Chapter 232 231. Get the news
"Is everything you said true!? Are you sure the information is accurate?" Zhou Aiguo looked at Nie Wei in surprise. After listening to Nie Wei's explanation, instead of solving his doubts, he became even more confused.
Facing Zhou Aiguo's gaze, Nie Wei nodded seriously.
"Wang Jinghua and the Wang brothers have been at odds for more than a day or two. There was a honeymoon period in the front, but it was more like the calm before the storm. Both parties are actually patient, but there is undoubtedly a bottom line for this patience. Both parties are not that kind. For those who give in easily, it is only a matter of time before the conflict breaks out.”
As he said that, Nie Wei picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes were focused, and then he told Zhou Aiguo what he knew would happen in the future as conclusions and guesses: "In my opinion, there is only one ending for both parties. Wang Jinghua takes Da Some artists will leave and hollow out Huayi Management Company, while the Wang brothers will reorganize the company."
"Is this why you asked me to borrow funds? But your guess is really bold. If it is true as you said, then there will definitely be a big storm in the mainland entertainment industry." Zhou Aiguo looked at Nie Wei in admiration , if things are really as Nie Wei expected, this child's eyesight is really quite remarkable.
Nie Wei didn't hide it either. Since he wanted to borrow money, he naturally had to tell the reason for borrowing the money.
"That's right, Uncle Zhou. After the company is hollowed out, the first thing the Wang brothers will do is to sign countless celebrities to fill the vacancies. But with Huayi's strength, they simply don't have that much money to sign big names, so they It is destined to attract foreign capital, so this is the best time for us to intervene.”
Speaking of this, Nie Wei's eyes also lit up. He looked ambitious and said excitedly: "As long as they are willing to accept external funds, we will invest as much as we can. This is not just about becoming the boss." At the same time, this is an investment with a very high return. As long as it can survive this hurdle, Huayi feels that it can bring us high returns in the future.”
Nie Wei's words are not bragging, but an absolute fact. The current original capital of Huayi is actually not high. Nie Wei only needs to pay a small part of the capital to gain a large number of shares, and these shares are in Huayi. After listing, you can definitely get returns of dozens or even hundreds of times.
What's more, this is also related to his status in the entertainment industry. Being able to become a shareholder of Huayi will also give Nie Wei more say. For things like today's dinner, he doesn't need to keep a low profile. , so passive.
"I won't ask you any more specific questions. Tell me the amount of funds you need in advance so that I can be prepared." Zhou Aiguo agreed directly, and at the same time told him that after all, this kind of loan is a private matter and cannot be left. For company accounts, if Nie Wei needs a lot, he has to make some preparations in advance.
"Understood, thank you Uncle Zhou."
"Why are you so polite? Come on, let's make a pot of tea. I think your skills are better."
"Okay."
After securing the funds, Nie Wei suddenly relaxed a lot and slept very soundly. He was still immersed in dreams the next morning. While Nie Wei was still sleeping in, Luo Kai had already arrived at the company early and started to inquire about some tips. information.
Of course, Luo Kai couldn't blatantly inquire about people, so he went straight to the common room after entering the company.
As the name suggests, the common room is for all employees of the company to rest. There are three such public rooms in the company. The one Luo Kailai belongs to belongs to the broker.
It stands to reason that a manager like Luo Kai, who has a popular artist, can enjoy the artist's lounge as long as the relationship with the artist is not too bad, and since he brought Nie Wei, Luo Kai rarely comes here. , so his appearance immediately aroused the surprised eyes of everyone in the lounge.
After the surprise, there was extraordinary enthusiasm.
"Brother Luo, sit here quickly. I just made a pot of hot tea."
"Brother Luo, come to me. Our artist and I have just returned from abroad and brought a lot of good things, and I brought some specially for you."
"Brother Kai, do you want water or a drink? I'll get it for you."
As the company's gold medal agent, Luo Kai is definitely considered a big shot in this circle, and most of the people in this lounge are agents who have had an unsatisfactory life. When they meet someone of Luo Kai's level, they are naturally Just to curry favor, for no other reason than to get Nie Wei to mention one of his artists during a visit, that would be a huge favor.
