Chapter 444 You are a big exporter
Huo Siqi took a long breath, letting out the burning heat in his chest, and then said, "Do you want to be so big? This is not your character."< br>
In Huo Siqi's impression, Zhou Yan is a relatively safe type of person.
Let’s talk about filming TV series. If Huo Siqi’s character is followed, Qizhi Company will have at least four or five TV series started filming at this time. After all, they have so much money lying around in their accounts and they don’t want to spend it. , always feeling uncomfortable.
Huo Siqi believes that money is money when it is spent, but it is just a number if it is not spent.
But Zhou Yan kept pressing, and so far, they have only filmed one film, "The Master of Tai Chi."
This speed really made Huo Siqi a little anxious.
If they continue at this pace, when will they become the boss of the domestic TV drama industry?
If Huo Siqi hadn't thought that Zhou Yan had a good sense of smell in the film and television industry, he would have quit working long ago.
It's better now. Zhou Yan changed his past style and directly asked for 50 million to invest in a movie.
Because of Zhou Yan, Huo Siqi also knew something about the movie "Titanic", but he only knew that the movie had a large investment and the director was famous. As for the specifics, he didn't know.
With Huo Siqi staring at him, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Because I think this is a good opportunity. The crew of "Titanic" has indeed encountered some troubles recently, but I think the profit of this movie will definitely be No problem.”
If someone else had said this, Huo Siqi would not have considered it and would definitely not have agreed. But Zhou Yan was different.
Putting aside their relationship, Zhou Yan has always proven his vision in the film and television industry.
So far, Zhou Yan has never suffered a loss... It's not as simple as never losing money. All the projects Zhou Yan has handled have made huge profits.
Huo Siqi did not respond immediately, but picked up a piece of braised beef from the table with his chopsticks, but did not bring it to his mouth, but put it into the bowl.
After a moment, he asked, "Is it possible to replicate the success of "The Sixth Sense"?"
Zhou Yan and the others made a lot of money by investing in "The Sixth Sense", but Huo Siqi Looking at it with greed.
"I can only say that it is possible, but regarding investment, I cannot say it is 100%."
Zhou Yan also gave Huo Siqi a dose of vaccination in advance to prevent it from happening later. The situation of losing money affects the friendship between them.
Now let’s talk the situation out, and if we lose, everyone will admit defeat.
"Of course I know this truth. Nothing in the world is 100% perfect." Huo Siqi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "It's done. As long as some money is left in our account, it won't affect the normal operation of the company." If it works, you can take the rest of the money, or we can start over again."
Huo Siqi is not stupid. Although the investment is huge this time, they make money very quickly, as long as they are tightly tied to the Zhou family. If we stay together, we won't have to worry about having no way to make money.
Furthermore, they only used the money they had already earned and did not borrow money to increase leverage. Even if they failed this time, they would still be much better than before.
Actually, the Zhou brothers already respected him very much. When they decided to form a partnership, he was only prepared to take 30% of the shares, but Zhou Hong and the others were determined to give him 100%. Thirty-five shares.
This five percent share may not seem like a lot, but it is very crucial.
For a company, if shareholders want to have absolute discretion, they need more than 67% of the shares.
If Huo Siqi only has 30% of the shares in Qizhi Company, and the Zhou brothers have 70% of the shares, then his consent is not required for any decision the Zhou brothers make.
Now that he has 35% of the shares, this situation has been eliminated. What decisions the Zhou brothers want to make cannot be decided directly.
Of course, it is precisely because of 35% of the shares that Huo Siqi is so dedicated to Qizhi.
If Huo Siqi hadn't used his connections to win a bunch of big customers for the company, how could they have obtained so much cash in such a short period of time?
“Qizhi must leave some money. I think there should be no problem if we leave 10 million.”
“There must be no problem if we leave 10 million. You know, back then, When we founded Qizhi, we only had a total of more than one million. "
To be precise, it was 1.12 million. Zhou Hong paid for the bulk of the million, and Zhou Yan paid for 100,000. , Huo Siqi paid 20,000.
