In terms of film and television special effects production, Hollywood can really teach the world how to behave. The skills accumulated over hundreds of years have long formed a complete and powerful system, continuously producing a large number of high-end professionals.
In this regard, there are too many lessons that need to be made up in China. Although they have been catching up in recent years, the gap is already very big.
Therefore, if Chen Fei Media wants to build a useful special effects team, they can't keep their eyes on their own land, and must go out to learn the most advanced experience.
"If possible, I want to acquire a special effects production company in the United States …"
Lu Chen said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask Sister Mushi for more help. I don't know much about that side."
In the field of business, Li Mushi is the real expert. To acquire a company in the United States, asking her for help is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
Last time Happy Entertainment negotiated with QQ Games, if there was no team supported by Li Mushi, the final transaction price would not be so high.
Li Mushi was surprised: "Acquire a company in the United States? You're really ambitious. Isn't that a lot of money? "
Although she is a layman in the film and television industry, she also knows that film and television special effects production is very expensive. In the same way, the value of a special effects production company will never be low, let alone an American company.
Moreover, the acquisition of foreign companies also involves many problems, such as the most important talent. Most Americans may not be willing to go to China to work, so the company can't move to China and can only maintain the original state. The operating cost will definitely not be low, which is really troublesome and costly.
She judged from an outsider's point of view and questioned Lu Chen's ideas.
"No matter how much money you spend, you can earn it back …"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "My idea is to have a team in China, an independent studio in the United States, and then use it as a talent training base for long-term operation."
Sending people to professional schools for training in film and television special effects production is only a temporary measure. After all, there is a big gap between what they learn in school and the actual work, and there is a lot of difference in efficiency alone.
Lu Chen is focused on the future. He doesn't need to be eager for quick success and instant benefits, so acquiring a special effects production company is a very ideal choice. In addition to training talents, it can also meet his own special effects production needs. For example, high-difficulty special effects can be produced in the United States, and it can be easily digested internally.
On the other hand, the American team could also accept domestic business. With his current connections and status in the industry, it was really too easy for him to get some work. Not only would it be a one-sided expenditure, but it could also make money.
The biggest problem was actually the initial investment. Lu Chen definitely wouldn't be interested in those second-rate or third-rate small studios. The price he had to pay to acquire a powerful group would be very high.
Tens of millions of USD was a small amount of money, and one or two hundred million USD was nothing. Those famous special effects companies in the industry had a market value of more than a billion, and if they really wanted to acquire them, they would have to pay a premium!
Therefore, if Lu Chen wanted to achieve his goal, in addition to preparing enough money, he also had to understand the market, look for opportunities, and find the most cost-effective target.
"That's why you set your eyes on me? You want me to help you operate it? "
Li Mushi suddenly realized. She squinted at Lu Chen and said angrily, "Then I'm afraid the funds for the acquisition will have to be raised by selling shares of the online crowdfunding, right?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Sister Mushi."
Since he wanted to ask the other party for help, Lu Chen had no idea of hiding it from Li Mushi at all. At most, he would go to the United States to explore the road. It was impossible to stay there for a long time to look for opportunities – that was called putting the cart before the horse.
In addition, once the online crowdfunding was successfully listed on NASDAQ, he was ready to reduce his shares to about 5%, and the money from the sale of shares would be used to operate the acquisition.
Li Mushi stared and said, "You want me to work for you?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Sister Mushi, we have an agreement. If I sell shares, I will sell them to you first. Have you forgotten?"
Li Mushi was suddenly speechless.
If the online crowdfunding wanted to be listed on NASDAQ, it was necessary to re-divide the shares and transfer a large part of the benefits to the capital in the United States. The proportion of her personal shareholding would definitely be greatly reduced.
This was the rule of other people. If you want to enter other people's territory to make money, you can only be eliminated if you don't abide by the rules.
Therefore, if the online crowdfunding was successfully listed, the weight of Lu Chen's originally inconspicuous 10% founder's shares would increase a Big. If Lu Chen was optimistic about the future of the online crowdfunding, holding it in his hand was tantamount to holding a treasure.
Now that he was willing to sell part of his shares to Li Mushi, in fact, it was to support Li Mushi. Strictly speaking, it was at the cost of losing his long-term interests.
Of course, if the value of the online crowdfunding shares plummeted in the future, Lu Chen's action would be called solving the problem in advance.
But Li Mushi has confidence in herself, and even more confidence in the online crowdfunding. This novel Internet financing model will only become bigger and bigger in the future. Unless there are major problems in operation, the stock value will also become higher and higher.
So what's the big deal for Lu Chen to pay the price and ask her to help him acquire a company?
Although she knew that she wouldn't lose money and would still make money, seeing Lu Chen's confident look and everything was under his control, Li Mushi always felt frustrated and her teeth itched again.
Lu Chen was very vigilant. Seeing the eyes of the Li family's eldest daughter sweeping over him, he quickly retracted his hand and coughed twice to remind the other party – don't go too far!
Li Mushi retracted her gaze and said, "Well, I'll help you keep an eye on it in the United States, but it's better to let my Junior Sister Wharton do it. She's more talented in business than me. You can sit down and talk with her then."
Lu Chen knew when to stop: "Thank you, Sister Mushi. I'll go first."
Although he didn't know what kind of immortal Li Mushi's Junior Sister Wharton was, since even the eldest daughter of the Li family admired her, he believed that she must be a great person, so there was no problem.
Seeing Lu Chen get up, Li Mushi frowned: "Why are you in such a hurry? Since you're here, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Call Mubai over too."
Lu Chen clasped his fist: "Sister Mushi, I'm really sorry. I have an appointment with Fei 'er tonight."
Li Mushi snorted: "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already so tightly controlled by your daughter-in-law? You're really good. "
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Mushi didn't like his expression. She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
