Chapter 1006 Alternative Investment Willingness
This old Tang felt quite arrogant when talking, or looked down on his colleagues in the dynasty. But he had something to say, and he could explain why the visual effect of "Jueji" was not good? Putting aside the script, Director Guo would not guide such industrialized films, and the order of his filming was wrong.
According to Lao Tang, such movies that are extremely late-production cannot be shot in the normal order of the movie, and they cannot draw a storyboard first and then shoot it and then hand it over to post-production. That is impossible to process it into an ideal effect. The post-production framework must be processed first, and the post-production effect must be determined before drawing a storyboard. Finally, the shooting is made, which is equivalent to making the mold first and then filling the mold with grout.
Chu Yuanxi was teased by Lao Tang for a while and didn't know if it was right, because he had never been in contact with him before, but it seemed to make sense.
Fortunately, he now recognizes Disney and DreamWorks, so it should be OK to inquire and verify it.
Chu Yuanxi likes the other party's attitude towards employees. The reason why he accepts mergers and acquisitions is because he is reluctant to lay off employees. Many technical and art have been maintained for many years. It hurts to lay off employees. Lao Tang's original words were: "Then the company will be incomplete."
However, the S space in terms of loans is not preferred, so don’t think about financing at this time, so it’s more realistic to consider being acquired.
This team is very useful for Baren Information and Baren Media, especially for movies that are about to be planned. Hard-core martial arts does not require post-processing, but there are many places to be processed. Just like Huang Rong is best at stir-frying cabbage and steaming tofu, which is called returning to nature. After all, it is not in the 1970s and 1980s. It is also hard-core. It is impossible to make it the same as it was at that time. It is impossible to have no special effects.
In addition, maybe Yang Jiangang has something to learn from.
However, Lao Tang's offer is relatively high, and he valued himself 100 million yuan and sold 80% of his equity for 80 million yuan. In his words, the original goal was to go public or be acquired by listed companies. The company has entered a stage of rapid development and should be able to become a leading company in relevant domestic fields within one year.
And if it weren’t for the recent cold and sudden incidents of film and television, S Space would have been able to meet the listing conditions in less than two years and its profits would not be bad. Therefore, the valuation of 1100 million is already a loss, and they would have to leave 20%. What if it is resold to a listed company in the future? You can make more money.
Chu Yuanxi didn’t know where to start vomiting, because, even if you were to be a head in China, what’s the use of being a head in China? What does it have to do with whether you are on the market or not? Are you too optimistic about your expectations?
Who doesn’t look for a real Hollywood team when you really spend a lot of money on movies in China? Although the most representative "A Shura" in 2018 wrote the script with his feet, he took more than 200 million yuan and threw it into the later stage. Who was he invited? Of course, it is a famous European and American company.
The team you have formed from Hollywood has not even a representative work, so who knows it?
Chu Yuanxi was not suspicious of the other party's strength, because although there were no blockbusters as representative works, his later strength could be fully displayed through the works.
This is equivalent to whether a painter paints well or not. He doesn't need to sell his paintings at a high price to prove it. Anyone with a certain level of appreciation can judge a rough idea. Those who paint well but are not sold at a high price are actually more worth buying, because the appreciation potential in the future is great.
However, this is an acquisition of the team and an acquisition of people, and it is also the most likely acquisition to be hollowed out. How did the listed company St. Haina be played by the listed company? The entire team emptied the company and then quit, and then re-established a Lili Electronics and applied for the IPOS again. The conference was over, and it almost became a big A-share and was once again a pillar of shame. Finally, it was reported by netizens before it was removed.
So the conditions must be discussed again. How much is one thing, but the conditions are another. Chu Yuanxi came up with an installment payment plan. At any time, Baren has the right to suspend payment and break the contract. The right to break the contract is of course one of the contents of the contract, and there is no problem.
After completing the procedures for Shidong Culture, he started cloud recruitment, that is, online recruitment. This is a form similar to the boss's direct recruitment, but the boss' direct recruitment is actually not suitable for ordinary recruitment. It is best if both parties have a certain understanding of each other, that is, the company has a certain reputation and the applicant has a certain industry status, which is mainly due to high efficiency.
Today, Chu Yuanxi is going to hire four director-level management teams, as well as two very rare virtual reality VR siege lions, one of which is Pu Mingyi, who resigned from the Silicon Valley star startup Spatial, and returned to China.
The city treasure promoted by Milestone 6 of Well-off and Well-off is augmented reality ar. It has been almost done now. Chu Yuanxi can experience the effect. However, online content is not just a city treasure, but new content will also be released in the future. VR is also the focus, allowing users to experience the content without leaving home.
VR Siege Lion is a scarce talent. If you can intercept this person, Gu Hongru from Haiyi Fund has helped again, especially the Spatial company, which has to be impressive. It can compose 2D images in a very short time. Whether it is the characters or the environment, there are almost no visual companies in China that can compete with it.
