Chapter 889 Financing; Ye Ning
“At noon today, Alibaba issued a long announcement:
First: The group has now obtained absolute controlling stake in Youku and will continue to acquire shares from the remaining shareholders. Buy the original shares of Youku;”
Second: Youku will officially start the delisting process from now on; it plans to delist from the New York Stock Exchange within half a year and completely complete the privatization;
Third: Mr. Gu Yongqiang, the former chairman of Youku, will continue to serve as chairman of Youku temporarily until Youku completes the privatization process before making other appointments. ”
“According to people familiar with the matter, Alibaba’s aggressive acquisition of Youku, with a total transaction amount of nearly 30 billion yuan, was paid entirely in cash!”
“Since yesterday, Alibaba’s entertainment plan has taken a big step forward. Alibaba Pictures will form a strong complementarity with Youku in terms of functions..."
...
I have to admit that Alibaba has completely swallowed up the news of Youku. It is undoubtedly a major earthquake and storm for the entire film and television industry, entertainment industry, and entertainment industry.
This means that Alibaba, one of the leading Internet companies, has further "controlled" the film, television, entertainment and cultural industry, and its influence has once again increased dramatically.
Because Youku, a video website, accounts for more than one-third of the market share! It is one of the important broadcasting platforms for works in the film and television industry and is a port!
The major film and television companies in the industry have all become anxious because of Ali’s announcement. The reason is that it has a direct interest in himself.
In the past, Alibaba Pictures could only be said to be a strong competitor backed by the Internet parent company;
Now that Alibaba has won Youku, it has become everyone’s As one of the "buyers", who can guarantee that its subsidiary Alibaba Pictures will not act like a fox and a tiger?
Because whether it is a TV series or a movie, it must be logged on the Internet broadcast platform! If Alibaba Pictures wants to invest in your high-quality film and television project, how should you respond?
At 7:30 in the evening, Lin Nan drove out again; and this time, he took Liu Yifei with him and drove Liu Yifei's car.
In a high-end restaurant not far from the light, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, and Wang Wei were already waiting here.
In the only small banquet hall on the 16th floor, Wang Changtian had already poured himself champagne before the food was served.
“Alibaba spent 28 billion to obtain absolute controlling rights. It is conservatively estimated that they hold more than two-thirds of the shares, or even 80%;
And in the past two years, they have The shares of Youku acquired through successive acquisitions should be no less than 40%! By comparison, after Tudou is listed, our market value cannot be less than 60 billion..."
The more Wang Changtian talks, the more excited he becomes. Guangguang is working hard to return to 20 billion; but Tudou can easily be valued at this much! The types of companies are different, it’s really incomparable!
"It's a bit early to say this. After all, Youku is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and we are going to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."
Ye Ning said calmly, even faintly Some frowned.
It should have been a happy thing, but his mood was not like this, and the reason came from within Wanda. He just wanted some shares...
Hearing Ye Ning's words, Wang Changtian did not refute, nodded and then said something else:
"We have to learn from Youku's mistakes. The founder of Gu has now directly become 'continue to serve as interim chairman';
This is the weakness of unicorn companies. First, the establishment time is short. The foundation is weak; secondly, it is not good for the shareholding structure to be too dispersed! Mr. Wang, are you sure there is no problem with Tudou?”
Of course Wang Wei understood what Wang Changtian asked, and he nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, although the Hong Kong stock market currently does not allow companies with dual-class share structures to be listed, a small number of large companies can negotiate, and Tudou is among them!
Earlier, I Just bring someone to negotiate with them; Director Lin knows this situation, otherwise he wouldn’t keep emphasizing this matter.”
"That's good!"
Wang Changtian still had a smile on his face, just as he joked in front of Lin Nan a long time ago, saying that he might have to rely on potatoes for retirement in the future; because the giants in the film and television industry There are many, and the competition is very difficult, but there are only two or three giants on video websites!
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Wanda has been crazy about shopping abroad recently. It seems that they have all been bought in Hollywood? Mr. Ye, is this true?"
It stands to reason. Ye Ning shouldn't have answered such a secret no matter how it was spread outside, but at this moment he nodded mysteriously:
"It should be soon, in just two or three months, Wanda will enter Hollywood. Bigger than Crystal Pictures ”
Wang Changtian paused for a moment and realized that he had asked too much, "Then I wish Wanda success."
While the few people were talking, the foreman of the hotel outside had already come in with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei. .
"It seems that you are all more active than me? Hahaha..."
"Oh, Yifei is here too. This is the first time I've seen her."
Wang Changtian said with a smile. The first time he was referring to was when several people were discussing the financing and listing of Tudou, the first time he saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei coming together.
"I'm just here to have a meal with Lin Nan. Director Wang, Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang, good evening." Liu Yifei greeted the three of them in turn.
"Dr. Wang, now?"
"It's time to serve."
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
The hotel foreman is obviously with Wang Changtian was familiar with him and immediately retreated after receiving the answer.
