Chapter Seventy-Two: Investing in Dynasty Entertainment (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)

"In fact, I have reached a consensus with several venture capital funds about the valuation of this Series A financing. After Wang Yifan finished saying this, he glanced at Zhou Kun and continued to speak when he saw that he had no reaction.

"The A round is valued at 150 million, and this round of the company will release 30% of the equity financing of 45 million. ”

"Tell me about the purpose of your financing and what you are going to do with the money you raise. Zhou Kun nodded, and he didn't rush to ask how many shares he planned to give to Qingyu.

As for this valuation, although it is not cheap, it is not outrageously expensive, compared with Luo Ji Siwei, three or five billion papi, a video and other head tuba, the price of Dynasty Entertainment is still acceptable, and it is also a quasi-first-line player.

"It is mainly used to merge and acquire some public accounts to complete the dynasty's self-media matrix, and with the development of the company's business, there is a shortage of manpower, and enough money is needed to recruit talents, and many of the company's old employees also have a certain demand for salaries.

Mr. Zhou, you also know that it is no longer the era when you can only talk about dreams and not money. No matter how great the dream is, we still have to face the reality in the end, so many employees of the company also need a bowl of rice to eat.

It's not that good bosses nowadays only talk about money and don't talk about dreams, because they know that the biggest dream of employees is not to go to work. Wang Yifan smiled slightly bitterly, this was not a deliberate show.

is because most of the employees in their self-media industry are the younger generation of post-90s, and they are also more individual, unlike the post-70s and post-80s who are willing to be a hard-working old scalper who is willing to be squeezed by the company.

"Actually, it's a good thing to think about it the other way, which shows that the times are progressing and everyone's self-awareness is stronger. Zhou Kun has a positive and optimistic attitude towards such changes.

In fact, a good company culture is no company culture, there is no need to force employees to have any dedication to the company, one to pay for the other to work, money to work enough, everything is OK.

Always thinking about how to give the employee a dollar to let him do two dollars of work, can squeeze a little more is a little too chicken thief, in the end except for a few fools who are fooled and lame, there will always be smart people who wake up.

You can't just recruit fools for the whole enterprise, which is not conducive to the development of the company in the long run.

Wang Yifan smiled and didn't speak, although he also understood this truth, but when he saw the figures in the employee salary column on the financial statements every month, he couldn't help but feel a big head.

If you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, it's one thing to understand, and it's another thing to be willing to accept it.

"Let's talk about how many shares are willing to release to us in this round. Zhou Kun saw that Wang Yifan didn't want to talk deeply on this issue, so he didn't continue, so he talked about the issues he was most concerned about.

"In fact, the financing amount of our dynasty this round has been set by three companies, namely Rushan Fund, Daxia Capital and Zhen Fund.

Together, they won 20% of the quota. As for the remaining 10%, in fact, we are also looking for a large fund that can help us in terms of contacts and resources. Qingyu's words may be a little too young...."Speaking of this, Wang Yifan looked at Zhou Kun.

"We want this 10% of our green pomelo, give you 25 million, and the extra 10 million can be regarded as making up for the lack of other resources of our green pomelo, but as compensation, our green pomelo capital wants two seats on the board of directors. Zhou Kun is also simply, he knows that his Qingyu and those old funds are not comparable in terms of contacts and resources, if you want to impress Wang Yifan, giving more money directly is the only and best choice.

After all, contacts and resources still have to be realized in the end, and it is just a matter of price.

As for asking for two board seats, it is also to ensure his voice and influence in the dynasty, and to avoid just being a pure financial investor, which does not mean much to him.

"In this way, Mr. Zhou, will you suffer too much, as for the board of directors, it is not impossible to consider it. Wang Yifan began to behave at this time, although Zhou Kun's offer surprised him, far beyond his psychological price.

In fact, he has fully recognized this price in his heart, and you must know that the shares allocated to the previous three funds are not pure cash, but part of them are discounted with relevant resources.

If the extra 10 million is used to merge and acquire the WeChat public account, you can buy an extra large account with 5 million fans, which is much more than ordinary channels and resources.

It's just that he is indeed a little reluctant to sit on the board of directors, and he has also rejected the previous Rushan Fund and Zhen Capital's desire for a seat on the board of directors, but under the dual effect of Zhou Kun's silver bullet offensive and persuasion, he can't afford to refuse.

And there doesn't seem to be a big problem with just two seats, the other four on the board are also his people, and the control is still firmly in his own hands in the case of 5:2, and he shouldn't be able to make any waves.

So Wang Yifan also agreed to Zhou Kun's offer, and now this appearance is just pretending to be for Zhou Kun to see, after all, he agreed at once, and he was afraid that Zhou Kun would feel that he would suffer a big loss after the fact, and it would be bad to regret it when the time came.

Why, they're all out for sale, isn't this a bitch and a memorial arch? Zhou Kun scolded secretly, but he still smiled very sincerely: "It doesn't matter if you have money or not, I just hit it off with Mr. Wang, and the extra 10 million should be regarded as making a friend." ”

"That's really thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your love. Wang Yifan's face was also very bright, like a little daisy.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. Zhou Kun took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Hahaha, it is naturally pleasant to cooperate with Mr. Zhou. Wang Yifan firmly held Zhou Kun's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Kun, who had finished talking, also relaxed.

Although he still trusts the role of persuasion, he is also afraid that something will happen accidentally, and it is naturally better to be able to do it smoothly at one time.

It's just that after this conversation, Zhou Kun felt that in the future, he should leave these things to the people below, he is a person with money ability, and enjoying life with peace of mind is the king.

Investing in this kind of thing, it's good to have professional people do it, why bother to make yourself tired and laborious, not to mention that these things are not as interesting as you originally imagined.

After making an appointment for the next time to sign the contract, Zhou Kun said goodbye to Wang Yifan, made a phone call to inform the company's financial and legal affairs to prepare the relevant work, and the relevant work of the contract was also handed over to the company's vice president, and Zhou Kun did not plan to come forward.

After ordering these trivial things, Zhou Kun turned on the computer and looked at the after-school homework assigned by Chen Xuewen that his assistant Wang Feng helped him complete.

Since he was taken by Zhou Kun the night before yesterday, this top economics student from Fudan has exploded with unprecedented passion in his work, and has been taking the initiative to ask Zhou Kun what else he can serve.

It just so happened that Zhou Kun also had a headache with those questions that were obviously deliberately difficult for Chen Xuewen, so he took advantage of the situation and threw them to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng naturally did his best and did not dare to slack off, and took out the serious energy that he did not have when he was studying for a doctorate to help Zhou Kun complete his homework, and raised the small topic of an undergraduate student's class report to a level comparable to that of an ordinary master's thesis.

This makes Zhou Kun have to sigh that men can always burst out with unprecedented energy for this kind of thing, no wonder X is the main driving force for the development of the Internet.
