Chapter 371: The future is bright

"Why didn't Zhang Tianai from your company come today?

No matter how she says it, she is also the second female, and the role she plays is better than that of me, the heroine, in the mouths of many netizens. ”

Yang Mi looked left and right, and asked with some taste.

"Xiao Ai has been too busy recently, and the company has received a lot of new endorsements for her, just like Reba, she has been busy all this time!"

Gu Wei smiled and explained.

"Tsk~ It's normal to be busy.

In just over three months, the second female of a 1 billion box office movie, the heroine of a 2 billion box office movie, and her fame has skyrocketed!

Doesn't it be said on the Internet that she is the new generation of box office queen!

This nickname used to be White Lily~"

Yang Mi's tone was a little sour.

However, Zhang Tianai has been very popular recently.

Because the movie itself is a big hit, the results are real, and Gu Wei's company continues to buy hot searches and drafts, so her popularity has always been high.

After the box office of [The Richest Man in Xihong City] broke one billion, various brands came to the door one after another, hoping that Zhang Tianai could be their spokesperson.

At the same time, the price of her commercial performances is also rising.

It can be said that the current Zhang Tianai is a hen that lays golden eggs, creating a steady stream of profits for Gu Wei's company.

Time passed little by little, and everyone drank some wine at the celebration banquet, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

"Senior brother, what are your plans for the third part of [Embroidered Spring Knife]?"

Everyone at the main table had just toasted a glass of wine together, and Gu Wei leaned next to Lu Yang and asked.

Hearing him say this, Yang Mi beside him also pricked up his ears to listen to Lu Yang's answer.

According to the routine of the first two parts, there is a high probability that the heroine of the third part will not be her, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, her character is not dead, and the shot given at the end of the movie is still waiting for "Shen Lian", in case they get together again in the third part.

Lu Yang put down his wine glass and thought about it.

"To be honest, I don't have any ideas in my mind now, according to the current results of the movie, the third part will definitely be ranked, but I am more afraid that my lack of preparation will smash the reputation of this series!"

Saying that, Lu Yang looked at Gu Wei with a wry smile.

"Senior brother, you should be able to understand my psychology, right?"

Gu Wei nodded slightly.

He fully understands Lu Yang, the first two parts of [Embroidered Spring Knife] are indeed rare masterpieces in domestic movies, the Douban scores of both are above 7 points, and the second part is even higher than the first one, which is difficult to see in a series of movies.

According to the normal situation, the first series of movies is the most popular, and then the reputation of the following films is getting worse and worse, until the end can not be ranked.

Now that Lu Yang's foundation is so good in front of him, it also puts a lot of pressure on himself, and he is afraid that the third part will not be done well and the signboard will be smashed.

"Wait, I'm going to take a break and slowly think about the rest of the story.

If I can't come up with a good story, I won't start filming easily."

Lu Yang's face was firm and he made up his mind.

Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder.

"I've got your back, brother.

Don't be in a hurry, slow work and careful work, we have a good foundation, and it doesn't matter if the time is longer.

Feelings are something that can only be bred by adding time to quality, and now the first two parts of the boutique are available, and there is still a lack of time.

I believe that when the third part comes out, it will definitely be able to create a new box office record for domestic martial arts movies! ”

Full of wine and food, a very good experience celebration banquet ended.

Gu Wei was invited by Da Mimi to go home with her, and it happened that he also had something to communicate with Yang Mi.

In the middle of the night, on the big bed in the master bedroom, Yang Mi collapsed on Gu Wei's side softly, the whole person gasped, his towering chest rose and fell because of the violent breathing, sweat obviously slipped from his temples, and the hair on his forehead was glued together, which looked very uncomfortable.

But at this time, she couldn't care about these anymore, her whole body was motionless, and her eyes were slightly closed to recover her strength.

The room was very quiet, and only Yang Mi's heavy breathing could be heard.

"Sister Mi, what do you think about the financing of [Jiaxing Media]?"

After a while, Gu Wei suddenly spoke up.

Yang Mi, who was not asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

"Of course, I support that only after financing will the company have more funds to develop, and there will be a higher valuation, and it will snowball bigger and bigger, until the final listing bell rings, so that everyone will get the maximum benefit."

