    The two had quite different opinions on the distribution of equity, and Jeffrey Berg refused to take a step back even to death.  After a stalemate for a while, Berg excused himself by calling another partner and made an appointment with Zhang Shaoping for another time to discuss.  When Zhang Shaoping disappeared from sight, Berg stood up and came to the seat with his back to him. The person in the seat was wearing a peaked cap. When he looked up, it was the barrister Hendler.  "Did you hear what I just said? What do you think?" Berg pulled out a chair opposite him and sat down in a hurry.  Hendler ate foie gras and said slowly: "Don't ask me for my opinion. I'm just a lawyer. I'm a man of few words. I don't have any opinions other than telling Mr. Ralph Roberts the truth about what happened." This guy is the one.  The talented person suddenly became the spokesperson for cable TV operator Comcast.  As expected of a famous barrister in Hollywood, he sold "goods" to three companies and earned several remunerations.  Berger didn't take Hendler's excuse seriously, and still asked: "If we can't agree on the equity distribution, what will Comcast do? Take a step back, or will we just break up the deal?" "Concast  Stewart has always focused on the television industry and does not attach much importance to the agency industry. In my opinion, it is impossible for Mr. Roberts to spend millions of dollars to acquire an entertainment agency with an uncertain future." Hendler took out a napkin.  Wiping his mouth, he continued to analyze, "This Mr. Zhang Shaoping has recently been in frequent contact with the two companies of International Innovation and Innovative Artists. Judging from his actions, it doesn't look like he is fake. He should really want to enter the brokerage industry. If you cooperate with him,  In the long run, it may not be a loss. "Hendler knows better, so he sees it more clearly, and it is clear that Ralph Roberts's investment is just an impromptu test of the water.  One is to train the brilliant Brian Roberts, and the other is to build a cable TV network, go beyond Philadelphia, and establish a foothold in New York and Los Angeles, the two most active entertainment places.  For Roberts, International Innovation is just a springboard, and its writer resources are the goal, so there is no need to control it.  But for Zhang Shaoping, who is in the videotape business, the importance of a TV station is self-evident, and he went completely for Comcast.  By taking control of International Innovation Management Company, it will have a little more capital when dealing with Comcast.  Berg is unaware of the various considerations of the two families, but this does not prevent him from being flexible and making choices.  Berg pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Maybe, I'll talk to everyone first and negotiate with him later."  As soon as he said goodbye to Berg, Zhang Shaoping immediately turned to Ovitz and waited.  land.  He also said as he walked: "Mu Fang, contact me Marvin Josephson and tell him that I want to talk to him about the acquisition of International Innovation Management Company." But it was when Zhang Shaoping was negotiating with Berg that he discovered that  For the control of the enemy, I wanted to make a change and start from Josephson's end again.  Josephson is not an insider in the brokerage industry. He just saw that the brokerage industry was very profitable and wanted to get in and make a fortune.  But things went against expectations and no money was made. Instead, due to poor management and internal strife, the company suddenly fell into a quagmire and could not get out.  Josephson is a philistine businessman who only cares about money, not people and things. Zhang Shaoping believes that this guy is being forced into the palace by the shareholders of his company and is in a bad situation. He is absolutely willing to accept the olive branch he offers and make a fortune.  Zhang Shaoping¡¯s idea is also very simple, which is to use Josephson¡¯s hands to squeeze out the equity shares that were originally agreed to belong to the shareholders of Josephson International.  Of course, before that, Zhang Shaoping will sign a purchase agreement with Josephson, stipulating that within a certain period of time, he will purchase 10% of Josephson's equity at a certain percentage of premium.  This can avoid challenges from ambitious shareholders and control the overall situation without having to fight to the death. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.  "Mr. Ovitz, I'm sorry, I'm late." As soon as Zhang Shaoping arrived at the place, he apologized profusely and his voice was extremely sincere.  "It's okay!" After waiting for a long time, Ovitz showed no sign of anger. Instead, he smiled slightly and asked Zhang Shaoping to sit down for a detailed discussion. He said, "This is the producer Anne Hurd, and this is the screenwriter James Card.  Mellon." After shaking hands with the two, Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "Mr. Ovitz, I thought these two were your right-hand men, but I didn't expect them to be the producer and screenwriter. I know you.  My company has signed a lot of clients. Why, if you bring them here, do you still want me to invest in your movie?" Zhang Shaoping said jokingly, but Ovitz said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, I still want to do this.  There is a really interesting movie that is looking for investment. Do you want to watch it? " Zhang Shaoping was speechless. This guy is really looking for investment. It's strange.Don't "lower down" before and adopt a humble posture.  Zhang Shaoping has always been a person who respects others as much as he respects him. It was not easy to reject Ovitz directly, so he took the script and read it.  "Eh, "Terminator"?!" Zhang Shaoping just read the title of the play, then raised his head in surprise and looked at Cameron, "Is this your script? Your name is Cameron?" In front of the investor, Cameron  Long said very humbly: "Yes, I am Cameron, and I wrote this script." A strange look appeared on Zhang Shaoping's face. Damn it, Ovitz is probably looking for someone to take advantage of.  