Entertainment, I just like making movies

"Dr. He, I remember that in 2009, Alibaba made its first strategic investment in UC."

"Last year, Alibaba made a second investment in UC. If, I mean, if Alibaba makes a third investment in UC this year, then at least 60% of UC's shares will fall into Alibaba's hands, right? ?”

Fang Ziheng did not lobby immediately, but asked He Xiaopeng a question about Ali.

"More than 60%, if UC accepts Alibaba's third investment this year, Alibaba will own 65% of UC's shares."

"Previously, Alibaba already owned 40% of UC's shares in two rounds of investment. This time I plan to raise 20%, and my team and I will only retain 15% of the shares."

He Xiaopeng shook his head and revealed the shares previously held by Ali.

Fang Ziheng's heart moved and he quickly calculated the direction of UC's shares.

In 2006, UC received angel round investment from Xiaomi Lei Jun.

Lei Jun used several million soft sister coins to obtain nearly 20% of the angel round shares of UC, which was just starting out.

In 2007, UC received another US$10 million in financing from Nokia Growth Partners and sold 10% of its shares.

In 2009 and 2011, it received capital injection from Alibaba twice and sold 40% of its shares.

After several rounds of financing, UC has developed rapidly, with a huge user base of 400 million and a valuation of US$1.2 billion.

In the last life, UC raised another 20% in 2013, and Alibaba completely controlled UC Browser.

So much so that He Xiaopeng had to sell all his remaining shares to Alibaba in 2014 to cash out a large amount of cash.

In this life, Alibaba took action in advance, wanting to first import UC traffic into Alibaba, and then integrate the entertainment resources brought by UC Browser to further establish a large entertainment business group.

After figuring everything out, Fang Ziheng had some worries in his mind.

He picked up the wine on the table and gave He Xiaopeng a glass, then refilled his own cup and said with a slight smile: "Director He, according to your statement, Ali is pressing harder and harder. Once Ali raises money successfully, you will lose control of UC." control!"

"Director He has been in shopping malls for many years, doesn't he still believe in the concept of 'independent operating rights' that Alibaba promised to you?"

"Of course I won't believe it."

He Xiaopeng shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the wine, clinked it with Fang Ziheng, and drank it all in one gulp.

From his standpoint, whether he sells his equity to Alibaba, or sells it to Tengxun or Baidu, he will lose control of UC.

He chose to meet with Fang Ziheng today to see if a miracle would happen.

There is no miracle, there is money to be made!

Fang Ziheng seemed to have figured out what He Xiaopeng was thinking, and sent the killer weapon directly without hiding it.

"Director He, if you sell your shares to Hengyu Media, you will get higher profits in the future. No matter you choose to leave or take UC operations public, Hengyu Media will fully support you!"

"Higher profits, what do you mean by this?" He Xiaopeng's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

Hengyu Media fully supports it, and he believes it.

But what about higher profits?

"Director He, Alibaba is a big user of traffic. Maybe you don't know how attractive UC's 400 million users are to Alibaba's Taobao business!"

"If you don't choose to cooperate with Ali this time and it takes a year and a half, do you think Ali will be anxious?"

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and summed up Alibaba's business objectives.

Up to now, Alibaba's main body has always been the Taobao platform. The biggest purpose of all projects acquired by Alibaba is to divert traffic to Taobao.

Potato video!

It sounds beautiful every day!

UC Browser!

These three major traffic users were all killed by Ali in this way.

After the diversion was completed, Alibaba turned these empty sub-projects into treasure and established a large entertainment business group.

This is why Ali dares to be so arrogant!

Alibaba’s major businesses do not operate independently.

Hang Chengma does not care about a single profit point.

As long as Taobao is around, Alibaba can make back any loss from Taobao's business.

After Alipay is promoted nationwide, Alibaba will become even larger, with two major money-making tools in hand, and all its businesses will revolve around these two major weapons.

If Hangcheng Ma hadn't been involved in finance and wanted to short banks, he might have continued to be awesome.

"Director Fang, are you saying that Alibaba acquired UC just to divert traffic to Taobao?"

He Xiaopeng was shocked, staring at Fang Ziheng in disbelief.

“Diversion is the biggest goal!”

Fang Ziheng nodded and raised two fingers: "The first is to divert traffic, integrate UC's customer resources, and integrate Taobao functions into UC Browser, so that customers can better use Taobao."

Second, Alibaba is preparing to integrate all of its pan-entertainment businesses and establish a big text strategy, and UC Browser is one of the important links!

“If Alibaba acquires UC Browser, it will only continue to suck UC’s blood, and it will never be able to counteract UC and help UC grow and develop.

But Hengyu Media is different. Hengyu has endless content resources. These high-quality contents are exactly what UC lacks.

