Chapter 456 Tricks in the Contract

After the host finished reading the advertisement, the director announced a five-minute break before continuing.

The staff gave mineral water to the guests.

Lu Jianchuan took a sip of water, leaned closer and asked, "Is what you just said okay?"

Fang Xing gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's great. After the show is broadcast, Uncle Lu may even gain a group of fans."

"Hey! What do I want my fans to do? I just have something in my heart that I don't want to express." Lu Jianchuan has been depressed for a long time. This time he went on the show to express his thoughts.

After resting for five minutes, Gao Yun returned to the sofa and asked, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Fang, have you rested? Shall we continue?"

"Okay." Lu Jianchuan nodded seriously.

Gao Yun looked in the direction of the director and said he was ready.

Liu Wanyong, the director of "Oriental Finance", announced on the intercom: "Everyone is here, recording will start again."

Gao Yun saw the indicator light of the No. 1 host station turn on, looked at the camera and said: "Welcome back, the topic we just discussed was 'Contract Spirit and Contract Fraud'.

“Today’s guest, Mr. Lu Jianchuan, the chairman of Dachuan Audio, once had an investment contract that brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

“What is the reason that causes investment companies to suddenly withdraw their capital?

"Mr. Lu Jianchuan, do you understand the reasons for divestment of investment companies?"

Lu Jianchuan pondered for a moment, and his tone was uncertain: "I don't know the real reason, and the investment company did not give any reason for divestment. They only said that my company has no investment potential and must divest."

Gao Yun turned to Fang Xing and asked the same question: "Where is Director Fang? Do you know the reason why this investment company withdrew its capital?"

Fang Xing usually pondered for a long time and did not answer directly. Instead, he said: "Understanding is indeed understanding, but there is no evidence to prove it. Even if I say it, will the program be broadcast?"

Gao Yun explained with a smile: "Director Fang, "Oriental Finance" is not just an ordinary talk show, the program team will also conduct in-depth investigations to find the truth of the incident.

"So, you can provide clues. As for the evidence, the program team will send reporters to interview people familiar with the matter to restore the truth."

"Oriental Finance" will indeed send reporters to conduct overt and covert visits to dig up news.

The courage to pursue the truth is one of the reasons why this program has a good reputation.

Fang Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and replied: "Pengcheng Capital...can you just mention the name of this company?"

"It doesn't matter. Director Fang can say whatever he wants. If it involves issues such as privacy or sensitive topics, the program will be silenced and coded later," Gao Yun explained.

Fang Xing continued: "Since Willy Construction was mentioned in your interview, I'll tell you straight away.

“Pengcheng Capital once used the company ‘Willy Construction’ to bid for a project site in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park.

“The project value of this project land is as high as 1.5 to 2 billion.

“Therefore, for Pengcheng Capital, Weili Construction’s projects require a lot of capital.

“However, Pengcheng Capital suffered several consecutive investment failures, resulting in financial constraints.

“If we don’t make a lot of money quickly, we’re probably going to lose this big project at Willy Construction.

“Therefore, Pengcheng Capital wants to force Dachuan Audio into bankruptcy and liquidation by cutting off funds.

“Then acquire the good assets of Dachuan Audio, reorganize the assets, and then resell them.

"According to my understanding, if Pengcheng Capital's plan succeeds, it can make a profit of 100 million."

Gao Yun showed an expression of sudden realization and echoed: "That's it."

He turned to Lu Jianchuan again and asked, "Mr. Lu, is this the reason for this matter?"

Lu Jianchuan was silent for a moment and replied: "How should I put it? My guess about this matter is similar to Fang Xing's. However, after all, Dachuan Audio has not gone bankrupt, and the following things have not happened. It can only be a guess, so there is no evidence. It can prove whether Pengcheng Capital really wants to do this."

Gao Yun nodded and praised: "Mr. Lu is indeed very rigorous. Let's go back to the investment contract. Did Mr. Lu know that there was a problem with the investment contract at the beginning?"

Lu Jianchuan shook his head: "I don't know that there is a problem with the contract, how can I put it... In fact, there is no problem with the contract itself, but there is no clause about Party A's divestment in the contract.

“Later, I went to a lawyer to read the contract. If Party A had followed the investment process in the contract, the financing would have been completed smoothly.

"Lawyers have also said that this type of contract usually favors Party A and protects Party A's rights, but will have fewer restrictions on Party A.

“Since Pengcheng Capital is Party A, there is no restriction on Party A’s divestment in the contract.

“I was so happy about getting the investment at first that I ignored this. Moreover, if Pengcheng Capital wanted to invest in Dachuan Audio, it would require a large investment.

“If they withdraw their money midway, they will also lose money.

“Furthermore, to be on the safe side, that financing was not just from Pengcheng Capital, but received funds from two investment companies.

