Chapter 232

Mark dialed Martin's phone. As soon as he got through, the other party answered the phone and asked, "what's up?"

Mark said, "I'm back in Los Angeles. Come out for a drink."

Martin said, "where are you?"

Mark said, "I'll find you."

Martin said, "come to Columbia Pictures? I'll have someone waiting for you at the door."

Mark and they immediately drove to the headquarters of Columbia film company in carver. Mark understood why Martin said to have people waiting for them at the door, because there were 200 or 300 people holding signs and shouting slogans at the door, while the guards at the door were heavily armed guards of Blackwater security company. They looked like they were wearing helmets, bulletproof vests and M21 automatic rifles, It's like facing a great enemy.

When Mark and his motorcade came, the bar at the gate rose and the motorcade entered directly. When they passed in front of the demonstrators, they booed, drank and picked, and threw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes at them. Without hesitation, the security guards fired rubber bullets over their heads to warn them.

Mark saw such a hot scene for the first time. Fortunately, their car was bulletproof and reflective. Mark and they drove into the company according to the instructions. Martin had been waiting for them at the door of the company lobby. Seeing their car so dirty, he felt very shameless. He flew into a rage and scolded the security captain around him: "you're fired!"

The security captain looked pale and asked, "why?"

Martin pointed to the rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes in the car and shouted, "that's why? You make me lose face. Thomas, the security captain is up to you. Next time there's such a thing, shoot directly and kill me!"

"Yes, sir!" a big man said loudly

The security captain had to leave dejected.

Martin said to mark, "you're laughing at a group of tricksters."

Mark said: "labor disputes, why do you have to be so nervous."

Martin said, "it's a group of greedy people who actually ask me to pay three times more compensation than the law. Why not rob!"

This is their housework. It's inconvenient for mark to ask. He said, "I have something to talk to you today."

Martin said, "I know. Go to my office." he led mark and Megan to the office and poured a glass of red wine for mark and Megan. He raised his glass and said, "cheers to friendship!"

Megan first said, "you national hero, life is not easy. You will soon become a national hero."

Martin said, "my life is very good. I don't care whether I'm a hero or a dog. The law can't restrain me, nor can I be benevolent, righteous and moral. What can I do for you? My friend?"

Mark said, "I heard a rumor that you are interested in selling Columbia Pictures!"

Martin scolded: "these damn, God damn shareholders, they are all vampires." it was obvious that the shareholders had leaked his secrets.

Megan said, "is there any basis for this rumor?"

Martin said: "the shareholders are indecisive. If it is profitable, they don't mind holding it for a long time. If it is not profitable, they can't make a profit by cashing out. They can't decide, mark, you should know why I refuse your kindness? I don't want these damn guys to take advantage of you or me, because I'm not sure who will be cheaper after I invest."

Mark said, "so the rumor is true?"

Martin said: "yes! Are you interested in this film company? Ha ha! Of course, who doesn't slander the torch goddess? Our friends belong to friends. Now I'm not convenient to reveal anything? But it's the highest price. If the price is the same, I'll give priority to you."

Mark said, "that doesn't rule out the possibility of selling?"

Martin shrugged and said, "who knows? Everything is possible. If you want to buy it, prepare the money, and the one with the highest price will get it."

Megan said, "how much are you going to quote?"

Martin smiled cunningly and said, "it depends on your quotation. If there is 25 billion, I'll sell it to you immediately. It's something I don't have to think about."

In the Sonny era, the market value of this company is only more than 12 billion. Even if MGM is included, it is more than 17 billion. Now the market value is less than 10 billion, and more than 25 billion is equivalent to robbery.

Megan said, "are you crazy about money?"

Martin said: "who is too rich? Columbia and MGM, the world's largest film library, are rare goods. I won't cut prices."

Megan said, "it's too expensive. It's a frightening price."

Martin said, "someone will be interested! Ha ha! You two, I have another meeting." this is to drive people away.

Megan scolded Martin all the way back. He was obsessed with money and didn't recognize people. When he got on the bus, Megan said, "Martin doesn't talk about loyalty as he imagined."

Mark said, "this is a big business of tens of billions. What are the human feelings and righteousness there? This is business. Everyone is business? Go back and ask Larry for advice. If they don't support it, everything is false. "

Megan said, "25 billion. We can't raise so much money anyway."

