Chapter 165: Jurassic Park
When Schweider and Scott Davis heard this, they both showed a hint of embarrassment when they saw that their calculations had been seen through by Henry, but they certainly couldn't admit it on the surface......
"Mr. Williams, you think too much, how could we possibly do that?"
"Hehe," Henry shrugged, "that maybe, the so-called peers are enemies, after all, Nicholas Express and your company are in a competitive relationship......"
Henry said, paused again, and smiled: "So, if the Nicholas Group still has an absolute controlling stake, I don't mind the cross-swap ......"
Henry's ambition is very big, while ensuring the absolute controlling stake of Nicholas Express Company, he also wants to infiltrate FedEx and UPS through cross-share swaps, and eat them up little by little! These two companies have many shareholders, the number of shares is relatively scattered, because of the good development, shareholders are reluctant to sell shares, so it is unlikely to want to acquire it in a short period of time, only to prepare for long-term acquisition, and when the shares obtained in the company have a huge right to speak, it will promote the merger plan of several express companies!
At present, it is already the world's strongest courier company, UPS United Parcel Courier Service Company + FedEx Company of the United States + Nicholas Express Company with great potential = Super Invincible Big Mac Logistics Company!!
And Schweider and Scott Davis thought about it for a while, then looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other, after all, Nicholas Express has great development potential, and it will not be long before it will grow and become a courier company close to their level. Therefore, if you exchange shares now, they can take advantage of the low market value of Nicholas Express!
Shi Weide said: "Okay, then we have a little less cross-swap. We, FedEx, took 3% of the shares in exchange for Nicholas Express.12 5% of the shares......"
After Schweder finished speaking, Scott Davis continued: "Then our UPS United Parcel Service will be 2. 5% of the shares for Nicholas Express 12. 5% of the shares! The remaining 75% of the shares, your company Nicholas Group and NEL Logistics will share one point according to the proportion of shareholding, and you can also get 56 shares. 25% to achieve absolute control!"
Henry didn't agree, but smiled.
"Don't have 5% of the shares, then you don't have a say......" Henry said lightly. However, according to the provisions of the "Company Law", shareholders with more than 5% of the equity have the right to request the listed company to disclose information, and will have a certain voting right at the shareholders' meeting, so as not to be trapped!
"What do you mean?" asked Schweider.
"Simple. The Nicholas Group finances both companies!" Henry laughed, "Wouldn't that be a 5% stake!"
The two frowned slightly, and they also vaguely saw Henry's intentions, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Henry's appetite was so big! This matter cannot be easily agreed, in case the wolf is lured into the house, the company will be controlled by him......
"Financing is not necessary, and we are in a very good financial position at UPS!" said Scott Davis.
Schweide also refused: "We don't need financing for FedEx either......"
"Oh, that's it, forget it...... It seems that you have made a trip in vain!" said Henry.
Schweeder and Scott Davis smiled and said nothing. After that, there was no talk of cross-swapping.
Ten minutes later, Henry sent the two of them out of the company.
Henry looked at their backs. muttered, "If you have the chance, you still have to secretly buy some shares in their company......"

The box office of the movie "Desert Island Survivor" exceeded $100 million in the first week, and it was the first box office of the week, which shocked many people. In the following three weeks, "Desert Island" still ranked first at the box office, and in just one month, "Desert Island" created a total of 2 North Americans. $800 million at the box office. At the same time, the movie was also released overseas, although the box office effect was not as good as that of the United States. But it's also very hot!
At this time, the American newspaper reported: "The movie "Desert Island" was originally distributed by Warner Pictures, and as a result, Warner Pictures invested in the movie "Robin Hood", the prince of thieves, in order to release it. However, it snatched 1,000 screens from the movie "Desert Island", which eventually led Galaxy Pictures to 'leave in a bad mood' and refuse to cooperate with Warner Pictures! Now it seems that Warner Pictures' decision is undoubtedly a huge mistake. Although the movie "Robin Hood the Prince of Thieves" is good, the global box office is only about $200 million, but "Desert Island Afterlife" can completely crush "Robin Hood" at the North American box office alone. And the total global box office may exceed 500 million US dollars!"
