Chapter 496: Outline

A celebrity worth $8 million in endorsements, once he is fully committed to promoting endorsements, how much traffic can he bring?

It's undoubtedly huge.

However, this certainly shows that Forrest Gump is really powerful, but it is not enough to control Maoyan alone, and it is foreseeable that the subsidized ticketing implemented by Maoyan will be the same money-burning strategy as group buying.

Staking is inevitably a price war.

Compared with Forrest Gump, Wang Xing hopes to introduce a cash cow, and in the second round of financing, Ali and Sequoia Capital invested $50 million, but he has scruples about giants like Ali.

If you continue to introduce funds from the Alibaba system, I am afraid that Meituan's dominance may not be on its side in the future.

Wang Xing considers that the capital is not only to consider the continuous input in the future, but also to consider the stability of the rights within the group, he does not want to join the giant, but wants to become a giant himself.

On the other hand, Forrest Gump's studio's simple funding is more beneficial.

Endorsement is a good bargaining chip, which is very beneficial for capturing users at this stage, on the contrary, if Forrest Gump is pushed to the opponent, it may be a bit bad.

Wang Xing has a tendency in his heart, and another point of doubt is the financial situation of Forrest Gump, the other party has repeatedly asked for control, and the valuation of Maoyan is simply independent to at least 1 billion Huaxia coins.

500 million is not an easy number, let alone a follow-up.

Wang Xing hopes that the funds will be simple, but he does not want to have turmoil in the future.

"Holding is not good, 40% of the shares. Wang Xing thought about it for a long time and gave a number.

Gan Jing glanced at Zhou Pu, then at Lao Chen, and his eyes signaled, and naturally Zhou Pu said: "If we don't have a controlling stake, then we need to be lightly involved in the daily management and operation." As for the share, the difference between 40 and 49 is not big. ”

Chen Bin, senior vice president of Meituan, said: "This is a big difference, a full nine points. ”

Knock knock.

Gan Jing knocked on the table and said, "Let's discuss it." ”

Wang Xing and the others expressed their understanding, and politely got up and walked out of the conference room, they also needed to discuss the information just now.

After the Meituan people went out, Lao Chen got up and took a turn, didn't see the surveillance video, and nodded at the two.

Seeing this, Zhou Pu first made a judgment: "I met Wang Xing today, and my judgment is clearer, Meituan's losses are very serious." Its finances have been opaque, and the money for the previous Series B financing may have been almost spent. Now is a good time. ”

After listening to this, Lao Chen only asked silently: "Forrest Gump, has Wanda contacted you for online ticketing?"

Zhou Pu heard him ask, and looked at Forrest Gump with the same inquiring eyes.

Gan Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Obviously, I was blinded by them, didn't Wanda invite me to schedule before." Hey, you can't even see that?"

The two of them wiped their sweat together, Forrest Gump's autonomy is too high, I don't know if there is such a thing, this product's acting skills are good, listen to it, look at it, and it really looks like it!

No, it's more real than real!

"I didn't intend to get a controlling stake in the first place. I have a question on my mind now. Gan Jing glanced at the frosted glass, "My stake in Huaxia Special Effects is gradually rising, what if it is used to replace the stake of Maoyan?"

Huaxia special effects are doing it at a loss, and the loss is the remuneration, but it is calculated in the company's shares, and the reputation of the special effects is rising recently, and Maoyan is still in the stage of expanding its territory.

This is a bit of a sassy operation.

Zhou Pu fell into contemplation, if Huaxia special effects can be successfully listed in the future, it will be really a big cake, and it is a bit of a loss to replace the cat's eye now, but if the cat's eye trend is better......

He was a little hard to know for sure, and going public was not an easy task.

Gan Jing continued to say the next line of thought: "The share replacement of the upstream and downstream of film and television is beneficial, and I think Maoyan should agree." Wang Xing was talking just now, but the person in charge of Maoyan listened very carefully, and he should be very interested in us. ”

"Part of the share exchange, part of the capital, part of my personal brand. Gan Jing snapped out three fingers, "In terms of funds, the equity of Uber in the United States can be cashed out, and it is more than enough to use it on Maoyan." ”

Zhou Pu shook his head and said: "It's good to use bank loans, or dismantle from Xiaomi, their financial situation is very good." Equity in the United States has a lot of value, and it can not be used as a guarantee for the time being. ”

Now the highest value in Gan Jing's hand is equity, but the money he earns through filming is not enough in front of the company's magnitude, Xiaomi and Uber are increasing in value very quickly, and the situation is very good.

However, because it took more shares when it invested in Uber, its value is still above Xiaomi, and although it has been diluted by financing, it still retains a large part of it, and these shares have always been wanted to be taken over by Wall Street people, and they are high-quality assets.

The three of them discussed for a while, and the biggest gain from this trip to Meituan was not the contact process that had not yet been determined, but the judgment of the current situation.

Zhou Pu is very confident that if Maoyan doesn't talk well here, Guevara and Ali will still have a lot of room to operate.

After a while, when Wang Xing and others came in, Zhou Pu's confidence was no longer needed, and they agreed that Forrest Gump Studio held 40% of the shares, and the share replacement of Huaxia Special Effects plus the injection of funds could be used.

However, while not having a controlling stake, Wang Xing also demanded that the studio not participate in day-to-day decision-making.

This made Gan Jing hesitate slightly.

If you don't participate in the holding and decision-making, it will be easy to be trapped.

This time, the progress jumped forward, and the three had to discuss again, and finally Zhou Pu drafted a schedule for capital injection and a number of guarantee contracts, which can be regarded as able to eliminate some of the risks.

In the current situation, there are not many giants, there are not many opponents, and Meituan is facing huge financial pressure, which is a relatively good time, but the follow-up additional investment in staking is a very fatal thing.

It's not easy to make money on a simple online ticketing platform, but if you succeed in attracting users and then expand upstream, it will be a very interesting thing.

Gan Jing is now interested in the special effects production of the development trend of the film, the ticketing platform of the development trend of the Internet, and the excellent actors of his own studio...... If the development momentum is good and can be combined, what kind of effect can it have?

This is a predictable development.

Gan Jing's idea has been faintly visible, but Maoyan has determined an intention, and follow-up negotiations need to be further discussed, share valuation and replacement is a difficult point, and the estimation of the potential value of personal brands is also a problem, but the funds are actually more confident.

Meituan didn't know about this, and Gan Jing didn't feel the need for them to know.

Uber in the United States is appreciating rapidly, and he feels that this piece is likely to surprise a group of people in the near future.
