The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 362 I'll take care of the funding, you just do it

After filming four dramas in a row with an investment of more than one million yuan, plus employee salaries, year-end benefits, etc., there is really little money left in Yucheng Village’s account.

Not to mention that it is difficult to support the continued high-intensity filming and production, this amount of money is not even enough to pay the employees' salaries, and there is an urgent need for capital turnover.

"Yucheng Film and Television did make a lot of money, which caused a stir in the industry, but after all, the capital was too little, and the settlement cycle was still too long for us at present."

Xie Di also looked at Chen Yuan with a bitter expression.

Is Yucheng Film and Television rich?
The answer is yes.

The first online movie that has been released so far has caused a stir in the industry. Many professionals in the industry predict that the final share of the box office for "The Taoist" will surely exceed 20 million, and may even reach 30 million.

Such a low-cost and high-return drama is called a masterpiece by many.

But the problem is that this money is available but cannot be used. It needs to wait until the platform's settlement cycle to arrive in the account, so now they only have two choices.

Either you are forced to wait for the settlement period, wait for the two-month window, and then use the money to frantically improve efficiency.

But now the online movie industry is springing up like mushrooms after rain, and countless monsters are pouring in. There is even a possibility that Yucheng Film and Television will be overwhelmed during the window period.

I dare not wait at all.

Therefore, he discussed with Qin Fen and wanted to borrow some working capital from the policy. Now that Yucheng Film and Television has capital, it is not difficult to get a loan.

"After the Taoist profit-sharing period ends, you suggest two points to the platform. In addition to extending the profit-sharing period as mentioned last time, you should add a settlement method, changing it from quarterly to monthly." Chen Yuan said calmly after listening to what the two said, then he picked up the cigarette and lit it.

In the wild age of online movies, there is no effective regulatory system, and the entire industry is in chaos with all kinds of monsters showing off their abilities.

Chen Yuan still hopes to return to the model of the high-quality era as soon as possible. By that time, when the remaining works are online and high-quality hits are continuously released, he should still have some say.

Together with other producers, I hope the development of the online movie industry can be accelerated.

"That's all for the future. Even if my suggestion is adopted by the platform, it will not quench our thirst, unless I make the suggestion now and they settle the account for us at the beginning of the month."

Qin Fen shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was simply impossible since he was not the platform’s godson.

"How much is missing?" Chen Yuan remained calm. He did not ask how much was left on the company's account. He directly asked the two how much they still needed.

Whether to extend the profit-sharing cycle or speed up the settlement cycle is not up to Yucheng Film and Television. In the past, the entire industry did not enter the era of high-quality products until 19, and the profit-sharing settlement cycle will have to wait for a few more years.

All he can do is enhance the brand value of Yucheng Film and Television and give some suggestions. Apart from that, he just needs to do his best.

"Based on the efficiency we had before the box office revenue was settled, we could have produced at least ten films, if not dozens."

Qin Fen was clearly well prepared, and immediately analyzed: "If we expand according to your requirements, I estimate that the efficiency can be doubled or tripled."

"Adding post-production, employee salaries, etc., a conservative estimate would be four million. If you want to meet your expectations, eight million would be best."

"So many?" Chen Yuan's eyes widened slightly, with a hint of surprise.

He thought that he had made some money last year, so he should have at least one or two million in his account. If that didn't work, he could use the money to finance the filming first. But Qin Fen asked for four or eight million.

I can’t afford it. I simply can’t afford it.

“You also know how efficient we were before the New Year. With our current team, it’s no problem for us to finish shooting ten films in more than two months. Moreover, the company has expansion opportunities now, so the initial consumption will be even greater.” Qin Fen smiled bitterly.

Although there are three dramas currently in the post-production stage, they can be released in different time periods, which will solve the financial crisis and avoid the window period as much as possible.

But the director department and actors will definitely be idle. If they want to maximize efficiency and don’t want to watch the market pie being eaten by others, they can only work like crazy. But how can they work without money?

"Recruitment is very popular now?" Chen Yuan heard it and looked at Xie Di.

"Today we are here to talk about not only money, but also recruiting personnel."

Xie Di nodded, knocked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "It's pretty much what Boss Chen expected before the New Year. The popularity of Taoist priests has attracted a lot of attention to Yucheng Film and Television, especially in the past few days after the New Year. There are many people submitting resumes or inquiring about it every day."

"This is a good thing. You don't have to worry about recruitment anymore. You can even do some screening." Chen Yuan smiled, holding the teacup in one hand and knocking off the ashes of his cigarette with the other.

