It is a well-recognized truth of the American people that a company can achieve extraordinary growth and must have a core person of genius.

Just like the relationship between Steve Jobs and Apple, and Bill and Microsoft, the former went into decline within two years because they took away their souls; The latter, because Bill has always been there, has become the world's most valuable technology company in more than 20 years.

China Ming's importance to the light and shadow company, like those two geniuses, left his 'vision' and 'talent', and the light and shadow company is not worth 40 billion US dollars at all. This truth is known not only to Sun Ziming himself, but also to Kirk Kercorion, so as soon as Robert was turned away, Kirk and their team found that Sun Ziming's phone could not be reached after some discussion, so they hurriedly called Kayo Sato.

"Boss, Mr. Kirk wants to see you, he probably wants to talk about a controlling stake."

Sun Ziming, who had just returned home from Anne Hathaway, listened to Yoshiyo Sato's report, waved his hand and said, "Leave him alone, let Jill and Chris come to me." ”

"yes/boss", Kayo Sato hurriedly called and invited a cadre of the company's backbone. In fact, she didn't need to say it carefully, Chris, who heard that the company's controlling stake had changed hands, was already crazy, but Sun Ziming's phone couldn't get through, so he didn't come to the house to look for him.

Now as soon as they heard that the boss was back, the gang immediately came out from all corners of Los Angeles and rushed to Sun Ziming's house. As soon as the gang entered, they opened fire on Jill who arrived first, blaming her for selling too much of the Foundation's stock and causing Sun Ziming to lose his controlling stake.

"Don't talk nonsense, Jill cashed out on my orders."

Sun Ziming's explanation was useless, and the guys still blamed Jill in the same way, "Shit! She usually dares to quarrel with you, why can't she stand it when it is critical?" She just saw the stock appreciate and wanted the foundation to cash out. If Peng was still in the company, he would never make such a mistake! ”

This hat is hard for Gil to argue, but Sun Ziming's help makes her feel a little more comfortable. She did calculate carefully, as long as the foundation holds 10% of the shares, plus everyone's shares and the shares of the theater chain, it is impossible for others to obtain a controlling stake.

A film company's price-earnings ratio has reached 50 times, and if you don't cash out, you still hold it in your hands, and wait for dividends every year? However, it happened like this, and even if Jill wanted to defend himself, he couldn't find an excuse but to let these guys blame.

"Alright, okay, stop! Let's discuss how to control the company in our own hands. Damn, I don't trust those Wall Street bastards! ”

Sun Tzu made a big face, even James and Lucas, who had a bad temper, shut up, everyone can quarrel at ordinary times, and we must be united at this critical time.

Since its establishment, the light and shadow company has claimed that it belongs to the filmmaker's own company, and it has always done so, unlike other companies, which only take care of the interests of major shareholders. James Cameron filmed the masterpiece "Titanic", if it was placed in other companies, it would be good to get tens of millions. But in the light and shadow company, even if his ex-wife was 'difficult' everywhere, he also took more than 300 million dividends, and now he has a steady stream of follow-up income, which is the best example. Hmph, if the company is controlled by those greedy financiers, how will everyone play without distribution channels in the future?

"Ming, we must unite, what are you going to do?"

The first person to come out and express his stance was not Chris, but Lucas, a big oppositionist, which made everyone a little stunned.

"Don't look at me like that, the company must be our own company, and I will be on your side. If I hadn't been dissatisfied with the distribution of Fox's profits, I wouldn't have set up my own film company in the first place. Don't look at the fact that I opened my own film company, and the distribution fee I have to pay to Fox every year is hundreds of millions of dollars! ”

That's right, this old guy made hundreds of millions for Fox when he filmed "Star Wars: A New Hope", but he only got a million dollars. Although in 1977, one million was already an astronomical amount, but it was negligible relative to his contribution, which led to Lucasfilm. By the way, James also had such an experience, "The Terminator" made Jill a rich man, and only then did the two husbands and wives of "The Abyss" produce independently, although they lost a lot of money, but they also wanted to take the road of independent distribution.

Everyone also nodded, there is no distribution channel, they will be controlled by others, and the three major theater chains will not casually let a small film company enter their theaters. It's not that you don't know that the cinema chain and several giant companies, including their own companies, are cross-shareholding!

Sun Ziming looked at Lucas strangely, it seems that Jill does have a way of doing things, and even the person he thinks is most likely to be unstable has been messed up.

However, paper can't contain the fire, and Sun Ziming will not hide it from these people at a critical time, "Ok, we want to be united, but the other party may propose a very promising project." ”

Sun Ziming called the news that Yoshiyo Sato heard, as well as Douglas's speculation, combined with his own judgment, explained it one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand?" As long as they control the light and shadow, plus MGM in their hands, plus my influential Universal, they can convince Fox and Paramount to finally occupy this new market, which is why they want to control our company! ”

Everyone took a breath of cool air, if this happens, the VCD sales and leasing market can withdraw from the stage of history. Don't look at this market, it can bring huge profits to the company, but nearly half of the profits are taken by those lessors and retailers.

God, who was so genius as to come up with such an idea?

"Cut, isn't it just a copy of the online music store that Boss and Apple Jobs are tinkering with?"

"No, it looks like AOL's is doing that."

"So, everyone won't go to the cinema in the future?"

"No, which company will put it on the Internet before it is released in theaters?"

After everyone discussed, Sun Ziming poured cold water and said: "No, it's not as easy as you think, VCD completely replaced the VCR for three years, and it may not be enough for ten years to watch movies, ball games, and entertainment programs online." Hmph, even if technology develops in the future, it is convenient to watch movies and programs on the Internet, but how can a small computer screen be comfortable to watch on a TV? And, is the internet speed up to their needs now? Jill experimented and downloaded Jurassic Park 1, which cost her sixteen hours and $11 on the internet!

Audiences don't have a shortage of ten dollars to go to the movie theater, nor do they lack fifteen dollars to buy a VCD disc collection, they want the enjoyment of watching a movie, not staring at the computer uncomfortably. ”

Lucas used to be a boss, and he knew the laws of the market better than these people who only knew how to make movies, and immediately came to his senses, "Ming, you mean, this plan is a chicken rib?" ”

Nor can it be said that this plan depicts the future, not the present. Lucas, you've run a film company before, what do you do if a project doesn't make a profit and you can't raise more money? ”

Sun Tzu's question stirred up everyone's sensitive nerve -- the redistribution of interests. In terms of a company like Light and Shadow, which has no benefits and only bonuses, the first people to be sacrificed are those ordinary employees, and then everyone is the director. Don't look at everyone as a shareholder of the company, but there are too many ways for major shareholders with decision-making power to infringe on the interests of minority shareholders.

There is an element of provocation in these words, but when they come out of Sun Ziming's mouth, they convince everyone. A person who can donate 30 billion fortunes, almost no one will suspect that he has bad motives, and this is the benefit of a good name.

Lucas, who used to be a big boss, knows the importance of internal unity, and after Sun Ziming finished speaking, he began to add: "I guess their first step is to remove Jill from his position so that they can control the finances." The second step is to use the proposal in the name of the company to convince other companies to join them. The third step is to take the plan and the company's shares to raise funds.

Hmph, if it succeeds, they will make a fortune; Fail, the loss is the investor's money, they have 10,000 ways to get their money back! ”

Whether this old man is persuaded by Jill or unintentionally cooperated out of his own interests, he confirmed Sun Ziming's hint that Robert's gang of bastards is using power for personal gain. If it succeeds, it doesn't do much good to everyone, because everyone is a minority shareholder; If it fails, the company becomes an asset to the banker, and it is no longer everyone's company.
