........

"Mr. Zhang."

"I have learned from Minghui about ByteDance's idea for the second round of financing, and I understand your concerns and expectations."

After clinking glasses, Fang Ziheng took the lead in speaking, first using the scene words as a foreshadowing.

Zhang Yimin's ambition is extraordinary, as can be seen from his repeated refusal to take a stake in ByteDance.

Compared with Liu Qiangdong of Jingdong and Huang Zhen of Pinduoduo, Zhang Yimin is more rigid and confident.

The reason is simple.

ByteDance's products, once developed, can create their own traffic.

He only needs to introduce a little capital injection from an Internet company in the previous rounds of financing, so as to complete the identity change for ByteDance, and officially enter the Internet field while draining traffic.

In layman's terms, it is to join the circle of the Internet field, and at the same time release a signal of goodwill to the outside world.

You see, I accepted the injection.

In the future, when the company grows and grows, it will continue to find Internet big brothers to lead the investment.

Released with goodwill, everyone is a circle person, even if peers want to engage in ByteDance, they will weigh it.

In this way, more room for development is obtained.

However, only Fang Ziheng knew that Zhang Yimin's move was developing in a low-key manner, and he didn't want to attract the attention of Teng Xun and Ali.

This guy's gaze is very far away.

It is also reasonable to reject the second round of leadership of Hengyu Media.

But reasonableness is reasonable, business is business, and Fang Ziheng can't give up the big golden pig of ByteDance because he understands.

In the second round of financing, it is necessary for Hengyu Media to increase its shareholdings!

Zhang Yimin is also very clear about this.

He did not relax his vigilance because of Fang Ziheng's words, but cheered up even more.

"Fang Dong, thank you for your understanding."

He smiled and said seriously: "You can rest assured, as long as Hengyu Media gives up the second round of leading the investment, ByteDance will ensure that Hengyu Media's shares will not be diluted, and as long as you are willing, any suitable one can maintain 20% of the shares!" ”

When he said this, Zhang Yimin mentioned it in his heart, for fear that Fang Ziheng would not agree.

Fang Ziheng didn't speak in time, picked up the wine and touched a glass with Zhang Yimin.

Then he fell into a deep groan.

The atmosphere at the table also cooled down because of his silence.

Zhang Yimin pretended to be relaxed, eating vegetables while paying attention to Fang Ziheng's expression.

If, the other party really doesn't agree!

Do you want hard steel?

If it is hard steel, it will definitely offend Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media.

ByteDance, it still takes time!

Zhang Yimin's mind flowed, he thought about all the problems and went through them again in his heart.

Fang Ziheng didn't know Zhang Yimin's thoughts, and met his expectant eyes for a moment, and said softly: "Mr. Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, ByteDance is going to sell 10% to 15% of its shares in this second financing, right?" ”

"That's right, according to the estimate, only 10% of the financing is expected."

Zhang Yimin nodded slightly, and then explained: "It will take at least three to four years for bytes to fully develop, and three or four rounds of financing will be carried out, which is another big share." ”

Little fart!

Fang Ziheng laughed secretly in his heart, did he really not know the situation of bytes?

In each round of financing, you Lao Zhang sells at most 10% of the shares, and you don't do 1 more point.

The old man instigated!

In the previous life, ByteDance adopted a VIE equity structure, and according to the industry negative list, no foreign investor can directly control the company, and can only own 49% of the shares at most.

This structure has also become Zhang Yimin's greatest confidence.

Among ByteDance's 8 rounds of financing, except for the angel round and the third round led by Qihoo 360, the other six rounds of financing were led by foreign investors.

Because of the VIE structure, many foreign investors can only give up their greed, do not participate in the management of the company, and only enjoy the right to profit from ByteDance.

Zhang Yimin signed various agreements with these foreign businessmen, allowing them to hand over all the management rights of shares to him.

Hehe..

I remember that when ByteDance concept stocks were listed, it was disclosed that Zhang Yimin occupied 98.8 shares.

This news is fake at first glance.

After eight rounds of financing, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Yimin to still have so many shares.

But because of the VIE equity structure, on the surface he is indeed the agent of these shares, and no one in the entire ByteDance company can shake his status and right to speak.

It is precisely with these equity management that he is not afraid of Tengxun, Ali, or any foreign capital.

Dividends can be given to you, I only need equity representatives!

Many investors have nothing to gain except for an empty equity asset and annual profit dividends.

It can be seen that Zhang Yimin is domineering!

In this life, Hengyu Media grabbed the angel round of investment and signed a follow-up priority investment agreement.

This priority agreement made Zhang Yimin a little jealous, and he could not use the VIE equity structure.

Otherwise, people can not hang him Fang Ziheng, so why don't they vote!

The two met today, and Zhang Yimin wanted to have a good talk with Fang Ziheng in a sophisticated way.

Or take a good look at it, and ask Hengyu Media to raise his hand.

It is impossible to lift.

Even if you want to lift, it's not this way.

Fang Ziheng already had a plan in his heart, this would not hide his intentions, but directly amplify the move!

