Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 42
In Qiu Degen’s office of ATV, several senior executives are waiting for Qiu Degen’s decision.
Luo Junyan’s affairs have been dragged on before the Spring Festival, and today we must finalize the opinions on how to deal with him. But Qiu Degen still didn’t express his opinion. Every time he mentioned Luo Junyan, he felt very stuck in his heart.
Qiu Degen never expected that Luo Junyan’s conspiracy to design the revenge of the female ghost in Tianyuan Mansion would be revealed to the world so quickly, it would be abnormal for him not to get stuck in his heart.
First of all, Tianyuan Building was able to resume normal operations soon, and Qiu Degen this time was equivalent to helping Luo Junyan get a bridging fund. According to the standard of bridge funds, the use period of those two years was too long, and the loan interest was simply not worth mentioning.
The key is that Qiu Degen doesn’t have to expect to be able to pick up the bargain.
Secondly, Luo Junyan has indeed done evil deeds that violate social moral standards.
But at the legal level, Luo really couldn’t weave a serious crime to sue him. If he was younger, it would make sense to say that he did a prank once. And Luo Junyan is not bad for money, so as long as he asks a barrister to come forward, he can easily handle it. There are still loopholes in the law.
Since there is no illegal or criminal offence, which party voluntarily asks for termination of the contract, which party needs to pay compensation.
In the end, no matter how ATV handles Luo Junyan, it will provoke a large audience. His supporters and opponents are scolding on the street.
Qiu Degen finally said: “For the time being, I won’t terminate the contract, and I can’t completely hide it. Arrange for him a new agent, pick him up some small roles in film and television dramas, and make money from his monthly salary.”
When Luo Junyan received the notification from ATV, he felt surprised. If the human set collapsed like this, can ATV bear it? All right, anyway, I have been busy with the renting of Tianyuan Building recently, and I have a salary for leisure time, which is also very beautiful.
Luo Junyan followed the advice of investment consultant Kwong Meiyun and first changed the name of Tianyuan Building.
Under the coercive and coercive coercion of Brother Cheng as the master and Luo Meizi as the old sister, Tianyuan Building was renamed Snowman Times Building.
Snowman Times Advertising became the first leasing owner to settle in after the reopening of the building. Lease a full top floor on the 17th floor of the building, and the lease term is 10 years. Of course, in terms of rent, Brother Cheng wouldn’t pay a cent.
The condition given by Cheng is to expand the management and logistics team of the Snowman Era as soon as possible. While running the advertising company, he will work hard to operate and maintain the Snowman Era Building for Luo Junyan. He can even serve as the general manager in person, and he does not take any money.
Brother Cheng promised that all the funds needed for the restart of the Snowman Times Building will be provided by the Snowman Times advertisement, and Luo Junyan only needs to pay half of the salary for the operating team shared by both parties in the future.
Brother Cheng’s statement is that Luo Junyan made money while lying down. As for who are the members of the operating team shared by both parties? Anyway, none of the employees whose advertisements are on the list of Snowman Times can be left behind.
Look at the win-win business thinking of Cheng Ge. Of course, the Snowman era advertising can save at least more than 2 million luxury office space rents and half of staff salaries a year, which was only in 1983.
Luo Junyan had never agreed to give the top layer to the Snowman Era for nothing. After asking Kuang Meiyun, he immediately agreed.
Because operating and managing a building is not easy. If Luo Junyan wants to run his own business, in addition to hiring professional management personnel, there are also a series of personnel teams for finance, maintenance, security, investment, reception, planning, design and so on.
If Luo Junyan really wants to do this, he can basically say goodbye to his acting career.
Brother Cheng had spent so much effort to force Luo Junyan to agree to his request after careful consideration.
The Snowman Era will soon enter the mainland to open up business. At that time, it will definitely invite comrades and important customers from the mainland to visit the company headquarters in Hong Kong. Brother Cheng has a clear idea of the mainland political and business people in the early stage of reform and opening up. In the eyes of these people, whether there was a high-standard, town-like headquarters building in the Snowman era, which played a more important role in business negotiations than you did. Advertising programs are much more important.
