After the day's filming, Li Zhifan did not stay on the set as usual, but left the set in a hurry and took a car to the airport.

"What time is the plane?"

Li Zhifan asked while looking at his watch.

This watch is his latest new endorsement of the domestic brand, and this one is one of the more mid-range brands - 17,000 yuan!

Compared with those famous watches that are often three or five million, or even tens of millions, they are too cheap!

But he has always disliked wearing a watch on his wrist, and this time if it wasn't for an endorsement, he really didn't want to wear it.

However, after wearing it for a few days, I got used to it, and I like to look at my watch when I have nothing to do, which has the advantage of having a high degree of certainty and clarity about the time.

"The plane still has 27 minutes to land, but if it comes out, it will have to add another 15 minutes or so!" said Liu Zexin on the side.

The airport in Xiangjiang is not without VIP fast lane, but it is precisely because there are too many big people who land in Xiangjiang every day that the VIP fast track has quickly become a celebrity club, and sometimes even the entry and exit are slower than ordinary channels.

"It's okay, it's in time!"

Li Zhifan tidied up his clothes.

To be honest, he was a little nervous, because today he was going to meet a special person - Fang Xiao, the second richest man in Asia and the former richest man in the mainland.

Although he is now in second place, his legend is still everywhere.

This time it was Fang Xiao who specially asked him, knowing that Li Zhifan couldn't leave filming in Xiangjiang, so he deliberately took a private jet to Xiangjiang, but the two only had one meal, and Li Zhifan didn't know what he wanted to talk about, could it be that he needed his own help in the development of the entertainment field?

Maybe there is only this one possibility, if there is more, it is also Li Zhifan can't guess.

Half an hour later, Li Zhifan appeared at the airport, but he only sat in the car, and it was Liu Zexin who went down to greet him.

Li Zhifan kept looking at his watch and puffed out for ten minutes before he saw Fang Xiao walking out with a hug from front to back.

There were no reporters or media around, but the bodyguards were still on standby, with serious faces.

Fang Xiao saw Liu Zexin, walked over directly, and after shaking hands with her, Liu Zexin opened the car door, Fang Xiao waved his hand to Li Zhifan in the car, and then asked for a folder from the secretary next to him, and then sat in.

Li Zhifan thought that Fang Xiao would show him the folder directly and talk about business, after all, he was a very busy big man, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "The weather in Xiangjiang is not very good!

"Yes, it rained lightly in the morning today, and it only stopped in the afternoon!" Li Zhifan said with a smile.

"My life! Don't say it, I'm often stuck in the ghost door these days!"

Fang Xiao didn't have the frame of a big man at all, but complained to Li Zhifan, "I almost died last night, I drank three bottles of foreign wine with them, that thing is too tormenting." ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifan echoed, "Mr. Fang's amount of alcohol is good, aren't you drunk with three bottles?"

"It's okay, I didn't get drunk enough to break the piece, and I didn't do anything deviant!"

Fang Xiao smiled, "Hey, you've been in Xiangjiang for a while, right?

"Yes!" Li Zhifan naturally thought of the place where Liao Feng had a treat last time, "There is a place called Long Jingxuan, which is good!"

"It's Long Jingxuan again!"

Fang Xiao touched his forehead, "Hey, every time you come to Xiangjiang, take me to that place, forget it, I'll take you somewhere!"

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan didn't ask where to go, and nodded directly.

Fang Xiao said to the driver: "Go to Matouwei Road!"

"Okay!" The driver is Li Zhifan's person, but he is a local veteran driver in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't need to navigate at all.

But this road has to go from the west of the Xiangjiang River to the central part, don't look at the Xiangjiang River, but this road takes a lot of time to walk.

Fang Xiao didn't come to Li Zhifan to talk about business.

"Now, look at this!"

Fang Xiao has been holding a folder since he got into the car, Li Zhifan has always wanted to know what is inside, and now he finally sees it.

There were several contracts in it, as well as a letter of appointment.

Li Zhifan first read the first contract and blurted out in surprise: "What? You want to buy all my shares in Timeline as a wholly owned shareholder?"

"That's right!" Fang Xiao said, "Although Timeline is doing well now, it is always a small platform, relying on your support, when will it be able to achieve the level of an entertainment empire? ”

"This ......"

Of course Li Zhifan has to hesitate!

He didn't refuse it outright, because according to the conditions given by Xiao above the contract, it was still very generous, at least 2 times the premium to acquire his shares, which was rare.

But it is unlikely that he will agree, after all, the timeline was set up by himself, although there are several other shareholders, but he is the pillar, and he can call the shots.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse!"

Fang Xiao simply said directly, "There are still a few contracts in the back, we hope that you and your company will join our Oriental Entertainment Group, with you as the chairman of the board of directors of the group, and have all the leading rights of the Oriental Group in the company." ”

Oriental Entertainment Group is a system of Oriental Group, but Oriental Group has only made a certain amount of investment in this company, and in addition to the major shareholder of Oriental Group, there are many small shareholders.

Now Fang Xiao invited Li Zhifan and his company to join and let him serve as the chairman of the board of directors of the subgroup, which is to let him act as the decision-making power of the Oriental Group, and Li Zhifan's company can be fully acquired by the Oriental Group and incorporated into the overall equity of the Oriental Group, or it can be exchanged for the shares of the Great Entertainment Group and become a shareholder of the company, but he still holds all the decision-making rights of this part of the equity of the Oriental Group, including voting, proposal resolutions, and other acquisitions.

