Chapter Ninety-Five: I Need Disney Stock
After the question was asked, Ilya's face on the other side changed slightly, and he was silent, as if he had something difficult to say.
"What's wrong, Uncle Elijah?" Vought continued.
"No, no, no, there is no problem, but Disney's stock acquisition is unsatisfactory, and I have talked about several people, but in the end they have changed, resulting in me only buying less than one percent of the shares, as for the others, I am waiting and seeing, and continue to discuss the price ......"
"What's going on? Is it only one percent? Disney stock is so popular? Are you reluctant to sell?" Watt asked rhetorically, and in his impression, although Disney's stock can maintain its value, it is not to the point where everyone is unwilling to sell.
"Don't you know? It's all your work!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Well, it has a lot to do with you. ”
"Why?"
"You're the producer of American Painting, right?"
"Of course, but how can this be ...... Disney stock" Before he finished speaking, Walter stopped, because he completely reacted at this time, because no one wanted to get rid of this Disney stock, and it did have something to do with him.
"As a listed company, Disney's box office performance in the film and television industry is a great stimulus for the stock market. When you finish a live-action movie that Disney hasn't yet seen, with a small budget of one million dollars, and sweep the box office to break 100 million, after the movie is released, more and more people who are ready to sell stocks give up on this idea, which is also something I never expected. ”
After Ilya finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders very helplessly, and then continued: " Of course, these are not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that after the movie was released, Disney's stock began to skyrocket, and there was no sign of decline at all, and even because the box office of the movie broke 100 million, it was constantly surging, which did not give those speculators time to give up their shares at all, so today, except for some people who are eager to get rid of cash, everyone else is holding in their hands, and they are not in a hurry to get rid of it at all. ”
Well, I didn't think about it, after all, for the stock market, I just followed the crowd in my previous life, and I always wanted to buy a potential stock to get rich, but which one to buy was just a lot more popular, and in the end I didn't stop it in time and was trapped in tens of thousands.
At the same time, in order to completely control Disney, Ilya was allowed to acquire shares, after all, there is no certain stock, not a major shareholder, even if he succeeds in entering Disney's top management according to his own plan, it is difficult to obtain the status of decision-making.
However, I didn't expect that by mistake, because I poached Lucas and his "American Painting" for Disney, the result of the box office explosion was that Disney's stock was good, the stock price rose sharply, and shareholders became more and more convinced that Disney would have greater profits, and without greater benefits, it would not be sold at all.
This is why Ilya does not have the main intention of discussing Disney stocks with his own customers today, after all, he wants to control Disney, but Ilya does not know, he is simply controlling the investment stocks for himself, and simply completing the tasks assigned by himself, so he will naturally not take the acquisition of Disney stocks without results as the main topic and report to himself, and his intention to meet with himself today is only to report on the acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway shares.
"Hmm...... Uncle Elijah, can you tell me how much Disney stock I own now? I want to know if it's already certain. After thinking about it, Walter continued.
Ilya frowned and said, "My acquisition situation is very bad, if you only count the shares that can be determined, Walter's Disney stock in your name is probably less than three percent." ”
"Three percent? That's a lot. Walter muttered to himself, but he didn't expect Elijah to have only this achievement in Disney's stock, it seems that it is indeed "American Style Painting" because of the anti-Vietnam War propaganda, it is too hot.
Originally, Walter inherited less than one percent of Disney shares from his cheap father, after all, his father did not hold many Disney shares, of which seventy percent was given to the original partner according to the will he made before his death, and the rest was given to Walter. Now it seems that Walter is completely shooting himself in the foot, and because of the box office explosion, he blocked his sprint to the highest power of Disney.
"What? do you need Disney stock so badly?" asked Ilya when she saw Walter's expression.
"Hmm...... Now I really need Disney stock. ”
"Why?"
Walter glanced at Elijah, shrugged his shoulders, and then said in a very sincere tone, "Uncle Elijah, do you know what I've felt at Disney during this time?"
"What do you feel?"
"Power, Goal, Pursuit, Spiritual Yearning...... Since I joined Disney and started working, I found that my previous life was a complete piece of garbage, although it is the same now, but I have more goals in life than before, and I don't have to be confused all day, so I really want to grow up at Disney now, and then rely on my identity to control Disney, and make myself and Disney a giant in the media industry, and to accomplish all this, I need to have a certain amount of Disney equity and let the board respect me......" Walter spoke the language he had already made up in one breath, very quickly, and even his tone was a little out of breath because he didn't breathe in time.
These words were prepared by Walter to deal with the people he knew well, after all, it is difficult not to doubt when he shows a different talent and interest in his career, so it is important to have a better reason.
"Wow...... Oh, that sounds like a good inspirational story. Ilya said with his mouth wide open, although he also felt that Walter was different than before, but he didn't expect him to suddenly have such a good pursuit.
"Thanks for the compliment. Walter thanked and continued: "It's a pity that I don't have much stock right now......"
"Hmm......" Ilya groaned, then looked at Walter and said tentatively, "Not necessarily. ”
"What's going on?" Sensing that things were taking a turn for the better, Walter hurriedly asked.
"Actually, your sister Taylor knew you needed Disney stock, and she contacted me, and she had about five percent of the stock in her hand, but she had a request......"
