Chapter 853: Scandal with Anne Hathaway

Standing outside the box, Anne Hathaway, Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, etc., whether they are big stars or powerful figures in Hollywood, they could not imagine at this time that in the conversation in the box, the high-ranking people The content of the conversation between the new emperor of Disney and a newly arrived "little rich man" was almost beyond their imagination:
The new emperor kept making various tempting suggestions, including shares of the largest entertainment giant Disney, and said countless friendly words, but Li Yue only said "sorry" or showed "embarrassment" or "hesitation" from beginning to end. "Waiting attitude.

This is the benefit of abundant cash flow, and Li Yue also enjoyed the treatment he deserved for the first time in the beautiful country.

However, in the face of Li Yue's perfunctory, even Robert Iger couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, and finally had to ask: "So, according to Mr. Li's opinion, Disney can only compete with PLAY Entertainment and raise the bar." The purchase price of [-]th Century Fox?”

"of course not!"

Li Yue immediately rejected it. At this time, he felt that the heat was almost over, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Robert Egger's suggestions are actually very good, but for PLAY Entertainment, what we want more is the influence in media and entertainment. force."

"From this perspective, even if we fail to acquire [-]th Century Fox in the end, as long as PLAY Entertainment can obtain these, my goal will be achieved..."

Robert Iger looked slightly moved and asked, "Do you mean to support Disney's acquisition of [-]th Century Fox?"

Li Yue squinted his eyes and decisively threw out a honey wrapped in a trap: "You can think so, but in the end, the successful acquisition cannot be Disney, or it needs to go through a process. For example, PLAY Entertainment can jointly invest with Disney. The ratio of funds between the two parties is around 50%, and the specifics can be negotiated. A foundation will be established with this fund, and then the fund will be used to acquire [-]th Century Fox. Well, in addition, I have an unkind request, that is me You need to be president of the foundation, that’s the bottom line.”

Any business negotiation is extremely difficult and needs to satisfy the different interests of both parties. However, this does not exist for Li Yue because he has a system that can make many complex things simple:
If Robert Egger agrees to this condition, then no matter how much the two parties ultimately invest, or who occupies a larger share in the foundation, as long as Li Yue is the head of the foundation, the conditions for using the "loyalty card" will be met. What needs to be done next, you can refer to Wilson-Lee.

This is Li Yue's trump card. For some things that money can't do, he also has system assistance!

And this trap is impossible for anyone to discover. At most, they will find it strange and lament Li Yue's habit of acting as the head of the company. However, in modern European and American economic societies, many company CEOs and chairman of the board cannot actually completely arbitrarily determine the key points of the company. decision making.

Sure enough, Robert Iger narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a hint of excitement, and asked tentatively: "What is your company's valuation of [-]th Century Fox? How much money do you expect to spend on the acquisition?"

Li Yue replied sincerely: "Twentieth Century Fox's performance has declined in recent years, and its valuation is almost US$200 billion. If we cannot reach an agreement with Disney, we will spend US$400 billion to acquire it at a premium."

In "history", Disney successfully acquired 450th Century Fox two years later for a price of US$[-] billion. After deducting inflation and other factors, it was almost this figure.

Robert Egger was silent. He was somewhat doubtful whether Li Yue could come up with such a huge sum of money. However, as a big boss of Disney, he had his own intelligence channels and naturally knew something about Li Yue. It was astonishingly big. Of course, this was also the reason why he would personally meet and negotiate with Li Yue.

Li Yue struck while the iron was hot and continued: "If the two parties form a foundation, PLAY Group can invest 250 billion, accounting for half of the share, while if Disney only invests 200 billion, after the final acquisition is completed, the remaining funds will be allocated to the foundation fund pool in proportion. middle……"

Disney is short of 50 billion!
Robert Iger felt his heart pounding. If he spent less than half the price, he could get one of the six coveted companies. As long as the acquisition of [-]th Century Fox is completed, Disney will completely form a trend. The remaining four major production companies can only work together to keep Disney warm.

