Vol 2 Chapter 184 Fermentation
This is a China Eastern flight from Beijing to Modu. The whole process is about two hours. Cao Su put away his mobile phone and boarded the plane behind Leng Yutong.
“Welcome!” The voices of the two flight attendants at the door were clear and sweet.
Cao Su nodded slightly to them. He is in a very good mood now!
This is related to the smooth operation of the poaching action against Liujianfang executed by Qian Moning and chaired by Li Hangyi. The two female anchors have arrived in Shencheng. At that time, the legal department will connect with them. This will create a demonstration effect.
Liujianfang took the initiative to poach people to touch porcelain to get hot, then he really needs to be soft!
Aunt Mei’s “Like an old friend” is playing.
“Sir, do you need my help?” The stewardess in the winter flight uniform came over and asked attentively when the first-class guests were about to put their luggage.
“Oh, no.” 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 did not think that Cao was always courting her. Saying that you want to soak her is actually a mouthful. He is actually quite personable, and will take care of the ladies who go with him. Even if she is his assistant.
“You’re welcome.” Cao Su sat down with a smile, and continued to swipe Weibo with his mobile phone. He was in first class and had priority boarding. It’s still a while before the plane closes the doors.
The topic of discussion about the live broadcast industry on Weibo is rapidly declining. Now there are only some press releases issued by the media about the launch of new films and TV series by Qianyuan Culture. These are all spent by Qianyuan Culture.
“Alas…”
“Mr. Cao, what’s wrong?”
“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 in Liujianfang was completely silent. The last Weibo post of Huya’s CEO Dong Rongjie was the news of breaking up with Li Hangyi.
A bunch of netizens are commenting below.
“Liu Yan, Mr. Liu, it has been six hours since Li Hangyi, who was on the live broadcast of Dragon Ball, scolded you. You should come out and reply.”
“Huya Dong Rongjie, Dong Zong. Broken diplomatic relations. Continue to comment on the business logic of Dragon Ball Live’s entry into the film and television industry!”
“Li Hangyi, I personally announce that in this three-way chaos, Dragon Ball Live will win the first round.”
Someone below replied: “I would like to announce on my own behalf that it is Shabi upstairs. You think business competition is a turn-based game!”
Then there is the war of words between the two sides.
Cao Su immediately became happy when he saw it, and understood in his heart. In a war of words, there must be both sides to fight. Now that Liujianfang and Huya are directly on fire, the sound of the meager discussion is naturally weakened.
The six rooms were misfired, he could understand. The two leading female anchors were both abducted by Qian Mo Ning. Now that everyone has arrived in the deep city, the interior of the six rooms is estimated to have become a mess, and the countermeasures are urgently discussed. It’s Huya’s mute fire, it’s quite sudden!
Huya actually likes to work with the Dragon Ball live broadcast. He spends money, and Huya follows up. This is the most economical marketing tactic. Did they change their minds this time?
Leng Yutong also read relevant meager news, “Mr. Cao, have we won?”
Cao Su leaned on the seat of the first class cabin and said with a smile, “Where is the victory? The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Now Liujianfang is just panicking, but there is still a long way to go to hurt them! Liujianfang is provocative. Me, I won’t let them go so easily.”
Leng Yutong looked at the man who was high-spirited but kept restrained and situational. He knew that it was not far from winning the contest. After thinking about it, he said, “Mr. Cao, I will call my friend and ask about Huya.”
During the phone call, a tall and beautiful flight attendant came over, “Ma’am, our plane is about to take off, please turn off your mobile phone.”
Cao Su helped Leng Yutong to explain: “I’m sorry, she will finish the fight soon.”
The flight attendant smiled politely at the handsome male passenger and waited quietly beside him.
Leng Yutong finished the phone call in a few words, then turned off the phone. After the flight attendant left, he reported to Cao Suhui: “Mr. Cao, the news that Dragon Ball Live is about to complete the first round of financing with the capital led by Hongbin China is now basically known in the financial circle of Magic Capital. The joyous era behind Huya. With the investment of Xiaomi Lei, they are one of the players in the venture capital circle.”
“So it is!” Cao Su nodded, pondered a little, and laughed at himself: “There is nothing new under the sun!”
Leng Yutong laughed, cold and beautiful, and asked: “Mr. Cao, Huyaxiao stop, does this mean that they are afraid of your anger and poaching their anchor? Liujianfang learned that Dragon Ball Live is about to raise funds. , what will they do? Will they ask you for peace?”
This is a beautiful imagination!
Cao Su shrugged handsomely: “Yutong, I don’t think so. They are all old fried dough sticks rolling on the rivers and lakes. How can they beg for peace under a little 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 plane quickly!”
