Chapter 426: The Beast's Head Reappears
Chapter 426: The Beast's Head Reappears
After listening to David's introduction, Fu Zhengyi's anger surged!
There is another beast head, and it is alive!
It should have been a happy thing, but because the buyer was Pinot of France, Fu Zhengyi's initial expectation of gathering twelve beast heads became more and more slim.
Because, after buying this beast head, little Pino went to the beach club, claiming that if anyone was willing to buy it, then the three copper beast heads he held could be packaged and sold, but the price was 300 million US dollars!
"Fu, little Pino knows that I am one of the shareholders of the beach club, and he specifically told me this. Unfortunately, by the time I was informed, little Pino had already returned to France with the head of the beast, and it seems that he has no possibility of selling it at all, and he is just trying to make Guò do this to spread the news......"
"David, thank you! The other party is a rich Frenchman, and a simple bid is meaningless! I will think of other ways, I believe that these cultural relics that originally belonged to Huaxia will eventually be returned!"
"If you need help, don't be polite. DreamWorks' equity needs to be voted on internally, but Alan has already said that he doesn't mind you joining, and now only the more stubborn Steven is still reluctant to nod, out of respect for him, maybe the time for the transfer of DreamWorks' equity will be delayed, for which I am very sorry......"
"It's okay! it's going to be mine and it's going to go into my pocket after all. I think the box office share of "Shrek" should be enough in exchange for DreamWorks shares, right?"
"Don't talk about it all the time. DreamWorks is the embodiment of the dreams of a few of us, Alan is just a simple financial investment, although you also insist that you will not interfere in the company's operations because of your shares, but Stephen is not used to working with strangers, understand......"
"Okay, but if the previous agreement still can't be fulfilled after the release of the second movie, then I will definitely ask DreamWorks to fulfill its original promise!" Although getting DreamWorks' shares a day earlier or a day later is not a big deal in Fu Zhengyi's opinion, it must be firm and decisive when it is time to take a stand.
"No problem, it's just that I heard that the gold medal screenwriter Julian was fired by [Dream Media], and the successor is a female screenwriter who has only been in the industry for more than ten years, this person has a deep personal relationship with Gonzalez, I am not optimistic about whether he can come up with a script that satisfies you, if you feel necessary, I can ask Jeffrey to reintroduce you to the best screenwriter in the industry......"
"No, since Gonzalez thinks that Gina can complete the adaptation of this movie, then the trust she should have before the adapted script is handed in, I don't think that a gold medal screenwriter is necessarily better than a screenwriter who has just entered the industry. Everyone is growing, and the opportunities that should be given need to be given, otherwise any industry will lose the possibility of innovation, and [Dream Media] will never do this kind of thing to rest on its laurels and suppress newcomers!"
David was surprised and thought that no wonder this young man would bring William Stark's "Shrek" to the screen, it turned out that he not only dared to defy the so-called "authority", but also really had an unconventional contrarian thinking!
Thinking of this, David said with a smile. "Fu, when you come over next time, you must remember to call me, Alan very much hopes to meet you and get to know you!"
"I am deeply honored. Alan was misunderstood by the media, but I don't think he was just 'lucky' as the outside world suggests. I think he's a pure idealist with principles, beliefs, and persistence, and I just hate to know too few of these friends......"
After ending the call, David immediately called Allen, and after retelling the part about him that Fu Zhengyi had mentioned, David laughed and teased. "Alan, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't know he wouldn't have seen you in person, I would have even been because he was your old friend for many years......"
"I feel ashamed of this young man's evaluation, I may be going to Huaxia next month, can you help me make an appointment with him in advance, I can't wait to meet him!"
His eyes widened instantly, and David was stunned. "Dating him? You took the initiative to ask him out? Oh my God! You're a shareholder of Microsoft, and there are so many people in the whole United States who are worth making an appointment with you, I can't imagine that you will take him seriously to this kind of process!"
"David, don't judge people by their appearance, don't despise them because of their youth, and don't evaluate a person's character and ability because of their wealth, isn't your success because of persistence?"
Allen's rhetorical question made David dumbfounded.
