540, the first cinema in China (two-in-one)

Cao Wenyu took a sip of the sake in front of him, put down the wine glass and said, "I heard Zechu say before, Mr. Hu seems to be more interested in Wenyu Cinema. ”

Hearing this, Hu Shuo put down the tableware in his hand and wiped his hands with a napkin, he knew that Cao Wenyu was finally going to talk about business.

"Is Dong Cao interested in selling Wenyu Cinema?"

Hu Shuo asked straightforwardly.

"It is indeed preparing to sell a part of the shares of Wenyu Cinema Line. Cao Wenyu said.

Hearing this, Hu Shuo shook his head and chuckled: "I thought that Cao Dong was preparing to sell all the shares of Wenyu Cinema Line. ”

"So Mr. Hu intends to wholly acquire Wenyu Cinemas?"

Hu Shuo nodded: "I do have this intention." ”

"Well, this is like Mr. Hu's style. Cao Wenyu pondered, and after a while, said: "If it is a wholly-owned acquisition of the entire Wenyu Cinema Line, it is not impossible, but Mr. Hu knows what the entire Wenyu Cinema Line means, so if the entire Cinema Line is acquired, the price per share will be much higher than the acquisition of part of the equity......

"Of course I do. ”

"As long as Cao Dong is willing to sell 100% of the equity of the entire Wenyu Cinema Line, the price is negotiable. ”

Hu Shuo smiled lightly, although Wenyu Group is now in turmoil, and the valuation of Wenyu Cinema has also fallen sharply, but if you want to acquire Wenyu Cinema Line with 100% of the shares, you must buy it at a premium according to the current market value, but it is just a matter of how much premium.

"Well, it seems that Mr. Hu is really sincere!" Cao Wenyu sighed.

"That's nature!"

"Presumably Cao Dong also has his own psychological price, you might as well talk about it. Hu Shuo went straight to the point, of course, this is also a kind of temptation.

"Well...... this"

Cao Wenyu dragged a long note, muttered for a while, and then stretched out three fingers.

"Reasonable. ”

Hu Shuo didn't bargain, but faintly agreed, and then changed his words: "However, the price that Cao Dong said should be the price of Wenyu Cinema a year ago, and now, I'm afraid this price is a little untenable." ”

"The value of Wenyu Cinema is not just the value on paper, Mr. Hu should be clear about this. ”

Hu Shuo nodded slightly and pointed to a sea urchin on the table: "Just like it, there is still a difference between the actual value and the selling price." ”

"Hu always understands people, the benefits of acquiring Wenyu Cinemas, I believe you know better than me. ”

Cao Wenyu picked up the wine glass again and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"Regarding the value of Wenyu Cinema, I need to evaluate it before giving an answer to Cao Dong. In fact, Hu Shuo had asked someone to do the value evaluation of Wenyu Cinema before, because his goal was to acquire Wenyu Cinema, so the preliminary work still had to be done, but the final result has not yet come out.

Wenyu Cinema Line may be the second largest cinema chain in China, and it is naturally not an easy task to complete the real valuation of such a behemoth, and it requires a large amount of research and integration work to do.

At this point, the goals and intentions of both parties have been talked about the same, so the two of them didn't talk much about the acquisition of Wenyu Cinemas.

After the dinner, the two went back separately.

When Cao Wenyu arrived home, Cao Zechu had just arrived home.

"Dad, how are you doing over there?"

Tonight, the father and son acted separately, Cao Wenyu invited Hu Shuo, and Cao Zechu met Xu Jiayi.

Biyuan Group, represented by Xu Jiayi, and Chuangshi Entertainment, represented by Hu Shuo, are the two companies that are most interested in Wenyu Cinemas, and Biyuan Group is still a strategic partner with Wenyu Group.

However, from the very beginning of the cooperation, Biyuan Group wants to use Wenyu Group as a springboard, so as to officially enter the entertainment market, if it is possible to swallow part of the industry of Wenyu Group by the way, and Wenyu Cinema Line is naturally a piece of fat that Biyuan Group is staring at.

The Cao family and his son also knew this, so when they decided to break their arms to protect themselves, they took the lead in finding Biyuan Group and Hu Shuo, who were most interested in Wenyu Cinemas.

Because Cao Zechu and Hu Shuo have a deep relationship, Cao Wenyu personally came forward to invite Hu Shuo, and Cao Zechu came forward from Biyuan Group.

