Chapter 361. 【The Walking Dead】

In Dream Entertainment, Yi Feiyang carefully reviewed the draft acquisition contract submitted by AMC, then put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, leaned back in the boss's chair, and asked his personal lawyer, Luis Carr, "Do you think I look like a fool?" ”

"Ah, what?" Carl was stunned.

"This contract, the purchase price of 90 million, and the debt of more than 100 million US dollars to be repaid!"

"Well, yes, if it is really calculated according to the draft provided by the other party, we will really suffer!" Carl is quite honest. Originally, the company with an estimated value of only 60 or 70 million yuan in the market was speculated by the other party for 90 million, which was increased by more than half at once, and the waste company was sold as a treasure.

"Hehe, it looks like that Mr. William really thinks I'm wronged!" Yi Feiyang smiled.

"So what do we do?" Luiskal has been following Yi Feiyang for a long time, and of course he understands that he is not wronged, on the contrary, it is precisely a fox, a very cunning fox.

"What how? There wasn't much time, of course to accept their terms......"

Yi Feiyang's answer was very surprising.

Louis Callen paused for a moment, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

"Yes, do you have a better choice?" Yi Feiyang looked at him.

"This ...... I didn't. Luiscar said hesitantly. Now the news that Dream Entertainment is going to acquire AMC has spread, and if the acquisition fails, it will become a joke beyond its means.

"So go for it, but before you do it, you'd better ask what the employees of that company think?"

"Ahh What? ”

"Huh. Isn't the United States very concerned about the interests of workers? And there are very powerful unions...... Well. If all of a sudden, the TV station employees are all in a rage, guess what, dear Carl, will happen to the TV bigwigs? The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled slightly, revealing a strange smile.

……

Empire Commercial Building, New York, AMC Corporate Headquarters.

At the moment, the employees of the TV station are sitting lazily in their chairs, and everyone's eyes are a little worried. From time to time, glancing at the closed door of the conference room over there, they discussed in a suppressed voice:

"Hey man, did you say our company was really acquired?"

"Of course, didn't you see that damn William Som in days!"

"Oh my God, we've got a new boss - I heard he's the legend!"

"Amazing Young, son of God, the new rising tycoon in the film industry!"

"I don't know if he knows how to run a TV station?"

"You might as well worry about this, if we're going to get fired?"

"Dismissal? How can it be? We're Guild Protected! ”

"Ha, what kind of union are you talking about at this time, and people say they don't want you if they don't want you. What about your lawsuit, your arms can't twist your thighs! ”

"Oh my God. It would be terrible if that were the case! ”

……

The TV station employees were discussing the future of the TV station in panic, when someone suddenly stood up and said, "No, guys, we can't just sit back!" Yes, we are going to resist, we are going to fight! We want to fight for our rights through mass marches! ”

Americans are like this, they like to hold demonstrations, fight for democracy, and fight for rights and interests. These words were like a boulder, and the entire lake was immediately disrupted. Immediately after that, someone stood up and yelled: "That's right, the new president will definitely fire us as soon as he takes office!" Because as things stand, only through layoffs can this TV station come back to life! We've got to be the first to take up arms and fight this damn takeover! ”

"Fight! Fight! We have to fight! ”

Everyone shouted, each with an expression of anger and sadness on their faces, and they began to act, began to write banners, wrote slogans, began to call their colleagues and partners, and a great storm was coming.

……

At this moment, in the AMC conference room, Yi Feiyang and his acquisition team are negotiating the final acquisition agreement with William Somm and others.

William Som and the others were so happy and happy to be able to throw out such a garbage and oil bottle, but these bastards were sighing on the surface, looking like dead mothers.

"It's really reluctant, this is the same company as our children!" William Som made a look of tears on the verge of tears, "If you can, I hope you can add some more money, yes, maybe we'll consider selling!" ”

"According to your request, 90 million US dollars, at this price, love to sell or not!" Yi Feiyang despised the artificiality of their acting skills.

