Chapter 833 Shareholders (23)

PS: Please vote for me, dears. Also, remember to give the idiots a thumbs up. Shi Baobao is a newbie and needs to be taken care of.

When Zhang Tan came to the crew of "Dying to Survive", he kept attracting people's attention along the way. Even if he walked past, people turned back.

Producer Zhao Silu was talking to director Zhang Niancheng. When she saw Zhang Tan coming, she was also stunned. Zhao Silu smiled and said, "Is there anything happy today, Mr. Zhang? You are so energetic, so handsome."

Zhang Tan was dressed in a suit today, a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and a medium blue tie. It was a rare formal suit.

"I have to go to a meeting later." Zhang Tan responded.

Zhao Silu didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Mr. Zhang and I are discussing going to India to film. If Mr. Zhang is not in a hurry, please give me some advice."

"Dying to Survive" is about to go to India to film. It is not easy to go abroad. Many things are beyond your control, and you need to make thorough arrangements in advance.

Zhang Tan discussed with the two for a while, and only left after the three agreed, and came to the headquarters of Kuxun Video.

A shareholders' meeting is being held here today.

The company's board secretary was entertaining the shareholders outside the conference room. When he saw Zhang Tan, he hurriedly greeted him, enthusiastically led him to the conference room, and introduced him to the other directors present.

There were already four people in the conference room, one of whom was the company's executive vice president Xiang Yu'an, who was also a partner of Kucheng. The two of them had co-founded Kuxun Video.

Xiang Yu'an was a middle-aged man, but he kept a good figure. He wore a shirt and suit, and his belly was not visible. It can be seen that he had a habit of fitness.

"Hello, Mr. Xiang!"

Zhang Tan took the initiative to shake hands with him. The two had met several times, but not many times.

Xiang Yu'an had an office in the company, but he had few interactions with Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan was either in the crew or went to the company to find Kucheng directly, and rarely stayed here for nothing.

"Hello Zhang Tan, I've heard Mr. Ku praise you for a long time. You are even more promising and young!"

Xiang Yu'an smiled and shook his outstretched hand. Zhang Tan felt that his palm was soft and strong. He was a pampered person. He probably came from a good family, which was different from Ku Cheng who started from scratch.

Zhang Tan had heard some rumors that Xiang Yu'an and Ku Cheng were college alumni and lived in the same dormitory.

Xiang Yu'an and Ku Cheng both held shares in Ku Xun Video. In addition, there were two strange middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman in the conference room. The secretary wanted to continue introducing them to Zhang Tan, but Xiang Yu'an smiled and said he would come.

One of them was Cao Nian, from Changfeng Group.

The other was Zhu Ping, from Quyuan Entertainment.

The last proud woman was Shi Lihong, a representative of angel investment.

Kuxun Video had several rounds of financing. These three units entered the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors through financing and holding shares.

Kucheng was the last to arrive. When he saw Zhang Tan, he asked, "Have you all met before?"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I have met you all."

Kucheng sat in the chairman's seat, Xiang Yuan sat on his left, Shi Lihong sat below him, Cao Nian of Changfeng Group sat on the right, and Zhu Ping of Quyuan Entertainment sat behind him.

Zhang Tan sat on the left after Shi Lihong.

Before the meeting, Kucheng introduced Zhang Tan to everyone again, listed Zhang Tan's brilliant achievements, and then started the theme of today's meeting.

Today is to discuss the preparations for listing. The day of Kuxun's listing is getting closer and closer. This board meeting should be the last before the listing. Many things need to be finalized and a consensus must be reached.

Zhang Tan participated for the first time and was only a small shareholder, so he listened more and watched less.

Changfeng Group holds 23% of Kuxun Video's shares, Quyuan Entertainment holds 15%, and Angel Investment holds 6%. The three parties together hold a 44% equity ratio!

In addition, Kucheng holds 30%, Xiang Yuan holds 21%, and Zhang Tan holds 5%.