Brother Cheng moved very quickly. The shops in the Snowman Times Building were rented out before the Spring Festival was over, and they were all big-brand companies. The most indispensable thing in Snowman era advertising is high-end brand customer resources, and planning, design, and promotion services are prepared for customers in advance.
Only the rent of commercial shops in the building has recovered more than 12 million in cash for Luo Junyan in one year.
According to Cheng Ge’s estimation, if all the office spaces in the building are leased out, it will be able to recover more than 13 million yuan a year. The underground parking spaces are temporarily available for free use by the leasing owners. The right is a promotional policy. The so-called building restart funds cost less than 300,000 cash in the Snowman era, and there is no need for advertising at all.
Fruitful and gratifying results. In more than two months, the decoration work of the top-level headquarters office and shops will gradually end, and the Snowman Times advertising and major brands will officially move in. The revival of the Snowman Times Building is just around the corner.
Luo Junyan couldn’t get excited. In the first month, he would have to pay 300,000 to tens of thousands of salaries for the 80-something employees. This was because he only had to bear half of the cost. In addition, the government would also levy various taxes of more than ten percent each year. .
Even if the building is rented out and maintenance costs are very low, Luo Junyan will have less than 18 million left in a year, and he still owes the bank a total of nearly 100 million in principal and interest.
Luo Junyan had to keep up with Brother Cheng’s concept, and could no longer keep cash to recruit bugs.
After a series of recent exchanges and asking for advice, Luo Junyan has become more and more admired for Kwong Meiyun’s investment mind.
He made up his mind, anyway, Kwong Meiyun will buy a few houses in the future, and he will also help Luo Junyan buy a few houses. How much do you borrow, how much I will borrow, even the bank manager will find the same person. Kwong Meiyun’s down payment was not enough, and Luo Junyan directly provided interest-free loans. Anyway, his remaining 20 million yuan is enough for these two special investors to defeat Huo.
After the Spring Festival in 1983, Luo Junyan finally met his first agent in his life, Bian Sicong, a little fat boy with a bachelor’s degree in social sciences from the University of Hong Kong, in a white suit and leather shoes.
Luo Junyan looked at Bian Sicong, who was silly and honest, and asked: “Brother Cong, you have a bachelor degree in politics and law from the University of Hong Kong. Although I don’t know what social science is researched, you don’t need to be a small broker. People?”
Bian Sicong waved his hand with a solemn expression, and said: “A Jun, my dream since I was a child is to be an actor. Unfortunately, my talent for acting is not high, and my appearance qualifications are also limited. Not admitted.”
Bian Sicong was a little frustrated for a second, and then exclaimed: “Last year, Mr. Qiu served as chairman of the ATV board of directors. He recruited eclectic talents from the society. I was fortunate enough to apply for the agent of ATV. Although the agent is still some distance from the artist, But I will work hard to learn the knowledge and skills of performing arts, and strive to be transferred as a real artist as soon as possible.”
Luo Jun smiled and expressed his appreciation without a smile, and then said: “Then your university is for nothing?”
Bian Sicong said: “Social science is a subject that focuses on practical applications. Jun, don’t misunderstand social science. This subject not only teaches political science and law, but also includes psychology, linguistics, media and cultural studies, etc. Practical courses. So the university will not study for nothing, it will enhance my internal accumulation of personal performance skills.”
Luo Junyan finally knew what Yawei had sent to herself. In the words of Brother Cheng, the dream boy is not terrible, but he is afraid that the dream boy will not grow up. The university taught him how to be a man. He learned a set of scriptures.
Luo Junyan quickly interrupted the topic and said, “Brother Cong, what is my work arrangement for the next step?”
Bian Sicong took out the folder from his purse without a hassle, and said: “First of all, ATV has arranged two jobs recently. One is to star in a supporting role in “Three Chapters of a Floating Life”. Pan Zhiwen and Ruan Peizhen are respectively. The heroes and heroines, this is a romantic drama in clear outfits and needs to shave. This drama will be aired in March.”
