Before The College Entrance Examination, My Life Was Gamified

Chapter 148 Youtube's A-Round Financing Plan

Lack of funds is a problem that any enterprise must face in its rapid development.

Now, there are two roads before Li Bai.

First: Get a loan from a bank.

It is not difficult to operate a bank loan in the name of Makino Technology or TT Antivirus Company.

Take the repayment of the loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as an example. Su Qi called Li Bai twice in three days to ask Li Bai if he wanted to handle the loan business. His tone was almost like that of a complaining woman.

For banks, lending to a high-quality company is a good business that guarantees income during droughts and floods.

Although there are still hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends held by employees of Makino Technology in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, those funds are simply a drop in the bucket for the acquisition of Marvel.

Moreover, Li Bai does not plan to use employees' equity dividends.

One must have principles in doing things. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will do great harm to Li Bai's personal reputation.

In fact, Li Bai is not inclined to seek bank loans.

After all, these loans are used to acquire foreign companies, and in the words of Big Brother Wang, they are "asset transfers".

Li Bai doesn't want to wait until his own industry is exposed in the future, and inexplicably bear this kind of reputation.

So there is only the second way to go, and that is to use YouTube to raise funds.

Today's YouTube is considered the highest-quality asset in the eyes of major investment banks around the world. Although it has already reached a considerable scale, it is unlikely that the stock will explode after listing, but the advantage is that the risk is small.

If you are steady, you will have three to five times the income, and it is definitely a business that makes no money.

Moreover, Li Bai also intends to gradually sell YouTube’s shares and withdraw from its dominant position before Millikin’s official action. Otherwise, Li Bai has no hope of winning against the official, and it is very likely that it will be nothing.

Lu Yao had just entered the house at this moment, and saw Li Bai lying in the living room writing and drawing, so she secretly stood behind Li Bai.

"Acquisition of Marvel, YouTube Series A financing`#?"

A familiar voice came from behind, okay, Li Bai admitted that he was still taken aback.

"Yes, although MGM has been successfully acquired, if this company wants to develop rapidly, it must make drastic reforms. In the film industry, no matter how you reform, you cannot do without the content of the film itself."

Li Bai pulled Lu Yao to sit beside him: "On the surface, I don't have much relationship with MGM. At most, I'm an old acquaintance with the president of Wood, Orfila, so I can't help MGM all the time. Mei wrote the script, because I also have my own dark horse film company, so the best way is to acquire a company that provides movie content. "Marvel is the best choice at present."

Lu Yao naturally knew what Li Bai said was very reasonable, but are superheroes really suitable to be put on the big screen?

"But this kind of superhero doesn't seem to be popular in the market."

Lu Yao tilted her head: "In the "Superman" series, the first two are relatively popular, but the third and fourth have been criticized by the audience, and "Batman and Robin" is even more negative. .”

Li Bai nodded. In fact, he couldn't figure it out. They are all superheroes of Millican, but DC just can't do Marvel.

It was just a ghost.

"So I set my sights on Marvel. Compared with DC's comics, Marvel is more systematic, and it is easy to shoot a Marvel movie universe. As long as you find the right entry point, you will never fail."

Now that he has decided to acquire Marvel, Li Bai naturally has a filming plan, and the first film must be "Iron Man".

And Li Bai's plan is to directly propose the concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the movie "Iron Man".

There will be no small interaction between each character, including "Spider-Man".

Li Bai put down the pen in his hand: "It's just that Marvel's Stan Lee's asking price is too high, and he needs 2.5 billion US dollars to sell Marvel.

The ability to reset the system is really scary. Originally, Marvel had changed bosses, but it abruptly returned to Stan Lee.

Although it was also on the verge of bankruptcy, the situation was much better than in 2001 in the previous life.

It is said to be 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, but it actually includes 2 billion U.S. dollars in liabilities.

Even if Marvel is sold, Stan Lee can only get 500 million US dollars.

"Is it so expensive?" Lu Yao knew that Li Bai just bought MGM for 1.7 billion US dollars, and now he is really poor and white.

"It's okay, I plan to start YouTube's A round of financing." Li Bai smiled slightly, comforting his little girlfriend.

"But didn't you say you have to wait until YouTube's valuation reaches 35 billion US dollars before starting financing?"

It is not a good deal to lose 5 billion US dollars just like that.

Li Bai pinched Lu Yao's face: ". "Although the current valuation given by the investment banks is 30 billion US dollars, it is not impossible to rise to 35 billion US dollars."

In the eyes of investment banks, YouTube is operating very well, and there is nothing to say about advertising fees, the sharing fees of those Internet celebrities, profit points and profits.

It is definitely a company with a perfect ecological chain.

This kind of company hardly needs outside investment, unless there is a bottleneck in development.

And YouTube, which has just launched a large number of Internet celebrities, seems to have broken through the bottleneck, so it doesn't need investment.

But Li Bai understands that no matter how many Internet celebrities are launched, it will not have a qualitative change on YouTube.

Building streaming media is the direction of YouTube in the future.

Li Bai continued: "Firstly, YouTube's second development bottleneck is coming, I need to cooperate with MGM in a legitimate way, and secondly, the acquisition of Man (good, good) Weiwei needs a lot of money."

Right after seeing Lu Yao, Li Bai already had a financing plan.

That is to find a wood investment company to act as the trustee.

The recent news that Wood Corporation has acquired MGM has caused a lot of excitement in Millikin.

If Wood acquires a part of YouTube at this time and launches a cooperation plan, it will definitely be a good thing for MGM.

Moreover, cooperating with wood is equivalent to cooperating with MGM, which is also a great boost to YouTube's next streaming media route.

With YouTube, a visionary investor, YouTube's valuation can definitely go up to a higher level.

At that time, it will be a matter of course to cheat a wave of investment companies.

Now we only need to plan how to operate in order to maximize the benefits. .
