Chapter 256: Acquisition of Red Beans
On May 7, "Star Wars 3" was released simultaneously around the world, with a total global box office of $130 million on the first day of release.
The box office explosion of "Star Wars 3" was both unexpected and expected, some of the classic predecessors of the first two parts were the foundation, and this one is a 3D version, so the box office explosion is not unexpected, but the box office of $130 million on the first day is still beyond the expectations of countless people.
The next day, the news of the first-day box office of "Star Wars 3" of $130 million was reported by entertainment news around the world.
Since this movie was produced by Yanhuang Film and Television, the success of this movie is also regarded as the success of Yanhuang Film and Television, and "Star Wars 3" has once again given all filmmakers a shot in the arm, they must make a 3D movie, and they will start preparations soon.
"Star Wars 3 was a big hit at the box office, people didn't think of directors or actors, only one person came to mind, his name was Qin Feng.
At the same time, please remember one company - Yanhuang Film and Television, this company will be the most dazzling company in the film industry in 2018 and even in the next few years.
From his personal studio to today's star company, Qin Feng is inseparable from him.
Therefore, Qin Feng is not only a genius director, but also a self-made business elite, and the movie tycoon Qin Feng deserves his reputation. ββChina Business Daily.
After reading this report, many netizens also remembered that Qin Feng has another identity, the boss of Yanhuang Film and Television Co., Ltd., the director's halo is too big, causing people to ignore Unconsciously, Qin Feng has become one of the Chinese film tycoons, and he is also the most influential one.
And many netizens also found that Qin Feng is not only a great director, but also very good at making money, the movies produced by Yanhuang Film and Television, so far, there is no loss-making, almost all of them are high-quality, the more you understand, the more you admire Qin Feng.
Although Qin Feng was also on the Hurun Rich List before, as soon as the limelight passed, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, after all, fans mainly watched his movies, and they didn't care much about his company, after all, people have money and nothing to do with themselves.
However, after the fire of Yanhuang Film and Television, not only netizens, but also the bosses of many companies have re-examined Yanhuang Film and Television and Qin Feng, and they thought that the gap was not so big, but now it seems that this guy is hidden deep enough, and the Hurun Rich List may only reveal part of his property.
This has also led to the fact that some company bosses who have been in a relationship with Qin Feng from time to time are even more concerned, a big guy is right in front of you, and if you don't hurry up the relationship, what do you think.
Qin Feng is also full of question marks, "Star Wars 3" is on fire, you don't go to interview the director, you don't pay attention to the movie, you all come to interview me, and you can't help but think narcissistically: It seems that I really belong to the firefly, and I am so dazzling everywhere.
Of course, Qin Feng didn't pay too much attention to these things, as soon as the time passed, no one would pay attention to them.
The film market was hot, and Qin Feng didn't pay attention to it, because he was busy with the acquisition now.
At present, Yanhuang Film and Television is acquiring the most influential online video platform in China, Hongdou.com, and the negotiations have been discussed for several months.
The idea of acquiring red beans is mainly because Qin Feng feels that although his company also has a video website, there is still a gap between it and the professional red beans that have a reputation and iron fans in the industry, so he wants to buy red beans, merge and reorganize, and create a new red bean.
Although, now that online video has become popular, and Hongdou is the earliest online video platform established in China, after so many years, it still hasn't found a suitable profit model, and the constant burning of money has also made the lack of funds, leading to the rupture of funds and seeking venture capital, so that Qin Feng has the opportunity to acquire.
In fact, a situation like Hongdou exists in the entire online video industry, and the profit model has always been the biggest stumbling block to the development of these platforms, so countless platforms go out of business every year, but everyone can see that online video is a trend of development in the future, so countless platforms are established every year.
However, there are only a few giants, red beans are one of them, and the others have been injected or acquired by some capital giants, so only red beans are left.
Professional work was handed over to professional people, and after deciding to make the acquisition, Qin Feng only made some constructive suggestions, and other specific operations were arranged by Li An.
After all, you can't really do it yourself, and on May 9, there has been significant progress in the acquisition of red beans, and the two sides will carry out final negotiations.
On the 10th, Qin Feng and Li An, together with the legal staff, had a final discussion with the team led by Chen Wei, the president of Hongdou.
Originally, Hongdou, as the earliest video website in China, should have been the first time to eat crabs, but due to the sudden emergence of several online video giants represented by Youku, Hongdou has not had a good life in recent years, plus several giants with large traffic such as Coke have obtained capital financing or acquisition, so it is even more difficult to fight for money, so the development potential of Hongdou is not much at once.
In fact, at the earliest, there were also some capital giants who wanted to buy red beans, but due to Chen Wei's overconfidence, they finally lost to reality.
When Chen Wei received the acquisition offer of Yanhuang Film and Television, he didn't care about it, but with a deeper understanding, he felt more and more incredible, especially Qin Feng, the founder of this company.
After both sides arrived, Qin Feng opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Chen, to make a long story short, the conversation between the two of us has not been a day or two, I came here today to represent Yan Huang to testify about the acquisition of red beans and ask for your opinion, what do you think of the conditions we offer? Or what kind of conditions do you have to say." β
Li An and Hongdou have also been in contact for a long time, and both sides understand each other, Qin Feng felt that he couldn't drag it out any longer, so he came forward in person today.
And Chen Wei came over today, and he also had the intention of cooperating, otherwise he would have refused directly.
"Qin Dong, I myself also hope to cooperate with you, but you also know that Hongdou.com was created by me with great effort after all, just like my child, seeing that the child is about to grow up, but because I can't afford it, I want to sell it to others, and my feelings are also very complicated.
So can I hear some of your thoughts on the acquisition of Hongdou, or do you think there are still prospects for online video sites?" Chen Wei looked at Qin Feng and said.