On his head, Ovitz never expected that the Cameron in front of him, who would be nicknamed the "King of the World" in the future, was a golden chicken that could lay golden eggs.  "Zhang Shaoping is sure to be the winner. He will be anxious to anyone who doesn't accept him." ?¡­ ?Although things have had their ups and downs, at the end of the day, the conditions for the investment have finally been initially negotiated.  The contact with CAA giant Ovitz had its ups and downs, and was even almost aborted at one point. However, it took many twists and turns, but in the end, we were ahead of the curve and reached a cooperation agreement first.  Without Ovitz's obstruction, it was almost certain that Madi Baum's 6% stake in CAA would fall into the hands of Zhang Shaoping.  Both caa and icm have their own advantages. The former is gaining momentum and has a wide range of contracted customers, including performing arts, journalism, publishing, literature, comics, lawyers and other industries, and its number is doubling year by year.  The latter is good at financing and financial investment. Because he is not short of money, he has extremely close ties with the literary world, the press and publishing world, and reading producers.  This is interesting. CAA needs Zhang Shaoping's capital investment to make up for its shortcomings in financing, but Zhang Shaoping is interested in CAA's increasingly large customer resources and its relationship with c**s, a**c, and n**  c Good interaction between the three TV companies.  The result of the cooperation between several parties is that in the future, CAA will produce directors, actors, screenwriters and other performing arts practitioners in front and behind the scenes, Duli Production Company will contract the production of film and TV content, the TV station will purchase the broadcast rights, and Zhang Shaoping will be responsible for the recording of the video tapes  Issuance and leasing.  With the popularity of home video players, a new video disc market has been born, creating a new distribution model.  Almost all Hollywood movies will be re-broadcast on major television networks after being shown in theaters.  In addition, the United States also has a major feature that is not found in other regions, that is, the more times a TV series is replayed, the more popular the video tapes are sold. However, rebroadcast TV series often contain a large number of interviews, outtakes, etc., so  Often collected.  It can be seen that this market is quite huge.  ¡°If Zhang Shaoping has obtained huge artist resources, a complete TV network and smooth distribution channels from CAA, then he has received support from the literary world, media industry and reading producers from ICM.  When connected in series, it is equivalent to opening up the two channels of Ren and Du, which can continuously supply film sources.  After signing a preliminary cooperation agreement with caa, within two days, icm was also won by Zhang Shaoping.  Just as he expected, after being contacted by Josephson, he was really moved by the premium acquisition conditions offered by him. As a clever move, he suddenly appeared and came out to disrupt the situation.  Through this person, Zhang Shaoping successfully controlled 60% of the equity and achieved the goal of controlling the company.  On this day, Zhang Yonglin hurriedly flew to Hollywood and brought the final cooperation agreement with the Sunrise Group to Zhang Shaoping for review.  Zhang Shaoping read the cooperation agreement carefully and examined the terms one by one.  According to the results of the negotiations between the two parties, the Sunrise Group will provide Zhang Shaoping with no less than 400,000 video tape players of various types every month, with each machine being supplied at a price that is 10% lower than the wholesale price.  Zhang Shaoping guarantees that the monthly sales volume of video tape players will not be less than 300,000 units, and stipulates that monthly settlement will not be in arrears until the next month.  If the sales volume is less than 300,000 units, Yueli Group has the right to immediately terminate the cooperation and Zhang Shaoping will pay the accounts payable.  The terms of the agreement were various and very detailed. Zhang Shaoping read it carefully and couldn't see any tricks, so he handed it to Hu Mufang and said: "Fax this to Qinghong and the others and see if there are any problems.  ¡± Zhang Shaoping¡¯s team of lawyers cannot be said to be huge, with only fifty or sixty people. It is much inferior to Li Chaoren¡¯s team of more than 150 lawyers, but it is more than enough to handle matters such as signing contracts and contract disputes.  .  Throwing the cooperation agreement to Hu Mufang for processing, Zhang Shaoping asked: "Has the company been established? Is it called 'Audio and Video Multimedia Entertainment Company'?" "Yes, that's the name." "Okay, let's use the company name.  Sign up with International Innovation Management Company. "The official name of the video rental chain company is Audio-Visual Multimedia Entertainment Company. In Zhang Shaoping's plan, video rental is only its most important business at present, and the entertainment agency business will soon be taken over by it.  Put it in the bag.  caa does not have the surname Zhang yet, so although it is developing rapidly, Zhang Shaoping has no intention of giving it a try.  Although ICM has many shortcomings, Zhang Shaoping strongly supports anyone who calls it Zhang.  Zhang Shaoping has his own idea of ??how to divide the performing arts brokerage business. He hopes that ICM will avoid the sharp edges of CAA and strive to develop markets outside North America, such as Western Europe, Hong Kong and Japan, and take an international route and develop its own characteristics.  .  Therefore, the shares of caa are directly under Zhang Shaoping's private name, and he can just sit back and enjoy the dividends, but this is not the case for icm. To become stronger, it must join forces with audio-visual multimedia entertainment companies.  (To be continued.)
