Chapter 62 Reinvestment
Ordinary days always pass quickly, and Ji Xin'an's daily routine of going to school and coming home was no different from that of other students, except for occasional dates with Yao Wenhuang or band practice. Before she knew it, summer had quietly arrived.
Just as Ji Xin'an thought this semester would go on like this, someone disagreed.
Song Jiang was very dissatisfied with her attitude of ignoring the company, and he coerced her into coming to the company over the phone. "Ji Xin'an, you two shareholders are really busy people, it's not easy to see you both. Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the funds?"
Ji Xin'an chuckled and said, "I just don't trust anyone as much as I trust Song Ge, the year-end dividend is already in sight, with this level of skill, even if Zhou Ze and I combined and multiplied by ten, we still can't compare to you, so I won't bother meddling in this."
"You just want to be lazy and get away with it." Song Jiangliang was very pleased with her flattery, and happily scolded her.
"This isn't laziness, this is self-awareness." Ji Xin'an leaned against the table with one hand supporting her chin, looking somewhat unconvinced.
"Anyway, you're the company's largest shareholder, so you have both the obligation and the right to know about various decisions made by the company. This includes last year's new releases and album sales, as well as this year's plans." Song Jiangliang handed her two thick bound volumes of planning documents.
"Is it really this much?" Ji Xin'an looked at the thickness and got a headache.
Song Jiang Liang looked at her with a bitter face and smiled, "Our company launched five new artists last year, each releasing an album or EP, all of which had very good results. Although the sales were not comparable to yours, they were all leading in the same period albums, and our company's singers also appeared in the top ten of various charts."
"I knew Song Ge was awesome." Ji Xin'an smiled complacently, sighing that she had foresight.
"It's not just the two songs you wrote that made Yin Sisi and Bu Nan overnight sensations, now they're one of our company's top brother and sister acts." Song Jiangliang couldn't help but admire Ji Xin'an, any song that came from her hands was a guaranteed success, and talking to her made people easily forget that she was just a teenager.
Ji Xin'an smiled faintly and didn't speak. How could he tell him that this was their hit song, only that he had written it for them ahead of time?
"The company also invested in a TV series last year, although it didn't get much attention, the results were pretty good. This year they're planning to film two more, and are currently selecting actors. What do you think of these scripts?" Song Jiangliang handed her two scripts.
"Song Ge, you're really all-capable, now starting to film TV dramas." Ji Xin'an held it in her hand, and was shocked when she saw the name, didn't expect it to be these two, but could only keep it to herself. "I don't need to look anymore, with your choice I have nothing to worry about, guaranteed to be a huge hit."
"Don't think about slacking off, take a look quickly." Song Jiangliang also thought highly of these two scripts, and this was something he had managed to 'grab' with great difficulty.
"But Song Ge, if the chosen actor is a newcomer and doesn't have a company, I suggest signing them under our banner." Ji Xin'an held the script and flipped through it, roughly reading it, and found that there were no major changes from what she had in mind, so she put it down.
"You think so highly of these two plays?" Song Jiangliang also had this intention, but he didn't expect that Ji Xin'an would also have such an idea.
"Of course, the script chosen by Song Ge can't be bad!" Ji Xin'an smiled, in this one, the male lead is not mentioned, but all the female characters from the main character to the small supporting roles are all very popular, and another one was even filmed as a sequel after more than a decade.
What Ji Xin'an saw was what made her so determined, on the table were "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and "Love to the End", if the people inside signed with their company, Ji Xin'an might not have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
"You're just flattering, okay, since you agree, we've decided. Let's not discuss this for now." Song Jiangliang put away the things on the table and locked it up. "An An, now that the company has entered a stable development phase, we don't need to invest more money either. With so much dividend from the company, are you just going to leave it in the bank to earn interest?"
"I've been busy with other things lately, just took a glance at the numbers, and haven't thought about it yet. Is Song Ge thinking of doing something else?" Ji Xin'an didn't want his money to depreciate in the bank by itself.
"I've been so busy all day that I barely have time to sleep, let alone do anything else. I'm asking you because I want you to think of a way that doesn't take up too much time but can still be invested." Song Jiangliang no longer treated her like a child, because Ji Xin'an's decision-making in starting a company and selecting people had been very successful, so he even started listening to her opinions.
Listening to Song Jiang Liang, suddenly thought of the clean lake and grassland in the suburbs, "Song brother, I do have an idea, but this is a long-term investment, with a large input, and can't guarantee it will make as much money as the company."
"What business can guarantee a 100% profit, tell me, if it's feasible we'll do it, if the money isn't enough, with how well the company is developing now, we can take out a loan." Song Jiangliang looked at her with trusting eyes.
"I want to buy the entire piece of land by the lake in the suburbs, including that small hill on the side." Ji Xin'an said firmly.
"You want to do real estate? But it's too biased, at least you should be in the city district." Song Jiang Li furrowed his brow, thinking about it but couldn't understand her meaning.
"I want to do real estate, but not in the ordinary sense. I want to plan a Shangri-La there." Ji Xin'an smiled and continued, "The scenery is very good, we can build a resort that integrates accommodation and dining, develop some entertainment projects by the lake and on the mountain, so that people who are under too much pressure in the city have a place to relax and unwind."
"The idea is good, let's talk about it in detail." Song Jiang became interested, this was indeed a blank space in the city.
"The mountain villa's food should have its own characteristics, and all of it should be purely green, grown or raised by ourselves. This way, not only can we relax our minds, but also go for a health retreat. Although the mountain is not big, it's easy to get around and won't get lost. We can set up some entertainment projects, such as moving the concept of a shooting range outdoors, and that river can be modified to play rafting, etc. As time goes on, there will be more and more entertainment projects, and people who come for health retreats will definitely increase. Finally, we'll develop a villa complex in the best location, which will definitely sell well." Ji Xin'an looked forward to transforming that future landfill into something new.
Song Jiang seemed to be moved by her words, "Let's make a detailed plan, if it's feasible, I'll think of ways to deal with the local situation."
"Did you agree?" Ji Xin'an was surprised, didn't expect that she just casually mentioned her own thoughts, and got Song Jiangliang's support.
"Your idea is not perfect yet, but it indeed has development prospects here. If we can take the lead, the chances of success will be much greater. And what you said sounds so beautiful that I even want to go myself, let alone others." Song Jiangliang smiled and said, "I say, how do you have so many ideas in your head? Sometimes I really want to open it up and see what's different from others."
"There's nothing different, just a bit of fantasy, didn't expect you to follow me in madness." Ji Xin'an thought this wasn't what he had expected, it was just that he had watched too much.
The two of them began to study and research in detail, discussing back and forth, and drafted a rough outline of the plan.
