After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 367 Give us the cat?I vote 100 million more

It can be seen that Meng Yuanyuan likes this cat very much, Shi Qi said:
"You are welcome to come to our studio often, come and see the milkshakes, and drop by us."

Meng Yuanyuan covered her mouth and smiled.

She was very happy stroking the cat, half an hour passed before she knew it, when Li Zhuo and Lin Hun came out of the conference room.

In the conference room, Lin Hun chatted with him about his future plans, including the production of the sequel to "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain" and the production of new works.

Li Zhuo understands that this director prefers quality over quantity, and would rather go slower in order to produce a good work.

Li Zhuo appreciates this kind of thinking, and it’s not bad to be less but more refined. Compared with the impetuous reality that the Chinese manga world is eager to realize, it is indeed much better.

Moreover, Li Zhuo also discovered that this director insists on himself and does not want outsiders to interfere too much with his plan.

Lin Hun obviously also understands that the model he adopts has a very narrow scope for monetization, and it is relatively difficult to make a profit.

Therefore, he frankly said to Li Zhuo:
"Some investors have come here before. After hearing my ideas, they feel that according to my approach, the return on investment is slow, the efficiency is low, and the opportunity to make money is wasted. Therefore, they asked me to change my thinking and reduce the quality to speed up the process. , more animation products, I rejected it.

So if the boss wants to make quick money, it is more difficult to achieve his goal by investing in my studio. "

After hearing this, Li Zhuo asked:

"According to this model, are you sure of making a profit?"

"It should be profitable. The premise is that I control the size of the studio. It does not exceed 10 people. The total cost is limited. I am sure to rely on the quality of the work to attract the audience and finally make money." Lin Hun explained.

"So, you are more interested in making animations that you like, and less interested in making them bigger and stronger?" Li Zhuo asked.

This question was rather sharp, Lin Hun thought for a while before replying:

"Of course my studio hopes to become bigger and stronger, but the reality is that there is no money and no manpower, so what can I do?

The only way I can do it is to do a good job and use word of mouth to drive subsequent development.Therefore, a small workshop like mine cannot operate in the same way as the top animation companies in China. "

This is the truth. This director may not have the ambition to become bigger and stronger, but the reality made him bow his head and choose the most suitable path for him.

Li Zhuo asked:

"If I injected 300 million into the studio, what would you do with the money?"

Lin Hun said:

"The studio's finances will be much better. I will use this money to recruit more people, speed up the production of the sequel, increase the number of episodes, and strive to release it online as soon as possible."

"Then what if you were given 500 million?"

"Then it will be more calm. Maybe I will consider moving the studio to a remote area of ​​Hangzhou, such as Yuhang or Xiaoshan, because there are more talents in Hangzhou than in Quzhou, and the quality is higher."

"So, you are looking after the food, right? If you raise 1 million yuan in the follow-up financing, what will you do?" Li Zhuo asked.

Lin Hun also laughed when he heard this, and replied:
"If this is not a dream, by the way, I have always had such a dream, then I will make "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain" a series of IP, a distinctive animation universe, and I will also recruit top talents , carry out more new projects, and strive to make two or three more recognized big IPs."

Li Zhuo nodded after listening, this director still has ambitions.

He said:
"I'll vote you 500 million now. You need to use this money to do things first. You really need to recruit people as soon as possible. If there are only six people, it will be too slow to do anything."

Lin Hun was a little excited when he heard this, and thanked him again and again.

His feeling is that someone finally appreciates it, and he will not have to be so stretched to do projects in the future.

This amount of money is not much, and Li Zhuo thinks it is worth it to invest in such a director who spends all his money on work while living frugally.

At least when he gets the money, he will seriously polish the work and make the sequel better and longer.

So this investment, even if Li Zhuo can't make any money, can be regarded as contributing to the development of Guoman.

The question is, how much equity in the studio can this 500 million investment bring to Li Zhuo.

The fixed assets of this studio are worthless, but now that "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain" is very popular, the IP value has been highlighted, so it is impossible to get equity at the price of cabbage.

Li Zhuo didn't care too much about the money, and asked casually:
"When other investors came to evaluate, what was the valuation of "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain"?"

This kind of thing can't be concealed, and it becomes clear after a little inquiring in the industry, and Li Zhuo is not afraid of him telling lies.

Lin Hun smiled wryly, and said:

"Valuations are also inconsistent. The valuation given by station b is 2000 million, the valuation given by a venture capital firm is 2300 million, and the valuation given by another is 2500 million. No matter how high it is, there will be no more, so the range is probably Between 2000 and 2500 million."

It’s normal to have different valuations. Station B’s offer is the lowest because once it becomes a shareholder, the resources it can provide to the studio are unmatched by other companies, so its valuation will naturally be lowered.

Those with high valuations are pure investments and will not provide much additional help.

Li Zhuo nodded and said:

"Then I agree to inject 2500 million into the studio with a valuation of 500 million."

In other words, this investment will allow Li Zhuo to obtain 20% of the studio's equity.

For Lin Hun, this offer was definitely considered relatively generous, so he quickly agreed.

The two agreed to sign the contract the next day, after which Li Zhuo planned to leave.

After he came out of the conference room, Meng Yuanyuan greeted him with a smile:

"There is a cat named Milkshake in their studio, not to mention how cute it is, I like it very much."

Li Zhuo took her hand and asked with a smile:
"You don't want to take it home, do you?"

Meng Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"I think so, but it is spoiled by the people in the studio, and everyone likes it. I can't take it away."

Li Zhuo turned around and asked the director:
"How about I invest an additional 100 million yuan, and you give us the milkshake?"

Can a cat be worth 100 million?Lin Hun was a little dazed when he heard this, blinked his eyes, and didn't react for a while.

Meng Yuanyuan quickly pulled him and said in a low voice:

"Husband, how presumptuous it is."

Li Zhuo laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said:
"Don't get entangled, I'm just kidding, if I snatch the cat from your studio, I guess the popularity here will not be so bad."

Lin Hun laughed and said:
"If you like milkshakes, you can take them home for two days, as long as you return them later."

Li Zhuo waved his hand and said:

"Farewell, my girlfriend has no resistance to cats, and she will be reluctant to return them if she brings them home. She also plans to open a cat pet cafe in Hangzhou. When it opens, welcome to pet cats if you have the opportunity. "

Shi Qi was very happy after listening to it, and said:

"It's Sister Yuan who has an idea. The cat cafe is interesting and fun. I really envy you. You can do such a fun thing as a career."

Indeed, only wealthy and idle people can play with their hobbies like this, and don't care how much money it costs.

Meng Yuanyuan smiled and said:
"He still inspired me. He asked me before whether I wanted to keep it at home or open a shop. After I rested for a while, I felt a little bored at home, so I thought of this."

"Well, it feels great, and I also hope that I can have money to do what I am interested in." Seventeen envied.

Meng Yuanyuan just laughed, she was able to do this because Li Zhuo was rich and could make her live comfortably, and she didn't care whether the cat cafe made money or not, so she could lie flat.

But most people obviously can't do it. If you don't pull the mill, you will have nothing to eat. Who dares to pick and choose.

But Meng Yuanyuan is a very smart girl, so naturally she wouldn't say this out loud.

　Thank you Boss Su for the reward of 500 coins, bow, thank you for your monthly tickets, bow!