"Brother Kai, why are you free to come to our small place today? We don't even know how to entertain you." An agent wearing black-rimmed glasses smiled and invited Luo Kai to the largest sofa in the room. , asked in a friendly manner.
"It's nothing. Nie Wei is resting today. It's not interesting for me to stay alone in the lounge. Isn't this why I want to chat with my brothers to relieve my boredom? What's the matter, you're not welcome?" Luo Kai asked with a smile.
"Ouch! What can you say? How can we do it? It's too late for you to come." Not only the black-framed glasses manager shouted in grievance, but the rest of the people didn't even complain.
"It's just a joke." Luo Kai smiled and waved his hands. No matter whether they thought his joke was funny or not, everyone else followed him and laughed non-stop.
When Luo Kai stopped laughing, the group of people seemed to have made an agreement, and they stopped laughing one after another, and all looked at Lu Yuan eagerly.
"It's okay for us to just sit around. Whoever goes to the leisure room to get a pair of mahjong, let's have a table together." Luo Kai suddenly suggested after looking around.
"Oh, look at my brain, Brother Luo Kai, wait, I'll get the mahjong back for you right away." The bespectacled agent who had been trying to get close to Luo Kai at the beginning slapped his forehead, pretending to be annoyed, and then suddenly turned to a young agent who looked to be in his twenties and said, "Xiao Liu, you're on your feet, go get a set of mahjong back."
"Me? Oh, I see, I'll go right away." The agent named Xiao Liu was surprised at first, but when he saw the bespectacled agent glaring at him, he immediately got scared and ran to get the mahjong.
Luo Kai saw all this clearly from the side, but he didn't have the idea of standing up for the young man. This is the rule of this industry. If a newcomer wants to make it, he has to be ordered around by the old man. Of course, if you can lead a good artist, you can be like him, sitting on the sofa and being complimented by a group of agents.
Soon, Xiao Liu got back a set of mahjong, and four people, including the bespectacled agent, gathered at a table.
If business talks must be accompanied by food and wine, then playing mahjong is definitely a good place to exchange information. After playing two rounds, the initial sense of restraint was gone. Once people relax, they will casually say some random things, and Luo Kai will filter out the useful information from their messy information.
"Bai Tiao, is there anything interesting in the company recently?" Luo Kai casually threw a card and asked seemingly casually.
Others didn't care about Luo Kai's purpose, and someone immediately spoke up when he asked this question.
"You're right, there have been some strange things happening in the company recently. You know, Hu Jun took a commercial event privately a while ago. I heard that Wang Zhonglei smashed his beloved crystal glass because of this."
"Is it true? Wang Jinghua took Hu Jun to take an event privately? What's going on?"
"Can it be fake?" The agent who spread the gossip glared, as if he was very angry about the other party's doubts. He raised his voice and retorted loudly: "I heard it from Xiaolu in the secretariat. She happened to be on duty at the door of President Wang that day. Although she didn't hear the whole quarrel, she heard almost everything."
"Brother, keep your voice down. This matter cannot be publicized." At this time, Luo Kai stood up and reminded him, which calmed down the agent who broke the news. He just felt that he lost face in front of Luo Kai and became louder. He wanted to overwhelm the other party with momentum, but he didn't expect the consequences of telling this matter. At this moment, he was reminded by Luo Kai and broke out in a cold sweat.
If Mr. Wang knew that I was spreading negative news about him behind his back, the company itself would obviously not be able to survive.
"Thank you, Brother Luo, for reminding me. I lost my temper, I lost my temper."
"It's a small matter, but I understand your excitement. Taking private jobs is definitely a taboo for the company. I don't know how Wang Jinghua is so bold that she dares to take Hu Jun to participate in commercial activities without the company."
"Haha, that woman is very confident. 70 to 80 percent of the big-name artists in our company are brought by her." The bespectacled agent sitting opposite Luo Kai sneered and played a useless card, saying at the same time: "Look, Hu Jun took a commercial performance privately, but did you see how the company punished him? Let me tell you, no, they only gave him a warning, which is not painful, and they don't want the school warning to record the file, what's the use, I think Wang Jinghua is relying on her many artists, so she has the confidence to do this."
