Chapter 268: Negotiations Break Down
Zhang Fan has a strong confidence in Pixar, because he has many classic cartoons in his hands, and what is missing is Pixar, a company with strong technology and production capabilities, that can produce these cartoons!
For Zhang Fan, once Pixar is in his pocket, it will be a real tiger with wings!
"But Disney needs a lot of money." Li Ruhui raised a realistic question.
"A few tens of billions of dollars is just the market capitalization of the stock market." Zhang Fan leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Why do you think I have to take Pixar first?" ”
Li Ruhui, who was frowning and turning on the ventilation system, turned around in surprise when she heard this: "Are you trying to weaken Disney's market value?" ”
"That's right." Zhang Fan nodded: "Pixar is too important to Disney. Not only can I get a way to fund myself, but I can also hit Disney's value hard and bring his price down. ”
"And, that's just the beginning." Zhang Fan continued to explain: "After that, I will continue to snipe with Disney as the primary target. There are two ways to do this. One is that you can secretly get the support of several other giant companies, after all, if I attack Disney, they will definitely be happy to see it. The second is that Disney can continue to reduce its own value. When I get the right price, I can take it. ”
"It's difficult, isn't it?" Li Ruhui's eyes were full of light, a man like Zhang Fan who has ambitions and the strength to achieve it is very attractive to women.
"If it weren't for the difficulty, Disney would have been taken away a long time ago." Zhang Fan's smile is still the same, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done, only whether you want to do it or not." ”
The phone rang, Li Ruhui picked up the phone and looked at Zhang Fan, "Your guest is here." ”
"Invite him in." Zhang Fan snuffed out his cigarette butt and walked towards the sofa, "Let's hear what kind of conditions Disney offers." ”
Clone had contacted Zhang Fan before, saying that he wanted to come to meet and discuss things. Zhang Fan naturally knew what he was here for. Although I have already decided in my heart that it is impossible to let Disney go, it is still okay to meet and talk.
"Mr. Zhang, when we met for the first time, I really never thought that you would be able to reach this level today." Clun was very emotional.
The young man who had just entered Hollywood and needed Disney's help had grown to the point where Disney had to be afraid. This era is indeed the age of young people.
"Passing the prize." Zhang Fan smiled and waved his hand to signal Crawn to drink coffee, "Come to me this time, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
"Mr. Zhang." Cloun's expression became solemn: "I came here on behalf of Disney to discuss with you what we agreed to before." ”
"What is there to talk about?" Zhang Fan had an indifferent expression on his face.
Crawn sighed to himself, he knew it was useless to come this time. Zhang Fan had no intention of letting Pixar go at all. However, he still had to say the conditions offered by Disney.
"As long as Mr. Zhang is willing to give up Pixar, Disney is willing to give the most preferential treatment." Crawn said with a calm face about Disney's conditions: "In the future, Mr. Zhang's films will be released on Disney's most favorable terms." Disney is willing to cooperate with Mr. Zhang's company in depth, whether it is filming or distribution. Disney is willing to help Mr. Zhang contact the three major cinema chains, as well as DVD companies and peripheral product manufacturers. Disney can help Mr. Zhang get the best price from them. ”
Zhang Fan looked at Crawn with a calm face and asked softly, "Is there anything else?" ”
"In addition, Disney is willing to buy 10% of Mr. Zhang's company for $630 million!" That's Disney's killer feature.
"Film company?" Zhang Fan frowned and asked.
"Film Company." Crawn sighed in his heart about Zhang Fan's cleverness. When this condition was proposed at the meeting before, some shareholders said that they wanted to buy all the shares of Zhang Fan's company, but they were just reprimanded.
Although Zhang Fan's film company is developing very well, it definitely does not have a price of $6.3 billion. Because Zhang Fan's company is only a film company, it does not include the copyrights of his best-selling and various variety shows. Even with three best-selling movies in hand, it's impossible to reach this price.
And Disney gave this price, which is completely free of charge. They wanted to use the money to impress Zhang Fan and make him give up Pixar. After all, this is equivalent to taking hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing, which is enough for Zhang Fan to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.
After Crawn finished speaking, Zhang Fan sat quietly on the sofa and smoked, and the office fell silent.
After a while, Zhang Fan looked up at Clun and asked in a loud voice, "What do you think of Disney?" ”
Clun was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Very good company." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Fan laughed: "I think so too." ”
Crawn didn't know what Zhang Fan meant, and looked at him with a frown.
