    That is to say, with this amount of funds, when Jiang Zhiqiang said before that Li Mingbao was allocating funds, he was confident that he could survive the period of weak funds with more than one million US dollars, and he was not afraid that DreamWorks' capital chain would be broken.  Of course, even if the existing capital chain is broken, DreamWorks is not afraid. With DreamWorks¡¯ current profits, if they want to get loans in the United States, there will definitely be a large number of bankers lining up to provide loans to DreamWorks.  In the United States, film companies like DreamWorks actually have no debt at all, and they hoard their profits on a large scale. They are definitely high-quality resources.  Not to mention bankers, even those speculators and people on Wall Street are also interested in DreamWorks. They have offered very high prices for DreamWorks shares. According to their statistics, DreamWorks is now  The fixed assets of the company are more than 300 million US dollars, and even the movies produced by DreamWorks are niche movies.  Such a valuation is not low.  You must know that many film companies in Hollywood may not be valued in the hundreds of millions.  Film companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars can also be considered mid-level companies in Hollywood.  Of course, there is also a weird film company in Hollywood. They don't produce many movies themselves, but they rely on their precise vision to pick up movies from other places for screening, and the income is quite good.  The earliest classic representative of this kind of company was Lions Gate.  Of course, Lionsgate doesn¡¯t know where it is now, but there are actually many such film companies in Hollywood.  They may be able to make a living for several years just by relying on one movie, but if they are not careful, they can easily fall out of this circle.  It¡¯s hard to estimate the actual value of something like a leather bag company. Maybe it could earn 200 million U.S. dollars in the first year, but if no films are released in the second year, its value is only a few hundred million dollars.  With tens of thousands of dollars, there is no guarantee that anyone will take over the business, and in the end it will have to go into bankruptcy and liquidation.  Compared with this type of company, although DreamWorks opened not long ago, it immediately stood up because it seized some marginal opportunities. During this period, DreamWorks also continued to increase investment in its business, whether it was  Establish channels, acquire other film companies, or own your own video company. Although these things are not very valuable at the time of acquisition, due to the continuous income from DreamWorks, their prices have also increased.  Earnings are doubled.  This involves finance.  Although Li Mingbao has never thought about listing DreamWorks, and the current DreamWorks is not qualified to be listed, the group of financial speculators on Wall Street have never given up any opportunity to make money, so DreamWorks has a very  Clear production values ??are normal things.  And since the current development of DreamWorks relies on niche themes such as horror films to make money, as long as the following directors do not leave at will, any company that takes over DreamWorks follows the current plan, DreamWorks will continue to make money.  It won't be until this category of films begins to decline and the director's talent dries up that the value of DreamWorks will suddenly drop.  There are people who have ideas about DreamWorks, but up to now they are all just small things. The real bosses have no intention of poaching a few directors to make money for themselves, because the ratio of input and output is not easy to control.  .  "After all, DreamWorks is quite partial. Just poaching one or two people, or a few people, doesn't make much sense at all. Apart from poaching a small piece of meat in the niche film market, no other purpose can be achieved.  But the market for niche movies is not big. If you try to dig out the meat from it, it will be like mosquito legs. For the big guys, the money you make is not as high as the investment.  Therefore, those people are more inclined to poach DreamWorks as a whole instead of just poaching some corners.  Regarding the matter of poaching people, Li Mingbao has received news in Hong Kong, but there are not many companies that have actually taken action. The directors who have been poached so far are only two or three kittens. The real mainstay Craven has not had any  shake.  It's not that he is very loyal to DreamWorks, it's because the price offered by other people is not enough.  He is a mainstay in DreamWorks. That¡¯s because DreamWorks¡¯ main business direction is horror films, but those companies that poach people may not give him such treatment.  In addition, DreamWorks has its own reputation in the horror film market. If it goes elsewhere, this reputation will be lost. It is very difficult for him to create a new path, so he might as well just  In DreamWorks, that can be used to a greater extent.  Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang explain the current situation of DreamWorks to him one by one, Li Mingbao sighed: "Well, the current development scale of DreamWorks has exceeded my imagination. If DreamWorks was just us making money before,  It's a place, but now that it has such a good sign, it's a pity to throw it away. It's not like that in Hollywood.?There is such an opportunity.  Our DreamWorks was able to break into the Hollywood market only by going astray.  