Chapter 572 Investment Layout

Pintuan's investment in Huaying Entertainment went smoothly, and after Lv Zhichuan got the agreement, Dong Wenhao and Shi Miaomiao also rushed over.

The executives of the two companies shook hands enthusiastically and hugged each other, and the scene was very harmonious.

Afterwards, Huaying's boss Xu Xuan took them around for a tour and talked about development issues.

"Boss Dong, is the third campus beauty contest being held?"

"Yes, if the winners want to enter the entertainment industry in the future, they can sign with Huaying."

"That's great. Campus talent shows have been quite popular in recent years. Many directors in the circle like to look for actors in schools."

Xu Xuan walked forward a few steps in high heels and said, "By the way, Boss Dong, does Boss Jiang have any instructions for the development direction of Huaying?"

Dong Wenhao hesitated for a moment and said, "The boss said that everything will remain the same, continue along the path of idol trainees, sign more beautiful women and handsome men, preferably those with talents."

"I understand . "

"By the way, Miaomiao has a lot of copyrights to be developed, which are very popular in the student field. There was a movie called "Those Years" some time ago. I wonder if Mr. Xu has seen it?"

Xu Xuan shook hands with Shi Miaomiao: "I have seen it. After all, it is an excellent film and television work."

Dong Wenhao nodded: "The boss said that the track of youth commercial films has been opened. If Huaying's performing arts department has a plan to invest in it, it can try it in this field, so that the company's artists can have some opportunities to show their faces."

"Okay."

"Miaomiao, you will show the work to Mr. Xu later."

Dong Wenhao walked forward and met up with Lu Zhichuan, and returned to the hotel together.

During this period, Lu Zhichuan flipped through the shareholding agreement in his hand, and there was still some deep confusion in his eyes.

Huaying Entertainment can only be regarded as a little famous in the industry.

It has several leading actresses and several second- and third-tier male actors. It has invested in and filmed eight film and television dramas, but there are few works that can be shown.

In recent years, talent shows have been very popular, and Huaying is also thinking about transformation.

Since 2006, they have signed idol trainees who have gone through talent shows.

The signing requirements are also very simple, that is, good appearance, full five-tone, can sing and dance, as for acting skills, it can be there or not, it is harmless.

So, when Zhihu's school beauties and school hunks competition became more and more popular, they immediately took the initiative to find them and signed some of the school beauties and school hunks.

This kind of company does not have too many highlights, I really don't know why the boss is interested.

But Dong Wenhao said that the boss was very interested in this company when he came to Huayu to attend the casting meeting last time.

He even wandered around, visited the practice room and the recording studio, and was finally caught when he was learning how the actresses shot a shower gel advertisement.

But Dong Wenhao was actually very confused. The boss's next move after entering the information track was to invest in an entertainment company that had no industry relevance at all.

Like Lu Zhichuan, he couldn't figure out how this company would help Jiang Qin's current ecological chain.

Zhihu is a traffic pool for the younger generation, and its drainage ability is very strong.

Group buying is a sales platform and the most promising industry.

Group buying supply chain can continuously reduce the cost of group buying and bind users more tightly. In addition, it also has huge profitability.

Tonight's headlines control the public opinion channels and have a promotional effect on all products of the group buying system.

But entertainment companies?

When eating in the cafeteria of Linda University, Lu Zhichuan also specifically asked Jiang Qin if he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

But Jiang Qin said he was not interested and said that this company was for him to practice.

But as the former manager of Alibaba Investment Department and a senior investor, it is actually not necessary to practice.

Both of them couldn't figure it out, so they pondered all the way, but still couldn't get through the underlying logic of investing in Huaying Entertainment.

But at this time, Wei Lanlan called to ask about the progress. After hearing their questions, she gave an answer that was an answer but not an answer.

"You should know that the boss doesn't like to do things in order."

"Group buying websites had just started to emerge in 2009, and no one knew where the future would be, but we had already negotiated with Alipay about third-party payment."

"What was the situation with Alipay at that time? It couldn't get a payment license and couldn't operate independently. Everyone thought it would be a failed product."

"So, have you ever thought that maybe this company will be very useful in the future?"

"The times are changing dramatically."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhichuan looked at Dong Wenhao.

Dong Wenhao pondered for a long time and said, "Sister Lanlan used to be the boss's personal secretary. Apart from the boss's wife, she should be the person who knows the boss best. This may be the answer."

Lv Zhichuan nodded, put away the investment agreement, and took out another document, which was the information of the next target company, Gaode Map.

Gaode Map and Pintuan are old friends. When Pintuan's GIS service was launched, it almost killed a number of websites such as Lashou and Dazhong.

