I want to make headlines

Chapter 495 Outlines
For a star worth 800 million dollars in endorsements, how much traffic can he bring in once he puts all his efforts into promoting the endorsement?

Undoubtedly huge.

However, although this shows that Forrest Gump is really powerful, it is not enough to control Maoyan alone. It is foreseeable that the subsidized ticketing implemented by Maoyan will be a money-burning strategy like group buying.

It is inevitable to fight a price war in staking land.

Compared with Forrest Gump, Wang Xing hopes to introduce a cash cow. Ali and Sequoia Capital invested 5000 million US dollars in the second round of financing before, but he has scruples about giants like Ali.

If we continue to introduce funds from Ali, I am afraid that the dominance of Meituan may not be on our side in the future.

Wang Xing's consideration of funds is not only to consider the continuous input in the future, but also to consider the stability of the rights within the group. He does not want to join the giants, but wants to become a giant himself.

From another point of view, the simple funds of Forrest Gump Studio are more beneficial.

Endorsement is a good bargaining chip, which is very beneficial to attract users at the current stage. On the contrary, if Forrest Gump is pushed to the opponent, it may be a bit bad.

Wang Xing had a tendency in his heart, and another point of doubt was A-Gump's financial situation. The other party repeatedly asked for a controlling stake, and the valuation of Maoyan's pure independence should be at least 10 billion Huaxia coins.

[-] million is not an easy number, let alone follow-up.

Wang Xing hopes that the funds will be simple, but he is unwilling to have subsequent turmoil.

"Holding is not enough, 40% of the shares." Wang Xing thought for a long time and gave a figure.

Gan Jing glanced at Zhou Pu, then at Lao Chen, and gestured with his eyes. Naturally, Zhou Pu said, "If there is no controlling stake, we need to be slightly involved in the daily management and operation. As for the share, 40 and 49 The difference is not that big.”

Chen Bin, senior vice president of Meituan, said: "The difference is huge, there are 9 points."

dong dong dong.

Gan Jing knocked on the table and said, "Let's discuss it."

Wang Xing and the others expressed their understanding, and politely got up and left the meeting room. They also needed to discuss the information just now.

After the people from Meituan went out, Lao Chen got up and turned around. He didn't see the surveillance video, and nodded at the two of them.

Seeing this, Zhou Pu first made a judgment: "I met Wang Xing today, and my judgment is clearer. Meituan's losses are huge. Its financial situation has always been opaque, and the money from the previous B round of financing may have been spent almost. Now it is a good time."

After Lao Chen listened, he just asked silently: "A-Gump, has Wanda contacted you for online ticketing?"

Zhou Pu heard him ask, and looked at A-Gump with the same questioning eyes.

Gan Jing was slightly taken aback, and said with both laughter and laughter: "Obviously I was fooled by them. Didn't Wanda invite me to a schedule earlier? Hey, you can't see that?"

The two of them wiped their sweat together, A-Gump's autonomy was too high, he didn't know if this happened at all, and this guy's acting skills were so good, it sounded like it was real!
No, it's more real than real!

"I didn't plan to get the controlling stake. Now I have a question to think about." Gan Jing glanced at the frosted glass, "My shares in Huaxia Special Effects are gradually increasing. What if I use it to replace Maoyan's shares?"

Huaxia Special Effects is doing it at a loss. The loss is the remuneration money, but it is calculated in the company's shares. Recently, the reputation of special effects is rising, and Maoyan is still in the stage of expanding its territory. The two shares are exchanged. After a while, it may not be clear who is losing and who is gaining.

This is a bit of a tricky operation.

Zhou Pu fell into deep thought. If Huaxia Special Effects can be successfully listed in the future, it will be a big piece of cake. Now it is a bit of a loss to replace Maoyan, but if the trend of Maoyan is better...

He's a little hard to pin down, and going public isn't an easy task.

Gan Jing continued to talk about his thoughts: "The share replacement in the upstream and downstream of film and television is beneficial. I think Maoyan should agree. It was Wang Xing who was talking just now, but the person in charge of Maoyan listened very seriously. He should be right. We're very interested."

"Part of the share exchange, part of the funds, and part of my personal brand." Gan Jing stretched out three fingers, "In terms of funds, the equity of Uber in the United States can be cashed out, which is more than enough for Maoyan."

Zhou Pu shook his head and said, "It's good to use a bank loan, or dismantle it from Xiaomi. Their financial situation is very good. The equity in the United States is very valuable, and it can be used as a guarantee if it is not needed for the time being."

Right now, Gan Jing’s most valuable thing is the equity. On the contrary, the money he earns from filming is not enough in the face of the company’s size. Xiaomi and Uber’s value-added is very fast, and the situation is very good.

However, because it took a lot of equity when investing in Uber, its value is still higher than that of Xiaomi. Although it has been diluted by financing, a large part of it is still retained. People on Wall Street have always wanted to take over these shares, which are high-quality. assets.

The three of them discussed and discussed for a while. The biggest gain from this trip to Meituan was not the undecided contact process, but the judgment of the current situation.

Zhou Pu is very confident that if Maoyan does not talk well here, Guevara and Ali will still have a lot of room for maneuver.

After a while, when Wang Xing and others came in, Zhou Pu's confidence was no longer needed. They agreed that A-Gump Studio would hold 40% of the shares, and they could use Huaxia Special Effects' share replacement and capital injection.

However, while he does not have a controlling stake, Wang Xing also requires the studio not to participate in daily decision-making.

This made Gan Jing hesitate a little.

If the holding and decision-making are not involved, it will be easy to be cheated.

This time, the progress jumped a step forward, and the three of them had to discuss again. In the end, Zhou Pu drafted a timetable for capital injection and several guarantee contracts, which can be regarded as eliminating part of the risk.

Entering the current situation, there are not many giants, not many competitors, and Meituan is facing huge financial pressure.

It is not easy to make money on a pure online ticketing platform, but if it succeeds in attracting users and then expands upstream, it will be a very interesting thing.

What Gan Jing is interested in now is this point, the special effects production of the development trend of movies, the ticketing platform of the development trend of the Internet, and the excellent actors of his own studio... If the development momentum is good and they can be combined, what can they do? What kind of effect?
This is an expected development.

Gan Jing’s idea can be vaguely seen, but Maoyan has confirmed an intention, and the follow-up negotiations need to be further discussed. Share valuation and replacement are difficult points, and the estimation of the potential value of personal brands is also a problem. Instead, it is funds. It's actually quite solid.

Meituan didn't know about this, and Gan Jing didn't think they needed to know.

The appreciation of Uber in the United States is very fast, and he feels that this area is likely to surprise a group of people in the not-too-distant future.
