Back To 2005

"Haha, Niu Niu. I'll treat you to today's lunch."

Smashing the five cards in his hand onto the table, Feng Jiming calmly picked up the coffee and took a sip.

With this card alone, he will not be the smallest among the three.

"I'm sorry, K is the word Niu Niu. I'm a little older than you."

Slowly placing the cards in his hand on the table, Li Shucheng's voice seemed very calm.

"Oh, he's a little older than you, King Niu Niu."

Seeing the last card, Zhou Anan calmly put down the five cards, feeling sincerely grateful that he could save several thousand yuan at noon.

In MMP, the two opponents directly opened Niu Niu, making him big. Fortunately, the last big king came at a good time, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.

"Who dealt this card?"

Staring at the smallest J-shaped Niu Niu in front of him, the unbelievable Feng Jiming had an urge to beat him.

But seeing the eyes of the two shareholders looking at him, and remembering the cards he was dealt earlier, Feng Jiming said angrily: "How about we make it simple and go to the canteen downstairs to try and experience the food of the employees???? ?”

In the end, Feng Jiming, who failed to deny, took the two shareholders to a newly opened seafood restaurant and had a lunch with a budget of more than 8,000 yuan.

"How is the progress of your cartoon?"

While eating fruit after dinner, Zhou Anan asked about the production progress of Huaman animation.

After all, an animated film and an animated series currently being produced by Huaman Film and Television were both proposed by Zhou Anan, so they must be concerned about it.

"The first episode of "The Legend of the Great Sage" has been produced, and it still needs to be processed later. Do you really think there will be a market for this magically modified Journey to the West?"

After watching the finished film of the first episode of Journey to the West, Li Shucheng did feel that the rhythm was very exciting, and it also had some profound meanings that younger animations did not have, but it is not clear whether the current audience can accept such adult animations.

Purchasing the film and television adaptation rights of "Wukong" did not cost much money, but the effort required to adapt it into animation was much more than that of ordinary cartoons. The cost of the first episode alone was at least one million. .

Of course, once the technicians become proficient, the cost will gradually come down.

Nowadays, the most popular cartoons on TV are cartoons for young people. Li Shucheng does not have much confidence in adult cartoons like "The Legend of the Great Sage" that are thoughtful and rhythmic.

On the contrary, the film "The Return of the Great Sage" produced at the same time has depth, family affection, growth and inspiration, and is suitable for all ages.

Although the budget of "The Return of the Monkey King" is 20 million, it is considered by the executives of Huaman Film and Television to be a masterpiece that can guarantee the cost, so there is no need to worry too much about the box office after the release.

Well, there are only three senior executives of Huaman Film and Television, namely his girlfriend and a newly appointed vice president, plus Li Shucheng himself who is not working.

"Just in time, the video website we cooperate with TX will be launched soon, so we will put the first few episodes of "The Legend of the Great Sage" on it to test the waters and see if any TV stations will buy it."

Zhou Anan doesn't have much confidence in this tentative work.

But in the next few years, animation has gradually become more adult-oriented, which is a constant trend.

What's more, even if "The Legend of the Great Sage" suffers a loss, "The Return of the Great Sage" alone can earn back several times the cost.

The failure of the animation series should be used as a training ground for the company's technical staff to lay the foundation for future success.

"You weren't planning to sell directly to the TV station from the beginning?"

After listening to Zhou An'an's suggestion, Li Shucheng thought for two seconds and asked in slight surprise.

If Huaman Films and Television produced "The Legend of the Great Sage" with the idea of ​​first broadcasting it on a video website, then this layout would be a bit far-reaching.

At that time, there was no sign of the formalization of online copyrights, and it was just in the stage of catching the wind.

"We can get copyright fees for our good voices, so why can't animation take this route? Today's TV stations are willing to buy adult animation, but they won't pay too high a price. Only when online broadcasts become popular can they attract more viewers. The buyer will get a higher price. However, I did not expect that the formalization process of online copyright would be so fast, so I added some insurance to this plan."

Knowing Li Shucheng's surprise, Zhou Anan explained briefly.

To be honest, the progress of online copyright formalization was indeed beyond his expectation.

In this regard, Zhou Anan was afraid that this incident would cause a series of chain reactions and change the future he knew well, and the loss would be huge.

"Ah Cheng, don't be deceived by Brother An's seemingly loyal appearance, otherwise you won't know how you lost."

