Chapter 306 306. The Dawn of Huayi
Wang Zhonglei called, Nie Wei went to the room and answered the phone.
"Nie Wei, can you come to the company now?" As soon as the phone was connected, Wang Zhonglei didn't care about the greetings and asked directly.
"Are you in a hurry? I'm having dinner with my family." Nie Wei replied, but he could tell from Wang Zhonglei's anxious tone that the other party was obviously in a lot of trouble at the moment.
Wang Zhonglei didn't expect Nie Wei to answer like this, his face was a little surprised, and he looked at Wang Zhongjun beside him.
Because the phone was on speakerphone, Wang Zhongjun could naturally hear Nie Wei's answer. Seeing his brother's eyes looking at him, he shook his head immediately.
"It doesn't matter, you can come tomorrow, stay at home with your parents, that's it." After saying that, Wang Zhonglei hung up the phone and looked at Wang Zhongjun in confusion.
He understood the look in his brother's eyes just now, otherwise he wouldn't have answered like this, but his brother was obviously in a hurry to find Nie Wei just now, why didn't he suddenly stop being anxious at this time?
"We can't show too many cards. Nie Wei has too much capital. If we show all our cards to the other party, we will be more passive." Wang Zhongjun explained.
Hearing this answer, Wang Zhonglei was silent.
Once upon a time, although he knew that Nie Wei was a rich second-generation, he still regarded Nie Wei as a star that he could control. But in the blink of an eye, Nie Wei was worth billions. Wang Zhonglei could not accept this change for a while. On the contrary, Wang Zhongjun, who had a more pure business mindset, accepted it very happily.
After putting away the phone and returning to the house, Nie Wei's expression was still calm. He was not affected by the content of the phone call just now. He smiled and accompanied his family to eat dinner.
However, when Nie Wei returned to his cabin, he could no longer suppress his expression, and a look of excitement quickly climbed onto his face.
He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come.
Nie Wei had a rare sleepless night, and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. That night, the Wang brothers and many people in Huayi were actually sleepless, because the precarious company and the uncertain future were always on their minds.
Early the next morning, the sultry Kyoto finally drizzled, bringing a refreshing feeling to the city.
However, the inside of Huayi was like a dark cloud. Many employees had long lost their minds to work, and gathered in groups of three or two, discussing something.
"Is what the newspaper said true? Not only did Chen Daoming leave, but Liu Jialing and Hu Jun also changed jobs?" An employee pointed to the newspaper in his hand, on which the headline on the cover read "Huayi people left, the former overlord is now a thing of the past." ’
“I think it’s possible. We haven’t seen Brother Qiang and his friends. I heard from Xiao Huang in the Finance Department that the stars mentioned in the newspapers went to the Finance Department one after another last month to settle in advance. You said they didn’t want to change jobs, so why would they do this?”
“Yes.”
“That’s right.”
“Then our company won’t really go bankrupt as the newspapers say, right?” A young man who looked to be in his twenties, obviously a newcomer, asked with a nervous look on his face.
No wonder he was worried. He thought that entering Huayi would be a smooth road to his career, but he never expected that this first-line domestic agency would be hollowed out in an instant. Without those big-name artists, Huayi’s decline was a foregone conclusion. He now just felt that he was too unlucky.
"Shut up, we are not that easy to collapse, and you guys have time to get together and chat, have you finished the work at hand? Does the boss pay you wages for you to play around!?" Before the young man could wait for someone to answer, he heard a rather majestic voice in his ear. He turned around and saw that his supervisor was staring at him angrily.
The young man shivered unconsciously and ran back to his position, pretending to be busy, but he didn't care in his heart. A company that is about to go downhill, all the stars have run away, what else is there to be busy about.
Watching the scattered people return to their own positions, watching them pretend to be busy but actually absent-minded, the supervisor sighed in his heart, picked up the newspaper that fell on the ground, looked at the headline on the front page, and was a little absent-minded for a while.
The headline of the newspaper dazzled him. As the first batch of "subjects" who followed the Wang brothers, they could be said to be the veterans of the company. They watched him lead you from an advertising company to a first-class domestic entertainment company that combines film production and celebrity brokerage.
