Chapter 89: Who Fishes Without a Helmet?
Late at night.
The sky is dark, the half-moon is hanging diagonally, and the stars are twinkling.
Bai Ye took the sugar candy, went into the bathroom to take a shower, wiped her clean, and then took this delicate girl like a kitten into her arms.
Sugar Candy's pretty face was flushed, and she arched in Bai Ye's chest, adjusting her position to make her closer to Bai Ye's heart and heart.
"Brother, I love you so much!"
Sugar Candy kissed the corner of Bai Ye's mouth, muttered softly, and smirked.
"I love you too!"
Bai Ye kissed Candy's hair and smiled.
Maybe the person he loves the most is not necessarily Tangtang, but the person who loves him the most in the world may be Tangtang.
After all, Tangtang was brought up by him.
"Then brother, I'll give you a baby, okay?"
Sugar Candy blinked and said.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said earnestly:
"Sugar Candy, do you know? Marriage is the bondage of women, and having children is to make girls become tools for procreation, I don't want you to be oppressed, I don't want you to be constrained by marriage, do you understand? ”
Sugar Candy: "......"
If you don't want to get married, you won't get married, and you still say these things to coax me......
Sugar Candy puffed her mouth.
"Okay, let's not talk about these topics of oppression and exploitation." Bai Ye changed the topic and said, "Tangtang, you can tell your agent that you are going to start acting in movies." ”
"Movies?"
"Yes." "Just two days ago, I set up a Mercury Media company with a registered capital of $1.5 billion to buy several film companies in Hollywood," White Night said. Now the CEO of the company and I have prepared two movie scripts, one is "The Hunger Games" and the other is "Spider-Man", both of which are A-level productions with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and the heroine is also you. ”
Rao is the reason of sugar candy, and his breathing is a little short at the moment.
People who are in the fashion circle and entertainment industry, who wouldn't want to mix into Hollywood's A coffee and enjoy the feeling of the world's attention?
As a model, even if you achieve the position of Victoria's Secret supermodel, your social status is always the same, you eat a bowl of youth rice, and you may be asked to retire at any time because you are older, which is cruel.
And mixed into a Hollywood actor, that is the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, the flowering period has greatly increased, even if you are old, you can go to Hollywood to be an elderly special actor, and eat with a mouth, isn't Meryl Streep it?
Almost every Victoria's Secret supermodel wants to drill into Hollywood with a sharpened head, but unfortunately, for the time being, there is no supermodel who can break through this boundary, at most in some A-level productions.
The heroine of an A-level production movie, Tangtang may be the first supermodel to do it, which can be regarded as breaking history.
"But brother, can I really be the heroine of an A-grade production movie?"
Tangtang said a little worriedly.
Rao already knew Bai Ye's arrangements for her before, and she also discussed with Bai Ye which medium-sized Hollywood company to acquire, but when it came to the end, Tangtang was still a little worried.
"What if I mess up the movie because I don't have good acting skills?"
"If it's smashed, it's smashed, it's not important, then it's good to invest in the next one. If one doesn't work, then let's have another one, a dozen or so, there will always be success, right? Bai Ye smiled and rubbed Sugar Candy's head and said, "Sugar Candy, if you believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to succeed!" ”
In "Spider-Man 1", Mary Jane's character ...... Oh, now it should be a character called Kenm, just the image of a girl next door, very in line with Tangtang's current age and mentality, just play in her true colors, Bai Ye doesn't feel that she needs any acting skills, for example, in Huaxia's A-level production movie "Red Cliff", is Mrs. Kurosawa able to become the heroine of the movie because of her good acting skills?
Hehe!
A person who has a movie universe that belongs to him has done so many movies, but he still continues to act, and he is lucky to become popular!
As for "The Hunger Games", a commercial film, the heroine is cool, what acting skills do you need?
Well, the eldest cousin did get Osborne, but how did that come about...... Hehe, people with a discerning eye know it in their hearts, Bai Ye thought that his eldest cousin was crushed by Harvey's fat pig, tsk, he couldn't even think about the woman of his eldest cousin......
"Brother, you're so good!"
Sugar Candy pounced on the white night.
Well, she felt that the grace of the dripping water in the white night could only be reciprocated by the spring.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The sky is white, a breath of fresh air is scattered in the world, and everything is pure and refreshing.
The sun, full of hope, shot red like a rocket to the ground, reflecting a flame like oil boiling.
After Bai Ye was dressed neatly, he came to the other side of the boat, Sugar Candy was half asleep, Bai Ye smiled, kissed Sugar Candy on his smooth and delicate face, and said softly:
"I have something to do today, I can't accompany you, you have to take care of yourself."
"Uh-huh!"
Sleepy-eyed Sugar Candy rubbed her eyes and nodded.
She was so sleepy that she barely slept the whole night.
She is a mortal in the flesh, and she is not like Bai Ye, who has a body of steel, and can always maintain a state of dragon spirit and fierceness.
