Exchange 10% of Shaw Brothers' shares for 49% of Phantom International's shares?
Wang Ben thought to himself: What a waste of time, what a wolfish ambition! Exchange 10% of Shaw Brothers' shares for 49% of Phantom International's shares? What you think is too beautiful, right? !
Shaw Brothers¡¯ industry is so big, its total value is definitely far more than that of Phantom International. Purely based on value considerations, Wang Ben definitely got some advantage by exchanging 10% of Shaw Brothers' shares for 49% of Phantom International's shares.
But things don¡¯t work out that way. In Wang Ben's eyes, Phantom International's development prospects far exceed those of Shaw Brothers. Wang Ben believes that it won¡¯t be long before the value created by Phantom International every year will exceed that of Shaw Brothers. Shao Yifu wanted to exchange for half of Phantom International's profits at a price that would not hurt Shaw's flesh and blood. In Wang Ben's opinion, it was a bit wishful thinking.
But in Shao Yifu's opinion, his move was very reasonable. Not to mention anything else, just saying that he spent such a huge price to exchange shares but did not want to control Phantom International is very sincere.
It¡¯s not that Shao Yifu has never thought about raising his requirements. For example, 5% of Shaw Brothers shares are exchanged for 49% of Phantom International shares; another example is that 10% of Shaw Brothers shares are directly required to control Phantom International.
But Shao Yifu knew Wang Ben¡¯s cunning. If he made such a request, Wang Ben would never agree. However, in Shao Yifu's opinion, Wang Ben should be very happy to agree to his sincere proposal to exchange shares. If you don¡¯t believe it, don¡¯t you think Wang Ben was so excited that he choked?
It¡¯s just that things are not as simple as Shao Yifu thought.
Wang Ben wiped the choking substance from the corner of his mouth and asked in disbelief: "Uncle Six, how could you have such an idea? 10% of Shaw Brothers shares in exchange for 49% of Phantom International shares. How could such a good thing happen? Uncle Six, it¡¯s not April Fool¡¯s Day yet!¡±
Shao Yifu smiled kindly and said: "Ahu, I'm not joking with you. This is true! I am very optimistic about your development prospects and want to further cooperate with you. You see, after we exchange shares, we can communicate with each other. none.
For example, you don¡¯t need to buy photography equipment or post-production equipment. You can rent it at Shaw Brothers at a low price; for example, if you want to shoot a movie, you can choose any of our Shaw Brothers actors. You see, most of the movie stars in Xiangjiang are in our Shaw Brothers and we have so many Shaw Brothers studios that they can open them to you at a low price.
Ahu, from now on, you can shoot movies without leaving the Shaw Brothers Studio! Ahu, think about it. How much trouble this saves you! "
¡°If other people saw Shao Yifu¡¯s conditions and were so confused by him, they might agree with tears of gratitude. But Wang Ben is full of confidence in Phantom International and himself. And Wang Ben is familiar with the direction of history. Knowing that Shaw Brothers is destined to be eliminated. How could he agree to Shao Yifu's share swap proposal?
¡°And with Shao Yifu¡¯s shrewdness, how could he propose such a generous exchange offer? Needless to say, they definitely want to use various means to gradually control Phantom International after the share exchange.
In Wang Ben¡¯s eyes, Shao Yifu¡¯s kind-hearted look turned into a sinister smile with malicious intent. Shao Yifu's bewitching words seemed to Wang Ben's ears to be the big bad wolf's words coaxing Little Red Riding Hood to open the door. Wang Ben was afraid if he agreed. He will end up like Little Red Riding Hood in the story, being eaten to the bone by Shao Yifu and becoming a filming tool of Shaw Brothers.
As soon as Shao Yifu finished speaking, Fang Yihua was beating the drum. "Ahu, look at how thoughtful Uncle Six has thought about you. If our two families cooperate, it's a win-win situation! Both parties can benefit! Ahu, such a good condition. You'd be a bit stupid if you don't agree!"
Wang Ben touched his chin, pursed his lips and sighed: "Hey, Uncle Six, your conditions are so tempting. I just want to say it's hard to refuse!"
Shao Yifu touched his smoothly shaved chin, almost wanting to stroke his beard and laugh. He laughed loudly and said: "Ahu, this is right! After you and I exchanged shares, we became even more like a family! Hahaha"
At this time, Shao Yifu¡¯s clear eyes were full of burning light. He really wanted to clap the case and stand up and shout, "All the heroes in the world have fallen into my trap!"
For a moment, Shao Yifu seemed to see Phantom International and Wang Ben falling under his control, making a movie every year and earning him countless money
But Wang Ben¡¯s next words made Shao Yifu¡¯s mood change drastically.
Wang Ben raised his index finger and tapped the table lightly, with a smile on his lips, looking at Shao Yifu calmly, and said calmly: "But Uncle Liu, after thinking about it, I still feel that I can't agree."?¡¯s proposal for this share swap. "
Shao Yifu's skinny crane face was all blue and gray, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at Wang Ben closely, with incomparable coldness.
