Chapter 480: Talking and Laughing (The Third Subscription Requests!)
"Mr. Wu, do you have any ideas to get the singularity back?"
In the hotel suite, as soon as Wu Wen sat down, Tang An, who was sitting next to him, spoke.
Wu Wen was taken aback by these words, but he didn't expect Tang An to be such a big deal as soon as he opened his mouth.
He also thought that Tang An had taken a fancy to the copyright of something again, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that "Looking for the Dragon" had not yet been released.
From before entering the door, Wu Wen was thinking about how to sell at a high price without being too much.
If "Looking for the Dragon" is a big hit, it will at least prove that it is feasible to adapt movies from online texts, and the value of Singularity's ultra-popular IPs will naturally rise.
Wu Wen froze and laughed dryly.
"Tang Dong, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Wu founded Singularity in 02, and sold it to Shengda at a price of 15 million yuan in 04, and it has been 7 years since he joined Shengda. Tang An asked with a smile.
Tang An's words evoked Wu Wen's meeting, and he sighed slightly.
"Yes, it's been almost 10 years since Singularity was founded. ”
As the first giant in the domestic Internet industry, with the support of Shengda, Singularity can develop so rapidly. ”
Wu Wen nodded, did not refute, and waited for Tang An to continue.
But now Chen Dong's condition is still unknown, and Shengda is no longer what it used to be, and in Shengda's eyes, Singularity is only one of the heavier of its nearly ten stations, and in their eyes, Shengda literature is a whole. ”
Tang An looked at him and said seriously, "But in my opinion, those websites are not as good as a singularity, Shengda Literature has dragged down the development of Singularity, and the difference of interests between Shengda Literature and Singularity has always existed." ”
Wu Wen was silent, this matter is no secret in the entire Shengda Literature, and the contradiction between the original Singularity team led by him, the president, and the current CEO of Shengda Literature lies in this.
After being silent for a moment, Wu Wen took the initiative to speak, "Then Tang Dong is looking for me?"
"Take back your singularity. Tang An replied simply.
A lot of thoughts flashed through Wu Wen's mind in an instant, and now the contradiction between him and the CEO of Shengda Literature has not reached the point of irreconcilability, so naturally this kind of thought has not been born.
But Tang An's words made him think further.
He is just the president, the other party is the CEO, or is he parachuted from Shengda, he is a close confidant of Chen Tianqiao, and it is obvious who Shengda supports.
As for the strategy of persuading the other party to change Shengda literature, the possibility is also very small.
After Wu Wen figured it out, he looked at Tang An, and saw that his expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be talking casually, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Tang Dong, the current market value of Singularity is about 250 million US dollars. ”
"In terms of the importance of singularity to Shengda Literature, if it is to be acquired, it will need at least $3-350 million. Tang An added.
Originally, a year later, Wu Wen joined forces with several venture capital funds to buy back Singularity at a price of $400 million, and Chen Tianqiao was also willing to sell it, but directly opened a sky-high price of $700 million.
At that time, the market value of the entire Shengda Literature was only 700 million US dollars.
Almost equivalent to the market capitalization of one Berna.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows the importance of the singularity to Shengda's literature.
Wu Wen was still waiting for Tang An's plan, but Tang An shook his head, "I can't come up with 300 million US dollars." ”
Before Wu Wen could show a disappointed look, Tang An continued.
"I can raise up to $150 million, and the remaining $200 million can be used to contact other venture capital firms and funds. ”
We?
"Mr. Wu, don't say that no other venture capital institution has approached you except Shengda back then?"
As the largest station in China, Singularity did have venture capital institutions that wanted to raise funds back then.
Venture capital institutions like this kind of Internet companies in the early stage of entrepreneurship the most, especially in a new industry, the prospects may be infinite, and the investment is low, basically casting a wide net to catch more fish.
Even if you invest in 10 companies, one or two companies can develop and make money.
And now that online literature is developing faster and faster, there is no shortage of speculators who get on the bus halfway.
After all, Singularity's "Breaking the Sky" has sold nearly 100 million yuan in sales in the mobile reading base in two years from the second half of 09 to the present.
According to the ratio of 6:2:2, the website gets 20 million income from the mobile reading base, with an average of more than 10 million a year.
Coupled with the main station and other channels, the revenue is very impressive.
Tang An then carefully discussed with Wu Wen the prospects, development strategies, and development of online literature, as well as the development of full copyright.
"In addition to the singularity, 51% of the shares of the Chinese World Publishing House must also be acquired, and we must have our own publishing organization. ”
"In addition to the Singularity client, we also need to build a book city platform that can be used as a channel to collect books from other websites. Nowadays, with the popularization of smartphones and the increasing traffic of wireless terminals, the sales of mobile reading bases are no less than the sales of all websites and clients combined. ”
"Jin Qi's 50% stake should be won as much as possible, compared with these fantasy and fairy tales, romance books are more suitable for adapting film and television dramas. ”
......
One idea after another has been proposed, some of which are available now, and some of which are to be realized in the future.
Talking and laughing, it was as if the singularity had been taken down by them.
Originally, Wu Wen would be able to bring in a huge sum of 400 million US dollars through several institutions next year, and the 200 million US dollars should be assured, and Tang An will also go to several large venture capital institutions.
This time, Shengda should not have proposed such an outrageous price of 700 million US dollars, originally Shengda Literature was going to be listed at the beginning of 12 years, but because the valuation did not reach the ideal figure.
$350 million, maybe even $400 million, that's high enough.
Originally, we could wait until next year when Wu Wen's team left, and the market value of Shengda Literature shrank and the price was the most suitable, but everyone had taken refuge in Brother Ma, and it would be difficult to be eaten by Brother Ma when the time came.
It wasn't until 11 p.m. that the two people who were chatting with dry mouths separated.
At the time of separation, Tang An advised, "Mr. Wu, you must get it done before the National Day, otherwise the success of "Looking for the Dragon" may bring unnecessary resistance. ”
"I understand. Wu Wen nodded and said, "Tang Dong has a happy cooperation!"
Just now, Tang An, a layman's idea of IP, full copyright development, and the idea of the future wireless terminal made Wu Wen, a professional who has been in the online literature industry for 10 years, shine.
It was only now that he really recognized the cooperation between the two sides.
"Mr. Wu rest assured, if the acquisition is successful, I will nominate you to be the CEO of the new company, no longer a president who is constrained everywhere, and your team will also be the composition of the main senior management of the new company. ”
After sending Wu Wen away, Tang An has to worry about the 150 million US dollars again, nearly 1 billion yuan, which is not so easy to raise, and he has to smash the pot and sell iron.
The group cannot be mortgaged, and in any case, it cannot take the group mortgage until the point of exhaustion.
Although Tudou's shares are worth so much, they can't be moved.
Tang An shook his head and called Xu Yanyun.
After more than half an hour, the call ended, and Tang An left the hotel and returned to the hotel where the crew was stationed.
The filming at the Western Film and Television Base lasted for nearly 20 days, and then rushed to the Tengger Desert in Zhongwei City.
It took 10 days to finish the location scene in the desert, and on June 10, Tang An returned to the capital with the crew to shoot the last few scenes, and the movie was ready.
