Chapter 227: The Road to Investment (It's Difficult to Choose a Name)

At the end of the awards in Spain, Gan Jing attended the celebration dinner of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" for one night.

In a foreign country, they can all be regarded as their own family members, but out of vigilance about their drinking fragments, Gan Jing only tasted it and didn't drink much.

There was nothing to do at the dinner, but Zhou Dongyu had to come over and toast a few glasses of wine, she was inexperienced, and she didn't see that there was a drink in the toasting glass, so she drank a few glasses stupidly, and went back with a red face.

Near the end, Zhang Yimou dragged Gan Jing to a quiet place, and unexpectedly put forward an invitation to Gan Jing, asking him if he would like to go to the New Picture Film Company where he worked.

Gan Jing and Zhang Yimou actually don't have much intersection, and even if this side is counted, it's only the second side, he was surprised that the big director would make such an invitation, but fortunately, it seems that it was just a casual mention, and the chat between the two was not very embarrassing after Gan Jing declined.

The next day, Gan Jing did not say goodbye to the crew, and went directly to the airport alone to fly back to the United States.

However, after he arrived in the United States, he turned on his mobile phone and found that Zhou Dongyu actually sent him a text message, the first was to ask himself why the mobile phone was turned off, and the second was to ask himself if he had left.

Gan Jing replied with the news that he had arrived in California, and it was a long time before he received a message that said, "Oh, have a nice trip."

Hey, I'm here, what does this girl think, Gan Jing felt a little inexplicable, and after thinking about it, he felt that he still didn't want to guess the girl's mind.

At the airport in California, Gan Jing quickly put this matter aside, and took out his mobile phone with great interest to find Uber's software, ready to try its current effect, Uber has tried to launch the service in June, and its funds arrived in July, I don't know if this has changed now.

The software was a little stuck, and Gan Jing waited for about ten minutes before it prompted that there was no driver around to provide services for the time being.

Gan Jing turned off his mobile phone and queued up to take a taxi.

The promotion of Uber has a long way to go, and Gan Jingxin sighed, but he has no regrets, but he feels that this progress is not quite in line with his imagination.

Arriving at the hotel, Gan Jing first informed Andy that he had arrived in the United States, and then told Alan to come over and find out about the status of the investment.

He had to invest 10 million US dollars, which was not a small amount, although it was not a one-time payment, but it was enough for himself.

After taking a short shower and enjoying the dinner served to him, Andy and Alan arrived at the same time.

The two white elites had similar clothes, standard suits, trousers, ties, and glasses, but one was taller and more handsome, and the other looked more ordinary in comparison.

Unfortunately, agent Andy is the latter.

Gan Jing glanced at it like this, patted the coffee table in front of him, and said with a smile: "I haven't finished this meal yet." Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, sit down and take a few bites?"

The two foreigners obviously didn't have such easy-going ideas, and they didn't know much about Huaxia's politeness in this regard, so they just seriously rejected the kindness from Forrest Gump.

Gan Jing smiled, asked the two of them to sit down casually, and then sped up the pace of eating.

After about ten minutes, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, put away the plate again, sat down on the sofa and asked, "Andy, didn't you mean to come over?"

"Temporarily put things off. Andy replied.

"Oh, then I'll deal with the company's affairs first, it won't take too long, in fact, it's just to understand the situation. Gan Jing also said this to Allen, he himself did not understand these business affairs, and what he thought he understood was not a good thing.

The next time is reserved for the handsome Allen, maybe the genes of Lisa's family are relatively good, and Allen's inherited image of a handsome man is very conspicuous, and he is not so much like a business elite, but more like an actor who mixes in Hollywood.

"On Uber's side, Kalanick is still looking for funding, and the money needed to get a ride-hailing business is much more than just $30 million or 40 million. At present, a group of angel investors in Silicon Valley have shown interest. Alan talked eloquently, he joined Uber as a board representative, and in just one month, at least he figured out the company's situation and future plans.

"What do you say about my shares?" asked Gan Jing.

He invested $10 million, or 32 percent of the shares, and valued Uber at more than $30 million, with a number of detailed clauses.

"If there is a new injection of funds, the valuation and shareholding will naturally have to be calculated separately. Allen frowned, every investor must want to have the most shares all the time, and one of his job responsibilities is obviously to try not to dilute the shares, "But fortunately, our contract has been signed in advance, even if the investment in Silicon Valley enters, our capital is value-added." ”

Gan Jing thought for a moment and nodded.

Seeing that he was not dissatisfied, Alan continued: "As far as I know so far, the intention of this investment is very large, and I personally believe that your status is a way to increase value. ”

"Huh? ”

"You can be an ambassador for Uber's brand, and the technology wave is changing lives, and that positioning is good for your image. This intangible value can be calculated in the interests of the company, and I need to assemble a team of professionals to take care of the negotiations that I may face on a regular basis later. Alan stated.

After five seconds, Alan heard Forrest Gump's voice come softly: "Okay, let's form." ”

"Huh?" Rao is Allen was also shocked by Gan Jing's decisive decision, but he had prepared a lot of convincing reasons for the follow-up.

"Is it difficult? Gan Jing asked.

"Well, well, no, it's not hard. Hmm......" Allen's train of thought was disrupted for a moment, "nothing else, the current work is all about talking, cooperation with car manufacturers, the intention of angel funds, government policies, and so on." ”

"Okay, you can send me another email later, nothing else is here today. Gan Jing nodded and got up to see off the guests.

Andy was still in the room, Alan said goodbye with a playful farewell, and when he left, the agent suddenly thawed like an ice sculpture.

"Forrest Gump, you're good at investing now, and you've really done it. "Andy is not in charge of everything, but is in charge of Hollywood.

Gan Jing replied with a smile: "Take a look at the investment, I think this service is very convenient, I can experience the convenience, if it is rolled out in the future, it will not be a good thing." ”

Andy smiled, he's seen a lot of companies start and collapse every year, especially in this part of California.

"There's no script that's too suitable right now, but the thing about "Heartbeat" has been settled. This is what Andy said to Forrest Gump before that Warner's internal digestion of resources, and it is also a way for Warner to bind up artists.

"That's not bad. Gan Jing is very relaxed, this is a film with a small investment, "Don't forget to hang my producer's name." ”

Andy nodded, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Forrest Gump, have you played the League of Legends that I recommended to you?"

Gan Jing's heart suddenly suddenly, and he said casually: "No, what's wrong?"

Shaking his head, Andy frowned and said: "Recently, there is a very strange player who is a little famous, and someone recognized his nickname as Huaxia Pinyin oshiagan, which translates to me as Forrest Gump." I thought it was you. ”

"Hahaha, of course not me. Gan Jing's acting skills exploded, and his smile was normal, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.

yes, to be honest, of course it's not me, it's my dog!