"If we get support, we will raise $15 billion for the acquisition. Beyond that price, we will give up the acquisition," Mark said

Mark went directly back to David's house. He called in advance to make an appointment. He would go home for dinner. When he got home, he played with his sister Kayla for a while as usual. After dinner, he listened to a new piano song learned by Kayla. After Kayla went to bed, he consulted Sophia and asked about the possibility of this matter.

Both David and Sophia were surprised and shocked.

David said, "this is a 10 billion company."

Sophia said, "it's strange that leishidong can swallow Viacom with a small and broad mind. Mark, they just copy this success, and no one stipulates that it can't be copied. The question now is whether you have the ability to take over this giant company and digest it? You should understand that snakes can't digest elephants successfully, but will choke yourself."

Mark said: "I know it's too fast and too fast, but this opportunity is rare. When giant companies rarely sell, our company is going to hire egger as CEO. With this experienced veteran, it's no problem to take over the company. It's certainly not going to be a mess like Martin."

Sophia said, "it's very important. I don't comment until I see your plan. At present, I dare not promise you anything, but if it's feasible, I'll try my best to fight for you and our family."

Sophia has long listed mark as a person who can plot big things. Mark is a good child. He saved her life. He made a fortune and pulled Donald and Keira to make them both worth more than 100 million. There are few such dignified and generous people. Now mark's plan is not for himself, but for the family.

Sophia, who was born in a banking family, is well aware of the great influence of the media industry. Her family has invested in the media industry for many times over the past century and ended in failure. Now mark can be said to have played the best in this industry. Since he started his career, he has never lost his hand. His talent and vision are destined to eat this industry. Without mark's promotion, they will not take a strong stake in Google, In a few months, Gu Ge is planning a second financing, which may exceed 6 billion. Donald is engaged in the Internet industry, which is also a part of the media industry. The two sides are highly complementary. All mothers will plan for their children. She knows what this means for children, which means that they can become the top elite in the world, You can do what you want without the influence of money.

David said, "OK, Hanhe law firm will provide necessary legal assistance. At the beginning of the acquisition, we will form a lawyer's group to support you." the acquisition of 10 billion large enterprises is absolutely inseparable from the lawyer's group and the accountant's group.

Mark pondered, "I am so interested in this matter because there is a possibility of success. I have a little secret to share with you."

The next morning, just at work, Megan came to mark's office with a coffee cup and asked, "does Sophia support this plan?"

Mark said, "I believe our results are the same."

Megan said: "they are all waiting for the guy egger to join, and then make a plan."

Mark said, "do you have the ability to make a plan to buy a 10 billion enterprise?"

Megan shrugged.

"So we need a professional manager with rich experience, ability and foresight," Mark said

Megan said, "fortunately, it's only three days."

Mark said: "the significance of a giant company is a giant, so it can be called a player. For example, Xinxian, Miramax and Pixar, Lucas film has done very well, but who would say they are Hollywood players? Of course, our debt pressure is also huge."

In the shopping mall, he only fears that he can't borrow money from the bank, not too much debt. Mark is a timid and cautious person. If the family is willing to borrow money, he is also bold to use it. He also knows that Sophia also wants to build her family into a rich family, which will humiliate the sisters who despise her. Moreover, there are two trumps, brother Gu and noodle book. What is the debt crisis he is afraid of, Dare to borrow, dare to spend?

To run a giant company, he will have experienced veterans to help him, and he is responsible for the production. Just an IP in the hands of Marvel film and television can make any giant company prosperous. Moreover, he is a God chosen person. With golden fingers, he will never fall into the pit when making a film. He is responsible for this piece and stuck here. He has such a huge advantage, Why dare not buy it? He is confident to manage it well, let it develop and grow, and have the opportunity to degenerate into Jackie Chan. Who will give up this opportunity?

As soon as mark heard egger's reminder, he couldn't control his ambition and decided to do his best to marry the torch goddess home and start turning the plan to practical operation. Mark said: "The reason why I am so enthusiastic about promoting this plan is that I have a trump card in my hand, which may be the key to our victory. Without this trump card, I really don't dare to promote it so enthusiastically."
