Chapter 484: A Billionaire Is Born
"It's really profitable, at present, we have a total of 840 million investment revenue, and the after-tax income is 630 million. Ren Zhenquan revealed the bottom.
It's so profitable!
Everyone was a little excited, and they trusted Ren Zhenquan more as a trader.
Lin Dong calculated that his 10% share, if it was 63 million, he had invested a total of about 30 million in the past two years, and he got more than half of the profit at once.
What's more, there are still 14 projects that have not yet been settled.
Perhaps, some people think that more than 30 million in two years is not much, and Boss Lin has a profit of more than one billion yuan for investing in a movie.
If you say this kind of thing in front of Boss Lin.
He probably could slap himself to death, because he didn't want to.
was originally going to lose money, but he earned money that others couldn't earn.
And the reason why Lin Dong can settle immediately is because of the system, otherwise he would have to wait for several years before he could get the money after the movie was released.
What's more, Star VC is testing the waters in front of it, and there has been no large-scale action yet.
Ren Zhenquan already plans to completely withdraw from the entertainment industry and concentrate on building his business empire, and Star VC will also be on the right track of investment at that time.
In Star VC, Lin Dong only accounts for 10% of the share.
Like Ren Zhenquan, who accounts for 25%, the income is 150 million.
Except for those particularly high-ranking stars, who can earn so much money in two years.
Besides, no one is good for a thousand days, no flower is red for a hundred days, and no matter how cowhide a star is, such as Fan Xuexue, she doesn't dare to guarantee that she can always be popular.
It's no wonder that celebrities are getting down to business.
"For the development of VC, I propose that everyone leave half of the funds for continued investment." Ren Zhenquan said.
Naturally, no one has an opinion on this kind of thing.
At this time, even if Ren Zhenquan said that he was a liar, no one was willing to break up.
Lin Dong found that even if he kept half of it to continue to invest, he could earn 31.5 million.
Make money, make money.
With these 3150 credits, his total personal cash reached 130.5 million.
Billionaires.
Most of this comes from salaries.
The two monster hunts took 20 million, 12 million mermaids, 15 million in Xinshu Mountain, 6 million for the ultimate challenge and 4.5 million for the Mekong River, plus 57.5 million.
Xinshu Mountain was originally 10 million, but after filming again and again, Lin Dong decided to increase everyone's salary.
When it was his turn, he gave himself a five-million-dollar increase.
Fifteen million is a lot, but it is still very far from the sky-high salary.
The entire crew is added together, and the salary does not exceed 100 million.
Compared with the total cost of 440 million, in fact, the salary budget of "Xinshu Mountain" is not too much.
The three endorsements of small biscuits, clothing, and spicy strips are 20.5 million together.
In addition, there is also "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" Lin Dong got 23 million dividends, and later took 10 million to invest in "Hong Kong is not easy".
That is, there is 13 million left in this money.
He had saved a little before that, almost 10 million.
Lin Dong is in the entertainment industry, and it is impossible to eat and drink in the company all day long.
Moreover, he also gave some money to the second elder in the Northeast.
So the current personal account balance is about 99 million.
Now Star VC has sent money.
So he has 130.5 million.
Well, he plans to take out half a million to eat something delicious.
You can also help others maintain Chen Xiaoman's car, not all of them are driving it, but they also have to spend money to maintain it.
If he wants to invest in Zhou Bo and Ning Hai's new play, he must come up with 132.5 million.
So he only needs to earn another 2.5 million.
Well, that's a very auspicious number.
It is not easy for Hong Kong to divide the accounts in a few days, and there will definitely be a large amount of money at that time, and Lin Dong does not have to worry about it at all now.
"Do you have any suggestions for your investment plan for the coming year?" After Ren Zhenquan finished the meeting, he asked everyone's opinions as usual.
In fact, except for Huang Da'an, none of the people here are investment experts.
So it's not appropriate to say anything at this point.
So everyone shook their heads.
But Ren Zhenquan didn't feel that he was going through a formality, his eyes stayed on Lin Dong's body.
Compared to the Kleist family's mess, their Star VC is the little brother.
From 2011 to now, in less than five years, Kleist has become a group enterprise across several industries.
Because there is no financing and no listing, there is no way to say exactly how much the company is worth.
But there is no doubt that tens of billions are perfectly fine.
