Chapter 654: Chapter 645: Company Established, Wen Jingqi Arrives

Three films: one martial arts, one comedy, and one urban romance. They are completely different genres and don’t really compete with each other in the market.

Plus, one of them is an online film. He’s confident that if he invests in all three movies at once, and they do well both in terms of reputation and box office, his status in the industry as an investor will definitely rise to a new level.

What’s the point of being an internet celebrity? He used to want to be a million-follower blogger because he thought it would allow him to earn money easily.

But ever since he got into stock trading and started investing in various industries, he’s been making money much faster than he could as an internet celebrity, leaving him less interested in that area.

If given the option, he doesn’t like any kind of work. He just thinks about lying down somewhere, sleeping until he naturally wakes up, then eating and sleeping again, having some fun, walking around, and seeing things. Otherwise, what’s the point of earning all this money if he can’t enjoy it?

Tang Nan had just left and Shen Yi’s video call came in. Very punctual, no need to ask why; it’s because her phone is out of battery and she wants to charge it. Wired charging won’t do, but fortunately, there’s wireless fast charging.

The next morning, at noon, there was news about his company’s paperwork, all thanks to Tang Nan managing to pull some strings and get it done overtime.

"Hahaha, Xiao Tang, your company is getting bigger and bigger. No wonder the old man says you and Xiao Yi are outstanding women. Compared to you, I feel like I’m just living off my parents!"

In Tang Nan’s office, Wen Jingqi sat on the sofa, laughing.

Indeed, after getting Su Qing’s message, he initially wanted to send someone over, but the amount this time was significant. Since the old man wanted him to maintain connections with Su Qing and Shen Yi, he decided to come himself.

The project in Jiang City has officially started. He briefly arranged things yesterday and came over today. Flying is convenient these days and doesn’t take much time. He thought he’d take the chance to relax, as he hadn’t visited the company in a while.

When Shen Yi founded the company initially, no one took it seriously. Then as Shen Yi grew it bigger, he was busy being trained by the old man and didn’t have time to visit. The last time was three years ago.

In just three years, the company here had transformed completely. Whether it was the renovations or the scale of personnel, it was vastly different from three years ago.

As for the landlady, although she’s a major shareholder, she’s too lazy and has children to care for, so when she comes, it’s just to play for a couple of days before leaving.

The scale of Shen Yi’s company has far exceeded the Wen Family’s expectations.

"Brother Wen, listen to what you’re saying. I’d love to live off my parents, but I just can’t. Besides, it’s not like you aren’t making money. I heard from Xiao Su that your project in Jiang City is a guaranteed profit!" Tang Nan laughed.

Though they don’t meet often, they aren’t unfamiliar. After all, Tang Nan and Shen Yi have been visiting Wen’s parents in Jiang City every year recently, so they could naturally be considered friends of Wen Jingqi.

"It’s true it won’t lose money, but to say it will make a lot, forget it. It’s nothing compared to you guys. Government-planned projects won’t let us reap much profit," Wen Jingqi shook his head.

Family businesses know their situations. In recent years, the real estate industry has been sluggish, and profits have naturally fallen compared to before.

This project can at most break even; it won’t make much profit. However, for ordinary people, the profit is already a massive sum.

"Brother Wen, stop being modest. Everyone knows you’re the wealthy one. Given Wen Jin’s situation, it’s clear. If I were her, I’d have been lying flat by now. Why work?"

"Xiao Qing is lucky. I can’t do that. By the way, where’s Xiao Su?"

"He went to finalize the company’s paperwork today. I’ve already informed him you’re here, so he should be back soon."

Just as they were speaking, the office door swung open: "Hey, Brother!"

Turning their heads, who else could be standing at the door but Su Qing?

"Haha, Xiao Su, we were just talking about you!" Wen Jingqi laughed heartily.

"Why go to the trouble for such a small matter as to have you come in person!"

"You’re kidding. I came to relax, and since my little brother has good affairs involving me, how could I not come?"

Even Su Qing hadn’t expected Wen Jingqi to come in person this time. But considering the investment needed this time, coming in person makes sense because it’s no small amount of money.

The three of them then caught up in Tang Nan’s office.

"Brother, I mentioned inviting you to join in on a good project earlier. Now here it is. My funds are a bit short, so I thought of asking for your help." Su Qing smiled.

Wen Jingqi naturally didn’t take Su Qing’s words seriously. He knew that the movie Su Qing invested in before the New Year was a huge hit and couldn’t guess how much he earned from it, so would he really be short of this much money?

At the very least, his girlfriend, Tang Nan beside him, could effortlessly produce that sum. By relationship, Wen’s sister should get the call before him.

They bypassed many layers to contact him directly because of their connection. The project aside, he had helped Su Qing twice after the New Year, building their bond.

Still, he didn’t reveal the truth. In adults’ worlds, keeping some things unsaid just makes sense.

"That’s a minor issue, and you’re the ’Stock God.’ Which of your chosen projects doesn’t make money? I’m here to bask in your glory,"

Su Qing suddenly heard a voiceover in his mind:

[Working with smart people is easy, as they feign ignorance while maintaining surface relationships.]

[However, through this matter, Wen Jingqi’s impression of him improved considerably. Even if there’s no big win from this, as long as there’s no loss, their relationship will grow stronger. Wen Jingqi is also eager to see how capable he is.]

There’s truth to the saying that you can never fully understand someone’s mind. No matter how well you know someone, everyone has their thoughts, especially regarding interests.

Certainly, he never intended for those around him to trust him unconditionally, as he isn’t a saint.

"Brother, you’re too polite. It’s only right. Now then, if that’s the case, I’ll make some calls. Just in time as my company’s paperwork is finalized. This afternoon, you can meet them too and finalize our cooperation. What do you think?"

"As the host, you make the decisions. I’m here to learn investing in the film industry, haha!"

There wasn’t much Wen Jingqi needed to say, as that’s what he came for.

While they chatted, Hu Xiaoling directed workers to hang up the Baiwen Entertainment sign and license.

Baiwen Entertainment is officially established.
