Chapter 0500: Leslie signs a contract, and CAA starts

Ovitz, who had high hopes for Li Wenxing, finally failed to win Claire's performance contract on the spot.

The hesitation of Claire's mother, Mrs. Simmons, was that it was to be considered, and the two sides did not even negotiate the content of the contract.

The due meaning is also that Li Wenxing's requirements are too high, and it is impossible to sign a contract on the spot.

Even with the high commission of one million dollars in her heart, Mrs. Simmons is still worried about her daughter's future after signing the contract.

If you want to get a contract with a million salaries, you must sign an additional agreement, and once you sign that agreement, your daughter's life in the next five years will be limited to death.

The most direct embodiment is that after signing the contract, the daughter must drop out of school immediately and undergo more professional acting training.

This alone made her suspicious.

And even if she doesn't care about this, she can't act too explicitly,

If the daughter grows up and understands that her mother sold her for one million, how can she have the face to face her daughter?

Well, it can only be said that Mrs. Simmons is a good mother, and she did not choose to sign the contract for her daughter because of her impulsiveness or selfishness for money.

She hopes that her daughter can make the right choice with a calm and calm mind.

Of course, these are all specially conveyed to Li Wenxing by Ovitz,

Because Mrs. Simmons has spoken to him privately, she hopes that no one else will be signed here for the time being.

Li Wenxing couldn't help but wonder, she is really a smart woman.

If there are no accidents, Claire's signing should be stable.

Mrs. Simmons' refusal to stop her was actually agreeing, and Claire would be able to react sooner or later.

After all, a million is not a decimal number, Simmons lives alone with Claire, and his life is very poor, and he also needs a sum of money.

It just so happens that Claire herself is very keen on being a star, and even secretly sent her application photos at the beginning.

When it came to the actual interview, I didn't dare to come alone, so I had to reveal it to my mother.

Correspondingly, Claire's side is not far from success, Camilla's family is back with the contract to negotiate, and Leslie's side is the smoothest.

According to Tang Shuxuan's relay, the reason why Leslie needed that money was because she had to scrape together 3.35 million yuan within a month to pay the inheritance tax.

In other words, in fact, Leslie is still the widow of a wealthy man, and her family also has a mine.

But the national conditions of the United States are like this, if you want to inherit your parents' inheritance, you must first pay the inheritance tax.

If the inheritance tax is not paid by the deadline, then the right to inherit the estate can only be renounced.

If you think about it, you can see that the shortfall of $1.4 million can't afford to sell Leslie.

Although, if you have a certain connection, you can actually borrow a sum of money from the bank first, pay taxes, inherit the inheritance, and then repay the loan.

But the point is, if there is no collateral, how can the bank lend to her?

In this case, you can only find a private loan, but that means endless trouble.

Private lending companies, most of them have gangster backgrounds, how dare Leslie be provoked by a little girl?

It doesn't matter that she has no background, what's the use of her little fighting kung fu? People control her every minute, and if she makes money, she has to seek sex, and if she is unlucky, she will not be able to live.

can only say that Shi is also fateful, so that she was lucky to meet Li Wenxing and Tang Shuxuan,

Tang Shuxuan took her directly down to the fifth floor and signed three contracts with the Innovation Star Artist Agency.

One is an employment contract for starring in "Erica", and the other is an employment contract for the second female lead in "Tomb Raider",

After signing these two contracts, Tang Shuxuan directly handed over the check to her, which was equivalent to an advance payment.

There is also an actor agency contract, and from then on, Leslie is an artist signed by Innovation Star.

It is worth mentioning that the innovation star is the famous superstar in later generations, including and signing half of Hollywood, as well as countless countries and regions in the world, one of the three major star agencies in the United States, and William Morris (MA) and the CAA of the International Innovation Agency (ICM).

As early as August last year, when Lin Xueli came to the United States to report on his work, Li Wenxing entrusted him to buy the company back.

$400,000, 40 percent of the shares.

According to the market price of CAA at that time, Li Wenxing was at least ten times the premium of the acquisition, which can be said to be a 100% angel investment.

However, like this kind of star brokerage work, the most important thing is excellent broker resources and star resources.

Although Li Wenxing suffered a loss in the acquisition price, he also tied Ovitz and other five founders to the company in the content of the acquisition agreement.

The five Ovitz each hold 12 percent of the shares, and the acquisition agreement stipulates that if they leave their jobs within five years, the shares that belong to them will be taken back by Li Wenxing.

and shall not continue to engage in star agent work in any form for three years from the date of resignation.

Such an acquisition agreement can't say who loses and who is cheap.

Although the Ovitz Five were recognized as talented in later generations, they were all young people who had just debuted before the year, and their own understanding of themselves was insufficient.

In their minds, maybe in five years, they won't be able to make so much money, after all, CAA has just been established, and they are still in the stage of exploring, accumulating experience, and learning.

If the company can't do it, forget it, five years later, they can still share tens of thousands of yuan each.

If they are lucky enough to make the company bigger and make money, the five of them have 60 percent of the CAA's shares in their hands, and they can easily squeeze Li Wenxing out.

For Li Wenxing, the existence of CAA is only to serve his film company, and he himself has no thoughts about CAA.

As long as he has money, he is afraid that he will not be able to invite a big-name star to make a film for him? Why bother to run a brokerage company, it is completely unnecessary.

And if Oviz plays bad in the future, he also has a way to check and balance,

Because after he voluntarily gave up the company's right to operate, he additionally enjoyed the preemptive right to subscribe for the company's share expansion.

If the company wants to expand its shares to raise funds, he has the right of first refusal, which ensures that his shares will not be diluted, and he can even continue to increase his shares.

Moreover, he only needs to rebel against one of the five Oviz at will, and his shareholding ratio will become 52%, and he can fully control the affairs of the CAA except for the operation rights.

Even, he has a super hole card,

Not only did he acquire CAA, but he also acquired ICM at the same time, and if the five of Oviz dared to fight back, he would go directly to ICM, fight back against CAA with all his might, and pull him off the altar.

Well, these things were all done by Lin Xueli, including the formulation of the acquisition agreement, and the pattern of checks and balances between the two parties, all of which were set by Lin Xueli.
