Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 227: Chain of plans, Tangren Jiangshan Lufengzuo, listing plan!

……

"Oh? Why? My new company is currently just an empty shell. Tangren's valuation is at least 3 million."

"Also, as far as I know, there are investors in the market who want to invest in Tangren, but, Mr. Cai, you rejected them all before..."

Lu Feng’s first reaction to this proposal was that it was like pie in the sky!

The second reaction was, Boss Cai, is he trying to cheat him?
As we all know, Boss Cai has always regarded the company as his own private property.

In the entire film and television industry, Tangren’s capital operations are particularly rare.

It can be said that it almost does not exist.

Boss Cai has always been wary of external capital.

Perhaps because he has been in Hong Kong and Taiwan for a long time, Boss Cai knows very well that capital is a crocodile with fangs. It is easy to let the wolf into the house, but it is extremely difficult to drive it out.

For so many years, she has been guarding the Tang people's land like a rich landlord.

Of course, the Tang people were not willful just because they were rich.

Tangren's works are very stingy in cost control, whether it is costumes, props, or special effects. The term "Poor Tang" is appropriate.

Netizens even wrote a couplet to praise Tangren’s stingy behavior.

——[Their own actors are underpaid, props and costumes often travel through time, special effects are worth 50 cents for each dollar, and the script is extremely lame]

"Capital is good at inflating bubbles and then finding fools to take over... They don't care whether the industry will be destroyed, but we want to stay in this industry for life."

Boss Cai had nothing to hide from Lu Feng, and said seriously, "I've been in Hong Kong and Taiwan for a long time, and I know very well that once a large amount of capital is involved, the film and television industry will fall into a state of scrambling for resources and talent."

"This is vicious competition... The entire industry will become impetuous, with actors competing with each other for value instead of focusing on improving their acting skills. This industry will only get worse."

"In this way, all upstream and downstream related industry chain companies will not benefit."

"The Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television industry is ruined just like that!"

"I think the current pay for celebrities is already very high. A TV series with a few main characters can easily earn millions of yuan. If they shoot two series a year, that's 200 million yuan, which is already very good."

"If capital gets involved on a large scale, actors' salaries will easily exceed 10 million yuan. How can we continue to make money with our projects? Can we still make a profit?"

"The entire industry will probably become distorted!"

Boss Cai's words were quite sincere.

In the past, she would never say such things to Lu Feng... because Lu Feng himself is a star artist, and is naturally opposed to capitalists like her.

But now, Lu Feng is going to start his own company and become a capitalist, so he must have thought about this issue in his mind.

"Mr. Cai, this is a very insightful comment."

Lu Feng didn't expect that Boss Cai had such insight.

I have to say, she has a pretty good vision.

"Unfortunately, this is the general trend."

The tide of the times will not stop because of one person.

Tangren is unwilling to accept capitalization operations, but there are more than one company in the market.

Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Cai, even if you don't want to raise funds, there will be other companies that will accept the financing."

"As far as I know, Huace should be seeking a listing."

Lu Feng dropped a bombshell!
Huace was listed in 2010 and must have started capital operations by now.

Going public is just the first step for the company.

In 2013, Huace raised 5.5 million yuan in supporting funds in the capital market and acquired Croton Media for 16.52 billion yuan.

For a time, the limelight was overwhelming.

Croton Media, whose subsidiary Syndicate Pictures, just collaborated with Lu Feng to film "Love Apartment".

Lu Feng persuaded Tang Yan to go to Chengdu to look at Chen Yuqi's resources, which was another new project of Syndicate Pictures, "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family".

This company's production capabilities, the probability of producing hit products, and its ability to track and control the market are not inferior to Huace or Tangren.

After Huace completed the acquisition of Croton Media, it became almost invincible in the TV drama market, directly squeezing out Tangren and making it unable to survive.

In another time and space, it didn't take long for the Tang people to fall apart.

The director was poached, the stylist was poached, the art director was poached... At Tangren, except for the boss, almost all the people behind the scenes were poached overnight.

More importantly, after these gold medal creators left, they quickly helped their opponents create several hit products, which directly dealt a direct blow to Tangren.

It accelerated the decline of the Tang people.

