American Fortune Life

hum. . .

Andy, who was changing clothes in the car, glanced at the buzzing and vibrating cell phone on the car seat, continued to change clothes, and kept vigilant at all times, paparazzi were everywhere, if the news broke, it would be a real scandal.

Tuck the white shirt into the trousers, fasten the belt, take off the suit on the hanger, put it on with a bow, open the shoe box, take out the shiny leather shoes and put them on, tie the shoelaces, put on the sunglasses, casual clothes , The baseball cap and other camouflage equipment were stuffed into the backpack, and then he picked up the phone, looked at it, and picked it up.

"Oh my god, Andy, you finally answered the phone. I think you should come to the company for a while. The thing you have been paying attention to has become clear." Fat Carl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Can't we talk on the phone?" Andy looked at his watch, frowned slightly, leaned comfortably on the car seat, and asked a little uncomfortable.

"You'd better come here, there are other things you need to decide..."

Andy hung up the phone, wondering what the fat man was doing, and told Kenny to go to the mockingbird copyright company, and the car turned at an intersection.

Mockingjay Copyright Inc.

"That means that fat man Mark Kamen wants to sell his shares to cash out?" Andy sat on Carl's boss chair with a happy smile on his face.

"That's right, he is now raising money everywhere to ease the capital chain of his real estate company. Some irrelevant assets are within the scope of his sale. Didn't one of the agreements you signed at that time say that under the same conditions, Do you have the right of first refusal?

Just for this one, at the last meeting, he asked me if you are interested in acquiring his shares. Both CEO Rob Freeman and Pierce knew about it, but he asked for 30 million US dollars at the time. He didn't agree, he dared to ask such a high price for 18% of the shares, he was really poor and crazy.

This morning, he called again to ask. It seems that he has a buyer. However, the agreement stuck him, so he can only ask our opinion first. This time it is 20 million US dollars, which is a little premium. He mainly wants Get rid of it as soon as possible. "

With a sinister smile on his face, Fatty Carl put down the coffee cup in his hand and introduced the matter in detail. To be honest, with Andy's instruction, he had a lot of trouble in the board of directors of Summit Entertainment.

This year's summit company's filming plan has only confirmed two films so far, one is a low-budget horror film, and the other is "The Battle of the Valley of Elah" joined by the actress. .

Every time the company holds a meeting, it is always a mess. Two fat guys swear at each other, which makes the founder Pierce and CEO Rob a headache.

Now Mark, a fat man, is facing the increasingly serious real estate crisis, and the capital chain has problems. If he doesn’t want to find a way to raise money, his foundation will be shaken. It’s useless to hold the equity of a film company. In the past, money can be used as investment. Playing around, now that the fire is burning, there is no need to care about the bullshit ideals of this friend Pierce.

Of course, if Pierce can lend him money or buy his shares, he will not sell it to others. The problem is that Pierce is also poor, so if he has money to lend him, as for another shareholder, that old thing is now It's not easy, holding a large amount of junk bonds in his hand, the stock market is changing, and the real estate stocks he bought caused him to suffer heavy losses.

"That is to say, my dove and magpie's nest plan can be started..." Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, touched his chin with his right hand, and tapped the tabletop of his desk with the fingers of his left hand.

"I contacted Gary for you, and he said that we can talk about it." Fat Carl's eyes flashed with Jing, and he had a treacherous smile on his face.

"The problem is that I can't afford that much money now. I still have less than 40 million in my private account, which is not enough to swallow the shares of the two of them directly." Andy scratched his head a little. In the short subprime mortgage up.

"The latest entry in the company's account is 15 million US dollars, which is the first quarter of this year,

The copyright fee for all your works, and the advertising share of those variety shows in the next quarter are about 10 to 20 million. "Carl handed Andy the financial statement in his hand.

"More than 50 million, that's almost the same. If it doesn't work, I will transfer some from the game company. I don't know how much I will ask for Mark's 20 million and 18%, and Gary's old fox's 22%. "Ann Di was a little troubled by the old man's cunning, after all, he knew very well the proverb that a man is old and a horse is slippery.

"No matter how much he wants, we have to talk to him. If he really wants to sell, it won't be too much. If we have a stalemate with us, the largest shareholder, the shares in his hand may not help him. Earning money, especially, the old man has been absent from the meeting several times, and every time he sends an assistant to attend, I don’t think he has the intention to continue investing in movies.” Carl said his analysis and judgment on the side, Jiu Zhan The plan of the magpie's nest was entrusted to him by Andy, and it is about to succeed, so there is no hesitation.

"You're right. In this case, you call that fatty Mark and say that I want 20 million. I need to ask the school for a leave of absence. Damn it, forget it and call Coach Alexie. ..." After giving Carl the task, he thought that he still had classes in the morning and had to ask for a day off just after he came back. It was really a bit too much, but thinking of the boxing coach, he could help him explain to the academy.

Anyway, as long as the old coach can participate in the competition, he can do anything. After he goes back, he will train hard and win the gold medal, which will be considered as thanks for his care.

In the meeting room of the Mockingjay copyright company, Andy smiled and sent away the fat man Mark Carmen who left with a check. When the two parties met, no one was polite. After all, there was no friendship. One wanted to sell and the other wanted to buy. Come soon.

Walking out of the gate of the Mockingjay copyright company, Mark Kamen's bloated body squeezed into the Mercedes-Benz car, looked at the direction of the conference room on the third floor through the car window, and sighed softly, "Pierce, we have recruited a hungry wolf Ah! Young man, what a good way..."

He was not the only one who sighed so much. After receiving Mark's apology call, Pierce held the phone in silence for a long time, making the CEO Rob Freeman who was sitting opposite him not know the specific content of the call, but he also guessed it. Ten, sighed secretly.

Pierce is just being stupid, and now he can see what Andy's plan is. After all, Andy Smith is the largest shareholder of Summit Entertainment now. With a wry smile on his eyes, he put down the phone in his hand and said helplessly to Rob: "The young people nowadays are really... good means. It seems that my position as the chairman is about to be vacated."

"Chairman, please give Mr. Gary a call. If you can get his support, you can continue..." Rob Freeman didn't want to see him personally visit him and persuade him to be the CEO of the company Just give up like this. Although he is only a professional manager, there are still some closeness.

Of course, this is just out of human nature. To put it bluntly, he is just a professional manager, and what Andy Smith, the largest shareholder, likes most now is to let a professional manager help him manage the company. To some extent, perhaps He is better suited to work under Andy.

"Hehe, I finally understand why Andy Smith left Fat Carl, known as the "Hollywood Vampire" and "Hollywood Bastard", in the company. Look, it's been four months. It’s really a good way to do something.” Pierce laughed a little self-deprecatingly, extremely disappointed.

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm all to blame. I only thought about getting the copyright of those two novels at the time. I didn't expect things to develop to this point..." Rob Freeman's face became extremely ugly.

"You can't just blame you. The matter of exchanging copyrights for shares was decided at a meeting. However, who would have thought that a 21-year-old young man with such a big appetite would rather lose profits than suppress the company's development and squeeze the power of other directors?" The return on investment is really hot!"

Pierce waved his hand with a wry smile, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, looked at the street view of Santa Monica, and said lightly: "As for Gary, do you think Andy Smith will leave us with a loophole? To put it bluntly, in the end I still have to rely on my strength to speak, I don't have as much money as him..."
