Chapter 246: A two-pronged approach

Everyone has their own ideas, maybe it's the annual selection of Miss Hong Kong, maybe it's the legend of Li Ka-shing, it seems that there is still the pride of Hong Kong people, and of course the most should be Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

Especially after the Hong Kong film bubble, a large number of Hong Kong stars entered the mainland to pan for gold, and we have more impressions, not only the four kings of the old generation, Double Monday, but also Nicholas Tse, tins These new generations, and Tsui Hark, Er Dongsheng, these big directors of Hong Kong, are infinitely closer to mainland audiences.

And the film company that cannot be ignored the most is Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and many other powerful people are from this company, and the popular Crazy Boy series in the mainland is a witness of Golden Harvest's times.

So Zhang Qiaofeng is full of infinite excitement about the opportunity to acquire Golden Harvest, well, he is very excited, in essence he is a manager, and managers never let emotions affect their judgment.

Zou Wenhuai asked Zhang Qiaofeng to have tea at the Peninsula Hotel, he has a deep affection for this hotel, in the 80s when he and Run Run Shaw fought the hardest, he did not come to afternoon tea for a long time, because he did not want to meet Run Run Shaw here.

"Time flies, and in the blink of an eye I'm old. ”

"There is an old family and if there is a treasure, Mr. Zou is a living fossil in the Chinese film industry, and only with you can we witness the glory of our Chinese films. ”

Zou Wenhuai laughed, "No, I'm just a junior staff member at your age, and I've just joined the Shaw Brothers as a small clerk, so how can you become the general manager of the theater chain." ”

"But I will never be the pride of the Chinese film industry. ”

This sentence seemed to poke Zou Wenhuai's loss, and he was a little sad for a while, "I have fought for a lifetime, but I have not made any achievements." ”

Zhang Qiaofeng could only express his attitude in silence, and the old man's memories were still not mixed.

"Sorry for the gaffes. Zou Wenhuai smiled, the folds on his face were particularly thick, "Tell me about your company." ”

Finally came to the main event, Zhang Qiaofeng was still very calm, "Mortal Cinemas is a strong company, currently ranked sixth in China, and the merger and acquisition of Golden Harvest will complete the layout of cinemas throughout Asia, which will be a strong alliance ......."

"Are you going to buy a wholly owned company or do you want to take a controlling stake?"

"The premise of everything is to start with the acquisition of Mr. Zou's shares. ”

"Manager Zhang, you are very cautious. ”

"Haha. Zhang Qiaofeng snorted, "I also work for people, so naturally I have to be cautious." ”

Zou Wenhuai pestled the crutches in his hand, "I'm old, Manager Zhang, don't think I'm speaking badly, as far as I know, after your company acquired the new film association to form the current mortal cinema chain, the profits obtained by your company have been expanding the cinema, although Golden Harvest is not as brilliant as it was in its prime, but I'm afraid it's not something that mortals can eat now, right?"

These words that were a bit of a slap in the face made Zhang Qiaofeng not angry but happy, which just proves that Zou Wenhuai does have the intention of selling the equity in his hand, "Mr. Zou must also know who my boss is, and this acquisition will be provided by Mr. Lin with a sum of funds, which is enough to buy Golden Harvest." ”

Zou Wenhuai heard a lot from Zhang Qiaofeng's words, and he faintly had a feeling that Zhang Qiaofeng was full of confidence in the acquisition of Golden Harvest, this old man who was over eighty years old had already passed the age of not being confused, and he was well versed in the world, and he soon made a decision, "I don't know how much Mr. Zhang is ready to pay?"

Lin Fan had already explained this to Zhang Qiaofeng in advance, but Zhang Qiaofeng did not expect that it would reach the point of substantive negotiation so soon. He was also going to tell about Lin Fan's huge industry, such as the crown agency founded by the founder of CAA, to show that Lin Fan has the strength to enter Hollywood. But now it seems that this old gentleman sees things very clearly, and talks about business when it is time to talk about business, and never talks about any dreams.

"Mr. Zou, we are ready to acquire 25% of the shares held by Mr. Zou for 200 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Zou Wenhuai neither expressed satisfaction nor dissatisfaction, he understood that this was the starting price given by Zhang Qiaofeng, if he was not satisfied, he could negotiate, this is also the sincerity of mortals, this offer determines whether there is a need to negotiate next.

"I have no opinion on selling my shares, and Manager Zhang can discuss specific matters with my lawyer in detail. ”

OK, Zhang Qiaofeng also put his mind at ease, he understood that this transaction was already eight or nine years old, and he took it for granted that Zou Wenhuai did not negotiate the price in person, has anyone ever seen this kind of thing personally caused by the boss of the company?

........

"I'm sorry to ask Mr. Prince out again. ”

Prince looked at his watch, "In fact, it's been a week since we last met, and I'm happy to see Mr. Lin again." ”

"I understand the preciousness of Mr. Prince's time, so I decided to make a long story short. Lin Fan looked serious, "I have another business that I want to entrust to Citibank." ”

"Oh?"

"I want to buy AMC. Lin Fan smiled, he started earlier than Wang Jianlin, and completed his film layout ahead of schedule, and similarly, he may pay less under this economic crisis.

Prince's expression became very exciting, and after a moment, he said with some surprise, "Mr. Lin, are you not joking?"

Lin Fan also looked at his watch, "If I don't feel wrong, another three billion dollars have been credited to my account now." ”

"What?" Prince stood up suddenly, "You're not kidding?"

Lin Fan shrugged, "This seems to be very easy to be exposed, so this lying is very costly." ”

Prince leaned back on the sofa a little dumbfounded, being able to take out eight billion dollars and controlling eight billion assets is a different concept, and being able to put forward so much cash can only prove that Lin Fan's assets are at least tens of billions of dollars, could it be that Lin Fan still has a hidden industry and is not known to the world? But this explanation is too terrifying, the young man in front of him seems to be only twenty years old?

However, these speculations only passed through Prince's mind for a moment, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Mr. Lin, if the customers were like you, the bank would fail." ”

Lin Fan couldn't help laughing, indeed, many company acquisitions like to be solved by borrowing from banks, and banks can also get good interest because of this, it is indeed rare for Lin Fan to have so much cash.

"Does Mr. Prince accept my commission?"

"Why not? I'm very interested in Mr. Lin's commission, and I hope to have more opportunities to work with Mr. Lin in the future. ”

"Yes, I still have plenty of cash. Lin Fanyun said lightly, "If you meet a suitable project again, you will entrust it to Citibank, after all, as a Chinese person, the only foreign bank full of feelings is Citigroup." ”

Prince's eyes flashed, he didn't hear Lin Fan's other words, but the sentence of sufficient cash was deeply remembered in his heart.......