"Oh? Why? I think my exchange proposal is still a good deal for you, right?"
Facing Shao Yifu¡¯s aggressive momentum, Wang Ben seemed not to notice. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating the dishes on the table. After taking a few bites, Wang Bi put down his chopsticks and looked at Shao Yifu calmly, "Uncle Liu, aren't you afraid that after I exchange shares with you, I will turn around and shut down Phantom International?" , start a new film company?¡±
How could Shao Yifu not think about this problem?
Phantom International has no studio, no theaters, and even basic post-production equipment. In Shao Yifu's eyes, it's just a leather bag company. But Shaw Brothers is different. There are studios all over the mountain, more than a dozen branches, which can shoot more than a dozen movies at the same time; cinemas all over the prosperous areas of Hong Kong; well-equipped shooting and production teams
How can a handbag company like Phantom International compare with Shaw Brothers' huge industry?
But why is Shao Yifu willing to pay such a high price? He didn't want to tie Wang Ben tightly and make Wang Ben be grateful to him and surrender to him.
The only thing that attracted Shao Yifu to Phantom International was Wang Ben¡¯s head full of whimsical ideas. Phantom International without Wang Ben is worthless in Shao Yifu's eyes.
Shao Yifu said sonorously and forcefully: "Ahu, I believe in you, I believe you are not a villain who is unjust for profit."
Wang Ben touched his nose and chuckled: "Uncle Six, you believe me. But I don't believe in myself! This money is very attractive, and I have no self-control. If I can't withstand the temptation, I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to bear it. Setting up another film company will really hurt the precious relationship between us! So, Uncle Six, for the sake of our precious relationship, I think we should maintain the status quo!"
Wang Ben¡¯s meaning is very simple, that is, he is unwilling to agree to Shao Yifu¡¯s share exchange proposal. His words were even full of threats, threatening Shao Yifu that if he exchanged shares, he would give Shao Yifu a blow, causing Shao Yifu to lose his wife and lose his troops!
Shao Yifu's smiling face suddenly collapsed, his complexion instantly turned cold and livid, and his eyes exploded with light, as if there were countless electric sparks flickering in and out of them. His burning eyes burned Wang Ben and he asked coldly.
"Ahu, are you really unwilling to exchange shares with Shaw Brothers?"
Wang Ben chuckled and said: "Uncle Six, isn't our current cooperation very good? Phantom International shoots movies and then releases them in Shaw Brothers theaters. We will make a fortune together! Let's not talk about the exchange of shares anymore, so as not to hurt anyone. Losing everyone¡¯s face¡¡±
Wang Ben grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands, then stood up and said, "Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt, thank you for your hospitality! It's getting late, and my company still has things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Wang Ben holding Zhong Zhen's hand and walking out of the private room, Shao Yifu couldn't help but clenched his fist and slammed it on the dining table. In anger, he cursed in the Modu dialect: "Little Chi, a dog is sitting on a sedan - you don't know how to lift. !¡±
Fang Yihua was also filled with indignation and said from the sidelines: "Uncle Six, should we break up with Wang Ben and take Phantom International's movies offline?"
Shao Yifu glared at Fang Yihua and shouted angrily: "What a woman! What's the use of taking the movie offline now! It's just to make him make less money. Remember, even if you want to break up with him, you have to find a suitable one." At the right time, I beat him to death without giving him any chance to stand up! Moreover, I also want to use him to fight against the gangsters like Jiahe! Let¡¯s take advantage of him now, and one day I will take care of him! !¡±
But is there such an opportunity?
Shao Yifu also had doubts in his heart
On the way back to the company, Wang Ben looked gloomy. Wang Ben knew that Shao Yifu would not be willing to watch so much box office share flow into his hands. When I saw Shao Yifu at the premiere last time, he looked like he wanted to tell Wang Ben, but Wang Ben fooled him. But after hiding and hiding, I couldn't escape after all!
Zhong Zhen watched the conversation between Wang Ben and Shao Yifu at the dining table, and felt that there were all kinds of mysteries hidden in these few words, full of overt and covert struggles. This situation made her a little uncomfortable.
Zhong Zhen asked worriedly: "Ahu, if you rejected Shao Yifu today, will he become angry and angry"
Wang Ben sneered and said: "It's okay. I have expected such a result. Humph! The current situation is like the war between the Three Kingdoms. Shao is the greedy but not powerful Cao Cao, but also a bit decayed; and Jiahe is Sun Quan who inherited Sun Jian's legacy and is rising up to resist"
Zhong Zhen said with a smile."Then we are Uncle Liu Huang who is full of benevolence and righteousness all over the world?"
Wang Ben laughed loudly and said: "No, no, no! We are gamers who use plug-ins and will never fail! Hahaha"
"Cheat? Gamer? Ahu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word!" Zhong Zhen asked doubtfully.
Wang Ben hugged Zhong Zhen and kissed her hard. Zhong Zhen received countless fists and sneers (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
