China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 133 Come to the Bowl

08:30 in the evening.

After the rehearsal, Lu Yuan was about to go home. After turning his phone back on, he saw a series of familiar mobile phone numbers.

Wang Xing, can you finally hold it back?

After saying goodbye to Huayi's new celebrity Wang Baoqiang, Lu Yuan got into the car and dialed Wang Xing's phone number.

"Hey, Brother Wang, did you just call me?"

"Sorry, I was rehearsing here at CCTV and my phone was always turned off."

"tomorrow morning?"

"I'm free, of course I'm free."

"Okay, then I'll meet you at the company at ten o'clock in the morning."

After hanging up the phone, the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth slowly raised. Although Wang Xing didn't say anything on the phone, it meant something to ask him to meet tomorrow morning.

it goes without saying.

Most likely he couldn't hold it any longer.

Last year, Ali Baba was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, giving all Internet companies a shot in the arm.

But at the beginning of this year, the subprime debt crisis began to emerge on the other side of the ocean, and many investment institutions began to tighten their money.

No one knows whether the Internet will usher in the next cold winter.

Even though Fanfou.com’s current cash flow is very healthy.

However, those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for one area.

The cold wind in the investment world has still blown into the Internet field, especially small and medium-sized Internet companies like Fanfou.com, which feel it the most.

In addition, Lu Yuan is famous overseas, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Xing made this call.

Once this call was made, it meant that he had lost part of his initiative, but he had to make the call.

If the stalemate continues, Fanfou.com will become increasingly weak.

……

……

The next day.

Lu Yuan met Wang Xing, who was under 30 years old, at the headquarters of Fanfou.com. He recognized him at first glance and looked like a strong man.

Although it was the first time the two met offline, they had made many video calls.

Therefore, there was not much restraint when the two met.

The one who was most shocked by Lu Yuan's arrival was the company's employees. As an Internet company, the company's employees were basically young people.

The average age is no more than 28 years old.

Previously, there had been rumors circulating within the company that a 'star' investor would soon take a stake in Fanfou.com.

Employees have speculated which institution it is, whether it is Sequoia Capital or a star investment institution such as IDG and GGV Capital.

But Lu Yuan's appearance really surprised the employees.

Both surprised and delighted.

Lu Yuan, a true star investor!
During the visit to the company, Lu Yuan responded to the call of the employees and distributed many autographed CDs. Fortunately, he always had a box of CDs in his car. Otherwise, for so many people, one CD would not be enough for each person.

Seeing Lu Yuan's popularity in his company, Wang Xing became increasingly greedy for Lu Yuan's influence.

As long as the investment plan proposed by Lu Yuan is not too extreme, he will agree.

However, the plan proposed by Lu Yuan exceeded his expectation.

500 million investment, 14.8% equity, and signing of a concerted action agreement.

This plan is far lower than the original 15.8%.

In fact, Wang Xing's bottom line is 500 million in exchange for 18.8%, and Lu Yuan's plan is 4 percentage points lower than he expected.

Seeing that the other party was 'sincere', Wang Xing said nothing and printed out the agreement on the spot, and both parties signed the contract happily.

"Lu Yuan, you are so kind. '

What a start-up Internet company fears most is definitely lack of money.

But once you have money, you are also afraid of investors’ judgment. There are countless start-up companies that have been corrupted by investors.Investors like Lu Yuan who are generous with money and willing to sign a concerted action agreement are definitely the "dream investors" for start-up companies.

noon.

Boss Lu was very happy to finalize the cooperation, so he waved his hand and invited all the employees to have a dinner.

Seafood restaurant, let’s go!
Abalone, sea cucumber, Australian dragon, king crab are all on the table, and they are all hard dishes.

During the dinner, Wang Xing smiled and lamented that Lu Yuan, the investor, was putting too much pressure on him. If all dinner parties in the future were to follow this standard, he would bankrupt the company just by eating.

After having enough wine and food, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Today happened to be Saturday, so Wang Xing simply gave all employees a half-day off.

In the afternoon, those who are willing to sing karaoke will sing karaoke, and those who are willing to go home will go home.

The employees of Fanfou.com are basically young people, and most of them chose to sing karaoke. However, Lu Yuan did not participate in the afternoon activities.

He had to go to the company. Semir sent a team to sign the contract today.

Semir is in a hurry.

During the Spring Festival, it is not only the peak period for returning home, but also the peak period for consumption. Semir, which has more than 2000 stores, has exclusive stores in major, medium and small cities across the country.

Sign the endorsement contract before the Spring Festival, then quickly produce the materials and put them into stores across the country as soon as possible.

At the same time, endorsement ads must be launched as soon as possible.

If you act quickly enough, you can recoup the endorsement costs in just one Spring Festival.

of course.

By the way, you can also snipe Metersbonwe.

Semir and Metersbonwe are both local casual clothing brands. The founders of the two companies are not only fellow residents of Lucheng, but also direct competitors.

Metersbonwe is the leader in local casual wear, and Semir is the second.

In 03, Metersbonwe spent tens of millions to sign Jay Chou as an endorsement, and Semir followed suit and signed Xie Feng.

However, this endorsement did not bring any visible benefit improvement. The following year, Semir signed a contract with the Xiangjiang girl group TWINS.

But the effect is not satisfactory either.

Subsequently, Semir’s spokesperson plan was temporarily shelved.

Until this year, with the sudden rise of Lu Yuan, Semir picked up the spokesperson plan again.

As the second largest player in local casual wear, Semir is very anxious because the eldest Metersbonwe will go on the market this year.

Metersbonwe’s IPO has entered the queue.

If there are no accidents, it will definitely be listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange within this year.

Once Metersbonwe is successfully listed, it will inevitably usher in a period of rapid development. If Semir does not do something, the gap will only widen.

Although Semir has also launched an IPO plan, the three-year listing guidance period is an unavoidable hurdle.

Even if it goes on the market as scheduled, the time will have to be pushed to 10 or 11 years.

During the listing guidance period, Semir must attack everywhere to firmly hold the second position.

Because in addition to the boss Metersbonwe, Semir also has to face the encirclement and suppression of foreign brands such as Uniqlo, HM, and Zara.

Semir, who was attacked from both inside and outside, had to make changes.

Therefore, Semir will offer a high-priced endorsement of 1000 million a year.

In 03, Jay Chou endorsed Metersbonwe. Although the announced endorsement fee was 1000 million, the person who knows you best is often your opponent.

In fact, the endorsement fee back then was not that high. The real quote was 1000 million/two years, which was similar to M-Zone.

03:30 in the afternoon.

Lu Yuan signed his first clothing endorsement contract with Semir.

Endorsement period: two years.

Cost: 1000 million/year.

Lu Yuan had just signed on the front foot, and Semir paid 1000 million on the back foot.

The signature was signed and the payment was made on the same day. Semir's eagerness is evident.