In fact, even if Qizhi Company doesn't keep a dime, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, the company still has many unsettled accounts, and some short-term accounts are enough to maintain the normal operation of Qizhi.
Qizhi Company's daily consumption is very small. The largest expense is the rent of the office space, and they have already paid the rent for the next year.
The company does not employ many people, and the wages of most people are not high.
Because most of their company’s work is outsourced to Dong Wenmiao Studio, which is now independent of Qizhi, most of the designers’ fees are paid by Dong Wenmiao Miao is responsible for it.
To put it bluntly, Qizhi is just a handbag company, doing most of the work of brokers.
"Then we have settled this matter. I will tell my brother later."
"You haven't told your brother yet?" Huo Siqi was very surprised, but then he smiled and said, "That's right. If you told the second brother about this first, I'm afraid it won't be my share."
When he said this, Huo Siqi still felt a little resentful.
At that time, when investing in "The Sixth Sense", Zhou Yan also thought about asking Qizhi to participate, but Zhou Hong stopped this.
Zhou Hong's idea was very simple. After all, four million US dollars was not a small amount, and Qizhi Company didn't have a lot of cash at the time. There was no need to bring Huo Siqi in.
“My brother was also worried that the risk would be too great and you would lose money.” Zhou Yan also explained for his brother.
"Of course I understand this. How can I still not understand this guy?"
Of course Huo Siqi understands Zhou Hong, but it must be a pity that he didn't get on the bus with such a good opportunity.
This time Zhou Yan came to him. He was so decisive because he wanted to make up for his regrets.
Zhou Yan picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Huo Siqi, and then said, "Actually, the investment has not been finalized yet, and Fox has not confirmed that it will accept our investment. I just thought about the money. Make sure first, don’t wait until the actual negotiation.”
“Don’t worry, there will definitely be no problem on my side. However, the money on our account is not enough.”< br>
"It doesn't matter. I can still use about 10 million US dollars on hand."
"Then this adds up to more than 30 million US dollars, and there is still more than 10 million US dollars left. Are you Want to get it from Zhou Entertainment? "
"Well, Zhou Entertainment made a lot of money from investing in "The Sixth Sense". Although there is still a lot of money that has not been paid, it is more than 10 million US dollars. It can still be taken out.”
Zhou Entertainment originally had a lot of funds. When they invested in "The Sixth Sense", they directly invested four million US dollars in capital, and later received a lot of money. , more than ten million US dollars can definitely be obtained.
Huo Siqi nodded, "The next step is to think about how to get the money out."
"There's no need to rush. I predict that this matter will take at least until the end of the year. We have enough time to operate. Zhou's Entertainment already has more than 10 million outside, so there is no need to redeem this part." "Well, actually, the second child He knows a lot about these things, and he often operates them."
"Really?"
"Of course, your Zhou family's total foreign trade accounted for about 1% of the country's total last year. Two thousandths, making a lot of foreign exchange."
"What?" Zhou Yan opened his mouth in disbelief.
Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Huo Siqi laughed, "Don't you know all this? Otherwise, why do you think the second son doesn't think much of Qizhi's business? Because compared to the overall business of your Zhou family, Qizhi's The size is not enough.”
“It’s really two thousandths, not two thousandths?”
“It’s because your Zhou family is good at foreign trade. Very early, and our country's total foreign trade volume itself is not particularly high. Before this year, the pace of domestic foreign trade development was relatively slow. Last year, our country's total foreign trade volume was just over 1.2 trillion yuan, and your Zhou family's total foreign trade volume was just over 1,200 billion yuan. "More than two billion yuan."
Speaking of this, Huo Siqi took a peanut and put it in his mouth. While chewing it, he said, "Domestic foreign trade has developed slowly in the past few years. Your Zhou family left. It’s relatively early, so the proportion is okay. However, the proportion may not be the same in the future, because the country has vigorously developed foreign trade in recent years, and the export data in the next few years will definitely be much higher.”
Generally speaking. , driving the economy depends on the troika, investment, consumption and exports. China's economic development in the past few years mainly relied on investment.
