The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 634 Daryl's Help
Xu Guanwu accompanied Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi to the airport to send Deng Lijun to the United States. Although the two of them could not express their feelings in their hearts, they had a good understanding of each other, and everything was kept silent.

After sending Deng Lijun to the plane, Lin Qingxia wiped away her tears, "Oh, it's been a long time since I hoped for a fellow from Taiwan, but I didn't expect to send her away so soon."

"Don't be sad. There are many Taiwanese artists developing in Hong Kong. If you like it, I will hold a party some other day and invite them to come to your house to accompany you." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"I still don't want it, I don't know each other well, how can we start a chat." Lin Qingxia waved her hand and said.She made her debut in Taiwan very early, and soon became famous. She has rarely dealt with these rising stars in Taiwan who are now developing in Hong Kong.

"Okay, don't worry about the spring and autumn. Aaron, Sanmao, and Yuan Biao's plane is about to arrive. The colleagues of Xiangjiang Film Club are still waiting for us." Zhao Yazhi urged.

Today, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao returned home with great honors, because this time "Mansion of Gold and Jade" sold well and greatly boosted the morale of Hong Kong filmmakers.Therefore, the president Ye Zhiming and the presidents of the subordinate branches proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to show the strength of Hong Kong filmmakers.

This proposal was quickly passed with more than half of the votes, and it was set on the day they returned to China. They would celebrate with a parade of dragon and lion dance floats from Kai Tak Airport to Causeway Bay.

Seeing that the colleagues in the industry are so appreciative, the Xu Group specially donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars as activity funds, so that everyone can take the opportunity to have fun.Later, after accounting for the expenses of going out for the parade, there was still about [-] Hong Kong dollars left, so I simply reserved [-] tables of flowing water at the Regal Restaurant in Hong Kong, and held a grand celebration banquet.

Xiangjiang Film Club didn't have to pay a penny, but it earned both face and value.Xu's Group is also very popular, and its popularity in Hong Kong has skyrocketed again.This parade can be described as a win-win situation. The only people who are not angry are the other film companies, but it is useless to be jealous.

A box office of 4000 million U.S. dollars and a profit of more than 2000 million U.S. dollars are not something that company can make.Golden Harvest has been cooperating with New Line for almost a year, and now all the movies combined are not as profitable as the movie "A Man of Gold and Jade". This is the gap between Hongguoguo.

"Then let's go. They gave us face and invited our colleagues to celebrate for us. As the hosts, we naturally can't be late." Xu Guanwu smiled, left the airport by car, and drove to the place where the parade was held.

Not long after getting in the car, the mobile phone in the car suddenly rang.

Xu Guanwu was surprised for a while, not many people knew his mobile phone number in the car, especially after he retired to the second line, it was rare for someone to call him.Unexpectedly, it had been deposited for such a long time, but it suddenly rang.

Xu Guanwu answered the phone in doubt, and couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard it. It turned out that the call was from Darryl Zarnuk.

"Stanley, things are a little bad." Darryl said anxiously.

"What happened, don't worry, just speak slowly." Xu Guanwu said doubtfully.

"Our stock agent found that in the past two months, our stock trading has been abnormally frequent." Darryl said.

"Is anyone buying our stocks? This is a good thing!" Xu Guanwu was startled, but joked with a smile on his mouth.

"This is not a good thing. They found that someone is buying a lot of our stocks, and they have already bought more than [-]% of them." Darryl Zarnuk saw that Xu Guanwu didn't understand the joints, and hurriedly said to him loudly.

Xu Guanwu was overjoyed, and felt refreshed in his heart, "The acquisition has already exceeded [-]%?! My God, isn't that more than my stock? Who is that person and why did he do this?"

"At present, his identity is not clear, only that the stock was acquired by an offshore company." Daryl said, "Stanley, we must act as soon as possible, otherwise the company will soon become someone else's. "

"Okay, then what are you going to do, how can I cooperate with you?" Xu Guanwu asked.

"First of all, you don't want to sell the [-]% of your shares," Darryl said. "Secondly, I want to issue new shares, but the shareholders are very opposed, so I hope you can stand by my side."

"Don't worry, I have confidence in 20th Century Fox, and I will not sell the [-]% of the shares to others." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "But are you sure it will be useful to issue new shares? If you were accepted by that company, what should you do?"

"If he can receive all the new shares issued at the full price, then his amount of cash is really big, and I'm afraid we can't handle it. Maybe it's a good thing for Fox to have such a rich man invest in Fox." Darry Er thought for a while and said, "He invested so much money in Fox's stock, probably because he wants to run it well, not destroy it."

"It makes sense, but according to your guess, who is the most likely person to initiate this acquisition? Can we meet and discuss with him, maybe he can stop the acquisition, and then enter the company to be a shareholder with peace of mind." Xu Guanwu said , "Because so far, I haven't seen any master who can do as well as you?"

