Chapter 184 is rich and rich

Billy and Ethan Entertainment, the name is clear at a glance, it is Billy and his partner, more accurately, it is an entertainment company run by his former partner Ethan. Of course, in addition to Billy and Ethan, there are several other minority shareholders.

It's a small company in Los Angeles that, while small, like many start-ups, was ambitious from the start. Billy had been in the pop music industry for many years, and Ethan was a well-known independent film director, so the company was ready to grow in two fields from the beginning, with Billy in charge of creating pop music and Ethan continuing to make independent films.

At first, it seemed to be thriving. Ethan has made four independent films in a row with investments between $300,000 and $500,000, all of which have been successful, grossing around $2 million. Although each film has other investors, so the company does not make much, that is, about 200,000 yuan per film, such success has allowed Billy and Ethan Entertainment to make a name for themselves in Hollywood's chaotic independent film scene.

And Billy also gained a lot, with his own relationship and vision, Billy from Disney's "Star Factory", has recruited four men, six women and ten young singers, formed an elf bird singing group, ready to create an idol group.

Disney's "star-making factory" is actually a very cruel star-making system. Every year, Disney looks for potential little singers and movie stars from all over the world, and quickly builds them into child star idols, boy and girl idols. But when those idols become adults and face a transition period, Disney will abandon them mercilessly. Because the cost of transforming from a child star to an adult star is too high, Disney is unwilling to invest that money and energy.

Among them, those child stars who have become famous are lucky, at least they have had brilliant fireworks, and those who are selected, but become "substitutes", there are even more boys and girls, they have the dream of becoming famous, with a minimum weekly salary of a few hundred dollars, training, studying, dancing and singing, and performing acupuncture...... , until adulthood, and then likewise ruthlessly abandoned.

It was in this situation that Billy succeeded in leak detection.

Ethan and several other minority shareholders were even more ambitious, so they unanimously decided to spend $3 million to create a "commercial blockbuster" and no longer look for other investors, that is, independent investment in the company. Such an all-or-nothing approach, to be honest, Billy was a little worried. But first, Ethan's past achievements are indeed convincing; second, the other shareholders of the company unanimously agree, Billy just wants to oppose it, and it is still invalid; third, in any case, at the beginning stage, Ethan is making money, and Billy is spending money to build idols, and the right to speak is also very weak. So in the end, this "commercial blockbuster" was unsurprisingly grandly launched......

The result may have been guessed, and the pounce didn't even know his mother. At this point, the company has reached the point of insolvency. Ethan and several other minority shareholders saw that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and if they wanted to continue, they would have to inject private capital again. In this case, he simply "gifted" all his shares to Billy, and then left the company one after another. Billy was left alone to barely hold on......

......

So now Billy is hungry. He doesn't care about any "idol image" and "creating high-end" ...... , relying on his good popularity for many years, he took the elf bird everywhere and looked for all possible customers. And now, seeing that Jing Jian seemed interested, Billy immediately sent a business card.

"Those actors are very good, especially the basic skills. Jing Jian complimented a few words, which made a smile appear on Billy's face. Although Disney is a "vampire", its learning course must be quite professional, and then Billy is carefully cultivated, so the performances of these boys and girls are already second-rate.

Then, Jing Jian asked again: "Are these actors from your company?"

"Yes, they are all signed artists of the company. ”

"Alright, Mr. Billy, how do these artists sell? While talking, Jing Jian smiled at Jiang Zhijiao, "With them, it will be much more convenient to accompany in the future." ”

"Ahem, ahem. "It's so hanging, Jiang Zhijiao didn't squirt out a sip of red wine. The case for the acquisition is too strong.

Billy also became stunned, stunned for a long time, and then explained uncertainly: "Sir, these children are still too young, they still need the training of professional teachers, and they also need professionals to take care of them." And our company can better ......", now the company is only left with the last "high-quality asset" of the elf bird, if it is sold, it is better to close the door at that time.

Jing Jian showed a puzzled look: "I didn't hinder their cultivation and development? It's just my family's party, let them perform and accompaniment, there won't be many times a year, and I don't hold a concert." It's just for convenience, and I like them too. As for ...... future, your company can continue to take care of it?" Jing Jian showed impatience as he spoke, "Then it's simpler, Mr. Billy, how much does your company sell?"

Jiang Zhijiao's five-body throwing to the ground is the feeling of "local tyrants, giving birth to monkeys for you". This is the life of two levels and two planes, which fully embodies the true meaning of wealth!

Look at the young boys and girls in the distance, and find that they are chatting next to the stage, and if you look closely, there are indeed a few girls who are very beautiful, Jiang Zhijiao thought for a moment, thinking that he had found the truth. He immediately became domineering: "Mr. Billy, do you think Mr. Jing ......?"

"Brother Jiang, my English name is Bramble. ”

"Oh, do you think Mr. Bramble can't afford it?"

It's not that complicated at all. Jing Jian is pretending to be forced, and he wants to give Jiang Zhijiao an impression. As for Billy's yes or no, it doesn't matter.

"No, no. Billy's mind was racing. For this company, he has personally invested more than 400,000 dollars. If you want to continue to maintain, it is best to inject more than 200,000 yuan. Otherwise, I don't even know how long it will last. And the elf bird is also his own hard work, so he is really reluctant to give up like this. Since someone wants to buy it, then there is no harm in talking?

Thinking of this, Billy immediately smiled: "Mr. Bramble." If you want to buy, $1 million. I can promise you a stake, but I'm going to keep 40% of the shares. And when it comes to the music side of the business, you can't interfere at will. Of course, I promise, I will be accountable to you, the majority shareholder. ”
