China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 620 Two Lobbyists
Zheng Zhihao and Li Mu are certainly no strangers, but they are not very familiar either.

Because this was mid-April this year, Wang Xing announced the independence of Maoyan Films through an internal letter and announced relevant personnel adjustments.

Zheng Zhihao became the new CEO of Maoyan, replacing Shen Li, the former Maoyan CEO who took a leave of absence due to illness.

Maoyan is China's leading Internet movie entertainment platform that integrates online ticket purchasing, user interaction, media content marketing, and film derivatives sales.

At the beginning of this year, it officially announced that it would achieve GMV of 2015 billion yuan in 156, many of which were contributed by Mengying Media.

After all, distribution in today’s Internet era is already different from what it used to be.

However, just after a while, Lu Yu knocked on the door again and came in.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang Qiang from Alibaba Pictures would like to make an appointment with you."

Lu Yu didn't understand why these people were already rushing to make appointments.

"Okay, got it."

Li Mu nodded. He was not too surprised by Zhang Qiang's invitation.

Maoyan has already taken action, how can this Taopiaopiao, which has just been renamed from Taobao Movies, sit still?

Although the industry is calm, it does not mean that the two online movie ticketing platforms are calm.

At this moment, Yu Dong took the lead in calling.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes when he saw the caller, "Good guy, this is coming one after another."

"Director Li!"

Yu Dong chuckled and asked, "Are you free to have a meal together?"

"Forget it about eating, I still have to go back to see my daughter." Li Mu didn't play casually, "Who do you represent?"

"Taopiaopiao!"

Yu Dong did not continue to hide it, "Director Li, you know, Alibaba Pictures is a shareholder of Bona, I have no choice."

Li Mu smiled. Not only did Yu Dong have no choice, but he didn't want to choose, because Bona and Alibaba Pictures now have common interests. Even if he wanted to side with Maoyan, he was afraid that they wouldn't agree.

What's more, now that Alibaba Group is at its peak, it is a good choice no matter how you look at it.

Yu Dong was also persuading:

"Director Li, we sincerely invite you to come to our place. With the participation of Mengying Media, Taopiaopiao will definitely be able to take the first place and occupy an absolute share.
Make an appointment for everyone to sit down and talk? "

"let me think again."

Li Mu did not reply to Yu Dong immediately. Although Taopiaopiao is currently preparing for Series A financing, in fact, it is naturally profitable to be willing to give shares at this time, and everyone in charge must also exchange resources.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Director Li."

Yu Dong didn't force it. Mengying Media was a hot commodity, and both platforms wanted to gain access to Mengying Media's resources.

But he is just a lobbyist, and only if Li Mu is interested and willing to sit down and negotiate terms can cooperation be possible.

After communicating with Li Mu, Yu Dong quickly dialed Zhang Qiang's phone number.

And Li Mu, who had just finished hanging up on Yu Dong, saw another caller ID.

"Director Li, I didn't bother you. I just made a call and it's shown as in call."

Wang Changtian's slightly cheerful voice sounded.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu just became a lobbyist for bargain hunting."

"The competition between these two companies is really fierce." Wang Changtian couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with emotion.

"They should be looking for you too, right?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Looking for it, but Director Li, I am working as a lobbyist for Maoyan today." Wang Changtian has already made his choice.

Li Mu was not surprised, because the cooperation between light and cat's eye was very frequent.

"Speaking of which, I still remember discussing with Director Li the issue of traditional distribution and current Internet ticketing. I didn't expect that traditional distribution was a complete failure in the end. Fortunately, I listened to you, Director Li."

Wang Changtian sighed for a while. At that time, Guangguang was promoting this industry as a great company, but due to the trend of the Internet, it was losing ground. Fortunately, it adjusted its strategy in time and delved deeply into the production side of the film industry.

"Director Li, now is your chance." Wang Changtian's eyes were shining at this moment, "Give it a try and dominate the cat's eye."

"Director Li, Taopiaopiao is backed by Alibaba Pictures and Alibaba. Outsiders like us have no chance to dominate, and it is impossible to give us so much equity, but Maoyan is different. Maoyan has not taken a side in BAT, and we will It will be the most important link in the upstream industry chain of Maoyan Films."

"Only tomorrow!" Li Mu said bluntly, "But Mr. Wang, our two families have to sign a unanimous agreement, otherwise if something unexpected happens one day, this dominance will be in danger."

"Of course."

Wang Changtian nodded. This is something to ensure the interests of both parties. Relationships are relationships, but this thing is not as reliable as a contract.

Li Mu nodded slightly. This was indeed an opportunity. Today, Taopiaopiao is backed by Alibaba, Weiying Era is backed by Tencent, and Nuomi Movie is backed by Baidu. It is impossible for the three companies to give him and Wang Changtian the opportunity to lead.

Only cat eyes can.

Wang Changtian is a little happy, because with the participation of Mengying Media, the Rays do not have to lose too much blood, and the two strong alliances may obtain more dominant equity.

Furthermore, deepening cooperation with Mengying Media will not hurt the company.

"Okay, then tomorrow!"

Wang Changtian's side is also categorical. Shanggui needs to be quick. Whether it is Wang Xing or Zheng Zhihao, even if something happens, it will be fine tomorrow.

The speed of Taopiaopiao and Maoyan also caused a lot of turmoil in the industry, and the Nuomi Movie and Weiying era also came to an end.