The movie "Desert Island Survivors" came out a few years ahead of schedule, and it was really shocking. In addition, the publicity is much stronger than that of "Desert Island Survivors" in the previous life, and there are also online viral marketing techniques, which makes American audiences full of expectations for this movie. Not only that, but under the influence of IMDB, the movie "Desert Island" has also received a very large number of screens, totaling more than 5,000 pieces, which is also much more than in previous lives!!
Considering the above conditions, it is not surprising that the box office is higher than in the previous life! However, when Henry heard the figure of 500 million US dollars, he was still a little surprised!
Warner Studios really regretted watching the box office of "Desert Island" rise at this time. However, an even bigger blow is yet to come!
On April 30, Henry, as the original author and screenwriter of "Jurassic Park", attended the "Jurassic Park" movie press conference held by Galaxy Films. The preparation for this film has been done for more than a month, and the development and construction of "Jurassic Park" has already begun on Baranov Island, the tenth largest island in the United States!
ILM and Galaxy Special Effects have also started to make various dinosaur molds and combine them with computer special effects!
So, on this day, the dinosaur movie that shook the world finally came!!
At the press conference, big names gathered. Henry Williams, the world's billionaire, Marcy Philemon, CEO of IMDB Holdings, Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Films, George Lucas, CEO of Industrial Light & Magic, and many Hollywood movie stars!
In addition to these, there are also Steve Booker, CEO of Universal Company, and Steven Spielberg, the famous director!
This time, Galaxy Pictures will collaborate with Universal in "Jurassic Park," directed by Steven Spielberg, a member of Universal!!
The movie "Jurassic Park" will not only shock the United States, but also the world, the box office miracle created is incredible, and the peripheral benefits generated are even more amazing, Henry decided to cooperate with Universal in order to be insured, let it undertake overseas distribution, and even the director has not changed, still let Spielberg direct!
Spielberg originally didn't want to direct this movie, he wanted to make "The Hindler List", but Universal didn't want to make such a very serious literary film and was worried about the box office.
But Henry understands what kind of influence this movie will bring, this movie is about the suffering of Jews, and it has the support of many Jews, and in the United States, many Jews are rich and powerful people, and investing in this movie can get their favor, and doing things in the United States will be smoother!
Not only that, the box office of "The Hindler List" is quite high, reaching 3 at the global box office. $100 million! So, Henry dug into a corner. Since you Universal are not willing to invest in filming, let Galaxy Pictures do the filming, and in this way, Spielberg will also agree to shoot "Jurassic Park!!
Universal can't ask for it, you Galaxy Pictures like to be fools, so be it, our Universal Company is not so stupid!
As a result, Universal immediately gave in and agreed to let Galaxy Film Company invest in the filming of "Schindler's List!!
Henry snickered in his heart, wait two years, who is stupid!
As the film production company of "Jurassic Park", Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Films, took the stage to make a speech: "Welcome to the media to attend the film conference of "Jurassic Park", although the film has not yet started filming, but we have made sufficient preparations! Our film special effects will be jointly created by Galaxy Special Effects and Industrial Light & Magic, the North American distribution of the film will be jointly distributed by Galaxy Pictures and IMDB Holding Group, and the overseas distribution of the film will be undertaken by Universal. In addition, we would like to tell you that in order to make this film, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars to rent and develop the entire Baranov Island in Alaska, and the film will be filmed here on location, Baranov Island is the tenth largest island in the United States, and it is magnificent and majestic, and I think after the film is made, it will definitely shock you!!"
When the reporters in the audience heard this, they were shocked, Nima, such a hanging, it cost 100 million US dollars to rent the entire island for a movie, and the development costs after that are definitely not cheap, and then they have to make a movie, and it is also a special effects blockbuster, by the way, how much does it cost to shoot a "Jurassic Park" movie in this Nima?!!!!
