Chapter 141: Investment and Creation
Xu Changge finally got his wish and got the acceptance bill of 20 million and the final payment of 4.3675 million.
After getting the acceptance bill, Xu Changge went to the bank to discount and deduct 1.57 million interest, and the remaining 18.43 million was deposited into his personal account.
This naturally includes Lu Xinghe's 2,436,750 yuan and Yi Wenbin's 1,218,375 yuan.
Xu Changge made up a whole for them, giving them 2.44 million and 1.22 million respectively.
The acceptance of 20 million was what he insisted on, and Xu Changge didn't think about letting them bear the interest together, even though their dividends should have been recovered in batches.
In this regard, Lu Xinghe and Yi Wenbin are naturally grateful.
After deducting taxes, publicity fees, discount interest and dividends from Lu Xinghe and Lu Wenbin, only 19.13 million of the 27 million remained!
In the early stage, 6.2 million yuan was invested to purchase 78% of the copyright, and 1.44 million yuan was invested in the later stage to repurchase 12% of the share of Xingyi Investment.
After investing 7.64 million yuan before and after, we finally got a return on investment of 19.13 million yuan.
This ROI is more than doubled, but bother!
It's really hard to make some money!
Xu Changge put down the report in his hand and sighed.
Counting the money earned from investing in Yi'an Technology before, the only remaining more than 500,000 remuneration for "Ice Blade" after paying taxes, Xu Changge's current available cash is only more than 20 million.
Million...... That's not enough money!
"Twenty million ......" Xu Ru's eyes widened, and her head went blank!
Once upon a time, all she wanted was to save enough money for her brother to buy a house and beg for her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that in less than two years, they would become multimillionaires!
Looking at Xu Changge, who has not changed much from two years ago, Xu Ru is somewhat emotional!
"Sister, this is just the beginning!" Xu Changge said with a smile, "It will get better and better in the future!"
"Changge, this money, my sister will help you buy some houses!" Xu Ru thought for a while and said, "In addition, you are also twenty-one...... It's time to find a daughter-in-law!"
"Sister...... Where are you talking about this!" Xu Changge was a little speechless, he was only twenty-one years old, and he wasn't very yet!
"I don't urge you, do you have the heart to find a girlfriend?" Xu Ru snorted and said: "I know that other celebrities are not married at the age of thirty or forty, I don't allow you to do this!"
"No, no, I will definitely find you a brother and daughter-in-law before the age of thirty. Xu Changge said with a plea for mercy.
"That's what you said, but I remember it!" Xu Ru nodded in response.
"Sister, shouldn't you worry about your life events? You're twenty-six years old, okay?" Xu Changge said with a smile.
"Don't worry about adults and children!" Xu Ru said expressionlessly.
Xu Changge looked helpless: "......"
"What about buying a house?" Xu Ru then asked.
Xu Changge pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of buying a house...... No rush yet!"
He vaguely remembered that the rise in housing prices was after Huaxia issued the red-headed document "Notice on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market" at the end of 2003!
The core of this "circular" is that it officially declares to the people of the whole country: the right to purchase affordable housing that ordinary citizens are entitled to at the time of the 98 housing reform has come to an end, and China has now entered the era of real estate economy.
But the real boom came after 2005.
The market environment is like this, and Xu Changge naturally didn't want to change it.
If you want to buy a house, wait until then to buy a few more units!
"Then you have to save this money, and you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately!" Xu Ru warned.
"I'm going to take out some of it to invest in ......" Xu Changge looked at Xu Ru's face and muttered quietly.
"What are you going to vote for!" Xu Ru looked up at Xu Changge and said.
"Investing 12 million in a technology company ......," Xu Changge said firmly.
Xu Ru looked at Xu Changge with burning eyes and asked in a low voice, "It's confirmed!"
"It's confirmed!" Xu Changge's gaze was determined, the money ...... He'll keep it no matter what, and he won't use it for any other purpose!
Xu Ru nodded, whenever her younger brother made a decision, she rarely changed his decision, even though she knew that she had such influence.
"Is there a place for the remaining more than eight million?" Xu Ru asked softly.
Xu Changge nodded and said calmly: "I plan to invest in TV series or movies!"
"Hmm...... Yes, yes, but I still have to give you a few words of caution. Xu Ru nodded in response.
"Sister, you say. Xu Changge said.
"Although we have invested in "Ice Blade" and made more than 10 million gains, you should be aware that this situation is rare in TV series investment.
And this kind of opportunity is also hard to find, good works are not short of investment, lack of investment must be very risky.
And the risk of investing in movies is even greater, and if you are not careful, you will even lose all your money......" Xu Ru said methodically.
Xu Changge listened to her opinion carefully, her sister's scruples are not unreasonable, whether it is investing in movies or TV series, there are great risks.
He also knows in his heart that in many cases, the quality of the script does not determine the final box office or ratings.
The script is only one aspect, and this stuff is very deceptive.
Many times, a script that looks good and a good character is a super bad work after it is made into a movie.
And a script that seems bland and unsurprising can sometimes make a good work.
The reason is very simple, film and television works are not equal to scripts, not paragraphs of text, not a matter of a few sentences.
It also includes the shooting of the shots, the performances of the actors, the improvisation of the scene, the post-editing, the soundtrack......
There are even times when the same script is made by different directors, and it can be two completely different films.
One of the reasons why Xu Changge invested in the TV series "Ice Blade" is because he knows the results that "Ice Blade" will achieve.
The second reason is that he plays the leading role himself, so that he has a control over the quality of this TV series, at least not too far away.
But it is too difficult for him to encounter such an opportunity in the future!
As my sister said, good works don't need his investment, and bad works will definitely lose if they are invested.
Rather than that, it's better to ......
"How about we invest in filming ourselves?" Xu Changge said softly.
"Let's be specific!" Xu Ru Zhengse asked, "Is it to buy the script and find a director and actor to shoot it?"
"My idea is to write the script myself and play the leading role at the same time, so that we can have a good control over both investment and quality!" Xu Changge said in a deep voice.
When Xu Ru heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Wouldn't they be taking more risk that way?
In acting, the younger brother's talent is undoubted.
But in terms of script creation, she really didn't know that her brother had such a talent.
Being able to act doesn't mean you can write a good script! A good script must include all aspects of life, or emotions or plots.
And Xu Changge is only twenty years old, can he write a script that will be recognized by the audience?
Or is it just his blind confidence this time?
Xu Ru looked at Xu Changge with his mouth slightly open, hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Then ...... Give it a try. ”
