Chapter 32 Humanity and Sophistication
After returning to his home in JA District, Lin Shu just chatted with his parents for a while, and then they got up anxiously and ran into the kitchen to cook.
Watching Ye Mengqin skillfully wash rice and cook, Lin Shu understood that his parents were not doing well during this period. He thought that after the movie box office was settled and Zhong Weiguo's debt was paid, he must hire a nanny for them.
However, you still have to pay taxes on the box office split. After paying off the debt, I'm afraid there won't be much money left. It seems that making money from movies is too slow after all.
Just when Lin Shu was thinking about other ways to make money, Ye Mengqin's voice came from the kitchen.
"Hey, you can't help here. It's better to go out to the living room and chat with Xiao Shu."
Lin Shaoan hasn't done any housework since he started working. He was a handyman and was kicked out by Ye Mengqin after he had only been working in the kitchen for a few minutes.
Lin Shaoan walked out of the kitchen with a wry smile on his face. He looked extremely awkward standing between the living room and the kitchen, as if he didn't know where to place himself.
When Lin Shu saw him like this, his heart moved, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Dad, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
Hearing this, Lin Shaoan seemed to have found his place and quickly walked to Lin Shu and sat down.
"Xiao Shu, is there anything dad can help you with?"
"Dad, have you had nothing to do recently and can't help at home? As time goes by, you have become less confident?"
Lin Shu's words made Lin Shaoan's current situation clear at once. If it weren't for his father's identity, Lin Shaoan would probably be very willing to cry to Lin Shu at this moment.
Under Lin Shu's guidance, Lin Shaoan lowered his head and slowly talked about his situation in the past few months. Lin Shaoan originally made his fortune in finance. The A-share crash superimposed on the subprime mortgage crisis directly destroyed his more than ten years of accumulation.
Nothing.
Now customers no longer trust him. Even when he called a financial company for an interview, people hung up the phone as soon as they heard that he was Lin Shaoan.
Under the repeated blows, Lin Shaoan felt a very serious sense of frustration. He even once doubted whether his life had lost its value.
"Dad, do you want to return to the top of your career, or even surpass it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shaoan immediately raised his lowered head and stared at his son sitting opposite.
"Is this... still possible?"
"It is entirely possible! Although the subprime mortgage crisis has had some impact on the country, I went to Beijing this time to learn about the above-mentioned rescue policies. I believe that the stock market will recover soon, and the end result at this time will be to fall into the gold pit."<
/p>
Lin Shu said mysteriously that policy bailouts were in the news in previous lives. Even people who don’t understand finance know this.
As someone who has been dealing with finance for half his life, Lin Shaoan naturally understands that the stock market is about to pick up, but he has no principal!
"Alas~, now is a good time to exit, but without money everything is just talk!"
"I have money. Maybe you and my mother haven't understood that the box office of the movie I made has exceeded 60 million, and it is almost certain to break 100 million. After the movie is released, as a producer, I can get several thousand
Ten thousand, this money is the capital for our family’s comeback!”
There will be many second-tier Internet companies that have not yet emerged in the future. Lin Shu only knows their names, but cannot participate in them because he does not understand finance.
Lin Shaoan's professionalism can just make up for Lin Shu's shortcomings. He can earn capital by making movies, and then use the principal to invest. Let professional people do professional things, so that the Lin family can become a wealthy family again in the future. Lin Shu
I can still be a late-blooming rich second generation!
When Lin Shaoan heard that the box office of Lin Shu's movie exceeded 60 million, his face was filled with pride. After Lin Shu finished speaking, his face gradually dimmed again.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Shaoan said earnestly to Lin Shu: "Xiao Shu, you have the ability to make money, which makes dad very happy. But dad can't take this money. According to the agreement, you should return it to your Uncle Zhong, come out
You must keep your integrity at work!”
"Dad, please rest assured that my handling of the matter will definitely satisfy Uncle Zhong. There is still some time before dinner, why don't you give him a call and invite him to have dinner with you, and tell him by the way, I have something to say.
Tell him."
Lin Shaoan frowned and stared at his son. After a long time, he slowly nodded and agreed to Lin Shu's request.
……
Zhong Weiguo was very familiar with the Lin family, and he was not surprised when he received Lin Shaoan's invitation. When he heard that Lin Shu was also there, he became even more interested in today's meal.
After the whole dinner, the guests and hosts had a good time, and both Zhong Weiguo and Lin Shu made a tacit understanding not to mention the movie.
When Ye Mengqin stood up to put away the dishes, Lin Shu winked at his father and asked him to leave some space for him and Zhong Weiguo.
Lin Shaoan excused himself to help and walked into the kitchen, but this time Ye Mengqin no longer disliked him for not being able to help.
"Uncle Zhong, although I have said it many times before, today I still want to bring it up again and solemnly thank you for your help to my Lin family during this time."
Lin Shu didn't talk about the movie because he believed that Zhong Weiguo, as an insider, could not be unaware of Sherlock's achievements.
He emphasized Zhong Weiguo's help to the Lin family in order to pave the way for the next conversation.
"What are you talking about, Xiao Shu? Your father and I have been friends for more than ten years, and these are all things I should do. It really surprises me that you are here, Xiao Shu."
"Uncle Zhong, are you talking about movies?"
"What else could it be? The box office of the first movie is about to exceed 100 million, Xiao Shu, Uncle Zhong has made a mistake in you!"
There was no teasing in Zhong Weiguo's tone, but a sigh of missed opportunity.
After realizing this, Lin Shu struck while the iron was hot and extended his olive branch.
"Uncle Zhong is serious. Without your help, this movie would not have been made. Now that the movie has achieved some success, when I shoot the sequel, if Uncle Zhong wants to participate, I will definitely welcome it."
p>
"Is this true?"
Zhong Weiguo looked at Lin Shu with wide eyes. Sherlock's box office trend is so good now. As long as the sequel does not fail, it will basically be a 100% profitable business.
He didn't understand why Lin Shu was willing to give him money. Was it because he had helped their family?
"Of course I take it seriously! But now the movie has not sold out at the box office, and I have to go to other places to promote it. After the movie's release cycle is over and I have the script and cost of the sequel, Uncle Zhong can decide whether to
Add a portion to it."
"Participate? Apart from me, are you planning to get anyone else?"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Shu laughed out loud at this question, "Uncle Zhong is also a businessman. He should know that the most important thing in doing business is to have many friends. One person cannot go long. Director Han from China Film Group also helped me a lot this time. The sequel
Naturally, he is an indispensable part of the movie."
"It should, it should."
Zhong Weiguo, who has been in business all his life, unexpectedly learned a lesson from Lin Shu today. He also realized at this time that Lin Shu's success was no accident, and his future achievements would definitely be higher than he thought.
