"Brother, you are so nice!"

Tangtang pounced on Bai Ye.

Well, she felt that Bai Ye’s kindness was only a drop of kindness, and she could only repay him with a spring of gratitude.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The sky was turning pale, a fresh air was spreading over the world, and everything was so pure that it made people feel relaxed and happy.

The sun, full of hope, with red light, shot to the ground like a rocket, reflecting flames like boiling oil.

After Bai Ye dressed neatly, he came to the other side of the boat. Tangtang was half asleep and half awake. Bai Ye smiled, kissed Tangtang's smooth and delicate face gently, and whispered:

"I have something to do today, so I can't accompany you. You have to take care of yourself."

"Uh-huh!"

Tangtang, who was sleepy, rubbed her eyes and nodded.

She was so sleepy that she hardly slept the whole night.

She is a mortal being, not like Bai Ye, who has a body of steel and can always maintain a vigorous state.

"Also, I've sent the scripts for Spider-Man and The Hunger Games to your phone. You can take a look at them when you're free. If things go well in the next two days, a Mercury Media staff member will be in touch with you soon."

Bai Ye added.

When it comes to work, Tangtang is much more aware:

"I know, brother!"

"Goodbye then!"

Bai Ye patted Tangtang's head and turned to leave the bedroom.

Tangtang faced Bai Ye's back and shouted:

"Brother, you must be careful on the road."

Bai Ye made an OK gesture.

After leaving Tangtang's house, Bai Ye went straight to Kennedy Airport. He and Ikana had agreed that he would accompany her to Los Angeles today to resolve the acquisition case quickly and decisively.

Bai Ye didn't have the energy to wait patiently, because saving millions or tens of millions of dollars might take several months for an acquisition. He had to speed up and make Mercury Media famous before Tony returned to New York.

Otherwise, all kinds of monsters and demons will pop up in New York, making it hard to cope with them.

"coming."

Ikana was already waiting for him in the VIP lounge of the airport.

She was wearing a gray windbreaker and changed her inner layer to a white shirt, creating a color contrast.

A gray inner layer is worn under the white shirt, which not only keeps warm but also achieves the effect of "layering".

In order to reflect the overall "cool" feeling, a pure white belt is tied around the waist as embellishment. The two or three thin belts that fall down look like tassels from a distance, adding a touch of playfulness to the tough windbreaker.

She wore a pair of black shiny leather high heels, which matched the black bag in her hand, avoiding the overall top-heavy visual effect and making her look quite aggressive overall.

After all, we are preparing for business negotiations, so of course we have to show sharpness instead of playing with sweetness.

"You're here so early?"

Bai Ye smiled and sat next to Ikana.

"I went to bed early last night." Ikana glanced at Bai Ye and said, "Unlike some people, who didn't sleep the whole night, right?"

"No way! Don't slander me!"

Bai Ye refuted:

"And you know what, Ikana? I checked last night and your father is in Florida and he didn't call you at all. You lied to me!"

"Ah?"

This time it was Ikana's turn to be embarrassed.

When she saw Bai Ye eating so many oysters last night, she knew that she couldn't hold on any longer, so she thought of a way to have someone call her and ask her to go away so that she could land smoothly and softly.

I didn't expect Bai Ye to be so bored that he would investigate such a trivial matter...

"Okay, let's not make a fuss over such a small matter. The plane is about to take off."

Ikana didn't dare to provoke Bai Ye anymore and could only change the subject.

About ten minutes later, it was time for the plane to take off.

Sitting in the plane, watching the plane pass the runway and take off, Bai Ye looked down at Kennedy Airport below and shook his head:

"Who rides in a convertible without a helmet? What's the difference between that and not wearing a helmet while fishing?"

Santa Monica, California.

Summit Entertainment Headquarters.

"Mr. Osborne, Miss Ikana, please wait a moment. The coffee will be delivered soon."

Summit Entertainment's Chairman Patrick Wattsberg and CEO Rob Freeman are warmly welcoming Bai Ye and Ikana.

The two must have informed Summit Entertainment before coming, instead of coming here rashly.

"I won't drink the coffee." Bai Ye said straight to the point: "Chairman Patrick, Osborne wants to acquire Summit Entertainment and enter Hollywood. Name your price!"