"I mean...... You're asking me to be the chairman of the board?"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "No, no, I have no experience in this area, and I was handed over to a professional manager to take care of it at that time, and I was in a state of trusteeship." ”

"You take this position for the time being, I will split the entertainment industry, it is ready to go public, you try it first, if you still feel that it is not good after the listing, it is not the life you want, OK, you can resign from the position of chairman." ”

Fang Xiao said with a smile, "Besides, I am also the chairman of the board of directors, and I am not as careful every day as you think, but I am very comfortable, as long as I make decisions and sign on major decisions, there are management in the following matters." ”

"...... like this"

Li Zhifan thought for a while and said, "I'd better think about it again! Give you an answer as soon as possible!"

"Good!"

Fang Xiao didn't press step by step, but said, "If you settle in Dawen Entertainment, then you will have more funds available to complete your dreams and produce more works." In addition, there are two contracts in the back, which I hope you will be the general manager of Dream Works at the same time, since the integration of entertainment, Walt Disney, William Entertainment and Dream Works in the United States will also be merged into the big entertainment group, but to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, there must be works that can be shown to the world, so I plan to make a few animated movies, I hope that you will supervise these works while serving as this general manager. ”

"That's easy to say!"

Li Zhifan immediately nodded and agreed to this item, "But I have to wait for the filming of my side to finish, or after they finish it, bring it to me for review." ”

"OK, that's what I meant!"

Fang Xiao said, "Of course, if you can't be busy, just put up a name, after all, you are a producer, you know this industry." ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan has no experience in making animated films, but the film works are all in the same vein, and the producer is actually a decoration most of the time, and the real director who is involved in the production work is the chief director and the director of post-production, and the person who is named as a producer only needs to watch the finished film at the end.

talked so much about work, and during the meal, Fang Xiao didn't say a word about work.

Even though Li Zhifan scratched his heart with a hundred claws, he still pretended to be calm.

After the meal, Li Zhifan sent Fang Xiao to the airport again, and on the way back, he said to Liu Zexin: "Inform Zhao Yiduo that there will be a video conference tomorrow morning!"

"Is it about mergers and acquisitions?" asked Liu Zexin.

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan nodded, "This...... What do you think?"

Liu Zexin also heard Fang Xiao's words, and Li Zhifan naturally wanted to ask his opinion.

"From what point you look!"

Liu Zexin said, "Now when you shoot movies and TV, you have to go outside to attract investment, and you can't just rely on the company's own investment, and it is easy to break the capital chain." But joining the East is different, the last thing they lack is money, and we can do it all internally in the future, such as investment, production, distribution, etc. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan nodded and continued to listen.

"Then it is the development after joining the East, once the group is listed, then your worth will increase by a hundredfold, and it is not impossible to be among the top 100 of the national rich list at that time!"

"Hmm!" Li Zhifan smiled, "Money is not my lifelong pursuit, but Dongfang is a business group after all, even if it is split to establish Dawen Entertainment, it is also playing capital, I am just worried that in terms of works, it is not rigorous enough!"

"That's not something you think about!"

Liu Zexin said, "Why do you have to be so tired, as long as your own work is successful, you are worthy of the audience, isn't it? Moreover, Dongfang has acquired so many companies in the United States, it will be easier for you to promote yourself in overseas markets." ”

"The overseas market is not what I am currently considering, and I don't think there is any need for Chinese people to cater to the overseas market, as a Chinese star, they should be allowed to cater to us in turn, which is the goal of lifelong struggle!"

Especially in Hollywood, behind it is controlled by big capital, and without the help of big capital, no matter how good the works or artists are abroad, they will not be able to get in. ”

In the face of Liu Zexin's words, Li Zhifan just received it from the bottom of his heart and took it out to think about it in the future.

What I am thinking about now is whether to agree to Fang Xiao's request.

Next.

Li Zhifan held a management meeting with Zhao Yiduo and others who were far away in the capital for the first time.

If the merger and acquisition plan is voted through at the management meeting, then Li Zhifan can bring this intention to the company's shareholders' meeting and say that if the management does not agree, the merger and acquisition is doomed.

"Mr. Li, let me first report on the company's situation in the recent period......"

As soon as the meeting began, Zhao Yiduo was holding a report and preparing to talk.

Li Zhifan waved his hand: "Let's put this first, and then talk about it last, let me talk about one thing first, yesterday I met with Chairman Fang Xiaofang of the Oriental Group, he wants to acquire our timeline, or our timeline is merged into their Oriental Entertainment Group, I will ask the opinions of the managers who are doing it, and everyone can talk freely!"

"Huh?"

"What? Eastern Bloc?"

Fang ...... Fang Xiao?"

"Acquisition or merger?"

"You can do both, but shouldn't it be up to the directors to decide?"

"Mr. Li, this is too sudden, we never thought about it, and we don't know how to say it. ”

Everyone spoke one after another.

But Li Zhifan was the two most important professional managers of the company and asked: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Chen, let's talk about it!"

"I think so......"

Mr. Yang stroked his glasses, temporarily organized the language and said: "At present, our company is operating normally, there is no shortage of money, and there is no problem with the capital chain, and it can even be said that it is superior to most domestic entertainment companies." ”
