After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

Pintuan's investment in Huaying Entertainment went smoothly, and after Lu Zhichuan got the agreement, Liu Shuran and Yue Qian also rushed over.

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

Afterwards, Huaying’s boss Xu Xuan took them around and talked about development issues.

"Mr. Liu, is the 3rd School Beauty Competition being held?"

"Yes, if the winner wants to enter the entertainment industry, he or she can sign a contract with Huaying."

"That's really great. Campus auditions have been quite popular in recent years. Many directors in the industry like to go to schools to look for actors."

Xu Xuan took a few steps forward on her high heels and said again: "By the way, Mr. Liu, does Mr. Gu have any instructions for Huaying's development direction?"

Liu Shuran pondered for a while and then spoke: "The boss said that everything should continue as usual, continue on the path of an idol trainee, and sign more beauties and handsome guys, preferably those with talents."

"clear."

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

Xu Xuan shook hands with Yue Qian: "I have seen it. After all, it is a very good film and television work."

Liu Shuran nodded: "The boss said that the track for youth commercial films has opened up. If Huaying's entertainment department has plans to invest in filming, they can try it in this field and give the company's artists some opportunities to show their faces."

"Ok."

"Yue Qian, show your work to Mr. Xu later."

Liu Shuran walked forward as he spoke, met Lu Zhichuan, and went back to the hotel together.

During this period, Lu Zhichuan looked at the shareholding agreement in his hand, his eyes still somewhat blank.

Huaying Entertainment is only slightly famous in the industry.

It has several leading actresses and some second-tier male actors. It has invested in and filmed 23 film and television dramas, but there are very few successful works.

Talent shows have become popular in recent years, and Huaying is also thinking about transformation.

Since 06, all they have signed are idol trainees who took the draft route.

The requirements for signing the contract are also very simple, that is, good appearance, all five tones, and the ability to sing and dance. As for acting skills, you can have them or not, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, when Douyin’s school beauties competition became more and more popular, they immediately took the initiative to find it and signed some of the school beauties.

This kind of company doesn't have many bright spots. I really don't know why the boss is interested.

But Liu Shuran said that the boss was very interested in the company when he came to China Entertainment last time for a casting meeting.

He even wandered around for a while, visited the practice room, the recording studio, and was finally caught while learning how actresses shoot shower gel commercials.

But Liu Shuran was actually at a loss. His boss's next move after entering the information industry was to invest in an entertainment company that had no industry relevance at all.

Like Lu Zhichuan, he also couldn't figure out how this company would help the ecological chain currently laid out by Gu Ming.

Douyin is a traffic pool for the younger generation and has a very powerful ability to attract traffic.

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

The group-building supply chain serves as the source of supply, which can continuously reduce costs for group-building and bind users more tightly. In addition, it also has huge profitability.

Tonight Toutiao controls public opinion channels and plays a promotional role in all products of Pin**.

Can an entertainment company?

While eating at the Caida cafeteria, Lu Zhichuan specifically asked Gu Ming if he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

But Gu Ming said he was not interested and said that this company was just for him to practice.

But as a former Alibaba investment department manager and a veteran investor, practicing is actually not necessary.

Neither of them could figure it out clearly, so they thought about it, but still couldn't figure out the underlying logic of investing in Huaying Entertainment.

But at this moment, Kou Jing called to inquire about the progress. After hearing their questions, he gave an answer that was an answer but not an answer.

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

"Group buying websites have just emerged in 09, and no one knows where the future will be, but we have already negotiated third-party payment with Alipay."

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

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

"The times are undergoing drastic changes."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhichuan looked at Liu Shuran.

Liu Shuran pondered for a while and then said: "Sister Kou Jing 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."

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

Gaode Maps and group-building are old friends. When the GIS service for group-building was launched, it almost killed many websites such as LaShou and Volkswagen.

But because of this incident, many investment institutions have focused on Gaode.

