China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 328 Bad money drives out good money? [Three-in-one] 6K large chapter
After saying goodbye to Jiang Xuerou, Gao Fei felt a lot of emotion.

In his opinion, since Jiang Xuerou was able to get together with her husband and have children, she must have had a happy time.

It's a pity that the most unpredictable thing in this world is probably feelings.

There is no after-sales service, no shelf life, and only those who fall in love are responsible for their own profits and losses.

To some extent, marriage should be the most risky behavior in the world.

Therefore, it is often difficult for people who are too rational to enter the palace of marriage, like Gao Fei.

But after sighing for a while, Gao Fei put these redundant emotions behind him, and the excitement that he had been forced to suppress before finally came to his heart.

For this reason, Gao Fei took several deep puffs of cigarettes before he barely restrained his urge to dance.

It's really not that Gao Fei has shallow eyes, but it's really rare to meet this opportunity at this juncture.

But although Gao Fei got a big deal, Jiang Xuerou didn't lose.

As Gao Fei said in the previous negotiations, if Gao Fei does not make a move this time, it may not be long before the industry will spread that a "Peacock Feather" will make Zhou Yi fall apart as a "myth"!
After all, many legends in the entertainment industry come from this way.

And after taking care of Jiang Xuerou, Gao Fei didn't stop at all, Dang even found Zhou Yi's boss Zhou Ping non-stop.

However, facing the nominal boss of Zhou Yi, Gao Fei adopted another strategy.

Because Gao Fei and Zhou Ping hadn't had much interaction before, so after meeting, the two exchanged some business-like politeness.

It's just that when Gao Fei said straight to the point that he intended to acquire Zhou Yi, he didn't continue to come forward, but handed over the negotiation to Han Li.

As for Gao Fei himself, he seemed to be not good at it, and sat on the sidelines to endorse Han Li's words.

……

Speaking of Gao Fei's acquisition offer, Zhou Ping quickly came to his senses after being surprised for a while.

Because the company's final payment problem has not been resolved for a long time, coupled with the entanglement in lawsuits, Zhou Yi's current situation is really not very good.

In fact, even if there was no such thing as divorce, Zhou Ping didn't really want to spend energy on this mess of Zhou Yi.

Therefore, after Gao Fei opened his mouth, Zhou Ping decided to sell the company without much thought.

But out of a businessman's instinct, he still shouted a sky-high price with his mouth open.

Just after hearing Zhou Ping's one billion offer, both Gao Fei and Han Li couldn't help shaking their heads in amusing.

This one really dares to think!

One billion?
Not to mention Zhou Yi, even the current Tang Ren may not be able to have such a valuation.

You must know that in the first half of this year, when Orange Sky acquired Golden Harvest, Wu Kebo only spent [-] million yuan.

Although the film and television production business under Golden Harvest has been suspended for several years, now Golden Harvest is not so much a film and television company as a theater company.

But here comes the point.

Even if it's just showing movies, Jiahe is still quite valuable.

Because after giving up the film production business a few years ago, Golden Harvest put its main energy on the theater.

Therefore, now Golden Harvest Cinemas has become the leader of Asian cinemas, and its cinema channels are all over Southeast Asia.

If not, Wu Kebo would not be willing to spend [-] million to buy Golden Harvest.

After all, Golden Harvest doesn't even have a movie library right now.

Because as early as 1998, in order to solve the company's debt crisis, Golden Harvest boss Zou Wenhuai permanently resold the 172 film copyrights owned by Golden Harvest to Warner Bros. in the United States.

Although Jiahe's brand is valuable, its goodwill alone is not worth [-] million.

Seeing that Zhou Ping himself was shameless, Han Li stopped being polite to him.

Han Li immediately sneered mercilessly and said:

"Mr. Zhou, I have to remind you that the current Zhouyi is only valuable in the eyes of my boss. If it is another company in the same industry, I am afraid that it will only be worth a cabbage price for the sake of the copyright library."

"This point, I don't say it, you should be clear in your heart."

As soon as Han Li's words came out, Zhou Ping fell silent.

Because he knew that although what Han Li said was a bit exaggerated, the current situation Zhou Yi was facing was basically the same - powerful companies looked down on Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi might not have the money!
In addition, the company and his ex-wife and mortal enemy Jiang Xuerou were against him.

So Zhou Ping was also a little worried, if Jiang Xuerou knew that he was going to sell the company, would she make trouble again.