Similarly, Mengying Media also accepted the invitation, but Li Mu delayed it all, and the top priority was Maoyan.

At this time, there were movements in the industry such as Heying, Huace, Lianrui, Nanpai Panyu and other film companies.

A capital feast for ticketing platforms has begun.

On the second day, Li Mu deliberately wore casual clothes. There were many aspects that needed to be paid attention to during the negotiation, which were the key to the success of the negotiation.

Wearing something too formal will make you fall into the lower class. After all, it will make people feel that you are valued, which is not conducive to interest negotiations.

However, what Li Mu didn't expect was that during this negotiation, several people were so angry that they didn't act like the boss at all. Instead, they just listened to whoever yelled louder.

Maoyan culture.

The four of them were all drinking water after the quarrel.

At this time, Li Mu and Wang Changtian looked at each other and saw each other's joy.

Although the quarrel was fierce, it was because Mengying Media and Enlight Media both wanted more Maoyan shares.

At this time, Li Mu and Wang Changtian had already discussed holding more than 50% of the shares.

Wang Xing and Zheng Zhihao resolutely guarded the bottom line. "The 57.4% shareholding is too small for the two of us. It is simply not enough. Sankuai Technology will give up some more."

After Li Mu took a sip of tea, he started a new round of negotiations. Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xing interrupted.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, we have given up the leadership. Are you going to Taobao Piao and Weiying Era? Let alone 57%, 20% is as difficult as reaching the sky. I shouldn't need to say more about this. ”

Wang Xing still refused to give in.

"Yes, Mr. Li."

Zheng Zhihao also echoed and quickly helped his boss.

"With the industrial resources of Mengying Media and Enlight Media, there is absolutely no problem in supporting Maoyan to strengthen its upstream business deployment."

Wang Changtian was also anxious and quickly added.

Anyway, the bottom line is, we want more.

Everyone was arguing again and their faces were red.

"cash!"

Li Mu finally said calmly, "As long as Maoyan is willing to give us 65% of the shares, we will settle 52% of the shares in cash, and I guarantee that the funds will be in place within three days after the contract is confirmed."

"."

Wang Xing and Zheng Zhihao were both a little silent.

"What a big dog!"

The two of them were complaining crazily, but they were also very greedy.

You must know that this is a large amount of cash flow. They are currently short of resources and cash flow.

Nowadays, the Internet is too busy, and everyone is burning money. Whether it is Meituan-Dianping or Maoyan Movies, they are all burning money.

Maoyan is now valued at about 83 billion, and 52% of the shares are settled in cash, which is more than 43 billion. This will last for a long time.

"Forget it, we have already lost 57.4% anyway. The two parties have signed a unanimous agreement, so we can't take the initiative."

Wang Xing and Zheng Zhihao looked at each other, and finally Wang Xing spoke.

"Okay! 65% is 65%, happy cooperation!"

After hearing Wang Xing's words, everyone stood up and shook hands.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"From now on, everyone will be in the same boat."

"Mr. Wang, although your metaphor is appropriate, those who say this in movies and TV shows are not good people!"

"Hahaha, my fault, the metaphor is wrong, I will punish myself with three drinks later!"

"Then we'll remember it!"

"."

At the dinner party, several people exchanged glasses and had great fun, which was a good result for everyone.

For Wang Xing, Maoyan Movie is just a part of Meituan’s ecology and can bring traffic entrance to Meituan.

For Li Mu and Wang Changtian, this is an important strategic link for their film company. Having a controlling stake and not having a controlling stake are two different things.

Although Taopiaopiao is good, they have no say and it does not have a particularly big role for them.

"Why did you drink so much!"

In the evening, after Li Mu came back, Liu Yifei smelled the smell of alcohol in the hall, and quickly handed the little bun to her aunt, holding it first.

"Change your clothes first. Little Baozi will dislike you later."

Liu Yifei smiled and pushed Li Mu to the bedroom, "I'll make you a drink to sober up."

"Wait!"

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's exquisite figure, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and pulled her into his arms.

"what!"

Liu Yifei's small fist gently beat Li Mu's chest, as if it was tickling her.

"This dress is so beautiful."

The skirt is tied up in the middle, and the waist-to-hip ratio looks extremely attractive.

Li Mu took a sip of the fragrance on her hair and gently lifted up the satin of her skirt.

The quality of this fabric is really good, silky smooth.

"I have to watch out for you from now on, you big pervert, you act like this every time you're tipsy."

Liu Yifei's face was slightly red and she murmured in a low voice.

Just when the two were in deep love, Liu Yifei seemed to hear the cry of the little bun, getting closer and closer.

"Wait, did you hear anything?"

Liu Yifei suddenly pushed Li Mu.

"what sound?"

"Your daughter seems to be crying. Aunt Jin is probably coming to me with her arms in her arms. Didn't you hear your daughter crying?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but hit Li Mu.

"It can't be such a coincidence."

"Little Baozi has to eat before going to bed at night. I'm used to it." Just as Liu Yifei finished explaining, someone knocked on the door.

"Ms. Liu, Little Baozi seems to be hungry."

"I know, Aunt Jin, I'll be here right away. You go down first and wait for me."

Liu Yifei packed her clothes and couldn't help but look at Li Mu angrily while doing so.

The amorous look and brows in the corners of his eyes were unmistakable, and his big, watery eyes made Li Mu feel hot.

"Daughter, you are so hungry at the right time!"

Li Mu sighed inwardly and had to take a shower first.
