Chapter 231

Mark said, "what do you think is the difference between us and DreamWorks?"

Edgar smiled a funny smile and said, "do you want to be another dream factory?"

Now DreamWorks is the standard bearer of independent films, with unlimited scenery. It is a film DreamWorks that attracts worldwide attention. Many people take them as their goals.

Mark said, "no! We don't want to learn from them. They're almost finished!" to convince this world-class strong management man, we need to show some dry goods. At his level, what we need to show is not his education and work experience, but his strength, strategic vision and macro-control ability.

You are a strong man, I am stronger. We work together to fight the world and make a fortune. This is Mark's chip and plan to attract this strong man.

Edgar looked surprised and said, "why do you think DreamWorks is coming to an end."

Mark said: "Giant companies created Hollywood. Whether you admit it or not, they are the cornerstone of Hollywood. If you live here, you must respect the rules here. DreamWorks, as a subverter of the system, naturally brings a halo of hatred. More importantly, their field is too large and their internal waste is serious. As a big film company, they actually don't have their own studio and distribution channel Road, there is no own publicity platform, and the situation is extremely unfavorable. If giant companies want to choke their necks, they will choke their necks. If they are subversive of any system, they will be finished soon this year and later next year. "

Megan said, "but DreamWorks Animation is now more beautiful than Disney animation and Pixar."

Last year, the global box office of Shrek 2 soared to more than 900 million US dollars, surpassing Nemo and becoming the most profitable film in Hollywood. Jeffrey casenberg, who has sharpened his sword for ten years, boasted: "I'm fucking fed up with Hollywood politics! Now I've finally landed. In Hollywood for 30 years, everything has to follow Hollywood logic. One day, I'll be myself, although it still takes a little time.".

DreamWorks Animation is split and listed independently, with a market value far above DreamWorks films.

Mark said: "kasenberg is a smart man. He sees that the wind is wrong, so he is afraid of being dragged down by DreamWorks by splitting up his most profitable acre."

"Your eyes are very sharp and you have the temperament of an excellent leader. Where do you think your defects are?"

But this franchisee is not a job seeker. We must convince each other.

Mark said, "what I owe is time and an excellent CEO. I'm not a qualified CEO!"

Megan said: "our distribution channels have covered beimi. The next step is to expand overseas. We have enough financing channels to build our overseas distribution branch. As for publicity, we have Google and Youtube, and we have three big selling cooperation projects with Warner. No one can completely block us in publicity."

Egger said: "yes, your advantages are so obvious. As long as you take time, your achievements will be greater. That's why I'm willing to talk to you. But you're too conservative in business. You have extremely favorable conditions. When the time permits, you should work hard and expand quickly."

Mark said, "do you have any good suggestions?" it's Mark's turn to test him. Although mark knows that this guy is very talented, it's still necessary to have a superficial try. He also wants to know whether this man is really so good.

"What do you think of the Columbia film after Martin Davis's merger?" egger asked

Mark said, "Davis made a mess of this old film company!"

Edgar Road: "Davis is a master of speculation. Money is just a number game for him. People who are used to playing games to make money very quickly will not be interested in operating entity business. You know, when Columbia film is in a good year, it will make a profit of 1.8 billion, and his one vote profit is more than 3 billion. If my judgment is correct, if their three-year plan this summer vacation When the film is gone, he will not hesitate to sell the film company for cash, and then look for the next target. "

Mark was extremely surprised. It was not because of egger's words. He couldn't figure out that Martin had behaved so strangely after taking over Columbia film. Egger's explanation made sense. It was a matter of being a fan or vision, but he still asked, "why don't you do a good job in the film company and sell it at a higher price?"

Egger said confidently: "like these giant companies, there will never be a lack of interested buyers. Even in my hands, I don't worry that I can't sell at a good price. The question now is whether Davis has the confidence to operate. If the three films sell well, he may consider operating. If he loses, he will sell."

Mark said, "but what's our business? It's a big deal of tens of billions of dollars, which we can't touch." he won't disclose his relationship with Martin, which is a big or small thing.

"If I were the CEO of mmco, I would promote the acquisition of Columbia film. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," egger said

Mark said, "I know it's a good opportunity, but we have more than 10 billion there?"

