Chapter Eighty-Three: Accidents
The sedan is driving on the flat road, very steady, the night is as cool as water, the city will bloom her brilliance at night, and the flashing neon lights are like a beautiful stage, showing the various states of life.
Han Sanping's identity determines that he must have a purpose in doing things, and at the same time, his identity also determines that he can do things according to his preferences. Please invite Lin Fan to come tonight, Wang Zhonglei's appearance is a bridge for him to pull the string, so what is he trying to do?
In fact, Lin Fan had thought about this problem when Han Sanping generously helped Lin Fan issue crazy stones. Will the third master in the film industry agree to use the blockbuster division model for the crazy stone of the nameless? Even if he really likes this movie, he still has a layer of identity, a businessman, and businessmen have been profit-seeking since ancient times.
Lin Fan didn't mind thinking about human nature a little worse, the Wang Qing incident made him realize a lot of things. He is willing to believe in others, but only if he sees something worth convincing.
Han Sanping looked at Lin Fan and groaned for a long time, and couldn't help but think about mentioning something, "Actually, Huayi is very sincere. ”
"Oh?" Lin Fan needed some time to buffer, and hummed quietly.
"The soldier assault is directed by Kang Honglei, first of all, his directing ability has been proven a few years ago, and the military theme is his forte, screenwriter Lan Xiaolong has won international awards, will such a strong combination of dramas not be popular? ”
Well, of course Lin Fan knows that this drama will be popular, Huayi is authentic, and if he is not sure whether he will invest, he will sell himself first. I just don't know if this stroke is from Wang Zhongjun or Wang Zhonglei.
"Huayi had a big event last year, but that doesn't mean that Huayi can't even get a few million. Of course, if it weren't for what happened last year, Huayi would not have thought about introducing investment. ”
Lin Fan's expression moved, and his thoughts suddenly became clear, a major earthquake did occur in Huayi in 05, the agent Wang Jinghua left, and dozens of movie stars in Huayi followed, including many powerful actors like Hu Jun and Xia Yu, and then Huayi launched several big-budget movies one after another, and spent 80 million to renew Li Bingbing, half of the so-called Huayi is empty, and Wang Zhongjun reprimanded Wang Jinghua in the media, Huayi can leave, what is Wang Jinghua?
In fact, Wang Jinghua's departure caused more of a blow to Huayi's reputation, and the company's assets were not affected, but the reputation of the entertainment company is also a kind of resource, so Huayi will come up with such a combination of sky-high contract investment films, in Lin Fan's view, Huayi wants to introduce itself, although it has the intention of introducing capital, but more reason is to take advantage of the situation and borrow the fame of mortals.
"Why me?" Lin Fan asked his own question.
Han Sanping smiled when she heard this, and Lin Fan obviously had an answer, "Because of me." ”
"You?"
"That's right. Han Sanping held the steering wheel smoothly and smiled at Lin Fan, a standard old driver, "In recent years, the quantity and quality of films invested by Huayi have been at the forefront in China, and Huaxia's films are not something that can be supported by a Chinese film, it needs a lot of private companies to develop, only the more movies are made, the more prosperous the film market will be." I don't want Huayi to be obsessed with it. ”
"The third master is noble. Lin Fan gave a thumbs up.
Han Sanping waved his hand, "Of course, a big reason is that I have a good personal relationship with the Chinese military, and when he encountered this incident, I happened to know you, an upstart in the Internet industry, a rich man who is interested in movies, only people like you can play the money-burning thing of movies, and you are willing to burn money, so I am happy to be able to match you." ”
Everything suddenly became clear, Han Sanping actually wanted to introduce the power of capital into the film market, his original intention was to prosper the film market, and later generations proved that he did it. But is there really no sequelae in doing this? Is there nothing to do with the large-scale domestic bad films in later generations and the indiscriminate intrusion of capital? Who can say clearly which is right and which is wrong?
However, Lin Fan is not ready to refuse, although he also has plans to open an entertainment company, although the funds in his hands are not rich, but he knows that Ma Yun's investment in Huayi in his previous life will earn more than 200 times in the future.
"Third master, I have no problem. ”
Han Sanping grinned, "The Chinese army will talk to you about specific matters, I'm just a messenger." ”
......
Back home, Lin Fan continued to look over the wall to read foreign information, these days Lin Fan has been paying attention to the situation of Silicon Valley technology companies, preparing for his trip to the United States in March, of course, a big reason is that he is afraid of any accidents in his appearance.
Just this look, Lin Fan was taken aback. Facebook was openly recruiting for its second financing, which caught Lin Fan off guard.
Lin Fan did want to invest $10 million, but not Facebook, but YouTube, a popular website that was founded in 2005 by three young people in an underground garage.
Well, the West seems to have a lot of love for garages. Apple was founded by Steve Jobs in the garage, and Microsoft was also in the garage.
YouTube, which received $3 million from Sequoia Capital in 2005, doesn't seem to be much better than Baidu, which started a business with $2.5 million, but in October 2006, Google spent $1.65 billion to acquire YouTube, and Chen Shijun, the founder from Taiwan, became a billionaire in one fell swoop and became a man of the year in the business world in '06.
Historically, YouTube will raise $8 million in its first round of funding in March. And Lin Fan is going to cut off this hu, which means that he will get a few thousand percent of the benefits after eight months.
However, Lin Fan forgot about Facebook, although this master is considered a long-term investment, but it is worth it! This is a giant company that has reached a market value of $100 billion just after it went public, and it will swell to more than $400 billion in 17 years.
This also means that the sooner you invest in Facebook, the lower the cost and the more money you make. If Lin Fan is not mistaken, in 2005, Facebook's B round of financing, venture capital invested 25 million US dollars to account for 4.7% of the shares, after a year, in 2007, the C round of financing Microsoft invested 240 million US dollars, accounting for only 1.6% of the shares, and Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, invested 60 million US dollars to account for 0.4% of the shares.
In just over a year, Facebook's market value has swelled from more than $500 million to $15 billion, although Internet companies are relatively virtual, but this market value proves investors' confidence in Facebook, as long as investors are optimistic and willing to pay for it, then everything is not a problem.
Faced with this cash cow-like existence, Lin Fan was moved. After thinking about it, Lin Fan dialed Yizu's phone, and the funds could only fall on ICBC again......
