Chapter 1053 Dream Incubation
Everyone visited Wei Jixun's office, located on the tallest building in the yard. At this time, there were not many people walking with him, and my brother-in-law finally mentioned the issue of stake.
Gao Xu did not answer immediately. He looked out from the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the surrounding environment again. The morning sun shone inclined into the building complex, and a huge shadow appeared on a low building. It was the tall buildings under his feet that blocked the sun.
Wei Jixun spoke again, Gao Xu could only withdraw his gaze from looking back, look at him, and act like he listened carefully.
"Originally, after the budget, Brother Liu and other investors paid for the animation factory as the production cost. To be honest, the budget already contains the profits of the factory. In addition, when the profits are distributed, the animation factory, as the producer, will also have a proportional share of the profits." Wei Jixun said, "If Brother Liu invests in shares, all kinds of profits of the factory will be shared, and it is not limited to the videos invested by Brother Liu himself."
Gao Xu listened patiently, but occasionally responded "yes" without interrupting Wei Jixun.
Then Wei Jixun began to talk about how to raise funds and expand scale operations. Although Gao Xu didn't know the specifics very well, he roughly understood the principle. For example, he now has 300 million yuan in cash, and in theory he can do business with a scale of 3 billion yuan.
Wei Jixun also talked about how to avoid the change in investment profit and loss and become an "elevator". Gao Xu's first animation had a great possibility of profit and loss fluctuations because he only invested in one animation; his profit could reach several times, and failure could lead to most of the cost.
"Well..." Gao Xu nodded and responded, "Brother Wei's words are reasonable."
However, Gao Xu has his own situation and his judgment. He feels that the industry in Mingguo is not easy to do and the competition is fierce. Judging from the recent money-making animations and films, they are all high-cost and excellent productions. The reason why Gao Xu won the last time was that he took shortcuts in innovation and formed asymmetric competition was very related. Once the things he remembered were exhausted, he might continue to lose money and bleed in the industry.
After thinking for a while, Gao Xu said, "Brother Wei's opinion has benefited me a lot. I'll think about it again."
After hearing this, Wei Jixun nodded.
Gao Xu turned to look at Wang Siqi, "Can the film studio shoot a series?"
Wang Siqi subconsciously frowned, "The photography equipment is different, but in Shengying Film Studio, there are equipment for filming dramas. Directors, actors, and technical personnel can do everything. No matter what, as long as there is capital investment, those are not a problem. The two types (movies and gatherings) have different focuss on the effects, but the most different part is the income channel. No one will do the dramas for making money in movies, and the funds return will be slower."
After listening for a while, Gao Xu said straight: "In other words, our 'Shengying Film Factory' can make dramas."
Wang Siqi said: "Yes. But I still want to suggest Mr. Liu that animation and movies have similar channels. Mr. Liu might as well invest directly in movies and get money from the box office faster."
"Well..." Gao Xu made a voice and then said, "Next time I will recommend a drama director and meet him."
Wang Siqi said helplessly: "Okay, I will help General Liu arrange this matter."
Gao Xu turned around and looked at Wei Jixun, and asked with a smile, "I want to register a studio first, rent a room and work as an office for you, Brother Wei agrees?"
Wei Jixun was stunned for a moment, and after a while he realized, he said happily: "Of course, you can choose one floor of this building. What else can you rent? Just move it in and use it."
Gao Xu said: "If you want to rent, we will send someone to complete the procedures. One code will be converted into one code, which will make it easier and clearer."
Wei Jixun smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you."
Wei Jixun spent so much verbal lobbying Gao Xu just now. After listening patiently, Gao Xu had already grasped the key point: Wei Jixun just wanted to continue to cooperate with Gao Xu for a long time.
Although the Wei family is a bit in a bad position, the capital chain of these two film companies should not be a big problem for the time being. Wei Jixun has no direct benefits to joining Gao Xu. After all, how much money is spent on investment, how much money is spent on the shareholding.
However, Gao Xu entered the market with the experience of making money successfully, and the upper animation turned the manufacturer into profit in one fell swoop. Therefore, Wei Jixun seemed to just want to continue to cooperate and share success.
Now Gao Xu did not agree to invest, but he actively expressed his intention to put the studio in this yard, so that the same effect could be achieved. Gao Xu could not build the studio in this factory, but he would find a production company outside to cooperate with it, right?
Both of them laughed, and Gao Xu thought to himself: I am still good at simplifying complex problems when telling me such a complicated process.
He smiled and said, "I have thought of the name of the studio, and it is called the 'Dream Hatching' Studio."
Miao Jin's voice said, "You still like to name it."
"You said this, it seems to be true." Gao Xu said.
