China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 112 Boss Lu is a cross-border investor

Song Chi Ling.

Number of downloads in October: 10 times

Number of downloads in October: 11 times

Number of downloads in October: 12 times

Cumulative total number of downloads: 20 times

Cumulative sales amount: 41 yuan

The artist's share is: 6 yuan.

One single, and in three months, the total revenue was more than 670 million. Although it was pre-tax, it was still a very astonishing figure.

Chi Ling's income alone is worth half of the album's share.

In addition to "Chi Ling", the ten songs in Lu Yuan's first album have been downloaded more than 9000 million times on the ringback end.

Five months, ten songs, 9000 million times, the average monthly downloads of each song is about 180 million.

Although it cannot be compared with "Chi Ling", it still beats 99.99% of CRBT songs.

The performance of the ten songs on the wireless terminal directly brought Lu Yuan 2880 million yuan in income.

28+800+000=6 yuan.

The total revenue from an album exceeds 5000 million. Even if it is just the pre-tax portion, it is still a huge amount of money.

If we only count mainland singers, Lu Yuan is the well-deserved king of earning money!
In the Forbes China Celebrity List released in April this year, No. 4 is Dayao, ranking first with an income of 1 million.

With an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars and numerous international endorsements, Yao is the number one in history!

No. 2, Liu Feiren, with a personal income of 5800 million. (athlete)
No. 3, Zhang Yimou, with a personal income of 3500 million. (director)

No. 4, Zhang Ziyi, personal income is 1800 million. (actor)

Among mainland singers, Li Yuchun ranks eighth on the overall list and first on the singer list with a personal income of 1300 million.

(PS: 10 years ago, Forbes China Celebrity List only counted mainland China, and the list published in 07 was based on income in 06)

Although the 08 Forbes celebrity list has not been ranked yet, based on the personal income of the mainland boss, the top ten or even the top five have been locked in advance.

After reading the statistics, Lu Yuan gently closed the folder.

If you include the income from commercial performances and endorsements, the pre-tax income for the whole year of 07 will be about 7000 million.

To paraphrase the words of the richest man Wang, it is still far from a small goal.

Boss Lu, still needs to work hard!

"Brother Tao, when will the money arrive?"

"If it's fast, it's a week, if it's slower, it's half a month to a month." Yuan Tao turned around and said, "What, are you short of money now? If so, I'll help you."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Tao."

Lu Yuan is indeed short of money recently.

There are too many places to spend money.

The crew of "Star You", the investment in "Xian 3", the acquisition of copyrights by personal studios, the purchase of equipment by record companies, recording and distribution of records, and the investment in D3 movements. Each of these projects is a gold-burning hole.

In addition to these items, Lu Yuan's Morningstar Fund (MSC) is also a gold-eating beast.

This month or next month, MSC Capital will invest in one or two Internet companies.

MSC Capital will invest 500 million in Fanfou.com and Hainei.com respectively, for a total investment of 1000 million.

Fanfou.com is a website built by Wang Xing modeled after foreign Twitter. It can be called a mini blog or a microblog.

Since Xiaonei.com was acquired by Thousand Oaks Group, founder Wang Xing left Xiaonei.com and started a new business, founding Fanfou.com.

There are successful cases of Xiaonei.com, and Wang Xing, who is in the early stages of starting a business, is not short of money for the time being.

If you just have money, it will be difficult to join Fanfou.com.

But Lu Yuan is different.

He is a 'star' investor, a serious star.

Comes with star aura and exposure.

At first, when Wang Xing learned that Lu Yuan was planning to invest in Fanfou.com, Wang Xing's first reaction was that the other party must be a liar.

It wasn't until the two made a video call that Wang Xing confirmed this fact.Lu Yuan wanted to invest in Wang Xing, and Wang Xing wanted Lu Yuan's fame. The two parties were in love with each other, and their investment intentions were confirmed in just a few words.

However, the specific financing share has not yet been negotiated.

The financing plan given by Wang Xing is an investment of 500 million in exchange for 8.3% of Fanfou.com. In other words, his valuation of Fanfou.com is 6000 million.

Lu Yuan certainly disagrees with this valuation.

Fanfou.com was launched in May 07, and it has only been half a year.

Although it is the first microblog in China, Fanfou.com is not the only microblog.

Tengxun's Taotao.com is also a microblog type website.

Why should Fanfou.com fight with Taotao who is backed by Tengxun?

Therefore, Lu Yuan's request was to invest 500 million in exchange for 15.8% of the equity and be willing to sign a concerted action agreement.

According to Lu Yuan’s valuation system, Fanfou currently only has a valuation of around 3200 million.

Because the valuation difference between the two parties was too large, the negotiation process was shelved.

However, Lu Yuan is not worried about the breakdown of negotiations.

In business, it is important to ask for a high price and pay the money on the spot. Moreover, for a nascent social networking site, his fame is also a huge bonus.

Take your time.

As his fame grows, Wang Xing will only become more and more anxious.

In fact, the investment in Fanfou.com and Hainei.com was destined to be a failed investment. The 1000 million spent was almost wasted.

But Lu Yuan's investment target was not the website itself.

It is Wang Xing, the founder of the website, and Zhang Yiming, the technical partner who will join Fanfou next year.

If only a single project is counted, this investment will definitely have negative returns, but if long-term returns are calculated.

Using 1000 million to exchange for a ticket to join Meituan and Toutiao is definitely a huge profit.

Let alone 1000 million, even 2000 million or even [-] million is still worth it.

of course.

It is actually impossible for Lu Yuan to invest that much. If he really paid tens of millions for just a small share, Wang Xing would doubt his original intention of investing.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Money must be compared to make people feel more at ease.

When Fanfou.com was 'ordered' to go offline, the good people from Lu came forward again to express the concerns of investors.

Everything after that will fall into place.

Xinlang?

Can't afford to provoke, can afford to hide!
Lu Yuan was beating the drum on the sidelines, asking the two star founders to change tracks.

He is not greedy either. He will invest in an angel round, followed by an A round or a B round. In the remaining rounds, he will follow suit depending on the situation.

Investing in Wang Xing and Zhang Yiming is just a part of Lu Yuan's personal business map. He has never thought of taking Meituan and Toutiao as his own.

That's not realistic.

(Mainly readers don’t like to read it.)
His main business is still the entertainment industry.

Meituan and Toutiao are just one of the moats for media groups.

Moreover, Xingchen Media has no overlap with Meituan and Toutiao in terms of equity. The connection between these three companies is MSC Capital.

This was also Lu Yuan’s original intention when he established Morningstar Capital.

Even if an accident occurs to any company, it will not affect other companies.

Well.

Hiding oneself quietly is also one of the goals.

Before websites such as Tianyancha and Qichacha were launched, holding shares in the form of a company was more conducive to hiding one's existence.

Enter the village secretly, not those who shoot.

Make a fortune in silence!
