Mission Flow

This is a flight of China Eastern Airlines, flying from Beijing to Shanghai. The whole journey takes about two hours. Cao Su put away his mobile phone and followed Leng Yutong to board the plane.

"Welcome!" The voices of the two stewardesses at the door were clear and sweet.

Cao Su nodded slightly to them. He is in a very good mood now!

This has something to do with the fact that the poaching operation against Liujianfang executed by Qian Moning and hosted by Li Hangyi was very smooth. The two female anchors have arrived in Shencheng. At that time, the legal department will contact them. This will form a demonstration effect.

If Liujianfang took the initiative to poach people to touch porcelain and gain popularity, then he really needs to be lenient!

Mei Gu's "Like an Old Man Comes" is playing.

"Sir, do you need my help?" Seeing the first-class passengers about to put their luggage, the stewardess in winter flight uniform came over and asked courteously.

"Oh, no need." Cao Su easily put his and Leng Yutong's suitcases in the storage compartment above his head.

"Mr. Cao, thank you!" Leng Yutong thanked in a cold voice. She didn't think Cao was always courting her. The words that said he wanted to pick her up were actually fluff. He is actually quite personable and will take care of the ladies who travel with him. Even if she is his assistant.

"You're welcome." Cao Su sat down with a smile, and continued to browse Weibo with his mobile phone. He was flying first class, priority boarding. There is still a little time until the plane closes the hatch.

The topic of discussion on the live broadcast industry on Weibo is rapidly decreasing. Now there are only press releases issued by some media about Qianyuan Culture's new film and TV series. These are all money spent by Qianyuan Culture.

"Alas…"

"President Cao, what's the matter?"

"Yutong, look at Weibo!" Cao Su said, flipping through the news on Weibo, and quickly found the reason.

Li Hangyi was still "swearing" at Liujianfang and Huya, but Liu Yan of Liujianfang was completely silent. Huya's CEO Dong Rongjie's last Weibo post was the news that he broke up with Li Hangyi.

A bunch of netizens are commenting below.

"Liu Yan, President Liu, it's been six hours since Li Hangyi scolded you during the Dragon Ball live broadcast, you should come out and answer."

"Huya Dong Rongjie, Mr. Dong. Cut off the friendship. Continue to comment on the business logic of Dragon Ball Live's entry into the film and television industry!"

"Li Hangyi, on behalf of myself, I declare that in this three-party chaos, Dragon Ball Live will win the first round."

Someone below replied: "On behalf of myself, I would like to announce that Shabi is upstairs. You think business competition is a turn-based game!"

Next is the war of words between the two sides.

Cao Su immediately became happy when he saw it, and he understood it in his heart. In a war of words, there must be both pros and cons to fight. Now that Liujianfang and Huya are directly misfired, the discussion on Weibo has naturally weakened.

Six rooms misfired, he can understand. The two leading female anchors were abducted by Qian Mourning. Now that everyone has arrived in Shencheng, the interior of the six rooms is probably a mess, and they urgently discuss countermeasures. Huya misfired, it was quite sudden!

Huya actually likes to operate with the live broadcast of Dragon Ball. He spent money, and Huya followed suit. This is the most cost-effective marketing routine. Did they change their minds this time?

Leng Yutong also received relevant meager news, "Mr. Cao, are we winning now?"

Cao Su leaned on the seat of the first-class cabin and said with a smile, "Where can we win? The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. Now the six rooms are just in a panic, but there is still a long way to go before they hurt them! The six rooms are provocative." I, I won't let them go so easily."

Leng Yutong looked at the high-spirited but restrained man, and knew that he was not far away from winning the contest. After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Cao, I'll call my friend and ask about Huya's news."

While on the phone, a tall and beautiful stewardess came over, "Ma'am, our plane is about to take off, please turn off your phone."

Cao Su helped Leng Yutong explain: "I'm sorry,

She finished it right away. "

The stewardess smiled politely at the handsome male passenger, and waited quietly beside him.

Leng Yutong finished the phone call in a few words, and then turned off the phone. After the stewardess left, she reported to Cao Suhui: "Mr. Cao, the news that Dragon Ball Live is about to complete the first round of financing with the capital headed by Hongbin China is now basically known in the financial circle of Shanghai. The era of reunion behind Huya With Xiaomi Lei’s investment, they are one of the players in the venture capital circle.”

"So that's the case!" Cao Su nodded, pondered for a while, and laughed at himself: "There is nothing new under the sun!"

Leng Yutong laughed coldly and beautifully, and asked, "Mr. Cao, Huya has calmed down. Does this mean that they are afraid of your anger and poach their anchor? Liujianfang learned that Dragon Ball Live is about to raise funds." , What will they do? Will they seek peace from you?"

This is a beautiful imagination!

Cao Su shrugged handsomely: "Yu Tong, I don't think so. They are all old fritters rolling in the rivers and lakes. How could they seek peace under some pressure?"

Leng Yutong nodded. At this time, the plane had already started taxiing and was about to take off. She suggested: "Mr. Cao, you should sell a private jet quickly!"

