Chapter 790 Different

However, filming a TV series is a systematic project, and Fan Wubing is not arrogant enough to take over the entire process. He only plays the role of outlining and guiding the overall situation. The actual operation still has to rely on Xia Donghai and others to handle it for him.

After more than a week of fiddling with this, it is now the end of August. Basically, everyone has reached a consensus on the script, a director has been found, and the characters in the play are basically in place.

In order to cooperate with this event, Xia Donghai not only went to Hong Kong to resolve the copyright issue with Master Huang, but also held a voting event for some characters of "Looking for Qin" on Huafeng.com. As a result, everyone's participation rate was quite high. Before filming, there was a little hype.

Although it has just entered the process of selecting characters and selecting shooting locations, although the Hengdian Film and Television City is now relatively complete and the Taihu Water Film and Television Base has been completed long ago, in order to more accurately show the style of the Pre-Qin and Warring States Period, Xia Donghai also Consider traveling to the north to shoot some scenes on location.

All in all, to show the historical style and restore the grand battle scenes, not only the investment will increase a lot, but the number of extras required is also staggering. Fortunately, Fan Wubing has a good relationship with the military, so he has no worries in this regard. After all, the battle The scenes are the same in ancient and modern times. They all emphasize uniformity and strict orders. The effects achieved by using the army and using ordinary people's actors are completely different.

But not long after, Xia Donghai complained to Fan Wubing, "It's hard to find twin sisters!"

"This—" Fan Wubing scratched his head and said, "This is a bit troublesome."

It seems that it is not easy to find sisters in the play. Fan Wubing thought for a moment that his bodyguards Ding Bing and Ding Xue could certainly be qualified for this role, but because the previous experiences of these two characters were not very glorious, I guess they would not be interested. It seems that we still have to find another talent.

The two people discussed it and came to no conclusion.

However, there are only ten days left in the countdown for Fan Wubing and Shen Ying's wedding. At this time, all preparations are in progress. Not only are many subordinates involved, but even his brother Fan Kang is also on the way. Come back to help Fan Wubing.

When the two brothers met, Fan Kang couldn't hold back the joy on his face, not only because his brother was about to get married, but also because Sina, in which he had a stake, was successfully listed on the Nasdaq market.

Due to the participation of the two brothers Fan Wubing, Sina was listed much earlier than before. This was a critical moment for the Nasdaq market to rise. As one of the few large portals in mainland China, Sina The listing of .com has attracted widespread attention from international investors. The number of common shares has reached 20 million, and the price is 18 US dollars. Based on this calculation, the financing amount has exceeded 360 million US dollars.

The stock price on the day it was listed went up to about 35 US dollars. It continued to rise the next day, and reached 45 US dollars within a week. This not only made Sina's shareholding managers very excited and celebrated, This also makes Fan Kang, who controls about 30% of the shares, very happy.

Sina's equity is relatively dispersed. Except for Fan Kang, who has better opportunities and controls 30% of the shares, Stone Company controls less than 10% of the shares. Only two of the top ten institutional investors have a shareholding ratio of more than 5%. Among the top ten mutual fund investors, only the first one holds more than 5% of the shares, and ten institutional investors and ten mutual funds collectively hold 30% of the shares.

If calculated based on the current market value of Sina's stock, the value of the shares held by Fan Kang has exceeded one billion US dollars. Of course, these are still non-circulating shares and cannot be sold on the market for the time being. Fan Kang himself has no intention of selling.

After the two brothers met, Fan Kang talked about this issue.

"If there is a suitable buyer, it is better to transfer and cash out." Fan Wubing suggested to Fan Kang.

"There shouldn't be any problem with long-term holding." Fan Kang is more confident in Sina. Recently, he has been more enthusiastic about this aspect and feels that the domestic Internet industry has great potential and a bright future.

Sina's current main businesses are Sina.com, which provides online news and content services, Sina Wireless, which provides wireless value-added services, Sina Hotline, which provides community and game services, Sina Enterprise Services, which provides search and enterprise services, and online shopping and online services. Sina e-commerce of travel and hotel reservation services provides users with regional portals, wireless value-added services, search engines and directory indexes, interest classification and community building channels, free and paid mailboxes, online games, virtual ISPs, and classified information. , fee-based services, e-commerce and enterprise electronic solutions, etc.

