Chapter 227: Chain Schemes, Tang Renjiangshan Lu Fengzuo, Listing Plan!
…
"Oh? Why? My new company is just an empty shell at the moment. Tangren's valuation is at least 300 million."
"Moreover, 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 is almost non-existent.
Boss Cai has always been wary of outside 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 invite a 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 one and a half acres of land like a rich landlord.
Of course, the Tang people were not willful just because they were rich.
The cost control of Tangren's works, whether it is costumes, props, or special effects, is very stingy. It is appropriate to call them "Poor Tang".
Netizens even wrote a limerick to describe Tangren’s stingy behavior.
——[The actors themselves spend very little money, the props and costumes often travel through time, the special effects cost only 50 cents per dollar, and the script is so lame]
"Capital is good at inflating bubbles and then looking for fools to take over... They don't care whether the industry will be destroyed or not, but we want to stay in this industry for life."
Boss Cai had nothing to hide from Lu Feng, and said seriously: "I have 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 talents."
"This is vicious competition... By then, the entire industry will become very impetuous, and actors will compete with each other for their prices instead of thinking about improving their acting skills. This industry will only get worse and 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 cost millions of yuan. If they shoot two series a year, that's 2 million yuan, which is already pretty good."
"If capital intervenes on a large scale, actors' salaries will easily exceed 10 million yuan. How can we do our project? Can we still make a profit?"
“The entire industry may 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 celebrity 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 would have such insight.
I have to say, she has a long-term 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 Tangren is not the only company in the market.
Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Cai, even if you don't want to raise funds, you can't stop other companies from accepting the financing."
"As far as I know, Huace should be seeking to go public."
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 this company.
In 2013, Huace raised 550 million yuan in supporting funds in the capital market and acquired Croton Media for 1.652 billion yuan.
For a time, he was the talk of the town.
Croton Media, whose subsidiary Syndicate Pictures, just collaborated with Lu Feng to shoot "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, probability of producing hits, and 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 to go public, are you sure?"
Upon hearing the news, Boss Cai was indeed not calm.
She always thought that Tangren was the top company in the field of TV dramas, and what was Huace? It was not the one that produced the most films that could be considered the top company.
Every TV drama produced by Tangren is a masterpiece.
Huace only produces a large number of TV series, but in terms of the quality of their 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 deal 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, and they can compete together in the capital market... and in this case, I have Lu Feng on my side!
Sure win!
But if it is not listed, Lu Feng's biggest buff, [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. When the confidence of the capital market recovers a little next year or the year after, there will be action."
Lu Feng said with certainty.
Such a big event as Huace's listing is unlikely to be affected by a little butterfly like him.
Seeing Boss Cai’s conflicted expression, Lu Feng knew that she was probably upset at the moment.
So, Lu Feng continued, "If Huace is successfully listed, it will be the first TV drama company to go public and will receive great attention from the market. 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 became 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, can the company still be under her control?
Boss Cai is very worried about this.
Seeing that Boss Cai seemed to be somewhat moved, Lu Feng continued, "If Boss Cai plans to list Tangren, you can ask Boss Wang and Uncle Biao to introduce a few friends in investment banks."
Uncle Biao has just finished his studies at Tsinghua University’s Presidential Program and is currently working with Bona’s Yu Dong to prepare for a U.S. listing, like a capital tycoon.
As for Mr. Wang, there is no need to say more...
If Tangren wants to go public, it must allow Shanghai Film Group to take some shares and give out a board seat.
Share the benefits equally and try to get everyone on board your chariot.
Make lots of friends.
Seeing that Boss Cai was still hesitating, Lu Feng changed the subject and said calmly: "Of course, there is no rush for the listing... Tangren's current performance report is not particularly good, and the number of TV series produced each year is not enough, only more than 100 episodes, which is far from enough."
"In addition, the current capital market is very sluggish. It is extremely difficult to go public at this time."
"I estimate that in two years at most, the market will improve and the confidence of 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 hand in a good report card to give the market and investors enough confidence."
"In this way, the listing 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 himself doesn’t have the energy to do it, and he doesn’t have a sufficient team... On Tangren’s side, the production team is ready.
After finishing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" and before getting paid back, Boss Cai didn't dare to undertake a big project like "Sito". If he made a loss, it would be a big blow to him.
Based on her habits, she will probably shoot a small production as a transition.
Otherwise, your subordinates will 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 doesn't need to worry about Lu Feng seizing power.
She knew very well that if Lu Feng wanted to make money, there were plenty of opportunities for short selling in the financial market...there was no need for him to come to this small quagmire of Tangren.
It's a thankless task.
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 is a serious matter regarding the company's listing. I need to discuss this with the company's management."
For such a big matter, Boss Cai certainly didn't dare to make a decision just by listening to Lu Feng's nonsense. He had to go back and discuss it with a few confidants.
She was just 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 15 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 win.
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 in the future, companies would lay off employees, and life would be difficult.
Each and every 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 difference in their destinies!
Moreover, Lu Feng doesn't make money by luck.
They rely on their genius minds and calculations.
During this period, Lu Feng's outstanding vision and incisive 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 gives me a feeling of being a hero in ancient times, spending money lavishly.
Even Boss Cai was a little obsessed with it.
She felt that if she were 10 years younger, she might have joined this Shura field and become jealous of Liu Shishi.
So, 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 had not lost out.
Lu Feng earned 15 million yuan from this trip, which he could use as money to buy shares in the company.
Moreover, Boss Cai is not afraid that Lu Feng will mess around in Tangren Company... As long as he sends out our general Liu Shishi and persuades Lu Feng, Lu Feng will definitely have no objection.
But how come the conversation turned into about 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 chatting with Boss Cai, he went outside to get some fresh air.
Liu Shishi came over immediately and asked about the situation.
"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.
"Ah? Sister K must have been under a spell. She actually wanted to give away her company's shares?"
When Liu Shishi heard this, she was a little surprised.
Boss Cai, a miser, managed Tangren like a rock, but unexpectedly, he made an exception for Lu Feng.
The sun really rises in the west.
However, considering that Lu Feng helped Boss Cai earn 15 million in a month, it is normal for Boss Cai to do this.
After all, you can only catch the big fish if you play the long game.
This time it is 15 million. Next time if you use 15 million as capital to gamble, you might be able to make 50 million.
Isn’t it Lu Feng?
He took out 40 million to gamble and made more than 130 million.
Now, Lu Feng has 180 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 ask you to have a talk later."
It wasn’t long after Lu Feng finished speaking.
Hu Ge came and called Liu Shishi, saying that Boss Cai wanted to talk to them and asked them to go to the office.
"You're right."
Liu Shishi was dumbfounded. This guy Lu Feng 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 that husband in your family."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is that person in our family?"
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.
