The last time Downey questioned Martin, he was scolded back, the situation was not as bad as it is now, now it is two blockbuster huge losses, the shareholders can't sit still, they demand an explanation from Martin, and at the same time demand that Martin take decisive measures, at least to retract the remarks that he will not sell to a foreign consortium.

This time, several important shareholders sent representatives to the scene, and with so many shareholders present, Downey believed that Martin would be restrained, but who knew that Martin was still so arrogant and resolutely refused to retract such remarks.

Downey had no choice but to make peace with it: "Retracting this remark does not mean that you have to sell to a foreign consortium, and more buyers will join, which will help stimulate the market price of this company, what do you see the people of the big four investment banks doing? They have joined forces to treat this company as a meat belly, and they have joined forces to lower his price." ”

Martin said, "I can't do it, Donnie, just like you can't eat the you pulled out!"

Donnie's face sank and said, "You are harming the interests of the shareholders, if you insist on doing this, we have to vote and remove you!"

Martin said, "Are you sure?"

Donnie didn't dare to respond to the other party's aggressive gaze, lowered his head and said, "This is a choice that you can't force yourself." ”

Martin's face was gloomy, and he said, "Tell me, for example, where did I hurt the shareholders? In the first two quarters of this year, your return was 300 percent, please tell me, whose interests I hurt there? Tell me, who lost even a penny?" Martin said at the end, and it was a slap on the table.

Donnie was speechless.

Martin's eyes were cold, and he said: "If that one is unhappy, you can withdraw at any time, and after the formalities are completed in an hour, you can take your money and leave." ”

Anyone who was targeted by Martin, all lowered their heads, for fear that Martin would take the opportunity to purge them, Martin shorted Soni for a fight, fierce, beautiful, and more importantly, the return was amazing, the typical three years without the market, the market for three years, but who would have too much money? Columbia and MGM Pictures are a big fat meat, who doesn't want to get a hand, but Martin is extremely strong, and no one is allowed to touch his meat.

He must be playing a trick that others don't know, but this damn extremely high-profile standing on the moral high ground: "Don't sell to foreigners, this is the bottom line, if that one has any objections to the comparison, stand up and say it!"

One of the shareholder representatives was still stubborn, and said proudly: "Columbia and MGM Pictures were bought with the money of the foundation, that is, our money, and what you are doing now, we have enough reason to suspect that you have colluded with the four major investment banks to jointly cheat the shareholders' money, and you must take decisive measures." ”

Martin said: "Before joining my foundation, the first rule is to trust me, sincerely trust me, I will make money for you, why do this, because trust is very difficult, especially on Wall Street, you can do this, you can get great returns, yes, I am a tyrant, but I am right, my investment vision will bring you good returns." ”

The shareholder representative said: "Power cannot be done without supervision, no matter who it is. ”

Martin said: "You're the representative of the Douglas Foundation in Europe, right? Congratulations, the Douglas Foundation is out, and you can take your money back to Europe today." ”

The delegate turned pale and said, "You can't do that. The guy played his cards like a madman, and he turned to the other fetuses for help, saying, "Davis can do this to me, and he can do this to you, don't you do anything to show our unity?"

As a result, all shareholders raised their hands in support of the representative, and Downey shrugged his shoulders and said, "Martin, you have to respect everyone's opinion. ”

Martin said: "That's the trouble, so many people have withdrawn, you have to give me three days, so that I can have enough time to go through your withdrawal procedures and raise enough cash to return your money." ”

The implication is that the fish is dead and the net is broken, and he is unwilling to compromise when he dies.

All shareholders were discolored.

Donnie's face turned pale and he said, "This way your Foundation is no different from disbanding." ”

"I am confident that I will be able to keep the foundation running, and I believe that I will open the investment threshold, and many funds will be willing to join," Martin said. ”

Donnie couldn't laugh anymore and said, "You don't have to do this, everyone is for the good of the Foundation." ”

Martin said: "No, you must understand that we are only a cooperative relationship, I am not your worker, you have violated the first and most important article of this foundation, the basis of our cooperation will no longer exist, you are out." ”

The whole conference room was silent, and they knew that Davis was strong, but they didn't expect him to be crazy strong?

Donnie's face turned pale, and he said, "Do you know the consequences of your doing this? ”

Martin said: "Soni is my enemy, he is finished, I am looking for someone to sacrifice the sword, who is interested in joining this list." ”

Downey said, "You're so arrogant, don't you care what Mr. Morgan thinks of you?"

