Chapter 239 New Era
"Maisui intends to spend 1 million to acquire Wanwei Studio, and has entered the final negotiation stage."

When people around the world saw this news, many people thought in their hearts: Why is the sky so dark, because there are groups of cows flying.

Even if they agree with Ding Ning's strength, they don't think that a small Wanwei studio is worth 1 million. If Maisui really wants to buy Wanwei for 1 million, then he must be out of his mind.

When Sun Xi saw this news, he was on vacation with his assistant Sun Chunhui in Qiongzhou. He almost laughed out loud: "This idiot thing, you know how to hype it every day, and you will die if you don't do it for a day?!"

He would indeed die, and the next day another piece of news came out: "The son of the former richest man wants to get involved in the entertainment industry, and it is rumored that he wants to buy a 40% stake in Wanwei for [-] million."

Damn, it’s not over yet. If money is not money, buy 1% of the equity for 40 million, and I’ll sell you 1 million, okay?

Didn't it just have something to do with Chen Linsen, moving him out to raise his status, really think everyone is out of their minds?
Those who reacted more violently were Chen Linsen's fans.

Husband, are you shopping again?
Many people took this news to seek confirmation from Chen Linsen. Chen Linsen replied: "The situation is true, but everything is still under negotiation."

As soon as these words came out, the media quickly moved forward. The search interest for the keyword "Wanwei Studio" has risen by a large margin compared to yesterday, occupying the top ten real-time search lists for two consecutive days.

Among the employees of Universal, not many people dare to make random comments like "bragging and not paying taxes", and more people just envy and hate in their hearts.

Because, along with the news that Chen Linsen intends to acquire Wanwei for 1 million yuan, there are also news that many investors are about to step down the threshold of Wanwei.

Even if they still don't think Wanwei is worth 1 million yuan, it is undeniable that Wanwei is a hot bun, and there are many people who want to eat it.

Originally, they had a chance at Universal, but they stabbed themselves to death.

It was confirmed from a friend that the news was indeed true. Chen Linsen's team was indeed investigating Wanwei in an all-round way, and the price was likely to be higher than what was revealed now. Li Sheng's heart trembled, and he sat down on the armchair. All hope is lost.

His initial valuation of Wanwei was also very high, which was about the same as the purchase price of wheat ears that broke out before, ranging from 7000 million to [-] million yuan, and it is difficult for Universal to come up with this price at present, otherwise, he would not think of using it first. The way to buy after suppression.

But 1 million only buys 40% of the shares, which is a bit exaggerated.

He was so exaggerated that he had already negotiated with several major financial backers and planned to spend about 1.5 million yuan to compete with Maisui, so he couldn't bring up the slightest thought of buying Wanwei.

Others have already used 1 million to buy 40% of Wanwei's equity, so if he wants to get 1.5 million, he wants to buy the entire Wanwei, isn't it just a dream?

Not surprisingly, he was out of the game, and there was no need to act in the prepared pleading guilty and bitter scenes, and all the calculations could only be rotten in the stomach.

At this moment, Li Sheng was extremely regretful.

If he had spent 1 million or more to acquire Wanwei from the very beginning, it might have been done, and there would be no such thing as Maisui or Chen Linsen.

But now, after rounds of exposure by the media, no matter whether it is Ding Ning or Wanwei, their worth is like a balloon, getting bigger and bigger, and it has inflated to an unimaginable level.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Originally, he wanted to use the army to step down Ding Ning's reputation and popularity, so that Ding Ning's value would be greatly reduced, so as to facilitate his acquisition plan. , but made Ding Ning even more popular, not irony.

It is not only his acquisition plan for Wanwei that is out of the game, but also his position as the chairman of Universal may not be guaranteed.

The conflict with Ding Ning came to the fore. In the past two days, I don’t know who was secretly gossiping with the global investors, making them put pressure on him. He had to promise that he would resolve the matter properly. But now, with Chen Linsen and others stepping in one by one, he has no chance to properly handle this matter.

Not surprisingly, at the next high-level meeting, someone will definitely make a proposal to remove him from the position of chairman.

