Chapter Seventy-Three: The Pony Gallops!

In June, Slope No. 1 Private Equity Fund has successfully raised funds.

Zheng Wentong went to Jinmen City four or five times, and finally negotiated with CCB International, and they transferred 15% of the equity held by Pony Galloping to Slope Capital at one time.

Slope Capital is open to CCB International's participation in the B round of financing of Puhai Connect, and Yu Jiajia and Li Meng are tired, and they will return to the wine game.

There are many second-generation officials in CCB International, all of whom are sent in by local tycoons from various provinces to gild, and foreign investment banks especially like to hire the children of mainland officials.

Get the equity, slope capital in Yanjing. Law. The court sued Li Li, Li Ping and Jin Yan, demanding that the three of them repay their debts, and that the three of them repurchase the 15% equity held by Slope Capital at a price of 635 million yuan, and fulfill the VAM agreement signed by Li Ming, Li Li and Li Ping with CCB International, otherwise they would go through the judicial auction procedure and request the auction of the equity of Pony Galloping held by the three people.

The onlookers watched the jokes there and felt that the slope capital was not high and thick, and CCB International was the country. Capital background, of course Li Li and Li Ping have nothing to do, you are an investment company in Puhai, and you go to Yanjing to fight a lawsuit, and others are just a procrastination, which is enough to kill you.

Slope Capital filed a lawsuit with the Yanjing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, demanding that Li Li, Li Li and Jin Yan assume the obligation to repurchase the shares and fulfill the VAM agreement signed by Li Ming, Li Li and Li Ping with CCB International.

After Li Ping and Jin Yan reached a civil mediation with Slope Capital respectively, Li Li knew that Li Ping and Jin Yan had stood in the Unification Alliance and betrayed her.

The current situation is that Slope Capital has reached a civil mediation with Jin Yan and Li Ping, no longer claiming debts from the two of them, and now only requires Li Li to bear her personal part of the debts, totaling 200 million yuan.

In October last year, Li Li and Li Ping, two sisters, teamed up with CCB International to remove Chairman Jin Yan and Li Li took over as the chairman of Pony Galloping.

As a result, it has been less than a year now, and Li Ping and Jin Yan have stood together again and reached mediation with Slope Capital in advance, so that Slope Capital will only sue Li Li alone.

Li Li didn't want to compromise, and was going to drag out the lawsuit for a year or two, and then implement it for another year or two, anyway, she didn't plan to be obedient.

As a result, when she asked someone to inquire, she found that Slope Capital also had a background in Yanjing, and it was not that the strong dragon could not suppress the head snake, but that the fierce dragon crossed the river.

The big guy behind the Li family went in last year, and if there is a lawsuit, Li Li has almost no chance of winning.

In the end, Li Li was forced to have no choice but to take the initiative to contact Slope Capital for reconciliation. In the end, Slope Capital acquired 100% of the shares of Pony Juan Teng for 453.3 million yuan, and the equity valuation of Pony Gallop Company was 1 billion yuan.

Pony Jubilant holds 45.33% of the shares of Pony Galloping, and after this battle, Slope Capital became the first shareholder of Yanjing Pony Pentium Culture Media Co., Ltd., plus the 15% stake acquired from CCB International, Slope Capital holds a total of 60.33% of Pony Pentium's equity.

On July 10, Puhai Guotou took over a total of 10% of the shares of venture capital companies such as Kaixin Venture Capital, Xinzhongli, and Qingke at a price of 160 million yuan, helping these venture capital structures that had participated in the A round of financing of Pony Gallop to leave the market.

On July 15, Slope Capital held a shareholders' meeting, at which Slope Capital and other shareholders present proposed to remove Chairman Li Li, and nominated Zhong Lifang, former vice chairman of Pony Gallop, as chairman and general manager, and Ms. Jin Yan, founder of Pony Gallop, as honorary chairman and not participate in the actual operation and management of the company.

Li Li and Li Ping's qualifications as directors were rejected and they withdrew from the board of directors, and Zhong Lifang, Zheng Wentong, Zeng Pengyu, Gao Han and Fu Yi were elected as new directors at the shareholders' meeting, and Zheng Wentong was appointed as executive director.

Li Li and Li Ping were all dismissed from their positions in Pony Galloping, but surprisingly, Li Ping's husband Li Ligong continued to serve as the general manager of Pony Galloping TV series.

Gao Han served as the deputy general manager and secretary to the chairman of Pony Gallop, Fu Yi served as the financial director of Pony Gallop, Guo Yan served as the general manager of Pony Pictures, Zeng Pengyu served as the general manager of Pony Gallop New Media Co., Ltd., and Zong Shuai served as the general manager of Pony Gallop Performing Arts Agency Co., Ltd.

The shareholders' meeting decided to divest the Pony Cinema business, and in the future, Pony Gallop will form a business structure of "advertising + movie + TV series + new media".

Cui Liwei, the former general manager of Pony Galloping Cinemas, serves as the general manager of New Remington Advertising Co., Ltd.

According to the latest shareholding of natural person shareholders, Zhong Lifang holds 4% of the shares, Ning Hao holds 2.5% of the shares, Zhang Yibai holds 1%, Zong Shuai holds 1.2% of the shares, Liu Heng holds 1% of the shares, Kong Ergou holds 0.8% of the shares, Shu Huan holds 0.5% of the shares, Lan Xiaolong holds 0.5% of the shares, and Jin Yan holds 1% of the shares.

