Chapter 1348 Are You Afraid that I Will Catch You?

"BOSS, aren't you very optimistic about Oil Pipe? Are we going to continue to increase our holdings in Oil Pipe? Why have we suddenly reduced our holdings again?" Dom looked at Yang Dongxu in confusion.

“I’ve learned about the situation on the oil pipeline side. If it develops well, it is estimated that the second round of financing will begin in the second half of the year, and then it will be listed.

As it is currently very likely to become the largest video downloading and uploading website in the United States and even the world. A major shareholder in China will only add a lot of trouble, but will not be of much help, even if we are willing to pay. "Yang Dongxu shrugged helplessly.

If it's just financing, there's no problem, but if it goes public next. So as an emerging Internet company, when the market share reaches the largest in the world, it would be strange that the US government would not jump out to find trouble.

As long as he is still the major shareholder of YouTube, then even if nothing happens, he will find something to do for you. So after a simple conversion, Yang Dongxu found that spending money to increase his holdings now would make far less money than he would make after reducing his holdings and waiting for the oil pipeline to go public. In addition, the Kennedy family needs to be brought in to join the gang, so for the time being, a left-hand-for-right-hand routine will be used.

"Damn politicians, no, those damn consortiums." Dom couldn't help but curse.

As the largest music website in the United States and the CEO of a very credible online music ranking website. Because his boss is Chinese, Dom has experienced many unequal treatments. It was only in the past two years that the website had certain news and public opinion capabilities that all aspects became quieter.

In the past few years, those people from the Commerce Bureau and the Taxation Bureau, as well as some bank loan reviews and other things, those government workers almost moved their work places to Yiting Technology Company, and he was very annoyed by all kinds of inquiries every day. .

"Let's do this this time. We will dilute our shares through financing, try to ensure that the oil pipeline can be listed, and then we will earn back from the stock market. And we have a lot of shares. Even after two rounds of dilution, we still have a lot of shares.

So maybe before going public, in order to go public smoothly, we have to sell a wave of shares in advance. At that time, high prices were offered to shareholders who raised funds.

If they are unwilling to pay a high price to buy our shares, let them solve the government's prejudice against Chinese shareholders and successfully list the company. "

"That's right BOSS, just do it this way. If those people are not willing, we will delay the listing. Anyway, we invested 300,000 US dollars from the beginning, so it doesn't matter if we lose." Dom suddenly became happy.

He was really upset because he couldn't increase his holdings in this financing, which made him feel very unhappy. But before the listing, he thought that those shareholders who had invested a lot of money must be even more upset than himself. He instantly felt a lot more balanced.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Just keep an eye on me. I have to leave beforehand. You have to take good care of Kanei." Yang Dongxu warned.

"Don't worry, Boss, even if something happens to me, nothing will happen to Kanai." Dom assured him, patting his chest.

Yang Dongxu nodded, left Yiting Technology, and then met Jos in the Hilton Hotel.

"How's it going over there?"

"We have started to screen the movie scripts, and we have also found a few directors. Do you want to check them? After all, my old business is still records. Although I have been managing Heiner Investment these years.

But that is basically your choice. I just need to watch the investment and then manage the account review. Now I have to make a completely own movie, from screening scripts to finding actors and directors, to film project planning, promotion, release, etc. There are so many things. "Jos said helplessly.

Making your own blockbuster movie is a step that Heiner must take. Otherwise, after so many years in Hollywood, you always say that you have made money, but you don’t have a masterpiece. How can people recognize you as a film company? But these things suddenly fell on his hands, and Jos, who had never done any work in this area, was a little confused.

"Let me introduce you to someone. He should be very familiar with these things in Hollywood."

"who?"

"Bob Shea, president of the acquired New Line Cinema. Although this film is the company's first film, it does not necessarily have to be completely produced by itself. We are the leading party, and the copyright of this film belongs to us. Just fine.

Because we have never directed a Hollywood movie by ourselves, and we don’t plan to try out a small production for the first movie. Therefore, it is necessary to bring in a few experienced partners. Yang Dongxu said.

"Do we take the lead in joint venture filming?" Jos nodded: "This is a good idea. How much do you plan to invest in this movie?"

Although the script, director, and actors have not been finalized before they start to worry about the cost, Yang Dongxu obviously cannot stay in the United States for too long, so it is better to decide in advance the things that require him to make decisions.

"Probably between US$100 million and US$150 million,"

"The starting price is 100 million. After that, if the script is confirmed and the actors and directors have the best requirements, the amount can be increased as appropriate. So you need to choose a big script."

"What about movie types?" Joss continued to ask.

