Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 144: Absolute holding

"Then quickly contract and build it into Jurassic Park as soon as possible, where our movie will be shot!!!" Henry said. In fact, if it weren't for the distance, Henry would go to Australia and New Zealand to buy islands. The islands there can be bought and sold, and private individuals can legally own them!

Bobby Robin nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange it right away!"

"Where is Hasbro?"

"This company is currently profitable, and the company's board of directors does not accept the invitation to takeover!"

"Doesn't accept the acquisition invitation? That is to say, there is no need to talk about it!" Henry frowned. Hasbro was founded in Rhode Island in 1923 and went public in 1968, and officially changed its name to "Hasbro". This company, like Cisco, is also undergoing crazy acquisitions. From its establishment to the present, no less than a hundred companies have been acquired! One of the most famous is that after the acquisition of Wonderful Bailey in 1984, Hasbro became the world's largest toy company! ! !

Currently, Hasbro has many well-known brands such as Transformers, Special Forces, and Star Wars!

Faced with such a large company, if it does not accept the acquisition, Henry will have a headache!

Just set up a toy company by yourself. You have "Jurassic Park", "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings" and other brands, enough to make your toy company a giant in the toy industry! Henry thought about it, and decided to abandon the acquisition of Hasbro and set up a toy company by himself.

Therefore, Henry said to Bobby Robin: "Since Hasbro does not accept the acquisition, then we will establish a toy company by ourselves, and the company will be linked to Galaxy Entertainment Holdings, waiting for the movie "Jurassic Park" After the screening, dinosaur toys will be released!!!"

"Yes!" Bobby Robin nodded.

"This time, there is one more thing to inform you. The movie "Leaves of a Deserted Island" will use the imdb online booking system for the first time. It is unclear how many screens are scheduled for screening. However. I will try my best. Let "Remains of a Deserted Island" get four thousand screens. If the response is good after the release, the number of screens will continue to increase!!!" Henry said, "This time, we will let Warner Pictures take a good look and reduce the " What a stupid decision will be the number of screens in "Remains of a Deserted Island"! I am still confident about this movie!!!"

Upon hearing this, Bobby Robin's face glowed red, and Warner Pictures' arrogant attitude. He has had enough, "This farmer turns over and sings", he must hit Warner's face to be cool! ! !

"Chairman, "Remaining on a Deserted Island" will surely win the box office!!!"

Henry looked at his excited expression and shook his head, not calm at all.

For the movie "Remains of a Deserted Island", Henry must make it popular in the United States. Only in this way can we better promote Nicholas Express! To some extent, this is an image propaganda film of Nicholas Express. How can you take it lightly?

...

...

imdb once again initiated an acquisition from the theater chain, and proposed to acquire the theater chain for US$800 million! After imdb's digging the foot of the wall, the theater line is already falling apart. The imdb website is full of sincerity. US$800 million is definitely much higher than the current market value of the theater! Henry doesn't want to waste time with the cinema anymore, sell it and sell it, forget it if you don't sell it! Great, build more theaters by yourself! ! !

Cinemas is an established company. Self-built cinemas occupy the best position. Among the 50 most profitable cinemas in the United States, cinemas owned by cinemas account for almost one-half! However, the market is sluggish, and there is still no use. It is not like a Chinese theater. It has almost been sublimated to not only a cinema, but a symbol of honor!

The theater company faces 800 million US dollars. My heart is shaken even more! At the board meeting, nothing more. A large proportion of shareholders still insist on not selling!

imdb has eyeliners inserted in the theaters, and imdb knows everything about the theaters!

"Can you get an absolute controlling stake?" Henry frowned and asked.

Marcy Filimont thought for a while and said: "Through buying and wooing, it may be possible to get more than 50% of the shares, but if we bid higher, we can definitely achieve absolute control!!!"

"Well, that's it. Spend some money to acquire absolute controlling rights, and then reorganize to dilute the shares of other shareholders. In addition, change the name of the company to reduce the influence of the original theater company’s management on the company and create a new one. The corporate culture and brand power!!!" Henry ordered.

"understand!!!"

Henry sat on the sofa, drank a cup of coffee, and asked casually: "How many cinema chains or independent theaters are willing to join the online booking system?"

"At present, ten cinema chains are willing to join, and there are only 80 independent cinemas, and there are almost 300 cinemas in total!"

"How many pieces are there on the screen?"

"More than three thousand yuan!"

"It's a bit less..." Henry frowned slightly. "After the completion of the acquisition of theaters, contact these theaters or independent theaters, and we will open the online booking system for the first time to show "Leaves of a Deserted Island". If you are willing to cooperate, we will show it. A movie! At the same time, other theater companies should also see how powerful the online booking system is!!!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, imdb directly gathered people who were willing to sell shares in the theater company. Among them, there were only two major shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares, and the other five held 3% to 8% of the shares. Henry met them personally at imdb.

Henry didn’t talk nonsense, and straight to the point: “Hello shareholders of the department and company! I’ll just say it straightforwardly. If you come here, I’m going to buy the shares in your hands. If you sell it, you will have a premium of 2%. If you don’t sell it, , Imdb will abandon the acquisition of the theater!!!"

Everyone looked at each other, whispered to each other, and discussed in a low voice.

"Give you five minutes to think about it!" Henry said, stood up, walked out of the conference room, and when he walked out the door, he turned his head and said calmly: "By the way, if today's acquisition is not successful, then imdb will rob the theater. To join the theater..."

When Henry said this, there was a deep threat. The expressions of all the people on the spot changed!

"Think slowly!"

When Henry finished speaking, he went out, closing the door by the way. At this time, a fierce discussion broke out in the conference room! ! !

"What do you think? Silas, what do you think?"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses who looked very wise and gentleman analyzed: "Sell it anyway!!! Look at this situation, imdb is determined to acquire, and if the acquisition fails, it will be necessary. Dig the wall and force us to submit! If we do not sell, our shares will inevitably shrink!"

"Yes, Silas is right. If you don't sell it, the shares will not be as valuable as before!"

Silas stroked the glasses and said, "I wanted to sell it originally, but I wanted to sell it more expensive. However, looking at it this way, it is unlikely! In fact, the premium of 2% is already pretty good... After that, the shares shrank strongly!!!"

"Well, that's right!"

"Then everyone sell it!"

"Okay, then sell it!"

"..."

Five minutes later ~lightnovelpub.net~ Henry walked into the meeting room again.

"How are everyone's considerations!" Henry asked faintly after sitting down.

"We have negotiated and agreed to sell the shares!"

Henry heard the words and smiled slightly, "Very well, then prepare to sign the contract and transfer the shares!"

An hour later, the shareholders left imdb one after another, and imdb completed the absolute holding in lightning speed, holding 54% of the shares! ! !

After a while, Marcy Filimont walked to Henry and whispered: "Chairman, Silas is back..."

"Well, prepare a check for two million dollars for him. When the shareholders discussed and discussed just now, he did pretty well!!!"

"Got it!!!"

Massifilimeng responded and walked out of Henry's office... (ps: all kinds of requests... subscription, monthly pass, reward, recommendation)
