most charming

The plane pierced through the clouds and landed smoothly at Junbei Airport. Lin Tao ended his trip to the United States. Thinking of Huang Yuewei's tearful eyes before boarding the plane, he felt a little uncomfortable, and wished he could take her back directly.

But this is just thinking about it, Huang Yuewei is definitely not willing to come back, besides, let her feel the hard work in a foreign country, and after finishing her studies, the party will cherish everything she has now.

As soon as Lin Tao returned to Junbei, he immediately contacted Li Hui and expressed his thoughts over the phone.When he was in the United States, because he wanted to accompany Huang Yuewei, he basically just had such an idea, and the details were not mature enough, so he didn't discuss it with Li Hui.On the plane, it was just enough for him to think carefully, so there was the next conversation.

"Lin Tao, your appetite is really big enough. The studio has not officially started yet, and you are about to eat a medium-sized theater chain. You must know that Ross Films owns 15% of the theater chains in the United States. This share But it’s not low, if you buy it positively, it won’t be worth billions of dollars.”

"You see, a 15% share is only worth a few billion dollars. If it is replaced by a large company such as Lionsgate, it may cost tens of billions?" Lin Tao said with a smile, "This fully shows that Ross Film The quality of theater chains in the industry is not very good, not to mention that Rose’s market share is mainly in second- and third-tier cities. I checked the information, and generally after popular blockbusters are released in big cities, second- and third-tier cities will continue to be released. The box office of the movie has no way to provide better support, which shows that the box office of a movie basically comes from big cities, while the proportion of second- and third-tier cities is relatively low!"

"I understand that you don't want Ross Films, but his market." Li Hui said, this is the advantage of talking to smart people. You don't need to say something clearly, and the other party can understand what it means.

"The temporary task of the studio is to invest in movies. If the reputation is established in the future, it will not be a problem to make movies by ourselves. Once the movie is shot, it will be released, so the later release will be a big problem. If it can win Ross Films, it will be a market share. It is very good for the future development of the studio. There is still a link of publicity in the middle. Before you are sure, of course you still have to spend money to hire someone to do it, after all, this aspect is too professional."

Li Hui thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to win Ross Films. Although the headquarters are in the east, the theaters in big western cities are the main source of income!" After a pause, he said, "Lin Tao, I remember There is such a saying, 'Brothers clearly settle accounts', this matter is not within the scope of the consultant's responsibility, if you need me to do something, you will need to charge extra!"

Lin Tao didn't take his directness seriously, but was very happy. He said something to his face, and then discussed how to solve it. This is the typical American style of doing things, and he doesn't hide it.

"You're asking for a lot of money, and I'll just pay you back when I land. Say it, and I'll listen."

Li Hui pondered for a moment, then said with a trace of hesitation: "I don't want cash..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Tao and asked, "How many shares of Ross Films do you want?"

Even if it is calculated based on the market value of 30 billion US dollars, 1% of the shares are worth 3000 million US dollars, which is already a huge sum of money for Americans.

Li Hui didn't speak for a long time, and he was very conflicted in his heart, fearing that if he offered a high price, he would be rejected, and if he made a low price, he would earn less.To be honest, everything Lin Tao said was just an illusion, until the final moment of success, it would be useless to say extravagantly.

But after these days of contact, Lin Hui found that Lin Tao was very honest in his work, not a person who only relied on eloquence to do things, not to mention that he was assisted by Sarah. Li Hui knew very well about Sarah's character. The fact that she can help Lin Tao in this career fully shows that Lin Tao is a relatively reliable person.

There are two biggest troubles in the acquisition of Ross Films. The first is that Jason Ross holds a lot of shares. Unless he can buy the remaining shares of the board of directors at one time, there is no way to form an absolute holding. That’s what old Ross said Forget it, then the acquisition is not considered a success.The second is how to make Jason Rose willing to sell the film industry. After all, it is time to make money, and the film is also in the recovery stage. Several blockbusters that have caused a sensation in the world have frequently broken the global box office. Jiangshan is not a wise choice.

In fact, there is still an invisible worry, that is, I don’t know how much money Lin Tao can come up with. If all kinds of methods are exhausted, it will not work. The last resort is to force the acquisition, but this is a lose-lose approach, and it will definitely not consider.

"Li Hui, are you still there?" There was a smile on the corner of Lin Tao's mouth, as if he saw Li Hui's troubled face through the microphone, and he smiled gloatingly.

"I want 1% of the shares in the theater!" Li Hui paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I will invest myself, at least 3% of the shares!" Just about $3 million or so.

