This actor has something

Chapter 411 Success
Vivian Chow sat in the middle of the left side of the long table in the small conference room. She placed a large, fat cat on the table. Since winter began, the cat's fur had grown quite a bit longer than before, making it look exceptionally fat and solid.

Vivian Chow kept poking the big fat cat's belly with great interest. The cat was getting lazier and lazier. At first, it would meow twice to protest, but later it just gave up and lay down on the table with its belly exposed, letting Vivian Chow do whatever she wanted.

"Vivian, how much does this cat weigh?"

Lin Jianyue found it unusual. His wife and children also kept cats, but none of them were this fat, especially the breed that Zhou Huimin was currently keeping, which he had never seen before.

"It weighs almost 30 pounds. Holding it every day feels like carrying a stack of bricks. I've been trying to help it lose weight, but my family members keep secretly feeding it. No matter what I say, it won't listen. I'm thinking of giving it a separate room to lock it up so that my family can't have contact with it."

Zhou Huimin is worried about this. Her two children have watched the cat grow up. As they grew, the cat grew too. It was fine before, but now that the cat is an adult, it's starting to grow in a different direction. He Daqi often accompanies her to the vet because he's afraid the cat will get too fat and develop other health problems.

"Indeed, being too fat is bad. Not to mention cats, people shouldn't be too fat either. Now I walk around twice every day after meals to lose weight. The doctor has always said that I have high blood lipids. I didn't realize it before, but now that I'm older, I really understand. I often feel short of breath and dizzy from time to time."

As Lin Jianyue was speaking, the conference room door was pushed open, and Wu Nannan led Zhou Ning and Sun Fangfang in.

Now that everyone's here, it's time to get down to business.

"First of all, we've basically reached a consensus that the Asia-Pacific Special Effects Department must be separated into its own entity. You two will be in charge of the new company. Yabo.com on the top floor has just moved out, and Daqi hasn't been in a hurry to rent it out. So once the new company is separated, you can start moving right away," Liu Ying told Zhou Ning and Sun Fangfang about the current situation.

The two of them already had a guess in their hearts. Upon hearing this, they were both delighted, but they didn't rush to say anything else. Almost at the same time, they turned to look at He Daqi. Seeing He Daqi nod, Zhou Ning and Sun Fangfang finally agreed.

"Sister Liu, I'm fine."

"me too."

They watched He Daqi's scene first, and everyone else observed it and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Lin Jianyue knew that she probably wouldn't get a majority of the shares in the new company this time.

It's obvious that He Daqi recruited all the people from the Beijing Film Academy. The special effects department is full of his seniors and juniors. He Daqi is definitely the one who makes the decisions. The fact that he was invited to discuss things today is already a big favor. If this were in Hong Kong, partners wouldn't be so easy to talk to. Once they have something, they would either raise the price or split it up to work independently. That's how it used to be with triads in Hong Kong, let alone companies. Triads value loyalty and friendship, but capital doesn't care about anything.

Lin Jianyue and He Daqi, a couple who have always worked together well, decided to take the initiative to bring up the topic themselves, otherwise there would be no room for negotiation if others started discussing how to allocate the funds.

"Qi Zai, I did some research before I came here. You basically trained the special effects department yourself, so you'll definitely get the lion's share in the new company. But this department was spun off from Asia-Pacific, so you wouldn't let me suffer too much of a loss, would you?" Lin Jianyue looked at He Daqi with a smile, wanting to hear what he had to say.

What could He Daqi say? He was probably the only one in the room who didn't want to spin off the Asia-Pacific special effects department into a separate operation. If Zhang Yimou hadn't been so meddlesome and revealed the secret to him, he wouldn't have bothered with this troublesome matter.

Now that everyone's eyes are on him, He Daqi clicked his tongue and Xiao Xiong spread his hands, saying, "I'm fine with anything, but there's one request we need to make clear beforehand. After the new company becomes independent, it will definitely expand, so the people in the special effects department are the backbone. They should be given some employee stock. Once special effects production starts, we often work overtime. We can't do without motivation, right? Especially since special effects production is a high-end technology in China now. If the rewards are too small, others will poach us, and we can't do anything about it, right?"

Liu Ying nodded and said, "I've discussed this issue with Sister Hua and Nan Nan. We think Yabo.com's equity incentive mechanism is pretty good. They allocate 15% as profit-sharing bonuses for all employees. They only have the right to receive the bonuses. When an employee leaves, the company will buy them out. Also, after the new company is established, there will definitely be more than the current ten teams. At that time, several teams can take on a project. After taking on a project, a portion of the project's revenue will be left to the teams that took on the project. We'll discuss the specific amount in detail later."

