Chapter 508 Acquisition
A few days later, through Mr. Randy, Mike saw film investors Morgan and Cameron in a conference room in Los Angeles.
Compared to last year, Lao JP Morgan looked a lot older, and at this time, he was stubborn with irritable cigars.
Director Cameron's face next to him was calm, but from his small movement of pinching his fist, we can see that he was also angry in his heart at this time.
"What happened. If you have any questions, you can say that everyone discussed it. There is no need to delay the film period because of his breath. It was not us who lost money in the end." As the initiator of this conversation, Mike poured a glass of red wine for the two.
Although he has said very politely, he still hidden Morgan.
After all, Morgan's promises have been paid to the filming and publicity of the movie. As a result, because of funding problems, they will not even take care of the shooting work.
This is already a lot of omissions.
As the second largest shareholder of the film, Mike had the right to blame him.
"I have tried to control the cost of shooting. I originally discussed the production cost of 2.5 billion, I used only about 200 million ..." The cost problem was not returned to the Cameron tube, so he directly said his own Dissatisfaction: "Although there are a few shots left now, it only costs 10 million."
"I can guarantee that when this million spend, the Titanic will definitely become the classic of film history."
"As a result, 200 million were spent now, but our JP Morgan began to be stingy ..."
When Mike and Morgan signed a contract contract, Cameron was also there, so he knew what Morgan's idea was.
Because of this, it made him a little bit confused about Morgan's speculative capitalist.
"That's 10 million, not a kilometer of one kilometer. Moreover, the capital budget of 2.5 billion yuan is not only the cost of shooting, but also the next publicity and the investment of the cinema ..." The film director jumped his face, JP Morgan had to have to have to have to have, and JP Morgan had to have to have. He explained to himself.
But listening to his tone, it feels a little guilty.
In fact, Morgan has invested in the film industry for many years, and has its own way in film promotion and theater.
He had previously intended to reduce costs to save money, and also considers his relationship on these two lines.
But now that the film has not reached the announcement stage, there is a gap in funds. This was unexpected before JP Morgan.
And as he said, 10 million is definitely not a small number.
Although Morgan is quite well -known, it is estimated that there are 50 or 600 million total assets, but most of them are fixed assets, and there are money waiting for the money to return.
It is a bit difficult to let him take out 10 million cash now.
"Mr. Morgan is going to leave 50 million to make a declaration?" Mike looked at Lao Morgan, who was bluntly, and said at a magnificent: "I came out of the 10 million gaps that shot, but I also have to see your sincerity."
"In the four or five months of the summer movie movie, I want to see Mr. JP Morgan. You really have invested 50 million to invest, and it is impossible."
"Do I mean clear?"
As the King Group becomes a large group with a total asset of thousands of billions, Mike has gradually gradually become a rookie from Wall Street, becoming a capital crocodile.
Now he is enough to make rich people like JP Morgan look up.
I had heard Mike was willing to make up for a hole, and JP Morgan was a little fortunate.
However, after listening to Mike's reminder, JP Morgan has a layer of cold sweat.
As a rich person, he knows the power of capital crocodile too much.
Mike was just a little bit unhappy to play with Morgan, but after he was really serious, he was not allowed to slide his head.
"Well, I now have a small problem with the capital week. I am afraid I can't get 50 million in four or five months ..." How much funds can be made in the next four or five months, all of which depends on Morgan a while ago. Greed, how much small and medium -cost films can be profitable.
There are many uncertain factors.
Movie investment, not every investment can make money, and some cannot even receive the principal.
I feel that Morgan, who feels stressful, secretly wiped the sweat from the forehead, and said cheekily: "If you don't, you pay a little more money, and after the film will make money, I will give you a little more."
These unreasonable speeches instantly made the scene quiet.
Because I promised to pay the most, I became the oldest Morgan who became the largest shareholder of the film.
He was already timid, and quickly lowered his head as a turtle, and no longer dared to look at Mike's eyes.
