My wife always wants me, a big star, to eat soft rice

Chapter 149 Brief Negotiation
After hearing what the company employees said, Zhang Shubin was stunned for a moment, then he quickly sat up from the bed, and asked, "Who is that company?"

After hearing Zhang Shubin's question, the little girl at the front desk looked at Zhao Xue'an and asked, "Sir, which company does our chairman ask you from?"

Zhao Xue'an raised his voice and replied, "Tianmeng Company, Charlotte is worried that this movie was made by our company. Oh, by the way, the chairman of our company is the son-in-law of the chairman of Shiyue Group."

After Zhao Xuean finished speaking, Zhang Shubin got up from the bed and said while preparing to get dressed, "Let him wait a moment, I will come to the company right away."

Zhao Xuean deliberately raised the volume just now to let Zhang Shubin hear what he said, and he directly brought out Lu Ming's identity to attract Zhang Shubin's attention.

After Zhang Shubin hung up the phone, he quickly got dressed, didn't even eat breakfast, and drove to the company by car.

After he hung up the phone, the little girl at the front desk said to Zhao Xuean: "Sir, please wait a moment, our boss will be here soon."

Zhao Xuean said with a smile: "Okay."

Afterwards, the little girl brought Zhao Xuean to the reception room and made him a pot of tea.

About half an hour later, Zhang Shubin came to the company.

After entering the company, he went straight to the reception room. Zhao Xuean was drinking tea at this time. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, and then looked up at Zhang Shubin.

Afterwards, Zhao Xue'an got up from his seat, walked straight to Zhang Shubin, stretched out his hand and said, "You must be Boss Zhang."

Before Zhao Xuean came to Tianming Film and Television, he took a look at the company website of Tianming Film and Television, so he was familiar with Zhang Shubin and could recognize him at a glance.

After Zhao Xuean reached out his hand, Zhang Shubin immediately extended his hand, and the two shook hands.

"It's me, I don't know what your name is sir?"

Zhao Xuean introduced himself and said: "My name is Zhao Xuean, and I am the person in charge of the production department of Tianmeng Company."

Hearing this, Zhang Shubin felt a little confused. Tianmeng Company was talking about acquisitions, why did they find a person in charge of the production department?
Although he was confused, Zhang Shubin didn't think too much about it. As long as someone is willing to take over Tianming Film and Television, everything else doesn't matter.

Zhang Shubin said: "Mr. Zhao, please sit down, let's talk while drinking tea."

"it is good."

Then the two came to the tea table and sat down.

Zhang Shubin took the initiative to exchange a cup of tea for Zhao Xuean, and asked while pouring tea, "Mr. Zhao, you just said on the phone that Charlotte was worried that this movie was made by your company?"

Zhao Xuean replied: "Yes, it is indeed produced by our company."

After hearing Zhao Xue'an's answer, Zhang Shubin thought to himself, to be able to invite the great director Xu Mulin, and to be able to make such a popular movie, it seems that Tianmeng Company is not easy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shubin's brain paused. This person just said on the phone that the chairman of Tianmeng Company is the son-in-law of the chairman of Shiyue Group. It doesn't seem strange to be able to make such an excellent movie. After all, Shiyue Group so many resources.

If you think about it this way, Tianmeng Company's acquisition of Tianming Film and Television is actually no different from Shiyue Group's acquisition of Tianming Film and Television?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shubin couldn't help thinking, could Tianming Film and Television be saved?
At this time, Zhao Xue'an said: "Boss Zhang, it seems that there are not many people in your company. Is it because you have a rest today? Or are they all resigned?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shubin came back to his senses, and he replied: "Mr. Zhao, you should also know the situation of our company. Our company can no longer support so many people, so most of the employees have already left."

Zhao Xuean said: "Oh, so it is like this."

"Then let's not talk about other things, let's get straight to the point. Our Tianmeng Company plans to acquire Tianming Film and Television. The purchase price is [-] million yuan. What do you think?"

After hearing Zhao Xuean's quotation, Zhang Shubin was stunned for a moment.

Although he knew that Tianming Film and Television would not be able to sell at a good price, [-] million yuan was too little. Tianming Film and Television had accumulated more than [-] million copyrights over the years. Of course, the copyrights of Tianming Film and Television dramas were bought back then. Perpetual copyright, going back to more than ten years ago, copyright was not very valuable, and the copyright of a TV series could be bought for hundreds of thousands, unlike today's copyright of a TV series, which has casually reached tens of millions.

