"Mr. Robinov, I said that I would like to be able to work with you forever. Together, we can do something in the global film market. Peng Yichen smiled slightly.

"Therefore, I will not easily give up on the cooperation between us. ”

"What do you mean? Break with Bickers and abandon the plan to buy DC?" Robinov asked.

"No, I'm not giving up on my plans. I have other ideas. Please wait a minute, I'm going to give Mr. David a call. Peng Yichen smiled and said to Robinov.

Then, he took out a business card that David Ellison gave him yesterday before leaving, and called the mobile phone number on it.

"Hello, Mr. David. I'm Peng Yichen. Peng Yichen greeted the microphone of his mobile phone.

"Oh, hello. Sorry, something happened to my house last night. I'm in Silicon Valley now, so I haven't contacted you. David's voice was a little tired.

"I'm really sorry to hear about your father, he's a great business leader. I hope you don't get too upset. Peng Yichen politely comforted the other party.

"Thanks, I'm still holding up. However, I am very sorry. It was originally according to our agreement. I'm going to reach out to the CEOs of Google, Facebook, and Twitter in the near future to meet with you and ask them to develop a dedicated PR plan for you to get the Oscars for the movie.

But my father had an accident and I really couldn't help it...... I can't afford to give you any more support from the online media......" David hesitated for a moment, but finally said with a great apology.

"I can understand your situation. Peng Yichen did not get angry, but continued to comfort the other party.

David felt a lot more comfortable when he heard Peng Yichen's reaction, he thought for a while and continued, "That's it, Mr. Peng." I can introduce you to a few people who can help you. They all have this very important position in the major online media of the Star Flag Country......"

Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Originally, I also found friends from 21 traditional media companies, and I was going to arrange for them to meet with you in the next few days.

But after my father's accident last night, these friends from the traditional media were reluctant to work with us......

Bix contacted me once this morning. He told me that he was willing to give you a new chance to choose who you would work with.

If you continue to cooperate with Robinov, then he will see you as an enemy. Not only will it block the movies you are currently releasing and the movies that are running for the Oscars. It will also terminate the co-production plan for the next sci-fi movie......"

David's point was clear, he thought that in the current situation, both he and Robert Nivo needed to deal with their own family affairs.

There is no way to help Robinov and Peng Yichen and fight against Bix.

Then the internal game of Hua Na will inevitably end in Bix's victory.

If Peng Yichen still wants to gain a foothold in the North American film market, he can only consider cooperating with Bix.

Otherwise, not only "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" may be in the footsteps of Hua Na, but "Beautiful Life" will inevitably be in trouble in the competition for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film......

At the same time, Bix also passed a message to Peng Yichen through David's mouth.

That is, although he knows that Peng Yichen has been working with Robinov, he is still willing to shoot Peng Yichen's next science fiction movie.

But the premise is that Peng Yichen must break with Robinov and obey Bix's arrangement instead.

Both sides took a step back, and it was not a bad ending for Peng Yichen.

Robinov, who was sitting across the desk, heard Peng Yichen's voice on the phone and couldn't help but feel even more desperate.

All the months he had been trying to co-opt David Ellison, Ivey Nyvo, and Bickers against each other had all been in vain.

In the end, even Peng Yichen, who has a huge Chinese film market behind him, is about to lose.

After Peng Yichen hung up David's phone, Robinov struggled to maintain the last bit of dignity and said in a low voice: "Director Peng, if you choose not to cooperate with me now, I can completely understand." ”

Peng Yichen ignored Robinov's extremely decadent body, his heart was beating violently at this time, and he had a premonition that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was placed in front of him.

"Lao Sun, you calculate how much money our company can raise at present. Count the maximum amount of loans. Peng Yichen looked at Sun Yizou urgently and asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll give the controller a call. Sun Yizou didn't ask Peng Yichen if he was willing, he turned around and walked out of the office directly and made a call to the financial director.

In less than 5 minutes, he returned to the office and said to Peng Yichen: "Mr. Peng, the company currently has 1.89 billion cash left in its account. It is mainly the box office and copyright marketing income of "Journey to the West", the box office and copyright marketing income of "Dark War", and the box office income of the second release of "Beautiful Life".

Coupled with the box office share that "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" may receive based on the preliminary calculation, the company should be able to take out at least 2 billion in cash in the near future.

Among them, 300 million is for the construction of science fiction film and television bases.

At present, the project has completed the site selection and overall planning, and you are waiting for you to make a decision.

If you count the company's several film copyrights and other assets, the company's total assets are currently nearly 4.5 billion Huaxia coins. Therefore, we can also borrow at least 4 billion from the bank.

