380. Hao Jun's Dilemma
"I don't know, why does this Mr. Li want to enter the entertainment industry?"
After playing golf a few strokes, everyone returned to the lounge of the club, ordered coffee, and then sat down. Because when playing golf, Wang Teng introduced Li Yifan in detail to Hao Jun. After the two sides had a preliminary understanding of each other, Hao Jun stopped hiding and asked bluntly.
Last year, he cooperated with Taihe Group, and actually the main focus was on the funds of the Taihe Group. Taihe Group is a real estate company that came to Beijing from other places. It is indeed rich in funds, but the boss also has his own purpose. They invested in it just to make money.
Last year, he invested 25 million yuan, and Hao Jun's side, all the company's assets were only about 10 million yuan. Later, he converted all his relationship network into it, which was considered 25 million yuan. Both parties each accounted for 50% of the company's shares.
The reason why the other party invested in his brother entertainment company is actually the profitability of director Feng Dazui in the past two years.
But unexpectedly, last year, this director Feng Da did not follow his traditional Beijing-style humorous route, but planned to transform and create a "Sigh" that is related to extramarital affair in recent years.
Although the box office of this movie is not bad, it is much worse than the humorous comedy movies he created in previous years.
This made Taihe Group, another investor in Brother Entertainment, very annoyed. In order to meet Taihe's needs this year, director Feng Dazui had to return to his Beijing-style humorous New Year film.
This time, director Feng Dazui became ruthless. If he wanted to do it, he had to make it big. He planned to invite internationally renowned actors, including a second-rate actor from Canada and a beautiful actress from Hong Kong, and planned to shoot a movie called "Big Star".
This movie has invested a lot of money because it has invited actors from Canada and Hong Kong, which makes Taihe a little worried, so it is a little unhappy in terms of capital investment.
Taihe's unhappiness caused Hao Jun to get angry. You should know that in his opinion, Director Feng Dazui is definitely the money tree for his company's development, and he is the kind of person who must not be offended.
He planned to absolutely satisfy any request from the director, but at this time the Taihe Group actually dragged him down, which made him feel very angry.
Because of this investment, it made him and Feng Dazui very unhappy, which made Hao Jun even more upset.
You should know that with Feng Dazui's fame, if he really gets angry, he will no longer do it. If he goes out independently, then some companies will be chasing him and holding her behind him.
But if the brothers' company leaves Feng Dazui, it is hard to say whether they can play in the Chinese film market at that time.
In fact, this is indeed the case in the original historical trajectory. Later, in 2004, after the cooperation between Feng Dazui and Brothers Entertainment expired, Feng Dazui resolutely left Brothers Entertainment Company.
The first phase of cooperation between the two sides was considered to have come to an end, but after that, both parties experienced a period of lows. It was not until Hao Jun took the script of "No Thieves" again in the morning after Feng Dazui was in the morning, and the two sides started their second cooperation.
So because of the cooperation with Taihe Group last year, everyone has been very unhappy now, so Hao Jun is very cautious about the choice of future financing targets. It is enough to have Taihe restrain him in the company, and he doesn't want to find someone who can't help but can only cause trouble for him.
"Oh? Speaking of this, I have to start with when I was having dinner with Director Feng of our imperial court station a few days ago. At that time, several products of our subsidiaries were planned to advertise on the imperial court station. I asked Director Feng, who are the advertising companies in our capital that produce advertising well. Director Feng recommended your company to me and said that you, Mr. Hao, used to be a background in this, and now you are developing very well in the entertainment industry. The company is very strong. If possible, you can cooperate with you. Later, I went back to investigate and became interested in entering the entertainment industry. I would like to entrust Brother Wang to contact you. I hope you don't think I'm too presumptuous..."
"Where, where, how can you think that way?"
Hao Jun replied with a smile that Li Yifan arrived, but he was very excited. Sure enough, this kid is really not simple. His company has products that can be advertised on the court. It seems that this guy is really the kind of person who is not short of money.
