Chapter 191 Investment [2/4]

"Ili'an Sixteen Cinemas is built by a company called 'East Coast Entertainment', although the annual financial report of East Coast Entertainment has not been very brilliant over the years, but it is okay, there will be stable income every year, and it has been identified as a company worth investing in by the investment company of the imperial capital Xie Lisi Street, if it were not for their scale has not yet reached the standard of listing, they may have been listed on Xie Lisi Street. Albert knew that Durin was interested in these theaters and immediately collected a lot of information, not only this year, but also the previous five years.

These things may be trade secrets to some ordinary people, but for people like Albert, it only takes a small price to get their hands on this information. He is very willing to invest in this upfront, because he knows that as long as he facilitates this deal, his return will be tens of hundreds, hundreds of times or even more than what he invested.

At José's reminder, Albert turned the chair around, marveling at the luxury of the car's interior and the ingenuity with which the chair could rotate. There is a table between the front and back seats, on which he places the materials, and as a gold medal salesman he has a high level of professionalism and work ethic...... Possibly. Durin picked up each document and examined it carefully before putting it down, if you only look at the numbers on paper, East Coast Entertainment's books should be sufficient.

He thought about this question and decided to ask Albert, "If the economic situation of this company is as perfect as these statements say, why do they need financing to have the funds to renovate the theater's playback equipment? ”

Albert laughed dryly, and once again made a huge leap in his guess about Durin's worth. What is 200,000 is not a lot of money? It's as easy as the 20 yuan in his pocket is not a lot of money!

At this time, he remembered what the senior who took him on the road said to him, as long as he can hold a golden thigh in this life, he doesn't need to think about anything else. Albert's fiery gaze lingered on Durin for a moment, and then he lowered his head, becoming more humble.

"East Coast Entertainment has a total of three founders, one of whom left the company at the beginning of this year and sold his shares to the other two founders, so they said that they don't have much liquidity in their hands to renovate and upgrade the theater chain, so they plan to find another partner to solve the problem. It doesn't matter if there is one, or several, the key is the money. Albert took out another newspaper from his briefcase and placed it on the table, and half of the newspaper was devoted to gossip about the change of ownership of East Coast Entertainment, saying that it was because of an actress that caused problems in the friendship between the three good friends.

Durin just glanced at it and put it aside, he wasn't sure if it was a hoax or not, but among the scams he knew, there were some that had been laid out for more than five years, and five years of operation were only for the final blow. He believed that in the dream world, someone could turn himself into another person for 60 million, and that it would take five years, and maybe there would be someone in this world who could do these things.

Of course, this reason is reasonable, but there is also a doubt. If the purpose of buying back shares is to ensure the integrity of the company, then why sell it now? What Dühring had experienced in his dreams was much more clever and advanced than some of the things of this era, so he felt that this was a suspicious point. And as an entertainment company that is closely related to the film industry, how can it be that it only thinks of replacing and upgrading equipment until the end of the day? These are all doubts and loopholes.

The temperature inside the car was pleasant, at least five degrees cooler than the temperature outside. It's not that this car has black technology similar to air conditioning, but that there are stored ice cubes in some parts of this car to solve the problem of overheating in summer. Albert already had beads of sweat on his head, and he took a few more documents and put them on the table, all of which were about the founders of East Coast Entertainment.

Du Lin looked at it casually for a while, if the other party was a liar, these materials were absolutely perfect, and he couldn't find a trace of problems, so it was in vain. As he put down the information, he suddenly asked, "Are all three founders locals?

It was a strange question, and although Albert didn't understand why Durin was asking, he nodded anyway, "They are all well-known local people, and they all have their own families and clans, what do you mean?"