Kucheng and Xiang Yu'an have absolute control over the company, and the two of them are acting in unison, and have absolute say in the company's management and operation.

The head of the company's legal department entered the meeting room to report on his work.

Zhang Tan listened carefully to his report and had a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the company's business for the first time.

In general, Kuxun Video has two major businesses, one is long video and the other is short video.

At present, long video accounts for the majority of business revenue and is the source of all profits for the company.

Short video developed late, is an emerging business, and has been losing money.

One of the discussion points of this meeting is whether to separate the short video business from the listing and only list the long video. The advantage of this is that long video, as a high-quality asset, can bring the company a higher stock issue price.

Everyone disagrees.

Through observation, Zhang Tan found that Xiang Yu'an and Zhu Ping of Quyuan Entertainment supported the listing together. Shi Lihong, an angel investor, disagreed. She believed that it should be separated. Cao Nian of Changfeng Group shared her opinion.

As for Kucheng, he has not expressed his opinion and does not know his true intentions.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, Kucheng looked at Zhang Tan and asked what he thought.

Zhang Tan laughed and did not give his opinion.

He had three ideas, but he did not want to say them at all. He positioned himself today as only bringing ears and eyes, not saying anything, and trying to express as little opinion as possible, even if he associated the short video business with Douyin in his previous life.

Kucheng did not care. He just asked casually. If Zhang Tan really talked big, he would have a bad impression of him.

"Let's go public together." He made the final decision.

He gave his final opinion, and Cao Nian from Changfeng Group and Shi Lihong from Angel Investment stopped talking. The direction had been set, so they would implement it conscientiously and there would be no more ambiguity.

The board meeting lasted all morning and ended at one o'clock in the afternoon. Ku Cheng invited everyone to the company restaurant for dinner and lunch was already prepared.

Everyone was already hungry. When they went out, Zhang Tan happened to be at the end with Zhu Ping. Zhang Tan stretched out his hand to indicate that he should be invited first. Zhu Ping smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and went out together, saying: "Mr. Ku has spent a lot of money to recruit you. , I also work in film and television entertainment, and I have heard of your name for a long time. Now everyone is paying attention to your "I am not the God of Medicine". When will you invite us to the set? "

Cao Nian and Xiang Yuan, who were walking in front, turned around and smiled. Zhang Tan said: "The weather is good today, the spring is bright, and the warmth is suitable. What's even more rare is that everyone is here today. It's better to hit the sun and go have a look after lunch." How about it? Just take a walk to eat."

Ku Cheng turned around and said, "That's a good suggestion. I haven't been to the set yet, or today. Zhang Tan is right. The weather is so good. It's rare that everyone is here. Let's go and have a look. I heard that the set will soon move to India." , I won’t see you for several months, right?”

Zhang Tan said: "Yes, I may go to India next week."

"Okay, I haven't seen filming yet." Cao Nian agreed.

Upon hearing this, the secretary of the board of directors immediately went to arrange the relevant work and called the producer Zhao Silu. When he learned that she was on the set, he said: "Boss Ku and several shareholders are going to the set to visit everyone. You should hurry up and prepare. But Mr. Ku told me not to affect the normal shooting.”

Zhao Silu immediately started preparations and told Zhang Niancheng about the matter. After the two discussed it, they decided that Zhang Niancheng would continue filming according to the schedule. Zhao Silu came to handle the reception, cleaned up the scene, and told the staff not to desert. That was basically it. .

Zhang Niancheng had just left when he suddenly came back and asked, "Should we call Zhang Tan? The shareholders are here, and he'd better be here to leave a good impression."

He truly thought about Zhang Tan.

Zhao Silu also felt that Zhang Tan should be called over. Although he said he was going to a meeting in the morning, the meeting should be over in the morning. Even if it was not over, he should still ask for leave to come. After all, things here are very important.
