Now when it comes to the Internet, as long as it is a slightly larger second- and third-tier city, it is natural to say that there are almost few people who do not know the situation of the popularization of personal computers in individual households.

Even if you don't have a computer at home, it's only two or three dollars an hour to go to an Internet café, which is not a big deal at all. But in '99, even if it was a big city, such as Beijing and Shanghai, there was no saying that every house had a computer, and the Internet café at that time almost said that there was no, and it was more of a game hall.

At that time, there were not many people who dared to bet their worth on the Internet, an industry that seemed to have no future, but many people who dared to gamble like this would have rich gains. The Ma Huateng in front of him is actually one of them, one of the bigwigs in the Internet industry later. Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said: "This is all what you said, you can't prove yourself, no wonder no one believes you, you talk about it, how much investment you hope to pull." ”

Ma Huateng originally didn't have any hope, and planned to go to Hong Kong City to see if there was anything to do with it, but when he heard Ye Ming say this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Mr. Ye is also interested in this industry, and I believe that this industry will not disappoint Mr. Ye." Now, our company is in the stage of growth, so it needs to spend a lot.

Several people in our company discussed it and thought that the value of 10% of the company's shares should be about 10 million, and if anyone is willing to invest, we are willing to sell some of our own shares. ”

10 million, this is a very large number in 99 years, even if it is said that a three-bedroom apartment is required in the third ring road of the capital, it is basically only 500,000 or 600,000. Ye Ming himself likes to ask for real estate. Especially when it comes to the kind of courtyard houses that have become extinct later, at this time he has already said that the intermediary company has purchased three sets of courtyard houses, and all of them are within the scope of the reserve. I don't have to worry about being demolished at all, but even so. The price of these three sets of courtyard houses is only more than 3.2 million.

As soon as Ma Huateng opened his mouth, it was 10 million, this price, no wonder the boss in the hall sneered at this young man, who is afraid of having money and burning in a panic, isn't it? Anyway, no boss would be optimistic about Teng Consulting Company at such a time.

Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "This price is too high, not many people in China will accept such a price, investing in your company is quite risky, Wall Street's Hu Liang network bubble has just burst and there is not much time, you are like this." I want to develop in a new field, even if I am a venture capitalist, 18 million, I want 20% of the shares, this a few of your partners to study it, if you want, then we will discuss the next things,"

Ma Huateng actually meant a sky-high asking price, and when he discussed it with a few partners, he said that it was 10 million and 10 percent of the shares. That's just a temptation, and I didn't expect it to be such a high price, eight or nine million. It is also within the scope of their acceptance, doing business, there is always a process of bargaining. At this time, Ye Ming gave such a price, in fact, Ma Huateng himself can call the shots.

Therefore, when he heard Ye Ming's price, he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away again. In the past few days, he has traveled from Huhu City to the capital, but he has met no less than 100 bosses, and no one is willing to calm down and listen to his introduction. Now that there is finally a reason to invest, he naturally has to grasp it firmly.

Therefore. At this moment, Ma Huateng said very happily: "This is not negotiable at all. As the chairman, I still have this right. Eighteen million is eighteen million, Mr. Ye, when will we be able to sign a contract? "With such a sum of money, then at this time, Tengxun will be able to replace bigger and better servers, and it will be able to increase its efforts in publicity.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Sign the contract, tomorrow, you prepare the content of the contract, probably we will give you nine million first, and then before the end of the year, we will give you the remaining nine million, Mr. Ma don't be careful, after all, it is an Internet company, we have to be cautious, and the investment money will be given to you in two batches." ”

In fact, Ye Ming is also very helpless, not that he can't take out the eighteen million, but he still has to shoot a movie, if he gives Teng Xun all of a sudden, then there is no need to make a movie.

For 9 million, it can be very easy to shoot a movie. As for the other nine million at the end of the year, after the Chinese New Year film, will Brilliant Film and Television be short of money? It is not bad money at all, so Ye Ming has the confidence to finish the rest of the money.

