Chapter 1147: Spend money lobbying for an award to com

Taylor laughed. If it were him, he would definitely not let go of the 15% stake in Tunyong Electric.

Moreover, Boyin and Grumman shareholders can only be blamed for being late.

No, it should be said that these two companies underestimated Li Changheng's ability, and the determination of Morgan Stanley to win over Li Changheng.

Otherwise, since Li Changheng took over Citigroup more than two years ago, Boyin had plenty of time and opportunities to bring him closer to the company's board of directors.

Grumman can also use more than 5% of the shares to really tie him up.

But now, the two companies can only watch their God of Wealth being dragged away by their competitors.

"Don't worry, BOSS," Taylor smiled, "I believe Boyin and Grumman are more worried that you will shift your energy and work focus to the barrel electrical.

Even, as long as you can give the idea of ​​making the two companies soar in the stock market, maybe they are willing to support you to take control of their own company's board of directors. "

Li Changheng's heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head within a few seconds.

Li Changheng was really moved by the opportunity to get more shares in Boyin and Grumman, but he also knew it in his heart.

The safest thing to do at this time is to digest the recent achievements with peace of mind.

Anyway, there are opportunities in the future.

But Taylor's words also made him understand that his focus must always be on the circle of Citigroup.

Frowning and thinking about it, he suddenly said to Taylor, "I plan to change to a 747 as a private jet, and the budget for buying the plane and decoration is 40 million US dollars.

If Annie is satisfied when the plane is delivered, maybe we will give up using the yacht when we go on our honeymoon, and instead fly the plane around the world for our honeymoon trip. "

"God, congratulations, boss."

"Thanks."

After some compliments, Taylor, who calmed down, pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up and he understood.

With Li Changheng and Annie personally advertising, the sales of 747 in the field of private jets have swept the entire rich circle, not to mention.

At least the desert tyrants who have become richer, as well as the new super rich like Frank, will definitely choose 747.

Moreover, people of Li Changheng's status and power all went off to help Boyin advertise in person, which can be regarded as giving Boyin enough face, which should make the dissatisfied voices there much less.

-----

During the chat between Li Changheng and Taylor, Frank and Nasser's lawyers finally settled the contract and the legal issues before signing.

In the end, Citigroup was valued at 30.5 billion, and Frank exchanged Belford's shares for 2.6% of Citigroup's shares.

Nasser, because Citigroup agreed with him to add some money, and privately promised to help Citigroup get 10 million barrels of crude oil every year, in exchange for 2.4% of the shares.

And this matter has already been confirmed by the board of directors.

The sum of the two people's shares just reached the critical point of 5%. After all the board members voted, they became new members of the board of directors without accident.

Of course, there must be only one position, and it was Frank who got the voting rights of Nasser's shares and entered the board of directors.

Nasser was not dissatisfied with this, not to mention that the two had discussed this matter with Li Changheng before, and Nasser is not a US citizen, so he is not suitable to join the board of directors.

In the subsequent press conference, Li Changheng not only did not hide behind the scenes, but also personally helped the two stand on the stage.

Because of Belford's investment company, even if he didn't stand up, the outside world would recognize them as members of his family.

In this case, it is better to clearly tell the outside world that Frank is his own.

As for Nasser, it can only be said to be an ally.

At the banquet in the evening, Li Changheng rejected Frank's proposal to go to the carnival, and only had time to think about it when he was driving home. When signing the contract in the afternoon, Taylor told him the news.

It has been 4 months since Roman Holiday was released, and the box office has broken through 400 million, 500 million, reaching 730 million US dollars.

Although countless records have been broken, the box office in the last one or two months may have been unsatisfactory due to the rapid publicity at the beginning.

The box office reached 366 million U.S. dollars in the first month. This kind of large-scale exposure publicity model is basically not used by any film company in this era, because the required publicity expenses are too high.

Li Changheng only used the bombing to make the movie famous all over the world without spending any money.

But this has also led to excessive consumption of box office potential, which means that all potential audiences for several months are drawn into the cinema in one month.

If Richard Wilton hadn't taken advantage of it in the second month, the box office probably wouldn't even reach 200 million.

No surprises in the third month, the box office was halfway down.

Up to now, the global box office every week is basically more than 10 million.

If you work hard, breaking 800 million should not be a big problem.

And what Taylor told himself had nothing to do with the box office, but with the Oscars.

Perhaps because he was a vice president at Boyin, sold airplanes all the year round, and dealt with powerful people, Taylor is very familiar with the lobbying system and is willing to use this model to achieve his goals.

So Taylor's suggestion, like that of a fat man named Harvey in the future, is to play tricks to get in touch with the Oscar judges in advance.

Because there are no discs in this era, it is impossible to do the same thing as Ha Wei, and add some small gifts to the films that were first selected for the Oscars and mail them to the judges.

Deepen the judges' impression of the film, and hint that there will be rewards after the fact.

But Taylor suggested that a dozen small and medium-sized funds, for reasons such as convening practitioner seminars and fan meetings, take the judges around, and even bring them to Las Vegas for a few days. Same effect.

Even more direct and effective than Harvey.

Only the judges will know how many chips they exchanged when they left the Las Vegas hotel.

In this way, Roman Holiday will definitely be able to achieve a lot in the Oscars, and it is not impossible to even break the award-winning record.

Thinking of this, while Li Changheng was happy, he had to admit that there is really nothing wrong in the capital world, things that money can't handle.

The fat man who won Oscars because of running his own movies one after another ~lightnovelpub.net~ is the most direct example.

If not, then the money is not enough.

Of course, when Fatty Ha was unlucky, he also kicked Oscar off the altar and into the mud.

I plan to give Annie, who is making a movie for the first time, and Li Changheng, who has a perfect experience.

After returning home, she learned from the housekeeper, Meryl, that Anne was in the bedroom, so she didn't go upstairs directly.

Instead, he went into the study and called Mike Corleone on a secure satellite phone.

Moreover, Li Changheng did not intend to use the Caesars Hotel as a tool for the judges to win money, so as not to implicate the Caesars Hotel and the Corleone family in case of accidents in the future.

Besides, hundreds or thousands of judges were directly brought into the Caesars Hotel, even though it took several months during this period.

But careful people can still find some clues.
