Warren Buffett said, "To judge the merits of a company, I only look at whether it has pricing power, and the name of the CEO is sometimes not in my scope at all." ”In Abel's words, this sentence is: "The ownership of a company, I only look at its control and the proportion of shares."
Board members or even board chairs, who are they?
Not at all on my radar!
”If you lose some false names.You can make a name for the company at a very small cost, and you can attract excellent talents, so what's the harm in abandoning these false names?
Trading an honorary director of Paramount for two $20 million contracts with Robert Downey Jr. is a loss-making deal for those who take the directors of the company's board of directors very seriously.But for Abel.It's definitely a big deal.If there are other people who are willing to lower their own salaries and participate in future Paramount films, the price will also be a position like Paramount's honorary director.He was absolutely willing.Of course.Rather lack than abuse.This kind of nominee director position is valuable when the number is scarce.If there are so many of them, even the whole of Hollywood that there are such honorary directors, it will not be worth much.can get this kind of treatment.Not to mention reaching the top level of Robert Downey Jr., at least he must be a first-line celebrity, such as Brother Tang not far away.But......
If it's a beauty, such as Gal Gadot next to her, or Anne Hathaway next to her, or Emma Watson in Anne Hathaway's next place.If they want to.You can get that kind of treatment.Not to mention being able to get the responsibilities of an executive director of Viacom's board of directors like Elizabeth, at least a nominee director of Paramount's level is no problem.As for the price to pay.As long as you are an adult, you will understand.Abel and Robert Downey Jr. had just reached an agreement and wanted to continue talking to Gal Gadot when two teams walked out of the front row of the Golden Hall of the Central Hilton Hotel's converted conference hall.On the left is Oasis Investments, headed by Alvertelli and Lana, as well as some of the accounting and legal teams.On the right is Viacom's CEO and COO, followed by a team of legal and accounting teams.Personnel from both teams.At about the same speed.Go to the conference table above that has been set up for the contract signing the contract, then find the seats with their names written on them and sit down.More than a dozen seconds passed.With a smile on his face, Alvertelli picked up the microphone in front of him and tested his voice.Speak."
Welcome to ......"
"Today is an extremely important day for Oasis Investment, Viacom, or Paramount!""
Because after a series of friendly negotiations, Viacom Group is ready to sell Paramount to Oasis Investment at the current market price!""
Please come.The first is for you to witness this important day.The second is that after the contract exchange is completed, I will temporarily announce a series of new plans for Paramount as the acting president of Paramount!
”"This plan is closely related to you!"
With a brief pause in Alvertelli's opening remarks.The Golden Hall of the Central Hilton Hotel, which was converted into a conference site, resounded with warm applause.Those big-name celebrities who were invited to come were very interested in the appearance of the new Paramount after Abel's flickering just now.For a new capital giant to enter the media industry, it will also become the parent company of one of the six major Hollywood companies.It's like a new giant crocodile trying to enter the pond of Hollywood.This kind of thing is extremely unpleasant for the other predators who live in this pond, and they want to grab food from them.But for those little shrimps.The appearance of a new large crocodile, although it will cause the death of a batch of small shrimp.However, the battle between the predator and the big crocodile can often create a floating corpse that allows many small shrimps to eat enough, which is not a benefit for the small shrimp at the bottom of the food chain.As long as you don't get involved in the battle between the predators, become a victim.That kind of thing, for the little shrimp, often means opportunities.After the applause.Alford's gentlemanly demeanor, full of bending, said with a smile: "Next, I would like to invite Mr.
Philip, the CEO of Viacom, and Mr.
Thomas, the Chief Operating Officer, to speak!"
”Another round of applause.It's just that this kind of applause, the two representatives of Viacom will not like it.Don't like it, don't like it.You can't really not speak.That would be really rude.They are not Lei Shidong, they are just representatives and managers, and they are not qualified to do anything too outrageous.President Philip had no choice but to stand up.Pick up the microphone in front of him."
I don't think I have anything to say.I am here today only on behalf of Mr.
Viacom and Mr.
Lei Shidong. ”He turned to look at Alvertley.The face is expressionless."
I think we can get started.""
Of course!
Of course!
Of course!
”Alvertelli smiled, the exact opposite of the other party's expression, after all, his boss was the winner.Alvertelli looked down, searched the crowd for a while, and finally found his boss in the middle of Anne Hathaway and Gal Gadot.He saw his boss nod at him.Alvertelli was reassured.Hurriedly said: "Then since Mr.
Philip is in such a hurry, I think the agreement to sign the contract can officially begin!"
”"Let's get started......"
Alvertelli said to the legal and accounting teams between the two parties.Then the legal and accounting teams of both sides quickly began to check the contract that had been prepared on the table, and in a tense whisper, the contract inspection was quickly completed.After all, in fact, it is just a scene now, and the real secret transactions and open and secret battles have long been solved under the table.In the history of business, it is rare to have a situation where when the time comes to sign a contract, and there are people on both sides who regret it.If only that were the case.It's really a never-ending situation.About ten minutes later.Whether it is the legal team of Oasis Investment or Viacom, they are sure that there is no problem with the contract on the table, and it is a contract that has been agreed between the two parties for a long time.So......
The rest of the book is a no-brainer.Oasis Investments is represented by Alvertelli and Viacom is represented by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, each of whom has signed the company's statutory articles of association under contract.One of the Big Six in Hollywood was determined.Paramount's new belonging.Contractual provisions.1.
Oasis Investment will purchase 91.33% of Paramount and its cinema chain from Viacom at a market price of $8 billion.2.
