Chapter 188: Alas, I've lost to you

What is happiness? This is a simple question, but it seems to contain a lot of philosophical implications in it, and this incident fully illustrates a truth: there is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself.

If you are happy, you will be happy, and if you are not happy, you can find a way to make yourself happy.

Lin Fan is very happy now, even if his waist is very sore, he has been staying with Chu Chu from yesterday afternoon to this morning, alas, he is still young, and he can't hold it.

And he was happy in front of him because Sequoia Capital couldn't wait to come to the door to negotiate, and at this time, Lin Fan was in control of the absolute initiative.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, Microsoft's valuation of mortals has reached a billion dollars, so. ”

Li Chengqian had no opinion on Lin Fan's unfinished words, and his face was even calmer, "I will add fifteen million to fifty million dollars as promised." ”

This was a bit unexpected by Lin Fan, and in less than a month, it had risen by $35 million, and even if this kind of thing was acceptable to Lin Fan, there would still be a fire.

"I was a little surprised. Lin Fan said very frankly.

"Why be surprised, we're willing to pay for you and prove that we think it's a worthwhile deal. You don't need to be stressed, we're far more relaxed than you think. ”

"I think I finally understand why Sequoia is one of the top five investment banks in the world. ”

Li Chengqian smiled but stopped talking, his confidence and calmness also came from Lin Fan, a company that can be favored by Microsoft is worthy of Sequoia's increased investment.

However, IDG is not so calm, the valuation of mortals has exceeded their psychological expectations, 500 million is their bottom line, but they didn't expect Microsoft to double it, venture capital is not a charity, and there is only one reason why they can squander without limits: that is, they are sure that they can get enough rich returns, and there are obviously some surprises in front of them, so IDG, as the lead investor, only bought two percent of the shares.

It also marks the official end of Mortal's Series B financing, and Mortal has obtained a huge capital of $130 million, which is enough for Mortal to set off a large-scale expansion. The U.S. branch was officially established, Mortal Antivirus was officially launched on the Microsoft System Store, and the promotion of PS was also in full swing.

And Lin Fan finally received a call he had dreamed of, and Han Sanping had news.

"It lives up to the trust, but Lin is likely to be disappointed. ”

Mr. Han said seriously. Lin Fan personally poured a cup of tea for Han Sanping, "Mr. Han is running back and forth for my business, I remember this, no matter how well things are done, I am grateful." ”

Han Sanping nodded, "Mr. Lin, you must also know the situation of the New Film Association, this kind of franchise cinema company has very little control over its cinemas. The New Film Association has a total of 83 cinemas, of which the Liaoning North Cinema Alliance has 28 cinemas, and excluding the remaining loose cinemas that want to break away, there are still 27 in the end, mainly in Yanjing and Hebei Province. ”

Lin Fan nodded to show that he understood, after all, he was not interested in joining the theater chain, and now the rest are the theaters of state-owned enterprises such as Yanjing Film Factory, and the acquisition of the new film association is actually the main purchase of these companies.

"I've already taken care of the relationship for you, now it's up to you to see your attitude. ”

"I don't know what price the other party quoted?"

"A large part of the theaters of the new film association are relatively old, only one movie theater exists, and the rest are almost all distributed on the shopping mall and market floors, and the psychological range of the new film association is between 130 million and 50 million. ”

Lin Fan quickly calculated in his heart, according to this quotation, each theater is at least about five million, but where is it worth so much money? There is no land right, maybe the leased floor still has a few years of lease period, but how much can the rent be? Now the house price in Yanjing is less than 11,000 square meters, and the highest rent is only a few hundred thousand yuan per year, and even less in remote areas. The equipment is even older, and a movie theater is worth two or three million at most.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but glance up at Han Sanping, Han Sanping had a faint smile on his face, Lin Fan suddenly realized a problem, Han Sanping has always been very concerned about him, he wouldn't notice the unreasonableness of this offer?

"Mr. Han, where is the only cinema?"

Han Sanping laughed, "I thought Mr. Lin would be angry, but I didn't expect you to find out." Han Sanping said this, Lin Fan was even more surprised, it seems that there is a treasure.

"That's right, this cinema is very unusual, it was the leading theater of the former Yanjing Film Company, how rich the state-owned enterprises were in the past, you must also know, this cinema is on the most prosperous Wangfujing Street, five floors, thousands of square meters"

Lin Fan was already drooling, what is Wangfujing? It is a bustling pedestrian street in Yanjing City, and the Dongcheng District Government has even set up a special Wangfujing office to manage it.

"Mr. Han, don't say anything, it's worth the money. ”

Han Sanping did his best to help Lin Fan, this price was pressed by him, when the Yanjing Film Company was established, a piece of land was approved here to build a cinema in the name of developing the Beijing-Tianjin area, just to see the flow of people here, and the current land price alone is worth more than 30 million. Lin Fan's attitude satisfied Han Sanping, and felt that his hard work was not in vain, you bothered, others had to take care of it.

"That's it, Mr. Han, 140 million, you go and give the other party a bottom. If it can be done, we will sign the contract. ”

"Okay! Mr. Lin is doing things refreshedly. ”

A hint of relief flashed at the corner of Han Sanping's eyebrows, 130 million is the lowest price, and this price can indeed be negotiated, but it is his Han Sanping's face, and this plus 10 million Lin Fan can't lose anywhere, but it gives Han Sanping enough face, so that he is not so difficult to do, and such a young man is also energetic.

Lin Fan was still not satisfied with his shy face, "Mr. Han, this theater chain and the Internet are two concepts, you no longer support one or two talents for me?"

"What do you mean?" Han Sanping didn't react a little, "You still want to ask me for someone?"

"Looking at Mr. Han's tone, it makes me feel like a robbery. Lin Fan sighed, "Didn't I see that the Chinese film family has a great career and is full of talents, and I am afraid that the elite soldiers under President Han will not have a stage to play." ”

Lin Fan is now more and more aware of it, don't be afraid of owing favors, especially these big people, it is a skill to owe them favors, owe favors today, and return them tomorrow, and the friendship will be established.

Han Sanping said helplessly, "Xiaolin, I really underestimate your face. Although Han Sanping complained, he had a smile on his face.

Lin Fan just smiled, looking cute, but he looked very underwhelmed.

"Well, I've lost to you"