It seems that the three main people in charge of the new company have discussed this matter many times. Liu Ying answered He Daqi's questions in a very reasonable and well-reasoned manner.

Seeing that He Daqi wasn't very interested in discussing the distribution, Zhou Huimin cut to the chase and said directly, "Daqi can take 30% of the new company, right? I want 21%, plus 15% as bonus shares, so that leaves 34%. Mr. Lin, how much do you want?"

As Zhou Huimin spoke, she turned to look at Lin Jianyue.

"Of course, the more the better, but I've never been to the mainland, so even if I were offered 34%, I couldn't handle it. How about we calculate it based on income?"
I've seen the company's financial report. Asia-Pacific Special Effects Department's net profit last year was 60 million. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, I received about 20 million. The new company will definitely be larger, more than double the size. We don't have specific figures on the profits yet.

Let's calculate it at 100%, how about a performance-based agreement? I'll only take half now, which is 17%, and the remaining 17% will go to management. If my dividends double to 40 million after the new company has been operating properly for a year, then my shares will remain unchanged.
If it's less than 40 million, then it's a management mistake. I'll buy back a portion of the shares held by the three of you in management at market price. Don't worry, it won't be too much; I'll stop once I've received 25%.

Lin Jianyue's words didn't cause much of a stir for He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, but they were much more significant for Liu Ying, Wang Jinghua, Wu Nannan, Zhou Ning, and Sun Fangfang.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jianyue was so willing to let go, directly increasing the management's share incentives to 17%.

Seeing that the three major shareholders had all expressed their opinions, Liu Ying turned to look at Wang Jinghua and the others. Seeing that they had nothing to say, Liu Ying agreed, "Then let's discuss and come up with a result as soon as possible. I know that you, Lin Sheng, won't be staying in Beijing for too long, so we can sign the contract first. As for how to distribute the remaining 17 percent, we can discuss it and then sign a supplementary agreement."

Seeing that Liu Ying was decisive and efficient, Lin Jianyue laughed twice and said, "Hahaha, good, Xiao Liu, you came from Huanya and are becoming more and more capable of handling things independently. It's a pity that I have to deal with Huanya, otherwise I would really like to poach you back to help me manage Huanya."

“I’ve always been grateful to Mr. Lin, but there’s no need for me to go back to Huanya. I think it’s great to be working hard in the mainland right now.” Liu Ying covered her mouth and smiled as she heard Lin Jianyue’s approval.

"Mr. Lin, shall we have a few drinks tonight?" He Daqi said cheerfully after everyone had finished chatting.

"Alright, you're the host in Beijing, so I'll have a good drink with you."

……

night.

It was already past ten o'clock when they got back to the villa. Lin Jianyue is now paying attention to health, so He Daqi didn't drink too much with him, just a little bit, and mainly chatted.

Old Lin was blind; he wanted to wait until Huanya was dealt with before letting He Daqi invest, preparing for another round of operations.

He Daqi declined without hesitation.

Lin Jianyue's actions at Huanya were nothing new; he simply drove down his own company's stock price and then liquidated the market.

Huanya invests all its revenue in slow-return projects or directly in risky ventures, waiting for them to collapse before Lin Jianyue liquidates the company. His goal is to delist Huanya and privatize it. A few years ago, when Zhou Huimin and He Daqi were filming Huanya's movies, Huanya's stock price soared. Lin Jianyue took the opportunity to sell off a significant portion of his shares at the high price. Then, after Ya Yue was established for some time, he claimed that Ya Yue was no longer a subsidiary of Huanya and that Zhou Huimin and He Daqi were no longer associated with Huanya. Huanya's stock price plummeted upon hearing this news, and Zhou Huimin bought a considerable amount of stock at that time.

Lin Jianyue found many people like Zhou Huimin at the time, fearing that he would lose control of Huanya after selling off his shares. So he asked them to buy shares in a diversified manner so that he could continue to make decisions in Huanya.

The same tactics have been used several times, and now Huanya's reputation is ruined, which is why He Daqi is unwilling to get involved in Huanya's mess.

Upon entering, He Daqi saw Zhou Huimin sitting cross-legged on the sofa playing on her phone. He didn't greet her but stood at the door and started changing his shoes.

