Chapter 805: What do you see me doing?
At the time of the A round of financing, the valuation of Kuaiyin Technology was 2 billion, and now it has increased more than tenfold.
Therefore, in the case of this Series B financing, things are not so simple, in addition to the inflated market value needs to be accurately estimated, it is also necessary to balance the interests of all parties.
There is more than one industry predator staring at the B round of Kuaiyin Technology, and the IT giants that have been tentatively contacted include Feixun, Kuaigou, Xinshi and other large groups.
In such a situation, Kuaiyin Technology needs to set up a professional team to operate, so as not to damage its own interests, and lay the foundation for future listing.
Regarding Nie Xiaoqian's opinions, Luo Kai agreed very much.
"You're all rich..."
Li Mengru said enviously: "It's a pity that I didn't have the money to invest at that time, and I missed hundreds of millions!"
Among the few people in the office, Luo Kai holds 70% of the shares of Kuaiyin Technology through overseas companies, Mo Lan currently holds 7%, Nie Xiaoqian holds 3%, and when the A round of financing was held, Li Mengru actually had the opportunity to enter the market, but her funds were used for the career development of Dream Media, so she missed it a few times.
Looking back now, I really regret it, even if I take a 1% share, it is worth at least hundreds of millions now.
Luo Kai smiled: "Sister Mengru, it's not too late for you to regret it now, I can give you some shares, how about 20% off the B round of valuation?"
In terms of business, Luo Kai's approach is not much different from sending money directly to Li Mengru, and it is even better to send money directly, because if the current momentum continues to develop, the market value of Kuaiyin Technology will continue to rise, and once it is listed, it will be even more incredible.
A qualified businessman would not do this unless Li Mengru could bring greater benefits.
But Luo Kai didn't want to be a qualified businessman.
For him now, family, friends, affection, love, and friendship are far more important than money and interests.
"You're so generous..."
Li Mengru sighed and said, "I was almost tempted by you, but it's better to save it, it's enough for me to take care of Xingmeng's stall, don't be greedy." ”
Luo Kai is not bad for money, Li Mengru is not greedy for money, not to mention anything else, just on the project "Across the Seas", she and Dream Media have made a lot of money.
Luo Kai laughed at this, and the topic changed to the next one.
DreamWorks Pictures' first project was a huge success, "Across the Seas" won nearly 2.7 billion at the box office, and the profit after the sale of the rights was amazing.
So much money must not be stored in the bank to eat interest, and the shelves of DreamWorks have been erected, and a lot of talents have been absorbed through recruitment, and it is impossible to sit idle in the office and eat for money.
At present, DreamWorks Pictures has seven departments, including the Administration Department, the Planning and Creative Department, the Marketing Department, the Film and Television Production Department, the Human Resources Department, the Finance Department and the Legal Department, with nearly 100 employees.
Therefore, it is imperative to carry out the next project, which should have started a month or two ago, but because Luo Kai, the backbone, is free, the progress has been greatly delayed.
At present, the company's planning and creative department has received a number of scripts, and is also working with the marketing department to explore new IP resources, but there are no good results for the time being. ”
Li Mengru rubbed her brows and spit out bitterness: "Good scripts are really hard to buy, those with potential are stared at, and the prices of popular IPs are very high, all to an outrageous extent." ”
There are two main sources of scripts for film and television dramas, on the one hand, they are original works by professional screenwriters, and on the other hand, they are popular adaptations.
How many screenwriters are in the mixed film and television industry, I'm afraid no one can answer this question accurately, because in addition to professional screenwriters, there are also a large number of amateur screenwriters, and the number of script submissions received by major film and television companies every year is actually very large.
But good scripts are also scarce, and those famous screenwriters in the industry are the objects sought after by film and television companies, often with their own belongings, and DreamWorks Pictures has much of a difference in this regard.
As for the popular IP, the hype is very strong, and DreamWorks Pictures is not unable to afford the money, but the question of whether it is worth it or not, and it does not dare to make a rash move.
Some time ago, Li Mengru personally contacted a best-selling author and wanted to buy the copyright of the other party's new work, but was scared back by the other party's offer.
"I want 20 million when I open my mouth..."
She said indignantly: "And she has to share the box office, I really don't know who gave her courage!"
Liang Jingru?
Luo Kai thought silently in his heart, but no one in his own world could understand this stalk.
"So..."
Li Mengru stared at Luo Kai, with a hot look in her eyes: "It's up to you now, the project of "North African Evacuation" must be won!"
The future development of DreamWorks cannot, of course, rely on Luo Kai alone, such as the problem of scripts, which can be solved by cultivating his own screenwriting talents and constantly tapping potential IPs, but for now, it really can't be without Luo Kai.
"North African Evacuee", a film adaptation of documentary literature, is undoubtedly a big opportunity for DreamWorks Pictures, and if it can successfully participate, it will be of great help to the company to gain a foothold in the circle.
"It's not up to me to decide..."
Luo Kai spread his hands and said: "I have already handed over the adapted script to China Film, I don't know if I can pass their review, and it's useless for you to force me." ”
During the month in Haicheng, in addition to accompanying and taking care of Xia Ying, Luo Kai also completed the adaptation of "Decisive 100 Hours!-2016 North African Evacuation Operation", and the written script was submitted to China Film by Mo Lan three days ago.
China Film, Hongqi and Jiandun jointly organized a script review team to review the scripts and project proposals submitted by various companies, and this process will definitely take some time, so the final results will be revealed in a few days.
Of course, Li Mengru is very clear, but her focus is on after the review of China Film is completed: "I believe that your script will definitely work, but passing the script does not mean that you will be eligible to participate, so you still have to work hard, DreamWorks is yours and not mine." ”
Luo Kai was confused: "In terms of Zhongying and Jiandun, your relationship is stronger than mine, right?"
"The key is the red flag..."
Li Mengru said with a smile: "Hongqi is the leader of the project. ”
Mo Lanjiao, who had been sitting quietly next to Luo Kai, said angrily: "Sister Mengru, what do you think I am doing?"
Luo Kai instantly understood, and immediately cried and laughed.
