Chapter Seventy-Six: Acquisition Reached
But Ning Hao is not a normal person, he still hopes to acquire a film and television company with a distribution system, because he is confident that "Those Years" can make money, so why should he go through another effort to entangle with the distribution company, persuade them to help with distribution, and rack his brains to negotiate a sharing method?
Ning Hao chose for a while and valued an Oriental Union Film and Television Co., Ltd., which was also established in 2001, has no debt, has produced several small-budget movies before, and has its own distribution system, of course, these movies are all on the street without exception. As a result, the company was largely unprofitable for three years.
Originally, Oriental Union Film and Television relied on these small movies, although it was not very profitable, but at least it could barely maintain the operation of the company, but this year, the company produced a costume movie "Thirteen Taibao", which had high hopes for the senior management of the film company, but who knew that after the test screening in 20 theaters in the first week, it only received 50,000 box office, and the attendance rate was even more miserable, and it was directly forced off the shelves by the theater in the second week. Because of this movie, the company suffered heavy losses, and the general manager of OUCC, Ms. Fang Qiao, was immediately disheartened and had the idea of selling the company.
The financial situation of OUCC is still very healthy, and it has sufficient production experience, as well as the ability to distribute DVDs and contact theaters and talent reserves......
Ning Hao was a little moved, and recalled "Thirteen Taibao" in his mind, without any images, it seemed that he was really just one of the countless bad movies. As for the Oriental Union Cinema, in Ning Hao's images, there is no such No. 1 company in the future, so it can be seen that even if he does not acquire it, this company will be like those short-lived small companies.
Ning Hao roughly determined that Oriental Union Film and Television would let Qin Bo negotiate on his behalf, after all, he didn't know anything about acquiring companies except for making movies.
After having Uncle Qin, Ning Hao invited Uncle Li to take charge of the legal aspect, the financial accounting of the original company and hired an asset appraiser.
After completing the acquisition of the team, Ning Hao contacted Oriental Union Film and Television Company, and their general manager did have the idea of selling the company.
Fang Qiao is a fair-skinned and beautiful strong woman, except for a little plump, the whole person can't see that she is in her forties at all, with a comfortable perfume smell, elegant etiquette, and exquisite makeup, she is worthy of being a successful woman, and her charm aura is not comparable to that of a young girl.
It's just that Fang Qiao is a little haggard now, she started as a seedling and made a lot of money before, and a few years ago, she set up this film and television company with great expectations and began to invest in the film culture industry, but the result was tepid, and recently the box office fiasco of "Thirteen Taibao", which invested three million, caused the company to be a little unsustainable all of a sudden, she is no longer young, and the flame in her heart has begun to extinguish, she is tired.
So as long as the bid is right, she is willing to sell all the shares in her hand, and there are some small shareholders, if Ning Hao wants to buy them all, she can also help coordinate them.
After the initial intention was reached, OUCC Film and Television submitted the company's financial statements, the company's income and expenditure, bond assets and other mirrors to Ning Hao. And Ning Hao's acquisition team will conduct a professional evaluation of this.
There are many of the company's assets, such as the company's office desks and chairs, decorative furnishings, and some camera equipment, of course, there is no large camera in it, after all, this kind of expensive equipment, OUCC such a small company is choosing the form of leasing. Of course, in addition to these, there are also some movie rights, DVD rights, and some existing businesses.
The appraiser's final assessment of Oriental Union Film and Television is about 4 million, although this company is only able to maintain every year, but it is still a relatively high-quality company, and there is no debt. However, due to the loss of the "Thirteenth Taibao" this year, the company may be in debt, and if there is no new capital to enter, it is likely to go bankrupt.
According to the appraiser's report, after Ning Hao discussed with the acquisition team, he put forward the first offer, 2 million, a wholly-owned acquisition, this offer is not low, nor is it high, after all, the loss of OUCC in the film this year is about more than one million, so that the market value of the entire company is less than three million. Oriental Union Union gave an offer of 3.5 million.
Doing business is to ask for a sky-high price, sit on the ground and pay back, and then the two parties will enter the negotiation stage.
"Ms. Fang Qiao, do you think we are laymen? Don't know anything about the film industry? Outrageous, 3.5 million? Qin Bo looked at Fang Qiao with some dissatisfaction, took a sip of tea viciously, and then said to the elegant lady in front of him, "If we can buy a better company for 3.5 million, and do you think the film and television copyrights that your company has now are really worth so much?" ”
Fang Qiao, who was dressed in a white shirt, pursed his lips and squeezed his fists, but finally lowered his straight spine slightly and did not speak.
Qin Bo crossed his hands in front of him, looked directly at Fang Qiao, and said in a sincere tone: "Ms. Fang Qiao, you know, there are really too many domestic film and television companies now, and I won't tell you, we have simply searched before, and there are no less than fifty companies in the Yangtze River Delta region that are about to go bankrupt, so we have no shortage of choices." But to be honest, we have high requirements for the acquired company, and you are indeed relatively high-quality, so we also hope that the two sides can reach cooperation, and the plan we put forward is very sincere. Moreover, we don't need your film rights at all, you know that our boss is not short of ideas and ideas, we just need your experience. ”
Qin Bo looked at Fang Qiao, and finally said, "2.5 million, this is the biggest concession of our boss." ”
Fang Qiao's delicate face frowned, and he was still a little struggling: "Then I'll think about it again." ”
Qin Bo nodded slightly, and then gave Ning Hao on the side a look, eight or nine is not far from ten!
Ning Hao smiled slightly, and silently gave this old fox a thumbs up in his heart, which was worthy of being an old fritter in the shopping mall for many years. With his qualifications and aura, he was not in a hurry or impatient during the negotiation, and it was obvious that he controlled the rhythm of the entire negotiation, and completely mastered the seven inches of Fang Qiao.
In the end, after Fang Cun went back, he pretended to think about it again, and carried out several small tug-of-wars, and the final offer was set at 2.65 million, and Ning Hao wholly acquired Oriental Union Film and Television and obtained 100% equity.
In the office of Oriental Union Film and Television, all the employees are a little worried at the moment, and even a little panicked, and they have no heart to devote themselves to their work at all. These employees, from time to time, looked at the conference room and discussed: "It is said that the new boss will be the young director of "Crazy Stone". ”
"Really, isn't that an eighteen-year-old kid? Can he really control a company? ”
"Hopefully I can keep this job, it is very likely that there will be large-scale layoffs if I am generally acquired......"
