Hualiu Director

Chapter 202 Crazy Mergers and Acquisitions

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lin Hong and Song Xiaohan walked out of the Beijing International Airport holding hands. Lao Lin was already waiting outside with Lin Qinglan in his car.

Song Xiaohan did not stay in a hotel when she came to the capital this time, but was taken directly to Lin's house. She will live with Lin Qinglan in the next few days.

As for what the outside world thinks, Song Xiaohan doesn't care at all, she feels that there is no need to pay attention to those irrelevant people.

Lin Hong didn't go home immediately, he took a taxi and went directly to Hualiu Company, where there was a meeting waiting for him to make a decision.

Both Kong Xiao and Zhang Wentong will go to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, but Lin Hong didn't expect them to come to the company one step earlier than him.

When he arrived at the company, Lin Hong went directly into the conference room. Lin Hong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly that he wanted to acquire the Shencheng Animation Film Studio.

"If Disney's offer of 2 million yuan is very close, then I predict that 2.2 million yuan will be won."

Also participating in the meeting is an accounting firm in Beijing that is very good at mergers and acquisitions. They are important members of the merger and acquisition team that Xiao Di just formed.

They have already done a brief understanding of Shenmei Production in one morning, and they are very confident in the number of 2.2 million.Of course, they reminded Xiao Di from the very beginning that 2 million is already a serious premium.

"Before the Lantern Festival, the first box office payment will be credited to the account. Our Hualiu's after-tax revenue is expected to exceed 3.6 million, which is fully affordable even if it is a sole proprietorship.

However, I suggest that we only have an absolute holding of more than 51%. It is best to invite several powerful companies to contribute capital and share risks. "

Hualiu's chief financial officer, Lao Qian, once worked for two private banks, and if Xiao Di hadn't used his personal connections, he wouldn't have been able to get him.

"No, this time Hualiu has to be a sole proprietorship for the acquisition. Believe me, every share sold out now will kill the meat we cut out in the near future. If you don't want to feel heartbroken in the future, don't cut the meat now.

For factors such as film scheduling and publicity, we can share the film investment, but this company can only belong to Hualiu. "

Lin Hong was very domineering about this matter, and didn't even ask other shareholders for their opinions.

"If you think the risk is too high, then I can buy it privately..."

"You have a good idea, and when you see the benefits, you want to take it for yourself. Why, you are afraid that we will fire you, the chairman, if we have money!"

Kong Xiao was the first to stand up and veto Lin Hong's private purchase proposal. He believed in Lin Hong's choice, which has been confirmed many times.

"That's right, the acquisition must come from Hualiu. We trust your vision."

Other shareholders also expressed their agreement, which made Xiao Di and other members of the M&A team a little helpless. These young bosses are really easy to get on top of, and business decisions are like a joke.

Well, now that the bosses have decided, they don't persuade anymore.

Then one resolution after another was passed, and the numbers were quickly decided one by one.

The accounting company that was working with Hualiu for the first time was a little confused. This can no longer be described as efficient. It's like a tea party.

After everything was finalized amidst the laughing and joking, Lin Hong stood up and shook hands with the representative of the accounting company.

"Then it's hard for you to go back and make preparations, but don't be busy tonight, let's go to the celebration banquet of our "People on the Journey" together."

Lin Hong once said at the annual meeting last year that as long as the box office of "People on the Road" exceeds 5 million, there will be a celebration banquet, but no one thought that this day would come so soon.

Different from the first celebration banquet, this time the celebration banquet of "On the Journey" is even more grand, not only invited many media, but also many colleagues in the film and television industry.

And Lin Hong also came out holding Song Xiaohan's hand and formally introduced her to the public.

At the celebration banquet, red envelopes were indispensable. Hualiu gave the two male protagonists a big red envelope of 88 yuan each, and the rest of the actors and crew all had it.

And Chunlei, Yitian, and Berna were not stingy, and all of them were rich and powerful, and they all gave out red envelopes. Compared with the profits of hundreds of millions that were about to arrive in the account, this red envelope was nothing at all.

When Lin Hong, Huang Li, Cheng Xi and Yu Dong smashed the "500000000" ice sculpture model with a hammer, the scene became a sea of ​​joy.

On the second day of the celebration banquet, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Di took his team to Shanghai. Kong Xiao sat in the company and negotiated with major theaters on the phone to increase the film schedule, and everyone else also got busy.

Only Lin Hong became the most idle person.

Because we all know that Lin Hong will be very busy after the Lantern Festival, so we don't bother him now, just treat him as a year off.

Lin Hong also took advantage of Song Xiaohan's vacation, so he took him to play around the capital these few days.

Needless to say, the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square must also arrange for the raising of the national flag, as well as the drama of Renyi, and the small garden of Deyunxuan.

What makes Lin Hong proud is that he also taught Song Xiaohan how to ski.

After a few days of dating, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. It can be said that except for the last threshold, the other two have basically tried everything.

Just when Lin Hong and Song Xiaohan entered the sweet dating mode, "People on the Journey" also continued to sing in the cinema.

The box office totaled 9.1 million in the first week. "On the Journey" surpassed Lin Hong's own record, and also became the champion of the box office in the first week of the Spring Festival.

