Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 581

  The success of the CAA in later generations undoubtedly proved the ability of Michael Ovitz, and such people naturally cannot take it lightly.

  If Michael Ovitz could hear Yang Chen's heart, then he would definitely not say this to Yang Chen, deliberately showing how good his Chinese was.

  Michael Ovitz has dealt with the Chinese more than once. He knows that before talking to the Chinese, the two sides have to circle each other in a big circle before talking about the main point.

   But what he didn't know was that this guy Yang Chen didn't do much research on Sun Tzu's art of war, whether he was in his previous life or his predecessor, and he couldn't even remember it completely.

   In order not to embarrass himself, Yang Chen didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Mr. Michael Ovitz, we will not talk nonsense. Since you are here today, you must have already made a decision about my investment in CAA."

  Michael Ovitz: "Yes, Mr. Yang Chen, I came here to see you today, to represent myself and the other four CAA founders, and negotiate with Mr. Yang Chen."

   Yang Chen nodded, stretched out his hand and made a request.

  Michael Ovitz: "We have three conditions in total. If Mr. Yang Chen can agree, we are willing to take 30% of the shares and let Mr. Yang Chen become the major shareholder of CAA."

   Yang Chen heard the words and smiled: "Three conditions, 30% of the shares, this is very interesting, Mr. Michael Ovitz, please continue."

   "The first one, 30% of CAA shares, requires Mr. Yang Chen to invest 30 million US dollars in CAA. Press, it must be in cash, and we do not accept any stock exchange."

   Now what CAA lacks is money, and share replacement is naturally impossible.

   As for the 30 million US dollars, to be honest, at this time, the whole CAA packaged and sold, I am afraid it is not worth 30 million US dollars, which is obviously a lion's mouth.

   Seeing that Yang Chen didn't speak, Michael Ovitz had no choice but to continue: "The second condition, if Mr. Yang Chen becomes a shareholder in CAA and becomes a major shareholder, the stock in his hand cannot be sold to others.

   Of course, if Mr. Yang Chen is really unwilling to hold CAA shares in the future, the company will repurchase them, and the price will be based on the actual value. "

After talking about the second condition, Michael Ovitz simply did not stop, and said the third condition again, "The third one, nothing else, is my personal request, I hope that Mr. Yang Chen will become a After becoming a major shareholder, fully support me so that I can continue to serve as the head of CAA."

   To be honest, with the current development of CAA, it is not difficult to find someone to invest in. It is rare that someone is willing to pay a high price for a share.

  30 million US dollars and 30% of the shares are naturally nothing in view of the later development history of CAA.

   But for now, ordinary investors will never spend several times the market value of a company to invest in a company without any real assets.

  A brokerage company, to put it bluntly, relies on a contract to maintain it. It is established today and may be closed at any time tomorrow. There is no real asset. Once the company goes bankrupt, there will be no hair left in the end.

  The risk factor of investment is too large. Except for the eight major Hollywood film companies, which will be higher than the market price due to their strategic layout, no one is willing to take such a large risk investment.

   However, for Michael Ovitz and others, the eight major film companies are the last resort.

The capital game is the most irresistible temptation. Once the eight major companies are given even the slightest chance, they can use any means at that time, and they can make Michael Ovitz and several founders disintegrate and swallow CAA whole. go down.

   It's different with Yang Chen. First of all, he's not an American, and he doesn't have the slightest foundation in Hollywood, which allows Michael Ovitz to accept his funds without any scruples.

   At the same time, Yang Chen is not a pure businessman, as Michael Ovitz understands, Yang Chen is in Xiangjiang, the place known as the Hollywood of the East, and has a TV station.

The   CAA model has already achieved preliminary results. As long as another sum of funds can be injected to consolidate the situation, it is possible to soar to the sky from now on.

   Yang Chen took the coffee from Lan Meiren, took a sip, and then smiled at Michael Ovitz in front of him and asked, "Mr. Michael Ovitz, do you think CAA's current market value can be worth 100 million US dollars?"

  "No" Michael Ovitz didn't hesitate.

   Yang Chen said with great interest: "Then why does Mr. Michael Ovitz dare to ask such harsh conditions?"

Michael Ovitz said very seriously: "You Orientals have a saying, 'Maximum is common, but Bole doesn't often have it', I think CAA is a Maxima that can truly travel thousands of miles a day, if Mr. Yang Chen If it is Bole, then I will definitely invest.”

The corner of Yang Chen's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and continued: "However, please don't forget, Mr. Michael Ovitz, I am a businessman, a businessman will not do business at a loss, and it is a very risky sum. Business."

Michael Ovitz: "It's natural for ordinary businessmen, but as far as I know, there was once a wealthy man in the east, his name was Lu Buwei, the biggest business in his life, let him from a businessman. , become a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people..."

   Seeing that Michael Ovitz moved Lu Buwei out, Yang Chen was extremely speechless. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had a Bayern face and blond hair, Yang Chen would have suspected that the other party was a fake foreign devil.

  Yang Chen didn't say anything, and watched Michael Ovitz pretending to be forceful in front of him, not to mention, this guy deserves to be a person who can lead CAA to rise all the way.

  According to the intention of the other party, if Yang Chen misses this investment, then once CAA succeeds in the future, what he will lose is far from being a major shareholder of CAA.

  Think of the future Li Chaoren's second son, Little Superman, because he sold the Penguin shares, and he became the laughing material of countless people.

  Although Yang Chen had already made a decision in his heart, he saw Michael Ovitz, a foreign devil, in front of him, showing off the three-pronged axe he didn't know where he learned from.

   Yang Chen felt that he couldn't follow his wishes so easily.

   Nausea and disgust him first.

   "Mr. Michael Ovitz, I'll be here today. I will seriously consider whether to invest in CAA in the next two days."

   "Press, I will give you a specific answer before I leave the United States."

   After finishing speaking, Yang Chen picked up the coffee cup and gestured to Michael Ovitz.

  'Send tea to guests'

   Take a look at the foreign devil in front of him, whether he really understands Chinese culture.

   Michael Ovitz, who wanted to say something originally, saw Yang Chen's action, his expression changed slightly.

  's lips moved, and he took a serious look at Yang Chen, seeing that Yang Chen really didn't seem interested in continuing to talk.

   So, I picked up the half cup of coffee left on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and left.
