"Don't worry, I will solve the problem of money, tell my brothers not to worry, that is, it will go bankrupt tomorrow, and today's salary will be paid."

Niu Qiangdong spoke firmly, and waved his hand again:

"Okay, you go get busy first."

"Got it, Brother Dong."

The finance didn't say anything more, and turned around and left the office.

didn't take two steps, met a man head-on, and hurriedly said hello:

"Mr. Xu."

The man's face was not very good-looking, and he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, but he still squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Ben passed by like this, but as soon as the finance took two steps, he was stopped by the man:

"Xiao Zhang, is there no money in the account?"

The financial expression was entangled, and he hesitated for a while but nodded:

"It's not much......

Then he quickly added:

"But Brother Dong has found a way to solve it."

"What's the solution?" Xu Lei hurriedly asked.

"Well, I didn't say it...... No, I didn't ask. "The tone of finance is weak.

Xu Lei seemed a little disappointed and shook his head:

"Okay, you go get busy."

The finance glanced at the paper in Xu Lei's hand, didn't say anything, and left quickly.

Xu Lei strode into the office, and when he opened the door, he saw Niu Qiangdong standing by the window and looking out of the window.

"What about Brother Dong's vision for the future?"

He walked over and leaned against his desk.

Niu Qiangdong heard the voice and turned his head:

"Leizi, you don't need to be sarcastic about me, I must do the matter of self-built logistics, and I will overcome all the difficulties. If you're my brother, support me. ”

Xu Lei smiled wryly.

He was really emotional just now, because another investor was scared away.

Stand up straight:

"Dongzi, if I didn't support you, I wouldn't have officially joined our company this year, but who knew that you would give me such a big surprise when I just came in.

I'm in charge of marketing, I look at the data, I read the market research reports.

There is no company of the same type in the market that has built its own logistics, let's look at the competitors, there are big consortia behind them, but they have not done so.

You see, now he is 44th on the rich list, and last year he was 68. ”

As he spoke, Xu Lei slapped the paper in his hand into Niu Qiangdong's hand.

Niu Qiangdong took the paper, and the title of "2009 Forbes Celestial Rich List" was very conspicuous.

Soon he found the position of his competitors according to the ranking Xu Lei said.

Looking at the ranking in front of Malaysia's name and the assets in the back, I felt a pang in my heart.

"People have already given you a right path, why do we have to go to the dark?" Xu Lei persuaded.

Niu Qiangdong's face changed, and finally slapped the paper on the table:

"It's just because he's already walked this road, so we can't take it.

Leizi, think about it, we can't fight him with financial resources, if we still follow him, isn't it a dead end? ”

Xu Lei paused, and suddenly sighed:

"I also know this truth, but self-built logistics can be slowed down, and now it's too urgent to do this, can't it be done step by step?"

Seeing that Xu Lei's tone was loose, Niu Qiangdong stepped up his efforts again:

"I know it's too urgent, but there's no way, it's only a few years later, if it's a few years late, and someone else does it first, we're still a dead end."

"But what about money? There's no money. ”

One sentence hits the nail on the head.

No money,.

After a long time, Niu Qiangdong said:

"I have an old senior, who is a well-known investor, and he has a lot of money in his hands, as long as he catches his line, the money problem is easy to solve."

But Xu Lei smiled:

"What senior can invest 600 million in you? Dongzi, we investors are running out, you know? The investment circle is so big, are you sure that senior of yours doesn't know the investors who scared us away? Whether he wants to see you or not doesn't matter! ”

As if he was puzzled, he picked up the printed rich list on the table again, pointed to it and said:

"Do you know what industry investors want to invest in the most? Showbiz! Movie! This is the outlet!

Qin Muchu, twenty-two this year, has assets of more than 10 billion, ranking forty!

This is earned in less than four years.

The most important thing is to see how people make money, six or seven billion in the first year, more than a billion in the second year, and billions in the third and fourth years!

What is the speed at which money is made? Who has the money not to invest in the entertainment industry, and to invest in our bottomless pit where we can't see the bottom!? ”

He slapped the ranking list on Niu Qiangdong's chest, sat on the chair and sulked.

