Chapter 76: Planning a Dream Factory
After listening to David's words, Nicole only said two words, David was speechless, Nicole just said lightly, age. After saying this, Nicole kept silent. Hearing Nicole's words, David could say something, and David couldn't say anything. Because what you can say is completely correct, David can only look at the heavens speechlessly. In this way, David sent Nicole back to the hotel where she was staying.
After seeing Nicole's assistant team and taking Nicole back to the hotel, David got in the car and drove in the direction of his home. When he got home, he saw his parents, who were waiting for him in the living room, and when he saw that the time was close to ten o'clock, David walked a few steps quickly, came to his parents, and said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you sleep? It's so late, is there anything else?" Hearing David's words, both parents looked at him, and then his father said, "Your mother wants to talk to you, you haven't come back for so long, and your mother misses you very much."
Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Yun glared at him and said, Don't listen to your father's nonsense, it's not that I miss you, but we miss you, come and sit down and tell us, how are you doing in Los Angeles during this time? Hearing his mother's words, David did the opposite side of his parents, took the coffee from the maid's hand, and said politely, thank you. After taking a sip of coffee, he began to slowly talk about his life for more than a year, of course, some things must be buried in the bottom of his heart, and he can't say it until he dies, such as his own rebirth. Of course, in addition to this incident, David reported everything to his parents during this time, except for what happened after he got drunk at the housewarming party.
When I heard that David is now worth more than one billion, this is not counting the merger with his grandfather's investment company. The parents were a little speechless, and there was a feeling that they were living on a dog all their age. But my father still said, with these wealth, you have to manage these wealth well, you can be said to have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of your life, and your mother and I don't have to worry about your future anymore, and listen to the meaning of your words, you are a self-disciplined person, and your mother and I will not care about you in the future.
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at his wife gently, and said in a very soft tone, In the future, you and I only need to be responsible for our own every day, we have time to travel, we can find a beautiful place for vacation, as long as you like I will accompany you. David, who was sitting opposite, saw that his parents were showing affection again, and immediately said, I did a day's flight today, I was very tired, I was going back to the room to rest, and I didn't give my parents a chance to talk after speaking, and hurriedly walked to my bedroom.
David, who returned to the room, muttered in his mouth, he has been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't know how David came over in this life. After washing up, he sat on the bed in the bedroom, opened his laptop, and wrote an email to John, which roughly meant that he asked John to contact DreamWorks and see if he could buy DreamWorks?
After sending this email, David wrote a novel for a while, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. David woke up on time at six o'clock the next morning to start the day's workout, and at seven o'clock David received a call from John, and as soon as the phone was connected, John's excited voice came out, after all, John used to be an executive at Lionsgate, and he was finally going back to his old job.
I heard John's anxious voice and said, boss, do you really plan to buy DreamWorks? Some time ago, I received the news that DreamWorks was going to be sold, I thought you knew the news, but I didn't receive your notification that I wanted to buy DreamWorks, so I didn't contact them, boss, don't worry, I know Spielberg and they are very familiar, I'll talk to them on the phone first, and I'll call you when I get back and tell you what they mean.
Boss, you don't know, when I first saw this email, how excited I was, during this time, we acquired some old movie rights and some film and television adaptation rights of novels, plus boss, the film and television adaptation rights of your novels, just with these adaptation rights, it is enough for DreamWorks to develop. And I'm very confident in the movies adapted from your novels, especially the peripherals, you must know that the peripheral profits of the film industry are still very high, and they will definitely make DreamWorks Pictures make a lot of money.
Hearing John's excited and eager voice, David also smiled slightly, he could understand John's mood at this time, after all, the copyright company is not what he is good at, what he is best at is the film industry, he can return to his old job, and it is also the industry he likes, if it is David himself, he will be very happy. You are David who said, if you can make a successful acquisition, I will let you go to DreamWorks as a CEO, if you can be a CEO in DreamWorks with ease, then there is a higher platform waiting for you, you can take my words today as a promise to you, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill today's promise. After listening to David's words, John on the other end of the phone thought in his heart that the platform higher than the CEO of DreamWorks should be the CEO of the Big Seven in Hollywood.
After thinking about this, John was even more excited, and said to David excitedly, don't worry, boss, I will definitely take care of DreamWorks very well. The two chatted a few more words, and then hung up the phone, David looked at the time and saw that it was almost 7:20, hurriedly washed up, ate a few bites of breakfast in the restaurant, got into John's car, which had already been prepared, and drove to the hotel where Nicole lived.
After picking up Nicole, David took Nicole to play in New York, David received a call from John at lunch, John reported the results of contacting DreamWorks, DreamWorks did plan to sell, the three founders asked David to bear the debt of DreamWorks, the price was set at 900 million, David calculated in his heart, if you add more than 800 million dollars of debt, then the value of DreamWorks is more than 1.7 billion US dollars, and Paramount only spent 1.6 billion to acquire DreamWorks, and he has more than 100 million, is it a bit wronged?
After thinking about this, David said to John, you form a negotiation team as soon as possible, and negotiate with DreamWorks, my highest valuation of DreamWorks is 1.6 billion, if you can buy DreamWorks below 1.6 billion, how much money you save, I will give 20% to reward you.
If the three founders of DreamWorks are going to meet with me, you give me an appointment until four days later, and I can't go back in New York during this time, and I'm going to meet with Avril Lavigny when I get back, so they can only meet in four days.
Hearing the boss's words, John thought about it and felt that there was no problem with this matter, and it was impossible for a company worth 1.6 billion to be acquired in a few days? But Paramount was also in contact with DreamWorks, and it seemed that he was going to speed up his pace, and the commission given by the boss was also good, if he could talk about it, he could earn 2 million by himself for 10 million, even if it was to distribute dividends to some people in the team, then it would be safe to send hundreds of thousands of dollars.