Seeing the company in this state, he felt heartbroken, but also felt helpless. After all, he was just a small supervisor. He could control his employees but not the gossips of the public, and he could not turn the tide for the company. All he could do was try his best to stabilize people's hearts.
"Manager Liu, what newspaper are you reading? So absent-minded?" Just when the manager was a little sad, a very pleasant voice with magnetism suddenly sounded in his ears.
Manager Liu looked up in astonishment and saw a tall boy standing in front of him, looking at him with a sunny smile.
While his peripheral vision swept around, he found that the subordinates who were talking a lot just now were all looking at the big boy who suddenly appeared with an incredible expression.
"Nie... Nie Wei, why are you here?" Manager Liu stuttered when he said this, because Nie Wei's appearance was really too unexpected for him.
"Why can't I come? I'm also a member of the company. I also brought breakfast for everyone. Who can help me get it? I bought a lot. Luo Kai and I can't carry it all at once."
"I'll do it!"
"Nie Wei, I'll do it. I'll get it for you."
"I just finished my work. I'll go."
Before Manager Liu could answer, the staff members nearby who had come to their senses immediately stood up enthusiastically, and each of them was excited, as if they had encountered a great happy event.
How could they not be happy? The moment they saw Nie Wei, their gloomy hearts really seemed to be illuminated by the sun. Nie Wei's appearance was like a shot of adrenaline for everyone. This actor who was in the limelight was still staying in Huayi. Obviously, Huayi had not reached the point of exhaustion.
Manager Liu was also happy, looking at Nie Wei excitedly. He felt that he liked Nie Wei no matter how he looked at him. If he hadn't suppressed his excitement, he would have kissed Nie Wei happily.
As a supervisor, he knew more clearly what Nie Wei's appearance in the company meant. It was like a magic needle suddenly descended from the stormy sea, calming the waves.
With everyone's enthusiastic help, the breakfast brought by Nie Wei was soon distributed to everyone in the company. It was a simple set meal of a hamburger and a cup of milk, but the employees who received it felt like they had obtained a treasure, and everyone smiled.
The restless atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot because of Nie Wei's arrival. At least most of the employees who had eaten the breakfast bought by Nie Wei could calm down and work.
After Luo Kai finished distributing breakfast, the two did not go to Wang Zhonglei immediately, but returned to the lounge together and played a few games of live football. It was not until Wang Zhonglei's secretary came over that Nie Wei put down the handle, greeted Luo Kai, and followed her to Wang Zhonglei's office.
Along the way, the little secretary secretly glanced at Nie Wei several times, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Sister Li, do you have anything to ask me? Just ask directly." Nie Wei had noticed the secretary's gaze a long time ago, so he simply said directly.
"Nie Wei, will you stay in the company?" Secretary Xiao Li was stunned at first, and then asked directly without hesitation.
Ever since she got the news that Nie Wei came to the company, this question has been lingering in her mind. Is Nie Wei coming to stay in the company, or is he also preparing to change jobs? With a nervous heart, Xiao Li looked at Nie Wei, waiting for his answer.
"Of course I will stay in the company." Nie Wei did not hesitate for a second and answered directly. At the end, he did not forget to tease the secretary: "My biggest motivation to stay in the company is Brother Zhonglei's tea and Sister Li's tea-making skills. Just imagine it and it smells so good."
"I'm not as good as you say." Secretary Xiao Li's expression was happy at first, and then a little shy. After all, she was praised by a handsome guy. Even though she knew that the other party's words were more to make her happy, she still enjoyed it very much.
Bringing Nie Wei to the door of the office, Xiao Li left a sentence "I'll go make tea", and then left Nie Wei here.
Nie Wei didn't care. He was not unfamiliar with this place. He knocked on the door twice and heard no movement. Just as he was wondering, he saw the door open. Wang Zhonglei actually ran to open the door himself.
Nie Wei looked at him in surprise, but then he heard another voice in the office and immediately understood.
Walking into the room, Wang Zhongjun was there.
