China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 48 Ye Ning
  After confirming the release date of "The Tuner", Chen Dong left China Film.

At the year-end meeting in 04, Chen Dong and a group of old employees such as Zhong Lifang agreed on the company's development plan for 2005.

According to this plan, the company will add artist economic business this year and improve the crew team, post-production team, and screenwriting and adaptation team.

"Director Chen, Mr. Zhong said that the company is still short of a batch of computers. This is the list I made with the late director. After reading it, Mr. Zhong asked me to bring it to you for your signature."

Chen Dong picked it up, glanced at it briefly, picked up his pen and signed his name. Just when he handed the document to his assistant, he suddenly had an idea and asked:

"Who are you going to purchase these computers from?"

"Go to Computer City."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll make a call and then..."

Chen Dong thought of Jingdong Liu, whom he met on the plane before. His mall focused on electronic products, including computers.

Of course, taking care of business is only secondary, his real purpose is to connect with each other emotionally.

In this way, when JD.com needs its first financing, it will be able to remember him.

Liu Edong has been a little worried recently... It's not that JD.com's business is not good. On the contrary, since JD.com switched to e-commerce, the daily orders are actually more than the previous seven or eight stores combined. Although it costs a lot of money to maintain the website, It also saves the appearance fee, but actually makes a lot of money.

The main reason for worry is that a company in the south called Alibaba has launched an online payment channel called Alipay. It has raised tens of millions of dollars in financing and has abundant funds. Now it has launched such an online payment channel. It’s a big killer, but it can’t rob the e-commerce market.

Jingdong Liu is ambitious and optimistic about the future prospects of e-commerce. Naturally, he is not satisfied with the small money he makes in front of him...

However, the "enemy" is coming fiercely. With JD.com's current size, it is purely a dream to get a share of the cake in the future. Only expansion can hope to get a share of the cake. Expansion requires money, a lot of money.

Where does the money come from?

Financing.

But financing is not that easy...

At this moment, the phone rang.

Liu Edong looked at the caller ID and was stunned. What a coincidence? !
  Isn’t this an investor who is optimistic about JD.com?

After Chen Dong expressed to Jingdong Liu on the phone that his company wanted to purchase a batch of computers, the other party personally delivered the computers to him on the same day.

The two made an appointment for dinner at a private restaurant, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the private room.

The next day, Chen Dong contacted the lawyer who had helped him apply for a business license before and helped him apply for a business license again. However, this time he applied for a company instead of an individual. The name was Dongfeng Angel Investment Company.

"When Dongfeng Angel's business license is applied for, we will make our first investment in JD.com. Well, if there is still a surplus, we can start stocking up on Tencent stocks, Moutai..."

Chen Dong was thinking about investment in the office when Zhong Lifang knocked on the door and walked in.

"Is something wrong?" He raised his head.

"Wanda's Ye Ning is here. I heard that you happen to be in the company and want to have a chat with you."

Chen Dong stood up, straightened his clothes, and asked casually: "What is the purpose?"

"It sounds like I want to invest in shares..."

"Oh? Didn't I tell the outside world that Dongcheng Pictures does not accept shares?"

"He is very wealthy, so he probably thinks Director Chen can't refuse the conditions he offers, haha."

Chen Dong also smiled and walked into the living room with Zhong Lifang.

"Director Chen, I am Ye Ning, the general manager of Wanda Film Company."

"Haha, Mr. Ye, welcome."

After the two were polite, they started to get straight to the point.

"I wonder what Mr. Ye's plan is for coming here?"

"Haha, Director Chen is quick to talk, so I won't give in. I wonder if Director Chen's Dongcheng Pictures will accept financing?"

"Sorry, Mr. Ye, the company currently has sufficient funds and does not need financing for the time being." "What about cooperation?"

Ye Ning had undoubtedly done some research before coming to the door, and knew that Chen Dong would not allow Wanda to directly invest in his Dongcheng Pictures, so he came prepared this time.

"Oh? What kind of cooperation method?" Chen Dong asked with interest.

"Wanda Film Company is willing to exchange shares with Director Chen's Dongcheng Pictures."

As soon as Ye Ning said these words, Chen Dong was really not calm anymore.

He even sat up straight and asked: "Does it include Wanda Cinema?"

The reason why Chen Dong asked this question was because he knew that Wanda Film Company was divided into two sections, one for movies and the other for theaters.

"It can be included or not included, it depends on Director Chen's choice?"

Of course it has to be included, otherwise Chen Dongcai wouldn’t have the slightest interest in cooperating with Wanda.

"Mr. Ye, please tell me, including the theater chain."

Ye Ning smiled faintly. He also knew that Wanda Film Company, which did not include Wanda Cinemas, did not like the young director in front of him at all, so he had no doubts about Chen Dong's choice.

"Our team has analyzed Director Chen's Dongcheng Pictures. The company's current market value is between 1 million and million, and Wanda is willing to take the highest value..."

Chen Dong listened to the data analysis for two minutes, and his head almost exploded. He still didn't see Ye Ning finish speaking, so he had to say: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I have to interrupt."

"Director Chen, tell me."

"I know that Mr. Ye must have done a detailed data analysis before coming here, but this is not a business negotiation, so I would like to ask Mr. Ye to directly tell me the exchange ratio of the shares of the two companies."

"1:4.9."

Chen Dong's eyes widened, "Mr. Ye, what you mean is that 1 percentage point of your company's shares can be exchanged for 4.9 percentage points of Dongcheng Pictures shares?"

Ye Ning nodded.

'Come on, see off the guests! '

Chen Dong admitted that Wanda Cinema was a piece of fat, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a big appetite.

I’m not afraid of eating too much.

"Mr. Ye, our temple is small, I think this cooperation is fine."

Ye Ning knew that the conditions he quoted were a bit high, but they were not unfounded. After all, the theater chain would not be able to make a profit in a short period of time, and Wanda Group would still need to spend a lot of money on it.

After listening to Ye Ning's explanation, Chen Dong replied patiently: "It is true that Wanda Cinema is burning money, but has my Dongcheng Pictures stagnated? Mr. Ye, your offer is not sincere. I even I can’t even arouse the interest in bargaining…”

Having said this, Chen Dong took a sip from the tea cup in front of him and conveyed the meaning of seeing off the guests.

"What are Director Chen's conditions?" Ye Ning pretended not to understand, but still wanted to fight for it, at least to feel Chen Dong's background.

"I only want the shares of Wanda Cinemas, and the exchange ratio is 1:1..."

"Haha, Director Chen, are you kidding me?" This time it was Ye Ning's turn to be speechless.

But Chen Dong is really not just talking nonsense.

"If I said that I think the appreciation rate of Dongcheng Pictures can catch up with the expansion rate of Wanda Cinemas, would you believe it, Mr. Ye?"

Of course Ye Ning didn't believe it.

But before he could speak, Chen Dong said again: "If Mr. Ye doesn't believe it, do you dare to sign a gambling agreement with me?"

To be honest, the fat meat of Wanda Cinema is very delicious.

Moreover, Ye Ning had already brought it to his lips, which had already aroused his greed, and he had to fight for it no matter what.

But you have to follow his rules.