But if we put down DreamWorks and try to create such a company in the future, we may not be able to develop to what it is now.  The advantages in Hollywood are not so easy to take advantage of.  So I think even if we need to allocate funds, we can¡¯t allocate so much money at once.  Because DreamWorks itself actually needs to develop vigorously. Only when it reaches scale and reaches a bottleneck will it not need funds.  But now DreamWorks is in the growth stage. If we pull out the nutrients, DreamWorks will encounter a lot of trouble in its growth. Maybe there will be rising stars who can overthrow us. Then DreamWorks¡¯ status  , it will be shaken, and the value of the brand will also shrink.  So I think that even if DreamWorks wants to allocate funds, it cannot allocate all the funds.  The Hong Kong side is still doing well for the time being, but the financial problem can actually be put aside. First develop DreamWorks and implement limited blood transfusions to the Hong Kong side, so that neither aspect will be affected.  " "But Hong Kong is our foundation. In Hollywood, problems may arise if we are not careful, and the losses will be huge.  If, like you, boss, you said, DreamWorks also needs development, it would be equivalent to the empty shell here becoming an entity.  "Although Jiang Zhiqiang is the general manager of DreamWorks, and he built DreamWorks bit by bit, when it comes to relationships, Hong Kong is what he really loves. " He worked so hard to build DreamWorks, but  It is for large-scale blood transfusion in Hong Kong. Although Jiang Zhiqiang is already reluctant to part with this sign, he still knows that the overall situation is important, so DreamWorks has always been positioned as a blood transfusion company, and its own development is actually not too big.  Important. Otherwise, with the current capital of DreamWorks, the real scale would not be what it is now, and Wall Street¡¯s assessment would not be only 300 million US dollars. There has never been a shortage of sudden wealth in the United States.  The film industry. In addition, DreamWorks has embraced Twentieth Century Fox since its establishment. To a large extent, Twentieth Century Fox has given DreamWorks great protection, so DreamWorks is now threatened by external threats.  , In fact, it is not very big. There is no threat from the outside and it is very profitable internally. It would be exaggerated for a company like this to expand. But it has always adhered to the big plan of blood transfusion, so even if DreamWorks develops, it is still under pressure.  Investments are made only as a last resort, just like the video recording market. If this market hadn't been very profitable and had almost become the company's largest source of income, Jiang Zhiqiang would not have continued to expand the scale of the video recording company before, but even if  That¡¯s right, a lot of the company¡¯s video tapes are still being outsourced. ¡°The entity is the entity.  This time, that time.  In the past, we just wanted to make small money here, so of course the DreamWorks brand was not important.  But the problem is that now we have misjudged the value of DreamWorks, and now we naturally have to make the right choice.  Since DreamWorks can make more money in the United States, why should we restrict its development?  You know, for every dollar we invest in DreamWorks, we will get at least five dollars in actual income. With such a 500% return rate, why bother whether the company is in the United States or Hong Kong?  I have been thinking about this issue before. If we invest money in Hong Kong now, the return for one dollar of output may be less than one dollar.  But if you invest here in the United States, you can get five dollars in return for one dollar.  So why do we have to work so hard to make money in Hong Kong instead of really looking at the Hollywood industry as an opportunity for our development?  We have always ignored the issue of return on investment.  But looking back now, I realize that the decision I made before was a bit stupid.  "Li Mingbao said very tangledly. "At the beginning, he never thought about developing truly and steadily in Hollywood, because in his consciousness, it was difficult to develop in Hollywood.  So no matter how much you invest here, you will end up making wedding dresses for others. It is better to stand out in a place that you can control in Hong Kong. Although you may earn less, it is better than being stable and you don't have to worry about too much.  Storm. But recently, Li Mingbao has been thinking about a problem. When it comes to making money secretly, the current speed of making money at DreamWorks is completely incompatible with making money secretly. At least Li Mingbao doesn't know that it is different from DreamWorks.  There are several genuine Hollywood film companies of similar size that are more profitable than DreamWorks. It¡¯s not that the profits of other companies are not as good as DreamWorks, but that there is a huge gap between them and DreamWorks in terms of investment returns.  Movie companies make more money than DreamWorks, which means they invest a lot and the returns are big. But the problem is that Li Mingbao didn't invest much money in DreamWorks at all, not even in DreamWorks.  ownThey are constantly hoarding money instead of pouring money into the film industry.  In this way, the development of DreamWorks is still quite rapid, and now there is not much difference with those old Hollywood mid-level companies. If Li Mingbao invests DreamWorks' own funds in the development of the company, one year later  It is not difficult for DreamWorks to become a large Hollywood film company.
