Huayu: Starting from joining the mainstream entertainment industry in 96

Chapter 44: Circumstances are stronger than people
After attending the wedding banquet.

Han Sanping then returned to the Lucheng Guesthouse.

This is a guesthouse run by the Lucheng government.

In a room at the Lucheng Guesthouse.

Han Sanping unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, took a deep drag of the cigarette in his hand, but couldn't dispel the restlessness in his heart.

What's the specific situation at the factory right now?

Han Sanping exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice slightly hoarse.

Although he was away on business, he knew about everything that was happening in the factory.

Those management members eager to demonstrate their loyalty to Wang Sheng and Xincailu acted with astonishing speed.

The assistant, who was helping to pour tea, was clearly prepared and reported in a low but clear voice: "Factory Director, the situation is basically clear. The deputy factory director in charge of personnel and the head of the personnel department did indeed give... suggestive instructions regarding Wang Sheng and his group's disturbance and demand for an explanation last time."

The security department was specifically tasked with carrying out the operation by a three-person team led by the deputy section chief. The one who struck the most violently, causing Wang Sheng's head injury, was named Li Daguo.

Han Sanping listened quietly, his gaze deep and thoughtful amidst the swirling smoke.

On the day Wang Sheng got into trouble, he was in a meeting in Xingcheng. He only learned of the news afterward. The personnel situation in the factory was complicated and the situation was complex. At that time, he could only criticize both sides equally in order to maintain stability.

But now, circumstances are beyond our control.

"Is the evidence conclusive?" Han Sanping asked in a flat tone.

"It's quite sufficient. Some of the employees who were present at the time, as well as several department heads, are now willing to come forward as witnesses. The main reason is that morale in the factory is shifting, and everyone is watching Shengying Media." The assistant's answer was subtle, but the meaning was clear.

The path to wealth that Wang Sheng pioneered has given many people real hope, but it has also deprived some of their protection.

Han Sanping nodded slightly and remained silent for a moment.

He knew that this was not simply a matter of dealing with a few people; it was about making a statement, giving an explanation to Wang Sheng, and paying the “price” that Han Sanping had to pay if he were to rely on Wang Sheng and Shengying Media in the future.

"Okay, I understand." Han Sanping finally spoke, his tone decisive: "Make a note of the incident where Wang Sheng and other employees' children clashed with the factory's security department and other departments. After further investigation, we believe that the relevant personnel handled the matter in a simplistic and crude manner, which caused a negative impact. In particular, the supervisor in charge failed to supervise effectively, and the personnel department failed to provide effective guidance, so they bear an unshirkable responsibility."

He paused, then emphasized, saying each word clearly: "According to the 'Provisional Regulations on Dismissing Employees for Violations of Discipline in State-Owned Enterprises,' the relevant responsible persons, including the deputy factory director in charge of personnel, the head of the personnel department, and the security personnel who directly committed the act that day, will be reported, dismissed, and their cases will be circulated within the industry. The factory office should formulate a formal document as soon as possible, and it will be approved and implemented after I return."

"Yes, factory manager, I'll contact them right away."

……

Late at night, at Shuangyan Hotel.

After filming the wedding night pranks, Wang Sheng and the others finished their day's filming and returned to their lodgings.

Wang Sheng had just returned to his room and was about to wash his face when there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, one finds Sun Haiyang, the deputy director of the factory office.

"Mr. Wang, you're back?"

Sun Haiyang smiled broadly and spoke in a more polite tone than usual: "Director Han has been waiting for you in my room for a while. He said that since you're back, he would like you to come over."

Wang Sheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Han Sanping was waiting for him so late?
"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

He wiped his face and followed Sun Haiyang into the next room.

in the room.

Han Sanping was sitting on a single sofa watching the local news.

Seeing Wang Sheng come in, he smiled and waved while turning down the TV volume: "Finished? You've worked hard, please have a seat."

Sun Haiyang tactfully withdrew and gently closed the door behind him.

Wang Sheng sat down on another sofa: "Factory manager, did you need something from me?"

Han Sanping didn't immediately get to the point. Instead, he picked up the thermos on the table and poured Wang Sheng a glass of water. He then said in a casual manner, "The wedding went very well today. Boss Chen was very satisfied, and it seems that the other bosses behind him are also interested. The business you've been thinking about really has a bright future."

"Factory Director, you flatter me. It's all thanks to the team's hard work and the factory's support." Wang Sheng took the water glass, his tone calm. Han Sanping nodded, his gaze falling on Wang Sheng's face. His smile faded slightly, and his tone became serious: "Speaking of the factory's support, there's something I need to tell you. It's about the incident where you and Xiao Chen were beaten up last time."