"Okay then, you win, Mr. Yi, we have to endure the pain of love!" William Som was afraid that things would change, so he signed the contract as quickly as possible. You must know that this TV station is estimated to be only 60 or 70 million US dollars in the market, and it is not easy to encounter such a big wrongdoer, of course, it must be caught.

Seeing these guys with poor acting skills sign one by one, Yi Feiyang scolded secretly, a group of fools.

As Yi Feiyang's chief lawyer, Louis Carr, after carefully reviewing the signed contract, nodded at Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang immediately picked up the pen and was just about to sign his name on the contract.

Just as he was about to put pen to paper, suddenly, with a bang, the door to the conference room was opened.

"Oh no, boss! People in the company...... It's rioting! One of William Somme's men said in a panic.

"What? Damn it! How can they do this! These lawless guys! William Som said furiously. Seeing that he was about to get the money, these bitches came to ask for trouble, isn't this slapping himself in the face in front of outsiders.

"Who is leading the trouble? Expelle them, immediately! Right away! "William Som gave orders, and he was always unrelenting in dealing with the people of these companies.

……

A long time has passed, and the matter has not been resolved.

The employees also blocked outside the conference room in protest, and the noise grew louder.

William Some, the boss of the company, took the lead and became restless. The guys next to him complained to him, "How did you do that?" William. Look at it, what did you make of the TV station? God, no wonder you failed so much after taking over the TV station, it's simply a lack of discipline! ”

"Yes, where are the employees, it's just a gang of robbers, it's bandits!"

"We're going to get out of here, out of this damn place!"

……

Look at these wretched directors who only think about themselves. William Som is also very disdainful in his heart, you were so simple when you abandoned AMC before, but now you are blocked by AMC employees, and you still want me to carry the blame...... I'll die to your grandmother!

But thinking so, William Som himself didn't dare to go out, and if he went out now, he would definitely tear those angry employees apart...... When the management of who is not afraid of such a boiling thing of popular resentment.

From beginning to end, Yi Feiyang, who was calm and relaxed, finally put down the leg of Erlang who was knocking, then stood up with a smile and said to William Som and the others: "It seems that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today." It's not a good day...... Are these all your TV station employees? It's pretty united! ”

"No, no, dear Mr. Yi. These people are not aimed at you, we have not done our job well, you must not terminate the contract! At this moment, what these directors and bigwigs are most afraid of is that Yi Feiyang will shake off his hand and terminate the contract, and the banknotes in his hands will fly again.

"Termination? Oh no, not for the time being, but it depends on whether this incident can be resolved smoothly......" Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "After all, I'm not a fool, but I don't want to bear such a big burden!" ”

"Alright, let's stop being verbose! Things still need to be solved in the end, don't they? Yi Feiyang took the lead and walked out after speaking.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a few seconds, only William Som hesitated for a moment to follow, and the directors of the Rainbow Group were still a little uneasy, so they only dared to follow from a distance.

……

At this time, at the door of the conference room, more than a dozen security guards of the company were nervously pinching the batons behind their backs, while more than 200 people looked at this side in black pressure, facing each other at a distance of nearly 10 meters in between, and the atmosphere was solemn and scary.

At this time, I only saw Yi Feiyang walking out of the door calmly and slowly, passing past the security guards, and walking slowly and calmly in front of the group of angry protesting employees, looking around at the faces of each of them.

Then he looked down at the words on the cards in their hands.

Those protesting employees had obviously seen this serious Chinese on TV, knowing that he was the new boss of their TV station, all of them looked angry or nervous, and they didn't expect to see me, Yi Feiyang was even more upright and handsome than they imagined......

Although Yi Feiyang is not very burly compared to many tall Americans, what makes it strange is that this person seems to have a strange temperament, you will not feel that he is weak at all, but seems to be very imposing, and he seems to be not afraid of his two hundred or so people at all......

