Chapter 931: Bona Welcomes a New Chapter (Part )
remember.

Of course I have to record it.

Yu Dong smiled awkwardly and said, I’m here to learn from others.

But in fact, what Xiangyang wanted to say was very simple, that is, don’t be too arrogant, especially to use Huayi as a negative example.

Movies are, of course, a business.

Today's policy support for the cultural industry has greatly increased its revenue compared to the past.

But look closely.

The profit points covered by the industrial chain, such as the regularization of online and offline copyrights and the revenue generated by movie-related peripherals, should have been the business that the film companies obtained.

and so.

It is a bit blind to celebrate Bona's excellent revenue performance last year.

Don’t forget that after the group acquisition of B-League last year, Bona earned a lot of money from the one-time online audio-visual copyrights.

Moreover, Yu Dong has always been bold in film investment because Bona has always been suppressed by Huayi.

Since the failure of the attempt to release "Assembly" in 2007, Lao Yu's successive large-scale investments have made Bona a leader in the domestic industry, but the price paid is that part of Bona's shares have been transferred to VC investment companies.

The reputations of the two venture capital funds, Sequoia Capital China and Sustainability Asia, are certainly good.

But everyone who understands capital understands this thing.

"Mr. Xiang, what you mean is that I should take this opportunity to buy back the transferred shares?" Yu Dong looked at Xiang Yang a little confused.

He didn't expect Xiangyang to bring up the issue right away.

Rather than a consensus reached within the industry.

Currently, distribution is a hot topic in the domestic film industry.

It is also the one most favored by capital.

"Unless they can support you to continue to make a difference in the cinema industry, they will only become a drag on Bona's future development." Xiang Yang nodded.

Yes, of course we have to buy back the shares.

In his eyes, the funds that can be obtained from the sharp rise in stock prices are acceptable even if some premium is paid.

Because only in this way can we ensure that Bona’s future development will not be subject to too much internal interference.

In the future, only two things are most important to Bona Film Group.

One is the return to the A-share market, and the other is the construction of cinema chains.

With the help of Bilibili and ticketing websites online, Bona can focus more on its core business.

After all, Bona's strength lies in film production.

It is different from Light Media.

When it comes to the cultural industry, it is a bit of a pipe dream to expect to be treated fairly by American capital.

Rather than staying on Nasdaq for the sake of reputation.

It is better to return to the A-share market or Hong Kong Island to obtain more practical returns.

This money is not taken for free, it would be great to use it to develop cinema chains.

This view left Yu Dong silent.

He thought to himself, "There is truth in what he said, but aren't you still here?"

This time, the surge in Bona's stock price was due to...
"Mr. Xiang, I will insist on increasing investment in cinemas from the beginning to the end." Although Yu Dong has his own ideas on the first question.

But when it comes to theaters, he didn't hesitate.

Today, Bona already has 8 self-operated cinema chains.

Next, he plans to take advantage of the huge amount of financing he has gained from the stock market to continue expanding Bona’s own cinema chain, mainly focusing on self-operated high-end boutique cinemas.

As for why they are optimistic about cinema chains rather than developing in other fields like Huayi, to put it bluntly, they are still influenced by Xiangyang.

He did not forget that he had discussed this topic when he first met Xiangyang.

With the advancement of the layout of the entire industrial chain over the past year or so, the downstream cinema business has limited profits even though it was established not long ago.

However, in the cooperation with Enlight Pictures, especially in the ticketing website, it has gained a lot of say.

By the same token, it also increases Bona's post-issuance investment advantages.

In fact, Yu Dong himself knew that Wang Changtian was not a fool. He was willing to give up profits and cooperate with him just for Xiangyang's sake.

Bona still has its own advantages.

"Well, since Mr. Yu knows it better than me, we should continue to invest in this area." Xiang Yang did not feel dissatisfied with Yu Dong for having his own ideas.

With Little John, he had already gone through all kinds of hardships.

Yu Dong has his own ideas, which is no big deal for him.

"How about this, Mr. Yu, since Bona has decided to increase its investment in domestic cinemas, I think you can find some time to sit down and have a chat with me."

