Chapter 48: Make a fortune
Chen Lin has never been a person with good skills.
Of course, sometimes, they may wave, such as the few times they pk with Yaya, which is his peak moment.
In addition, I have been busy making movies recently and have neglected to exercise, so as usual, I have not been able to successfully suppress my wife.
However, Liying was still very satisfied, which could be seen from her glorious expression after getting up early.
"I'm going to meet with the crew of "Hotpot Heroes" today, and the publicity work of BJ Station is about to be carried out..."
Before Li Ying finished speaking, Chen Lin had already robbed him: "I have something to do, too..."
"What's wrong with you?"
Liying was originally planning to let Chen Lin accompany her to participate in the promotion.
"Well, I'm going to find Ma Dong."
"Ma Dong? Why are you looking for him?"
Zhao Liying asked curiously.
“…It’s a bit complicated. Simply put, I want to withdraw my shares.”
"Retreatment? Is it Miwei's shares? You won't cooperate with him?"
Although Liying can't tell the story of her husband's assets, she still knows most of them very well.
In 2013, Chen Lin invested 150 million yuan to occupy 45% of Miwei Media's shares. Of course, after two rounds of financing, the shares were only about 30%, but the price increased by at least eight times!
Last year, in Miwei's second round of financing, iQIYI invested 800 million yuan and occupied 20% of the shares. Even at this price, Chen Lin's original 150 million yuan was worth at least 1.2 billion!
This year, the three-line power of "The Debater", "The Mars Intelligence Agency" and "The Temptation of the Dinner", has greatly improved its market value.
"Of course my relationship with Ma Dong is good, but I'm still not used to his management methods, and I'm not optimistic about Mi Wei's Zhan, so I just cash out my shares!"
Chen Linda explained.
If it were this time last year, Chen Lin would probably not be so patient.
"How much can I cash out?"
"Well... I probably calculated it, there should be more than one billion!"
I had already contacted Ma Dong last week. I was originally planning to sell it to Guangshui or Wanda, but Ma Dong found a buyer himself, named Niu Ben.
"A billion? Are you going to invest in a new movie again?"
Zhao Liying subconsciously thought that Chen Lin was going to make a new movie again.
"No, I have other uses."
Chen Lin shook his head, but he didn't say specifically what it was for.
Liying asked several times, but when she saw Chen Lin still looked mysterious, she had to give up.
...
Xizhimen, cafe.
Ma Dong and Chen Lin made an appointment.
"Brother Dong, how could you think of meeting me in such a place?"
Chen Lin pushed the door and saw Ma Dong sitting against the wall at a glance. He stepped forward and didn't be polite to him.
"Don't you literati and poets all like cafes?"
Ma Dong grinned and sat down while greeting Chen Lin and explaining clearly.
"Who are literati and poets? I'm just a movie shooter. By the way, I've been named a stinky businessman recently! Let's have a cup of mocha and a signature sandwich."
The next sentence was said to the waiter.
"Let's not talk about those false ones, tell me, what do you think? Why do you need to withdraw your shares?"
Ma Dong asked in a low voice after seeing the waiter leaving.
"On the one hand, I need some money, and on the other hand, I'm not optimistic about your management skills."
Chen Lin and Ma Dong were never polite, nor did they hide it, and told the truth directly.
"You want money? Will you have no money?"
Ma Dong looked disbelief. As for saying that he had no management skills, he himself knew his weight and chose to ignore it.
"I plan to join forces with IQIYI, Youku, and Tonxun to set up an online theater chain to broadcast literary and artistic movies for free. The first thing I have to do is to enrich the film library. So do you think it takes money to buy these copyrights?"
"I roughly calculated that we bought the ones that were already out of stock at 30% of the cost. If the box office results are good, we will pay less money. If the box office results are poor, or there is no screening at all, we will recover the original price. Of course, the premise is that the quality of the movie must meet the standards!"
"I have agreed with these three companies. I will pay half of the price, and each of the three companies will pay the remaining one-third, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the Chinese film genre!"
Chen Lin explained roughly.
“…then…then how much does it cost?”
"Invest one or two hundred million in the early stage!"
Chen Lin's face remained unchanged: "If this matter is done, then at least 50 million will be paid every year in the future!"
This is a long-term process!
Chen Lin originally wanted to establish a literary and artistic theater, but later he thought that if he really wanted to build a literary and artistic theater, his wealth would not be enough.
The country is so big that even if you only set up demonstration theaters in a few first-tier cities, it is not something that can be played by Shen Lin.
So I started to think about the Internet.
Although the cost is not small, it can indeed save a lot compared to literary and artistic theaters.
As for whether we can make money, haha, since we decided to help independent movies and literary movies, Chen Lin never thought of hoping that this thing would make money.
I just want to not lose too much!
"…I really admire you! Do you want to be the godfather of Chinese movies?"
Ma Dong looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Come on, my virtue is still the godfather, and the yeast is almost the same. Where are the people you made an appointment with?"
Chen Lin really didn't have any idea in this regard. He just felt that he should do something for Chinese movies, live a lifetime, witnessed the golden age of Chinese entertainment, and relied on movies to make money that he would never spend in his life.
Then what?
You have to do something.
Tagore said: ‘The sky has no trace of wings, but I have already flown!’
Forget it, the word count is not watery, and you don’t like to read these anyway.
"You said Niu Ben, he has come."
At this moment, a slightly fat middle-aged man in a shirt stood up next to him. While applauding, the gentleman said, "It's better to see him at first sight than to hear him! I have heard that director Chen Lin is innocent and loyal to the movies, but I didn't expect that this is true!"
"I'm too much, is this Brother Niu?"
"You call me Niu Ben."
After a few simple greetings, the topic naturally shifted to the equity delivery aspect of Miwei Media.
"Linzi, I will pay 100 million to accept all the shares in your hands, and it also assumes that it is a contribution to Chinese films!"
Niu Ben looked open-minded. Judging from his tone, Chen Lin definitely took a big advantage for 100 million yuan.
Bah! The profiteer!
Chen Lin revealed a little while ago, and the light and Wanda offer 1.3 billion yuan, while the other offer 1.4 billion yuan!
Why did you get the advantage of 100 million yuan?
"Brother Niu, if you do this, we don't need to talk about it. Your 100 million yuan has not even reached the market price! Wanda contacted me some time ago and was willing to bid 1.5 billion yuan. I didn't sell it. You paid 100 million yuan?"
Damn, people should not behave like a person. I didn’t expect that Niu Ben’s face was honest and honest, so treacherous.
“…Then how much do you want?”
Niu Ben's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ma Dong, but the latter didn't say anything.
Chapter completed!