Hao Jun used to work in a department under the State Administration of Optoelectronics. Later, after resigning, he stayed in the entertainment industry in Beijing for two years, and then went to the United States.
After returning from the United States, the first thing he started to do was advertising companies, which was his relationship network in the imperial court and the State Administration of Optoelectronics. In the first few years, he actually made a lot of money from advertising, and then gradually started filming TV series and later filming movies.
He also knew Director Feng of the imperial court and knew that he was a good person. Even if it was an advertisement film made by his brothers entertainment, if you want to show your face on the imperial court, you have to look at Director Feng's expression.
According to his understanding, Director Feng would definitely not mention himself to this young man, but when someone mentioned Director Feng, this is like someone showing his strength in disguise.
Originally, Hao Jun still had some doubts about the young man's financial resources, so when he just played golf, he had always reserved his attitude of talking to Li Yifan.
But now when Li Yifan said this, he would go all the doubts in his heart. He could sit with Director Feng for dinner, and his products could also be advertised on the imperial court. How could he be a liar?
In the past two years, Director Feng's appetite has become increasingly bigger and he is actively seeking transformation. He is no longer satisfied with only shooting so-called Beijing-style comedy movies. He wants to enter big productions and make big investments and outputs.
Hao Jun, who is also a media student in the United States, can certainly understand Director Feng’s ideas. After all, this is also the future development trend of the film industry.
So he also agreed with Director Feng's idea, but if he wanted to do big production, he needed to make a big investment. The reason he cooperated with Taihe Group last year was to get support in terms of funds, but now he thinks about it, he regrets it a little.
Because after more than a year of cooperation, in his opinion, Taihe and his group are simply unfriendly things. They only have money in their eyes. After investing in high-end movies and making money, they just think about sharing money.
As for the idea of increasing investment and making the film industry bigger and stronger, those people don’t have any idea at all. They are just a bunch of short-sighted greedy people.
Moreover, within the company, because they hold 50% of the equity, they keep pointing fingers about what kind of movies their brother companies launch every year, which makes Hao Jun feel indescribable.
He now wants to kick the Taihe Group away, but he doesn't have enough money. After all, he occupies 50% of the company's equity.
In his previous life, the conflict between Hao Jun and Taihe Group was once irreconcilable this year and next year. Later, he paid for his own money and bought back 5% of the shares from Taihe, which was the absolute control of the company he had.
After that, he started to play the role of equity financiers in repurchasing equity, by introducing funds from Wang Teng and TOM Group, expanding the company, and then kicking Taihe Group out of the brothers entertainment company.
He himself was the dominant player in his brother entertainment company. Of course, in order to take Taihe Group away, he spent a lot of money. In the end, he spent a high price of 75 million yuan and paid three times the amount, so he invited Taihe Group, the great god.
But that happened a few years later. To be honest, Hao Jun already had this idea now. Unfortunately, he is not easy to find a suitable financing partner these days. Moreover, after cooperation with Taihe Group last year, he felt that he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the rope for ten years.
He was afraid that it would be the front door to reject the wolf and the back door to enter the tiger, so he was a little hesitant about Wang Teng's intention to cooperate with the three parties and never agreed.
"Haha, it seems that there are some problems with Mr. Hao's cooperation with Taihe? Otherwise, why are you so hesitant about the financing issues with us?"
The three of them have been sitting here for an hour, but whenever they talk about specific cooperation matters, Hao Jun is just concerned about him, which makes Wang Teng, who is in the matchmaking, feel very dissatisfied. If you are not sincere, why did you agree so happily yesterday?
At this time, Hao Jun felt a dilemma in his heart. He was very eager for Wang Teng and Li Yifan's funds, but what he was afraid of now was that after having Taihe last year, he would bring in these two people this year, and if he was a money-greedy man like Taihe, it would be troublesome.
If this is the case, how can his brother entertainment develop in the future?
“Uh… Actually…”
