In April, the entertainment industry began to recover.

It’s not that the situation outside has improved, but that everyone has become accustomed to the existence of the epidemic and has found new channels.

The music shows will go on, but they can just be changed to pre-recording without an audience; TV movies have become truly closed-door shooting, and once the door is closed, no one is allowed in or out until the shooting is over; for offline commercial performances, even if you dare to perform, others won’t dare to come and watch, and schools have been temporarily suspended, and there are still people who dare to go outside to watch the fun.

In general, everyone is still at a loss, but there will no longer be a situation where people can hardly survive.

The ones that really can't survive are the physical stores that only do offline business. Since people can't go out at will or gather together, the offline stores have almost no chance of survival. The financial pressure is gradually crushing one store owner after another.

……

"The loss of commercial performances must be a big blow to Soy Sauce Bottle, right?"

It was rare for Chen Chen to take the initiative to invite Park Jin Young to have dinner together.

"Honestly, it's really, really big." Park Jin-young didn't need to pretend in front of Chen Chen. He took a sip of water to moisten his throat and then started complaining, "Our child is the type who has a lot of offline activities. After losing offline activities, his contact with fans has faded. This is the most terrifying thing."

"Hmm." Chen Chen didn't comment, and turned around to throw a question, "Have you thought of a solution?"

"There is no way to solve it, I can only pray that the epidemic will pass quickly." Park Jin-young continued to complain, "I hope it can get better before the stock price drops to an unacceptable level, otherwise it will be unbearable!"

"Has it become serious enough to start affecting stock prices?" Chen Chen was a little surprised. "I thought the epidemic wouldn't have a big impact on entertainment companies' stock prices."

"The value of idols who can't see their fans will be greatly reduced, which will definitely affect the company's stock price." Park Jin-young glanced at Chen Chen indignantly, "It's only because your C headquarters is not listed, otherwise even you will fall!"

"Haha, C headquarters will not be listed. You may not have the chance to see my stock price fall."

Chen Chen smiled and waved his hand with a firm tone.

The internal relationship of C headquarters is not complicated at all. There are only three people: Chen Chen, Black Cat, and Mouyin.

But unfortunately, except for Chen Chen, the other two are very strong, and they will not allow any more people to enter C headquarters to cause trouble.

And as long as you come in, even if you are causing trouble, the two bosses don’t care whether you have good intentions or not!

Therefore, as long as the C headquarters has such a structure, it will not be able to go public, no matter who comes.

"I just heard you say that you have an unacceptable bottom line for the stock price. What is that?"

Chen Chen suddenly became curious and asked a question.

"You know, this bottom line is dynamic, because everyone's stock price is moving." Park Jin-young gestured to Chen Chen with his hand, "The bottom line for Soy Sauce Bottle is that its market value cannot be lower than 1.2 times that of Stupid Hat."

"The 0.2 of this 1.2 is from your personal value. When your contract expires, it will disappear from our books immediately and cannot be counted. So our bottom line is to maintain our number one position in the industry."

Park Jin-young made it clearer and said he was not hiding anything.

"I understand. I see." Chen Chen smiled and responded, "The number one position in the industry is very important. Everyone likes it." "But I see that your C headquarters doesn't seem to like it very much. Am I right?"

Park Jin-young brought the issue back to Chen Chen.

"The importance of C's other businesses far exceeds that of the artist business. I have no right to compete with you for the top spot in the industry." Chen Chen shook his head modestly. "Even if I claim the title of No. 1, no one will recognize it."

"You are always so clear-headed." Park Jin-young simply praised him, and then suddenly moved the topic forward a big step, "Okay, it's time to get to the point. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want Brother Zhenying to introduce me to some talent." Chen Chen was also quite open, "I have some spare money recently and I want to spend it. I need someone to guide me."

"Do you have any spare money? How can you have spare money when everyone is about to encounter financial problems? I remember that C headquarters is still filming TV shows and movies, right?!"

Park Jin-young felt that his jaw was about to become uncontrollable, so he quickly picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth to stretch it out.

"Ahem." Park Jin-young knew he had lost his composure, so he coughed and then became serious. "How much spare money do you have? Where do you want to spend it?"

"I have quite a lot of money, but I'm not in a position to reveal the exact amount." Chen Chen said calmly, "As for the direction, I want to choose the catering industry."

"The saying that food is the most important thing for people will never become outdated, and because Alin Canteen has opened up the relationship between supply channels and delivery channels, it will be more convenient to do catering business."

"Of course, we are not starting now. We just want to come up with a backup plan in advance." Chen Chen added: "It feels like we are courting death if we get involved in the catering industry at this time."

When it comes to investment, Chen Chen actually knows some of the more popular industries that are particularly profitable, such as artificial intelligence.

No one can say that AI is not profitable, right? The problem is that Chen Chen is so small that he is not qualified to play AI by himself. When the opportunity is right, he can just follow the buttocks of a certain audio company to make a living. Holding on to others' thighs may make you climb faster and higher than working hard on your own.

"You made your point very clear." Park Jin-young's expression changed several times in an instant, and finally he sighed and said helplessly: "The key is that I really know such a person, so annoying!"

It's a bit hard to help others expand their business when your own career is declining.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Zhenying to introduce you." Chen Chen also played a gangster, "I think if the other party is sensible enough, he will give you a certain amount of compensation after the matter is completed. I won't give you an introduction fee."

"You don't have to give me that. There's no such thing. Besides, I want something else than the referral fee." Park Jin-young rubbed his hands with a smile and said flatteringly, "Please share your food supply channels. Soy Sauce Bottle's canteen really needs this. Of course, it would be even better if there were organic agricultural products available!"

Chen Chen was a little speechless. This man's obsession with the organic farmer canteen was a little too strong.

"They really do have it." Chen Chen covered his eyes. "I have a connection with the Blue House. They supply all kinds of food, including organic produce."

There is another line in Arlene Canteen that is provided by Black Cat, and the price there is a little lower.

"Ha! Thank you so much!" Park Jin-young was so excited that he wanted to shake hands with Chen Chen. "I'm surprised that you have been connected with the Blue House so early."

"No, I just wanted someone to do something for me." Chen Chen rolled his eyes. "I have a charity fund in the Blue House for several years and I haven't asked about it. I won't be rejected if I ask them to do something for me."
