Chapter 1360: The Origin of Shareholding
At this time, the origin Chinese website has been acquired by a company called Shengda Technology. The previous founders each retained a small share and received a sum of cash.
So now if you want to invest in this website, you need the consent of Shengda Technology.
Sun Lijie made a few phone calls and made an appointment with the boss of Shengda Technology.
...
Chen Daqiao, CEO of Shengda Technology, is sitting in the office at this time, preparing to welcome Sun Lijie, the president of Taihua Consulting. This is one of the big names in the Huaxia investment circle. I heard that he likes investing in network technology companies. Could it be that he wants to give them Shengda Technology Investment?
They raised the first round of financing not long ago, but it was invested quickly. After the second round of financing, they can wait until the initial investment is profitable, and the company will be on the right track. Perhaps within two years, the company will be able to go public.
A middle-aged man was brought into the office by his secretary. Chen Daqiao quickly walked out from behind the desk, and stretched out his hands from a distance: "Mr. Sun is here, I'm sorry to welcome you."
"I also don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I came to see Mr. Chen today, and I also want to chat with Mr. Chen about business."
Chen Daqiao was secretly delighted. As expected, Mr. Sun came to invest, so it was a hit and miss?
"President Sun wants to invest in our company?"
"That's right, or we have taken a fancy to a website under your company. If you are willing to part with it, we can buy it." Sun Lijie did not beat around the bush, and directly stated his purpose.
"Which website is it?"
Although Shengda Technology has not been established for a long time, it also has several websites. Including game agents, web novels and online services, etc.
"You bought the Yuandian Chinese website not long ago. We are very interested in this emerging industry."
Originally, Chen Daqiao thought that Sun Lijie was interested in game agents. After all, Taihua Holdings Group also owns Fengyu Games, and they are also one of the agents of Fengyu Games.
Or online services, they are at the forefront of China in this regard. But I never thought that what the other party was interested in turned out to be this online novel website!
"Mr. Sun, you also said that this is a website we just acquired, and we won't sell it immediately."
"I'll increase the price by 20%!"
Not long after I bought it,
You can earn 20% of the profit, which should be considered a very good investment. However, Chen Daqiao and his team are also very optimistic about this emerging industry, believing that it will form a revolution in Chinese novels.
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, we really can't sell this."
"Since that's the case, then we'll invest. Your online novel website, we'll take the controlling stake, or your Shengda Technology, we'll take the controlling stake." Sun Lijie immediately threw out the second plan.
"Mr. Sun, it is impossible for you to be the controlling shareholder of our company. We have other shareholders who may not agree. If Taihua Consulting just wants to participate in the shares, then everyone can talk about it."
Chen Daqiao will not sell the company, this is his business, the big deal is the second round of financing, he must hold the voting rights in his own hands.
"If we participate in the shares, our investment will not be too high." Sun Lijie said with a frown.
In fact, he just said that holding shares is for the purpose of lowering prices. If it is really possible to hold a holding, then a higher price is acceptable, but if it is just a shareholding, the price will naturally be lower, and even Sun Lijie is not prepared to pay a premium.
Now that the two sides have reached this consensus, it will be easier to continue the talks. One wanted to take a stake very much, and the other needed money very much. The negotiation went very smoothly.
On behalf of Taihua Consulting, Sun Lijie invested a sum of money in exchange for 33 per million shares of Yuandian Chinese.com, and also occupied a senior management seat.
To be honest, Sun Lijie doesn't understand this online novel website at all, and no one even under the Taihua Holding Group dares to say that he understands it. Maybe Hu Run and the others can understand a little bit. After all, Hu Run's work is also related to publishing, so it has nothing to do with it.
...
"Boss, origin Chinese website, we invested a sum of money and got one-third of the equity, is it enough?" Sun Lijie asked on the phone.
"It doesn't matter how much, but the adaptation rights I mentioned have priority, is it included?" Feng Yu asked with concern.
"Included, I put forward this condition, and they didn't object. It seems that there is no right to adapt online novels now, right?"
"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Don't forget, we still make games. In the future, the background stories of our games can be written by these online novel authors, which will increase the exposure of our games in disguise. In turn, their If the story is well written, why can't it be adapted into a game?" Feng Yu asked rhetorically.
Only then did Sun Lijie understand what Feng Yu's purpose was. However, he still felt that it seemed impossible to adapt a novel into a game, right? A novel is nothing more than a story, or a very long story. Adapting it into a movie or TV series is more reliable than adapting it into a game, right?
Like everyone else, Sun Lijie has basically never read online novels. I don't know how great the potential of online novels will be in the future. Moreover, it is not without precedent for a novel to be adapted into a game. Harry Potter already has a game.
There are also games adapted from comics, animations, games adapted from film and television, etc. Nothing is impossible.
Nowadays, there are no fairy tales or fantasy novels, and they mainly focus on cities. But the audience of online novels is diverse. There are no such categories now, but they can be guided.
Feng Yu believes that although the time is still relatively early and online novels are still in the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, it might be possible to make the Bronze Age come earlier.
For example, if someone writes a novel similar to The Legend of Sword and Fairy, it can be adapted into a similar online game of Xianxia. If someone wrote a novel similar to modern mercenaries, it could be adapted into a gun fighting adventure game. If someone writes a football game novel, it can be adapted into a football game.
There are many categories suitable for adaptation, mainly depends on whether the writing is attractive enough.
"Boss, tell me, which novels are suitable for adaptation now? In this regard, Fengyu Games has no experience at all."
Feng Yu thought for a while: "It's okay, I will screen it myself, and I will always find one suitable for adaptation. Moreover, there are some problems with the current charging model and payment model. We must think of ways to attract more readers. Without readers, No matter how well written it is."
When Sun Lijie heard that Feng Yu was going to come in person, he immediately became more confident in this online novel website. Mr. Feng personally made a move, so can he still lose money? Sure to make a fortune!
