I'm going to become a giant in the entertainment industry

After finishing the closing banquet, Mr. Yang left the restaurant and returned home in a daze.

Click...

He took out a bottle of ice-cold happy water from the refrigerator, but the stimulation of the cold bubbles and the sweet and sour taste still couldn't bring a trace of happiness.

This quarter has just begun, and Kuaiguang Group's finances have encountered unprecedented major challenges.

【Artist Training System 2.0】

[The company's profit and loss status this quarter: Profit 23617521.34. The current profit situation is stable and healthy. However, the system noticed that the host placed too much emphasis on short-term profits and ignored the fact that the return period of some projects far exceeded the first quarter. All investments were too conservative, and there was an error. Mental imbalance]

[In order to encourage the host to adjust this unhealthy mentality, the system will launch a loss consolation bonus. If the company falls into a loss this quarter, the system will issue an additional 300,000 bonus to the host account, and at the same time issue double subsidies to the company]

[Please host not to give up some promising projects because of risk issues]

When Mr. Yang saw this figure, he almost vomited blood due to the huge financial pressure.

At first glance, this number shows that the e-sports club’s sponsors have made enough money!

Coupled with other miscellaneous income including live streaming and offline peripherals, the company did not even get through the first week of the first quarter, and the company fell into a huge dilemma.

Fortunately, the expenses of e-sports clubs themselves are also huge, otherwise this number would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the system gave him enough reaction time, instead of settling the bill once a month... Yang Ruoqian still had enough time to make adjustments to the company's various projects.

As for the system's nonsense about "paying too much attention to short-term profits and being too conservative in all investments", Mr. Yang could only express his warmest greetings to the system in his heart.

Let’s figure it out: do I not want to lose money, or am I unable to lose money?

The system won't really judge me as some kind of entertainment industry investment tycoon, right? !

You fart!

And the loss reward... If I can lose money, will I still be short of the three hundred thousand?

Yang Ruoqian, who had been defeated many times, took another gulp of Coke, tried his best to calm down, and began to reflect on his thoughts over the past year.

Ever since he got this system, his thoughts have been limited to the framework of "losing money".

The problem is that the more he wants to lose money and the more he takes things in the direction of losing money, the more he makes a lot of money.

The reason for such consequences...could it be a physical problem?

If you keep thinking about losing money and work hard to make money, then if you change your mind and go in the direction of making money, will you be able to lose money?

In this world where things are counterproductive, perhaps all ideas must be reversed!

After figuring it out, Mr. Yang immediately became excited, as if he had discovered a new world.

Yes, I was dazzled by the system's high subsidies before, and fell into a logical loop. I kept thinking about how to lose money. In the end, the more I tried to get quick success and quick profits, the more I lost money.

It's a very simple logic. If you hold on to the concept of losing money desperately, you will make a lot of money. But when you try to make money, won't you lose a lot of money?

It makes sense...Immediately come up with a prototype for the next project!

Of course, Mr. Yang has no intention of transforming the entire company according to this idea at once, nor does he intend to reduce the various benefits of existing employees.

Since you signed the contract and promised others things, you must do whatever you say.

Although the employees are always backstabbing themselves, they all have such a sense of belonging to the company and are so determined to defend the company's honor. How could Yang Ruoqian chill their hearts?

They didn't do anything wrong.

Calculated according to the profit conversion ratio of one ten thousandth, if one hundred thousand dollars is forcibly taken away from others, only ten dollars will be received in his own hands. It is too ugly to eat. Mr. Yang himself is not short of food and clothing. This kind of Things can't be done.

I can't afford to lose this person.

Moreover, Yang Ruoqian was not sure whether his idea of ​​losing money just for making money could really be realized. At most, he would just start a pilot project that was painless.

If it works, then think about the next steps.

"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be a bloody plot like making money when you want to lose money, and making more money when you want to make money, right?" Yang Ruoqian drank up the happy water in the can and muttered.

No, absolutely impossible.

Don't scare yourself.

It’s better to think carefully about what projects you should do to achieve your goal...

After learning from the painful experience, Yang Ruoqian finally thought he had found hope to break the situation and began to look forward to the bright future of the company.

Since the profit commission ratio is too low, we still have to work hard to make losses this quarter.

It's just that the thinking of losing money needs to be changed, and it can't be too deliberate, otherwise things will be reversed at the extreme.

The question is, what would be a better thing to do with this project?

After learning his lesson, Yang Ruoqian gradually came up with a suitable candidate in his mind.

