Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Spring goes and winter comes, year after year.

Yao Yuan was stationed at the Tuanjie Lake, watching the peach blossoms bloom five times in the park, and then lost five times, he couldn't help feeling that the world is so long, like a white horse passing by. The only thing that remains the same is the young lady/aunt who sticks to her post near the park and under the streetlight.

Right now is the season of peach blossoms.

He stood by the window, drinking tea, looking at Tuanjie Lake, behind him was the crackling sound of knocking papers, as fast and rhythmic as last night.

I don't know what she talked about with Bai Huiming's sister-in-law, but she became more and more enthusiastic after returning from the zoo.

"Boom boom boom!"

A perfunctory knock on the door interrupted Yao Yuan's thoughts, and Yu Jiajia pushed the door in, saying, "'Crazy Stone' has been finalized, in July!"

"Which one is in the same period?"

""Phantom of the Thief", "Superman Returns", "Mission: Impossible 3", "Dragon Tiger Gate"!"

"Where are you playing?"

"Either in April, or in the second half of the year. I'm thinking about it. The summer file should be the summer file. Although the opponent is strong, our type is unique. If you get tired of the big meal, you still want to try side dishes."

"What does Zhongying mean?"

"Being a distributor, give more films in the first week."

"Okay, that's enough."

"Then I'm busy!"

Yu Jiajia left in a hurry.

"Isn't China Film implementing a blockbuster strategy?" Yinyin raised her head and asked.

"Blockbusters are useless. "The Promise" kept saying it was going to the Olympics, but in the end it didn't even get nominated, and it was embarrassing to grandma's house. Besides, this year there are "Golden Armor in the City" and "Night Banquet" eyeing up. China Film's blockbusters won Wait until next year, just give "Stone" a favor, it's a matter of little effort."

"Oh, like this!"

Yinyin understood, she lowered her head and continued crackling. Yao Yuan also returned to his seat, wandered around the Internet for a while, thought about it, searched Xiaonei and 5Q on Baidu, and looked at each.

Why is it said that the early Internet products were all benchmarked against the United States, and the United States became popular, and only people in China made them?

Because you can attract international capital only if you become popular in the United States.

So why attract international capital?

Because in the early days of Internet development in China, neither loans nor capital investment from the mainland were available, so we could only rely on international capital. Therefore, a product that is popular in China is not considered popular, but it is called popular in the United States.

Such is the impact of facebook.

Yao Yuan used Yinyin's school mailbox to register for Xiaonei and 5Q, and went around for a while, but there was nothing new, basically it was a stitching monster of Maiwo and Facebook.

But there are still some users who are not deserted.

It’s like WeChat has become popular, but there are still Momo and Soul. Although they are the same type of products, changing the platform is equivalent to changing to a new social environment, and the people you know are also new.

"..."

Yao Yuan stared at the computer screen, sorting out the timeline in his mind.

It seems to be this year. Chen Yizhou acquired Xiaonei.com and merged with 5Q. In 2008, he received a huge amount of financing from Softbank. In 2011, he was listed in the US with a market value of 7.4 billion US dollars.

In 2009, Sina Weibo came out.

Then the question arises, how should the Maiwo community transform to Weibo? In other words, in what way should the community be abandoned? Because in the era of Weibo, traditional communities are doomed to decline, and he has to earn the maximum value.

Yao Yuan was thinking about it when the phone rang.

"President Yao, Mr. Shen is here!"

"Good to know!"

He straightened his clothes, rubbed Yinyin's hair, and came to the reception room. There was a man in his 40s, who looked like a white-faced scholar.

It is Shen Nanpeng, the founder of Sequoia Capital China Fund!

These Chinese agents of international capital have similar resumes. Almost all of them studied in the United States, then entered the financial circle, and finally settled in the mainland.

However, Shen Nanpeng's resume is even better. He is the founder of Ctrip and Home Inns, and he is a rich man himself.

