?“ Huh, so you want to work with us again?". (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
"Yes," Weinstein Jr. replied from the sidelines.
After the end of the day, Weinstein Jr. complained that his brother was too greedy, and he could have had a good ending, but he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and he had nothing to say about his brother's complaints, he didn't take into account that the Chinese also have a smart and cunning side, otherwise there would not be a book like "The Art of War" that integrates superb wisdom and is world-famous.
The China that is about to enter the new century is no longer what it was a hundred years ago, and these foreigners who have not personally visited the country still have a long, long time ago understanding of the country, and they have not been able to keep pace with the times.
In the end, at the strong request of his younger brother, Big Weinstein could only put down his face, and the two brothers came to visit Ouyang Zhenhua and them, hoping to save some interests and face.
Now there is only one path in front of the two brothers, and that is to sell the company as much as possible, otherwise their losses will be greater and greater. Now the whole company knows that the company is about to change hands, from ordinary employees to senior managers, all of them have no mind to work normally, and they don't know where the road tomorrow is, who will have the "jī" love to create zào value, and because of this, the two brothers must do their best to get rid of this trouble, otherwise the company will become more and more erosive, and its reputation in the industry will become worse and worse, and at that time, it will only depreciate even more, and the loss will be unpredictable.
"Then at what price do you want to sell it to us?", Ouyang Zhenhua asked directly the key.
"According to the price you quoted at the auction the day before yesterday, 1.2 billion dollars," said Weinstein impatiently, as if they had made a big concession.
"Mr. Weinstein, I heard you right, right? How much? 1.2 billion dollars?", Ouyang Zhenhua tried his best to control his feelings, hoping that the words he said would not hurt the other party too much, but even so, his words still made people feel very contemptuous.
"Yes, $1.2 billion, all of them will be sold, and the whole company will be yours at that time", Big Weinstein has not yet figured out the situation, and still shows that he is very sincere.
"Mr. Weinstein, please go back, you better go to Sony's side to cooperate", Ouyang Zhenhua stood up and stretched out his hand to send off the guest.
"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang, why is this?", Big Weinstein couldn't think about what was wrong with him.
"We are cultivated people, we only like to cooperate with sincere people, you have no sincerity at all, you are purely going to 'mén' to trick us, so do you think there is still a possibility of cooperation?", Ouyang Zhenhua asked with a straight face.
"Mr. Ouyang, we are very sincere, how can we say that we are not sincere? Otherwise, we will not take the initiative to board 'mén'", little Weinstein unnaturally pushed his brother away and went into battle himself, he felt that his brother would only make things worse.
"That's what you said, but the price you quoted has already shown that you are insincere", Ouyang Zhenhua's face soothed a little.
"But didn't you quote that price the day before yesterday?", Weinstein Jr. asked rhetorically.
"I would like to ask, in the eyes of American law, how will things be judged if you do something without paying attention to 'xìng', such as testifying in court while drunk, or committing a crime when you are under the **", Ouyang Zhenhua cited legal examples to illustrate and highlight his own ideas.
"Of course, it is to exempt or reduce the punishment", the big Weinstein thought he was very smart, and rushed back to Ouyang Zhenhua's words.
"That's it, isn't it very clear, how was the price quoted yesterday?You should know very well, in that kind of irrational 'xìng' situation, can the quotation made count?", Ouyang Zhenhua wanted that answer, directly attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son.
Ouyang Zhenhua's words made the brothers speechless, but Chen Kangjie sat next to him and laughed secretly, which has proved his judgment, there is really something between the brothers and the little devil.
"In the past, we are sorry, we are really sorry, you want to buy, we want to sell, we hope that through Guò's honest attitude, we can achieve a win-win situation between us", after a while, Weinstein Jr. looked at Ouyang Zhenhua in front of him and said in a deep voice.
After hesitating again and again, the Weinstein brothers knew that these Orientals in front of them were extremely difficult to deal with, and if they were so vain and hiding, it would be impossible for them to achieve anything, and in the end, the two brothers suffered the most.
"Okay, that's pretty much it, please take a seat, Mary, please serve tea to the two gentlemen", Ouyang Zhenhua beckoned the Weinstein brothers, who stood up with him, to sit down again, and instructed Mary, the servant who was standing aside.
From the time they entered "mén" to the present, the two brothers have not even received a sip of water, which is not because Chen Kangjie has a bad record of "xìng" or has no courtesy, but completely deliberately aimed at his brothers like that, and the purpose is to show their dissatisfaction.
