NOVEL FROG Chapter 23
"Two beauties, what are you doing?"
Li Jiang asked curiously, looking at the two girls with red eyes carrying cardboard boxes.
Zhang Xiaohan was a famous singer after watching"The Voice of Qing People". He had heard of Lin Qingmeng before. Although she rarely appeared on the show in the past two years, Li Jiang had investigated her and recognized her at a glance.
"Please make way."Lin Qingmeng was in no mood to talk nonsense with him. Her car was mortgaged and the taxi she called was waiting downstairs.
"I have something to ask Mr. Lin, would you please do me a favor?"Li Jiang straightened his tight suit and smiled calmly.
"If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I am in a hurry."Lin Qingmeng frowned. She didn't know this fat man.
"Investment matters cannot be explained in a few words. Can we go in and talk slowly?"Li Jiang still had a calm expression.
It must be said that with his body shape and the outfit he wore today, he really looked like the real deal.
"Investment?" Lin Qingmeng looked at Li Jiang in surprise. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she shook her head gently and said,"Sorry, I don't accept any capital investment."
With that, she was ready to leave.
"Things are not absolute."Li Jiang took a step forward, and his fat body blocked the two girls.
"We are an investment company that respects dreams"
"Dream?"
Lin Qingmeng heard these two words, and a hint of sneer hung on the corner of his mouth,"This joke is not funny at all."
Capital is profit-seeking, without any exception.
In the eyes of capital, dreams do not exist at all, and profit is the most important thing.
"I understand your company's current situation. Please give me a few minutes, Mr. Lin. I believe you will be very grateful for this choice." Li Jiang chuckled.
Lin Qingmeng frowned,"You investigate us?"
"As a professional investor, I naturally have to investigate the investment target."Li Jiang did not hide anything and said very generously.
At this time, Lin Qingmeng's phone rang.
It was the Didi driver downstairs calling
"Sorry, I still have some things to deal with." After Lin Qingmeng answered the call, she apologized to the driver.
Li Jiang saw this and raised his mouth slightly.
……
Inside the company,
Chen Qi and his friends saw that Lin Qingmeng had returned, followed by a fat man. They were originally sad, but suddenly became confused.
""Hanhan, who is this fat guy?" Chen Qi asked hurriedly when he saw Zhang Xiaohan coming in.
"He seems to be from some investment company." Zhang Xiaohan said
"Investment company?"Xue Liang frowned,"Hasn't Mr. Lin always been against investment companies?"
Lin Qingmeng opened the Star Dream Studio with the purpose of staying away from capital and giving artists a piece of pure land.
Although from now on, she seems a little overconfident.
But according to Lin Qingmeng's personality, she will not let capital get involved no matter what.
"I heard him say that he is different from ordinary investors."Zhang Xiaohan just heard a general idea outside and didn't know the specific reason. She didn't know much about the company. She just heard this fat man say that he would not let Lin Qingmeng down.
"In fact, if someone invests, Mr. Lin will be under much less pressure."Although Xue Liang is very unhappy with capital, he knows that in this world, only capital can fight against capital.
Moreover, reality has also dealt them a heavy blow. With just a few of them, they have no resources and no money. It is harder than climbing to the sky to become popular in the domestic entertainment industry.
However, as employees, they can only wait for the boss to talk.
It was Lin Qingmeng who made the final decision.
……
In the office,
Lin Qingmeng sat on the sofa.
Opposite her sat Li Jiang.
"Boss Lin won't even give me water to drink?" Li Jiang saw her serious expression and couldn't help but make a joke.
"Gillian, pour a glass of water. Lin Qingmeng shouted to the assistant outside.
""Okay, boss!" Gillian quickly replied and ran to the water dispenser to get some water.
Li Jiang's mouth twitched. This woman knew that she was here to invest, but she didn't even do the superficial work. Is she so casual?
"Boss Lin, our company is called Xingchen Investment. We are looking for you this time mainly because we think your company is very good and want to discuss investment with you."Li Jiang sat up straight, cleared his throat and got straight to the point.
""You're still saying it's good when it's almost closed?" Lin Qingmeng answered casually.
Li Jiang's smile froze.
He touched his nose awkwardly."
You're really honest."
If it were someone else, they would probably brag about how great their company is to raise their own capital after hearing that they were going to invest.
"When you start a company, it is inevitable that there will be difficulties, and we are here to help your company overcome the difficulties."Li Jiang showed an awkward and impolite smile
""Don't talk so high-soundingly, tell me your plan, let me see how you respect dreams." Lin Qingmeng sneered.
If Li Jiang hadn't said"they are an investment company that respects dreams", Lin Qingmeng would definitely choose to ignore it directly.
Although she didn't believe Li Jiang's words, but hearing the word"dream" from the mouth of a capitalist, she felt that she should give the other party a chance to talk to her.
""Okay, I'll get straight to the point."
Li Jiang took a deep breath and took out a stack of printed materials from his briefcase.
It contained the investment plan for this time.
"The initial investment amount is 10 million, which will be increased or decreased according to the situation later."
"Moreover, the business model of our Xingchen Investment is different from that of other investment companies on the market. We only invest money and do not participate in the management of the company. That is to say, if Boss Lin agrees to our investment, you will still be the boss of Xingmeng Studio, and everything in the company will remain the same as before. There will be no changes. Of course, major decisions still need to be informed by Boss Lin and us."
Li Jiang opened the business plan and explained it to Lin Qingmeng.
When Lin Qingmeng heard that he would not participate in the management of the company, he looked up at Li Jiang with a look of surprise.
"Of course, we pay the money and bear the risks, so Xingchen Investment should take the lion's share of the profits. My initial idea is to split it 20% to 80%, so Xingchen will take 80% of the profits. What do you think, Boss Lin?"
Li Jiang left himself a way out. The bottom line for him and Su He was 30% to 70%, so when negotiating the price, he quoted a higher price first, so that there would be room for negotiation.
"Boss Lin……"Seeing Lin Qingmeng in a daze, Li Jiang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
"Oh, sorry." Lin Qingmeng reacted,"Any additional conditions?""
"No." Li Jiang smiled and shook his head
"Are you sure?" Lin Qingmeng asked suspiciously.
"Of course, it will be clearly stated in the contract that if Boss Lin does not trust us, he can hire a lawyer to carefully check the contract."When Li Jiang heard this, he knew that the other party was tempted, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If it's really like what you said, I can only take 10%!"Unexpectedly, Lin Qingmeng suddenly spoke
"Ah this……"
Li Jiang, who had already made preparations for bargaining, was suddenly confused.
There was actually a reverse bargaining operation?
"Why?"Li Jiang was screwed.
"You invest in dreams, we fulfill dreams, the share is not important."Lin Qingmeng's attitude softened a lot.
If it was really like what the fat man said, then the company would not have any impact on the employees except for becoming rich.
Of course, her status as a boss would be reduced, and if the company really succeeded in the future, her income would also be reduced.
But now the company is about to close, and she also knows that with her ability, it is impossible to make it.
Now someone has invested in Xingmeng Studio, and they only give money. Except for major decisions, they will not interfere in the company's affairs, allowing them to develop freely. For Lin Qingmeng and the company's several artists, this is undoubtedly a great thing!
