This man knows how to hype

Chapter 625 Very Surprised
Inside the office.

After hearing Xu Xiyu's question, Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "To be honest, Donglianfu bought those shares from us before.

In order to ensure the control of Wanda Pictures, we signed a contract with Donglianfu, which stipulated that we had the first right to repurchase the shares held by Donglianfu.

A lot of things happened during this period. I don't need to go into details about them. You must know them better than me. Anyway, my father and I know that these shares will eventually fall into your hands.

As for whether other people know about it... we don't know, but I guess not many people know about it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiyu tapped the table twice and didn't say anything else. Instead, he motioned for Zhou Zhou to continue.

Zhou Zhou received the signal and continued, "Boss Xu, my family, team and I all know that with your personality, you will definitely not just take this 8.26% and become the third largest shareholder.

You must want to take control of Wan Da Pictures, and we don't want to conflict with you over the control, which would result in a lose-lose situation for both sides. So, we decided to sell the control.

This way, you, a professional, can lead the development of Wanda Pictures, and we can just keep the 10.21% stake held by our Zhou family partnership."

As mentioned before, there are 1 shareholders with a shareholding of more than 8% in Wanda Pictures, of which 3 are banks and 1 is a social security fund, and their shareholding ratio does not exceed 2%;

This means that there are only four shareholders who actually control the company.

Among these four, the largest shareholder is Jingcheng Wanta Investment Co., Ltd., referred to as "Jingwan Investment", which holds 4% of the shares;

The second largest shareholder is Zhou's partnership, which holds 10.21%, a considerable portion of which are restricted tradable shares;

The third largest is Donglianfu, accounting for 8.26%;

The fourth largest is Hangzhou Zhenzhong Investment, holding 6.19%;

If Xu Xiyu took over the combined 28.26% shares of Donglianfu and Jingwantou, he would have an absolute advantage in the board of directors, and the shares of other shareholders combined would not be as much as his.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Then what price are you going to sell it for? Or, how do you want to sell it?"

Currently, the market value of Wanda Pictures is more than 20 billion yuan. Based on the stock price, this % will be more than billion yuan.

More than 4 billion yuan of funds is a considerable pressure for Xu Xiyu.

“There are two options. First, you acquire 51% of the shares of Beijing Wantou and gain actual control of Beijing Wantou, thereby indirectly controlling 20% ​​of the shares of Wanda Pictures.

The 51% stake of Beijing Wantou is valued at 21.26 billion yuan. This price is the market price we calculated. It will not be higher, but lower. "Zhou Zhou did not beat around the bush, but spoke directly.

"What about the second option?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously.

"I heard that you are setting up the Earth Star Culture Group which includes companies such as Xuejian, Little Moss, Ivy, Parallel Heavy Color, and Binary Shadow.

If that is the case, you can pay 10 billion plus 5% of the shares of Dixing Group, and use the cash plus shares method to acquire 100% of the shares of Jingwan Investment. "

"10 billion plus 5%? That means using 5% of the shares of Dixing Group to offset 30 billion?" Xu Xiyu muttered while tapping the table. According to Zhou Zhou's calculation, the current valuation of Dixing Group on their side was 600 billion.

The valuation of 600 billion is not low at the moment. After all, the market value of Wanda Pictures is only 200 billion.

However, Xu Xiyu is aiming to build Dixing Culture to the level of Disney. Disney’s current market value is 2044 billion, and it is in US dollars.

If China can achieve its revival as planned, then as a pioneer in the entertainment industry, as long as we proceed steadily and steadily, our market value will sooner or later skyrocket at a certain point in time.

It is not cost-effective to exchange 5% of the shares in this way.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, let me let my investment team discuss it with you in detail. What do you think? We have to settle the accounts as well."

"That's for sure." Zhou Zhou didn't rush Xu Xiyu to give an answer, but he still asked, "Excuse me, which plan do you prefer?"

"The first one." Xu Xiyu answered without any hesitation. If the problem can be solved with money, don't give shares. Any shares given out casually now will be a landmine for the future.

After hearing this answer, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up. In his opinion, choosing the first option of purchasing with cash proved that Xu Xiyu's valuation of 5% of Dixing Culture's shares was higher than 30 billion.

If someone else made such an estimate, Zhou Zhou would feel that he was living in a dream.

But if it was Xu Xiyu... Zhou Zhou said, "Boss Xu, actually, there is a third plan."

"Oh?"

"Do you know about Wan Da theme parks? The largest one is in your hometown, Nanchang."

"I know. I heard it was pretty good. It's a pity I couldn't go." Xu Xiyu laughed.

"Your Binary Shadow and Parallel Color will produce countless excellent IPs in the future. Regarding the secondary development of these IPs, instead of cooperating with Happy Valley and other scenic spots in a scattered manner, it would be better for you to concentrate on it yourself. Don't you think this makes sense?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiyu stopped tapping the table and looked at Zhou Zhou in surprise.

Zhou Zhou saw what Xu Xiyu was surprised about and said bluntly: "We can also sell the controlling rights of this sector to you and let you become the majority shareholder. I believe your team is much stronger than our bunch of parasites..."

