Chapter 382: Acquisition of an Entertainment Company
Small meeting room.
Luo Yin sat at the round table with a big grin, Lisa and Selena sat next to Luo Yin on the left and right, next to Goss and another club member.
Lisa and Selena were a little confused, is it really appropriate for them to be here for this kind of business occasion? But this was Luo Yin's request, and they didn't dare not listen.
Luo Yin put his hand on Lisa's lap and played with it gently. His attention was on the two Goss, though.
"Mr. Goss, your asking price is too high......"
The member was embarrassed. He had some interest in the entertainment industry, and he happened to hear that Goss was selling some of his shares, so he came to inquire about the situation.
But Goss's offer exceeded his expectations, he was rich, but the richer the person, the more sensitive he was to the price, and he couldn't accept this price.
"You have also seen that the prospect of our Bloom Entertainment Company is very good, the shares of our company are bought and earned, and you can sell at this price, and you will not lose money! I promise that within a year ā oh no, within two years, it will definitely pay back! ā
Hearing this, the member didn't say anything, but Luo Yin frowned.
Recoup in two years? Then this payback period is too long...... He has so much business, and he hasn't made money so slowly. Not to mention two years, even half a year is too slow. Unless it's a brick-and-mortar heavy industry, but entertainment companies are clearly not.
The member thought for a moment, then finally shook his head and got up:
"I'm sorry, but my budget doesn't allow me to do that, but I'd love to take a stake in the company......"
He originally saw that Luo Yin was also coming, and thought that there would be one more competitor, but he didn't expect that he was thinking too much, and Goss's asking price exceeded his budget, so he could only give up.
The man apologized and left, leaving Goss, Luo Yin, and the second daughter in the conference room.
Goss was a little disappointed, he was in trouble with another industry and needed a lot of money. If he sells a part of the shares of the bloom company, it is a pity that the other party dislikes the price too high.
However, Goss quickly adjusted his mood, after all, there was still a rich man here.
"Mr. Luo Yin, what do you think of the price? I don't think I'm asking for a high price......"
Goss seemed to be complaining, but in fact, he was also testing to see what Luo Yin thought.
"I don't think it's too high."
Luo Yin smiled and spoke.
Goss's eyes lit up, if Luo Yin also said that the price was high, it meant that there was no play, and it was impossible for him to continue to reduce the price, after all, it was not that the shares of the Bloom Company could not be sold. And Luo Yin said that the price is not high, which means that Luo Yin is interested, and the two still have room for negotiation.
"It's still Mr. Luo Yin who has a vision! But I don't know...... Are you interested in getting into the entertainment industry? ā
Goss's gaze was expectant.
"I wasn't interested before, but after seeing these wonderful performances today, I'm a little interested."
Luo Yin lived up to Goss's expectations.
Goss immediately recommended:
"Why don't you buy some shares in our company?" Trying the water? ā
In the face of Goss's recommendation, Luo Yin shook his head.
Goss had just talked to the member about selling 300,000 shares for a total of 9.6 million, or 32 yuan per share.
Bloom Company is a listed company, the current stock price is 34 yuan per share, a total of 3 million shares, and a total market value of 102 million.
The member thought that 32 yuan was too expensive, and the price was 27 yuan. A loss of 5 yuan at once is equivalent to a loss of 1.5 million. Goss was reluctant, believing that he was already at the right price.
But the other party's budget is also limited, and he may not lack this 1.5 million, but he is only interested in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't plan to really dive into it. So naturally the two couldn't talk.
9.6 million is nothing, but the problem is that this share is too small, a total of ten percent of the shares, and the impact on the company is limited. So Luo Yin shook his head.
Goss saw Luo Yin shaking his head, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
It seems that Luo Yin is still too expensive!
But before he could speak, he saw Luo Yin speak:
"Less, too few shares."
"Huh?"
"I'm a person who does things, or I don't do it, or I have to do it with all my might. If I just buy 10 percent of the shares, it doesn't make much sense to me. Because even if a year or two later, the stock price doubled and I made 9.6 million, but personally, it didn't help much, because I could make more money by investing this money elsewhere. ā
Luo Yin spoke violently.
This is not a pretense, but a statement of facts.
Goss was a little embarrassed, but he didn't think Luo Yin was bragging, after all, the development prospects of Luo Yin's Green Pothos Private Military Company were obvious to all.
