Chapter 789 Laying out the future trend
“Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, you can just make a phone call for this kind of thing, why do you need to come in person.”
Just arrived in Shanghai and stayed for a while At night, Xiangyang, who didn't even enjoy Tomson's first-class bed, met Yu Dong and Wang Changtian who came to visit the next day.
When I heard the reason, I couldn’t help laughing.
He didn’t even know what these two people were thinking.
To say that there is no friendship, flying all the way over to talk about this matter is okay.
We have known each other for such a long time.
Facing their intentions, Xiang Yang’s eyes lit up.
If I remember correctly, Guangzhou Lighting later spent a lot of money to acquire Maoyan. The amount of money spent was not small. It is said that the investment was around 2 billion.
Now the two of them want to plan ahead
"From my point of view, this is a very good thing. It will not only allow the two companies to more advantageously supplement their industrial strategic resources, but also rely on their own ticketing companies to obtain accurate data support for We will provide better support for the precise marketing of future movies.”
It is of course a good thing for Bona and Enlight Pictures to handle their own ticketing.
If you do it well, you will not only be able to reap the dividends of future development in this field, but you will also be able to make better choices in your own investment, production, and distribution of films.
The future movie market will be very complicated.
One generation likes the things of the other.
Take the early generation who loved Hong Kong movies as an example. Why do young people later have so little interest in Hong Kong stars and movies?
Because times have changed.
Information is easier to obtain, and it can be regarded as the gravedigger of Hong Kong films.
Those Hong Kong films that were put on the altar by movie fans in the 1980s, 1990s, and even in the new century were all copied, borrowed from, or cobbled together.
It can be regarded as the last entombment of Hong Kong films.
The famous line "I'm not targeting anyone, everyone here is rubbish" has been recited by countless fans of Zhou Xingxing.
There are many famous jokes in the film.
But who would have thought that his words were copied directly from the Neon comics by Chi Jie.
In fact, as early as when it was released, the media in Hong Kong accused him of plagiarism.
It’s just that there wasn’t much coverage inland.
But then again, Happy Twist's "Shameful Iron Fist" chose to copy "Lord of Destruction" and got good returns at the box office.
Who would have thought of this?
But how long can low scores and high box office last?
Audiences are not fools, and they will not choose to go into the cinema after everything is different.
As a film production company, mastering an online ticket purchasing platform that has the final say will not only be able to better respond to future changes in the market, but also consolidate and enhance its position in this industry chain.
To put it bluntly, besides spending money, there are many benefits.
How could Xiangyang prevent Wang Changtian and Yu Dong from doing such a good thing? It was just a few years in advance.
But a few years in advance, the rewards are different.
“If you two don’t mind, I would like to introduce DST to you. I believe you can get more financial support.”
Xiangyang never says no to money given to him.
He doesn’t want to learn from the negative teaching materials around him.
"Mr. Xiang means" Yu Dong's heart was pounding. It seemed that he was right to come here specifically to ask Xiang Yang for advice on this matter.
Not only gives advice, but also attracts people to invest.
In terms of funding, Bona’s stall is really incomparable to Enlight Pictures.
And that's why he didn't want to ask Han Sanping to come with him.
He is here. With his current obsession with hard work and enterprising coupled with his influence in the circle, Bona can only make a wedding dress for Huaying.
Or, to put it more unpleasantly, whether or not Bona will be played with is another matter.
"If you want to quickly occupy the market, the investment of capital will put a lot of pressure on you. Moreover, once other capital focuses on this area, I am afraid the situation will be even more difficult." Xiang Yang rubbed his hands. The stubble that grew back on his chin analyzed.
The three BAT companies seem to have their own plans in this area in the future.
This can't be done with light and Bona alone.
"In this case, Mr. Wang and Mr. Yu, please don't rush to agree. Think about it first." Xiang Yang was not in a hurry to settle the matter today, but said:
"I have something more important to do today. How about we talk about it in detail when I get back?"
"It was me and Lao Yu who were a little abrupt." Wang Changtian, who had remained silent, looked at After Yu Dong glanced at him, he took over Xiang Yang's words.
But he was also a little curious, "Mr. Xiang, I have a question I would like to ask, what is Hermès Film Investment Company's opinion on this aspect"
"Mr. Wang, if you bring Hermès in, it will violate the cooperation agreement I reached with DST." Xiang Yang understood his thoughts and found an excuse casually.