Ye Ming said that the way of giving Qing twice, in fact, the general venture capital fund or something is also given like this, saying that it is an investment of two million, and it will not give you two million immediately, but give a part of it first, and after reviewing the use of this part of the fee, borrow the rest of the money. Therefore, Ma Huateng is not surprised at all by Ye Ming's behavior, since he said that he would give nine million first, then he was not afraid that Ye Ming would not give the remaining nine million.

How much investment the New Film Association has pulled this time, Ye Ming is not very clear in being ruthless, but seeing Liu Dong's smiling face, it seems that he has gained quite a lot, anyway, he is no longer sad for money. The next day, in the Brilliant Film and Television Office, Ma Huateng and Ye Ming signed a contract, and 9 million was transferred to the account of Tengxun Company. This qiē Sister Fang naturally said that she looked at it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, the boss has the boss's shelf, and the things he decides, as a subordinate, it is better not to be honest and don't care, on such a question, no matter what she says, Sister Fang Fang will not offend the majesty of the boss in front of outsiders.

But after Ma Huateng left, Sister Fang Fang was a little unhappy: "Boss, now that the company is using money, you directly give money to an Internet and company for a key thing like this, and an industry that can't be beaten by movies, what's the difference between playing and playing in the water." ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "You have to worry about this, Tengxun is a very promising company, in fact, I also want to get involved in this industry, in the future, the film market and the Internet are very related, and the layout in advance is the king." Not only Teng Xun, but also, Qianbaidu, you collect information about this company for me, as long as there is an opportunity, immediately buy the shares of this company. There is no limit to how much. ”

Hearing that Ye Ming still wanted Jixi to invest in such a question, Sister Fang Fang immediately objected and said: "We still need to invest in movies, and the theater chain also needs money, it is a place to burn money, where is there so much money to invest." ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "It doesn't cost much to shoot [People in Embarrassment], and besides, after our Chinese New Year stalls are over, the company is not rich." I didn't ask you to act immediately, I just said that you should pay attention to yourself, find a suitable opportunity to start, and if you have any interests yourself, then you can also follow the investment at such a time. I promise I won't let you down. Seeing that Ye Ming's attention had been decided.

Sister Fang Fang knew that it was impossible for her to change Ye Ming's mind.

immediately changed the topic and said: "Forget it, anyway, the company has so much money, you yourself are the boss, you have the final say, I will make people pay attention, but now we don't have this time, [people are embarrassed] to start filming, the Chinese New Year film directed by Feng Xiaogang has begun, if we don't hurry up, we won't rush." ”

Ye Ming nodded, after all, the company's main business is actually making movies, so he thought about it before nodding and saying, "There is no problem, how much liquidity does our company have in the account now." ”

Sister Fang Fang didn't need to look at the information, what she recorded was very clear, and she opened her mouth and said: "Three million, you can't say that you won't stay a penny in the company, I think it is good to be able to take out two million and six hundred thousand." "If you want to shoot good people, I calculated that I need to have about five million funds. We are still short of about two million shortfalls. ”

The big housekeeper is the big housekeeper of the century, and she knows this kind of thing very clearly, she just said that she told Ye Ming about the difficulties encountered by the company, and she told Ye Ming. Savior is not so easy to do.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and received the goods: "Three million, it's enough, let's start shooting first, if it's really not enough at that time, then it's not too late to think about other things." It's a big deal, just go to the bank for a loan when the time comes. ”

The production cost of [Crazy Stone] is less than this, but Ye Ming can shoot a high-grossing movie, the classic is hard to say, but at least it makes people feel that it is worth spending money to buy tickets after watching it.

Therefore, even if it is said that there is a difference of two million, at this time, Ye Ming did not hesitate to start filming [People in Embarrassment]. And the cost of making a person in embarrassment is indeed comparative, roads, railways, shipping, etc. are all used, and it will even mean that there are scenery from all over the world, and it is obviously impossible to shoot in one place.

Therefore, Sister Fang Fang gave a price of five million, which was already a price for the profession of the day. And if there is any change in the middle, then in such a case, in fact, the possibility of this price will rise cannot be ruled out.

When making a movie, all aspects of things have to be taken into account.

Because no one knows what will happen in the next second. (To be continued)