Rich second generation Shao Yiqi!

They are not afraid of the second generation of rich people living in debauchery, but they are afraid that the second generation of rich people want to start a business... Then Yang Ruoqian will give Shao Yiqi a chance to start a business.

No matter how well Shao Yiqi does in his position, he often brings bad news about the company's profits, but that is only possible because he is in the position of an executor.

What would happen if we changed the style of play and let Shao Yiqi be the decision-maker with him?

Even though Kuangguang Group is so big now, there are actually a lot of projects that are not involved in it, so there is no need to worry about where the investment will go.

"After work, call Shao Yiqi to the office to have a good discussion."

After checking the time, it was not too late. Yang Ruoqian thought about it and decided to read something to pass the time before going to bed.

I opened the familiar site B, and what was rotating on the big cover happened to be the world finals of a certain MOBA game, where YTG faced off against their opponents.

When I clicked in, I saw that the first game was over, with YTG leading the opponent 1:0.

It's now the second game.

Looking at the big score, it was 9:9. The game had already started for more than 20 minutes. Both sides were playing very anxiously, trying their best to fight for every resource.

Before Yang Ruoqian could figure out what was going on, he heard the commentators exclaiming.

"Come on, hurry up... we can't catch up this time, something will happen!"

"What the hell?!"

"Just go down to earth and beat four of them?!"

"Hedao scored four points in one go. He is definitely one of the top famous scenes this year..."

"Hey, I remember this sword demon wasn't 0-2 before? Why does it feel like 2-0?"

Yang Ruoqian, who had just clicked on the live broadcast, saw this scene - the battle situation was obviously very anxious a few seconds ago, but as soon as he opened the video, the situation immediately fell to YTG's side.

The opponent's advantage was completely destroyed...

Seeing that he was about to be defeated in the second game, Yang Ruoqian couldn't help but complain:

"I think I shouldn't have clicked on this live broadcast. Every time I watch the recording, the team I hope will win will win. Every time I watch the live broadcast, the team I hope will win will lose."

Is this some kind of metaphysics?

Yang Ruoqian had already been mentally prepared for the fact that his team was 90% likely to win the championship. At this time, he saw that YTG had gained the advantage and gradually turned the advantage into victory, and his mentality was relatively stable.

Soon, the second game was over. After gaining the advantage, YTG was completely unreasonable and completely crushed the opponent with thunderous momentum, extending the score to 2:0.

It seems that due to a change in mentality, the morale of the opponent in the third game was obviously low. There was almost no decent resistance, and he was pushed all the way, lost the base, and was declared defeated with a big score of 3:0.

YTG lived up to expectations and won the championship.

It is not difficult to guess what will follow. It will definitely be overwhelming publicity, a crazy influx of sponsors and extremely terrifying championship rewards from the game official.

The amount of prize money alone has reached an astonishing US$7 million!

Fifty million RMB!

Although according to the contract, a large part of the 50 million belongs to various members of the club, the number allocated to the Kuaiguang Group will never be in the minority.

Not to mention that the game official will then create a complete set of game skins tailored for the championship team, and both players and clubs will receive a high share of skin sales.

The most popular game in the world, the first skin to win in China, its sales volume is terrifying just thinking about it.

Although the production of skins takes a long time and will not bring much pressure on profitability this quarter, what should come will always come. This heavy blow will definitely bring huge trouble to the company in a subsequent quarter.

But Yang Ruoqian watched the game and listened to the commentator choked up as he said that he had been waiting for this championship for many, many years. He saw many domestic spectators in the audience burst into tears, and listened to the bursts of cheers coming from the window. His face was also unconscious. A smile emerged.

At this time, it doesn’t seem that important whether you are losing money or not, whether you are making money or not…

Later in the award ceremony, Yang Ruoqian didn't watch the victory speech. He turned off his phone and climbed back into bed.

"Are you in such a good mood today?" Chang Zhiqing discerned Yang Ruoqian's emotions very keenly.

"How should I put it? I suddenly found that some of the things I did were quite meaningful..."

Chang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "What you do has always been meaningful."

…

The next day, company.

Shao Yiqi, who was assigned to supervise the newcomer team, suddenly received a message from Yang Ruoqian asking him to come to the office.

Shao Yiqi, who was injured at work, was playing Spider Solitaire in the office when he suddenly received the news. He immediately became energetic: "Okay, it seems that you have something important to discuss with me... As expected, my status in Lao Yang is still very high. "

However, within the company and in front of colleagues, I still have to show a reliable image.