As the most well-known manager and boss in the United States, Robert Iger did not behave strangely, but continued to test: "The naming rights of the foundation can be given to Mr. Li, and the chairmanship of the board of directors can also be held by Mr. Li, but whether Disney Can we spend 50 billion more to get more shares? Just 5%, how about that?"

If the transaction is completed at a purchase price of 400 billion, the extra 50 billion can account for at least 10% of the share, but this is 50% of the controlling stake of more than 5%, which is no small matter.

“Yes, the specific share can be negotiated by the team below, but we can discuss our respective shares of the foundation now, such as 55% for Disney and 45% for PLAY Group. This is something that can be settled. "

Faced with the huge concession, Li Yue barely hesitated and nodded in agreement. This made Robert Egger think that he was dreaming for a while. After about a minute, he stood up excitedly and reached out to Li Yue: " Thank you Mr. Li for your concession and wish us a happy cooperation."

Generally speaking, after a major negotiation process is achieved, the other party's concessions will not be mentioned. This is an internationally accepted face issue, but Robert Egger is too happy, and this is what he really thinks.

Li Yue just smiled implicitly, shook hands with Robert Iger, and then the two of them walked out of the box together.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Robert Egger smiled reservedly and praised Li Yue: "Mr. Li Yue is one of the best operators I have ever seen. His ideas about the entertainment industry are amazing. He is very similar to Li Yue. I benefited a lot from his communication..."

A lot of complimentary words came out of the mouth of the new Disney emperor, which once made the subordinates around him feel like they were dreaming.

Finally, he announced: "Starting today, Disney has established a special department specifically responsible for cooperation with PLAY Group. We are about to reach a strategic partnership with PLAY Group. Both parties will work together to complete a great cause."

As for the specific business, it will naturally not be announced before the acquisition plan is carried out.

No one would know that the acquisition plan for a behemoth like Twentieth Century Fox was launched in a private room of a restaurant. After the two parties separated, Anne Hathaway deliberately stayed, just as she greeted Li Yue and held Li Yue in her arms. Yue's arm, he asked curiously as he walked: "It's really unimaginable that a person like Robert would praise a new competitor in the industry so much. Li, how did you do it?"

Li Yue could clearly feel the change in the attitude of this world-famous actress. When she was in New York, she had almost no sense of Li Yue's identity and just made an insincere proposal. After that, perhaps because of the Li Haixin case She took the initiative to lead this meeting, gave the gift of "Red Queen", and finalized the "cooperation" with Li Yue, so she was very enthusiastic about Li Yue.

But the previous enthusiasm was still not as good as the current attitude, which was enthusiastic with humility, curious and seductive, completely showing his charming side to Li Yue.

Feeling the touch of Anne Hathaway's touching towering figure on her arms, even Li Yue's heart skipped a beat because of the aura of the other person's identity.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Anne Hathaway's slender waist, and smiled: "Although this is a secret, why don't you think Robert is telling the truth?"

Anne Hathaway was stunned, covered her mouth and smiled: "Indeed, you should have such a talent. After all, Li, you are the media tycoon who created the great business empire of Nuo."

He was still laughing in the first half, but turned serious in the second half.

"click"

At the same time, Li Yue vaguely heard the sound of pressing the shutter. His physical fitness was extremely high, and the weak sound might be far away. He turned around and looked around, and then with sharp eyes he found someone hiding on a pillar next to the restaurant. A pair of paparazzi on the side.Anne Hathaway followed Li Yue's gaze and saw the paparazzi. Her expression changed slightly and she asked softly: "It seems that I have been discovered. Can I leave first?"

"Isn't he yours?" Li Yue asked, and before Anne Hathaway could answer, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you are willing, I don't mind if there are any scandals."

Although there is no evidence, Li Yue firmly believes that these paparazzi are the people called by the Hollywood beauty in front of him, or the news she leaked. Her contract with the agency is about to expire, and she urgently needs to carry out a series of operations to stimulate her popularity. , worth.

"Really? Li, you are such a charming man!"

