Chapter 140 The Lazy Horse Effect
When Liang Teng and Wu Xia left the city, they still couldn't save face, and under the condition that Hua Yishan was willing to join his company, they appointed her as the director of the company's "film and television creation center" (don't ask when Liang Teng's company has such a The department of the "Creation Center"? Liang Teng, as the boss of the company, can decide what department to set up).
Giving such an appointment is not just for looks.
Hua Yishan joined the company when she was "desperate". Liang Teng's salary was on par with Wu Xia's, which was also an annual salary of 120 million.
However, when Hua Yishan bought the song from Liang Teng, she still owed him 200 million "copyright transfer fees", which had not been settled, so Liang Teng planned to deduct her salary from it first.
The time he actually has to pay new employees will start next year.This also gave Liang Teng a little buffer.In order to avoid too much financial pressure this year.
In addition, Liang Teng still gave Hua Yishan 100 million film and television shooting funds.
This money was given to Hua Yishan in the name of the company. Although it was a little less, there was an advantage: even if she lost money, Hua Yishan didn't have to pay it back.
Wu Xia was particularly satisfied with this.I feel that I have won the greatest benefit for Hua Yishan.
From the bottom of his heart, Liang Teng is also very optimistic about Hua Yishan's ability to "lose money".
Liang Teng spent all his efforts, and it is difficult for video works to cause losses, but Hua Yishan can easily lose a lot of money.
Liang Teng had a better mind, and he pulled out the creative funds for Hua Yishan, and took the "system" start-up funds.
After the "settlement day", the data was refreshed, and Liang Teng had another 100 million "startup fund" quota, which has not been moved yet.All of them can be handed over to Hua Yishan.
He didn't even bother to review the "script" of the movie she was going to direct.
Anyway, just believe in this guy's ability to lose money.
Putting a "high-quality talent" like her in the company, give some "startup money" and let her spend it by herself.
Maybe after a while, she will be able to return him a big surprise.
With Liang Teng's injection of 100 million creative funds, Hua Yishan is in a good mood.
It's not that she is used to big money, so she will look down on small money.In fact, the 500 million budget she was planning to invest in the movie was not fully in place yet.
Among the 500 million, there is Hua Yishan's own pocket money savings.This part is in place soon.
Other parts need to be borrowed from many friends.
This kind of "crowdfunding" part is not so fast in place.
It’s not that my friend doesn’t have money, or he’s reluctant to borrow it.But none of my friends thought that Miss Hua, who had always been wealthy, would be in a hurry to spend money.Therefore, all her friends agreed to lend her money, but they were not in a hurry to transfer the money.Given their laziness, it is entirely possible that they would delay the transfer of money for a month or two.
So Liang Teng very straightforwardly gave her 100 million "startup funds", which can be regarded as a solution to Hua Yishan's "urgent need".
It's too late for Hua Yishan to be grateful to Liang Teng, how can she be too little?
It's really "this moment, that moment", Hua Yishan has already adapted to the changes in her situation.
With a little "start-up capital", she declared to Liang Teng "highly motivated" that she would definitely use the minimum cost to film a "big black horse" at the box office.Let all those who despised her regret it.Liang Teng, who let the "wisdom eye" appreciate her, made a lot of money...
Liang Teng was startled.
He is not afraid of Hua Yishan's big losses, even if she loses her pants.I'm afraid that she will actually make a movie that sells well at the box office.
Liang Teng hastened to warn Hua Yishan earnestly: Don't put too much pressure on yourself.Especially don't give up your dreams in order to chase "box office results".In his company, no "performance appraisal" is required, and the emphasis is only on "high-quality videos".Therefore, Hua Yishan can completely follow her own aesthetic vision to shoot the good movies in her mind!Don't always think about superficial issues such as whether you will "lose money"!Don't worry, everything is covered by the company!
Not only did Hua Yishan, the person concerned, feel grateful for what she said, but even Wu Xia's bright eyes shone with a strange gleam after hearing it.
The two daughters all felt that Liang Teng was really a good boss of the country and the people.
In Wu Xia's heart, she secretly blamed herself for thinking that Liang Teng was not generous enough.
She pondered: her ideological realm is far inferior to Liang Teng's.Liang Teng's help to Hua Yishan is not only financial, but also reshaped her pursuit of art.Don't blindly pursue box office results and forget your original intention.
Hua Yishan was even more moved.Ever since the director's first movie suffered a blood loss, the investors who didn't "fear her like a tiger" judged her to be hopeless in the field of "film and television".
Only Liang Teng took her in and didn't put pressure on her.Encourage her to shoot "high-quality goods" according to her own artistic standards, without being bound by box office results!
