Chapter 480 It is necessary to keep a low profile

The next morning, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting went out for a rare run together. They ran around the villa area twice before returning home.

After the two of them went upstairs to take a shower, they went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Sister Lu is now optimistic about a large-scale film project and plans to join it. We have discussed it within the company. I personally have reservations, but she is very optimistic. Maybe in the next two days, she will ask you about it. Opinions.”

After a few bites of breakfast, Wu Mengting started talking to Chen Feng about business.

Chen Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, Wu Mengting is still his personal assistant in name. Chen Feng, the boss, usually knows some things about the company through chatting with her and Sun Xiaorui.

Chen Feng asked as usual: "What film project? Who is leading it?"

Wu Mengting replied: "It is led by China Film Company. It is a large-scale war film. There have been There are several investors, and the total investment amount is about It costs 1.5 billion, and there are currently many companies that have expressed strong interest in this movie and want to be involved. In short, this project is a good one, and according to Sister Lu, ordinary film and television companies are really not qualified to participate in this kind of project. For big projects, she also left because of internal connections. , In addition, our company has now produced two hit TV series, and we are somewhat famous in the industry, so people are willing to let us participate, otherwise we are really not qualified."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked: "Then what she plans to do. How much money do you want the company to invest?”
 "The minimum is 50 million, otherwise they won't take you to play. If possible, we offer 100 million. She believes that for this big project, because the National Film Company is taking the lead, it will basically make a profit without losing money. Therefore, it is suggested that we We can strive for 100 million.”

After hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, our company is still a small business, so we should just do our own thing. There is no need to try to get the support of the National Film Company. Besides, investing 100 million at a time is too risky, and the rewards are too great." Cycle time is also a problem. Although our company is not short of money, we can’t make such a fuss.”

Wu Mengting. Hearing what Chen Feng said, he couldn't help but smile. He nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I am also opposed to this investment project, but I can't tell Sister Lu openly in the company, so I can only reserve it." After all, she is the general manager. On the surface, I still have to respect her. I understand and support her desire to make our company bigger and stronger, but she chose this time. This investment project is a bit radical and risky."

Sun Xiaorui, who was having breakfast with them, rarely said at this time: "Compared with big companies like Guoying, our Fengmang Film and Television is still relatively weak. Since this big project is so popular, it must have been targeted by many big companies in the industry. If we want to grab a share, we will definitely win it by then. I blame many of my colleagues. Also, I am worried that when the time comes to divide the box office accounts, those big companies will play tricks or drag on the bills. As a small company, we do not have the strength and means to check and balance those big companies, so it is better not to deal with them. . ”

Sun Xiaorui’s words seemed to undermine others’ ambitions, but they must be said to be the truth. They, Edge Film and Television, really don't have any powerful backstage or official stakes, so they won't have any means to seek justice if they are cheated.

At present, the only person in the company who can be considered successful is Li Shengping's relationship. But Li Shengping can also provide some convenience to Fengmang Film and Television in the review of TV series in Donghai Province, and it must be within the rules.

As for movies, Fengmang Film and Television, a company established less than a year ago, really doesn’t have much background.

If you participate in those large-scale projects, you will probably be cheated and lose all your money in the end.

But then again, Lu Sijia is considered a veteran in the industry, so it is impossible that she does not understand this principle, but why does she still insist on doing it?

Chen Feng asked this question.

Wu Mengting said: "Listen to what Sister Lu means, her husband, a university teacher, is a senior executive at the National Film Company, and he happens to be in charge of this big project this time."

This is the teacher's husband. Their relationship sounds close to each other, but for such a big project, Chen Feng still feels that he can't take risks and must be safe. In addition, Chen Feng did not want his company to enter the film industry in such a hurry and increase its exposure too much.

Tronzi died first in his early years, and Chen Feng himself did not have a strong background, so it was necessary to keep a low profile. Otherwise, we don’t know how we will die in the future.

At this stage, making a fortune in silence is the basic tone.

"I'll call her later and tell her more about this."

