Metropolis: I Have a Life Reset Simulator

This also gave Xia Dongming great confidence.

Especially when seeing that there are so many people working in the company even on weekends, and everyone is very busy, it can be seen that the business is busy.

And busy business means that the company's profits are good, which makes Xia Dongming feel more at ease.

But when Xia Dongming came to the reception room and saw the young Wei Ziqi, he was still a little flustered.

After all, for young people, sometimes it just makes people feel unreliable.

But at this time, Xia Dongming was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and he was in danger of overturning at any time, so he had no choice but to act as a living horse doctor. He immediately showed a warm smile and said, "...Excuse me, is this Mr. Wei?"

Wei Ziqi nodded. He didn't even stand up to greet him, but pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "...it's me, Mr. Xia, please sit down." Wei Ziqi's attitude was a bit arrogant, but Xia Dongming didn't care.

After all, Wei Ziqi is an investor, and he came here to beg for money.

The current animation industry is not as fast-growing as it was a few years ago, standing on top of the wind.

At that time, it was too easy for Xia Dongming to find investment. As the project leader, he could of course be a little arrogant.

But now he came to ask for help, and he dared not neglect anything.

Xia Dongming quickly pulled out his chair and sat down, and gently placed the briefcase in his hand on the table.

He considered his sentence before saying: "...Mr. Wei, you are much younger than I imagined."

Wei Ziqi smiled and said, "... Mr. Xia thinks I'm too young so he doesn't trust "[-]", and he's afraid that going out this time will be a waste of time?" Wei Ziqi also took a careful look at Xia Dongming in front of him at this time.

It can be seen that his condition is indeed not good, the dark circles under his eyes are very serious, and his eyes are still full of bloodshot eyes, probably because he hasn't slept well these days.

But this is good news for Wei Ziqi, the more you beg for what you want, and only I have it, then I can take a huge advantage from you. "Where is it, I just feel that Mr. Wei is young and promising, and I feel a little sigh in my heart." Xia Dongming said quickly.

He is now in a hurry to grab every straw, so he dare not underestimate the young Wei Ziqi.

And he didn't feel anything before, but now that he sat down in front of Wei Ziqi, Xia Dongming even had the feeling that he was vaguely facing a certain boss.

It was a sense of oppression and aura that was hard to describe in words.

Seeing such an aura in front of a young man, Xia Dongming was relieved even though he was shocked.

After all, this made Wei Ziqi look stable and trustworthy all at once.

Wei Ziqi is a vigorous and resolute person in his work. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Xia Dongming, "...Mr. Xia, let's stop talking so much nonsense."

"I know you are also pressed for time, so let's get right to the point."

"... You should have brought all the materials, right? The materials you gave to Yiwei Group at that time were only a rough outline, and I need to review them again."

Xia Dongming likes people who do things straightforwardly, because it's a waste of time to gossip.

He is also meticulous in his work and doesn't like wasting time.

Hearing Wei Ziqi's words, he quickly handed over the briefcase in his hand, and took out thick documents from it.

In order to make it easier for people to see, he has already marked the text in important places on the document.

At the same time, Xia Dongming was also speculating about the relationship between Wei Ziqi and Yiwei Group.

Although the investment companies under Yiwei Group are not the most famous ones in China, they are not professional in finance after all.

But because it is backed by a large group, this investment institution can be regarded as a prosperous business.

Xia Dongming knew that his project was passed by this investment institution.

But Wei Ziqi was still able to get these materials from this company, even if it wasn't the most important top-secret information, it shows how powerful he is.

I don't know how he did it, and the other party doesn't look like a member of the Yiwei Group.

If Wei Ziqi knew what Xia Dongming was thinking, he would definitely smile.

What we are using here is the beauty trick among the 36 tricks. Once this trick is done, you will be invincible in the world!

Wei Ziqi flipped through these documents in a decent manner.

In fact he didn't have to look at it at all.

He probably knows more about the content here than Xia Dongming himself.

Even Wei Ziqi knew what kind of sensation and phenomenon this animated movie would cause after its release, and thus made a lot of money.

However, Wei Ziqi was still looking through these documents carefully, trying to think about whether there was anything he hadn't thought of.