Shao Yiqi walked out of the office, straightened his clothes, and said seriously: "I'm going to have a very important meeting. You guys should do your own thing first and wait for my notification later."

After saying that, he walked into Yang Ruoqian's office, closed the door carefully, and a familiar smile immediately appeared on his serious face.

"Tell me, what's the matter, so mysterious?"

If I didn't value your rich second-generation ability to spend money, I wouldn't have called you here...

Yang Ruoqian waved his hand in disgust, asked Shao Yiqi to sit down, and asked: "I just want to ask you, if you are asked to make a decision, which field do you plan to develop the company in next, and what project do you plan to do?"

Shao Yiqi was obviously stunned by this question. He was extremely surprised: "What happened to you today? You actually asked me to make such a general decision?! Don't you usually do this kind of thing yourself?"

Shao Yiqi, who is used to being an executor, never thought that his extremely awesome college classmate would actually consult him on decision-making issues.

I thought it was due to difficulties at the execution level, but it turned out to be such a big surprise!

So he opened his mouth and said without thinking: "I think..."

As soon as the first three words came out, Shao Yiqi, who was hit by this extraordinary treatment, regained his composure.

No, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

The company is running well. No matter whether it is the whole company or specific projects, no one has encountered difficulties that are difficult to solve. Why did Yang Ruoqian suddenly call him into the office alone to ask such a question?

Things are definitely not that simple...

Is this a test?

Or is there some other purpose?

Anyway, the answer I made by slapping my head would definitely not work.

You Yang Ruoqian, you actually want to trick me... We have lived in the dormitory together for so many years, just this little trick, do you think I can't see it?

Shao Yiqi stopped suddenly and said without changing his expression: "I think it depends on which industry you know better."

Very good, perfectly rounded out.

Yang Ruoqian nodded slightly: "Based on your knowledge, what's your opinion?"

Thinking that employees like to overthink their own behavior, Yang Ruoqian added: "You don't need to think too much about my ideas, just use your own ideas to think about the problem. I need some other references."

Shao Yiqi, who was thinking frantically about how to deal with the problem, raised his head suspiciously: "Really? Do you also want to hear the opinions of ordinary people like us?"

Gods and mortals...

A series of coincidences have inevitably caused Yang Ruoqian's image to change.

Now everyone feels like a cunning strategist.

In this regard, Mr. Yang did not want to explain too much. The more he explained this kind of thing, the more unclear it became.

He nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, it's your own idea. Assuming you were in my position now, what decision would you make?"

Shao Yiqi was still a little worried: "It's really not a test? Is there no conspiracy? Are you trying to trick me into doing some ulterior experiment?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will replace you..."

"Okay, okay..." Shao Yiqi immediately admitted defeat and said seriously, "Our company is actually quite big now, with strong profitability and cash flow. The next step is to prepare for listing first?"

There are many benefits to going public, the most important of which is the ability to raise funds quickly, giving the company stronger financial attributes and liquidity.

There are also more ways to get loans.

For a company that urgently needs to expand its scale, going public can greatly reduce refinancing costs. For a company that needs to expand rapidly, these funds are exactly what is most urgently needed.

Similarly, Yang Ruoqian can also sell shares to cash out for himself.

In short, there are many benefits.

But... Yang Ruoqian cannot let Kuaiguang Group go public.

At least it is impossible for the group entity to be listed.

If necessary in the future, you can purchase shares of a listed company on a large scale and become its largest shareholder.

But the group itself... taking into account the requirements of the system and the inevitable conflicts between shareholders, the inevitable weakening of one's control over the company and other issues.

Save it, don't go public.

They are all systematic people. Kuaiguang Group does not need financing, and there is no risk of the capital chain breaking.

"Let's put aside the listing issue first and talk about specific projects." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand and rejected this opinion, "Do you want our group to be like your father's company, with so many people arguing back and forth?"

"Okay, actually I don't really want your company to go public. Anyway, there is no financial problem." Shao Yiqi nodded, "Then, how about developing in the direction of movies?"

Yang Ruoqian was a little strange: "Aren't we already filming a movie?"

"You are just asking the company's actors to cooperate with others. The producer is not you, and the distributor is not you. You are just helping to select the actors. It is not a project." Shao Yiqi shook his head, "I mean, you can I started trying to form my own crew to produce and distribute movies myself.”

"There are too many troubles involved, so the most convenient way is to directly acquire a publishing company."

If you are new to the industry, you want to be a distributor. If you want to do it step by step, you can only slowly grow from small to large, hire people to make films, use more than ten years of hard work to distribute small productions that no one cares about, and slowly build a distribution network.