Egger said, "you have this idea. It's a big mistake. You can get more than 10 billion. It's just a matter of operating skills."

Mark couldn't help pounding. He swallowed a mouthful of water and asked, "what should we do?"

Edgar Road: "Among so many tycoons in Hollywood, I admire Samuel Redstone most. He is a master of capital operation. At that time, his national entertainment company was only 2 billion, but he could buy Viacom, a media giant with a market value of 10 billion, then buy 8 billion blockbuster, and then buy paramount at a sky high price. Last year, he spent 40 billion to buy CBS, and spent more than 70 billion in 15 years Buy and build a media empire. "

Mark said, "where did he get his money?"

Edgar Road: "He is married to the bank family, so he can easily get sky high loans. As far as I know, mark, your stepmother also has this relationship, and your brother and sister have equity in the company. They are the sweethearts of old Mr. ronaldson. This relationship is stronger than that of the leiston family, and miss Ellison is not short of money. If you go to the bank for loans, they will Would be happy to lend it to you. Who would doubt your ability to repay it? "

Mark said, "can you still play like this?"

"Of course, you have a strong profitability, which can make bankers confident in you. Trust me, if you make good use of these relationships, you will go all the way," egger said

Mark pondered, "what if Davis continues to run Columbia film?"

"Then wait until they lose money. I believe they will sell as soon as they lose money," egger said

Megan said, "aren't you worried that we'll leave you and carry out the plan?"

Edgar Road: "I'm certainly not the only one who can see this problem. I believe many people have begun to prepare. Not many people can operate and implement such a huge plan. If the other five big shots are made, they will certainly fail to pass the clearance of the Trade Commission. However, if foreign capital enters, there is a problem of how to turn the company into a profit. The Japanese have spent ten years with strong financial resources, so there won't be many players , fewer people can carry out such a plan. "

Mark said, "are you interested in working in mm? Let's work together to build an empire."

Egger said: "it depends on the conditions. After working in Disney for 30 years, I have little interest in working."

What he means is that without shares, there is no need to talk about how much salary. Having shares is the boss, not working.

Mark said: "annual salary of 12 million, 10% equity!"

Megan added: "if this 10% equity leaves within ten years, the company will recover it at the market price. It will always belong to you for more than ten years."

This condition is quite favorable. When the 10% equity alone has a market value of 150 million to 200 million, Megan would not agree to the plan if it was not for the five-star recommendation of gang leader Qiao, which means that she and mark have lost 5% of their shares respectively, and her shares have been reduced to 30%, which can be called a sky high price contract.

Mark thinks the money is worth it. He is the top management strong man. If he doesn't care about his equity, a small company like mm can't impress him. As one of the shareholders and bosses, he will make great efforts to lead the company.

Mark said, "what do you think?"

Egger said, "you are sincere, but I need to think about time. Give me three days!" this is a very important thing. It's normal for anyone to think twice.

Mark got up and shook hands with him and said, "I look forward to your good news!" mark is not a person who likes to fart alone in the quilt. This person can bring more benefits and lead the company to become stronger. He doesn't mind the dilution of equity

Mark had just left the club and came to the parking lot. Megan said, "take my car!" she took her bodyguards and drove five cars. It was very elegant. Mark drove his BMW SUV. He was invited to take Megan's Lincoln. Megan said, "Colombia, do you think we have a chance?"

Mark said, "it's a matter of great importance. We should consult our elders!" without the strong support of Sophia and Larry, they farted. Without the nod of these elders, no bank would lend them so much money.

Megan said, "first of all, you should know Martin's damn position. If egger guesses wrong, there is only fantasy. With your friendship with him, he shouldn't hide you?"

Mark is not sure about this. It involves tens of billions of business, and every percentage point is hundreds of millions. It is not good for them to disclose their strategic intention in advance. However, this phone call should be made, which can let them seize the opportunity. The early bird catches the worm. He said, "I'll make this phone call!"

Megan raised the soundproof panel and poured mark a glass of champagne. Her car was equipped with a refrigerator filled with wine and drinks, which allowed her to enjoy traveling and sometimes work.
