Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2365 Too Valuable

After briefly testing Eli Wood, Lin Daoqiu determined that the Wood Consortium should really intend to invest in "Reader Times", so their next conversation naturally turned to "Reader Times".

"The Wood Consortium hopes to get [-]% of the shares of "Reader Times". As for the amount of investment, we are willing to pay [-] million US dollars."

Eliwood is willing to pay [-] million U.S. dollars in exchange for [-]% of the shares of "Readers Times". If converted according to this method, it means that the total value of "Readers Times" has reached one billion U.S. dollars.

So far, Lin Daoqiu's investment in "Reader Times" is only 5000 million U.S. dollars, which has doubled by [-] times in an instant. This money is really good money.

But facing the money delivered to his door, Lin Daoqiu directly shook his head and rejected Eliwood's offer of [-] million yuan.

"I can't agree to you for [-]% of the shares and the asking price of [-] million."

Lin Daoqiu rejected it completely without blinking an eye. It seemed that Eliwood's offer could not impress him at all.

Being rejected by Lin Daoqiu directly, it is reasonable to say that Eliwood should have some reaction, but what is strange is that he was indifferent to this, as if Eliwood had already guessed that Lin Daoqiu would refuse.

"As far as I know, Mr. Lin has only spent about 5000 million on Reader's Times so far. The price of [-] million US dollars in exchange for [-]% of the shares, I think this price is rich enough."

For Eliwood, the asking price of [-] million to buy [-]% of the shares of "Reader Times" can be said to be a very generous price for Lin Daoqiu. At least for him, this asking price is enough to show his sincerity .

"If the Wood Consortium wants to take a 30% stake in Reader Times, I think $[-] billion is a reasonable price."

At this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly offered a sky-high price, which was ten times higher than the [-] million US dollars offered by Eli Wood.

Even though Eliwood was ready for Lin Daoqiu to open his mouth to the lion, he never expected that the other party's mouth would be increased tenfold. This is simply a joke.

"Mr. Lin, did I hear you right? 30 billion US dollars in exchange for [-]% of the shares of "Reader Times"? Your shares are too valuable, right?"

"You heard me right, and I'm not wrong. I think the price of 30 billion is very reasonable, and this price is still the current price. If you wait for a while, it may not be this price."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Eli Wood shake his head while listening. He felt that the guy in front of him was simply a lunatic. If the Wood consortium had to spend 30 billion US dollars to buy [-]% of the shares of "Reader Times", it would be better to buy shares in the three major newspapers. Even buying one of the newspapers is not out of the question.

"Mr. Lin, negotiations need to be conducted with sincerity. If you continue to be so whimsical, then I don't think we need to continue the negotiation."

Eliwood came here today to discuss business with Lin Daoqiu, not to listen to his nonsense. If the other party insists on the asking price of 30 billion, then this negotiation will definitely end in failure.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the Wood Consortium will have any cooperation with Lin Daoqiu in the future, which is foreseeable.

"I'm not whimsical, and I'm not just talking about this price. I know it's hard for you to accept this price now, and it's a bit unbelievable. How about we wait and see?"

At the beginning, when Lin Daoqiu offered 30 billion yuan, Eliwood felt that the other party was messing around.

But for some reason, after seeing Lin Daoqiu finish these words with a serious face, Eliwood suddenly had an illusion, that is, Lin Daoqiu believed that 30% of the shares in "Reader Times" were worth [-] billion US dollars.

"Well, if this is the case, we will wait and see, but if Mr. Lin insists on this price, then I don't think we will have the possibility of negotiating next time."

Eliwood would like to see, what magic power does Reader's Times have that can be worth so much money, just because it sells only 20 copies a day?Let alone 30 billion, [-] million is not worth it.

The reason why the Wood Consortium is willing to spend [-] million US dollars to invest in "Reader Times" is not because they are so optimistic about the success of this newspaper, but because they are interested in Lin Daoqiu.

If spending [-] million yuan can establish a good relationship with the other party, then in the future, the Wood Consortium will be able to take advantage of the opportunity and carry out more cooperation with Lin Daoqiu, such as cooperation in movies and special effects.

You must know that the most popular movie in the world is now born from the hands of Lin Daoqiu, and his magic studio's annual net income is about one billion U.S. dollars, and it is growing steadily every year.

The Wood Consortium has done an analysis. Once special effects movies are popularized in the future, Lin Daoqiu will be able to earn at least billions of dollars a year from the box office revenue of the movies and the special effects studio.

If the Wood Consortium can get a piece of the pie, then for them, they only need to pay [-] million US dollars to get this pass, so why not do it.

But if the price of this pass is 30 billion, then don't say that Eliwood can't be the master, even if he can be the master, he will never agree to Lin Daoqiu's request.

After sending Lin Daoqiu away, Eliwood closed the door of the room.

At this moment, the door of the next room suddenly opened, and a young man in a suit walked out from inside.

"Do you think he's joking, or is he serious?"

After the other party sat down, he looked at Eliwood and asked.

Eliwood stood aside respectfully, bowing his body slightly. It seemed that he was afraid of the young man in front of him. At least judging from his reaction, there was a big gap between the two in terms of identity and status. .

"I don't think he has any reason to tease me. Unless he has reached an agreement with Yabs, otherwise, it will not do him any good to offend the Wood Consortium in this way."

The young man nodded, and it seemed that he also felt that Eliwood was right.

"The "Readers Times" is worth 300 billion? How is this possible? It is not a bank, even if all of Lin Daoqiu's properties are sold together, it is not worth the price."

"Master, I think we should wait and see what happens. Didn't Lin Daoqiu say that? Let's wait and see. Since he has such confidence, then we can just wait."

The person Eliwood called the young master was named Charlie Wood. He was one of the core members of the Wood Consortium. To be more precise, Charlie Wood was even qualified to inherit the Wood Consortium. It was no wonder that Eliwood respected him so much.

"Pay attention to this matter, don't be preempted by other financial groups. The film market will be a huge growth point in the future, and we can't miss it."
