Chapter 231 Lobbying Support

Mark pulled Martin's phone, and as soon as he connected, the other party answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mark said, "I'm going back to L.A., come out for a drink." ”

Martin said, "Where are you?"

Mark said, "I'll go find you." ”

Martin said, "Come to Columbia Pictures? I'll have someone waiting for you at the door." ”

Mark and the others immediately drove to Columbia Pictures headquarters in Carver City, and Mark understood why Martin would say that people should wait for them at the door, because there were two or three hundred people at the door holding signs and shouting slogans, and at the door were heavily armed Blackwater Security Company security guards, looking at them wearing helmets, body armor, and M21 automatic rifles, which was like a big enemy.

When Mark and his motorcade arrived, the barricade at the gate was raised, and the motorcade went straight inside, and as they passed in front of the demonstrators, they booed, cheered, and threw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes at them, while the security guards did not hesitate to fire rubber bullets over their heads as a warning.

Such a hot scene, Mark is the first time to see it, fortunately their car is bulletproof, and it is reflective, Mark and they drove into the company as instructed, Martin was waiting for them at the door of the company lobby, seeing their car so dirty, he felt very shameless, he was furious, and scolded the security captain next to him: "You were fired!"

The security captain turned pale and asked, "Why?"

Martin pointed to the rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes in the car and said sharply: "That's why, you make me very shameless, Thomas, the security captain is up to you, next time there is such a thing, shoot directly, kill me!"

A big man with a bulging chest and belly shouted, "Yes, sir!"

The security captain had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Martin said to Mark: "A bunch of people make you laugh." ”

Mark said: "Labor disputes are your own, why do you have to be so nervous. ”

Martin said: "It's a bunch of insatiable people who actually ask me to pay three times more compensation than the law, why don't you rob it!"

This is their housework, and Mark is inconvenient to ask, and says, "I have something to talk to you about today." ”

Martin said, "I know, go to my office and talk." He led Mark and Meghan to the office, poured a glass of red wine for Mark and Meghan, and raised his glass and said, "Cheers to friendship!"

Megan first said: "You, a national hero, are not having a good time, and you will soon become a national hero." ”

Martin said: "My life is very good, I don't care if I am a hero or a dog, the law cannot restrain me, and neither can I be benevolent and moral, what is the matter with you coming to me?

Mark said: "I've heard a rumor that you're interested in selling Columbia Pictures!"

Martin scolded, "These damn, goddamn shareholders, they're all vampires. "Apparently he thinks the shareholders are leaking his secrets.

Meghan said, "Is there any basis for this rumor?"

Martin said: "Shareholders are undecided, if it's profitable, they don't mind holding it for a long time, if it's not profitable, then cash out for a profit, they can't decide, Mark, you should know why I rejected your kindness, right? ”

Mark said, "So, the rumors are true?"

Martin said: "Yes! Are you interested in this film company? Haha! Of course, who doesn't slander the Torch Goddess when it comes to playing movies? We are friends and friends, and now I can't reveal anything? But this is the highest price, and if the price is the same, I will give priority to you." ”

Mark said: "So you don't rule out the possibility of selling?"

Martin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? Anything is possible, if you want to buy it, then be prepared for the money, and the highest price will be won." ”

Megan said, "How much are you going to offer?"

Martin smiled slyly and said, "It depends on how much you offer? If there are two and five hundred and fifty billion, I will sell it to you immediately, which is something that you don't have to think about." ”

The market value of this company is only more than 12 billion in the era of Soni, even if you count MGM, it is more than 17 billion, and the current market value is less than 10 billion, and more than 25 billion is equal to robbery.

Megan said, "Are you crazy about money?"

Martin said: "Who is afraid of more money? Colombia plus MGM, the world's largest film library, is a strange commodity, and I will not lower the price." ”

Megan said: "It's too expensive, the price is scary." ”

Martin said, "Somebody will be interested! Haha! Both, I still have one." "It's driving people away.

Megan scolded all the way back all the way, scolding Martin for being obsessed with his mind, seeing that his eyes were open, and he didn't recognize people on the other side, and when he got into the car, Megan said: "Martin is not as righteous as he imagined." ”

Mark said: "This is a big business of tens of billions, what kind of favor and righteousness is there there, this is business, everyone is doing business? Go back and ask Larry's opinion, if they don't support it, everything is fake." ”

Meghan said: "25 billion, we can't raise so much money anyway." ”

"If we get support, we'll raise 15 billion for the takeover, beyond which we'll abandon the takeover," Mark said. ”

Mark went straight back to David's house, he called in advance to make an appointment, he would go home for dinner, back home, he played with his sister Kayla for a while as usual, after dinner listened to a new piano piece by Kayla, after Kayla went to bed, he asked Sophia about the possibility of this.

