Chapter 971 Heading to the company

There are always some people who rush to stop thinking that they are driving a luxury car, so other vehicles on the road should give way to them unconditionally. It is really funny. If you meet someone with a good temper, let them in because they don't want to have any trouble with you. But there are also many drivers who hate those who cut off the road. If you dare to cut off, they will rush up to you. The road traffic laws are there, and you can't just drive a luxury car and do whatever you want.

During the morning rush hour at work, a Bentley and a Maybach S450 were involved in a collision. The two luxury cars blocked the driveway. Many people passing by saw this scene and couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk Two luxury cars.”

Anyone with a discerning eye will know what's going on as soon as they look at the front of the car. The two cars involved in the accident were both luxury cars costing hundreds of millions of won. Such incidents are still rare during the morning rush hour. On weekdays, it is common for domestically produced cars or ordinary Mercedes-Benz and BMWs to get stuck during the morning rush hour. One of them is a Bentley, a top-notch SUV that was released just this year, and the other is a Maybach S450. Well, the Maybach S450 is still a much lower grade than the Bentley Bentayga, which was launched at this time.

After getting out of the car and taking photos, Zhang Pingan glanced at the middle-aged owner of the Maybach and said, "It's up to you to drive other cars like the Maybach. Then if you drive a Rolls-Royce, won't you go to heaven? Let's go. , repair shop, notify the insurance company yourself!”

The car owner looked at Zhang Pingan, looked him up and down and said, "You seem to be..."

Zhang Pingan said: "Does it matter who I am? Just call my name and I will stop you from paying compensation? Don't waste time, get in the car and go to Bentley's 4S repair shop!"

Koreans, like Japanese, bully the weak and fear the strong. When Zhang Pingan's vehicle was one level higher than his, he was like a grandson in front of Zhang Pingan. In today's society, everyone knows someone who can drive such a luxurious vehicle. If you say that he has no ability, it would be a bit cute.

The man driving the Maybach followed Zhang Pingan's vehicle to the 4S store. After the repair quote, the two of them sat outside waiting for someone from his insurance company to come over.

The car owner then walked over with a smile and said to Zhang Pingan with a flattering expression: "Well... you are Zhang Pingan, right?"

On the way here, he remembered who Zhang Pingan was. This car owner was in the securities field in South Korea. He had recently made some money from Bitcoin, so he bought a Maybach. After thinking of 'Zhang Pingan', he called and asked his friends. When he learned that Zhang Pingan's family was a world-class investment company, he started to come over to get close to him.

Zhang Ping'an looked at this smiling man and could understand at a glance what he was here to do at this time, so he said nonchalantly: "What? Is something wrong?"

The middle-aged car owner said: "It's nothing.

I just want to say sorry to you. I woke up in the morning and rushed to the company, so... I'm sorry. "

Everyone took the initiative to apologize, and Zhang Pingan could no longer say anything with a straight face. His tone also softened a little: "Don't be so angry when driving. Don't think that just because you drive a Maybach, you don't obey the traffic rules." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm just a little anxious today. This is my business card. If you need my help with anything in the future, you can contact me." As he said this, the middle-aged uncle gave Zhang Pingan a business card.

Looking at the 'Securities' company written on the business card, Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Why, you still want me to give you my funds to help me invest?"

The middle-aged uncle quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Ms. Zhang has always been the legendary queen in our financial world."

"Hey" Zhang Pingan couldn't help but sigh. Because Zhang Ping'an's mother had heard about these people who were involved in finance and investment. But Zhang Ping'an really doesn't have much interest in investing, because they are not ordinary evil-minded people, and they only recognize money in their world, and nothing else works!

Just when Zhang Pingan sighed, the middle-aged man apologized again and said, "I really caused trouble for you today."

Zhang Pingan stopped and said, "It's okay. Ask your insurance company when it will arrive. I have something else to do."

Originally, I wanted to drive this car to take Yang Yueyue to the airport, but now the car is left in the repair shop. Zhang Ping'an could only smile bitterly and take a taxi to the company. On the way, he was thinking about next year's "SUV" battle. He must buy several SUVs, the first of which is the facelifted "Big G".

Zhang Pingan came to the company in formal attire. At this time, the front desk staff had just stood at their jobs. Seeing Zhang Pingan's arrival, she immediately stood up from her seat and greeted Zhang Pingan: "President, the representative has not arrived at the company yet."

