Chapter 572 Investment Layout
Pantuan’s investment in Huaying Entertainment went smoothly, and after Lv Zhichuan got the agreement, Dong Wenhao and Shi Miaomiao also rushed over.
The executives of the two companies shook hands warmly and hugged each other. The scene was very harmonious.
Subsequently, Huaying’s boss Xu Xuan took them around and chatted about development issues.
“Mr. Dong, is the third school beauty contest being held?”
“Yes, if the winner wants to enter the entertainment industry, he or she can sign a contract with Huaying.”
“That’s great. Campus auditions have been quite popular in recent years. Many directors in the industry like to go to schools to look for actors.”
Xu Xuan took a few steps forward on her high heels and said again: "By the way, Mr. Dong, does Mr. Jiang have any instructions on the development direction of Huaying?"
Dong Wenhao pondered for a moment and then spoke: "The boss said that everything should continue as usual. We should continue on the path of an idol trainee and sign more beauties and handsome guys, preferably those with talents."
"clear."
"By the way, Miaomiao has a lot of copyrights to be developed, which are very popular among students. There was a movie called "Those Years" some time ago, and I wonder if Mr. Xu has seen it?"
But Dong Wenhao said that the boss was very interested in the company when he came to China Entertainment last time for a casting meeting.
Zhihu is a traffic pool for the younger generation and has a very strong ability to attract traffic.
Like Lv Zhichuan, he also couldn’t figure out how this company would help the ecological chain Jiang Qin was currently laying out.
Dong Wenhao walked forward as he spoke, met Lu Zhichuan, and returned to the hotel together.
The group-joining supply chain serves as the source of supply, which can continuously reduce costs for group-buying and bind users more tightly. In addition, it also has huge profitability.
But Dong Wenhao was actually at a loss. The boss’s next move after entering the information industry was to invest in an entertainment company that had no industry relevance at all.
The requirements for signing the contract are also very simple, that is, good appearance, good musical notes, and the ability to sing and dance. As for acting skills, you can have them or not, it doesn’t matter.
Tonight Toutiao controls public opinion channels and plays a promotional role in all products of the group grouping system.
He even wandered around, visiting practice rooms, recording studios, and was eventually caught learning how actresses shoot shower gel commercials.
Huaying Entertainment is only slightly famous in the industry.
Since 2006, they have only signed idol trainees who took the draft route.
During this period, Lu Zhichuan looked at the shareholding agreement in his hand, his eyes still somewhat blank.
This kind of company doesn't have many bright spots. I really don't know why the boss is interested.
So, when Zhihu’s school beauties competition became more and more popular, they immediately took the initiative to go there and signed some of the school beauties.
● Group buying is a sales platform and the most promising industry.
Dong Wenhao nodded: "The boss said that the track for youth commercial films has opened up. If Huaying's performing arts department has plans to invest in filming, they can try it in this field and give the company's artists some opportunities to show their faces."
It has several leading actresses and several second- and third-tier male actors. It has invested in and filmed eight film and television dramas, but there are very few successful works.
“Miaomiao, show your work to Mr. Xu later.”
Xu Xuan shook hands with Shi Miaomiao: "I have seen it. After all, it is an excellent film and television work."
Talent shows have become popular in recent years, and Huaying is also thinking about transformation.
"OK."
Can an entertainment company?
While eating at the Linda Canteen, Lv Zhichuan specifically asked Jiang Qin if he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.
But Jiang Qin said he was not interested and said that this company was just for him to practice.
But as the former manager of Alibaba’s investment department and a veteran investor, it is actually not necessary to practice.
Neither of them could figure it out clearly, so they thought about it all the way, but still couldn't figure out the underlying logic of investing in Huaying Entertainment.
But at this moment, Wei Lanlan called to inquire about the progress. Hearing their questions, he gave an answer that was an answer but not an answer.
“You should know that the boss doesn’t like doing things in order.”
“The group buying website has just emerged in 2009, and no one knows where it will be in the future, but we have already negotiated third-party payment with Alipay.”
“What was Alipay like at that time? It couldn’t get a payment license and couldn’t develop its business independently. Everyone thought it would be a failed product.”
“So, have you ever thought that maybe this company will be useful in the future?”
“The times are undergoing drastic changes.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhichuan looked at Dong Wenhao.
Dong Wenhao pondered for a while and then said: "Sister Lanlan used to be the boss's personal secretary. Apart from the boss's wife, she should be the person who knows the boss best. This may be the answer."
Lv Zhichuan nodded, put away the investment agreement, and took out another document, which was the information on the next target company, Gaode Map.
Gaode Maps and group-joining are old friends. When the GIS service of group-joining was launched, it almost killed many websites such as LaShou and Dazhong.
But because of this incident, many investment institutions have focused on Gaode.