"Also, I sent the scripts of "Spider-Man" and "The Hunger Games" to your mobile phone, when you are fine, you can flip it out and take a look, if things go well in the past two days, there will be staff from Mercury Media to connect with you soon."
White Night added.
Speaking of work, Tangtang's consciousness is much clearer:
"I see, brother!"
"Goodbye then!"
Bai Ye patted Sugar Candy's head and turned to leave the bedroom.
Sugar Candy faced the back of the white night and shouted:
"Brother, you must be careful on the road."
White Night made an OK gesture.
Leaving Tangtang's house, he went straight to JFK Airport in the middle of the night, he and Ikana had agreed to accompany her to Los Angeles today to quickly solve the acquisition case.
Bai Ye didn't have much of a heart, and waited patiently, because saving millions, tens of millions of dollars, it could take months to make an acquisition, and he had to speed up his pace, and make sure to make a name for Mercury Media before Tony returned to New York.
Otherwise, when the time comes, New York will not know what demons and monsters will pop up, which will make people overwhelmed.
"Here we are."
Ikana was already waiting for him in the VIP lounge at the airport.
She wore a gray trench coat with a white shirt that created a color contrast.
In the white shirt, there is also a gray underwear, which is not only warm but also achieves the effect of "layering".
In order to reflect the overall "sassy" feeling, a pure white belt was tied around the waist as an embellishment, and the two or three thin belts that fell off looked like tassels from a distance, adding a touch of playfulness to the tough trench coat.
Wearing a pair of black and shiny leather heels underneath, echoing the black bag in his hand, avoiding the overall top-heavy visual sense, the overall look is full of aggression.
After all, it's about preparing for business negotiations, and of course you have to show a sense of sharpness, not play any sweet style.
"You're here so early?"
Hakuya smiled and sat down next to Ikana.
"I went to bed early last night." Ikana glanced at the white night and said, "It's not like some people who haven't slept all night, right?" ”
"Why! Don't slander me! ”
White Night retorted:
"And Ikana, you know? I checked last night, your father is in Florida and didn't call you at all, you lied to me! ”
"Huh?"
This time it was Ikana's turn to be embarrassed.
Last night, she saw that Bai Ye had eaten so many oysters, and she knew that she couldn't stand it at all, so she thought of a way to have someone call her temporarily and call her away, so that she could land smoothly and softly.
I didn't expect Bai Ye to be so boring, and he actually went to investigate such a trivial matter......
"Okay, let's not make any more fuss about this little thing, the plane is about to take off."
Ikana didn't dare to provoke Hakuya anymore, so she could only change the subject.
After about ten minutes, the plane took off and it was really time.
Sitting inside the plane, watching the plane pass through the runway and start taking off, Bai Ye looked down at the JFK Airport below and shook his head:
"Who can sit in a convertible without a helmet? What's the difference between this and fishing without a helmet? ”
Santa Monica, California.
Summit Entertainment Headquarters.
"Mr. Osborne, Miss Ikana, wait a moment, the coffee will be delivered soon."
Summit Entertainment's Chairman Patrick Watzberg and CEO Rob Lehman are entertaining White Night and Ikana.
Before the two came, they must have informed Summit Entertainment that they didn't come presumptuously.
"I won't drink the coffee." Bai Ye said straight to the point: "Chairman Patrick, Osborne wants to buy Summit Entertainment and enter Hollywood, you can make a price!" ”
Patrick didn't expect Bai Ye to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"Summit Entertainment welcomes all investors to join this big family, and if Osborne is willing to invest in Summit Entertainment, I am happy to accept it."
Summit Entertainment is a very good medium-sized company, worth about $300 million, and it is operating very well for the time being.
But the head effect works in all industries.
The smaller the company, the harder it is to grow.
If Summit Entertainment can use Osborne's boost to flourish and make the cake bigger, a fool will refuse.
"Chairman Patrick, I don't know if there was any error when it was conveyed." Bai Ye didn't eat his set, and said: "Osborne is preparing to buy Summit Entertainment, not inject capital. Let's put it bluntly, Osborne is willing to buy Summit Entertainment at a valuation of $350 million. ”
The valuation of $350 million definitely exceeds the value of Summit Entertainment itself, and there is a certain premium.
But Bai Ye didn't care, he cared more about the cost of his time than the cost of tens of millions of dollars.
Being able to acquire Summit Entertainment faster, with less skin and more money is not a problem at all.
The smile on Patrick's face froze, and after a while, he pondered his words:
"Thank you Mr. Osborne for your interest in Summit Entertainment, it's an honor and we're sorry...... Summit Entertainment currently has no plans to sell it. ”
When Patrick and two friends co-founded Summit Entertainment, they also had their own ambitions, that is, to make a career in Hollywood, rather than get a quick buck and leave immediately.
He has put a lot of effort into Summit Entertainment, how can he be willing to sell the company all of a sudden?
Of course, Patrick is not willing to tear up his face with a chaebol like Osborne:
"However, if Osborne is willing to inject capital into Summit Entertainment, I can give up the position of a major shareholder."
