Chapter 384 Behind the Script
Chapter 384 Behind the Script
Zhang Jianjun left the restaurant. It was already dark, and the neon lights of the city looked particularly blurred in the wetness after the rain. He got into the car. The driver, Xiao Li, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the boss get in the car, he immediately started the car and drove to Zhang Jianjun's mansion in the city center. In the car, Zhang Jianjun closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was like a movie replaying, sorting out all the details of what happened tonight over and over again.
Yang Mi's seemingly impeccable enthusiasm and temptation, Reba's initiative and teasing, and the script that he saw through at a glance, all seemed so unusual. Especially the change in Yang Mi's expression when he answered the phone, which made him believe that there must be a secret behind it.
After returning home, Zhang Jianjun did not rest immediately. Instead, he sat at the desk in the study, turned on the computer, connected to the company's internal network, and began to look up all the information about Yang Mi and her new film project. As the information continued to gather, a vague outline gradually became clear. It turned out that the film Yang Mi was planning to shoot was not as promising as she said, but was facing the risk of failure due to a broken capital chain. The reason why she was so eager to find investment and even used the honey trap was to save this project that was about to collapse.
What shocked Zhang Jianjun even more was that there were complex conflicts of interest behind this project, involving the game of many bigwigs in the industry. Yang Mi was just a pawn pushed to the front in this game.
"What a big game," Zhang Jianjun muttered to himself, with a playful smile on his face. He realized that this was not only an investment opportunity, but also a great opportunity for him to take the initiative in this capital game.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into Zhang Jianjun's study, he had already made a careful plan. He first called his secretary and asked him to continue to investigate all the details of the project, especially the interest chains hidden in the dark. At the same time, he also began to prepare for the second meeting with Yang Mi. This time, he wanted to take the initiative in the negotiations with a more proactive attitude.
A few days later, Zhang Jianjun met with Yang Mi again at a more private and high-end club. The environment here is elegant and quiet, which is very suitable for in-depth conversation.
Yang Mi arrived as promised. She was obviously surprised by Zhang Jianjun's invitation again, but she was more looking forward to it. She dressed up carefully, wearing a simple yet elegant dress that outlined her graceful figure to the fullest. However, Zhang Jianjun's eyes were unusually calm, as if he could penetrate her disguise and reach her heart.
"Jianjun, what have you thought about it?" Yang Mi asked straight to the point, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his tone.
Zhang Jianjun smiled slightly, picked up the coffee at hand slowly, took a sip, and then slowly said: "Yang Mi, I am very interested in your project, but I also have my own concerns. After all, billions of investment is not a small amount, I need to see more sincerity and guarantees."
Yang Mi's heart tightened when she heard this, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued, "Jianjun, don't worry, I'm fully prepared. The director and cast of this movie are all top-notch, and the market potential is huge. Moreover, I'm already looking for other investors to share the risk and ensure the smooth progress of the project."
Zhang Jianjun shook his head slightly, indicating that she hadn't finished speaking. "Yang Mi, I believe in your ability, but I am more concerned about the actual situation of the project. I heard that the project is currently facing a tight funding chain and may even face the risk of suspension. Is this true?"
Yang Mi's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, and she tried to cover up the truth with more words. "Jianjun, that's just a temporary difficulty, and I'm actively working on it. As long as you're willing to invest, I promise everything will be fine."
However, Zhang Jianjun was not moved by her words. He continued, "Yang Mi, I am a businessman. I invest for returns. If there are serious problems with the project itself, then no matter how good your promise is, I will not take risks easily. However, I can also give you a chance, let us solve this problem together."
At this point, Zhang Jianjun paused deliberately to observe Yang Mi's reaction. She looked puzzled and expectant, as if waiting for his next words.
"I can invest, but I want to be the largest shareholder of this project. At the same time, I want to participate in the decision-making and management of the project. Only in this way can I ensure that my investment will not be wasted." Zhang Jianjun finally stated his conditions.
Yang Mi felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She didn't expect Zhang Jianjun to put forward such harsh conditions, but this also gave her a glimpse of a turning point. If she could successfully convince Zhang Jianjun to invest and make him the largest shareholder of the project, she would not only be able to solve the current financial difficulties, but also use Zhang Jianjun's resources and influence to push the project to a new height.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi took a deep breath and nodded, "Jianjun, I can accept your conditions. However, I also hope that you can understand my difficulties and give me some time to deal with some details."
Zhang Jianjun smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction, "No problem, I can give you time. However, I hope you can give me a clear answer as soon as possible. After all, time is money."
In this way, the meeting between the two ended in a delicate atmosphere. The moment she walked out of the club, Yang Mi felt both relieved and uneasy. She knew that she was standing at a crossroads, and every step was crucial. Zhang Jianjun, on the other hand, had quietly laid out his chess game, waiting for the final victory.
In the following days, Yang Mi began to get busy. On the one hand, she actively communicated with Zhang Jianjun about the specific matters of the project, and on the other hand, she secretly looked for other investors, trying to balance the interests of all parties. Zhang Jianjun remained calm and composed, observing all these changes without making a sound.
As time went by, the progress of the project became clearer. With the strong support of Zhang Jianjun, the funding problem was effectively solved and the project regained its vitality. Zhang Jianjun also gradually took a leading role in the project with his wisdom and means. He not only successfully controlled the direction of the project, but also took this opportunity to further consolidate his position in the industry.
However, for Yang Mi, this victory was a little bitter. She realized that she was still one step behind in this capital game. But she also understood that this was reality, cruel and real. She could only accept this result silently, and try to learn lessons from it and prepare for future challenges.
As for Reba, although she only played a minor role in this storm, her performance left a deep impression on Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun saw her potential and talent and decided to bring her under his command. For Reba, this is undoubtedly a brand new beginning. Under the guidance of Zhang Jianjun, she will start her own brilliant star journey.
Behind all this is Zhang Jianjun's unfathomable scheming and planning. He proved in his own way that in this entertainment industry full of temptations and traps, only the truly wise can have the last laugh.