As noon approached, Wei Jixun, who was in a good mood, wanted to invite Gao Xu to his house for lunch. Gao Xu did not refuse, and followed Miao Jin and Wei Jixun to leave the yard and drove to the Wei family.
He took out three gifts from the trunk, which were sedge paintings brought back from Egypt. Many tourists bought fakes locally, but Gao Xu’s pairs were bought from traditional old stores and were made by hand.
Of course, compared to this souvenir, Wei Chenghua was obviously more interested in another "gift" from Gao Xu. This reminded Gao Xu of something a long time ago. A friend from the city told him that he actually didn't like people from his hometown to give local specialties, but it was more exciting to give money.
So after the meal, Gao Xu mentioned his recent plans and prepared to make an animation and a series.
A few people went to the study to chat, and a young girl came to serve tea and water in a while. But now these girls are different from the maids in the past. Their service is just a job and there is no longer any personal dependence.
Gao Xu sat next to Wei Chenghua and said, "I want Mr. Wei to do it in the animation investor and producer. I will also invest in 50 million yuan in the name of the 'Dream Incubation' studio. Because of the last market experience, I am very confident in the profit probability of this animation. Of course, I have to listen to Mr. Wei's meaning."
Wei Chenghua immediately nodded in agreement. Then, during this discussion, Gao Xu did not even make the script. Mr. Wei was still like that, and he only believed in the people he trusted, regardless of the product itself.
Gao Xu continued: "The risks of the planned drama are a bit too high. Because I have no experience and have more human factors such as actors, I am very likely to lose money. I am not just planning to make money, but I am going to make a trip. The producer still leaves it to the Wei family, so I will invest, and add some investment from outside."
After hearing this, Wei Chenghua suddenly said, "Xiao Liu means, I want us to make a profit without losing money?"
His eldest son and daughter Miao Jin all looked at Gao Xu sideways.
Gao Xu smiled, but gradually felt a little forced.
The power of the Wei family is not as simple as the Wei Chenghua family. Gao Xu has fully realized that he is not the emperor, and even his background is not very good. Sometimes he can save a lot of trouble when he runs under a big tree. For example, when he is in the last time, Gao Xu relied on the Wei family.
However, the most important thing is that the 50 million yuan loan from Miaojin last time is essentially derived from the Wei family; without that large amount of funds, Gao Xu would not have accomplished.
When the host Wei Zhongming treated him, Gao Xu said something very nice, but the good words were not all lies. Generally speaking, he would not say lies that were completely against his will, and at most he would just add some decoration.
Only by repaying love can relationships last for a long time. Gao Xu does mean rewarding this time. Since he wants to repay, he certainly needs something substantial: benefits.
Miao Jin seemed to have seen Gao Xu's operation clearly, and his eyes also showed a clear meaning. Gao Xu looked at her calmly, as if reminding her that Zai Yiji said: You are you, the Wei family is the Wei family.
She has always been a little escapist, but Gao Xu has always been in the world. He is often very bored with the world and just thinks it is useful to do so. Maybe Miao Jin doesn't need Gao Xu's protection in this life, but at some point, she may need a vulgar person like Gao Xu.
Gao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "When Mr. Wei is heavy, there are risks in investment. It's just a difference between high and low risks. How can you make a profit without losing money? The planned drama is indeed very risky. I just don't want to recommend inferior investments to Mr. Wei. Isn't that cheating you?"
Wei Chenghua looked at Gao Xu, his eyes as if he didn't know him, then pointed at Gao Xu and turned around, "Your uncle said that Xiao Liu is knowledgeable, I think what is more important is his good character and kindness."
Gao Xu hurriedly said, "Young people can't stand the praises."
Miaojin also looked at him with a smile.
Wei Chenghua gently patted the coffee table and said, "I have to invest in both projects. I believe in Xiao Liu's vision."
Gao Xu calmed down his smile and reminded calmly, "The drama will really lose money. I am not a strong career, and sometimes I am just interested."
"It's okay." Wei Chenghua smiled and waved his hand generously.
Gao Xu thought about it and felt that there was no need to be too deliberate in showing goodwill, so he said, "Then Mr. Wei invested 10 million yuan. For the main free funds, I suggest that Mr. Wei invested in animation projects. In the next step in animation, I plan to take advantage of the victory and do something similar to the style, and it should be profitable."
Wei Chenghua stretched out his hand and said, "That's all."
Gao Xu reached out and held Wei Chenghua's somewhat haggard hand, and the two reached an agreement verbally.
The old man left the study room after a while, and then Wei Jixun accompanied Gao Xu and took him to visit this retro yard. Today, he didn't see Miao Jin's second brother, and he heard that he was still in the capital. Taicang and the capital were the economic and political centers of the Ming Dynasty, respectively. People from these big families usually have industries in both places.
Wei Jixun only met Gao Xu in person today, and the two got along well.
