Waiting for a few ministerial-level people to leave, only Gu Cancan, Su Luo and Wang Xiaoxiao were left in the conference room.

Gu Cancan rubbed his eyes tiredly, and his tone was much more relaxed: "Sister Su Luo, what do you think?" ”

"Our cash flow is actually very healthy." Su Luo leaned on the back of his chair, pondered and said slowly: "At present, except for the loan of 30 million from the Bank of Beijing and the loan of 40 million in the bright future, we have no other debts in the Bright Era. In fact, the 30 million yuan loan of the Beijing Bank can be repaid at any time, but the Beijing Bank will not allow it to be repaid. ”

"There is a requirement for the number of shareholders of a listed company, and if it is listed on the main board, the number of shareholders shall not be less than 1,000. If it is in the small and medium-sized board, the number of people will be relaxed. Wang Xiaoxiao explained on the side.

Gu Cancan's knowledge reserve did not have this in this, and she asked Wang Xiaoxiao curiously: "Xiaoxiao, if a company wants to róng zī, does it have to sell equity?" ”

"In one hand, there are two ways for enterprises to róng zī: debt róng zī and equity róng zī." Wang Xiaoxiao explained: "Creditor's rights refer to loans through banks and credit companies. As the name suggests, equity róng zī is the sale of shares in a company in exchange for funds. ”

Gu Cancan nodded: "I understand these." Bright Times is an asset-light enterprise, and if you take out a bank loan, you shouldn't be able to borrow much, right? ”

She looked at Su Luo, Su Luo knew more about business matters.

Su Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought about it and said, "If you just need funds, you can actually borrow tens of millions from the bank." It's just that we are not short of money, if we want to go public, we must bring in some shareholders, right? ”

Gu Cancan thought about it, there is indeed no shortage of funds in the bright era now, but this is based on only operating existing projects, if according to her concept, movies, TV series and variety shows will start to be produced at the same time, then this funding gap is very large.

If the butterfly effect does not affect the appearance of the GEM, then there is still a year before the GEM will be launched in 2009, and Gu Cancan's plan is to make the bright era the first batch to be listed on the GEM and become the first listed film and television media stocks.

And if you want to go public successfully, you must have enough volume.

"Xiaoxiao, if we do equity róng zī, what proportion is appropriate? How do you do róng zī in general? Gu Cancan asked.

Wang Xiaoxiao pondered and said: "There is no exact standard for equity transfer, it depends on the company's plan and capital needs. Generally speaking, a successful company may need to go through four to five rounds or more before it can go public. Usually, the first round of róng zī is an angel round, which is mainly funded by angel investors, and the size of róng zī usually ranges from 2 million to 20 million yuan, and the company gives about 10% of the equity. If the startup company is doing well after the angel róng zī, there will be Vc to follow, and the early-stage venture capital usually invests more than 20 million yuan, and the company gives 20% to 30% equity. Then there is the subsequent expansion, ranging in size from 50 million to hundreds of millions of yuan, with about 10% per round until the company goes public. This is one of the cases I used to do with my teachers. However, the current development of the bright era has been on the right track, and the equity can no longer be transferred like this, I think it is enough to give up to 20% of the equity. ”

Gu Cancan nodded: "Our bright era is not a start-up company, and the angel round stage can be ignored. Now in terms of shares, Sister Su Luo has 10%, and the rest is in my hands. Sister Su Luo, we have come up with a share incentive plan within the company, and my plan is to sell 15%-20% of the shares. ”

"How many shares can you sell in one róng zī?" Wang Xiaoxiao was a little surprised and a little worried and said: "Then the words of róng zī in the later stage ......"

Gu Cancan shook his head: "This time, obtaining funds is one thing, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to allow certain interests to come in. If the follow-up development can be as I envisioned, the company will no longer be short of funds in the later stage, and we will no longer need to róng zī. ”

Whether you want to admit it or not, this world is always in the hands of a few people, even if Gu Cancan is a traverser, she must live within the rules of the game.

In the time that followed, the bright era was running at high speed.

Bright Times set up a temporary róng zī project team, Su Luo personally served as the team leader, Wang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Meiying and others were all members of the project team, and everyone began to frequently contact venture capital.

On this day, Su Luo had just returned to the company and sat down in the office when Wang Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and walked in.

During this time, things went smoothly, and they were in contact with several capital companies, and they showed great interest and enthusiasm for the high-quality bright era.

