Chapter 377: Hearing the Wind and Moving

Just as Wang Changtian overestimated his desire for profit, it is very unfortunate that he also overestimated the extent to which Molong's side could keep its so-called 'promise'.

Although Li Mo swore in front of Wang Changtian that on the basis of the happy cooperation between the two parties in the past, he would block the news of the intention to sell the copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad" within five days, so that Guanglu Media had enough time to consider whether to buy it first......

But in fact, only on the third day after Wang Changtian's visit to the headquarters of Molong Media, there was a piece of exciting news circulating among the senior management of major media companies in the imperial capital - one of the relevant stakeholders of the variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad" is facing certain financial pressure because the company's investment stall is too large, so it intends to transfer the relevant rights and interests in the interface......

For a while, everyone was speculating, what is the identity of that legendary 'stakeholder'?

The first to be excluded was Shonan Satellite TV.

The reason is simple - in the land of the Celestial Empire, there are no private television stations.

All television stations are state-owned.

What's more, it's a provincial satellite TV.

Besides, Shonan Satellite TV is doing well now, and it is faintly the vanguard of provincial satellite TV in China, and it can't be it if anyone is short of money......

The next to be excluded was Optical Path Media.

Unlike Shonan Satellite TV, Guanglu Media paid a certain price to finally clear the message of lack of funds......

Who calls them public companies......

Shortage of funds for listed companies?

Could it be that where he failed to invest and made a big hole?

What if it goes bankrupt?

No, I have to sell the stocks in my hand quickly, it's not easy for labor and management to work hard to make some money, but I can't let people cut them as leeks......

…… Facts have proved that there are definitely not a few shareholders who hold such ideas.

In just half a trading day, Guanglu Media's stock fell 3% amid a wave of selling by many investors......

If it weren't for Wang Changtian coming forward to open up the rumors and promising that the company would release relevant information about the second season of the variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad" in recent days, I am afraid that the final decline would definitely be more than that......

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Changtian had to urgently suspend the idea of transferring the company's liquidity to pay the copyright fee, and began to discuss with Li Xiaoping to see if the conditions proposed by Molong Media could be met through other methods.

When the relevant stakeholders on the bright side were excluded one by one, another shocking news broke out - it turned out that the copyright of the program "Where Are You Going, Dad" is not in the hands of Guanglu Media and Xiangnan Satellite TV, but is exclusively held by Molong Media, and Guanglu and Xiangnan Satellite TV are just their partners.

At this time, everyone found out that Molong Media seemed to be really in line with the 'stall spread too big.' Tight cash flows'.

First of all, Mo Long's directorial ace, Li Mo's movie "Happy Death Day", has just been completed and edited, and it is the time when money is needed for publicity and distribution;

Secondly, they also invested in the work "Beijing Meets Seattle" directed by Xue Xiaolu, I heard that it has been tossed around in North America for several months, and it seems that it has not yet been completed, no matter how you look at it, this money seems to be stuck;

What's even more outrageous is that they also invested in CTI Media's TV series "Shanshan is Coming", and also established a new company called Noon Sunshine with Hou Hongliang's team, which is said to be filming a costume drama.

According to the conventional impression of the industry, costume dramas mean high costs, no advertising, and high financial pressure......

Even if the three movies produced by Molong after its establishment have achieved good results, they can't bear such a fire, right?

And, according to 'reliable' grapevine, it seems that they are also interested in forming their own animation production department......

This kind of play, Molong Media has been able to hold on until now before it is reported that the funds are under pressure, which is already a manifestation of the company's strong profitability.

At this time, Li Mo stopped showing up directly.

Because Zong Shuai is the general manager of the company, he has to work at the office of the imperial capital company, so he has no way to hide.

"Mr. Zong, now there is news that Molong Media's capital flow is somewhat tight, can you talk about what is going on?" a reporter stopped Zong Shuai directly downstairs in Molong Media's office and asked.

"I'm sorry, our Molong is not a listed company at present, so I have nothing to say about the company's capital flow, the only thing I can be sure of is that there is no problem with our Molong's operation, please let me go, I still have work to deal with, and I am out of company." ”

Zong Shuai really deserves to be a professional manager, and he also served as the general manager of the joint meeting of brokers in Wang's Group, and he answered questions without leaking......

Unfortunately, for most journalists, it doesn't matter what the interviewee says when they answer the question, what matters is how they interpret it when they get back.

It didn't take long for a report titled "The General Manager Flickered, Molong Media May Face a Crisis of Capital Chain Rupture" appeared in major media.

All in all, the more Zong Shuai denied it, the more everyone believed that there was a problem with Mo Long's funds.

In the end, no one cares what problem Mo Long has encountered, everyone only wants to know one thing - what price are you going to sell the copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad"!

…………

"150 million! That's the lowest psychological price I have for the copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad?" If Guanglu Media can come up with what I want, then their bid is a little lower, which is acceptable. ”

In the general manager's office of Molong Media, Li Mo stood by the window and looked at the reporters who came downstairs to interview, and replied leisurely.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the broadcast rights of the TV platform for the first season of "Where Are You Going, Dad" are obviously sold cheaply, and now everyone has a psychological expectation for the future income of this show, even Shonan Satellite TV, which took advantage of this time, is also very aware of this, otherwise they would not have secretly sent someone to the imperial capital to directly contact us to buy the copyright. ”

"Xiaomo, could it be that you have changed your mind now and plan to sell the copyright to Shonan Satellite TV?"

Although he said those ambiguous words in order to cooperate with Li Mo's actions, Zong Shuai didn't understand until now what Li Mo's intention was to suddenly go back on his word and use other channels to release news.

It stands to reason that if it is simply intended to be sold at a good price, then the bid of Shonan Satellite TV has actually reached the price that Li Mo said just now.

That's 150 million.

As the person in charge who went to South Korea and directly handled the copyright transaction, Zong Shuai knew very well that Mo Long only spent 15 million yuan to get the copyright of the show "Where Are You Going, Dad" for 20 years.

Now it's ten times the profit when it changes hands, which is a huge profit.

But Li Mo's previous instructions to him were to drag Shonan Satellite TV as much as possible, and if necessary, he could consider signing an agreement with them in advance to produce a variety reality show with them in the future, but he would never sell them the copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad".

If it weren't for the tacit understanding with Li Mo, knowing that he would have a deep meaning in doing this, Zong Shuai would have wanted to scold his mother.

How can anyone see money and not make money?

"No, Brother Zong, my decision has not changed, the copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad" will not be sold to Shonan Satellite TV," Li Mo turned around, walked to the chair opposite Zong Shuai and sat down, and said word by word: "From beginning to end, I have only one goal, that is, Guanglu Media." ”

"Xiaomo, you ...... Are you a little too careful? Although the big old man did not do it authentically this time, he is also just a businessman in business, so we don't need to place too high hopes on him. ”

Zong Shuai opened his mouth to persuade.

"Brother Zong, where do you want to go? Am I like the kind of person who will repay me? I didn't attack them because Wang Changtian planned to cross the river and demolish the bridge this time," Li Mo waved his hand meaninglessly, "It is completely out of consideration at the company level for them, because they have the 'opportunity' that we need in the future layout of Molong." ”

"But we can't reveal our intentions just yet, then...... The only way to do this is to let them deliver it themselves!"

"It's that simple?" Zong Shuai still didn't seem to believe it.

"Okay, let's get them a little more ......"
