Chapter 49 Successful Prediction
The result was that Lei Jun refused to accept the challenge. What do you want me to guarantee? I don't want to do only the guarantee business, especially after knowing the trump cards of Chen Yuanguang and the others. How can I only make the hard-earned money of guarantee from such a free business?

Any Internet company will get involved in financial business after it grows in scale. The financial business of many second-tier Internet companies is even better than their main business. For example, 360 Finance's revenue and profits exceeded 2019 itself as early as 360.

Xiaomi's financial business is even more massive. While other Internet companies are still doing traffic-driven personal loan business, Xiaomi's Xiaomi Finance has begun to frantically obtain licenses, including third-party payment, banking, insurance, financing guarantee, commercial factoring and other fields.

Xiaomi Finance is an all-round business that engages in all financial businesses that can make money.

Lei Jun meant that they should go directly to Xinwang Bank for the loan, and then Tianxing Technology would act as the guarantor. In addition, they wanted a portion of the investment share. The package plan proposed by Lei Jun hoped to gain a return of more than 20%.

Xiaomi's financial business is all under the umbrella of Tianxing Technology, including Tianxing's establishment of Hong Kong's second virtual bank, also called Tianxing Bank. If Tianxing Bank did not have the authority to conduct business in the Mainland, Lei Jun would have wanted to contact Tianxing directly for the bank.

Lin Jia didn't want to waste time. 20 points is 20 points. Instead of arguing with Lei Jun about the profit of these few points, it would be better to get this matter done as soon as possible. The two sides roughly agreed on the terms in two days.

The bigger the deal, the faster it is negotiated. The smaller the deal, the more likely both parties are to haggle over every little detail, because the bosses of big deals can make the final decision directly and they won't care too much about the gains and losses in the battle.

For example, China was awarded the Jakarta-Bandung Railway in Indonesia, a project with a total investment of US$55 billion, and the deal was finalized in just one week.

Lin Jia felt the same way after being influenced by these things. It would be a big loss if Tencent refused to do the deal because of these gains and losses.

In the end, Lin Jia's film and television investment company obtained a loan of 20 million yuan from Xinwang Bank at a cost of more than 2.5% of the fixed capital cost.

Then the transaction was successfully completed with Tencent.

“Fortunately, the only thing Jenny did right was not to sell the subsequent IP of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur together, and the priority for subsequent IP adaptation is still in our hands.

This is a blessing in disguise." Mark thought as he read his subordinates' summary report on the matter.

"How do you know that I didn't leave it for them on purpose?" Chen Yuanguang asked Lin Jia why he didn't buy the subsequent copyright this time, and Lin Jia replied.

Chen Yuanguang was puzzled: "Why do you leave it to them on purpose? The success of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2 is almost certain, and the value of this series' IP should rise accordingly."

Lin Jia said: "This is called surrounding three sides and leaving one side in the military strategy. Tencent has huge traffic and energy. No matter what we do in the future, there is room for cooperation. There is no need to offend them to death.

Moreover, we have taken over all of Past Events in Kuala Lumpur at once this time, and who knows what holes they might have left unfilled. If the release of the film during the Lunar New Year holiday is delayed, we will be the ones who suffer the loss.

Leaving the subsequent IP development to them gives them hope that the higher the box office this time, the higher the value of the IP in their hands will be, and they will help us with publicity.

Another very important point is that the IP value of Kuala Lumpur Past is built on you, especially after this national event, this point has become more and more obvious, Tencent will not fail to understand this, and it will be easy for us to increase our subsequent investment share. "

After Lin Jia helped Chen Yuanguang sort out the pros and cons bit by bit, Chen Yuanguang had a new understanding of Lin Jia's business operation. Before, he knew that the other party's family was rich, but this kind of wealth was only a perceptual understanding and material perception. In fact, there was not much sense of ability. We were all in school and took public electives together. You were better at research and analysis, and I was better at data analysis. Chen Yuanguang felt that there was no essential difference.

Including when he goes out to play and in daily life, Lin Jia is particularly concerned about other people's store turnover rate, store model, payback period, etc. He often talks about this with Chen Yuanguang when they have meals. Chen Yuanguang thinks that Lin Jia is just talking big.

Only after these two business negotiations and operations did Chen Yuanguang realize that the other party had very strong business capabilities and acumen. For someone so young to have such a strong acumen could only be the result of innate influence rather than acquired hard work.

Moreover, if you start your own business through hard work, it will take many years to understand that you cannot take all the profits, and you must leave enough profits for upstream and downstream companies.

This is like Japan has registered all the patents in the field of hydrogen energy, so that the largest producers and consumers, China and America, simply refuse to play with it.

Japan is the type that wants to take all the profits, which causes others to simply not play with it. No matter how many patents you have, it will be useless.

From a macro perspective, America's establishment of the global economic order was based on its willingness to distribute dividends to its younger brothers, and its actual control over Europe for so many years was also achieved through the Marshall Plan.

The Gates Foundation's recruitment of Chen Yuanguang with an annual salary of one million dollars has come to an end. The whole incident has once again refreshed netizens' admiration for Chen Yuanguang's ability. Chief scientist, this title sounds very impressive.

The salary is indeed worthy of the title of chief, and netizens can't help but sigh that the life of this talented person is like cheating.

As for the transaction with Tencent, it was hidden under the surface without much fanfare.

Moreover, even after the movie is released, the producer is still Tencent. It’s just that the investment income has been transferred, and the producers will not change.

On the other hand, as we approach the end of the year, which is winter, the virus will spread faster and the virus mutation will also accelerate, with different types of strains emerging in various places.

"Wright, I sent you the sequencing results of the Alpha strain found in England in September. All the mutation points are within the predictions of your model.

The sequencing results of the newly emerged Beta strain in South Africa have also come out, and the mutation point is also within your prediction range.

Pfizer and Bayer have both started full clinical trials of broad-spectrum vaccines based on your research results, and they are very confident in broad-spectrum vaccines. "Levitt seemed very excited on the phone. The Beta strain found in South Africa once again verified the model, which gave him hope for the end of the virus.

For them, making some contribution to humanity can be said to be a high-level need, and the dopamine secretion brought about by its satisfaction is incomparable to anything else.

Coupled with the pandemic, Levitt has too many elderly colleagues around him who are overwhelmed.

He is old, and he doesn't think he can survive the long COVID situation if the virus continues to spread.
