The acquisition of a film company is really not as simple as imagined.

It's not that Meng Fei thinks that the dry stocks controlled by some official figures are not easy to get, on the contrary, with Qiao Lang and Lu Fang coming forward, this kind of dry stocks are extremely easy to get, and the cost is very small.

After investigation, most of the current entertainment companies in Beijing belong to newly established companies, and many companies belong to outsourcing companies, to put it bluntly, they work for state-owned films and television, and the company's leaders use public relations means such as eating, drinking, and having fun, and contract a part of the content from these state-owned departments to maintain the company's basic expenses.

Such a company, Meng Fei is not interested in it at all!

Without a correct development direction and goals, without a long-term specific plan, don't look at these companies are mixing very well now, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by the times.

Even if it is acquired, it is necessary to break the layout plan of the original company, which is better than directly establishing a new company, and there is no need to acquire it at all.

In the end, there were only three companies that were approved by Meng Fei - Forbidden City Film Company, Huayi Brothers Film Company and New Picture Film Company.

Among them, the Forbidden City Film Company has the best development prospects, but unfortunately, this is a joint venture company by a number of state-owned enterprises such as Beijing Television Station, Beijing Television Art Center, and Beijing Film Company.

Even if there is a relationship between Qiao Lang, Lu Fang and others, it is impossible for Meng Fei to acquire a state-owned enterprise that is profitable and has great development prospects.

As for the new picture film company, Meng Fei is more familiar, founded last year, it is a company co-founded by the local tyrant Zhang Weiping and the director Lao Mouzi, but there are very few departments under it, and the contracted actors, screenwriters, and directors are almost zero, which is completely tailored for Lao Mouzi alone.

Such a film company, not to mention the empty shell, is almost the same, without the old master, it will basically be abolished, and it is reasonable to be vetoed by Meng Fei.

In the end, there was only one choice left in front of Meng Fei's eyes - Beijing Huayi Brothers Film Co., Ltd.

The name of the Huayi brothers is definitely like thunder, and Meng Fei is very familiar with it.

In the next few years, Huayi Brothers will continue to shoot director Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year films, and they will become famous for a while, becoming the largest private film company in China, and even faintly controlling the Chinese entertainment industry.

Not only that, the two founders of Huayi, the Wang brothers, determined a very correct operation route at the beginning of the business in 94 years, and did not want to make small profits in front of them, and it took a few years to build the company quite perfectly.

It not only has a film production department and a film investment department, but also a non-administrative professional department such as an artist department, a TV drama production department, and an advertising department.

It can be said that in today's China, in addition to state-owned enterprises, only Huayi Brothers, an entertainment company, has such a complete set of departments.

Without a doubt, this is an excellent choice for the Monfy acquisition!

However, the takeover negotiations were not smooth.

Huayi Brothers' shares are about 40% owned by the Wang brothers, 30% by angel investment and venture capital companies, 10% by individual investments, and 20% by the official sons.

It is too easy for Brother Gongzi to occupy 20% of the dry shares, Lu Fang came forward to say hello, and Meng Fei can take one or two million.

It is not difficult to obtain 10% of the shares invested by individuals, after all, the individuals involved in the investment are the rich people in the capital, they want to continue to do business in the capital, and the face of the son must be given, and this part of the purchase price can be controlled below five million.

Angel investment and venture capital companies are also relatively simple, people engage in investment, originally to make money, according to the current Huayi Brothers estimated market value of 50 million, 30% of the shares are equivalent to 15 million, and a little premium, 20 million yuan can be completely won.

The most difficult thing is the founder of the company, the Wang brothers!

In fact, after Meng Fei acquired the 60% shares, he could already control the company, but he was not satisfied, he wanted to control all of them, and he wanted to operate as a sole proprietorship!

However, there was a great controversy over the acquisition of the 40% shares of the Wang brothers.

It's not that the two of them don't want to sell the shares, after all, if Meng Fei really completes the 60% share acquisition, then the two brothers will only obediently eat dividends, and the management of the company has nothing to do with them.

But after all, the Huayi brothers are the hard work of the two brothers who have been starting a business for so many years, and handing it over to others like this is undoubtedly cutting their flesh. So in terms of charging a price, they offered a sky-high price.

40% of the shares, the Wang brothers opened their mouths, asking for 80 million!

You must know that according to the estimation of banks and asset appraisal firms, the value of Huayi Brothers' entire company does not exceed 50 million, and the Wang brothers shouted a sky-high price of 80 million in order to have only 40% of the shares on hand, which is simply playing Meng Fei as a Kaizi.

In the first round of negotiations, Meng Fei went to the meeting alone, explained the powerful relationship with reason, and expressed his willingness to bid 30 million yuan for the acquisition.

You must know that this is already a premium of 50%, and Meng Fei showed great sincerity, but the Wang brothers did not give face at all, and they did not let go of their mouths after biting 80 million.

The first negotiation broke up unhappily.

Two days later, the third brother Lu Fang took a director of radio and television and accompanied Meng Fei to the negotiation table.