Niu Qiangdong held the leaderboard, looked at the 40th name above, and was stunned.

……

"It's just tens of billions, let you recognize your father earlier, don't recognize it, now you regret it, right? What? Fathers also have inheritance rights? Are you going to laugh your dad to death and inherit my inheritance?

Get out, get out, third-rate singers who can't even be on the rich list don't deserve to talk to me. ”

Hanging up the phone with Zhou Jiaolun, Qin Muchu leaned on the sofa.

Since being on the Forbes rich list, many people have been calling these days to find out what is true.

The relationship is far away and asks around the corner, then he is modest, saying that it is all nonsense from Forbes.

And those who are close, it is naturally blowing big, what 10 billion, less, and 80 billion did not let them know.

I just finished bragging with Zhou Jiaolun here, and another person surnamed Zhou called.

As soon as it is connected, it is a blessing:

"Boss Qin, Wishing you prosperity, good health, all the best."

Listening to this Gangpu, Qin Muchu also smiled:

"Why did Master Xing call his little brother and be flattered."

"Hey, Boss Qin, it's strange that I don't greet me often. The younger brother is also busy with movies and helps Boss Qin make money......"

"Then Master Xing called this time in his busy schedule, what advice do you have?"

"I don't dare to give advice, that is, my movie script has been written, and I can start the preparatory work, I don't know when Boss Qin's money will arrive?"

Speaking of business, Qin Muchu didn't have a strange tone, and became serious:

"You just need to contact the person in charge directly. When are you going to start filming? ”

"Around May next year, my script design is at that time, and the preliminary preparation work is also more complicated and time-consuming, 'Qizai' is a character of pure special effects production, I will come to Yanjing in a few days to discuss modeling and production with the special effects company."

Qin Muchu nodded, "Yangtze River No. 7" is a combination of animation and live-action, and Qizai is completely made of special effects.

is different from the special effects of "Kung Fu" and "Inception", which are made of "things", and this one is made of "people", which is much more difficult.

The Celestial Empire has not yet had such a movie.

"Then you are going to stay in Yanjing for a short time, do you have a place to live? I have a villa that is vacant. ”

"No, the house I bought in Yanjing has also been renovated......

Hung up, this time there was no call.

Qin Muchu sat on the sofa and thought quietly.

Zhou Xingxing's "Yangtze River No. 7" will be filmed in May next year, and it should be released at the end of the year.

The old baby "Bullet" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival next year, originally he wanted to go on it in January next year, but was persuaded by Qin Muchu.

Because he learned from the third master that there will be an introduction film called "Avatar" released in January next year.

Although he thinks that "Bullet" is far superior to "Avatar" in terms of content alone.

But the movie is not only the content, but also the technology is also an important factor, not to mention the technology that everyone has never seen before, such as "Avatar".

That visual impact is enough to suppress the lack of content.

"Bullet" is better not to touch it.

Besides, if it weren't for the grinding and chirping of the post-production of the old baby movie, a soundtrack was entangled for more than a month and finally decided to use "The Sun", how could there be these things when it was released this year.

Huayi Feng Datie will also have two movies released next year, and his own new movie is also expected next year, and Lao Mouzi estimates that there will also be one......

"Looking at it this way, next year will be really large." Qin Muchu sighed with emotion.

This is also the film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and the audience watching movies is more, so naturally there are more investors, and the number of movies is also increasing.

In the past, when movies were not profitable, many directors could only hold one out for a few years, and there were only a few movies every year.

However, there are fewer and fewer benefits, slow work and fine work, and many high-quality products.

And if there are more, there will inevitably be some indiscriminate filling.

However, these are not things that Qin Muchu can change and control, his first task now is to write a good movie script.

And the preparatory work for the film can also be carried out, because there are a lot of snow scenes in the movie, so it is very likely that this shooting will go to the Northeast.

If you are not familiar with the place, in order to prevent things like "what do you see" and "what do I look at you", you still have to send someone to get through the relationship in advance.

Speaking of which, the world is not so peaceful in this era.