Zhang Shubin said: "Mr. Zhao, isn't [-] million a little too little?"

Zhao Xuean said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, two hundred million is quite a lot. You should be aware of your company's situation. If no one buys Tianming Film and Television, the final outcome of Tianming Film and Television will only go bankrupt."

"Nowadays, the film and television industry has entered a capital winter, and not many big capitals are willing to come in. In addition, the video playback platforms of Shiyue Group and Haile Group have formed a two-point monopoly. No one is willing to take over Tianming Film and Television."

"Most of the users of Tianming Film and Television are probably also users of the video playback platforms under the Haile Group and the Joy Group. Such users are of no use to the Joy Group."

Zhao Xue'an is a smart man. He knew how to use Shiyue Group as a cover to make Zhang Shubin think that Shiyue Group wanted to acquire Tianming Film and Television.

Tianming Film and Television is of no value to Shiyue Group, and you shouldn't spend too much money to buy something worthless. If the price is too high, Shiyue Group will naturally not be willing to buy it again.

Of course, this is just a small trick when negotiating business.

Zhang Shubin thought about it, Tianming Film and Television is indeed not of much use to Shiyue Group, I am afraid that Shiyue Group wants to acquire Tianming Film and Television, mainly for the purpose of having an additional video playback platform, or to transform Tianming Film and Television, and build Tianming Film and Television To become another video playback platform, just like the video sharing platform he once wanted to transform Tianming Film and Television into.

If it's the Shiyue Group, they are fully capable of successfully transforming it. After all, the Shiyue Group has money, and they can afford it.

However, [-] million is indeed too little, which is far below his psychological expectations.

Zhang Shubin then said: "Mr. Zhao, [-] million is really a bit small. The film and television copyright accumulated by Tianming Film and Television is more than [-] million."

Zhao Xuean took a sip of tea, and then said: "Boss Zhang, the film and television copyrights you bought back then are probably not worth [-] million yuan. I guess no one will watch those film and television dramas. If the copyrights of your film and television dramas are really valuable If not, you would have sold it long ago.”

Hearing Zhao Xuean's words, Zhang Shubin sighed helplessly in his heart. Indeed, the copyrights of those film and television dramas are not worth much in this day and age. The content of previous film and television dramas is outdated, and people's preferences have changed a lot.

Zhang Shubin said at this time: "Can you give me a few days to think about it?"

Zhang Shubin is a little entangled now. He actually knows that Tianming Film and Television is worthless, but he also feels that it is a bit of a loss to sell it for [-] million yuan. However, he is actually very willing to sell Tianming Film and Television to Shiyue Group. In his view, as long as Shiyue Group takes over Tianming Film and Television, it won't take long for Tianming Film and Television to revive.

Seeing what Zhang Shubin said, Zhao Xuean stood up directly, then took out his business card and put it on the table, and said, "Okay, Boss Zhang, you should think about it first, this is my business card, if you are willing to sell Tianming Film and Television , you can call me anytime."

"I'm going back today."

Acquisition of a company is not something that can be settled right away. There are a lot of games to play, and delaying time is one of them. However, Zhao Xuean believes that Tianming Film and Television will not delay for too long. After all, Tianming Film and Television cannot delay it. If it goes on, if it drags on, the final outcome of Tianming Film and Television will only be bankruptcy.

For Zhang Shubin, instead of letting Tianming Film and Television go bankrupt, it is better to sell it directly. Although it is only [-] million, [-] million is not a lot for a person. Zhao Xuean believes that Zhang Shubin will make the right choice.

Zhang Shubin also stood up at this time.

"Boss Zhao, go slowly."

Afterwards, Zhang Shubin sent Zhao Xuean away from Tianming Film and Television.

After Zhao Xuean left, Zhang Shubin returned to his office. He sat on his boss chair and looked at his entire office, feeling filled with emotion.

When he was the boss in the past, he was very prosperous. Seven years ago, their company was worth billions. At that time, there was still capital willing to invest in them. As a result, he was young and frivolous and refused to agree. Now his company is worth [-] million.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shubin sighed again and again. If he had agreed, Tianming Film and Television would not have died so quickly.

Just when Zhang Shubin regretted that he didn't let other capital invest in the stock, his assistant walked in.

