I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 232 Cooperation and Quarrel

Xiao Ma looks very polite, not like a businessman. He just talks politely and then gets down to business.

"Director Wan, I wonder if your Qingshan Media Company is short of investment."

Wan Qingshan laughed dumbly. Penguin's future style of investment, investment, investment, buy, buy, buy is now available.

"Mr. Ma, Qingshan Media is not short of investment now."

Xiao Ma was not disappointed either. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Director Wan, although your Qingshan Publishing Company is developing well, everything depends on Penguin's channels."

The smile on Wan Qingshan's face suddenly disappeared.

"Even if Qingshan Publishing Company fails, it will have no impact on me. Qingshan Publishing Company is just an attempt of mine. It doesn't matter if I try or fail."

"Wan Dao, your attempt has caused a stir on the Internet. No one has ever thought of integrating with other industries through the Internet.

Because of Wan Daoq's attempt, the Internet had a voice last year, Internet+, where the Internet and other industries are combined for mutual benefit.

From the time this statement was put forward to now, some Internet companies have cooperated with industry. Internet + Industry has achieved good results.

Director Wan, I have no other meaning, because some Internet companies are already preparing to enter the film and television industry.

Of course, Penguin cannot be left behind in this Internet+ trend. If Director Wan cannot have in-depth cooperation with Penguin, then Penguin will have to enter on its own, and then I am afraid that it will no longer be able to support Qingshan Publishing Company. "

Xiao Ma's words are very beautiful, but in the final analysis, as Wan Qingshan understands, if you don't let me buy shares, then I will end it myself. Your Qingshan Distribution Company will never use the Penguin channel again in the future.

Wan Qingshan was not angry at all. If he were in Xiao Ma's position, he would do the same.

Wan Qingshan thought silently for a moment and then said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, I wonder if you have heard of the Che Guevara platform for online movie ticket purchase established a few years ago."

Xiao Ma's eyes brightened under his gold-rimmed glasses and he smiled, "I know, Director Wan, do you think the online ticket purchasing platform has great prospects?"

“I don’t understand e-commerce, but I know that the development of e-commerce is about convenience.

You can buy what you want without going out. This is convenience.

The same is true for online ticket purchasing platforms. If you buy online, you don’t have to queue.

As long as Mr. Ma believes that the movie market has a future, then the online ticket purchasing platform will have a future. "

Xiao Ma thought for a while and said, "Director Wan, do you want to cooperate with Penguin to open an online ticket purchasing platform?"

"Haha, Mr. Ma, you think too highly of me. I know e-commerce. It cost a lot of money to occupy the market in the early stage, but I don't have the money to burn it.

When I talked about the online ticket purchase platform, I just hoped that Mr. Ma could change the direction of development and let my Qingshan Distribution Company go. "

Wan Qingshan puts himself very low, but there is nothing he can do about it. Penguin is such a big company and if he really wants to do distribution in person, then Qingshan Distribution Company, which also does online distribution and relies on Penguin channels, will definitely not be a match.

As for Penguin not being able to do it, Wan Qingshan has never thought about finding cooperation with other Internet companies.

Several major Internet companies are all acting in the same way. If they can't do it for long, they will definitely think of ways to swallow up Qingshan Publishing Company.

Among the major Internet companies, Wan Qingshan thinks that Penguin is pretty good, although Penguin’s copying, copying, copying has been criticized by the outside world.

But from a business perspective, at least the companies Penguin invests in are not like the companies Alibaba invests in. In the end, they will either be sucked dry by Alibaba, abandoned, or completely controlled by Alibaba.

Xiao Ma really didn't look like a businessman, and Wan Qingshan's words of begging for mercy made him look awkward for a few seconds.

"Haha, Director Wan, I didn't mean that."

After Xiao Ma finished speaking, he felt even more embarrassed. He also knew that no one believed this.

Xiao Ma twisted her body in embarrassment and changed the subject.

