Chapter 105: Gap Widening, Gingko Capital
After Bill Gates left, Sunflower sent congratulations: "According to my husband, 30% of Microsoft's shares are worth $150 billion." Congratulations, Mr. Prophet, for a great victory!"
Lin Yi hugged his wife, kissed and shook the document: "You and I cooperate with husband and wife, but we are really invincible! Baby, I really love you to death! If you have any requirements, you can mention it!"
Xiang Yanghua frowned and asked with an embarrassed face: "I'm short of money now, can you lend me $30 million?"
Lin Yi showed curiosity, from a girl to his wife, he took the initiative to reach out and ask for money, this is the first time! Could it be that the sun has come out in the west?
"Baby, you boldly say, no matter what, my husband will carry it for you!"
"Hmm~~, not a bad thing. After working with Hasbro, the animation of Transformers was repeatedly delayed backwards. Recently, the other party proposed to either sell the full copyright or pay for a new joint venture. Toys and animations are developed together. ”
Lin Yi can understand: "Are listed companies, they are all very shrewd! We want to take a tailwind, but it seems that people don't agree." But it doesn't matter, this money is out of the husband. In the future, a movie will easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and this investment is not a problem!"
The two of them have a great harvest today, of course, they can't help but celebrate!
However, the next day, Lin Yi's money was not enough. Before cash, there were $68 million. Host stocking and marketing, 60 million advanced. The remaining 8 million has been allocated to Ferran to attack the South American arcade market.
So, he picked up the phone and began to search around. Xiaoxin Food Company, the financial rights were handed over, and the money was not enough to stuff the teeth.
Qiao's Publishing House, in the past six months, has made a lot of money. However, Qiao Anbang has something to say: "The boss said last year that he would take advantage of the economic crisis to buy more copyrights. So right now, only "Grandma's Tale" and "Far Side of the Moon" have just earned $1 million. ”
Just put down the phone, Lin Yi called George again: "Hey, big director, "Mad Max", how is it now?"
The other party immediately asked for credit: "Time, it only took two months! The funds, only 350,000 US dollars, the budget has not been used up at all! Boss Lin, I did a good job, right?"
"It's been two months since the filming, why hasn't it been released?"
"Don't mention it, it's all about the issuing company. After making the publicity budget, they suddenly found that the money was not enough, and there was a shortfall of $6 million! They were optimistic about the film, so they didn't want to give it to others. I've been messing with this!"
"If you meet someone unladylike, you must pay attention next time! Only 6 million, I will solve it for you. But for the box office share, you have to take care of it. Wait until the film sells well, and I will give you a big red envelope!"
Putting down the phone, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh: The movie shooting is only a few hundred thousand, but the publicity is several million! This is really ......
Moreover, after these phone calls, the host's funding gap was not only not filled, but expanded to 35 million!
Scratched the scalp and began to operate the loan. His first choice was his old friend HSBC: "Hey, I'm Lin Yi, looking for a private banking manager!"
This time, it was still a door-to-door service, but it was a different person.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin Yi, my name is James, and I am your exclusive bank manager. ”
"Oh, what did I hear? It's actually Chinese? Is it ......?"
"You guessed it, I'm from Hong Kong and I'm transferred here. Moreover, I was born and grew up in the Pearl of the Orient. ”
"I really didn't expect it, the service is so intimate!"
James' face was sad: "But, since you arrived, you haven't visited our small shop once!"
Lin Yi couldn't help laughing: "HSBC, you said it's a small shop? This joke is good! When I saw you, I thought in my heart that there was a British housekeeper!"
James is about 40 years old, but he is not as dull as the British, and he is very good at livening up the atmosphere: "A private bank housekeeper is also a housekeeper. ”
This person's personality is quite popular with Lin Yi. Who says the British are old-fashioned? That's all stereotypes!
"Alright, let's get down to business. I have a big project, and now there is a funding gap, about $35 million. I came to you this time to get another mortgage. ”
"I've seen the commercial, and it seems to be fun. I think my kids will love it!"
Seeing Lin Yi nodded, James continued: "Paradise Games Company, last year's loan was just paid off this month. Your company's momentum is on the rise, and there is no problem with new loans!"
"In that case, let's start now, shall we?"
"Please wait a minute, there's a question I need time to figure out. Paradise Games, do you plan to go public in the future?"
This is not a secret, Lin Yi nodded immediately.
"Well, I have a suggestion. ”
"Please. ”
"In this way, instead of taking out loans, it is better to issue bonds. ”
"Does it make a difference?"
"In terms of interest rates, bonds will be higher. However, the impact of bonds is much larger than that of loans. One only faces the bank, and the other faces the market, so that more investors can realize that Paradise Company is conducive to listing in the future. ”
Understanding the reason, Lin Yi of course chose bonds. And in terms of amount, it is not 35 million, but 50 million. It is still necessary to keep some living money on hand.
It didn't take long for James to come with good news: "The bonds have all been sold, 50 million have been received, please check Mr. Lin." ”
"How can it be so fast? I thought it would take at least a month!"
"You're really busy! The family game paradise console is advertising a lot, the market recognition is skyrocketing, and it is normal for investors to be enthusiastic. ”
Lin Yi got the money and immediately split it into two. $35 million, allocated to Phelan and George. The remaining 15 million is still not invested in stocks. He took out 5 million and set up a venture capital company.
Defengjie sent Apple, and Sunflower brought it back to Microsoft, which made Lin Yi taste the sweetness. Here in Silicon Valley, there are gold mines everywhere. It is indispensable for a venture capital company of its own to keep abreast of the dynamics here.
Venture capital companies are not only competitive, but also cooperative. Therefore, Lin Yi did not hide it, and called directly to Defengjie for help: "Tim, I set up a venture capital company called Ginkgo Capital. Now you need a manager, can you recommend one?"
"Ginkgo Capital, Sequoia Capital, do you want to do something?"
"How could it be, sequoia represents longevity. And ginkgo biloba, in Chinese culture, also has a special significance!"
Lin Yi's consultation, Tim did not feel offended, but thought that he was trusted. Therefore, in one go, I recommended several people so that friends could choose from them.
In the end, a person named Jacob was favored by Lin Yi: "Just this person, can you help me get in touch?"
Tim laughed: "Lin, you really have a vision! He, like me, has been in the financial industry for three generations in a row. ”
