independent filmmaker

When I woke up the next day, Xie Lansheng remembered to ask: "Xin Ye, Mr. Xin, you asked me to recommend two reliable friends in mid-June. I recommended Zhang Shijie and Wang Zhongmin, and they joined Deep Blue later. Could it be that at that time? Are you preparing for an anti-takeover?"

"Well," Xin Ye nodded, "In the first half of 2015, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets were too crazy. On June 6, the Shenzhen Component Index closed at 12 points, a record high. During the market break on June 13141, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued a document on Weibo, saying that it would Restraining the 'mad bull', I also said something else. After the market opened on June 6, the Shanghai and Shenzhen plummeted for a whole week. I feel that after the continuous madness, A shares are ushering in a downward period. If the stock market has been in a downturn, the barbarians will definitely enter In the market, Deep Blue Pictures is a piece of fat. It is normal to be targeted, but it is abnormal not to be targeted. So, just in case, I recruited two executives—they promised to Voluntarily resign and cancel shares to prevent Deep Blue from being controlled. In this way, because the two executives of Deep Blue voluntarily resigned, they were not fired, and the acquirer and the Securities Regulatory Commission can’t tell anything. If I just hold 13% of the shares, Even 6% may not make them give up. Now it is easier to catch the acquirer by surprise. Moreover, the acquisition of Golden Crane and The Paper failed, and the stock price of Deep Blue Pictures is high. Others will be discouraged. The future should be relatively safe. The agent did a good job."

Xinye doesn't want to have more money than anyone else.He doesn't have that much cash either, besides, he has tens or tens of billions to do something wrong, to buy his own company's stock.

"So that's how it is..." Xie Lansheng said, "So you are planning for a rainy day. In fact, you didn't expect that the acquirers are The Paper and Golden Crane Insurance."

"Actually, I kind of thought of it." Xinye stirred his cereal, "Paper Films is not doing well, and they want to learn from Shenlan, or copy. As for Jinhe, the temptation to control both Thepago and Shenlan at the same time The power is very strong, not to mention that Deep Blue has real estate. If they succeed, I guess Jin He will not want to engage in commercial films, but will want to engage in literary films to increase profits.”

Xie Lansheng nodded, feeling that Xinye was indeed "yin".

"Okay," Xin Ye put away his plate, "I'm going to the company right away."

"Well," Xie Lansheng said, "I go to the production company during the day. "One Day" started in October, but the mixing work of "Going to Yueyang" is still a little bit behind."

"Okay, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

…………

Xin Ye drove to the company, but after half a day, he heard the news that Jinhe and Pengpai would continue to buy into Deep Blue Films. After a while, the two of them bought 25.5%.

They want to put all their eggs in one basket and make a full acquisition of Deep Blue.

If it were any other company, 99% would give up and give up, but Jin He was very paranoid and had complete delusions about Deep Blue.

"No," said the director secretary of Deep Blue Films, "Where did they get so much money?!"

"I can probably guess it." Xinye crossed his long legs, crossed his fingers, and smiled softly, "They still haven't given up...well, I've given them two chances."

Deep Blue Board Secretary: "...Huh?"

That night, the secretary of the board knew the meaning of Xinye's words.

The big drama "Golden Crane Surging Acquires Deep Blue" has been updated again, and this time it is still a round of speculation.

"Fuck me!" Netizens said, "It's more frequent than starting the article!"

This time, another financial big V released two online revelations.

The first one is that several funds of Jinhe Insurance were misappropriated for acquisitions.The misappropriated private equity funds have adopted non-public offerings, with a total scale of more than 84 billion, which was directly sold by Jinhe Insurance.In Jinhe’s explanation, the investment of these funds is relatively stable “bank bills”, but the whistleblower said that in fact, these funds have been transferred to the acquisition of Deep Blue, and have not been invested in bank bills. Misappropriation of fund property is illegal and will be punished, although this phenomenon is now common and repeatedly prohibited.

