Chapter 278 What? Am I the boss of Fengge?
Hearing Xu Kong’s title, Song Fuquan reminded him like he did before:
“I’ve already said that when no one is around in private, just call me uncle.”
Song Fuquan is no different from Xu Kong when he first met each other. He is still so kind and does not have the airs of the so-called company chairman.
But the more this happened, the more determined Xu Kong became. The current situation of Song Fuquan Fengge was not surprising at all.
And even the impression he left on Xu Kong was different, more like an ordinary middle-aged man than the chairman of a large company like Feng Ge.
But he knew very well that in fact, if Song Fuquan really didn't have the skills, it would be impossible to develop Fengge into one of the top film and television companies in the entertainment industry.
In other words, Song Fuquan is really good at disguise, at least in this aspect, it is much more obvious than in Zhu Changyun.
"Uncle Song, please call me here this time..."
......
Although Xu Kong probably guessed that it was definitely related to Zhu Changyun leading people away and the current crisis in Feng Ge.
But he was not sure what Song Fuquan was thinking for a while.
After all, the other party didn’t seem too worried at all.
"You should also know about the recent events in the company, right?"
Song Fuquan asked at this time.
Xu Kong hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"It should have spread throughout the company. It would be strange if you didn't know."
Song Fuquan said to himself before waiting for Xu Kong's answer.
"I asked you to come here mainly to ask, what do you think?"
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
Strictly speaking, although Feng Ge can indeed be said to be seriously injured at the moment, almost all the team members of the company who used to be in all aspects have been taken away by Zhu Changyun.
But Xu Kong, as an artist under the company, really has nothing to do with him.
Even the immediate presence barely makes much of an impact.
After all, Xu Kong has hardly relied on Fengge’s resources since he came to Fengge.
For example, the previous cooperation with Penguin Video and Mango, now all belong to Xu Kong’s own connections.
In this case, even if Fengge really goes bankrupt tomorrow, for Xu Kong, existence is just his own contract in the company.
......
"Uncle Song, what do you mean?"
Xu Kong was a little unsure.
How can he see it.
Although the relevant news does not exist in hot searches or anything like that.
But it is already completely known in the circle.
Now many people are speculating that after Fengge is completely hollowed out this time, it will definitely be unable to maintain the scale of a large company in the industry.
No one knows whether it will eventually decline completely.
After all, people have been poached, and losses in various related businesses are normal. There is a high probability that you will be unable to make ends meet in a short period of time.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Fengge's own company size and financial strength are there.
The follow-up is nothing more than the need to train new people again.
And there is Xu Kong, who is currently at the peak of his power, and there is no telling whether he will rise again in the future.
......
"When Lao Zhu leaves this time, almost all the artists he takes away are second-tier or above, accounting for almost two-thirds or more of our company."
"In addition, there are great directors like Zhuo Jiasheng who have been in the company for more than ten years, plus the screenwriters, editors, special effects teams, and post-production teams of the film and television department..."
"It can be said that today's Feng Ge is basically gutted."
When Song Fuquan talked about these people, he still looked a little sad.
After all, many of these people actually joined Fengge when it was still a small company.
Many of them were even signed by Chairman Song Fuquan himself, after having a heart-to-heart talk with the other party.
Putting aside the public talk, they are actually good friends in private.
"I mean, Feng Ge is like this now, do you still decide to stay?"
This sentence surprised Xu Kong.
He thought that Song Fuquan might ask relevant questions, just to test his attitude.
I just didn’t expect that the other party would be so straightforward.
There was no plan to be tactful or beat around the bush.
......
"Today's Feng Ge may not be of much help to you, but may actually be a drag..."
Song Fuquan is very Speak calmly.
Everything said is true.
But Xu Kong didn't hesitate much.
"I have no plans to leave for the time being."
"And my contract has not expired."
"If Uncle Song is worried about this, don't worry."
What Xu Kong said were his true inner thoughts.
Fengge really wasn't of much help to him, but if it were another company, wouldn't it be?