After careful selection negotiations, Bright Times decided to accept the first investment in Róng Zī, a company called Guosheng Capital.

The two briefly talked about Róng Zī, and the basic terms had been negotiated, but before signing the contract, the project leader of Guosheng Capital said that he wanted to meet Gu Cancan.

This is also the proper meaning, after all, Gu Cancan is the real major shareholder, and most of the shares are in her hands.

Gu Cancan was still filming, so he had to spare half a day to participate in the signing of the róng zī contract.

Today is Sunday, and Guosheng Capital has not rested, and is still negotiating projects, which shows that it also attaches great importance to this matter.

As the founder of the enterprise, Gu Cancan naturally wants to meet the reasonable requirements of the financier.

"You're all here." Gu Cancan smiled and pushed the door and walked in.

"Cancan, you change into formal clothes." Su Luo saw that Gu Cancan was dressed casually, and hurriedly reminded.

"Well, I have a few formal suits in my office, I'll go in and change my clothes." Gu Cancan agreed, returned to the office, looked through it, and changed into a white short-sleeved shirt with women's trousers.

With Su Luo Wang Xiaoxiao again, the three of them walked out of the room together, Su Luo beckoned to a certain office, and a total of five people who participated in the signing meeting, including legal affairs, finance, technology, and translation, walked out and followed behind them.

Eight people walked out of the company, drove three cars, and headed for Guomao East Road.

Gu Cancan, Su Luo, and Wang Xiaoxiao sat in the black Audi A8 at the front.

"Cancan, the first thing we went to meet was Liu Guoqing, the project leader of Guosheng Capital, this is his information, you can learn about it." Yang Tianzhen took out a document and handed it to Gu Cancan.

Gu Cancan tugged at the corners of his mouth, the name Liu Guoqing is really down-to-earth.

She didn't say much, and took the information to look at it carefully.

Liu Guoqing, born in 1984, graduated from Princeton University with a major in economics, and his first job after returning to China was Guosheng Capital.

"1984? This is still a young talent. Gu Cancan sighed.

"It's handsome." Su Luo smiled and answered.

Wang Xiaoxiao did not speak.

Gu Cancan smiled and said, "What's the matter, Sister Su Luo, do you want the old cow to eat tender grass?" Hey, speaking of which, Sister Su Luo, you've been single for a long time, haven't you? ”

Su Luo hurriedly stopped: "Stop!" ”

"Seriously, Sister Su Luo, although I haven't asked, but I actually care about you, what, Sister Su Luo, you should also consider the other half, otherwise you will officially step into the industry of leftover women." Gu Cancan played the role of urging marriage with evil taste.

Su Luo's face darkened: "Okay, okay, you hurry up and take a look at the other party's information, you may have to talk about it later." ”

"Okay, okay." Gu Cancan continued to look at the information: "Oh? This Liu Guoqing has also handled investments such as Giant Network, Huge Automobile, Neptune Chain Pharmacy, etc.! Awesome, amazing. ”

"The other party has rich experience in venture capital investment, and you must cheer up after a while." Su Luo admonished.

"Don't worry, I'll try to talk as little as possible." Gu Cancan quickly read the information, quietly leaned on his seat, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Soon the car stopped, and the driver's reminder sounded, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, it's here." ”

When Gu Cancan opened his eyes, he saw the National Electric Power Science and Technology Center on the other side of the road.

Guosheng Capital's office in Beijing is located on Huamao East Road, a luxurious-looking office building.

"Okay, let's go."

Gu Cancan straightened his clothes, got out of the car and walked to the building with the negotiation team of the Bright Times.

Guosheng Capital occupies the 19th and 20th floors of the office building, with luxurious decoration and real wealth.

Under the leadership of the front desk, Gu Cancan soon met with Liu Guoqing, who was in charge of the investment of this project.

Liu Guoqing has a handsome Chinese face, short inches, tall figure, with a pair of glasses, giving people an elegant feeling, looking like he is in his early twenties, he took the initiative to reach over.

"Mr. Liu is good, look up for a long time." Gu Cancan shook hands politely.

These investment bankers will suffer a big loss if they judge their status by their young age.

Many people have become partners in their twenties because they have invested in one or two projects, not to mention their wealth, and they control billions or tens of billions of venture capital!

