Chapter 1006: Building the Stage
Jing Jian didn't care much about the sky-high asking price of Miracle Leasing. Not all business is like this, when you sell, you ask for a sky-high price, and when you buy, you desperately lower the price. But when you complete the transaction, you still have to look at whether your income is worth it.
Needless to say, copyright is an imperative for you. And the more than 800 stores? I should say that there is not much interest. However, the closure of stores with losses and low profits is that they need to maintain their own personalities, and employees should try to keep them.
Can you set up a separate network rental and sales department? It won't be long before DVD will usher in a new market, and even VCD can be launched now? Although VCDs have never been popular in Europe and the United States in the past, mosquitoes have small legs and meat? And it can expand the sales network to the entire North American region. Can it even be incorporated into a video-on-demand professional website in the future?
It is also conducive to the negotiation of new film rights with major studios in the future. Occupy a good position at the start-up stage.
As for the two studios in the San Fernando Valley, Jing Jian will definitely not stay. It's completely out of the way and out of line with his current reputation. It's nothing to be romantic, and it's ugly to make this kind of money.
However, this is indeed a high-quality asset and should be able to sell for a good price. Jing Jian was not moved, but there must be many people who were tempted. The San Fernando Valley even surpasses Hollywood's annual output. Therefore, there is no need to worry about selling in the market.
Thinking of this, Jing Jian ordered: "You can talk, but the following are our bottom line." $25 million, $35 million or more for a wholly-owned acquisition, of which $10 million in cash and the remaining $15 million can be added to our financing plan. But the angel round is absolutely impossible, the A round must not exceed 5 million, and the rest can be financed for the B and C rounds. ”
"Oh, Jing Shao, are you really going to promise them?" Ding Sheng was a little surprised.
Jing Jian nodded: "The time is almost there, I am ready to integrate the industry." Don't worry, you old courtiers, why don't I think about it? I can't eat the whole banquet of the Manchurian and Han Dynasty alone. ”
Although Jing Jian's answer was very vague, Ding Sheng was overjoyed.
This time in the United States, Jing Jian is indeed ready to carry out industrial integration. In addition to Seed Entertainment, some high-tech projects were split and listed. The first to bear the brunt is the Blue Star Network. Of course, it is the department of the portal that is split. Projects such as browsers, instant messaging software, and mapping software will all be divested and listed separately in the future.
There is also Standard Logistics North America, a subsidiary of Standard, which hopes to merge into FedEx in a share swap, become an individual shareholder of FedEx, and exchange a seat on the board of directors.
In fact, this is where the strategic center of gravity begins to shift to China. It is impossible to change the Chinese label on Jing Jian's body, such as the web portal, which has strong news attributes, and the express delivery industry, which has strong postal attributes, is nothing small in scale, but once it becomes significant, no country will give the citizens of competing countries to control. Sooner or later, it will take you out of business or drive you out.
In this case, it is better to take advantage of this high-tech bull market to cash in time. And no matter how much he sells in the future, he is still a major shareholder, and he still has enough influence on these companies.
Since it is ready to go public independently, it is about to start a round of financing, so who is not to give it to? The three major shareholders of Miracle Leasing are not impossible.
Jing Jian then smiled and said, "There is one more request, to negotiate a verbal gentleman's agreement with them." We can introduce them to Silicon Valley circles and even give some angel investment opportunities to other companies. But there are things that need to be done with them. That's it......"
After listening to Jing Jian's narration, Ding Sheng laughed: "Jing Shao, you are addicted to drama and want to win the Oscar?"
Jing Jian shrugged with a smile: "I'm not selling my body, and I'm really ready to attack this year's Oscars." ”
The two laughed.
In the end, Jing Jian asked about the last two pieces of the puzzle of Seed Entertainment: "What about seed games and overseas distribution networks?"
"Seed games burn money very hard, and with the amount of acquisitions, it has exceeded 60 million this year. And next year, 11 new game projects will be developed at once, and it may continue to burn money, no less than 40 million. ”
"We're going to have money right now, anyway. Jing Jian made a joke, talking about the split listing of Bluestar.com, "There are still too few profit models in the game industry, as long as you can build a good reputation and ensure that there are several good IPs, the future peripheral development is the profit point." Also, Yikai's game console is about to go on the market, which is the most important thing in front of you. ”
Ding Sheng nodded, he also understood this truth. Just like Sony's acquisition of Sony Pictures and Sony Music in the United States, these two companies are big losses, but they are of great help to the brand of Sony Electronics.
"With less than Jing, the global distribution network is very difficult, and there is no shortcut to take, so we can only spend a lot of money to solve it step by step. ”
"I see. Jing Jian nodded, "In this case, then let's go steady! We have basically established a distribution network in the Americas, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, East Asia and Southeast Asia, and the rest of the regions don't spend much money." Go find a headhunter and ask them to poach people. There's no need to spend energy here, you have to spend the money you need to spend. ”
......
After the yacht night, Ding Sheng left in a hurry. And accompanied several beauties to play for a few days, Durrington also said goodbye, and Mai Ting and Lumina also went to work.
However, at this time, the global media was suddenly attracted by a shocking hot topic: on December 25, 1991, the Soviet leader announced his resignation from the presidency of the Soviet Union, and on December 26, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the Russian Federation became the sole successor state of the Soviet Union. All property, deposits, diplomatic missions, embassies and consulates of the former Soviet Union abroad are to be received by Russia.
On Christmas Day in the West, the sickle-hammer flag fell from the sky over the Soviet Union, and what was once a formidable superpower became history. And in the West, everyone from the government to the people celebrated with great fanfare. Nona called Jing Jian on the same day and couldn't cry on the phone. I chattered over and over again for more than two hours, and my mood was quite lost.
However, in the former Soviet Union, in fact, from the government to the people, the vast majority of people ...... It's also celebrating? I don't know where the confidence comes from? Anyway, it won't be long before they can't cry.
As for these places such as China, the vast majority of people are confused. How...... Is that all it over?
Only one of the reborn has already found this result. After a few glances at the news, I stopped caring.
In fact, Jing Jian has already set the stage for himself. The new big drama is still starring us Chinese!