"What is your publicity department doing? You can't even cover up such a small piece of news? Now the people of the whole country are watching our company's jokes. What do you think we should do?"
"Forget it, it's too late for public relations now. Remember, immediately notify the company that no one is allowed to make a positive response. It's everyone in the company, including the cleaning lady. If anyone talks to the media, I will let him pack up and leave!"
Wang Zhongjun answered the phone and scolded people. He didn't avoid Nie Wei at all. He smiled apologetically at Nie Wei until he hung up the phone.
"Nie Wei is here." Wang Zhongjun greeted Nie Wei with a smile.
"Boss Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?" Nie Wei also smiled, but then he asked directly.
Wang Zhongjun was a little surprised, but he still answered directly: "There are indeed some things, Nie Wei, I heard from Zhonglei that your contract problem has not been discussed yet. I wonder if you have any ideas. Can you tell me?"
"I don't have any ideas, but Boss Wang asked me today, just to talk about the contract?" Nie Wei smiled and suddenly asked back.
Wang Zhongjun obviously didn't expect Nie Wei to say this. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly covered it up with a smile, but the fluctuation in his eyes was seen by Nie Wei who had been observing his expression.
At that moment, Nie Wei had a bottom line in his heart.
In the next few tens of seconds, Wang Zhongjun suddenly fell into silence, and he didn't even notice that Xiao Li brought in the tea. Wang Zhonglei on the side was anxious, looking at Nie Wei and Wang Zhongjun again, wanting to say something, but found that there was nothing to say.
After a long while, Wang Zhongjun finally looked at Nie Wei again, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Nie Wei, the company really needs you now, how about you listen to our proposal first."
"I'm all ears." Nie Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip in style, his expression still calm, as if old friends were reminiscing about the past.
"Nie Wei, if you are willing to reach a five-year contract renewal with the company now, we will reward you with a 5% stock dividend right. As long as you are in the company, you will always enjoy this treatment."
"Is that all?" Seeing that Wang Zhongjun said this, Nie Wei asked with a smile.
"Of course not, I still need some money. I want to sell some of the company's shares. I wonder if you are interested in taking over, Nie Wei?" When Wang Zhongjun said this, he stared at Nie Wei, not wanting to miss the slightest expression and movement of this guy who seemed to be a simple boy but was actually a cunning old fox.
However, Nie Wei's performance obviously disappointed Wang Zhongjun. He had proposed to sell shares, but Nie Wei's expression remained unchanged.
During the few seconds of waiting, the three people in the office had their own thoughts. Finally, Nie Wei spoke.
"Forget about the stock, but I am very interested in Huayi's shares. I just don't know how much money Mr. Wang needs and how many shares I can get?"
As soon as Nie Wei said this, Wang Zhongjun's mouth corners rose unconsciously.
"Twenty million, 15% of Huayi shares, how about it?" Wang Zhongjun quoted.
However, Nie Wei immediately shook his head. If it was Huayi before it was discovered, it was indeed worth this price, but the current Huayi, haha.
"I am willing to pay 20 million, but I want 35% of the shares." Nie Wei said directly after rejecting Wang Zhongjun's offer.
"Impossible!" Before Wang Zhongjun answered, Wang Zhonglei on the side shouted angrily, looking at Nie Wei's appearance, it was like looking at an ungrateful traitor.
Wang Zhongjun on the side also looked a little bad. Huayi's agency was indeed hit hard, but the main film company was not affected too much. The film company with Feng Xiaogang in charge is still a well-known sign in the industry.
The price proposed by Nie Wei really tasted like taking advantage of the fire.
However, Wang Zhongjun was not as out of control as Wang Zhonglei. He was also very angry, but he was able to suppress it and persuaded Wang Zhonglei who was about to say something to leave.
"Nie Wei, this price exceeds my psychological expectation." After sending Wang Zhonglei away, Wang Zhongjun came back and said directly.
"I know my bid is outrageous, but after listening to all my conditions, I believe that Mr. Wang will accept it with pleasure." Nie Wei looked like he had won the game, and said to Wang Zhongjun with a smile.