"Hu Shuo has been coveting our cinema chain for a long time, and he naturally wants to acquire 100% of the shares!"

Cao Wenyu replied and asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"Biyuan's meaning is the same as Hu Shuo's, and he also wants to acquire 100% of the shares. Cao Zechu replied.

"It seems that Biyuan Group's ambitions are not small, I really don't know where they came from such an urgent desire to enter the entertainment market. ”

Cao Wenyu sat on the sofa and took a cigarette out, and Cao Zechu hurriedly helped his father light it.

"Since both of them want to buy 100% of the shares, then it depends on who has the highest price, so we can wait for the price to sell!"

Cao Wenyu said while smoking a cigarette.

"I revealed the price of 30 billion to Xu Jiayi, I wanted to see her reaction, and she directly denied the price, presumably they had already investigated and evaluated the value of Wenyu Cinemas. ”

After Hu Shuo heard this price, he didn't have much reaction. ”

Cao Wenyu spat out a puff of smoke and asked, "Ze Chu, if this matter can make you decide, who do you want the next owner of Wenyu Cinema to be?"

"I prefer Biyuan Group, if Biyuan Group takes over our cinema line, the share of domestic cinema chains can also maintain the current balance, if the cinema line is in the hands of Hu Shuo, Wanli Cinema Line will be a monopoly, the scale is much larger than Tahoe Cinema Line, and the existence of such a super-scale cinema line should not be a good thing for the film market!"

Cao Zechu gave his own response.

"Putting aside your personal preconceptions about Hu Shuo, how about looking at this matter?"

In Cao Wenyu's opinion, the reason why his son made such a choice should be more because of Hu Shuo, he didn't want to see Hu Shuo win.

"Dad, this is what I really think, without any prejudices!"

"The share of domestic cinemas to maintain the status quo is still good for us to make a comeback in the future, if the cinemas are pinched by Hu Shuo, it will be even more difficult for us to come back. ”

Cao Zechu explained.

"I don't see you the same. ”

Cao Wenyu waved his hand and said: "Through what he did before, as well as this conversation with Hu Shuo, it can be seen that this is a righteous person, walking on the right side, there will be no worries about cooperating with such a person, you think about it carefully, in several confrontations with Hu Shuo, he has always used yang schemes, never conspiracy, and anything is also on the table!"

"Wenyu Cinema can be handed over to such a person for a longer period of time and will not die out, this is my little selfishness, and from the perspective of the future development of our group, after losing the cinema line, if we want to make achievements in the film market, we must have a stable cooperative cinema chain, and the larger the scale of this cinema chain, the better, the better it will be for us. ”

"Then, when talking with Hu Shuo about the acquisition of Wenyu Cinemas, we can add a provision for follow-up cooperation in the acquisition contract, and in the future, Hu Shuo's Wanli Cinemas or Wenyu Cinemas must give priority to the films produced by Wenyu Group, and the proportion of box office accounts can also ......be discussed."

"Ze Chu, think about it, our Wenyu Cinema Line plus Wanli Cinema Line, after the merger of these two cinema lines, it will become the largest cinema chain in China, if we can bind the cooperative relationship with the largest cinema chain in China, is it more beneficial to the subsequent development of the group?"

"And because the person we want to cooperate with is Hu Shuo, he has a strong character, so there is still a guarantee to cooperate with him, on the contrary, you know the situation of Biyuan Group, they can have this scale today, it can be said that it is unscrupulous, after the theater chain is sold to them, there is no guarantee for follow-up cooperation, and once the hostile relationship between Biyuan Group and Hu Shuo continues, we will involve a problem of standing in line, and the movies we produce still have to choose between the two theaters, and we will naturally fall into a passive situation at that time……”

Cao Wenyu breathed smoke while saying slowly, as the founder of Wenyu Group and an entrepreneur of the older generation, his vision is still much more long-term than his son Cao Zechu, and he is more thoughtful.

"Dad, are you sure we will have a happy cooperation with Hu Shuo?"

Cao Zechu frowned, skeptical of Cao Wenyu's words.

"I'm sure!"

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, once we sell Wenyu Cinema to Hu Shuo, the hostile relationship between us will end.

"And our group is no longer a threat to Hu Shuo, he holds the largest cinema chain in China, and we are just a simple content provider, there is no conflict of interest between us, but relying on each other, from the perspective of interests, of course, we can have a good cooperation at that time!"

"It's just that your mentality needs to be adjusted, and this is also a challenge for you......"

