Chapter 102: Major Shareholder of Lionsgate (Big Chapter)
"Supermodel Miranda Kerr's rich boyfriend is on two boats!"
"A real prince and princess, a combination of hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth."
"Miranda Kerr cries late at night."
"Revealing Jason Yang's romantic love history."
"Princess New York means getting pregnant before marriage."
"A love story that a rich son and a wealthy daughter have to tell."
"Reveal the secret: Miranda Kerr is hard to fill, and the Chinese son is exhausted."
. . .
As Georgina expected, in just half a day, the headlines of major social networking sites and news websites on the Internet were almost dominated by Yang Cheng and Georgina's scandal.
And in the hotel lobby, the photo of Yang Cheng bowing his head and rubbing hands with Georgina was frantically reposted. It stands to reason that this is not a yan photo, and secondly, it is not from an alien, so it shouldn't be.
Considering that the recent relationship between Yang Cheng and Miranda Kerr is about to be overwhelmed, and the people who eat melons are giving their blessings, the plot suddenly turns 180 degrees. I can never get tired of watching it, and immediately ji~frozen GC.
If this photo is changed to a different background, it will not be deliberately rhythmic. The background of the hotel lobby is too eye-catching. Georgina bows her head and smiles like a little woman. Anyone who looks at it looks like she is after the spring rain. Small tender bamboo shoots.
"Fuck, who sent the pregnancy news? I'm going to sue him!"
"Also, saying I can't satisfy Miranda? Fuck, son of a bitch, I'm going to sue his family for bankruptcy."
"Hello, this is Jason Yang." Yang Cheng, who was complaining to Eddie in the office, was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the mobile phone, pointing to Eddie, meaning that our bill will be settled later.
"It's me, you made me miserable, Jason." Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and stopped being angry, and turned to smirk, "What's the matter? Is your little boyfriend jealous?"
Georgina screamed, accompanied by the sound of the horse's hooves touching the ground. It should be the call from the racecourse, and she complained quite sadly, "It's just jealousy, he firmly believes that I'm married to you, and that day is to go The one who opened the room, dragged me to give him an explanation."
Yang Cheng not only didn't feel guilty, but instead raised her head and laughed, "Haha, what the fuck, if you want me to say you're just bored, can't you find a man in Manhattan?"
"Shit, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and explain to me, by the way, drop by the Four Seasons Hotel to get a video, that's proof of my innocence." Georgina's tone was helpless, it seemed that she liked that one very much Boyfriend, I am willing to explain this.
Yang Cheng curled her lips, and said with some reluctance, "Georgina, you won't be really tempted, do you want to marry your little boyfriend home?"
"So what?" Georgina asked nonchalantly.
Yang Cheng covered her forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think Uncle Michael will agree?"
Georgina was silent, and sighed for a while, "Oh... this is where I am in trouble."
"If you want me to say, you should take advantage of this opportunity and kick your little boyfriend immediately." Yang Cheng strikes while the iron is hot, so why didn't he find that breaking up a couple is such an interesting thing.
"I kicked him, will you marry me?" Georgina changed her tone and asked half-jokingly.
Yang Cheng hesitated for a second, pretending not to hear, "What? What? The signal is not good."
"Get out, come here quickly, hear?" Georgina scolded with a grin.
"My company still has a lot of business. I arranged for Hansen, my bodyguard, to take the video and send it over. He was also there yesterday. Let him be your personal ID." Yang Cheng wisely stopped messing around.
"OK, you are busy."
Hanging up the phone, he glared at Eddie, "It's all because of you."
Eddie retorted not without grievances, "Boss, I'm doing it for the company's good. If the Toutiao app hasn't been completed yet, such a good point,
It should be exposed exclusively by us. Besides, the Los Angeles Times, which has the largest circulation, will publish it tomorrow. I just let today's evening paper gain popularity. "
"Do you still dare to argue?" Yang Cheng really lost to this little old man. As the sales of the Los Angeles Times gradually stabilized and the long-term contracts of advertisers were signed one by one, the symptoms of this old naughty boy became more and more serious.
"All right, you're the boss, I'll listen to you, then I'll take down all relevant pages tomorrow?"
"Forget it, the whole of the United States knows it anyway, it doesn't matter if you report it or not, by the way, remember that we will not follow Elizabeth Holmes's report later." Yang Cheng remembered the matter of agreeing to Felix Morgenthau at noon, told Eddie.
