Sister Chen said, "He told me his name is Li Qian, and he is the CEO of Dongyang Trading Co., Ltd. He said their company is mainly engaged in e-commerce, and also participates in real estate, coal mining, gold and other investments. In short, their company is very large and has a lot of business. I also searched for this company on the Internet. The registered capital is 500 million, and he directly transferred 2 million to me at the time, so I believed him."

It’s hard for anyone not to believe such a huge sum of money, right?

When Chu Mengxue heard this, she couldn't believe it. "Is this Li Qian the CEO of that company? What a weird name."

"Yes, I saw his name on the Internet and his position was the president of Dongyang Trading Company. That's why I believed him," said Sister Chen.

"Could it be that this person impersonated the president named Li Qian?" Chu Mengxue analyzed.

"I don't know! Let me check it out." Sister Chen said, and then hung up the phone.

Chu Mengxue was waiting here anxiously.

She didn't expect that Sister Chen actually met a scammer.

This scammer didn't just cheat her of her money directly, but also tricked her into filming so many short dramas, causing her to lose so much money in vain. His tactics were really clever.

After a while, Sister Chen called again.

As soon as the call was connected, Sister Chen's anxious voice came from the other end, "Mengxue, I just asked someone to check, it turns out that Dongyang Trading Company is a shell company. The registered capital of 500 million is all random. The position of the president is also random, and the registered capital can be written at will. It seems that this Li Qian is also fake. He must have set up a fake company to deceive us and make me believe it."

"What? All this is fake? It seems that this is a scam deliberately targeting me and carefully designed for me. Who is deceiving me behind this?" Chu Mengxue said angrily.

Sister Chen was confused. "I don't know either. I have no idea. Have you offended anyone before?"

Chu Mengxue thought for a moment and said, "No! I haven't offended anyone recently. The only person I have offended is Xia Fanxing!"

"Xia Fanxing doesn't have the ability and skill to deceive me, right?" Sister Chen said.

"Anyway, she's the only one I've offended, and she's the only one I've hated the most. So, Sister Chen, do you want us to call the police and have them arrest this Li Qian?" Chu Mengxue narrowed her eyes angrily.

Sister Chen said speechlessly, "How can we call the police? Logically speaking, they haven't committed any crime, nor have they cheated us of any substantial money. At most, they haven't kept their promise and won't buy our skit. This isn't a crime, nor is it a scam. We can't call the police. If they had just cheated us of our money, it would be easier to deal with."

"Is that it? Sister Chen, I have shot so many short dramas and invested more than 50 million yuan in them. If these short dramas cannot be sold, I will suffer a huge loss." Chu Mengxue said depressedly.

That damn liar actually dared to deceive her.

Sister Chen said, "There is another way now, that is to continue to look for others to buy it and see if there is a platform willing to buy it. However, now the platforms are generally not willing to pay for our unknown short dramas. In that case, we can only take the short drama to the platform to sell it, and then see if we can get a share of the profits from the platform."

"Profit sharing? What you mean is that you can't just sell it for a large sum of money. You can only look at the number of purchases by users. You share the profits based on the data of users' recharge purchases, right?" Chu Mengxue said.

Sister Chen nodded. "That's right. Most of these unknown short dramas have this sales model, and they are mainly profit-sharing. Only those TV dramas starring big stars can be sold directly."

"Then if we sell it directly on the platform, how much money can we make?"

Sister Chen thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the quality of the short drama. If it's well made, once it becomes popular, it can make tens of millions of dollars per drama. But those that are average or unpopular often lose money and it's hard to even recoup the cost."

"What? Aren't short plays the most profitable right now? Why is the market so bad?" Chu Mengxue's face changed drastically. How could the market change all of a sudden?

Sister Chen said, "There are too many people doing short dramas now, just because they know it can make money, a lot of people are rushing in, and the market share is simply not enough. In addition, the country's control over short dramas is also very strict now, and many things can't be filmed, so many of the things everyone shoots are bland and meaningless, and no users are willing to pay for them."

"Of course, there are many high-quality short dramas that are popular now, but there are too few of them. Now countless short dramas are entering the market at the same time, just like the big waves washing away the sand. Those low-quality short dramas will not only fail to make money, but will also be drowned in the sea of ​​people."

Hearing these words, Chu Mengxue almost cried.

No way?

Is it so difficult now?

She thought for a moment and spoke with difficulty, "Well, Sister Chen, in this situation, we can only sell it on the platform for free to see if anyone is willing to buy it. If one of them becomes a hit, that would be great, and we can also recover some of the costs."

Sister Chen sighed and said, "Alas, now the platform has to support a lot of people, so the commission is also very high. We make a short drama, and a lot of the money we earn has to be shared with the platform, so it is not easy to make a profit. But if it can become a hit, there will definitely be no problem."

"Yes! We now have more than a dozen short dramas, all of which are excellent. How could they not be popular? Any of them would be a huge hit. Sister Chen, don't be afraid. We will sell them on the platform and let the market test our results."

"I believe that with the quality of our short drama, it will be a hit." Chu Mengxue said confidently.

After hearing her words, Sister Chen felt a little guilty.

She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Yeah, I will."

In fact, she didn't put any effort into making these skits. She knew that some big guys would pay a high price to buy their skits, so she just found someone to shoot them at random. She didn't pay any attention to the content and she didn't polish the scripts. She just found a few ordinary writers to write the scripts for her.

Then, she cheated Chu Mengxue out of a lot of money.

She falsely reported various expenses and probably cheated Chu Mengxue out of more than 20 million yuan.

Then she quickly suppressed the cost and quality of the short drama, so you can imagine the quality of the film.

In the end, the short film was shot in a hurry and she never watched it.

She thought that since someone was buying it, she might as well just do it.

As a result, no one is buying them now. If this batch of rubbish short plays were put on the market for testing, they would be exposed immediately.

So her voice was very small and she felt very unconfident.

But she wouldn't be afraid if she couldn't sell it for money.

Who told Chu Mengxue to be a hands-off boss? She doesn't care about her own business and leaves everything to her.

How could she handle it all by herself?

She couldn't supervise the quality of the skits, so the fact that the skits didn't make money had nothing to do with her; it was Chu Mengxue's own fault.