Bian Sicong glanced at Luo Junyan, and then said: “The other is to play Du Shijie, the villain in “Swear Not To Bow Your Head”. The starring role has not yet been decided. This is a gang-themed TV series, which is expected to be broadcast in May. “
Bian Sicong stopped and waited for Luo Junyan to ask questions about unclear content.
Luo Junyan thought for a while and asked: “Brother Cong, what’s your opinion?”
Bian Sicong cleared his throat and said: “I have read the scripts of these two plays seriously. I think the scripts are very well written. Especially when they play the villain role in “Swear Not to Bow Your Head”, why are the villains hated by others? Does the rogue villain also have complicated psychological changes? The performance experience of a villain can completely broaden your play.”
Luo Junyan didn’t want to talk nonsense at all, interrupted him, and said, “Brother Cong, I won’t shave my hair for the time being. If ATV doesn’t mind, I can act as a maid in “Three Days in a Floating Life”. As for “Oath Not” “Head down”, I need to read the script first. What about work arrangements other than ATV?”
Bian Sicong didn’t look embarrassed at all, and replied: “For work other than ATV, no one has actively contacted me for the time being. I plan to take the initiative to contact the bosses of various film companies, and maybe I can meet a role that suits you.”
Luo Junyan had a good impression of Bian Sicong, and said: “My master said that only by casting a net can you catch a big fish. Brother Cong, you have a good idea of taking the initiative to attack. That’s good. Recently, I have made more appointments in the circle. Your friends come out to chat, you accompany me. In the entertainment industry, many people you know are easy to handle.”
Luo Junyan didn’t give Bian Sicong a chance to reply, so he asked: “Brother Cong, how much is the pay for the role of ATV?”
Bian Sicong said: “The salary for acting a slave in “Three Chapters of a Floating Life” is 1,800 yuan in total. If you play a maid, you have to look at the number of scenes. If you don’t bow your head, you will have a total of 3,600 yuan for Du Shijie.”
Luo Junyan almost didn’t jump up, and said, “So little? So if you remove 35% of ATV’s rake, you can only earn 3,510 yuan from acting in two TV series? It’s not much higher than my actor’s salary in 79 years.”
Bian Sicong said: “A Jun, you haven’t counted my agent’s commission.”
Luo Junyan asked: “Brother Cong, how much does your commission account for?”
Bian Sicong replied: “I am a newcomer, and it is reasonable to be 5%. But you are a first-line star, we can sign the agent agreement at 3%, and I will not take advantage of others.”
Luo Junyan shook his head and said, “Brother Cong, it’s still 5%. Even if I take both plays, you will only get 270 yuan. Will you follow me to eat dirt in the future?”
Bian Sicong shook his fingers for a while and then said, “Ajun, are you very proficient in math? In fact, ATV still takes care of me. The monthly salary for entry is 2,000 yuan.”
Luo Junyan let out a sigh of relief and said, “I’m just proficient in accounting. Brother Cong, you have a double bachelor’s degree. ATV is like a daughter to buy horse bones. I will definitely not squeeze your salary. Look. We can’t just sit back and wait. Even if it’s a TV series, we have to be the lead actor anyway.”
Bian Sicong still looked silly and said: “A Jun, the negative news about you has not cooled down yet, and the company will definitely not risk you to become the actor. I don’t think you should be too hasty. You are not short of money. What you lack is momentum. Only if you have money and power can you be invincible.”
Luo Junyan glanced at him very unexpectedly and said, “Brother Cong, what do you mean by momentum?”
Bian Sicong said: “To understand from the front, momentum is word-of-mouth, prestige, and prestige. For an actor, every performance is very serious about the role, and everything shown to the audience is three points in the eye and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The screen image will win you word of mouth. In addition, professionalism, humility, friendliness, sincerity, no big names, no scandals, no care about gains and losses, only by adhering to this correct attitude to work and running through, will it be in the minds of the audience. Have prestige and establish prestige in the showbiz.”
Luo Junyan thought about it seriously, clapped his hands and said, “Okay, then I will start as a supporting role this time, and I won’t consider income for the time being. By the way, Brother Cong, the broker’s commission is still 3%. , Our two brothers hone professional ethics together.”
Bian Sicong opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while.
