There are many foreign investors who covet the mainland film market, in addition to the most active Warner Bros., Hollywood giants such as Columbia and Paramount.

Colombia has also taken action, first establishing the largest cinema company in the mainland with Huaying and Hengcheng, and later building a joint venture with Huaying and Haotian Cinema.

Columbia didn't enter as early as Warner Bros., but it didn't look ahead like Paramount, and it hasn't taken concrete action yet.

However, now that the policy has been adjusted, it is a big blow to foreign investment.

At the same time, in 2002, when the mainland implemented the reform of the cinema system, many theaters signed three-year contracts with cinemas.

In other words, the contracts of most theaters and theaters have expired this year, and this year can be said to be an opportunity for mainland theaters to reshuffle.

And Chen Hao has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so Haotian Cinema didn't go all out to expand last year!

When Chen Hao was secretly excited, Chen Xiangang from Haotian Cinema called.

"Mr. Chen, you saw the news!" Chen Xiangang said with admiration.

He now understands why Chen Hao was in a hurry to expand last year, and his feelings are waiting for this news, in Chen Xiangang's opinion, Chen Hao is likely to have gotten inside information in advance.

"I see, you go and contact Colombia now and ask them what they are going to do with the theaters in the mainland. Chen Hao said.

When Chen Xiangang heard this, he secretly said, "Okay, I'll do it immediately." ”

"By the way, many theaters and cinema contracts have expired this year, and you can try your best to acquire them or let them join Haotian Cinemas. Chen Hao said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm already doing this. Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Xiangang naturally knew about the three-year contract between the theater and the theater chain, so he had also made a lot of preparations before.

"Well, if you want to go to the theater, try to find a big city and a prosperous area. Chen Hao said.

This will undoubtedly increase the cost of acquisition, but after Chen Hao decided to acquire and invest in 3D technology, the earth route is not very suitable for Haotian, and the Xingmei route has become the best choice.

After all, although the cost is high, the profit is also higher.

Moreover, in the future, Haotian Cinema will install IMAX giant screens and 3D screens, and there will undoubtedly be more fans in the bustling areas of big cities, and the consumption level will be higher.

"No problem. Chen Xiangang said.

After Chen Hao hung up the phone, he received another call from Hu Jin.

"Mr. Chen, good news!" Hu Jin said with a smile.

"Oh, let's talk about it!" Chen Hao's heart moved when he heard this, and it seemed that the acquisition had been completed.

"The comic valve negotiated and won 3 million yuan. Hu Jin said with a smile.

Comic is a website founded by Yang Bo alone, at the beginning he wanted to create a travel network, and named it "Donkey Zong".

However, after the actual investigation, it was found that there was little demand for it, and people were more likely to look for books, music, movies and other entertainment methods on the Internet and were willing to communicate.

So, Yang Bo changed direction and founded Compass.

From October 2004, Yang Bo asked relatives and friends to get together 200,000 yuan, and then began to develop comma, which was completed 4 months later.

It was officially launched on March 6, 2005, and in the past five months, the number of registered users of Douban has reached 25,000, and the number of daily views has reached 200,000.

And until now, the compass is still run and maintained by Yang Bo alone, and the server is also saved by 8,000 yuan, so later the compass has a legend of "one-man website".

After Hu Jin found Yang Bo this time, he elaborated on his optimism about the compass and the benefits of the compass after the acquisition.

Compass will receive sufficient funds for comprehensive upgrading, development and publicity, and will be able to become an industry leader and make a name for itself in a very short period of time.

At the same time, after the acquisition, Yang Bo is still responsible for the specific operation, and Yang Bo can harvest 3 million, and he no longer has to worry about follow-up funds and how to make profits.

Moreover, the compass can form a linkage with Haotian, which is more conducive to the development of the comma.

In the end, Yang Bo agreed to the acquisition of Haotian Holdings.

Tu Tou agreed to come up with a 40% equity financing. Hu Jin said.

"What is the valuation of Tu Fu?" Chen Hao asked when he heard this.

"Because it is after the dot-com bubble, it ushered in another Internet boom, and because it is the first video website in the mainland, the future prospects are very good, so the valuation has reached 50 million US dollars!" Hu Jin said.

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it was worth 50 million US dollars as soon as it was established and launched!

However, compared to the market value when it was listed, it is much cheaper, even if it is an investment, it is worth selling! Not to mention that it is part of its future territory, and it must be the first to start!

"Okay, I'll take all 40%. Chen Hao said.

"That's 165 million yuan!" Hu Jin reminded.

"No problem, I can afford it. Chen Hao said.

"Okay, I'll negotiate with Tu Fu immediately and draw up a contract, and you just wait for it to be signed. Hu Jin said.

"How's the light pick-up network?" Chen Hao asked.

"Well, we don't accept acquisitions, and we don't accept financing. Hu Jin said helplessly.

"Why?" Chen Hao asked.

"First of all, people who can make some achievements on the Internet are generally more conceited, feel that they are very good, and have unlimited faith in their own ability and judgment.

So they are willing to accept angel investment, but rarely accept acquisitions, like Yang Bo of Comic is just one person after all, not even a team, relatively easy to convince, but Shiguang is an Internet technology company with a registered capital of 10 million.

And the company has just been established, they believe that their future will be more valuable, and now the financing is a loss, and the most important thing is that they are not short of money now, so they are very confident. Hu Jin analyzed.

"That is to say, you have only completed less than half of the three tasks!" Chen Hao said angrily.

Hu Jin was a little depressed when he heard this, "The reason has been analyzed with you, it's good to be able to buy a comic, and usually the angel wheel is between 10% and 40%, so the earth comic is already the maximum."

As for picking up light, in fact, I don't recommend you to acquire it again, after all, you already have a compass, and the business scope of the two companies is almost the same, even if there are differences, after the compass is developed, it can be redeveloped.

There's no need to invest in the light pickup network anymore, don't you think?

If it really doesn't work, I can still talk to them, and when they want the angel wheel, under the same conditions, they can give priority to us, after all, our business is somewhat related, and there are innate advantages. ”

Chen Hao would think it made sense if ordinary people did, but Chen Hao knew that this was a business that would make money without losing money, "Yes, you can talk to them first and give us priority." ”

"No problem!"
