Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 861 The Three Beauties Gather
"Brother Dong, Mr. Zhang, here we come!" Seeing the two of them coming in, Chen Hao got up and welcomed them.

"Mr. Li!"

"Old Li!"

"Mr. Yu!"

……

After a short greeting, everyone took their seats.

As the host, Chen Hao said, "We haven't seen each other for a year, it's rare to get together today, let's go first!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao cleaned up.

Everyone nodded after hearing the words, "Okay, let's go first!"

After drinking a cup, everyone started to move and chattered.

"Brother, congratulations on breaking the film history box office record again!" Yu Dong looked at Chen Hao and smiled.

"It's really awesome. The 13.5 billion box office of "Avatar" was scary to death. I didn't expect you to do it." Li Mingqiao praised.

"Chen Dong's box office appeal is really incredible." Zhang Zhao nodded.

"Brother, you are really a god." Li Ming also nodded.

"It's also thanks to everyone's help, otherwise it's not necessarily true!" Chen Hao said modestly, "Come on, I'll give you a toast."

"Mr. Yu, I have to congratulate you. This is the first company in the mainland to go public in the United States. You must drink one." Li Mingqiao looked at Dong Yu.

Yu Dong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, "The first one is the first one, but it's a bit different from what I thought!"

Everyone also understood that after all, it broke on the first day of listing, and Yu Dong must have been in a panic.

"That's because the United States doesn't understand Bernard. As long as Bernard's performance is outstanding, the stock price will continue to rise." Li Ming comforted.

"That's right!" Yu Dong nodded.

In fact, Yu Dong still has high expectations for Bona's listing in the United States. Although he broke the offer, he is still very confident in Bona's long-term development.

"Then it depends on my brother." Yu Dong looked at Chen Hao and said, "How about my brother, how are the preparations for the new film going?"

Everyone also looked at Chen Hao after hearing the words. After all, Chen Hao's movies have always been their participation, and they have made a lot of money. This is also a benefit that this small group has always maintained.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Hao shook his head, "I'm going to take a break. I don't have any plans for the time being next year except to go to America to make a movie."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then they all nodded. Indeed, Chen Hao has made 10 films in the 19 years since his debut. The output is indeed ridiculously high.

Even though Chen Hao is young and strong, there will be times when he is tired and bored, and it is time for him to rest.

Between the toasts and cups, the wine has three rounds and the dishes have five flavors.

Li Ming suddenly pulled Chen Hao and said, "Brother, I'm ready for the second round of financing."

"Oh?" Chen Hao paused upon hearing this.

Since the establishment of Feiteng Pony, the company's business has continued to expand. In addition to the old line of work, TV dramas, movies, brokerage, theaters, and new media have all been involved.

If the stall is too large, it will naturally require huge funds to support it.

After a round of financing, Xiaoma Feiteng has developed rapidly, and its various businesses have developed rapidly.

However, the profit situation is not very good, or it is still in the stage of vigorous investment, and it will take some time to produce output.

So when the money is always running out, it is obvious that Pony Feiteng is short of money now, so it wants to conduct a second round of financing and continue to develop in an all-round way.

However, Pony Feiteng does not lack investors, and created the largest amount of financing in the mainland entertainment industry in the first round.

In addition, Haotian, Huayi, Bona, etc. have been successfully listed, and their market value has soared dozens of times.

In particular, Chen Hao has a net worth of over 200 billion due to the Haotian movie, and "Inception" has created an astonishing box office and net profit, which has caused major capital and hot money to rush into the entertainment industry.

It can be said that the establishment of mainland entertainment companies has entered the first blowout period.

A few so-called senior people get together to fool around, and they can get an investment to set up a company, not to mention a star company in the industry like Galloping Horse.

"What I mean is that I still hope that my brother can participate in the second round of financing, at least the equity will not decrease." Li Ming said sincerely, "I still don't trust the capital."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, "No problem, Brother Li, I will say hello to Hu Jin and participate in the second round of financing of Pony Feiteng."

Li Ming then said, "Can Haotian Films participate this time, so that our two companies can cooperate more in the future."

Chen Hao nodded after listening, "Yes."

Previously, Haotian Film and Television participated in the first round of financing of Pony Feiteng, accounting for 10% of the shares. This time, Haotian Film and Television became a shareholder, which can also diversify the equity.

"Then thank you, brother!" Li Ming patted Chen Hao on the shoulder and said.

"Don't be polite with me." Chen Hao said with a smile.

