"Mr. Wei, your appetite is a bit big, whether it's 30 percent or 15 percent, I am confident in the prospects of my film company. I believe that if the listing is successful in one or two years, the return will definitely be very considerable. And in terms of movies, I believe that you don't have to think of crooked ideas, the big sales of movies will definitely make you satisfied with your investment, which is a real return. And it can have a huge positive impact on your company, which is not something that money can measure......"

He Zilong said similarly: "If it's only 10 million US dollars, what I want to say is that as long as you pay some interest, I believe that it can be approved from the formal channels of the bank." Why should I sell my shares......

The seemingly tactful refusal is actually a condition, and the subtext is that you give too little money!

Just as He Zilong was about to continue, Wei Dongshan interrupted him with a smile. said: "You are optimistic about the prospects of your company, and so am I." Don't forget, young man, you can get 10 percent of a big casino gambling ship! And that 10 percent is entirely yours personally, not your company. ”

"I'm just as optimistic about the future of the gambling boat, think about it. That's 10% of a luxury gambling ship, and Boss Lei is also cooperating, and the tripartite cooperation can guarantee your benefits to the public. You gave me 15 percent of the shares in the film company, but the dividends you can get there every year are not a small number, and this figure is enough to make up for the loss of your shares in the film company......"

Wei Dongshan seemed to have a few truths in what he said, so much so that He Zilong fell into deep thought after hearing it.

However, soon He Zilong woke up to something.

His film company is not listed, but it also has a proportion of shares, in order to win over Boss Lei, and to motivate his confidants. Having engaged in an employee stock ownership plan, Boss Lei also has some shares of his own company, and of course, he also has some shares of Boss Lei's company, which is mixed with each other and is also a kind of trust.

If you give Wei Dongshan another 15%, plus Boss Lei's, he only accounts for 40%, in case some loose shares are quietly gathered together in the future, and people will collect them together, as long as someone exceeds 41%, then it is really difficult to say whether he is the largest shareholder in the original film company.

Singapore's forces are very rich, and their assets of more than 100 million yuan are not big, and they are actually not worth mentioning compared to them.

As the saying goes, it is easy to please God, it is difficult to send God, it is easy to ride a tigress, but it is difficult to come down. It's easy to let foreign forces in, but if you fall out in the future and want to drive him out, it's much more difficult, right?

Thinking of this, He Zilong gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei." Fifteen percent of the stake is a bit of a risk, and it affects my sense of security, if only 10 percent. I can think about it, and the ten million dollars you said, still have to be counted in it......"

Hearing He Zilong's answer, Wei Dongshan's expression was obviously surprised.

A trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then just when Boss Lei was on the side and wanted to persuade him, he said: "To be honest, I was really surprised to hear this statement of yours, the money was given, but the shares were dropped, do you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?"

"But, you'll still agree, won't you?" He Zilong's face suddenly flashed with confidence.

"Well...... Wei Dongshan pondered slightly: "Well, it's also a good thing for young people to have self-confidence, for the sake of the alliance, and also taking into account my daughter's recommendation." I can pay you 10 million dollars, but the shares must be 12 percent. Young man, you must understand that our family's capital injection is equivalent to making you an important ally of the Wei family in Singapore. At the same time, it is also a necessary condition to create an iron triangle between Boss Lei, you, and me, otherwise, we will move towards cooperation with the Shaw Brothers, do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, I promise you, but with two conditions......" He Zilong said suddenly.

"What conditions ......?" Wei Dongshan asked.

"That is, as long as the shares of the film company are the original shares, any shareholder has the right to inform when they are sold, as well as my right of first refusal. Also, I will always retain the company's personnel rights......" He Zilong replied.

As soon as He Zilong's answer was finished, Wei Dongshan's eyes, which were originally as calm as water, suddenly burst into a strange look in an instant. There was a clear look of approval in his eyes.

"Okay!" he suddenly laughed: "You remind me of a person, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are such an interesting young man! It seems that your success is not a fluke, and, for my daughter's sake, I can only say, OK, deal!"

"Happy cooperation......" He Zilong took a deep breath and raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Happy ...... cooperation"

-

Maintaining a sense of security in shares, forcibly retaining the actual control of the company, and the right to appoint and dismiss personnel, this is He Zilong's bottom line.

Similarly, for the affairs of the gambling ship, even if it is a shareholder, He Zilong will not take care of it. This is one of the quid pro quo!

Thinking about future generations, Mr. Ma's shares in Ali only account for about 8%. However, it can still have control of the company, which is also contractually agreed. When Mr. Ma was looking for financing, he approached many people, but many of them did not have venture capital.

Sun Zhengyi only gave Mr. Ma $20 million that year, and with the development of Ali's business, he chased $60 million after tasting the sweetness.

SoftBank once owned more than 35% of the shares, and after several cash-outs, SoftBank has a stake of 29.6% and remains the largest shareholder. However, as the largest shareholder of Alibaba, why does it not have actual control and voice in the company?

That's because, while only owning a small part of the equity, while ensuring the control of Mr. Ma and the founding team, Ali proposed an alternative to the "partnership system".

Specific individuals who identify with the company's culture and have been with the company for at least 5 years are identified as partners – in fact, a group of senior executives. In other words, this group of senior executives can decide what happens in Alibaba, not the people who have the most shares.

At the same time, Mr. Ma's ability is also recognized. Others are afraid that they can't do better than him, so they willingly relinquish control and sign contracts.

As the saying goes, when you have made an agreement in advance and have irreplaceable abilities. No matter what you do, your words are the final decision, and no one can replace you.

Ability determines your strength!

After drinking the red wine that celebrated the happiness of cooperation, the three people in the room all looked at each other and laughed.

Putting down the wine glass, Wei Dongshan suddenly smiled and said to He Zilong: "Oh, by the way, our gambling boat will be launched next week, let's come over and have a look at it when the time comes...... After all, you also own a portion of the shares. ”

"Okay!" He Zilong swallowed the wine in one gulp, put down the glass, I don't know why, but there was some bitterness in his mouth in the joy, and there was some entanglement between the excitement.