Li Li and Li Ping, two sisters, have transferred all their shares in Pony Galloping.

Up to now, the signed directors of Pony Galloping are Ning Hao and Zhang Yibai, and the screenwriters are Liu Heng, Kong Ergou, Shu Huan and Lan Xiaolong. The signed actors are: Shen Teng and Sha Yi.

On July 25, Pony Pentium announced the acquisition of Yanjing Junshe Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Yanjing Zhengcheng Culture Media Co., Ltd., which officially became subsidiaries of Pony Pentium.

On July 30, Zhong Lifang said in an interview with reporters that Pony Galloping will independently produce two movies this year, "Passing by Your World" and "Crazy Alien".

"Passing by Your World" is directed by Zhang Yibai and written by Zhang Jiajia.

"Crazy Alien" is directed by Ning Hao and co-written by Liu Cixin and Shu Huan. The total production cost of the two films exceeded 300 million yuan.

On August 2, Zheng Wentong, who rarely shows up, accepted an exclusive interview with a Sina Entertainment reporter in Yanjing.

"We noticed that Slope Capital has become the majority shareholder of Junshe Culture Media Co., Ltd. in January this year, can we think that Mr. Zheng has begun to plan to gain control of Pony Galloping at the beginning of the year?" The reporter's first question was very sharp.

"We didn't think about getting a controlling stake in Pony Gallop at first, but we did want to get involved in the film and television industry and make some investments."

"Later, after communication and understanding with Zhong Lifang, our company also wanted to take over the brand of Pony Galloping and retain the golden signboard of Brother Dog (Li Ming)."

"Some former employees who have left the pony galloping company said that Slope Capital is just a company with no film and television-related background, with financial investment as its main business, and is a 'layman' investor, what do you think of this kind of remarks?" The reporter asked again.

"We are really a newcomer to the film and television industry. As the controlling shareholder, we have full trust in the management team headed by Zhong Lifang. After we clarified the equity, we agreed very much with the production plan proposed by Li Fang, and gave financial support as soon as possible. ”

"We invest in Pony Gallop because we are ready to hold the equity of this company for a long time, just like SoftBank invests in Ahri and MIH invests in Penguin, we pursue a long-term investment philosophy, we will not be outsiders leading insiders, and we will not sell any equity in Pony Gallop within three years."

"Some Pony Galloping internal employees said that Zhong Lifang will emphasize within the staff that Pony Galloping will reopen the road to listing, what do you think about this?" The reporter asked again.

"As for whether to go public next year, the year after or the year after tomorrow, we are not in a hurry, and we have not set a timetable for the management team headed by Zhong Lifang. Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, things should be done one by one, and our goal this year is to achieve the overall profitability of the pony galloping company under the premise of paying off corporate debts. ”

"In addition to Ms. Jin Yan's retention of the honorary chairmanship, Li Li and Li Ping's sisters all withdrew from the board of directors and transferred all the shares of Pony Galloping under their names, because Mr. Zheng did not recognize the management ability of the two of them?" The reporter asked.

"Since Mr. Li's death, Pony Gallop has experienced a lot of turmoil in the past year, and the official seal of Pony Galloping, Pony Gallop and the original and duplicate business licenses of all subsidiaries under his name have all disappeared."

"We don't want to fall back into the whirlpool of family infighting, but we still want to thank Li Li and Li Ping for their outstanding contributions in creating Pony Galloping Company."

"Ms. Jin Yan has made it clear that she will not be involved in the specific operation of Pony Galloping, and she will focus on taking care of her daughter and running her vegetarian restaurant."

"She very much welcomes the acquisition of Yanjing Zhengcheng Culture Media Co., Ltd. by the new pony galloping, does this mean that you intend to downplay the influence of the Li family?"

Zheng Wentong shook his head, "If you say that the Li family's influence on the pony galloping is only concentrated on Mr. Li alone, and it has nothing to do with Li Ming's other relatives." ”

"And not all the relatives of the Li family have left their management positions, such as Li Ping's lover Li Ligong continues to serve as the general manager of the Pony Galloping TV series."

"But I see that Pony Gallop doesn't seem to have any plans for a TV series this year?"

"The main thing is that there is no good script, if it is a good investment project, we will definitely start filming."

"We noticed that Slope Capital is also the majority shareholder of Noon Sunshine Film and Television Co., Ltd., will there be a business conflict between Noon Sunshine and Pony Galloping?"

"Pony galloping is relatively large, mainly producing movies, supplemented by TV dramas, Noon Sunshine is mainly producing TV series, the film business has not been involved for the time being, and there is no conflict between the two companies at present." Zheng Wentong patiently answered.

"I heard that Pony Galloping is going to produce two variety shows, Ms. Jin Yan helped CCTV produce the variety show "Lucky 52" before, you will still work with Yang. Do you want to continue to cooperate? ”

"We are Central. Depending on the long-term partner of the advertising business, as for variety shows, I don't know very well, and I need you to ask about the pony galloping aspect. ”

After watching the interview, Zhong Lifang shook her head, selling Pony Cinemas and producing two movies and variety shows came from Zheng Wentong's idea, but as a result, there was no one who molded Slope Capital into a major shareholder who did not interfere in the company's operation.

As soon as Zheng Wentong's interview came out, the capital market's valuation of Pony Galloping was further bullish, and the latest valuation of Pony Galloping has reached about 2.4 billion. The market value of the 10% Pony Galloping equity taken over by Puhai Guotou has exceeded 240 million, with a floating profit of 90 million!
