Ten o'clock in the morning, a café on the street in Burbank City.

Zhang Junsheng has been sitting here for almost half an hour, and he is on the phone.

He is now the owner of a public company, and it is not for him to decide whether to merge or take a stake in DreamWorks Animation.

At least convince the board!

Tang Ningyu They don't want to take too big a step, Yuehua's current debt ratio is less than ten percent, and her reputation is very good!

However, if they buy DreamWorks, not to mention whether they can come up with so much cash, they don't value the anime itself very much!

Even "Kung Fu Panda", the domestic income can exceed 100 million...

The "Pleasant Goat Movie" in the Spring Festival file has a box office of only more than 30 million, which is only enough to return to the cost.

Let me first talk about the data of Chinese films, the total box office of Chinese films in 2002 was 920 million, equivalent to 150 million US dollars, and the total box office in China last year was 4.35 billion, and the box office increased nearly four times in five years. The total box office in the first half of this year was 2.98 billion, and the annual box office is expected to be close to 6 billion. Ten years later, in 2017, the box office of Chinese films will reach about 60 billion, plus the appreciation of the yuan, about 9 billion US dollars, and the entire market will be close to the United States. ”

"Hollywood, and even the world, the proportion of anime movies is close to 20 percent, and our country is less than 5 percent, what a huge market..."

It makes sense, but Tang Ningyu wants to see the actual benefits!

In fact, the position of animation films in the domestic film market is indeed a bit chicken, why does Dongyang Media not even have an animation business?

Before the emergence of Yuehua, Dongyang had always been the top brand in the mainland.

Any large enterprise, or an industry, can rise, it must be driven by demand.

Zhang Junsheng can say that ten years later, he will definitely see the dividends brought by the vigorous development of animation...

Investors should look at the immediate interests!

The reason why they invest in Yuehua is because Yuehua's movies rarely miss, and most importantly, the cycle of return on investment is very short!

$150 million to make an anime, from planning to release to account sharing, it takes at least three years!

The return on investment is only 100% at most, and it is not guaranteed - what about DreamWorks, "The Great War of Aliens", "Wandering in the Rat Country", and "Bee Story" have not been able to make a profit at the box office, if it were not for the videotapes and peripherals, these works can be called a failure!

Even with DVD revenue, "Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas" and "My Little Pony" are both high-loss projects...

Lao Tzu takes the same money to speculate in real estate, and the money comes faster...

And it's safer - if you buy a house, you can't go down!

All in all, Tang Ningyu is not optimistic about this acquisition...

After all, $2.5 billion is a bit scary...

It's unrealistic to eat fat in one go!

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng asked for a cup of coffee, and while drinking, he thought carefully about Tang Ningyu's words...

He has a point, 80% of the revenue of the mainland film market is the box office of movies, peripherals, DVDs, etc., and there is no good revenue channel until ten years later...

But this is DreamWorks!

The world's top animation production company now has the opportunity to start, and in any case, Zhang Junsheng does not want to give up.

Since he couldn't pass Yuehua, Zhang Junsheng thought about whether he could buy it in a private name?

Does he have so much money?

Got to Steve, who was his investment advisor.

"Uber won't go public for the time being, but Wall Street values Uber at $20 billion..."

"How many shares do I have?"

"If you sell now, it's only a billion dollars at most..."

“… Why is it so low?"

"Uber is cheap to ride, and because the company is subsidizing the cost of each trip, it has been operating at a loss, but investors are reluctant to accept projects that don't see a profit!"

Well, it's true that Uber hasn't been on the market...

It has not been able to solve the problem of profitability...

“… What about Facebook?"

"Do you want to sell Facebook stocks? I don't recommend you to do that, Wall Street investors analyze, once Facebook is listed, the market value will be at least hundreds of billions of dollars, and you have 10 percent... Eight's equity is worth at least tens of billions of dollars, and if it is sold now, it can only be sold for a maximum of $2 billion, which is not a good deal!"

Jeffrey persuaded.

"But I need money now!" After thinking about it seriously, Zhang Junsheng asked, "What is the market value of the burn after reading?"

“… The number of users who are burned after reading is more than 5 million, and it is currently growing rapidly, according to market analysis, the prospect is very large, half a month ago, Facebook proposed a billion acquisition of the purchase of the burning after reading..."

“… Mark Zuckerberg is quite discerning!"

"They want to use Facebook's shares to convert and merge and burn them after reading..."

“… Tell him, I'm not selling!"

Grass, can you have a face!

If you don't pay a dime, you want to buy it and burn it after reading?

"And how much money do I have now?"

"Uber's stake plus Facebook's stake is worth about $15 billion..."

“… I'm talking about the money that can be mobilized!"

Jeffrey was puzzled: "... Why do you have to use your own funds? You can find a bank!"

"Banks?"

Zhang Junsheng was blessed to his soul: "You mean, I can take out a loan, and how much can I borrow?"

“… It should be no less than $5 billion!"

"I see, you go get busy first. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng suddenly felt that he was cute, and he actually thought about how much money he had in his hand, how much business he would do, and completely forgot about the bank...

How did so many real estate developers develop?

First raise tens of millions, build a building, then take out a mortgage, and build another building...

Re-mortgage, two more ...

Lao Wang can carry 80% of the debt to buy and buy all over the world, and even compete with the political axe for business!

What's wrong with Zhang Junsheng?

Besides, he has always had a good relationship with the bank, and presumably they are willing to lend money...

Closing the phone, Zhang Junsheng picked up the coffee, he had money in his hand, and he didn't panic...

Outside the window, the sun is shining just right, and Burbank is known as the "Media Capital of the World," with entertainment studios from Disney to Warner Bros. creating top-notch visual content at the foot of Verdugo Mountain.

The whole of Burbank is a bit like a movie city, recreating scenes from a century ago...

There are horse-drawn carriages on the side of the street...

, is this treading the 21st century?

I was looking at it strangely, and a voice came from behind me:

"Excuse me, are you Zhang Junsheng?"

Zhang Junsheng turned his head, she was a girl, very good-looking, with a goose egg face, long hair and a shawl, and an excellent temperament.

“… Yes, I'm Zhang Junsheng, you're Zhang Junmi, right?"

Standing up very gentlemanly, pulling out the chair, and waiting for her to sit down, Zhang Junsheng's first sentence was: "Wow, you are so good-looking!"

It's a compliment from the heart...

"Thank you..."

Zhang Junmi smiled politely...