Therefore, compared with Huaying Entertainment, which has no one to compete with, Lu Zhichuan is under greater pressure.

Especially when Lao Lu knew that he was eyeing Ali, who was so tall that he also had his old club, he felt even more sweaty.

Everyone knows that Alibaba is a big company, and under the same investment conditions, there is not much chance of winning in a group fight.

In fact, Cheng Jun, who is so tall, has been struggling with this matter.

Choose Alibaba or join a group tour?

The terms of investment offered by the two companies were similar, but neither of them allowed Gao Da to accept the other's investment. It was clear that they wanted to compete with each other.

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

But Cheng Jun had different ideas.

In 10, Kou Jing, the executive officer of the group, came to Gao De and described the future for him as mentioned by Gu Ming.

After the incubation of the group buying war, the group buying database has been established very well. Which street and which store can be found in minutes.

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

So Cheng Jun has been wondering if he should follow Gu Ming, and the future will be brighter.

That's right, what Cheng Jun was thinking about was not going to Ali or joining a group. What he was thinking about was whether to follow Lao Ma or follow Gu Ming.

"Our cooperation with Pintuan has always been very good, and the number of users of Amap has been constantly rising."

"But Alibaba does not actually rely on the map business. We are also a relatively embarrassing presence in their ecological chain."

"Towards group-building, there may be a brighter future, but towards Alibaba, the future is still unknown."

Cheng Jun made his point clear at a high-level meeting, but was quickly met with opposition.

The one who prefers Alibaba is Zhou Qing, the veteran of the company: "The group building has just started, and I am not yet stable. If I choose them, it would be a bit of a gamble."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou is right. With your back against a big tree, you can... enjoy the shade better."

"I think Tuan Tuan and Alibaba are not comparable at all. Why should you hesitate? Of course I choose Alibaba!"

"There are rumors that even the headquarters building of the group was borrowed from the government..."

While everyone was talking about it, Lu Zhichuan came to Gaode and was invited into the high-level conference room by Cheng Jun's secretary.

When he entered, the debate inside had not stopped. There were loud calls to accept Alibaba's investment, and he heard it.

The situation is quite unfavorable for group play.

But Lu Zhichuan did not panic and sat down calmly. With just one sentence, many veterans present who wanted to accept Alibaba's investment were shaken in their thoughts in an instant.

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

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

"I have managed the investments of LaShou.com, UC Browser, and Wandoujia for Alibaba. They are all very good companies. Like Gao De, they are all very good."

"..."

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

Everyone is hesitating about which company to follow has a better future, but they have overlooked one thing, and that is a real case.

Alibaba bet on LaShou.com, which was the No. 1 group buying company at the time. In the end, it was brutally beaten by group buying, and now it is about to close its site.

UC Browser became famous some time ago, but it was soon beaten by Toutiao. Its current user ranking has dropped to third place. I heard that it is stepping up its self-media model of copying Toutiao.

After thinking about this clearly, they felt a little confused.

Seeing that no one spoke in the conference room, Lu Zhichuan took a deep breath.

On the way to Gaode, he was still thinking about a breakthrough in the negotiation, and then he received a text message from Gu Ming.

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

When he saw the reactions of the people in front of him, Lu Zhichuan quickly understood why Gu Ming wanted to bring him into the team in the first place.

This is to make every company targeted by the group think clearly with whom it has a better future.

Damn it, the boss is such a dog, I was taken advantage of!

In fact, Pintuan, as a new small giant on the Internet, really cannot compare with Alibaba.

The development paths of the two companies overlap in many places, so it is not surprising that they will encounter difficulties in layout, but the current team-up obviously has no chance of winning.

There's no way around it, he's just famous.

But Gu Ming poached Lu Zhichuan...

And what Lu Zhichuan represents are Alibaba’s failed investments...

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

Because holding hands is really miserable.

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

Under such circumstances, no matter how strong Alibaba's family foundation is, investors will probably be worried about the future.
