Lost eight hundred million at the beginning

Lin Ruoyan greeted the mother of classmate Lu, who said, "Hi, I'm Fu Ying, a teacher at Beijing Film and Television University."

Lin Ruoyan was even more surprised. It seems that her company has nothing to do with Jingying.Wait, the film that was invested and shot has entered the post-production stage. Could it be that it has something to do with Jingying?I heard that many film and television post-production companies are studios opened by teachers from various colleges and universities. They, directors and actors are all alumni and friends, and it is easy to solicit business with each other.

Fu Ying saw the puzzled expression on Lin Ruoyan's face, so she smiled and said, "Boss Lin, I wonder if you have time to chat with me. By the way, there is a nice coffee shop nearby. If you want me to treat you, let's go and sit down." speak?"

Is this something you want from her?Lin Ruoyan didn't have any serious work to do anyway, and it was just around four o'clock at the moment, so she agreed and said considerately: "If you don't come by car, I'll let the driver take you. You don't need to go outside for the coffee shop Yes, I opened one at home, let's go and drink for free."

Mother Ou knew before that the Lin family was a wealthy family, so she didn't refuse politely, she even dragged Liu Ying along and followed Lin Ruoyan to the school gate.It turned out that the luxury car Lin Ruoyan drove this time was different from the time when she went to pick up the children at the gate of the kindergarten. How many cars does the Lin family have?Each of them starts with a few million, which is too extravagant.

It is certain that the luxury car has a special driver. The driver opened the door for the three ladies, and after being settled, he followed the boss's instructions and drove to the back street of the courtyard homestay, where the coffee and light meals opened along the street.

After getting out of the car, Fu Ying said in surprise: "Oh, so you opened this coffee shop? This is the place I was going to recommend."

Lin Ruoyan smiled and said, "This is actually not a serious coffee shop, but a supporting restaurant for my courtyard homestay."

While speaking, she invited the two guests to the coffee shop.

The coffee shop has been open for a while, and has a certain reputation nearby. Hua Mengmeng still uses Y language advantage to post on various forums frequented by foreigners, Amway, a coffee shop with traditional Chinese charm.

At the time of the book, coffee shops in hutongs were still a rarity. Generally, alleys were full of small restaurants with local specialties.The coffee light meal is different. Coffee is a popular drink abroad, and the light meal is basically an improved Western food. The eating habits are easier to cater to customers from all over the world.

In short, there is a constant stream of guests here from morning to night, and there are no empty seats in the lobby at this time.

Lin Ruoyan simply asked the waiter to open a VIP tea room.This place usually only accepts appointments from gold card customers with a pre-stored consumption of more than [-] yuan. It is mainly about talking, with a certain degree of privacy, and will not be easily disturbed by other ordinary guests.

As for this pre-stored mode of consumption, Lin Ruoyan mentioned it casually, and Hua Mengmeng and Zhang Huanyu perfected it.

At this time, there were no convenient online payment tools, and people mainly used credit cards and cash when they went out.Some people like to come to such teahouses and coffee shops when doing business and discussing business. They have a certain atmosphere and a certain degree of privacy. There are relatively large discounts for pre-stored consumption, and there are often preferential activities, which are very attractive to customers.

At the same time, this pre-deposited money can also be used as the cost of the daily operation of the coffee shop, purchase ingredients, pay employees' salaries, and the business's income is more secure.

Of course, not just any restaurant can do this kind of pre-stored consumption card model. To persuade others to deposit so much money for you, firstly, the venue has certain characteristics and attractiveness, and secondly, the storefront is not rented, but bought by the owner himself. real estate.If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. You pay the money here. In case the coffee shop fails to manage and closes down, the owner's house is still there, and the probability of taking the money and running away is small.

The B & B coffee shop here conforms to the above logic, so when the pre-stored consumption card is launched, some repeat customers and surrounding businessmen will apply for it.After applying for a card, the number of times you come to spend more, and you will bring all kinds of friends, not only to eat and drink, but also to stay in the hotel, which also drives the overall business of the homestay.

Lin Ruoyan is the boss here, so she can use whichever room she wants to entertain guests at the moment.Coffee, beverages, refreshments, she made a set, which is the specialty of this store.

This gracious hospitality made Fu Ying, who originally said she was going to treat her, feel a little embarrassed.Mama Ou kept admiring, saying that the building here is elegant and tasteful, and there are so many foreigners going in and out to take pictures, which is different from ordinary business at first glance.

Lin Ruoyan didn't explain much, she just said that there is also a homestay function here, and if they have friends from other places or foreign countries who come to Beijing to play in the future, they will introduce them to come here to experience the charm of living in a courtyard house.Then she brought the topic back to what Fu Ying originally wanted to say.

Fu Ying felt a little unreal from the time she got in the luxury car to sitting in the VIP room of her favorite coffee shop. She never expected to meet someone like Boss Lin.Finally being asked the real question, she took a while to calm down and said, "Boss Lin, did you invest in a movie?"

"Oh, yes, it was several months ago, and the filming should be finished by now. I have someone in charge of it, and I don't usually ask about that project." Lin Ruoyan answered truthfully.

But Fu Ying knew that the investment in the project was 3000 million. Lin Ruoyan only let others look at such a big project, and she didn't care about it herself.

Ou's mother suppressed her envy and explained on her behalf: "It's like this, my family Xiaoxue heard about your investment in filming from Mengxi, and later mentioned it to her classmate Lu, who is Fu Ying's son Lu Yi Ming. Today, I told Mama Lu that you were coming to the parent-teacher meeting, so I just got to know each other. Fu Ying has a project here, and there may be opportunities for cooperation..."

Fu Ying said: "I don't dare to cooperate, I just want to ask for something. Our Beijing Film Academy hopes to hold a college student film festival that combines several colleges and universities. The personnel, judges, and entries are all organized, but suddenly there is not so much money. up.

We happened to participate in the film you invested in before, and several students I taught also participated in post-production and other work, so we wondered if we could have direct contact with you.After all, the director project team, they made it clear that they don't dare to disturb you about the project, let alone other things.

I also know your contact number, but I don't know how to mention it. I originally wanted to bring materials to visit your company formally.It was such a coincidence that I met you at the parents' meeting at your child's school, and Mama Ou was so eager to help, she wanted me to get to know you, so she took the liberty to speak. "

Lin Ruoyan did not see a specific description of the film festival held by Beijing Film Academy in the original book, but it seems that Wei Xu, the protagonist of the original book, participated in the film festival of his alma mater.Couldn't his alma mater be Jingying?

Now that people have already taken the initiative to say it, she can't pretend it didn't happen, so she asked: "There is an actor named Wei Xu in my film and television project, did he graduate from your school?"

A trace of complexity flashed in Fu Ying's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, she just nodded and said, "Yes, Wei Xu is my younger brother. I didn't know he was also in this project until I was editing the film. I stayed in school after graduation and took their class as a counselor, but I don’t know him very well, and I haven’t contacted him after graduation. Therefore, I can’t find you from him.”

Lin Ruoyan didn't think about the unnaturalness in Fu Ying's expression.It just confirms that the alma mater film festival that Wei Xu participated in when he was not too famous is probably this time.Then this can still be invested, and it can be used as a promotional channel for film projects by the way.