Fan Kang believes that these businesses are all new businesses that are developing rapidly and have great prospects. In time, they may not be able to support Sina's development into a large company with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars like Yahoo or Amazon. By then, his The investment will probably increase dozens of times in value based on the current value, exceeding tens of billions of dollars.

But Fan Wubing obviously doesn't think so. Although it is not yet certain whether Sina's stock price will fall below one dollar when the Internet cold wave comes, as it did in history, the possibility of a sharp drop is still very high. Now if it can If you transfer this part of the equity, it will be a very good short-term speculation for you. Even if you take it over later, you will still make money.

"The perfect combination of investment and speculation is the highest state of business life." Fan Wubing said to his brother Fan Kang.

Fan Kang replied, "But most people cannot do this. Once investment and speculation cannot be perfectly combined, the lives of investors and speculators will be a tragedy."

Fan Wubing nodded, "Of course, you can hold it in the long term, but if you speculate in the short term, the profit will be higher. What we engage in financial investment is to turn limited funds into unlimited possibilities. One penny costs Use it as one dollar. This is in line with the basic principles of investment. Since it is the money of American investors, why not make money from it? Don’t tell me that no one is interested in your equity. "

"Haha, someone did contact me and discussed taking over 30% of my stocks at a price of 25 US dollars per share, but I didn't think it was interesting, so I didn't agree." Fan Kang said to Fan Wubing, "Today another investment institution wanted to discuss this matter with me, but the price they gave was only a dollar higher than this."

Twenty-six dollars a share? ! Fan Wubing immediately calculated and found that the market value of the stocks in Fan Kang's hands could be sold for approximately US$1.6 billion! He immediately shouted to Fan Kang, "Then what are you thinking about? Promise them immediately! Sell it firmly!"

"Why?" Fan Kang was really surprised that Fan Wubing had such a firm attitude.

"It was prosperous and then in decline. Nasdaq is about to go downhill. Now is the time to take action. Don't you see how crazy the stock market is today?" Fan Wubing said to Fan Kang, "Now you are doing two things. One is One thing is to urge other portals to go public as soon as possible, and the other thing is to get rid of it after it is successfully listed. Time does not wait, so we have to get started quickly!”

"As for that? I think the situation is very good now -" Fan Kang asked with some disbelief.

"Of course there won't be any big problems within the year, but if you want to sell so much money, it will take time, right?" Fan Wubing explained, "If others see that the risks are increasing, then everyone will choose to avoid it. It’s risky. Now you have to give others the impression that you are a short-term venture capital investor, so it will be easy to get rid of it.”

Fan Kang thought about it for a while and felt that what Fan Wubing said was very reasonable. Finally, he decided to contact the other party and try to negotiate better terms. It would also be good to sell for hundreds or tens of millions of dollars more. .

"As for your wedding car, I customized a special sports car with gold and diamonds on the outside. This will show your wealth and aura." Fan Kang changed the topic to Fan Wubing's wedding.

Fan Wubing immediately objected, "Please save it. In that case, how much gold will be knocked off while driving? It's strange that I don't feel bad when I sit on it. Isn't this adding to my heart?"

"You have to look different from others." Fan Kang said.

"Actually, I have an idea, but I need to contact the General Armament Department first to see if they can help." Fan Wubing thought of something and said to Fan Kang.

"What can they have? You won't drive a tank to welcome the bride, right?" Fan Kang said with a smile.

"Individual aircraft, isn't that thing more stylish?" Fan Wubing asked.

"Individual aircraft?" Fan Kang was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the kind of paramotor he saw in the movie. "It seems to be a good choice, but are you sure that thing can carry the weight of two people?"

Since it is a single-soldier aircraft, it is mainly designed to serve individuals, and the design power is definitely not able to support two people using one paramotor at the same time.

But Fan Wubing felt that this was not a big problem. If he contacted Minister Zhang at this time, there would be no problem at all in getting a high-power paramotor. After all, they also had some backup plans of action. It did not mean that they could only use Equipment that is set in stone.

Fan Wubing quickly dialed Minister Zhang, intending to talk to him about the matter, but Minister Zhang spoke first, "Oh, Wubing, I was planning to talk to you about something. You Come over to my place."

"Oh?" Fan Wubing felt very strange, but he didn't know what was going on.
