"As for investment..."

Although one billion US dollars is one zero less than ten billion US dollars, it is paid by Lan Li alone, and he can't support it. What's more, this is only the first stage of investment. With just a single person from Lan Li, he could not create 10 billion US dollars, and the way to build a large company could not rely on personal power.

Otherwise, why do large companies want to be listed?

But if Wall Street capital is introduced, how should the independence and creativity of Sisyphus Pictures be guaranteed?

Taking a step back, suppose Sisyphus Pictures is willing to accept Wall Street Capital, but they don’t have any work other than a "Burst Drummer". The only thing they can rely on is the sign of "Ren Li-Hall". Therefore, as Andre said, Lanly must travel to the financial district of London, to Wall Street in New York, and to Silicon Valley in San Francisco to find more investment support.

How did things get to this point?

Lan Li knew that everything was caused by himself. He also knew that he had already thought about this issue, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity again: he was just an actor, an ordinary person who loved acting and liked acting. It's just an actor, but the development of things is far beyond his ability.

Even if he is reborn, he is not omnipotent.

"Why not consider venture capital funds?" At this moment, Matthew's voice interrupted Lan Li's thoughts. He raised his head and looked at Matthew with a puzzled look. "I'm not talking about looking for venture capital. Fund support means that we create a venture capital company, establish a venture capital fund, and then the venture capital fund will support the subsequent development of Sisyphus Pictures."

"Why do you need to go around such a big circle?" Andy interjected and asked.

Matthew explained, "It's very simple, take the initiative to control. We can treat venture capital funds as a middleman. Externally, they communicate directly with the sources of funds, whether it is Wall Street capital or idle funds, the consequences of the control of interests, They are responsible for the response; internally, they communicate directly with Sisyphus Pictures and let them judge which projects are worth investing in and which ones need to be reconsidered."

"The difference is that all gains, losses and losses are internally digested through venture capital funds as a transit point to isolate Wall Street capital as much as possible, while at the same time ensuring the independence of Sisyphus Pictures to the greatest extent." Matthew said to himself. "Of course, the premise is that the venture capital fund must be created by ourselves."

Things are somewhat winding.

Matthew went on to explain, "Looking at it this way. Actually, my initial thought was, why can't we imitate DreamWorks? We create a company with our own funds, and then run and manage it by ourselves. Lanly is a hand-off shopkeeper, but His bank account is enough to support our project production in the next year, as long as it is not a big project like Interstellar, he can still support it for a while."

Lan Li spread his hands and made a look as if he could be slaughtered: Anyway, his bank account was managed by Matthew.

"Not only Renly and Andre, but Eaton and I can also inject capital. We can all become shareholders, including the Coen brothers and Robert Redford. In fact, they can all participate in Sisyphus Pictures in their own way. Establishing. This is our company, but the reason why things have grown to the current scale is because we want to promote independent film production, right? So why do we still work alone? Our cooperation with Sundance can be More diversified and deeper."

With Matthew's explanation, Andy and Andre's thinking gradually became clear.

"But?" Andy answered.

Matthew nodded and took the conversation, "However, the disadvantage of this is that opinions may be too mixed, and there may be many problems in the distribution of income. We all know how many family businesses or friends start businesses because of this reason And it collapsed. Although we all believe in Lanly now, if the company loses money, will we be able to remain calm? Who knows?"

Andy looked at Lan Li again and said with a smile, "Aren't you sad?" Matthew actually "attacked" Lan Li directly like this, without any scruples.

"I have passed that stage." Lan Li deliberately made an expression of irresistible love.

Matthew rolled his eyes, ignored Renly, and continued, "What's more, as Andre said, the funds we need in the follow-up are very huge, and we can't stop ourselves if we want to grow bigger. DreamWorks is a lesson for us. Therefore, we need a more stable environment. Venture capital funds are now the main choice for self-employment, and it is also the best choice."

"What you mean is to use our funds to set up a venture capital fund, then invest in Sisyphus Pictures, and also invest in our streaming media platform, just like those self-employed technology companies or independent film companies." His thoughts have reached the front of Matthew, and the entire blueprint has gradually come out.