This point has been proven by Sohu’s Sogou browser, and I believe Director He already understands it! "

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziheng took a sip of his wine, picked up his chopsticks to eat the food, and gave He Xiaopeng time to think about it.

He said everything that needed to be said, and the pros and cons were also laid out!

As long as He Xiaopeng is not stupid, he will make the right choice.

Not only is He Xiaopeng not stupid, but he is also very smart. A person who can be in charge of a company valued at US$1.2 billion is a mediocre person.

Soon, he realized it.

Selling shares to Ali at this time is indeed not the optimal solution.

Everything is available!

Only at the moment of greatest need, the other party can offer a surprising price!

Obviously, the next two years will be when Alibaba needs UC the most!

He Xiaopeng slowly vomited, stood up and stretched out his hand to Fang Ziheng, saying solemnly: "Director Fang, happy cooperation!"

"Okay, okay, Director He made the wisest decision!"

"Don't worry, Mr. He, with Hengyu Media's content addition, the UC shares in your hands can be worth at least 10 billion soft sister coins in two years at most!"

Fang Ziheng laughed loudly, gave He Xiaopeng a thumbs up, and gave He Xiaopeng a big compliment.

He didn't lie. In his last life, Alibaba launched the last acquisition of UC, offering a sky-high valuation of US$5 billion, and also wanted to acquire the remaining shares held by He Xiaopeng, Lei Jun and others.

A valuation of US$5 billion, equivalent to 38 billion soft sister coins!

You know, at that time, Ali already held nearly 70% of UC's shares, and offered a sky-high price regardless of the cost. It can be seen that UC had a fatal temptation for Ali.

He Xiaopeng and his team cashed out more than 5 billion in cash from 15% of the shares, making him a real rich man.

Subsequently, Fang Ziheng and He Xiaopeng finalized the details of the capital injection.

UC’s total valuation is US$1.2 billion!

Hengyu Media Group invested US$120 million in UC Browser and acquired 20% of its shares.

Hengyu Media will continue to make up for the remaining US$120 million with high-quality content until He Xiaopeng leaves UC.

In other words, whenever He Xiaopeng sells his remaining shares and leaves UC, Hengyu will stop delivering content.

If He Xiaopeng never leaves, Hengyu Media will continue to provide high-quality content to UC.

This is a contract with checks and balances on both sides!

He Xiaopeng was also worried that Fang Ziheng had deceived him, taking UC's shares at half the price and then selling them to Ali at a high price!

But his worries were unnecessary. The day he left UC, Fang Ziheng would leave without hesitation and sell all 20% of his shares to Alibaba.

As for how much it will cost, we’ll tell when the time comes. Anyway, it won’t be cheaper for Alibaba.

After settling everything, Fang Ziheng went to the Zhaoyang District Construction Bank branch.

It will cost 120 million U.S. dollars to invest in UC, which is 900 million soft sister coins. The company only has 600 million cash on its books to use.

The remaining money needs to be borrowed from a bank.

Two hours later, Fang Ziheng returned to Hengyu Media with some documents.

He used the proceeds from three movies, "Famous Catchers 2", "Partners in China" and "The Great Wall", as collateral to obtain a one-time loan of 800 million RMB.

The three movies are all projects that are expected to be big hits. After the boss of China Construction Bank saw Fang Ziheng take out the mortgage, he agreed to the loan without saying a word and even asked him if it was enough.

In the office.

Fang Ziheng locked the documents into the safe and lay down on the boss's chair looking slightly tired.

Dealing with professional elites is really energy-consuming, and it's not as practical as making a movie.

Lin Feifei came in after making wolfberry tea, her eyes were gentle, and she said softly: "Would you like to go home and rest first? Ion just called me to ask when you will finish your work!"

"Don't worry, there will be a company executive meeting later!" Fang Ziheng rubbed his cheeks and cheered up.

Lin Feifei put down the thermos cup, glanced at the closed office door, walked behind the boss's chair, and stretched out her hand to massage his head.

While gently squeezing it, she whispered, "You are born to work hard."

"I'm telling you, your body is not just yours. There are so many people pointing at you for food. Don't tire yourself out."

"Don't worry, sister, no matter how tired I am, I will definitely be able to feed you."

Fang Ziheng half-squinted to enjoy it, one hand wandered over Sister Lin's black stockings, and he started to talk about sex.

"You're like a dead man, you're still acting like a gangster after this!"

Sister Lin gave a coquettish sound and pinched his nose to show her dissatisfaction.

evening.

Fang Ziheng took Fang Rou back to the palace. Zeng Li, dressed in loose white casual clothes, came to the door to greet him with a smile.

Beauty Zeng was already four months pregnant. Due to her tall figure, she did not show her pregnancy very much.

Fang Ziheng held her in his arms and sat on the sofa. He rubbed his belly and listened for a while as usual, and chatted with the baby.

"Sister Li, Fang Rou's mother will come to the imperial capital in a while."