In Summit Entertainment's shareholding structure, Patrick holds 40% of the equity and is the majority shareholder of the company, while the other two friends each hold 30% of the equity.
As a major shareholder, he is basically the actual controller of a company, and if he hands over the position of major shareholder, Patrick also believes that he and his two friends can still suppress Osborne, and Summit Entertainment is still his.
- Before this, Patrick received the news that Osborne was indeed preparing to buy Summit Entertainment, but last night, he thought about it all night, he figured it out, he didn't want to sell Summit Entertainment, he enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight of the world of Hollywood, calling for wind and rain, and the life of coming and going with Hollywood superstars and celebrities, so far, he can't let go of these, and he turns around to do some business, it's too tiring and undignified.
"Major shareholder? Hehe......"
Bai Ye directly threw out a document:
"Let's take a look first."
Patrick took it over suspiciously, and saw that this was an equity transfer statement, and another shareholder of Summit Entertainment, Bob Hayward, was willing to transfer 30% of his shares to Mercury Media at a valuation of $350 million.
Bai Ye is not empty words, he is going to recklessly acquire Summit Entertainment, but after determining the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, he began to collect the information of the three shareholders of Summit Entertainment, and began to lay out, and now he is here, it is already the season to harvest, to pick sweet fruits, otherwise, he would not have been able to come to Los Angeles for a trip for nothing, is he really very idle?
"Chairman Patrick, you see Summit Entertainment as your own business, but others may not think so." Bai Ye smiled: "Bob Hayward in addition to Summit Entertainment, he is also engaged in medical device related business, unfortunately, Osborne is the world's largest medical and pharmaceutical company, I just matched him, met Osborne's California branch general manager, he is willing to transfer his shares in Peak Entertainment to me." ”
Patrick took a deep breath, he was a little angry, the three of them said that they would always advance and retreat together, and work together to create a world that belongs to them in Hollywood, but now that their career is not successful, someone retreated and gave him a knife in the back, how could he not be angry?
O Nima!
Even if you are moved by the other party's conditions because of your own business, but before you sell me, can you tell me first?
As a result, now, let others hit me by surprise!
"Mr. Osborne, I can only say, congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Summit Entertainment, but I don't sell the shares in my hands." Patrick said very stiffly: "You have 30% of the shares in your hands, and it is useless!" ”
"Is it really useless?" Bai Yeruo smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Patrick, haven't you listened to your good friend David Garrett lately, and has been complaining that his capital chain is very tight?" Many commercial banks said that he was in financial problems and were unwilling to give him loans, and he even wanted to go overseas to find a bank to borrow. ”
"Was it you Osborne who called those banks and told them not to lend to David?" Patrick's mind turned, and he reacted instantly, glaring at Bai Ye: "It's too despicable for you to do this, right?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to evidence in your work, slander me and be careful of lawsuits." Bai Ye smiled slightly and said, "I think that at this time, the head of the Los Angeles region of Wells Fargo should have found David Garrett who was willing to give him a loan......
Before Bai Ye's words were finished, the mobile phone he placed on the table rang.
Bai Ye took it and looked at it, and smiled:
"Just now Mr. David Garrett has signed the share transfer letter of Summit Entertainment, Chairman Patrick, and now I am the majority shareholder of Summit Entertainment."
"Since all the shareholders are here, I propose to hold a shareholders' meeting now to elect the new chairman of Summit Entertainment, and I propose that I myself be the new chairman of Summit Entertainment, and I agree to raise my hand...... Well, more than 60% of the votes, then now I'm the chairman of Summit Entertainment. ”
In a matter of seconds, the new chairman of Summit Entertainment was elected.
Bai Ye tidied up his clothes, stood up, and was about to take office, but he glanced at Patrick, who was still sitting still, and said in surprise: "Mr. Patrick, why are you sitting in my place?" ”
Patrick: "......"
"Alright, now let's bookmark this share transfer." Bai Ye threw the document to Patrick again and said, "If you don't sign it, maybe I can't do anything about you, but now the control of Summit Entertainment is already in my hands." Next, I will inject a lot of money into Summit Entertainment, will you follow? I don't think you have the capital to inject capital with me. Then your stake will be diluted, so why bother? Even, in the next ten years, Summit Entertainment will no longer pay dividends, without this money, will there be problems with the capital chain of your other businesses? Sign it off! ”
Patrick was silent for a long time, but he still reached out and picked up the signing pen, his hand trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he still signed the equity transfer letter.
He really can't afford the consequences of Summit Entertainment's ten years of non-dividends.
"Despicable!"
He dropped the pen and looked at Bai Ye viciously:
"You stab you in the back!"
"Nonsense, who said I would only stab people in the back?"
White Night glanced at Patrick dissatisfied, and then looked at Ikana:
"There are a lot of people I stabbed in front of me, right?"
Well, the kind of dry knives that go in and wet knives come out......
Ikana: "......"