However, it is 2008 now, and there is still time for everything!
"Huace is going public, are you sure?"

Upon hearing the news, Boss Cai was indeed upset.

She always thought that Tangren was the top dog in the TV drama industry, and what was Huace? It wasn't just because they produced more that they could be considered the top dog.

Every TV series produced by Tangren is a masterpiece.

Huace only produces a large number of TV series, but in terms of the quality of the TV series, it is far inferior to Tangren.

But now, Huace is going to go public?

It really caught her off guard.

Once Huace, its competitor, goes public and raises money, troubles will probably ensue... In order to cope with this situation, Tangren will probably have to roll up its sleeves.

Because, if you can't beat others, you will die!

The best way is for Tangren to go public faster than Huace, so that they can compete together in the capital market... and in this case, I have Lu Feng on my side!
A sure win!

But if it is not listed, Lu Feng's biggest buff, the [God of Air], cannot be fully utilized.

Go public, must go public!
In the short-selling track that Lu Feng is familiar with, kill Huace!

At this moment, Boss Cai was a little moved.

"Huace will definitely go public. We'll make a move next year or the year after, when confidence in the capital market recovers a bit."

Lu Feng said with certainty.

A major event like Huace's listing is unlikely to be affected by a little butterfly like him.

Seeing that Boss Cai looked conflicted, Lu Feng knew that she was probably upset at the moment.

Lu Feng continued, "If Huace successfully goes public, it will be the first TV drama company to go public and will attract significant market attention. This will have immeasurable benefits for its future development."

After a pause, Lu Feng sighed and said something that touched his heart: "This honor should belong to the Tang people."

Hearing this, Boss Cai was immediately excited and clenched his fists.

Yes!

If Tangren accepts capitalization operations, it can also be listed!

After going public, her wealth will increase significantly, and she will also receive attention from the media, which will directly enhance the company's reputation.

But after going public, will the company still be under her control?
Boss Cai is very worried about this.

Seeing that Boss Cai seemed to be somewhat interested, Lu Feng continued, "If Boss Cai is planning to take Tangren public, you can ask Boss Wang and Uncle Biao to introduce some friends in investment banks."

Uncle Biao just finished his PhD at Tsinghua University and is currently working with Bona's Yu Dong on a US IPO, looking like a big-name investor. As for Mr. Wang, there's no need to elaborate...

If Tangren wants to go public, it must allow Shanghai Film Group to take some shares and give away a board seat.

Share the benefits equally and try to get everyone on board your chariot.

Make a lot of friends.

Seeing that Boss Cai was still hesitating, Lu Feng changed the subject and said calmly, "Of course, there's no rush for the listing... Tangren's current performance report isn't particularly impressive, and the number of TV series produced each year is not enough, only about 100 episodes, which is far from enough."

"In addition, the current capital market is very sluggish, and it is extremely difficult to go public at this time."

"I estimate that within two years at most, the market will improve and confidence in the capital market will return. As for the company, we will try our best to complete several major projects in the next two years and deliver a good report card to reassure the market and investors."

"In this way, going public will be a natural outcome."

Lu Feng fooled Boss Cai for a long time, actually just to make Boss Cai accept his investment and help him develop more projects!

Especially the project "Sito".

Lu Feng doesn’t have the energy to do it himself, and he doesn’t have a sufficient team... On Tangren’s side, the production team is ready.

After finishing "Chinese Paladin III", Boss Cai did not dare to undertake a big project like "Sito" before receiving payment. If he lost money, it would be a big blow.

Based on her habits, she will probably shoot a small production as a transition.

Otherwise, the subordinates would be left without jobs and run away.

However, Boss Cai has no money, but Lu Feng has money. As long as Boss Cai agrees, the fate of the Tang people will change!

Boss Cai also doesn't need to worry about Lu Feng seizing power.

She knew very well that if Lu Feng wanted to make money, there would be plenty of short-selling opportunities in the financial market... There was no need for him to come to this small quagmire of Tangren.

Thankless effort.

Therefore, Boss Cai has actually been considering the equity swap with Lufeng for many days.

There is basically no risk.

There are quite a few benefits.

"This matter of the company going public is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the company's management."

For such a big matter, Boss Cai certainly didn't dare to make a decision based on Lu Feng's nonsense. He had to go back and find a few confidants to discuss it.

