I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 159 I am the capital!
"Zhou Yang!!"

"Zhou Yang!!"

"Wow!"

"Zhou Yang! Are you here? Zhou Yang!"

"..."

On the morning of November 13th.

Inside the [Xuan Shi Entertainment] building.

Zhou Yang sat comfortably on his newly bought sofa, picked up a glass of 82 French red wine, and took a small sip.

The past six months of busy work had left him feeling slightly tired. Now that the movie was showing and he had nothing else to do, he could finally steal a moment of leisure and enjoy himself comfortably.

Zhou Yang doesn't actually have many hobbies. He just likes to enjoy tea, different kinds of red wine, listen to piano music, savor the gifts that this era has given him, and maybe make some movies and do a little bit of artistic stuff...

Life is good this way!

After taking a sip of the red wine of this era, Zhou Yang frowned slightly.

A sense of regret suddenly welled up in my heart.

The wines of this world are still somewhat different from those of the world before…

The same price, but the taste is not the same!
"It's far from perfect!"

"Hmm, go to Li Dachun's place and get some more high-end goods..."

"..."

Just as Zhou Yang lazily stretched and prepared to go to bed.

There was a knock at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingya, looking excited, rushed in from outside.

After the "Love Ferris Wheel" incident, Zhang Jingya officially joined [Xuan Shi Entertainment]. Somewhat disheartened, she gave up her director position and began to try her hand at being Zhou Yang's agent.

Okay, so he's called an agent, but he's really just a live-in assistant who does the work and buys meals for Zhou Yang.

Seeing Zhang Jingya rush in, Zhou Yang frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"The KSA brand invited us to be their spokesperson. They called us and asked if we're available tomorrow. The president of their China region wants to interview us personally!"

Zhang Jingya could hardly contain her excitement!

In fact, she was completely stunned when she first saw the brand!
Then, in disbelief, followed by shock, and then excitement that made my head feel like it was going to explode, I immediately called Zhou Yang, but no one answered the phone, so I hurriedly ran to Zhou Yang's office.

【KSA】!
This is a major international brand!

It's also a top-tier luxury clothing brand!

She had heard of this brand since her student days!
She couldn't even dream that one day she would come into contact with such a brand.

"Oh? Let me see?"

Zhou Yang silently placed the red wine on the table, sat up straight, and then took the documents handed to him by Zhang Jingya.

The excited and thrilled expression that Zhang Jingya had imagined did not appear on Zhou Yang's face. Instead, Zhou Yang looked unusually calm, without even the slightest ripple.

"Zhou Yang, I'll go prepare right now. I just contacted a makeup artist, a beautician, and a professional image stylist. They'll be here soon! We'll be fully prepared tonight, and we'll go for the audition tomorrow!"

Hearing Zhang Jingya's excited voice, Zhou Yang shook his head: "What's the rush for a brand endorsement? They haven't even mentioned the endorsement fee yet..."

"But, but, if it really works out, the endorsement fee won't be cheap, at least in the tens of millions. And this is [KSA], endorsed by internationally renowned superstars. If you can get this endorsement, then your net worth, your status in the industry, you... Even if you don't get it, we'll still be amazing! Zhou Yang, you have no idea how powerful the [KSA] brand is... When I was at [Tianyu], Chen Liang practiced aristocratic etiquette countless times specifically for this endorsement..." Zhang Jingya rattled off a long string of words, getting more and more excited as she spoke.

Zhou Yang casually placed the documents on the table, calmly shaking his head: "If someone relies on a brand to elevate themselves, then, in my opinion, it's a failure..."

"Huh?" Zhang Jingya saw Zhou Yang stand up, silently walk to the window, and look down at the bright lights below.

Moonlight streamed through the window and shone on his face. His handsome face was filled with a maturity and composure beyond his years. In particular, his unique temperament made Zhang Jingya momentarily lose her composure!

Somehow!

She suddenly remembered the day she first met Zhou Yang...

That day, that early morning.

He stood next to the Audi, wearing sunglasses, exuding an air of pretentiousness that made her unable to resist taking another look.

"Those who rely on a brand to enhance their own image are losers. True success comes from those who build their brand step by step through their own efforts. That's true success!" Zhou Yang looked ahead, his gaze profound, his voice deep, as if he were a successful person who had weathered many storms, standing at a great height, looking down at everything below.

Zhang Jingya opened her mouth, but found that all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

She admitted that for a moment, she was impressed by Zhou Yang's show-off attitude.

"Then, Zhou Yang, we..."

"Eat and drink as usual tonight, sleep as usual, just like you normally would. No need for anything complicated, I'll just take a quick shower..."

"Oh, well, I bought you a KSA brand suit. Wear it to the audition tomorrow; it should give you a boost..."

"how much is it?"

"Two hundred thousand...that's the best one, the same one Chen Liang wore. Chen Liang should be using that one tomorrow..."

"Refund! Refund!"

"what?"

"Remember, we're here to make money, not to make money for others! Two hundred thousand yuan could buy me a movie, and besides, I'm the spokesperson for [European Suits]..."

"Wait, Zhou Yang, you're not going to wear this tomorrow..."

As if he had just thought of something!
Zhang Jingya was instantly horrified!
Zhou Yang, that guy who thrives on chaos...

What if tomorrow...?

....................................

