Chapter 47

"Hey, I said buddy, do you want to cooperate with me?"

At this time, the night was deep, and the music on the yacht was still playing, but the noisy sound could no longer be heard. The men and women who were burning with firewood looked for their own rooms and started primitive sports.

Only Yang Cheng and Ellison, who had already drunk three rounds, moved to the spa pool of the Musashi, each occupying a corner, sitting opposite each other, resting their heads on the edge of the pool, looking up at the starry sky.

Yang Cheng was about to fall asleep because of the comfort of the spa massage, but suddenly heard Ellison's whispering question, and couldn't help but look over.

"What did you say?" He really didn't hear clearly.

Ellison was still looking at the sky, "I said, do you want to work together?"

"Which kind of cooperation are you referring to? I don't understand movies, I only know how to watch." Yang Cheng thought that Ellison was looking for investment from him. Although Ellison is not short of money, he also needs to know how to share risks. With his 200 million US dollars in venture capital, he called it pocket money, and relying on a burst of madness, he broke into Hollywood in a daze, and was almost cheated out of the sky.

Unexpectedly, Ellison shook his head, sat upright, and the pool overflowed, "It's not a movie, it's Forum Publishing Company."

Yang Cheng's face darkened, "You want to rob me?"

"No, it's cooperation. My Tianwu Films just needs a platform to raise their voices. Forum Publishing Company is a good choice." Ellison slowly explained the reason.

But Yang Cheng didn't buy it, "Impossible, I don't need a strong person to challenge my position on the board of directors." Yang Cheng already regarded Forum Publishing Company as his pocketbook, and Eddie Harvestan was the key to the acquisition. The crucial link, now that this link has been opened up, the group of shareholders and directors who only value profit can easily solve it, it is nothing more than money.

"Oh, come on, Jason, you misunderstood me. I'm just a shareholder. I want a board seat to protect my interests. I won't participate in the company's specific operations." Ellison spread his hands in an exaggerated grievance.

Yang Cheng didn't like this, and sneered, "David, don't play tricks with me. You have improved a lot in your acting skills in the past few years in Hollywood. Do you plan to appear in a movie yourself?"

Although the habit of eating alone is bad, no one doesn't like eating alone, especially this group of young masters who have been spoiled since they were young, and they can get what they want. They never share what they value, at least at this age. Learn not to share.

Ellison is a top son, and Yang Cheng is not bad. Even New York, where he lives, is the capital of wealth in the United States, and there are many more people than Ellison. In the eyes of New Yorkers, the new tech rich in California are just a group of people favored by Wall Street. It's just a bumpkin that came out.

In a circle, who doesn't know who? Even if you fart, you know what he ate last night, and you still want to hide it from Yang Cheng's eyes? They are all foxes on the mountain, what are they talking about in Liao Zhai?

"Oh my god, Jason, you make me sad, okay, okay, let's stop here, just pretend that I haven't mentioned it, at worst I'll find another one, the problem that money can solve is not the problem." Eli Sen continued his acting.

Yang Cheng clapped her hands lightly, applauding for him, "Well said, I wish you success."

He is very regretful now, wishing to slap himself two big mouths. Why did he tell Ellison about the Forum Publishing Company? It’s not that he doesn’t know how cunning the Ellison family is. In the 300 rounds of Oracle vs. Microsoft, if someone hadn’t reconciled it, with Larry Ellison’s bastard personality, he would have to go into battle with Bill Gates shirtless in the end. The son of a mouse can make holes. .

Alas, still young. . .

The tentative conversation between the two ended badly, and Yang Cheng returned to the Emerald, so he was in no mood to talk to a beautiful woman. He didn't believe that David Ellison would give up so easily.

If he doesn't seize the time to arrange something and let Ellison step in, he will be crying without tears

Regardless of the late night, the phone call went directly to home.

"Hello, this is the Yang family." Old John answered the phone.

"Old John, it's me. Is my father asleep?" Yang Cheng spoke a little fast, and Old John could hear Yang Cheng's anxiety.

"Yes, I fell asleep an hour ago, do I need to wake him up?"

Yang Cheng stood still by the window with her mobile phone in hand. At night, there was a breeze on the sea, and the boat swayed accordingly, but the range was not large, and it did not affect people's activities.

"No, it's like this. I talked to Eddie Harveystein of Tribune this afternoon. He has promised to convince the board of directors to accept my acquisition for us, but when I met with David Ellison at night, I accidentally Talking about this matter, he also became interested in Forum Publishing Company. I am worried that things will change. When my father wakes up tomorrow morning, you should tell him the matter as soon as possible, and ask him to send an acquisition team to contact Forum Publishing Company, and negotiate as soon as possible. cooperation."

Summarize things to Old John in quick, concise language.

After pondering for a moment, I continued, "I have two acquisition plans. One is to acquire 100% of the equity for 70 million U.S. dollars. The debt will be borne by us. The second is that we will spend 2.1 billion U.S. dollars, but the debt will be passed on to the shareholders. I am not responsible. If I choose this plan, I can reserve 10% of the shares for them, and I will increase their investment in the future.

Tell my father and the acquisition team about my two plans. This is the bottom line, and the specific figures are up to them to discuss. "

"Okay, I understand. I will inform you as soon as your father gets up."

"Thank you, Old John, for your hard work."

"That's what I should do, Jason."

After saying goodnight to each other and hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng slowly let go of his gripping heart, rubbed his temples, and sorted out the chess pieces he had left behind since his rebirth in his mind.

First of all, Delta Airlines, the most important project, is a project that has established his status in the world. The progress is a bit slow, but within his acceptance range, it is useless to rush.

Secondly, the South Korean entertainment company, named CY Entertainment Group by Liu Jianjun, reversed Yang Cheng’s Chinese pinyin initials. This flattering Yang Cheng rolled his eyes, and has already won megabox, the third largest hospital in Korea. The line, under the auspices of Liu Jianjun, was handing over in an orderly manner.

However, after N.E.W Company saw the strength of CY Entertainment, the balance in their hearts completely fell to CY Entertainment. Judging from Liu Jianjun's report, it is expected to complete the acquisition at a price of 270 million US dollars. At present, the negotiation is stuck in the final stage. shareholding allocation.

The major shareholders of N.E.W all hope to retain 5% of the shares and the corresponding equity, so that CY Entertainment can only hold 65% of the shares. In addition, CY needs to set aside 10%-15% of the shares. Let's deal with all parties, CY Entertainment is an outsider after all. Liu Jianjun understands this rule, and Yang Cheng understands even more. If you count the shares that have been managed, it is not so safe for CY to hold about 50% of the shares.

So what to do? CY's interests must be protected, and Liu Jianjun naturally understands that Yang Cheng will not make concessions in this regard. Besides, in his opinion, the value of those shareholders to N.E.W Company is not as great as they think, and each of them is reserved 2 %, it can be regarded as the best of benevolence. You must know that if you buy their shares at a price of 270 million U.S. dollars, these shareholders will each receive at least 14 million U.S. dollars in cash. Is this very little?

Yang Cheng is not worried that the negotiation will break down because of this. The function of the negotiation is to balance the interests of all parties in the constant quarrel, and Yang Cheng, the big boss, has not yet appeared. A one-shot effect.

In addition to N.E.W Company, Liu Jianjun also intends to acquire an actor brokerage company with three generations of old, middle-aged and young actors. If the plan is successful, CY Entertainment will complete a small ecological closed loop and remain invincible. Expand to the music industry as a solid backing.
