Chapter 248: Acquisition of Zhouyi, Huayi Listing
At the celebration banquet of "Time and Space Cruise", Lin Nan met Jiang Xingrou for the first time.
At that time, he had the idea of taking over Zhou Yi.
Up to now, more than three years have passed.
A few days ago, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to contact Jiang Xingrou for the last time...
Today, there was a reply from the other side.
"How is it?" Lin Nan asked Yue Jun as he walked into the office.
"She invited us to go to Zhou Yi."
Yue Jun's face showed no expression.
"Still delaying?" Lin Nan frowned slightly.
"No, Jiang Xingrou said that she hopes we will go to see Zhou Yi Company and then have a face-to-face interview.
Whether it succeeds or not, she will definitely give us an accurate answer."
Hearing this, Lin Nan understood.
"Haha, the last bargain! Then bring a few professional employees and we will go together..."
"Well, I'll go book the tickets now."
Lin Nan told Liu Yifei that he was going on a business trip, so that she wouldn't call again in the evening when she couldn't see him.
Lin Nan and Yue Jun appeared at the airport with a few people, which was quite eye-catching for reporters.
But they just couldn't guess what Lin Nan and others were going to do, so they could only issue a press release directly.
"Director Lin Nan and his team boarded the plane, the destination is unknown..."
...
At about 3 pm, the team landed in Coconut City.
The weather was much hotter than the capital.
Lin Nan's thoughts unconsciously drifted to the time in 2005.
That time, he came here to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards with "Hidden in the Dust" and to start filming "Time and Space Cruise".
As a result, at the awards ceremony, he was confused and carried a sedan chair for others.
But it was also that time that Liu Yifei took the first step boldly.
The girl sneaked over from Hollywood in advance to visit him, which made Liu Xiaoli angry.
"Director Lin, what are you laughing at?"
Yue Jun asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, I thought of some unforgettable things." Lin Nan couldn't help but smile.
Although Zhou Yi's financial situation is not good now, there is still a car to pick him up at the airport.
"Director Lin, Director Yue, shall we go back to the company?"
The people from Zhou Yi's company who came to pick him up were cautious.
Not only because Lin Nan is a rare big director in the industry, but also because the future boss of the company is likely to be him.
Nervous, excited!
"Okay, let's go."
Several cars sped on the highway, heading all the way to Zhouyi headquarters.
At this time, except for the contracted actors and the people in the "Peacock Feather" crew, all other employees of Zhouyi Company were there.
"It's really impatient." Jiang Xingrou sighed.
She just replied to Yue Jun in the morning, and he arrived in the afternoon.
Jiang Xingrou walked around the various departments of the company.
It has been more than ten years, and many people have been in Zhouyi since they entered the industry. She is reluctant to leave.
But, what can she do if she is reluctant.
Selling to Lin Nan may be the best ending. At least everyone can still work in this industry.
"Mr. Jiang, is our company really going to sell to Lin Nan Pictures?"
The head of the screenwriter department asked. He asked on behalf of all screenwriters.
Jiang Xingrou smiled helplessly.
"Well, when they come, we'll talk about this. Maybe we can still work together, but don't call me Mr. Jiang in the future..."
Everyone knows that the company has been getting worse and worse over the years, and it's just struggling. Now it can't hold on any longer.
"Mr. Jiang, Director Lin and the others will be here soon."
An administrator received a call and ran over to report.
In an instant, the surroundings became quiet, and even breathing could be heard.
"Well, I know."
…………
Lin Nan has arrived.
I heard that Zhouyi's office location has not changed for so many years.
There are many smaller film and television media companies in this area, and someone recognized Lin Nan.
"Director Lin Nan! Why is he here?"
Until Jiang Xingrou appeared, many people realized that Lin Nan came to Zhouyi.
"Director Lin, Director Yue, welcome. Please follow me into the company."
"Mr. Jiang, please."
……
The news that Lin Nan appeared in Zhouyi was posted on Weibo and quickly spread.
Jiang Xingrou took Lin Nan and his group to visit the company.
Zhouyi is quite big, not only in terms of office location, but also in terms of age and qualifications.
Lin Nan saw Zhouyi's achievements over the years in the work showroom.
Starting from "Qinghe Juelian", "Wulin Waishi", "Li Wei Dangguan", "Young King", "Xiao Shiyilang", "Shuiyuedongtian"...
"Director Lin, let's go to the conference room?"
"Listen to President Jiang."
Lin Nan was very curious, why did he only see Jiang Xirou today, where is her husband?
In the conference room, in front of the long table, on one side were Lin Nan and his group, and on the other side were Jiang Xirou and Zhouyi's financial director.
Lin Nan originally thought that the interview would be a long bargaining, but it turned out to be completely different. Zhouyi really couldn't hold on.
And what surprised him was that the financial situation was so bad, but he was still forcing himself to shoot "Kongqueling".
……
……
The outside world is very lively at this time.
Everyone in the circle knew that Lin Nan took Yue Jun to Zhouyi, and various speculations appeared on the Internet.
"Are there any projects to cooperate on?"
"Did Director Lin Nan agree to invest?"
...
Cai Yinong also saw the news. She knew how glorious Zhou Yi was in the past.
That is a company that can calm down and produce good dramas...
