Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 367 Spreading the Fame
The main creative staff present spoke freely, expressing their ideas and difficulties. Those who wanted to buy equipment bought equipment, those who wanted to introduce technology introduced technology, and those who wanted to solve problems solved them.

Sometimes it’s not that the technology can’t beat Hollywood, it’s just that the ideas haven’t been thought of in that area.

After the collision of ideas, it became much easier for the actors to act. They didn't have to face the confusion of the green screen, nor did they have to make too many body movements. The computer system could control it.

This adds a sense of realism to the actors' performances and also solves some shooting problems.

This discussion meeting is just a general meeting to put forward requirements, and each department will hold a department meeting again to solve the problems.

For example, it would be a good idea to get a bigger light box and let the actors and camera system shoot a certain scene in such a big box.

But making such a big box requires coordination among multiple departments, it must be designed, and then a manufacturer must be found to make it.

This is about making demands and solving problems.

Anyway, it's easy to let Liu Tianxian shoot this movie. It's impossible to rely solely on actors, so we should rely on technology if possible.

Acting is the most unstable thing for actors.

This preparatory meeting lasted only one day. Departmental meetings and coordination meetings will continue to be held, and problems will always exist.

Another important thing is to communicate with the higher-ups about blowing up the Tiangong. I don't know if they agree or not.

Let’s do this first. Communicate with Zhang Hongsen to see if it’s possible to shoot in this way. If not, just build one ourselves and name it Yutu to distinguish it from that name.

It's not really going to explode, it's just that the movie was portrayed that way. The people above are more sensitive. It seems that people have low IQs. Because it was filmed that way, they really thought it was going to explode that way.

In mid-August, the loan that had been a month in the making finally had some results.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian stood in front of the gate of Chang'e Technology, next to them were the financial officer Gao Zhun, the executive officer Zhang Lidong, and the operations officer Zhang Nan.

These people are all core decision-makers. Such a big thing cannot be handled without going through them.

Moreover, loan financing is normal and will not make people feel distrustful.

"This role feels difficult to play. It makes me feel helpless and desperate." Liu Tianxian flipped through the script in her hand. This was given to her by Fang Honggang, who asked her to think about it first.

"You have to constantly break through yourself, just in case you perform well, right!" Fang Hong said.

"Everything you said is right." Liu Tianxian closed the script and decided to read it when she had time.

She saw a high-end commercial vehicle approaching from the corner of her eye and pointed, "Here it comes, this is the car."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a car parked in front of them.

Several high-end people in suits got out of the car, one of them was Liu Tianxian's uncle, and the other two should be the president of the bank in Wuhan and the people in charge of credit business.

"Hello there!"

"."

The few of them greeted each other, introduced themselves, and then entered the Chang'e Technology Building.

My uncle noticed the environment and the spirit of the staff. The environment design has a high-tech feel and the staff are glamorous.

"The environment is nice, but the staff all look quite young."

"Young people are energetic and have fresh ideas, which is just right for a technology company like ours," said Zhang Lidong.

He also didn't mention that the company was newly established and many of the employees were new members, as this would make people lose confidence.

"How many of you are there now?" asked my uncle.

"Nearly 5,000 people. We planned to recruit 10,000 people this year. But it's almost September and the positions are still not filled. The main reason is that professional and technical talents are difficult to recruit." Fang Hong replied.

Ten thousand people?! My uncle calculated in his mind that if each of the ten thousand people had a salary of ten thousand, then one hundred million would be spent on their monthly salary alone.

He heard that programmers have high salaries.

Even with such huge losses, there has been no news of people not having enough to make ends meet.

"Isn't this a campus recruitment?" said my uncle.

"Of course there is no problem in recruiting randomly, but it is not easy to recruit people who need certain technical skills. Now all major Internet companies are competing for people," Zhang Lidong explained.

Now is the era of great development of the Internet. Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, Xiaomi, JD.com and NetEase are all expanding wildly.

Emerging Internet companies such as ByteDance, Kuaishou, Meitu, Ctrip, and YY are also expanding and competing for talent.

After hearing what he said, my uncle probably understood what was going on and suggested, "Try donating some money to those universities. They have a lot of talented people there."

"Eh?!" Fang Hong didn't quite understand.

"Schools are places to cultivate talents. All high-end talents in society come from schools. If you donate money to them, your reputation will be immediately spread among the knowledge community. They can help you connect with alumni resources, and scientific research success can also be shared."

The uncle put his arm around Fang Hong's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "You can also deduct corporate income tax. It's like you donated money to obtain alumni resources and share some of their achievements."

After saying that, he patted Fang Hong on the shoulder and gave him a look, indicating that you understand.

The skills have been told to him, but it's up to him to decide how to use them.

Fang Hong was stunned, and then he had a sudden realization. No wonder some people have so many followers as soon as they start a business. They start faster than others. This is the case with Wang Xing and Zhang Yiming.

