Chapter 125: Finally Finished
Chen Pingsheng and his family attended Han Fei's funeral.
Unlike the countryside, the city can only cremate the ashes, and then buy a small tombstone to bury the urn.
Aunt Liu Xiuai fainted, but later she came back to life, and fainted again after presiding over her son's funeral.
On the road of shared economy entrepreneurship, Han Fei will not be the first to fall, nor will he be the last.
No one knows who will win in the end.
In short, Chen Pingsheng's mood has been relatively heavy these days.
After finishing the work here, everyone did what they should do.
On August 9, five Tengsheng Fresh Supermarkets opened on the same day.
The area is over 500 square meters, and Chen Pingsheng was quite satisfied when he went to see it.
The overall planning is clear and tidy, and it is not affected at all by the addition of vegetables, fish and meat.
The main reason is that he hired a lot of people. In the past, he only sold fruits, and a store including cashiers had about 12 people.
Now there are more than 30 employees in a single store.
This is also unavoidable. The business hours of the fresh food store are from 6 am to 10 pm.
It must be divided into morning and evening shifts.
The working hours of employees are still set at eight hours, without overtime and without being too tired.
You can have your own life with a shorter time.
He held several meetings for the fresh supermarket a few days after the opening.
The main thing is to adjust some details. It is foreseeable that because of the addition of vegetables, fish and meat needed for daily life.
In addition, the pricing is much lower than that of the vegetable market, and the categories are also complete. His traffic must be several levels higher.
It is almost the same as he expected. Fruits and vegetables and other fresh food are combined together. Although the investment is large, the traffic is indeed explosive.
In the supermarket business, vegetables and fish have always been the most traffic-absorbing.
After all, they must be bought every day, and the consumption frequency is far from comparable to ordinary categories.
After he finished the tour, he went to Tengying Entertainment again.
Everyone said that his Tengying was about to fail, but Chen Pingsheng knew that Tengying was about to have good things.
The filming of Hua Qiangu, which took almost a year, was officially completed.
Chen Pingsheng specially held a large wrap-up banquet for the whole crew at the headquarters building of Tengying Entertainment.
Since last year, he knew that this was the most profitable crew that Tengying had ever invested in.
It was also a super hit drama that could make Tengying a first-line entertainment and film company in China.
Once it is broadcast, Zhao Liying is very likely to become the new top streamer of the domestic 85 flowers.
Officially on par with Yang Mi.
Tengying Entertainment, which has disappeared for more than half a year, is about to usher in its own glory.
At the wrap-up banquet, Chen Pingsheng stood on the stage and said:
"A year is not long or short, but fortunately our drama has finally been successfully filmed."
"Many people outside say that our Tengying can't continue to operate and may even go bankrupt. Today, on this special day, I will officially break this rumor."
"Last year, when we were filming this drama, the salary of the heroine was set at 12 million. This year, the filming is completed. No matter what price Hua Qiangu finally sells for, I will personally reward Zhao Liying with 20 million in cash."
Who said he has no money? He just can't find a good crew to invest in.
Secretary Bai Xin was stunned. Not only her, but everyone else was stunned.
The show hasn't even been sold for a good price, and they're giving out money like this.
Are they really that arrogant?
Can the senior sister raise the 20 million cash as a reward alone?
Should I ask her to help raise some, Bai Xin thought foolishly.
Zhao Liying, who hadn't received any news before, was stunned.
I've never heard of such an operation in the entertainment industry. They're giving out money before the show has even been sold.
The key is that post-production editing will take some time, and no one knows what price it will be sold for.
There was a lot of applause, and Zhao Liying, who went on stage to receive the award, was so excited that she almost cried.
Chen Pingsheng certainly didn't just give her a reward, the whole company had to give a reward, too.
"Bai Xin, how many people are there in the company besides you?"
"Report to the boss."
Bai Xin saluted solemnly, with a serious expression, "There are seven people in the legal department, 21 people in the online marketing department, 18 people in the logistics department, plus the chefs, security guards and the personal team of the senior sister, a total of 106 employees."
"Okay, everyone except you will get a bonus of 50,000."
"What?"
