Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Under China Film's call, Lionsgate Pictures quickly arranged for someone to come to the door, and he was the company's second-in-command. For China Film, Lionsgate is a small independent production company, and the status of the two parties is seriously unequal. If it is not Qu Li's request, it will not be considered at all.

Why did Naquli know about Lionsgate? It's not because this company has grown into the best film company after the Big Six in Hollywood, nor is it because of their cooperation with Electro-Optical Media.

It was because a Chinese-American director filmed the low-cost "Chain Saw" the year before last. This horror film earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office at a cost of $1.2 million. Also released "Fahrenheit 9/11", "American Psycho" and other box office and evaluation double harvest movies.

Qu Li's English proficiency is not high, but with the help of an interpreter, he is not afraid.

"Hello, I know you. Recently, many media in North America have been reporting on you, a talented young man from China. Your method of defeating Microsoft and Intel has been recognized by many people in Silicon Valley." Brian Goldsmith

"Really, then I'm so happy, someone finally recognizes my wild thinking."

"That's not a wild idea. In fact, someone has already done this, and it has become a listed company."

"Oh, really, I don't know yet."

"Of course, the name of this company is Salesforce, but you need to understand the specific situation yourself."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much anyway."

Then everyone began to discuss "The Comet", which they had already done a rough translation before, and hung up the subtitles for Brian to watch it on the computer.

"This movie does have a selling point, we can give it a try." Brian didn't hesitate for long, and quickly agreed to let "Comet" be released on a large scale in the United States.

Witnessed by China Film, the two parties reached a relatively fair distribution agreement, 15% of the distribution share, and paid 1.5 million US dollars in promotional expenses, which were mainly used for spot screenings and word-of-mouth marketing, of which 500,000 was in charge of Qu Li.

Because of the huge risk of distribution, Qu Li paid China Film Group an additional 1 million soft sister coins as a reward, which is regarded as a listing fee. China Film Group is also responsible for monitoring whether Lionsgate is pocketing. If all goes well, Lionsgate will earn 1.5 million US dollars. The distribution fee should also be careful, and if you want to continue to cooperate with China Film, this time you have to do it beautifully.

The domestic box office of "Comet" has a share of 4.75 million. After deducting (accounting) costs of 250,000, there is still 4.5 million. The bad monkey pays about 5% of the personal tax, and there are 4.3 million. . Sell ​​the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan copyright and revenue rights to China Film Group, of which 1 million is remuneration, the remaining 450,000 US dollars will be handed over to Lionsgate, and the remaining 50,000 US dollars will be the cost of Qu Li's video production and promotion on YouTube.

However, the international copyright of "Comet" was sold to Qu Li's leather bag company in Xiangjiang, so it has little to do with China, and it will be unclear when the time comes.

Under this model, Qu Li and Lionsgate share the risk. If the box office in North America is not good in the end, it is likely that all of them will be in vain or the promotion fee will be recovered. China Film has no risk at all.

After many days of delay, he was finally able to leave for Yangcheng. This time, he had another harvest in Beijin. Lin Bing finally agreed to leave his job at the end of the year and start a business with him. Knowing that Qu Li was leaving, Zhou Shaoning, who had met him two or three times these days, asked him to meet again.

"If I join, will you worry about being ostracized?" Zhou Shaoning didn't know if he had fallen into an evil spirit. At first, he was encouraged by Ma Yun to do logistics, but now he was tempted by Qu Li and wanted to start a business with him. Can't compare to a junior high school student?

"..." Hearing this, Qu Li was very hesitant and doubtful, could he really be the son of destiny, let alone Lin Bing, he was an engineer, but Zhou Shaoning was a professional manager.

"I don't worry about being fake. I don't know how much trust you have in me. Do you simply believe in the direction I chose, or do you believe in my ability? Do you want to fight for power with me, or do you really want to do this well."

"Is there any difference?" Zhou Shaoning asked back

"I don't know." Qu Li said awkwardly. This is like Ahri's CEO Zhang Yong who suddenly resigned and said that he would start a business with a small company owner. It is a test for everyone.

"How many shares do you want? Invest as a founder, or with venture capital."

"Do you think that method is more suitable?" Zhou Shaoning

"The venture capital offer is 30% off, up to 10%, exit is restricted, and the shares will be recovered at a discount within a certain period of time." Qu Li quickly gave a solution. If he disagrees, he must not do it. He cannot be a major shareholder and cannot make a decision. For the direction of business management, he might as well invest in Goudong and be Dongge's brother.

"I want to think about it." This time Zhou Shaoning did not agree easily

"Okay, I will start formal negotiations with Sequoia and IDG after I return to Yangcheng. Before they make an offer, they can do so at any time."

"I understand." Zhou Shaoning knew that his joining would be a double-edged sword for Qu Li, even if he didn't take the initiative, he might be pushed by the venture capital to occupy the magpie's nest. But in the view of venture capital, it will increase the probability of success of Wan Hei, and it will also increase the valuation of Wan Hei.

In this way, Qu Li returned to Yangcheng with full of thoughts. Even if these two big cows join, there are still many things to consider in the future, such as the choice of headquarters. Beijin is the education center and the talent distribution center of the country. There are many people I just want to stay in Beijin and don't want to go south.

Xiong Ge and Shen Nanpeng had already arrived in Yangcheng. Chen Danlin was in charge of receiving them and introducing the situation of the company at the same time. There is nothing to hide. The most important assets of Wanhehei are not the three online stores now, but Quli's brain inside the idea.

"You're finally done." Xiong Ge euphemistically expressed dissatisfaction. It's a trouble for entrepreneurs to have too many ideas and not be able to focus on the business. If Qu Li was not too amazing, he really wanted to give up.

"There is no way. If you want to use the lowest cost to promote, some things are unavoidable." Qu Li is not busy, he is advertising for his own company and brand.

With the announcement of the Olympic torch, Qu Li's Xiangyun men's clothing came out, and the sales of the online store have skyrocketed these days, surpassing Danlin's women's clothing store. This is the proof of the formation.

Xiong Ge said that he did not entangle, he invested in people, if he chooses to believe it, he should believe it to the end and give him a chance to prove it.

"To be honest, your current company doesn't have many bright spots..." Shen Nanpeng

"In addition to the super high revenue, you are more profitable than I imagined. You can hire people to build the website yourself..."

"I want to lay a solid foundation. It will be more difficult to change in the future if I choose to be good at the beginning. It is better to adopt higher standards in the core department from now on."

"Have you found the talent you want?"

"One has been decided, and another one is in hesitation."

"Who?" Shen Nanpeng

"Lin Bing, Engineering Director of Microsoft Research Asia!"

"Who?" Bear Pigeon

"Lin Bing, Engineering Director of Microsoft Research Asia!"

Shen Nanpeng and Xiong Ge glanced at each other, this man's level of fooling is too high!