Li Ming patted Chen Hao again, then turned to look for Yu Dong.

Chen Hao approached Zhang Zhao, who was frowning slightly, "What's the matter, Mr. Zhang, why are you so worried?"

Zhang Zhao glanced at Chen Hao, sighed and said, "I might have to leave Guangliang!"

Chen Hao raised his brows after hearing this, and I became more energetic when you said this, "What's going on?"

Whether it is company employees or people in the industry, they all have high evaluations of Zhang Zhao, and they are relatively consistent: tenacious, easy-going, hard-working, really understands and loves movies.

Zhang Zhao likes football, never leaves his cigarette, and works very hard, almost every day he works until 12 o'clock at night before finishing work.

It is very likely that his sudden death in his previous life was related to his obsession with smoking and working too hard.

Zhang Zhao was one of the first batch of filmmakers in China to go abroad to study in the United States. After seeing the Hollywood film industry, he also wanted to build a "road to the film industry" in China.

I want Hollywood-style capital, distribution, production, and operation experience to fly on it, brand Huaxia movies, and drive the prosperity of the entire industry.

At that time, Zhang Zhao no longer just wanted to be a film producer, but wanted to be the "chief designer" of China's film industry.

For this reason, he is constantly looking for allies of ideas and capital to build the cornerstone together.

Then he met his younger brother, the bright Wang Changtian, and created Bright Pictures!

Founding Guangxian Pictures was once Zhang Zhao's "highlight moment", and the first "distribution" model that was transplanted on Zhang Zhao's expressway quickly shined brilliantly.

"Ground network distribution" has created a "glamorous speed" that has attracted the attention of the industry, and has also accelerated the commercialization of Chinese film genres.

It was only later that he was kicked out of the limelight, and then he got acquainted with Jia Leting, who had a habit of "grand narrative" similar to himself.

Jia Le stopped using the more high-dimensional "ecological anti" and "Internet Transformation Movies" thought flow to recruit Zhang Zhao, and gave him great rights and freedom.

It's a pity that Jia Leting did a good job in PPT, but he ignored the tactical aspect, and then brought Leshi into the whirlpool, and Leshi Pictures was also dragged down, causing Zhang Zhao to leave again.

This is a tragic figure.

Thought and ability are there, but they have been wrongly paid.

"I want Guangxian Pictures to be listed independently." Zhang Zhaodao, "But the shareholders of Guangxian Media insist on letting Guangxian Pictures merge into Guangxian Media and go public together. I am not reconciled!"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Regarding the issue of Zhang Zhao leaving Guangliang, there were many speculations in his previous life.

Wang Changtian has never expressed his opinions in public, and the outside world does not know, but Zhang Zhao has made several public responses after leaving office.

Although the details are different each time, the theme is basically the same, that is, Zhang Zhao is a person with a very strong sense of crisis.

Around 2010, he had vaguely felt the impact of the Internet on the film and television industry, so he was unwilling to miss this wave of trends, and chose to start again, creating Leshi Films with Internet attributes.

Having said that, the outside world always believes that the root cause of Zhang Zhao’s resignation from Guangxian is that the Guangxian Film Industry he founded cannot be listed independently, and must be attached to Guangxian Media, whose main business is TV program production. Zhang Zhao made the decision out of disappointment.

Regarding this assertion, everyone thinks there is some truth, but not all. In fact, some clues can be found in the prospectus of Guangliang IPO, which may be a footnote for this incident from the perspective of personal interests.

According to the prospectus issued by Guangxian Pictures in June 2011, Zhang Zhao, as one of the founders of the company and an important minister of Guangxian Pictures, holds only 6% of the shares in Guangxian Media.

The shareholding ratio is far lower than that of Li Xiaoping, Li Delai, Wang Changtian's younger sister Wang Yu, etc., and is even outside the top ten natural person shareholders.

This kind of treatment is obviously different from what Jia Leting gave him.

According to the restructuring report disclosed by Leshi Films in 2016, Zhang Zhao directly held 3.8291% of the shares of Leshi Films at that time.

Based on the calculation of 1% cash + 9% share consideration, after the completion of the merger, Zhang Zhao not only received 3752.52 million yuan in cash, but also 0.36% of the shares of the listed company Leshi.com.

If these shareholding ratios are not intuitive enough, it is easier to understand when converted to the corresponding market value.

Calculated based on the time when Leshi Pictures injected into Leshi.com, the total price of Leshi Pictures in Zhang Zhao's hands was about 3.75 million yuan, while the market value at that time was only 300 billion yuan, and the converted shares were only 7200 million yuan.

