Chapter 71. Let me be an angel investor

Insufficient funds are the key factor that restricts the development of enterprises. This is why industrial enterprises often need large-scale investment to start construction, and the investment is a million dollars. In the future, computer Internet companies will be able to blossom everywhere, and an office can be a company.

However, although the initial capital of Internet companies is cheap, the real cost is at the back, that is, the online promotion process, which is definitely the burning of money. Alice is very clear that after the establishment of an Internet company in the future, the first thing is to seek financing like various angel investors or companies, venture capital companies, otherwise they will not be able to develop at all.

So this is also a problem of equivalent replacement. Industrial enterprises have high investment costs in the early stages, but as long as the factory is picked up, they can slowly produce products. Although Internet companies only need a few computers to form, because of this, under the competition of a large number of peers, if they do not spend huge amounts of money to promote online, they will know their products, let alone purchase them.

The first year, the A round of financing, the second year, the B round of financing, and then the third round of C round of financing, during which the personal investment behavior of rich people, namely angel investment. Only after all these rounds are over, the company is qualified to launch an impact on listing.

But it is no exaggeration to say that if 500 companies receive Series A financing within a year, at the end of that year, at least 400 companies will actually go bankrupt.

Among the 100 companies that have reached the C round, 80% will still not be able to continue before listing.

It is normal to think about it. Compared with the total global population and the Internet companies that entrepreneurs may be able to build, how many listed companies are there in the stock market?

Just calculate it and you will understand it. Especially in the later Chinese market, the entire A-share market has only 3,000 stocks, and the transaction volume of the GEM is only a fraction of that of the Shanghai and Shenzhen. If any round of financing can create a listed company, wouldn’t everyone be a billionaire?

Alice realized that Mr. Lawrence is currently dealing with this contradiction. Although he has a lot of savings, filming a movie is not a matter of money. Although the cost of third-rate actors and third-rate directors plus third-rate scripts is low, this combination is really not worthy of attention. The luxurious lineup cannot afford to pay for it. Low-cost and high box office is just a rare opportunity, and it is normal to be entangled.

Therefore, unless Mr. Lawrence wants to start from a purely small-cost and small box office and work hard step by step, financing is the inevitable result.

Although this will cause the loss of shares and the separation of management rights and ownership. But first of all, the latter is a modern enterprise management system; as for the loss of shares, if 100% of the shares are worth one million and 5% of the shares are worth one million, whoever a person is not an idiot, know which one should he choose?

As long as this 5% is the largest ratio among all shareholders, isn’t it still the chairman?

Therefore, Alice definitely has tens of millions of interests in the prototype of Mr. Lawrence, which has not yet been registered.

Almost no one who has lived in the 21st century will not be interested in Hollywood movies, especially with Alice's current memory and talent, it is like playing.

So, just as the deputy leader of the SOS group, Ashley was designing the slogan style for "We don't produce clothes, we are just fashionable porters", Alice had already arrived at Sissi's home.

"Mr. Lawrence, long time no see!"

In the living room of the Sissi's house, which is equivalent to the Beverly mansion, Alice warmly greeted Mr. Lawrence: "I got a lot from you at the last party!"

"Yes, yes, I heard about it. Your "Jurassic Park" has been promoted in three cities, but I know it very well."

Under the warm hospitality of Sissi's mother, Alice and Mr. Lawrence sat on the sofa and tasted the mellow milk tea: "Spek of the bantam contacted me not long ago, and he said that the market research results of your book were particularly outstanding. Not to mention the joint publicity of Manhattan, Los Angeles and Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Houston, there are still ten cities on the subsequent list!"

"Editor Brown just spoke to me not long ago, and he is my editor-in-chief."

Alice savored the milk tea ceremony: "He said that after the new book launch conference is held in November, if the sales are excellent, the next one is to open up the international market. The first choice is to have two cities, London and Paris, and then Toronto will set up a point. Hehe, it seems that my book still has development potential."

Of course, Michael Clayton's works must be fine.

The scale of the global book market is not comparable to that of later generations, which only dominated by successful studies, teaching materials and various reference books.

"Hey, you two."

Carrying a bottle of Sprite from 1984, Sissi walked into the living room swaying. This was her own home: "Alice, aren't you going to talk about the movie with my dad? Why are you talking about your damn book again?"

Damn it, absolutely damn it!

I said casually last week and published a complete long science fiction novel next week. It’s still a hot sale now!?

What a joke?

Xixi just visited a large bookstore in the city not long ago. The three-fold and rolling pages of "Jurassic Park" can be seen everywhere in the new book area on the first floor. People almost lined up to send folding pages to salesmen. Many people even imagined the posters on rolling pages.

Damn it, isn’t it just a dark dinosaur shadow in a green jungle? Did those adults not have the minimum knowledge? Why are you so excited?

So, seeing Alice actually chatting with her dad about the book, she was the first to interrupt the topic!

"Oh, the movie problem."

Alice said with a smile: "Mr. Lawrence, look, let me write you a few scripts, how about investing in your company?"

"Investing? Uh... I can understand writing the script. You definitely have this level. What's going on with investment?"

Of course, Mr. Lawrence didn't know how much money Alice had, and of course it wasn't too much at the moment.

"I still have some savings. I heard from Qianxi that you are worried about what kind of movie you are making because of your financial problems. Then if I were a film investor and then provide a script, I should save a lot of money, right?"

Mr. Lawrence looked at his daughter curiously: "Okay, Xixi, I have found my neighbor when I look for angels. You are really my daughter."

Xixi snorted coldly, raised her head and gusted. The 1984-year-old Sprite instantly fell halfway: "Himmer! Well, of course, I won't see who I am!"
