Chapter 1147: Spend money to lobby for an award back

Remember [New] for a second,! Tyler laughed, and he would definitely not let go of the 15% stake in Bucket Electric.

And, it's only Boyin and Grumman's shareholders who are to blame for being late.

No, it should be said that these two companies despised Li Changheng's ability, as well as the determination of the Dalmore family to win over Li Changheng.

Otherwise, in the more than two years since Li Changheng took over at Citi, Bo Yin had the time and opportunity to draw him closer to the company's board of directors.

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

But now, the two companies can only watch their **** of wealth be pulled away by their competitors.

"Don't worry, boss", Tyler smiled, "I believe Boyin and Grumman are more worried that you will shift your energy and focus to the electrics for the barrels.

Even if you can come up with an idea for two companies to make a big jump in the stock market, maybe they will be willing to support you to take control of their own company's board of directors. "

Li Changheng's heart moved, but he shook his head after a few seconds.

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

The safest way at this time is to digest the achievements of the recent period 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 in the circle of Citi.

After frowning for a while, he suddenly said to Taylor, "I plan to use a 747 as a private jet, and I have a budget of 40 million US dollars to buy the plane and decorate it.

When the plane is delivered, if Annie is satisfied, maybe we will give up using the yacht when we are on our honeymoon, and instead fly around the world on our honeymoon. "

"God, congratulations, boss."

"thanks."

After some compliments, Taylor, who calmed down, thought about it for a moment, and his eyes brightened.

With Li Changheng and Annie's personal advertising, the sales of 747 in the field of private jets have swept the entire rich circle.

At least the rich desert tyrants, as well as the new super-rich like Frank, will definitely choose the 747 first.

Moreover, Li Changheng, a person of identity and power, personally went off the stage to help Boyin to advertise, which is enough to give Boyin face, and it should make the dissatisfied voices on the side a lot less.

-----

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

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

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

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

The combined shares of the two just reached the critical point of 5%. After all the members of the board of directors voted, they became a new member of the board of directors.

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

Nasser is not dissatisfied with this, not to mention that the two have discussed this matter with Li Changheng before, and Nasser is not a U.S. nationality, he is not suitable to enter 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 the Belford Investment Company's relationship, even if he does not stand up, the outside world will recognize them as members of his own line.

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

As for Nasser, he 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. He had time to think about it when he was driving home. When he signed 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 also broken through 400 million and 500 million, reaching 730 million US dollars.

Although countless records have been broken, it may be because the initial publicity was too fast, and the box office in the last one or two months was really unsatisfactory.

The box office in the first month reached 366 million US dollars. This large-scale publicity model was basically used by no film company in this era, because the required publicity costs were too great.

Li Changheng also made the movie famous all over the world only with the help of the bombing case without spending any money.

But this has also led to excessive consumption of box office potential, which is equivalent to pulling all potential audiences of several months into the cinema in one month.

In the second month, if it wasn't for Richard Wilton, who was used by him, the box office might not even reach 200 million.

No surprises in the third month, the box office was cut by half.

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

Work hard, breaking 800 million should not be a problem.

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

Perhaps it was because he worked as a vice president in Boyin, sold planes all the year round, and dealt with the powerful, so Taylor was very familiar with the lobbying system, and was willing to use this model to achieve his goals.

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

In this era, because there are no discs, it is impossible to add some small gifts to the Oscar-primary movies and mail them to the judges like Harvey.

To deepen the judges' impression of the film, and to suggest that it will pay off afterwards.

But Taylor suggested that more than a dozen small and medium-sized funds would take the judges to travel around, or even bring them to Las Vegas for a few days for reasons such as holding practitioner seminars, fan meetings, etc. The same effect.

Even more direct and more effective than Harvey.

Only the judges know how many chips they changed when they left their Las Vegas hotel.

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

Thinking of this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Li Changheng felt happy at the same time, but he had to admit that there is really nothing in the capital world, it is something that money can't handle.

Because the fat man who won the Oscar by running his own movies one after another 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 intend to give Annie, who is making a movie for the first time, a perfect experience for Li Changheng.

After returning home, I learned from the housekeeper Meryl that Anne was in the bedroom and did not 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, lest an accident happen in the future, which would affect the Caesars Hotel and the Corleone family.

Besides, hundreds or thousands of judges were brought into the Caesars Hotel, even if it took several months.

But careful people can still find some clues.