The second revelation is that because of illegal misappropriation of funds, Golden Crane Insurance is also quite worried that the fund will not be able to pay when it expires, which will cause the fund to default. In the past, there was no default in the fund, and the government would cover the organization. However, the policy has changed in recent years. up.Therefore, it and The Paper used their "inside information" to set up several "vulture funds".

The so-called vulture fund refers to the purchase of defaulted bonds that companies cannot honor at a low price—often at a discount of [-]%—and then resort to litigation, negotiation, etc. to make huge profits.

But in China, vulture funds often look to the government to bail them out.After the company has issued bonds, if it finds that it is still not paid, it will often turn to the government for help. The government either leads the financing or injects state capital to selectively help the company complete the payment and tide over the difficulties.Generally speaking, large state-owned enterprises or large private enterprises that can receive government assistance are either in good operating condition but encounter urgent needs, or can exert a certain influence on employment and the economy.Against this background, Jinhe and Pengpai secretly asked investors to buy at low prices, and then waited for the government to take over the defaulted bonds.

In other words, they are pulling the government's wool.

When the news broke out, a well-known senior professor at Renmin University of China’s School of Finance said:

[If it is true, Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures are playing a dangerous game, and they are likely to go bankrupt and lose everything.The government is not omnipotent, it cannot save everyone. 】

Netizens expressed their dizziness:

[It's actually possible to play like this! 】

Neither Golden Crane Insurance nor The Paper have issued any statements.

…………

Then, the China Securities Regulatory Commission filed a case against Jinhe, and Jinhe's insurance account was frozen.

After another period of time, the China Securities Regulatory Commission announced the results of the investigation on its official website.It said that Jinhe had constituted misappropriation of fund assets, ordered Jinhe to rectify and imposed a fine of 100 million yuan, and several directly responsible persons were banned from the securities market for life.

Golden Crane Insurance has been the largest shareholder of The Paper for many years. The company was implicated, and the stock price plummeted.

Previously, Guan Youren, the founder of The Paper and the son of the former Xiaoxiang factory director, pledged 99.8% of the shares in exchange for funds equivalent to half of the stock value. The pledged surging stocks first fell below the 80% warning line, and then fell below the 70% liquidation line.At first, The Paper tried its best to cover up its positions and tenaciously resisted, adding more collateral, but it failed. The stock price of The Paper continued to fall, and the suspension of trading once did not work. The Paper did not have funds to repurchase. The huge risk of this sum of money sold Guan Youren's pledged stocks in large quantities and forced liquidation to ensure that he would not lose money because of borrowing money.

The surging film industry actually broke its position, and the onlookers were dumbfounded.Although, in 2015, there were endless bursts of A-share liquidation.

Forced liquidation often means the transfer of control of the company, and Guan Youren was not spared.

After Guan Youren was forced to reduce a large number of stocks by Industrial Securities, his shareholding slipped to the third place in The Paper.The original third largest shareholder took advantage of this wave to eat a lot and jumped to the first place, while Jinhe Insurance fell to the second place.

In other words, because of the acquisition of Deep Blue Pictures, Golden Crane Insurance misappropriated 84 billion private equity funds and was punished by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.As for Peng Meiying, more than half of the money obtained from the equity pledge was also used for acquisitions, but in the end it was forced to close the position and lost the second shareholder.

At the same time, due to the successful anti-acquisition of the company, the stock price of Deep Blue rose instead of falling.

Lan Sheng could only sigh slightly.

He couldn't help thinking, Factory Director Guan, Guan Youren, how are they doing now?

Director Guan is slick and sophisticated, and his son is also slick and sophisticated.

At the beginning, Director Guan had promised that he would be able to make films after entering the factory. As for himself, he was deceived, suffering and suffocating.When he finally got the copy of "Children of the Rivers and Lakes" that no one wanted, the factory director appointed Nakazuru Ike, a well-connected household, as the chief director, and then...

The same goes for his son. When "Love at First Sight" was released, The Paper first posted negative reviews, and then said that he was an actress, and now he wants to swallow Deep Blue.

But others are not always fools.

…………

On the day The Paper "changed ownership", Xin Ye said to Xie Lansheng: "The current largest shareholder of The Paper is not bad. It has a long-term vision and a good business reputation. It is better for Guan Youren to hang out with them than to be with Jinhe. Mix well."

