Chapter 425 Board Meeting
The first night was with Jiang Yiyan and Tang Yan.
The next night it was Qin Lan.
On the third day, Chen Shu was there in the afternoon and Ning Jing was there in the evening.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xu Kun came to Huayi headquarters and attended Huayi's board meeting.
Among the celebrities who signed contracts in the past two years, many have obtained Huayi’s original shares, but obtaining original shares does not mean that they can get a seat on the board of directors.
Even Xu Kun was not invited to participate until he came back this time.
The reason, of course, is because he predicted the CD crisis.
The impact caused by this incident is no less than the box office of "Lost on Journey" which exceeded 100 million yuan. Although there was no actual income, a lot of intangible capital was gained.
Even Huayi's listing plan was influenced by it and took a big step forward.
Therefore, letting Xu Kun attend the board meeting this time also has some meaning of rewarding his merits.
At the same time, there are also some people who want to hear his judgment on the future situation of the stock market in person.
"Is such that."
A middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing old Beijing cloth shoes said to Xu Kun: "We are now moving faster than expected. If we work hard, we can basically launch it by the end of 08.
But the stock market is falling so much right now. If the situation doesn't improve by then, our Huayi IPO financing will probably be affected. Director Xu, in your opinion, when will the stock market turn around?"
"Yeah, will it be better by the end of next year?"
Another old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle followed up with a question.
Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked at Xu Kun expectantly.
Xu Kun originally thought that he was called to participate in the board meeting in order to urge him to sign the contract to extend the equity lock-up as soon as possible.
I didn't expect that they really regarded themselves as 'economists of the entertainment industry'.
"Everyone."
Xu Kun said helplessly: "Forget about me, even a real economist wouldn't dare to guarantee this. Otherwise, why would he be an economist? Wouldn't it be better to just become a stock god?"
This answer was not unexpected.
After all, with the identities of those present, it is not difficult to get in touch with real economists, so we naturally know that no one dares to guarantee this.
But since it was about Huayi's listing, they felt really bad if they didn't ask Xu Kun, their 'own man'.
"but……"
Seeing that the directors were only slightly disappointed in their calmness, Xu Kun hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal a little more: "Although I can't predict the situation of the stock market, I think that by the second half of next year, there will probably be another big CD crisis."
"Ah."
The man in cloth shoes leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands and supported his chin, posing the standard posture of Commander Ikari: "I heard that you once predicted this at the economic forum hosted by the King of Thailand. May I ask how you made this judgment?"
“It’s not that complicated actually.”
Xu Kun talked freely: "Every time something happens in the United States, someone will come out to say that the situation is under control and not a big problem, but the problems that are exposed keep getting bigger and bigger, so I have reason to suspect that they are hiding more troubles.
Based on this premise, the chances of bigger problems being exposed in the second half of next year are quite high - after all, next year is the US presidential election year, and exposing more problems will help the opposition party win the election, and secondly, clearing minefields in advance will also be beneficial to the opposition party's governance after winning the election."
At this point, he spread his hands and said, "If I were the opposition party, I would definitely hope that this bomb would explode on the eve of the election."
After hearing this, everyone whispered to each other, and most people agreed with Xu Kun's judgment - the stock market is difficult to predict, but the fight between the donkey and elephant parties is still easy to predict.
Wang Zhongjun even exclaimed: "Although Director Xu has never been to the United States, he is more perceptive than those of us who have studied in the United States - the possibility of the opposition party completely detonating the CD crisis before the election is indeed something we must guard against."
In fact, Xu Kun was also forced to do something he was not prepared for.
In the past few months, people kept asking him about financial issues, forcing him to sharpen his skills before the battle and learn only the basics.
Fortunately, he could still use his memories from his previous life to deduce the cause and effect, so he could justify himself. In the end, Huayi chose to postpone the listing and set the listing date in the first half of 09 to avoid the risks that might arise in the second half of 08.
After pretending for a while, Xu Kun began to be careful in his words and actions, mainly because he had limited knowledge, and every failure made him wiser, so he didn't dare to throw away his real trump card casually.
The following topics were varied, but the most serious and critical one was the proposal to expand the scale of the company's legal department.
This is necessary before listing and also to deal with the growing legal disputes.
When talking about this topic, Wang Zhongjun also specifically reminded Xu Kun that he should pay extra attention to contract issues when filming a movie in Thailand.
As long as it is recorded after the camera is turned on, try to sign a contract statement, otherwise it is better to give it up - even if there is a double BUFF of the Thai military government and the former prime minister's card game, it is best not to make a mistake on this.
This is also a lesson learned.
Although most Chinese people are good, but as you shoot more movies, you are bound to encounter some tricky and weird ones.
This meeting lasted for two hours.
It was already past 11 o'clock when we came out of the meeting room.
Xu Kun and Wang Zhonglei walked out side by side. Seeing Huang Bin standing outside the meeting room door, they asked, "Is Director Feng here?"
"Here we are. Director Feng just sent someone to inform us, asking you to go find him after the meeting. We can have lunch together at noon."
"alright."
Xu Kun took the opportunity to part ways with Wang Zhonglei and moved to Feng Xiaogang's office on the fifth floor.
Unexpectedly, I found Qi Wei there too.
Xu Kun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Judging from Xu Fan's attitude last time, he should have been dissatisfied with this girl. How could she still appear here?
"Coming."
Feng Xiaogang smiled and asked Xu Kun to sit down, then he winked at her, and Qi Wei reluctantly left the office.
Then Feng Xiaogang passed cigarettes to Xu Kun and said with a smile: "Xiao Wei is a very promising child. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you might as well take care of her."
uh~
I understand everything.
"Since Uncle Feng has asked for your help, I will definitely help you in the future." Xu Kun said, shaking the cigarette in his hand: "But is it appropriate for you to smoke now? If Sister Xu Fan knew about this..."
"It's fine if you don't say no."
Feng Xiaogang stroked his hair and said impatiently: "I've been treating it for a year, but it's useless. I don't care what happens. I don't rely on my looks to make a living anyway."
As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took two deep puffs.
Xu Kun also lit his own cigarette and asked, "Why didn't you attend the board meeting?"
"Why participate in that?"
Others were not qualified to participate, and Feng Xiaogang was too lazy to participate. He puffed out a cigarette and said disdainfully: "As long as our work is effective, they will not be short of our benefits!"
Then he continued, "Seriously, the promotion of Assembly will begin in two days. By then, I will take you, Deng Chao, and Huang Xiaoming to participate in variety shows and interviews.
I have to say that choosing you to play Gu Zidi was a good choice. Your acting skills are impeccable, and more importantly, you can always come up with something new that others can’t.”
This is obviously not talking about Xu Kun's performance in the movie, but about the matter of "predicting the CD crisis".
"That's just a coincidence. People outside may not really take it seriously. When it comes to our "Assembly" crew, you are the mainstay." Xu Kun smiled and said, "I've arranged all the things at home in the past few days. I will serve our crew exclusively in the next two months."
Feng Xiaogang was naturally very satisfied with Xu Kun's humble attitude. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's invite Qin Lan as well. Although she doesn't have many scenes, she is our leading actress after all."
Feng Xiaogang naturally knew the relationship between Qin Lan and Xu Kun, so this could be considered as returning a favor.
"What a coincidence."
When Xu Kun heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "She just finished filming a TV series and is free these days."
