If it were not for its historical legacy, the capital city would hardly qualify as a national capital. The autumn wind, layer upon layer, slowly begins to blow down the withered leaves. The Wang Brothers ponder the gains and losses of this investment back and forth in their office located in the capital.
Even though the advertising company founded by the two brothers is thriving, gaining the favor of capital is indeed difficult. Venture capital tends to invest more in high-tech fields, followed by retail and department stores.
Moreover, after accepting this investment, Huayi Brothers would no longer need to worry about financing difficulties. Thinking of the massive funds in Mr. Jiang's hands seeking investment opportunities, Wang Zhongjun felt excited.
After all, investing in film and television productions is also a risky endeavor, with a long investment cycle and significant uncertainty, making financing relatively challenging.
The uncertainty refers to valuation. When investing in film and television, how can one use the invested project to secure loans? What basis does one have for banks to accept the given valuation?
Currently, there are no precedents for using film rights box office and subsequent peripheral profits as collateral for loans. Investing in film and television feels more like gambling—choosing to believe that those skilled in gambling can produce a profitable movie.
The newly entered Wang Brothers also clearly recognize the importance and difficulty of securing financing for their investment projects.
However, facing Xu Xin's request, Wang Zhongjun felt somewhat troubled because they actually wanted to hold controlling shares, which made him reluctant to part with the foundation he had built over many years.
Due to being entangled in shareholding issues, the two had stayed in the capital for nearly a week.
Wang Zhonglei stubbed out his cigarette butt forcefully in the ashtray. "Big brother, this has been going on for quite a while; we can't just keep stalemated like this, can we?"
Wang Zhongjun shot a glare at his younger brother. The younger brother's temperament has always been somewhat impulsive and shortsighted, which was also a reason for his previous business failures.
However, after being interrupted like this, he finally made up his mind. What Jiang Yizhou wanted was simply to enter the industry and control a film and television company to pave the way for his sister; he did not have a strong desire to interfere with their company. The reason for wanting controlling shares was merely a display of wealth; since he hadn't spent much money, he might as well buy controlling shares outright.
Sister Xu was a professional venture capitalist pursuing profit; her demands were solely about profit margins.
So they could give them that many shares, but daily management would be left to the two brothers. They would agree in the contract that if they reached the expected profit targets, they could repurchase some shares.
This was essentially another form of gambling—betting on their future ability to elevate the company to new heights. If they failed to meet the agreed targets, there would still be major shareholders backing them up. As long as they didn’t mess things up, they could continue managing the company.
It is indeed a rare opportunity that cannot be missed. If I can board this ship, I believe Huayi Brothers can develop rapidly. If I miss it, I can only continue to develop step by step.
"Okay, I got it! You all go directly to find Xu Xin, and I will talk to her myself." Jiang Yizhou hung up the phone with a smile and then called Xu Xin to clarify his views on the Huayi project, urging her to get it done as soon as possible.
"Look at how happy you are; did you accomplish something big?" Ding Zhengnan asked with a smile.
She drove to pick up Jiang Yizhou after work. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, although this was only the first week, she seemed determined to continue this routine.
"I just finalized a deal with a film and television company! You know my sister's thoughts; our family wasn't well off before, and she could only study to change her fate. Now that there’s not so much pressure, I want to help her with whatever she wants!" Jiang Yizhou explained as he sat in the passenger seat while Ding Zhengnan started the car.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his girlfriend revealing a good amount of black fabric, which made Jiang Yizhou react shamelessly. He wondered how thick it was.
Before he knew it, he reached out and started feeling...
Smack!
"What are you doing? Are you looking for death? If I weren't driving, I'd definitely kick you!" Ding Zhengnan firmly swatted his hand away and scolded him.
His girlfriend was still quite conservative outside of the bedroom. Thinking this way, Jiang Yizhou brought his hand to his nose and sniffed it, which only angered the girl further. She slammed on the brakes and grabbed onto Jiang Yizhou's love handles.
After a moment, the car started moving again. Jiang Yizhou finally settled down a bit; he had indeed been quite reckless lately.
If one were to look for reasons, externally it was his girlfriend's tacit approval, and internally it was his confidence stemming from achieving the success of having both arms around beautiful women or perhaps an inflated sense of pride.
Yu Jinghong, who was in the Ginkgo Courtyard residence, felt a mix of anger and panic upon hearing the sound of the car entering the garage.
She was furious that she had been kept waiting for so long. Did they not receive her message about staying over before she returned home?
She was panicking as it seemed she was now trespassing into a private residence. The security measures of this house were quite poor; there were too many windows. After circling the house, she found three unlocked windows and easily climbed inside.
After the sound of the car engine faded, the increasingly close footsteps made her even more anxious. She quickly drank all the water from her teacup, wiped it clean with her sleeve, returned it to its original place, and looked around for any other hiding spots.
She was unfamiliar with the situation here and, in her panic, ran up to the second floor.
With a clatter, a set of keys was thrown onto the plate on the shoe cabinet by Jiang Yizhou. He looked at his girlfriend and the box in her hands, curiously asking, "What’s in there? You seem to treasure it so much!"
"It's a secret; it's a tool that will bring you bad luck!" Ding Zhengnan said strangely. However, seeing her bright smile, Jiang Yizhou took it as just a girl's secret and assumed it was merely a way to tell him not to touch it.
Then she carried the seemingly heavy box up the stairs while Jiang Yizhou kindly lifted the entire box for her and took a closer look at it.
It was an aluminum metal box with no markings on the surface and surprisingly had a combination lock. It clearly looked like a box for storing valuable items, and he began to ponder what possible combinations there could be.
The girl’s birthday? Her parents' birthdays? His own birthday? Although he added the last one himself, he still hoped that Ding Zhengnan had set the password to his birthday.
"Thud..." Jiang Yizhou shifted his gaze from the box towards the bedroom. Did something fall?