Yucheng Film and Television was established not long ago, and early recruitment was indeed difficult. Post-production and other departments were a little better, but the most core actors, directors and screenwriters were extremely difficult to recruit.

Years ago, Xie Di was still worried.

Fortunately, as Chen Yuan expected, the influence of a Taoist film can improve many problems. I believe that with the launch of more and more high-quality blockbusters, this situation will become even more popular.

After all, even actors in online movies hope that the producers have the ability and standards, and that the productions are outstanding, so that they will have more opportunities.

"It's a good thing, but with Yucheng Film and Television's current financial situation, I dare not expand on a large scale. Even Miss Chen's recommendation, I didn't dare to accept it directly, for fear of being embarrassed when the time comes and not being able to pay salaries." Xie Di said as he took the last puff of his cigarette and extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan finally understood why Qin Fen and Xie Di came.

My elder sister has been arranging specific work for the villagers these days. If there is a suitable candidate, she will definitely recommend him to Yucheng Film and Television. Qin Fen and Xie Diyi decided that if they want to expand quickly as expected, they need to solve the funding problem first.

So I came to discuss it with him.

After discussing the specific steps and the result, he can handle the recruitment matters.

"Give me two minutes."

Chen Yuan was smoking and thinking. After finishing his cigarette, he stood up, put out the cigarette butt, then went to the yard and called Chen Li.

"What's the matter?" Chen Li's voice came from the other side, with a little noise. It was probably that she was arranging jobs for the villagers at the village committee.

"Let's see how much liquid funds we have in our account. After setting aside this month's salary, how much will be left to use?" Chen Yuan asked directly.

He just thought about it. Although Qin Fen and Xie Di wanted a lot and it was highly likely that they couldn't get enough, he still decided to see how much he could get.

If possible, he would still like to solve it himself instead of using the policy to get a loan.

After all, I had just talked with Chen Dong about the tea brand. Uncle Dong was already concerned about the cost, and now he was going to apply for a loan. Even if it was in the name of Yucheng Film and Television, it was inevitable that he would have some concerns.

No need.

If he wants Uncle Dong to give him the strongest policy support, he must first make Uncle Dong have confidence in him, and having his own strength is the greatest confidence.

"This month's salary has been paid in advance."

There are not so many rules in Yucheng Village. Anyway, the holiday lasts until next month, so when the year-end bonuses are distributed before the New Year, this month's wages are also distributed at the same time.

Take the money and have a good new year.

"Then take a look at how much cash flow we can mobilize?"

"Wait a mininute."

He doesn't even know his own financial situation. He is really a hands-off boss.

"There is still more than 6 million in the village enterprise account."

It was only a minute later that Chen Li continued to speak. There was no more noise around her. She must have found a quiet place.

"How many?"

When Chen Yuan heard this number, his eyes widened like bells. He originally estimated that there should be about one or two million in the account, but he didn't expect that there was so much. Was the business in Yucheng Village so hot last year?

If we add in the funds drawn when Yucheng Film and Television was established, as well as the dividends distributed to the village committee and from lunch boxes and tea drinks, the amount in the account would probably be in the tens of millions.

But the village committee won’t just give out that little, it should at least double it.

What went wrong?
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Chen Li's voice on the phone was full of bitterness and helplessness.

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuan really didn't understand.

"New rural construction. Not long after the project was established and started, the government paid the first installment of construction funds. It was just last month. The first installment was 5 million." Chen Li was speechless.

You don’t even know this?
Chen Yuan really didn't know.

Did Uncle Bin or Uncle Dong tell you about this?

I think I have said that.

But for some reason he didn't remember this. He probably thought that Wang Tao's engineering team could just do the construction without spending any cash, and Uncle Dong wouldn't cheat them, so he didn't care that much.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But now that I think about it, it really doesn’t work.

The construction of a new countryside is not like planting green plants as before. Improving the appearance of Yucheng Village is just a small project that does not cost much money. He can completely say that he has advanced the funds.

But the new countryside is a huge project. There are 400 registered households in the entire Yucheng Village, which means that 400 houses need to be built in the new countryside project.

Even if we assume that each household has 100 square meters, that would be a huge project measured in billions. Could he afford it like this?
Moreover, there is a loophole in keeping this money in the village enterprise account.

"It seems I have to discuss this with Wang Tao." Chen Yuan whispered secretly.

Without thinking about it, he asked on the phone, "Sister, can we withdraw 6 million from our account? We can pay it back in two months."