It seems that Yang Mi has a positive attitude towards financing.

However, this is also normal, most companies will go through the process of financing, expansion, refinancing, re-expansion, and finally reaching a certain scale and strength to go public.

Especially some star enterprises and Internet companies have developed in this way.

"I think financing is also a good thing, as the saying goes, money is easy to do, only with sufficient funds, the company can become bigger and stronger.

Like the sugar man film and television in the circle, it has always maintained the model of a small family-style workshop, although the boss has always firmly grasped the control of the company, but he has also missed a lot of opportunities, and finally can only be slowly eliminated by the market. ”

Gu Wei nodded and followed Yang Mi's words.

"So you've agreed to the financing?"

Yang Mi asked.

"Of course, but then again.

The ultimate purpose of financing is nothing more than two things, one is money, and the other is the resources brought by the financier.

I don't lack money, and the resources in our film and television industry can't be given by ordinary capital.

So I think if the capital can't be given a good price this time, or the conditions attached are too harsh, then financing is not necessary. ”

Gu Wei analyzed rationally.

Yang Mi couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"Sister Mi, I have my own company, and I am not short of money or resources.

[Jiaxing Media] is not particularly important to me, but since I have invested in shares, I naturally want to make the company develop better.

As long as you listen to me, the company will definitely develop better and better, and finally you will truly become a member of the circle of capital! ”

Gu Wei said as he spoke, and the movements of his hands playing back and forth did not stop.

Yang Mi's attention was not here at all at this time, she was thinking about the deep meaning of Gu Wei's words, and she was attracted by the cakes he painted.

Gu Wei also stopped talking, he felt that what he said was clear enough, and he believed that a smart person like Yang Mi would know how to choose.

He concentrated on what he was doing, thinking that he definitely had a part to do.

Two days later, Gu Wei received a call from Zeng Jia and came to [Jiaxing Media] in person.

In the conference room, under the narration of investment director Li Juan, he already knew all the information about this financing.

To put it simply, a media company called [Shangshi Pictures] wants to raise funds for [Jiaxing Media].

Now, after a period of negotiation between the two parties, [Shangshi Pictures] intends to invest 300 million yuan to purchase 20% of Jiaxing's equity, and the valuation of Jiaxing will be 1.5 billion after financing.

Of course, people don't give money in vain, after all, Jiaxing's current size can't actually support the valuation of 1.5 billion.

[Shangshi Pictures] put forward a VAM agreement, requiring that from the date of signing the contract, the net profit after tax of [Jiaxing Media] within 3 years must be more than 300 million.

If it fails, Jiaxing Media needs to repurchase 20% of the shares held by [Shangshi Pictures] at an annual yield of 15%.

"Mr. Zeng, what do you think?"

After reading the agreement, Gu Wei first asked Zeng Jia's attitude.

"On my side, of course, I hope that the financing will be completed eventually.

Only when we have sufficient funds can we do more, and the company's goal is to produce as many high-quality dramas as possible and cultivate more well-known artists, which are all based on funds.

Although the VAM agreement is a bit harsh, I think Jiaxing Media will be able to complete it in the future. ”

It can be seen that Zeng Jia is very active in financing.

This is not surprising, she is a person full of ambition in her career, and it has always been her wish to make [Jiaxing Media] a top company in the industry.

Moreover, after financing, Zeng Jia's shares were worth hundreds of millions at once, and it can be said that he became a billionaire in one step, although it is only paper wealth, it is also very attractive.

Gu Wei touched his chin and didn't speak.

Zeng Jia was not in a hurry, waiting for Gu Wei to express his opinion.

In fact, even if Gu Wei disagreed, she felt that with a total of 70% of the shares of Yang Mi and the four of them, she could forcibly promote financing, but this would be a tear with Gu Wei, and it was not worth it.

She thought that this was a great thing, and Gu Wei had no reason not to agree.

Of course, she doesn't know now that Yang Mi, who she relies on, may not be able to share her heart.

"In this way, Mr. Zeng.

I agree in principle with financing, after all, as you said, this is a good thing, and the company's development and growth are inseparable from rounds of financing.