Then the group of people complained a lot, and from these complaints, Luo Kai also learned a lot of situations, and had a relatively clear impression of the current internal struggles in the company.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang will definitely find a way to deal with her. The company's rules are not so easy to break, don't you think so?" After listening for a long time, Luo Kai finally comforted her.
"Haha, Brother Kai, you are right. People like that will definitely be dealt with." Several agents echoed.
In fact, they may not really dislike Wang Jinghua, but the whole company knows that Nie Wei and Luo Kai are Wang Zhonglei's people. They are not stupid enough to say bad things about Wang Zhonglei in front of Luo Kai, so they can only catch Wang Jinghua and scold her. Fortunately, this lounge was requisitioned by the four of them, so they don't have to worry too much about the gossip of many people.
"By the way, Brother Kai, your Nie Wei took on a villain role. What's the matter?" Mahjong was played again. While everyone was playing the Great Wall, the agent with glasses suddenly asked curiously.
This question was undoubtedly what the other two wanted to know. For a while, they all looked at Luo Kai, wanting to know how he would answer.
"Haha, this is our Nie Wei's own choice." Luo Kai replied with a smile.
"Is that so? You're not worried about his sudden failure in transformation. Nie Wei is our company's treasure, and President Wang didn't stop him?" Someone else asked.
In fact, when everyone knew that Nie Wei suddenly took on a villain role, they were very surprised. You know, Nie Wei has always been a positive image. We only know that some people started playing villains and reached a dead end, and then began to transform into a decent person. It's really rare to hear that someone who played a decent person smoothly turned into a villain.
What everyone is more curious about is Wang Zhonglei's attitude. How could he agree to Nie Wei to play a villain?
"You are so curious, what does it mean?" Luo Kai's smiling face suddenly sank, looking at the other three people, and asked back.
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them trembled all over, and the other two cast their complaining eyes on the face of the glasses agent who asked the first question. They were just curious, but they forgot Luo Kai's identity. They can just pry around.
This time it was bad, Luo Kai was angry and wondered how the three of them would wear small shoes.
The agent wearing glasses was also depressed from the bottom of his heart. He originally thought it would be a good opportunity to get close to him, but in the end, he annoyed the real owner because of his arrogance. Now it’s better. Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. I really want to give it to myself. I owe my mouth a few slaps to improve my memory.
Just when the three of them were worried and were about to find a place to go down the slope, Luo Kai, who had been sullen just now, suddenly became happy, pointed at the three of them and laughed: "You must have been scared, hahaha, I'm kidding you."
What? joke? The remaining three people were stunned and at a loss. They didn't know whether to laugh or continue to find a way to apologize.
"You are really thinking too much. Can this matter be done if Mr. Wang doesn't agree? Let me tell you, our Nie Wei was interviewed by Cheng Long personally, and it was in Cheng Long's own office. Let me tell you one more thing. Cheng Long decided to give this role to our Nie Wei on the spot. Did you know that this villain is actually very special? I have seen it and it definitely has the potential to become a hit. Besides, our Nie Wei is famous for his ability and vision. Could he be wrong about the character he imagined?"
When he said this, Luo Kai showed a very proud expression.
"Yes, yes, Nie Wei really has a very good vision, and the few dramas he debuted in have become huge hits."
"Yeah, Brother Kai, you've seen it. I'm sure it's true. We're looking forward to it. When the movie is released, we will support it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Cheng Long appointed me. It's worth looking forward to."
Seemingly realizing that Luo Kai was really not angry, the remaining three people all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they immediately patted him over as if they were flattering him for free. Luo Kai said with a smile on his face, his eyebrows stretched, and he was extremely happy.
After talking and laughing for two more rounds, Luo Kai left the lounge on the pretext that he had something to do. When he just walked out of the company door, the smile on his face immediately calmed down, and then he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Nie Wei's number.