Strictly speaking, the technology could be benchmarked last week, but Chu Yuanxi dug up the backbone. The well-known domestic vision companies basically focused their firepower on algorithms and AI, which are good at beauty and recognition, and spread to security, and take two routes to VR.
Chu Yuanxi really didn't expect that such a small human resources expert would be hidden among investors. If Pu Mingyi had real talent and knowledge, he would be rich and rich when he returned to China to join the startup team as a CTO. His resume was very solid, and he had R&D experience in other similar companies. He worked as a senior architect at spatial.
You should know that senior architects have been put into use as deputy chief engineers in the factory and are responsible for clarifying details and implementing technology. That is definitely not enough to make up for the numbers. The development of the Xiaokang VR project has not yet begun, but it is about to start, and this person is coming at the right time.
Originally, this situation should be like a clog. If it is another technical field, it may not be enough to change to similar resumes, but VR talents are indeed too scarce. As a result, they say that although Ms. Gu’s recommendation, I still want to know about Xiaokang. I have seen the store and downloaded the app and used it. I can say that I have an apparent impression, so I care more about the inner world.
This recruitment, of course, should be called CTO Zhou Mingjun, because Zhou Mingjun's business is VR, and he jumped from last week's technology. But Chu Yuanxi frowned and thought about the fact that he almost refused Cao Xiang back then. It was not easy for Zhou Mingjun to be responsible for several teams alone, so don't make a mess because of this kind of thing.
So Chu Yuanxi simply didn't call any technical personnel because they were all very busy!
The other four management positions are market and operation positions without exception, because Xiaokang will definitely need to start appointing managers from other regions in the second half of the year. So now we have to add talents in advance and then see who is more suitable. Luo Rong, who is currently in charge of bicycle control, is in the pole position.
As a result, the interviews for the four management positions were not big problems. Chu Yuanxi himself had first-class operations, and it was not too easy to meet several markets and operations in person. Another younger generation of VR siege lion was recommended by Zhou Mingjun, and there were no technical problems. However, Pu Mingyi was dissatisfied with the position Chu Yuanxi planned for him: "I'll be a team leader? Is it equivalent to a project manager?"
Chu Yuanxi forgot when the last time the applicant spoke so straightforwardly, and thought to himself that this was your work style cultivated in the United States?
In the video, he scratched his head awkwardly: "There are very few levels of well-off society. On the R&D line, there are CTOs on the project manager. In the future, some organizational structures such as research institutes and then appoint the dean, but now they are definitely not interested in doing those things."
The other side didn't say anything for a long time, Chu Yuanxi felt that it might be considering who is a well-off CTO is like, whether it is awesome than himself. The question is that no one is more awesome, and it is definitely not because he is not awesome enough.
Pu Mingyi is also in his thirties, a man in the tiny world. He should be sensible when looking at his face. Even if he develops good working habits in the United States, he should always understand the minimum office culture, right?
It is very normal for CTO to be inferior to those who joined the company later. Just like the first batch of coders in startups usually write bad codes with better options. The existence of this phenomenon means that the company is getting better and better.
Only talent can be reflected in the value of options, but CTO is definitely not suitable for changing people easily. This position is still a bit special and affects the stability of the company. If you want to change, there must be a reason to change. Some startups have to break up internally. CTO and CTO fight each other to death, and each person will bear part of unlimited joint and several liability. CTO's title has not changed. This is why.
Especially when Zhou Mingjun is diligent in his work and has no faults, even if Cao Xiang is interviewed at this time, and the Xiaokang CSO has been taken over by others, and without a suitable position, Chu Yuanxi cannot replace Zhou Mingjun, let alone someone who is not as good as Cao Xiang. Anyway, if it is more than his resume, Cao Xiang will definitely kill Pu Mingyi in seconds. Pu Mingyi, the paper published by Cao Xiang, should have no chance to publish in this life.
While Chu Yuanxi was thinking, the other side seemed to have completed their psychological preparations and looked up and said, "I appreciate the okr system you just accepted, but the position cannot meet my expectations. I am quite cautious about my career planning. I can't start with the project manager when I return to China. So it's better to stay in the Bay Area."
After hearing this, Chu Yuanxi nodded with certainty because this situation is indeed common. At this time, what is most suitable for Pu Mingyi is to imitate many entrepreneurs who are ahead, and technical personnel like him come forward to form a team, and then start a business from scratch. This way, his value can be maximized, not reflected at this moment, but in the process of entrepreneurship.
Moreover, Chu Yuanxi is really optimistic about his realization of value. The domestic VR industry is really a little stronger than the desert, and the gap with international leading companies is quite large. But what can be pursued is the number of talents and excellent companies in the entire industry, or the atmosphere and soil, not the technical gap.
In this case, it is equivalent to the domestic smartphone industry in 2009. It aims to be a solution integrator and there is no technical gap. So what is missing? A Rebs is missing.
