Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the money must be in place.

After talking to several founders of Liang Jing Studio in several capital companies such as Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital.

It’s November 3rd.

The five founders of Liang Jing Studio came to see Fang Xing together and wanted to discuss further cooperation.

Fang Xing is still interested in Liang Jing Studio, let's see how the negotiation can go.

"Mr. Fang, we have discussed it several times. This time we are here together. We want to talk to Mr. Fang about the acquisition." Liang Jing took the initiative to initiate the topic.

"Tell me what you think." Fang Xing asked them to talk first.

One of the animators, who was mainly responsible for coloring, said first: "Well, in the past month, more than a dozen companies have talked to me, and the purchase price offered has exceeded 100 million."

Another founder added: "Of course, we still hope to cooperate with Ark Culture."

Liang Jing saw that several colleagues talked about money too directly when they opened their mouths, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Fang, we want to produce good animations more. We can discuss the acquisition plan later. If it is the acquisition of Ark Culture, it will be better than

Other capital companies are much lower."

Fang Xing had a smile on his lips and nodded noncommittally: "What else?"

The colorist named Wang Hongyuan immediately answered: "Actually, the purchase price of 100 million is not much, and the few of us only share 10 to 20 million.

"Given the performance of "Spirited Away", most investment companies are willing to pay this price, and those investment companies also promised to give us options after the acquisition.

"So, if Ark Culture wants to acquire our studio, it should be more sincere."

In fact.

Two months ago, Liang Jing Studio was broke.

At that time, Liang Jing Studio was said to be valued at 30 million, because the investment in "Spirited Away" was 30 million.

At that time, Fang Xing was preparing to acquire Liang Jing Studio, and offered double the price to 50 million for 80% of the shares.

The price offered at that time was already a very high premium.

When talking to Liang Jing, Liang Jing was willing.

But the other founders of Liangjing Studio were unwilling, thinking the price was too low, and wanted to bet that the studio's valuation would rise after "Spirited Away" was released.

In fact.

Fang Xing knew very well that after the release of "Spirited Away", the valuation of Liang Jing Studio would definitely increase.

There are already investment companies offering hundreds of millions to Liang Jing Studio.

Before the release of "Spirited Away", Ark Culture's valuation was only 500 million, and this was despite having two hit TV series and dozens of chart-topping songs.

Such a comparison makes Liangjing Studio’s valuation more like a bubble.

After listening to their requests, Fang Xing already understood what they were thinking.

After all, the other founders of Liangjing Studio want to get more money.

Because "Spirited Away" became the box office champion during the National Day season, the money received by Liang Jing Studio was actually not much.

Although Liang Jing Studio is the producer of "Spirited Away", the investor and producer are both Fang Xing.

Not only that, the script was also given by Fang Xing.

Liangjing Studio is only responsible for producing animations, and the 30 million investment in the early production of animations is the remuneration of the studio employees.

In other words, Liang Jing Studio was paid.

As for whether the animated movie produced will be a hit or a blockbuster, it has nothing to do with them.

If "Spirited Away" fails at the box office after its release, Fang Xing will lose more than 100 million.

If we really lost that much money, Liang Jing Studio does not need to pay any money.

Similarly, "Spirited Away" made money, and Liang Jing Studio naturally did not get a share of the box office.

Of course, Fang Xing still gave them a three-point reward, which amounted to tens of millions.

A few founders and employees can get millions if they share a cent.

Now, there is capital coming in, and they want to acquire Liang Jing Studio, and the asking price has already exceeded 100 million. If the acquisition is completed, then the founders of the studio can each get another 20 million.

Of course they don't want to let go of this much money.

After hearing their request, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Actually, two months ago, I offered 50 million, and I had already calculated the premium after the release of "Spirited Away."

"So, my current plan is still the same, 50 million, 80% of the shares, and the remaining 20% ​​for you."

Colorist Wang Hongyuan frowned and said: "Mr. Fang, that's not what happened. Other investment companies have already offered a price of 100 million, and you just cut it in half. This is too cruel."

Fang Xing spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I decided this matter long ago. I also believe that someone is willing to give you 100 million, and I also wish you better development in the future."

At this point, it is obvious that there is nothing left to talk about.

The founders of Liang Jing Studio did not have other options, so they politely said goodbye and left.

Although the acquisition was not negotiated, the two parties successfully collaborated on "Spirited Away" and still have a good relationship, so their attitudes are very friendly.

After several founders of Liang Jing Studio left, Fang Xing sent a WeChat message to Liang Jing, asking him to come back in the afternoon.

In the afternoon.

Fang Xing saw Liang Jing and asked a question: "Are your thoughts still the same as they were two months ago?"

"Yes, I still hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Fang." Liang Jing nodded.

"Okay, I've asked people to inspect several animation companies. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you and the person in charge of the company's investment department will go to look at those animation companies, and then decide which one to buy. Then you are going to take the team to the new company

Go to work." Fang Xing arranged his work directly.

"Okay!" Liang Jing knew that it would be difficult for his studio's entrepreneurial team to continue, so he made a decisive decision.
Chapter completed!