"You're polite, Gu Cancan, hehe, it should be me who said Jiuyang, I have never had a chance to see me in the same capital, and I finally saw me today, which is more dazzling than on TV." Liu Guoqing smiled and said kind words, and invited Gu Cancan and the negotiation team into the conference room.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu praises falsely." A strange feeling rose in Gu Cancan's heart, the other party seemed to be much more interested in her than in business negotiations.

After the two sides sat down, after a few simple greetings, Wang Xiaoxiao planned to start introducing the cooperation.

Liu Guoqing said with a smile: "Gu, Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, leave the professional things to the professionals, and leave the contract signing to them, please come to my office to talk." ”

Gu Cancan's eyes widened slightly, what kind of routine is this?

Wang Xiaoxiao held the laser pointer in her hand tightly.

Su Luo also looked surprised.

The agreement between the two parties has been reached, and the conditions are very favorable, and it is precisely because it is so smooth that Su Luo has always had a feeling that it is not very real, and it was only then that she realized that the other party seemed to have a plan against Gu Cancan.

The two glanced at each other, thinking that after all, this was the capital, and Liu Guoqing invited two people, so there should be no accidents, so the two still agreed to Liu Guoqing's proposal.

Sitting down in Liu Guoqing's comfortable office, Gu Cancan and Su Luo still had doubts.

Liu Guoqing's beautiful secretary poured them a cup of tea and smiled and retreated.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your investment in our bright era, our future development plan, profit model, etc., I think your company has already understood, and I really thank you very much for your active participation and support of us." Su Luo spoke first.

Gu Cancan picked up the fragrant and refreshing red clay teacup and took a sip of Pu'er.

"Hehe, our Guosheng investment in the bright era is also well thought out, today about two people came, eh, especially Gu Xiao Jie, to be honest, I also want to know Gu Xiao Jie. I'm very curious about Gu Xiao Jie, he can create a brilliant era at a young age, and almost all the movies and TV series he makes are big hits, and his achievements are beyond the reach of his peers. Liu Guoqing said slowly.

Gu Cancan smiled politely: "Hehe, Mr. Liu has won the award, and I am also lucky." ”

"I'm very optimistic about the bright series. In our venture capital industry, what we value is the potential of the enterprise, and the bright future is also a project that we are very optimistic about. ”

Liu Guoqing's thinking was beating very loudly, and Gu Cancan said cautiously while thinking about the meaning of his words: "Bright Future conducted róng zī last year, and I won't consider it for the time being. ”

"That's a pity, if the bright future needs róng zī, please consider Guosheng first." Liu Guoqing said with a smile.

Gu Cancan nodded: "It must be." ”

She wondered what the other party was trying to say.

After chatting for a while, Gu Cancan finally couldn't help it and said, "Mr. Liu, you came to me this time, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Liu Guoqing laughed twice and said kindly: "Yes and no." This cooperation with Bright Times is based on a win-win situation for both of us, and investing in Bright Times is also a very good investment opportunity for Guosheng. In addition, the reason why we can reach an investment intention with your company so quickly is also because of a person's lobbying. ”

Gu Cancan and Su Luo glanced at each other, and Su Luo opened his mouth and said, "Is it convenient for Mr. Liu to tell us who it is?" ”

"Hehe, this is not a secret, and he didn't ask to hide it from Gu Xiaojie......"

"Is it Qu Hongyu?" Gu Cancan asked suddenly.

Liu Guoqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Gu Xiao Jie is really smart. ”

Su Luo then understood.

In the cooperation treaty they reached, Guosheng China invested 30 million soft sister coins, obtained 5% of the shares of Bright Times, and made a valuation of 600 million yuan for Bright Times. Of course, one of the conditions is that the 5% stake cannot be diluted for two years.

This valuation exceeded the expectations of the Brilliant Times, and most importantly, it provided a high embankment for subsequent róng zī, which can only be higher in the future.

She had doubts in her heart before, the cooperation with Guosheng Capital was too smooth, compared with the harsh cooperation conditions of other venture capital, Guosheng's requirements were simply **, which is extremely rare in the capital market.

Now I finally understand that it was promoted by Qu Hongyu.

Gu Cancan's expression changed, he quickly calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "Then I really want to thank him." By the way, the relationship between Mr. Liu and Qu Hongyu? ”

The capital market is ruthless, and it cannot be said that because of Qu Hongyu's lobbying, Guosheng Investment made such easy concessions and profits.

Liu Guoqing said with a smile.
