Coming out of the teahouse, Xiao Yunhai went to the Hanhai Film Investment Company and saw Zhao Zhen waiting for him in the reception room.
All the post-production for the second season of iPartment had been completed. Zhao Zhen brought the film over and let Xiao Yunhai have a look.
"Zhao Zhen, you're really serious when you shoot."
From the beginning of the crew to the present, Zhao Zhen took more than three months to complete the 20 episodes of indoor scenes.
One had to know that Xiao Yunhai only used 18 days to film the first season.
Zhao Zhen said with some embarrassment, "I was afraid of embarrassing you, so I was a little slow."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Your approach is right. Being careful and serious is the necessary condition to be an excellent director. Come, let's go to the screening room.
As the son-in-law of Hanhai's boss, the staff naturally agreed to Xiao Yunhai's request.
After watching two episodes, Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done. The details are handled very well. I can tell at a glance that you're really serious. However, I'm not going to broadcast it to the TV station now. "
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I understand. The economic crisis has just begun. Those businesses can't pay a lot of money for advertising. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's good that you can understand. After this storm passes, I'll go to my uncle. He's now the director of Anhui Satellite TV. He specifically asked for our show. It should be able to sell for a good price. "
Zhao Zhen said, "Senior, you can do as you see fit."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If this show can sell well, I'll definitely give you a big red packet. Let's go. Let's go find my father-in-law and discuss joining Hanhai. "
Zhao Zhen said happily, "That's great."
Since it was a talent recommended by his son-in-law, Wang Mingsheng naturally wouldn't refuse. Soon, the company's brokerage department signed a contract with Zhao Zhen.
In fact, it wasn't just iPartment. Many companies' TV series were waiting. Among them was Tian Junhao, who spent a lot of money to shoot Legend of the Swordsman.
In a private room of a five-star hotel, Tian Junhao and Xia Chengfeng sat together.
Speaking of which, it's also his bad luck. He just finished the post-production and before he could promote, he encountered such a big economic crisis, which made Tian Junhao very depressed.
He originally owed Xiao Yunhai $255 million. With the interest, it was a total of $262 million.
Affected by the economic crisis, the exchange rate of the US dollar plummeted. Originally, Tian Junhao thought that he had taken a big advantage. He did not expect to take out the contract and see that it was settled in Hua Xia currency at the exchange rate at that time.
In other words, he had to give Xiao Yunhai 780 million Hua Xia dollars.
At first, he didn't take this clause to heart, but now it was too late for regrets.
Tian Junhao couldn't help but wonder if this Xiao Yunhai could predict the future and knew about the economic crisis in the United States.
For this Legend of the Swordsman, Tian Junhao had lost a lot of money. He only hoped that he would be able to earn it back when it was broadcasted.
Xia Chengfeng looked at the depressed Tian Junhao and said, "Young Master Tian, are you really going to delay the broadcast of 'The Legend of the Swordsman'?"
Tian Junhao sighed. "What can I do if I don't delay it? I originally wanted to learn from Xiao Yunhai. I only wanted the advertising share. But now those investors can't even take care of themselves. How can they have the money to advertise at the TV station? Sigh, it's really outrageous. "
Xia Chengfeng said, "That's right. The stock price of our Hongda Film and Media Company has fallen a lot in the past two days. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on. "
Tian Junhao laughed. "Come on. You think I don't know that you have Hongda Music, which can bring you tens of millions of income every day. Haha, our Hua Xia is different from the United States. Americans rely on the government. Once a financial crisis occurs, they are all finished. But we are hiding wealth among the people. Although the companies are losing a lot, the impact on the people of Hua Xia is not big. Your Hongda Music occupies more than 30% of the market share. It is simply a money-making machine. "
Xia Chengfeng sighed. "If only the shares of Hongda Music were in our hands."
As soon as his voice fell, Xia Chengfeng's phone rang.
"Hello, this is Xia Chengfeng."
"What? I see. I'll go back right away. "
Xia Chengfeng's face was very ugly. He stood up and said to Tian Junhao, "Young Master Tian, I'm sorry. I don't have time to eat with you. I need to rush back immediately for an emergency meeting."
Tian Junhao said, "If you have something to do, go ahead."
Xia Chengfeng rushed back to Hongda Film and Media Company. When he came to the conference room, he saw that the company's top executives had already arrived and sat down in his seat.
Xia Hongda said in a deep voice, "Well, everyone is here. Old Zhang, tell us. "
Zhang Tao stood up and said, "Colleagues, I have to tell you a very bad news. Hongda Music is being maliciously acquired."
"What?"
"How could it be?"
Zhang Tao's first sentence made everyone feel shocked.
Xia Chengfeng frowned and said, "Minister Zhang, how did you know?"
