Chapter 76 Investment Opportunities
"Ah!"
Qin Lan fell heavily on the bed with a low moan.
Meng Bai leaned over and reached out to push aside a few strands of sweat-soaked hair on her forehead. The woman said weakly, "No, let me rest for a while..."
"Sister, your fighting power is not good enough." Meng Bai smiled evilly, but he didn't continue to be considerate. Instead, he lay aside and hugged the "begging for mercy" woman.
While subconsciously stroking the smooth and delicate skin, Meng Bai looked around the room - he was now in Qin Lan's home in Jingbei.
"This house is not that big." Meng Bai said, "I thought you were living in a 300-square-meter apartment with a swimming pool on the roof, so you can go up there to bask in the sun."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't have that much money to buy a big apartment or a swimming pool." Qin Lan half-closed her eyes and said lazily, "At this time, shouldn't you take the initiative to stand up and say, 'I'll give you a house' or something like that?"
"Sorry, I usually just say, 'Sister, hug, I'm hungry.'"
"Hehe, I only like little wolf dogs who are self-reliant, and I don't like little milk dogs who say 'repeated words'. Which one are you?"
"Usually, I still prefer to be a person."
Because he had to arrange the "novel publishing" matter, Meng Bai stayed in Beijing North for a few more days. When Qin Lan learned that he was back, he immediately gave him the address and asked him to come over to continue the game together.
Obviously, Meng Bai's preparations during this period were effective, and he successfully changed from "equally matched" to "unstoppable".
Although Qin Lan was too tired to move, he was in good spirits. Half lying in Meng Bai's arms, he squinted his eyes and talked to him about his "guest role".
"...I feel that 'Sun Mei' is actually a very tragic character. Her inner desires are suppressed in her heart by secular concepts. She couldn't help but express it once, but it became the cause of the tragic ending." Qin Lan touched Meng Bai: "But I always feel that the transformation process of this character is a bit incomplete. It seems that she has become an accomplice from a bystander without much description."
Meng Bai said: "Yes, this character is a bit of a tool in the plot. But there is no way. The film and television adaptation needs to focus the camera on the protagonist, and there is not enough space to show the mental journey of this supporting role. But if you are interested, you can wait until it is broadcast. I may adapt the script into a novel of the same name. The information expressed in the text is richer, and perhaps I can use more words to describe this character."
"Novel of the same name?" Qin Lan said with a smile: "Others adapt text into film and television dramas, but there is a reverse adaptation like you."
"Why not change it? The reason I've been in Jingbei recently is that I've been working with Leshi.com on similar things." Meng Bai said, "By the way, speaking of Leshi.com, I don't seem to have seen your best friend, the boss lady, much recently?"
Qin Lan opened one eye and glanced at Meng Bai, "Why, are you so concerned about my best friend now?"
"Pa!"
Meng Bai was silent for a second, and then couldn't help but slapped her butt, making a crisp sound.
"Sister, my name is not Cao Bai, and I don't have such a perverted hobby."
"Haha, that's hard to say, you can't say for sure...ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I really can't do it now."
Qin Lan's face was flushed, her hair was disheveled, and she kept begging Meng Bai for mercy. Finally, she escaped.
After moving a few steps away, Qin Lan explained, "Weiwei found out she was pregnant a few months ago. It's been almost half a year now, so from now on until the birth, she will focus on taking care of the fetus and will rarely go to the company."
"Is that so? That's no wonder."
He said that he had not seen Gan Wei when he went to Leshi.com several times in the past few months, but he was mainly working with Liu Jun now, so it didn't have much impact.
"By the way, speaking of Weiwei, I have something to advise you on."
Qin Lan rested for a long time, recovered some of his strength, sat up and looked at Meng Bai and said, "Weiwei mentioned to me some time ago that Leshi.com may have plans to reorganize and merge Leshi Pictures. It just so happens that LeTV Pictures is preparing to issue additional 'B round' financing in the second half of the year, and wants to invite a group of 'celebrity shareholders' to join. Do you think this is reliable?"
Leshi Pictures was established in 2011. All along, Boss Jia wanted it to complete capital listing like Leshi.com. Unfortunately, due to profit margin and other reasons, it has not been successful.
If it cannot be listed, shareholders and investors will not get high returns, which may dampen everyone's confidence in Leshi. For Mr. Jiao, whose main business is to gather people's hearts, this is a bad signal.
Fortunately, Leshi Pictures itself is a "high-quality asset". Since it cannot be listed separately, it is better to merge it into Leshi.com. It just happened to take advantage of the bull market that started in early 2014 to boost the parent company's stock price and valuation.
The benefits brought by this major merger and reorganization are closely related to the value of the merged enterprises. Therefore, Leshi.com plans to give Leshi Pictures another round of financing before announcing the merger to increase its valuation.
For unlisted companies, corporate valuation is a very virtual thing. Assets, industries, potential, goodwill, popularity, etc. may all become factors that affect market valuation.
Compared with the investment of real money, things like popularity and goodwill are much easier to come by. Especially as a film and television company, Leshi Pictures has a unique condition, which is that it can introduce "celebrity shareholders" to increase the popularity of the company.
In fact, Leshi Pictures already had many "celebrity shareholders" long before this. Zhang Guoshi, Guo Xiaosi and Huang Xiaozhu are all natural person shareholders of Leshi Pictures, and each of them basically has 18 million shares.
In this new round of financing, Leshi Pictures plans to expand the list of "celebrity shareholders" and invite many celebrities who have cooperated with Leshi.com or have personal relationships to join.
As Gan Wei's good girlfriend and a popular celebrity, Qin Lan naturally received an invitation.
After listening to her good sister's introduction and consulting someone, Qin Lan was actually a little tempted by this rare opportunity to "get on board" - after all, Leshi.com is now developing rapidly and is in its heyday, and she has inside information, so it is a business that is sure to make money. It's just
that she has never done this kind of capital operation before, and she is always a little worried about gains and losses. It just so happened that Meng Bai mentioned the cooperation with Leshi.com today, so she told him about it. First, she wanted to ask for his opinion and strengthen her confidence; second, she wanted to give this "stinky little brother" a chance to guide him.
Dear bosses, it is expected to be launched this Friday, and I hope you will support it!