"Let's read the script. The script is ready to be received. As long as the script is good enough, any genre will do. I can say hello to Bob first. After confirming the script, I can go to him directly to talk.

By the way, I still know the great director Peter Jackson. You can ask him for advice on directing issues. Or if the script is suitable, you can ask him to direct it. "

"I'm afraid he won't have time." In Hollywood, big directors are busier than big stars, and directors have higher status than stars. It's not uncommon for many movie fans to go to the cinema for the director instead of the actors and stars in the United States.

"Let me ask for you first. Even if he doesn't have time, he is also a core member of the director circle. If you want to find a director and let him be the middleman, it will save a lot of trouble."

"Indeed, it's much more convenient for a director to introduce a director. When will you leave the United States?"

"I'll stay for a while. I need to sort out other investments here." Yang Dongxu said.

Since he came to the United States, he naturally needs to sort out and deal with all the things before leaving. Otherwise, if there is no emergency, he doesn't know when he will come to the United States next time.

"Do you have scripts for other variety shows? Although Haina has an advantage in variety shows, it can't always rely on its old capital, and now there are talent shows. Although our variety shows have a greater influence, various imitation variety shows have begun to flood."

The United States does have a good management of some copyrights, but it doesn't mean that there is no piracy. Even many tabloids and small TV stations deliberately pirate and ask you to sue them to gain publicity.

If you don't sue them, they will make money by pirating. If you sue them, they will use your traffic and make a profit. In short, it's disgusting. And it's easy to cause the audience to be overly tired of talent show variety shows.

"There are several scripts that are quite popular in Asia. I brought the translated videotapes. You can take the company people to watch them one by one. Find one that is more suitable for the market in the United States, and then make some local changes.

Or choose a few to try. Anyway, many TV series here are filmed and released at the same time. If the results are not good, the rest will not be filmed.

Variety shows can also be like this. Choose a few good scripts and shoot two or three episodes to see the market reaction and the room for change and improvement. If the market reaction is good, set the schedule. If the reaction is not good, try other ones."

"If this is the case, you can't use the company's resources to promote it directly. This will continuously consume the company's reputation and fans in variety shows.

You can choose some medium-sized TV stations to invest some promotional resources to try. In this way, you can sign a highly flexible contract. If it really becomes popular, you can also change to a large TV station." Qiao Si said.

"Just do whatever you want." Yang Dongxu said.

Knock knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Wu Sheng walked in. "Master, there's a guy named Jack at the front desk looking for you."

"Jack?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, and the image of a middle-aged man with a beard appeared in his mind.

"Make an appointment with him at the coffee shop downstairs, I'll go down in a while." Although he didn't know why Jack suddenly came to see him, since the other party already knew that he was living in Hilton and came to see him, it didn't matter.

"Then I'll leave first. Anyway, you won't leave the United States for the time being. I'll discuss anything with you." Joss didn't ask who Jack was curiously, and stood up to go back to the company.

"Well, call me first if you have anything to say. Although I'm in the United States, I may not be in Los Angeles. You should get in touch with Bieber more. Whether it's his identity as a congressman or the honorary mayor of Hollywood, it will be helpful to us." Yang Dongxu reminded.

"I know, but if possible, we should send someone to manage Haina Company, or recruit a CEO. I am familiar with the record industry, and I, an old man, don't want to learn all kinds of things when I am old." Jos said half-jokingly.

"I will have a meeting with Haina's senior management after I go back, and you should also pay attention to whether there are suitable candidates." Haina wants to go further, and the management must send a strong leader.

Originally, Jos was overused, after all, Jos' age is here. Who would have thought that he would be used for so many years, and Haina's development in Hollywood would be so bumpy.

Jos put on his hat and left the room, and his dress became a British-style old man. Yang Dongxu took another elevator to the cafe in the leisure area downstairs.

"It's really not easy to see you. Are you afraid that I will arrest you when you come to the United States?" Seeing Yang Dongxu walking towards him, Jack sat in his seat and didn't mean to get up, even though Yang Dongxu came in front of him and looked up at him.

"I'm very busy and don't have time to run around." Yang Dongxu smiled lightly and sat down calmly.

Jack's expression remained unchanged, and he stared at Yang Dongxu from head to toe, "It's hard to believe that you are so young and have so much wealth."

"We have met several times, so there is no need to waste time talking." After that, Yang Dongxu turned his head and said to the waiter: "Just give me a glass of water."

"Okay, I won't waste your time if you are so busy." Jack's expression remained unchanged, but the next sentence made Yang Dongxu frown: "I want all of your Google shares!"