Hence, compared with Huaying Entertainment, which has no one to rob it, Lu Zhichuan is under greater pressure.
Especially when Lao Lu knew that he was eyeing Ali, who was so tall that he also had his old club, he felt even more sweaty.
We all know that Alibaba is a big company, and under the same investment conditions, there is not much chance of winning in a group. In fact, Cheng Jun, who is tall, has been struggling with this matter.
Choose Alibaba or join a group?
The conditions for investment given by the two companies are similar, but neither is allowed to be high enough to accept the other's investment. It is clear that they want to compete with each other.
Most of the company's voices hope to be integrated into the Alibaba ecological chain, because Alibaba is obviously more promising than group-building.
But Cheng Jun had different ideas.
In 10 years, Wei Lanlan, the executive officer of Pintuan, came to Gaode and described the future for him according to Jiang Qin.
After the incubation of the group buying war, the group buying database has been established very well. Which street and which store can be found in minutes.
In just two years, many things that were originally thought to be the "future" are slowly beginning to come true.
So Cheng Jun has been wondering whether the future will be brighter if he follows Jiang Qin.
That's right, what Cheng Jun was thinking about was not going to Ali or joining a group. What he was thinking about was whether to follow Lao Ma or follow Jiang Qin.
“Our cooperation with Pintuan has always been very good, and the number of users of Amap has been constantly rising.”
“But Alibaba does not actually rely on the map business. We are also a relatively embarrassing presence in their ecological chain.”
“To join the group, there may be a broader sky, but to Alibaba, the future is still unknown.”
Cheng Jun made his point clear at a high-level meeting, but was quickly met with opposition.
Zhou Qing, the company’s veteran, is more partial to Alibaba: “The team building has just started, and I am not yet stable. If I choose them, it would be a bit of a gamble.”
"Yes, Mr. Zhou is right. Only when you have your back against a big tree can you... enjoy the shade better."
“I think Pintuan and Alibaba are not comparable at all, why should you hesitate? Of course I choose Alibaba!”
“There are rumors that Pintuan even borrowed the headquarters building from the government...”
While everyone was talking about it, Lu Zhichuan came to Gaode and was invited into the high-level meeting room by Cheng Jun's secretary.
When he entered, the debate inside had not stopped. There were loud calls to accept Alibaba’s investment, and he heard it.
The situation is quite unfavorable for group joining.
But Lv Zhichuan did not panic and sat down calmly. With just one sentence, many veterans present who wanted to accept Alibaba's investment were shaken in their thoughts in an instant.
“Hello everyone, I am Lv Zhichuan, the investment manager of Pintuan. I used to be the investment manager of Alibaba.”
“Everyone should know me, right? I’m quite famous.”
“I have managed the investments of LaShou.com, UC Browser and Wandoujia for Alibaba. They are all very good companies. They are as good as Gao De.”
…”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Qing looked at Cheng Jun, and Cheng Jun also looked at Zhou Qing.
Everyone is hesitating about which company to follow has a better future, but one thing has been overlooked, and that is real cases.
Alibaba bet on LaShou.com, which was the dominant group buying company at the time. In the end, it was brutally beaten by group buying. Now it is about to close its website.
UC Browser became famous some time ago, but it was soon beaten by Toutiao. Its current user ranking has dropped to third place. I heard that it is stepping up its self-media model of copying Toutiao.
After thinking about this clearly, they felt a little confused.
Seeing that no one was speaking in the conference room, Lu Zhichuan took a deep breath.
On the way to Gaode, he was still thinking about a breakthrough in the negotiations, and then he received a text message from Jiang Qin.
It says, “Introduce your investment project in Alibaba to Gao De”.
When he saw the reactions of the people in front of him, Lu Zhichuan quickly understood why Jiang Qin wanted to bring him into the team in the first place.
This is to make every company that is targeted by the group think clearly with whom it has a better future.
What a fool, the boss is such a dog, I was taken advantage of!
In fact, as a new small giant in the Internet, Pintuan really cannot compare with Alibaba.
The development paths of the two companies overlap in many places, so it is not surprising that they will encounter difficulties in layout, but the current team-up obviously has no chance of winning.
There is no other way, my reputation is great.
But Jiang Qin recruited Lu Zhichuan...
What Lv Zhichuan represents are Alibaba’s failed investments…
No matter who it is, when they hear the words "I am the original investment manager of Alibaba, and I have invested in Lashou.com", their hearts will probably tremble twice.
Because holding hands is really miserable.
Especially some time ago, due to financial fraud and infringement, Wu Bo, the boss of Lashou.com, almost became an old man.
Under such circumstances, no matter how strong Alibaba’s family foundation is, investors will probably be worried about the future.
(Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass, or2, please work harder, don’t pity me.)
