Chapter 119 has become a new force
Lu Liang frowned, searching on domestic and foreign websites, and finally saw a piece of news that seemed to be the cause.
Tesla Motors has been established for 11 years and has delivered 4,750 vehicles so far. The production capacity is seriously insufficient and orders are often delayed.
A few years ago, there was also a stock price cut in half when the first sports car called Roadster was released.
Once released at that time, it caused a sensation in European and American car circles. It was sold for US$100,000, and 2,100 pre-orders were received on the first day.
In the end, due to errors in cost estimation and overestimation of its own production capacity, the actual cost exceeded US$120,000.
Musk could only apologize publicly because he raised the selling price to $110,000 and was willing to assume liability for breach of contract and give up half of the order. This move caused strong dissatisfaction among customers.
At that time, Wall Street speculators also sensed opportunities and severely shorted Tesla's stock price. The market value went from 9.8 billion to 4.2 billion, almost on the verge of delisting.
In the end, after Lucian and the Minister of Energy visited the Tesla factory, the Department of Energy granted a low-interest loan of US$465 million, and Tesla finally recovered.
“Is it going to happen again?”
Lu Liang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After all, the super factory in Shanghai is still an overgrown wasteland with some self-built houses. After handling these trivial matters, it will take at least a year and a half to break ground.
Tesla cannot enjoy the dividends of a populous country and a mature industrial chain, and the cost of construction in the United States is particularly high.
A Maodou X only requires a deposit of US$2,000, and the cost should be more than US$100,000.
Suppose a car requires an advance payment of 100,000 yuan. Once the orders are accumulated, it will not be red and green banknotes, but a reminder.
Thinking of this, Lu Liang called Li Bing: "Hey, Mr. Li, have the first-day orders for edamame X been released?"
Li Bing was surprised that Lu Liang called him and asked him this It's a trivial matter, but he told the truth: "Not yet."
"Then do you know the reason?" Lu Liang asked.
"I guess I haven't calculated it yet. After all, there will always be a delay online and offline."
"Then what do you predict the total order volume should be?"
"Offline orders should exceed 3,500 units."
Li Bing is very sure that just because Tesla doesn't tell them, it doesn't mean they have no way of knowing. For example, Li Xiang was a very thief and sent several people to watch in the business rooms of various exhibition halls.
Whenever the staff and customers came out, they were all smiling and shaking hands, and he counted them.
Li Bing said with a smile: "I don't know if it's accurate, but looking at Li Xiang's expression at that time, it seemed that he was pretty accurate."
"Thank you." Lu Liang was stunned. I laughed out loud and once again experienced the simplicity of business war.
He tapped his fingertips on the table, now looking to see if Tesla would remain secretive.
The longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility. When it cannot hold on, the stock price will explode.
At half past twelve, Lu Liang received a call from Zhang Chen. The other party was excited and incoherent: "Mr. Lu, have you rested?"
Lu Liang laughed: "You haven't rested yet. , I just watched the movie. It was very good. How much was the box office on the first day? "
"Mr. Lu, the box office on the first day was 35 million, and the Douban score was 8.4." Zhang Chen almost cried with excitement.
Although The Sorrow of Charlotte has received a very good reputation, there are still some movies that are either well-received or not well-received.
Only after it is released, the actual box office will be real.
35 million on the first day, Maoyan scored 9.4 points, Douban scored 8.4 points, and many media predicted a total box office of 520 million.
This also made his hanging heart finally settle in his stomach.
In the past week, Zhang Chen could barely get a good night's sleep, and now it seems that he won't be able to sleep well these days either.
But unlike the uneasiness of the past week, these days are due to excitement and excitement.
“What did Wanda say?” Lu Liang asked with a smile.
Normally, a movie is composed of three parties: production, distribution, and screening. He is an investor in the production. Wanda, with its deep pockets, undertakes distribution and screening.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lin from Wanda plans to spend the most money to promote Charlotte."
Zhang Chen looked a little dazed because he suddenly remembered the day they signed the investment contract.
At that time, Lu Liang also said that he expected them to increase the publicity and distribution funds to 300% of the cost, which is 60 million.