Why did you drag Little John to invest in this?
That's not necessary.
"I understand, I understand." Hearing this, Wang Changtian nodded quickly.
When he said this, he knew what was going on.
"Okay, let's do this for now. I'll go change my clothes here." Xiangyang motioned for Bi Xiafu to continue entertaining Wang Changtian and Yu Dong before he stood up.
He is going to apply for a loan today and is very busy.
According to the plan, 90 million US dollars will be directly transferred to DST’s designated account, while the remaining 10 million US dollars will be directly converted into RMB and transferred to Liu Qianqian’s account.
Then when she comes to Shanghai to participate in the event, she will donate the sum of 70 million yuan to the guide dog training center.
Liu Qianqian paid more than 3 million yuan here.
It’s not a small number anymore.
If you are someone who only focuses on money, you can invest this huge sum of money for ordinary people.
Even if you buy a house, selling it at the best time is a big reward.
But Xiangyang’s eyes are not just about money.
He hasn't changed his clothes yet, and Ding Zhong, who went to CIB with him today, arrived as promised.
As soon as he came in, he saw that the person receiving him was Bei Shaffer. Ding Zhong said hello with a smile on his face, and then looked at Wang Changtian and Yu Dong, the two film and television company bosses who stood up from their seats.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu, we haven't seen you for a long time." Ding Zhong greeted them enthusiastically after meeting each other before.
"Why, you came here with Mr. Xiang?"
"No, the old man and I made a special trip here to ask Mr. Xiang some advice." Wang Changtian smiled.
"I'm afraid today." Ding Zhong was stunned. Can I ask about this?
"We've finished chatting. Lao Yu and I will find a place to sit down later and sort out our thoughts." Wang Changtian said.
He and Ding Zhong have similar ideas.
We must take Xiang Yang to do this together.
He has more cards than Hermès Film Investment Company.
But as for how many shares and DST should be exchanged for funds, as Xiang Yang said, he would have a good discussion with Yu Dong.
In addition, they must first reach an agreement on how to divide the shares between the two families.
"That's good. I'm afraid it will delay your business." Ding Zhong pursed his lips. Everyone is a boss and a smart person.
In just a few words, he knew that he had no hope of participating in this good thing.
Language is an artistic thing.
Just listening is not enough. You also need to use your brain.
"Mr. Ding, you're here so early." Xiang Yang came out of the innermost bedroom and heard movement in the living room with a smile on his face.
“Go early rather than late, otherwise I won’t be able to drink the coffee that Shaffer made for me.” Ding Zhong smiled heartily and lifted Anna Wintour’s daughter by the way.
Wang Changtian and Yu Dong were both faced with mineral water and glasses.
But he was drinking an iced Americano.
Can this treatment be the same?
If you two don’t call me for something good, then I can only say that the situation is small.
Do you know what my relationship is with Xiangyang?
He took a loan of US$100 million and I guaranteed it!
Hey hey hey.
When he thought that he could be Xiang Yang's guarantor, Ding Zhong felt an unexplainable sense of pride.
It's not that Xiang Yang owes him a favor for this, nor does it mean that if Xiang Yang can't come up with the money, he will have the first right to purchase the stocks he pledged.
On the contrary, in China, this good opportunity will be his turn.
The bank valued Xiangyang UBER's stock at US$20 million, which was far less than the actual valuation. However, Xiangyang's stock that CIB valued was impossible to mortgage.
So I found such a compromise.
But you want to say that Xiangyang can’t afford 100 million US dollars?
The moment he saw Xiang Yang holding Hermès H51 shares, Ding Zhong’s jaw almost dropped. He could swear that this stock would allow him to get a loan of 1 billion euros from Anta, and he would not even blink an eyebrow.
"Thank you for the hard work, Mr. Ding." After Xiangyang finished speaking, he turned to look at Bei Shaffer.
"The lawyers are ready," Bea Schaffer said.
"Okay." Xiangyang looked at the time and it was almost time to set off.
Seeing that Xiang Yang wanted to leave, Ding Zhong drank the coffee in one gulp.
Then he stood up and said hello to Wang Changtian and Yu Dong, "Two of you, I will accompany Mr. Xiang to do some important things first, and we will have a chance to get together."