Half an hour later, he put the document in his hand on the table under Xia Dongming's anxious gaze, and fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Wei?"

Xia Dongming asked cautiously, fearing that he would be rejected by the investor again this time.

"Mr. Xia, you should know. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know. In the field of investment, people never invest in projects, but in people who invest."

"...I don't comment on your project, but I still appreciate you as a person."

"Your resume is quite beautiful. When you were young, you worked in a state-owned animation production company. Both your understanding of this industry and your technology are top-notch." "...you left that state-owned enterprise about 13 years ago and took the initiative to start a business. There are also some mature works in the field of animation.”

"A few years ago, the animation industry was booming, and you also tentatively wanted to enter the animation film industry and fired your first shot, so you came up with this project." "...and you have spent more than two years on this project I spent all my time working diligently, taking care of every detail, and striving to produce a high-quality film.”

"The behind-the-scenes producers of this animation work even involve as many as 1600 people. From this, we can see Mr. Xia's ambition and confidence in your own abilities." Wei Ziqi first praised Xia Dongming.

When Xia Dongming heard Wei Ziqi's praise, he didn't feel any joy in his heart, but panicked even more.

Because he is too familiar with this aspect, when these investors praise you in various ways, they probably want to refuse.

As long as Wei Ziqi said a 'but' next, Xia Dongming knew that his investment seeking this time would fail again.

As if seeing what Xia Dongming was thinking, Wei Ziqi laughed and said: "...you are worrying too much, Mr. Xia, I really praise you."

"...As I said just now, investment has always been the investor rather than the project, and your seriousness and strictness to work is actually what we investors like very much." "At least we know You will not waste our investor's money, but will spend every dollar and penny on this project."

"...Of course it's a good thing that you have ambition, and it's also a good thing that you have confidence in yourself, but the market is turbulent, and no one can predict the future." 'Except me'.

Of course Wei Ziqi didn't say the last three words.

"So your ambition and boldness finally lead you to a path that is almost desperate."

Wei Ziqi's words made Xia Dongming feel ashamed and regretted for a while. He just took too big a step and accidentally pulled his ass.

But now his two eggs are about to be castrated, and he has to seek a famous doctor in order to survive. "Then... Mr. Wei, what do you mean?" Xia Dongming asked carefully.

Wei Ziqi also knew now that Xia Dongming was more like a technician than a manager.

Just like this project, he took the initiative to participate as the leader of the main creative team.

Instead of just giving the project to the person in charge like a general company owner.

Of course, it was precisely because Xia Dongming was the main creator that other investment institutions would trust him to invest in him.

From Xia Dongming's way of speaking and behavior, it can be seen that he is not a qualified businessman.

But because of his strong ability, he can also make a lot of money.

"I can invest because I believe in your ability, Mr. Xia."

As soon as Wei Ziqi's words fell, Xia Dongming's face was overjoyed, and he followed him and asked anxiously: "...Then Mr. Wei, how much are you planning to invest?"

If the other party only invests a few million, it can only be said to be enough for the time being, but even if it is only a few million, he is willing.

This can free up Xia Dongming more time to find new investors.

Wei Ziqi raised four fingers.

"400 million?"

Xia Dongming was a little disappointed.

But soon he calmed down.

Since he can get 400 million investment from Wei Ziqi, it means that he still has the opportunity to get more investment from others.

This at least proves that he has not failed yet.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ziqi shook his head and said, "...not 400 million. I usually don't even look at the investment of several million. My investment amount is 4000 million."

What Wei Ziqi said earlier really meant Versailles, but whether it was Versailles or not, Xia Dongming was shocked by this sentence.

You must know that besides Xia Dongming's own company, there are two other companies investing in this project.

And the total investment of each of their companies has not reached the figure of 4000 million!

The three of them together only invested 8000 million.

"Mr. Wei, you... are you really willing to invest 4000 million?"

Xia Dongming's hands trembled.

"What? Doesn't Mr. Xia think it's enough? Your initial budget for this project is only 8000 million, and this is the budget that includes publicity expenses."

"...I'm investing half of your original investment now. I think this figure should be enough?"

Wei Ziqi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Enough, enough, of course it is enough! In fact, you only need to give me another 2000 million, and I can completely complete this project, so you don't need to invest so much at all!"

