Chapter 379: I'll Give You the Remaining Two Hundred Million to Play With! The Dominant Su Yang!

What made Su Yang care about Lin Yi was probably her network of connections and that professional production team formed by the backbone of the Meishan Television Production Factory.

Among the many film and television companies in Rongcheng, Lin Yi Film and Television was at least part of the higher-quality, comprehensive group.

Many small film and television companies didn't even have a fixed crew for filming movies or television; they had no foundation at all!

Furthermore, the shareholding structure of Linyi Film and Television was very simple, with Lin Yi holding 100% of the shares.

It seemed that after the major shareholder ran away, the minor shareholders also slipped away... No one could stand losing money for several years in a row!

Whether it was an acquisition or taking a controlling stake, it would be relatively simple.

Su Yang got straight to the point: "My idea is that the investment and filming projects for movies and television need to be led by the parent company."

"Led by whom specifically? It wouldn't be President Yu, would it?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly; she hadn't expected Su Yang to try to "seize power" as soon as they started talking!

To be honest, she didn't like partners who were too dominant.

Because she herself was quite dominant!

"It should be me!"

Su Yang said with a smile.

"By you?"

Lin Yi felt that having Su Yang lead was even harder to accept than having Yu Siying lead!

At least Yu Siying was older!

Lin Yi couldn't help but question Su Yang: "Has President Su ever been involved in the film and television drama industry before?"

"No!" Su Yang shook his head honestly, then added, "But I do enjoy watching TV dramas when I'm free!"

Su Yang, of course, wasn't telling the whole truth.

In fact, he hadn't watched a domestic TV series in years.

"President Su, why do you want to enter the film and television industry?! Purely to make money? Or do you want to promote someone?"

"To make money, of course!"

Making money was a must; as for promoting someone, that depended on his mood and the other person's talent and ability!

Su Yang wasn't like the coal bosses of the past who would throw away a fortune for a beautiful woman!

Lin Yi said in a heavy voice, "President Su, I believe I am more professional than you in this industry!"

"But looking at the operating conditions of Linyi Film and Television over the years, President Lin's so-called professionalism... is also quite limited," Su Yang smiled. "If I continue to let you manage it, are you sure I won't end up running away like that major shareholder?"

Many people in the film and television circle have black hearts; the whole world knows it!

Even those financial vampires on Wall Street in the USA have been screwed over by Hollywood.

Lin Yi might not go as far as to screw over the shareholders, but the risk of investing in the film and television industry was still very high. Su Yang had to have the leading authority!

Lin Yi's expression stiffened, finding it somewhat difficult to refute Su Yang's words.

She indeed prided herself on being professional, but the facts were right there: the company was losing money!

"Our Spark Media has only been established for over a year, but it's already quite famous in Rongcheng. If we were to estimate its value, its market capitalization should be stronger than Lin Yi, which has been developing for seven or eight years, right?"

Lin Yi stubbornly said, "These are different tracks, they can't be compared!"

"Lin Yi, President Su's vision is very accurate. Whether the influencers our company signs can become popular, President Su has a good idea just by looking at them!" Yu Siying said from the side. "The fact that Spark Media could develop to its current state, my contribution only accounts for a small portion!"

Lin Yi took a deep look at Su Yang. She didn't entirely believe Yu Siying's words, but she believed Su Yang must have extraordinary qualities.

Otherwise, how could someone so young convince a strong woman like Yu Siying and become the chairman of a group company?

However, she still asked, "If all the projects are led by President Su and we lose money, what happens then?"

"I'll be responsible, of course!"

"But I would also be losing money!"

"Then just sell all of Lin Yi's shares to me!" Su Yang said in a relaxed tone. "You serve as the General Manager, and I'll give you a relatively high annual salary, plus a 5% dividend!"

Lin Yi's ability was naturally beyond question—Expert-level film and television company management ability and Proficient-level production management ability!

Her talent was also in the direction of management, and it was three-star, which was quite rare.

She was perfectly capable of serving as the General Manager of a film and television company.

Lin Yi's eyes flickered. She really hadn't thought about selling the company; she just wanted to bring in a major shareholder!

"I need to consider this!"

Lin Yi didn't completely shut the door on the idea.

"Sure!" Su Yang promised Lin Yi. "If you agree to sell the company to me, I can inject no less than three hundred million in capital into Linyi Film and Television within three years. I can also give your employees a raise. Our Jufan Holdings treats its employees quite well!"

Three hundred million in capital?

Lin Yi couldn't help but swallow hard.

Don't think that three hundred million is a small amount; the film and television industry has been gradually shrinking lately!

Coal bosses aren't throwing money around anymore, real estate moguls are struggling, internet capital has become cautious, and ordinary investors are getting more and more stingy.

Sometimes it's very common for a single movie project to have ten, twenty, or even thirty companies co-investing.

Everyone is sharing the risk with each other!

And don't look at movie box offices that easily reach hundreds of millions or over a billion; those are big projects that only large companies dare to take on, with costs easily exceeding a hundred million!

Three hundred million was an astronomical figure for a small company like Linyi Film and Television!

She hadn't smelled the stench of such large-scale capital in a long time!

Perhaps... seeking refuge with large capital was the way out?

If she continued like this, she might really have to sell everything she owned!

Moreover, if things continued this way, the only presentable star she had on hand... would probably want to run away too!

"I personally appreciate President Lin very much!" Su Yang thought for a moment and added, "I also know you're questioning my ability, but we can reach a compromise!"

"What kind of compromise?"

Lin Yi asked in a low voice.

"I will lead the project investments in the initial stage of the company. If we spend one hundred million and there's no overall profit, then the remaining two hundred million will be yours to play with!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath!

The remaining two hundred million for me to play with?

To be honest, she was particularly envious of Su Yang's tone, as if money meant nothing to him.

But coming from Su Yang's mouth, it sounded perfectly natural!

At this moment, Lin Yi felt like the Su Yang in front of her was shining with golden light.

Once Linyi Film and Television had a large amount of capital, she could transform herself and raise her status in the circle by a whole level!

"President Su, Lin Yi is very important to me!" Lin Yi resisted the temptation and said in a low voice, "Can you let me consider it a bit more?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Yi's tone could no longer remain tough.

Su Yang asked curiously, "President Lin, can I ask what Linyi Film and Television means to you?"

Lin Yi smiled. "I have a strong career drive... and a similar desire for control. I also love this industry!"

Su Yang also felt a certain liking for Lin Yi's honesty: "I can promise that after the acquisition, the company won't have to change its name."

"Uh..."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I will consider it seriously!"

This was equivalent to giving her the naming rights!

"Good!" Su Yang turned his gaze to Yu Siying. "President Yu, put the word out to the people in the Rongcheng film and television industry. Ask if anyone is willing to join Spark Media. The price is negotiable!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Yu Siying nodded with a serious expression.

"President Lin, I'm sorry!" Su Yang said to Lin Yi in an apologetic tone. "Entering the film and television industry is a strategic development direction set by the group company. We cannot wait too long for anyone."

Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "I understand!"

After Su Yang left, it was a long time before Lin Yi said to Yu Siying, "President Yu, your big boss is truly dominant!"

She had already discovered that since the conversation with Su Yang started, she had been completely suppressed!

Unknowingly, she had taken a weak position and been pushed into a corner by Su Yang!

"President Su has a very good temper in private and is generous to his employees... and our group company has the strength to be a bit dominant, right?" Yu Siying said with a smile. "Besides, Linyi Film and Television isn't our only option!"
