Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Impossible to leave me behind_1

"Mr. Wu, Shen Dong’s investment in ’The Battle Tiger’ has already made quite a profit, and now he wants to invest in ’The Battle Tiger 2’ to earn another round. Is he getting too ahead of himself?" Tan Guangbei, the CEO of Le’an Entertainment, also let out a cold laugh.

The other tycoons of the film companies all felt the same way, thinking Shen Dong was getting too big for his britches.

As they talked, they eventually decided not to involve Shen Dong anymore.

They didn’t offer him any investment quota at all.

What does a signed contract matter in the face of powerful capital? It’s nothing but a scrap of paper.

Only Xu Caijun of Qianda Cinemas Chain and Wu Jin didn’t make such comments.

After everyone had their say, Wu Jin spoke up, "Everyone, the agreement I signed with Shen Dong is just this. If he wants to invest that much according to the agreement, I can’t refuse."

To tell the truth, Wu Jin was very grateful to Shen Dong.

Without Shen Dong, ’The Battle Tiger’ would not have been completed, and he would not have had the opportunity to sit here and talk with these big shots today.

Not allowing Shen Dong to invest was something he just couldn’t do.

Otherwise, he would become an ungrateful wretch.

Moreover, Shen Dong still had the priority investment agreement. No matter how you put it, Shen Dong deserved to be part of the investment in ’The Battle Tiger 2’.

At these words, Zhu Zhiyong let out a cold laugh, ready to speak.

Just then, Yan Wenlin, the CEO of Qianda Film and Television, cleared his throat and took the lead, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I say one thing, Shen Dong is a shareholder in our Qianda Film and Television."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces changed, their hearts trembling.

No one had expected Shen Dong to hold such a significant identity.

Just who was this Shen Dong, and how did he become a shareholder in Qianda Film and Television?

Wu Jin, however, after his initial shock, thought back to the premiere night of ’The Battle Tiger’ and how Xu Caijun, the CEO of Qianda Cinemas Chain, was so polite to Shen Dong, then he understood.

It turned out Shen Dong had that status.

"Mr. Yan, you’re not joking, are you?" Zhu Zhiyong came back to his senses and asked incredulously.

It is well known that Qianda Film and Television, with the Qianda Cinemas Chain backing it and supported by the Qianda Group, is not to be trifled with by any means.

Otherwise, one’s film can forget about being screened at the Qianda cinemas.

Qianda Cinemas Chain occupies half the domestic theater market, and movies not shown there basically have no chance of making money.

Many people, including many large overseas consortia, have wanted to buy shares in Qianda Film and Television, but all have been refused.

Wang Dalin, the CEO of Qianda Group and the former richest man, valued the shares of his companies greatly and was not inclined to sell them lightly.

How did this relatively unknown Shen Dong become a shareholder in Qianda Film and Television?

"Mr. Zhu, I don’t have the leisure to joke with you," Yan Wenlin glanced at Zhu Zhiyong and said irritably.

Now, everyone felt that the situation had gotten a bit tricky.

Any other identity they could have overlooked, but the identity of a Qianda Film and Television shareholder was something they could not ignore.

No matter how small a share Shen Dong held, as a shareholder in Qianda Film and Television, he had to be taken seriously.

They didn’t ask Yan Wenlin exactly how many shares in Qianda Film and Television Shen Dong had.

They knew that even if they asked, Yan Wenlin wouldn’t tell them.

If word got out and Shen Dong found out, Yan Wenlin could be in trouble.

It would be a leak of shareholder information.

With just one word from Shen Dong, Yan Wenlin might have to pack his bags.

After some thought, Zhu Zhiyong said, "Mr. Yan, since Shen Dong is a shareholder in Qianda Film and Television, we will still let him participate in the investment in ’The Battle Tiger 2’. However, the 40% investment quota he and Mr. Wu signed for is just too much for us to accept. Let’s allocate him 10% instead. That way, everyone else can have a bit more. What do you think?"