Combined with the cash that the company can currently use, we can take out nearly 6 billion Huaxia dollars. ”

"6 billion Chinese dollars, that's about 1.5 billion dollars. Peng Yichen thought for a while and asked Robinoff: "Robin, this money is very enough to buy the Hua Na shares in the hands of David and Ivey. ”

Robinov already roughly understood Peng Yichen's thoughts, and he thought about it and replied: "According to today's Times Hua Na Group, the market value is about 21 billion US dollars.

The two of them together hold a total of 15% of the shares of Time Warper. Based on the market capitalization, it is worth about $3.15 billion.

But now they may have to pay a lot of inheritance fees and legal proceedings in order to inherit their father's estate.

So, there must be a great need for a large amount of cash to be put into the books.

Therefore, the final price for buying their shares should not be higher than $2.8 billion. ”

"Robin, how many shares are freely circulating in the stock market today?" Peng Yichen continued.

"About 22 percent of the shares are circulating on the stock market. If the price of the acquisition operation is good, it can cost about $2 billion, or 11% of it.

That's about half of the shares in circulation.

Then no one wants to sell, because then the stock price of Hua Na will definitely skyrocket. Robinov replied immediately.

"Okay, before I came to Xingqi Country, I had contact with Gu Jiahui, the boss of Huaxia Huimin Film and Television Group, and Wang Jianling, the boss of Shengda Real Estate Company.

They promised me if I wanted to buy shares in DC Comics or Hua Na. They are willing to invest up to $3.5 billion to complete the acquisition with me.

That would give me the equivalent of $5 billion in acquisition capital. It can also acquire at least 25% of the shares of Time Warna. Peng Yichen looked at Robinov with a smile.

"And my supporters and I also control about 30% of the shares of Time War. Bix and the Wall Street forces behind it control 35% of Time Warna's stock.

The remaining 10% of the shares are in the hands of minority shareholders of the neutral faction.

In this way, the total number of shares in my hands and you can reach 55%. The two of us can hold a shareholder meeting and kick Bix out of Time Hua Na by ourselves. ”

Robinov jumped up from his office chair excitedly.

He was like an immature hairy boy, constantly pacing left and right, and continued to analyze: "The reason why I have been suppressed by Bix is because he has more shares than mine, plus those neutral shareholders in the past, they have always been on his side. Now as long as we outnumber him in stock, we can turn defeat into victory. ”

"You're right, Mr. Robinov. But to do that, we had to be careful to buy the shares of David Ellison and Ivy Nivo ahead of schedule. Peng Yichen smiled.

"In addition, my two films, "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" and "Life is Beautiful", must also have a bumper harvest at the box office and awards.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to convince the two CEOs of Huaxia, Gu Jiahui and Wang Jianling, to make them pay $4 billion to help me complete the acquisition. ”

In fact, Gu Jiahui and Wang Jianling do not have such requirements, they are also salivating over Hua Na's stock, and they don't need Peng Yichen's movies to achieve any results at all.

But Peng Yichen needs to use the topic to play and let Robinov help him continue to do a good job in the promotion and public relations of the film.

Robinov nodded understandingly, "Indeed, $4 billion is an astronomical amount of money for any company. If you don't show some results, you really can't reassure investors. ”

But now the question is, how can Robinoff eat with friends, and let "Life is Beautiful" win the Oscar without the support of mainstream media and online media?

In fact, Peng Yichen already had a plan in his heart for this, but he needed Robinov's cooperation to implement his plan.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to deceive Robinov a little.

……

After Peng Yichen and Robinov reached a preliminary consensus, the three people in the office immediately began to divide their labor.

Peng Yichen is responsible for communicating with Gu Jiahui and Wang Jianling about the funds for the acquisition of Hua Na shares.

Robinoff was responsible for helping Peng connect with professional Hollywood film critics and media outlets he was familiar with, as well as celebrities and big names among traditional Hollywood filmmakers, to build momentum for Peng's film promotion and public relations plans.

Sun Yizou was responsible for returning to Huaxia to raise all the working capital of Chenjing Film and Television Company, and applying for a loan to the bank and going through the necessary procedures for the loan.

The executives of several Internet companies introduced by David to Peng Yichen were not wasted, and the public relations team led by Denzel kept in touch. Don't miss any opportunity to promote the PR "Beautiful Life".

Although Robinov tried his best to help Peng Yichen, he did not have much expectations for "Life is Beautiful" to win the award......

In his opinion, he can only hope that the box office results of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" can now impress the desire of those wealthy people in China to invest in Huana.