"It's just that I didn't expect that after Pengcheng Capital withdrew its capital, another investment company also terminated the investment contract on the grounds that Dachuan Audio was on the verge of bankruptcy."

Gao Yun then asked: "So, didn't you seek financial support from other places later?"

Lu Jianchuan then replied: "Looking, for half a year, I looked for all the people I could find, but I didn't get any financial help.

"I even mortgaged the fixed assets under my name, but the loan I obtained could only barely keep the company from bankruptcy and liquidation, and it was never possible to revitalize the company."

Gao Yun continued: "What happened next?"

"later……"

Lu Jianchuan looked at Fang Xing and said with emotion: "Later, my daughter collaborated with Fang Xing on a drama, which solved the funding problem."

Gao Yun took up the topic and said: "Some audience friends may not know that Mr. Lu's daughter is Miss Lu Xiang'er, a violinist who has brought glory to the country and won a gold medal in the Paganini International Violin Competition.

"Today, Miss Lu Xiang'er and Mother Lu also came to the show."

When the host speaks.

Two of the cameras are turned towards the audience seats.

Lu Xiang'er covered her mouth and smiled, waving to say hello to the camera.

Mother Lu covered her face with her hands and waved towards the camera with the other hand, indicating that she did not want to be photographed.

Gao Yun continued: "I believe many viewers know that the first TV series played by Miss Lu Xianger and Fang Xing was called "The Beginning".

"According to the information obtained by the program team, Miss Lu Xiang'er made a sum of money from investing in "The Beginning", and Dachuan Audio relied on this money to tide over the difficulties.

"What's interesting is that at that time, "The Beginning" was broadcast at the same time as "Pillow Crime," a drama invested by this capital company.

“As a result, many people know that this capital company suffered another loss due to “Pillow Sin”.

"Not only that, but later "The Pretender" and "The Invisible Spy", "Hurry" and "Operation Dark Wind", and now "Nirvana in Fire" and "Warm Spring Nights in the Lotus Tent".

“Every TV series produced by Ark Culture will collide with the TV series invested by this capital company.

"I would like to ask Director Fang, for what purpose did you deliberately target this capital company?"

Fang Xing answered calmly: "Actually, it's not that specific. It just happens that I want to film a drama, and it happens to be broadcast at the same time as those dramas, so let's fight against unscrupulous capital."

After the content of the interview is almost complete.

Gao Yun began to make the final summary: "After listening to Mr. Lu and Mr. Fang's stories, we realized the ugly face of an unscrupulous capital company.

“According to the interviews of our reporters, we also discovered some deeper information, which also allowed our reporters to see the uglier side behind time.

“The guest mentioned a company called ‘Willy Construction’ in the interview.

“In order to find out the truth, our reporters went to look for this company.

“But when the reporter came to the registered address of ‘Willy Construction’, the place was already empty.

“According to insiders, this ‘Willy Construction’ is a company with formal construction qualifications.

“Why did such a legal and compliant company disappear overnight?

"In order to seek the truth, our reporter visited the leaders of Ningyun District and got a thought-provoking answer.

“This company named ‘Willy Construction Engineering’ had irregularities in the approval process for applying for land for the Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park project.

“That’s why Willy’s Construction was empty out overnight.

“However, who is the person behind ‘Willie Construction’?

"Is it related to the capital company mentioned in the show? When the show was broadcast, there was no answer. We could only wait for the law to tell the public the truth.

"The above is the entire content of this issue. I am the host Gao Yun. Thank you for watching."

Fang Xing listened to the host's concluding remarks and discovered a lot of information.

"Oriental Finance" highlighted "Willy Construction" and also mentioned that this company had violated regulations in the process of declaring project land.

However, Hu Yuhai, the head of Ningyun District, was not mentioned.

Obviously, Hu Yuhai’s matter is not something that Donghai TV should report.

But Donghai TV dares to report on "Willy Construction", which speaks volumes.

Donghai Satellite TV's interviews were also very clever, skipping over people and things that shouldn't be mentioned, but making the interviews intriguing.

To sum up, this interview fits the theme of "Spirit of Contract and Contract Fraud".

at the same time.

"Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" was moved to noon time by Jiangnan Satellite TV, and was completely nailed to the wall of bad movies.

Online playback volume also began to plummet.

The major video platforms are very fortunate to have signed an advertising account-sharing contract with Hanlin Media, and there is no guarantee.

The advertising account sharing contract is based on the profit ratio. The more the video platform makes, the more it will be distributed to Hanlin Media.

If the video platform makes less money, less will be distributed to Hanlin Media.

In other words, no matter how bad the show is, the video platform will only make less money at most and will not lose too much.

Of course, the video platform has provided promotional resources for "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent". If these promotional resources are considered money, it will definitely be a loss, but the revenue will make up for most of it, and the overall loss will not be too much.

