director of the millennium

Los Angeles International Airport, pick-up gate.

"Daniel, you are finally back in the United States."

"Oh, this may be the last time I tell you this."

John, who was obviously much older than ten years ago, still gave Wu Yuan a warm hug.

"I have taken care of the finishing touches of the company, and now there are only some contracts left for you to sign in person."

"I have also hired a lawyer for you. He is the most professional lawyer from Star International Law Firm."

"Don't worry, although the other party is Disney, the lawyer will definitely help you handle the contract details responsibly."

"This is the last task you assigned me, and I will definitely complete it 100%."

Skadden LLP is an international law firm established in New York in 1948.

Currently, this law firm has nearly 2000 lawyers and has been continuously rated as the most prestigious law firm in the United States by Vault.

And since 2001, Skadden has been recognized as one of the "Best Corporate Legal Services Firms in the United States."

In a business merger and acquisition case like the one Wu Yuan was involved in, inviting the company's legal team is definitely the best way to handle it.

He doesn't need to worry about what little tricks these lawyers will do behind the scenes, or what kind of contract traps they will create in partnership with Disney.

In a contract involving this law firm, once it is discovered that there are loopholes in the contract, even if Wu Yuan loses, the firm will only lose more. The loss of reputation, prestige, and monetary interests is not a sum of money. decimal.

Not to mention Disney, even the government can't get any benefits from Skadden Law Firm.

So Wu Yuan was very relieved when he asked John to go to this legal team and was not afraid that John would go behind his back and collaborate with Disney to cause trouble.

Although the ten-year cooperative relationship is very trustworthy, Wu Yuan mainly trusts Skadden International Law Firm.

"I'll leave it to you, I'm sure." Of course, in front of John, Wu Yuan would always say nice things.

It’s easy to get together and relax!
Thinking of another thing, Wu Yuan asked again: "By the way, the cars and houses that were originally owned by the company have now been transferred to my personal name, right?"

The house he bought in Beverly Hills and the cars he bought before were all owned by the company and could avoid taxes.

This kind of thing is not only done by American companies, but also by domestic companies.

But now that the Light Times is going to be sold as a package, the car and the house definitely cannot be sold together.

Although he has only spent less than one-third of his time in the United States over the years, he has become accustomed to living in and using this house and car, and has no intention of selling it.

"Don't worry, everything has been transferred to your name. The acquisition agreement only involves the company itself and the IP copyright in the company's hands." John laughed.

"How could I miss something like this?"

"That's good."

Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, John was quite trustworthy when doing things.

Unfortunately, his right-hand man in North America will leave him in the future.

John has confirmed that he will continue to stay in Light Times and work for Disney.

Even the dividends and shares that Wu Yuan promised John before, Disney will continue to give him.

In other words, not only can John get 5% of the company sale proceeds from Wu Yuan, but he can also continue to get 5% of Light Times shares from Disney.

Disney is not a fool. Before they decided to acquire Light Times, they conducted a thorough investigation and knew that John was the main person in charge of the company.

It can be said that with the development of the light era, John is the real helmsman, and Wu Yuan only provides the most important content output. Of course, Disney is not willing to let such an excellent "professional manager" go.

Even Disney's evaluation team privately believes that John may have 60% of the credit for the success of Light Age, while Wu Yuan only has 40%.

So Disney offered generous terms to retain John and continue working for them.

And since Wu Yuan no longer plans to open a company in Hollywood, it is obviously obvious what choice John will make.

Wu Yuan also expressed his blessing to him.

John has indeed made a lot of money for him. Most of the things in the company are the result of Wu Yuan's words, John broke his leg because of the hardships.

Now that I have received a generous return (the proceeds from selling the company), and then can continue to get an executive job, this is undoubtedly a very perfect ending.

As for whether John alone can continue to develop this company in the light era without Wu Yuan, that is not something Wu Yuan can guess.

However, he feels that at least in the next five years, Light Times will continue to develop steadily and continue its glory.

Because John at least still has the follow-up IP development of the "Ace Agent" series, and the development of the "Hunger Games" series was canceled halfway through preparation.

If we just continue to complete the unfinished series of these two companies, Light Times will continue to be successful in the next five years.

The US$10 billion Disney paid did not lose at all, and even made some small profits.

At least one "Hunger Games" series alone can bring Disney a billion dollars in revenue.

The other IPs in the hands of Light Times are even more free profits.

The subsequent IP development and revenue of at least one "Twilight Saga" still has the potential of at least 3.5 billion.

Of course, Wu Yuan did not lose out. This money might take five or ten years to recover. He could just take $10 billion now, saving time and making it a good deal.

Just like those who sell gold mines, perhaps the money they make from selling gold mines is definitely not as much as they make from mining themselves.

But if you sell it, you can get a lot of cash in one fell swoop, but it will take ten or twenty years to realize the cash if you start a mine yourself.

"By the way, John, how are you preparing for the promotion of "The Martian"?"

"Don't worry." John still had the same strategizing expression: "Disney has made arrangements, and the premiere is also being prepared."

"The actors of "The Martian" are also gathering. Next, you will take them to record several shows for warm-up promotion."

"Matt has canceled some other activities specifically for this and is already waiting for you in Los Angeles."

"Isn't it?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Does Matt value me so much?"

"Yeah." John said intriguingly: "You haven't been in Hollywood for a long time, maybe you don't know."

"Matt's recent achievements in pursuing award honors."

"You know, he is already a first-tier Hollywood star. At this point, he is just short of some awards and honors. The same goes for Leonardo."

"Both of them hope they can win an Oscar, or even one of the top three in Europe."

"And in this regard, you are undoubtedly one of the directors who can best assist them."

"And it's true that you haven't made a literary film for a long time."

"So in their eyes, you are now a piece of sparkling, extremely attractive gold!" (End of Chapter)
