Rebirth in officialdom: crush enemies and reach the top

"Secretary Chu, there is something I need to tell you in advance..."

Seeing Chu Xian's terrifying talent in movies, Lu Jianming couldn't wait to say, "If you create a new script in the future, you must cooperate with me. I will do my best to repay your trust and support in me... "

"What a coincidence!"

Chu Xian smiled and said, "I happened to have a project to cooperate with you recently..."

"What project?"

After Lu Jianming heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into light.

"Nanzhu County recently plans to establish a cultural communication company led by the government. Its main business is in the fields of online literature and children's animation. Are you interested in investing?"

"Secretary, no offense intended! I can still understand children's animation, after all, there is a market! But the online literature you are talking about, does it have investment value? Sorry, I am a movie maker, and I really don't know much about this area... …”

"I think that with the continuous upgrading of electronic products and the advent of the information age, paper literature will gradually decline, and electronic reading will be the future development trend! China has a population of more than one billion and is a market with huge reading demand. , this is a big cake, and the profit is very considerable..."

Chu Xian explained patiently, "As for children's animation, I already have two good ideas, and I am confident that they will become a phenomenon-level hit in the animation market. If you are interested in investing, let's talk in detail..."

When Lu Jianming heard this, he stared at Chu Xian, his pupils once again reflected the brilliance of shock.

It wasn't because Chu Xian explained to him the huge market for online literature, because he didn't know much about the field of online literature and wasn't very interested in it.

The reason why he was shocked was because Chu Xian said that he already had two good ideas for the children's animation market and was confident that they would become a phenomenal hit!

Lu Jianming, who has been immersed in the film industry for many years, certainly understands the meaning and weight of the words "phenomenal hit"!

And the Chu Xian in his impression is not the kind of person who talks too much and talks too much. If he is not absolutely sure, he will not say such things!

Thinking of this, Lu Jianming was already a little tempted...

At the same time, a terrible consequence occurred in his heart, which made him dare not refuse Chu Xian at all!

If I reject Chu Xian this time, will he make the other party unhappy?

If so, I might not be able to get the other party’s other scripts!

What's even more frightening is that if the other party finds a competitor, such as Qiankun Pictures, to cooperate, it will be a very serious blow to his career!

If other film screenwriters said this, Lu Jianming would definitely sneer at it, but he has read three of Chu Xian's scripts and knows that he has such strength!

Moreover, Chu Xian not only has a terrifying talent in movies, but he is also a 26-year-old senior cadre!

The glorious future in his official career also made Lu Jianming realize the necessity of making friends with him!

So Lu Jianming quickly expressed his attitude to Chu Xian after a quick weighing in his mind.

"Secretary Chu, I am very interested in investing, but I don't know how much this investment will cost?"

"It is estimated that it will not be lower than your investment in the education and training group, because whether it is online literature or children's animation, it is very expensive..."

"Secretary, that's it! I would like to ask when is this project expected to start?"

Lu Jianming said apologetically, "Xuanyuan Pictures Group has invested more than 17 billion in the film and television city project and the education and training group, and has recently been filming three movies including "Kung Fu". Funds are indeed a little tight! If this project If you’re not in a hurry, can you wait until the movie is released and some of the funds are recovered before investing?”

"Yes, your funds can be given priority to film shooting. This project is not urgent for the time being! Because the most urgent thing to advance at the moment is the "Super Girl" music talent show..."

Chu Xian's words were not meant to comfort Lu Jianming, because he only had a general idea in his mind about this cultural communication company and had not yet formed a specific plan.

We have not yet discussed it with Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Zhengqiu and Mayor Long Wenwen.

The specific operation methods of this cultural communication company still need to be carefully considered before being finalized.

First of all, if you build a literary website, whether to adopt a VIP payment system or to imitate Tomato and Bamao and implement a free reading mechanism with advertising as the main profit model is a selective issue that needs to be considered urgently.

In fact, both mechanisms have their own pros and cons.

For readers, the VIP payment system provides a better reading experience because there are no ads inserted. However, when reading paid chapters and needing to spend money to subscribe to chapters, some readers who are not very sticky will simply leave, either abandoning the book or reading pirated copies. went……

But for websites and authors, the payment system actually generates higher income, and the reader stickiness under the payment system is also high, because before paying for a novel, readers will first consider whether the novel is worth my money. ? Because readers are also afraid of spending money in vain.

Although paid is highly profitable, free also has certain advantages, because most readers may like to have sex for free. This is due to human nature!

Before the rebirth, the battle between paid and free online literature had become fierce, but there was still no winner!

In this regard, Chu Xian’s initial idea is to imitate a certain point, first adopt a paid model, and then try a free model on a sub-brand of the group.

Because the current acceptance of online articles is not that high, and the traffic is not that large, it will be very difficult to adopt the free model at present. Before everyone sees the value of online articles, it is estimated that few advertisers are willing to spend money on free articles. Advertise on your website!

Hearing what Chu Xian said, Lu Jianming was visibly relieved, "Then I'll be relieved! Secretary Chu, leave me part of the equity in your cultural communication company. I will definitely invest in it after my funds are recovered!"

"No problem, but Director Lu, you have to make it clear to me. I plan to put 49% of the equity in this cultural communication company out for bidding. What percentage of equity is your target?"

Chu Xian asked bluntly.

If the other party only invests 2 million, it will definitely not be able to take 49% of the equity. It is estimated that other strategic investors will have to be introduced by then.

"Secretary Chu, how much does it cost to acquire this 49% stake?"

"It is estimated to be around 5 million..."

Chu Xian quoted a price. This price was only an estimate in his mind, and there was no actual calculation details as a reference.

He thought that Lu Jianming would definitely ask him, what is the basis for this 5 million valuation?

But unexpectedly, Lu Jianming didn't ask anything, but made a phone call directly in front of Chu Xian.

"I'm Lu Jianming, taking charge of the investment department..."

"Hey, Manager Meng? Listen, the board of directors has decided to invest in a cultural communication company in Nanzhu County, so let me sell most of the equity held by the company in the secondary market and strive to cash out 5 million in funds within a month... "