Although it is unlikely that this proposal will be passed, he has already taken countermeasures and is 100% confident that his wife Sun Xinling will be promoted to the position of chairman. However, Sun Xinling's current general manager position may be handed over if she is not careful. Leave it to someone else.

In such a crucial position, if one person is missing, his future prospects will be even more uncertain.

With one careless move, everything is lost, the situation is precarious, and Li Sheng is devastated.

On November 11th, Ding Ning finally waited for Li Sheng's response: Li Sheng called him and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner to make an apology. A place that can eat tens of thousands of meals casually is beyond the reach of Michelin three-star restaurants.

After Yang Du heard the news, he let out a faint "huh".

In this "heh", there was his mockery of Li Sheng, but also his full sigh.

Although he thought from the very beginning that Wanwei would be the winner of this war, he never expected that the process would be so risk-free.

He originally thought that this would be a storm that could shake the entire Wanwei, but it turned out that after a swift and violent wave hit, it died powerlessly.

Li Sheng had no means of follow-up, but Wan Wei ushered in the bright sunshine when the clouds opened, the sun rose and the rain cleared.

Therefore, forging iron still needs to be hard.

Ding Ning is very tough, so hard that even if he is not an iron wall, many people will take the initiative to approach him and help him form the Jincheng Tangchi.

A Li Sheng is not enough to shake Ding Ning, he overestimated Li Sheng before, but also underestimated Ding Ning.

Ding Ning rejected Li Sheng's text message on the grounds of "busy, no time".

If an apology is useful, why do you need the police? The beam has already been settled. If you say an apology, then apologize. Sorry, I am not willing to accept it.

In the next few days, Ding Ning was mainly busy with two things, one was An Keqing's new album.

In view of the fact that Baishi helped him a lot this time, after discussing with An Keqing, Ding Ning added another song "Pirate" to the original three songs.

This song was written by Jay Chou to Jolin Tsai back then, and it was also one of the classic chorus songs of the two of them. As the main track of Jolin Tsai's new album at that time, when this song was released, it swept away for a while with its extremely avant-garde and stunning style.

In order to listen to this song, Ding Ning listened to a tape over and over again.

At that time, he admired Jay Chou so much that he even thought that he might possess some unknown black technology. Later he realized that this song was so sharp, not only because of Jay Chou's composition, but also because of the master arranger Hong Jingyao behind him.

The combination of the two, coupled with Chen Zhenchuan's extremely well-placed lyrics, can make this song so brilliant.

But no matter what, the composition has laid the foundation of the style of music. There is no Jay Chou in this world, and there is no Zhou style of music that has led the Chinese pop music scene for more than ten years. This song is placed in this world, and Ding Ning firmly believes that there will still be outstanding music. Performance.

He even felt that the performance of this song in this world might be better than his previous world.

Because people in this world are more accepting of new styles of music, relatively fewer people show exhausted and disgusted expressions when they hear weird new styles of music.

Another thing is to discuss with Huayou and Chen Linsen about their plan to invest in Wanwei.

Both of them have shown full investment sincerity, and the investment agreements they come up with are more refined and the prices are higher and higher each time.

Ding Ning's mind was also quite turbulent due to the generous prices offered by the two.

Finally, on November 11, Ding Ning reached an investment agreement with Huayou Company and Chen Linsen.

Huayou and Chen Linsen each invested 1 million yuan to acquire 18% of Wanwei's shares. As a result, Wanwei's valuation reached an astonishing nearly 5.6 million yuan. When it is officially announced, I don't know how many people will be stunned.

However, the conditions are still strict, especially that he and Ye Di must stay in Wanwei within ten years, which has not changed from beginning to end.

Of course, this does not mean that he and Ye Di will not be able to start or invest in other businesses within ten years.

In the investment agreement, there are clear regulations on Wanwei's business scope, mainly focusing on film and television and music. The two investors' requirements for Wanwei's business performance are limited to these two areas.

For any business other than these two, such as live broadcast, Ding Ning can avoid it by opening another company, but it is a bit troublesome.

Before Huayou and Chen Linsen officially became shareholders, Ding Ning made a series of changes to Wanwei.

First, he and Ye Di re-signed the agreement.

