Chapter 451

The entry barrier for microblog social platforms is not too high.

Today, there are many competitors of Tweet in the industry. Compared with them, they only lack a little time and money, and there is not a big gap in technology.

Surrounded by powerful enemies outside, most of the internal executives and partners prefer to settle down as soon as possible. Therefore, Tweet's management team pretended to be calm and delayed until the deadline of two days before issuing a new report. Acquisition Agreement.

Not only did they increase the acquisition price to US$6 million, they also hoped to retain 10% of the equity in proportion and enjoy some preferential financing rights.

The reason for requesting priority financing rights is to avoid the continuous dilution of their shares with Suri's capital injection or external financing.

After obtaining the right to preferential financing, these people can freely choose whether to continue investing and maintain their shareholding proportion based on the performance of Tweet Company in the future.

When Suri learned the news, she was attending the opening ceremony of the new movie project "Bad Thief".

In order to complete this transaction as soon as possible.

He only allowed the founders of Tweet to choose one of two options: either accept an offer of US$5 million and hold 10% of the shares, or else they could take US$6 million and completely give up their continued shareholding.

The offer of US$6 million is already far higher than the market’s valuation of Tweet.

In fact, Suri hoped that they could get 6 million US dollars and work for him. However, the management of Tweet company accepted the acquisition plan of 5 million US dollars plus 10% retained equity.

If we take a longer-term view, these 10% shares should be worth at least two to three billion US dollars in the future.

but.

In order to successfully build a Tweet company, Suri will soon inject one or two hundred million US dollars into the project for the expansion and development of the project. The founders of Tweet may not necessarily follow suit by then.

Therefore, it is still difficult to say how much shares Suri will hold in the future.

……

After several days of digestion.

Suri had just gotten over the regret that Jessica had chosen to keep a distance from him, and even committed a crime against the odds, secretly meeting Barbara Palvin.

Anyway, Jessica would not take the initiative to reveal the news. When Barbara asked whether the scandal about him was true, Suri of course just said no, and once again used the same rhetoric that was targeted by competitors.

Several media giants have stopped pursuing the victory, mainly because they have no other dirty information about Suri for the time being, and people no longer care about the gossip about Suri and Jessica.

This does not mean a complete truce.

I believe that once there is negative news about Suri, the media giants will still be like African hyenas, rushing over to encircle and bite him as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is still very necessary to continue the plan of building your own social media platform.

Once he has a hugely influential media platform, whoever dares to provoke him in the future will be able to use the same means to retaliate against the culprit immediately, so that he will not suffer the consequences again and again.

No matter how much food is in the warehouse, you will inevitably feel uneasy when you encounter bandits. It is best to change to a powerful gun in time.

This is why Suri is willing to spend more money to convince Tweet shareholders for convenience.

If he starts his own business or supports other micro-blog social platforms, he will have to face an established competitor like Tweet in the future. It is better to directly win the industry leader in one step, which can save him a lot of time and energy.

At this moment.

The "Bad Thief" movie project successfully held its opening ceremony at the entrance of Netflix Studios in Hollywood. Suri learned that the founders of Tweet Company were willing to accept his offer. He handed the phone to secretary Amanda with satisfaction and reminded:

"If nothing happens, I will personally attend the signing ceremony. It is best to be high-profile this time and let several media giants know the cost of irritating me. By the way, I can also advertise the new project, and I will invite more celebrities. Go publish news on the Tweet platform, it would be great if we could acquire the Tweet company together.”

Secretary Amanda said with a smile:

"The expression on Mark Zuckerberg's face will definitely be very exciting. When it comes to issues of interest, you and he may not even be friends in the end."

"Xiao Zha and his circle are a bit involved. If we do not maintain an impartial attitude as a social platform, there may be backlash in the future. There is no need to consider these in the short term. The market share of smartphones will only get higher and higher. The share price has great potential.”

As soon as Suri finished speaking, the star and director of the "Bad Thief" project came to him to say hello.

In order to highlight his cool image, he gave the male lead role to Chris Hemsworth.

As the male lead of Marvel's "Thor" movie in his previous life, Chris is currently unknown. He took the initiative to hand his resume to the "Bad Thief" crew. After two rounds of interviews, he was discovered by Suri and was directly selected as the male lead.

The heroine role was given to Thalia.

She was born in Lanai. Not only does her image and temperament meet the requirements, she is also good at driving speedboats and surfing. Suri's surfing skills were taught by Miss Talia at the time.

Suri was worried about another scandal, so she attended events in public today and deliberately avoided Thalia.

The girl didn't think too deeply. At this moment, she came over with a smile on her face and told:

"Thank you again. I have watched many movies since I was a child. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to appear on the cinema screen."

Suri said:

"The script about challenging the limits and conquering nature has been brewing in my mind for a long time. When selecting the heroine, I thought of you first. The filming may be a bit troublesome, so you should be prepared first. Be careful not to get hurt.”

The original film "Bad Thief" was all shot with real people. During the filming, three stuntmen died, all of whom were among the world's top extreme sports enthusiasts.

The "Bad Thief" he invested in had relatively minor changes to the plot.

Although the priority is to use real-life shooting, if there is a very dangerous scene that cannot be captured, Suri does not mind using a little special effects.

Thalia nodded and continued:

"I was unable to complete the eight challenges in the script. The real danger should be the stand-in. The director said that the entire filming cycle of the film may be as long as two to three years. Its creativity is too exaggerated."

The so-called eight challenges are -

Extreme rafting on the Congo River, skydiving on Mount Everest, BASE jumping in Mexico's Swallow Cave, surfing in the Sea of ​​Cortez, downhill skiing in the Alps, wingsuiting in the Alps, free climbing at Angel Falls in Venezuela and back diving.

If an ordinary person can complete one of them, it will be enough to brag about for a lifetime. If you want to take pictures of them all, you can imagine the difficulty.

For the sake of box office, Suri plans to launch a new documentary-type program from the beginning of filming, and use Netflix Entertainment to help attract traffic. The preparation period will last two to three years.

Other movies always like to be secretive in order to prevent the plot from being leaked in advance.

As for "Bad Thief," Suri plans to do the opposite this time and use a documentary describing the difficult filming process to drive future box office revenue.

no way.

The group that loves extreme sports is relatively niche. Only by arousing people's appetite and constantly creating a topic can we avoid the investment budget of up to 1 million US dollars being wasted...
