Chapter 189: The Storm is Coming
Wang Wei and Zhao Yichuan reached a verbal agreement on taking a stake in Amazon.
Yes, someone had a bad taste and suggested that Zhao Yichuan change the name of his e-commerce website to "Amazon".
Of course, the justification on the face is impassioned -
"The Amazon is not only the world's largest river, it is many times larger than any other river, and it can entail any other river; This means that your website will become the world's largest e-commerce site, and it will be wiped out by any other e-commerce site! ”
Zhao Yichuan was greatly encouraged by this expectation and immediately agreed.
Well, at a price of 500 million, maybe he will change the company's name to "Sunmayr", and he agrees.
Even in the Internet boom where it seems that every minute a new company named ".com" goes public and raises hundreds of millions, the news that Amazon has raised 500 million at one time is enough to make people's jaws drop.
Zhao Yichuan has foreseen that when the agreement is officially signed, Amazon will surpass the limited user base for the first time, enter the public eye, become the focus of the Internet industry and even the national media, and further expand its influence.
Of course, Wang Wei is likely to be regarded by many people as "a stupid person with a lot of money".
In fact, after returning to Dunhuang from the café, Wang Wei was ready to be roared by the old king.
Although the money is his own, Lao Wang has never been interested in this kind of "extravagance", even spending money with a high probability.
It's just that I didn't expect that Lao Wang didn't care about the 500 million he threw out, and hurriedly told them a message that had just returned to the company-
"500 million is a fart, the problem now is that we in Dunhuang are facing a transaction that I don't know how many 500 million are involved!"
Wang Wei and Shen Zhenyi looked at each other, and the former's face became serious: "What's the situation?" ”
……
What's going on?
Lao Wang also wants to figure this out.
Today would have been a pleasant day - he went to a trade association.
It doesn't matter what the association itself discusses, what matters is that because of Dunhuang's brilliant achievements this year, almost everyone in the association sings praises around him.
Especially against the backdrop of the five peers who can't hide the loss on their faces or the sourness in their tones, it's extremely sour.
Of course, he is not just to enjoy flattery, participating in this kind of industry association is also a way to gain prestige, and he can also get in touch with more contacts.
——Compared with Ding is Ding Mao is Mao's work itself, the distribution and marketing of the film depends on the "road", and if you want to "Lu Ziye", you have to rely on mixing, blowing, and blacking.
Lao Wang is "mixed" like a fish in water in the association, and he has made a group of new contacts in the cinema industry.
- until the president of China Television Pictures contacted him privately.
The two didn't talk for a long time, but the information revealed by the other party made Lao Wang even a little surprised and speechless-
"The management of China Television Group hopes to exchange the shares of China Television Pictures for 30 to 50 percent of our shares in Dunhuang, so as to have closer ties and cooperation with us; If the replacement is really successful, you will become the largest individual shareholder of China Television Pictures! ”
This sudden news directly silenced Wang Wei.
- He never imagined that while he was planning to take a large number of shares in another company, he was also plotted by others to "steal his family".
This kind of thing is naturally not something that can be decided by patting the head at random, so several people didn't react for a while.
Fortunately, as soon as Lao Wang came back, he sorted out as much information as possible about the acquisitions that China Television has experienced in recent years, as well as their current business conditions, including financial status and production status, for auxiliary analysis and reference.
are all people in the industry, even if they have not paid special attention to Huashi Group, there is still no shortage of information in general, and a few people are silent to look at the information first-
The qualifications of China Television in the five are not old, and even, in the golden age of China Entertainment, there is no shadow of China Television in the dominant studio.
It wasn't until Xie Yanxi of the Xie family joined China Television in order to transform, invested sky-high funds at that time, seized the opportunity of the rise of the TV industry, and extended China Television's business to the film industry, newspapers and magazines, publishing houses, music records and other fields, and a cross-media entertainment empire was rising.
Under his leadership, China Television Group entered a prosperous period, in the late 70s and early 80s, China Television once dominated the five major China Entertainment majors, and often performed what it means to be rich in front of China Entertainment peers.
Not to mention anything else, making a movie and finding three or four Pegasus Award winners and actresses to play supporting roles as soy sauce was what China Television loved to do at that time.
– even if it's pure waste.
However, after the mid-80s, the aging Xie Yanxi began to become obsessed with absolute power and acquiesced in the infighting of the group's executives.
Personnel turmoil naturally affects decision-making, coupled with the repeated failures of its own investment in production, so the state of such a once glorious media and entertainment empire began to decline rapidly, and the number and quality of film and television works produced in recent years have continued to be sluggish.
Up to now, among the five major film companies, China Television ranks at the bottom.
Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that China Television is still far from "skinny death" - not to mention anything else, just because it has a top global distribution network and a deep heritage of one of the most important public television networks in China, it is enough to be proud of China Entertainment.
"Looking at it this way, the situation is very obvious, with the continuous success of the past few years, especially the successive sales of works, Huashi Pictures and even the entire Huashi Group regard our Dunhuang as a booster."
Lao Wang took the lead in putting down the information and broke the silence and said: "So they want to establish an inseparable cooperative relationship with Dunhuang, and even build a community of interests......
Speaking of which, the relationship between China Television and Dunhuang has been maintained quite well over the years, at least, the media under China Television has a positive attitude towards Dunhuang in the five majors.
Therefore, it seems logical to want to deepen cooperation with Dunhuang.
But Shen Zhenyi, who had sharp intuition, frowned and shook her head slightly, "It doesn't feel right......"
Aren't you afraid to put it bluntly, with the current upward momentum of Dunhuang, being included in the Huashi banner, aren't you afraid of being dragged down by their downturn?
No matter how you look at this cooperation, it is more beneficial to China Television; It cannot be said that there are no benefits to Dunhuang, but the benefits obtained seem to be insignificant compared to the price paid.
As long as Dunhuang is not stupid, he will not easily agree, and he will not even consider it.
However, China Television proposed in-depth cooperation under such a momentum, and the conditions offered were not too good.
Wang Wei also felt the same way, he didn't even care if the other party gave more specific conditions, but asked Lao Wang vigilantly: "The president of China Television Pictures, the attitude at that time was tentative?" Or is it a must-win? ”
Lao Wang thought about it for a while, his heart chuckled, and his face sank slightly: "It's not like a temptation, but it's a bit like looking at the prey that has been caught, and there is no way out except this road......"
Hearing this, Wang Wei looked up at the low clouds outside the window, and sighed-
"So I guessed right, the storm is coming!"
……
Today is a short change, and tomorrow will be dry~~~