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman tolerates a person who pleases her.

Wei Ziqi said just now that he invests in people rather than projects.

And Wei Ziqi can directly invest 4000 million for Xia Dongming, what is it if this is not a confidant in life?

So at this time, Xia Dongming was thinking about how to save Wei Ziqi's money. He even thought that this is the benefactor. I have to let my daughter call you uncle and godfather, so as to show the strength of our relationship. close!

"No, I've seen your budget statement. With Mr. Xia's budget exceeding the limit, the announcement funds are completely insufficient."

"...For an animated film, publicity is the most important thing. To be honest, I even think that the 2000 million publicity fee is not enough."

"But I also know that with additional investment, the other two companies you are working with may not be willing."

The higher the investment amount, the better, especially the B-round and C-round investments.

Unless this is a popular unicorn company, the higher the amount you invest, the higher the shareholding ratio you want.

Your shareholding is high, and what you get in exchange is a reduction in the shareholding ratio of other investment institutions.

People may not be willing to do this.

Of course, the same sentence remains, these are all non-popular enterprises, if it is those popular projects, of course, the more money you invest, the better.

This will not only speed up the development of the company, but also increase the valuation, so that those institutions that invest in advance will make a lot of money. "Of course, Mr. Xia, don't be in a hurry to be happy. I also have requirements."

"...I can contribute 4000 million yuan, and even as long as we sign the contract, I can directly transfer 4000 million yuan to your account, and there will be absolutely no installment payments." "And my request is that I need to occupy 40% share."

"...In this project, Mr. Xia, your animation film and television company accounted for 40% of the share."

"The other two Korgos Film and Television Company and October Culture Media Company, which are cooperating with you, account for 35% and 25% respectively."

"...I know that my investment only accounts for one-third of the current total investment, and directly requiring 40% of the equity ratio is a bit high."

"But you should understand that I'm sending charcoal in the middle of nowhere, not icing on the cake. Those two companies are not big companies, and they won't make additional investment for this project with an uncertain future." Wei Ziqi leaned forward, rather Somewhat aggressive.

Wei Ziqi's every life simulation, in that life simulation, he is a qualified professional.

Just like he is an investor now, he will naturally do his best to consider his own interests, so as to obtain the maximum income with the minimum investment.

And the ratio of 40% is the number that Wei Ziqi estimated that the three other companies can accept.

No matter how high it is, the other two companies will definitely refuse.

But even with this number, Xia Dongming hesitated.

It's not that he is still greedy for money, but that Wei Ziqi wants such a high proportion, the other two companies must also take their share.This involves other people, so Xia Dongming can't guarantee it, "...This, Mr. Wei, I can only try my best to convince the other two companies."

Seeing Xia Dongming's hesitation, Wei Ziqi said leisurely again: "...I advise you not to use the word 'try your best', I hope you use the word 'certainly'." "...your total budget is written in black and white In terms of the contract, the reason why there is a financial problem in 1.2 is entirely your responsibility."

"If this project continues to drag on, when the project goes bankrupt, the other two companies will have enough reasons to sue you. After all, if the investment fails, it is their vision." "...But if it is because of you And the project fails, and that's your problem."

"For this project, you have already emptied your company's old bottom, right? I don't know how much compensation will be paid at that time." "... At that time, you may have to use all your assets to Make compensation."

"And the other two companies got your compensation, they can even use the money to start the project again, and then only pay you the basic salary, so that you can continue to be the general manager."

"... At that time, will you agree or not? If you don't agree, you may not be able to survive in this industry, and you will have no chance of making a comeback." You don’t get a single penny of the hard-finished project.” “…And you will completely become a worker from a company boss.”

"You should have a wife and children, right? Even if you don't know how to think for yourself, don't you think about your family?" Hearing Wei Ziqi's terrible words, Xia Dongming only felt a chill in his heart.

Because he knew what Wei Ziqi said was true.

Don't doubt the cruelty and viciousness of capitalists.

If he can't complete the project within the stipulated time, the other two companies may actually do this kind of thing.

Even in Xia Dongming's mind, he fantasized about a future miserable life in which his wife divorced his daughter and his house was mortgaged and he could only live in a shack.
