Chapter 444 The largest shareholder

At Singapore's Changi International Airport, Tang An got off the plane with his team, and Zhou Yongqiang, director and president of New Media, brought people to greet him in person.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip."

Zhou Yongqiang shook hands with Tang An and said with a smile, "You are welcome Tang Dong, the car has been arranged, let's talk on the way."

This time, "Edge of Tomorrow" has earned a box office of 3000 million US dollars in Asia. As the publisher of other copyrights, they have made a lot of money from it, not to mention that New Media's publicity and distribution channels in Asia are also due to revenue.

Surrounded by two teams of bodyguards, they came out of the airport and then boarded the convoy at the gate, all luxury cars.

The new media is still strong, and it seems that this trip will not return empty-handed.

The largest shareholder of Tudou.com is formally the parent company of New Media, Temasek Holdings, and it is also the largest and most powerful company in Singapore, not one of them.

The company controls nearly 50% of Singapore's stock market, and there is no doubt that it dominates the country's economic fortunes.

Banking, petroleum, communications, real estate, transportation. Covering all industries in the country.

To put it simply, Temasai ≈ Singapore's economy, this name used to be the place name of Singapore.

Moreover, Temasey has also invested in large state-owned banks in several Southeast Asian countries such as my country Construction Bank, Minsheng Bank, Huaguo Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Standard Chartered Bank, Indonesia International Bank, and India's second largest bank ICICI.

There are also Pacific Insurance, Ping An Insurance, Alibaba, Jingdong, Yashili, and Ctrip.
This is the real Big Mac, equivalent to General Electric in the United States and Siemens in Germany.

21.3% of the shares of Tudou.com are in the hands of Temasey. The last round of financing in July 10 was 7 million US dollars.

I'm not sure if I can get Tang An, but such a big company will definitely not care about a mere potato, but Tang An can help them expand the channels of the entire Asian film market.

Although it is only a channel for the film market, other industries can use this to open up gaps one by one.

Zhou Yongqiang had met Zhou Yongqiang when he was talking about "Painted Skin 2" in Beijing. This time, he was asked to contact the senior management of Temasek, so Tang An stopped hiding.

"Mr. Zhou, how do you think about my proposal this time?"

"Dong Tang, I can't get involved in this matter. The person in charge of reception is Mr. Rossid, the co-president of the portfolio strategy and risk group. He is also the co-president of the Southeast Asia region and is responsible for developing the Southeast Asian market." Zhou Yongqiang said again.

He is really a big man. Although there are at least [-] or [-] people of this level in Temasai, any one who comes to the country will be received by the mayor and secretary in person.

The more the other party pays attention to it, the more sure it is.

The convoy came to Orchard Road, which is the hinterland of Singapore. The Presidential Palace and embassies of various countries are on this road.

An ordinary office building is not a whole building, it only occupies five, six or seven floors, not much bigger than Hantang Media.

It is this small three-story office building with more than 300 employees who controls the lifeline of Singapore's economy.

Zhou Yongqiang brought Tang An to an ordinary meeting room, and the other party was already waiting, a total of 5 people.

"Good day, Mr. Rossider."

"Hello, Mr. Tang."

The two sides greeted each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in Roside's eyes. Obviously, Tang An's age also surprised him a little.

However, there are too many people in the world who have surpassed Tang An's achievements before the age of 30, so it's not surprising.

Before the meeting, the other party also understood Tang An's intentions, and after a few pleasantries, the official start began.

"Mr. Rossid, we are willing to purchase all the shares of Tudou.com from you at a premium price of 4000 million US dollars."

Rossid took over the contract from Tang An without even looking at it, put it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, the current valuation of Tudou.com is US$5 million, so is this 21.3% stake only worth US$4000 million? ?”

“2010年7月贵方以3500万美元的价格融资获得了这21.3%的股份，那时候米国华尔街给出的估值就是5亿了，罗西德先生您说呢？”

At that time, the prospect of Tudou was very bright, and it was the second largest video website in China. It is not surprising that Tudou has a valuation of 5 million.

Without Wang Wei's divorce case, 4000 million would not be enough.

But now Wang Wei is in a quagmire, the company has postponed its listing, and the original good situation no longer exists.

The bubble of Internet companies was too big, and the market value of Ahli later was greater than that of General Electric, but even 5 Ahli could not be exchanged for a single General Electric.

Rossid did not refute, and smiled, "As long as Wang Wei solves the current predicament and re-lists, the market value of Tudou will not be less than 5 million."

"If he can't solve it, once the capital chain that can't be listed is broken, the whole potato will be dragged down."

Tang An once again made a condition, "Mr. Rossid, I can entrust the Asian distribution rights of the films invested by Hantang Media in the next 5 years to New Media Group, and shoot a series of "囧" movies for your country within three years!"

Rossid became interested, "Like "Lost in Thailand"?"

New Media has always paid close attention to the mainland market. Since "Lost in Thailand" was released in the mainland, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Chiang Mai has increased by five times, and the per capita consumption has also nearly doubled.

Moreover, according to the analysis of statistical agencies, the number of Chinese tourists traveling to Thailand next year is expected to reach 200 million, and the number of companies in the China-Thailand Tourism Association has increased from 110 to 150.

Thai Airways, as well as Thailand's domestic hotel and taxi business, have also seen substantial growth.

Rossid nodded, seeming to agree with Tang An's statement, but then said, "Mr. Tang, we have always been yearning for the film market in mainland China. I think New Media and Hantang Media will cooperate to establish a new media The group can further deepen the cooperation between us."

Nima pen!
A small country is eyeing the mainland movie market!
This Tang An would definitely not agree to it. If you want to cooperate with Fujixun and Ahli to establish a film and television company, it's okay to say that New Media will forget it.

Tang An thought for a while and declined politely, "Mr. Rossider, when Time Warner and Wanda jointly established Warner Wanda Cinemas, they had to withdraw from the mainland market due to policy changes, and Warner Wanda Cinemas also became Wanda Cinemas. Sole proprietorship industry."

Tang An is just talking nonsense, Berner still has several foreign shareholders.

Finally, after more than 3 hours of negotiation, the other party also agreed to Tang An's acquisition and transferred 4300% of Tudou's shares at a price of 21.3 million US dollars.

Before coming here, Tang An had already mortgaged the 210 houses in the capital for the second time, and mortgaged 1.5 million RMB again.

Hantang Media has become the biggest antique of the second largest video website in China!

In addition, New Media obtained Hantang Media's film distribution rights in Asia for the next five years, and started filming a "New Jiong" within three years.

The legal department confirmed the specific matters one by one, and what clauses were violated.

It is no problem to start filming "Xin囧" within three years. Even if it cannot be filmed by then, the project can be approved first and delayed for a while.

After signing the contract, Tang An immediately brought people back to China, and released the news that Hantang Media became the largest shareholder of Tudou.com.

Tudou.com will also restart the listing process. After all, video sites burn a lot of money and need a lot of money.

When the news from the major domestic portals came out, there was a small wave of earthquakes.

Hantang Media, a new company, has actually become the major shareholder of Tudou.com. Although it is far from being a controlling shareholder, it is still very powerful.

You must know that Youku's current market value is more than twice that of Huayi!
PS: The author is just a plain-headed commoner, a little handsome and tall dick, who doesn't understand business.However, it should be true that Temasek acquired 10% of Tudou’s shares for US$7 million in July 3500. The data should be as accurate as possible.
