I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 329 How about we take on a few GGs?

Ye Xian smiled and said, "We rely on Haizhou, which has so many abundant coconut tree resources. Why don't we create a pure natural coconut juice brand that is healthy and delicious?"

Besides that, most of our funds will be used to build that offline milk tea shop. If this business is successful, I guarantee we'll be set for life!

Wang Dalong and Li Dagang exchanged glances, all seeing the excitement in each other's eyes: "Indeed, choosing to follow Brother Xian was the right decision!"

The group left happily.

Seeing that the Sixth Princess looked tired, Ye Xian asked if she wanted to rest. The Sixth Princess shook her head, indicating that she would move on to the next negotiation partner.

Her time is precious, and she doesn't have much time to spend with Ye Xian.

……

Ding Ding, the goddess, was invited in, along with Liu Dong, the boss of Tianmu Pictures, and Bai Jie of Baixiang Entertainment.

As soon as Liu Dong and Bai Jie entered, they hurriedly greeted the Sixth Princess, and then exchanged greetings with Ye Xian and the others.

The Sixth Princess took out three scripts and tossed them to Liu Dong, Ding Ding, and Bai Jie, indicating that they should look at the script outlines.

As the three watched, Li Yunxi looked at Ye Xian and couldn't help but mock him, "Your ability to spend money is better than your ability to make it!"

Ye Xian was also a little embarrassed: "How about I give up controlling stake and sell you more shares instead?"

Li Yunxi waved his hand and said, "Two small factories are nothing to me. I can just treat them as pocket money. Besides, you've already given me a lot of shares in the winery. I can't let you suffer any more losses."

Ye Xian knew that Li Yunxi wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, but he was determined to stick with this powerful figure because he knew very well that in the Tang Dynasty, the status of a royal merchant was more useful than anything else.

If you want to do offline business, you must hold onto the identity of a royal merchant.

……

Qiu Qing remained silent, sitting quietly to the side, diligently studying these business merger and acquisition cases that she had previously only learned about in books.

In just two hours, she completed negotiations on the capital increase and share expansion of two physical enterprises worth over 100 million yuan, which gave her a higher level of understanding of business.

But the shock we're about to bring her today goes far beyond that.

After reading the three movie scripts, Liu Dong and Bai Jie were both quite interested. They were all seasoned players and could guess the quality of a script at a glance. Moreover, since Princess Liu had brought them out to discuss, she must have done thorough market research.

The next step is to select a good director and suitable actors, but these are all follow-up tasks, and with the current level of film industry in the Tang Dynasty, they are not a problem at all.

At this moment, the Sixth Princess spoke up: "The estimated investment for these three films is 1 million each. The original copyright, screenwriter, lead actor, and marketing all belong to Ye Xian. Ye Xian's salary, copyright, and all related remuneration will be valued at 35% of the shares. Ye Xian only needs to increase the cash investment by 1000 million for each film. This is the same distribution method as for 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."

The remaining issue is how the three of us should divide the remaining 65%. I wonder if you have any objections?

Liu Dong and Bai Jie exchanged a glance and nodded, indicating that they had no objections. They didn't know how much money these three movies would make, but they were certain that following Princess Liu would be a good deal. Even if all three movies lost money, Princess Liu would make up for it for the two companies in future investments.

In fact, what made them happiest today was that they had hitched a ride on the Sixth Princess's coattails. This is the same idea as Ye Xian starting a business and needing to get close to the Sixth Princess.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the entertainment industry, the Sixth Princess was an insurmountable obstacle.

Starting three films simultaneously is definitely challenging, especially since Ye Xian has already been cast as the lead, and Ye Xian's current project, "Dream of the Red Chamber," is still in production. This necessitates careful planning for all three films.

Therefore, of the three films that entered the pre-production stage, only one is actually going to be filmed.

……

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Xian pointed to "Hello Mr. Billionaire" and said, "I'm not sure if the other two films will make money, so I suggest we shoot this comedy first. If we're quick, we should be able to make it into this year's Spring Festival season."

Ding Ding waited a long time before finally getting a chance to interject: "What about the female lead in this drama?"

Ye Xian shrugged: "Sister Ding, this movie only cost 1 million to make. Don't you know how much your appearance fee is? I'm not prepared to hire a big star like you."

Ding Ding gritted her teeth: "In exchange for film fees, I'll trade you shares."

Liu Dong was taken aback. What was wrong with his leading lady? Was she determined to star in a comedy? This wasn't a good thing for her acting career!

The Sixth Princess nodded and said, "We'll discuss the lead actor after the director is decided. As for the investment ratio, I'll contribute 6000 million, taking 43%, and your two families will contribute a total of 3000 million, taking 22%. This will be the distribution method for all three films. Is that alright with you?"

Liu Dong and Bai Jie both said there was no problem, and the investment ratio for the film was settled.

Five deals were closed in one morning. Ye Xian now owes 85 million yuan: 5 million yuan for the final payment on renovations, 35 million yuan for the investment in Hai Ma Food Factory, 15 million yuan for the investment in a winery, and 30 million yuan for the investment in three movies.

This doesn't even include the money spent on investing in the resort. The Sixth Princess didn't mention it, and Ye Xian didn't dare to respond.

Yeah, I'm broke again!

Or how about we take a few gigs?

Ye Xian felt the pressure increase exponentially.

Come to think of it, didn't I originally intend to make a little money and then stop?

How come it's getting bigger and bigger?

……

After having lunch with the Sixth Princess, Ye Xian led Qiu Qing and the others back to the film set.

Putting on makeup, acting, removing makeup, and rushing between live broadcasts.

Although Qiu Qing knew from her mother's introduction and the live broadcast that Ye Xian was very busy, she did not expect him to be this busy.

"Didn't we already do a live stream yesterday? Why are we doing another one today?"

On the way back.

Qiu Qing handed Ye Xian a cup of hot tea and massaged his temples to help him relieve some stress.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang Feifei pouted. These used to be all her job!

"My live stream is synchronized with the release of short videos. Today, according to the plan, I am going to release a new song, so tonight's live stream is a normal live stream. Moreover, the originally scheduled guests have already arrived, so I have to go ahead with the broadcast."

Yesterday's live stream was a birthday celebration, an exception.

Ye Xian was aware that today's live stream was a bit rushed, but some things had become a habit, so he was willing to endure the hardship.

Ye Xian casually opened his phone and saw various messages about himself on Kuaishou.

After a day of buzz, news about her birthday remained high, while gossip about her was flying everywhere.

Among them, a short video from a familiar account made even Ye Xian's scalp tingle.

"Good afternoon, my cocoa fans!"

"Today I'm going to talk about a super big piece of gossip. I'm telling you, from last night until now, everyone in every circle has been talking about this gossip, and I'm sure you all already know about it."

The question is, how many of you have truly understood this gossip?

Oh, whose gossip are you asking about?

Whose gossip is as entertaining as Brother Xian's these days?

Coco didn't sleep a wink last night, reviewing Brother Xian's several-hour livestream three times, extracting the highlights. Without further ado, sisters, let's get to the gossip!
