Chapter 2107

Looking at Andre who gradually calms down, and Matthew who has completely calmed down, Langley just joined the discussion.

"You are all right. Both advantages and disadvantages exist objectively. Everything in the world is the same. We can't just accept the advantages and reject the disadvantages. The interdependence of advantages and disadvantages is the essence of everything in the world. In the end, we can only choose a relatively correct decision. Your positions and views are right. Even if I participate, the situation will not change. So, let's let you express your ideas, then calm down and see if there is a more suitable choice. "

After a round of talking, it's all rubbish. But all of you are old friends of lanli. Even rubbish can capture the hidden thread.

Andre calmed down. "You mean, you've made a decision?"

"It's not a decision, it's a way of thinking." As soon as lanli's words came out, he saw that Andre turned a white eye: he was used to dealing with the media and dealing with guests. As time goes by, his speech became routine, which was a bit hard to get around. This is why lanli needs to play crossword puzzles. He needs his brain to get rid of that mode.

Andre finally threw the chocolate in his mouth.

"Matthew's consideration is correct, he is too dangerous, we can not determine his real purpose now, and the distribution of power is bound to be a potential problem." Seeing Andre say again, Langley stopped him one step ahead of time and cast his eyes, "similarly, Andre's point of view is also right. It's really hard to miss such an opportunity. Compared with Wall Street, he may have more possibilities and can give it a try."

Andre didn't speak.

Matthew chewed his words carefully. "Do you mean, don't make a decision for the time being, observe first?"

"Yes, it is not." Lanli showed a smile. "In fact, it's very simple. We agree now. It seems too urgent. He may lose the initiative. He is an old fox - even a jackal. He will never miss the chance. It's not difficult to swallow Sisyphus and set up his own house; But we refuse now, not to mention whether it will hurt the peace and set up an enemy. It seems too hasty to just talk about the current situation of Sisyphus. We need financial support. It is he who has seen through the deep meaning behind my return to London in March, so that he can extend his olive branch. It is obviously not wise for us to refuse so simply. "

Matthew and Andre are both in their own thoughts.

Eaton took over the subject and asked, "do you mean we'll wait and see?"

"Waiting has two meanings. On the one hand, it means waiting for Roman. If he is really interested, it will not end there. In the future, there will be opportunities to meet, or even special cooperation meetings, two or three times at a time. Cooperation is far from that simple - I hope that he will throw 100 million pounds into hall VC and then let it go. This is much easier, but obviously, It's impossible. " Lan Li's tone remained relaxed, far from the anxiety and irritability in his imagination.

Eaton pauses for a moment, but finds that both Andre and Matthew have no intention to speak. After getting the affirmative look from blue Li, he still asks, "well, what if he's not interested? Give up after two conversations? Or did you forget after that? "

"Ha, that's the end." Lanli's understated reply made Eaton choke, but he found that he could not refute it, and finally he had to change the topic, "so, what's the other meaning?"

"We're also exploring." It was Matthew who said, "we need to seek cooperation from Berlin and Venice, and we can also seek assistance from other sources of funding, just as blue March did in London."

At this time, Matthew also understood the real intention of Langley, and he and Andre were very impressed. "In fact, if we regard Roman as an ordinary investor, just like Paul, just like Ryan, just like us, then the matter is very simple. Langley is actively seeking more funds to inject into hall venture capital. If we can add another Roman, This is an ideal state; But the problem now is that Roman is too strong. His capital is far beyond our control, so the balance of power is broken, which leads to worries. "

"Well, if we can seek more capital injection, just like the large shareholders and small shareholders of the consortium, we can hold the rights in our own hands, and then seek the support of more small shareholders. At that time, even if Roman joins, we will still be able to maintain our autonomy and voice. The most important thing is to find other sources of funds and prove to Roman that he is not our only choice, and we are not his only choice, so there is more room for negotiation and discussion. "

After that, Matthew casts his eyes at lanli. Andre and Eaton also ask lanli's opinion with their eyes: is this his abacus?

In fact, as long as they calm down a little, they can understand. Lanli's advantage is that he always regards himself as an outsider in the business field, so he can be relatively neutral and objective; They are all insiders, but they don't have as clear a vision as lanli. But in the implementation stage, they are more suitable than lanli.

