887 Exchange of Shares
The next morning.
Hotel living room.
Zhou Qiang sat on the sofa, Xu Ruyun was making tea by his side, Zhou Qiang's parents went to Pace Manor again, in their words, the manor is so expensive, they have to look at it several times before buying, and the two old people also decided to try to stay in Pace Manor for one night tonight.
Zhou Qiang's parents' idea was right, but the house in Pace Manor was already very dilapidated, so Zhou Qiang naturally wouldn't let them live there, and it was not convenient to live in a tent, so they rented two RVs for them and the security team to live in.
"Knock knock. There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. Xu Ruyun said.
With a "creak...... sound, Fang Wenxiu pushed the door and walked in.
"Dong Chou. Fang Wenxiu said.
"What's the matter?" asked Zhou Qiang.
Fang Xinyan called just now and said that she was not feeling well and couldn't come. Fang Wenxiu said.
"Hmm. Zhou Qiang nodded, not surprised by this, and asked, "How is the investigation of the acquisition of the shares of Axon Cinema Company?"
"I'm about to report back to you. Fang Wenxiu said.
"Sit down and say. Zhou Qiang said.
Xu Ruyun held the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Fang Wenxiu, and said, "Assistant Fang, this is locally produced black tea, you can taste it." β
"Good. Fang Wenxiu responded, took a sip of tea, and said, "It tastes good, Assistant Xu's tea-making skills are more and more agreed." β
"Haha, don't laugh at me. Xu Ruyun smiled, she didn't know if the craft of making tea had been long, but she had been getting lazier and lazier recently, and the company's affairs were basically pushed to Fang Wenxiu.
"Axon is a listed company, and the stock is divided into two situations, one part is the stock that has been issued and listed, and the other part is held by the company's major shareholders. Fang Wenxiu said.
"Sanyo Real Estate, how many shares do you hold?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"About thirty-five percent. Fang Wenxiu said.
"This ratio can already reach the controlling position for listed companies. Zhou Qiang said.
"I found that although Sanyo Real Estate acquired this cinema chain, it has not made much profit in the past two years, and the market value of the stock has not risen much. Fang Wenxiu said.
"How are you going to buy the shares of this company?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"The easiest way is to buy the shares of Octon on the stock market, but you can't buy too much at one time, otherwise it is easy to cause fluctuations in the stock price and increase the cost of acquisition. Fang Wenxiu said.
"In the stock market, you can buy slowly and try not to cause too much volatility. Zhou Qiang said.
"Secondly, I found out that the shareholder of the company holds about 4 percent of the shares, and it would be safer to buy his shares than to buy them in the stock market. Fang Wenxiu said.
"Is the other party interested in selling the shares?" Mr. Zhou said.
Fang Wenxiu shook his head and said, "I asked the other party to meet, he doesn't have much intention of selling, and he has a bit of a intention to sell at the price." β
"You make an appointment for me, and say, I want to invite him to dinner. "Zhou Qiang wants to talk to the other party in person, which is also his strength.
"Yes. Fang Wenxiu responded, then got up and went to the side to contact.
"Dong Zhou, didn't you just say that Sanyo Real Estate has 35% of the shares, which has reached the proportion of control, as long as we acquire the shares of their company, we can also achieve the purpose of holding shares, so why do we secretly buy shares?" Xu Ruyun asked.
"Sanyo Real Estate only owes the bank 5 billion, and it is impossible to sell all the shares of the Axon Company, and if we want to achieve control, we must acquire the shares of the Axon Cinema Company in advance. Zhou Qiang said.

The shareholder of the Ackerson company, named Conson Willis, is a rich third generation, and his life is relatively leisurely, and that night, he accepted Zhou Qiang's banquet.
The place to eat was chosen by Conley. At a yacht restaurant in Dr. Town, it's beautifully lit at night.
Zhou Qiang took Xu Ruyun, Fang Wenxiu, Qin Yun, and Robert with his party.
After meeting each other, Zhou Qiang's first impression of Conley was that the guy was very angry.
Conley had red hair, very white skin, was tall, and wore a white suit, small white leather shoes, and a white cane.
Conley is not very old, according to the information on the data, he is one year younger than Zhou Qiang.
At the top of the yacht, there is a long table, where Zhou Qiang, Xu Ruyun, and Fang Wenxiu sit together, and Conley and his female companion sit together.
