Back To 2005

"I want to make a costume drama."

Wang Jing has already had an idea about this.

The three TV series he previously directed, Love 1, Love 2, and Stars, were all urban dramas. Wang Jing needed to find a breakthrough in costume dramas.

The best thing is that the company has increased investment and allowed him to complete a large-scale costume drama using filmmaking techniques.

If he has experience in shooting costume blockbusters, he will definitely make great progress in film shooting, and Wang Jing can enter the big screen again and establish himself as a great director.

"Costume drama?"

After hearing the other party's request, "Huan Huan Zhuan", "Gong" and "Wu Zetian" immediately flashed in Zhou Anan's mind.

For Zhou Anan, an otaku who only accompanied his girls to catch up on popular dramas in his previous life, the costume dramas that he can remember are basically guaranteed to have ratings.

However, after Zhou Anan turned around in his mind, he still felt that there was a drama that was most suitable for Director Wang who was looking for a breakthrough.

Of course, Zhou Anan was not sure whether the copyright of the drama was still there and whether the original book had been published, so he gave a basic answer: "Okay, I will let someone select a few scripts and create a big costume drama for Director Wang." .”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Upon receiving the reply from the big boss, Wang Jin was heartbroken and raised her glass gratefully.

After separating from Director Wang, Zhou Anan called the beautiful secretary and gave some instructions.

After finishing the third matter of the day, it was still very early before the scheduled dinner. Zhou Anan moved forward the follow-up work and went to the headquarters of Qinglan Company.

Seeing Wang Rong again, Zhou Anan found that the other person's face looked a little haggard, but his energy was still good, so he let go of his unnecessary worries.

Men, with a career, any love injury can be healed.

Qinglan held a meeting with all shareholders today, and the two eldest ladies were also present.

This meeting mainly discussed Qinglan’s plan for the next six months.

In fact, there is no nutritious topic, it just reflects the will of Zhou Anan, the major shareholder.

"Let's take out a loan and we can slow down a little bit next year."

After listening to the reports of General Manager Wang and Vice President Gu, Zhou Anan gave the same suggestions as the last meeting.

Qinglan's direct-operated stores, Gangji Tea, and First Chicken Steaks all have considerable profits from the operation of the three brands, but Qinglan cannot stop spending money to buy stores and build directly-operated stores.

Qinglan's direct-operated stores have expanded to 140, of which 135 stores were purchased directly by the company. Most of them are located in the city center, and the capital spent has exceeded 200 million.

Last month and the first half of this month alone, the cost of buying a store exceeded 30 million.

Today, the company still owes a loan of 10 million yuan to the bank, but apart from daily expenses, there is no extra money in the company's account to expand its directly-operated stores.

The conservative and prudent Vice President Gu reiterated his old tune and wanted to slow down the pace of store purchases. He proposed that the expansion should be based on leasing for the time being, with purchases as a supplement.

Unfortunately, under the strong pressure of the major shareholder Zhou Anan and the tacit support of the other shareholders, the meeting still passed a large loan to accelerate the purchase of the store.

For Vice President Gu, it feels very uncomfortable to see high-quality company assets begin to turn into negative assets.

For Zhou Anan, every time he came to Qinglan for a meeting, he had to suppress Vice President Gu's prudent style, which was very tiring.

However, as long as he lasts until next year, he doesn't have to worry too much.

"An'an, do you have a party tonight?"

When the meeting was over, Yu Xian'er, who had not expressed any opinions during the whole process, asked for no reason.

"Yes, let's have dinner with Mr. Mai from TX and the heads of several financing companies."

Zhou Anan answered this question simply.

Both of them are shareholders of the celebrity network, and there is no need to hide this itinerary, which is not a commercial secret.

However, those reporters really want to dig out inside information, and there are many reporters lurking around the celebrity network company.

Fortunately, Zhou Anan is very low-key, and most of his attention is focused on Qi Liang, the CEO who is responsible for daily management.

In China, one should keep a low profile when making a fortune.

"It just so happens that I have something to do tonight and Xiaoxiao has nowhere to go. Xiaoxiao and Mr. Mai are familiar with each other, so just ask her to accompany you."

Concerning this matter, Yu Xianer naturally arranged for his best friends.

Wang Xiaoxiao, who was thinking about what to have for dinner, widened his eyes a little when he heard his friend's arrangement, but did not refute.

If a few big bosses eat together, they should, maybe, probably have a good meal.

It just so happened that after dinner, she could go shopping with the humanoid movable clothes hanger. She had already thought of the reasons.

"OK."

After glancing at Miss Wang who was watching over her, Zhou Anan agreed indifferently.

