Chapter 68 Acquisitions

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 with the participation of Dragon Special Effects, the success of this movie is also regarded as the success of Dragon Special Effects, 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 preparing immediately.

"Star Wars 3 was a big hit at the box office, people didn't think of directors or actors, they only thought of one person, his name is Chen Yongren.

At the same time, please remember one company - Longteng Special Effects Technology Co., Ltd., this company will be the most dazzling company in the film industry in 2008 and even in the next few years.

According to unreliable gossip statistics, Longteng Special Effects Technology Co., Ltd. has a liquidity of billions and a valuation of nearly 10 billion RMBB, and it is also a unicorn of a film company.

From the special effects studio under Longteng Film and Television Company to today's star company, Chen Yongren is inseparable from it.

Therefore, Chen Yongren is not only a genius director, but also a self-made business elite, and the movie tycoon Chen Yongren is worthy of his name!"

After reading this report, many netizens also remembered that Chen Yongren has another identity, the boss of Longteng Film and Television Co., Ltd., the director's halo is too big, causing people to ignore that unconsciously Chen Yongren has become one of the Chinese film tycoons, and he is also the most influential one.

And many netizens also found that Chen Yongren is not only a great director, but also very good at making money, and the movies produced by Longteng Film and Television have not been loss-making so far, almost all of them are high-quality, and the more they understand, the more they admire Chen Yongren.

Although Chen Yongren 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 Longteng Special Effects Technology Co., Ltd., not only netizens, but also the bosses of many companies have re-examined Longteng Film and Television and Chen Yongren, 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 wealth.

This has also led to the fact that some company bosses who have been in a relationship with Chen Yongren from time to time are even more concerned, and a big guy is right in front of you, so if you don't hurry up and pull the relationship, what do you think.

Chen Yongren is also full of question marks, "Star Wars 3" is on fire, you don't go to interview the director, don't pay attention to the movie, you all come to interview me, and can't help but narcissistically think: It seems that I really belong to the firefly, and I am so dazzling everywhere.

However, Chen Yongren didn't pay too much attention to these things, as soon as the time passed and the heat came down, naturally no one paid attention to them.

The film market is hot, and Chen Yongren didn't pay attention to it, because he was now busy with acquisitions.

At present, Longteng Film and Television is acquiring the most influential online video platform in China, Tudou.com, and the negotiations have been discussed for several months.

The idea of acquiring potatoes is mainly because Chen Yongren feels that although his company also has a video website, there is still a gap between it and potatoes, which are professional and have a reputation and iron fans in the industry, so he wants to buy potatoes, merge and reorganize, and create a new potato.

Although online video has become popular now, and Tudou, as the earliest online video platform established in China, has not found a suitable profit model for so many years, and has been burning money to make the capital scarce, resulting in the rupture of funds and seeking venture capital, so that Chen Yongren has the opportunity to acquire.

In fact, a situation like Tudou 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 fail 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, and potatoes are one of them, and the others have been injected or acquired by some capital giants, so only potatoes are left.

After deciding to acquire, Chen Yongren only made some constructive suggestions, and other specific operations were arranged by Wang Yu.

After all, you can't really do it yourself, and on May 9, there has been significant progress in the acquisition of potatoes, and the two sides will carry out final negotiations.

On the 10th, Chen Yongren and Wang Yu, together with the legal staff, had a final discussion with the team led by Wang Wei, the president of Tudou.

Originally, Tudou, 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, Tudou has not had a good time in recent years, plus Youku and other giants with large traffic have obtained capital financing or acquisition, so it is even more difficult to fight for money, so the development potential of Tudou is not much at once.

In fact, at the earliest time, there were also some capital giants who wanted to buy potatoes, but due to Wang Wei's excessive self-confidence, they finally lost to reality.

When Wang Wei received the acquisition offer of Longteng Film and Television, he didn't care, but with a deeper understanding, he felt more and more incredible, especially Chen Yongren, the founder of this company.