On the other side, Mike, who leisurely raised red wine, stared at JP Morgan a few times with expressionlessly.
Until the atmosphere in the room was so dignified that when people felt difficult to breathe, Mike tapped the table lightly and shouted to the outside, "Mr. Randy, take things in."
Mr. Randy, who had been prepared outside the door, pushed open the hidden door, and walked in with a bunch of documents.
"Mr. Morgan, this is all the film projects you have invested in the past year. Except for the Titanic, it is a small and medium -cost investment. According to professional forecasts, your small and medium -cost film investment is unlikely to return to the original ..."
Mr. Randy put the information in front of Morgan and said, "So you have a high probability that you can't afford the announcement of the new movie of Titanic ..."
"Even if you continue to support, the follow -up declaration of the Titanic will drag you down and let your total assets declare bankruptcy."
In some cases, filming is indeed a very expensive thing, and Mr. Randy was not exaggerating.
And Mike's arrival was not unprepared.
Before he came, he had asked Tina to investigate Morgan's situation and faxed the information to Randy.
In other words, because of Morgan's unqualified performance, Mike had decided to kick him out of the Titanic project from the beginning.
Seeing old Morgan gradually becoming autistic in Randy's words, Mike said at the right time: "Mr. Morgan, I feel sorry for your current situation. Now you have a chance to choose, which is to sell all the shares of Titanic to me."
"In this way, you not only don't have to worry about the publicity and promotion of the Titanic movie, but you can even have extra funds to turn over your other film projects."
No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
"What do you think?"
After saying that, Mike took a sip of the red wine in his hand calmly, and didn't seem to be afraid that Morgan would disagree with his proposal.
On the other side, Morgan, whose head gradually calmed down, finally realized that Mike had other plans this time.
But just as Randy said, Morgan, who was unable to make ends meet, had no choice.
Especially now, he was facing a big capitalist like Mike.
"Five hundred million!!!" Morgan, who had been struggling with his thoughts for a long time, said with veins popping out on his forehead, "As long as you can come up with five hundred million, I will sell you all the shares of Titanic."
It must be said that Morgan is indeed a veteran in the film investment industry.
If everything goes well with the new Titanic movie, his investment can indeed make him a profit of five hundred million.
However, he still wants five hundred million in this situation, which can only be said to be a bit whimsical.
Even if Mike is not short of money and will not lose money, it does not mean that he can continue to tolerate others taking advantage of him.
"One hundred and fifty million, you did not lose money and made fifty million." Mike leaned back slightly on the back of his chair, looking down at Morgan opposite him.
"Four hundred million, it can't be less. I can introduce you to the relationship between the publicity team and the theater..." Morgan argued with reason.
As a businessman, this is basic accomplishment.
"100 million, I will let you break even." Mike reminded: "You have to understand that your current situation is not me begging you."
A person who is about to be dragged into bankruptcy by the Titanic dares to raise the price, which is simply intolerable.
"100 million? Too little, I'll make another concession, 300 million." Morgan said based on experience: "You and I both know that this new movie is definitely worth this price."
As mentioned earlier, Morgan is also an old filmmaker, and he has his own assessment of whether the new movie can make money and how much it can make.
But now, the rhythm is obviously not with him.
"10 million shooting funds plus 50 million publicity costs, if you can make up this gap, you may be able to make 300 million." Mike said tit for tat: "But the current situation is different, so I will only give you 100 million. If you are not satisfied, I will leave now."
"But I have to remind you that any choice you make now is related to whether you will go bankrupt in the future."
Mike's words indirectly reminded Morgan who he was going to offend.
Sure enough, after hearing Mike's warning words, Old Morgan's face turned a little paler.
Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Old Morgan gave in and said dejectedly: "I have invested 100 million in this project alone, plus the energy and labor management fees I have put in during this period, I think I am worth that 150 million."
"Deal!" Mike smiled again and said: "You made the right choice, Morgan."
It must be said that with the ability to read minds, negotiation is so simple.
