The inspection is indeed just an inspection, and I am still curious. Qu Li's "Comet" is now close to being released. The North American box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars, and it has surpassed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to become the best Chinese film. This honor is too great. If it is

The professional director can immediately be compared with the poetry-reciting master and director Xiaogang, only one step behind the post-Olympic Zhang Guoshi.

But Qu Li is an amateur actor who turned out to be an amateur director. This has caused huge discussions at home and abroad, which has intensified the legendary nature of "Comet".

Bridges also mentioned him in an interview, saying that he went to see this movie specially, and the creativity was great! Then the media reported: "Comet" is very good! Chen Shijun, the founder of YouTube, watched it, and then the founders of Google and Yahoo watched it.

Now, everyone wants to see this "super movie" that is said to be able to defeat Bill Gates, including Bill Gates himself.

This has the role of Lionsgate and the influence of Qu Li. Regardless of the reason, this movie is very successful. Several main actors have been on the hot search. Youku Tudou can watch this movie online, so once again

Downtime.

"Your movie is down again. How are you going to deal with the losses caused to us?" Youku founder Gu Yong joked after finding his phone number from nowhere.

"Oh, when will Youku raise funds next time, give me a chance to participate in the investment."

"Do you have money? We just negotiated a round of financing for $12 million."

"Then how about I invest 12 million soft girl coins at this price?"

"Are you really rich?"

"I don't have one, but I know a rich friend who has a lot of money. Oh, Youku is going to be listed overseas, will it accept soft sister coin funds? If not, I will find another Xiangjiang fund. This will not be a problem."

“Are you so optimistic about Youku?”

"No, I like the one who calls me first."

"..." Qu Li's invisible pretense hurt Gu Yong

"I don't have any problem here. Let's discuss it and tell you the answer." Gu Yong secretly wondered, did this movie make him a lot of money?

"Comet" has a box office of 150 million in North America. The subsequent box office can offset the publicity cost. Qu Li accounted for 30%, which is 45 million US dollars. When Lionsgate vigorously promoted it, the DVD film and television sold for 15 million US dollars. In the end, only one global player was left.

It's hard to estimate the box office revenue, so Qu Li plans to sell it to Lions Gate for US$20 million and wait until he goes to the United States in January to discuss it.

Because he believed that the box office of this movie would be very high, Qu Li had almost no need to pay taxes through the offshore company design, but it was a problem to give good red envelopes to the main creative staff. The main creative and publicity focus of this movie was Qu Li,

Domestic actors are basically tool workers, and changing a group of people will not make any difference. Moreover, the domestic box office allows the main actors to earn more than one million yuan, which is worthy of them. Moreover, overseas film and television copyrights are excluded from the contract when they are signed at the beginning.

"How should I handle this situation? Should I give a red envelope?" Qu Li asked Wang Zhongjun of Huayi, who has experience in this area.

"No?"

"Would they have any objections to this?"

"There will definitely be, but it doesn't matter. You said that you have signed the contract a long time ago. If you want to give red envelopes, they will not be satisfied unless you distribute the dividends according to the domestic proportion. But if you don't give a penny, they won't think too much. Because they

The movie made money and fame."

"Thank you to Mr. Wang for making me make up my mind. This time I buy a stake in Huayi. I don't want to vote. I hope I can consult Mr. Wang more if I have anything in the future."

"What's your name, Mr. Wang? Brother Wang. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me. If you can't pay for it, you can still contribute. There's no need for voting rights." Wang Zhongjun was a little happy.

"I mainly think it's unnecessary. Content creation is the king of film and television companies, and talent is the most important company asset. Unless we become a big company like Disney, asking for voting rights is just a decoration and thankless." Qu Li is

I really think so

"Hahaha~~ That's up to you!" Wang Zhongjun did not refuse anymore, which was good for him

The news that Qu Li was making money could not be hidden from netizens, nor from stakeholders. The unexpected wealth made Shen Nanpeng worried that Qu Li would no longer be dedicated to running Jumei.

"Don't worry, now that I have money, I will be more patient and more confident in adhering to long-termism." Qu Li is full of confidence.

"I heard that you approached IDG to invest in a game company?" Shen Nanpeng asked again.

"Don't worry, this is my personal fund. I mainly want Jumei to cooperate with it, but the risk is too great, so I have not used the company's funds, nor have I participated in the management of this company."

"I think some of your ideas are too advanced and may not be useful."

"It's possible, and others don't understand it, but I think it's enough to control the risks. If you're not willing to take any risks, companies will lose their imagination."

"Well, I'm not accusing you of doing something wrong. Forget it, next time you want to invest in any company, you can contact me. Sequoia can also invest." After Shen Nanpeng said this, he hung up the phone not long after.

Qu Li recalled that he did have some problems in Jumei's management. Before he could build Ahri's team, he had the problem of Ma Dabai showing off everywhere. After visiting Silicon Valley this time, he must take heart.

Gu Yong quickly called him: "Why do you want to invest in Youku?"

"You are from Sohu and have rich Internet experience. I know the founders of YouTube and they have given me a great impact. Secondly, I will invest in Huayi Brothers next year. Although Youku can grow through piracy in the short term, in the long run

You must need genuine movies and TV series, and you have a high chance of success, so..." Qu Li explained in a few words that they have the possibility of cooperation, and they are optimistic about Youku's future development and want to make money.

"We are raising US$12 million this time, and the total equity is from..." Gu Yong said about Youku's first financing, "You invest 1.5 million for 5% of the shares, if you can..."

"Okay, that's it." Qu Li heard that it only cost 1.5 million US dollars, and there was no counter-offer. Domestic video websites are not a good business, but as an early investor, you basically won't lose money. In this case, let's invest.

He has a lot of money anyway.

I can't find out how to pay taxes on my nearly 80 million U.S. dollars of income, so just pretend that I don't need to pay taxes. It seems that I don't need to pay taxes on the domestic box office share of Hollywood movies. Unfortunately, the time when all the money will be received is unknown, and Qu Li is not prepared to transfer this amount.

The money is transferred into the country. Once it's in, it's hard to get out. He's not that stupid.

After settling on this investment, Qu Li just wanted to return to work when Wu Hongning came.

"Do you think there is a future for investing in photovoltaic and wind power companies now?"

"New energy, how did you come up with it?" Qu Li was surprised, this man's vision

"Wuxi Suntech is so popular, and the European market has exploded. It's hard for me not to know about it. The person at the headquarters had planned to invest in a company in Xinjiang before, and now I know about it."

"Jinfeng Technology?" Qu Li asked curiously

"You know that too?"

"..." How could he not know that such a well-known company is at its peak when it goes public, with a drop of more than 80%? What a conscientious stock, but it is actually a damn good company, with good technical strength and market share. The same situation

It also appeared in BOE. This cheating company was ridiculed by the market for more than ten years, and finally became the pride of China.

"Are you also optimistic about this company?"

"Well, I am optimistic about the new energy power generation industry. Photovoltaics and wind power are both good, but they are matured by the EU market. If one day they launch anti-dumping, will these domestic companies survive? Also, we are not talking about this year and next year.

A-shares will have a big market, and if you do PE, there will be a limited sale period. Will the bullish situation turn into a bearish situation before expiration?"

"What do you think?" Wu Hongning still asked.

"I think you can make money no matter what you choose, that's enough!"

Wu Hongning shook his head. If you meet someone unkind, should you withdraw from the IPO?