Rebs himself is a god-level coder. Even if he is not good at technically, at least he can find someone, which should be enough. Then there is the ability to form a disk. With Rebs' status and connections, the disk-setting is also a small case, so Xiaomi came out without much effort.
Now Pu Mingyi definitely does not have Rebs' ability to form a game, and he may not even be as good as Rebs' technically, but it's better to be enough.
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi passed the logic with a super fast brain. Objectively speaking, even the opportunity like Xiaomi is not a thousand years old. Similar track conditions and similar entrepreneurial abilities are rare, but they have been there in the past and will still appear in the future. However, even if similar opportunities appear, Chu Yuanxi knows that he may not be able to seize them, because most of them are fleeting.
Take Pu Mingyi for example. Now he has discovered the opportunity, so it is difficult for others to seize this opportunity. After he communicates in a small circle, he should come to a conclusion within a week, either he will either make a single shot in the angel round or form a game to join together, but that's the case.
So if you can catch it, you have to catch it, as long as it is certain it is an opportunity. Of course, Pu Mingyi and Rebs can't compare with him. Technically, there is definitely no position in Rebs as a domestic coder in the past, let alone management, but he is a skilled and strong entrepreneurial person, which is enough.
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi asked to the other party's surprise: "Actually, what you want to start a business the most is, right? But you have the ability but no experience, and have no connections, so you want to get in a circle, right? Let's be sincere and don't consider whether you are well-off or not, just consider your personal career development, right?"
The straightforwardness of this question is even greater than that of Pu Mingyi just now, and there are actually two ways to understand it in this context, and it is a world of difference.
However, Pu Mingyi is really a straight-minded person. After hearing this, Bei'er didn't even call him: "Yes, I know Gu Hongru, and she still refuses to marry me."
Chu Yuanxi almost spit out a sip of water. Is this related to whether she marry you or not? But he really got the other party's thinking pattern, thinking it was for investment? Do you, a scumbag, equate financing with feelings? But even if you are a Gu Hongru, she should not invest in you! She is a very professional investor.
After gasping for breath, Chu Yuanxi said: "It's hard to deal with this matter, mainly because I don't know whether your personality is suitable for starting a business. It's easy to deal with it. I'll just help you form a market? I'll invest in you."
This investment is very risky, because even if he has enough ability, the founder's personality has a great impact on the company. If Pu Mingyi is a co-founder, it doesn't matter, such as Zhu Chi's personality and Jiaotu's personality, it has little impact on Baren. But if he wants to be a founder and be the boss, it will be more troublesome if his personality is not suitable for starting a business.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why he cannot invest from Gu Hongru. People know him, so they dare not suppress him. Of course, there is another possibility that he really has no money, which is also the main difficulty for various investment institutions during this period.
But Chu Yuanxi dared not be braver than Gu Hongru, but richer than Gu Hongru... The size of Haiyi's mother fund is not as large as Baren's cash, so why should he be afraid of being too bad?
This is an investment in a scenario similar to Xiaomi in 2009. The track size may be much worse than that of smartphones, but the competition is not that fierce. Comprehensive evaluation of the environment, the market and people's conclusions are similar. What's more, it is only more difficult than technology, and mobile phones may be easier.
Xiaomi can go public and get a market value of 300 billion, and it is also excellent to divide it by ten.
So the question is, in 2009, if Rebs had only ability but no status and connections at that time, what would investors choose?
Investors are not happy to jump up? Because Rebs has a strong connection, he does not need investors to intervene too early, and they can find money and people themselves. If not, then it is the stage for investors to perform?
Moreover, VR startups can't use as much money as mobile phones. The total amount of Angel Wheel and A Wheel is about 150 million. Chu Yuanxi calculated a series of price numbers at a very fast speed.
Pu Mingyi looked confused through the screen, "You voted for me? Why did you vote for me?"
"Make money, I invest in you. If you do it, I won't make a fortune?" Chu Yuanxi said that he also asked. If you don't like you, don't think you may be able to do it. Who is betting on you?
"But you want my shares."
"Nonsense, I don't want your interest." Chu Yuanxi's heart roared by ten thousand mud horses, and finally understood why the other party emphasized that Gu Hongru refused to marry him. It turned out that it was really important. What they wanted was not feelings but marriage!
Pu Mingyi started scratching his head, "Yes, yes, I just lacked an interest-free loan."
"Then I really have to pay silence for the VR industry in the country. It's just a matter of interest-free loan, and a celebrity startup is still pregnant!"
"Hahahaha, you're right! It seems I have to give up something."
"No, no, you give up less and get more. What you lack is not an interest-free loan, but a brain." Chu Yuanxi was quite familiar with Pu Mingyi's characteristics, and he couldn't help but speak directly: "You are a mentally retarded in the eyes of normal people, do you understand? You can use genius to be self-affirm, but normal people cannot cooperate with you. If you find a companion like this, you can't even find two legs."
"Yes, this is indeed a problem. So, compared to money, I lack the ability to form a disk?"