You don't need to turn off your phone on a private jet. And wifi.

Cao Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay!" How can he have the money to buy a plane now?

While the two were talking, the plane accelerated and flew straight into the sky.

…

…

When Cao Su flew to Shanghai at about four or five in the afternoon, Song Jingying took the dragon ball live broadcast's financial and legal team with a total of about eight people to take the plane to Shanghai.

Dragon Ball Live will sign a round of financing agreements with Red Bin China, GSR Ventures, and Collar Capital.

Hongbin China led the investment, with a total financing of 20 million US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares.

After several hours of flying, Song Jingying took the team off the plane, dragged their luggage, and walked gracefully in the Shanghai Airport, feeling a little emotional for a while.

The difficulty in financing negotiations is, first, the valuation of the company by both parties. Second, with conditions!

Capital money is not so good, and various performance-based betting terms need to be set. But seeing the number of daily active users of Dragon Ball Live is getting higher and higher, the valuation is soaring all the way, and Brother Cao is constantly spending money, the venture capitalists are unwilling to wait any longer.

Therefore, Longzhu Live received a very favorable A-round financing conditions. Basically a goal that can be achieved with normal development.

The signing of this financing agreement will end the competition between Dragon Ball Live and Liujianfang, and dig people to the end. Isn't it actually more money than anyone else? Moreover, this funding will enable Dragon Ball Live to maintain its leading position in the industry.

Huya, which ranks second, has been incubated by YY so far without financing. Of course, with the financing precedent of Dragon Ball Live, Huya should also get a financing soon.

"Brother Cao, we've arrived in Shanghai." Song Jingying called Cao Su.

On the phone, Cao Su smiled and said, "Jingying, take a taxi to the Shangri-La Hotel in Pudong."

"OK."

…

…

In the winter night of the magic city, the lights are bright. The Huangpu River winds like a silver dragon. In the cold wind, there are many tourists.

At this time, in a restaurant on the Bund along the river, Wan Yan, who is closely related to the live broadcast industry, is having dinner with Shen Nanpeng, the executive partner of Hongbin China, his life mentor.

Shen Nanpeng has a brilliant resume. He joined Citibank in 1992 after graduating from Yale Business School with a master's degree. In 1994, he joined Lehman Brothers, one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street that had not closed down at that time, and was responsible for the work of investment banks in China.

Joined Deutsche Bank in 1996 and was also in charge of capital business in China. This bank is a guarantee bank for European debt, and its investment banking department is a major player in the Nasdaq and New York stock markets. and Goldman Sachs and other big investment banks.

In 1999, he founded Ctrip with Liang Jianzhang and other friends, and he served as the chief financial officer. Some articles are good for the boss, saying that he is the chairman. actually not. Liang Jianzhang served as the chairman of the board from 2000 to 2006.

So, some people are a pain in the ass. Do not add a filter. Isn't it normal for the CFO to be in charge of going public? Do you have to add the position of chairman to overwhelm his entrepreneurial partners?

In 2003, Ctrip was listed on NASDAQ. It was in the process of working on Ctrip that he realized that tourists needed clean and cheap hotels, so he founded "Home Inns" in 2002 and led Home Inns to go public in 2006.

To achieve the listing of two companies within three years, although there are contacts in investment banks, the level is indeed very strong.

He founded Red Bin China with Red Bin Capital in 2005 and served as the person in charge. Focus on technology, healthcare, and consumption. I have invested in a lot of good companies. Didi, which is currently the capital leader in the market, and Red Bin China is one of the investors.

The dining room is brightly lit. Shen Nanpeng guided: "Xiao Wan, although your Thunder Entertainment made up for the mistakes in the game live broadcast and quickly reached an agreement with Huya, your valuation still dropped.

At least, from the perspective of capital, there is no possibility that Huya can surpass Dragon Ball Live. I asked professionals including you, and the basic opinion is that unless there is another hit game that is almost the same as League of Legends. Moreover, Huya must be able to bet on it and make arrangements in advance. This is the only way to surpass Dragon Ball Live.

So, my personal suggestion to you is very simple, discuss cooperation with Dragon Ball Live. I often hear a saying in the United States, business is business! I give it to you. In the face of business, all personal conflicts and personal grievances must stand aside!

I will not hide it from you, I am very optimistic about the prospects of Dragon Ball live streaming!

According to the data they provided, their daily active number is rising rapidly. And the traffic attracted by the live broadcast of the game will be continuously converted into viewers of the show and other content by them. "

Wan Yan held a knife and fork, ate western food, pondered for a few seconds and said: "Mr. Shen, thank you for your suggestion. I will try it!"

From the highest valuation of 300 million for Thunder Entertainment, because he missed the Dragon Ball anchor in the past five months, the valuation has fallen to around 200 million. How can this embarrass him?

His original thinking was that if he wasn't frivolous and didn't follow his own will when he was young, would he be old?

But now, it turns out he was wrong.

He had to bow his head!

Who can throw away the 100-200 million business that has already been done? It's just that he feels aggrieved.
