Back in 2010: I owned 100,000 Bitcoins

When they were happily chatting, Lu Pengfei asked Xu Zheng if he had ever considered filming a series of movies like "On the Road" by himself.

Of course this movie is about "囧"!

If he hadn't seen Xu Zheng, Lu Pengfei would not have remembered the money-spinner "Thailand".

You know, in its previous life, its box office revenue exceeded one billion!

And he also heard that Xu Zheng only took the director's money for this movie, and his good friend Huang Bo felt pain for him for a while!

So I wanted to inquire about Taijiao to see if there were any investment opportunities.

After hearing what Lu Pengfei said, Xu Zheng said helplessly.

"Don't mention it, why haven't you thought about it?"

“I wrote a script in September last year and planned to write, direct and star in it myself, but many investors turned down the offer.

They either think that I have never directed a movie and don’t want to invest, or they are thinking of buying the script and letting someone else direct it. So far, I still have no investment in the script! "

Lu Pengfei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked Xu Zheng what type of script it was.

Xu Zheng said a few simple sentences, and he knew that this was Tai囧's script.

He happily slapped the table and said, "Brother Xu, I voted for your script!"

Xu Zheng was stunned and said in disbelief, "What! You want to invest?"

Lu Pengfei nodded firmly, "Yes, I plan to invest in this script. If you have any conditions, just do it!"

After hearing this, Xu Zheng hesitated.

“Pengfei, investing in movies is not a simple matter.

There are too many things involved here. Whether it is distribution, production or film arrangement, it all depends on channels and connections. If you, an outsider, rush into this industry, you will probably lose everything. "

Seeing that Xu Zheng was not just thinking about being happy, but also thinking about persuading himself, Lu Pengfei became even more satisfied with Xu Zheng's character.

Lu Pengfei smiled and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. Although I am an outsider, I still know a lot about the distribution of movies. I will not be alone in this movie."

"Doing business means sharing the profits. I believe that Brother Xu must have his own connections and channels after being in the industry for so many years. If the movie is successful, in addition to the director's share, I will give Brother Xu an extra % of the profits behind the scenes. How about a split?”

Hearing this condition, Xu Zheng was moved.

He has found many investors before, and this is the best one at present.

To be honest, he had not considered profit sharing before.

When soliciting investment, they were only asked to direct and act themselves.

Only by building a reputation first and waiting for the next movie can you be eligible to ask for profit sharing.

He has enough confidence in the production and distribution of the movie. He has not been in the industry in vain for so many years, so this matter is not a problem for him.

"Before I agree, I need to confirm a few questions?"

Lu Pengfei made a please tell him expression.

"I want all the autonomy of the cast and filming of the crew, and you can't interfere in the filming!"

After hearing this, Lu Pengfei nodded and agreed without thinking.

Where can I find such a good thing as being able to do nothing and just wait to get paid!

"Okay, I promise you!" He said without hesitation.

Xu Zheng smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Looking at the two men shaking hands, Zhao Liying looked like she couldn't believe it.

"You just negotiated an investment so simply?"

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Lu Pengfei said with a smile, "After checking the eyes and meeting the right person, investing is so refreshing!"

Zhao Liying and Xu Zheng were speechless...

After Xu Zheng agreed to accept the investment, the two discussed the investment amount in detail.

Referring to the investment amount of "People on the Road" was only 800 million, and taking into account Thailand's need to go abroad for filming and other issues, the two finally set the investment amount at 2000 million for the time being, and will continue to increase it if necessary.

After discussing the details, Lu Pengfei signed an investment contract with Xu Zheng's film and television company in his own name the next day, accompanied by a lawyer.

After signing the contract, Lu Pengfei thought about arranging Zhao Min to check if there was a suitable film and television company in Beijing that could be acquired.

He plans to acquire a film and television company to prepare for Han Yingying's entry into the entertainment industry in the future.

He loves his own woman, and he doesn't want to see his wife groveling to please those directors or investors just to take on the movie!

Seeing Zhao Min staring at him and standing there motionless, he couldn't help but urge him.

"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"

Zhao Min said incomprehensively, "I noticed that you have been a little distracted recently! You are an investor in a film and television city and a movie, and now you want to acquire a film and television company. Let's not talk about whether you can make money. You only have this little wealth now." Is it enough for you to be so prodigal?”

Lu Pengfei said confidently, "You don't have to worry about this. I definitely have the money. Just follow my instructions!"

Zhao Min glanced at his mouth, turned around and went out.

In the afternoon, Zhao Min gave him a folder containing several film and television companies that she had selected as suitable for acquisition.

None of them are large in scale, and the largest one only costs 5000 million.

Lu Pengfei looked at the information and ordered Zhao Min to find a professional negotiation company to acquire one of the companies called Tianying Film and Television, which asked for 3500 million.

After Zhao Min left, Lu Pengfei called Chunqiu Investment and asked about Xu Haifeng's recent investment status.

After learning that all the funds had been invested in the market and were making profits, he gave up the idea of ​​withdrawing funds from the foreign exchange market.

However, Spring Venture Capital still had funds. After the last liquidation, Spring Capital transferred 1.4% of the profit, a total of US$ million, to Spring Venture Capital as PE.

After three months of investment, Spring Venture Capital still has US$ million in funds in its account.

In the past three months, Spring Venture Capital has invested in three projects: iQiyi, Juyoumei, and Youku.

Among them, iQiyi and Juyoumei invested US$2000 million and US$1500 million respectively in Series A financing, while Youku subscribed for US$6000 million in shares during the pre-IPO road show.

It's just that these million US dollars are really not enough for Lu Pengfei's investment plan.

He now needs at least million US dollars.

Lu Pengfei already had some ideas in mind about where to find money.

The next day, the Laba Festival.

Zhao Min followed him to Tengxun's office building, where they were greeted by a senior vice president of Tengxun.

Originally, Lu Pengfei was thinking of pledging YOU Xin's shares to the bank as a fundraising channel, but after asking a lawyer, he learned that the founder of the company could not pledge equity to the outside world within three years after the company was established.

However, shareholders of the same company are not restricted.

He had no choice but to call Lei Jun and Feng Bo to see if they were interested in doing this business.

Unfortunately, the funds Lu Pengfei needed were too large for them to afford.

Finally, he had to find the major shareholder Tengxun.

As soon as he heard that Lu Pengfei wanted to pledge his shares, Ma Huateng expressed great interest.