"Guys, what's the matter, I have to solve it this way." Yi Feiyang looked around at these troublesome employees and asked in a deep voice.

In fact, this scene is really funny, a young man in his twenties actually asked a group of people in their thirties and forties in an extremely dignified tone... But no one at the scene felt that there was anything unreasonable, although Yi Feiyang was young, he had filmed so many movies, commanded so many people, and was a great man who created fantasy entertainment single-handedly, and there were countless generals under him, and he already had that kind of leader's style between his gestures, which naturally gave people a feeling that he was very coaxing......

Silence, the whole scene became very silent.

In the face of Yi Feiyang's question, no one dared to say a word.

Yi Feiyang's gaze swept over everyone coldly again, and then he raised a finger and said: "First, I don't know why you are making trouble, but I will guarantee that if this acquisition is successful, as long as you work hard in the future and assist me in doing a good job in the TV station, I will not fire anyone!" ”

This sentence is like a reassuring pill, and it immediately stabilized those troublemakers.

"Second, I will pay you a lot of the salary owed by the company, and promise that as soon as the TV station improves, there will be dividends immediately!"

"The third and most important point," Yi Feiyang said after a pause, "after the TV station was acquired. Several big projects will be launched soon. Then it's time for you to show your strength. At that time, no matter who you are, as long as you are talented, you will be promoted to the top of the company! Double the salary, double the benefits! ”

Yi Feiyang's words attracted everyone's emotion.

"God, is this true? He won't fire us, and he will give us a raise? ”

"Is there really such a good thing? It doesn't look like he's lying! ”

"Support him! He's a good guy! ”

……

The leading Adam stood up first: "Mr. Yi, you are a big celebrity in Hollywood, we believe your words." But we can't trust these people! He pointed to William Some and his gang. They're moths, they're bastards. We need to get justice from them! ”

"Get justice!"

"Justice!"

……

The whole atmosphere was tense again. Seeing that these "thugs" were staring wide-eyed as if they were going to eat themselves, William Some and other bigwigs were nervously ready to slip away at any time.

"Be quiet, please be quiet, big guy!" Yi Feiyang raised his hand and quieted everyone down. "Now, I will renegotiate with Mr. William and others and re-sign the contract, then, as long as the contract is successfully signed, the three things I promised just now. It will be sure to be cashed out! Yes, I assure you all. As long as Dream Entertainment acquires AMC, all of you will have a bright future! ”

After saying this, Yi Feiyang turned around, smiled politely at the former William Some and the others, and said, "Please, Mr. William, it looks like we need to renegotiate!" ”

……

Inside the conference room.

"Oh God, this can't be! The original price of 90 million US dollars suddenly became 30 million US dollars! William Som jumped like thunder, he had expected Yi Feiyang's opportunity to bargain, but what he didn't expect was that the other party would kill so hard.

Yi Feiyang calmed down, "Mr. William, please figure out one thing, first of all, your so-called 90 million, how much water there is, it is estimated that everyone knows it, don't think that I can only make movies, Mr. Alex, the manager of my investment department, has already investigated clearly, the market value of this AMC company is at most 60 million US dollars to 70 million US dollars, 90 million, hehe, you really treat me as an idiot!" ”

William Soom's face flushed, and the others were embarrassed.

"Maybe you're right, but your new 30 million ...... It's so little! “

"Quite a few, man!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, if your company really goes bankrupt, you will have to pay a large amount of severance pay, each employee is close to 100,000 US dollars, and 500 employees are 50 million US dollars, that is, you eat 90 million from me, 50 million will be taken out for dismissal, and 40 million will be used to compensate for arrears, and you will not get a dime!" But now, you just need to obediently take the 30 million I gave you, and I will take care of everything for you...... Yes, take charge of everything! Seeing no, the crowd outside is surging, shouting and shouting to kill! I promise, they won't pester you any more, you're safe! That's it! Yi Feiyang spread his hands.

