Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Chapter 261 Sorry, I am an investor
"Why can't you come here to ask for my WeChat account?" Mary retorted, giving Shen anguished a look on the side. The light on the stage was not very clear, and she could only see the little boy who came on stage. His whole body was fair and fair. Mary couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Looking at the audience on stage, Shen Anfei cursed in her heart. Are there so many handsome guys now?

These are all prettier than me.

"This handsome guy saw our performance and wants to join our happy twists?" Shen Tong loved to joke, "But for our comedy, it's best to find someone as ugly as Mary."

"Who are you talking about?" Mary stood behind her and kicked her painful butt hard.

Lin Yu smiled broadly, "That's right, I want to talk to your boss."

"Hey, you really want to do that?" Shen Tong couldn't help but look at Lin Yu up and down, "Classmate, have you ever studied acting?"

Happy Twist currently does not have many employees. Although Shen Tong does not know what happened above, he probably knows that Happy Twist's funds are relatively tight, but this does not prevent him from welcoming someone who wants to join.

"That's right, they are my classmates, and I am a sophomore from the theater next door." Lin Yu took out his student ID card.

"I'm really from the film school. Hello, classmate. You are also interested in dialogue dramas." Shen Tong smiled broadly, feeling like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Doesn't the drama have support from above now?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, I'm not sure. I heard that there are some, but not much after being divided. We actors just get some dead wages. The ticket fees are not enough to cover our expenses." Shen Tong complained, and the whole People are also worried.

My own company is still running precariously now.

"I'll take you to see Zhang Chen." Shen Tong said and led Lin Yu the way. As he walked, Shen Tong was still whining and talking. Happy Mahua has really few manpower now. It is definitely a good thing if someone with vitality joins.

However, whether Lin Yu can get in is another matter. After all, this will definitely require an interview.

Film school acting and drama are not the same thing after all.

Shen Tong estimated that this fair-looking boy might have a hard time with Zhang Chen. After all, their team is a comedy team, and Lin Yu is not "comedy" in appearance.

Moreover, boys who are good-looking at first glance often have particularly poor acting skills.

This is a rented theater, not a venue for happy twists. Zhang Chen was resting backstage. As soon as the door opened, about a dozen actors were resting here and packing their luggage.

In the corner, a man wearing an undershirt and a programmer's hair style sat silently in the corner.

"Boss Zhang, I'm bringing a new person." Shen Tong said in a loud voice.

"Ah." Zhang Chen stood up, looked over, and saw a tall, handsome, fair-skinned boy brought in by Shen Tong. For a moment, he was a little confused about the purpose of this person's visit. Zhang Chen just stood up and said friendly "Hello, hello, may I ask what this is?..."

"He's here to join our Happy Twist." Shen Tong introduced enthusiastically from the side.

"Oh." Zhang Chen was a little disappointed, but he shook hands with Lin Yu vigorously and said happily, "Young man, you also like dramas. Do you often watch our comedy dramas?"

"However, the drama is still different after all." Zhang Chen said slowly, sighing a little mentally.

There is no way, what Happy Mahua is looking for now is not human beings, and Happy Mahua’s start-up capital is too small. It will be almost exhausted to raise these people, not to mention one more person and one more mouth.

Children find it fun, but heads like them find life difficult.

"This classmate is a student of Chinese Opera!" Shen Tong hurriedly added again and introduced.

"A student of Chinese Opera." Zhang Chen's expression immediately became more enthusiastic, but he was still embarrassed. Happy Twist's team was all made up of artists from all over the world. Those who were born in Chinese Opera often have high ambitions and low abilities, which makes them even more troublesome. .

At the beginning, Zhang Chen might have given him three cents of face and pretended to have an interview. If it didn't work, he would have found a reason to coax him away.

but now……

Happy Twist No Money!Several investors also backed down, and he didn't want to recruit people now, so he was really out of mood.

"This classmate, I'm very sorry. Our team has no shortage of people for the time being." Zhang Chen said straight to the point.

This is Zhang Chen.

Looking at this man with a frustrated face, in another time and space, he would have been the most low-key CEO of a listed company, successfully bringing Happy Twist Company to glory.

