Although Du Caige doesn't care about the "strongest team", if he can win, it is certainly better than losing.

So he planned to go to Shirai City in advance to see the training of the trainees and cheer them up.

I heard that several other tutors have been to their group of students to provide customized one-on-one professional counseling and help as much as they can.

Of course, Du Caige can't completely release his team.

However, how do you help?

That, of course, is impossible.

Because he didn't recruit and didn't know how to specialize.

So Du Caige was going to pour them some chicken soup and ...... Let's see the hair.

Maybe after drinking the chicken soup, they will be able to explode.

It's just that Du Caige can't leave for the time being, at least after Shu Yihuan's press conference announcing the new film.

For this reason, Du Caige has cut out a 20-second trailer of "Those Years" during this time, preparing to take advantage of the situation to do a wave of publicity for "Those Years".

Several high-level executives of Dream Chase Entertainment, including Du Caige, have met with Shu Yihuan and had a good conversation.

The press conference is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and preparations are now in full swing.

However, after waking up from a sleep, Du Caige thought that he had not woken up yet.

"That's not true, is it? When did it happen? Why didn't I get any news?"

After confirming it several times, Du Caige accepted this beautiful fact:

Dream Mutual Entertainment spent 350 million yuan to buy 17% of the shares of the "Sword and Shadow" company!

Sword and Shadow, the full name of "Sword and Sword Shadow Digital Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd.", is one of the top 3 special effects companies in Dahua and one of the top 10 in the world.

The company has been involved in the production of special effects for many famous sci-fi blockbusters in Dahua and Hollywood, and has won several Oscars and Dahua Academy Awards in visual effects.

Its market value is 1.8 billion Chinese dollars, and Du Caige converted it in his heart, which is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 730 million US dollars in 2020.

350 million to buy 17% of 1.8 billion, which is undoubtedly a premium.

But the problem is that the operation of Sword and Sword is quite good and has been profitable.

Although many big film and television companies, even including Hollywood's big film and television companies, want to buy their shares, they don't plan to sell them!

So Du Caige felt very pleasantly surprised.

He has been in Azure Star for several months, and has seen many movies in which Swords and Swords have participated in post-production, and he is very confident in the company's special effects.

Intuitively, the company is currently able to do the special effects required for the Iron Man series perfectly.

350 million to buy 17% of the company's shares, of course, is too cost-effective!

The future market value of this company is going to 5 billion, 10 billion.

And the most critical question is not whether the investment can be profitable.

But after becoming a shareholder of Sword and Shadow, he will entertain the movies he wants to make after his dreams, and the special effects will be guaranteed.

The sword and sword shadow are equivalent to brothers who chase dreams and entertain each other.

Even sometimes in order to catch up with the release of a certain schedule, you have to work overtime, so you only need to say hello to your brother.

"I'm in a hurry with this movie, brother, push the other work, arrange it for me first!"

"Okay!"

Early in the morning, when Du Caige learned the news, he was as happy as a 140-pound child.

But...... But...... Why did Sword Shadow agree to sell the shares to Dream Chase Entertainment? Why didn't he receive any news? Why didn't he, as the major shareholder and executive director of Dream Chase Entertainment, know anything about such a large amount of acquisition?

"Because when we had a meeting to discuss before, you were all dozing!" Duan Xiaochen said angrily.

Du Caige scratched his head, and his gaze stayed on the collar of Duan Xiaochen's pajamas for a moment before withdrawing it.

"Why, if you want to see it, you can watch it boldly, it's not like I won't show you. Duan Xiaochen smiled, but pulled the collar down a little more, the shadow was abundant, and the scenery was unique.

Du Caige turned his head.

I always feel that today's Duan Xiaochen is not normal.

If it was normal, Duan Xiaochen would not speak to himself so angrily.

Could it be that Yan Yingzhen intervened in this merger and acquisition case?

After Duan Xiaochen explained, Du Caige said in his heart, "Sure enough."

Founded in 1996, Sword & Shadow had been a small workshop-style special effects company until 1999, when it became their majority shareholder by Dusk Investment, and it slowly grew bigger.

In 2005, Duhe Investment launched a series of cooperation with Rouzhi Investment, and cross-held some of their respective investments.

Rouzhi Investment has obtained a 15% stake in Sword Shadow and can purchase another 20% stake in Sword and Shadow from Twilight Investment at a premium of no more than 10% in the next five years.

This time, Rouzhi Investment exercised this right and sold 17% of the 20% shares it purchased to Dream Entertainment.

In this way, Dream Mutual Entertainment and Rouzhi Investment jointly hold 35% of the shares of Sword and Sword.

At present, Duhe Investment only owns 31% of the shares of Sword Shadow, and the remaining 34% of the shares of Sword and Sword Shadow are scattered among the founding team and other investors.