Of course, this is only based on the current market value. It would be much cheaper if the stock price of Ross Films could keep falling, and it would be much cheaper to buy it at the last moment when the acquisition was completed.

"Li Hui, you underestimate your role too much, and your pricing ability is too poor. You are still a black-hearted lawyer!" Lin Tao teased.

Li Hui blushed from being choked up during the phone conversation, thinking that his offer was rejected, and was thinking about lowering the conditions a little more, when Lin Tao laughed and said: "You are so courageous, you only want 1% of the shares, and you still need 2% of the shares. I want to buy 5% of the shares by myself, and I can barely make up about 5%. I think my appetite is a bit small. But this also shows that you are kind enough, and I will never be stingy with kind friends! In this way, I don’t need you to buy shares. Give you [-]% of the shares directly!"

Li Hui was a little stunned, and suddenly felt like he had fallen into a trap. He just opened his mouth and gave away 5% of the shares. This was a bit too weird. Could it be that he had calculated that he would make this request?

"Why, 5% is not satisfied?" Lin Tao frowned slightly, "Or 6%?"

"No, no! 5% is quite a lot, and I still want to thank you for your generosity!" Li Hui hurriedly stopped. He didn't know what to do with the 5% of the shares. If it was 6% of the shares, maybe I'm going to kill myself.

"Enough? Then it's settled, but it's only 5%. If you want to buy shares in the future, you have to pay for it." Lin Tao teased.

"I don't expect to be the boss, I just want to make some money." Li Hui's idea is also very simple. With just 5% of the shares, the annual dividends will not be less. If he can grow bigger and bigger under the leadership of Lin Tao , then the dividend will only increase.

"Then let's talk about how to deal with Ross Films. Personally, I don't like to play tricks, but Jim Ross provoked me first, and it's not a debt to his father to attack his father."

Li Hui couldn't help but shudder, who is the last person to provoke?Just like Lin Tao, who obviously speaks cruel words, his tone sounds really flat, and he doesn't even have any mood swings. How cruel and cruel such a person can be is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Jason Rose is more good at gambling, but he has restrained himself a lot recently. He used to be a bad gambler."

"Then start from this aspect. Once there is a chance, let him lose everything." Lin Tao laughed and said, "If I need to make a move, just say it, it is best to be in Australia Island, Las Vegas is too far away .”

"Are you proficient in gambling?" Li Hui became interested. Gambling is a profound knowledge. Even the current Las Vegas "God of Gamblers" dare not say that he has understood everything about gambling. In the eyes of outsiders, Gambling became more and more mysterious.

Lin Tao said: "I have a little experience!" In fact, he is not a little person. Gambling is nothing in his eyes. To put it bluntly, if everyone does not use technology, it is a game that depends entirely on luck.Of course, with the appropriate technology, gambling becomes a science, and one worth studying.

"That would be the best. There should be an opportunity in the near future. I will contact you when the time comes." Someone on Li Hui's side was already shouting, "I still have a rather troublesome case here. After it is resolved, I will try my best to solve it." Go and deal with Ross Films." He gave the guarantee in order to deepen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll take it step by step, and I can't eat a fat man in one bite." Lin Tao also understands his difficulties. After all, he still has his own law firm, and even the boss has to personally fight the case. There is no need to put pressure on him at this time.

"By the way, there is one more thing to trouble you!" Lin Tao continued, "I need you to help me hire a bodyguard, disguised as a student to protect a person, at least before Ross Films is eaten, I want to guarantee that person safety."

Li Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll just say it, in the end it's still jealousy!"

"You can think whatever you want!" Lin Tao rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Harvard Business School graduate student, Huang Yuewei, I need to ensure her absolute safety. When it is a last resort, the bodyguards can be equipped with guns. If something goes wrong, I will take care of her." Money solves it!"

"It's fine with the gun. At worst, I will arrange a few more bodyguards. Don't think that shooting a gun in the United States is a trivial matter, and it will be troublesome to investigate." Li Hui quickly stopped this crazy idea, but he also learned about Huang Yuewei from the side. It should be someone who is valued by Lin Tao, otherwise it would not be such an arrangement.

"Then trouble you, let's talk later."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tao heaved a sigh of relief and found that he was still stuck in traffic, and he had only driven less than 200 meters from where he was just now.

"When did Junbei become more congested than Mingzhu?" Sara couldn't help complaining when she saw him end the call.

Just as Lin Tao was about to answer the question, the phone rang. He was still wondering why he was so concerned that he was discovered just after returning to China?

But when he saw the name displayed on the screen, he frowned slightly. It seemed that he had a bad premonition to call at this time.