Chen Feng is the boss of the company after all, and Lu Sijia still works for him even if she has dividend shares. Chen Feng couldn't really just ignore everything.

Especially when it involves such a large amount of investment funds, he must communicate with Lu Sijia.

"Well, talk to her carefully. She is still very capable at work, and the original intention of her investment plan is to make money for the company, so you should speak tactfully and don't argue with her. "

Wu Mengting also knew how important Lu Sijia was to the company, so she gave Chen Feng a special warning.

Chen Feng nodded and said no more.

After breakfast, Chen Feng took out his mobile phone and called Lu Sijia.

Today is Saturday, around eight o'clock in the morning. Lu Sijia rarely sleeps in at home, but she is woken up by Chen Feng's phone call.

When she saw it was Chen Feng’s number, she reluctantly answered the call.

"Sijia, are you free tonight? Come to my house for dinner."

Chen Feng, the boss, gave her a rare invitation.

After Lu Sijia was stunned for a moment, she realized what she was doing and said with a smile: "Okay. I haven't been a guest at your place for a long time, and I haven't had home-cooked food for a long time. I'll go there in the evening, no, I'll go in the afternoon. Right. Mengting and Xiaorui should welcome me?”

"Of course. I haven't seen you for a while and I want to see you."

"No!" Lu Sijia said quickly, "Don't say such words to me that can easily be misunderstood. Why do you want to see me? I If I misunderstood you, you have to take responsibility."

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Okay. Just be responsible, as long as you are willing." This is a meaningful statement. , Lu Sijia's still somewhat confused mind immediately came to her senses, and she immediately switched to Lushi dialect and said to Chen Feng: "Boss, it's okay. I work for you, not to tease you."

Chen Feng also switched to Lushi dialect and cried out: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't tease you. I just told the truth."

"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about this anymore. I understand you. You can't invite me to dinner suddenly for no reason, and you can't call me this early in the morning. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

As expected, Lu Sijia knew Chen Feng, a fellow boss, quite well.

Chen Feng laughed and said without hiding anything: "This morning Mengting and the others told me about the big movie project you want to invest in. After I heard about it, I felt that our company is now in a small position. For small businesses, it’s better not to force yourself to cooperate with those big movie studios. If one is not qualified enough, then the other will be. I'm afraid of being cheated by those big factories. You should know what I mean."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Lu Sijia was not angry and explained: "Boss, I understand your concerns. . But we have a rare opportunity this time. The person in charge of this big project happens to be my master. My graduate supervisor’s husband, I have a very good relationship with my supervisor and my master. I used to go to their house to eat and drink. Their daughter and I are still best friends and have always been in contact. The news about this project this time is also My best friend revealed it to me

Later, I asked my best friend. I went to my master to find out more about it, and then I contacted him personally and got his permission. In addition, this large-scale war film can be said to be the main theme of the film. The company won't say how much it will make, but it will certainly not lose money.

In addition, I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with those major film studios and take the opportunity to establish good relationships with them, so that our company can smoothly enter the film field and expand contacts and channel relationships. This is very important for the future development of our company. ”

What Lu Sijia said makes sense. From the perspective of the general manager of her company, she did this for the good of the company. Moreover, she also said that it is almost impossible to lose money on this project. And it is possible to make money, and at the same time, he can use this project to build relationships with major companies such as China Film Company.

Chen Feng was a little tempted at first, but soon he felt that it was something like China Film Company. Very unnecessary.

His original intention of starting the company was to "launder money" and give him a reasonable explanation for his sudden wealth. Later, the company turned out to be very profitable, and his original intention was achieved

The secondary purpose is to let this company make money for himself, and now it is indeed making money, so why is he trying to make himself uncomfortable by involving those complicated interpersonal relationships and interests?

Making money in a low-key manner and getting rich in silence, isn't it delicious?