Du Lin smiled, "The complete structure of social relations represents a person's sense of responsibility to society, and a responsible person is a useful person, you may not understand what I say, but just remember." ”

Then, in silence, under the marvelous gaze of passers-by, the silver House Luwe stopped in the middle of Third Avenue in the 2nd Borough of Illion and opened the doors in front of a four-story building with an East Coast entertainment sign. The company's signboard is a bit old, it looks a bit weathered, in fact, these signs are not old, they were only made the year before, but the air on the coastline is salty, and it is a matter of course that these signs look old.

Albert took the initiative to open the door for Doolin, and the first impression of entering the company was like visiting a museum. The hall on the first floor is very empty, and the marble floor is well maintained, reflecting the shadow of the chandelier on the ceiling. Surrounded by neat display cases, reels of film are displayed, and under each reel is a small card that notes what movie is in the reel, what year it was played, who the lead and director are, and how much it has sold in East Coast Entertainment's theaters.

Seeing a customer enter the door, the reception staff at the front desk immediately greeted her, the navy blue professional coat and the delicate lady's shirt made this lady look very capable, she had long flaxen hair, when she smiled very moving, her facial features seemed to come to life. She didn't bother Durin to look at the displays at the counter, but followed them quietly until Durin withdrew his gaze from the displays.

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?", she bowed slightly, during this period of observation she felt that Durin had a strong momentum, it should be a big man, so her attitude was also very low, "You can call me Lilith, it's a pleasure to serve you." ”

Albert stepped forward and stood between Lilith and Doolin, who was his client and intended to treat Doolin as his only client, how could it be possible for a company to lower his value by the front desk of a company? As soon as she heard that she was here to invest, Lilith suddenly became more enthusiastic, and after informing the founder of the company, she led the two to the living room on the second floor and served them mellow coffee.

From the current point of view, all this seems so formal, that is, Durin himself is a little suspicious of whether he is a little too suspicious, a company can put a display case to show glory, and it is in the hall as soon as you enter, it shows that the founder of this company attaches great importance to history and honor, with such a culture and heritage, wouldn't it be a pity to be a liar? But sometimes when a person begins to doubt something, all the impossibilities become less certain.

Soon one of the founders, "Bearded Eric", appeared in the conference room, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with red plaid on a blue background, beach pants and a pair of sandals, his messy brown hair and beard mixed together and he couldn't tell who was who. He wears a pair of black-rimmed eyes, is a little fat, and does look a little artistic. He greeted him warmly and shook Doolin's hand, then invited the two to sit down, "Hello, I'm Eric, a filmmaker. He shrugged his shoulders like a mountain and shuddered, "I heard Lilith say you want to invest, right?"

Durin nodded, Albert put the prospectus on the table, and Eric flipped through the two pages, "I don't know what to call you yet...... Okay, Mr. Doolin, since you can get this prospectus, it means that you have a certain social status in Ilian. Actually, we don't want to recruit those ...... You know, not very friendly money into the company, I need to explain a few points to you in order to avoid unpleasant disagreements in the next possible cooperation. ”

He pushed his eyes, "First of all, after your investment came in, you became our partner, but the decision on how the cinema chain operates is up to me and my partner, and you only have the right to dividends." Of course, in order for both of us to have a perfect cooperation process, all the financial situation is open to you, and you can check our income and net profit at any time. ”

"The second point is that we will make additional investments next year and the year after, which may reduce your shareholding, and you can choose to invest additional funds like us, or you can choose to give up, which is your freedom. We hope you can understand the change in ownership, after all, we are not only starting our company to grow in the Ilian region, but also to expand our business elsewhere. ”

"The third point is that we are going to make a film production plan within this year, which is an additional investment, which you can put in or not, and this part of the money is not included in the financing of the company, and it does not have a stake. When it is shown in theaters, the payment will be slightly lower than that of other movies, and I hope you can understand. ”

"The main thing is that these three points are more important, and some other details are in the contract, if you are sure to invest, you can take this contract back to a professional to see, if there is no problem, we can sign it anytime and anywhere!"

"Do you have any questions?"
