I want to make headlines

Chapter 348 Money Laundering
Beijing, 10:30 p.m.

Zhao Zhi returned home after finishing the dinner which was not as pleasant as it appeared on the surface.

My wife has already prepared hangover tea and hot towels.

After taking off his coat and changing into pajamas, Zhao Zhi drank a whole cup of tea and lay down on a chair with a hot towel wrapped around him.

"Are you in a bad mood today?" The wife was flipping through her notebook and writing, keenly aware that her husband's mood was not calm.

Zhao Zhi gave a muffled "Yeah", and suddenly tore off the hot towel from his face and put it aside, sat up: "I was humiliated by something who didn't know what to do! It was still in front of Han Sanping!"

"Huh? Who?"

"That Gan Jing who doesn't know what to do in a foreign country!" Zhao Zhi couldn't maintain his smiling face at home, and said in a hateful voice, "I don't know the north and the south because of my background in foreign countries, so I want to see him in the end. What's the matter."

"How did the conflict arise?"

Zhao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, got up and picked up the hot towel that he had thrown on the ground, and replied, "It's just asking him to play two roles, it's a shameless thing!"

"That's really not knowing what to do." Zhao Zhi's wife thought it was true, but she knew who her husband was in contact with on a daily basis, and they were all domestic first- and second-tier actors.

"Let's wait and see." Zhao Zhi let out a sigh of relief, "I'll go to the study and ask Lao Xu from the Film Production Department. Hey, this Gan Jing is really kind."

"Go ahead, in front of Han Sanping like this, he will definitely not be successful."

Zhao Zhi nodded, rubbed his face, and became smooth again before stepping into the study.

……

Two days later, Gan Jing postponed the agreed time with Li An and met with Lei Jun of Xiaomi.

"Mr. Lei, when will the mobile phone be produced?" Gan Jing has not been idle for the past two days. He went to Italy and returned to China with the confidence to face the problem of capital chain.

"The prototype can be made in another month at the latest. According to the plan, the first batch of mobile phones will be sold in November this year." Lei Jun knew the theme of today, but he was naturally dutiful in the face of shareholders' inquiries about the product. Answer conscientiously.

"Is there anything I can do in terms of publicity?" Gan Jing asked.

Lei Jun thought about it, the exposure of mobile phones is indeed not enough now, and there are indeed many places that Gan Jing can rely on for advertising.

Not to mention anything else, his Weibo followers are quite amazing.

If there is a good marketing plan, these can exert amazing energy within the expected range.

"That's true." Lei Jun smiled, "Your energy in this area will also be included in the value after evaluation. It stands to reason that employees in the early stage of entrepreneurship have the opportunity to convert their own value into shares. "

He didn't understand Gan Jing, and continued to explain: "This is an equity incentive plan, don't worry, you will not be missing, and there will be no deviation because of your star status."

"Of course, we also try not to overestimate."

Gan Jing shrugged: "You have said everything, um...the valuation of the new round of financing, I have no problem here."

"Huh?" Lei Jun glanced suspiciously at the actor. Gan Jing had always expressed a strong signal to slow down when he contacted him before.

Lei Jun's team once judged that Gan Jing's funds should not be able to keep up, but the matter of financing can be slow or urgent. The most urgent thing for Xiaomi is to make samples, so the pace of financing is not fast.

"The scale of financing this time..." Lei Jun said very calmly, "It is more than last time."

"I don't have the support of a large institution like those venture capitalists. Anyway, I still have the same money this time as last time, 1000 million US dollars." Gan Jing calmly made a decision.

Lei Jun knocked on the table to remind: "The 1000 million US dollars this time is not worth as much as last time."

In the first round of A-round financing, 1000 million US dollars was evaluated, and Gan Jing accounted for 4% of the shares. Now that the 1000 million in the second round is not only unable to increase its holdings, it may still be necessary to reduce its holdings.

Gan Jing nodded, spread his hands clearly and said, "Then that's all I can do, and don't forget to calculate the value I bring to Xiaomi in terms of marketing."

He said rather bachelorly: "In the second half of the year, I will take on the film Ang Lee's Boy School. This film is for the Oscars. I hope it will be like what you said just now. Don't overestimate or underestimate what I can bring. The value that comes. For Xiaomi, I will be more valuable than bringing this money.”

Lei Jun smiled, he didn't quite agree in his heart, but he still appreciated Gan Jing's confident attitude.

"Then let's talk about it first. I will have someone here to report to you about the details and financing trends."

"Okay." Gan Jing nodded, ending the meeting with Lei Jun.

The funds used to invest in Xiaomi were naturally not from the studio, which had a tight capital chain, but a loan from him flying to Italy in Europe with his own face.

The Italian mafia quite trusted Gan Jing's reputation, or in other words, they were also willing to use this method to launder their funds.

In a relatively short period of time, an old Italian film company announced that it would invite Gan Jing to be the protagonist to make a film that reflects social issues. As for the time, it is to be determined.

Maybe it will be shot soon, maybe it will take a long time, but anyway, the project is approved.

Gan Jing was not very willing to have much entanglement with Italy, but due to the possible domino effect of "Untouchable" being difficult to release in the mainland, he resolutely went to Italy after failing to make progress in China Film and received 2000 million euros committed funds.

The direction of the money is all skillful and legal means, which once confused Lao Chen, why did the Italian film company quickly transfer the money after finding Forrest Gump as the protagonist and producer?

Do they trust A-Gump's ability so much?

But even the director is not sure about this.

Chen Huihong thinks there is a problem with this, but at present, it has brought positive effects to the studio, so he does not intend to delve into it. In addition, this method of capital flow suddenly brought him some inexplicable familiarity .

This is like some operations when Hong Kong movies were booming in the last century, um... very dark.

The funding problem was temporarily resolved, and Gan Jing and Lao Chen maintained an inexplicable tacit understanding, and did not discuss the money much.

After the agent contacted Jiang Kun, the Huaxia Broadcasting Art Troupe responded very quickly and formally invited Gan Jing to join its radio and TV drama troupe...

Has Gan Jing ever made a TV series?No!
Fortunately, the market is already in charge this year, and the actor of this kind is naturally warmly welcome to join, the more the better.

At the same time, the national first-class actors promised by Jiang Kun also submitted their declarations in a very short time.

Gan Jing is a little younger, but compared to national first-class actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan like Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Manyu, and Liang Chaowei, mainland actors like him who have achieved success abroad are quite rare.

To some extent, being born in the Mainland and growing up in the Mainland is a plus.
