China can't produce real media giants, whether it is the envy of private enterprises, Southern Media, or Focus Media, they can't afford to be a "media giant".

Only big groups such as News Corporation, Time Warner, Viacom, Bertelsmann, Disney, etc., can really be called media giants.

News Corp's television stations deliver news and television programs 24 hours a day to audiences in more than 70 countries and territories around the world, with 40 percent of North American broadcasters broadcasting on them.

It also has the world's largest circulation of English-language newspapers, controlling 40% of newspapers in the UK and 60% of newspapers in Australia, as well as a large number of news websites.

Europe, Asia, China, News Corporation's TV stations can be covered.

Other giants are similar, the awesome ones can radiate the whole world, and the almost ones can cover the whole United States.

Television stations, publishing magazines, radio, newspapers, film and television entertainment......

The rest is easy to do in China, but the TV station can't get it, and there is no way to do it.

In the Internet era, even the TV client on a smart TV can't be compared with a TV station, let alone replaced.

Not to mention that you can't win a TV station, even if it's other portals and Weibo, it's not very free.

Every time something sensitive happens, the state will take action, order all websites, media, and delete all discordant things.

For example, last year, the simple and cute Winnie the Pooh, whose name became a sensitive word in many places, and all the posts of Winnie and Tigger's Bar were deleted.

Even Winnie the Pooh was > by Weibo

Private individuals cannot control public opinion!

However, Tang An is still far from that step, and now Hantang Media only has three or four medium-sized publishing houses, and has invested in some local portal life websites and local newspapers.

......

After solving one thing after another, Wu Feng finally reported on the situation of some companies in which the group participated in the investment.

The C round of financing of Hantang Cinema has not yet begun, and the previous B round has raised 300 million, plus the revenue of its theaters, which is enough to support expansion.

The cinema chain is mainly divided into two parts, and nearly 20% of the franchised cinemas have to go through strict qualification review.

In addition, 80% of the directly operated cinemas are also divided into two parts, one part is the prosperous area of the first and second-tier cities, most of these cinemas are in cooperation with major supermarket malls, or with the two major real estate companies of Poly and Huayan, all of which are high-quality assets.

Third-tier cities, as well as the county seats, were not very competitive at first, and the areas where they were located were commercial centers with a large flow of people.

Although the average single-screen box office in the country is currently declining, the Hantang Cinema Line still maintains steady growth.

There are a total of 190 directly operated and franchised theaters in the country, 40 more than Wanda's 150, but most of Wanda are luxury cinemas, and each of them can be regarded as a flagship store in an ordinary theater chain, which cannot be compared.

Last year, the total box office of Hantang Cinema reached 1.2 billion, ranking sixth in the country and in the second echelon. The status of the three major theaters of Wanda, Xingmei and United cannot be shaken for the time being.

The operation is good, the valuation has climbed to 4.3 billion, and the group holds 82.1% of the shares, with an absolute controlling stake.

Zhihu Forum's Series B financing is under negotiation and is expected to be raised at a valuation of $200 million, compared to the $75 million valuation of Series A.

SoftBank Wealth will participate in the B round of financing, and the two will share $20 million of the $25 million share.

The group expects to invest US$10 million, increasing from 8% to 11.56%.

Toutiao is the fastest-growing, with a valuation of $500 million, and its Series B financing was completed in September last year.

This Series C financing is also a large amount, directly raising $100 million.

Hantang Media did not participate too much in the B round of financing, and with the participation of Sequoia and Weibo in this round C, it will be able to get a share of 20 million US dollars, and the share will reach 19.17% after the completion of financing.

Nuomi.com's $80 million didn't take long, mainly because Nuomi.com acquired a third-party payment license, and it was a payment company with a mature and complete business, spending 150 million.

This price is not high, and the highest payment license transaction is as high as 3 billion.

Financing must be required before the summer, and the summer vacation is a money-burning war.

After Nuomi.com burned the money, it should be valued at about $1.3 billion when it raises money before the summer, and Meituan is seeking financing at a valuation of $4 billion, which includes Maoyan Films, and Meituan has not yet divested it.

Financing 200 million US dollars, diluted and 73.87% of the shares.

Ele.me's valuation has also surged to $400 million, and it is expected to raise $80 million before the summer, Dianping and Sequoia Capital will join, and Hantang Media can be almost as insured as a 13.8% stake, after all, Nuomi.com is the main one.

Didi's C round of financing has also opened negotiations, and it will raise $100 million at a valuation of $800 million, with the participation of CITIC Fund and Tengxun, and Hantang Media can get a share of $10 million at most, but it can still maintain 32.52% of the shares by relying on the shares won in the previous angel round.

However, the taxi software has not yet begun to exert its strength, and at the end of this year, it will once again raise nearly one billion US dollars, and quickly carry out share exchange mergers and acquisitions, and then there will be no half of the shares left.

In addition, Weibo has an 8% stake, Weibo has submitted an IPO application to the NASDAQ, and various financial experts and professors have revalued Weibo, and the one that is not optimistic is four or five billion dollars, and the one who is optimistic is seven or eight billion dollars.

Tudou Group, which has a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, is still in the red, with a 34.7% stake.

The valuation of Han and Tang literature reached 21 billion yuan, and the group has a 62.06% share.

Xiaomi has a 1.4232% stake and is valued at nearly $10 billion.