Yao Yuan had just finished meeting Xu Xin, and today he saw Shen Nanpeng again, and Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital was also queuing up—now that the environment is better, investment institutions come here waving money, not afraid of spending money, but afraid of not being able to spend it.

"Mr. Yao!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, please come here in person!"

"Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang. If I can persuade you, then I can come ten times."

Wear each other's hats and follow the topic.

Shen Nanpeng had the same procedure as Xu Xin, the first goal was Mai Wo, after being rejected, he chose Maike Eslite as the next best thing, the investment was definitely made, and the details needed to be discussed.

Meet today to make a good impression and socialize.

After chatting for a long time, Shen Nanpeng was about to leave when he heard Yao Yuan say, "Besides Maike Chengpin, I have another project. Is Mr. Shen interested?"

"Appreciate further details."

"It's a film and television company under 99 Entertainment, called Xinli Media."

"Television Company?"

Shen Nanpeng didn't dig deep into the entertainment industry like he did later, using Huang Jiaozhu and Yang Tianbao to launder money. Hearing about the film and television company, he didn't feel too cold, and said: "Sorry, my current investment fields are the Internet, consumption, and healthcare. I'm not interested in entering the film and television industry." lock up."

"Then you don't think the film and television industry also belongs to the consumer field?"

"It belongs, but the volume is too small. A movie has a box office of over 100 million, and the film studio can only earn several million. This..."

Shen Nanpeng smiled, obviously he didn't like it.

And he did have something to do, so he got up and wanted to leave. Seeing this, Yao Yuan unhurriedly said, "Xinli Media owns the shares of Zhou Yunfan and Wang Leilei!"

Um?

Shen Nanpeng paused.

Yao Yuan said another sentence: "I want to buy Golden Harvest!"

Yo!

Shen Nanpeng's eyes lit up.

Follow the third sentence: "Golden Harvest has cinema real estate!"

Hiss!

Shen Nanpeng had already sat down, and by the way sucked a pot of Gao Sui.

"Details!"

"I wanted to acquire a Hong Kong company very early on, and I have been paying attention to the situation there, and finally chose Golden Harvest.

Hong Kong movies are no longer good, and filmmakers have collectively moved northward. Golden Harvest did not open any more films after filming "Lucky Superman" in 2003. It suffered losses for years and was acquired many times. It was Li Ka-shing who bought shares in the company and helped Golden Harvest.

But it is also a temporary solution, not a root cause. There is no profitable project, and sooner or later it will close. "

"..."

Shen Nanpeng was silent for a moment after listening, and asked, "How much real estate does Jiahe have?"

"A total of 33 movie theaters and 260 movie theaters in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia!"

Hearing this number, Shen Nanpeng was about to agree, but his ethics as an investor made him continue to ask: "Are you sure Golden Harvest will sell?"

"Li Ka-shing is currently Golden Harvest's second largest shareholder, and Wang Leilei is the boss of TOM."

TOM net is the industry of Li Cucumber.

Shen Nanpeng nodded, expressing his understanding, and asked the last question: "Since Hong Kong films are no longer available, why do you buy Hong Kong companies?"

"Hong Kong films are not good, but the mainland film market is on the rise, and the policy dividends of co-productions between the two places can still be enjoyed for ten years. The film environment in Hong Kong is relaxed, and it is also convenient to go overseas."

"Go to sea?"

"International, Hollywood, but this is only offline."

Yao Yuan looked at Shen Nanpeng, and said, "I'm not going to develop the Mai Li video, because I want to wait for the copyright era to come.

I have a large number of copyrights, and Golden Harvest also has thousands of film copyrights, which can greatly enrich the film library. Maili video will also go overseas in the future, so it is necessary to put a shell that is easy to accept overseas. The mainland is sensitive and Hong Kong is convenient. Golden Harvest will do it. Couldn't be more suitable! "