Conley's female companion is a black girl with thick lips and a plump body, and she looks like she is pure black, not mixed-race.
Under Fang Wenxiu's introduction, Zhou Qiang and Conley got to know each other, and Zhou Qiang asked her female companion again, only to find out that it was his fiancΓ©e.
Zhou Qiang couldn't help but sigh that Conley's taste is really heavy, and the mixed-race black girl and the beautiful, purebred black girl really don't fit the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
Fang Wenxiu is fluent in English and can work as a translator.
"Three, do you like Dr. Don?" asked Conley.
"Of course, I'm already thinking about buying a manor nearby. Zhou Qiang said.
"Zhou, it seems that you want to invest in the United States for a long time?" Conley asked.
"Yes, I'm still very optimistic about the economy of the United States. Zhou Qiang said.
"Isn't your domestic economy growing fast?" Conley asked.
"Business knows no borders, and if you walk around the outside, you can also meet more friends, right?" Zhou Qiang said.
"You're right. Conley nodded, and then asked Xu Ruyun and Fang Wenxiu, "Two beautiful ladies, do you like this restaurant?"
"Yes, the sea view is beautiful. Xu Ruyun said.
"The yacht is not bad, I'm thinking about it, if I have a chance in the future, will I fool Dong Chou to buy one. Fang Wenxiu shrugged his shoulders.
"Yay, I agree with you. Conley laughed.
"In fact, this yacht is Conley's. Erin, a black female companion, said.
"Oh, this yacht restaurant is yours?" Fang Wenxiu said.
Conley spread his hands and said, "You know, once in a while we close down and drive it out to sea. β
"It must have been a pleasant trip. Fang Wenxiu said.
"Of course. Erin grinned, grinned, and reached out to take Conley's hand.
After a few idle words, everyone began to serve, this is a Western restaurant, Zhou Qiang ordered a wagyu beef, paella, mussels, and a barbecue platter, Xu Ruyun is much lighter.
Zhou Qiang cut a piece of beef, tasted it, and said, "It tastes great." β
"Glad you like it. Conley said.
"Conley, you should know what I'm here for. Zhou Qiang said.
"Of course, Assistant Fang told me that you want to buy my shares in Ackerson. Conley said.
"Yes. Zhou Qiang nodded.
"To be honest, I'm not short of money, at least, for the time being, so, if it weren't for the price being OK, I probably wouldn't have considered selling. Conley said.
"Conley has had a dream of cinema since he was a kid, and he doesn't want to leave the industry, and he feels happy to see his favorite movies come out in his own theater. Erin smiled, turned to look at Conley, and said, "He is like a kid sometimes, you know. β
"People who have dreams are lucky. Zhou Qiang said.
"Thank you. Conley nodded, grabbed Erin's black hand, and kissed it.
"Come, let's have a toast, for the dream. Zhou Qiang raised his glass.
"For the dream. The others followed suit.
Taking a sip of red wine, Zhou Qiang couldn't help laughing, talking to foreigners, he felt that the way he spoke had changed a little.
"Chairman Zhou, I would like to ask why you want to acquire the shares of Ackerson. Conley asked.
"Just like you. Zhou Qiang said.
"You also love movies. Conley said.
"Of course. Zhou Qiang nodded, and said in a tone full of passion: "I not only like movies, but I also hope that the movies I like can go abroad to let more people see them, people like you." β
"Oh Maiga, your dreams are more meaningful than mine. Conley said.
"In our country, there are also many excellent movies, I hope these movies, the people of the United States can also see these films, the people of the United States have the right to choose, those who monopolize the film industry, should not and cannot go, take away the rights of the people of the United States. β
"Papapa......" Conley couldn't help but applaud and said, "Zhou, what you said is so good." β
The two toast each other and celebrate each other's dreams.
Subsequently, Zhou Qiang said with a straight face: "Conley, in fact, as long as you want, you can be the same as me." β
"What do you mean?" said Conley.
"Don't you want to promote some of the best movies of the United States to China? There are more than a billion people there, and they also have the right to choose to watch the movies of the United States. Zhou Qiang said.
"Of course, however, I don't know what to do. Conley said.
"I am also preparing to set up a cinema company in China, which is expected to have a total investment of 1.5 billion meters and a market share of 20% in domestic cinemas.
"How's it going?" Conley asked.
"We can exchange shares. Zhou Qiang said.
Conley wondered, "Swap?"