Seeing that Xiaodi An agreed, Yu Xian'er left her best friend who couldn't drive and left first.

Compared with his relatively leisurely girlfriends, Yu Xianer's time has been fully arranged since he took over part of the family business.

"An'an, where are you going to have dinner?"

Wang Xiaoxiao asked as he got into the car and fastened his seat belt.

"Toho Hotel."

After thinking about the beautiful secretary's previous report, Zhou An'an told her where the dinner would be.

Originally, Zhou Anan wanted to stay at the Anbian Teahouse. After all, Mr. Mai also liked the refreshments there.

However, considering that the persons in charge of the other two large companies were not familiar with each other, Zhou Anan still listened to the advice of professionals to show his dignity, and settled in the Dongbao Hotel and booked a set meal for 99,999.

Whether it was in his previous life or this life, Zhou Anan had never had dinner with a table of tens of thousands, let alone a set meal of 99,999, so he was a little looking forward to it.

"Dongbao Hotel, I heard the buffet there is good."

"We'll eat in the private room."

"Oh (second tone)."

"It seems that the seafood dinner was ordered for 99,999."

"Oh (fourth tone)."

After chatting along the way, the car quickly entered the underground parking lot of Dongbao Hotel.

It was still 4:50, still some time before the agreed 5:30. In order to show respect, Zhou Anan still needed to arrive early.

In terms of size, whether it is TX, Excalibur Capital, Qiandu, or Hard Silver, they are all the big brothers of the celebrity network. They hold tens of billions of real funds, dominate the capital market, and have a great reputation.

Relatively speaking, celebrity networks with only virtual valuations can only be regarded as newcomers to this industry.

"No one's here."

After entering the private room, he found that no one else was there except the waiter standing next to him. Wang Xiaoxiao took a look at the cold dishes on the table.

Ten kinds of cold dishes with unique shapes are very appetizing.

"Another serving of duck tongue and cucumber, and a serving of freshly squeezed orange juice."

Worried that Miss Wang would be bored, Zhou Anan, who also had a little appetite, said something to the waiter on the side.

After a while, sitting on the sofa area waiting for guests, Wang Xiaoxiao ate the extra cold dishes with a little reserve, paired with freshly squeezed juice, which seemed to taste pretty good.

Zhou Anan, on the other hand, sat quietly aside, drinking boiled water and taking a breath.

Although he brushed his teeth specially before coming here and ate two pieces of chewing gum worth one dollar and a half, he still needed a little more respect when facing several big guys in the financial world.

Perhaps in order to show the importance of the celebrity network, at around 5:20, the beautiful secretary took the four company leaders into the box in a slightly busy manner.

The representative of TX is naturally Mr. Mai, who is already quite familiar with him and has an interest in it. Excalibur Capital, who has a European and American background, is attending a pretty blond girl in her thirties, and the person in charge of Hard Silver Capital is a slightly mature person. A middle-aged Asian man, the Qiandu representative is an ordinary young woman wearing a formal work skirt.

Zhou Anan's eyes lingered slightly on the blond girl who was in the mature age. Most of the time, under the coordination of Mr. Mai, she had a pleasant conversation with everyone present.

Except for Zhou Anan, all other company representatives are the same person.

Miss Wang holds a hidden shareholding, and Zhou Anan did not introduce her identity as a shareholder. He only said that she was a person in charge of the company. No one would care about this detail. Tonight's banquet did not involve any secret content.

What's more, companies that can enter the final A-round financing are not fools.

There is actually no "nutrition" in eating with several companies. It is nothing more than chatting and increasing mutual familiarity.

When it comes to formal cooperation with the company, it is the responsibility of a dedicated department team and will not be discussed over the wine table.

This kind of banquet has little effect, but it is indispensable in shopping malls.

After all, China is a humanistic society, and the other foreign companies have to follow the local customs.

Of course, if there are opportunities for cooperation between various companies, everyone can also set a tone.

For example, when the person in charge of SoftBank and the person in charge of Qiandu were chatting, they made a cooperation intention that could reach hundreds of millions.

"Isn't it boring?"

Seeing Miss Wang put down her chopsticks, Zhou Anan asked with concern.

Although this kind of banquet is not something he likes, Zhou Anan, who has just entered this level, still gained a lot of knowledge during the banquet.

However, Miss Wang, who rarely spoke, had little to talk about with everyone. Zhou Anan was really afraid that she would be in a bad mood and lose her appetite.

"No, I just drank too much turtle soup just now. It's okay, you can talk about your business and leave me alone."

Wang Xiaoxiao answered this question very naturally.
