Sixty-eighth Digital Realm
After handing over the acquisition of two special effects companies and Motorola to Charles, Ang Lee left Lehman Brothers.
took out his mobile phone and called An Mingxin: Hey, Mingxin!
An Mingxin said: I've been very tired in the past two days, do you know? "Mr. Zombie" is really popular, and now there is a long queue at the entrance of An's theater.
Li An said with a smile: No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat, and let them do what you can give them.
An Mingxin hummed softly and said It's something in the United States, and you won't call me half.
Ang Lee said, "Help me pledge Ann's shares to the bank!" and then exchange them into dollars and put them on my card.
An Mingxin said: Is it enough?
Ang Lee smiled and said: Enough, more than enough.
An Mingxin said: Okay, I'll call the bank later, and I'll transfer the money to your card tomorrow.
An Mingxin, who hung up the phone, shouted: Xiaoyu, come in.
An Mingxin's assistant pushed the door and walked in. Holding a form in his hand, he handed it to An Mingxin and said: Mr. An, this is the box office data of the seven days of the national situation, you can take a look.
An Mingxin took the form and said: You take this share certificate to the bank tomorrow to take out a loan of 1.5 billion US dollars, I will write you a card number, the card owner is Li An, just call his card directly.
Xiao Yu nodded and walked out.
An Mingxin took out the form and looked at it.
As expected.
First place, Mr. Zombie, box office 450 million yuan, An's Pictures.
second place, retired agent, box office 340 million yuan, Phoenix Film and Television.
third place, Kung Fu Kid, box office 280 million yuan, Vantone Film and Television.
There has not changed much, only "Mr. Zombie" has sprung up, and the five people in the film have also become popular fried chickens.
Looking at this satisfactory answer, An Mingxin was overjoyed.
This is the assistant Xiaoyu knocked on An Mingxin's door again and whispered: Mr. An, Mr. Lin Huaqiang of Phoenix Film and Television is here. Did you see me?
An Mingxin nodded and said, "Please come in, Mr. Lin, and help me make two cups of tea."
After a while, Lin Huaqiang walked in, looked at Lin Huaqiang with a lonely face and said: Welcome to Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong?
Lin Huaqiang said: I want to meet Ang Lee, I went to Wanda to look for him just now, and the company said that he was not there.
An Mingxin said: Do you have anything to do with Li An? He is now abroad, and he is indeed not in the company.
Lin Huaqiang nodded and said in a lonely voice: I want to apologize to him, and I also apologize to you, I was wrong before, please accept my apology. After speaking, Lin Huaqiang bowed to An Mingxin.
An Mingxin hurriedly stood up and said: Uncle Lin, you are an elder, just talk about something, we juniors like you can't afford it.
Lin Hua straightened up and said: You can afford it, since Li An is no longer there, I am apologizing to him when he comes back, goodbye.
After speaking, Lin Huaqiang walked out of the office.
Lin Huaqiang's intention made An Mingxin confused, could he really have changed, it was still a bitter trick.
Forget it, I don't want to, I still have to guard against him in the future.
The next morning, Charles called Ang Lee and said that he had already negotiated with the president of the digital field, and that the acquisition of the digital field only required to pay $20 million plus bear the company's debt of 65 million, and Ang Lee could go back today.
Of course, Ang Lee had to go and see it, he flew to Los Angeles and took a taxi to the office building in the digital field.
It is a modern building with about 50 floors.
Ang Lee walked in and reported his name, and after a while, Rose, the president of the digital field, walked down. After seeing Li An, he eagerly stretched out his hand and said: Welcome to Mr. Li, my name is Ross, let me take you to visit the company!
The digital domain is leased to ten floors in this building, with the upper two floors for office work and the lower one for film and television companies to shoot.
Ross took Ang Lee on a tour of the history of the digital field, as well as all the accolades he has received, how many films he has done special effects, and so on.
There are currently 900 employees in the digital field, 2 rendering farms, specializing in rendering all kinds of large-scale scenes, such as war scenes, how can a war cost tens of thousands of people, there are not so many people, so only a few main actors are needed, and the rest can be produced with special effects. It really deserves to be a top special effects company, and it will take at least 10 years for China to catch up in this regard.
Ang Lee chatted with Ross for a while, and found that this person is also very talented, but the special effects company does not make money, and the general environment is like this, and it has nothing to do with Rose. Ang Lee plans to let him lead the digital field at that time, and he just needs to throw money at it.
Ang Lee said to Rose: I am very satisfied with the digital field, I can see that you are very capable, the company's environment and the atmosphere of communication between welfare colleagues are not much compared to top companies, I can see that you are very good to them, the reason why there are so many losses in the digital field should be that you are not attached to them!
Ross smiled awkwardly when he heard Ang Li's words and said: Yes, you can see it very clearly, I am 54 years old this year, my wife passed away 5 years ago, I have no children, money is not important to me, my current ideal is to let these brothers who have followed me for decades live a good life, but I don't have too strong ability, so after a few years, the company is about to go bankrupt, so I want to sell the company and share the money with the big guy, and I will retire.
Originally, you should be easy to fool if you are a young man from the East, but now it seems that it is no accident that you can negotiate such a big business at such a young age.
Why don't you go?
After saying that, Rose walked back with a lonely face.
Wait a minute, Mr. Ross. Ang Lee shouted.
Rose turned his head and looked at Ang Lee suspiciously.
Ang Lee smiled at Ross and said, "I know the loss in the digital field, but I didn't say I didn't want to buy him!"
After listening to Ang Lee's words, Ross immediately rejoiced and said: Lee, are you really still willing to acquire the digital field?
Ang Lee smiled and said: Yes, because the digital field makes me feel like a company with a soul, the people in it are enthusiastic, and they are not passive at all because the company is about to go bankrupt.
Ross smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you very much for your evaluation, if you really want to buy the digital space, you can give 15 million dollars."
But I hope you don't fire these employees, they are all very good special effects talents.
Ang Lee said: I have several conditions for acquiring the digital field, please listen to him first! First, I hope that you will continue to be the president of the digital field until you retire.
Second, the wages and benefits you give are too high, although I think they deserve such a high salary, but I still have a lot of companies, and the gap is not too big, after all, their wages are 50% higher than those of Industrial Light & Magic, and I will reduce the wages of the company's employees by 30%, but I will set up a branch in China in the digital field, and the wages of all employees who are willing to go to China will be increased by 50%. And promise to give a house after working for five years.
Rose thought for a while and said: Yes, I'm glad they didn't sell to a capitalist, then you will be my boss in the future.
Ang Lee smiled and said: We will be colleagues in the future, you can go and inform them now, and I will ask Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the largest accounting firm in the United States, to come over to reconcile the accounts, and I will have a meeting after the accounts are settled.
Rose nodded and walked back to the company, he wanted everyone in the company to get the news.
Half an hour later, Deloitte & Touche Tohmatsu came with 6 professional accountants.
Ang Lee sat in his office in the digital realm, drinking tea with Ross, waiting for the accounts to be counted.
About three hours later, someone from Deloitte came over and handed Ang Lee a financial statement in the digital field.
Ang Lee looked at it and saw that there was no problem, took out a check, opened a check for $20 million, and handed it to Rose.
Rose took it and saw that it was 20 million US dollars, then handed the check to Ang Lee and said: You can give 15 million US dollars.
Ang Lee looked at this very practical American and said: I think the digital field is worth all this money, okay, don't dwell on it, just treat it as a benefit for employees!
Ross stood up and hugged Ang Lee and said, "You are a good leader, and I will definitely take care of the digital field for you."
Ang Lee said: Well, let's work together!
