China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 204 Numb!

"Mr. Lin, I won't beat around the bush and tell you straightforwardly." Shen Nanpeng said after sitting down. The staff of Sequoia Capital also looked at Lin Gao, their eyes with scrutiny and judgment.

Lin Gao made a gesture to please speak.

"Mr. Lin, what are your plans for the future of the company, and where will the money I give you be spent?" Shen Nanpeng asked imposingly.

The decision-maker's answer determines Shen Nanpeng's investment amount. If Lin Gao looks far enough, they have one investment amount. If Lin Gao is short-sighted, it is another investment amount.

Capital money does not come by strong winds. Every penny invested must be spent on the tip of the knife.

"Cinema theaters, online ticketing software, film and television projects, and online video terminals." Lin Gao said clearly, "Forest Entertainment has a firm foothold in the upstream of the film and television industry chain. We work with Shanghai Theater School, Beijing Film Academy, We have maintained a good relationship with China Film and Television, and the quality of our film and television works has reached the top of the industry, and we have established a firm foothold in the upper reaches of the industry chain."

“While forestry entertainment maintains its upstream advantages, its focus must shift to the downstream of the industry chain, combining online and offline to cover the entire industry chain.”

"You are going to replace Huayi Brothers." There was a smile in Shen Nanpeng's eyes, and his eyes showed unhesitating appreciation and satisfaction.

Venture capital companies hold massive amounts of funds, but there are also times when they are helpless. When they are optimistic about a certain track, they must not only look at the company, but also the company's decision-makers.

Sober decision makers and industry dark horses are often incompatible.

Shen Nanpeng saw the potential of forestry entertainment. What surprised him even more was Lin Gao's clear understanding and obvious ambition. He immediately decided to increase the amount of investment. He saw huge returns waving to him!

The people from Sequoia Capital looked at Lin Gao in surprise. Lin Gao's ideas coincided with theirs, and the general direction was very clear.

In addition to making film and television works, does he also see the future of the industry?

"I didn't think about replacing anyone, I just followed my own path." Lin Gao denied.

Comparing Huayi Brothers to yourself is insulting yourself. As the big brother in the entertainment industry, has Huayi made any contribution? Does it promote the development of the industry? They got the money and only did one thing, which was to hype the concept and real estate.

"Okay, our Sequoia Capital will invest 100 million." Shen Nanpeng held out a finger.

Wei Lianglian picked up the tea cup and took a sip to relieve the dryness in his throat.

Omg!

She didn't even have 10 million, but now she could easily get 100 million. Wei Lianlian, who was originally satisfied with his condition, suddenly felt so poor.

Shen Nanpeng then uttered two words: "Dollars!"

"Ahem!" Wei Lian coughed violently, choking on Shen Nanpeng's two words.

She is indeed a poor person. God, please kill them. Does Brother Lin use "billion dollars" as the unit of chat now?

Wei Lianlian even suspected that he was dreaming.

"I can give you 18% of the shares." Lin Gao glared at Wei Lianlian and then said to Shen Nanpeng.

"This joke is not funny at all." Shen Nanpeng said seriously.

Sequoia Capital also looked at Lin Gao like a gangster. For 18% of the shares in exchange for million U.S. dollars, you could just rob a bank!

The two parties negotiated fiercely on the share quota, and finally settled on 23%.

Shen Nanpeng said with a bit of depression: "This share limit is too far from what I want. The final result should make me feel that it is worth the money."

Lin Gao said with a smile: "Yes."

Shen Nanpeng later reminded Lin Gao of the following: "The expansion of the downstream industry chain must be based on stable income from film and television works. The financial statements in the next few years must be beautiful, and the capital operation must be left to us."

Lin Gao nodded. The people from Sequoia Capital took the lead. Zhang Chaoyang praised Lin Gao: "The ideas are good, one after another, and he took out 100 million US dollars from Shen Nanpeng's pocket, which is amazing!"

Zhang Chaoyang didn't understand things in the entertainment industry. He only saw Lin Gao conquering the stingy venture capital.

"Ignore them for now. I now have a lot of money and want to be a venture capital company. Are you interested?" Lin Gao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Chaoyang.

He and Haiquan want to cooperate and build a fund. But halfway through, Shanghai Quan regretted it. Haiquan has no idle funds, and there are essential differences between funds and venture capital.

"How much money can you put out?" Zhang Chaoyang curled his lips and said, "Venture capital requires a large scale. If a company can't raise an ABC round, don't think nonsense."

"I can put out about 500 million, is that enough?" Lin Gao asked sheepishly. He had limited knowledge about venture capital. He added: "US dollars."

He plans to sell out Apple's stock. Recently, Apple's stock has risen to 770 US dollars per share, which is also the upper limit of Apple's stock. After the release of Apple next year, Apple's stock price will fall. If he sells it now, it can be regarded as chasing the fall and chasing the rise. Guaranteed profit and no loss.

"Do you have 500 million US dollars?" Zhang Chaoyang raised his voice.

Wei Lianlian, Guo Fan and Lin Yufen from Forestry Entertainment were all numb, and the night wind made their hearts feel cold due to poverty.

"You didn't?" Lin Gao looked at Zhang Chaoyang in shock.

"I..." Zhang Chaoyang suddenly realized that he still loves money. At this time, he wanted to reply, "I have it!"

It’s hard to have enough money when you need it!

"I don't care about money." Zhang Chaoyang said harshly.

"So, you didn't!" Lin Gao frowned, Zhang Chaoyang nodded bitterly, Lin Gao shook his head and said, "Why are you so poor?"

Lin Gao's memory of money stayed on the rich list in 2023. He did not realize that domestic Internet companies had not yet gone to the United States to ring the bell.

I should have gone with Shen Nanpeng, so I would not have been insulted like this... Zhang Chaoyang regretted it very much!

"U.S.$500 million can now be used as venture capital in China." Zhang Chaoyang chose to change the subject. He continued: "I can use U.S.$50 million to partner with you."

Lin Gao nodded and said yes.

After Zhang Chaoyang left, only the people from Linye Entertainment were left. Everyone looked at Lin Gao with complicated eyes. They couldn't accept that their usually cheerful boss was actually the top rich man in the country.

Everything that happened tonight was too shocking!

They had the illusion that they were not awake, and Lin Gao's next words made them even more excited.

"I brought everyone to Kyoto, and everyone is now part of the company." Lin Gao looked at everyone and said, "I won't hide it from everyone. The company will give 5% as equity incentive and distribute it to everyone."

“You can also pledge money and use the money to buy company stocks, it’s all up to your own will!”

The company's executives are required to be allocated shares, but the allocation is pitiful.

As for the subscription, Lin Gao's personal shares will definitely be diluted, so there is nothing wrong with giving it to company insiders first.

"Long live Mr. Lin!!!"