But now, this man is not good at words, a bit introverted and dull.

Throwing him into the crowd, you would never guess that this person is the boss of Happy Muggles.

Hearing Zhang Chen's refusal, Shen Tong and Mary were both disappointed.

They don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

"No." Lin Yu, who was standing there shaking hands with Zhang Chen and not even letting go of Zhang Chen's hand, finally said, "Boss Zhang, right? I'm here to invest in Happy Twist."

"Huh?" Behind him, Shen Tong and Mary were both shocked. In the entire backstage, about a dozen actors all lost their voices and looked at this young man who was not even older than him in shock.

"Uh?" Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, "You mean, you want to invest in our Happy Twist."

Zhang Chen looked at Lin Yu up and down. He really didn't expect such an answer from Lin Yu. His expression seemed a little smiley and he said patiently, "So you are a loyal audience of our Happy Twist, but do you know how much investment it will cost?" , how much will you pay?"

"Boss Zhang," Lin Yu said, "I think what you should be concerned about is that there are still people willing to invest in you, how much they are willing to invest, and what percentage of the shares you need, instead of asking this kind of question."

"The funds for Happy Twist should be very tight right now. Even if your reputation is better, the drama is too niche and unpopular, and there won't be any capital to find you, right?"

Listening to this boy's somewhat mature speech, Zhang Chen pushed up his glasses. Shen Tong and Mary behind him couldn't help but look at each other.

This is true.

"Then what do you want?" Zhang Chen asked patiently.

"I want to fully acquire this team, and I can reserve 10% of the equity for you. From now on, I will be responsible for the entire profit and loss of Happy Mahua."

Shen Tong and Mary were shocked. At this moment, the entire backstage fell silent. Everyone looked at Zhang Chen and Lin Yu.Zhang Chen thought it was a bit funny, but his base was too small, and now even such a young child wanted to eat him.

But Zhang Chen really didn't dare to laugh at others. This was Kyoto, and there were all kinds of princes. Let alone acquiring him as a mere happy twist, a small team of more than a dozen people was, to put it bluntly, nothing.

He wouldn't be surprised if someone could easily cough up 1000 million.

"This classmate." Zhang Chen shook his head, "Happy Twist is my hard work. It came to this world with a special mission. I like comedy. You know, movies have serious themes and comedies, but dramas only have serious themes. Don’t you think the subject matter is strange?”

"That's why I decided to build this Happy Twist team, with like-minded people who all like this area, and continue to work hard."

"So I won't sell this."

"Even if I really go bankrupt, I won't sell it." Zhang Chen smiled slightly.

Lin Yu was a little disappointed when he encountered such a nail that was neither soft nor hard, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. .I was just trying it out. If I could win it with full capital, that would be great.

But now it seems that the founders do have a certain understanding of their own value. It is really unrealistic to want to eat up others while they are still small.

"I will state my reasons."

"First, even if Happy Twist has a clear positioning, it is only operating in a small circle. You may not know whether you will go bankrupt. Second, Yu Kai and Tian Youliang may not have a very good relationship with you now. Long-term losses will make them There is no hope, so you have to give up now. There is already a problem with Happy Muggle's investor structure. You can either wait for this problem to collapse, or wait for external forces to help you solve it."

As soon as Lin Yu's calm words came out, the actors who had no idea about the inside story were all shocked. Zhang Chen's calm expression just now was completely gone.

There was even a trace of horror on his face.

How come this man even knows about his conflicts with Yu Kai and Tian Youliang? ?

How in-depth did he go in his investigation of Happy Twist? ?
"Third, I understand art. I am an actor, and now I am also the owner of a film and television company. My name is Lin Yu. The movies I starred in are Initial D and Infernal Affairs 2. The movie I shot is the Ghost Story 123 series. Also, a big movie is being edited and will be released soon.”

"So, please don't worry about amateurs guiding experts, misbehaving and ruining Happy Twist."

"So, Four, Boss Zhang, do you really want to talk to me about this here?" Lin Yu pointed to the surrounding team members who were stunned and happy.