Some people even say that a single meow claw network and meow tooth live broadcast, either of these two can be valued at tens of billions.
What do you say?
can only be more popular than people.
And the person who single-handedly created all this is like a harmless quail, squatting here and burying his head in food, not at all planning to contribute his experience in making money.
"What do you want me to do?" Putting down the roast pigeon in his hand, Lin Dong looked puzzled.
Did you just focus too much on eating and ignore something?
No, because he's been eating and having meetings all the time, he's developed a very good ability to do two things.
"Is there a better project to take us to play?" Ren Zhenquan simply didn't beat around the bush, he found that when dealing with people like Lin Dong, you have to make it clear.
"Didn't you say that our venture capital investors don't invest in our own family's business?" Lin Dong is very innocent.
Star VC's decision-making mechanism is very special, because celebrities have different situations and characteristics, and will encounter more complex situations than other VCs in the actual operation process.
Sometimes a project is good, but it is likely that there is a conflict between the endorsement of your own family and some of the provisions in the contract.
So from the very beginning, everyone unanimously decided that if anyone in Star VC endorses it, VC will be directly excluded.
Later, it was stipulated that even everyone's own industry could not be contaminated.
For example, if Huang Da'an gets a winery, the VC can't invest money, for example, Ren Zhenquan opens a new company, and the VC can't invest money.
While some items may be missed, it's an attitude that involves a matter of principle.
These principles are formulated by Ren Zhenquan, and he feels that this is the basis for the long-term survival of VC, otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a situation where everyone will continue to pull money from venture capital funds for personal gain.
In fact, Ren Zhenquan has a lot of companies under his name, and he really has the conditions to do such a thing.
It is precisely because of these principles that everyone is more and more at ease with Ren Zhenquan.
"Is there anything you are optimistic about, it's not the kind of project led by you Kleist, you can't rely on me alone to come up with ideas, there is a good opportunity, everyone has to be active." Ren Zhenquan said.
Lin Dong thought about it very seriously, and really thought of one.
"We invested in a movie before, and the production cost was said to be 350 million at that time, and we invested 300 million of them, and now the budget cost has been calculated to 540 million, which means that there is a gap of 190 million......"
He's talking about "Little Wrecking Ball".
Due to the increase in costs, Kleist's investment ratio has been continuously diluted, and the final proportion is 55%.
The high proportion of investment does not mean that the project belongs to Kleist, no matter how much is invested in this project, it is dominated by Huaying, so it is not a violation of the principle of Star VC.
If Star VC eats the remaining 190 million, when "Little Wrecking Ball" is released, it will be able to bring at least 678 million at the box office.
After removing the cost, there is still 487.8 million.
Earn 487.8 million in a few years, and no one will say that this transaction is not profitable.
However, Lin Dong was introducing the project, and suddenly found that everyone looked at him very strangely.
Only then did he realize that the reason why no one invested in this movie was because no matter what kind of capital it was, he couldn't look at it, and he felt that this thing was a compromise made by Huaying in order to fulfill the above expectations for science fiction movies.
It's Zheng Zhi's mission.
Everyone is not able to settle in advance like Boss Lin, so naturally they don't know that this movie, which has an investment of 540 million, has a total box office of 4.965 billion.
It's a joke when you say it.
"Forget it, let's put it aside for a while." Ren Zhenquan helped Lin Dong get a step, at least he didn't point at his nose and scold him for being insane.
Lin Dong was helpless, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
If there's a chance in the future—the assumption is that he doesn't get out of here and go back to the wizarding world before Wrecking Ball finds money—then he'll get some money and invest it himself.
"The industries that have been hot recently have spent too much money." Zhou Bo scratched his head, looking helpless.
He really doesn't have much investment talent, except for making some money by acting, he will follow Ren Zhenquan to mix some investment dividends.
If he had to talk about it, he might say that it would be better to go to Qingdao and invest in a seafood restaurant.
Well, it's so down-to-earth.
"It's more popular, what do you think of shared bicycles?" Lin Dong suddenly thought of this stubble again.
So, he introduced the three bike-sharing companies invested by Kleist, saying: "At the beginning of last year, the valuation of these three bike-sharing companies basically did not exceed 100 million, but now, one is 300 million, one is 350 million, and one has not yet carried out A round of financing, but I estimate that it will not be less than two or three hundred million." ”
"Bike sharing." Ren Zhenquan was shocked.