"Zhang Dong, someone from Xinghui Media is looking for you, and it seems that they also want to talk to you about the acquisition."

Hearing this, Zhang Shubin was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, besides Tianmeng Company, there were people willing to acquire Tianming Film and Television.

Then he said, "Take him to the reception room immediately, and I'll be right over."

His assistant said, "He's already in the reception room."

Zhang Shubin hurriedly arranged his clothes, and then walked towards the reception room.

After entering the reception room, Zhang Shubin took a look at the visitor, and then said, "Sir, what's your name?"

Tang Feng stood up and said, "Hi, my name is Tang Feng, and I'm the general manager of Star Media."

Zhang Shubin said: "President Tang, please sit down."

After the words fell, the two sat down, and Zhang Shubin took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Tang Feng.

Tang Feng asked with a smile on his face: "Zhang Dong, you should know why I came to you, right?"

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "Of course, you plan to acquire Tianming Film and Television, right?"

Tang Feng said: "Since Mr. Zhang already knows the purpose of my coming to you, let's get straight to the point."

"Zhang Dong, make an offer."

Hearing Tang Feng's words, Zhang Shubin thought for a while, then showed five fingers, and said, "This number."

Although Zhang Shubin wants to ask for a higher price, he knows very well in his heart that today's Tianming Film and Television is worth at most [-] million. Even if he asks for a higher price, the other party will suppress the price, which is meaningless.

After seeing Zhang Shubin's quotation, Tang Feng smiled, and said, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this number too much? Our company can offer up to [-] million."

Zhang Shubin was stunned for a moment. Why is the price of one company lower than that of the other company? The previous Tianmeng company offered a price of 1000 million yuan, but this one directly asked for [-] million yuan. However, and they still have more than [-] million users, it is not useless at all.

Zhang Shubin said: "Mr. Tang, your price is too low. Our Tianming Film and Television spent more than [-] million yuan to buy film and television copyrights."

Tang Feng said lightly: "Zhang Dong, you should be very clear in your heart that the film and television copyrights you bought before are no longer worth much, and your company has no assets other than the value of those online users. not enough."

Zhang Shubin said: "[-] million is really too little, Mr. Tang, why not add a little more, [-] million, if I remember correctly, the parent company behind your star media is Haile Group, Haile Group is so rich , it’s not short of three hundred million, right?”

After all, Haile Group is a large company with hundreds of billions of assets. Their company has a lot of money. When they invest in movies, they always spend hundreds of millions, and billions are burned in it. In the end, they are so stingy when they buy a company, and they are only willing to take one. It's a bit insulting.

After hearing Zhang Shubin's words, Tang Feng smiled, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, no matter how rich our parent company is, it's not a waste of money."

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Your company is only worth this price at present. If we raise the price to buy you Tianming Film and Television, won't the shareholders of Haile Group think that we deliberately gave you money? We can't explain it. .”

"A company worth only [-] million yuan, but we spent [-] million yuan to acquire it. I'm afraid those shareholders will suspect me of corruption. I can't afford such a big crime."

This……

Zhang Shubin's brain was startled. Hearing what Tang Feng said, the price is no longer negotiable?

Zhang Shubin continued: "Mr. Tang, is there no room for the price to go up?"

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Yes, but not more than 2000 million."

Zhang Shubin sighed, and then said: "Mr. Tang, can you give me two days before I can think about it."

Tang Feng said: "Okay, I hope Director Zhang can make a decision as soon as possible. You have to know that there are very few capitals willing to take over the video broadcasting website nowadays."

Speaking of this, Tang Feng took out his business card, put it on the table, and continued: "This is my business card. If you are ready to sell Tianming Film and Television, please call me immediately."

Zhang Shubin said: "Okay, I understand."

Immediately, Tang Feng got up and left the reception room. After sending Tang Feng away, Zhang Shubin returned to his office again.

His mood was a little complicated. He didn't expect that one company's quotation was lower than that of another company.

If it is delayed for a few more days, after Tianming Film and Television can't even pay the employees' salaries, their prices will probably be even lower.

Zhang Shubin sighed heavily, then took out Zhao Xuean's business card, thinking about it.

Forget it, [-] million is [-] million, and he will be relieved if he sells it earlier.

There's no need to drag it all the time, it's uncomfortable to drag him, maybe sold to Shiyue Group, Tianming Film and Television can get a new life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shubin directly called Zhao Xuean.