In fact, Chen Wei just wanted to try whether Qin Feng really bought red beans, after all, as he said, red beans have been developed for so long, and he also wants red beans to develop and grow, instead of disappearing in the long river of history.
"Mr. Chen, rest assured, I can understand your feelings for red beans, just as I do for Yanhuang Film and Television. You have also come to our company many times, and you have also seen one of our corporate culture and entrepreneurial spirit. Qin Feng asked.
"Yes, I see it: it's a gathering place for dreams, it's a dream factory.
You are all the stars of tomorrow, we are all dreamers, we will eventually soar all over the world and realize your and my dreams - the home of dreams, Yanhuang Film and Television. I believe that under the leadership of Qin Dong, Yanhuang Film and Television will develop into a great company. Chen Wei replied.
He is still very optimistic about the development prospects of Yanhuang Film and Television, or he is very optimistic about Qin Feng, in just a few years, he has developed a small studio into today's scale, I have to say that he is also very envious of Qin Feng.
In fact, this will give you a better understanding of a dream factory, he is inseparable from publicity and broadcast channels.
Therefore, the network will become the most important and largest broadcast channel in the future, so I hope to acquire Hongdou and create another strong thigh for the company's film and television works.
Moreover, I have a series of plans for the video website, and eventually I will build Hongdou into an Internet TV station, and the TV station will have Hongdou.
Moreover, the development potential of the Internet is very large, so the future prospects of online video are still very broad, and even the real TV stations will be eliminated after many years........." Qin Feng said, and at the same time, Chen Wei was brainwashed and drew a big cake.
Even Ang Lee, who was on the side, felt that Qin Feng was blowing a little too much, but he didn't agree with him unconditionally and follow him like this, and only then did he witness the development of a studio into an industry giant in just a few years, so although Ang Lee felt that what Qin Feng said was a little unrealistic, he felt that maybe it could really be realized.
And Chen Wei's team didn't expect Qin Feng to be so optimistic about online video websites, and couldn't help but think about whether selling red beans was a correct choice, but then shook his head, people have this ability, maybe they really develop red beans like that, and they don't have that ability.
That's the awesome thing about being a born-against, you know what a big trend is in the future, and maybe someone else has thought of it or even taken action.
But he can't see the future, so he may be self-denying in the face of some small setbacks.
And at this time, you use his achievements to set off your great vision, which becomes a genius in his eyes. Because only geniuses can think about what others think and what they have not thought of, this is the charm of the development of the times.
If Qin Feng said this to Chen Wei more than ten years later, he would be driven out of the door directly.
But now, the entire online video website is just learning to climb, but they don't know how to stand up, how to walk, or even run, so everyone is very surprised by the big cake drawn by Qin Feng.
"Qin Dong, can what you said really come true? Can video websites really be like TV stations? Are the future development prospects really so great? Are you so optimistic about the future of Internet video websites?" Chen Wei asked.
"Of course, I'm very bullish. In fact, we are also working on it ourselves, but after all, the online time is too short, so the traffic is not as huge as your several old video sites, so I want to acquire and merge, and you have the most professional talents, plus my ideas and funds, the development prospects must be very broad.
And if I'm not optimistic, we won't waste so much time talking to you, after all, there are still a lot of affairs in Yanhuang Film and Television.
If I am not optimistic, you will not see me today, and there will be no today's negotiation, and Mr. Chen, you should know that the number of netizens in China is now as high as 700 million, plus mobile customers with greater development potential and faster and faster Internet speed, do you think it can't be realized?
And then the profit model, I also have several, so a video website that has achieved profitability and has such great development potential, do you think it can't be realized?
So to sum up, I am very optimistic about video websites, and five of the top ten richest people on the Hurun rich list are engaged in the Internet industry, so I am also very confident in the entire Internet economy. Qin Feng said.
Regarding the prospects depicted by Qin Feng, Chen Wei seemed to see that it could be realized tomorrow, so the more he went deeper, the more he admired Qin Feng.
"Qin Dong, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, you are really as everyone said, not only a director wizard, but also a business wizard, I admire it very much, and I am very much looking forward to our cooperation. Chen Wei said with a smile.
Subsequently, the people in Chen Wei's team made eye contact, and then made a decision.
"I believe that Mr. Chen will not regret the decision made today, and our cooperation is also the wisest cooperation. Qin Feng also replied with a smile.
In the end, the two parties signed a contract under the witness of the lawyer, specifically Qin Feng will inject 2 billion yuan and occupy 90% of the absolute controlling stake in Hongdou.
The remaining 10% is owned by Chen Wei and his team, and the reason why he changed to keep 10% for them instead of a wholly-owned acquisition is because he wants Chen Wei to continue to serve as the CEO of Hongdou, and at the same time, Hongdou's original outstanding employees can stay, and if they want to stay, they must first retain the boss, after all, professional things must be done by professionals.
In the end, Chen Wei agreed to stay in office, and then renamed Hongdou as Tudou Video Website, after all, the new company must have a new atmosphere.
Subsequently, after signing the contract, Qin Feng and Chen Wei continued to talk for a while, Chen Wei was completely convinced at this time, and the little resentment in his heart about Qin Feng's renaming of red beans was gone: "Qin Dong, after listening to your plan, I am now very confident."
In less than a year, Tudou Video will definitely become the first in the industry, and I can't wait to get to work right away. β
Qin Feng said with a smile: "It's good to be motivated, but you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step."
First of all, first reorganize the company, everything is ready, and then take it step by step......"
After all, although the contract was signed, there were still a lot of things to do in the future, so Qin Feng also cooled down Chen Wei, who was a little upset, and asked him to deal with the matter in front of him first.
Later, after giving Chen Wei some explanations, he asked him to get busy.