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and sat down. At this moment, everyone was here.
The reason why Lin Nan brought Liu Yifei here today is because Tudou is really going to start financing and launch its listing plan! And Liu Yifei owns half of his things.
The waiter eagerly served several people with more tea, and then withdrew.
No one spoke about business until a team of waiters came in with a dining cart and served a table of more than thirty dishes. After everyone left, Wang Wei spoke.
“Director Lin, according to the plan, we can release a financing announcement to the outside world.”
"When the financing announcement is made, there will definitely be many people coming to make ideas." Wang Changtian added.
"There should be capital with a name, including finance, Internet, and banking!" Ye Ning affirmed. Lin Nan silently helped Liu Yifei hold the dishes, and after a few seconds he said with a smile:
"No matter how many people have made up their minds, we still can't make a decision?
The earliest it will be released publicly on the 18th, which is the day after tomorrow. Well. By then I will be on the set, and basically no one will be able to harass me.”
"The day after tomorrow? Okay!"
For a moment, Wang Wei and Wang Changtian said in unison, quite excited. Ye Ning just smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Ye, are you worried?"
Lin Nan noticed it and asked immediately.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a problem at work, it’s a small matter.
By the way, does Yifei want to be a director of Tudou? Director Lin has so many shares. "
Ye Ning changed the topic and talked about Liu Yifei.
"Me? I'll forget it, I'm tired of being in Hongxingwu. "
Liu Yifei smiled and shook her head, decisively rejecting the proposal, but she was very happy in her heart, and it was written all over her face.
"There is one more thing, we have to do it in the end. How many rounds of financing should you do and then submit an IPO? "Wang Changtian glanced at Lin Nan.
It stands to reason that Tudou's strength is sufficient. What is needed in the financing process is not money, but more allies and business relationships.
“Let’s finish the first round first, and then we’ll talk about it later. But there will definitely not be a third round!”
Lin Nan replied. Based on Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight and Wanda, plus Tudou, this is already a closed loop;
The next thing to do is how to make this "loop" bigger! New entrants must be carefully selected, and not everyone can join.
"Okay, you can do it like this. To be immodest, potatoes are very popular now! Haha..."
The purpose of today's dinner is not mainly to talk about business, because it only takes a few minutes to talk about business; the real purpose of this meal is to celebrate, to celebrate the official launch of potato's journey to the market!
At around nine o'clock in the evening, everyone dispersed. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei left first. The former was drunk, so the latter drove.
"Director Lin didn't sign the pre-marriage contract?"
Wang Wei looked at the sports car going away and asked Wang Changtian in a low voice.
"Well, they didn't sign." At this moment, Wang Changtian smiled very honestly, as if he had seen something beautiful.
"That's really enviable." Wang Wei sighed a little, so courageous!
At around 9:30, Ye Ning left alone. He had not touched the wine just now.
While Maybach was waiting for the red light, he made a phone call and went out.
"Hello?" A question came from the other side, and a faint smile could be heard.
“Mr. Wang, don’t you have any notes from me?”
"Mr. Ye was joking, I just didn't see it clearly just now; I was socializing outside at the moment and drank some wine."
The call paused for a second, and Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to ask:
" Mr. Ye, the reason for calling me so late is..."
"Let me confirm again whether the conditions Huayi promised me before have changed."
In an instant, Wang Zhonglei's. His breathing was a little short. Although Ye Ning told him before that he would finish his job at Wanda for a year... But it was no different from perfunctory, just waiting for a price to sell, but at this moment...
< br>
"It's never changed, only more! How about Mr. Ye coming over for a drink now? It's not here in my club anymore. There are so many people here, let's move to another place?"
Wang Zhonglei asked cautiously Tao, very much looking forward to it.
Both ends of the phone were silent again, only the sound of the wind blowing into the car.
After a long time, Ye Ning's voice sounded: "Okay, give me the address."
"Okay! I'm waiting for Mr. Ye..."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ning's breath that was holding in her heart also dissipated, feeling a little weak. He held the steering wheel and gritted his teeth: "That's it."
On the other side, Wang Zhonglei happily left the club and stood at the door waiting for the driver to drive over.
At the same time, he also made a phone call.
"Brother, please come out. Ye Ning's matter is completely settled! He is on the way and will be at the same place in a while."
"Okay, I'll go out right now."
Upon hearing the good news, Wang Zhongjun immediately responded, "This is Wanda's mainstay in the film and television industry and its capable person!"
……
The Ferrari drove into the villa and drove directly to the garage.
"Hurry up and go to sleep. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow." Liu Yifei looked at the unread messages on her phone and said to Lin Nan.
“We all made an appointment to meet tomorrow?”
"Well, everyone finally has a chance to get it together. By the way, I should be with the acting department, you go to the directing department?"
Liu Yifei looked through the chat history in the group, everyone was Talking about the red carpet, someone has already inquired about the process arrangements.
"Probably, I have to sign in tomorrow, just like when I was in school. Haha..."