"Go brush your teeth first, don't let me smell the alcohol."

"I didn't drink much."

"Even if you haven't drunk much, go brush your teeth. No, go take a shower and change into your pajamas before you come out, so your clothes don't smell like alcohol."

This woman is so blindly clean; does the cat she hugs every day not smell anymore?
He Daqi pursed his lips, not wanting to argue with Zhou Huimin any longer, and went back to his bedroom and into the bathroom in his slippers.

After washing up, Zhou Huimin had already turned off the lights in the living room and was now lying in bed.

He Daqi yawned, walked to the bedside, pulled back the covers and lay down on the bed. He had just lain down and hadn't even found a comfortable position when Zhou Huimin crawled over to him.

She sniffed He Daqi's scent and, finding no smell of alcohol, nestled comfortably in his arms.

“I’ve inquired. Special effects production is an emerging industry with no investment restrictions, so you and Lin Jianyue can invest in the company under your own names. Once the new company is registered, I’ll transfer all my shares to your name, and I won’t keep any shares.”

Zhou Huimin's little hands were getting restless when she heard this and looked up at He Daqi in surprise.

"Daqi, what's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of keeping the shares in your own hands? This is true for internet companies, it's true for mobile phone manufacturing companies, and now even special effects companies are doing this. What are you trying to do?"

As Zhou Huimin spoke, she started to overthink things. Suddenly, she stood up, straddled He Daqi, grabbed his neck, and asked, "Tell me! Are you planning to leave me some money and then divorce me and leave with nothing? Are you keeping a mistress on the side?"

As a Hong Konger, Vivian Chow grew up seeing and knowing things that were quite different from those in mainland China. So when she realized that Ho Tai-kai was acting strangely, her first thought was what kind of preparations Ho Tai-kai was making.

If He Daqi has no work all day and doesn't leave the house, what kind of preparations can he make?
"Keep your voice down! Stop fooling around and go to sleep early. We have to go to the company tomorrow to sign a contract and arrange for the new company to move." He Daqi tried to pull Zhou Huimin's hand but couldn't budge it, so he said irritably.

The special effects production company clearly intends to go public, and He Daqi has system restrictions, so how could he possibly take shares?

The only companies he can hold shares in are Ya Yue and Hua Yi, because Ya Yue and Hua Yi are film and television production companies.

If the special effects company only did movie and TV series special effects, that would be fine, and He Daqi could also hold shares. The key is that the special effects company has a variety of projects now. If that happens, He Daqi's shares will all go down the drain after the company goes public. So it's better to let Zhou Huimin hold the shares on his behalf.

The key issue is that He Daqi can't explain this clearly. How can he explain it? Did he transmigrate and have a headband on his head?

Hearing He Daqi's evasive answer, Zhou Huimin felt increasingly uneasy. The main problem was that He Daqi's lack of explanation made her uneasy, as if her casual excuse had revealed He Daqi's true feelings.

"Are you going to tell me or not! If you don't, you won't be sleeping tonight!"

"Say it! Say what! You've been spoiled rotten, haven't you? We gave you shares and you're still not happy, get down here!"

……

the next day.

Lin Jianyue was somewhat surprised when she met him again.

"Qizai, did you not sleep all night? Your eyes are so dark."

Lin Jianyue couldn't help but be surprised. He Daqi looked like he had been staying up all night for half a month. The thing is, he was fine when they met yesterday, but he turned out like this today.

"I was catching mice at home last night. I spent the whole night doing it. It's not good for the cat to be too fat. It can't run away, so someone has to come and chase it."

He Daqi yawned and said, and just as he finished speaking, Zhou Huimin came in. She was fine, but she walked slowly and didn't carry the cat today.

Seeing that He Daqi had two black eyes, Zhou Huimin snorted and sat down next to him with her head tilted back.

"Mr. Lin, Sister Liu, Sister Hua, Sister Wu, my husband and I discussed it yesterday. Vivian will hold my shares on my behalf, and let's just change the contract today."

Now, not only Lin Jianyue was looking at He Daqi with surprise, but Liu Ying, Wang Jinghua, and Wu Nannan also looked at him with surprise.

Soon, the surprised look turned into a strange one. Lin Jianyue looked at He Daqi's dark circles and muttered to herself.

Did these two have a fight when they got home yesterday? Did He Daqi get beaten into submission?

Lin Jianyue's guess was both accurate and inaccurate; he was only half right, because although a fight did take place, someone else was the one who was beaten into submission.