"Mr. Zhang, my request is very simple, Hengyu will increase his stake in ByteDance again, while maintaining the follow-up financing share and not diluting the original shares!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yimin sighed in his heart, his expression changed, and his eyelids jumped.

Finished.

Fang Ziheng really had the idea of increasing his shares.

He secretly complained, put down the fast son in his hand, and said reluctantly: "I don't know, how many shares does Fang Dong want to increase?" ”

The two of them were in person, and it was not good for him to refuse directly.

In his heart, he even hoped that Fang Ziheng would open his mouth and force him to use Tuo Byte to go back and discuss with the team on the grounds that he couldn't call the shots.

As soon as he gets out of this gate, he has a chance to breathe and can reject Hengyu Media openly.

And then the eggs.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality gave him a bony blow.

As soon as he saw his reluctant expression, Fang Ziheng knew that he was stable, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I only need to increase my holdings by 10%!"

Moreover, I can give Mr. Zhang an unexpected offer, which will definitely satisfy you and your team! ”

"Oh . . . What price? ”

Zhang Yimin took a light breath, his luck was broken, and he didn't have much interest in the price.

Although he is not a rich-level figure, he can take out millions to start a business, which naturally satisfies a better material life.

At the same time, he didn't believe that Fang Ziheng could offer a price that made him happy.

Just when Zhang Yimin was concerned and dissatisfied, Fang Ziheng smiled confidently and slowly spit out a number.

"20 million US dollars!"

"Mr. Zhang, Hengyu led the second round of financing of ByteDance with a price of 20 million US dollars!"

How much?

Zhang Yimin's heart was shocked, and he looked at Fang Ziheng with wide eyes.

$20 million.

Really fake!

He came to his senses in an instant, and the relatives and dissatisfaction in his heart just now had disappeared without a trace.

You must know that the angel round of financing of Hengyu Media has been very generous, and the 30 million soft girl coins only account for 20% of ByteDance's shares.

Before coming, his original expectation for the second round of financing was to replace an investment of 10 million US dollars in an Internet company with a 10% stake.

And Fang Ziheng's quotation was directly flipped over.

There are 120 million more soft girl coins than in the first round.

And only 10% share!

Once ByteDance has these 20 million US dollars, it can burn for a year or two.

When the money is burned, he can even skip the third round of financing and directly start the fourth round of valuation financing.

For general Internet projects, the second round of valuation is calculated in millions of dollars, and the third round of valuation is calculated in tens of millions of dollars.

In the fourth round, it was ten times again, and the valuation was calculated at more than 100 million US dollars.

In an instant, Zhang Yimin came to his senses.

Today, he had a lot of luck.

Skipping the third round of financing is equivalent to his own 10% more shares of ByteDance.

Call..

Zhang Yimin took a deep breath and smiled happily.

He stood up with his wine glass and respectfully toasted Fang Ziheng: "Fang Dong, thank you for your care, don't worry, I know in my heart that the lead investor of ByteDance's second round of financing definitely belongs to Hengyu Media!" ”

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, happy cooperation!"

Fang Ziheng smiled sincerely, raised his glass and touched it, and drank it all.

Zhang Yimin may not need to use money to improve his life, but he wants to control more shares in the entrepreneurial process.

Fang Ziheng's approach is both simple and crude.

It's just to smash it with money!

Reducing the number of ByteDance financings at a high premium has forcefully inflated ByteDance's valuation.

By the time of the next round of the third round of financing, ByteDance has already completed the early accumulation, and it is completely possible to quote the valuation that can only be achieved in the fourth round of financing to the outside world.

One in and one out, Zhang Yimin not only set aside 10% more shares, but also accelerated the development of ByteDance.

It's simply a win-win.

No, it should be said that it is a win-win-win.

Fang Ziheng also won 10% of the shares in advance, and there is no need to increase his holdings in the follow-up, he only needs to maintain follow-up investment and maintain the original shares from being diluted.

In the future, as a mainland investor, Hengyu owns 30% of the shares of ByteDance, and can easily intervene in part of the management and operation, and enjoy the pan-entertainment business assistance brought by ByteDance, as well as the huge traffic generated by it.

As long as he doesn't shake Zhang Yimin's dominant position, he is happy to cooperate with Hengyu Media.

A traffic producer, the king of the short video track.

A boutique content producer, the top player in the entertainment industry, the cooperation between the two will inevitably erase different sparks.

The next scene was a joyful one.

Fang Ziheng took out an invitation letter and invited Zhang Yimin and his team to attend the premiere of "The Great Wall" on January 24.

........

Leaving the palace.

Study room on the second floor.

Fang Ziheng leaned lazily on the boss's chair, moved his laptop to his side, and browsed the movie data of the week.

Zeng Li came back from Xiao Yueyue and lived in the baby room next door that was made in advance.

When Xiao Yueyue first came home, he, a father, naturally came upside down, and happily became a daughter slave.

In the past few days, as long as Xiao Yueyue wakes up, she will be able to see her father appear in front of her, and she will not stop 'Yi Yi Ya Ya'.