"Wan Dao, you have a fairly comprehensive understanding of e-commerce, but you are wrong about one thing. E-commerce costs money, but the money you burn is not necessarily your own money."

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows. Although e-commerce does not necessarily have to burn its own money to burn money, it is a company without a wealthy owner.

You Penguin are so rich, why will you burn other people's money when the time comes?

Also, are you willing to burn other people’s money?If you burn other people's money, you have to pay for the shares.

"Mr. Ma, I'm a layman and don't understand this. But, Mr. Ma, I've already told you about this platform, why are you still..."

"Why do I insist on cooperating?

Wandao, an e-commerce platform, ultimately cannot do without products and customers. Without these, the platform cannot develop.

Products, Wan Dao Your Qingshan Film and Television and Qingshan Media Company are companies that can produce excellent products.

Customer, Wan Dao, your Qingshan Cinema Line is among the best.

Therefore, the online ticket purchasing platform is ultimately inseparable from Wandaoyou. "

Looking at the smiling pony, Wan Qingshan became increasingly wary.

He wouldn't think that just because Xiao Ma didn't look like a businessman, he would think that Xiao Ma was really not a businessman and was very honest in his words.

Although the reasons Xiao Ma mentioned are reasonable, they are by no means the main reason.

There are so many companies and theaters in the film and television industry, so it doesn't necessarily have to be his Qingshan connection, but Xiao Ma's behavior of forcing him to cooperate has to make Wan Qingshan think that Xiao Ma has other plans.

After thinking for a moment, Wan Qingshan said, "Mr. Ma, you have said so, and it will be unreasonable for me to refuse again.

However, I have to make it clear first that my company, Qingshan Film and Television Company, is just a handbag company. Qingshan Cinema Chain, I am not looking for people to buy shares.

Qingshan Media Company may arrange to be listed later. If Mr. Ma is interested, Penguin can become a strategic investment when it goes public, but the shares will definitely not be large. "

Wan Qingshan doesn't really want to cooperate with Penguin, but he has no choice. If he still refuses after reaching this point, then Qingshan Publishing Company will definitely be hopeless.

We can only cooperate. As for the shares of Qingshan Media, when it goes public anyway, it will require private equity financing to bring in some capital. It is better to let Penguin come in. As long as the shares are not large and the price is not too low, that will be fine.

Xiao Ma's eyes lit up. He thought that after Wan Qingshan mentioned the online ticket purchasing platform, he would not be able to invest in Wan Qingshan's company, but he did not expect that there would be a surprise.

"Haha, of course I am interested, and I will definitely invest when the time comes.

It doesn't matter how many shares you have, just like you Wan Dao, just buy a small share of Penguin.

Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Director Wan, for your support. In 05, you spent tens of millions to buy Penguin shares. "

Penguin's stock price has grown very fast in the past few years. When Wan Qingshan and Chen Yanfeng bought it, Penguin's stock price was only more than 200 yuan, but now it is more than [-] yuan, not counting dividends.

It has increased almost forty times, and Wan Qingshan and Chen Yanfeng's 5000 million is now 20 billion.

When Penguin's stock price reached 100 yuan, the news that Wan Qingshan and Chen Yanfeng made huge profits by buying Penguin stock spread throughout the business circle.

As the person who controls Penguin, Xiao Ma certainly knows.

Wan Qingshan smiled and asked about Xiao Ma.

"Mr. Ma, when you said you were burning money, you were not burning your own money. What did you mean?"

"Director Wan, I plan to introduce other film and television companies later, and when the time comes, I will burn their money.

If something goes wrong when it is introduced later, Wan Dao, you can rest assured that Penguin’s money will be burned and you won’t be asked to pay. "

Wan Qingshan was even more wary. Since he was planning to bring in other film and television companies, why would he want to cooperate with him? This was not a vain advantage for him.

There is a huge difference in the value of the online ticket purchasing platform between the early cooperation and the later introduction of the company.