That was the help of alumni resources. When he founded Yutu, in addition to money, it was also the alumni resources of Beijing Film Academy that played a role. Without this alumni resource, it would be difficult for him to pull together the founding team. Although he was the leader of those teams, others also saw that he was a member of Beijing Film Academy, which was very important.

Now that he no longer has this resource, he can only spend money to buy this resource himself and spread his reputation to attract talent.

But then again, no wonder those wealthy people don't even look at the beggars on the street who have no food to eat, exploit the workers who work for them, but donate hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to schools without even blinking an eye.

This resource is indeed very tempting, and the tax deduction is also very attractive.

What benefits can be given to beggars and workers? Beggars go but never return, and workers cannot create the value of high-end talents, so the return is not proportional.

In fact, celebrities are kinder than them. Celebrities at least seek fame and pretend to be kind. Those rich people don’t even pretend to be kind. Do you know who I am?
"Hey!" Liu Tianxian patted his arm and said, "What are you thinking about? Go in."

They had already arrived at a high-end conference room, and Liu Tianxian urged Fang Hong to go in.

"Oh, you wait for me outside." Fang Hong came to his senses.

"Okay, I'll go to your office. Come see me when you're done talking." Liu Tianxian nodded.

She didn't go in. She had already accomplished this matter. She didn't need to get involved in how to apply for a loan or borrow money, or in the affairs of Chang'e Technology and her uncle's bank.

At that time, she will only need to sign a guarantee agreement.

This is still a corporate loan, but Fang Hong wants to use Yutu’s equity as collateral.

As for the problem of insufficient establishment time of Chang'e Technology, my uncle helped reduce it to one year, which is legal.

After entering the conference room, the two sides sat down, spread out their documents and began to negotiate about the loan.

Fang Hong originally only wanted to borrow 50 billion yuan, but with the guarantee of Liu Tianxian and the help of his uncle, the credit line he was granted was raised to 63 billion yuan.

That is a financing loan of US$9 million.

This was because Liu Tianxian’s high demand for 70 billion yuan had played a role. She was afraid that it would not be enough for him, so she either didn’t give him anything or gave more.

Playing extreme operations is too dangerous because any problem will lead to a complete loss.

This not only made Fang Hong, but also Zhang Lidong and Zhang Nan very excited. Which company could have such a large credit line in the initial stage?
If that were the case, Chang'e Technology wouldn't be so strapped for cash and have its funds squeezed.

We can only adopt a conservative development approach and dare not take any action.

Not only that, their annual interest rate was reduced to 3%, which means they have to pay 1.89 million yuan in interest a year.

When Yutu borrowed the money, it was 6%, which is now half of what it was.

However, there are conditions. The loan period is 5 years, and early repayment is not possible during these 5 years. The bank must pay 9.45 million yuan in interest, and the loan can only be repaid after paying nearly 10 billion yuan.

People have lent you so much money and given you such a low interest rate. Now that you have overcome difficulties and have money, you want to repay the loan in one lump sum and don't want to pay extra interest.

The bank then feels like it has lost money, which is equivalent to not making any money.

The decision-makers at Chang'e Technology not only did not care, but instead accepted it with pleasure. This was equivalent to giving them a five-year buffer period for development, which was good for them.

What they need is time, time is very important to them.

It can be said that Liu Tianxian put in a lot of effort in this process. Not only did she help Fang Hong get the loan, she also lowered the interest rate and provided him with some buffer time.

Of course, my uncle also helped a lot.

The loan will start next month, 21 billion per month, and will be disbursed in three months, which means that 2014 billion will be disbursed before 63.

Banks also have tasks for lending, and this requires review, so it takes some time.

The negotiations went smoothly and the bank did not put forward any harsh conditions, as long as they paid the interest on time every year.

After all, banks also need to make money. Making more than 900 million in five years is a very good deal.

I’m just afraid that they won’t be able to pay them back, which would be tragic.

However, if you have connections and guarantees, the conditions are relaxed.

After the negotiations were concluded, Zhang Lidong, Zhang Nan and his uncle continued to discuss the relevant details and entertain them.

Fang Hong came to his office.

Liu Tianxian was annotating the script with a pen. When she looked up and saw him, she stood up from her seat and asked, "How was the negotiation going?"

Fang Hong stretched out his arms, walked forward and hugged her tightly.

Seeing this move, Liu Tianxian knew it was successful, and said happily: "It went smoothly, right?"

"It went smoothly. Thank you." Fang Hong held her shoulders, kissed her on both cheeks, and then gave her a "boo" on the mouth.

This not only solved a big problem for him, but also gave him a large sum of start-up capital. He felt excited, thrilled and grateful.

63 billion! He had never seen so much money in all his hard work, and it would soon be deposited into his account.

"I'm glad everything went well. No need to thank me. I didn't do anything." Liu Tianxian was also happy for him.
