"Where did you get so much money?" asked Wang Zhonglei in surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ping looked back at Sister Dao, scratched his head and said, "This ...... The ...... given by the family "I am now an employee of the Third Bureau, so it should be regarded as a family gift!"

"Are you rich second generation?" Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "If you have enough funds, it will be much easier to do, then I will tell you something specific, if you want to start an entertainment company, first of all, you must have a star or director who can do it, and when you do business, you must first want to lose money, and then you want to make money. In 98, when we filmed "Endless", I soaked in the crew for more than a month, as a group performer, and worked on the spot, just to understand what it was like to make a movie, and of course, it was also to prove to Feng Xiaogang and Ge You that I am not a mercenary businessman, and they recognized me as a person, so that we will have a long-term and stable cooperative relationship later. To put it bluntly, our Huayi brothers relied on Chinese New Year films. ”

Cao Ping nodded and thought about it and said: "Now the Lunar New Year stalls are already the competition area of major companies, and you can seize the Lunar New Year stall market at that time, you really have a vision." ”

Wang Zhonglei waved his hand and said: "It's not that I have a vision, the Chinese army has been studying abroad, and the summer and Christmas files abroad have been popular for many years, and we just copy the successful experience of the foreign market." In fact, the significance of the Chinese New Year file to us is only to earn the first pot of gold, and what really establishes our leading position in China is the co-production. ”

"Co-production?" Cao Ping doesn't know much about this.

Wang Zhonglei explained: "It is the production units of two or several countries or regions making movies together. The review of domestic films is too strict, but if you do a co-production, the release conditions will be relaxed because of the proportion of Chinese shareholding, which is actually a leak, and it was still a relatively cutting-edge statement at the time. We are the first private film company to engage in co-production, 03 years, we voted "Kung Fu", the box office passed 170 million, 04 years voted "No Thieves in the World", box office 120 million, at that time, it is not easy for the movie box office to break 100 million, from the beginning, our Huayi film The road is flat, 06 years we voted "Baby Plan", "Night Banquet", "Ink Attack" is also the number of co-productions, in the minds of the audience, we also laid the reputation of making blockbusters, these are all thanks to the vision of the Chinese army. ”

Listening to Wang Zhonglei talk about the history of his family, Cao Ping listened very fascinated, he was still a little kid in school in 05! The man in front of him has already begun to chase waves in the film market. Cao Ping continued to ask, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Wang Zhonglei glanced at him and said: "If you want me to tell you how to do it, then don't open your company, just invest the money in our Huayi, make you a shareholder, and wait for dividends every year. ”

Cao Ping nodded, this must be inevitable, even if you copy Huayi's experience, you may not be able to succeed, the business is changing rapidly, what you see is the ability to seize opportunities, this thing can't be taught.

Listening to Wang Zhonglei's words, Cao Ping felt more and more that the burden on his body was very heavy, he was indeed a little tender, and he might not be able to make money if he had money in the mixed business, although the overall valuation of Huayi Brothers was more than 20 billion, but Cao Ping entered the market with 10 billion, but he may not be able to keep the money, which made him very anxious and eager to get more useful information.

Wang Zhonglei saw his anxiety and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious, opening a company does not mean that it will be opened overnight, you have to come step by step, you are too inexperienced now, I suggest that you first find a good project in the industry, invest some capital appropriately, and go to the enterprise to understand the specific mode of the company's operation, or come directly to Huayi, and stay in the marketing department for a month or two, you will almost understand." ”

Cao Ping smiled, he knew that Zhong Lei said that it was a joke to let him go to the marketing department, they were friends of the same generation, if they really worked under him, the relationship would be sour, not to mention, he really wanted to lick his face to steal the teacher, it would be too much for Wang Zhonglei to look down on. On the contrary, he was quite interested in the projects that Wang Zhonglei said about investing in the industry, and Cao Ping asked: "Brother Zhonglei, if I want to invest, do you have any good projects to recommend?"

This sentence is asked, that is, it is clear that you owe a big favor, but you know that you have to owe, Cao Ping's qualifications are too shallow now, if you want to grope for yourself, then you don't know how much you have to suffer, there are people who understand here, a little pointer, you can take a lot of detours, so, you have to ask.

Wang Zhonglei thought about it seriously, if he hadn't thought about it seriously before today, but now Cao Ping has entered the market with nearly 10 billion funds, even if it is him, he has to weigh whether the recommended projects can be taken or not, otherwise he owes favors, but Cao Ping loses money, then his people will be lost.