Such a good boss is probably only encountered once in a lifetime.
Hua Yishan secretly made up her mind: this second movie really can't be done by her own temper.It is necessary to judge the situation.Big box office sales and the pursuit of high-quality goods, in fact, the two are not contradictory.Hua Yishan decided to work hard in these two directions at the same time.
Hua Yishan was in a hurry to launch her new film project. After saying goodbye to Liang Teng and Wu Xia, she left the city and hurried to the "Open City".
She wants to go and have a look: Liang Teng provided her with free filming "The King's Mansion" site, is it really suitable for filming her script.
If used together, it's a real bargain.
Can save a lot of money.
For her who is now "thrifty is king", it is really a good thing to "send charcoal in the snow".Hua Yishan's requirements for choosing a "venue" have been lowered again and again.As long as it is not "terrible", Hua Yishan is ready to use it.
If you are not in charge, you don't know that rice is expensive!
There are ready-made venues that are not used. Is it really necessary to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent a shooting venue?
Soon, Liang Teng and Wu Xia also sat in the car driven by Yan Qianyu, and went straight to the destination locked in the morning.
She thought that Hua Yishan would fly to this city and stay at least one night, or even longer.
Wu Xia was also mentally prepared to waste a day or two in this city with her.
Who would have thought that Hua Yishan could be so motivated despite new setbacks in her career, not staying in the city all night, only having a meal at Liang Teng's "top-floor duplex", and then rushing non-stop to the "open capital" Headquarters of "The King's Building" went to inspect the shooting location.
Wu Xia couldn't help sighing to Liang Teng: "Liang Teng, didn't you plan to recruit Yishan to the company? Now it's a 'fulfillment'. Why do you want to recruit her? Your little thought, you Think I really don't know?"
Liang Teng expressed his composure.
He didn't believe that Wu Xia could see through his true intentions. The secret of the "system" can be discovered so easily, and it has long been unknown how many troubles have arisen.
In particular, the strange rule of "the more you lose, the more cash you get when you settle", even Liang Teng needed a period of psychological adaptation to accept it.
Wu Xia can easily know this weird exchange method, so of course he can understand that he longs for Hua Yishan to join the company just to make a huge loss—but could Wu Xia know?
Liang Teng, who sat comfortably on the right side of the back seat, replied to Wu Xia calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about. The main reason why I recruited Yishan to the company is of course because of you." For the sake of face. Isn't she your best friend? Now that she is in trouble, I should give her a hand, both emotionally and rationally, within my power. "
"Liang Teng, just sing a high note!"
Although Wu Xia was quite satisfied and comfortable hearing it, she teased in a joking tone: "The ghost believes that it is for my sake to help Yishan. I think you must be using a trick." A management strategy called the 'lazy horse effect'."
"What is the 'lazy horse effect'?"
Liang Teng did not come from a major in "financial management".He also doesn't understand a lot of common sense in this area.Fortunately, when he shouldn't be pretending to be aggressive, he will never pretend to be aggressive.
Liang Teng was "not ashamed to ask".
Wu Xia looked at Liang Teng's expression, and couldn't tell whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
Wu Xia then explained by himself: "Two horses each pull a cart of goods. The front horse works very hard and walks very fast, while the rear horse is very lazy and slow. So the master moved all the goods behind to the front horse. body. The horse behind laughed, cut, it needs to pull more goods to pull faster, more bitter and tiring. The harder you work, the more you suffer. Who knows that the owner thought later, a horse can do the job, why should I raise it? What about the two horses? In the end, the lazy horse was slaughtered and eaten... This is the lazy horse effect in economics. It makes people think that you are dispensable, and your good days are over. You will be kicked soon open."
Speaking of this, Wu Xia looked at Liang Teng with an expression of "Look, I've already guessed your little thoughts" and said, "Just admit it. You think you let me stay in the company alone, and you don't feel Due to the pressure of competition, it was planned early to develop Hua Yishan as an employee of the company, so as to form a "lazy horse effect" within the company. Urge me to work hard for the company's performance and not slack off. Right?"
I thought I had said it.
Wu Xia finally sighed again and again: "Young bosses can achieve such great success, there is always an internal reason. Seeing Liang Teng's example, I understand. With so many effective management methods, you are subtle , all of them are used. I can see the mystery of it, and of course I can see your superb management level. I can't see it, and I guess you won't remind me. Anyway, all the people and things in the company are all under your proficiency management is in control.”
"Liang Teng, you are such a rare business genius. I thought you had the artistic talent of songwriting, which was the main part of your ability. I didn't expect the talent of business to be so outstanding. It really echoed what the philosopher said: you can He is omnipotent!"
Liang Teng was a little dizzy.