After all, he knew how much effort this ex-wife had spent on Zhou Yi.

That's why Zhou Ping didn't ask other companies for quotations.

It was because he couldn't handle his ex-wife, and Jiang Xuerou would definitely oppose any of his decisions.

So after thinking it over and over again, seeing Gao Fei's expression becoming a little impatient, Zhou Ping, who was worried that if he missed Gao Fei's shares, he would rot in his hands, finally gave in.

However, he still made a request, that is, he only represents himself, and as for Jiang Xuerou, Gao Fei needs to talk on his own.

If the acquisition failed due to Jiang Xuerou's troubles, he would not refund any money.

Hearing this, Gao Fei agreed confidently.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ping thought that Gao Fei didn't know how difficult Jiang Xuerou was. Dang even couldn't help laughing at Gao Fei's recklessness and ignorance in his heart, thinking that Gao Fei didn't know who he was just after making some money.

So without any hesitation, he immediately started arguing with Han Li about the company's valuation.

……

Speaking of the question of how film and television companies should be valued, there has never been an accurate answer.

In other words, the answer was once clear, but is now becoming more and more murky.

As for the reason, I won't go into details.

But so far, there is basically only one valuation method for traditional film and television companies in the world:
That is to look at the data of PE (price-earnings ratio) and EV/EBITDA (enterprise value/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization).

It's just that if you look at it based on the price-earnings ratio, Zhou Yi's performance this year is obviously appalling.

Even though Zhou Yi had two dramas, "The Big Inside and the Low Hand" and "Bao Sangu's Biography" in 2009, the final sales results were not satisfactory.

Coupled with the fierce internal fighting in the company, although the industry is gradually recovering, Zhou Yi's income is not as good as compared to the previous two years.

In addition, the shooting cost of "Peacock Ling" is another big expense.

So after 2009, Zhou Yi's net profit was only 500 million.

Although 500 million seems like a lot of money, it is obviously very shabby compared to Zhou Yi's huge reputation in the industry.

You must know that during the same period, the gross profit of Huayi Brothers' film business this year was a full 6800 million, and the gross profit of the TV drama business was as high as 2.37 million.

Not to mention comparing with Huayi Brothers, even compared with Tang Ren, Zhou Yi is already far inferior.

So when negotiating, Zhou Ping deliberately avoided talking about the company's operating income and net profit, but talked about how strong Zhouyi's reputation is and how valuable Zhouyi's goodwill is!

It has to be said that although Zhou Ping's methods of running the company are average, he still has a bit of brains.

However, because film and television companies often prefer to achieve leapfrog development and resource integration through mergers and acquisitions, although the domestic film and television industry has just become hot, there are already many cases in the industry in this regard.

Therefore, facing Zhou Ping's valuation offer of [-] million yuan, Han Li still denied it without hesitation.

Although he was right to a certain extent, Zhou Yi's past was indeed very brilliant. Classic TV dramas such as "Xiao Shishilang", "Wulin Outer History" and "Water Moon Cave Sky" have indeed built a solid reputation for Zhou Yi.

But Han Li didn't dare to let go of this aspect at all.

Because the valuation of goodwill in the process of mergers and acquisitions is easy to be inflated, and this often brings a great risk of goodwill impairment to the subsequent development of the company after the merger and acquisition, and has a more obvious negative impact on the long-term development of the company .

Therefore, Han Li, who came prepared, immediately refuted Zhou Ping's point of view one by one, and she was prepared but not prepared, and soon made Zhou Ping speechless.

So after a verbal battle, Zhou Ping, who was worried about having long nights and dreams, finally reached an agreement with Gao Fei on the valuation.

And when Zhou Ping finally nodded with an ugly face, Gao Fei and Han Li couldn't help but looked at each other, feeling very grateful.

The sky has eyes, they still did not miss this god-given opportunity after all!
But then again, in this acquisition, the two cooperated very tacitly, and the targeted strategy allowed them to reduce the biggest off-site risk.

And they also made full use of the discord within Zhouyi, allowing them to convince two key opponents in the shortest time.

Of course, an acquisition will not be so simple.

Right now, Gao Fei and Han Li have only completed the most troublesome and critical work. As for the remaining finishing work, it needs the staff of Gao Fei's studio in the capital to continue to complete.

And when Chen Zhixi put aside the preparations for "Embroidered Spring Knife" for the time being, and rushed to HK City with all the studio, lawyers and accountants, she admired Gao Fei and Han Li.