Start asking about the details, such as how to get in touch with these companies, what they care more about, the proportion and the capital, etc.
"The three that our Mr. Pei chose are relatively good, and now they are the third in the industry, if VC wants to invest, I think it should be early, and the profit margin may not be so big in the future." Lin Dong reminded.
He and Pei Qianlong discussed the issue of the sharing economy.
Now because it has just emerged, capital is like a shark swarming when it smells blood, but after all, there is no profit point in this industry, and the future development is full of ruggedness.
When the capital gradually cools down, it should not be as crazy as it is now.
Ren Zhenquan was obviously interested, and begged Lin Dong to give Pei Qianlong his contact information, planning to visit this Kleist's military advisor in person.
People in the investment circle, of course, can't know Pei Qianlong.
Shi Shanshan is Kleist's manager and is low-key, but Pei Qianlong, the vice president of strategy, doesn't know what low-key is.
He is in charge of public relations and legal affairs, and he fights lawsuits with people at every turn.
From the small network keyboard warrior to the large group company, it is really a typical person who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
What's more important is that people don't specialize in lawsuits at all, lawsuits are just a pastime when people have nothing to do, and people's main job is company management and strategic investment.
Recently, he even got a payment license in a lightning flash.
Just when everyone couldn't figure out what Kleist was going to do, the overwhelming publicity had come out, saying that he was going to send 500 million red envelopes to the national audience at the Spring Festival Gala.
Even Penguins and Ahri couldn't sit still and began to develop some targeted sniping strategies.
That's what people call people the man of the hour.
If you don't move, you will bite.
It hurts, it hurts.
Lin Dong naturally won't refuse, if Ren Zhenquan can really catch this wealth train, he can also make a lot of money.
As for the money that Pei Qianlong invested in the name of Kleist, it had little to do with Lin Dong himself.
He couldn't use that money to buy buns or Rolls-Royce.
Lin Dong collected 31.5 million here, and Huanqu Pictures also asked him to share the money.
"Hong Kong is Not Easy" has a total box office of 2.48 billion, second only to "Monster Hunting", which has a box office of 2.6 billion this year, and almost became the box office champion of the year, and it is also a new box office record for new Chinese films.
Among them, Wang Shunyu's marriage changed and played a big role.
The box office of this movie is twice that of "Thai is not easy", but the quality is actually not as good as "Thai is not easy".
Of course, this claim of quality is word-of-mouth.
If you look at it artistically and ideologically, "Hong Kong is Not Easy" is actually better.
Compared with the simple and funny "Thai is not easy" three years ago, "Hong Kong is not easy" has done something that is destined to offend people, that is, a middle-aged man has a greater right to speak, and he will have a stronger willingness to express, and the result is a self-consciousness awakening called "preaching".
This "Hong Kong is not easy" tells too many things that are not so comedy.
Pure comedies are not very likely to offend people, because they don't involve much of a outlook on life, and the biggest problem is nothing more than that they are not funny.
Xu Lang didn't plan to just make a comedy.
This middle-aged bald man directed for the second time, and he was no longer satisfied with just a smile from Bojun.
He has higher aspirations - I want to speak!
After watching the Spring Festival Gala sketches for so many years, everyone has no teacher and knows the routine of "preaching".
It's like a funny sketch, when the joke is almost shaken off in the second half, you will suddenly think of a sensational music.
At this time, everyone understands: the theme is coming, and this is about to enter the stage of sublimation.
Boss Lin also went to support a movie ticket.
After watching the whole scene, he had a feeling that this was a middle-aged man's attempt to cheat - he was tired of seeing the boredom of big, and he was unwilling to sacrifice for the mistress, it was just a shrinking bubble that couldn't be hard.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that the lineup of "Hong Kong is Not Easy" still failed to beat the box office record of "Monster Hunt".
Fortunately, this movie still has the familiar Xu Lang, as well as the familiar Wang Shunyu, even if there is a lack of Zhou Bo, it can still make everyone laugh very happily.
In addition, the news of Wang Shunyu's marriage change has not diminished so far, and "Hong Kong is Not Easy" has not lost too ugly.
Xu Lang's second drama not only can't talk about hitting the streets, but even undoubtedly makes him a 3 billion director, almost 4 billion.