"This is how you evaluate your team..." Xu Xiyu laughed.

"Mr. Xu, my father holds the same opinion. He had high hopes for the Wanda Theme Park, but the results were not as expected." Zhou Zhou interrupted.

The office fell into a long silence following Zhou Zhou's interruption. The news came too suddenly and Xu Xiyu needed to think about it.

Liu Dayong, who was far away in Canada, was also silent. However, his wife was furious at this time. She smashed things and yelled hysterically: "Xu Xiyu, this bastard, went back on his word and broke his promise!!"

"We clearly did everything he said, but Yu Tao was extradited. What is this? Is he playing a trick on us?"

"Liu Dayong! Why are you playing so stupid? You are a well-known person in China, and you always boast about how great you are. Why are you silent now? Huh?!"

The noisy voices continued to ring out, giving Liu Dayong a splitting headache. He finally couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "Shut up!"

"I shut up? If keeping silent can bring Yu Tao back, I can keep silent for a year, three years, or even five years!"

"Liu Dayong, I'm telling you, if you have the guts, don't go after me, go after Xu Xiyu, call that bastard and ask him why he broke his promise, then hit him! Are you afraid to hit him?!"

"Hit me if you want." Liu Dayong was also provoked by him. He took out his cell phone and called Xu Xiyu.

This phone call just broke the silence in Xu Xiyu's office.

Xu Xiyu looked at the caller ID on his phone and instantly realized something. He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Zhou on the other side. After thinking for a second, he chose to answer the call in front of Zhou Zhou.

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Dayong's furious voice was heard in the receiver: "Xu Xiyu, what do you mean? I did everything you said, but Yu Tao has been extradited now. What do you mean?"

"You are already old, so please think before you speak, okay?" Xu Xiyu said in a neutral tone.

"you!"

"If you had thought about it, you wouldn't have asked me these questions." Xu Xiyu hung up the phone directly after saying this. There was no way he would say anything more to Liu Dayong that would "provoke accusations".

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiyu looked at Zhou Zhou who was a little curious on the other side and threw the phone on the table with a smile: "It's Liu Dayong's call."

"Liu...Liu Dayong?" Zhou Zhou was stunned, with some surprise in his tone.

"Yes, this guy asked me why Liu Yutao was extradited. Don't you think this question is absurd? He broke the law and wanted to get away with it. He must be dreaming." Xu Xiyu said deliberately.

"What did you say, Liu Yutao was extradited?!!!" When Zhou Zhou heard this, his body, which was originally leaning on the sofa, instantly straightened up.

Obviously, this news had a huge impact on him. After all, in the minds of people like Liu Yutao and Zhou Zhou, if something goes wrong, running abroad is considered "safe".

Now Xu Xiyu told him that Liu Yutao had been arrested?

Combined with previous rumors and public opinion, Zhou Zhou looked at Xu Xiyu with more and more surprise.

And this surprise spread to all the small circles in the capital an hour later.

"Damn, did you hear that Liu Yutao was arrested?"

"Ah? Really fake?"

"Really? I just asked around. He's on a plane now. I think he'll land tomorrow morning."

"No, this guy can be arrested? Didn't a video of Liu Dayong spread online before, saying that Liu Yutao was directing and acting in a smear campaign with DI? Isn't he living a very cool life?"

"It is because of this that I told you that Zhou Zhou revealed that Liu Yutao was arrested and handed over by someone Xu Xiyu hired overseas."

"Xu Xiyu?"

"Yes, think about it, when Liu Yutao was in China, he teamed up with Ling Yi to blackmail Xu Xiyu, but Ling Yi died, Ling Siming went to jail, and Liu Yutao and his father Liu Dayong ran away quickly.

Logically speaking, since he had already run away, everything should be fine. But Liu Yutao was not happy. He thought he could rest assured after running away. He insisted on making trouble and first spread rumors that Xu Xiyu had children with five women.

Then he directed and acted with DI's people, saying that Xu Xiyu's fans kidnapped him. If you were Xu Xiyu, would you tolerate such repeated provocations? "

"So, Xu Xiyu hired someone to arrest him overseas?"

"Yes, that's right. Everyone knows Zhou Zhou. He has the most and most accurate gossip. This matter is highly credible."

"Oh my god! According to this, if I offend Xu Xiyu, I can't escape even if I run overseas?"

"As expected, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. The guy named Xu is such a damn unlucky guy. Whoever gets involved with him will be unlucky. Don't mess with him. Stay away from him if you see him next time."

In the small circle, rumors are flying everywhere, saying all kinds of things, but no matter what, the core of the topic is always the three words "Xu Xiyu".

Just like that, a night passed, and early the next morning, Liu Yutao was taken away in handcuffs by relevant personnel from the Beijing airport.

This news was also spread online.

For a moment, the entire Internet exploded.

Because, just in these few days, at the instruction of Han Xizhu, the head of DI China, a bunch of internet trolls made all kinds of ridicules.

What are you saying? [Let people like Liu Dayong and Liu Yutao jump around and make trouble, but you can't do anything about them. It's really a shame]

Now is the time to slap them in the face.