"Boss, Sister Li, your efficiency is too fast."

You must know that when she first received Gao Fei's call in Beijing, she thought Gao Fei had asked her to bring a team to support her.

Unexpectedly, he and Han Li would come to a quick fight, and when they just needed to finish, Chen Zhixi didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing what he said, Gao Fei didn't hide it, and burst out laughing with complacency on his face.

Although the whole thing seems very simple, as if it was completed in just two days, this kind of decisiveness and execution ability is not something everyone can have.

It can be said that Gao Fei and Han Li are not guilty of any praise this time.

However, compared to Gao Fei who likes to show off, Han Li is safer after all.

I saw that she first handed over a few points of the contract to the accompanying team of lawyers, and then knocked Chen Zhixi on the head angrily and said:
"Okay, stop flattering, you will be busy later."

Chen Zhixi left with a smile after hearing this.

And as Chen Zhixi brought the acquisition team into the arena, Gao Fei Studio could no longer hide the fact that Zhou Yi was going to be acquired.

……

In fact, this incident was first revealed by Zhouyi's internal employees.

After all, even if you want to hide such a big event of company acquisition, you can't hide it.

It was only at the beginning that many netizens thought it was fake news, and some netizens even wondered if this would be a new program for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

But after the Spring Festival Gala refuted the rumors, and neither Gao Fei nor Zhou Yi came forward to deny them, the Internet immediately exploded.

……

【Tianya Forum】

Detour: I'll go!Is today April Fool's Day?Isn't this too ridiculous?
Chihuang Xuanzhang: (⊙o⊙)...It's really ridiculous, Mr. Gao?Why am I so unaccustomed to shouting?

Qianqian's factory worker: It's okay, no matter what, it's a good thing. Being able to buy Zhouyi shows that Lao Gao has really made a fortune in the past two years!

Dangdang 0229: Reported!Thank you!
……

Cough cough~ Although netizens often chat with each other, they will get crooked.

However, Gao Fei's acquisition of Zhou Yi really shocked many netizens. For a while, Gao Fei even stole the limelight of the Spring Festival Gala.

Among them, what netizens are most concerned about is how much money Gao Fei has?
However, unlike the focus of netizens' concern, when Huayi, Bona, Optical Fiber, and even Tang Ren and other film and television companies in the industry heard the news, they immediately reacted and paid attention to Zhouyi's purchase price.

Because this data can reflect many problems, it can also convey a lot of information.

So soon various conference calls began to get busy.

Many executives of film and television companies who have already taken their annual leave even had to rush back to the company overnight to host the meeting.

"Can't get through Gao Fei's phone?"

"Then contact the people in his studio. If it doesn't work, fly to Haikou. We must get an accurate news!"

It is not that these companies are so gossip, but that it is related to their development plans for the coming year.

After all, Gao Fei has a lot of gold mines that they covet.

……

At the same time, in the face of such a hot spot delivered to your door, the major entertainment newspapers, magazines and other paper media will naturally not miss it.

I don't know where they got the data from, anyway, all kinds of remunerations that are good or bad are paid to Gao Fei.

However, many of the film projects that Gao Fei has participated in since his debut are blockbusters, so without Gao Fei himself knowing, his film salary was almost blown up by the media overnight to be almost the same as that of Brother Cheng Long and Li Lianjie .

Seeing this situation, some local newspapers couldn't sit still.

After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and many things cannot be written, only Haiqingheyan, singing and dancing.

So the major daily newspapers and business newspapers, which were suffocated, also came to join in the fun.

Analyze the actor's acquisition of the film and television company from various angles one by one.

Some media took a neutral attitude, and only analyzed why Zhou Yi fell to such a point from the perspective of management.

But some film critics and experts who have been teased by Gao Fei are not so kind.

Even if they justly criticized this phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money" in the newspaper.

Obviously, Gao Fei is what they call "bad money".

Another part of the mind is deeper, directly using Gao Fei as an example, talking about the salary from heaven and the like.

So before Gao Fei responded, these people started arguing in the newspapers.

However, after these financial and social newspapers also got involved, Gao Fei's acquisition of Zhou Yi was completely broken.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Chinese people who have been busy for a year finally have a little time to rest.

And once people are free, they will naturally find something to chat about.

But don't look at Gao Fei who is now known as a super star, but in fact, a large part of the people in China have never cared about the entertainment industry.