As for Lisa and Selena next to her, they lowered their heads slightly, trembling. This kind of casual talk is a business of tens of millions of dollars, and it is the first time they have seen each other in their lives, for fear that their actions will affect the two of them.
"What do you mean ......"
Goss frowned slightly.
Luo Yin didn't go around the bend either, and spoke straightforwardly.
"I'll be blunt, I do have some interest in the entertainment industry. But you give me too little stake. If you plan to sell more, then I will buy, and if you sell a large quantity, then I will buy at the market price, or even at a premium, it is not impossible. So it depends on how many shares you are willing to sell. ā
This made Goss embarrassed, he was short of money, but he didn't want to sell all the company, after all, this was a company he set up single-handedly, and he had some feelings.
However, Luo Yin's meaning is also obvious, Luo Yin obviously has a strong desire to control, he doesn't like to be an ordinary shareholder, he wants to be the biggest one, and Luo Yin does have this strength.
"Otherwise, you can wait a while, and I'll go and discuss it with the other shareholders?"
Goss was still a little moved. But he only has 40% of the shares in his hands, and Luo Yin obviously wants more than 40%.
"Okay, then I'll wait a minute."
Goss hurried out of the conference room, ready to make a call. Although at this point in time, it is not a gentleman's behavior to disturb others, but for the sake of money, it is not cold.
After waiting for Luo Yin to be left in the conference room, Luo Yin suddenly asked:
"Lisa, what do you think of this Bloom Company?"
"Huh?"
Lisa was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly organized her language, thinking about how to answer to satisfy Luo Yin without offending the big boss of Goss.
Luo Yin added at this time:
"I want to listen to the truth and say whatever comes to my mind."
Hearing this, Lisa suddenly cried and mourned. She knew that she had to offend someone today.
Now Goss is not there, but Luo Yin is sitting next to her...... She had no choice but to offend Goss.
"Bloom is a good company...... However, there are some drawbacks......"
After Lisa finished saying what she thought in her heart, her face was bitter, if these words reached the ears of the big boss, she estimated that the lightest would be a fate that would be hidden in the snow, but there was no way, she couldn't help herself......
Luo Yin touched his chin and thought about it.
Lisa said a lot, and even some of the preambles didn't match the afterword, but the general meaning was actually quite simple.
Bloom Company is a well-established entertainment company with a reasonable and sound company structure, a large number of artists, and a wide range of contacts.
But there is also a very bad thing about Bloom Company in Lisa's opinion, that is, the company's artists want to stand out, not by strength, but by connections! In other words, the entire entertainment industry is about relationships, and their company has carried forward this situation.
It's actually nothing to talk about relationships, after all, people are in society. But the problem is, relying on relationships to relying on relationships, your professional ability has to pass!
But in Bloom Company, the artists with the highest coffee positions in the company, in Lisa's opinion, their level is really not good!
Bloom Company divides artists into five levels, with the lowest level of the first level and the highest level of the fifth level. Lisa belongs to the eldest sister in the third rank.
ć
But that's the limit she can reach, unless she sells herself to that shareholder, it's impossible to rise in the ranks.
And those people at the fifth level are either the lover of a certain shareholder, or the relatives of a certain shareholder, or the wife and sister-in-law of a certain shareholder. In Lisa's opinion, their professional strength is at most at the level of the second level.
But such people have become the "pillars" of the company, and they enjoy the best resources and get the highest remuneration. But they bring limited benefits to the company.
The reason why Bloom Company has the scale it has today is not because of those top artists, but on middle and senior artists such as level 3 and level 4.
As an intermediate artist, Lisa is naturally very unaccustomed to this situation, but she is not qualified to change as a small artist.
Now after saying it all at once, although she is apprehensive in her heart, she feels a lot better inexplicably, she has always wanted to say it before, but there is no suitable person to talk to. This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, if you really say it, I'm afraid it won't be hidden by the company the next day.
She didn't even say Selena, Selena's eyes widened when she heard this, this entertainment industry is more than she imagined...... What a difference!
Luo Yin looked at Lisa and was very satisfied with her. This kind of thing, if it weren't for an experienced artist in the company telling him, he would probably have to work hard to find out.
This question is not big or small.
The main thing is to see how many shares Goss can come up with, if the shares are less, Luo Yin can't change it, but if there are more shares...... That's what Luo Yin said.
"You said so many bad things about the company, aren't you afraid that the company will come back and trouble you?"