So, Chen Feng just hesitated for two seconds and said: "Your idea is very good. You want to make our company bigger and stronger. But don't forget, after all, our company has only been established a few years ago. Months. And there is actually no need to be so aggressive and outstanding for the time being. We are just in the TV series. Have fun. If there is a suitable opportunity, consider investing in some small-budget movies instead of participating in big projects worth more than one billion. We are currently too small to afford those big guys.”
 After Lu Sijia was silent for a while, she asked: "Do you think it is too risky to invest hundreds of millions of dollars at once?"

Chen Feng admitted frankly He admitted: "There are reasons for this, but the main reason is that I think we should not stand out too much at the moment. Keeping a low profile is the way to go. In addition, to put it harshly, is your master really worthy of your 100% trust? Still With such a big project, can he really have full control? I'm not saying that he deliberately cheated you and our company, but there are many variables and conflicts of interest that we don't need to take risks.

As for establishing relationships with big companies like China Film Company, I don’t think it’s necessary to be tough, not to mention that in business, most of the time. It's not about human morality. Even if we have a good relationship with them, can they give us money for free?

At present, the general direction of our company is to steadily produce TV series. In addition, we are trying to find ways to promote several of our contracted artists and make money from them. In addition, if the script is suitable, you can consider investing in some low-budget movies. I know you are very ambitious, but don't be too impatient. The meal must be eaten in one bite. "

After Lu Sijia was silent for a longer time this time, she sighed and said, "Okay. You convinced me. It seems that I am a little overjoyed now and feel that our company is very powerful. But in fact, as you said, our company has only been established for a few months and has insufficient foundation. It really needs to be steady and steady. This billion-dollar project is indeed risky and lacks stability. I review it to you. "

Seeing that she had listened to his words, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile. He said with a smile: "You don't have to be so formal and serious. We just talk and communicate casually. Come over early in the afternoon and we can get together. "

"Then why don't I go over there for lunch? Otherwise, I would still have to order takeout. "Lu Sijia was not polite either.

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Okay. Then come over at noon. Come and relax at my place. Don't you really appreciate my swimming pool? You can come over and spend an afternoon in the swimming pool today. ”

"Haha, I've been waiting for your words. I'll be there later."

......

After Chen Feng hung up the phone, he looked at Sun and Wu and said with a smile: "Successfully convinced her. In addition, she may arrive in a while and will have dinner with us at noon. There is also a swimming pool."

The two girls Sun and Wu looked at each other. Behind the eyes, Wu Mengting said: "Then our place will be lively today. Later, Xiaorui's brother and his girlfriend will also come over."

After hearing what she said, Chen Feng remembered this. , and said with a smile: "It's better to have more people and be more lively. In the past, when you went to work, I stayed at home alone, and sometimes it seemed too quiet."

When Sun Xiaorui heard what Chen Feng said, she felt relieved. She nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. The three of us live in such a big house, and sometimes it feels too spacious and quiet."

Wu Mengting looked at Chen Feng , said with a smile: "How about you find two more women to live in with you?"
 Chen Feng did not answer her words and asked instead: "Didn't you often invite Scarlett to come here to play? Why did it almost never happen after that?"

After the two women looked at each other, Finally, it was Wu Mengting who spoke up and said: "Our relationship with her was relatively good at the beginning, but later Because there have been a lot of disputes over some specific matters in the company, including personnel appointments and dismissals, although our relationship with her is not at odds, it is not as harmonious as it was at the beginning. Of course she is embarrassed to take the initiative to come to us again. As a guest, we didn’t invite her over again.”
Chen Feng was not surprised by this, so he nodded and said: "I think the relationship between you and her should not be too tense. It is best to distinguish between public and private affairs. Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. No matter what happens in public affairs, If there are disputes and conflicts, it is best not to bring them into each other’s private lives.”

Wu Mengting shook her head and said: "It's easy to talk about public and private matters, but how many people can actually do it? We can only try our best. Fortunately, we all know that although everyone usually has disputes, it is enough, and we do it for the good of the company. Out of public interest."

Chen Feng couldn't say anything about this. Originally, Chen Feng brought them into the company to check and balance Lu Sijia. If the three of them were harmonious, he, the boss, would feel a little bad.