First-tier cities like Yanjing and Modu are fine, as long as you communicate well with the officials, there will be no problem.

But to some distant places, especially Qin Muchu's movie this time is a modern drama, not filmed in the film and television base, in the locality, dragons and snakes are mixed.

If you don't prepare in advance, it's easy to get into trouble.

Money is a trivial matter, but if something goes wrong with someone, no amount of money can make up for it.

The days passed like this, and Qin Muchu's inclusion on the Forbes rich list gradually cooled.

This incident did not have much impact on him personally, and exposing Forbes did not cause any growth in his wealth.

It's just that his status in the circle is higher invisibly.

Respect for Rich Man.

This calm lasted until a phone call from Zhao Mingyu to him one day.

……

When he saw Qin Muchu ranking 40th on the rich list with assets of "10.01 billion", the first question Niu Qiangdong asked Xu Lei was:

"Is there a lot of cash in these 10 billion assets?"

Xu Lei was stunned by this question, he didn't know why Niu Qiangdong asked this, and he didn't know why he asked this.

And Niu Qiangdong didn't expect Xu Lei to answer, his eyes became brighter and brighter:

"Qin Muchu is the director, and the director's main source of assets must be the movie, the movie box office! The box office of a movie is all cash flow, right? ”

Now Xu Lei probably understood, but he still couldn't believe it:

"Do you want Qin Muchu to invest in us?"

"Yes!"

Niu Qiangdong showed the kind of smile that couldn't hold back the excitement, and grabbed Xu Lei's arm:

"Isn't his "Inception" this year a billion-dollar box office? With so much money and 600 million invested in us, it's just a drop in the bucket! ”

Xu Lei wants to say that the account is not calculated like this, although he doesn't know the specific box office sharing ratio, but one billion dollars will definitely not fall into Qin Muchu's pocket.

However, according to his estimates, at least $200 million should be put into the account, and there is indeed the ability to invest $600 million.

Don't look at the billionaires on the rich list, but even if they are the top ones, the big guys with assets of two or three hundred billion, if you ask him to come up with a cash flow of 600 million, he may not be able to get it.

Assets are assets, including movable and immovable property, not to mention that a lot of their wealth is in stocks, and there is not much cash in real hands.

Therefore, Niu Qiangdong said that it was theoretically valid to let Qin Muchu invest.

But in fact......

"Why? Why does he invest in us? Xu Lei asked.

Yes, people have the ability and so much money.

But why invest in you?

600 million is not a small amount of money for anyone, and this money is put in the bank with interest of tens of millions a year, and it is a sure profit.

With such a large investment, how high do you have to give a return?

Niu Qiangdong fell silent again, and his excitement dissipated slightly, but he quickly cheered up and looked at Xu Lei with blazing eyes:

"I can convince him!"

Standing under the very characteristic building of [Chao Qin Duchu], Niu Qiangdong looked a little dazed.

His Jingdong headquarters is still just a small four-story dilapidated office building, not to mention the design and shape, and the scale is completely incomparable.

Walking into the building, he was shocked by the design full of science and technology.

It's not like a company, it's more like a museum or an art gallery.

Holding back his curiosity and controlling the desire to look around, he walked straight to the front desk.

"Hello sir, how can I help me?"

The girl who was watching the video paused the video when she saw the indicator light on the side turn on, and started to serve with a smile.

Looking at the girl at the front desk with a sweet smile, Liu Qiangdong was a little distracted.

This...... Is the appearance so high?

Is it a star or is the front desk of an entertainment company so beautiful?

I was cured of my face blindness.

He suddenly felt a little cramped:

"That, I made an appointment with you Mr. Zhao, my name is Niu Qiangdong."

When he said his name, he actually felt like he was on a blind date.

So when the girl says:

"Okay, I'll check it for you, please wait."

Instead of "my name is xxx", he was still a little disappointed.

I couldn't help but shake my head, secretly saying to myself what was wrong.