"Well, Xiaorou told me that Aunt Fang worked as a nanny in the county hospital for a period of time and is very familiar with all aspects of pregnant women's conditions."

Zeng Li snuggled into his lover's arms, nodded gently, and showed a happy smile.

Fang Ziheng specially invited people from his hometown to come over. This was a sign of loving her and cherishing her, which was very beneficial to her.

"How many days can you stay when you come back this time?"

""Exes 1" will premiere tomorrow and I will leave the day after tomorrow."

After filming "Chinese Partner", Zeng Li has been living in the palace, and Fang Rou comes over every day to keep him company.

Lin Feifei and Andy also came to see her from time to time. She was not lonely, but regretted that Fang Ziheng was too busy.

Every time he comes back, Fang Ziheng only stays for two or three days and then leaves!

She was uncomfortable with pregnancy and vomiting. When she lay alone in bed and couldn't sleep, she couldn't help but think of Fang Ziheng and when he would come back.

She was too embarrassed to say it, so she could only make video calls every night to relieve the pain of lovesickness through video.

"Brother, Sister Li, it's time to eat!"

At this time, Fang Rou poked her head out of the kitchen and invited the two of them to have dinner.

"coming."

Fang Ziheng pulled Zeng Li to his feet and said with a smile, "Let's see what delicious food Chef Fang made tonight."

"Don't laugh at Xiaorou all the time. Xiaorou's cooking skills have improved a lot during this time."

Zeng Li couldn't help but slapped him and asked him to pay attention to his words.

Just as the three of them were preparing to have dinner, a report about "Youku Video's unpaid debts, financial stress" appeared on Weibo's hot search.

“Excuse me, Youku is in financial crisis!”

"According to insiders, Youku previously purchased the film and television rights of Land Video, but the final payment was not paid on time and was delayed again and again. Insiders said: Youku's capital chain has long been broken, and it has been demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall."

“The number one video website in China broke out into financial crisis, and many shareholders sold Youku’s shares!”

"The Internet is in trouble again. Alibaba's video website and Youku platform's capital chain is broken, and the top management is helpless!"

“Capital donations absconded, Youku is in a big crisis!”

"There is news that Youku purchased film and television rights from Tudou Video and refused to pay the balance. Tudou Video plans to take Youku to court!"

One piece of news and one report are flooding the entire Internet.

Countless media and people seemed to smell the fishy smell, and they all came to the Weibo posts of Youku Video and Tudou Video to seek the truth.

Tudou Video had already received Fang Ziheng’s instructions and posted a statement on Weibo that was true and that the balance had not been received.

Later, Tudou Video attached a screenshot of the final payment deadline.

Speak with facts and admit generously that the last payment has not been received.

As for other topics, don’t talk about them at all!

Hengyu did not suffer any consequences from this sudden attack, and Tengxun and Baidu acted the same as Alibaba throughout the entire process.

Fang Ziheng was just secretly the sword-delivery person.

Even if Ali wants to regain his position, it is none of his business. Teng Xun and Baidu are Ali's opponents.

Ten p.m.

The news spread completely, and with the evidence of Tudou video, the news that Youku's capital chain was broken was spread by false rumors, and countless people believed it to be true.

Hang Chengma, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up from his bed by a phone call and came to the study with a gloomy face.

In the study room, Hang Chengma got angry rarely and cursed Gu Yongyi, the president of Youku Video, on the phone.

"Gu Yong, I will only say this once, I don't care what method you use, I want to see the matter resolved perfectly before 12 noon tomorrow."

"If the news reaches Wall Street and Nakedas, you, the president of Youku, will stop working!"

Snapped!

Hang Chengma hung up the phone angrily, and then sat down on the boss's chair.

A few seconds later.

His expression became relaxed again, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked at the traditional Chinese-style fan enshrined in the center of the study and fell into thought.

This round fan is magnificent, possessing both the gentle and graceful ancient charm and the refined charm pursued by modern people.

In a trance, people can feel the artistic conception of "light and small fans fluttering at the fireflies".

This fan alone makes the decoration around the study eclipse.

"Who's doing this?"

Hangcheng Ma's face was calm and he sat still, tapping his knuckles on the Huanghuali desk in a leisurely manner.

Accompanied by a whisper, his plain face revealed an inexplicable murderous aura.

Amid the murderous aura, there was also a hint of doubt and confusion.

It is impossible for Tengxun and Baidu to agree on such a perfect agreement.

There must be a third party behind the two families!

Who is it?

At this time, Hang Chengma didn't know that UC Browser had been intercepted by Fang Ziheng.

If he knew, he would definitely be even more angry, and at the very least he would have to catch Alibaba's strategic investment department and criticize him severely.

If you don’t like these plots, Xiaodao will return to the movie tomorrow.

Well, please make a full reservation, please! ! !
