Chapter 467

467 Can’t Get the Money Back?

There were two copies of the contract. Shi Xi took one and a 50 million check.

After seeing Han Chuan, Shi Xi briefly explained the situation.

“Kuai Xue’s expenditure is indeed a lot, but it’s definitely not to the point of losing money,” Han Chuan said.

“But if you don’t sign it, Kuai Xue will be gone,” Shi Xi, who couldn’t read the accounts, said.

!!

Zhu Lin whispered, “Ever since Shi Chen took office, he has indeed shut down several companies that had negative profits and punished a few directors who embezzled their own money. Especially the chip and energy companies, they’ve laid off a lot of people!”

Han Chuan was deep in thought. “Although Kuai Xue isn’t making a negative profit, the profit it brings isn’t high.”

Kuai Xue didn’t sign many artists, and Shi Xi was the only one who could make money.

However, according to the ratio, Shi Xi would get half of it, along with the maintenance of the company’s operations and other expenses.

After calculating all these, their profits were indeed not as good as the other subsidiary companies.

“That’s why the most important thing now is to prepare for this movie,” Shi Xi said.

“But isn’t 500 million yuan a little too hard to achieve? With an investment of 50 million, we can’t even afford to hire a good actress,” Zhu Lin couldn’t help but say.

Han Chuan nodded. “It’s very harsh.”

“I’ve seen other people’s movies. Don’t they all get billions at the box office?” Shi Xi was bewildered.

“You only saw the box office earnings of a few billion yuan. You didn’t see the investment of a few billion yuan.” Han Chuan was speechless. “How can the effect produced by 50 million be the same as the effect produced by 500 million? Take a look at your phone. How many of the latest movies have box office sales of over 100 million yuan?”

Shi Xi: “…”

She had been too careless.

“But it’s fine. If Xi Xi can’t do it, she’ll go home and inherit the family property,” Zhu Lin said enviously.

Han Chuan was at a loss for words.

“Don’t worry about it. I have money now. Let’s start the project first,” Shi Xi said.

The thought of her movie getting 500 million at the box office made Shi Xi a little nervous.

Ah, ah, ah, she couldn’t let the movie hit the streets!

“Let’s start with the actors,” Han Chuan said.

There were as many actors in the industry as there were hairs on a cow, but there were only a few outstanding actors.

Outstanding and famous actors were even more expensive.

During this period, the entire Shi Corporation was busy.

Shi Xi was busy with the movie while Shi Chen and Shi Xu were busy with god knows what.

Only Ning Yu went to work leisurely every day, finishing her work in ten minutes, and then eating small cakes and playing games.

She even gained a few pounds.

After two weeks, when the Board of Directors convened again, Shi Xu released the evidence of the former Financial Director Jiang Chen embezzling public funds.

“Back then, the company’s accounts were in a deficit of 700 million, and the former Financial Deputy Director Xu Ziqing fled for fear of punishment.”

“I’ve checked all the Financial Department’s accounts and found out that Xu Ziqing only embezzled 70 million.”

“The remaining 630 million went into Jiang Chen’s pocket and he put the blame on Xu Ziqing.”

“Before the meeting, I already called the police and asked for their assistance to freeze and investigate Jiang Chen’s personal property.”

All the directors were shocked. “It was Jiang Chen who embezzled public funds?”

They all thought that Xu Ziqing had absconded with the money, but they didn’t expect that there was already a parasite in the company.

Shi Chen lifted his chin slightly. “Then, I’ll have to trouble Director Shi to follow up on this matter and see if we can recoup some of our losses.”

Those who embezzled public funds would usually transfer the money to an overseas bank.

This way, even if he was caught, he could leave the money behind.

After Jiang Chen was caught, everyone felt like they couldn’t get their money back.

However, when they were counting his assets, the police found that all his assets had been transferred from overseas accounts to domestic accounts.