Within three years after Paramount separated from Viacom, if it chooses a partner in the industry, it must take other companies under Viacom as the first choice.3.
All current cooperation between Paramount and Viacom must continue within one year.Fourth, if Paramount is participating in the investment in the ongoing project, Viacom must ensure the interests of Viacom after the separation.5.
The funds from Greenstate's investment in the acquisition of Paramount must be all in cash and transferred to Viacom's account within 15 days.6.
Viacom will ......
The whole contract, all the details, all the conditions.All kinds add up to more than 100 articles, and the above list is only the most important and core of them.In other aspects, the all-encompassing treaty is carefully divided into all responsibilities and obligations under the calculation of the legal team and accounting team of both parties.This kind of contract for a large group of companies, whether it is an acquisition or a merger, is often detailed down to the ownership of a cup between two companies.In terms of property.European and American laws must always be clear.Although sometimes.In order to calculate the ownership of a small project, the money that comes out to the legal team and the accounting team will often be higher than the investment in the project......
Like this time.In this contract alone, the parties paid more than $1 million for hiring each other's legal and accounting teams.After the contract is signed in triplicate.Albertley stretched out his hand to the CEO of Viacom, smiling: "Happy cooperation!"
”Viacom's chief operating officer, Thomas Dooley, didn't bird him and turned away.CEO Philip Dow smiled bitterly and shook Albertley's hand, "I hope that Paramount, under the leadership of Lizhou Investment, can regain the glory that Hollywood's Big Six should have!"
”"Don't give in!"
Alvertelli replied in the affirmative.Mr.
CEO gave Alvertelli a deep look, then turned his head to look at Abel, who was "communicating" with Gal Gadot below, and he whispered, "Goodbye!
”Viacom's team, led by him, quickly left the Golden Hall of the Central Hilton Hotel.Leave the team of Oasis Investments.As well as the big-name stars below, as well as the media reporters who kept clicking in the back, and the sound of long guns and short guns shooting kept ringing.With the development of the Internet and the increasingly advanced communication technology, the news of Paramount's change of ownership from Viacom will spread around the world in a very short time.After Viacom's team left completely.Alvertelli opened his hands, looked down with a smile, and said loudly, "Next!"
It's time for the new Paramount!
”He was greeted by a round of applause from below.There was no whistle, after all, this was a more serious occasion, and the participants were not only media reporters.Those big-name Hollywood stars will not surrender their identities and cheer like an ordinary audience.The applause rang out for dozens of seconds before it died down."
That's it!"
Alvertelli knew each other very well.He was polite, like an English gentleman from the island of Britain, and bent slightly in the direction of his boss, and stretched out his hand to make an invitation: "The next plan for the new Paramount will be our esteemed Mr.
Sephorosa, my boss."
Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Chairman of Oasis Investment, give us some simple explanations!
”In response to his move.It was a louder applause, and far more than any previous applause.Those big-name Hollywood stars who were originally calm applauded very cooperatively at this time, enthusiastic as little fans.Robert Downey Jr. even stood up very respectfully, rubbed his hands between his mouth, and let out a few shrill whistles, acting more enthusiastically than anyone else.Abel smiled and gave him a hug.is worthy of being able to become the highest-paid actor in the world overnight from the identity of an addict, this emotional intelligence and this temperament that can be willing to be cheeky at a critical moment, it is no wonder that after the prodigal son turned back and did not change his money, he was able to achieve such success.Winners.None of them were left to chance.After hugging Robert Downey Jr., Abel suddenly smiled at Gal Gadot next to him and said, "Iron Man has given me a hug."
Our dear Wonder Woman, can you give me a hug too?
”Gal Gadot was stunned.How do you make it the same as the Oscars?
Before you go up to receive the award, you have to hug the people around you.She didn't dare respond.This time today, it will definitely be reported by media reporters and paparazzi into a real scandal.It's okay if you don't hug, if you hug this time, it is estimated that tomorrow the newspapers will say that she is about to divorce.Just don't accept the words.The eyes of the many big-name stars around her made Gal Gadot very uncomfortable, and she could only bow her head: "Please go up!"
Mr.
Sephorosa ......
"Abel was a little disappointed.I didn't expect Wonder Woman to really attach importance to her own family.But that's it.Wield a hoe and dig up the corners.It's even more interesting.He shrugged, unimpressed.In the other direction, get ready to go to the front desk to say something.What I didn't expect was.When passing by Anne Hathaway on the left, she was clapping, suddenly stood up with a smile, gave him a big hug, and said with a smile: "Sephorosa!
Hollywood needs a new force like the new Paramount!
”Hugs are part with a touch.But Abel felt the real material of Hollywood's current figure that most resembles Audrey Hepburn!
Unexpectedly.It's a bit big!
I don't know if it's because I've given birth to a baby or breastfeeding......
"Thank you!"
”Abel smiled and thanked him.He took a few more steps.Unexpectedly, Emma Watson, who was next to Anne Hathaway, also stood up.However, the little Hermione witch did not give him a hug like Anne Hathaway, but stretched out her hand: "I'm Emma Watson, hello Mr.
Sephorosa." ”Abel raised an eyebrow."
Hello......
Beautiful Lady Hermione ......
"handshake."
It's also a one-touch split.Anne Hathaway once had a relationship with each other, meeting at a high-end cocktail party co-hosted by Wells Fargo and Time Warner.But Emma Watson.This is the goddess in the hearts of many people around the world, and Abel is the first time to see her.