Patrick didn't expect Bai Ye to be so direct. After a moment's pause, he smiled and said:

"Summit Entertainment welcomes all investors to join this big family. If Osborne is willing to invest in Summit Entertainment, I will be happy to accept it."

Summit Entertainment is a very good mid-sized company, valued at around $3 million, and is currently operating very well.

But the head effect works in all industries.

The smaller the company, the harder it is to grow.

If Summit Entertainment can flourish with the help of Osborne and make the pie bigger, only a fool would refuse.

"Chairman Patrick, I wonder if there was any error in the communication." Bai Ye didn't buy his words and said, "Osborne is planning to acquire Summit Entertainment, not inject capital. Let me put it bluntly, Osborne is willing to acquire Summit Entertainment at a valuation of US$3.5 million."

The valuation of US$3.5 million definitely exceeds the value of Summit Entertainment itself and has a certain premium.

But Bai Ye doesn't care. He cares more about the cost of his time rather than the mere tens of millions of dollars in money.

It would not be a problem at all to acquire Summit Entertainment faster, with less hassle and by paying more.

The smile on Patrick's face froze. After a while, he chose his words carefully:

"Thank you Mr. Osborne for your appreciation of Summit Entertainment. It is our honor. But I'm sorry... Summit Entertainment currently has no plans to sell."

When Patrick and two friends co-founded Summit Entertainment, they had their own ambitions, which was to make a career in Hollywood rather than just making some quick money and leaving.

He has put a lot of effort into Summit Entertainment, so how could he bear to sell the company all of a sudden?

Of course, Patrick was unwilling to break off relations with a tycoon like Osborne:

"However, if Osborne is willing to invest in Summit Entertainment, I can give up my position as the major shareholder."

In the equity structure of Summit Entertainment, Patrick holds 40% of the shares and is the company's largest shareholder, while the other two friends each hold 30% of the shares.

As a major shareholder, he is basically the actual controller of a company. If he hands over the position of major shareholder, Patrick believes that he and his two friends can advance and retreat together and still suppress Osborne, and Summit Entertainment will still be his.

--Before this, Patrick received news that Osborne was indeed preparing to acquire Summit Entertainment, but he thought about it over and over all night last night, and he realized that he did not want to sell Summit Entertainment. He enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight of Hollywood, calling the shots, and living a life of coming and going with Hollywood stars and dignitaries. Now, he can no longer let go of all that and turning around to do some real business is too tiring and too undignified.

"Major shareholder? Haha..."

Bai Ye directly threw out a document:

"Take a look first."

Patrick took it and looked at it puzzledly, and saw that it was a share transfer statement. Another shareholder of Summit Entertainment, Bob Hayward, was willing to transfer 3.5% of his shares to Mercury Media at a valuation of US$30 million.

Bai Ye is not just talking nonsense and rashly acquiring Summit Entertainment. After deciding to acquire Summit Entertainment, he began to collect information about the three shareholders of Summit Entertainment and started to make plans. Now he comes here because it is the harvest season and he wants to pick the sweet fruits. Otherwise, he would not have made a wasted trip to Los Angeles. Does he really think he has a lot of free time?

"Chairman Patrick, you consider Summit Entertainment as your own business, but others may not think so." Bai Ye said with a smile, "In addition to Summit Entertainment, Bob Hayward is also engaged in medical device-related businesses. Unfortunately, Osborne is the world's largest medical and pharmaceutical company. I just helped him get to know the general manager of Osborne's California branch, and he was willing to transfer his shares of Summit Entertainment to me."

Patrick took a deep breath. He was a little angry. At the beginning, the three of them had agreed to advance and retreat together and jointly create a place for themselves in Hollywood. Now that his career has not been successful, someone has backed out and stabbed him in the back. How could he not be angry?

Damn it!

Even if you are attracted by the conditions offered by the other party because of your own business, can you please tell me before you sell me out?

As a result, now I have been caught off guard!

"Mr. Osborne, I can only say congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Summit Entertainment, but I will not sell the shares I hold." Patrick said very firmly: "The 30% shares in your hands are of no use at all!"

"Is it really useless?" Bai Ye smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Patrick, haven't you heard your good friend David Garrett complaining recently that his capital chain is very tight? Many commercial banks say that he has financial problems and are unwilling to lend him money. He even wants to go overseas to find banks to borrow money."

