"Mr. Chen, are you going to enter the entertainment industry? By the way, can I cooperate with you and invest some money in your company? "
The first person to call was Shi Xiao Tao, the most famous "30 billion director" in the country who had worked with Chen Jin many times.
The purpose of her call was to invest in Xing Hai Entertainment and seize this opportunity to get a share of the profits.
Chen Jin was quite surprised. "Xiao Tao, don't you have your own studio? Why did you think of investing in me? "
Tao Tao's studio was definitely the top film and television studio in the country at present. The studio had launched six movies, none of which had a box office of less than 3 billion. The total box office had exceeded more than 30 billion.
Therefore, Shi Xiao Tao was known as the "30 billion director." Obviously, this number would be refreshed and increased in the future. It could be said that her future was boundless.
Such a talented and capable director did not want to make her own studio bigger and stronger. Instead, she wanted to invest in others.
"Because your company has a better future."
Shi Xiao Tao rolled her eyes. Was there even a need to ask? Xing Hai Entertainment was backed by Xing Hai Technologies. It had the funds and the technology to earn the box office, video views, and TV ratings. It was as easy as taking something out of one's pocket. Even if they occasionally made a few bad movies, it would not hurt them too much. They had a strong ability to resist risks.
As for her studio, although it looked pretty good now, it still needed to pull in a lot of investments for movies that easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
This would inevitably lead to a large share of profits.
If she wanted to make more money, she had to pay more out of her own pocket, but she had to bear a huge risk.
Moreover, the risk of making a movie was something that even the big eight film companies in Hollywood, such as MGM and Warner Brothers, faced. If three or more big movies consecutively flopped at the box office, these film giants would face the risk of flopping as well.
Shi Xiao Tao was now the most successful director in Z country. She had a high net worth, but if she used her own money to make a blockbuster with a capital of 1 billion dollars, she would immediately become a pauper if the blockbuster flopped.
All it took was one big, bad movie to destroy all her previous successes.
Her ability to take risks was only 1.
It was entirely possible for a good director to make a bad film, and there were many works that were only good but not popular. Shi Xiaotao did not think that her luck was always good. Sooner or later, she would make a bad film … This made her not dare to bet everything on one throw.
However, there was a type of film company that could not only produce movies as they pleased, but also did not have to worry about box office failure. Even if they made three or five consecutive flops, they would not have to worry about the company going bankrupt.
This type of film company was backed by large international corporations and consortiums. They had extremely high risk-resistance capabilities.
For example, Marvel Pictures and 20th Century Fox were backed by the Disney Group.
Sony Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are behind the Sony Group.
Time Media was behind Warner Pictures.
Without the support of international corporations, an independent film and television production company could easily fall into a huge crisis because of one or two box office losses.
Obviously, Xing Hai Technologies, with an annual revenue of more than a trillion, was undoubtedly a "mega enterprise."
With such a big company backing them up, Xing Hai Entertainment would probably not go bankrupt even if it produced 100 bad movies in a row.
His ability to withstand risks was extremely high.
Of course, Shi Xiao Tao wanted to invest in such a company.
Chen Jin nodded. He immediately understood Shi Xiao Tao's considerations. Her meaning could be summed up in three words: ride on his coattails.
"Alright, Xiao Tao, you can invest in my Xing Hai Entertainment. How much do you intend to invest?"
"You agree, that's great!"
Shi Xiao Tao was overjoyed. She thought for a while and asked tentatively, "I'm willing to invest one billion and get one-third of the shares. Is that okay?"
"One billion?"
Chen Jin's eyes widened. "You're actually so rich?"
Shi Xiao Tao's family background could not be said to be very good. In order to raise funds for the filming of "Wa-wah 1," she almost had to mortgage her house and bet everything on it. The total assets of her family did not exceed 100 million.
But only three or four years had passed, and she could easily come up with one billion. Was this cash?
"No, this is not considered very rich. I've already taken out all my liquid funds. Fortunately, the production of "Wa-wah 3" is almost completed. When this movie is released, my pockets should be a little more comfortable. "
Shi Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue. She had the image of a wealthy woman who was careful with her finances.
