Chapter 488 Ali becomes a shareholder

After ten days of wandering around, Qin Xiaobao and others returned to the Magic City. His brother did not go to Xiangjiang and followed him back.

Because, there is a press conference to be held.

Liu Minghua lived up to expectations, or Alibaba was really optimistic about Kiwi. After five days of negotiations, the final result was to purchase 8.5% of the shares with 100 million yuan.

Yes, I haven’t seen it. I paid double the price and the shares are 0.5% less than my brother’s.

Back in Shanghai, the bosses held a meeting with the company's top management to understand the process.

At the beginning, Alibaba was very ambitious. It was possible that he was testing the bottom line and asked for 25% of the shares for 200 million.

Liu Minghua naturally refused to agree, and then fell into a long tug-of-war, with discussions lasting more than eight hours every day. Both sides kept using their respective advantages and arguing to maximize their own interests.

Sometimes there is no achievement for a whole day, and sometimes there is rapid progress.

The policy adopted by Mr. Liu is simple but effective.

He took out the development history of Kiwi. It was not easy for the company in the early stage. There was no capital and no helpers. With Qin Xiaobao and Xiang Yang, there was only one artist. After three years of growth, he successfully signed several artists, not to mention the film.

There is no need to say more.

The soul of Kiwi is Qin Xiaobao. There is no need to doubt or prove this.

As long as Qin Xiaobao is in the company, his prospects are limitless.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is an ambitious film, and it is the right time for Alibaba to invest in it. If the film becomes a hit after its release, I won't be surprised if the price doubles.

Alibaba’s staff are also not vegetarians.

They don't deny that Qin Xiaobao is talented, but when manpower is exhausted, what if Qin Xiaobao's film fails, and what if he can't write a good script in the future?

Isn’t it also a fatal blow to kiwi fruit?

In response to this matter, Liu Minghua and Qin Xiaobao asked for a backup photo of cloud songs. He was one of the few people who knew that the latter had stock. After Ali saw such a long list of song demos, he decided to adjourn the meeting.

In this way, we kept bargaining and negotiating, and finally reached a consensus.

Alibaba is not short of money and is rich, but this is not the absolute reason why RMB 100 million subscribed for 8.5 shares.

Capital is smart, so such actions naturally have profound meaning.

“I think Alibaba did this mainly for two reasons,” Liu Minghua concluded: “First, to build momentum and push Kiwi to a new level, at least to the level of second-tier brokerage companies.

This is for other interested investors to see. Take a look, I, Alibaba, can only buy so much with 100 million, and others will have to do whatever they want.

Because as long as "Let the Bullets Fly" is released and gets high box office, they will definitely make a profit without losing money, so during the promotion period at the end of the year, Alibaba will definitely do its best to help.

Second, we must be optimistic about Mr. Qin’s future potential and give Mr. Zhang face. The company has developed to this day, and it is Mr. Qin who has led us all the way forward. With Mr. Zhang joining us, we are even more powerful. Even though we are a behemoth here in Alibaba,

Don’t dare to look down on us either.”

Bang bang bang, applause sounded, Qin Xiaobao nodded while applauding.

Liu Minghua said it was easy, but the process must have been difficult, but they did it, and the results were unexpectedly good, even if he was not satisfied.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your efforts during this period. I said before, if you can satisfy us," Qin Xiaobao said, looking at his brother and Xiang Yang, they both gave a thumbs up: "Obviously, you have done it, and it is still beyond the mark."

It went as planned and I can't say anything bad about it.

So, Xiaoming, go call Ms. Finance Xia."

A minute later, Ms. Xia entered the room, holding a notice of praise in her hand. The main message was that Liu Minghua had made outstanding contributions to Kiwi and was awarded a special reward of 1 million. The other four senior executives received bonuses of 500,000, and they would receive bonuses of 500,000 today.

It will be put on the card.

Bang bang bang bang, applause rang out again.

Liu Minghua and others were naturally happy. Their bonuses had doubled and they were received in time. Isn't this great?

The notice was also distributed to the entire company, making employees lament that the trenches were inhumane.

Let me ask you, which employee wouldn't like to be a little more involved in his or her own company? Although it has nothing to do with him for the time being, as long as he is still in the company and willing to work hard, there will always be opportunities.

Furthermore, cooperating with Alibaba means that you can guess a little bit about everything. Not only the employees, but also the artists under it are very happy.

They have one more boss, one more powerful financial backer, and the road ahead will naturally be much easier.

Kiwi held two consecutive shareholder press conferences within a year, which shocked the industry.

This time it was not a celebrity, but Ali, which made many colleagues feel really nervous.

If Alibaba joins, even if it only holds less than 10% of the shares, it cannot be underestimated. Maybe in a few years, it will be a listed company again.

The wolf is coming!

The reporters present not only came from the entertainment industry, but also from finance and practical affairs to join in the fun.

People can't help but lament that if Macaque Pick is a listed company, with such a move, it must be a daily limiter.

After experts in various fields saw relevant reports, various analyzes followed.

As a result, some people and companies became nervous.

Alibaba's investment in Kiwi seems to have nothing to do with others, but this is not the case.

Most artists have contracts with their agencies. Even if they are big names and are friends with their bosses, if they get along for a long time, they will have some conflicts or dissatisfaction.

This means that either they will change jobs, or the company will have to spend more money to keep the artists.

Even if Kiwi had his brother join before, in the eyes of insiders, it was still a third-tier company, and there was still a big gap in resources compared to others.

But Alibaba's strong entry means that Alibaba Pictures behind it has become Kiwi's backing. Although it is still not as good as the first-tier big players, it definitely has a second-tier position.

In this way, there is one more reason for artists to join.

Alibaba has sent a signal that the essence of a businessman is to pursue profits. If you are not optimistic about it, you will not be able to pay.

Many people got the message, the press conference was moved, and Kiwi received more than thirty phone calls in one day.

Some are very clear that they want to leave. As long as Kiwi is willing to accept, anything can be discussed.

Some come with an understanding attitude and want to know how the company plans for their own type of artists and what they will focus on in the future.

Among them, there are many first-line stars.

Of course, all these contacts were conducted confidentially, and no information was disclosed to the outside world.

However, the relevant companies saw the signs. Artists who were about to renew their contracts suddenly became hesitant. Artists who originally wanted to leave became more determined in their inner thoughts and became depressed and depressed.

But even if they guessed that it was related to kiwi fruit, they had no choice but to resort to tenderness, affection, and money.