Why do you want to exclude me? Did I do something wrong?
Bai Xin was embarrassed.
For people with an annual salary of over one million, 50,000 may not be much, but for those chefs, security guards, hygienists, and ordinary employees.
50,000 is a lot.
Chen Pingsheng only took care of the bonus, and let them hold the rest of the celebration.
With him as the boss, it is inevitable that people will be a little restrained.
"Boss, are you leaving now?"
"Why would I stay and drink with you if you don't leave?"
"No, I just want to ask him, why can I get a 50,000 yuan reward when I'm so idle."
"You stupid girl, if you want to ask, go alone, don't take us with you."
"Our boss is generous, it's not just one or two days."
"Besides, look at the senior sister, she got 20 million yuan by herself, what's ours?"
"You're envious, why don't you go to film with the senior sister."
"I don't have that talent."
Tengying Entertainment has little work and no competition, so everyone gets along very happily.
But I was really worried that the boss would close the company before, but I didn't expect that not only did he not close it, but he also gave them a large reward.
This is really a blessing from heaven.
Very unexpected.
Top floor.
President's Office.
Zhao Liying didn't waste time downstairs. She had been busy filming for the past year and a half and had no time to spend time with Chen Pingsheng.
"Brother Chen, Hua Qiangu may not be able to fetch a good price. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to give me 20 million!"
"Nothing inappropriate."
Chen Pingsheng asked her to sit down and then explained:
"Recently, there have been some very bad rumors about our Tengying. Although these rumors have no impact on us, they can lower the price of Hua Qiangu."
"Besides, the 20 million I give you directly now will be added to the investment cost. In addition, it will also declare to the outside world our strong confidence in Hua Qiangu, Tengying."
"With this back and forth, I might be able to sell a small target more."
Zhao Liying was completely surprised. She thought that giving her 20 million was purely a reward.
I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns here.
She doesn't know much about business, but she still understands the benefits of doing this.
"Brother Chen, you are so thoughtful."
"What the hell!"
After Chen Pingsheng sat down, he made himself a cup of tea, "There is something I want to tell you."
"Brother Chen, what else do you have to say about our relationship? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, this is actually a good thing."
Chen Pingsheng said: "Next, I plan to promote Tengying to be listed. Before going public, I want to sign an option contract with you. The contract will stipulate that you can only get this share after ten years."
"Brother Chen, are you afraid that I will run away?" Zhao Liying's smile was as heart-warming as ever.
"It's different from the past." Chen Pingsheng said sincerely: "You used to be just a small actor, but now you are about to become a top-notch actor. There must be countless big companies who want to poach you. I am letting you stay with peace of mind." In our company.”
It is foreseeable that there will definitely be many big companies that want to poach Zhao Liying.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen. I always remember the day you invested more than 10 million to designate me as the heroine."
Zhao Liying smiled innocently and sincerely.
"That was the first time in my life that I was the protagonist. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for several days."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said: "That was also the first time in my life that I invested in a TV series. I am very happy to meet you."
Zhao Liying stretched out her hand: "Me too, I'm glad to be your neighbor."
Chen Pingsheng nodded: "In that case, let me tell you something realistic. The first step of Tengying's valuation will be three billion, and the option given to you is 5%, which can only be cashed out after ten years. Maybe that day will come. , Tengying may have become the number one in the industry.”
"Of course, bankruptcy is also possible. No matter what, Brother Chen hopes you will get better and better."
"Me too."
Chen Pingsheng still thinks it is a good deal to retain a top star with the equity ten years later.
To be honest, parents may not be reliable in the face of great interests, let alone his support in the first place.
An unbreakable relationship of interest is the way to go in the long run.
Only by letting her get better and better in Tengying will she truly focus on staying in Tengying.
Chen Pingsheng chatted with Zhao Liying for a while.
She had just finished filming Flowers of Eternity and had no intention of taking a break.
No doubt a model worker.
But for her next script, Chen Pingsheng hopes that she will choose a script related to the character of a foodie.
Next year is a critical year for Feiyang. Whether it can go public will mainly depend on whether next year's financing plan goes smoothly.
Actually, Zhao Liying is quite satisfied with Teng Ying, and even admires him.