Wang Sheng paused for a moment while holding the water glass, and looked up at Han Sanping.

"The factory handled it hastily before."

Han Sanping sighed, his voice turning somber as he said, "I was away on a business trip at the time, and I only learned the details when I returned."

Regardless of the cause, resorting to violence, especially against the children of employees in one's own factory, is egregious! The relevant leadership and direct responsibilities must be seriously investigated and punished!

He looked at Wang Sheng and said slowly, "I have already asked the factory office to draft a document to report and deal with the disciplinary violations of the deputy factory director in charge of personnel. The head of the personnel department and the security guards who took action that day have all been dismissed in accordance with regulations."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Wang Sheng looked at Han Sanping and understood.

This is not justice delayed, but...

He was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, his tone flat: "Thank you, factory director, for upholding justice."

Han Sanping carefully observed Wang Sheng's reaction, and seeing how calm he was, he thought even more highly of the young man.

He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and he can remain calm and composed; he has the potential to accomplish great things.

"This is what the factory should do." Han Sanping waved his hand, then changed the subject and finally got to the real point: "Xiao Wang, the main reason I called you here today is to talk to you about the future cooperation between Shengying Media and the factory."

He looked at Wang Sheng and said, "The path you've blazed is wider than I imagined! But with your current manpower and equipment, it will be difficult to grow rapidly and become stronger, especially in the high-end business, where film cameras and professional talent are the bottlenecks."

Wang Sheng didn't respond, quietly waiting for Han Sanping to continue.

"My thought is this," Han Sanping said with an undeniable decisiveness, "the factory will fully support you! As for equipment, as long as it doesn't affect the filming of key movie projects, you'll be given priority!"
Photography, lighting, sound recording, makeup, editing… the factory's experienced technicians and key technical personnel are available for temporary deployment whenever you need them. All the factory's resources are at your disposal!

Han Sanping further explained, "You and your team have already figured out how this market works. With the factory providing logistical and technical support, we can work together from both inside and outside and completely dominate this market!"

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation!
With the backing of Beijing Film Studio and its full resource support, Shengying Media is indeed poised for explosive growth in the high-end business sector.

After a moment's thought, Wang Sheng asked the most crucial question: "Factory manager, how will the profits be distributed?"

Han Sanping seemed to have anticipated this question and answered without hesitation, "I've calculated it carefully. Taking Mr. Chen's order as an example, if we use the factory's equipment and skilled workers, the cost can be effectively controlled between 16 and 18 yuan."

Even if we calculate the cost at 180,000, and the average order value is still 400,000, the profit margin is approximately 200,000. Of this profit, the factory takes 60%, and Shengying Media takes 40%.

This profit-sharing ratio is quite generous. If Han Sanping wanted to renege on his promise, he could simply set up a new brand, cut off Beijing Film Studio's resource support to Shengying Media, and take all the profits back to the studio.

But Han Sanping didn't do that. He has always appreciated talented people with achievements. As long as someone has achievements, even if he gets scammed once or even several times, he will still choose to invest in that person.

Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige are examples of this.

With a profit of 200,000, 40% is 80,000.

Wang Sheng lowered his head slightly and quickly calculated.

Shengying Media requires almost no investment in equipment depreciation and top-tier human resources costs. It only provides brand and channel operations, resulting in a considerable profit margin. Moreover, as the scale expands and efficiency improves, costs may be further reduced, leading to even greater profit margins.

This is less profitable than working alone, but the total volume and expansion speed will be incomparable.

More importantly, he has obtained the official "endorsement" and resource channels of the Beijing Film Studio, which gives him a lot of room for maneuver in the future.

This is a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it.

Wang Sheng raised his head again, smiled, and extended his hand: "Director Han, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

This kid...

Hearing the change in address, Han Sanping smiled helplessly and gripped his hand tightly: "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Wang. The future really depends on you young people..."

　Looks like I've offended someone. I got over a hundred comments today. "Was this written by AI from the start?" (I admit the writing is bad, but every word was painstakingly written, and I tried my best to find references that fit the plot). "Do you even know how to write web novels?" (I really don't). "You wrote the protagonist getting beaten to death (I clearly wrote him unconscious, 'possessed'), and then you went and fawned over Han Sanping, are you...?" (Calling attracting investment "fawning"—are you obsessed with being a sycophant in real life?). "What kind of entertainment novel is this?" (Who dictates how entertainment novels are written?)...and so on. Writing is hard, please stop messing with me.