"Stanley, your mouth is too sweet." Darryl laughed, "We guess it might be Murdoch, the media tycoon. I heard that he is now optimistic about the future of Hollywood movies and plans to buy a movie company to enter the movie industry. Our Fox company is At present, the most popular company among the many Hollywood film companies, the performance in the past few years has been very good. So it is reasonable for him to want to buy us. "

"It turned out to be him..." Xu Guanwu was stunned, but he knew that Murdoch bought 20th Century Fox in his previous life, and even hired Barry Diller from Paramount to start a TV station. It took only one year The Fox TV network was established, with 180 TV stations under its umbrella, becoming the fourth largest public TV network in the United States.At its peak, the market value reached 600 billion U.S. dollars, and when Murdoch acquired 20th Century Fox, it only cost 2.5 million U.S. dollars.

"Stanley, you must come to the United States as soon as possible. You must participate in the shareholder meeting for the issuance of new shares, and you must firmly express your support for my release." Darryl begged, "Those shareholders only think about their own interests. If they want to make money and only want to sell their stocks at a high price, they will definitely oppose the issuance of new shares. Stanley, you have to help me."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Don't worry, I will rush over there as soon as possible, so don't worry. Talk to the agent about a plan to issue new shares, and wait for me to go over and study it carefully."

After Daryl received Xu Guanwu's affirmative answer, he couldn't help feeling a stone in his heart, and hung up the phone with peace of mind.The reason why he didn't suspect that Xu Guanwu was the person behind the acquisition of 20th Century Fox was mainly because Xu Guanwu had performed too well these years, always being kind to others, and he was his staunch supporter and closest ally.It almost made him forget that no matter how friendly the tiger is, it still wants to eat meat.

Of course, he didn't expect that he would be tricked by his son. Wouldn't it be good to make a good movie and make money? If you have to deal with so many idiots, now that I'm going to lose the chairmanship of a listed company, it's really super cheating.

……

After Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, he couldn't help but sympathize with Daryl in his heart.Darryl joined the Fox company a long time ago, and was later promoted to the head of the Fox company. He has been carefully managing the company, putting all his heart and soul into the company, and treating it as a treasure.

Even though Richard Zanjuk was his son, when he made a mistake and caused irreparable losses to the company, he resolutely waved his butcher knife and drove his son out of the company.Because in his mind, the importance of the company has far surpassed that of his son.

He didn't expect that he would lose control of the company because of his son.Darryl's stock is only [-]% at most. If Xu Guanwu hadn't supported him, he would have been impeached many times.But this time even Xu Guanwu started to turn his back on the water, and Darryl Zanyuk probably won't last long.

"Ah Wu, whose phone is it?" Seeing Xu Guanwu's mysterious smile, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's Darryl's call, he is asking for help." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"Oh?! What happened to him, what happened?" Lin Qingxia asked. She had met Darryl a few times. In her impression, he was a very strong character, but he was still very friendly to them.

"Someone is aggressively buying up Fox's liquid shares, and the acquisition has already exceeded [-]%." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "He wanted to issue new shares to delay the speed of the acquisition, but he was opposed by the shareholders, so he wants us to Go to the United States as soon as possible and express your support for him at the shareholder meeting."

"Then this is really a big deal, so when do you plan to go to America, Ah Wu?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise.Although she doesn't know much about these business operations, she also knows that the acquisition of a listed company is a big deal, especially for those shareholders.If everyone has communicated well before the acquisition, it will naturally be a win-win outcome for everyone.If it was bought by force, it would feel like being fucked by a strong woman.

"Don't worry, take your time." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Why, aren't you afraid that 20th Century Fox will be acquired?" Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Of course I'm not afraid, because I did this acquisition."

"You?! Why, husband? Aren't you friends with Darryl, Richard and his son?" Zhao Yazhi asked more and more puzzled.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "How can there be forever friends in this world? Darryl is a good person, and he has always cooperated with us. But Richard has been a bit high-tailed these years, and it is not wrong to embezzle funds for filming Having said that, the most hateful thing is to suppress the people I send, which is obviously not giving me face. If such a person takes another two years, I'm afraid I won't even look down on him. So I plan to teach him a lesson. "

"Then he's not good, you can just teach him a lesson, why did you even clean up Darryl? I think that old gentleman is pretty good." Lin Qingxia asked suspiciously.

"Cutting the weeds does not eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. How do I know if I will jump out after I teach my son a lesson? We have cooperated so much with 20th Century Fox. If he interferes with it, we will not suffer a lot of losses? So we have to do both. "Xu Guanwu explained.

"Oh, it sounds so cruel." Lin Qingxia shuddered and said, "It seems that I am really not suitable for doing business, and I can't do something like this."

"I have no choice but to. If Richard didn't make too much noise, I actually don't want to hurt him." Xu Guanwu sighed.

"Then you asked him to make "The Lord of the Rings" and said that you would invest a large sum of money in him. In fact, you are playing tricks to harm him?" Zhao Yazhi exclaimed suddenly.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "That's right, the movie "The Lord of the Rings" was originally a conspiracy. If they make a good film, I might consider letting them go, but if they are really greedy, then don't blame me for being rude." gone."