It is likely that they have heard Goofy's name before, and have seen Goofy's billboards on the side of the road, but that's all.

They may not even be able to match the name Gao Fei with his face.

After all, the pressure of adults always leaves them no time to care about things other than making money.

Then a situation happened that Gao Fei didn't expect to break his head.

The first time many people in the country formally knew him was from various social news.

Some experts even used him as an example in some legal news, saying that if Gao Fei's wealth is real, then at least how much tax he should pay these years!
In such a situation, Gao Fei, the person involved, was caught off guard for a while.

But seeing that things were out of his control, Gao Fei decided to hold a press conference in Haikou after pondering for a moment.

Be prepared to clarify everything all at once.

And when this news came out, it quickly caused a wave of waves in the media circle.

Many media people and reporters secretly scolded Gao Fei for being troubled, while they couldn't wait to get on the plane to HK.

So although the news of the press conference hadn't been made public for a long time, the media from all walks of life almost gathered in Haikou.

For a time, almost half of the passengers coming out of Haikou Airport were media people from all over the world.

……

2010, April 2.

Just three days before the Spring Festival.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Gao Fei felt the hotel's meeting room, it was already full of reporters standing there.

Yes, because there were too many people, all the chairs that had been prepared were removed under the protest of all the reporters.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei didn't say anything.

After all, they didn't want to sit, so it's none of his business!
However, when Gao Fei and his group appeared on the scene facing the continuous flashing lights, just when the anxious reporters from all walks of life wanted to ask questions, Gao Fei suddenly invited four notaries in uniform.

"These two are the staff of the local notary office, and these two are the comrades of the tax bureau I invited to assist."

Facing the suspicious eyes of various media reporters, Gao Fei looked at everyone solemnly and said:
"Thank you in advance for your concern."

"Because I found that everyone seems to be very concerned about my tax payment, so I specially invited a few comrades to the scene, which can be regarded as an explanation for everyone."

Then, under the dumbfounded eyes of all the media, Gao Fei, with the cooperation of the notary office and several staff members of the tax bureau, issued the relevant tax payment vouchers to the media.

But it's just the general ledger, and the detailed ledger is naturally kept confidential.

Although this may allow people to discover some of Gao Fei's income through tax data, Gao Fei still decided to do so after careful consideration.

Because after reviewing all media opinions, Gao Fei found that only one had the most sinister intentions.

And there is no room for ambiguity on this kind of issue. You must know that Aunt Liu Xiaoqing was imprisoned because of tax evasion.

It can be seen from this that the people behind the scenes hated Gao Fei deeply. They didn't stop ruining Gao Fei, and they wanted to send him directly to step on the sewing machine!
Of course, Gao Fei also knew in his heart that even if he did this, those people would still find fault with all kinds of faults.

But Goofy doesn't care.

Because what he did was to show an attitude: he has a clear conscience, and he is not afraid to investigate casually!

In this way, no matter how much the mice in the gutter jumped around, they couldn't stir up any trouble.

After this episode, the atmosphere at the press conference finally became normal.

After Gao Fei announced the official start of the press conference, he decisively announced to the reporters the news they most wanted to know.

"As you can see, after full communication between the two parties, Gaofei Studio has successfully acquired Zhouyi Film and Television with a valuation of 3.2 million!"

As soon as Gao Fei's words came out, the spacious conference room was silent for a while, and then a burst of noise suddenly broke out.

Although the reporters from all walks of life were mentally prepared before coming here, when they learned that Gao Fei, a young man, had really spent hundreds of millions of yuan to acquire Zhouyi, all the reporters couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Especially when they saw Gao Fei's young and handsome face, they felt even more uncomfortable.

However, after some entanglement, professionalism finally took over.

Soon, all the reporters who came to their senses rushed to ask Gao Fei loudly.

For a moment, the meeting room, which was already full, suddenly looked like a vegetable market, full of noise, and Han Li had to spend a lot of energy to restore order.

While Gao Fei's press conference was going on, there was already a quick-handed portal reporter on the other side, who directly sent the news back.

As a result, the excitement in the conference room just now was repeated on the Internet.

After all, it was one thing to guess before, but it is another thing now that things come true.

It can be said that at the end of this year, Gao Fei has become the topic of many Chinese people's gossip...

　Because there are too few external materials on Zhouyi, I mainly refer to the Tangren Film and Television of the same period for the valuation, and the rest is the information found on the website.