You should know that this is only a week's results. Hualiu signed a 34-day contract with major theaters. Even if the box office momentum will drop sharply after the Spring Festival holiday, but with the growth of "People on the Journey" in the film schedule, However, the major organizations still gave an estimated box office result of 16 billion before the next painting.

The second-ranked "Yoga Kung Fu" swept the box office of 7.80 million during the seven days of the Spring Festival Golden Week, but many fans of Cheng Long were not happy. A story of two middle-aged men who had a bad journey was defeated!

Of course, there is the even worse "Taoist Out of the Mountain". If it weren't for "Breaking the Waves" which failed to grab the follow-up film, it would be difficult for "Taoist Out of the Mountain" to get the third place with a box office score of 6.5 million.

Naturally, the gossip media will not let go of this hot topic, and "Jiangnan Metropolis Daily" made a big headline: "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead!"

The article cites that at the age of 24, Lin Hong already has many high-scoring movies, and two consecutive theater movies are more popular in the market than the other.

If you count the previous Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Lin Hong is now considered a first-line director in China.

The final evaluation of the article said: "As a leader of the seventh generation of directors, the 24-year-old Lin Hong has continuously handed in amazing report cards. Why should we expect him to come up with better works, whether it is artistic or commercial? In fact, he has the strength to challenge the sixth generation, or even the fifth generation, and even replace it!"

Lin Hong didn't know whether "Jiangnan Metropolis Daily" was praising or killing, but other media that followed also shouted, "The back wave is coming!"

However, more media reported in a regular manner, "Lin Hong's success is a sign of the maturity of the film industry!", "Super rookie director with a bright future!"

There were countless headlines like this, and for a while Lin Hong's reputation rose again, and the number of Weibo fans broke through the tens of millions mark in one fell swoop.

There are endless news about Lin Hong on the Internet, such as where I went to play with my girlfriend today, and what special snacks I ate.

Tomorrow, it will be reported that Lin Hong went around taking classes in college, and filming a chicken soup article about earning money by working part-time at the beginning.

In addition to direct news, there are also many news related to Lin Hong. For example, the most direct news is Song Xiaohan and Lin Qinglan, whose popularity has soared because of their close relationship with Lin Hong.

Especially Song Xiaohan, her recent exposure rate is very high, coupled with the addition of the hit song "Besieged on All Sides", many companies have already contacted Penguin to sign her or "Suger Girl" as an endorsement.

It can be said that Lin Hong's influence on her and her teammates has already appeared.

And Lin Hong wrote a real-name film review for "Taoist Out of the Mountain" on Doubanjiang. From the perspective of the screenwriter and director, he saw the choices of He Anxia and others and their respective fates.

Many people said that after reading Lin Hong's film reviews, they realized that professionals and ordinary audiences really did not see the same movie, and some people expressed that they wanted to go back to the cinema and watch it again.

Just when Lin Hong took Song Xiaohan to Wuzhen from the capital, a piece of news that shocked the whole country came out.

"Hua Liu Film and Television and Hollywood Disney are bidding for Shencheng Film Studio!"

For a moment, the whole network was amazed. Some people admired Hualiu's courage, while others ridiculed Hualiu's overreaching.

When the latest news came out that the purchase price would exceed 2 million yuan, many people jumped out and said that Lin Hong is a prodigal son. Is Lin Hong crazy?

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Lin Hong sent Song Xiaohan back to Shanghai, and Song Yuemei's noodle shop had been open for almost a week.

Song Xiaohan will go to Shenzhen to record a program with her teammates in three days, so she won't date Lin Hong in these two days.

And Lin Hong also switched from the role of wolfdog boyfriend to overbearing president, and he joined Hualiu's M&A team.

Disney is also determined to win, and they have long coveted the cartoon market that has not been fully cultivated in China.

It's just that there was no competition before, so Disney dared to increase the price a little bit to test the bottom line of Shenmei Factory.

But when Hualiu suddenly joined the bidding, Disney became nervous, and the price increase was also increased a lot.

However, Disney has always been an outsider. For China's mergers and acquisitions, they use more commercial means, ignoring that China is a society of personal relationships.

So when Lin Hong invited Director Qiao from Optoelectronics, Shencheng Animation Film Studio quickly made a decision.

On February 2017, 2, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Hualiu Film and Television and Shencheng Fine Arts Film Studio held a joint press conference to announce that the two parties had entered into a merger agreement.

Since then, this 60-year-old state-owned enterprise has become an asset of Hualiu Film and Television.

The accounting firm responsible for the asset liquidation of this M&A case was dumbfounded. They never thought that it only took 2 days from the proposal to the completion of the contract signing for a case with a target price of more than 9 million yuan.

The target price is inflated, the bidding opponent is unpredictable, the boss is domineering, and this merger is crazy.

Many years later, when the accountant in charge of the liquidation talked about the merger with his friends at the wine table, he would be excited and excited. He felt like he had witnessed history.

It's just that at this moment, apart from feeling happy, he didn't realize that he was in the midst of history.

Neither party disclosed the purchase price of 2.18 million yuan, but the price was indeed 300 million more than Disney's final offer.

It's just that Shanghai directly finalized Lin Hong's Hualiu without giving Disney a chance to make another offer, and claimed to Disney that Hualiu had given them an offer they could not refuse.