Mary was instructed to provide each of the brothers with a cup of Ceylon black tea, and the brothers politely thanked Mary again and again, and lowered their attitude.
"Now let's have something formal and talk about your actual reserve price!", Ouyang Zhenhua took a sip of the tea in front of him and said easily.
"Then we can't hide it, our assets are indeed worth a billion dollars, which includes our intangible assets and the early investment in employee training, in order to build our distribution channels, it costs a lot", Weinstein Jr. glanced at his brother, to tell the truth, his words were indeed not mixed with any water.
"I don't think it's worth so much, right? Mr. Fan, tell Mr. Sù Weinstein about your assessment", Ouyang Zhenhua still didn't seem satisfied with the price, and moved Fan Wenxuan out to endorse him.
"Mr. Weinstein, your reputation has always been good in the past, but after the day before yesterday, needless to say, your reputation in the industry is not so good, coupled with the current staff floating, we estimate that there will be at least 50 million US dollars shrinking, as for the film distribution channels you mentioned, it has not yet reached the full coverage of North America, many places have to rely on other companies to cooperate, you are not so serious about the transfer of enterprises, then I think when we communicate with other distribution channel providers in the future, others will also maintain a skeptical attitude, in order to stabilize and expand the distribution channels, we will at least invest 50 million US dollars worth of manpower and material resourcesThe American society is a society that attaches great importance to personal credibility and corporate credibility, and you know and feel this better than us, so in fact, your current value is only 900 million US dollars," Fan Wenxuan said with a sense of concern.
For this kind of assessment, it is completely self-talking, and everyone is just looking for an excuse to lower the price.
"Two gentlemen, you have heard, your business has begun to shrink now, if you continue to maintain the attitude of the game, then after a while, when your employees start to change jobs, I am afraid that it will not even be worth it, maybe it will soon become 500 million US dollars", Ouyang Zhenhua said with added vinegar.
Whether it is Fan Wenxuan's words or Ouyang Zhenhua's words, they all make the brothers dissatisfied, which is obviously an exaggeration, but the shape is stronger than people, and they can't find a replacement company that is interested in them and can afford the price, although Ouyang Zhenhua is exaggerating, but the brothers also know that if it drags on for another month, it will definitely take a sharp turn.
"Well, if you're telling the truth, what is your reserve price?" Just say cash," the Weinstein brothers not only didn't get angry, but little Wayans asked on behalf of the two.
"A fixed price, $880 million in cash, can be regarded as making up for our little loss", Ouyang Zhenhua stretched out his hand to finalize a price.
"880 million US dollars? Mr. Ouyang, don't you think it's less? It's more than 300 million lower than the day before yesterday." Listening to Ouyang Zhenhua's offer, Big Weinstein was a little moved.
"At this time and at that time, according to philosophical materialism, everything in the world is in constant change", Ouyang Zhenhua spread his hands, which means that love to sell is not to sell, not to sell and pull down.
"Mr. Ouyang, we need to go back and discuss it, and I'll reply to you later, okay?" The Weinstein brothers didn't express their anger and didn't make a decision on the spot, they wanted to fight for room for maneuver.
"Of course you can, the initiative is still in your hands", Ouyang Zhenhua said with a smile.
The Weinstein brothers returned to the company with mixed feelings, just in time to meet Jon Gordon and Scott who were looking for their brothers, and the two brothers invited them to the office, and when they asked, the brothers were taken aback, and the two men were going to resign.
If the backbone of the two companies leaves, there will be a chain reaction immediately, and they are usually doing the daily management of the company, and as soon as the two leave, it will be like dominoes being overturned, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"You've found a new place to go?", Big Weinstein asked the two of them.
"Yes, there is a company willing to hire us for a million dollars a year, and at the moment the fate of Miramax is unpredictable, and we have to think about ourselves, sorry, Mr. Weinstein", Scott replied.
"Gordon, what about you?", Weinstein asked Jon Gordon again.
"It's the same," Jon Gordon replied in just three words.
"Okay, okay, a million dollars a year, congratulations, we only offered you an annual salary of $700,000, and now someone has given you a fifty percent increase, you make such a choice, I understand, but before you leave, can you tell me which company you went to?", Weinstein was in a very low mood, and every word he said was accompanied by a chair.
The resignation of Jon Gordon and Scott will be the straw that will break the camel's back, and this moment came much earlier than the Weinstein brothers expected, and they thought it would be a month, but they didn't expect it to erupt in just two days.