"There's another reason." Lenley did not deny it, which is tantamount to approving Matthew's conjecture, "do you know how much Roman invested in Chelsea every year?"

"100 million pounds? I can't remember the exact number, but that's about it. " Andre gave the answer, the words to understand, suddenly said, "Oh! How could I forget about it. "

"Football and movies are two different things, especially the establishment of online streaming media," he said

"For football clubs, it's incredible to invest 100 million pounds a year. Their market value may be billions of pounds, but they don't have so much liquidity. That's why Roman can rise instantly after accepting Chelsea. He has plenty of cash, just smash it with cash - as for the details and culture, That's the long project after that. "

"But for online streaming media, we need a huge library of funds to support us continuously. It's like a bottomless hole. Before making profits, we need to invest continuously. That's why Andre thinks we need Roman. In the first two years and the first three years, we are always short of cash. The problem is that Roman's investment in Chelsea is 100 million pounds a year. He can see the results directly in just one season, but the Don Quixote channel can't. how much is he willing to invest? Or how much risk is he willing to take? "

To put it bluntly, ￡ 100 million is a year's transfer fee for Chelsea, and four years of 400 million will create a new elite; However, in the field of film, the investment of any commercial blockbuster needs 100 million US dollars, and now many works have exceeded 200 million US dollars at one stroke.

It's two things.

Langley is going to slow down, wait and observe, because he needs to consider, and so is Roman. Roman has a very poor understanding of the film industry. After waiting for in-depth understanding, how much investment is needed in the first stage, how much is needed in the second stage, how much is needed in the third stage, and how much is needed to get the return, These are all issues that need to be discussed in depth, and Roman is not likely to be willing to invest even after he understands all of them.

That's the difference between Langley and Roman.

Roman is a businessman. He needs to operate and manage. He needs to see the blueprint. Most importantly, he needs to see the profit. He hopes to make more and more money

However, lanli is an actor. When he runs Sisyphus pictures, the profit is certainly a part of the reason, but it is not the root cause. This also means that even if the scale can not be expanded, even if the investment reaches a certain level, it will be deadlocked, even if the profit does not meet the expectation, or even if it is a loss, he can accept it.

So even though he has only the first stage of start-up funds on hand, Langley has drawn up a blueprint for Don Quixote channel, not even considering how to expand the blueprint in the future - perhaps, he didn't even think of expanding the scale.

Roman should have a hard time understanding Langley's "strategy". If it fails, if it fails, if it loses money, if it goes bankrupt, what should be done? Roman is not afraid of risks, but he needs enough interests to let him take risks; Blue Li doesn't need it.

This is the essential difference.

Lan Li jumped out of the business framework and gave an interpretation and understanding from the essential point of view, but just seized the lifeblood of all the problems.

Andre sighed. "We're worried."

Even if Roman sincerely hopes to cooperate with Langley, from the expression of his will to the achievement of cooperation, there are countless possibilities lurking in the truth. Their arguments are correct, but they all point to the result too simply and rudely, and ignore many factors that affect the result.

Roman Abramovich, the name of Roman Abramovich and the powerful wealth behind him, make Andre and Matthew's views inevitably limited; On the contrary, Lan Li, who is outside, can see it more clearly.

But... "You can tell us directly!" Andre complained, "you see us arguing here like fools, and then pretending to be some transcendent angel, doing crossword puzzles beside us, you know? It's just too hard! "

"It's not the first day you met me." As a matter of course, Langley admitted Andre's "accusation" without any intention to defend himself. In fact, even if he stopped, Andre and Matthew would not agree with it. After all, they still need to figure it out for themselves, which made Andre silent for a moment. Then he continued, "I finally know now, Why didn't we keep in touch after graduating from high school, you arrogant, God, how did Matthew tolerate you? "

Matthew, who was sitting with a gun lying on his back, was very calm. "Andre, have you ever heard that only people with low self-esteem think that other people's self-confidence is an attack on themselves?"

"..." Andre raised his hand and flew the pillow on the sofa towards Matthew.