This comparison can better understand Zhang Zhao's sadness.

The previous boss, Wang Changtian, was a well-known budget-conscious leader in the industry. He wanted to spend every penny in half. He was also extremely demanding on employees, and his salaries were notoriously low in the industry.

The understanding behind having the reputation of "Whampoa Military Academy" in the TV field is that most people will choose to leave their jobs after a few years of training and go to other places to spread their branches.

But the latter boss, Jia Leting, was notoriously generous, spending money lavishly, but blindly expanding without paying attention to the tactical level, which eventually led to the disintegration of the Leshi department.

Chen Hao looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am very thirsty for you. I had no chance before, but you always refused. Now I am leaving Guangliang. How about coming to Haotian?
Haotian’s platform is larger than Guangxian’s, and it has initially established its own ecological industry chain, and we have been trying the Internet + movie industry model, which you can understand after you come here.

There is no doubt that Haotian is a platform that can show your personal talents and ambitions. As for personal treatment, I can give you option rewards, at least more kind than Mr. Wang. "

Zhang Zhao smiled when he heard the words, he had heard such words countless times, and every time they got together, Chen Hao would poach the wall and promise in person.

Before Zhang Zhao felt that Chen Hao was too vigorous and young, but after knowing him for so many years, Chen Hao has always been like this, and he can indeed see Chen Hao's sincerity.

"I've known Mr. Chen's intentions for a long time." Zhang Zhao said with a touch of emotion, "I'm not hypocritical. If I really leave Guangliang, I will come to you automatically and beg you to take me in."

"Just take it in." Chen Hao said with a smile when he heard the words, "I have to sweep the couch to welcome you."

The two laughed and drank two glasses, and they reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

Afterwards, Chen Hao went to find Li Mingqiao again.

"By the way, Brother Li, how is the construction of Haotian Building going?" Chen Hao asked.

"The roof is about to be capped, but the interior decoration will take some time. If you really want to enter the office, you have to wait until at least the beginning of 2012." Li Mingqiao replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The 4-story building is already a bit crowded, because Haotian Special Effects has been recruiting people, and the number of people is close to a thousand.

That is to say, Haotian Special Effects has made money, otherwise Haotian Special Effects would be dragged to death by raising so many people.

The special effects studio is indeed a place with a glamorous appearance, but there are already many special effects companies around the world that cannot afford the wages of their employees.

On the one hand, the special effects studio showed everyone excellent viewing effects, but on the other hand, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, because the labor cost in the United States was really too high.

Even the world-renowned special effects company is no exception. The digital field that has cooperated with Chen Hao many times will be acquired by Pony Feiteng in 2 years because of lack of money and bankruptcy.

Then Chen Hao wanted to ask how to build a hotel on the land he bought. According to Hu Jin's suggestion, the value of the MGM Hotel could be increased.

However, I thought that the acquisition of MGM had not been completed yet, so I should wait until it was acquired before asking.

"By the way, brother, I haven't bought a villa for several years. How about it? Do you want to buy a few more?" Li Mingqiao asked.

When Chen Hao heard the words, he thought of Sister Shi, "What are the prices now?"

"If you want to buy a villa like before, you need at least 3000-3500 million." Li Mingqiao replied.

Chen Hao shook his head after hearing this, the rise was really fast, and he wanted to refuse immediately, but suddenly thought of something and nodded again, "Alright, let's build another one."

Li Mingqiao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "It's still refreshing, brother."

"By the way, do you have any connections to buy a private jet?" Chen Hao asked suddenly.

There is still a large amount of money lying in Chen Hao's account now, he has nothing to do, and wants to buy a private jet for fun.

In this way, it is convenient to travel by yourself in the future, and you can also play games such as stewardess cosplay and a thousand miles a day.

"Private jet?" Li Mingqiao was taken aback when he heard the words, "You want to buy a private jet? I'm really not familiar with this, but I can ask you."

"Then please trouble Brother Li." Chen Hao nodded.

After a meal, the party was not over yet. The next few people went to take a bath and sauna, enjoyed the one-stop service of massage and foot therapy, and lived in the Haotian Club at night.

Early the next morning, several people left one after another.

Chen Hao went to the company to continue handling company affairs, and at the same time continued to accompany Tianxian.

After waiting until the end of December, Yaya returned to the imperial capital first.

Then, like an appointment, Xiaohu and Dameitang also came back on the same day.

Three beauties gather!