Cao Wenyu extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and cast a meaningful glance at Cao Zechu.

From the prosperity of the group to the current situation, in fact, Cao Zechu has played a "crucial" role, if it were not for his insistence and jealousy and conceit to start a war with Hu Shuo, why would the group have fallen to this.

But from beginning to end, Cao Wenyu actually did not criticize his son very harshly, as a person who came over, he clearly knew that men always have to grow up, mature, and finally succeed in the midst of setbacks.

Therefore, in fact, when the Wenyu Group was handed over to Cao Zechu, Cao Wenyu planned for the worst, he was already old, and he had saved enough money, if one day his son really defeated the huge group, it was a big deal that Cao Wenyu was looking for a comfortable place to live for the rest of his life.

As for his son Cao Zechu, he can only say that he does not have the ability to protect the "country", and he will also pay for his mistakes.

And the current situation of Wenyu Group, in fact, is not the worst situation, the two pillar industries have lost one of them, if Cao Zechu can learn from this failure, Wenyu Group still has hope to rise again, although it is almost impossible to return to the peak, but there is still hope.

Cao Zechu lowered his head and was silent, he could naturally understand his father's good intentions, and he had already realized the mistakes he had made, but he really couldn't get over Hu Shuo's hurdle in his heart.

Originally, in his eyes, the other party was just a "little white face" who relied on his father-in-law and wife, but now this little white face actually defeated himself with his own hands and defeated the huge Wenyu Group in less than a year.

Cao Zechu was 10,000 dissatisfied and unwilling in his heart, of course, there were also reasons for Yang Yunyan, the other party was his own goddess, and a large part of the reason why he competed with Hu Shuo at the beginning was also to prove to his goddess that he was stronger than her husband.

However, now his goddess's second child is about to be born, and he is losing in the competition with her husband!

This night was destined to be sleepless for Cao Zechu, and the feeling of remorse always lingered in his heart, if time could be turned back, he would definitely not choose to provoke Hu Shuo and start a war with him......

In the following week, the negotiators of Chuangshi Group and Wenyu Group conducted several rounds of negotiations on the acquisition of Wenyu Cinema Line, and at the same time, Wenyu Group was naturally in contact with Biyuan Group.

However, in the end, Cao Wenyu still made the decision to sell Wenyu Cinema to Hu Shuo, and the transaction price was 28 billion!!

According to the terms of the contract between the two parties, at the same time as the acquisition was reached, the two parties also signed a ten-year long-term cooperation contract, and ten years from the date of signing, the films produced by Wenyu Group will be given priority to the right to schedule films in Wanli Cinemas, and the box office share ratio is also 3 percentage points more than the normal cooperation model.

These additional conditions are actually just a piece of cake for Hu Shuo, as Cao Wenyu analyzed, after the acquisition of Wenyu Cinemas, there is basically no competition between the two companies, after all, it is no longer an entertainment company of magnitude.

As for the box office account with a 3 percentage point discount, it is just a small amount of money for Hu Shuo, who has a big family.

However, the successful acquisition of Wenyu Cinema Line is of great significance to Hu Shuo and Genesis Group, because from now on, Hu Shuo will control the largest cinema chain in China, and Genesis Group has also become a giant enterprise in the domestic film market, and even directly surpasses Tahoe Sky in terms of distribution capacity.

And after the news of Hu Shuo's successful acquisition of Wenyu Cinema Line spread, it naturally shocked the whole network!

"I'll go, it's exciting news, Brother Shuo is mighty!!"

"Wenyu Group is still defeated after all! Brother Shuo is too strong!"

"From now on, there will be no more Wenyu Cinemas!

"Haha, in less than a year, he directly defeated the Wenyu Group, and Brother Shuo did it!"

"In other words, Wenyu Cinema is going to merge with Wanli Cinema Line???"

"Oh my God, Brother Shuo is too good, he actually directly acquired Wenyu Cinema Line!"

"Hu Shuo: Zuozuo, Dad bought you more than 200 movie theaters......

"It's obviously just a daddy, but what he does is earth-shattering, and there is no one!"

"On Friday, Brother Shuo is still selling cuteness in "Where Are You Going, Dad", however, he has become a domineering president so soon!"

"After fighting for so long, I finally decided the winner, but I didn't expect the huge Wenyu Group to be unable to bear it so soon, I thought it would be able to carry it for another year. ”

"My father-in-law is mighty, and our family's property has increased again, haha, now we just have to wait for Zuo Zuo to grow up......"