……

Zhang Chen invited Lin Yu back to the office building. Of course, he bypassed the offices of Yu Kai and Tian Youliang and quietly brought Lin Yu back to the office.

"Sit." Zhang Chen lowered his voice and made Lin Yu a cup of tea.

While making tea, Zhang Chen's mind was full of thoughts.

Xiangjiang, the winner of the Little Actor Award and the star of two movies. Let’s not talk about the movies he directed and starred in. At least it proves that this person is an expert!

But it does not mean that he is an expert. If there are structural conflicts in his company, he must bring in this person!
Simply put, who is an investor?He is your future partner. Like you, he is the one who needs to influence your judgment on the future of the industry you are engaged in.

Therefore, it must be a like-minded person!

Yu Kai and Tian Youliang are at least his friends. Who are you, Lin Yu?

I introduced you, Lin Yu, today, but there will be conflicts tomorrow. Is there any difference?

So in some negotiations, the discussion is not just about the amount of investment, but about a like-minded person?
"Classmate Lin." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen finally slowly brewed a cup of tea, walked up to Lin Yu with a smile, and placed it in Lin Yu's hand, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​investing in dramas?"

"As far as I know, this area is very niche and unpopular."

"If we talk about the prospects of drama, I don't think there is much prospect." Sitting there, Lin Yu said calmly, "Go to the limit, head, that's all. I don't know how to make money from you."

Lin Yu said with bright eyes, and Zhang Chen was silent for a moment. What Lin Yu said was an objective fact. Even he himself was not very optimistic about the prospects of Happy Twist.

"So, my investment won't be much." Picking up the teacup in front of him, Lin Yu took a sip and rolled his Adam's apple.

"If I remember correctly, Yu Kai, Tian Youliang, and you invested a total of 30, that is, the two of them contributed [-], right."

"You have been operating at a loss until today. I think your value is doubled, that is, I think your value at this moment is 2. I plan to acquire the shares held by the two of them."

"I bought it for 40, but I am actually willing to invest 100 million, accounting for 80%, that is, in the end, I am 8 and you are 2."

Zhang Chen couldn't sit still for a moment. In his opinion, it was best to kick out those two people this time, but the remaining structure was 64, that is, 6 for him and 4 for Lin Yu.

In this way, he has absolute ownership of the company, and only uses one Lin Yu to replace two people who are alienated from him.

No matter what, he has 51% and Lin Yu 49%. He has to make the final decision in the company!
"No rush." ​​Lin Yu raised his hand, interrupting Zhang Chen's desire to speak, "I think the purpose of acquiring Happy Mahua is this. I will shoot some comedy movies in the future. When I need it, I will Borrowing members from Happy Twist, of course, I will pay a fee for Happy Twist and the actors each."

But how do you put this? According to the equity structure that Lin Yu wants to buy, it means that Lin Yu paid himself 80%. . .Deducting the fees taken by the actors is tantamount to borrowing money for nothing.

"In addition, I will not participate in all operations of Happy Mahua. I occupy 80%. From now on, I will not decide the development direction of any company. I will also bear all the company's losses."

"And you, occupying 20%, only need to consider the company's development prospects and get [-]% of the profits."

"I can describe this company like this... It is a company wholly owned by me. I bear all the risks. If you lose money, I will contribute 80% of the money, and you will contribute 20%."

"I only have veto power under certain circumstances. For the rest, I am just the investor of the company, and you are the sole person in charge who cannot be replaced."

"That's it. Can you accept this statement?"

Zhang Chen froze on the spot for an instant. He found that this Lin Yu was much more difficult to deal with than the others.

Lin Yu put forward an offer that he could not refuse.

From now on, he only needs to use his brain, and no longer need to worry about the issue of balance of payments, which is equivalent to giving up the company. In addition, in exchange for being able to experiment with his ideas boldly, regardless of losses!
"I have enough funds to allow you to lose up to 1000 million on Happy Twist."

"You can't find anyone with more money than me in the drama industry."

"But if you don't agree, I'll leave immediately. You can figure out a solution for Happy Ma Hua on your own!" Lin Yu's expression changed.
