Chapter 137 October CEO Class
The courtyard house was bought.
Chen Pingsheng planned to turn this into his own retirement home in the capital.
When I get old, I will raise a dog and walk the cat in this courtyard.
I don’t know how comfortable my daily life is.
But there is still a prerequisite.
We need to hire someone to redesign and renovate this place first.
There are many courtyard houses in Beijing that are specially designed, and the exterior design can generally be retro.
The main feature is style.
The interior is very exquisite, and to be honest, the modern style is more comfortable to live in.
Therefore, in addition to the quaint courtyard, the interior of the room will be decorated in a modern style, but the design must also maintain a certain retro style.
This aspect is a bit too complicated, and he couldn't come up with any good solution anyway.
It’s better to leave it to a professional design team.
It would take at least one month just to design the decoration of this courtyard house, and every detail inside would need to be measured first.
The more Chen Pingsheng looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Only if you own a 780-square-meter courtyard house in Beijing can you feel the happiness of the old Beijingers.
It takes about a year to complete the entire courtyard from design to decoration.
That's okay, he can wait anyway.
Only after he is satisfied with the design drawings will he know the exact cost of the renovation.
Anyway, it will definitely not be less than 30 million.
After spending the money for buying the house, he only had about 150 million left.
He also gave his wife Song Yanxi 100 million yuan to expand ten more Shuiyunjian clubs.
The remaining money basically cannot be touched.
All of it will be left to Tengying Entertainment as investment funds.
Chen Pingsheng had a clear plan, and during the seven days of National Day, his entire family was busy with the affairs of this large courtyard.
There is no doubt that the whole family will move in once the renovation is completed.
It would be a waste if a house worth hundreds of millions of dollars were left unoccupied.
After the National Day, big-breasted kid Chen Anan went back to school.
Song Yanxi still satisfied her little request to show off and sent her to school in a convertible Phantom.
As for Chen Pingsheng himself, the three-day CEO class every month also started on October 8th.
More than twenty students in their class who were in the CEO class gathered together again.
Some people are in high spirits, some are smug.
Some people snorted when they saw him. What a bastard Wang Yanfeng was. After his new girlfriend became his ex-girlfriend's best friend, in less than half a month, she became his best friend's sister.
He has developed his style of "rabbit eating grass in its own backyard" quite well. Maybe in the future he will develop from his girlfriend's sister to his girlfriend's mother.
"Brother Chen."
He Bijun came over and sat next to him, saying with a smile, "Brother Chen, you must have been the most successful person in the class last month. Hua Qiangu even sold your work for a whopping 500 million. It turns out TV dramas are so profitable."
The TV series doesn't make money, but he does.
Chen Pingsheng surpassed Feiying's efforts of several years with just this one drama. It would be strange if Wang Yanfeng was happy to see him.
"It's just so-so. Starting this month, I plan to officially invest in movies."
"Okay, Brother Chen, you've always been the most stable earner in the class, so investing in movies shouldn't be too far behind."
He Bijun likes to chat with him the most, mainly because the two of them can talk to each other.
"If you invest in movies, you should also have the same vision as investing in TV series."
Tong Zelan also came over. This woman always exudes the style of a workplace elite.
She is also dressed quite smartly.
Light blue tight jeans paired with a white shirt that is short in front and long in the back, barely covering her buttocks.
Very fashionable.
Tong Zelan said, "You have made a good investment in TV series. If you have such vision in movies, a valuation of 3 billion for Tencent Pictures is not unreasonable."
"Haha." Chen Pingsheng waved his hand. "Sister Zelan, 3 billion was the valuation in September. In October, Tengying Entertainment officially announced a valuation of 5 billion."
Tong Zelan's face turned black.
What do you mean? I finally come over to praise you, and you're already taking advantage of the situation?
Why?
An entertainment company with a valuation of 5 billion is definitely one of the best in the industry.
Of course, it cannot be compared with those listed film companies, but in the drama circle, it is already the highest level.
Tong Zelan plopped down on his desk and said in a very unpresentable manner, "Chen Pingsheng, you're going too far. Although your investment in Hua Qiangu did make Tengying famous, a valuation of 3 billion is already a sky-high price. Now you've suddenly increased it to 5 billion. Don't ask for too much, or you'll end up losing all your shares."
"Who gave you the courage?"
Of course it’s Mr. Goldfinger.
He can now analyze the return on investment of a movie. Three billion is definitely too low.
The 5 billion was also based on the consideration that Tong Zelan could help him go public.
Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "Let's be frank. I was able to raise Tengying's valuation to this level for a reason. You all think 5 billion is too high. Even if I offer 10 billion in a year, I'm afraid there will be people rushing to buy it."
"Are you so confident?"
Tong Zelan frowned, wondering which lady he was trying to get back at again.
This is what makes him so confident.
Anyway, the valuation of 5 billion far exceeded her expectations.
If we can't reach an agreement, then don't talk.
Let’s continue talking about Fei Yangyang. Tong Zelan personally invested 50 million in him and holds a 10% stake.
Other students raised another 100 million yuan, and after a month they wanted to know the specific progress.
The current situation is very clear. One hundred million yuan is ready to be spent in Beijing.
Open another fifty Feiyangyang Hotpot Restaurants.
Gao Hu took 50 million yuan to Shacheng, Southern Province, with the plan to open 50 stores in three months.
Tong Zelan nodded: "Hua Qiangu is also broadcast on Mango TV in Southern Province. It is indeed the safest choice for you to go there to open up your first out-of-province market."
"I was originally planning to raise your Series C funding in six months, but now it seems it won't take that long. Once "Flowers in the Past" airs and becomes a huge hit, we can strike while the iron is hot and secure a Series C valuation of 1.5 billion."
After the C round, you can go through two more rounds of DE and then consider buying a shell company in Hong Kong for listing.
It is far faster to apply step by step on your own than to directly buy a shell and then issue stocks through several major securities companies to list Feiyangyang.
Tong Zelan predicts that once Feiyangyang goes smoothly, the listing plan will be completed within two years.
By then, her investment of 50 million will be considered quite successful.
You must have a few small goals to earn money.
The specific amount will depend on how Feiyangyang performs in the later stage.
"Excuse me, both of you."
Hu Ding, the toy king of the class, came over. He was also well-known in the toy market throughout Guangdong.
The company is doing pretty well, and he is in his early forties.
"Brother Chen, first of all, congratulations! You're the only one in the class who can make so much money from a TV series. But I heard that your drama seems to be a fairy tale drama!"
"That's right, it's a fairy tale drama."
"Xianxia dramas are good."
Hu Ding was particularly good at finding opportunities. He said, "This kind of drama is targeted at young people, and young people these days still love to spend money. To be honest, Brother Chen, I want to discuss a business deal with you."
"What business?"
People selling toys also came to him, and Chen Pingsheng was quite interested.
Hu Ding said, "Of course it's the toy business involving Hua Qiangu's peripheral copyrights."
"Oh..." He was still worried about how to develop the derivative market surrounding Hua Qiangu?
Here comes the opportunity.
According to Hu Ding, he wanted to buy it out directly.
Chen Pingsheng disagreed with this plan and wanted a share of the profits.
What this means is that for every Hua Qiangu peripheral product sold, he will take half of the revenue.
"I think you two shouldn't talk alone."
Tong Zelan interjected, "How about this: Lao Chen gets the publishing rights and Zhao Liying will be the spokesperson. Hu Ding, you'll be in charge of production, and I'll set up an online sales team and build momentum ahead of time. We'll split the price 4:4:2."
She is number two, Chen Pingsheng and Hu Ding are both number four.
This is fair. Chen Pingsheng himself does not know how to produce toys, so it would not be appropriate for him to blindly look for a OEM factory.
With Hu Ding, the toy king, this problem can be solved perfectly.
Hu Ding is naturally also responsible for offline sales.
He himself has an extremely powerful toy distribution market.
You can rest assured when you leave your online business to Tong Zelan. She has been specializing in investing in the Internet sector in recent years and is an absolute expert in this field.
The Internet talents we have are extremely powerful.
It would definitely be best if she were responsible for online promotion and sales.
If you want to make money from this kind of thing, you have to do it early.
Everyone knows the situation in China. If you wait a little longer and wait until Hua Qiangu becomes popular, the market will be full of counterfeits.
Now they come to play early and also form a team of lawyers.
They will beat anyone who shows up from the village.
At least they can suppress it for a while, which is enough time for them to sell out Hua Qiangu's derivative products.
Tong Zelan originally thought that she could make a small amount of money, maybe tens of millions.
It’s a small amount of money and doesn’t require much effort.
It’s good to be able to pick up some.
How much you can earn depends on how popular Hua Qiangu is.
If it really becomes the best drama of the year, the revenue will be very considerable.
Chen Pingsheng agreed that good cooperation can lead to win-win results.
The three parties joined hands to make another profit from the derivatives market beyond Hua Qiangu’s copyright.