However, the investors of "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" are different.

150 million was invested in this drama, which is real money.

"A Warm Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent" was a complete flop and it was difficult to recover the investment.

More importantly, the commercials for "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" were not sold.

Chen Wenhan has full confidence in this drama.

However, the TV stations that participated in the viewing party all believed that this drama was not as good as "Nirvana in Fire".

Advertisers and brand owners are well-informed, and they all know that major TV stations are competing for "Nirvana in Fire", but they are not interested in "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

Therefore, advertisers and brands offer very low advertising prices for the "Spring Night in a Warm House".

The price of an episode is 500,000.

Chen Wenhan looked down on this price. After all, the third season of "Hurry Up" sold an episode of 5.2 million for a sky-high price.

Advertisers now only offer an episode price of 500,000 yuan for "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

The difference between the two is 10 times. Chen Wenhan couldn't bear the price of 500,000 per episode, so he decided to auction the commercials at a high price after the show became popular.

However, the ratings of "Spring Night in the Furong Tent" fell below the bottom line that Jiangnan Satellite TV could bear, and it was finally broadcast in the noon time slot.

Under such circumstances, even if advertisers are out of their minds, it is impossible to buy interstitial ads for this drama.

Liu Shijie negotiated with advertisers everywhere, hoping to sell commercials for 500,000 yuan per episode.

However, advertisers no longer accept the price of 500,000 per episode, and even if it reaches 300,000 per episode, there is no reason for the manufacturer to advertise.

At every working meeting of Hanlin Media, the calculated revenue of "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" is getting less and less.

It is no longer possible to get back the money.

Chen Wenhan would get furious every time he heard the revenue report.

His personal phone number was bombarded by investors every day and turned off.

It’s noon this day.

He came out of Hanlin Media Headquarters, went down to the basement, opened the door of the sports car, and was about to get in the car.

At this moment.

Two bodyguards in black suits appeared and blocked the car door.

Chen Wenhan's eyes sharpened and he asked warily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Mr. Chen, don't be so nervous. Mr. Feng wants to ask you to meet and talk." The two bodyguards directly picked up Chen Wenhan and walked towards the black car at the other end.

"What are you doing!" Chen Wenhan struggled hard, but couldn't break free at all.

Until they arrived in front of the black car, the back seat window rolled down, revealing Feng Yunbin's face.

When Chen Wenhan saw Feng Yunbin, he became less nervous. He shook off the bodyguard's hand, straightened his shirt, and asked, "Feng Yunbin, what do you want to do?"

Feng Yunbin waved to him and said, "Come up and tell me."

The bodyguard opened the car door.

Chen Wenhan was not afraid of him at all and got into the car: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Feng Yunbin showed a faint smile on his lips and said, "I don't want to be so rude, but Mr. Chen is too arrogant and didn't answer the phone after so many calls, so I had no choice but to take this step."

Chen Wenhan snorted coldly: "I'm very busy and don't have time to waste time with you."

Feng Yunbin chuckled and said, "I'm busy too, but there are some things that I still have to discuss with Mr. Chen in person."

"If you have something to say, just tell me and get out of here." Chen Wenhan's attitude was still arrogant because he still had Feng Yunbin's "handle" in his hand.

Feng Yunbin took out a document bag, took out a contract from it, handed it over and said, "Read it yourself."

Chen Wenhan took the contract and glanced at it. It was an investment contract for "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

When he saw this contract, he opened it without interest and said, "What's wrong with this contract? Just let it go."

Feng Yunbin reminded: "Item 6 on page 3, read it yourself."

Chen Wenhan turned to the third page, found the sixth item, and read out the above content: "Party B promises that the TV series "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" invested by Party A will make a profit, after excluding the investment principal, it will not be less than the investment principal. 10%.”

Feng Yunbin twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Can you see clearly?"

Chen Wenhan frowned. He simply forgot that there was such a clause in the contract.

In fact.

When signing the contract, Pengcheng Capital's legal staff reminded him of this clause.

This is actually a guarantee clause, which means that no matter how much profit "Warm Spring Night in Furong Tent" makes, Dingsheng Capital invested 50 million and must eventually get back 55 million.

Chen Wenhan has indeed heard legal reminders about this clause, but for a capital company, 10% profit is actually not high.

Chen Wenhan doesn't care about this 10% profit at all. What he wants is to double or even multiply the profit several times.

So he didn't care about this clause at all.

Pengcheng Capital's legal staff was also responsible for their duties, and they proposed to Dingsheng Capital to modify this contract clause.

However, Feng Yunbin refused and laughed at Chen Wenhan: "If you can't even reach 10% profit, why do you want to make a drama?"

Chen Wenhan glared at the legal officer and signed the contract.

Now that "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" has completely hit the market, and can't even recover the cost, this contract clause will naturally come into effect.