In other words, if Rouzhi Investment and Dream Mutual Entertainment are combined, they can control the sword and sword shadow to a certain extent, and affect the decision-making and future direction of the sword and sword shadow!

This is really the best news Du Caige has received in recent days.

However, Duan Xiaochen was still sullen.

"She's done so much for you. When Du Caige asked, Duan Xiaochen said.

She sat on the sofa of the Du family, without makeup and without powder, her pajamas were loose, and her sitting posture was also loose and saggy, without a straight chest and a straight waist.

Although it is still beautiful and sexy, it does not have the aura of a big star and the sharp temperament.

is like an ordinary little woman, a beautiful but contented little wife with her husband and children.

"She has done too much for me?" Du Caige chewed on this sentence, grasping Duan Xiaochen's mentality.

She felt that Yan Yingzhen had done too much for herself and paid too much, worried that her efforts would be compared, and that she would lose her value in the eyes of Du Caige.

He walked over and rubbed her head, rubbing her hair: "Do you say you are stupid? What is the comparison? Do you do less for me? Although you are not so generous, it is worth hundreds of millions at every turn." But it's also your hard work, isn't it? You take out your life savings to start a company with me, will I be blind and can't see such a effort?"

Duan Xiaochen smiled, and the dimples were rippling with happiness. "I'm just a little fool, and I wouldn't have tasted anything without you. ”

What can Du Caige say? I can only give her a lingering kiss.

"How much liquidity does the company have?" asked Du Caige after talking about business again.

When the company was established, it had a registered capital of 1 billion.

With these registered funds alone, the volume of Dream Mutual Entertainment can rank in the top 15 in the entertainment industry.

You must know that Leping Entertainment is also a well-known entertainment company, but it only cost less than 300 million yuan to invest in the acquisition of them.

However, the current dream mutual entertainment can only be said to have a relatively healthy cash flow.

Its influence, the funds it can leverage, etc., are worlds apart from the Seven.

The seven are at least tens of billions of volumes.

If you want to be among the top eight, it takes many years of struggle to achieve it.

The acquisition of 17% of the shares of Sword and Sword is an important step for Dream Entertainment.

Du Caige believes that in the future, everyone will be able to realize this.

And Yan Yingzhen, who decisively helped Dream Mutual Entertainment complete the acquisition, is really worthy of being the richest woman in Dahua with excellent vision.

"I still spent some money renting office space, buying equipment, office supplies, salaries, etc. Now the company has less than 600 million on its books. Duan Xiaochen said.

"There are still a couple of projects to work on, I'm going to enter the Sakurajima market, some new directors are going to start making films, and a few singers are going to make albums. But none of this costs too much money," Duan Xiaochen frowned and said, "The real big head is Shu Yihuan." ”

Du Caige nodded.

He also participated in the meeting with Shu Yihuan. The 150 million investment movie requested by Shu Yihuan is likely to be 350 million in actual operation.

Because the great director is ambitious, he wants to build a palace complex between the mountains and mountains to restore the historical Wudang school palace group.

In the history of Azure Star, the Wudang Sect is far more glorious than on Earth.

Judging from the description of historical books, the palace group of the Wudang School is very magnificent and magnificent, and the shape is gorgeous, which is a rare architectural art treasure.

Unfortunately, those magnificent palaces have been destroyed by the war, and now only the ruins remain, just like the Old Summer Palace on earth.

Gong Liuru, the CFO of Dream Entertainment, roughly estimated that to build a palace complex that meets Shu Yihuan's shooting requirements, at least 4-5 billion yuan must be invested.

Although it is very cheap to build a palace in the middle of a lofty mountain, the cost is quite high because of the inconvenience of transportation.

Of course, the executives of Dream Chase are visionary people.

They know that if the Wudang faction palace complex is really restored, it can also be used as a film and television base to recoup funds.

If we continue to invest more, expand the scale of the film and television base, and build relatively complete supporting facilities (such as hotels, shopping, entertainment facilities, etc.), it is estimated that a total of about 2.5 billion to 3 billion yuan will be spent to establish a tourist destination.

Such a tourist mecca, if properly managed, can generate a profit of more than 150 million yuan per year.

It is estimated that after more than ten to twenty years, it will be able to return to its original cost, and it will definitely continue to be profitable in the future.

Of course, chasing dreams and entertaining each other will definitely not be able to take out 2.5 billion in one go.

With the company's current fame, size, and influence, it is impossible to borrow such a large amount of money.

So it's different.

The top leaders discussed it at the meeting and there was a compromise.

If you really want to invest, squeeze it here, pick it there, reluctantly, first take out 1-2 billion in cash, and then borrow 2-3 billion.

A total of 400 million to 500 million yuan will be used as an initial investment to build this palace complex first.

When the movie is released, the fame of the place spreads to the whole country and the world, and then we will continue to invest more.

Slowly build ancillary facilities and other man-made landscaping.

It's actually possible.

It's just feasible, but it's not the optimal solution.