"What do you think of you being the president of Disney?" Zhang Fan suddenly said such a sentence that made Crawn frown.
"Mr. Zhang." Clun stood up abruptly, "Please don't make such jokes. ”
"I'm not kidding." Zhang Fan raised his hand and motioned for Clun to sit down, "If I buy Disney, and then hand over the film adaptation rights of Pixar and Lucasfilm, and of course, the film adaptation rights of those superheroes in my hands, plus the film adaptation rights of my works, to Disney, you can develop it into Hollywood." No, one of the best film companies in the world? ”
"Sure enough." Crawn sighed inwardly. He could feel Zhang Fan's ambition, and now it seems that he is really coming for Disney.
But at this time, he doesn't take it lightly: "It's very difficult. Now you don't have enough fame or financial resources. ”
"Yes, not right now." Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "But it will change in the future." If I join Disney, I hope you will work for me. Of course, also for the work of Disney. ”
Zhang Fan knew that he was not a superman, and it was impossible for him to do everything alone. In this case, it would be best to have someone as capable as Clun to work for him.
Clun was also amazed. In his opinion, if Zhang Fan can really merge Pixar and Lucasfilm into Disney. And there are those adaptation rights of his, not only movies, but also TV series. Disney has ABC TV under its umbrella. With those TV series, ABC will definitely be able to make it brilliant. Not to mention those adaptations of Zhang Fan's movies. In Hollywood, I don't know how many companies are eyeing the film adaptation rights in Zhang Fan's hands.
As for the movie adaptation rights of superheroes in Zhang Fan's hands, if he becomes the president, he will definitely buy the entire Marvel in one fell swoop! At that time, Disney will be invincible!
Unconsciously, Crawn has begun to bring in the role given by Zhang Fan. Although it seems like a joke now, didn't many people take it as a joke when it was frozen before? But now? Disney had to take the initiative to beg Zhang Fan to raise his hand!
By this time, Clone had fully understood. It is impossible for Zhang Fan to let Pixar go. Because if he wants to win Disney, Pixar is an indispensable and important foundation!
"It's too early for now." Clounn sat down and shook his head slightly, "Let's talk about it later." ”
"It won't be too late." Zhang Fan's eyes were full of confidence, "It won't be long before I will achieve this!" ”
Crawn opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhang Fan was delusional. That's Disney, which is worth tens of billions of dollars! But when I think of Zhang Fan's self-made history, he has never failed! Again and again, what seemed impossible has come true. Disney was his next target, and Cloun didn't know what to say for a while.
"Disney's condition is a joke." Zhang Fan hooked the corners of his mouth and waved his hand, "What are the most favorable release conditions, what should Disney do if it refuses to release it at that time?" Can I force it? As for co-shooting, the same is true for convenience, what if Disney doesn't work with me? I can't talk about the production of cinemas, DVDs, and peripherals? Want Disney's help? As for the $600 million, it's even funnier, when did I say I was going to sell my equity? It's come to this kind of time, Disney is still thinking about secretly laying out and then tricking me. When am I a fool? ”
Regarding Zhang Fan's reaction, Crawn didn't say anything, and even his expression didn't change.
When discussing these conditions at Disney before, he said that Zhang Fan is not a fool, and it is impossible not to see it. But those shareholders still want to trap Zhang Fan in this way. Now that it has been pointed out, there is nothing to say.
"Mr. Zhang, do you know that you are offending Disney by doing this?" Clun regains his identity and begins to speak for the benefit of Disney. As for the future, let's wait until later.
"If I give up Pixar, you'll let me go?" Zhang Fan sneered, "Since it's already like this now, I won't be stupid enough to expect Disney to smile at me like no one else afterwards." In fact, ever since I set my sights on Disney, we've been doomed to fall into the next one. ”
"Mr. Zhang." Crawn still didn't give up, "You may not know the power of Disney, we..."
When he frowned and was about to say something, he was directly interrupted by Zhang Fan, "I know." I'm well aware of the power of Disney. That's why the target is Disney. This is a war, and it has already begun. As for the result, it's obvious that either I'll take Disney. Either Disney forced me to go out of business. There is no third option. ”
"Huh~~~" Crawn breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said goodbye to Zhang Fan, "Since that's the case, then I have nothing to say." Even if Pixar falls into the hands of Mr. Zhang this time, Disney is still a force that you can't shake. ”
"Really?" Zhang Fan's face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, "Then let's go and see." ”
