I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 145 Acquiring a New Company

Cheng Ming couldn't figure it out, Mingming Chenyin hadn't completely stabilized in China yet, why Lu Chen planned to open a branch abroad again, what was he thinking.

"Lu Chen, are you kidding me?" Cheng Ming questioned.

Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen thought that he was a little reluctant, but in fact he was not, but he didn't mean that in his words, he just asked.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, your treatment abroad will definitely be better than Chenyin's, and your annual salary must not be a problem. Not only that, I can also give you 5.00% of Xingkong Culture's shares."

If you want others to do things for you, you have to give benefits, but if you want chickens to lay eggs, you don't want to eat them.

Cheng Ming said: "I don't mean that, I just think that Chenyin has not yet stabilized in China, why should it develop abroad, and the preferences of domestic and foreign audiences are different, it is more difficult for us to develop. "

Lu Chen stood up and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I know many well-known screenwriters abroad, and they will provide us with script resources. We only need to film."

Hearing this, Cheng Ming was even more puzzled. What is Lu Chen's identity? He actually knows many well-known foreign screenwriters?
Lu Chen went on to say: "You can come back whenever you want in the future, and the air tickets are all reimbursed by the company."

Cheng Ming came back to his senses, and then continued: "I don't care about these, I'm just curious why you suddenly thought of going abroad to start a company?"

Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "The situation in foreign countries is different from that in China. Our film and television companies here basically control the theaters. It is very easy for them to suppress us. Although we can bypass the blockade through online movie theaters, you can also You see, when those big film and television companies use their size to lower the ticket prices of online movies, we will also suffer, but this kind of thing will not exist in foreign countries. We only need to pay some money to foreign film associations, and everything will be fine. It’s easy to talk, and it’s time to use the money earned abroad to help domestic companies develop.”

Cheng Ming thought about it, and felt that what Lu Chen said made sense, but also felt a little naive.

In fact, the foreign market is basically saturated, otherwise Weilan Culture would not think about opening up the domestic market and opening a branch in China, and how can Lu Chen be [-]% sure that he will definitely be able to make money?In case of a loss, wouldn't it be a drag on Chenyin instead?

Cheng Ming continued to ask: "Have you really thought about it?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Think about it."

"Then do you plan to start a new company or acquire a company?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and replied, "Acquisition, I already have a goal, and I plan to go abroad to talk to them in a few days."

"If you are willing to go abroad to help me manage that company, I will take you with me then."

After all, Cheng Ming has been in China since he was a child, and he will definitely not get used to the new environment, so Lu Chen didn't force him.

Cheng Ming asked at this time: "If it is an acquisition, how about retaining the company's management? After all, if you let me be a foreigner to manage them, their original employees must not feel very comfortable, and we don't understand foreign companies. If the market is managed by themselves, it may be more conducive to the development of the company."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment.

The film and television company he was looking at was a small film and television company. This company had made a lot of rubbish movies before, including many copycat movies.

The name of this company is translated as Sunshine Film and Television. It is quite well-known in foreign countries. It is notorious. The big boss of their company originally started with pirated movies, and later they imitated some movies with relatively high box office. The film, although it is a copycat film, but others have survived until now.

However, in recent years, foreign countries have increasingly cracked down on counterfeit films. Many countries have enacted laws to protect genuine copies. Recently, several major foreign film and television companies joined forces to sue Sunshine Film and Television and fined them one billion yuan.

The boss of this company saw that there was no profit to be made, and he had offended so many people, so he wanted to withdraw, so he came up with the idea of ​​selling the company.

Aside from the character of the boss, this company still has some experience in making film and television dramas. After all, their company has existed for many years.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen said at this time: "We can let them manage it, but we still need a supervisor. How about you go abroad every once in a while? The company should still be in your charge?"

After all, it is a subsidiary company, and it is still so far away, so I am afraid that they will mess around, so I really need a supervisor.

Hearing that he will not be staying abroad for a long time, Cheng Ming immediately said: "Okay."

"But the company you plan to buy, can we Chenyin eat it?" Cheng Ming asked.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What I want to buy is Sunshine Movies and Television, do you think you can eat it?"

Hearing the words "Sunshine Film and Television", Cheng Ming was dumbfounded. Why did Lu Chen go to buy a company that makes counterfeit films?
This Sunshine Film and Television has offended many film and television companies abroad. Although it is not as miserable as Chenyin, they are also targeted by other big film and television companies everywhere.

"Lu Chen, do you want to think about it again?" Cheng Ming persuaded.

The reputation of Sunshine Film and Television is not very good. Buying them may have an impact on their film and television dramas.

Lu Chen replied: "No, I've been thinking about it for half a month."

Country W is the headquarters of the capital world, and in the capital world, a bad reputation is better than no reputation at all.

As long as you have money, everything is easy to talk about. The bad reputation of Sunshine Film and Television may not have a big impact on Sunshine Film and Television.

Seeing that Lu Chen had already said that, Cheng Ming stopped trying to persuade him, but said, "Alright then, I will go with you during the acquisition."

……

In the next few days, Lu Chen and Cheng Ming are preparing for the acquisition of Sunshine Film and Television. Before they intend to acquire the other party, they must first say hello to the other party, contact the other party, and conduct a preliminary negotiation on the price. talk about.

Lu Chen was a little worried that the big boss of Sunshine Film and Television would talk too much, and Chen Yin would not be able to accept the company because of this, but after hearing their initial quotation, Lu Chen was relieved.

The other party only asked for 20 billion yuan. After all, it was a company that made counterfeit films, so the big boss knew that if the price was too high, he would not be able to sell it.

20 billion is not very big for the size of this company, but it is still a bit expensive for Chenyin, after all, Chenyin is a company with debts.

In order to avoid being cheated, field visits are definitely needed, so Lu Chen and Cheng Ming flew to country W with a few people from the company, went to talk with the big boss of Sunshine Film and Television in person, and visited the company by the way.

After coming to Sunshine Film and Television, Lu Chen found that the company was indeed worth 20 billion yuan. The assets of this company were quite large, and they also had some subsidiaries. There were also some famous artists in the subsidiaries who were famous for making counterfeit films. It can cultivate artists, which shows that this company does have its uniqueness.

After the first round of negotiations, Chenyin and Sunshine Film and Television signed a letter of intent for the acquisition, but the purchase price remained unchanged at 20 billion.

Lu Chen and his company stayed in a hotel in country W for a few days, and then had a second round of negotiations with Sunshine Film and Television. In the end, they reached an agreement that Chenyin would acquire Sunshine Film and Television for 19 billion.