Both David and Sophia were a little surprised and shocked.

David said: "This is a big company with tens of billions. ”

Sophia said: "What's so strange about this, Lei Shidong can swallow Viacom with a small Bo Da, Whale Swallow Viacom, Mark They just copy this success themselves, and no one stipulates that this is not replicable, now the question is that you have the ability to take over this giant company, can you digest him? You have to understand that the snake swallows the elephant, and if you can't successfully digest it, you will only choke yourself." ”

Mark said: "I know that the steps are too fast, too rushed, but this opportunity is rare, there are few big companies to sell, our company is ready to ask Iger as CEO, with this experienced veteran, it is not a problem to take over the company, it will definitely not be like Martin, it will not be a mess." ”

Sophia said: "The stakes are very high, I will not comment until I see your plan, for now, I dare not promise you, but if it is feasible, I will do my best to fight for you and our family." ”

Sophia has long listed Mark as a person who can conspire with great things, Mark is a good boy, saved her life, made a fortune by himself and pulled Donald and Kayla, so that they both have a fortune of more than 100 million, there are few people who are so high-spirited and generous, and now Mark's plan is not for himself, but for the family.

Sophia, who was born in a banking family, knows the huge influence of the media industry, their family has invested in the media industry many times over the past hundred years, all of which ended in failure, and now Mark can be said to be the best in this industry, since he has been in the industry, he has never missed a beat, his talent and vision are destined to eat in this industry, without Mark's promotion, they will not be strong to invest in Google, and get five times the return in a few months, Brother Gu is planning a second financing, this time the scale may break six billion, and Donald is engaged in the Internet industry, which is also part of the media industry, the two sides are highly complementary, all mothers will plan for their children, she knows what this means for children, which means that they can become the top elite in this world, and they can do what they want without being influenced by money.

David said: "Okay, we at Hanhe Law Firm will provide the necessary legal assistance, and we will form a team of lawyers to support you at the beginning of the acquisition. "The acquisition of tens of billions of large enterprises is absolutely indispensable to the lawyer team and the accounting team.

Mark muttered, "I'm so concerned about this because there is a real possibility of success, and I have a little secret to share with you. ”

Early the next morning, just after going to work, Meghan came to Mark's office with a coffee mug and asked, "Does Sophia support this plan?"

"I believe our results are the same," Mark said. ”

Megan said: "I'm waiting for this guy Egger to join, and then make a plan." ”

Mark said: "Do you have the ability to make a plan to acquire a 10 billion enterprise?"

Megan shrugged.

"So we need a professional manager who is experienced, competent, and forward-looking," Mark said. ”

Megan said: "Fortunately, it was only three days to wait. ”

Mark said: "The meaning of a giant company is that it is a giant, it can be called a player, like New Line, Miramax, Pixar, Lucasfilm has done a good job, but who would say that they are Hollywood players? Of course, our debt pressure is also huge. ”

In the shopping mall, he will only be afraid of not being able to borrow money in the bank, but not afraid of debts, Mark is a timid and cautious person, if the family is willing to borrow money, it is also bold to use it, he also understands that Sophia also has the heart to build the family into a huge rich family, so that those sisters who look down on her will be embarrassed, and there are two trump cards of Brother Gu and Facebook, what debt crisis are you afraid of, dare to borrow and dare to spend?

Running a giant company, he will have experienced veterans to help, and he is responsible for the production, just an IP in the hands of Marvel Films, can make any giant company prosperous, and he is the chosen one, there is a golden finger, making a movie will never fall into the pit, he is in charge of this piece, just stuck here, there is such a huge advantage, why don't you dare to merge it? He is confident that he will run it well, let it develop and grow, and have the opportunity to transform into a dragon, who will give up this opportunity?

As soon as Mark heard Egger's reminder, he couldn't control his ambitions, and decided to go all out to marry the Torch Goddess home, and began to turn this plan into practical operation, Mark said: "The reason why I am so enthusiastic about promoting this plan is because I have a trump card in my hand, which may be the key to our victory, without this trump card, I really don't dare to promote this matter so enthusiastically." ”

Thank you, the first leader of the alliance, the happiest thing is that you are fatter than me, thank you for your support, Commonwealth.
