Chapter 833 The Qian Family’s Dilemma
Some of this money is actually a bank loan, and Qian Zigong doesn't know it yet, but in fact, the Qian family is now out of money.
The most important thing is that these two movies, because of the fake box office, look pretty good, and they are all "big hits" with box office of over 1 billion. This directly led to Qian Zigong's father not being able to borrow money from others, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in his own face?
The Qian family couple usually dotes on their son, especially Qian Zigong's father.
Mrs. Qian has long wanted to tell her son that these two movies have suffered too much loss, but Qian Zigong's father disagrees. He said that once the truth is told to him, it will discourage his enthusiasm, and he may never dare to invest in any movie again.
Seeing Qian Zigong's performance today, Mrs. Qian was also angry. The company's situation is extremely worrying. With Shi Lei's down payment of 20 million, at least the company's expenses can be dealt with. As long as it can last for a few months, it should be able to survive the difficulties with the share of the theaters.
But now, it is precisely this 20 million that makes the Qian family very embarrassed.
Mrs. Qian had already glared at Qian Zigong, but Qian Zigong was oblivious and insisted on taking his mother away.
More than half an hour ago, he returned home and saw his mother was about to go out. After asking, he found out that his mother was actually going to sell the newly renovated house that she had not yet lived in, which made Qian Zigong dissatisfied.
Especially since his mother said that the other party was Shi Lei from Qixuan Technology, Qian Zigong insisted on going to the agency with his mother.
At that time, Mrs. Qian was also anxious to go out. She felt that no matter what, her son should know the overall situation instead of getting entangled in personal grudges, so she did not stop Qian Zigong from coming together.
Unexpectedly, Qian Zigong confronted Shi Lei as soon as he entered the door, and Shi Lei also responded tit for tat, which made Mrs. Qian very embarrassed.
"Mom, what are you doing? Our family doesn't need the 20 million, why do you have to talk to him? I'm telling you, I haven't lived in the house for a day since it was renovated. I didn't want to sell it, and I sold it to such a person..."
"Enough!" Mrs. Qian couldn't bear it anymore and scolded her son.
Qian Zigong was stunned and looked at his mother in complete confusion. Seeing Mrs. Qian's angry face, he didn't know how he made his mother angry.
Looking at Shi Lei again, who looked leisurely and contented, Qian Zigong was even more angry. He even felt that the reason why his mother scolded him must be because of Shi Lei's attitude just now.
He immediately pointed at Shi Lei and said, "If you don't have money, don't act like others. Don't you know where this is? The capital! A house worth 100 million is very common in the capital. If you can't afford it, go back to your Wu Dong as soon as possible and don't embarrass yourself in the capital..."
"You are right. A house worth 100 million is very common in the capital. I really don't have to buy your house. Manager Jiang, then, I'm sorry. When you recommend real estate to me next time, please be more reliable and ask the other party about the situation clearly. If such a person who doesn't know what he is comes and sells it sometimes and doesn't sell it sometimes, your company's reputation will also be affected."
After Shi Lei finished speaking, he stood up. He had already seen that Mrs. Qian wanted to sell this house very much. He didn't know the reason, but he thought it had a lot to do with the two movies invested by Qian Zigong. The Qian family looked prosperous, but it might be riddled with holes inside, but Qian Zigong didn't know it yet.
The reason why Shi Lei knew all this was because he had a war with Qian Zigong some time ago, and then Qixuan's deposited funds were seized by Alipay. Shi Lei's first suspect was Qian Zigong.
Yao Er also thought so at first, and Qian Zigong also found professionals at the time to concoct an article from a technical perspective, so Yao Er's focus of investigation at the beginning was Qian Zigong.
The Yao family's investigation ability is naturally not to be underestimated. They did not find out what impact Qian Zigong could have on Qixuan's deposited funds, but they found out that Qian's film and television company had lost a lot in the past year. The main reason was that the two bad movies invested by Qian Zigong had a total investment of 500 million or 600 million, and Qian Zigong's own money alone reached nearly 300 million for each movie. If these two movies were just box office failures, it would be fine. The price paid by the Qian family was at most about 500 million.
For the Qian family, this is barely a loss within the acceptable range.
However, the Qian family made a serious wrong decision on these two movies, and actually used their own theaters and the good relationship with other theaters to increase the box office.
As a result, the box office went up, and they naturally had to use their own money to make up for the losses of other investors.
In addition, Qian's Films has indeed been in a bad situation this year. The investment in several movies has shown losses. After a year, the overall loss has reached more than 1 billion.
There is not much cash on hand.
Therefore, when Shi Lei saw that Mrs. Qian seemed to want to sell this house, he concluded that the Qian family was really close to running out of money. Although 20 million is not much, it may be necessary for the current Qian family to get through the difficulties.
Of course, it is unrealistic to really expect these tens of billions to make the Qian family go bankrupt. After all, their cinema chain is a stable and profitable industry. As long as there is a turnover of funds, plus a buffer time of a few months or at most half a year, the Qian family can still breathe a sigh of relief.
Because of this, Shi Lei dared to say such a thing so confidently.
Jiang Guoquan's mood at this moment can be described as eating a handful of green-headed flies, the kind that just flew out of the toilet.
Originally, both parties were very sincere in wanting to close the deal on this house, and they had almost entered the signing stage. But halfway through, a mysterious young man named Qian appeared, and the deal was about to fall through.
Sighing, Jiang Guoquan said, "Madam, Mr. Shi, you two should calm down and think about it again." After saying that, he looked at Qian Zigong, and didn't know how to communicate with this arrogant young man.
Madam Qian glanced at Shi Lei. Although she was not satisfied with Shi Lei's attitude, this house had been listed for more than half a month, and there had been no customers who really intended to buy it. Of course, she also understood that after all, it was a property worth 100 million yuan, and it was not so easy to sell it as soon as possible.
Originally, this house could be used to borrow some money from private investment companies, even if the interest rate was a little higher.
But Qian Zigong's father was very determined and said that the current asset status of the Qian family must not be discovered by the outside world.
Mrs. Qian could only say to her son at this moment: "Zigong, go out first, I'll talk to Mr. Shi."
"Mom! Why do you have to sell the house? Does our family need his money?" Qian Zigong pointed at Shi Lei angrily and said, "What the hell did you give my mom? I warn you, this is the capital, this is my territory..."
Shi Lei rolled his eyes, shook his head and cursed disdainfully: "Stupid!"
Although it was a curse, Shi Lei said it very calmly, as if it was the most objective evaluation of Qian Zigong, not a curse on him.
"How dare you curse me?" Qian Zigong was almost crazy, and wanted to go up and twist Shi Lei's clothes.