This negotiation is not only as simple as knowing reason and moving with affection, a son-in-law like Lu Fang is quite tough, his face was gloomy from the beginning of the negotiation, and he spoke loudly, without taking the Wang brothers in his eyes at all.

On the ground of the capital, Lu Fang really hasn't encountered anything that can't be done!

But the result made Lu Fang and the director stupid, Meng Fei had raised the price to 35 million, which was coercion and temptation, but he didn't think that the Wang brothers were unmoved, and they still closed their mouths to 80 million.

This almost blew up Lu Fang, and as soon as he slapped the table, he wanted to call someone to clean up the Wang brothers.

The Wang brothers are all high-achieving students who graduated from prestigious universities in the United States, and they are accustomed to the freedom of the United States.

In the end, Meng Fei pulled Lu Fang out of the negotiation table, and the second negotiation broke down again!

"Old Five, what are you pulling me for, these two little bastards, it's just shameless, they should all enter the game!" Lu Fang scolded, blushing, and angry.

Meng Fei shook his head and sighed.

It's not that Meng Fei is afraid of getting into trouble, it's really that the matter of Huayi Brothers changing the boss has been all over the city, if the employees and artists know that the new boss invited the old boss to prison in order to forcibly buy, what would everyone think?

Of course, he will be afraid of Meng Fei, but he is more worried and hostile, right?

After all, the Wang brothers are the founders, most of the people in the company have a good relationship with them, and everyone is a business partner, how can Meng Fei be so arrogant? Centrifugal and detached, the company will never run too well.

Meng Fei now has a total of more than 100 million funds on hand, which is enough to acquire all the shares, but the company still needs to develop, and without liquidity, what money will the company take to shoot movies and TV series?

Therefore, Meng Fei will never agree to the conditions offered by the Wang brothers, and now the negotiations are deadlocked, it seems that the only way to calm down, communicate more, communicate more, and slowly negotiate peace, it is estimated that it will not be possible to return to Huicheng in a short time.

But that afternoon, Meng Fei received a phone call that changed his mind.

"Hey, is it Feige?" The other party's voice was very small, as if he was secretly on the phone.

Meng Fei asked, "Who is this young lady?" ”

"Brother Fei, I'm Ah Fang, a nurse from the People's Liberation Army Hospital in the provincial capital." Ah Fang said softly.

Meng Fei patted his brain and suddenly remembered.

When he was in the People's Liberation Army Hospital, Meng Fei saw Boba Liuyan, but the other party frowned coldly, which made Meng Fei very unhappy, so he left a phone number for the little nurse and gave her some money to help monitor Liu Yan.

"It's Ah Fang, what's the matter, could it be that Liu Yan has a boyfriend?" Meng Fei's face was a little ugly, the negotiation failed in the morning, and if he got the news of Liu Yan's boyfriend again in the afternoon, it was estimated that he would be mad.

Fortunately, Ah Fang gave Meng Fei a reassurance: "No, Liu Yan is still the same as before, and she is lukewarm to those men who send flowers." ”

"What's that?" Meng Fei's face looked good.

Ah Fang whispered: "The city TV station is going to hold a 'Beauty in the Flower City' talent competition next year, and now the registration has begun, Liu Yan said that she wants to participate." ”

Meng Fei's blood surged to his head, and he said excitedly: "Are you sure?" ”

Ah Fang said: "Sure, this is what Liu Yan told everyone personally, and we also encouraged her, saying that she can be a star." ”

"Okay, thank you Ah Fang."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Fei couldn't hide his excitement and waved his fist.

This little girl, it seems that she really can't hold back, she is going to start entering the entertainment industry!

In fact, Meng Fei's guess was not wrong at all.

Liu Yan played well in this draft competition in 1999, was selected by the city TV station as the host, and became famous, and later participated in the "Cat Man Super Charm Host Show" held by Guangxian Media, and officially became a signed artist of Guangxian Media, and since then has embarked on the road of film, sound, and hosting development.

Now, since Meng Fei has taken a fancy to Liu Yan, he will definitely not let her go!

Don't you want to get into the entertainment industry? Okay, don't be so troublesome to be the host of a small TV station first, Huayi Brothers will sign you directly!

Hehe, when the time comes, under my hands, don't you have to be obedient to let me fiddle?

As soon as he thought of this, Meng Fei was a little excited, and felt that the acquisition of shares was too imminent.

The 40% equity fall, although it does not affect Meng Fei's control of the company, but don't forget that the Wang brothers are the founders, and they have a good relationship with the old people of the company, even if they have no real power, occupying a shareholder seat is enough to affect the company's decision-making and operation.

Especially some of Meng Fei's fancy thoughts, if they were discovered by this Wang brother, it would be very bad.

No, you have to do your best to get the 40% of the shares!

Day after tomorrow...... No, tomorrow!

Tomorrow we have to start a third round of negotiations, and this time, we must only succeed, not fail!

Take Huayi, just tomorrow!
