Chapter 429 Wanjia Films
The news that Wanting Films was sold to Lu Jiaxin spread quickly, and then Tian Pengyu went to find Lan Yinggu again. The other party's contract with TVB was due to expire in April, and the next buyer had not yet been finalized. After knowing that Wanting Films had changed hands and the major shareholder was now the generous Miss Lu, he also relaxed.
Tian Pengyu found Lu Jiaxin and said, "Boss, Miss Lan said she is willing to sign a contract with Wanting Films, but she has two conditions."
"What conditions?"
Lan Yinggu had three conditions. The first was that she would only sign for three years; the second was that she must guarantee to shoot at least three movies every year, and the quality of the movies could not be much lower than "Legal Beauty". However, she did not require that she must be the protagonist, and the role was also suitable for the second female role; the third was that she could not be restricted from taking advertisements and some activities.
Lu Jiaxin felt that these three conditions were not high, so she agreed.
Tian Pengyu said, "Boss, there is no problem with the first and third conditions. If our movie becomes popular, her salary for the next movie will definitely increase. With her current popularity, it is no problem to get the most relaxed contract. But the second requirement is that our Wanting Film and Television only shoots three movies a year at most."
Lu Jiaxin glanced at him and said, "Miss Zheng, Liu Ren, and Guan Meiren have also signed with the film and television company, but they still star in our movies."
This means that it doesn't matter if Wanting Film and Television does not shoot more than three movies, as long as they are important roles recommended by the company.
Tian Pengyu nodded and agreed, "I will communicate with Miss Lan later."
"What about Miss Wang?"
Tian Pengyu regretfully said that Miss Wang had already signed with the film and television company, and he was a step late.
Lu Jiaxin didn't care. It would be best if she could sign, but if she couldn't sign, she could still recruit others. She said, "The name of Wanting Film and Television is not nice, so change it to Wanjia Film and Television. Wan for billionaire, Jia for stunning beauty."
Tian Pengyu thought the name had a good meaning and agreed at once.
Lu Jiaxin told him that the company could not be the same as before and had to change. First, go outside to find good scripts, which are the cornerstone of movies; then train your own actors, and if there are none, recruit and train outside, and you can also poach people from other companies.
Tian Pengyu certainly hopes that the company will get better and better, but what Lu Jiaxin said all costs money.
Lu Jiaxin is unwilling to allocate more money, but the company cannot develop without money, so she promised that all the box office of "Legal Beauty" will stay in the company.
Tian Pengyu happily agreed.
Nie Zhan went abroad to investigate the market, not in Hong Kong. Su Heyuan invited her to dinner on Sunday, and the location was still a Japanese restaurant.
Lu Jiaxin didn't understand why he liked Japanese food so much. But this was Su Heyuan's freedom, so she just complained in her heart and never said it on the surface.
Su Heyuan told Lu Jiaxin one thing: "Jiaxin, I heard that the owner of the Royal Building wants to sell this property. I wonder if you are interested?"
The Royal Building is worth more than 1 billion, but he doesn't know what Lu Jiaxin is, maybe he can afford it! If I didn't tell her after I got the news and she missed it, it would be a pity.
Lu Jiaxin was a little tempted. The Royal Building is located on Gloucester Avenue in Causeway Bay, close to Victoria Park, and the location is excellent.
"This building is more than 1 billion, right?"
Su Heyuan nodded and said he wanted this amount: "You can pay 20% for the down payment and the rest for the mortgage. If you can come up with the down payment, buy it. The location of this building is very easy to rent. Now the Hong Kong City real estate is rising rapidly, and you will make money if you buy it."
He didn't have such a large cash flow, otherwise he would have taken it himself. Real estate companies develop projects, if the location is good, the storefronts will not be sold.
Lu Jiaxin said with some regret: "I have made several big investments recently, and I don't have much money on hand to buy."
It's April now, and there will be a stock market crash in another six months. She only remembers the Plaza Accord Greencoin/Foreign Exchange decline. But the stock market crash is different. She not only remembers the date of the crash, but also knows how much it fell on the first day, so this time she is ready to do something big.
Su Heyuan smiled and said, "It's okay. There are many high-quality properties in Hong Kong City. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance next time."
He didn't ask Lu Jiaxin what big investment he had made. He didn't say that there must be a reason. Anyway, good things won't miss him, and that's enough.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "That's for sure. By the way, have you re-selected the date for your engagement with Miss Bai?"
Originally, the two of them had set September and then got married in December, but Miss Bai's grandmother suddenly died of illness. According to custom, weddings cannot be held in the year when an old person dies, so the engagement banquet and wedding banquet were all cancelled.
Su Heyuan shook his head and said, "No, my dad was going to choose a new date after the first month of the lunar year, but he twisted his foot and delayed it until now."
Uh...
Lu Jiaxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Yuan, why is your marriage so full of twists and turns?"
After that, she jokingly said, "Brother Yuan, why don't you go find a master to see if there are any obstacles? If so, let the master eliminate them for you."
Su Heyuan thought it made sense and was going to ask someone to find the master he knew to do it.
Lu Jiaxin laughed: "I was joking with you, did you take it seriously? These things are just coincidences. As long as you are sincere to Miss Bai, it's okay to get married later."
But Su Heyuan took her joke to heart, and asked someone to make an appointment with the master after returning. A few days later, Su Heyuan went to see the master.
After meeting the master, Su Heyuan went home and thought for a long time before going to Pengcheng. Su Heming saw that he frowned and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with the company?"
Su Heyuan knew that he was concerned about him, and said with a pleasant face: "The company is fine, I have something to ask aunt. You go out, I'll call aunt."
Su Heming curled his lips, what is there that he can't listen to. He didn't ask, but told Su Heyuan another thing: "Brother, I called Aunt Li yesterday, she said that aunt had a fever, and the old witch from the second room brought her niece to the door again. After so many years, she still hasn't given up."
Speaking of the latter part, there was anger in his words, Su Heming said: "Brother, the old witch made things difficult for aunt a few years ago. Knowing that aunt was weak, she always wanted her niece to replace her. The eldest niece didn't work, and now it's the younger niece. Brother, we were young and incapable before and had to endure it, do we still have to endure it now?"
Although my uncle couldn't marry the niece of the old witch, it was too annoying, and it had been annoying them for so many years. People's patience has a limit, and he can't stand it anymore.
Su Heyuan's face darkened, and he said, "We will go back to Sijiu City tomorrow. As for the second branch of the Xie family, we can't touch it, otherwise my aunt will be angry."
Su Heming's voice became louder: "Then how long do we have to endure it?"
Su Heyuan glanced at him and said coldly: "I just said that we can't touch the second branch of the Xie family, but I didn't say that we can't touch the old witch's family."
Su Heming's expression looked better. If I don't show that old witch some color, she really thinks they are made of mud and have no temper.