Although I don't understand Xiao Ma's plan, at this point, I have no choice but to cooperate and be more careful later.

Subsequently, Wan Qingshan and Xiao Ma agreed that the online ticket purchasing platform company Penguin would take the lead. After Penguin established the framework, they would discuss with Wan Qingshan how much to invest and how many shares to hold.

Then, after lunch, the two of them had a meal and separated.

After Xiao Ma returned to the company, he convened a meeting with senior executives.

"I just talked with Wan Qingshan, and the matter of buying a stake in Qingshan Media is on hold."

Everyone looked at each other. Taking a stake in Qingshan Media was the first step everyone had discussed to expand the penguin ecosystem. Why was it suddenly suspended?

"The suspension is because Wan Qingshan mentioned the online platform for purchasing movie tickets."

Xiao Ma's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Ren Yuxin even thought of other things and said excitedly, "Mr. Ma, online movie ticket purchasing platforms have great potential.

We have the size of Penguin, and through channels, the online movie ticket purchasing platform can develop immediately.

We can even be like groupon in foreign countries, through channels, we can connect offline merchants and customers to do group buying. "

"Old Ren, companies like Groupon already exist. A few months ago, Wang Xing established Meituan Company, which, like Groupon, does offline group buying.

Why, you want to compete with Wang Xing. "Xu Chenye, one of the Penguin Tigers, said with a smile.

"We are not afraid of competition. With Penguin as a channel, Wang Xing will never be able to catch up with us."

As soon as Ren Yuxin finished speaking, everyone showed proud smiles.

In their opinion, with the size of Penguin, Wang Xing cannot even catch up in this kind of business.

Xiao Ma frowned, "Don't forget Paipai.com. Size is not a guarantee for any business."

When mentioning Paipai.com, which has fallen behind and is getting further depressed every year, everyone lost their smiles.Xiao Ma glanced around the crowd and said, "We'll talk about group buying later. Do you have any opinions on the online movie ticket purchasing platform?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Xiao Ma continued, "Since there is no objection, Zhidong, you lead the people to build the platform as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhidong, one of the "Five Tigers" of Penguin, nodded quickly.

"Mr. Ren, on your side, the video platform cannot be stopped. This time on the online movie ticket purchasing platform, I will recruit Wan Qingshan to cooperate with us. His products and theater chains are what we need.

I will talk to him about the film and television network broadcast rights in his wife's hands later. "

Xiao Ma wants to invest in Wanqingshan's company. First, he has taken a fancy to Wanqingshan's company. He wants to invest in Wanqingshan's company as a springboard to fully enter the film and television industry.

Second, it is for the online broadcast rights of the thousands of movies and TV shows that Chen Yumo holds.

There are many video playback platforms now, and most movies do not have copyrights. People from major companies also know that without copyrights, there will be a big problem later, so they are also working hard to buy movie copyrights.

Chen Yumo previously acquired the film and television network broadcast rights of many movies, and his subsequent acquisitions have not stopped.

Currently, most of the online broadcast copyrights of films and TV shows in Hong Kong and the Mainland are in the hands of Chen Yumo, who owns the online broadcast rights of thousands of movies and TV shows.

People from major video broadcasting companies also talked to Chen Yumo about purchasing the rights to film and television network broadcasting, but Chen Yumo didn't want to sell it yet. She was waiting for the above to issue policies, and then she could sell it at a higher price, so she offered a sky-high price of 100 billion. , which made people from major companies almost curse their mothers out of anger.

Penguin is also preparing to enter the video broadcasting platform, but Chen Yumo holds the film and television network broadcasting rights very tightly. He has no choice but to start from Wanqingshan.

When Xiao Ma saw Ren Yuxin nodded, he exclaimed, "You really can't underestimate the world. Wan Qingshan, an Internet layman, actually reminded me of a channel that no one has noticed.

Now that smartphones are out, the trend in the future will definitely be that mobile phones are computers.

