← Back to novel The Richest Man: I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money

#700 · 700 of 707

Go to the crew

Beijing,

inside a luxurious villa.

"Is this the project Chen Mo gave you?"

Chen Tianlin looked at the project materials in his hand and turned to Chen Cong with a surprised expression.

"Yes, but Chen Mo only explained it verbally at the time. A few of us compiled these materials later. Dad, what do you think?"

Chen Cong looked at his father.

"This project is already very complete, and the probability of success is quite high. However, the risks are also mentioned there. Once your project succeeds after implementation, many people will definitely invest in it. When that time comes, with multi-party competition, losing money is inevitable."

"At that point, you will need enough capital to get through the period of losing money. Is your capital sufficient?"

Chen Tianlin slowly set the project materials down on the table, picked up the tea beside him, and took a sip.

He sighed emotionally in his heart.

That young man named Chen Mo really has a great business mind.

Shared bicycles—

this is a completely brand-new project.

"Dad, even if my funds aren't enough, don't I have you?"

Chen Cong said with a grin. Coming home today, showing the project wasn't his main goal. How could a project given by President Chen be bad? His main purpose was to secure funding.

Although the current income of the Tiange Club was enough to support him and Du Ziteng in making investments,

the Tiange Club also required financial backing. Furthermore, once the shared bicycle project truly entered the money-losing phase, they would need a solid financial safety net to support them.

"How much do you want?"

Chen Tianlin did not refuse. He was very satisfied with Chen Cong's recent performance and did not want to dampen his enthusiasm.

"The more the better, of course,"

Chen Cong said without hesitation.

"How is your Tianda Plaza project in Jiangcheng going?"

Chen Tianlin did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject.

"The site has been selected, and the construction team has also been chosen. All that's left is to start construction."

"Don't change the subject!"

Chen Cong said, somewhat dissatisfied.

Chen Tianlin silently calculated. It hadn't been very long since he handed the entire Tianda Plaza project in Jiangcheng over to Chen Cong.

Yet now, even the site and the construction team had already been chosen. It seemed Chen Cong was indeed putting a lot of effort into this matter.

If he kept this up, there would be no need to worry about him taking over the family business in the future.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Chen Cong.

"Go ahead and do that shared bicycle project. If you really run into funding issues, I will step in."

He had just reviewed that project; as long as there was enough capital, the probability of success was extremely high.

"You said it yourself, no backing out later."

"When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Chen Cong thought about it, and indeed, his father seemed to have fulfilled everything he had promised before.

"Then it's a deal. If this project really runs out of money, I'll come to you. I still have things to do, so I won't eat at home. Tell Mom for me."

"Alright, go ahead."

Chen Tianlin nodded.

…

The next day,

close to noon,

at Beijing Film City,

"President Chen, according to the location sent by General Manager Luo, the crew should be over in that direction."

Shen Rou glanced at the GPS and pointed in a certain direction.

"Okay, let's head over."

Chen Mo nodded and headed in the direction Shen Rou pointed.

"Charge!!!"

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!"

"…"

Suddenly, the sounds of shouting and fighting came from not far away.

Hearing this, Chen Mo knew a crew was filming, so he curiously turned and walked in that direction.

"President Chen, the direction is over there."

Seeing this, Shen Rou spoke up to remind him.

"I know. A crew is filming over there, I'm going to take a look."

Chen Mo explained and walked over quickly.

"Oh!"

Shen Rou nodded and also followed quickly. This was her first time at the Film City, and she was very curious about filming.

Soon, they arrived at a crowded spot where many people were watching the filming in the distance.

Chen Mo found a gap and looked into the distance. The scene being filmed showed a group of people surrounding and attacking a single person.

Listening to the discussions of the people around them,

this crew was not a movie crew, but a TV drama crew.

And the onlookers were extra actors from the crew.

The production cycle of a TV drama crew is longer than that of a movie crew, so extras waiting around here had a higher chance of being selected.

TV dramas have a long production cycle!

Chen Mo thought to himself. He had already invested in two movies, but had never invested in a TV drama.

Next time, he could invest in a TV drama. He could put in more money, and with the long production cycle, it would be an excellent way to burn through capital.

Furthermore, setting up only one crew might not consume enough funds.

Next time, he could set up two crews: one for a TV drama and one for a movie.

That way, he would be able to invest even more capital.

Yes,

not bad,

that's the way.

Chen Mo nodded secretly, having already mapped out the next plan for Lanpian Film and Television.

After watching for a bit longer,

he left the crew's area.

…

At the wandering blue star shooting base.

Luo Xiao looked at everyone in the crew and said seriously,

"President Chen is arriving soon, and he has even arranged a team-building dinner for us this afternoon. When he arrives, shout your welcome as loudly as possible so President Chen can feel the vitality of our crew! Did everyone hear me clearly?"

"Yes, we did!"

"Louder, I can't hear you!"

"Yes, we did!!!"

"Very good. Use this volume when he gets here."

Luo Xiao nodded with satisfaction. They hadn't been able to participate in the sports meet, so they had to at least show President Chen their energy and enthusiasm here.

"Assistant Shen, a message has been sent. President Chen should be here in about three minutes."

Wang Bin walked over with his phone.

Hearing this, Luo Xiao turned to look at the neatly lined-up crew members.

"Everyone, perk up! President Chen will be here in three minutes."

…

"President Chen, it's just ahead."

Shen Rou pointed forward.

Chen Mo looked in the direction Shen Rou pointed and saw a group of people standing neatly in the distance.

They must be the people from Lanpian Film and Television.

As soon as they drew near, a neat and loud greeting rang out.

"Hello, President Chen!"

"Welcome to the crew, President Chen!"

Immediately after,

a round of warm applause erupted.

"President Chen, thank you for making the trip here."

Luo Xiao stepped forward and said.

Chen Mo glanced at Luo Xiao, then at the crew members behind him.

"Is everyone ready?"

"We are all ready. We were just waiting for you to arrive, President Chen, before we set off."

Luo Xiao replied.

"Then let's go."

Chen Mo nodded.

Yesterday, he had already instructed Shen Rou to notify Luo Xiao that they would be organizing a crew team-building event today, and the hotel had already been booked.

"Alright, President Chen. Please follow me."

Luo Xiao led the way toward a business van.

The other crew members also boarded the vehicles parked nearby.

"How is the filming progress going? Around when will it be released?"

While sitting in the car,

Chen Mo turned to look at Luo Xiao and asked casually.