Xu Kong doesn’t think that he still needs to rely on the so-called company and entertainment industry resources in the past two or three years.
Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
Xu Kong’s idea is also very simple. After coming to Fengge, he really enjoyed his stay here and did not encounter any problems that made him intolerable.
The most important thing is that Feng Ge is still a company of the Song family after all. His relationship with Song Youyou, if he chooses to leave at this time, it is estimated that the other party will never care about him again in the future.
Although Xu Kong has a relatively rational character most of the time, he is not so callous as to put interests first.
It can be said that he doesn't have a big say in whether to stay in Fengge, but as long as he has Song Youyou's relationship, it is impossible for him to leave.
......
"Don't worry about the contract. I can terminate your remaining contract unconditionally."
"Do you plan to go to other companies or start your own business in the future? , all no problem.”
Song Fuquan spoke again.
Seemingly because Xu Kong was worried, he simply solved his so-called worries directly.
After hearing this, Xu Kong just smiled lightly and shook his head.
"Uncle Song, do you plan to disband Fengge Film and Television?"
Xu Kong's question received a negative answer.
"Then since the company has no plans to dissolve, there is no need to mention this matter again."
Song Fuquan's expression suddenly became serious.
"Have you thought about it?"
"This matter is related to your future."
Xu Kong smiled noncommittally, which was another statement of his position. .
...
Song Fuquan stared at Xu Kong for a long time, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was firm in his decision, and finally looked away with a smile.
"In this case, Feng Ge may have to rely on you in the future."
Song Fuquan's words directly confused Xu Kong.
It’s not because this is a so-called important task, it’s mainly because Xu Kong wants to remind the other party that he is an artist under a company, as if he is preparing to hand the company over to him.
"This is the contract, please take a look at it carefully."
"According to my estimation, your funds and shares in the past few years should be enough. If not, I will help you with it temporarily. ”
Xu Kong picked up the equity transfer contract on the table and was completely stunned. If you're not a buddy, why are you really planning to hand Feng Ge into his hands?
However, Xu Kong soon discovered that the shares transferred to him by the other party actually amounted to just over 38%, close to 40%.
...
"These are the shares that Lao Zhu held before, as well as those of some shareholders of the company who left with him..."
"They sold them in advance, and now Feng Ge's The stock price has fallen sharply. If you think about it, I still made a bit of a loss on my previous purchase."
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, and then he confirmed one thing.
That was Zhu Changyun's plan. As expected, the other party had known about it in advance.
Otherwise, these shares would not be directly recovered.
The transfer price is probably over one billion.
Even if Fengge's stock price has fallen to its lowest point, this price is definitely still too cheap.
Of course, for Xu Kong now, income from previous dramas, plus various miscellaneous copyrights, commercial performances, and endorsements.
And the box office share of "Sweet Honey" this time will definitely be enough.
But when Xu Kong saw the contract before, he really thought for a moment that the other party would give it to him for free.
Of course, what Xu Kong didn’t know was that Song Fuquan did have similar thoughts when he first started.
However, he did not do this later, because only by letting Xu Kong’s money be invested in Fengge could the other party really regard the company as his own.
And for a long time to come, for Fengge Film and Television, it will indeed be a time to spend money.
……
"Don't want to take this mess?"
"Afraid of being fooled by me?"
Seeing Xu Kong's hesitation, Song Fuquan asked with a smile.
Xu Kong shook his head and denied it directly.
No matter how severely damaged Feng Ge is this time, his foundation is still there after all, and there is no so-called financial problem.
Song Fuquan will definitely lose money in this equity transfer contract.
To other investors and so on, there will probably be a bunch of people rushing to sign.
The most important thing is that Song Fuquan's move was obviously a well-prepared operation, which made Xu Kong realize that Fengge seemed to be in a big crisis, but it was estimated that everything was still under the other party's control. among.
"I'm just curious, Uncle Song, what are you preparing for?"
Zhu Changyun must have had the idea to leave Fengge and go it alone, or even directly stab him in the back. Yes.