Unexpectedly, the publicity and distribution expenses are really full now.
"Calculate how much you need. Just send me the amount you need." After Lu Liang finished speaking, he planned to hang up the phone.
"Mr. Lu, would you like to come over?" Zhang Chen asked hurriedly and cautiously.
Lu Liang pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Then I'll ask Mr. Tang to come over."
Production, distribution, and screening. After a movie is finished, the status of the three companies is completely reversed. That is, the screening power is the greatest, followed by distribution, and finally the production. In principle, the box office splitting of a movie adopts the splitting method of 43 and 57. The producer and distributor share 43% of the box office, and the exhibitor enjoys 57% of the box office.
But it’s just a principle.
Because theater chains tend to bully customers, the proportion of production and distribution that can actually be accounted for is far less than 43%.
After all, compared to Wanda Cinema, Happy Twist is just a little ant that can be crushed to death at will.
But Lu Liang is different. He is a capital boss with funds in his hands, so even Lao Wang must treat him with courtesy.
So Zhang Chen hopes that Lu Liang will come forward to help support their production side and try not to let the theater chain squeeze them too hard.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for disturbing your rest."
Zhang Chen was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
At the same time, online related entries about Charlotte’s troubles have also exceeded the sales of Tesla Edamame X.
A movie ticket costs dozens of yuan, and a car costs millions. Netizens will feel more connected to the former.
“The production cost was 20 million, and the box office on the first day was 35 million. The dark horse of the year has been born.”
“I didn’t expect that such a clichéd story could be so exciting and beautiful.”< br>
“In one sentence, it proves that you have seen Charlotte.”
“No~Qiu Ya~”
The discussion on the Internet is in full swing, and some forces lurking in the film and television industry are also beginning to make moves.
Although the movie has been released, it does not mean that there is no profit to be made. The publicity fee can also be compared to a kind of financing.
Happy Mahua is a company that is new to the film industry and may not be able to afford the 43% of the promotion fee. They are happy to oblige.
Maybe there are some film investors who can’t afford the publicity fee for following the investment, so they would be happy to help.
No matter how difficult it is, you can still make a friend. The return of funds invested in a movie is slow and cumbersome, and the box office may collapse later.
Assuming a total box office of 500 million and a further 22% discount, they would be happy to take back the equity and help bear the risk.
All in all, Kaixin Mahua, who has no background in the film and television industry, spent 20 million yuan to produce a movie that may have a box office of over 500 million yuan. It has become a big piece of meat that everyone wants to take a bite of.
So, they searched and searched...
Finally they found Lu Liang, who accounted for 25% of the investment. They all felt as if they had seen a ghost, and suddenly lost all interest.
After all, the news that Tianxing Private Equity updated its net worth in the first month and made a profit of 84% has spread in the circle.
Countless bigwigs lined up waving banknotes, expecting Lu Liang to launch his second fund.
If Lu Liang is offended now, he probably won’t even need to take action. Of course, someone will help.
He has become a new force.
......
At early one in the morning, Lu Liang was finally done.
He took out two ticket stubs, took a photo, and uploaded the scarf: "It looks good. I love it. Come and see it."
After all, his investment accounted for 25%, and no one can dilute his equity. The box office is high. points, you can also earn more points.
Lu Liang threw away the ticket stub and put away his mobile phone, not bothering to respond to netizens' questions about who he was going to the movie with.
When I walked to the rest area, I saw Su Wanyu curled up in a ball like a cat, her eyelids kept fighting.
She seemed to be asleep, but not like she was asleep. Her eyes were dull and dull: "Are you done?"
"You're done, go back to sleep." Lu Liang laughed and asked softly: "Do you still want me to hug you?"
Su Wanyu suddenly woke up, opened her eyes wide, and there may be some hesitation in her eyes: "Is that okay? "
" If you are not too heavy."
"I am only a hundred years old."
Su Wanyu jumped on Lu Liang's back excitedly, touched his broad shoulders, and said happily: "It's broad. , so comfortable.”
"Let's go back."
Lu Liang couldn't help but laugh, and asked his old friend to close the door and lock it, then go back to sleep, and he drove back himself.
