Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 259 The Real Rich Second Generation

Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street.

Gu Ming thought that Silicon Valley had nothing to do with him.

You need to find people who are on Wall Street themselves.

But the one who came first was from Silicon Valley.

Do not!

Strictly speaking, he is not from Silicon Valley, his father is.

And he was just a 23-year-old young man that Gu Ming met at a party.

It looks a little immature.

"Hello, Gu, my name is David Ellison." The person who came was a young man who seemed to have no eyebrows and had a somewhat fierce face.

"Hello." Gu Ming shook his hand.

Looking at the other person's face, I really can't remember who he is.

But when I heard the name, especially the last name of Ellison, it was difficult to remember.

Doesn’t his dad look like Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, the Oracle founder Larry Ellison?

Speaking of which, I don’t know why, but this person’s son and daughter don’t like working in technology companies, and they both like Hollywood in California.

After entering Hollywood in the previous life, the person in front of me paid a lot of tuition fees.

But who wants the father’s tuition to be high enough?

After all, he is a famous rich man in the world.

Hand over every pen and leave.

I did really well in Hollywood later on.

"Gu, I'm an actor too. I really love your movies. We must collaborate if we have the chance in the future."

"Of course, what kind of movies do you like best?"

Gu Ming just started chatting with the other party.

Gu Ming felt that he had a purpose, and he really had a purpose.

The two of them went in both directions and chatted for more than ten minutes.

We were talking about movies in the front.

Later, David Ellison explained his purpose.

"I heard that many Hollywood giants want to invest in your Beidou Star Entertainment. Are you short of funds recently?"

"I happen to have some entrepreneurial capital, would you be willing to sell me some shares?"

"Then we can work together on some projects. Everyone in Hollywood admires your vision."

"Oh, this is a bit complicated. After the party, let's find a quiet place to have a chat?" Compared to those Hollywood giants, Gu Ming still prefers to get the money of David in front of him.

His identity can provide him with a guarantee and at the same time reduce the risks that Beidou Star Entertainment will face.

If we introduce another Hollywood giant and let them take over 20% of the shares, we really have to worry that they will hit it off with Sony Columbia and lose themselves.

I don't have any worries about asking for his money.

"Okay!" David Ellison secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Gu Ming did not refuse.

He loves movies!

Want to get into Hollywood.

But what can I say about this place? Wall Street can be tricked to death.

It’s really too exclusive. If a layman goes in and doesn’t understand anything, if he goes in with a bang, he’ll probably be buried in glory.

You may lose money in any movie you invest in.

Never mind how promising that movie was.

The theater chain makes money, the actors make money, the distribution company makes money, and the production company also makes money, but only the investors lose money. This is a common thing.

He was so scared that he didn't know what to do.

Just when he was holding the money and not knowing what to do with it, he heard about Gu Ming's Big Dipper Entertainment.

I immediately looked for an opportunity and came to this party, wanting to see if I could enter Hollywood through Gu Ming.

Even if you are familiar with the process first, that would be a good thing.

As soon as the party ended, the two found a high-end restaurant and booked a secluded private room to chat.

"How many shares can you ask for?"

"Among the Hollywood giants, Disney, the highest bidder, gave me a valuation of 2.4 billion."    "But no matter which company, it is not less than 2 billion."

Gu Ming got straight to the point and told the truth in every sentence.

Of course, he told the truth selectively. Disney wanted a controlling stake, and the other six major companies also wanted to confirm the overseas distribution rights for the remaining half of the film. Gu Ming did not tell the truth to David Ellison in front of him. .

"I only need ten percent of the shares." David Ellison said. "But I want to work as an associate producer on the company's projects. If I have the chance, I also want to play some roles. It doesn't necessarily have to be the protagonist. It would be nice if I can show my face."

"As for the price, how about 240 million?"

"Okay!" Gu Ming directly followed the top pattern and refused, "Just buy the shares in my hand."

"You don't want to quit, do you?"

David Ellison was shocked.

If Gu Ming wanted to quit Beidou Star, then he would not vote.

Everyone can see that Gu Ming is the soul of Beidou Star Entertainment's current achievements.

It was this director who, relying on his own vision, turned a high-risk industry like movies into a high-profit industry.

Without Gu Ming, even if Beidou Star Entertainment has several good series, once these series are exhausted, 80% of them will be like other hit companies, be heavily in debt, or go bankrupt, or be acquired by the Big Six. Become a subsidiary.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ming shook his head, "I still want to work in Hollywood. Owning a company is better than simply being a director."

"Then let's sign an agreement." David Ellison is not stupid, and of course he will not believe Gu Ming's empty words. "You must draw a line for your shares. Before the company goes public, it cannot be less than that line. At the same time, Every film released by the company requires your approval."

"Then what do you think this line should be?" Gu Ming asked.

"Twenty percent?"

Seeing that Gu Ming didn't look like he was going to agree, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Fifteen percent."

"Ok."

After discussing with him.

Gu Ming also felt that the ten percent he thought before was too low. It was safe. Others should be afraid of running away with the bucket.

Fifteen percent is just right.

The apparent shareholding is directly lower than that of Sony Columbia, which is unlikely to cause resentment among Americans.

It accounts for a lot of the company's profits, and others don't have to worry about withdrawing.

"I can sign, but you also have to give me the voting rights for the shares."

"You don't want it, and I can't make the opposite decision with you." David Ellison nodded, "I don't understand the operating rules of Hollywood."

"Okay, let's sign the contract as soon as possible. If you give me a time, I can do it anytime." David Ellison was so excited as he held the money his father gave him in his hand. He couldn't wait to spend it. .

"Wait for my news."

……

The next day.

Gu Ming informed Sony Colombia about this matter.

After all, when they signed the contract, they had the right to preferential investment in shares and acquisitions.

But we can talk about anything.

To get priority, you have to get the same price.

Even if you come out and make me anxious, I will sell you all the shares in my hand at this price. What will you do?

Aren't you going to do it?

Then let’s have a good talk.

Agree that I will sell 10% of my shares to the rich second generation of Silicon Valley for US$240 million.

Sony Columbia surrendered, but asked to buy another 9% of the shares from Gu Ming.

In addition to the 10% sold to David, the remaining 15% is exactly for Gu Ming.

But the problem is that if this 9% is given to Sony Columbia, it will have 34% in its hands.

So Gu Ming firmly disagreed with this condition.

After some grinding, this share was reduced to four percent.

Sony Columbia purchased 4% of Gu Ming's shares for US$100 million, increasing its holdings in Beidou Star Entertainment to 29%.