Even Song Fuquan is unlikely to be able to control this.
After all, the other party has tampered with the contracts of many veteran artists in the company over the years, so you know it has been planned for a long time.
But since Song Fuquan discovered Zhu Changyun’s thoughts and plans, why not stop them?
Just watching helplessly, Feng Ge, who had worked so hard for most of his life, suddenly collapsed?
……
"You want to ask, since I already know this, why don't I stop it?"
Song Fuquan asked with a smile.
Xu Kong nodded.
“Why should I stop it?”
“What do you think Feng Ge was like before?”
Xu Kong recalled it.
In the previous style, the company almost brought together a large number of first- and second-tier artists in the industry, as well as a number of movie kings and queens, as well as well-known directors and screenwriters.
One of the big brothers in the entire industry.
Many newcomers are even proud of being able to successfully sign with Feng Ge.
I feel that my future is bright.
...
But if you think about it carefully, there are actually too many artists under Feng Ge.
Originally, the limited resources allocated by the old man are not enough. In addition, it is impossible for the company to not train new people at all, so it is certain that there will be too many people.
But this is the case in the entire entertainment industry. Fierce and even cruel competition is the norm.
In addition, Xu Kong also realized it after Song Fuquan reminded him.
Although Fengge seemed to be prosperous at the time, in fact, a group of middle and high-level executives headed by Zhu Changyun had obviously been sleeping with each other for a long time.
As long as you have that kind of mentality, it is only a matter of time before this stab in the back takes away most of Feng Ge's family fortune.
In addition, veteran artists such as those under Fengge really lack motivation as they get older.
Before the company, we could see a lot of actors hanging around when they had nothing to do.
It is nothing more than that I have completely accepted that it is impossible for my career to go further in the future.
It simply started to look bad, and even when filming, it was treated as if the task had been completed.
Anyway, relying on the fame accumulated in the past, I have already achieved financial freedom long ago.
......
This time, it was Song Fuquan's turn to look at Xu Kong in a different light.
He did not expect that Xu Kong’s analysis was similar to his thoughts in many aspects.
"I have indeed known it for a long time, and I deliberately did not stop Lao Zhu."
Song Fuquan didn't seem to have much resentment towards Zhu Changyun, and he still looked like an old friend for many years.
“His character is like that, and he will never be willing to stay below others.”
“So being able to stay in Fengge until now is enough to surprise me.”< br>
Xu Kong didn’t have much affection for Zhu Changyun.
But he also knew that he and Song Fuquan had known each other longer than he was.
Now that people are middle-aged, or even about to retire, they suddenly turn against each other, which really makes people sigh and sigh.
......
“But at the same time, I also realized that this might be a good opportunity.”
“Just like you said, Feng Ge has developed Over the years, the scale has increased, and in the end, the bloat was beyond my control.”
"And I also know in my heart that if this continues, Feng Ge may not have a chance to go further."
"So I suddenly felt that Lao Zhu's idea was quite good."
"No destruction, no establishment, only Only by completely giving up the previous Feng Ge and giving up the superstars that we have become famous one by one can the company achieve my original goal."
At this point, Zhu Changyun suddenly no longer looked like an ordinary person. An indistinguishable middle-aged man.
The other party's ambition has never disappeared.
Even Xu Kong has heard this many times.
It is said that when Song Fuquan was young, he was completely fearless.
From the first day of establishing Fengge Film and Television, even though it was still a company with only a dozen people and one contracted artist, Song Fuquan’s goal was to make his company the only giant to dominate the industry.
These stories are indeed quite inspiring when they sound like them.
I just met Song Fuquan at that time, and the other person left him with the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man, which was hard to imagine.
Then at this moment, the person in the story finally overlapped perfectly with Song Fuquan in reality.
......
“Of course, I have hesitated before.”
“After all, it’s easy to say it all over again, but when it comes to anyone, I don’t feel confident. "
Song Fuquan paused for a moment and looked at Xu Kong in front of him.
Suddenly continued:
“But your appearance really made me firm up my ideas.”