"Mr. Niu, there is still an hour before your appointment time, and Mr. Zhao is in a meeting now. Is it okay for you to wait a little longer in the lounge area? Mr. Zhao will probably have half an hour before the meeting ends. The girl at the front desk said.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's too early for me to come and I don't need a rest area, I'll wait here, just half an hour...... It doesn't affect me, if it does, I'll go to the rest area. Liu Qiangdong scratched his head.

"It doesn't affect it, it's okay to wait here, but it's ......"

The girl blinked suddenly and whispered:

"There are a lot of snacks in the lounge area, as well as game consoles, projectors, massage chairs, very comfortable."

This playful appearance amused Niu Qiangdong.

It's not that I'm confused by beauty, but this state of work at the front desk.

The front desk is actually a very boring and boring job, standing there all day long, entertaining visitors, and sometimes encountering unreasonable people, and getting angry.

The most important thing is that there is no room for growth, there is no hope, and after two years, I will be replaced when I am older.

Therefore, even if the front desk is polite and comprehensive, it is basically passive, asking and answering, and working with the attitude that more things are better than less things.

It's rare to have this kind of vitality, and you will take the initiative to take the stubble.

This made his impression of [Chao Qin Dusk Chu], in addition to the unique building, a little more.

"Does Mr. Qin of your company come often? Qin Muchu, Qin Zong. ”

Xu was infected by the vitality of the front desk, Niu Qiangdong also relaxed a lot, and asked with his arm on the reception table.

"You said Director Qin, he doesn't come often, he only comes once in a few months. Generally, only when you want to make a movie, you will come to the company, or at the end of the year. The girl at the front desk said.

It's also not a secret, many people know it.

Niu Qiangdong nodded when he heard this.

That's pretty much the same as what he's been investigating this week.

Zhao Mingyu has always been in charge of management, and even many of Qin Muchu's investments have been made by Zhao Mingyu, and he has never seen Qin Muchu himself.

This made him relieved and a little worried.

He was relieved because the results of the investigation were correct, and he only needed to persuade Zhao Mingyu to get Qin Muchu's investment.

Then it is not useless for him and Xu Lei to investigate Zhao Mingyu's background, personality, and preferences this week, so as to formulate a targeted persuasion plan.

The worry is that judging from the results of the investigation, Zhao Mingyu is not easy to deal with, and she is a veritable strong woman.

Calm, strong, decisive, sober, and will not be coerced by others.

Therefore, the persuasion plan he formulated may not be of much effect.

Half an hour passed in a hurry.

Niu Qiangdong was received by a self-proclaimed secretary Zhao and took the elevator up to the top floor.

The arrival of the secretary made him feel a little more bottom, which shows that people still attach a certain amount of importance to him.

"Mr. Zhao will be here soon, you wait a minute."

The secretary served a cup of tea and placed Niu Qiangdong in the reception area.

Not long after sitting down, Niu Qiangdong heard a voice outside the door.

"The North American rights to "Inception" are not sold for less than 30 million dollars, this is the lowest price, if Warner doesn't want it, then give Disney, Colombia ......"

$30 million......

Niu Qiangdong's heart moved, and his eyes became more eager, which was almost half of the investment he needed.

Soon, the office door opened.

A woman in a white shirt, wide-legged pants, and a short ponytail walked in.

Walking with the wind, his face has no expression, he looks a little cold, and his eyes are very sharp.

"Mr. Zhao, hello." Niu Qiangdong stood up.

"Mr. Niu, hello."

Zhao Mingyu showed a smile, very polite, and stretched out his hand to shake Niu Qiangdong.

"Sit."

She beckoned to the couch.

Niu Qiangdong sat down in response, rubbed his hands, and was about to follow the opening statement in the "persuasion plan" to start persuading Zhao Mingyu to invest in Jingdong.

But Zhao Mingyu's first sentence made his plan invalid:

"Jingdong I can invest, you want to form a complete industrial chain, upstream and downstream integration, which is similar to our company's investment in cinemas.

But according to my estimates, the investment of 600 million yuan will not even be able to build a starting framework. ”

As she spoke, she took out a folder and put it in front of Niu Qiangdong.

"This is the operation management mode and cost estimation of Walmart's logistics and warehousing system in the United States, which you can use as a reference.