Zhang Tao said, "Hongda Music, including President Xia, has a total of five shareholders. The rest are in the hands of individual investors. Yesterday, I had dinner with one of the shareholders, President Zhang. He drank too much and inadvertently revealed that he sold 16% of his shares to Hu Yaoting, the boss behind Jiujiu Music. "
"So, I asked someone to check the stock exchange today and found that not only President Zhang, but another major shareholder, President Li, also quietly changed his shares to Hu Yaoting. And since last year, there have been dozens of speculators quietly buying our shares. Although we haven't investigated their identities, Hu Yaoting is the most likely. If this is the case, a conservative estimate is that Hu Yaoting already has more than 35% of our shares in Hongda Music. "
Xia Hongda said, "We only have 42% of the shares in Hongda Music. That is to say, once the other party makes a move again, Hongda Music will probably be owned by Hu. Therefore, after getting the news, I have called the other two shareholders. They promised that they would not sell to Hu Yaoting. "
"However, I don't believe their guarantee. So, the safest way is to buy the shares in their hands. As long as I have more than 51% of the shares in my hands, Hu Yaoting is not a concern. “”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xia Hongda continued, "Those two shareholders seem to be very clear about the current situation. They are people who won't act until they see the hare. If we want to buy the shares from them, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price. "
Zhang Tao said, "But the key is that we don't have enough funds. This is a critical period. The bank won't give us any loans. "
Xia Hongda said, "So, I hope that everyone can think of a way to raise enough funds. Our difference is more than 3 billion. "
Xia Chengfeng said, "Dad, why must we buy their shares?"
Xia Hongda smiled bitterly. "They have already discussed it. Whether it's me or Hu Yaoting, if we want to buy the shares, we have to buy both their shares at a very high price. They want 8 billion for 12% of the shares, not a cent less. "
"Damn, isn't this raising the price?"
"That's too ruthless. Even two days ago, 12% was only 7 billion. Now that the economic crisis has broken out, they actually increased it instead of decreasing it. They really know how to take advantage of the situation. "
"No, this price is too high. We can't afford it at all."
Zhang Tao said, "I've asked someone to check. The Hu Financial Group doesn't seem to have such a large amount of liquidity now. The economic crisis's impact on them is no less than ours. But we can't rule out the possibility of Hu Yaoting getting external help. "
Xia Hongda said, "No matter what, I must get more than 50% of the stock market share. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. The most despicable thing is that those two only want cash. Their company is also in trouble and urgently needs cash flow. "
Zhang Tao thought for a moment and said, "Chairman Xia, can we put the company in the bank as collateral?"
Xia Hongda nodded and asked, "Does anyone have any other ideas?"
Everyone shook their heads. It was more than three billion. Not to mention that it was impossible to borrow it, even if it was possible to borrow it, no one would dare to do it.
Xia Hongda sighed and said, "Looks like this is the only way. Old Zhang, how long will it take to get a mortgage loan like this? "
Zhang Tao said, "Find some connections. The earliest is the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Xia Hongda frowned and said, "Then do it as soon as possible."
After the meeting at Hongda Film and Television ended, a senior executive returned to his office and locked the door. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Chairman Hu, Xia Hongda already knows that you're buying Hongda Music Network. He's preparing to …"
On the other end of the phone, Hu Yaoting put down her phone and frowned.
Yang Bin, who was beside her, saw her expression and asked, "Director Hu, is there a problem?"
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "That's right. Xia Hongda knows about us and is preparing to mortgage Hongda Film and Television to the bank to borrow money to buy shares from the other two shareholders. "
Yang Bin narrowed his eyes and said decisively, "Chairman Hu, we can't wait any longer. We have to act immediately."
Hu Yaoting smiled bitterly and said, "Those two shareholders have already joined forces. If we want to buy, we have to buy all of it. They want 8 billion for 12% of the shares. "
"8 billion?" Yang Bin scolded angrily. "Those two bastards really know how to raise the price."
Hu Yaoting said, "We've worked hard for more than a year. We can't let our efforts go to waste because of 8 billion, right?"
Yang Bin frowned and said, "But Xiao Yunhai will definitely not agree. This price is too expensive."
Hu Yaoting gritted her teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll give him 12% of the shares after our two music networks merge."
Yang Bin said, "Chairman Hu, why don't we borrow money from him?"
Hu Yaoting was stunned and said, "Old Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? This is 8 billion, not 80 yuan. "
Yang Bin said, "I'll give him a call first. What if he's willing to lend us the money?"
Hu Yaoting said, "Then you can try. Old Yang, tell him that I only need to use this 8 billion for two months. After two months, our Hu Consortium will return the money to him. When the time comes, I'll give him 8.5 billion with interest. "
Yang Bin nodded and took out his phone to call Xiao Yunhai.
