Chapter 903: The Celestial Beings Also Need to Do Business

On the streets of New York at night, Hermès staff drove the car, and Little John and Xiangyang accompanied them.

In the car behind, Ding Zhong was also whispering his views with Bi Shaffer.

From the attitude Xiangyang displayed when the two parties separated, it was difficult to judge what he was thinking specifically.

So, looking at Xiangyang looking out the car window, Little John couldn't help but say:
"Xiang, it seems these guys are not easy to deal with."

Xiangyang nodded, agreeing with this statement.

The fact that Oaktree Capital wants to acquire 20% of the shares of the new DMG Media by assisting in this merger is not the main point.

The key is that $8000 million only gets you 80% of the shares in the end.

And Oak Capital.

However, they can continue to suck blood from DMG Media without spending a single penny.

really
The vultures on Wall Street are very good at calculating.

I'd rather hit the ball straight. I'm afraid you won't be able to tell.

"Shafer, contact Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas." Xiang Yang made a decision quickly.

Even if Oaktree Capital is commissioned to initiate the acquisition, it must be based on the "Asset Appraisal Report" approved by him.

Rather than what Oaktree Capital offers.

I am sorry to say that even if VisionChina Media commissions a professional investment bank to produce an evaluation report on DMG Media, Xiangyang will not accept it.

Whether the income approach or the market approach is used for valuation, premium is difficult to avoid.

Xiangyang will not fall for the same trick that VisionChina Media has already been fooled by.

To put it simply, it can also be understood that Xiangyang had the idea of ​​gambling with Oaktree Capital's offer of a target worth US$100 million for DMG Media.

One hundred million dollars for 100% of the shares, he could accept it.

But I'm sorry, it takes 8000% of the shares for 80 million.

From a business perspective, these are two completely different concepts.

"Mr. Ding, I'm afraid I have to delay your time." Xiang Yang apologized to Mr. Ding when he entered the hotel.

This matter may be delayed for a long time.

"No hurry, no hurry." Ding Zhong waved his hand.

He also understands the ins and outs of this.

"Wait a minute." Little John suddenly took out his cell phone and called Xiang Yang and Ding Zhong who were about to go upstairs.

What was displayed on the screen was a call from Sony Pictures, one of the producers of "Resident Evil 5".

The intention of calling at this time is very clear.

"You answer it first, we'll wait for you in the room." Xiangyang looked at Little John expressionlessly, then pulled Ding Zhong into the arriving elevator.

Bi Shaffer snorted with contempt.

She has the same attitude as Xiangyang.

I told you not to show off in Hollywood. You see, when something really happens, you will be the first person they look for.

"I said."

Little John, who was left behind by several people, looked at the slowly closing elevator door and cried out in speechlessness.

Didn't you let me contact the creative team of "Resident Evil 5" to contribute to FILA's subsequent brand marketing?
Lao Ding, why did you leave too?
Returning to the room about ten minutes later than Xiangyang and the others, Little John shrugged helplessly when he came in, "Xiang, they want to meet with you."

"Them? Who are you talking about?" Xiang Yang asked knowingly.

"Someone from DMG Media." Little John glanced at Xiang Yang, "Who else could it be?"

Xiang Yang said "Oh" and smiled: "Then you didn't tell them that I was busy?"

He had no interest in meeting Xiao Wuge, Wu Bing, and that American named Dan at this time.

Not now, and not in the future.

"How about you go and meet him?" Xiangyang asked with a smile, holding a bag in his hand.

Little John was immediately furious.

He rushed to Yang and yelled at the top of his voice: "Why!"

"Uh" Xiangyang blinked, yes, why?

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiangyang took out the bottle of 1992 Screaming Eagle Winery Cabernet Sauvignon from the bag.

He took it out, not to drink it today.

After all, Tom Hiddleston and Curly haven’t arrived yet, but when I came up just now, I talked about this wine with Ding Zhong, so I let my friends appreciate it in advance.

"Where did you get this wine?" Little John asked with sharp eyes.

It only took him a second to recognize this expensive cult wine, which was rated 99 at the time.

As for whether this Cabernet Sauvignon is really worth $50.

It depends on the angle from which you look at it.

This wine is not worth even half a million dollars at an auction organized under the banner of charity.

Even $100 million is not impossible.