Fang Ziheng guessed that his daughter must be very happy to see her father and greet her in a baby's unique way.

Zeng Li started a journey of self-cultivation, and he could not go out until a month later.

Fang Rou returned to Fang Ziheng and resumed her role as her life assistant.

Her mother stayed behind and continued to be in charge of the daily life of the mother and daughter in the palace.

Fang Ziheng offered a salary of 20,000 yuan a month, which made Fang Rou's mother very satisfied.

Her sons and daughters are here, her wife has passed away, and she doesn't miss anything else in her hometown in Yichun except for a few brothers and sisters.

Thinking of Bao'er's daughter, Fang Ziheng slowly cheered up.

The sooner you finish your work, the sooner you can go over to see your daughter.

This week, from January 7th to January 13th, a total of 8 movies will be released in theaters.

There is no doubt that the weekly box office champion is "Chinese Partner".

The movie was released for 15 days, and this week it reported a box office of 180 million, with a total box office of 750 million, and there is a great hope of breaking through the 1 billion level.

Lao Mouzi is in the limelight and has been wildly praised by the media.

praised him for not only successfully defending the title of 'film master', but also immortalizing the sword, and erecting a mountain of commercial film masters.

There are famous actors in the entertainment industry, one is counted as one, and they all send blessings and congratulations to Lao Mouzi.

The shameless sycophancy makes the melon-eating masses feel embarrassed across the screen.

Even Zhang Weiping, who has long since retired from the circle, also sent congratulations to Lao Mouzi through Weibo, hoping that he will go further and further on the road of film career.

In addition, the three leading actors, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Lu Yi, have the biggest profits from the movie.

Among the three, Huang Xiaoming, who played Cheng Dongqing, occupied the most space and was praised by the media many times, saying that his acting skills were extraordinary and he proved himself again.

】

Taking this opportunity, Huang Xiaoming also stepped into the top movie celebrity seat, alongside Liu Ye, Deng Chao, and Baoqiang.

Under these four people, it was the turn of Chen Kun, Lu Yi, and Huang Bo to be the three Mesozoic.

Wu Jing and Xu Zheng were promoted to directors, but they were deliberately skipped by the media.

The runner-up at the weekly box office is a Republic of China kung fu movie directed by Hong Kong Island director Wong Ka-wai.

"The Grandmaster"!

The movie was released for 5 days, and the weekly box office was 135 million, which was 30 million less than the previous life.

There is no way, there is "Chinese Partner" in front of him, and Lao Mouzi's fame is greater than that of Wang Jiawei.

The joining of Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, and Liu Qianqian also easily crushed the heroine of "The Grandmaster".

The third place is Uncle Long's "Zodiac", which is old and strong, and its endurance can be called the top in China.

The movie was released for 25 days, and it still hit the box office of 68 million this week, and the total box office has also arrived

790 million.

Compared with the previous life, the total box office of the movie is only 30 million, and it has not been affected much.

Huayi spared no effort to publicize and publicize, and Hengyu Media helped to publicize, making "Zodiac" half of its feet step into the box office level of 900 million.

Huayi's stock price has also raised its head, and the total market value has recovered to 56 billion, just waiting for the release of "Journey to the West", it can break through the peak of 60 billion again.

These days, Wang Zhongjun finally has a smile on his face, and he has said several times in front of the media that he will hold a grand celebration banquet to help the film exceed 1 billion.

Fourth place: "Big Shanghai" starring Chow Yun-fat, with a weekly box office of 12 million and a total box office of 110 million.

A proper street movie!

Fa Ge wore the hat of 'box office poison' on his head, as if he couldn't take it off, and was crazy ridiculed by the media.

Another movie controlled by Hengyu, "The Four Famous Catches 2" was released for 38 days, with a total box office of 1.253 billion.

It has become the third film to break 1.2 billion at the box office in the mainland market of Chinese films, and the only martial arts movie to break 1.2 billion at the box office.

Since I got the key, the movie still has seven days to finish, and now it has a single-day box office of more than 1 million every day.

1.26 billion, no problem!

In the global market, "Four Famous Catches 2" is slightly weaker than "Dragon Quest".

120 million in North America.

30 million dollars in Asia.

50 million dollars in other overseas regions.

The total overseas box office is worth 200 million US dollars.

Martial arts movies have "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" Yuzhu in front, even if there is a foundation of "Four Famous Catches 1", it is difficult to cause a big explosion overseas.

However, 200 million US dollars is not a small amount.

In Deng Wendi's words, there are only a handful of Chinese films that can hit 200 million US dollars in the global film market.

"Wow wow.. Wow.."

Just as Fang Ziheng took out his mobile phone and Mei Zizi calculated the income of "The Four Famous Catches 2", a penetrating cry came into his ears from the next room.

Xiao Yueyue woke up.

Fang Ziheng was clever and stood up.

The whole person was like a bullet yellow, and swooped to the back of the study door.

In the next second, the door opened and closed, and his person had already appeared in the hallway.

That spirit, more than he will come to the crew!