"Everyone, do you have any suggestions on this?"

"I hope everyone can help us find investment!"

"I have high hopes for the [Qinzhou G1] project; it can absolutely revive our factory!"

"..."

Late at night!

[Qinzhou Auto], in the conference room.

An indescribable somber atmosphere permeated the entire conference room.

The veterans and executives of Qinzhou Automobile sat silently in their chairs, looking at the Qinzhou G1 plan in their hands. The plan clearly outlined Qinzhou Automobile's next steps: first, to reorganize the production line and invest all resources into the production and deployment of the new Qinzhou G1; second, to restructure the workforce and eliminate redundant and idle workers.

In addition to these, there are a series of project innovations, equipment purchases, etc.

Looking at this series of arrangements, and listening to Liu Fusheng's words from the main seat.

They chose to remain silent, not uttering a single word.

Just recently, Qinzhou Auto had a stroke of good luck and received an order for a new car.

After receiving the order, Liu Fusheng overcame all opposition, took out a substantial loan, and set up a temporary production line entirely on the Qinzhou G1. He used all available resources and invested heavily to produce a single new Qinzhou G1 and successfully delivered it…

This seems like the first step towards success!
But the first car actually resulted in a loss!

It sells for 8.5 yuan, but the cost of manufacturing the car is at least 20 yuan!

Building a car from scratch is extremely expensive!

For the car industry to make money, you first need high production volume. With high production volume, various spare parts will become cheaper, and only then can you reduce costs...

After the car was delivered, Liu Fusheng, who was facing a huge financial crisis, gathered them together in the conference room.

He spoke passionately about his vision for the future of Qinzhou Automobile and gave everyone a plan, hoping that these veterans could mobilize their resources to help Qinzhou Automobile get through the darkness before dawn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the release of 'Love Rollercoaster,' our Qinzhou G1 has gained some online recognition! Although we haven't received any actual orders yet, isn't this a good start? According to the latest data survey, some netizens have expressed interest in purchasing our vehicles..."

Looking at everyone, Liu Fusheng took out several sets of internet data and had his assistant distribute them to each of the elders.

Data shows that the movie "Love Rollercoaster" has significantly increased online discussion about the Qinzhou G1 car!
Online, thousands of people are discussing this car, and even their after-sales department has received some inquiries.

Although there are no orders yet, this is definitely a good start!
After reading it, the elders remained silent.

Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, Liu Fusheng took a deep breath!

"Everyone here owns shares in Qinzhou Automobile, but right now, the value of one share has dropped from 3 million last year to 2 million. If Qinzhou G1 Automobile succeeds—no, if everyone can help us through this difficult time—I guarantee that within six months, your shares will double, or even triple!"

"Everyone, we've already built up our influence; all we need is a little funding and support!"

"..."

Liu Fusheng made a passionate promise to each shareholder and veteran.

They even promised to sign contracts, including performance-based agreements.

But in the end...

All I got in return was silence.

One of the elderly men stood up and sighed, “Mr. Liu, I know you want to make our factory successful, but… I’m sorry, we won’t risk our own money for you. I own 5% of the shares, and if someone wanted them for 1000 million, I would have sold them long ago… Besides, Mr. Liu, if you hadn’t been dragging your feet on signing the transfer of the ‘car manufacturing license,’ would our share price have dropped from 300 million to 200 million?”

“Yes!” Another middle-aged man stood up. “Mr. Liu, we don’t blame you. After all, we know you want to do something. But, having weathered many storms, we all know that [Qinzhou Auto] has no future…”

"Yes! Mr. Liu, let's just forget about it... If you listen to us, sell the car manufacturing license. It's the only valuable thing we have left. Otherwise, then..."

"..."

One voice after another rang out.

Liu Fusheng looked at each face and immediately closed his eyes.

More than ten minutes later.

The meeting, which ended in discord, finally came to a close.

Sitting in the empty conference room, Liu Fusheng closed his eyes in despair.

For a long time.

He took out a cell phone and dialed Zhou Yang's number.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to call you so late..."

"【Qinzhou G1】, we can no longer produce it..."

"We are desperately short of money right now..."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry..."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

Immediately afterwards...

"Here's the deal: 150 million per share. Ask your shareholders if they're willing to sell. If they are, I'll take it..."

"..."

........................

early morning.

Zhou Yang had originally planned to get some rest.

I just finished a call with Liu Fusheng from Qinzhou Auto.

I was just about to check how much money I have now...

The phone rang again.

The call was from coal mine owner Li Dachun.

"Mr. Zhou, are you asleep?"

"No, Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhou, would you like to chat?"

"Hmm, what are you talking about?"

"Mr. Zhou, I won't waste any more time. You're smart, so tell me, if my coal mine can't make any money, what should I invest in?"

"What do you mean?"

"I had a few drinks today and read a book called 'Crisis Investment.' It makes me wonder if our coal mine will last much longer. I have a lot of money on hand... but I don't know what to do with it... I was thinking of investing in your movie, but you don't seem to need any investment right now... Could you help me figure out what I could invest in..."

"Investing involves risks..."

"I won't invest much, just fifty or sixty million... If I lose it, I lose it, damn it! That book was too harsh, it kept me up at night..."

"..."

(I'm feeling really bad today, so there won't be a third update. I went to a foot massage parlor...)
