Chapter 451: Chaos is coming
Li Ming's importance to the wild horse galloping is undoubted.
And the impact of his sudden death at this time was enormous.
This influence will not only be limited to the Mustang Galloping company, but will gradually spread to the entire private film and television media industry over time.
In order to be able to reap as many benefits as possible in this impact, Li Mo couldn't even settle Gu Limena well, but after saying a few sweet love words, he asked the driver to send her back to school, and he himself and Feng Wen took the plane back to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so as to discuss the next response plan with Zong Shuai.
…………
If Han Shanping is like the driver of a train to Tianying Group, when the original driver retires, the new one can ensure that the train continues to run on the predetermined track as long as he has enough professional knowledge.
Although it may not be possible to increase the speed of this train to a certain extent, it is at least enough to ensure that this train can get on and off passengers step by step, stop at the station, and earn a lot of tickets......
Coupled with the background of state-owned assets, this also makes the 'head' of Tianying Group basically do not need to consider the amount of profit most of the time, and more often, that position is just a qualification for promotion.
But for film and television media companies with private backgrounds, the sudden departure of a founder or veteran may have a great impact on the company.
Among all the private media companies in China, it is generally recognized that Wang's Group and Guanglu Media have indeed gone further and more formally than other companies on the road of formalization, marketization and commercialization.
Of course, they can only be regarded as in the middle of the transformation from a family business to a modern formal media company, but at least, even if Wang Changtian or Wang Zhongjun has an accident, the company will not be in a situation of collapse.
Compared with the above two companies, Mustang Galloping can only be regarded as a family business now.
This point can be illustrated from the equity distribution model of Mustang Galloping.
As the actual controller of Mustang Galloping, Li Ming, the founder, only holds 8% of the shares in the equity distribution of the entire company, and the company's legal person Li Li is Li Ming's sister, and the financial director Li Ping is Li Ming's sister......
…… The most important thing is that the shares in the hands of the two sisters are not less than Li Ming's.
This share distribution model can naturally ensure that the Li family has more seats and voices on the board of directors, but it also sows the seeds of disintegration.
Just like this time, once Li Ming died due to unexpected reasons, no one from top to bottom of the wild horse galloping could stand up and control the situation in this chaotic situation.
Although Li Ming's sisters hold shares and hold important positions in the company, they can be said to know nothing about how to run a film and television media company, and other important members of the company, such as Zhong Lifang and others, do not lack experience in managing the company, but they do not have enough say in the board of directors......
This also led to the unexpected death of Li Ming, the entire Mustang Galloping Company completely relied on inertia and moved forward according to the previously designed trajectory, but anyone who had a little power and a little qualification to enter the conference room of the board of directors was basically thinking about how to get a thick piece of cake for himself in this 'parting feast'.
…………
It wasn't just the heads and brains inside them who wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the wild horses galloping after Li Ming's death.
Although the development of Mustang Galloping in recent years is not as fanfare as that of Wang's Group and Guanglu Media, after more than ten years of accumulation, the film library copyright library has also accumulated a lot of good movies and TV series, which are rare wealth and resources for any media company that is interested in becoming bigger.
However, compared with the wealthy Wang Group and Guanglu Media, Mo Long can only be regarded as a small character at most in this competition, and the reason why Zong Shuai notified Li Mo as soon as possible is more out of a professional habit, feeling that such a thing should be something that the general manager of a company or above should know.
In fact, Zong Shuai's news came very timely.
The sudden death of Li Ming, the general manager of Mustang Galloping, is a very important event in the film and television media industry of the Celestial Empire in the original time and space, and it is also a key turning point for Mustang Galloping from prosperity to decline.
All the problems still stem from an agreement signed between Li Ming and the investor Jianyin Culture before his death.
The content of this agreement is: Jianyin Culture purchased 15% of the shares of Mustang Pentium for 450 million yuan, so as to assist Mustang Pentium to go public.
If Mustang Pentium fails to complete the listing operation within the specified time, Mustang Pentium needs to repurchase the 15% equity in the hands of CCB Culture in full at the original price and pay up to 200 million yuan in interest.
If Li Ming is still here, although this agreement is still not fair, but the Mustang Galloping up and down may still fight for the realization of the goal of listing, but with Li Ming's sudden death, and after the Li family and the company's shareholders started a battle of interests, the entire Mustang Gallop up and down, no one still pays attention to the so-called listing.
The Li family feels that the company is hopeless anyway, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to reap some practical benefits;
Other shareholders feel that without Li Ming, the person at the helm, it is difficult for Mustang Galloping to continue to grow and develop, rather than let the shares in their hands become waste paper in the end, it is better to take advantage of the company's value to stop loss and cash out as soon as possible;
Although the two sides have different goals, one thing is the same, that is, both sides are trying to fight for control of the wild horse galloping, so that they can maximize the benefits in the face of foreign capital......
It's a pity that, according to Li Moyuan's memories of time and space, in this battle, both sides are losers in the end.
When CCB Culture signed an agreement with Mustang Pentium, the valuation of Mustang Pentium was 3 billion yuan;
Before Li Ming's death, Wang's Group once came to the door, hoping to wholly acquire Mustang Galloping at a valuation of 5.4 billion yuan;
After Li Ming's death, Wasu Media once offered 3 billion yuan to propose a merger and acquisition request;
But these are all in vain because of the infighting between the Li family and various shareholders.
When the listing failed and CCB Culture initiated the breach of contract repurchase clause, the overall valuation of Mustang Galloping was only 380 million yuan......
Not to mention cashing out for profits, it is not enough to repay the principal of the agreement of CCB Culture.
After a long litigation cycle of more than four years, as of the time of Li Mo's crossing, the final receiver of Mustang Galloping was a company named Ranteng Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., whether it was the Li family or the shareholders of the original company, and the shares in their hands were finally forced to auction because they could not repay the arrears of Jianyin Culture.
And after Li Mo traveled to this time and space, due to the strong rise of Molong Media, the 'big gamble' of the wild horse galloping was even more exaggerated than the original time and space.
…… In this time and space, Li Ming still signed a VAM agreement with Jianyin Culture.
In that agreement, he pressed 25% of the shares of Mustang Gallop in exchange for 500 million yuan, but the subject of the mortgage in the agreement was not the listing of Mustang Galloping, but the profit of the special effects masterpiece "Taiping Wheel" directed by Wu Yusen, which was scheduled to be released in the second half of 2014.
In other words, if "Taiping Wheel" does not reap the rich returns that Li Ming expected, then he will basically have to accept the reality of the company changing hands.
When Li Mo repeatedly confirmed and finally believed the news from Zong Shuai, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"If you don't die, you won't die. Mustang galloped and chose thousands of choices, and actually pressed the treasure on Wu Yusen's movie, not to mention that Li Ming had died, even if he didn't die suddenly, it is estimated that when he saw the box office data of "Taiping Wheel", he couldn't bear such a big blow, right?"
Sigh or sigh, Li Mo is more concerned about another thing.
What can Meron gain from this opportunity......
This is, of course, the most important thing he wants to discuss with the sect marshal.