In addition to these companies, the Ministry of Investment and Development has also taken out a large list, and after various studies and market investigations, more than 30 companies with relatively good prospects have been listed.

DJI Technology, which makes aircraft, Kingsoft Cloud and Qingyun of cloud computing, UBTECH and Mobvoi of artificial intelligence, and Zhubajie.com and Liepin.com, which serve enterprises......

In this, Tang An saw a lot of familiar figures.

Chen Shaojie incubated Funny Fish TV on the basis of Station A, and is seeking angel round investment, as well as Station B, which has just promoted "The Return of the Great Sage".

There are more than 30 companies, covering almost all industries, and many Tang An have never heard of it.

Tang An roughly calculated in his heart the industries that he has invested in so far, plus the three companies of Tiantian Listening, Sogou, NC, Tiangong Yicai, and Mi Guo, etc., to say the least, there are 40 billion.

This is not counting the film and television aspect, how can the valuation of Hantang Pictures, which was merged into Nuomi Films, also have a valuation of 15 billion, and the group has 92.13% of the shares, and it is about to carry out the next round of financing.

Tudou Pictures merged into the variety show division, with a valuation of 3 billion, and the group also has more than 90% of the shares.

It also has more than a dozen film and television companies, including the acquired Forbidden City Pictures, Beijing Culture, and Wuzhou Distribution, etc., with a total of 6 billion.

That's nearly 23 billion.

Not counting the group itself, it already has assets of 63 billion.

At present, the number one film and television stock is Huayi, with a market value of 40 billion, this data must be inflated, and it can swell to 80 billion within two years.

Hantang Group is calculated according to the market value of 40 billion, and Tang An's personal assets will exceed 100 billion.

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, even Tang An himself didn't expect that his net worth has reached 100 billion!

However, the meeting was in progress, and Tang An didn't have time to sigh, Wu Feng was still waiting for Tang An's reply.

Tang An looked at the long list of company names, as well as the detailed analysis below, and didn't think much about it.

"DJI, Kingsoft Cloud, Qingyun, Funny Fish... These companies are focused, and other companies, with an investment of less than 5 million, are all invested, and further investigation and analysis will be conducted if the amount exceeds the amount, and if the prospect is considerable, you can participate."

Although Hantang Media is not as good as BAT and does not have so much traffic, film and television dramas are also a good way to spread fame, plus there is money, I don't know how many people are looking for investment.

Investment is to cast a wide net to catch more fish, although Tang An doesn't know about half of the companies, but for these companies that are close to the unicorn level, Tang An also believes in Wu Feng's vision.

The big deal is to lose two or three hundred million, compared to the super high return, this risk is nothing.

"Okay Tang Dong. ”

Wu Feng nodded in response, these companies were all found by him with nearly 100 people in the department, as well as hundreds of people from the subordinate data collection and investigation company, after half a year.

However, Wang Wei, the chief financial officer, spoke, "Dong Tang, at present, the company has less than 100 million cash left in its books, and these investments add up to about five or six billion, and the merger and acquisition of Besitong and Oriental Pearl may be completed at any time, and the other party will carry out financing on a scale of 10 billion, and we need to prepare at least about 3 billion in cash." ”

"There is also the acquisition of local life portals and print media, and I will give you a quota of 2 billion this year. ”

Tang An added, turned his head to the secretary who was sitting on the side and instructed, "Zhou Li, make an appointment with President Zhang for me, just for these two days." ”

This investment is necessary, even if you can't control public opinion, you must have the ability to guide and disperse public opinion!

Money has to be spent in large sums of money, and money makes money the last word.

Anyway, the bank's interest is nothing compared to the income, and the interest is only as much as a loan of five or six billion yuan a year.

After the merger of Besitong and Oriental Pearl, it will have a market value of 156 billion yuan as soon as it is reviewed, which is double the market value of about 70 billion yuan combined by the two companies.

Although there is a 12-month lifting period, there is no need to worry about the market value of the new Oriental Pearl for more than two years, just withdraw between crashes.

And even if the stock price does not rise, just as a shareholder and the cooperation with the Besitong license, the authorization and dividend fees can also be negotiated at a lower price, compared with other content parties, the money saved is very objective.

Besides,The country's action to crack down on piracy TV is about to begin,Get the authorization of the license as soon as possible,Take advantage of the fact that the TV versions of other video websites are all offline,The most important thing is to occupy the market as soon as possible。

A loan of five or six billion yuan is nothing, and later Guangxian has borrowed so much in the form of financing.

There are so many things to deal with in a conference that runs from morning to afternoon.

In the afternoon, he also held a video conference with several major subsidiaries of Hantang Pictures, Nuomi.com, Hantang Literature, and Tudou Group.

As for the four major film and television companies such as Zhou Shiwei, Liu Yan, Chang Jihong, and Zhou Jia, Tang An doesn't have time to take care of so much, even if they are worth billions of dollars for the group, it doesn't matter much.

Tang An, a few major subsidiaries, did not interfere in the operation, but just listened to their reports and put forward some suggestions on the general direction.

.......

PS: Mom, the protagonist has hundreds of billions of assets so soon, and I don't think it's written and written, but when I add it up, I find out that the progress is too fast, and it's not easy to make it up later.......

The unreasonable part of the commercial part is not sprayed, and the author himself is a business novice......
