PS: Please ask for a monthly ticket, my dears, and remember to give me a thumbs up for my friends, Shi Baobao is a cute newbie and needs to be taken care of.

When Zhang Tan came to the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", he kept attracting people's attention along the way, even if he passed by, they all turned their heads.

Producer Zhao Silu was talking with director Zhang Niancheng, when she saw Zhang Tan approaching, she was startled at the same time.Zhao Silu smiled and said, "Is there any happy event for Mr. Zhang today? He is so smartly dressed, so handsome."

Zhang Tan is wearing a suit and leather shoes today, a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and a medium blue tie, a rare formal attire.

"I'm going to a meeting later." Zhang Tan responded.

Zhao Silu didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Mr. Zhang and I are discussing about filming in India. If Mr. Zhang is not in a hurry, please give me some advice."

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is about to go to India for filming. It's not easy to go abroad. There are many things that cannot be controlled by oneself, and comprehensive arrangements need to be made in advance.

Zhang Tan discussed with the two for a while, and after the three agreed, he left and came to the headquarters of Kuxun Video.

A shareholder meeting is held here today.

The secretary of the company's board of directors was entertaining the shareholders and bosses outside the meeting room. Seeing Zhang Tan appear, he quickly greeted him, enthusiastically led him into the meeting room, and introduced him to the other directors present.

There are already four people in the meeting room, one of them is Xiang Yu'an, the company's executive vice president, who is also a partner of Kucheng, and the two created and founded Kuxun Video together.

Xiang Yu'an is a middle-aged man, but he maintains a good figure. He wears a shirt and a suit without showing his stomach. It can be seen that he has the habit of exercising.

"Hello Mr. Xiang!"

Zhang Tan took the initiative to shake hands with him. The two met a few times, but not too many.

Xiang Yu'an has an office in the company, but he rarely interacts with Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan is either on the set, or comes to the company just to find Kucheng directly, so he seldom stays here for nothing.

"Hi Zhang Tan, I have heard Mr. Ku praise you a long time ago, and I am younger and more promising!"

Xiang Yu'an held his extended hand with a smile, and Zhang Tan felt that his palm was soft and strong. He was a pampered person, and he probably had a good family background, which was different from Kucheng who started from scratch.

Zhang Tan had heard rumors that Xiang Yu'an and Ku Cheng were university alumni, and they shared a dormitory.

Both Xiang Yu'an and Kucheng hold shares in Kuxun Video. In addition, there are two strange middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman in the conference room. The secretary wants to continue to introduce Zhang Tan. Xiang Yu'an said with a smile that he Come.

One of them is Cao Nian, from Changfeng Group.

The other is Zhu Ping, from Quyuan Entertainment.

The last woman with a proud temperament is Shi Lihong, a representative of angel investment.

Kuxun Video has had several rounds of financing, and these three units held shares through financing and entered the shareholders' meeting and board of directors.

Kucheng was the last one to arrive, and when he saw Zhang Tan, he asked, "Have you known each other?"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I've already seen it."

Kucheng was sitting as the chairman of the meeting, Xiang Yuan was sitting on his left, Shi Lihong was below him, Cao Nian from Changfeng Group was leading on the right, and Zhu Ping from Quyuan Entertainment was behind him.

Zhang Tan was behind Shi Lihong, on the left.

Before the meeting, Kucheng introduced Zhang Tan to everyone again, listed Zhang Tan's brilliant achievements, and then started the theme of today's meeting.

Today is to discuss preparations for IPO. The day of Kuxun’s IPO is getting closer and closer. This board meeting should be the last time before IPO. Many things need to be finalized and consensus reached.

Zhang Tan participated for the first time, and he was only a minority shareholder, so he only listened more and watched more and talked less.

Changfeng Group holds a 23% stake in Kuxun Video, Quyuan Entertainment holds 15%, and Angel Investment holds 6%. Together, the three parties have a shareholding ratio as high as 44%!