Luo Yin smiled and said to Lisa.
Lisa bit her lip, didn't Luo Yin force her to say this. But she definitely didn't dare to blame Luo Yin, so she could only say aggrievedly:
"IāI'm fine......"
"Haha, don't worry."
Luo Yin pinched her face, and felt that her aggrieved appearance was also quite interesting. It just so happened that Goss came back at this time, and when he saw this scene, he immediately showed an expression that all men understand.
Lisa's face flushed suddenly, and she quickly turned her head away from the two of them.
"Mr. Luo Yin, I discussed with them, if you are really sincere, we can sell you all the shares in our hands!"
Goss said with a serious face.
"Huh? All sold? ā
Luo Yin was a little surprised, in this short ten minutes, how could Goss talk about it, and he could actually move all the other shareholders to take action?
Perhaps seeing Luo Yin's surprise, Goss was a little embarrassed and said:
"In fact, the shareholders of this company are all relatives of our family. I'm a good talker......"
"That's ...... so"
Luo Yin was stunned.
He said that the artists within the blooming company are all people who rely on relationships and not abilities, and it turns out that the shareholders are all relatives! Then it makes sense - today this relative stuffs one person in, tomorrow that relative stuffs another one. The people you take care of me this time, and the people I take care of you tomorrow, over time, the resources are all taken up by these own people......
These shareholders may not know that this is not conducive to the development of the company, but everyone is related to those artists, how can they be embarrassed to transfer the artists with a fifth-level status to a third-level status?
But in this case, it will be more convenient for Luo Yin!
Luo Yin and Goska began to continue to communicate, and since one wanted to buy and the other wanted to sell, the negotiations between the two progressed quickly.
In the end, Luo Yin decided to buy 2.25 million shares of Bloom Company at a price of 36 yuan per share, that is, 75% of the shares. That's 81 million in total.
The price of 36 yuan is a premium of two yuan, after all, it is 34 yuan for a share on the stock market. If you want to buy all the shares in their hands at once, you can only pay a slight premium, spend a little more money, but save trouble.
As for the remaining 25 percent of the shares that are tradable, they are all in the stock market.
After the price was negotiated, all kinds of details were almost discussed. Luo Yin directly made it clear that after the company was sold to him, he would carry out a big blood change, and those who came in by connections, if Goss didn't take them away, then Luo Yin would either be fired directly, or he would be hidden within the expiration of the contract, and there was no third option.
Goss apparently knew there was going to be a situation and he said he would take care of it.
Luo Yin borrowed a few lawyers from Hayden, and after confirming that the contract was fine, he signed his name. Luo Yin called the bank's personal housekeeper by the way and transferred the account, but it was 30% transferred, and the rest was transferred after Luo Yin took over the company and confirmed that there was no problem.
At this point, the deal is completed.
Lisa and Selena next to her were dumbfounded.
In less than an hour, the Bloom Company changed hands?
Wait, in this case, isn't Luo Yin their new boss?
Lisa's expression was a little complicated, but inexplicably a little reassured......
"Haha, Mr. Luo Yin is really a refreshing person, happy to cooperate!"
Goss laughed. In fact, the company's problems are also known to the shareholders, but unless they make up their minds, it is not easy to change. Now it is a good thing to be able to sell the company at a certain premium. With so much money, he could have invested in other industries, but Goss had already made up his mind that he would not partner with his relatives in business anymore.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Luo Yin shook hands with him with a smile.
This transaction is indeed a little too fast, Luo Yin has not even been to the company, but this is not a problem. He had just consulted with Hayden and the lawyer, and there was nothing wrong with the company. And it is also written in the contract that if there is a pit that Goss did not mention, then they will pay Luo Yin money.
It's not too early now, and many members have gone back to their rooms to rest, and of course, many of them are bringing some beautiful artists.
Goss asked Luo Yin if he wanted him to organize it, so that the artists in the company could come and meet Luo Yin and get to know the new boss.
Luo Yin refused, there is no need now, let's wait until the follow-up is done.
He now has to study the follow-up development route of Bloom Entertainment, he has a lot of ideas in his head, but with the current situation, not much can be realized.
Seeing Luo Yin get up and prepare to go back to the room, Lisa was a little entangled in whether she should follow......
She was asked by Luo Yin by name, and she was also mentally prepared. But Luo Yin suddenly became her boss......