Martin said: "Mr. Morgan wants a champion horse, not a watchdog, why do I repeatedly emphasize trust, because trust is difficult, you trust me, you will get a gift, doubt me, you will be punished, the basis of cooperation between us, no longer exists, except for the gang, there is no other choice, your money will not be less, and it is a few percentage points higher than the interest of the bank, which is clearly stipulated in the contract." He said as he took out his phone and texted.

Donnie saw the guy who saw the wind and steered, and first said, "Martin, don't do this?" The others also relented, even the toughest Douglas Fund just now.

Under Martin's strength, they chose to be soft, Martin is good to accept, said: "The characteristics of the Davis Fund is difficult to get in and easy to get out, you must trust me, give me the money, let me earn more money for you, how to earn, is my business, I only believe in my vision and judgment, if you like to point fingers, you can open your own business, I am a partner, not a worker, in this difficult situation, whose foundation has such a high return?" Only mine, and what I got, doubts and accusations, if anyone thinks they are doing better than me, I can make Xian. ”

The others didn't dare to keep silent, and once Martin was in power, they all backed down, and it was just a joke to vote to remove Martin from office.

Martin said: "For Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures, I'm annoyed, interlaced like a mountain, big investment, slow return, we buy it with about 9 billion, it will definitely be profitable, just look at how much you earn, if anyone has the ability to sell more than 18 billion dollars, take the money, congratulations, it's yours." ”

The shareholders are secretly scolding, when these two film companies are in the hands of Soni, they are worth at least 17 billion, and it is because of your guy that they will depreciate again and again, and two blockbusters with huge losses in a row have repeatedly depreciated, among the four major investment banks, Bellsmann, who has the highest offer, is only 9.3 billion, and they basically have nothing to earn, and the four major investment banks secretly join forces to squeeze out and crack down on other competitors, so that others dare not quote, and eat their piece of fat.

Downey said, "What are you going to do?"

Martin said: "Solve it in three days! You will get the money in three days, I don't want to play anymore, as long as it's not in vain, I'll get rid of it, I invite all the buyers, everyone takes the way of secret investment, the highest price wins, we only accept cash, not stocks, bonds." ”

Martin sneered in his heart, there must be people here who collude with the four major investment banks, taking the opportunity to let the wind go out and let these greedy guys plant a big somersault, if they don't have a back hand, I'm afraid that these guys will play to death.

Martin said: "It's okay to adjourn!"

Almost as soon as Martin announced the dissolution of the meeting, Mark received a text message from Martin: "Tomorrow it will be sold, and it will be secretly invested." ”

Mark said to David Wang, Sophia, Iger, Megan, and David, who were in the meeting, "It's time for us to make a move!"

Martin's so-called closed-door secret meeting was really a sieve, and in just half an hour, the news that Davis was going to sell Columbia and MGM Pictures spread all over Hollywood and Wall Street, and everyone who had a heart moved.

As soon as I went to work the next day, Davis's office officially announced the news, officially accepting the registration, to pay a deposit of 100 million US dollars, the registration fee of 2 million, and the deadline is to get off work today and close the door tomorrow.

A total of 21 buyers signed up that day, and the four major investment banks were listed, such as News Corp., Time Warner, Viacom, Disney, etc.

Like the Canadian banker, the famous Lionsgate Frank Gusta, who single-handedly founded Lionsgate in '97, he wanted to invest in the thriving film industry. In the early days, the company purchased many small production equipment and distributors.

Its first commercially successful film was "American Psycho," which began its controversial journey in the mainstream film industry in the United States.Other notable films include "The Man Hurts the Most," "Gods and Demons," "Rage Against the Heavens," and Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911," which undoubtedly took Lionsgate to another level, and this summer's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was a huge success.

This banker is rich and powerful, he is bent on becoming bigger, he once controlled 20% of MGM's shares, but was thwarted by the tycoon Cork, this time Soni changed dramatically, Columbia and MGM Pictures fell into the hands of Davis, he was the first to offer, and the offer was the highest, but because he was Canadian, he was directly rejected by Davis, but he was not discouraged, he hooked up with a small company and pushed them out as a sign.

There are several people like Gutaaf, they use this method to avoid Martin's restrictions, the four major investment banks are powerful, but they have not reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, and they want to get a piece of the pie this time, and there are a lot of people. ”

Thank you, book friend, the happiest thing is that you are fatter than me, thank you, Commonwealth.
