Chapter 903 VAM Agreement
Wang Xiaofei saw that Zhang Ran didn't even give her a chance to speak, so she directly refused, and begged bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, if there is really no way, we will never dare to trouble you!"
01 The students of the table looked at each other, not knowing what dumb riddle Zhang Ran was playing, and their curious eyes swept over the faces of the two.
Zhang Ran knew that South Beauty and CDH Investments had signed a VAM agreement in 08 to exchange 10% of South Beauty for the equivalent of 200 million US dollars, and they required South Beauty to be listed before the end of 12 years, otherwise it would have to buy back the shares and repay 15% of the annual interest. However, South Beauty is now in trouble with its listing, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission is particularly strict with the catering listing card, because the catering procurement end and the sales end are cash transactions, and the income and costs cannot be reliably measured, and the authenticity of the accounting statements cannot be guaranteed. In February this year, South Beauty submitted a listing application to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, but it has not been approved so far.
When Wang Xiaofei and Da S got married a few months ago, Wang Sinion once bombarded Zhang Lan. Many people think that Wang Sylon scolded Wang Xiaofei on Weibo because she couldn't get used to it, but it was not, but because Zhang Lan said in an interview with the media that she was very familiar with the chairman of Wanda, so the hotel was sponsored by Wanda, and the whole wedding didn't cost much.
The reason why Zhang Lan said this is because South Beauty is preparing for the listing, and what she said is actually telling investors from all walks of life that she has a very good relationship with Wanda, and it is a matter of minutes to open a branch in Wanda Plaza.
Zhang Ran actually admired Zhang Lan a lot, she saved $20,000 from a black job in Canada, returned to China to start a business and opened a store, and slowly laid a foundation. If South Beauty can develop steadily, it may be able to develop well, but she is hot-headed and signed a gambling agreement with someone, but now she is facing the risk of being swept away, he has some sympathy for Zhang Lan, but it is only sympathy.
Zhang Ran looked at Wang Xiaofei and said lightly: "Let me give you a suggestion, hurry up and withdraw the listing application, the stock is very strict with the catering card, it is impossible for South Beauty to pass, the threshold for Hong Kong stocks is relatively low, the probability of South Beauty applying for listing in Xiangjiang is relatively large, and going to Hong Kong stocks is your only opportunity." It doesn't matter if the listing price is lower, the important thing is to keep the equity. β
In the last life, South Beauty turned to Hong Kong stocks after being rejected by the Securities Regulatory Commission, but when South Beauty was rushing for the listing of Hong Kong stocks, under the influence of heavy-handed anti-corruption and the "Eight Regulations of the Central Government", luxury goods, high-end hotels, and high-end consumption encountered an inflection point, and the catering industry entered a cold winter. Potential investors gave a very low valuation to South Beauty, far lower than Zhang Lan's expectations, so South Beauty gave up the listing and discussed with CDH to wait for the market to improve before going public. At the end of 13, CDH, who was unwilling to wait any longer, activated the terms of the right to sell and sold South Beauty to CVC, and finally Zhang Lan got about 1.2 billion yuan and was out of South Beauty at the same time.
If South Beauty can quickly withdraw its listing application, go to the Hong Kong stock market, and go public before the eight regulations come out, Zhang Lan should be able to keep South Beauty. That's all Zhang Ran can say, as for what Zhang Lan will do and what the final result will be, he really doesn't have the mood to care.
After coming out of South Beauty, Jia Niliang asked, "Teacher Zhang, is something wrong with Wang Xiaofei and their family?"
Zhang Ran didn't hide it, and asked, "Do you know about the VAM agreement?"
Jia Niliang asked: "You know, Huayi was played to death by the gambling agreement." Did South Beauty sign a VAM agreement with someone?"
"Yes, if South Beauty can't be listed before the end of next year, then it will fall into the hands of others. They wanted me to help, but I couldn't. Speaking of this, Zhang Ran glanced at the students present and asked, "The VAM agreement has become popular in the circle recently, you haven't signed a VAM agreement with others, right?"
As early as 2002, Yu Dong won the distribution rights of "Legend of Tianmai" in the form of guaranteed account sharing. Guaranteed release is actually a bet on the box office. Gambling agreements like South Beauty have also begun to appear, and this kind of gambling agreement is mainly signed with celebrities, Zhang Ran does not want his students to fall into the pit of gambling.
The students present shook their heads: "Who will bet with us?"
Zhang Ran thought to himself, the gambling agreement will soon become popular, and once it becomes popular, I don't know how many people will rush to sign the gambling agreement with you! He looked at Huang Shengyi, then at several other students, and asked, "Shengyi, you have jointly opened Haohai Film and Television." Let me ask you, if a film and television company proposes to acquire 70% of the equity of Haohai Film and Television for 700 million yuan. Do you sell it or not?"
Huang Shengyi and the others were taken aback when they heard this, their company has only been in business for a year, and the company's shareholders are only 5 people, if 700 million yuan sells 70% of the equity, that person can share more than 100 million, this is simply a fantasy, and they all said: "How is it possible? Who will take so much money to buy 70% of our shares?"
"yes, only fools do that, right?"
"Teacher Zhang, don't make fun of us!"
Zhang Ran said very seriously: "Don't say it's impossible, I just ask you if you sell it?"
Huang Shengyi and the others said in unison: "Sell, definitely sell, only fools don't sell!"
Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "Now suppose I am the acquirer, as long as you sell 70% of the shares to me, you can get 700 million immediately, and I only have one request, Haohai Film and Television's net profit in 2012 should reach 90 million yuan, and the next four years will rise by 15% per year, if you can't complete the bet, then you must repurchase the shares sold to me before, and give me interest, the annual interest is 15%. Now you think about it, do you sell it or not, give me an answer?"
Huang Shengyi and the others got together and began to discuss whether to sell it or not, and the other students also whispered.
Huang Shengyi and they feel that it is difficult to 90 million in the first year, but as long as they work hard, they can still complete it, and it is a bit difficult to increase the profit by 15% every year, especially when the profit reaches 157.4 million in the fifth year, which is quite difficult. However, considering that the domestic film and television industry is developing so fast, after 4 years, as long as you fight hard, you should still be able to do it. They feel that they can let the other party buy, so that they can quickly get 700 million yuan, which can be used to develop their own business, and can also be used to invest to make more money.
After a short discussion, Huang Shengyi told Zhang Ran: "Teacher Zhang, we think we can agree." β
Zhang Ran spread his hands and said: "I have no risk in this gambling agreement, if it can't be completed, you must lose, I won't lose, if it is completed, you can earn at least 70 million for me, I am also very satisfied." However, once you sign the gambling agreement, you can't be as uneasy as now, in order to make money, you can only desperately take on the show, desperately accept the advertisement, and become a puppet to make money for me. In this way, you will not have time to do desk work, you will not have time to experience life, your acting skills will get worse and worse, and you will become the king of bad movies in the hearts of the audience, and your reputation in the hearts of the audience will become worse and worse. β
Huang Shengyi and the others were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect this consequence at all, and then they realized that they were too naΓ―ve, and the other students were also silent, thinking that the gambling agreement was really not a good thing!
Zhang Ran looked at the student in front of him and said seriously: "If you want to be a good actor, then don't become a slave of capital; You all have to think about it. Just because no one is looking for you to sign a VAM agreement now doesn't mean that there won't be one in the future. I believe that within two or three years, there will definitely be companies looking for you, and you must think clearly about where to go when the time comes!"
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Ran and the students of the 01 table gathered at the gate of Nortel, they stood in front of the gate, looking at the six gilt characters of "Peking Film Academy" in front of them, their hearts fluctuated, and many people remembered the scene when they stood in front of the school for the first time ten years ago.
After entering the school, everyone first came to the pyramid to take a group photo, in the four years of Nortel they don't know how many photos they took in front of the pyramid, but at the moment their hearts are extremely excited, their faces are full of youthful and bright smiles.
Subsequently, everyone moved to the Four Seasons Hall, gathered and sat together, and warmly discussed the days of reading and training and various interesting things in the year, and there was laughter and laughter during the banquet.
During the chat, Zhang Xinyi suddenly looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Teacher Zhang, you and Sister Jingchu have been getting the certificate for a year, when will you hold a wedding?"
The other students also remembered this incident and asked, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, when are you going to have a wedding?"
"Don't just do the wedding quietly, you must inform us!"
"yes, we'd be very sad if we weren't allowed to attend the wedding. β
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Even if you forget anyone, you monkeys won't forget! The wedding was held at the end of October, and Jing Chu has been busy with this matter in recent months!"
When Zhang Xinyi heard that the wedding was going to be held in October, she jumped up and said excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, I want to be a bridesmaid!" When other girls heard this, they also shouted: "I want to be a bridesmaid too!" "And me!"
Jia Niliang shouted with the girls: "I want to be a bridesmaid!" After shouting, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly corrected: "No, I want to be the best man!"
The boys also shouted with Jia Niliang: "It's definitely not enough to have bridesmaids, you have to have a groomsman!" "Let's be the best man!"
In fact, Zhang Jing originally planned to choose four or five of Zhang Ran's students to be the best man and bridesmaid, but when discussing with Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran felt more difficult, he had 40 students, and if he chose four or five, those who were not selected would definitely be disappointed, so he finally gave up this idea and only chose Zhang Jingxin and Bai Yunfei.
Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "In addition to you, there are also 05 students among my students, and there are 40 people in total, and it is not good to choose who you don't choose, so in the end, I didn't choose any of them, so it's fairer!"
Wang Luodan immediately retorted: "What's the matter, last time a dance teacher in the UK got married, she also had a difficulty in choosing which student to be the bridesmaid, and finally simply let more than 70 students come to the wedding together, girls as bridesmaids, boys as best men, that scene is lively!"
Zhang Ran was very surprised to hear that there were more than 70 groomsmen and bridesmaids: "You made it up!"
Wang Luodan said loudly: "It's true, you can check it on the Internet!"
The students who got off work were all excited: "There are more than 70 bridesmaids when the teacher gets married, and we only have 40, what's not to do?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, if you don't let us be bridesmaids, we will be very disappointed!"
"We're going to be really sad and disappointed!"
Zhang Ran was noisy by the sound of the students' chirping and his eardrums hurt, he thought that the best man and bridesmaids could only choose a few, but he didn't expect that there was no limit, since other teachers could let more than 70 students be bridesmaids, he could also call the students on, there were many people, and he could also help, and he could save a lot of trouble, so he said: "That's okay, but I have to talk to Jingchu about this!"
"Yay!" cheered all the boys and girls present.
