Chapter 184 Holding Happy Laughter
Happy Laughter, founded in 2018, is full name Yanjing Happy Twist Entertainment Culture Media Co., Ltd., founder Liu Chen.
With the purpose of "serving the people's entertainment", they pioneered the concept of "Chinese New Year stage play", and have developed into a new type of entertainment company that continuously creates high-quality original comedy content.
Happy Laughter has explored the cross-screen integration development model and created and produced 36 stage plays, of which 14 are original.
In 2020, the number of performances nationwide exceeded 1,000 for the first time, and over the years, the performance footprint has covered more than 120 cities across the country, repeatedly creating miracles of stage performances, bringing infinite joy to many audiences.
The happy jokes are mainly stage plays, so they are well-known but not particularly high.
It wasn't until the 2021 Spring Festival Happy Jokes team appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time that everyone really recognized this company.
In the following year, they frequently appeared in many satellite TV and variety shows, creating an "experimental" innovative comedy.
All of this is thanks to the script written for them at the 2021 Spring Festival Gala.
When he heard that Li Xia's Xiami Interactive Entertainment Media was going to buy his own company, the founder of Happy Laughter initially reacted as a refusal.
The company's development this year is very good, except for the departure of individual employees, there has been no crisis, and the income has increased several times.
In this case, no one would choose to sell the company.
Lin Feng had already expected this situation, but he was confident that he had reason to convince the other party.
Lin Feng was not in a hurry to offer Zhang Chen a bargaining chip for the acquisition.
I just explained to him first, the pros and cons after being acquired.
"The year of happy laughter has developed well, but it is still a small company without much resources."
"Part of this resource also comes from Xiami Entertainment, a cultural media company wants to develop, the most important thing is capital and resources."
"Xiami Mutual Entertainment now wants resources and resources, and funds and funds, if Xiaodian really wants to develop, the best choice is to join Xiami Entertainment."
"We, Mr. Li, don't want to buy all the shares of your company, we only need 51 percent."
"Mr. Liu seems to have lost control of the company, but in fact it is not, Mr. Li said that under normal circumstances, he will not interfere with the development of laughter, and the laughter is still based on independent development."
"How busy Mr. Li is, I believe you also know that he really doesn't have time to take care of so many things, otherwise he wouldn't have hired me as a manager."
"In the end, the joke is not only what Mr. Liu said, but also the resources and support of Xiami Entertainment."
"In fact, sometimes the control of the company is not important, the most important thing is to make money, do you say Mr. Liu?"
"It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, I believe you don't need me to elaborate, you understand!"
Liu Chen fell into deep thought.
It is indeed good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, but it is also easy to be slowly taken off by others.
How can there be 51% today, and next time I will have a share dilution and kick myself out.
This matter seems to be beneficial to everyone in the company.
The only one who is more likely to lose is yourself.
"Actually, the most valuable thing in your company is a few actors from the laughing point team." Lin Feng took a sip of the teacup and enjoyed it very much, and continued:
"Actually, my initial suggestion was to poach them all."
"In this way, you only need to pay them liquidated damages, which can save a lot of money."
"However, this proposal was vetoed by Mr. Li on the spot."
"He said that it was too unkind to do this, and he couldn't just care about the lives of others for the sake of his own interests."
"You can't believe me Lin Feng's personality, but you still have to believe in Mr. Li's personality!"
Lin Feng's words seemed to be praising Li Xia's character.
In fact, it is a subtle threat.
I'll tell you clearly, I can poach all the artists in your company.
But Mr. Li disagreed.
Just because he had this attitude before doesn't mean he will do the same in the future.
If you don't agree, you can't tell.
Lin Feng had all said this, and Liu Chen felt that he didn't have a good choice.
"I wonder at what price you are going to buy 51 percent of our company's shares?"
"I've been on track to do this a long time ago, and I promise to satisfy Mr. Liu." Lin Feng said, took a contract from his bag and handed it to Liu Chen.
Looking at the contract handed over by Lin Feng, Liu Chen sighed secretly, "It's really coming!" ”
The purchase price given by Li Xia is much higher than the valuation of Happy Laughter.
The terms of the contract are very beneficial to the happy laughter.
There is even a special listing in it that Xiami Interactive Entertainment Media does not directly participate in the management of Laugh Point Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Perhaps it is controlled by Xiami Mutual Entertainment, which is a good choice.
"Well, let me think about it for two days."
"I'll ask for the opinions of the company's employees again."
Lin Feng smiled: "No problem, I'll wait for Mr. Liu's good news." ”
After Lin Feng left, Liu Chen convened an emergency meeting with all the members of the company.
He told everyone the news that Xiami Mutual Entertainment was going to buy Happy Laughter.
I would like to ask for your opinions.
To his surprise, most people agreed.
The resources for happy laughter are limited, and the high coffee level has eaten almost all the resources.
The rest of the people can only suffer, if it is really acquired by Xiami Entertainment, then the situation will be different.
Who doesn't know that the most important thing Li Xia lacks now is resources, and no matter how many people take the initiative to send resources to their doors, no one wants them.
Comparing the two, most people naturally want the company to be controlled by Li Xia.
Liu Chen felt that he had nothing to insist on.
At least sell it now, and you can still have a good price.
Two days later, Liu Chen and Lin Feng signed a share transfer contract.
Xiami Interactive Entertainment officially became Happy Laughter Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Liu Chen is still the general manager of the company.
Li Xia didn't know the process of Lin Feng's acquisition of Happy Laughter.
However, Lin Feng's efficiency made Li Xia very satisfied.
Being a boss is like that, a lot of things don't need to know the process because they only look at the results.
The fact that Xiami Mutual Entertainment has become the largest shareholder of Happy Laughter, although neither party has announced it to the public.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the media soon exposed the incident.
This incident quickly became a topic of conversation among netizens on the Internet.
"I used to acquire a Guoman studio, and now I hold a comedy company, Xiami Interactive Entertainment Media is really diversified!"
"Li Xia has made a lot of money this year, these are all small fights, I guess he will have a big move next year."
"Huh! I'm going to make so much money like him, and the next thing I'm going to do is to bring down Dream Entertainment Media! ”
"What you can think of, people can't think of? I guess this is already in the plan. ”
"You say, when Xin Meiqi sees Li Xia now, does her intestines have to regret it!"
"How can there be so much to regret, if Xin Meiqi doesn't come out like that, Li Xia probably doesn't have the current achievements!"
"That's right, Xin Meiqi will only affect my Xia God's steps to become a god."