"It was you, Osborne, who informed those banks not to lend money to David?" Patrick's mind raced, and he reacted instantly, staring at Bai Ye angrily: "Isn't it too despicable for you to do this?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You need evidence to do things. Be careful of getting sued if you slander me." Bai Ye smiled and said, "I think that by now, the head of Wells Fargo's Los Angeles region should have found David Garrett who is willing to lend him a loan..."

Before Bai Ye finished speaking, the cell phone on his table rang.

Bai Ye took it and looked at it, then smiled:

"Mr. David Garrett has just signed the share transfer agreement for Summit Entertainment. Chairman Patrick, I am now the major shareholder of Summit Entertainment."

"Since all shareholders are here, I propose that we hold a shareholders' meeting to elect a new chairman of Summit Entertainment. I propose that I serve as the new chairman of Summit Entertainment. Those who agree, please raise your hands... Well, with more than 60% of the votes, I am now the chairman of Summit Entertainment."

In just a few seconds, the new chairman of Summit Entertainment was elected.

Bai Ye straightened his clothes, stood up, and was about to take his position, but he glanced at Patrick who was still sitting still, and said in surprise: "Mr. Patrick, why are you sitting in my seat?"

Patrick: “…”

"Okay, sign this share transfer book now." Bai Ye threw the document to Patrick again and said, "If you refuse to sign, I may not be able to do anything to you, but now the control of Summit Entertainment is in my hands. Next, I will inject a large amount of capital into Summit Entertainment. Will you follow me? I think you don't have the capital to invest with me. Then your shares will be diluted. Why bother? Even in the next ten years, Summit Entertainment will no longer distribute dividends. Without this money, will the capital chain of your other businesses be in trouble? Sign it!"

Patrick was silent for a while, then reached out and picked up the pen. His hand trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally signed the equity transfer document.

He really couldn't afford the consequences of Summit Entertainment not paying dividends for ten years.

"mean!"

He threw the pen down and looked at Bai Ye fiercely:

"You're a back-stabbing bastard!"

"Nonsense, who said I only know how to stab people in the back?"

Bai Ye looked at Patrick with dissatisfaction, then looked at Ikana:

"I've stabbed quite a few people in person, right?"

Well, the kind where a dry knife goes in and a wet knife comes out…

Ikana: “…”

I recommend a new book by a master of quality, "Xiu Xian: I am a human, not a human race"

Chapter 91 Spider-Woman VS Vulture

An acquisition worth hundreds of millions of dollars was completed in a short time.

Ikana, who was sitting next to him, looked at Bai Ye with a strange look in her beautiful eyes, because Bai Ye looked so handsome with his calm and composed look.

To be honest, before coming here, Ikana always thought that she would be the main force in this negotiation, and even if Bai Ye was willing to spend money, it would take a lot of time, at least a week.

But unexpectedly, Bai Ye came out and took care of it himself.

That handsome and indifferent profile, that domineering aura, made Ikana feel hot all over, and she couldn't help but feel wet, yes, her eyes were wet.

She couldn't help but think of an ancient Chinese poem: How can the water be so clear? It is because it comes from fresh water from the source.

Summit Entertainment's CEO Rob Freeman looked a little embarrassed when he saw former chairman Patrick Wattsberg slamming the door and leaving.

You know, he had just been moved by Patrick Watzberg's sincerity and had poached him from Paramount not long ago. Now Patrick Watzberg is gone, so what should he do?

You won’t be fired, right?

Bai Ye glanced at Ikana.

While looking at Bai Ye, Ikana quickly came to her senses and remembered her duties. She coughed to cover up the embarrassment of her infatuation.

"Mr. Rob Lehman, please rest assured that after Mercury Media takes over Summit Entertainment, we have no plans for large-scale layoffs. On the contrary, Summit Entertainment is not the end of Mercury Media. We will recruit a large number of people and expand our scale in the future."

"Before acquiring Summit Entertainment, we had already investigated your resume. You did an excellent job as the CEO of Paramount, and Mr. Patrick just valued you and poached you to come to Summit Entertainment. We at Mercury Media value talent even more than Patrick does."