I really wonder if the person Wu Xia mentioned is actually himself?
How could he be as "unfathomable" as she analyzed.
Even his theoretical skills are obviously insufficient.
What business talent? He even heard the term "lazy horse effect" in economics from Wu Xia for the first time now.
But no matter how he explained, Wu Xia would never believe that he didn't understand economics or management.
He doesn't understand this?So who can really understand?
Yan Qianyu, who was driving, also secretly memorized Wu Xia's evaluation of Liang Teng's "business talent" and related cases.
Since becoming the Missy's personal bodyguard, Yan Qianyu has recently had to report to Wu Zhenting and send emails from time to time.
She was worrying that she didn't have anything special to report.
Now Wu Xia wants to purchase valuable logs and make birthday gifts for her father, as well as Wu Xia's high evaluation of Liang Teng's "business talent"... These are all "small reports" that she can make. The content is " "Gold content" has been greatly improved.
Yan Qianyu could have fully expected that after Wu Zhenting read the report she typed, he would be very happy, and that the amount credited to her salary card next month would most likely more than double (the extra would be the bonus).
Yan Qianyu has a cold personality, but that doesn't mean she doesn't value money.
The main reason is that the burden on her family is a bit heavy.
She is the eldest daughter in the family.Both parents are farmers, how much money can they earn from home business?
Yan Qianyu has two elder brothers above her. If she wants to build a new house, she must support her if she has the ability.She directly gave a large sum of money to each brother.
There are 5 younger brothers under her.The two younger ones are in kindergarten, and the two older ones are in freshman and sophomore respectively.
The largest educational expenses for raising children are actually in the kindergarten and university stages.In the middle of the study, there is a subsidy for compulsory education, and only some fees for textbooks and other miscellaneous expenses are paid, which is relatively easy to afford.
Now the four children in the family are going to kindergarten and college, and they all rely on Yan Qianyu to support them.
She herself belongs to the category of "capable of martial arts but not literary", and can't read books. She especially hopes that her younger brothers will be successful in studying.
Given their spending on education, everything is done to a super high standard.Of course, the salary is a bit tight.
Often when Wu Zhenting sends out a special sum of money, her financial pressure can be greatly relieved.
This is why Hua Yishan gave Wu Zhenting a report on "Recent Situation of the Miss" very seriously.
The boring ride in the car became quite relaxed during the chat between Liang Teng and Wu Xia.
While chatting, Wu Xia began to talk about some conceptual conflicts between her and her father.She cited a lot of examples to prove that when her father handled the relationship with his daughter, he had too obvious an authoritarian style of ancient parents.She was helpless.
These comments fell into Yan Qianyu's ears, and she thought silently: I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it!
nonsense!Even if you hear it, you have to pretend you didn't hear it!
Don't look at Yan Qianyu's usual cold expression, she is not stupid.
If it was a fool, Wu Zhenting would not dare to send it to his daughter.
Write Wu Xia's disrespectful comments on Wu Zhenting into the "Recent Status Report" email, and you are guaranteed that Yan Qianyu's "bonus" next month will definitely be wiped out, and the salary will most likely shrink.
It's not that Wu Zhenting broke the contract and withheld her salary, but her bodyguard's salary itself is divided into two parts: "basic salary" and "performance salary".
When Wu Zhenting was unhappy, he could just follow the rules and only pay her a "basic salary".
Of course, the "basic salary" given by Mr. Wu's family is even more than the entire monthly salary of a senior white-collar worker.
After hearing a lot of complaints from Wu Xia to her old man at home, Liang Teng felt that her mood was a bit wrong.
After purchasing valuable logs and making expensive furniture, it will soon be time to go to the "Emperor Capital" to celebrate Mr. Wu's birthday.At this time, why haven't you adjusted your mood?
If she went to celebrate her birthday with resentment towards her father all the time, if something unpleasant happened to the father and daughter and Liang Teng was caught in the middle, wouldn't it be "not human inside and out"?
Who knows how Wu Zhenting "positioned" your relationship with Wu Xia?
Most think that the relationship between the two of you is not simple.Otherwise, no one would bring Wu Xia back to celebrate her birthday, but why did she bring a friend of the opposite sex like you?
If it wasn't for Liang Teng's gratitude for the help Wu Xia gave him, he was so grateful that he was so clever, he would not want to put himself in a complicated relationship.
Now that it is impossible to escape the fate of going to the "Emperor Capital" together, Liang Teng must try his best to avoid the conflict between Wu Zhenting and his daughter.
Liang Teng looked like a "comer here", and said earnestly: "There is a short story about my father's sudden accident and he will die soon. His daughter married far away and rushed back overnight. Unexpectedly, I could only see my father for the last time. My father was dying at the time, leaving only a bank card with an amount of about 500 million. The password was not released in time, so he passed away.”