"The only difference is that we invest in ourselves, and then use venture capital funds to manage funds. The capital chain and artistic creation are separated through venture capital funds. The two parts can be relatively independent. At the same time, each Those who participate in the investment, gains and losses can be managed through venture capital funds, and the accounts are clear at a glance. They cannot directly participate in the management and operation of Sisyphus Pictures to reduce all disputes to a minimum of risk."

"If necessary in the future, we can still attract more Wall Street capital injections and joins, but it will still not be affected. Even if Sisyphus Pictures fails and closes, venture capital funds can still survive, and then complete other investments to complete the income. Branch circulation."

Andre’s and Matthew’s ideas fit perfectly together, but Lan Li is still in a cloud of clouds-probably the meaning can be understood, but the specific implementation is very confused. As expected, it is separated like a mountain. Lan Li believes again. I am not comfortable with financial and management work.

Andre turned his head to look at Matthew, "This method is feasible, but the biggest question is: Who should create a venture capital fund? Who should manage it? This is of utmost importance."

First of all, the ability must be outstanding. He needs to think from the standpoint of Sisyphus Pictures, but must remain relatively independent.

Secondly, he must be trustworthy, otherwise he may become the executioner who interrupted Sisyphus Pictures' artistic creation because of interests in the future, because venture capital funds must also consider their own interests, otherwise those investors will turn and leave coldly. .

Finally, you must have experience, on the one hand, venture capital fund management experience, on the other hand, experience in the field of Hollywood movies.

So far, the main work of Sisyphus Films has been their own internal digestion, not to mention Arthur and Matthew, even Alexander Hamilton and Eaton Dormer have been used, but specific management talents must Being a professional, this is definitely not an easy task.

Andre was thinking about whether he should ask Alexander for his opinion.

Matthew said a name, "Renly, what do you think of Robin? I mean, Robin Helzer."

Lan Li was slightly stunned.

Andre didn't know, "Who?"

Lan Li finally joined the topic again, "The fund manager of the Heather-Cross Foundation."

Robin Helzer, like the Crosses, his son suffers from the pain and suffering caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

In fact, Robin is a very, very good fund manager. He is 47 years old this year. He has climbed to a new height on Wall Street. He is in his prime of life and has a prosperous career. His management experience is extremely rich, and his ability and wisdom are exceptional. Outstanding, you only need to keep working hard and you can stand at the top of the pyramid.

But his son was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis at the age of 17, which completely disrupted his life. At the beginning, he tried to persist in taking care of his family and career, but gradually he became unable to do what he wanted. His son needed him, and his family needed him. Despite the extremely difficult situation, he chose to leave the job. Before his career was about to reach its peak, he still returned. When I got to my family, I picked up some jobs as a freelancer, and started to manage some charity fund organizations.

Later, Robin witnessed the first appearance of "Another Light" in Rockefeller Plaza~www.novelhall.com~ He found the Heather Cross Fund.

In a blink of an eye, Robin has been the fund manager of the Heather-Cross Fund for nearly two years. He has done a very good job. Although this could not suppress the gradual deterioration of his son's condition, he was finally able to find work and family. The balance is reached; the most important thing is that he is doing his best to help other families suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is like lighting up a ray of sunshine in life.

In terms of ability, experience, and character, Robin is undoubtedly the best candidate; but Lan Li has other considerations.

"Robin hopes to spend more time with his children. I don't want to destroy his wish." Lan Li expressed his concerns.

Matthew nodded in agreement, "Of course. This is the premise. However, I think if we set up a venture capital fund, working hours are still free, and we can still guarantee the working environment during the Heather-Cross Foundation. It’s just changing the job content. I think I can ask Robin."

"... Hmm." Lan Li groaned for a moment, but still didn't nod his head to agree, "Andre, you should ask about Alexander first."

Andre nodded in affirmation.

Matthew did not persuade any more, but changed the subject, "If we can set up our own venture capital fund, I think I should be able to persuade Henry and Charlotte to sign a check, and I still have some savings here. In addition, As long as you speak, Eaton must be the first to raise your hand to join."

One billion dollars may seem out of reach, but as long as Lan Li is willing to raise his arms and raise his arms, it is really not a problem.

Andre also smiled, "I've said it before, and it depends on whether Lanly is willing to go back to London for a walk."