Sensing that David was a little embarrassed, Alan quickly changed the subject. "Oh yes. It just so happens that I have another thing that I find a little tricky, and I would like you to give me some advice. I want to buy the Portland Trail Blazers, but the offer is out of my budget, do you think I should buy it for a high price, or keep waiting?"
"What? Are you going to get into the NBA?"
"It's just a hobby. It happened that the Portland Trail Blazers were about to sell, so I sent someone over to contact me, but the price was a little high, so I was hesitant......"
David, who also likes these events on weekdays, thought about it before saying. "Allen, last year, the Trail Blazers' results in the regular season were decent, but they were out in the first round of the playoffs, and the head coach was fired because of this, and I am not optimistic about the new coach Michael!"
"My psychological expectation is 50 million US dollars, but the other party's offer is 90 million, and the gap is too big, so I am a little shaken...... I wonder if you're interested in participating?"
"Forget it, liking football games is not the same thing as owning a team, how to run a team is a pure layman......"
Before Davy could finish speaking, Alan smiled. "David, before you founded DreamWorks, you said that you would spend the rest of your life in as many industries as you didn't work in, and what could be more challenging than running a basketball team?"
Allen's seductive persuasion moved Davy, but soon he thought about the troubles associated with a team.
Venue, player identification and sale, coach selection, advertising expenses, negotiations and negotiations with sponsors......
Frightened by what could be called 'trouble' in his head, David hurriedly said. "Alan, DreamWorks is all about entertainment, but the basketball team is pure sports, a kind of fierce confrontation, a show with a gorgeous personal style, and not touching an industry that I am not familiar with, is the foundation of my survival until now!"
"Aha! David, I see that you can't mean it, just buy the team, but you must remember to make an appointment with that young man for me, I should be there in the third week of next month......"
David, who had made the promise, immediately called Fu Zhengyi, saying that Alan would be going to Huaxia and hoped to meet him.
After ending the call with David, Fu Zhengyi called Guo Jianmin in London and asked him to collect as much information as possible about the French Pinot and his company's financial initiatives.
I saw the San Francisco News a week ago, so Guo Jianmin has a new understanding and speculation about Fu Zhengyi, the so-called 'executive director' who has given him a position and never interferes too much in the internal affairs of his fund.
Although he felt that Fu Zhengyi's request was a bit outrageous, he was still prepared to investigate as much as possible.
It's just that because Pinot Jr. is a well-known French rich man and collector, Guo Jianmin still asked the reason out of caution.
"You don't need to know so much! As long as the law doesn't stipulate that it is not allowed, then you can use it! I need to know everything related to Pinot Jr.! Including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, purchases, and exchange of shares that he or his company plans or has already begun to implement!"
Understanding the requirements and the scale of grasping, Guo Jianmin said. "There are rumours that Pinot Jr. is in contact with Christie's auction house, and his collector status makes it ...... to accept his stake in Christie's auction house to promote its global expansion plans."
"What is the valuation of Christie's auction house, and is it possible to get involved?"
"Unlikely, this kind of international auction house is far from asking for shareholders financial and social status, what auction houses need is influence, what they need is buyers who are willing to spend a lot of money on artworks, hoping to gain the trust of those who want to sell artworks, and valuations alone are not suitable for this industry......"
Although Guo Jianmin's words are tactful enough, they are actually showing a meaning, a rich but not famous guy like himself, even if he is waving a check and wants to participate in the shares, the other party may not even be willing to open the door to him!
"Well, if Pino Jr. has any other movements, he must report it to me as soon as possible, and unless I voluntarily declare that it is revoked, I will insist on it!"
After ending the call with Guo Jianmin, Fu Zhengyi was about to call Tony old in New York, but David's call happened to come in, so Fu Zhengyi asked after he finished speaking. "David, if I want to pretend to be an art collector, what's the shortest and least expensive way to do it?"
"What? Are you finally interested in art?"
"No, I'm just interested in becoming an 'art collector' who is recognized by the outside world, and I hope the cost won't be extraordinary!"
Knowing what Fu Justice meant, David, who was disappointed, smiled bitterly. "You mean you want to pretend to be a collector who is interested in art, so my advice is to acquire some 'Dadaist' art! This will make you famous in the world of collecting ...... very quickly" (To be continued. )