She only needs to concentrate on filming here, and Tengying will help her with capital operations.
Once Feiyangyang really goes on the market, she will not only be an actress.
He has also become one of the major shareholders of a listed company, something that other companies would not dare to think of.
Therefore, she cherished this opportunity given to her by Teng Ying.
I also particularly hope to develop it step by step.
When it comes to selecting scripts, Chen Pingsheng feels that she has a unique vision. The scripts sent by others are basically not profitable.
The ones she picks tend to be quite profitable.
This is also considered a lucky star.
After Zhao Liying returned to her studio.
Yang Qian also stayed here for a while. After Chen Pingsheng called her up, he said: "I want to set up a public relations department to be responsible for Tengying's external relations and artist image."
The main reason why Yang Qian didn't go to Chang Fu's live broadcast studio was because she didn't think it was interesting.
She doesn't like the current way of making money through live broadcasting.
Tengying is different. All aspects of the relationship between entertainment companies are actually very complicated.
You have to be someone who is very good at interpersonal relationships to handle the PR department well.
Yang Qian asked: "You are just an artist like Zhao Liying. Isn't that enough?"
"It's really not enough."
Chen Pingsheng said: "Because we independently invested in the drama Hua Qiangu, she suffered several waves of online blackmail before. In the future, in addition to TV dramas, I also want to develop in the direction of movies. The value of entertainment companies that only produce TV dramas is still low. a little."
"That's true."
Yang Qian nodded: "There is no entertainment company in the mainland that only produces TV series that has been listed. Even if you are the first to try it, I estimate that the market value will be difficult to meet your own expectations. Although movies are a big investment and high risk, , but capital is obviously more interested in that area.”
"Investing in movies still depends on future opportunities."
Chen Pingsheng felt that his golden finger had not been upgraded for a long time. He didn't know whether the next upgrade would unlock the investment return function of the movie.
If that were the case, Tengying would really take off.
But for now, the most important thing is to sell Hua Qiangu for a good price.
"You should be responsible for the public relations department first. There will definitely be some TV station people coming to Hua Qiangu recently. After the post-editing is completed, we will set an auction time."
The most important thing for the newly established public relations department is to be responsible for this matter.
Nothing is more important than selling Hua Qiangu for a good price.
Chen Pingsheng called Bai Xin and Jiang Yile again.
This time he directly gave Zhao Liying a bonus of 20 million, and he also wanted to convey a message to the outside world.
After the filming of Hua Qiangu was completed, it far exceeded expectations, and he was very satisfied as a boss.
Besides, the ratings of the two dramas Zhao Liying filmed before were very good, and they have a certain appeal.
"Bai Xin, Yang Qian is in charge of the public relations department and is your immediate superior. If I'm not here, ask her as much as possible about things you can't make up your mind about. If you keep doing nothing, I'll deduct your salary."
"Uncle." Bai Xin had a bitter face, "What did I do wrong? Remind me, or you can spank me twice."
First, she was not given a bonus, and now she is going to be deducted from her salary.
Bai Xin, don't be too nervous.
"You are right. Next, you should cooperate with Jiang Yile and Yang Qian to do a good job in Hua Qiangu's publicity."
Chen Pingsheng didn't scare her anymore. He took out a bunch of keys from his drawer and handed them to her.
"It's for you. As my secretary, you drive a car worth hundreds of thousands. I'm so embarrassed by you."
"Ah?" Bai Xin felt like she was riding a roller coaster.
Did he not give her a bonus before just to give her a car?
Porsche, she loves it so much.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Okay, An An is on summer vacation recently. She misses you as a tutor. Go see her when you have time."
"Uncle, why don't you take An An over to play."
Chen Pingsheng said helplessly: "She has been obsessed with practicing mantis boxing recently. She is either watching mantises fighting or imitating mantises' kicks all day long."
"Okay."
Chen Pingsheng urged them to do their work. "Park the car downstairs. Don't drive your car worth more than 100,000 yuan in the future. Others will think I can't afford your salary."
It was also a face-saving thing for the secretary to go out. Bai Xin giggled and instantly raised her chest.