Anne Hathaway turned around and stood in front of Li Yue, holding his collar with both hands, as if she was helping him arrange his clothes, and said in an extremely ambiguous manner and tone.

Needless to say, the paparazzi behind will definitely seize the opportunity to take pictures.

Li Yue didn't care about this. He put his arm around the slender waist of the Hollywood actress, and even lowered his head, almost close to Anne Hathaway's pretty face, and whispered: "Anne, you are a charming woman, stunning in every aspect." People's hearts are beating..."

"really?"

Instead of ducking and retreating, Anne Hathaway raised her head, her red lips almost touching Li Yue's mouth: "Then..."

"Boom~"

When a man is in love and a woman is interested, Li Yue naturally knows what to do...

After a long kiss, Anne Hathaway leaned into Li Yue's arms and was hugged by Li Yue. The two got into a sports car he drove today and left immediately.

Almost a few minutes later, these photos appeared on social networks. Some media organized and uploaded these photos with the title "Shocking Scandal, Anne Hathaway and Li Yue", and attached very instructive copywriting. In an instant, During this time, melon-eating friends gathered and moved:

"Anne Hathaway, oh my goddess!"

"Annie has such bad taste that she actually likes Li Yue!"

"Li Yue is a super rich man. Aren't Hollywood female stars and super rich men a perfect match?"

"It's hard to find any kind of rich man. It feels incredible to be committed to an Asian like Li Yue."

"No matter what, as her fan, I can only choose to wish..."

Perhaps it is because there are too many scandals about Hollywood stars. North American fans or fans are still relatively rational. Basically, they do not make too violent remarks. They are all discussing the scandals. More people find it a bit novel. After all, Li Yue is Chinese, and the case of Li Haixin caused a huge wave of public opinion some time ago. Now that he is hooked up with Anne Hathaway, it will inevitably attract attention.

Soon, PLAY Group issued an announcement through its official Twitter, "refuting the rumors": "Mr. Li Yue and Miss Anne Hathaway are good friends. The reason why they are together is entirely due to work reasons: they are discussing Miss Anne. Matters related to signing a contract with PLAY Entertainment.”

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted more people to watch. Anne Hathaway is a top Hollywood movie star with extremely high profile. She actually wants to sign a contract with PLAY Entertainment?This will naturally arouse the interest of most people, and some even think that this will create a sky-high signing number.

The rapid fermentation of public opinion on the Internet is naturally inseparable from the promoters behind it. Moreover, the PLAY Group is also very cooperative in focusing the traffic paying attention to this matter to where it is needed.

"CAA's agent called me and hoped to renegotiate my contract renewal. WMA and ICM also sent messages again, saying that they changed the conditions for the contract... These are all your credit. Thank you, Li Yue. "

Outside a mansion in Beverly Hills, the sports car stopped. Anne Hathaway smiled charmingly at Li Yue and thanked her.

Li Yue accepted the thanks as he should, and responded: "The signing of the contract will not be so smooth. There will be many twists and turns in the follow-up negotiation process. PLAY Group will continue to cooperate with you..."

"Okay, then, do you want to go in and sit down? This is my residence in Los Angeles, but because it has been exposed to the public for a long time, I don't often live here."

Anne-Hathaway glanced at the mansion in front of her. It is located in the center of Beverly Hills, and it is even more expensive than the few mansions that Li Yue bought. However, from the outside, it seems that Li Yue did not buy it. The mansion has a large area.

"You mean, there are always paparazzi here? So, if I go down now, will the scandal get bigger?"

Although he said this, Li Yue still followed Annie out of the car.

"Are you scared?" Annie smiled and stretched out her hand to Li Yue.

"A gentleman would not be afraid of entering Anne's house, no matter how great the risk."

Li Yue grabbed Annie's little hand and took the initiative to step forward into the mansion. At this time, paparazzi naturally discovered Li Yue's sports car and had already set up a "spear gun" in the distance.

That night, Li Yue simply stayed in Anne Hathaway's mansion...