"How could a big company with a big director invest in the dying Zhou Yi? What a joke..."
Cai Yinong laughed, and suddenly, she thought of another possibility.
"No way?"
…
Lin Nan and Yue Jun listened to Jiang Yuerou's "offer".
"Assume all Zhou Yi's debts."
"Support the successful completion of "Peacock Feather"."
"Accept all the employees of Zhouyi. I know that Director Lin is interested in the departments of screenwriting, lighting, and photography."
"Give me some money..."
…
Jiang Yuerou said a lot in bits and pieces.
When she looked at Lin Nan with questioning eyes, the latter seemed very indifferent.
"I agree to all these conditions, and I will be my own person from now on. I will treat all the employees of the company to a meal tonight..."
In Lin Nan's view, the most valuable people in Zhouyi are those people, and there are still a small number of copyrights left in their hands.
Jiang Yuerou showed a relaxed expression, letting go, it was really relaxing.
"From now on, I will concentrate on working for Director Lin."
"Haha, you're welcome."
…
In the evening, Yue Jun booked a star hotel and hosted a banquet for everyone in Zhouyi.
After a while, there will be no more Zhouyi.
Lin Nan, Yue Jun, Jiang Yanrou, and several Zhouyi executives sat at the same table.
He finally knew why he didn't see Jiang Yuerou's husband today.
Not everyone has dreams, and not everyone can persevere.
The extra money Jiang Yuerou asked for was the divorce signing fee. The man no longer wanted to do this business, and both of them had problems and they went their separate ways.
The next day, Jiang Yuerou personally sent Lin Nan and his party to the airport.
"Director Lin, we will clean up as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll hold a reception banquet for you when the time comes."
——
Came yesterday and went back today.
Lin Nan's mood was completely different.
When the group of people exited the Capital Airport, they were instantly surrounded by reporters squatting on guard.
"Director Lin, are you going to Zhouyi to discuss cooperation?"
"Are you going to collaborate on a TV series or a movie?"
"We have discussed cooperation, and everyone will know in a few days."
Without saying much, a few people quickly got into the car.
Back at the company, Lin Nan ordered Yue Jun to disperse Zhou Yi's people when the time came.
"Establish a new screenwriting department and production department, and let Jiang Yuerou be the director of the production department."
"Well, I'll make arrangements later."
Lin Nan has basically bought "Peacock Feathers". If possible, he will support filming all of "Seven Weapons".
…………
Three days later, Jiang Yuerou was the first to report to the company, followed closely by all the former Zhouyi people.
However, from now on they will all be from Lin Nan Pictures, not Zhou Yi anymore.
Yue Junyong Company’s official Weibo posted two messages.
"Welcome Ms. Jiang Yuerou to join Lin Nan Pictures as the director of the production department."
"Welcome colleagues from the former Zhouyi to join Lin Nan Pictures..."
After these two pieces of news were released, the film and television industry was shocked.
Zhouyi, which had existed for more than ten years, was swallowed up by Lin Nan!
"This time, he has completely made up for the shortcomings of the TV series..."
Many film and television companies are aware of this problem.
Lin Nan Pictures has grown to this point without knowing it!
Congratulatory messages kept coming.
Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and others even called directly.
"You always do big things quietly, but at critical moments you scare people!"
"Haha, Mr. Han is joking. It takes too much time to develop on your own. This should be faster..."
…
Cai Yinong didn't expect that he guessed correctly.
Lin Nan, who swallowed the Book of Changes, will most likely never cooperate with the Tang Dynasty again.
Now there is only one investment relationship left for a TV series.
Just as the industry was fiercely discussing Lin Nan's acquisition of Zhou Yi, another bigger news came.
Huayi was successfully listed on the GEM!
The first mainland film and television entertainment company listed on the local GEM was born.
The Wang brothers successfully ate crabs!
The issue price was 28.58 yuan, and the stock price soared to a maximum of 91 yuan on the day of listing...
Huayi originally planned to raise 700 million by issuing additional shares through its listing, but actually received several times the amount.
For a time, China Film, Shanghai Film, Bona, Ray...
The eyes of these groups or companies that have long been planning to go public are all red.
Like a shot of chicken blood, insiders once again pulled out the list of shareholders previously announced by Huayi.
Calculated based on the highest stock price on the day.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, and Huang Xiaoming are all worth hundreds of millions, Zhou Xun is worth over 90 million, and Ren Quan, Li Bingbing, etc. are all worth over 30 million.
Although these stocks cannot be traded within a year and their stock prices will fluctuate, this does not affect their current value at all.
A lot of eyes were turned to Lin Nan again, just because he had eight million shares!
700 million!
…
"Lin Nan, you are so awesome, hee hee..."
Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's neck and kissed her hard. She was so excited that she didn't notice Liu Xiaoli in the distance at all.
"Okay, okay, Auntie is watching."
Lin Nan said softly, and Liu Yifei instantly let go of her hand and glanced in the direction of Liu's mother, her cheeks were red and she was very cute...
At this time, the phone vibrated.
The caller ID showed Zhou Xun.
"Brother Xun, you must be here to thank me."
Lin Nan said with a smile. In front of Liu Yifei, she turned on the hands-free mode.
A heroic laugh came from the phone, "Lin Nan, I love you so much, haha..."
