Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 57 Venture Capital and Raise

Beijin Yonghang is short of money. Although Jumei has just raised funds, it doesn’t have much money, so what should I do? Of course, borrow from rich people, or let them invest in Yonghang Technology directly.

"You asked me to invest in a game company?" Wu Hongning received a call from Qu Li. This guy controls 10 billion soft sister coins. I have communicated with Shen Nanpeng, but it may still be difficult to become a limited partner of Sequoia Zhongying.

"The problem is that this company is not profitable, and the IPO is nowhere in sight. How can I invest?"

"If you don't want to, just lend me the money, and the interest will be 10%, how about it?"

"Borrowing money?" Wu Hongning couldn't just borrow money based on his brother's loyalty. How much money does Qu Li have now?

"I now have 5 million stock assets in my personal account. The 3 million you have doubled, and the 4.66 million remuneration has not yet arrived..." Qu Li is considerate

"That's it, it's not impossible." Wu Hongning didn't expect Qu Li's cash assets to exceed 15 million so quickly.

"Then how do you talk about the price and how does the venture capital value it?" Deciding to help him, Wu Hongning can also take this opportunity to learn more about the venture capital industry.

"Investment in the angel round and A round depends on the feeling, and after the A round, it depends on the income. There is a special investment model, but it is one of the core competitiveness of foreign venture capital. Don't think about prostitution."

"Look at the feeling?" Wu Hongning felt incredible

"Then what else do you want?"

"The venture capital business is not something ordinary people can do."

"So venture capital generally chooses big guys with industry backgrounds. They have done business before and have rich experience. With a little learning, they can be like ducks in water in their own industry. If you are a financial professional, it is best to do PE and earn less. But the safety factor is high. If you have the opportunity to invest in Ali Group, it is almost impossible to lose money."

"Didn't it mean that Ali might go public?"

"The listing is for B2B business, not Taobao, and it has no value."

"Then you still want to invest in Yonghang, is this company a good one?"

"Who knows, this founder is good, and he is very serious about making games. Even if he can't go public in the future, at least he can get back his money." A popular game is more than just paying back its money.

"I didn't invest in Yonghang to make money, but to cooperate with the promotion of Jumei."

"Jumei still needs publicity. I saw your name on the Internet again these days." Wu Hongning felt that Qu Li was in Versailles

"..." Qu Li was speechless. After "Comet" was screened in North America, it received rave reviews on the Internet. Now it has been screened in 1,500 theaters. Yesterday, Brian from Lions Gate informed him that starting tomorrow, there will be 2,000~2,500 theaters in North America. theaters at the same time.

This kind of news is really beyond Qu Li's best imagination. One must know that Chinese women have restrictions on American films, but does the United States have any restrictions on Chinese-language films? This is illogical. No one should believe that the U.S. market is a pure market economy, and the government of the U.S. will not interfere with business operations...

"Comet" can break the game, the high probability is that it has chosen the right partner, not the top six in Hollywood, but it is very powerful. Through Qu Li's popularity and screenings, it will expand its influence, spread wildly on the Internet, and do viral marketing...

At the beginning, no one cared, but when they really noticed "Comet", Qu Li gave up 5% of the dividends to Lions Gate by phone, and he would rather only have 30% for himself, and let them resist all the pressure and increase In terms of publicity, it also stipulates that after this year, his box office share must be credited before January 15 next year.

The box office in the first week reached 30 million U.S. dollars. Lionsgate, which saw money, decisively placed advertisements in mainstream media and expanded the scale of cinemas to 2,500.

This news spread to China, and once again became a hot spot for white-degree searches. You must know that the total investment of "Comet" is less than 500,000, and it is still a soft sister coin. Now such a high box office, why is it not shocking?

Of course, Qu Li and Lionsgate won't talk about the cost of publicity. If they say it, it won't be legendary. If the box office of this movie exceeds 100 million US dollars, it will be well-known in film history.

Of course, the events in the United States have little impact on him now, but Yao Yong, who is also a literary man, likes to communicate with him. "Comet" is mainly a brain hole, and Yao Yong is a science man. Anyway, he did not see obvious things in the movie. The theory is wrong.

The Huayi Wang brothers knew that the box office was a hit, so they also contacted him.

"Congratulations, a movie earns so much." Wang Zhongjun said enviously

"Thank you, I'm also pretending to be a tiger, borrowing the momentum of China Film Group, Lions Gate is a small company."

"It's not small, at least it's bigger than Huayi."

"It can't be compared like this. Huayi is the biggest in China."

"You are very interested in movies, will you make movies in the future?"

"It probably won't happen in the short term. One is that I don't have the energy, and I have to be responsible for Jumei. The other is that I need to learn a lot of knowledge if I want to make a movie with my own strength. After all, a movie like "Comet" is hard to come by. Even if there is a next one, it is impossible to earn so much." Qu Li has always been frank

"It's still possible to make a movie, how about continuing to cooperate with Huayi?"

"Of course, these two cooperations are a good start." Qu Li

"Then do you have any idea of ​​deepening our cooperation?" Wang Zhongjun pointed out

"Deepen? It's not necessary, how many employees does Bad Monkey have now?" Qu Li wondered

"It's not Bad Monkey, it's Huayi. We want new strategic investors to join us. I don't know if you are interested." Wang Zhongjun said bluntly

"Huayi lacks investment?"

"Ma Yun has agreed, but we can't let him buy a large number of shares alone. As you said, money alone is not enough. Your creativity and ideas are precious resources." vague

"It's good to be able to invest in Huayi, but after all, content creation is the king of movies. Excellent directors are hard to come by, Ning Hao?"

"Don't worry, you are a strategic investor. Director Feng and Ning Hao are both important directors of Huayi, and they will definitely not suffer." Wang Zhongjun had already thought about this matter, and promised to give Director Feng shares last year. Naturally, I don't mind giving some more to other important people.

"That's good. I'm more optimistic about the development of Huayi. I'll take as much as you give me. Money is not a problem." Qu Li generously promised

"Well, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, next year we will contact other interested strategic investors to discuss together." Wang Zhongjun explained

"It just so happens that I don't have much money right now, so next year I will have time to raise money!"

The Matthew effect is so obvious, those who have money will make them richer, and those who have no money can only continue to suffer. Talking about games, life is hard to waste!