As a heavyweight in the entire company second only to him, and a figure on the Forbes Celebrity List, Ye Di's net worth is in the tens of millions.

But when she joined Wanwei before, she didn't even need a signing fee. One signing lasted for four years. Ye Di is very unfair.

After getting more and more in touch with the industry, Ding Ning has been thinking of changing the contract for Ye Di recently. Now that the studio has introduced capital, it must be standardized, so he just took the opportunity to change, otherwise not only Ye Di, but also the whole work will be hurt. room.

The new contract signed by Ding Ning and Ye Di was basically based on market conditions, but he also made some biases. For example, he lowered all the profit sharing between Ye Di and the company by two percentage points.

These two percentage points may only be tens of thousands of dollars now, but who knows if they will become hundreds of thousands or millions in the future.

Ye Di is basically self-reliant now, and doesn't rely much on Wanwei's resources. He lowered these two percentage points, and no one said anything.

As for most of the film and television resources that Huayou can provide, Ding Ning's plan is also to lean on Ye Di.

Moreover, he has planned a behind-the-scenes team for Ye Di. He will recruit members of the team one by one in the near future, and strive to make everyone an elite in the industry.

Secondly, he divided Wanwei's live broadcast business and built a new Wuha studio.

After the new assistant is recruited in place, Ma Chu will no longer serve as his assistant, and will be promoted to the supervisor of wuha's live broadcast group with a salary increase, fully responsible for the live broadcast business.

After working with Ding Ning for more than two months, he found the way to become a winner in life. Ma Chu is very grateful to Ding Ning.

He knew very well that if it wasn't for Ding Ning's popularity, no matter how poor his mouth was and how strong his muscles were, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is now.

The so-called going out to meet noble people, in his opinion, is just that.

The Wanwei living room was also assigned to wuha by Ding Ning and renamed as wuha living room.

The origin of the name wuha comes from Bruce Lee's catchphrase, which was also used in Wilber Pan's song. Ding Ning felt that the name was very entertaining, so he used it when he thought of it.

Then, he and Yang Du also re-signed the agreement, which clarified the rights, obligations, and equity.

Among the 36% shares held by Huayou and Chen Linsen, according to the existing shareholding ratio, he will contribute 32.4%, and Yang Du will also contribute 3.6%.

As a result, his final shareholding is 57.6%, and he still has absolute dominance.

It is not like Universal, because in several crises, too many capitals were introduced, resulting in the severe dispersion of equity. down.

Finally, Ding Ning made adjustments to Wanwei's entire organizational structure, clarified the names, divisions of labor, and members of each department, and asked the human resources to come up with a detailed job salary table, which included salary increases and personnel promotions. Made a specification.

The new recruitment plan is of course also on the agenda, but Ding Ning did not expand blindly. The focus of recruitment is mainly on a few indispensable core positions, and other positions are recruited at discretion.

In the entire investment plan, Yang Du is the biggest winner besides Ding Ning.

You know, before that, he was thinking of giving up his equity, taking 300 million at a time, and selling himself to be a wage earner with peace of mind.

But now 1% of Wanwei's shares are worth nearly 560 million. He owns 6.4% of the shares. In just three months, his worth has soared more than ten times, reaching more than 500 million.

What is good fortune, this is good fortune.

He has been running Vientiane for so many years, not to mention that he didn't make any money, and he was also heavily in debt. But now that he has been with Ding Ning for three months, his net worth has soared to more than 3000 million. It made him lament the impermanence of fate.

After a series of reform measures were implemented, Ding Ning formally signed an agreement with Huayou Company and Chen Linsen. Since then, Wanwei has entered a new era. No matter in terms of background, channels, and strength, etc., it is completely different from the past. Became a heavyweight role in the entertainment industry.

When Huayou Company, which had been suspended for many days, released such news after its reopening, the share price of Huayou Company fell accordingly.

What a joke, spending 1 million to acquire an 18% stake in a small studio, this is a pitfall, investors are not optimistic about it.

But the rumors in the entertainment industry were raging and raging.

For many people, it was even more earth-shattering and earth-shattering.

God, it's about to change!