"What? Someone put pressure on it?" Eddie didn't have any objections. He had encountered this kind of situation before, and the so-called freedom of the media didn't exist at all.
"Well, Felix Morgenthau, it doesn't matter, does it? Our original plan didn't follow up the report either."
"No, but we still have Elizabeth Holmes black material in our hands, and now it seems that we can only appreciate it by ourselves." Eddie shrugged and said with a regretful expression.
Yang Cheng smiled lightly, "There's no rush, I'll keep them all, and I can use them later if things go wrong."
After get off work at night, in order to avoid her mother's nagging, Yang Cheng took Susu to Waldorf's own suite and spent a harmonious night.
———————————————
The next morning, before Yang Cheng came to the office, Susu came in to report that a visitor had come to see her before her butt was warmed up.
Yang Cheng raised her eyebrows, "Do you have an appointment?"
Susu shook her head, "No, the guest said it was introduced by a Mr. Felix Morgenthau, so the front desk must inform."
"Oh, I know, bring someone up, go in from there, go directly to the reception area." When Yang Cheng heard that it was introduced by Felix Morgenthau, he knew that it should be the major shareholder of Lionsgate Films Did not run away.
The strength is very hard, and the promise is fulfilled so quickly.
Thinking secretly in his heart, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed Riz Khan on the internal line, explained the matter roughly, and asked him to come up to meet with the guests.
Recently, the weather in New York is comparable to that in California. The sun is shining every day without a trace of clouds, and the sky is so low that you can touch it. Standing in front of the top window, Yang Cheng always has the feeling of wanting to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun. Then it's either being roasted to death by the sun or falling to death alive.
Riz Khan's office is on the first floor downstairs, and Yang Cheng was so anxious on the phone that he didn't even wait for the elevator to climb up the stairs.
"Ryze, your body is weak enough." Yang Cheng joked to the panting Ryze.
Ryze waved his hand with a wry smile, "I also found out, this body is so empty."
"Haha, things between men and women should not be frequent." Inviting Ryze to the reception area to wait for the arrival of the guests, he said, "I remember that there is still unplanned space in the building? Set aside an area to set up a gym, just like it It’s a benefit for the employees.”
"Boss, there is a fitness area in the forum company area, why not just expand it to the first floor?" Ruiz nodded with a smile. This is a very good corporate culture, creating a healthy and upward company temperament, for a professional manager like him Humans are very attractive.
"Well, yes, the fitness equipment should be the best, so you don't need to save this little money." Yang Cheng is now more and more like a boss, just spend money, how to take care of how to save money, he is too lazy to waste brain cells thinking , anyway there is Ryze.
"Boss, the guests are here." Su Su Nuo Nuo's voice came from behind.
Yang Cheng turned around after hearing the sound, and a man with vicissitudes on his face but still bright eyes followed behind Susu. His blue pupils were like an emerald inlaid on an ordinary silver ring, shining lonely shine.
This is a man with a story, Yang Cheng secretly thought in his heart.
"Boss, this is Mr. Kottweiler." Susu introduced Yang Cheng.
"Hello, Mr. Weller, I'm Jason Yang, just call me Jason, this is my CEO Riz Khan, please sit down, what would you like to drink?" Yang Cheng shook hands with Kurt Weller, and then Introduce him to Ryze.
"Hi Jason, Ryze, please call me Kurt." Kurt Weiler is a man who is not good at words, and even basic greetings are a little clumsy.
When Yang Cheng saw this, he was not polite, and took the lead to get to the point, "Kurt, although I don't know what Mr. Morgenthau told you, but believe me, I will pay a sincere price for the shares of Lions Gate in your hand. "
"Jason, you misunderstood. In fact, I intend to cash out the shares of Lions Gate to make up for my losses in other projects. Mr. Morgenthau introduced your situation, so I came here uninvited." Kottweiler Thanked Susu for the coffee and quickly explained.
No wonder they looked weather-beaten. Yang Cheng and Ruiz looked at each other with the same eyes, which was self-evident.
"Cotter, since that's the case, let me just say it straight, how many Lionsgate shares do you have voting rights? With all due respect, I haven't seen your name on the list of Lionsgate shareholders before. "Ryze took over the conversation at this time, and he would take the lead in the negotiation beforehand, and when he was undecided, Yang Cheng, the big boss, would make the decision, leaving a buffer space for both parties.