"After finishing my father's funeral affairs, my daughter, mother, and brothers wanted to go to the bank to withdraw my father's inheritance. Unfortunately, my mother tried many times at the manual counter and entered the incorrect password."
"Everyone doesn't know what the real password is? You can only use father's birthday, mother's birthday, son's birthday, daughter's birthday, even the grandson's birthday, and even the parents' wedding anniversary... a lot of special days , Tried all over and over again. I couldn’t get the password right. I fell into an embarrassing situation immediately.”
"In the end, it was the daughter who married far away who reported a number. The mother tried without hope, but passed it immediately. The father's 500 million inheritance was successfully withdrawn from the bank."
"Afterwards, everyone asked my daughter: How could I know the password of my father's account accurately? Did my father tell her someone in particular before? The daughter said with tears: That's not the case. She just tried to ask her mother to enter the date of her wedding day That's all. I didn't expect that her father, who has always been strict and indifferent to her, would always remember the day of her marriage firmly..."
Liang Teng told Wu Xia such a short story, of course Wu Xia understood what he wanted to express.
Actually, Wu Xia didn't really have a big opinion on Wu Zhenting.
It's just that the closer it was to his father's birthday, thinking that he was about to meet his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Wu Xia felt somewhat uneasy.
So by complaining that my father used to be domineering, I can offset the unnaturalness in my heart.
Unexpectedly, it would cause Liang Teng to misunderstand, thinking that Wu Xia and Wu Zhenting would be like two "fighting chickens", and friction might occur without warning at any time.
A bit unfounded.
Since Wu Zhenting sent so many bodyguards to his daughter, and Wu Xia customized expensive furniture for his father, it proves that both father and daughter have a strong desire to reconcile.How can we meet again and have conflicts.
But Liang Teng told her such a small story so carefully, Wu Xia was still very moved.
Wu Xia's mood suddenly became particularly joyful.
She also couldn't help joking with Liang Teng: "Liang Teng, you make up stories, please be more professional."
"Why are you unprofessional?" Liang Teng was happy to see her in a good mood.
"Don't you know? Take a bank card to the bank to withdraw money, as long as you try to enter the password three times and miss the password, the bank card will be locked, which is commonly known as being 'swallowed'. How can there be so many opportunities for you? Try to go through the birthdays of the dozen or so members of the family one by one?"
Liang Teng said with a smile: "That's because you didn't listen to the story seriously and carefully. Of course, you only have three chances to try the password when you use the bank's ATM to withdraw money. If the password is wrong three times, the card will be swallowed. How can I understand this common sense?" Don’t understand? I didn’t mention the family just now, they went to the ATM to test the password. I also emphasized that they went to the bank’s business counter to try the password. Manual operation! Do you understand? They all thought of it , how could it be impossible to guess?"
Wu Xia thought about it, is it really like this?
It seemed that she had overlooked it, thinking that she had caught a loophole in Liang Teng's short story, and wanted to laugh at him, as a joke.
Wu Xia was a little reconciled, and continued to criticize: "It's still wrong. The father in your story passed away. Even if you don't know his password for a while, you can't withdraw the money, but just go to the 'notary office' to notarize the inheritance. Which ones? With a little thought, you can go to the bank to apply for withdrawal of your father’s inheritance. There is no possibility that 500 million yuan will be confiscated by the bank if you don’t know the password.”
Liang Teng said with a smile: "I didn't say that without the password, the inheritance will be confiscated by the bank. It's just that the reality is like that! If you don't know the password, you can't get the money, and you have to go to the office for a certificate. I don't know how complicated it is Trouble. If I could know the account password at that time? Everything would be much simpler. There is no need to go to the notary office when you are busy with the funeral of the deceased... right? "
Liang Teng and Wu Xia joked with each other along the way, talking and laughing, but the journey was not lonely.
Yan Qianyu is like a "hard-working porter". The interesting things she heard in the interaction between Wu Xia and Liang Teng along the way can especially reflect that she and Liang Teng have a good friendship and reflect her "love" towards Wu Zhenting. "Missing you", focus on it.
These are all going to be included in her report email.
Of course, Yan Qianyu is an honest woman, and she never planned to fabricate things about Wu Xia indiscriminately in order to "follow Wu Zhenting" and win his happiness.
The ultimate goal is to exchange for the huge funds that belong to her.
Perhaps it was because of her honest personality that she was selected by Wu Zhenting as the first bodyguard of the eldest lady.
In short, after the itinerary, it took a full day and night to drive.
Although everyone is "busy in their own way", they are all very happy.