She had just been in a whim and wanted to tie Lu Feng down completely, so that next time, Lu Feng could lead her to short sell.

Because Lu Feng's way of playing makes money too quickly!
She was really jealous.

During this month, Lu Feng helped her earn 1500 million!
Moreover, it is not earned by luck.

A long time ago, Lu Feng analyzed with everyone that an economic crisis would come and the price of industrial copper would plummet.

This money is a sure profit.

It’s a pity that she was still a little timid and didn’t completely trust Lu Feng.

If she had been bolder a month ago and invested tens of millions like Lu Feng, she could have retired by now.

She met with friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan a few days ago, and they were all complaining that the US subprime mortgage crisis had come, and that the economic situation might be bad next, companies would lay off employees, and life would be difficult.

Each one of them is pessimistic about the future.

Lu Feng is a good guy. He made a fortune directly by taking advantage of the economic crisis!
I can only say that people’s thoughts really determine the differences in their destinies!
Moreover, Lu Feng does not make money by luck.

They rely on their genius minds and calculations.

During this period, Lu Feng's outstanding vision and insightful analysis of the economic situation really made Boss Cai admire him very much!

Today, Lu Feng was even more generous. He didn't even ask for any handling fees. He settled the profits on the spot and asked his men to go to the bank and transfer the money to everyone.

It feels like an ancient hero who spends money lavishly.

Even Boss Cai was a little fascinated by it.

She felt that if she were 10 years younger, she might have joined this Shura field and competed with Liu Shishi for her favor.

That's why she came up with the idea of ​​making Lu Feng a shareholder of her company...

At this stage, Lu Feng's newly established company is just an empty shell. Boss Cai's share swap agreement is equivalent to giving him tens of millions.

Of course, Boss Cai felt that he was not at a disadvantage.

Lu Feng earned 1500 million yuan this time, which he could use as money to buy company shares.

Moreover, Boss Cai is not afraid that Lu Feng will mess around in Tangren Company... As long as he sends our general Liu Shishi and whispers something in his ear, Lu Feng will definitely have no objection.

But how did the conversation turn into discussing taking Tangren public together?
I can only say that Lu Feng is such a good fool!
Boss Cai was moved... She knew that she would not be able to sleep tonight!
……

"Lu Feng, what did you talk about with Sister K in the office? Why did she look so uneasy after she came out?"

After Lu Feng finished talking with Boss Cai, he went outside to get some fresh air.

Liu Shishi came over immediately and asked what was going on.

"After a while, I will be the second largest shareholder of your company. From now on, you can walk sideways in the company."

Lu Feng smiled mysteriously and whispered to Liu Shishi about Boss Cai's proposal.

"Huh? Sister K must have been under a spell. She's actually willing to give away her company shares?"

When Liu Shishi heard this, she found it a little unbelievable.

Boss Cai, the miser, ran Tangren like a rock, but unexpectedly, he made an exception for Lu Feng.

The sun really came out in the west.

However, considering that Lu Feng helped Boss Cai earn 1500 million in a month, it is normal for Boss Cai to take this action.

After all, you can only catch the big fish if you play the long game.

This time it is 1500 million. Next time if you use 1500 million as capital to gamble, you might be able to make 5000 million.

Isn’t it Lu Feng?
He took out 4000 million to gamble and made more than 1 million.

Now, Lu Feng has 1 million in cash, plus his own family business... his net worth has surpassed Boss Cai!
Boss Cai must be jealous.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Boss Cai will probably call you in for a talk later."

It wasn't long before Lu Feng finished speaking.

Hu Ge came to call Liu Shishi and said that Boss Cai wanted to talk to them and asked them to go to the office.

"You're right."

Liu Shishi was dumbfounded. This Lu Feng guy was like a blind fortune teller. How could he be so accurate?

She turned to look at Hu Ge: "Old Hu, do you know that Sister K asked us to come over, what's the matter?"

Hu Ge spread his hands and said, "How should I know? But I guess it must have something to do with your husband."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is our husband?"

Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment, but was very happy in her heart.

Hu Ge is not completely useless. At least he has good vision and thinks that he and Lu Feng are a perfect match.
