After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 902 - 482: Keeping a Low Profile Is Essential (Part 2)

Lu Sijia listened to Chen Feng's words and wasn't angry. She explained, "Boss, I understand your concerns. But this time we really have a rare opportunity. The project leader of this large project happens to be my master's husband, also my graduate advisor's husband. I have a very good relationship with them; I've often gone to their house for meals and drinks, and I'm still in contact with their daughter who's my close friend. The news about this project was actually revealed to me by my friend."

Later, I asked my friend to inquire specifically from my master, and then I personally contacted him and received his permission. Only then was I confident that our company could get a foot in the door. Besides, this large-scale war film is basically a mainstream movie, with the National Film Company backing it. It might not make a huge profit, but surely it won't suffer a loss."

Moreover, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to collaborate with those major film companies to establish good relationships, allowing our company to smoothly enter the film field and expand connections and channel relationships. This is very important for the future development of our company."

Lu Sijia's reasoning made sense. From the perspective of her company's general manager, what she's doing is definitely for the company's good. Also, she mentioned that this project is almost impossible to fail and there's a chance to make money. Additionally, it can build connections with major companies like the National Film Company."

Chen Feng was initially tempted, but quickly felt that establishing relationships with companies like the National Film Company didn't seem necessary.

He started the company with the initial purpose of "laundering money," providing a reasonable explanation for his sudden wealth. Later, this Fengmang Film and Television Company indeed became very profitable, fulfilling his initial purpose.

His secondary purpose was to have this company make money for him, and now it is indeed profitable. So, why should he try to cozy up to big players and get tangled in those complex interpersonal and interest relationships? Wouldn't that make him uncomfortable? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Making money quietly and keeping a low profile, isn't that better?

So, Chen Feng hesitated only slightly for two seconds before saying, "Your idea is very good. You want to make our company bigger and stronger. But don't forget that our company has only been established for a few months. We actually don't have any strong background or backing. For now, there's no need to be too aggressive and ambitious. For now, let's just play around in the television series sector. If suitable opportunities arise, consider investing in some small budget films rather than immediately participating in billion-scale projects. At present, we are still small and can't play with those big players."

Lu Sijia remained silent for a while, then asked, "Do you think it's too risky to invest hundreds of millions at once?"

Chen Feng frankly admitted, "There's some truth in that, but the main reason is that I think we shouldn't stand out too much. Staying low-key is paramount. Moreover, to be blunt, can you really trust your master one hundred percent? And can he truly have full control over such a large project? I'm not saying he intentionally wants to trap you or our company, but there are a lot of variables and interest entanglements involved. We don't need to take the risk and get involved."

As for establishing connections with companies like the National Film Company, I also feel there's no real necessity. You have to rely on your own strength. Besides, in business, most of the time it's not about relationships or morals. Even if we establish good connections with them, will they give us money for nothing? Offer profitable deals with no loss?"

At present, the big direction of our company is to steadily produce TV dramas, and also find ways to promote a few signed artists and earn money from them. If the script is suitable, we can consider investing in some small-budget films. I know you have strong career aspirations, but you shouldn't be too eager. You need to take things one step at a time."

Lu Sijia was quiet for an even longer time before she sighed and said, "Okay, you've convinced me. It seems I've been a bit too ambitious, thinking our company is very powerful. But as you said, our company has only been established for several months, and we lack foundation. We indeed need to proceed steadily. This multi-million-dollar project is indeed a bit risky, lacking in stability. I apologize to you."

Seeing her listening to his words, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile, and said, "You don't have to be so formal and serious. We're just chatting and communicating casually. You come over a bit earlier this afternoon; let's have a get-together."

"Why don't I come over at noon for a meal? Otherwise, I'll have to order takeaway." Lu Sijia wasn't reserved either.

Chen Feng laughed heartily and said, "Sure, you come over at noon then. And take the chance to relax here; didn't you really fancy the pool here? You can spend the afternoon in the pool today."

"Haha, just waiting for you to say that. I'll come over later then."

...

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng looked at Sun Wu's two women, smiling, and said, "I've successfully convinced her. Plus, she might be coming over soon; she'll be having lunch with us and using the pool."

Sun Wu's two women exchanged glances, then Wu Mengting said, "Then it'll be lively here today. Later, Little Rui's brother and his girlfriend are also coming over."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng remembered that too and laughed, "Having more people is fun. Previously, when you guys went to work, I was home alone, and sometimes it seemed too quiet."

Sun Xiaorui, relieved after Chen Feng said this, smiled and nodded, "Yes, with three of us living in such a big house, sometimes it feels too spacious and quiet."

Wu Mengting turned to Chen Feng and smiled, "Why don't you find a couple more women to live in and keep you company?"

Chen Feng didn't continue this line of talk, instead asked, "Didn't you often invite Sijia over to play before? Why later on she hardly came?"

The two women exchanged glances again, and finally Wu Mengting said, "Initially, our relationship with her was quite good, but later on some arguments arose due to specific company matters, including personnel appointments; over time, although we didn't become antagonistic, the relationship wasn't as harmonious as it started. She naturally felt embarrassed to come over as a guest again, and we didn't invite her."

Chen Feng was not surprised by this, and just nodded, saying, "I think you should not make your relationship too tense with her. The best is to keep clear separations between public and private affairs; business is business, private life is private life. Even if there are disputes and conflicts in business, it's best not to bring them into each other's personal life."

Wu Mengting shook her head and said, "It's easy to talk about separating business and personal matters, but how many can truly achieve it? We can only try our best. Fortunately, we know that though we sometimes argue, we all stop in time, and it's all for the company's good with goodwill."

Chen Feng didn't say much on this topic either, as he originally brought them into the company to balance out Lu Sijia; if the three of them were too harmonious, he as the boss would also feel a bit awkward.