To build such a system in the Celestial Empire, at least ...... 2 billion. ”

……

"So you exchanged 2 billion investment for 10% of Jingdong's shares?"

Qin Muchu listened to Zhao Mingyu's words on the phone, and his voice trembled a little.

Zhao Mingyu also thought that Qin Muchu did not approve of this investment.

After all, two billion is only exchanged for 10% of the shares, which means that the company is worth 20 billion.

But the purpose of investment is to make money, and if two billion yuan is invested, and it is a long-term investment, and there is no profit of four or five billion, then invest a hammer.

Especially for the [Chaoqin Duchu] company, if the two billion are used to make movies and TV series or build movie theaters, it may be able to increase several times in a year or two.

If Toujingdong can't achieve this profit margin, it is equivalent to losing money.

"Director Qin, I think the future of Jingdong is very good, their sales this year can reach four billion, but they are still losing money, this is a kind of savings, once they tide over the difficulties and successfully go public, it will definitely take off all the way.

B2C, that is, e-commerce has proven promising in the United States, and we have a momentum in China, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a trend......"

Zhao Mingyu and Qin Muchu explained bitterly that she was not hot-headed when she invested 2 billion, after detailed investigation and analysis.

Including the background of the founder Niu Qiangdong.

After all, no matter how good an idea is, it depends on who uses it.

Born from the grassroots, self-made, not greedy for small profits, and long-term.

Under various factors, she decided to invest the 2 billion.

"No, no, I fully support your decision, if 2 billion is not enough, you can invest more."

Qin Muchu came back to his senses and interrupted Zhao Mingyu's words.

The reason why he was stunned just now was that he was too excited.

Some time ago, I was talking about why Dongzi was not on the list, it turned out that he was waiting for his "nobleman" to support!

"2 billion, 10% of JD.com's shares, are you sure?" He still couldn't believe it.

But Zhao Mingyu will be wrong again:

"Mr. Qin, 10% is a lot, this is still in exchange for his urgent use of money, and I promise to support all his subsequent decisions. And the 2 billion will also be diluted with his subsequent financing.

But I have a contractual guarantee with him that no matter how many rounds of financing we have, we will have a minimum of 5% of the shares, on the condition that if we cash out in the future, he has the right of first refusal. ”

“……”

Taking a few deep breaths, Qin Muchu tried his best to calm his voice:

"Well, you're doing a good job, and you'll decide on these investments in the future, huh...... Just leave me the money to make the movie. ”

Zhao Mingyu also smiled rarely when she heard this, not the simple politeness to Niu Qiangdong, but from the bottom of her heart.

The boss doesn't ask for such a big investment to explain two sentences, how many bosses can do it?

At the age of almost forty, there is an urge to die for a confidant.

Suppressing the impulse, she remembered something, and said:

"Also, Niu Qiangdong wants to make an appointment to invite you to dinner, one is to thank you, and the other is to chat with you, he seems to be ...... to you I'm interested. ”

Dongzi is interested in me?

Qin Muchu muttered.

No, I don't drink milk tea.

But he still said:

"It's okay lately, I have time."

"Okay, then the day of the signing, he still needs about a week to arrange, and our specific contract needs to be discussed by both parties......"

Qin Muchu put down the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jingdong Shareholder ......

Even if it's only 5% of the shares, it's not a small number, is it?

Money seems to be really becoming more and more meaningless for me.

Alas, I'm only twenty-two, and I've lost my troubles, how will I live the rest of my life!

"Why? Did you secretly reward yourself? ”

Yang Mi walked into the living room, saw her boyfriend who seemed to have entered the time of a sage on the sofa, walked over and pinched his face.

Qin Muchu didn't drive along as usual, but grabbed his girlfriend's hand:

"I've found Dongzi."

"Dongzi? Who is Dongzi? ”

Yang Mi asked in surprise.

She had long forgotten about the person her boyfriend mentioned.

"A person who falls in love with someone who loves milk tea."

“……”

It was repeated several times before Yang Mi figured out the meaning of her boyfriend's tongue-twisting words.

More surprised:

"He's in love with Straw?"