However, as the pinnacle of cult wine, its rarity is indeed quite high.

But this is not the point. Xiangyang, a guy who has never paid much attention to red wine, was able to get such a bottle of top-quality red wine.

this.
He wouldn't have bought a fake one.

Little John took two steps forward while trying to take the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from his friend and take a closer look.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Yang, who was prepared, handed it to Ding Zhong.

"Hey, Xiang, if you're willing to open it and let me taste it tonight, I can help you with this." Rubbing his hands together, Little John smiled and offered his courtesy.

"I'm afraid not today." Xiang Yang shook his head, "But I will definitely invite you when we drink."

"Really?"

Little John swallowed.

Ding Zhong knows about red wine.

Little John, who had met him several times and discussed wine with him several times, guessed something when he saw that he couldn't help but praise the almost perfect preservation of the wine.

"But that's not necessarily the case. After all, you yelled at me just now, which made me very sad." Xiang Yang patted his friend's shoulder and said:
"You know, I put a lot of effort into getting this bottle of red wine."

"." Little John smiled awkwardly.

That must be very difficult.

He had rarely been to JCE's wine cellar since he was a child, and this bottle of wine was top-notch in his father's collection.

"Well, they will be here tomorrow night. If you fly back to Los Angeles tonight, maybe you can still have a drink if you come back tomorrow afternoon." Xiangyang continued.

"You" Little John was stunned.

Is this what people say?

No, this means they don't treat him as a human being at all.

"Don't bother." Bi Shafer, who had been looking for an opportunity to step on Little John, said:
"I still have one bottle. If you get the job done, I'll treat you to a drink."

Hearing this, Little John looked at Bi Shafer and Xiang Yang in surprise.

Is this wine given to Xiangyang by the little bee?
Where did she get so much money?

Well.
She does seem to be quite rich, plus his mother has earned some money from investing in movies.

It's not unreasonable to give Xiangyang a bottle of expensive red wine.

After all, Anna Wintour had previously given Liu Xixi an expensive movie poster.

correct
poster!

"Xiang, how about we talk about it?" In Little John's eyes, drinking a good friend's wine is different from drinking Bea Schaff's wine.

Little John didn't want to drink her bottle.

It was just a bottle of 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, it was not like he had never seen it before. His father still had a whole case of it in his cellar.

"How about I help you meet them and give you a poster of Metropolis as well as this bottle of wine?"

After estimating the price in his mind, Little John felt that the deal was doable.

With his current influence in Hollywood, the price of finding someone to connect him with Leo to buy the poster would definitely not be too outrageous.

And this wine.
He planned to take it home and drink it all in front of JCE.

The kind that comes in a whole bottle.

Let JCE see what generosity is.

"Haha, ok! No problem!" Xiangyang was so happy that he went crazy.

What about such a good thing?
You know, my wife has wasted a lot of brain cells on decorating the walls of the castle.

I think she will like this gift.

"Then I will..." Little John glanced at Ding Zhong who was still admiring the red wine.

"Once you finish your work first, I'll prepare another bottle for you." Xiang Yang didn't intend to use this bottle of red wine as an exchange.

I still have 4 bottles at home.

"Do you have any more?" Little John frowned. He felt that something seemed a little strange.

"I'll buy it for you." Xiang Yang suppressed his laughter, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if this wine is expensive, I can always buy it if I want."

"That's true." Little John nodded. Xiangyang would not lie for a bottle of wine.

"Then I..." Little John took out his cell phone and smiled.

Xiangyang waved his hand, "Go ahead, remember to deal with it as soon as possible, and don't let them cause us any trouble."

He is not worried that DMG's iron triangle will cause trouble in the acquisition.

Instead, they do not want Hermès Film Investment's cooperation with Sony Pictures on the "Resident Evil 5" project to be affected.

After all, I have told Li Bingbing about it.

It would be so embarrassing to lose face over such a small matter.

"Okay, then it's a deal." Little John patted his friend's hand and said, "Boss Ding, you are here too, please be a witness for us."

As for Bea Schaffer.
Little John chose to deliberately ignore her existence.

"Haha, okay." Ding Zhong raised his head and smiled heartily.

I didn't expect that even though the first communication with Oaktree Capital did not produce satisfactory results, they could still joke around so easily.

This made him feel relieved.