"Alright, you can invest one billion."
Chen Jin shook his head. He was convinced.
Then, he hung up the phone.
But less than five minutes later, the phone rang again.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was his aunt, He Jia.
He swiped up to answer the call and immediately heard a gentle voice. "Little Jin, I heard that you're planning to open an entertainment company. This is good news …"
Unsurprisingly, his aunt, He Jia, also wanted to invest in Xing Hai Entertainment and get a share of the profits.
He listened to his aunt's incessant chatter.
Chen Jin covered his forehead with his hand.
He felt helpless.
He really felt very helpless.
He could not help but ask, "Aunt, the assets that you've left with me have already exceeded seven billion. You won't be able to use it all even if you live for ten lifetimes. Why do you want to earn so much money? What's the point of earning so much money? "
He asked a question of the soul. Of course, he had asked himself this question before. His answer was to let more people live a happy life. So, he felt that he could pursue more wealth.
But what about his aunt, He Jia?
She had so much wealth. Other than bringing happiness and satisfaction to herself, did she bring happiness and benefits to others?
Obviously, not much.
He Jia was also stunned by his question. She could not give a good answer for a while. After holding it in for a while, she said,
"Silly boy, I'm doing this to help you. If your company does well and grows, I'll also benefit. If you encounter any difficulties and have a cash flow problem, this money can also be given to you for emergencies. You're a capable person. I don't have much, so I'll leave the money to you. Isn't the purpose of my money the same as yours? Why are you asking me such a question? "
Huh?
Chen Jin was stunned. He was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
"Okay, aunt, how much do you want to invest?"
"One billion."
"Pfft … Okay!"
He hung up the phone with his aunt.
Not long after, his second uncle also called. He said that he had decided to sell the film and television department of his company. Then, including the previous investment, he would invest all of it into Xing Hai Entertainment. He must realize his dream of participating in the production of first-class film and television works!
"Okay!"
At this time, Xing Hai Technologies no longer needed to pay for the three billion registered capital.
But this was not the end.
Like a pack of hyenas smelling the scent of prey, he received calls from Little Ze, Brother Lei, and many other big shots one after another. All of them had one purpose: to invest in Xing Hai Entertainment.
Chen Jin could not refuse them. He had the title of "King of Monopolies" in the investment circle. He did not allow others to dip their fingers in his Xing Hai Technologies. However, he allowed others to invest in the non-key subsidiaries of Xing Hai Technologies. Xing Hai Entertainment was equivalent to a new investment channel. The vast number of investors naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.
Hence, after a short while, he attracted 5.5 billion in investments.
The last call was from Yuan Li. Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It was over. The annoying harassing calls were finally gone.
However, he heard Yuan Li say, "My dear, I heard that you've started a new company. Can I invest some money in it?"
Chen Jin's head was about to explode. "Why are you like this too? Can't you keep the money for yourself? What's the point of going back and forth like this? "
Yuan Li pouted and said, "I can't finish spending the money. I don't know much about investing. I lost more than one million in the stock market a few days ago. It's so heartbreaking. It's safer with you. It's best to invest in you."
This …
Chen Jin was speechless for a while. He asked, "How much are you going to invest?"
"500 million."
"Okay!"
The total investment had reached an astonishing figure of 9 billion.
Of course, Xing Hai Technologies also had to invest some money in it and hold a certain percentage of shares.
Chen Jin intended to round it up. The registered capital became 10 billion. Together with investments in technology, talents, hardware, and so on, the parent company, Xing Hai Technologies, would hold 20% of the shares.
The other shareholders would distribute the remaining 80% of the shares according to the proportion of investment.
An injection of 10 billion was no longer a small investment. It was a big move that would shake the entertainment circle.
Chen Jin shook his head. "Initially, I only intended to make a small move and not make a particularly big move. Now that I'm driven by the capital, I can only turn the entertainment circle upside down."
