Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

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

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 didn't stop at all, and said the third condition again, "The third one, nothing else, is my personal request. I hope that Mr. Yang Chen will become 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 very difficult to find someone to invest in. It is rare that someone is willing to pay a high price for a share.

3000 million US dollars and [-]% of the shares, judging from the development history of CAA's later generations, it is naturally nothing.

But as far as the present is concerned, ordinary investors will never spend more than several times the market value of a company to invest in a company without any real assets.

To put it bluntly, a brokerage company is maintained by a contract. It is established today and may be closed tomorrow at any time. It has no real assets. Once the company closes down, there will be no hair left in the end.

The investment risk factor is too high. Except for the eight major Hollywood film companies, who will pay higher than the market price to buy shares due to 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 choice.

The capital game is the most unbearable temptation. Once the eight major companies are given even the slightest chance, they will use any means at that time to make the founders of Michael Ovitz collapse and swallow CAA alive. 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. This allows Michael Ovitz to accept his funds without any scruples.

At the same time, Yang Chen is not a pure businessman. Michael Ovitz understands that Yang Chen owns a TV station in Xiangjiang, the place known as Eastern Hollywood.

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

Yang Chen took the coffee from Lan Meiren, took a sip, and then asked Michael Ovitz with a smile, "Mr. Michael Ovitz, do you think CAA's current market value can be worth [-] million US dollars?"

"No." Michael Ovitz didn't hesitate at all.

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

Michael Ovitz said very seriously: "There is a saying in the East, 'there is always a thousand-mile horse, but Bole does not often have it', I think CAA is a thousand-mile horse that can really travel thousands of miles a day, if Mr. Yang Chen If it is Bole, then it will definitely invest.”

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

Michael Ovitz: "Ordinary businessmen are naturally like this, but as far as I know, there used to be a wealthy man in your east. His name was Lu Buwei. The biggest deal in his life was for him to buy from a businessman. , become a prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand..."

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

Yang Chen didn't speak, and watched Michael Ovitz pretending to be aggressive in front of him to his heart's content. Not to mention, this guy deserves to be a person who can lead CAA to rise all the way. This lip service is absolutely necessary.

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

Think about Superman Li, the second son of Li Chaoren in the future, because he sold Penguin shares, he became the subject of countless people's jokes.

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

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

Just make him sick first.

"Mr. Michael Ovitz, let's stop here today. In the next two days, I will seriously consider whether to invest in CAA."

"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.

'Serve tea for guests'

See if this foreign devil in front of you really understands Chinese culture.

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

His lips moved, and he took a serious look at Yang Chen, seeing that Yang Chen really didn't seem interested in continuing the chat.

So, he picked up the remaining half cup of coffee on the table, drank it in one gulp, said goodbye and left.

Chapter 585 Prepare for future poaching (two chapters in one)

After Michael Ovitz left, Yang Chen got up, patted his butt, and walked outside.

There was no figure of Lin Qingxia outside, so Yang Chen asked the beautiful woman beside her, "Where did Qingxia go?"

Lan Meiren: "Sister Qingxia feels bored, Secretary Kaili took her downstairs."

"Then let's go down too." Yang Chen nodded, and glanced at Lan Meiren for a while. He always felt that there seemed to be some changes in the other party, but he couldn't tell.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it any more.

Walking to the stairs, Lan Meiren, who had been peeking at Yang Chen from time to time, couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Boss, isn't the matter settled?"

"Half-baked." Yang Chen raised his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth twitched faintly.

To be honest, at this time, if he puts out 3000 million US dollars to invest in CAA, someone may scold him behind his back.

Michael Ovitz's big mouth is not unrelated to his lack of foundation in Hollywood.

However, it is precisely because he has no foundation in Hollywood that the other party is willing to let him take a stake in CAA and give up his position as a major shareholder.

You can't have both.

Yang Chen has nothing to be dissatisfied with being able to get [-]% of CAA's shares and the status of a major shareholder.

'Half-baked? 'Lan Meiren's face is confused, what does this mean? Does it have anything to do with whether things are done or not?

Seeing her appearance, Yang Chen didn't explain, and let her little head think and guess.

The success of CAA lies in its success in catching those rich people who want to enter the film industry but don't know anything about money.

As long as the rich people cooperate with CAA, they only need to do two things, one is to set up a film company, and the other is to provide the filming funds.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand movies, just pick a script that you like, or make up a short story by yourself, and then the screenwriters of CAA will write a script that satisfies you.

As long as the money is enough, whether it's in front of the stage or behind the scenes, actors or directors, investors don't need to intervene, CAA will do its best to serve everything in place.

As long as you enter the film circle and cooperate with CAA, then you don't have to worry about not being able to make a movie, let alone not being able to hire the star director you want.

Losing money or not losing money is another thing, CAA's move is a great opportunity for laymen to get involved in Hollywood.

It is precisely because of the emergence of CAA that in the 90s, countless film companies appeared in Hollywood.

The rapid rise of CAA was in the early years of the 80s. Relying on the signed star directors in hand, they harvested investors' funds and won the support of countless wealthy people.

After this village, there is no such shop.

Once Yang Chen misses this opportunity to invest in CAA, it won't take long, at most a year, when CAA catches its breath, let alone 3000 million US dollars, even if it is [-] million US dollars, don't even think about getting [-]% of the shares and the status of major shareholder .

Since the 80s, CAA's integrated package service has completely changed the traditional Hollywood shooting mode.