Kottweiler held the coffee cup, took a sip, and glanced at Yang Cheng unexpectedly, "Are these Hawaiian Kona coffee beans?"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng picked it up and took a sip, smacked his lips and couldn't help but smile wryly, "That's right, I didn't expect Kurt to have researched coffee." The reason for his surprise was that Susu served the wrong coffee, MD, this is The first time I went to Hawaii, I bought it from Grandpa Situ. It was not much, only two small packets. He himself was usually reluctant to drink it, and occasionally he would cook a cup when he was in a particularly good mood.
Hawaiian Kona coffee beans (Hawaiian Kona), a small bean fruit, have a very sweet taste, a very delicate taste, slightly sour, and a very tropical flavor. It has only been planted since the RB immigrant period, because of its mildness, it has a refreshing effect on the human body It is a rare top-quality coffee bean.
Because Hawaiian Kona, like Jamaican Blue Mountain, is a rare variety that can only be planted on volcanic slopes, the cost of harvesting and cultivation is much more expensive than other classic coffees. In addition, the quantity is not large, and it has always been exclusive to coffee gourmets. Enjoy, you can't enjoy ordinary coffee.
"I used to work in an oil field. Once when I went out to sea with an oil tanker and docked in Hawaii, the boss of the company invited us to drink a cup of coffee. The mellow and sour taste is still fresh in my memory. The salary at that time could not afford the price. The Kona coffee beans are like gold, and when I got some money, I realized that not all the good things in this world can be bought with money.”
While reminiscing, Kurt told his past stories, took another sip of coffee, waved his hands and apologized, "I'm sorry to digress, let's talk about the shares, except for the part I used to cash out, now I hold a total of 19.8% of the shares of Lionsgate Films, when the original founder of Lionsgate founded the company, he persuaded me to invest together.
After taking a breath, he continued, "I encountered some things later, which gave me the idea of hiding my wealth, so on the eve of Lions Gate's listing, I split the shares into offshore companies. These stocks are all Class B shares. 43% of the voting power."
Yang Cheng can still be calm and composed, but Ruiz is ecstatic, the pie is falling from the sky, this tm is the original stock, the Buddha in front of him is the real major shareholder of Lionsgate, and that Mark Laches is at best an Erlang god.
"At the current market price, the value of this part of the stock is around 990 million. Because of Mr. Morgenthau's recommendation, I only need 950 million US dollars, but it must be in cash and there is no installment."
Kurt Weiler set out his conditions, and Yang Cheng's brain was spinning rapidly. He was thinking about whether the exchange between him and Morgenthau was worth 40 million U.S. dollars. Yang Cheng's abandonment of tracking and reporting on Elizabeth Holmes is not worthy of 40 million US dollars. It is inevitable to have a grudge against Yang Cheng. For Yang Cheng, the gain outweighs the loss, and vice versa.
Ruiz Khan looked at Yang Cheng expectantly. From his point of view, he naturally wanted to agree immediately, because even if the price was won through long and arduous negotiations, it was not worth the time cost.
"Can I know what project Kurt you are in trouble with? Of course, you can choose not to answer. After all, this involves your personal privacy, which is a bit impolite." Yang Cheng pondered for about a minute, but asked a question Unrelated question.
Yang Cheng was not saying nothing, he wanted to find out whether Kottweiler really offered the price of 950 million 500 million for the sake of Felix Morgenthau, or whether he had some reason to be held by the other party.
The former is easy to say, but the latter is more troublesome, because once Kortweiler regards Yang Cheng as the key to solving the problem, for example, getting back Kortweiler's handle with Felix Morgenthau.
This is bound to put Yang Cheng in an embarrassing situation, probably because he can't speak in front of Morgenthau, and he doesn't think it's worth the risk of offending Morgenthau to pay 40 million US dollars.
That's why Yang Cheng tactfully tried Kurt Weiler.
"Uh... there's nothing I can't say. It's an oil field I invested in that has a problem." Kottweiler hesitated for a moment and said something vaguely.
"Is that so? Now that the global crude oil situation is going down, it's not a bad thing to slow down appropriately." Yang Cheng calmly comforted her, and became more suspicious.
Looking at Ruiz, he continued, "Kurt, you know, after all, this involves a transaction of nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars. Can you give me some time to discuss it within the company? Don't worry, I won't delay you. I only need half a day. I will give you an accurate answer before 8 o'clock tonight."