Zhang Ping'an smiled at the young lady at the front desk and said, "It's okay. I'll go to the investment department first. You can do your work."

The investment department is a department that goes to and from get off work on time. What I do every day is to select scripts. Even if I have a meeting to decide on a film to invest in, it is for others to come to the company to discuss it, rather than the company people going out to discuss it.

Zhang Ping'an entered the investment department, which did not have that many people. The entire department is an open office environment, and the director is sitting in the executive seat opposite the door. When he saw Zhang Pingan arriving, he stood up quickly, followed by the staff to greet him.

"President, you are here."

"I haven't been here for half a year. I have been busy in China recently. Come here today to have a look. The investment effect this year is good, and I will give you a bonus at the end of the year." Hearing the word 'bonus', everyone in the investment department got excited. cried.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Everyone happens to be here, let's have a meeting together. By the way, minister, call the planning minister here too."

In the small conference room of the investment department, everyone sat down for a meeting. A new employee had already run errands downstairs to buy coffee. Because the company is located in Jiangnan, there are chain coffee shops everywhere, so you can easily buy it just by going downstairs.

Drinking coffee, Zhang Pingan looked at the recent investment list.

There are several TV dramas with advertising revenue, but the TV station has not yet called: "Use the TV station to pay these bills, don't keep delaying them. Let them occupy them for three months, our company is already very interesting."

After talking about the bill, Zhang Ping'an turned to the head of the planning department: "Recently, have you had any planning projects here recently?"

The planning department said: "The market has been a bit sluggish recently. Due to the impact of the situation, the ratings of recent variety shows are not necessarily high. On the contrary, the daily ratings of news channels are skyrocketing."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "The situation has calmed down now, and it's time for us to think about the program planning for the New Year. I have already conceived several plans. I will send you the plan by email in two days. Then we can discuss it together. sex."

"Where are the partners? Recently, 'JTBC' has invested heavily in variety shows. Do you want to consider them?"

Zhang Ping'an said: "The old rule is to discuss with several TV stations, and ultimately see how much 'money' they can offer, as well as the share ratio. Alas, it is difficult for our company to independently produce programs now."

Speaking of which, Zhang Pingan is still a little regretful, because in the past, he produced independently and bought out the broadcast time of the TV station and was responsible for the profits and losses. At that time, several programs produced by Zhang Pingan made the company earn a lot of money. Now, the TV stations that 'produce programs' choose to cooperate. Zhang Pingan's company provides program planning, and the TV station provides time to shoot with the staff. As a result, Zhang Pingan's money was reduced by more than half.

The planning director said: "Now the programs produced by our company have the same market appeal as Na Ying-seok and Kim Tae-ho. The TV station is not stupid and will definitely choose to cooperate. Even if our program production fails, the loss is just a loss. It’s only one season. But it’s a huge profit. Music-type programs such as “The Voice” and “The Mask” have earned the TV station a lot of reputation and money.”

Then the leader of the investment department said: "The ratings of the programs are quite good, but the money we make is really not as good as the TV series and movies we chose!! President, in the future, should we shift our focus to TV series? "

The minister also turned to look at Zhang Pingan and said: "In the past two years, only a small part of the TV series we invested in have suffered losses, and most of them have good reputation and ratings."

Investing in TV series is an investment where you are responsible for your profits and losses. And the funds invested in TV dramas are definitely much larger than those in variety shows. The most typical one is "Descendants of the Sun", which Jang Pingan spent more than 10 billion won on. This drama took more than a year to start paying back, although it is said that Jang Pingan Company made a lot of money this year. of. But an investment of 10 billion is not a small amount, and it will still be heartbreaking if it fails.

And TV dramas, like movies, don’t necessarily have big returns if they are big productions. It often happens that many big productions encounter waterloo. For example, "The Legend" was just released on the Chinese National Day holiday not long ago. It was criticized a lot after it was released, and the box office was extremely dismal. It was a loss. A conservative estimate of a loss of more than 200 million is still conservative!

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Investing in TV series, I still say that no matter how big the investment is for a good script, we are willing to invest. But each of you has to keep your eyes open. Don't want to invest just because it is a script. Especially Anyone who uses investment for blackmail will be fired once discovered! This will be followed to the end!”

The minister nodded and said: "That's for sure. We are a formal film and television investment company. I also promise you, president, that no one in my team will be in that situation. And we have decided to invest in every drama. It was decided by everyone in our group who participated in the vote.”

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's the end of the year now. Do you want to organize some activities this year?"