After both parties arrived, Chen Yongren said: "Mr. Wang, to make a long story short, the conversation between our two sides is not a day or two, I came here today to represent Longteng's acquisition of potatoes to ask for your opinion, what do you think of the conditions we offered? Or what other conditions you can say." ”

Wang Yu and Tudou have been in contact for a long time, and both sides understand each other, Chen Yongren feels that he can't drag it out any longer, so he will come forward in person today.

And Wang Wei came over today, and he also had the intention of cooperating, otherwise he would have refused directly.

"Chen Dong, I also hope to cooperate with you, but you also know that Tudou was created by me 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 potatoes, or do you think there is still a future for online video sites?" Wang Wei said, looking at Chen Yongren.

In fact, Wang Wei just wanted to try whether Chen Yongren really bought potatoes, after all, as he said, potatoes have been developed for so long, and he also wants potatoes to develop and grow, rather than disappear in the long river of history.

"Mr. Wang, rest assured, I can understand your feelings for potatoes, just as I do for Longteng 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. Chen Yongren 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, Longteng Film and Television. I believe that under the leadership of Chairman Chen, Longteng Film and Television will develop into a great company. Wang Wei replied.

He is still very optimistic about the development prospects of Longteng Film and Television, or he is very optimistic about Chen Yongren, who has developed a small studio into today's scale in just a few years, and I have to say that he is also very envious of Chen Yongren.

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 Tudou 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 Tudou into an Internet TV station, and the TV station will have Tudou.

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........." Chen Yongren said, and at the same time, Wang Wei was brainwashed and drew a big cake.

Even Wang Yu on the side felt that Chen Yongren was blowing a little too much, but he didn't agree with him unconditionally and follow him like this, and only witnessed the development of a studio into an industry giant in a few years, so although Wang Yu felt that what Chen Yongren said was a little unrealistic, he felt that maybe it could really be realized.

And Wang Wei's team didn't expect Chen Yongren to be so optimistic about the online video website, and couldn't help but think about whether selling potatoes was a correct choice, but then shook his head, people have the ability to really develop potatoes 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 Chen Yongren said this to Wang 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 a big pie drawn by Chen Yongren.

"Chen Dong, can what you said really come true? Can video websites really be like TV stations? Are the prospects for future development really so great? Are you so optimistic about the future of Internet video websites?" Wang 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 a few of you, 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, I won't let the general manager of our company waste so much time talking to you, after all, there are still a lot of affairs in Longteng Film and Television.

If I am not optimistic, you will not see me today, and there will be no today's negotiation, and Mr. Wang, you should know that the number of Internet users 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. Chen Yongren said.

Regarding the prospects depicted by Chen Yongren, Wang Wei seems to see that it can be realized tomorrow, so the more he understands it, the more he admires Chen Yongren.

"Director Chen, 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. Wang Wei said with a smile.

Subsequently, the people of Wang Wei's team made eye contact, and then made a decision.

"I believe that Mr. Wang will not regret the decision made today, and our cooperation is also the wisest cooperation. Chen Yongren also replied with a smile.

In the end, the two parties signed a contract under the witness of the lawyer, specifically Chen Yongren will inject 500 million RNB and occupy 90% of the absolute controlling stake in Tudou.

The remaining 10% is owned by Wang 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 Wang Wei to continue to serve as the CEO of Tudou, and at the same time, Tudou'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, Wang Wei agreed to stay in office, and then changed the name of Tudou to Tomato Video Website, after all, the new company must have a new atmosphere.

Subsequently, after signing the contract, Chen Yongren and Wang Wei continued to talk for a while, Wang Wei was completely convinced, and the little resentment in his heart about Chen Yongren's changing the name of the potatoes was gone: "Chen Dong, after listening to your plan, I am now very confident." In less than a year, Tomato Video will definitely become the first in the industry, and I can't wait to get to work right away. ”

Chen Yongren 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 Chen Yongren also cooled down Wang Wei, who was a little upset, and asked him to deal with the matter in front of him first.

Later, after giving Wang Wei some explanations, he asked him to get busy..................