Yan Wenlin smiled and replied, "Mr. Zhu, if you can get Shen Dong to accept that, I don’t mind."

He also felt that Shen Dong holding a forty percent investment quota was too much.

It would squeeze Qianda Film and Television’s investment quota.

If Shen Dong could give up some of his investment quota, it would be beneficial for Qianda Film and Television.

However, since Shen Dong was a shareholder of Qianda Film and Television and he was the general manager, he couldn’t say these things to Shen Dong.

Otherwise, he might end up in a very bad situation.

"Mr. Yan, your word means a lot, I’ll go talk to him," Zhu Zhiyong said with a smile.

He was confident he could handle a greenhorn.

Then, he turned to look at Wu Jin, "Mr. Wu, you don’t have any objections, do you?"

Wu Jin was the main actor and director of "The Battle Tiger" and had to hold a certain investment quota.

Without Wu Jin, there would be no "The Battle Tiger 2".

Wu Jin’s opinion was very important; it was necessary to ask for his view.

"No objections," Wu Jin said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Facing the big shots present, he had no say, and even if he wanted to fight for Shen Dong, it would be ineffective.

If Shen Dong was willing to accept a ten percent investment quota, then he wouldn’t be breaching the contract or considered an ungrateful villain.

"Alright, I’ll go talk to him right now." He got up and left the room.

...

On Shen Dong’s side.

He was chatting with a few investors.

"Mr. Shen, Wu Jin has been gone for quite a while, and he hasn’t returned yet, could it be that he’s discussing investing in ’The Battle Tiger 2’ with other investors and leaving you out?" Han Deming spoke up.

When Wu Jin left, he clearly stated that he was going to meet with a few movie industry bigwigs to discuss the investment in "The Battle Tiger 2."

He also mentioned that he would try to secure a bit of investment quota for them.

Although they were eager to invest in "The Battle Tiger 2," even a tiny investment ratio would be good, they also knew the likelihood was not high.

But Shen Dong had a priority investment agreement with Wu Jin, and if Wu Jin left Shen Dong behind, that would be too far.

"It shouldn’t be the case, I haven’t had much contact with Wu Jin, but I don’t think he’s that kind of person. Besides, I have a priority investment agreement; he can’t possibly leave me out," Shen Dong said, seemingly unworried.

Although he knew that those big shots might be unhappy with his forty percent investment quota and might even try to exclude him,

his priority investment agreement let him remain unconcerned.

Even if some used other means, ignoring the investment agreement, to push him out of the game, he wasn’t afraid.

He was no longer someone who could be easily manipulated.

He had accumulated some clout and was not afraid of these bigwigs in the film industry.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a young woman in business attire appeared at the door. Her gaze fell on Shen Dong as she spoke softly, "Mr. Shen, hello, I am the assistant to Mr. Zhu of Jiahua Film and Television, Mr. Zhu would like to meet with you. Do you have time right now?"

"I have time." Shen Dong stood up and followed her out.

"Mr. Du, shouldn’t Wu Jin be looking for Shen Dong? Why is Mr. Zhu from Jiahua Film and Television looking for Shen Dong?" Han Deming asked, somewhat puzzled.

He didn’t quite understand the ways of the film industry; it would take Du Zhenqi to clear up the confusion.

"It’s probably because those people think Shen Dong is asking for too much investment quota, so Mr. Zhu wants to talk with Shen Dong. In such a matter, Wu Jin’s influence is minimal," Du Zhenqi sighed.

"If Shen Dong with a priority agreement can’t guarantee an investment, we really shouldn’t even dream of it," Han Deming said with a wry smile.

Sure enough, at that moment, Wu Jin returned, with an apologetic and bitter expression, explaining that he was unable to secure an investment quota for them.

After hearing Wu Jin’s explanation, everyone felt quite helpless.