“It’s better to keep some cash flow.”

Chen Li was silent for half a minute, then thought for a while and said, "Firstly, the establishment of a tea brand will definitely require funds. Secondly, the follow-up payment for the new rural construction may take some time. The villagers' salary advance payment is not as good as before, and the follow-up expenses are huge. I am worried that Yucheng Village will have difficulty balancing its income and expenditure in the future."

The villagers are very enthusiastic about building Yucheng Village. Before the New Year, because there were few people, the revenue from all projects in Yucheng Village could support monthly redemption.

However, too many villagers were recruited subsequently, and the advance payment continued to increase. I am afraid that the revenue from these projects in Yucheng Village will not be able to fill this hole.

Moreover, to establish a tea beverage brand company, registered capital is required, and office space must be rented, which is also a considerable expense.

Although there are policy subsidies, this requires a process. Even if you have connections with Uncle Dong, it doesn't mean that you can get it on the spot once you apply for it.

The office subsidy for Yucheng Film and Television has just been applied for and approved.

"Well, first transfer 5 million and transfer it directly to Yucheng Film and Television. You coordinate this matter with Qin Fen and others. They just came here and will discuss the recruitment with you later. You can coordinate it together." Chen Yuan said after thinking for a while.

By reserving more than one million yuan as a reserve fund, matters such as construction advance payment, catering brand venue rental, and company registered capital verification should all be guaranteed.

As for the remaining difference, Chen Yuan will find a way.

"Yucheng Film and Television is short of money now?"

Chen Li did not object to the withdrawal of 5 million, but asked about the situation of Yucheng Film and Television.

“Well, Yucheng Film and Television is not short of money, but the platform’s settlement method is quarterly settlement. Yucheng Film and Television does not have much registered capital, and it wants to seize the industry’s wild growth period and maximize its creative efficiency and intensity, so it cannot wait until the settlement period.” Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

"understood."

Chen Li understood. She was silent for a moment, then said, "How about this, Yang Yangyang and I can still scrape together some money, and my parents should have some too, so we can hold on for now. You can take 5.5 million yuan from the village enterprise to go through the turnover."

"No need for that. You can keep the money. It's not time for the whole family to contribute yet." Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, rejecting Chen Li's kindness.

It's only two months, there's no need to make such a big fuss. Besides, five million yuan is already far more than he expected, and he can handle the rest.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan turned back to the main room.

“The funding issue has been resolved.”

Chen Yuan sat down, picked up the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and smiled.

"It'll be fine if it's solved."

"How much was the loan?"

Qin Fen and Xie Di breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some anticipation. Even Li Huimin next to them looked a little curious.

“I don’t have a loan.”

Chen Yuan held a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke and smiled.

"No loan, how did you solve it?"

Qin Fen and the others were surprised at first, and then asked curiously.

"I still have some funds here. You will contact my sister later and I will transfer 5 million to Yucheng Film and Television's account first. The subsequent funds will be handed over to me. You just need to go ahead and do your job." Chen Yuan picked up the teapot and added water and said with a smile.

Qin Fen and Xie Di were stunned.

Their plan was to take out a loan. After all, the box office revenue from "The Taoist Comes Out of the Mountain" was there, so even a loan of 10 million would not be a big deal. Moreover, with policy support, it should not be difficult to get a loan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan would pay for it out of his own pocket.

"Brother, how can we be embarrassed if you do this?"

Qin Fen and Xie Di both shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They were clearly doing business together, but Chen Yuan was the only one who provided the funds, and it was several million yuan at once.

"What a pretentious bullshit! The money isn't given to you directly. You can return it when the box office revenue comes in." Chen Yuan drank his tea and rolled his eyes at the two of them.

Then he put down the teacup and said, "And when Yucheng Film and Television gets on the right track and the subsequent box office revenue is settled, I may have to settle it every time and develop other projects."

"this is necessary."

"It's only natural that we should share the money."

Qin Fen and Xie Di had no objection.

"Okay, go and contact my sister. We'll recruit the people who need to be recruited, and recruit those who have been asked in the industry based on their qualifications. Just go for it and I'll take care of the rest." Chen Yuan waved his hand domineeringly.

"Then we won't be polite." Qin Fen smiled.

Xie Di laughed along.

In other words, Boss Chen can use this money for cash flow without being pretentious or feeling any burden.

"Don't be polite, just implement it quickly and maximize the efficiency." Chen Yuan continued waving his hands.