William Some and the others were speechless, they didn't expect Yi Feiyang to threaten him with people outside.

It is conceivable that if he doesn't sign the contract now, Yi Feiyang throws his hands out, of course he is fine, but as a target for venting, those guys will arrest them and tear them apart.

looked at Yi Feiyang in front of him, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

Threat!

This is a threat of naked~naked~naked!

But it can't be helped!

Look at the surging group of employees outside.

William Som closed his eyes bitterly, "Alright, man, just do what you say!" ”

……

In the end, Yi Feiyang obtained an AMC TV station with a market value of about 60 million at a purchase price of 30 million.

As the heroes of this time, investment manager Alex and barrister Louis Carr contributed a lot, and Yi Feiyang gave praise.

Of course, in a bar afterwards, Alex, the investment manager, took three or four big red envelopes and handed them to a few people who were drinking and having fun there, and they were the same people who took the lead in making trouble on TV that day.

Seeing a lot of banknotes in the red envelope, the big guy, everyone is happy!

Sometimes doing business is like that, it's like putting on a show!

……

Dream Entertainment's acquisition of AMC TV did not cause much of a stir in Hollywood. Because in the eyes of many people, Yi Feiyang's behavior is a typical nouveau riche burning money. In their opinion, no matter how magical Yi Feiyang is, it is impossible to bring this TV station back to life in the shortest possible time.

Bearing huge debts, and the more than 500 employees who are waiting to be fed but have nothing to do, will be like a heavy weight, crushing China Yi's waist pole!

But is that really the case?!

……

Early March 2003.

As the new president of AMC TV, Yi Feiyang drastically reorganized the resources of the TV station, and then took out 30 million US dollars, as well as his own new drama ideas, and handed them over to the investment department and production department of the TV station.

This new drama is - "The Walking Dead"!

After specific analysis, the big guys feel that "The Walking Dead" is on the right time, because the original comic book author of this drama has just finished the first part.

"The Walking Dead", as a comic book with a zombie theme, is written by Robert Kirkman. This chocolate-loving obese comic book author is full of bloody comic connotations, and his works are full of a large amount of blood plasma and mutilated limbs. Therefore, as soon as his works came out, they were criticized by many defenders.

However, the fat man still went his own way, and after the first part of "The Walking Dead" was published, it was welcomed by many adult readers and young readers, making those criticisms directly become a tool to promote his works. Sometimes that's it, the more you say it's bad, the more curious people want to see it.

Fat Robert lives in Kentucky, and Yi Feiyang flew directly over on a newly purchased private jet.

The plane cost tens of millions of dollars, and the cabin is spacious and comfortable, and it can even hold a small party.

For such a luxurious "purchase" behavior, as the chief financial officer, the fat man Gao Jiabao rarely did not raise any objections, and he chose to remain silent. Yi Feiyang only found out afterwards. It turns out that this guy has already set the purpose of "fake public and private", when Yi Feiyang is not using the plane, this guy drives the plane around, and the name is an inspection project, but it is actually a big amount of money for picking up girls. But not to mention, his selfish behavior has actually helped Fantasy Entertainment a lot, at least let many people know that Fantasy Entertainment is strong, and even those who manage finances can afford to sit on private jets.

Robert, a fat man who is a newcomer in the comic industry, could never have imagined that Yi Feiyang, a dignified director of the generation, would come to visit him in person, and the moment he saw Yi Feiyang, he was a little flattered and moved. You know, in order to create this "Walking Dead" comic, he has been in arrears for several months on the mortgage and car loan, and now, seeing Yi Feiyang is like seeing his own father, because he knows that the person who sent the money is coming.

Yi Feiyang did not disappoint the fat Robert, not only signed the film and television adaptation rights of "The Walking Dead" with him, but also invited him to be the screenwriter of this play. In this regard, the fat man was grateful to Dade and vowed to do his best to help Yi Feiyang complete the play together. (To be continued......)