After clapping his hands, Feng Jiming meaningfully squeezed out the major shareholders.

He still felt a little resentful about the previous card game.

Of course, he would never feel unhappy because of the good relationship between many female artists in the company and the major shareholder.

After all, there are many girls he likes.

But compared with the beauties of the major shareholders, alas, I can't compare, I can't compare, the gap in strength is too big.

"Brother Feng, I feel like you have a lot of opinions on me recently."

After hearing General Manager Feng's strange words, Zhou Anan raised his eyebrows and asked a question.

"How dare you? I'm worried about the more than 20 million I invested in you. I wonder if I've made any money now?"

Feng Jiming, who was a bit fat, immediately changed his smile to a harmless one, and immediately found an excuse, with a Maitreya-like approachability on his face.

"I didn't ask much about this. I should have made money."

Seeing Feng Jiming mention the huge bet in Hong Kong City, Zhou Anan suddenly felt that he was a little big-hearted.

Except for the first two simple communications, Zhou Anan didn't ask much about the progress of the talented female trader.

The other party did not take the initiative to contact him, so the stock price of Huagang Newspaper Company should not have dropped below 9 yuan.

As for making money or not, open the website and see how the stock market is wailing. The Hang Seng Index has been falling continuously. Zhou Anan knows that the billion he borrowed will not be lost.

"Why, have you invested in the stock market?"

Li Shucheng, who was sitting there listening, asked speculatively.

Entering the stock market at this time is not fun.

"Didn't I tell you last time about the bet between our major shareholder and that young master of the Yun family? I spent all my money to go short with Brother An."

Speaking of this, Feng Jiming admires the vision of major shareholders.

At that time, the economic crisis in North America did not affect Asia, and the Hong Kong stock market continued to rise.

Who would have thought that just a few days after the major shareholder made a tens-billion bet with that Mr. Yun, the entire Hong Kong stock market fell into mourning.

Even Feng Jiming, who rarely pays attention to the stock market, knows that the current stock market is a paradise for short sellers, and he doesn't know how much money he can make.

"Don't you call me for this kind of thing?"

Recalling Feng Jiming's brief mention, Li Shucheng looked down upon the two shareholders with great interest.

Although he is not short of money, his girlfriend's company is short of money.

The tens of millions he had previously taken back from the North American stock market had been invested in Huaman Film and Television, and he could barely retain the investment rights of 70% of the shares.

Nowadays, as Huaman Film and Television's animations are accelerating the research and development progress, funds are constantly being consumed, and it is a time when they are short of money.

"It's better not to take someone with a family like you where you could lose everything if you're not careful."

After taking a sip of tea, Feng Jiming smiled and joked.

"If Brother Li is short of money, I might go to the North American stock market early next year to have a look. If I'm interested, I can invest a little bit."

Thinking of the previous agreement with the exotic beauty, Zhou Anan didn't mind taking the lead.

After all, taking advantage of the economic crisis to make money from North American capitalists is a rare opportunity in many years.

If you miss this time, you will have to wait more than ten years for the next time.

"What, are you ready to attack Lao Mei?"

After hearing what the major shareholder said, Feng Jiming asked enthusiastically.

Making money from compatriots in Hong Kong is not as comfortable as making money from Americans.

"With this plan, everything will have to wait until the end of the port city."

Zhou Anan didn't fully explain this matter.

He is also not sure whether he can bring the stock price of Huagang Newspaper to below 9 yuan.

Without the help of Excalibur Capital, Zhou Anan knew a little bit about the trend of the North American stock market crash, and would not have dared to go into that muddy water alone.

"Then you must call me."

"Well, I'll let you know when I decide."

"I'm telling you, if you secretly hide this from me and make money from the Americans, I'll break up with you."

"."

After parting with the two uninterested shareholders, Zhou Anan, who had nothing to do, looked at the new mobile phone he bought two days ago.

After the Gusu group was pulled by Miss Wang for a while, Zhou Anan bought a five-star mobile phone that was exactly the same as the one he usually used, and transferred all the photos related to Miss Wang to the new mobile phone. As a person from Hangzhou, Side backup machine.

Under normal circumstances, this spare machine will be placed in the box in front of the passenger seat of the Phaeton.

"I'm free tonight, see you at the bar."

After seeing several text messages sent by a girl with a fat baby, Zhou Anan replied.