After taking a sip of wine, Wang Zhonglei thought about it and asked, "Do you want to specialize in movies, or are you involved in any industry?"

If you are a simple star, it is enough to only make movies, but Cao Ping is responsible for spreading the culture of cultural practice to the world, so it has to be involved in all aspects, he said: "As long as it is involved in the industry, it doesn't matter if the span is large, I can learn." ”

Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and said: "Huayi now has three main sectors, the film and television entertainment sector represented by films, TV dramas, artist brokerage and other businesses, the brand licensing and live entertainment sector represented by film communes, cultural cities, theme parks and other businesses, and the Internet entertainment sector represented by games, new media, fan communities and other businesses. The first two sections are in charge of the Chinese military, and I didn't come out alone to engage in new media and fan economy? I'll introduce you to one from my side!"

"Yes. Cao Ping nodded, he was still quite relieved about Wang Zhonglei's vision, and Cao Ping himself also believed that the trend of media development in the future must be to develop on new media such as online media and mobile media.

Wang Zhonglei said: "I know a friend, his name is Han Kun, he opened a company in Beijing, called Xuandian Technology Co., Ltd., we all call him Technology, it is a mobile phone APP related to mobile short video, do you know about this piece?"

"Is it a video on your phone?" Cao Ping didn't know much about this.

Wang Zhonglei said: "That's right, he did this very interesting, there was already a product out in August last year, called Miaopai, users can use their mobile phones to take a 10-second short video, send it to the Internet and share it with netizens." Han Kun is a very far-sighted person, the connotation of this thing is still social attributes, social networking and big data, must be the mainstream of the future Internet economy. Therefore, I recommended him to Lao Cha, who is the chairman of Sina, and his surname is Cao, called Cao Guowei, and Lao Cha is his nickname. The core value of Sina and Miaopai is social, and Miaopai has also filled the gap in the Weibo video side, the two of them are working together very well now, just got built-in with Sina in August last year, and Sina led the B round of financing in September, with a total of 25 million US dollars, this year Lao Han is ready to start the C round of financing, I can introduce you to the car. ”

Cao Ping is very interested in this, since Wang Zhonglei dares to recommend this company to himself, it means that he is very optimistic, so Cao Ping asked directly: "Then how much is the right amount for me to invest for the first time?"

Wang Zhonglei said: "Miaopai this product is still very good, the number of users every month is also growing steadily, according to the convention, the C round is at least more than double that of the B round, but it also depends on how many shares Lao Han Ken releases, but it should be impossible to take them all, Lao Han will definitely not agree to the existence of shareholders with a large shareholding ratio, and it will definitely be diverted, and now several VCs want to follow the investment." ”

Cao Ping smiled: "Aren't you going to vote a little?"

Wang Zhonglei shook his head with a smile and said: "Originally, I planned to invest some, but didn't Ren Quan and Li Bingbing make a starVC by themselves? ”

Cao Ping smiled, lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Can you really do it?"

"Look at yourself, if you believe in me, you will vote. Wang Zhonglei didn't care, picked up chopsticks and ate vegetables.

Cao Ping thought about it, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, let's do it! I'm afraid of a yarn! Just calculate twice as much as the B round, and the C round will release 50 million US dollars of equity, and if he eats all of them, it will be 350 million yuan.

Cao Ping raised his head and said, "Okay, when will it be convenient for Lao Han to come out for dinner and get to know him?"

Wang Zhonglei said: "I'll save up another day, call Lao Han and Lao Cha over, and introduce you to a few friends." ”

Cao Ping smiled and nodded, raised a glass to toast, this is another great favor, Wang Zhonglei's circle is naturally his level of friends, he said that he wanted to introduce friends to himself, that is, he pulled him into the circle, this is a recognition of Cao Ping's identity, in other words, it is also a recognition of Cao Ping's financial strength.

The capital circle is the most realistic, and if you want to enter the circle, you want the same net worth, so those peripheral girls who want to fly on the branches to be phoenixes by drilling the quilt are just a plaything at best. And if a man wants to enter the circle, he will speak according to his family background. In the most popular terms, everyone is the boss of a company with a level of 10 billion, if you are just an ordinary bar owner, when everyone talks about hundreds of millions of project investments, will you have the opportunity to interject? Not at the same level, there is not even a common topic, Cao Ping only met Wang Zhonglei through Huang Lei before, and the two of them had a meal together and drank some wine at most. But this time, Cao Ping entered as a private capital investor, which can be regarded as truly recognized by Wang Zhonglei and has the qualifications to sit down and talk about business together.