Even if Kuaiguang Group has considerable funds and resources, it does not have to go through such a bumpy road. Many of the troubles must be experienced.

The biggest problem is time cost.

Instead of doing this, it is better to acquire a small issuing company at a reasonable price.

As for the production company, it's much simpler and less troublesome.

"Hmm... It does feel okay." Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and agreed with Shao Yiqi's point of view.

Now Yang Ruoqian's thinking has changed to a normal profit model instead of a deliberate loss model.

Although the distributor also has to invest in the movie and be responsible for the overwhelming publicity and distribution expenses before the movie is released, the risk of loss is actually relatively small.

For a big-budget movie, the cost of publicity and the cost of production are often about the same.

But as the distributor, it has the right to first take the promotion fee from the box office share - after deducting its own part from the box office of the theater, the remaining part will be handed over to the distributor.

As long as the box office is not so overwhelming that it cannot even recoup the cost, the publisher will basically not pay any compensation.

Even if you really make a big bet, as long as you don't lose all your money, you won't lose much.

To put it bluntly, even if it loses money, among the companies that lose money, the issuing company will lose the least.

As for simple film production companies, news of bankruptcy and closure comes out every year. Only a few major distribution companies remain standing like iron.

Overall, Shao Yiqi's suggestion is indeed very good.

The benefits are high and the risks are low.

In addition to the very high investment threshold, it can be said to be a perfect plan.

But high investment is not a disadvantage at all for Yang Ruoqian.

Hearing Yang Ruoqian's agreement with his idea, Shao Yiqi looked over in shock: "You... think my idea is indeed okay? Is it true or false?"

Yang Ruoqian's face was full of confusion: "How can this be fake?"

"No...don't you have some genius-like suggestions?" Shao Yiqi seemed to be very unaccustomed to Yang Ruoqian like this, and even started to gesture with his hands, "Just like before, after we made a normal suggestion, you He showed a mysterious smile, rejected all our suggestions, and then made a shocking decision."

"Finally, you left gracefully in front of everyone's shocked eyes. A few months later, your plan was a great success in a way that no one expected..."

"Now you actually directly agreed to my suggestion?! Is this because my strength has improved, or have you become distorted and depraved?!"

Seeing Shao Yiqi's poor performance, Yang Ruoqian discovered for the first time that his college classmate actually had some talent for drama.

You've all figured out a set of rules, right?

Yes, Yang Ruoqian's various shocking operations were indeed successful with various gestures that no one could guess, but this "no one" also included Yang Ruoqian himself.

It's almost enough to expose others but not expose shortcomings...

"Because what you said is indeed feasible." Yang Ruoqian resisted the urge to hit others and smiled slightly, "I'm not a maverick lunatic. I must go a different way from others. If I can make money, why should I refuse? ,right?"

"Then we have to make an agreement first. If the project accidentally fails, you can fine me my salary or demote my position, but you can't fire me, let alone banish me to Chengyu Company..." Shao Yiqi put forward his request. .

In fact, Shao Yiqi suggested acquiring the issuing company. On the basis that this project is indeed not easy to lose money and is indeed easier to make a profit, he also included a little bit of his personal belongings.

If Kuai Guang Group has its own film production company and distribution company, then the cooperation with Cheng Yu will probably be reduced, right?

He doesn't have to be exiled so often, right?

Yang Ruoqian was very generous and naturally patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, after working in the company for so long, you still don't understand me as a person? Have you ever seen an employee who was punished for screwing up a project?" Punishment? Just do it boldly."

There is no trace of falsehood in this statement.

Employees who can make projects fail and lose money are a rare commodity in Kuangguang. They are the treasures of the store that should be held in the palm of your hand. How could Yang Ruoqian have the heart to punish them?

The project is being carried out normally and in a profitable direction, but Yang Ruoqian is just fighting fire with fire, and the final result he hopes to see is still a loss.

"And we let you travel, let you study in big companies, and let you connect with our biggest partners. How come you are just being exiled?"

"You don't understand my feelings for the company, and my determination to sacrifice my life and blood for the Kuangguang Group." Shao Yiqi said righteously, "I can't work within the group, there are ants crawling all over me!"

"Okay, okay..." Yang Ruoqian hesitated for a moment and brought the topic back on track, "Let's talk about the detailed plan. Which company do you think is better to acquire and why."

Since Shao Yiqi dared to give advice, he must have already had the answer in his heart.