What to say.

I thought it would be better to just continue watching the show.

Good show.

Of course there is.

Little John and Xiang Yang were completely different in their views on the tactics of confusing the public before the acquisition.

In his words, acquisition is acquisition, what's the point of being secretive? Too much concealment of one's own purpose will create an illusion, making the acquired party think that they are afraid of being disrupted.

Back in the room, he directly dialed the number sent to him by the people from Sony Pictures.

Dan Mitz.
Little John really didn't take this person seriously.

Faced with his frank admission, the DMG triangle was a little confused. What was going on?
No, if you want to acquire DMG Media, you can consult our opinion first!

Because they are very eager about this matter.

Waiting for the acquisition to be completed.

In the eyes of outsiders, isn't DMG Entertainment just a part of Hermès Film Investment Company's layout in China?
How many people care whether DMG Media and DMG Entertainment are related?

Then spend some money to buy some press releases to confuse the public online.
They were not the only three who were a little confused.

The next day, the top executives of VisionChina Media were also stunned when they saw the headline [Cross-border M&A? Hermès plans to acquire Hermès for US$8000 million in cash].

Han Sanping, who had just rushed back to Beijing from the Altay region, was also stunned.

Many netizens were also puzzled by this news which firmly dominated the front pages of the media.

What is DMG Media?
If you don't click on it carefully, you will find that not many netizens know about the existence of this company.

After watching it, I don't quite understand it.

However, many netizens said that it was only through this news that they learned that there is such an entertainment company.

"Brother Xiao Ming, don't worry, this won't affect her." Liu Qianqian was shooting a commercial in the capital.

Huang Xiaoming wanted to come and inquire about the specific situation and visit the class at the same time, but he couldn't avoid it.

What's more, Liu Qianqian didn't want to hide.

"Hey, Xixi, I'm sorry to trouble you." The smile on Huang Xiaoming's face was still a little awkward.

But if I don’t come, I really can’t do it.

Yang AB is making a fuss.

"Brother Xiao Ming, just tell her that it will definitely not affect her." Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled:

"I didn't realize that Brother Xiao Ming was so concerned about this."

"My relationship." Huang Xiaoming was speechless. How come Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian's relationship was so smooth and happy?

His relationship is so tiring.

However, he was more or less interested in the acquisition. To be honest with Liu Qianqian, he even bought some stocks of the company that Xiangyang was optimistic about.

It's just the wrong time to enter.

He just bought Tesla and it started to fall.

The rate of return is completely inferior to Liu Xixi's amazing operation.

To be specific, it was a complete blast.

Even though Liu Xixi's Tesla stock has declined, she still has more than half of the profit thanks to the perfect purchase timing.

For Huang Xiaoming, the earnings are red (green indicates an increase in the US stock market).

Although, as he had communicated with Xiangyang on the stock market, he knew that Xiangyang must have asked Liu Qianqian to buy the stock, but given their relationship, it was not a matter of words to say who bought it.

But at the dinner table, when talking about the specific matters of the acquisition, Liu Qianqian said, "Brother Xiaoming, I really don't know much about this."

She really doesn't know.

"Brother Xiao Ming, you know I don't like to get involved in this. I just want to film well."

"Then when will you join the crew? So I can pay you a formal visit." Huang Xiaoming asked with a smile.

"The specific time will probably have to wait until after the Spring Festival." Liu Qianqian calculated the time. She would participate in the promotion of "Time Traveler" throughout the whole process. "By the way, Brother Xiaoming, I just want to ask you something."

"Well, you said."

"You've participated in more variety shows than I have. Hey, can you tell me what to watch out for?"

Liu Qianqian asked with a smile.

"Me?" Huang Xiaoming laughed. He actually appeared on quite a few variety shows last year. Last year alone, he appeared on three episodes of "Happy Camp" to promote his work.

The movie starring Liu Xixi is about to be released.

It is indeed beneficial to appear on more variety shows during promotion.

The heat always needs to be stir-fried.

Whether it is a roadshow or a variety show, it is all to increase the exposure of the work. This is the same reason why Liu Qianqian has been running announcements intensively during this period.

Brands also want to seize this wave of popularity and carry out necessary marketing.

"Why, you want to be on that variety show?"

"Me~"

Liu Qianqian raised her lips and said, of course.
