Chapter 561 Investing in Wanda Cinemas
On March 3, just after the Lantern Festival, Wu Xiaoyue returned to Shuimu University to report for the start of school.

After graduating from an undergraduate degree last year, Wu Xiaoyue was admitted to a graduate student majoring in computer science with high scores.

This Spring Festival, Wu Xiaoyue really wanted to talk to Wu Ruohan about her distress, but finally held back.

In the past, Wu Xiaoyue didn't know how much she liked Gao Yang, her brother-in-law.

It was only recently that I suddenly realized that when I was in college, I always rejected those bold suitors.

Not only because I have a sister like Gu Yawen, but also a brother-in-law like Gao Yang that countless people look up to.

That rejection was actually subconscious.

At Shuimu University, very few people knew about Wu Xiaoyue's family background, but what they did know was that the family background was not trivial.

Even so, those who dare to pursue her are very few among these people.

After being rejected, such a person will never bother her again, he is very polite and knowledgeable.

In Shuimu University, Wu Xiaoyue is a cold-faced goddess in the eyes of many people, although she often smiles.

In 2007, when Wu Xiaoyue was in her third year of college, she seldom drove by herself, but Gu Yawen didn't allow her, so she became a Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions to pick her up.

Wu Xiaoyue has always kept in mind Gao Yang's words at the beginning, and she did not fall in love until she was 23 years old.

This year, she will be 23 years old, but now, she is beginning to feel confused.

The girl Huaichun, but the object is her brother-in-law, Wu Xiaoyue feels that she has become the Wu Ruohan back then, and her inner conflicts are intertwined.

On the morning of March 3th, Gao Yang sat in his study and read a book. Over the years, reading has become his most important hobby.

Since I gradually got free last year, I have more and more time to read books.

There was a light pat on the shoulder, needless to say, it was Wu Ruohan.

Wu Ruohan has been quite free recently, both her son and daughter have gone to kindergarten to play.

Gao Yang didn't even look up, Wu Ruohan straddled his lap, and her sweet lips came up as soon as they were attached.

After parting his lips, Gao Yang said with a smile, "Ruohan, you've become more and more like a little girl recently."

Wu Ruohan smiled: "Then do you like it?"

Gao Yang nodded and smiled: "I hope you live younger and younger."

Wu Ruohan said: "I want to tell you some good news. I just talked to Chen Lan's sister-in-law. Since Titan Fund bought bottom US stocks at the end of 08, the overall return rate has been +160%.

The size of the Titan Fund has reached more than 1100 billion US dollars.

The Titan Wealth Fund, which was raised externally, also has a yield of +120%, and the scale has already reached 220 billion US dollars.

Now, Titan Fortune is well-known, and my sister-in-law wants to open it again in the near future based on this net value, raising 110 billion US dollars.

What do you think? "

Gao Yang said: "Yes, after the fundraising is completed, let's continue to increase the current stock pool."

Wu Ruohan said: "Okay, then I'll go and talk to her."

Later, Liu Li, the president of 51 Pictures, came in a hurry.

Gao Yang said: "Aunt Liu, if you have something to do, you can just call, why bother?"

Liu Li said: "Gao Yang, Ruohan, Boss Wang from Wanda Cinemas is willing to talk to us, but we have to go to his office to talk."

Wu Ruohan asked in surprise, "Aunt Liu, you didn't tell him that Gao Yang wanted to talk to him?"

Liu Li was a little ashamed and said: "Ruohan, as I said, it may be that Wanda has developed very well in the past two years, and Boss Wang is too busy. He said he only had half an hour to talk to us."

Wu Ruohan got angry: "Hey, this sheet music is quite big."

Gao Yang said: "Ruohan, there's no need to be like this. Boss Wang is a senior. How about this? As the CIO of 51 Holdings, you can accompany Aunt Liu to have a chat."

Wu Ruohan asked, "Then how should we talk?"

Gao Yang thought about it: "Let's talk according to the original plan and be polite. Of course, if Boss Wang is willing to sell, we can also buy Wanda Cinemas."

Wu Ruohan smiled: "Okay, then we will try to buy it."

Gao Yang frowned slightly: "Ruohan, business is business, don't get angry."

Wu Ruohan smiled and said, "I know, I obey."

One hour later, in Chaoyang, Beijing, the headquarters building of Wanda Group.

Liu Li and Wu Ruohan walked into Boss Wang's office, but Boss Wang apologized repeatedly, saying that he was too busy with work, and so on.

Liu Li introduced Wu Ruohan with a smile: "President Wang, this is the chief investment officer of our 51 Holding Group, Ms. Wu Ruohan."

Boss Wang stretched out his hand, shook Liu Li and Wu Ruohan lightly, and then sat down to talk:

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Liu, 51 Pictures has gained a great reputation in the past two years, and the momentum is very strong. Why are you interested in theaters?"

Liu Li said: "Mr. Wang, at the beginning of the establishment of 51 Pictures, there are three major business areas in terms of strategy, one is artist brokerage business, the other is investment in film and television dramas, and the third is entering the theater market.

Now, we have a good influence in brokerage business and investment in film and television dramas, and we are ready to enter the theater market.

Wanda Cinemas is the largest cinema chain in China. We hope to invest in it and work together to create a better future.

Last year, we invested in several blockbuster films, all of which will be released this year.

Hollywood's sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar" has been released, and 51 Pictures has invested 5000 million US dollars.

We invested 4000 million in "Tangshan Earthquake", which is going to be released this year.

"Let the Bullets Fly" invested 5000 million, "If You Are the One 2" invested 2000 million, and "Di Renjie" invested 2000 million.

They are all collaborations between famous directors and top stars.

Mr. Wang, 51 Pictures' investment in Wanda Cinemas can help Wanda Cinemas develop faster and achieve win-win cooperation.

Of course, we can also apply for the registration of a cinema company and invest in the construction ourselves.

In contrast, the strategic investment of 51 Pictures is the best choice to cooperate with a mature theater chain like Wanda. "

Boss Wang was slightly taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Liu, how much money can 51 Pictures invest in?"

Wu Ruohan asked: "Mr. Wang, what is the current asset and operation status of Wanda Group?"

Boss Wang smiled slightly: "Last year, we had revenue of more than 700 billion yuan, assets of more than 1300 billion yuan, and net assets of more than 160 billion yuan."

Wu Ruohan said: "Mr. Wang, please rest assured that 51 Pictures' strategic investment in Wanda Cinemas came with enough sincerity.

According to the net asset level of Wanda Group, 51 Holdings can easily acquire 10 Wanda Group. "

Wu Ruohan was just joking. Boss Wang has been proud of himself for the past few years. He has been on the rich list every year, and his ranking has risen rapidly.

51 Holdings can easily acquire not only 10 Wanda Groups, but also dozens of them.

None of the companies under 51 Holdings has been listed yet. After listing, the market value of any company's stock will not be equal to 20 billion US dollars.

A week later, Wanda Cinemas signed an agreement with 51 Pictures to issue 3 million additional shares to 51 Pictures at 3 yuan per share, and 51 Pictures invested 9 million yuan to strategically invest in Wanda Cinemas.

The total share capital of Wanda Cinemas has expanded to 8 million shares, with 51 Pictures accounting for 37.5% of the shares, becoming the second largest shareholder.