"En." Xie Lansheng nodded.

After a while, he asked, "Is Deep Blue still stable?"

"Yes." Xinye replied, "My shares are currently 30.05%, and the company's executives own 8%. They are 100% on my side, and the third shareholder is similar, and they can basically get together. 51%, which is twice that of Jin He and the others, enough. The most important company matters only require two-thirds of the votes. As for Deep Blue’s board of directors, they can only enter one person.”

"Well, okay, I finally understand why you put their shares at 25% a while ago. So that's how it is." Xie Lansheng said, "My mother sent me WeChat with me yesterday, and asked if you want Deep Blue Pictures to acquire the 'Consummation Movie' The company'. In this way, shares are for shares, and I also have a part of the shares of Deep Blue Films, and I can help you secretly." The "our mother" in his mouth refers to Xin Ye's mother in the United States.

Xinye raised his eyes and asked with a smile, "Have you thought about it?"

"No." Xie Lansheng asked, "What about you? Have you thought about it?"

"nor."

Xie Lansheng looked deeply at Xinye with affection.

Xinye understood him completely, and didn't even ask him.

If Consummation Film Company was directly acquired by Deep Blue, then his Consummation Film Company would belong to Deep Blue Film Industry.He is investing in and helping independent films, and he doesn't want his director to think that "success" is backed by capital.He wants to convey a meaning: he can be the master of everything, his likes, his promises, all can be trusted.Independent films are always accompanied by many controversies and criticisms. They discuss important matters and offend certain groups of people. Every film by Xie Lansheng makes some people want to kill him. Therefore, if "consummation" is backed by capital, independent directors will definitely Thinking: Will Deep Blue Pictures make a movie about xxx?Will Deep Blue Pictures let its own company's stock drop?Will Deep Blue Pictures modify the script and intervene in the filming?Of course, there will be some directors who think that relying on Deep Blue can make more money, but this is not what Xie Lansheng wants to achieve.What's more, "Consummation Movies" has been casting for some films that are extremely difficult to pass the review. Bear with excess.Consummation is now responsible for its own profits and losses, which is very good.

"Anyway," Xie Lansheng didn't know what he was "in short", "I joined the crew on Monday, and "One Day" is about to start. Everything is finally settled, and I can finally feel more at ease."

Xin Ye smiled: "Then does Director Xie have any special arrangements for this weekend?"

"No," Xie Lansheng thought for a while and said, "I want to relax myself, seeing that there is going to be a war again."

"Then I arrange this 'relaxation'?"

Xie Lansheng said, "Okay."

Xin Ye said: "Then, thank you Director for taking two days out of your busy schedule to 'relax and relax'."

"No," Xie Lansheng shook his head suddenly after hearing this: "I didn't want to make films in those two days, not 'Director Xie'. When I'm not making films, I'm not a director."

At this age, for the sake of his health, Xie Lansheng occasionally evades his identity as a "director".This identity is too much responsibility and too much pressure.

"Oh?" Xin Ye teased him, "It's not a director, what is that? What is the definition?"

"what is it then……"

Xie Lansheng discovered that he knew nothing but making movies.Others can be a master of online games, a gourmet expert, an athlete, or a...but he can only make movies and not do anything else, he can't even do housework, and he doesn't know how to live.He has energy when he has movies, and he has no energy when he doesn’t have movies. He is absent-minded and can’t get refuge in his heart, so he doesn’t have any other hobbies.He seems to have been in this line of work since he was born, movies are his own, how can he be good at anything else.

Only when he is with Xin Ye, or looking at each other, or talking, or hugging, kissing, or having sex, his heart is also filled, and there is no place to put it.

"Maybe..." After getting the answer, Xie Lansheng hugged Xin Ye, kissed his chin, and said, "Maybe, full-time, your lover."

The author has something to say: A certain big director is nearly half a century old (not), and still flirts with his husband every day.

In reality, forced liquidation is not so fast, there is a seesaw between the two sides, and the progress is accelerated in the novel, otherwise it will be too scattered!