Especially since the early 1990s, the domestic economy has developed rapidly through investment, with the growth rate reaching more than 60% in 1993.
The only remaining part of the troika is exports, and the country must find ways to do so.
Fortunately, because we invested a lot in the past and built many factories, we have the basic conditions for exporting goods.
Because domestic demand is too weak, there is a certain sense of excess production capacity, and this excess production capacity must be converted into money through exports.
However, Zhou Yan knows that China's export data may not see significant growth in the past few years because the financial crisis is coming.
When everyone has no money, who will buy Chinese things?
The development of China's exports will probably not take off until after it joins the WTO.
Zhou Yan just didn't expect that their exports would be so large, with an export volume of more than 2 billion a year. He just didn't know how much profit they could make from this export volume of more than 2 billion.
No wonder when he wanted to invest in "The Sixth Sense", his second brother spent four million U.S. dollars without blinking an eye.
Maybe Zhou Hong can still come up with the $50 million this time without any effort.
However, Zhou Yan believed that Huo Siqi should be brought with him in this matter. After all, Huo Siqi had a lot of connections in Yanjing, and Huo Siqi might be needed to help with many things later.
Now that the matter was settled, Zhou Yan didn't say anything more and started pushing cups and changing cups with Huo Siqi again.
However, both of them were relatively restrained in drinking. After finishing a bottle of wine, they did not open another bottle.
The two of them drink half a catty, which is just right. They feel a little tipsy but not uncomfortable.
If another bottle is opened and each person drinks a pound, Zhou Yan will probably collapse.
The Dongjiu that Huo Siqi brought today is quite strong.
After drinking, the two held a cup of tea respectively and sat on the sofa chatting.
Huo Siqi suggested, "How about calling the second brother now and telling him about the matter?"
Zhou Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."< br>
Then he picked up the phone next to him and dialed Zhou Hong.
The number he dialed was Zhou Hong's office. After a few rings, someone answered. It was a girl's voice.
“Who?”
Zhou Yan immediately recognized the other party’s voice, “Are you Assistant Li?”
The other party was stunned for a moment, “Who are you? ”
“I am Zhou Yan”
"Oh, you are Mr. Zhou's brother. He has gone to the bathroom and will be back soon. Don't hang up the phone. Wait a moment." Li Qiu's voice became obviously enthusiastic.
A gossipy smile appeared on Zhou Yan’s face.
Earlier, he called Zhou Hong's residence, and it was Li Qiu who answered the phone. At that time, Zhou Yan teased Zhou Hong for taking his assistant home.
But at that time Zhou Yan just teased him casually and didn't take it seriously.
But now it seems that things are not that simple.
Zhou Hong has not changed assistants in several years. The key is that he did not see this female assistant when he went to Pengcheng before.
If it was really a female assistant, how could it be possible that I didn’t see her last time I went to the company?
Huo Siqi also noticed the expression on Zhou Yan's face and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. My brother went to the bathroom and will be back soon. Let's wait for a while. ."
"Oh."
Li Qiu, who was on the opposite side, said at this time, "Zhou Yan, I heard that your brother said that you just won the grand prize recently. Congratulations."
Zhou Yan curled his lips, and the speculation in his heart deepened.
As an assistant, did Zhou Hong tell her about this? This is not Zhou Hong’s character.
Moreover, Li Qiu directly called him Zhou Yan, which was not reasonable at all. Generally, employees call him either Mr. Zhou or Teacher Zhou, and basically no one calls him by his first name.
This Li Qiu might really be his second sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Sister Qiu, how are you doing recently? I have time to come to Yanjing with my brother to play.
Li Qiu was a little confused when Zhou Yan called him Sister Qiu. He sighed and said, "I want to play, but Zhou Hong is too busy. ”
The smile on Zhou Yan’s lips could no longer be suppressed. Li Qiu didn’t even call him Mr. Zhou, but called Zhou Hong directly. Only a ghost would believe it if there was nothing wrong between the two of them.