Although I complained a lot about the two of them being incompatible, I still did what I needed to do to express my goodwill.
As for the publicity benefits brought by film and television to the brand, it is impossible for him to choose to ignore it when he stays with Xiang Yang, especially when he sees that such investment is even greater than the benefits brought by signing NBA superstars. He is also Think about how to better integrate your own brand with film and television investment.
FILA doesn’t need him to worry about.
But the development of Anta still needs to be planned by himself.
Just like the previous smart bracelet.
Several samples produced by the selected foundries during this period have been tested one after another.
When it goes public, we must make it bigger and stronger.
If it can appear in the film and television works invested by these two companies, it will also be good for Anta's advertising and marketing.
"You can't just focus on this, Weibo is also a good place to announce it." Xiang Yang reminded me when we were chatting about this on the road.
"I'm thinking about it too." Ding Zhong nodded, and he and Xiang Yang thought about it together.
Thanks to Liu Qianqian for this.
Especially due to the popularity of "Time Traveler" yesterday, the timeliness of Weibo has once again surpassed that of traditional portals.
I don’t know how many streets I have left behind print media and television.
"It's better than this. When the time comes, Mr. Ding can provide free experience for Xiamen Marathon players." Xiang Yang has always felt that sports activities are the real focus of interaction.
Giving each contestant a free bracelet seems to cost a lot.
But the user experience and exposure that comes with it make it even more professional.
Moreover, Anta's smart bracelets will not conflict with HYS's smart watches, because they target different consumer groups.
Even if Anta launches a smart watch, it remains to be seen whether it can develop into a replacement for HYS smart watch.
"As long as Mr. Xiang doesn't object, we at Anta are willing to organize this event better." Ding Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Recently, the company is increasing its investment and is preparing to follow HYS's example and establish its own ANTA community App.
The mall shopping function will also be launched at that time.
This is not only copying the business logic of HYS, but also a bit of poaching.
"Haha, Mr. Ding is joking. The better Anta develops, the more likely it is that our cooperation will be guaranteed."
Xiangyang waved his hand and said with a smile:
"However, it is difficult to be good at apps like this. And, in the case of Anta, I think your company should cooperate with more e-commerce companies.< br>
In this way, after the DST people arrive, I will take Mr. Ding to attend the meeting. You may take some time to listen, and maybe you will be enlightened."
Ding Zhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly. nod.
If he wants to go into e-commerce that is different from HYS, he needs to listen carefully to this business logic.
In addition, he was curious about what Xiangyang took him to listen to.
I am also curious as to what Xiangyang is planning to do by loaning so much money.
One hundred million US dollars, converted into RMB nearly 700 million.
For investment, although this personal fund is not unusually large, it is still considerable.
Especially combined with the fact that Xiangyang earned this wealth in a short period of time, this is shocking.
Could it be that he is going to use this money to acquire Huayi?
I suddenly remembered that Xiangyang had made a lot of money in Huayi's stocks before and liked investing.
It is difficult for Ding Zhong not to combine the two.
If this is the case, he can also smash the market and make a lot of money.
"Haha, Mr. Ding is joking. If you are shorting Huayi, why bother to go through so much trouble." Xiang Yang, who has already used Huayi's stocks in the secondary market as a cash machine, said with a smile:< br>
"The areas in which this money will be invested are mainly related to future business development trends."
"E-commerce?!"
Mr. Ding asked directly.
"Yeah." Xiangyang nodded and didn't hide anything.
DST Ding Zhong cannot join the game, but he can invest in some projects if he is willing.
Whoever earns this money earns it.
If his partner is serious about it, he will definitely not object.
After all, even Little John, who was never destined to make a fortune, was forced to get into the car.
What's more, an owner like Ding Zhong is not short of money.
And if he participates in the project together, he will be able to help himself in the companies he invests in if he has any trouble with DST people in the future.
"I'll take a closer look first." Ding Zhong didn't care much about how much money he invested.
Anta's stock market in Hong Kong Island has soared, providing the company with sufficient funds.
But as the successor of the enterprise.
This kind of lavish spending is not his alone.
“It’s okay, there’s enough time.”
Xiang Yang nodded slightly. If Alibaba and JD missed this wave of investment, Byte and Xiaohongshu would still have a chance.
“Boss, we are here.”