You don’t need to turn off your cell phone on a private jet. There is also wifi.
Cao Su couldn’t help laughing and said, “Okay!” How could 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 the magic capital at about 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Song Jingying took the financial and legal teams of Dragon Ball Live to a total of eight people by plane to the magic capital.
Dragon Ball Live will sign a Series A financing agreement with Hongbin China, Jinsha River Ventures, and Gaoling Capital.
Hongbin China led the investment, raising a total of 20 million US dollars, accounting for 10 shares.
After several hours of flight, Song Jingying took the team off the plane, dragged her luggage, and walked gracefully in the Modu Airport, feeling a little emotional for a while.
The difficulty of financing negotiation, first, the valuation of the enterprise by both parties. Second, there are conditions attached!
Capital money is not so good, and various performance betting terms need to be set. But seeing that the number of daily active users of Dragon Ball Live is getting higher and higher, the valuation is soaring, and Brother Cao is constantly spending money, venture capitalists are reluctant to wait any longer.
Therefore, Dragon Ball Live received a very favorable round of financing conditions. Basically a goal that can be achieved with normal development.
And signing this financing agreement will end the contest between Dragon Ball Live and Liujianfang, and dig people to the end, isn’t it actually more money than anyone else? Moreover, this funding can allow Dragon Ball Live to continue to maintain its leading position in the industry.
Huya, which ranks second, has so far been incubated by yy without financing. Of course, with the financing precedent of Dragon Ball Live, Huya should also get a financing soon.
“Brother Cao, we have arrived in the magic capital.” Song Jingying called Cao Su.
On the phone, Cao Su smiled and said, “Jingying, you guys take a taxi to Shangri-La Hotel in Pudong.”
“OK.”
…
…
In the winter night of the magic capital, the lights are bright. The Huangpu River winds like a silver dragon. In the cold wind and bleak, 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 his life mentor and executive partner of Hongbin China, Shen Nanpeng.
Shen Nanpeng has a brilliant resume. He joined Citibank after graduating from Yale Business School in 1992. In 1994, he joined Lehman Brothers, one of the top five Wall Street investment banks that had not yet closed down, and was responsible for the work of Chinese investment banks.
He joined Deutsche Bank in 1996 and is also responsible for China’s capital business. This bank is a guarantee bank for European bonds, 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 together 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 chairman from 2000 to 2006.
Therefore, some people are a pain in the ass. Do not add a filter. Isn’t it normal for a CFO to be in charge of going public? Do you have to add a chairman’s post to overwhelm his entrepreneurial partner?
In 2003, Ctrip went public on Nasdaq. It was in the process of doing Ctrip.com that he realized that travelers need clean and cheap hotels, so he founded Home Inn in 2002 and led Home Inns to market in 2006.
To have two companies listed within three years, although there are contacts working in investment banks, the level is indeed very strong.
He founded Hongbin China together with Hongbin Capital in 2005 and served as the director. Focus on technology, healthcare, and consumption. I have won a lot of good companies. Didi~www.readmtl.com~ Hongbin China, which is currently playing the leading role in the capital market, is one of the investors.
The restaurant is brightly lit. Shen Nanpeng instructed: “Xiao Wan, although your Thunder Entertainment made up for the mistakes in the live broadcast of the game and quickly reached an agreement with Huya, your valuation has still declined.
At least, from the perspective of capital, there is no possibility that Huya can surpass the live broadcast of Dragon Ball. I asked professionals including you, and the basic view is that unless there is another explosive game similar to League of Legends. Moreover, Huya must be able to bet and lay out in advance. This is only possible to surpass Dragon Ball Live.
So, my personal advice to you is simple, talk about cooperation with Dragon Ball Live. I often hear a saying in America, business is business! I give it to you. In the face of business, all personal conflicts and personal grievances must be sidelined!
I will not hide from you, I am very optimistic about the prospects of Dragon Ball live broadcast!
According to the data they provide, their daily active population is rising rapidly. And the traffic attracted by the game live broadcast will be continuously converted into the show and other content viewing users. ”
Wan Yan took a knife and fork, ate western food, pondered for a few seconds and said, “Mr. Shen, thank you for your suggestion. I’ll give it a try!”
His Thunder Entertainment has fallen from the highest valuation of 300 million to about 200 million because he missed the Dragon Ball anchor in the past five months. What makes him feel bad?
His original idea was that he was not frivolous when he was young, and he did not conform to his own wishes. Could it be that he would be old when he was old?
But now, it turns out he was wrong.
He had to bow his head!
Who can throw away the 100 or 200 million business that has already been done? It’s just that he was very frustrated.