But because of this incident, many investment institutions have set their sights on Gaode.

Therefore, compared with Huaying Entertainment, which no one is competing for, Lu Zhichuan is under greater pressure.

Especially when Lao Lu knew that his old employer Ali was also eyeing Gaode, he felt a little sweaty.

Everyone knows that Alibaba is a big company. Under the same investment conditions, Pintuan does not have much chance of winning.

In fact, Cheng Jun of Gaode has been struggling with this issue.

Choose Alibaba or Pintuan?

The two companies offer similar conditions for investment, but neither company allows Gaode to accept the other's investment, which clearly shows that they want to fight each other.

Most of the company's voices hope to be integrated into Alibaba's ecological chain, because Alibaba is obviously more promising than Pintuan.

But Cheng Jun has different ideas.

In 2010, Pintuan's executive Wei Lanlan came to Gaode and described the future in Jiang Qin's words.

After the incubation of the group buying war, the Pintuan database has been built very well, and you can find which street and which store in minutes.

In just two years, many things that were originally thought to be "the future" are slowly beginning to be realized.

So Cheng Jun has been thinking, whether to follow Jiang Qin, the future will be brighter.

That's right, Cheng Jun is not considering going to Alibaba or Pintuan, he is considering whether to follow Lao Ma or Jiang Qin.

"Our cooperation with Pintuan has always been very good, and the number of users of AutoNavi Maps has been increasing."

"But Alibaba does not actually rely on the map business, and we are also an awkward existence in their ecosystem."

"Going to Pintuan, Gaode may have a broader sky, but going to Alibaba, the current future is still unknown."

Cheng Jun explained his views at the high-level meeting, but was soon opposed.

The company's veteran Zhou Qing was more inclined to Alibaba: "Pintuan has just started, and it is still unstable. If you choose them, it's a big gamble."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou is right. Only by leaning on a big tree can you... enjoy the shade better."

"I think Pintuan and Alibaba are not comparable at all. Is there any need to hesitate? Of course, choose Alibaba!"

"There is a rumor that Pintuan even borrowed the headquarters building from the government..."

Just when everyone was talking about it, Lv Zhichuan came to AutoNavi and was invited into the high-level meeting room by Cheng Jun's secretary.

When he went in, the debate inside had not stopped. There was a strong call for accepting Alibaba's investment, and he also heard it.

The situation is quite unfavorable for Pintuan.

But Lu Zhichuan did not panic, he sat down steadily, and with just one sentence, many veterans who wanted to accept Ali's investment were shaken in an instant.

"Hello everyone, I am the investment manager of Pintuan, Lu Zhichuan, and I used to be the investment manager of Ali."

"Everyone should know me, right? I am still very famous."

"I have presided over the investment of Lashou.com, UC Browser and Wandoujia for Ali. They are all very good companies. They are very good like Gaode."

"..."

After the voice fell, Zhou Qing looked at Cheng Jun, and Cheng Jun also looked at Zhou Qing.

Everyone was hesitating about which company to follow for the future, but they ignored one thing, that is, the real case.

Ali bet on Lashou.com, the group buying tycoon at the time, and was finally beaten by Pintuan. Now it is about to close the site.

UC Browser became famous some time ago, but was soon beaten by Jinye Toutiao. The current user ranking has dropped to third. It is said that it is trying to copy Toutiao's self-media model.

After thinking about this, they were a little dazed.

Seeing that no one was talking in the conference room, Lv Zhichuan took a deep breath.

On the way to Gaode, he was still thinking about the breakthrough of the negotiation, and then he received a text message from Jiang Qin.

It said, "Introduce Gaode to your investment project in Alibaba."

When he saw the reactions of the group of people in front of him, Lv Zhichuan quickly understood why Jiang Qin wanted to bring him into the team.

This is to make every company targeted by Pintuan think clearly about who has a better future with it.

Damn, the boss is a dog, I was used!

In fact, Pintuan, as a new Internet giant, really can't compare with Alibaba.

The development paths of the two companies overlap in many places, and it is not surprising that they will encounter layout, but Pintuan obviously has no chance of winning at present.

There is no way, they are just famous.

But Jiang Qin poached Lv Zhichuan...

And Lv Zhichuan represents those failed investments of Alibaba...

No matter who it is, when they hear the words "I am the former investment manager of Alibaba, I have invested in Lashou.com", they will probably tremble in their hearts.

Because Lashou.com is really miserable.

Especially some time ago, because of financial fraud and infringement, the boss of Lashou.com, Wu Bo, was about to become a deadbeat.

In this case, even if Alibaba has a strong financial foundation, investors will probably worry about the future.

(Please give me a monthly ticket, or2, please give me a little more strength, don't pity me.)