Helping Yu Dong is also helping yourself.

To put it bluntly, Hermès Film Investment Company has also focused more on upstream industries.

Investing makes money quickly.

If a company really wants to promote the development of cinema chains, which is a capital-intensive industry in China, it will also need support given the huge amount of funds.

"Of course, I will contact Mr. Rang directly when I get back." Yu Dong was very happy to see that Xiang Yang did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead gave room for cooperation.

However, the content of the conversation between the two made Bi Shafer feel somewhat indignant for Xiangyang.

Bona Film Group's stock price soared, after all, thanks to the project of Hermès Film Investment Company.

In addition, it was the only investment channel in the overseas market, so the deal was made by chance.

As a result, Yu Dong was unmoved by his boss's sincere words despite his busy schedule. Instead, he focused on the development of the art theater chain of Hermès Film Investment Company.

Trying to form a strong bond with the business they are developing.

Too greedy.

Boss, why did you let him get on the plane?

Really are.

Wouldn't it be enough to just dump such a person on Little John?

"Damn? Who has provoked her again?" After getting on the plane, Xiang Yang noticed the change in Bi Shaffer's attitude and was confused.

Is it because I have to start being busy again after only two days of rest?
Realizing that women have a few unhappy days every month, Xiang Yang asked Yu Dong to find a place to sit down casually. Then Xiang Yang found an opportunity to come to Bi Shafer and said while watching her make coffee for him:
"If you're not feeling well, try to avoid cold foods and drink more hot water."

"."Bi Shaffer resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Liu Xixi told her what it meant to drink more hot water.

She was convinced.

"Then you can go back and rest for two more days." Xiangyang felt that he did not provoke this woman.

Ok.

Even this morning, Little John didn't mess with her.

"Boss, I think there are some things you can do or not. There's no need to waste your precious time on unimportant things."

Hearing that Xiangyang gave her a holiday, Bi Shafer thought about it and decided to say what was hidden in her heart.

Just consider it as an expression of gratitude.

"Ah, you're right." Xiang Yang subconsciously glanced inside the cabin and couldn't help but smile: "Then you're wrong. I'm still very concerned about the development of this company."

"???"

"Okay, I'll explain it to you when I find a suitable opportunity." Xiangyang smiled, picked up the ice bucket and put ice cubes into the cup while smiling:
"So that's what you're doing. I'm afraid you don't have any vacation time."

"."

Bi Shaffer was stunned.

Why?

She stared at Xiangyang with her big eyes, but before she could get angry, Bi Shafer quickly came up with the answer in her mind.

Xiangyang said he was paying close attention to the development of the company.

That means that he is interested in investing in this company, so he relies on support and close contact with the actual controller of the company to obtain first-hand information.

Is that the correct understanding?
Xiang Yang, who had a tacit understanding with Bi Shaffer, knew what she wanted to ask just by looking at her surprised expression, so he whispered:
"I don't have the spare money right now, and the time is not right yet, but there will be such a day."

Bona will eventually return for various reasons.

Xiangyang wants to speed up the process so that he can catch up with the bull market of the A-share market, gain a firm foothold and step on Huayi together with Light Media.

Investing in the process of privatization saves time and effort.

At the very least, it is much simpler than spending money to buy Bona Film Group’s Nasdaq shares now, and it is also safer.

Of course, this is only apparent.

There is another very important reason why he did this.

Yu Dong has limited wealth, and the shares he needs to sell during the privatization process account for a large proportion. He can use Bona's investment in returning to China to transfer a large part of his overseas assets to the country.

Avoid making money and spending it in Europe and America.

Otherwise, why would he care about this?

But I can't tell this to Bi Shafer.

"Mr. Yu, come and try the coffee I made." Xiangyang took two cups of coffee from the front desk of the cabin and came to where Yu Dong was sitting with a smile.

Yu Dong, who was still concentrating on admiring the luxurious interior layout of Xiangyang's private jet, was stunned.

"Oh, Mr. Xiang, this is really..."

"You're welcome, you should."

Xiang Yang smiled.