After all, you need money for everything.

But I think that for the current [Jiaxing Media], the requirements put forward by [Shangshi Pictures] are too harsh! ”

Taking the opportunity of this financing, Gu Wei has already thought about what he will do to maximize his benefits.

Zeng Jia frowned.

"What is Mr. Gu's opinion?"

"The net profit after tax of 300 million yuan in three years is too high, although Jiaxing Media is not unattainable, but there is no need to take this risk.

I think 150 million in two years is a safe number. ”

According to Gu Wei's total revenue and net profit of Jiaxing last year, after the fame of its actors slowly increased, it was too easy to get 150 million net profits after tax in 16 and 17.

You must know that the original space-time Jiaxing had a profit of 200 million in 17 years alone, and finally overfulfilled the bet.

"But if the VAM agreement is changed like this, [Shangshi Pictures] Pictures may not agree."

Investment Director Li Juan interjected.

This financing was operated by her, and she was more aware of the bottom line on the side of [Shangshi Pictures].

"The ultimate goal of our financing is just to get the money we need for development.

Since the VAM agreement has been changed, you might as well change the financing amount yourself.

There is no need for [Shangshi Pictures] Pictures to take 300 million, minus half, and sell them 10% of the shares for 150 million.

The remaining 150 million I followed with the same conditions. ”

Gu Wei said arrogantly.

"In this way, the funds we raise remain the same, but the gambling is much easier and the risk is much smaller."

"This"

Zeng Jia was a little hesitant, she glanced at each other with Zhao Ruoyao and Li Juan, not knowing whether to agree to Gu Wei's plan.

At this time, Gu Wei gave Yang Mi a look who was sitting opposite.

Yang Mi received the meaning in his eyes and coughed lightly.

"I think what Gu Wei said is very reasonable.

Anyway, the valuation has not changed, the financing money has not changed, so the risk of gambling is small and easier to complete, why don't we agree? ”

"Mimi, do you really think so?"

Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi and confirmed.

"yes, I think that's the best choice."

Zeng Jia looked at Gu Wei on the other side and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, Li Juan, you use Mr. Gu's plan to communicate with [Shangshi Pictures] to see if they can agree, and then we will decide!"

"Understood!"

Gu Wei achieved his goal, and slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, smiling.

A few days later, the first financing of [Jiaxing Media] was completed, with a valuation of 1.5 billion and a financing of 300 million, and the proportion of the company's shares after financing was Gu Wei 34%, Zeng Jia 20%, Yang Mi 16.8%, Zhao Ruoyao 12%, [Shangshi Pictures] 10%, and Li Juan 7.2%.

Although Gu Wei paid 150 million in cash, the market value of Jiaxing shares in his hand was 510 million.

The most important thing is that he is not only still the largest shareholder, but also more than 50% of Yang Mi's shares.

After the contract was signed, Mr. Li of [Shangshi Pictures] shook hands with Zeng Jia, and then turned to Gu Wei with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Mr. Gu is so courageous, in fact, if you know that Mr. Gu will also become one of the financiers in this round, it doesn't matter if there is a gambling contract."

"Mr. Li is polite, in business, the current agreement is beneficial to all of us, let's win!"

Gu Wei smiled.

Of course, he knew that the other party was just polite, and now that the gambling contract has been signed, what's the use of saying this.

"Haha~ win-win, yes, win-win!"

Zeng Jia watched Gu Wei and Mr. Li of [Shangshi Pictures] talking happily, and he was always a little unhappy.

Gu Wei's stake in [Jiaxing Media] has increased again, and she also has a sense of crisis in her heart, the company she worked hard to build will not make a wedding dress for others in the end, right?

Shaking his head slightly, he threw these thoughts out of his mind.

Now the combined shares of [Shangshi Pictures] and Gu Wei are 44%, and she still has an absolute advantage on her side, and [Shangshi Pictures] is the capital that Li Juan found after all, so she may not necessarily stand with Gu Wei.

Now what really makes her happy is that the company's account has reached 300 million, and now the three main business sectors she initially set with artist brokerage as the core, film and television production as the carrier, and the development of the whole industry chain have sufficient funds to develop.

The future is bright!
