Chapter 312 Coal Boss 2
"What's wrong with you? You start to get arguable after just a few words. You are usually not very talkative. Why can't you speak in front of my dad?" Wang Yidi started to complain about his problems as soon as he entered the door.
"Sorry, I was wrong."
Chen Jinnian's attitude just now was indeed problematic. He shouldn't have treated Wang Dazhuang with such resistance. At least Wang Yidi did better than his son when getting along with his parents.
But Wang Dazhuang's identity really made it difficult for him to regard the other party as just Wang Yidi's father. No matter what the other party did or said, Chen Jinnian would subconsciously wonder which identity Wang Dazhuang was speaking with.
Is it the father? Or the CEO of the company?
If he is the father, then it is indeed easy to discuss. He is sincere to Wang Yidi, and sooner or later they will become a family. Then everything will be family affairs, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
But if the other party is the CEO of a company and is targeting his company's shares, it would be no different from putting a knife to his neck.
Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish these two identities too clearly. A wealthy boss like Qiao Weidong does not always consider things from the father's perspective when doing things or even handling household affairs. Otherwise, he would not have broken up with Xiao Meng and even gave up the baby in her belly.
What about Wang Dazhuang? He is even more ruthless than Qiao Weiding. He doesn't even care about his wife and daughter, and devotes himself wholeheartedly to his career. Although it is impossible for him not to love Wang Yidi, when comparing Wang Yidi with his own career, the answer to which is more important has actually been known.
Enrollment, parent-teacher meetings, birthdays, and even the college entrance examination, Wang Dazhuang was absent from all of Wang Yidi's important time points. How could Chen Jinnian not be wary of this typical economic animal?
After hearing his apology, Wang Yidi walked up to him, hugged his waist, and expressed his complicated emotions in a soft voice.
"I'm not saying you're wrong. In fact, I know my dad has problems too. His love has always been rational and cold. He always considers the cost and price before doing anything. Even though I don't like him, he's still my dad after all. I don't want to see a strained relationship between you two. I'll be caught in the middle."
Wang Yidi actually envied fathers like Chen Ming or Fang Yuan, who could joke with him, meet him at any time, and support him without asking for anything in return.
"Don't worry, I'm a professional. From now on, I'll perform for you a happy scene."
Chen Jinnian hugged Wang Yidi tightly, stroking her soft back, wanting to rub her into his body and protect her from the wind and rain.
Wang Yidi's body responded instinctively. She lifted her long, beautiful legs and hooked them around his waist, then raised her head and waited for what would happen next.
But a series of footsteps interrupted their actions. After looking at each other, they immediately separated. Wang Yidi ran to the wardrobe, pushed open the door, and pretended to choose clothes. Chen Jinnian sat on the edge of the bed to assist.
When Wang Qing came in, she saw Wang Yidi holding a coat in front of him and measuring it. She asked, "What do you think of this one? Does it look good on me?"
Chen Jinnian smoothly shifted his gaze from Wang Yidi to Wang Qing who had just entered the room, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to us about?"
After Wang Qing glanced at the two of them, she cast a faint glance at the neatly made bed and smiled calmly: "Alright, what are you trying to do in front of me? Didi, tell me what you talked about with your dad."
"Mom, how did you know I was acting?" Wang Yidi threw the clothes in her hands onto the bed in disappointment. She thought her performance was fine, so how come she was still seen through at a glance.
Wang Qing walked over and gently poked her daughter's forehead. "I raised you, how could I not understand you? Every time you look for clothes, you have to search through them all, leaving the bed piled high with carelessly thrown clothes."
Chen Jinnian spread his hands helplessly. This was indeed the way Wang Yidi looked for clothes, so he usually helped her find them at home, for fear that she would throw the clothes everywhere.
Wang Yidi accepted his fate, took Wang Qing's hand, and recounted what had just happened in the study. However, he did not say it too bluntly, and concealed the contention between the two. He simply summarized that the disagreements in the company were too great, and in the end they had to part ways unhappily.
"Hey, I thought it was something tricky, but it turns out it's all about money. Don't worry, Jinnian, I can handle it for you. Just wait for me."
After Wang Qing finished speaking, she left in a hurry, went to the master bedroom on the second floor to get two bank cards, and came back to put them in Wang Yidi's hand.
"I've deposited money in two banks, and it's due at the end of the year. You can use it. The principal and interest will be over 9 million. You don't have to pay it back. Jinnian has a company, right? Just convert it into shares and put your name on it."
Wang Yidi was stunned. She had never thought her mother had such a large sum of cash. Her father, Wang Dazhuang, was rich, but it was all in stocks, funds, and options. He didn't actually have much cash. She quickly said, "Mom, it's too much. What are you going to do if you give it all to me?"
"Since Mom can give it to you, she must have some," Wang Qing said confidently. She then looked at Chen Jinnian and said, "You still have two projects that need investment, right? How much money do you need? Just tell me directly. I'll take you to a party tomorrow. We're all wealthy ladies with plenty of free time, so just scrape together some money."
"Ah, Coucou, they all understand scripts and investments."
"How is that possible? They're not even good at reading scripts, they even struggle to help children with their writing. They're just looking for something to do. But instead of being fooled by fund managers into investing blindly, why not invest your money with you? They don't ask for a profit, they just want a sense of participation. You can just organize visits to the set and take photos with the stars so they can post on WeChat Moments. So how much do you need?"
After listening to this, Chen Jinnian immediately understood that this was the era of coal bosses 2.0.
The investors in the domestic film and television industry were initially coal bosses, followed by real estate developers and Internet companies. However, unlike the latter two types of investors, coal bosses are very simple. They only ask for actresses and have no other requirements. Profits and losses do not matter at all.
He calculated the budgets for the two dramas. "The Beginning" is a web drama. Even if he wanted to shoot it as a high-quality product, the production cost of 15 episodes would not be high. The budget would depend entirely on his and Wang Yidi's pay. In addition, he could also get some money from the director's pay and the script.
The same is true for "Bad Genius", which is a medium-to-low-cost feature film with low production costs. The biggest investment may be the post-production promotion and marketing.
One film has a budget of 2000 million and the other has a budget of 3500 million. The company invests 55% of the budget. He can find other companies to make up the remaining share, but if he finds those rich ladies who have no demands, no one can interfere with his filming.
"1500 million." Chen Jinnian replied.
"No problem, it's not too much." Wang Qing agreed immediately and asked them to buy two slightly more formal clothes. As long as they were sweet-talking when they went there tomorrow and called her "sister" instead of "Auntie", she would be guaranteed to get the investment.
Chen Jinnian never thought that he could bring back a huge sum of money after coming to Shenzhen.