So as long as smartphones become popular, online ticket purchasing platforms will be a very important channel.

However, we should not rush things. We can first let Wang Xing explore the way. As long as our online ticket purchasing platform is successful and Wang Xing also starts to do it, it means that there is a lot of potential in this area.

When the time comes, we will put more effort into providing food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we can completely connect them. "

The basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are completely connected, and Penguin has entered every aspect. This makes everyone so excited that their eyes gleam. If this is really done, not to mention Alibaba, even Microsoft will not be able to compare with them.

While the Penguin executives were excited, Wan Qingshan was frowning in the room.

He frowned, not because he kept thinking about why Xiao Ma forced him to cooperate, but after returning home, he received a call from Chen Yanfeng, asking him to borrow money, and if he borrowed it back, it would be one billion!
Chen Yanfeng borrowed money. This was something Wan Qingshan never expected. Chen Yanfeng had always been very safe in business, so why would he want to borrow money.

And he still asked him to borrow money. Chen Yanfeng was face-loving. Being able to borrow money from him meant that Chen Yanfeng had already borrowed money from everyone who could borrow money, so he asked him, his son-in-law, to borrow money.

Wan Qingshan agreed to borrow the money, but after questioning out of curiosity, he realized that Chen Yanfeng was doing it entirely for Chen Yumo.

Because of Chen Yumo, Wan Qingshan canceled his planned trip to the airport to fly to Los Angeles in the afternoon.

In the evening, Chen Yumo, who looked tired, returned home and saw the dishes on the table and the Wanqing Mountain beside the table.

"Didn't you fly to the United States in the afternoon? Why, you suddenly stopped going because of something unexpected." Chen Yumo asked in surprise.

"It's something."

Seeing that Wan Qingshan looked strange, Chen Yumo asked worriedly, "Qingshan, what, what happened?"

"You go wash your hands first, and we'll talk while we eat."

Chen Yumo didn't ask immediately, "Okay."

Chen Yumo was very curious about why Wan Qingshang didn't go to the United States, so his meals were always tasteless.

After she took a few bites, she saw that Wan Qingshan was still talking about trivial things but not serious matters. She couldn't help it anymore.

"Qingshan, what on earth is going on?"

Wan Qingshan was silent for a while, put down his chopsticks, and asked softly, "Is the real estate company short of money recently?"

Chen Yumo's expression suddenly changed, "My dad told you."

"Yes, but is it true as dad said?"

Chen Yumo put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Yes, there is a problem with capital turnover, but it is not a big problem. I will solve it after the bank loan is obtained."

"Yu Mo, when you said you wanted to build a residence, I told you not to be too radical. Why didn't you listen?"

Wan Qingshan was helpless. The reason why Chen Yanfeng borrowed money was because Chen Yumo, like some real estate companies, used loans to develop.

It sounds nice to talk about loan development, but the real situation is that you use other people's loans to develop, pre-sell the house, and after the buyer borrows a loan to buy a house or buys a house in full, because the house has not been built yet, the money is put into the supervision account.

Supervisory accounts are said to be supervision, but if you find some connections, you can take away the money.

After taking money from the supervision account, it then takes land for development. Repeating this can reduce its own development funds and enable rapid development.

But once the funds cannot be recycled, a large number of unfinished buildings will occur. All the money will be used, and there will be no money to build houses.

In the end, it is a mess. The money in the supervision account is gone and the house is in ruins. Who will provide the money to solve it?

It’s okay that this approach didn’t expose a large number of unfinished buildings, but once it did, it would be a big problem for millions of families.

Chen Yumo is doing this now. Chen Yanfeng said it was borrowing money, but in fact it was not borrowing money.

Chen Yumo had only been engaged in housing development for a short period of time, and it was not large enough for Chen Yanfeng to borrow money from his son-in-law.

Chen Yanfeng, who has experienced the Hainan real estate bubble, has always known that the current development model of real estate companies is very dangerous.

Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo were traveling before, but suddenly Chen Yumo was called back by Chen Yanfeng. It wasn't that the real estate company was so busy that it couldn't do without Chen Yumo, but Chen Yanfeng discovered that Chen Yumo was actually developing the real estate company like this.

After Chen Yanfeng called Chen Yumo back, he persuaded Chen Yumo to stop.

But Chen Yumo not only refused to stop, but also wanted to take money from Chen Yanfeng to expand the scale of development.

Of course Chen Yanfeng didn't give it, and then the relationship between the two became tense.

The stalemate had not eased for several months, so Chen Yanfeng had no choice but to ask Wan Qingshan to persuade Chen Yumo to stop by saying he wanted to borrow money.

"Yes, I promised you before. But if everyone does this, nothing will happen.

In Qingshan, house prices are increasing every moment. If you get the land one day late, you may lose tens of millions in profit. There is nothing you can't do. "

Looking at Chen Yumo who was retorting excitedly, Wan Qingshan felt in a daze, is this still the same Chen Yumo?

Wan Qingshan rubbed his brows and sighed, "Yu Mo, when dad was talking about developing residential properties, you used island country real estate as an example to tell dad not to develop residential properties. Why have you become so radical now?"

"I know there are dangers, but before the housing bubble, I just got out of it."

It's easy to say "get out", but in the face of interests, who can hold on? If it were so easy to get out, there wouldn't be so many gamblers who gamble to the point of losing their entire fortune.

"Yu Mo, please stop. The money we have earned is enough for us to spend in ten lifetimes."

"What I spent ten lifetimes on is not just money, it's my career."

Chen Yumo kept retorting excitedly, which made Wan Qingshan, who had been suppressing it before and did not want to argue with Chen Yumo and just wanted to persuade him nicely, also became excited.

"What kind of career is it? It's not just about money. Do you dare to say that you have ever thought about making real estate your career?"

“I had never thought about it before, but I fell in love with this business after doing it and took it as my career.

Wan Qingshan, you cannot allow me to have a career just because you have a career yourself. "

Wan Qingshan's excitement made Chen Yumo, who was already excited, even more excited. He stood up as he spoke without thinking.

"When did I not allow you to have a career? If I had not allowed you to have a career, I would have advised you to stay at Nortel to teach or stay with me."

"You're not doing that for yourself. Don't think that I don't know about your relationship with Zeng Li and the others." Chen Yumo shouted excitedly.

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, "What does Zeng Li have to do with me? Have you never believed me from the beginning to the end?"

The excited Chen Yumo immediately wanted to open her mouth to speak, but when she suddenly saw Wan Qingshan's disheartened eyes, she froze and couldn't say anything else.

Then, she was silent for a while, and then walked directly upstairs.

"Don't leave yet, please tell me clearly, have you never trusted me?" Wan Qingshan stood up quickly and shouted at Chen Yumo's back.

Chen Yumo stopped and paused for a few seconds, "Now that I've said that, answer me first, have you ever thought of being sorry for me over the years?"

Then, Chen Yumo turned around and looked at Wanqingshan, "Look into my eyes and say, don't try to lie to me. I know that when you lie, your eyes are used to looking up."

Wan Qingshan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

To say that there really isn't one is impossible.

In the past, it may have been due to his psychological mysophobia that he felt dirty and never thought about it. However, as he grew older, his psychological mysophobia faded away.So he came up with the idea several times in Los Angeles last year.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Wan Qingshan's words, Chen Yumo sneered, turned around and continued walking upstairs.

After Chen Yumo's back disappeared at the top of the stairs, Wan Qingshan, who was stunned, came back to his senses.

Wan Qingshan sat down on the stool and was silent for a long time. Then he got up and took the barely touched food on the table to the kitchen for cleaning.

The next day, when the sky turned white, Wan Qingshan, who had only slept on the sofa for two hours, picked up his suitcase and went out to the airport.