In addition, Kucheng holds 30%, Xiang Yu'an holds 21%, and Zhang Tan holds 5%.

Kucheng and Xiang Yu'an have absolute control over the company, and they act in concert, and have absolute say in the management and operation of the company.

The person in charge of the company's legal department entered the meeting room to report.

Zhang Tan listened carefully to his report, and had a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the company's business for the first time.

In general, Kuxun Video has two major businesses, one is long video and the other is short video.

At present, long video accounts for the bulk of business revenue and is the company's entire source of profit.

The development of short video is late, it is an emerging business, and it has been losing money.

One of the discussion points at this meeting was whether to spin off the short video business and only list long videos. The advantage of this is that long videos, which are high-quality assets, can bring higher stock offering prices to the company.

Everyone disagrees.

Through observation, Zhang Tan found out that Zhu Ping of Youxiang Yu'an and Quyuan Entertainment supported the joint listing, and Shi Lihong of angel investment disagreed. She thought it should be divested. Cao Nian of Changfeng Group shared her opinion.

As for Kucheng, he has not expressed his views, and he does not know his true intentions.

Seeing that everyone was arguing endlessly, Ku Cheng looked at Zhang Tan and asked Zhang Tan what he thought.

Zhang Tan laughed and didn't give his opinion.

He had three thoughts, but he didn't want to say any of them.His positioning for himself today is to only bring ears and eyes, not to speak, and to express as little as possible, even if he thinks of Douyin in his previous life because of the short video business.

Ku Cheng didn't care, he just asked casually, if Zhang Tan was really exaggerating, he would have a bad impression of him.

"Let's go public together." He made a final decision.

After he gave the final opinion, Cao Nian of Changfeng Group and Shi Lihong of Angel Investment stopped talking. The direction has been set, so they should implement it carefully and there will be no ambiguity.

The board meeting lasted all morning and ended at one o'clock at noon. Kucheng invited everyone to the company restaurant for lunch. Lunch had already been prepared.

Everyone was already hungry, and when they went out, Zhang Tan happened to be the last one with Zhu Ping, Zhang Tan stretched out his hand to signal him to invite him first, Zhu Ping smiled and put his arms around his shoulders and went out together, saying: "Boss Ku spent a lot of money to attract you. , I also work in film and television entertainment, I have heard of your name a long time ago, and now everyone is paying attention to your "I'm Not the God of Medicine", when will you invite us to the crew to watch it?"

Cao Nian and Xiang Yu'an, who were walking in front, looked back and smiled, Zhang sighed and said: "The weather is fine today, the spring is bright and warm, what's more rare is that everyone is here today, it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day, go and have a look after lunch How about it? Just take a walk to digest food."

Ku Cheng turned around and said, "That's a good suggestion. I haven't been to the production team yet, or today, what Zhang Tan said is right, the weather is so good, it's rare that everyone is here, let's go and have a look, I heard that the production team will move to India soon , I won’t see you for a few months, Zhang Tan, right?”

Zhang Tan said, "Yes, I might go to India next week."

"Okay, I haven't seen filming yet." Cao Nian echoed.

Hearing this, the secretary of the board of directors immediately went to arrange relevant work, called the producer Zhao Silu, and learned that she was on the set, so she said: "Mr. Mr. Ku explained, don't affect the normal shooting."

Zhao Silu immediately started preparations and told Zhang Niancheng about the matter. After the two discussed it, they decided that Zhang Niancheng would continue filming according to the schedule, and Zhao Silu would come to the reception, clean up the scene, and tell the staff not to desert, and that was basically it. .

Just as Zhang Niancheng left, he suddenly came back and asked, "Should I call Zhang Tan? All the shareholders are here, so he'd better be here to make a good impression."

He was really thinking about Zhang Tan.

Zhao Silu also felt that Zhang Tan should be called here. Although he said he was going to a meeting in the morning, he should have finished the meeting in the morning.
