"Hello, Mr. Ye!"
The call was connected, and a smooth laugh came from the other end. "Who is this?" Ye Chen asked.
"Mr. Ye, I'm Wang Lei, the chairman of Orange Gua Pictures! Didn't you give Ma Yunbin your business card last time at Chimelong Hotel? He was the one who passed the business card to me!" said the voice on the other end of the phone with a smile.
"Chairman Wang, right? Nice to meet you! I thought that your Orange Gua Films would not contact me anymore. I was also ready to contact other film and television companies. Your call came just in time!" Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
"Mr. Ye, after all, Orange Gua Pictures does not belong to me alone. Even though the title of chairman is under my name, I do not have the final say on major decisions of the company!" said Wang Lei.
"Okay, then Chairman Wang, you called me now. Have you become interested in my acquisition intention after discussion?" Without further ado, Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ye, is your intention to acquire the company in full? Can we talk about financing?" Wang Lei put away his smooth and tactful attitude and said seriously.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen shook his head and laughed.
"Boss Wang, don't blame me for being harsh. If I just wanted to raise funds, do you think I would go to the unknown Orange Melon Pictures, which no one has even heard of before? I'm not afraid to tell you frankly that all I want is a shell, a shell built on a certain structure. Whether it's Orange Melon Pictures or Pear Melon Pictures, it doesn't matter to me. My goal is very simple, which is a full equity acquisition. The financing method is definitely unacceptable!"
Wang Lei fell silent.
To be honest, for him, or for them.
They definitely hope to obtain capital financing to take over, and being acquired by a wholly-owned company is undoubtedly the worst option!
It is built on the basis of hard work. Unless they are at their wits' end, few people would be willing to be acquired, even if the price is a premium over their own value.
However, the current Orange Gua Pictures has reached a dead end.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to find a director like Pei An in order to reap the leeks of film and television investors, and it would be even more impossible for them to accept the conditions of the investors and allow some people with no acting skills to be forced into the crew, who would only end up being a vase that would destroy their own reputation.
All this shows that Orange Gua Pictures is in a very bad situation, and the degree of financial difficulties has long been beyond ordinary.
This is why after learning of Ye Chen's acquisition intention, the shareholders held meetings for several days in a row... and why Wang Lei called Ye Chen at this time.
"Boss Ye, our Orange Melon Films is only constrained by a lack of funds. In fact, in terms of potential..."
Wang Lei still wants to fight for it.
But Ye Chen didn't even give him a chance to fight for it. "Boss Wang, I told you, these are not important to me. I just want a shell, so the potential or not will not affect my idea of acquiring all the shares. If you are willing to sell Orange Gua Pictures, I will find someone to evaluate your Orange Gua Pictures and finalize the final purchase price. Of course, considering that it is our initiative, the final price we give you will definitely be higher than the appraisal price. If you insist on only accepting financing, then I can only say sorry!"
"Well... since Mr. Ye is so persistent and insistent, we can only give up the idea of looking for financing from Mr. Ye!" Wang Lei smiled bitterly.
It was just Ye Chen's resolute tone that forced Wang Lei to re-examine this controversial upstart.
Is this the nouveau riche that the outside world talks about who is stupid and has a lot of money?
What bullshit!
After all, he had seen many nouveau riche who were stupid and had a lot of money. The way those nouveau riche controlled the rhythm of the conversation was in two completely different dimensions compared to Ye Chen, who was talking at this moment.
"So...what does Mr. Wang mean? To be honest, I still say that, for me, all I want is a shell. I need Mr. Wang to give me a definite answer as soon as possible so that I can find someone to start the evaluation. I don't want to keep wasting time. If Mr. Wang can't give a definite attitude, then I can only turn my attention to other related companies!" Ye Chen said.
"Three days, give me another three days, I will implement the relevant matters, and in three days, Mr. Ye, you can send someone to evaluate and discuss the acquisition!
Unconsciously, in the conversation whose rhythm was completely controlled by Ye Chen, Wang Lei, who felt like he was being led by the nose, responded quickly.
"Mr. Wang is straightforward. I will have someone contact you in three days regarding the evaluation and acquisition!" Ye Chen said neatly.
"Okay!"
After ending the call with the chairman of Orange Gua Pictures, whom he had never met before, Ye Chen called Zhao Jiwei back.
"Hello, Brother Ye!" Zhao Jiwei answered the call immediately.
"Well, it was Wang Lei, the chairman of Orange Gua Pictures, who called me just now. During the call, we had a preliminary exchange of intentions regarding the acquisition. If nothing goes wrong, you can enter Orange Gua Pictures in three days to conduct various evaluations and start acquisition work. Didn't you say that Jingshan and Changfeng want to invest with you? Then the three of you will form an acquisition team to initiate the acquisition of Orange Gua Pictures. You will have three days to prepare well, and then bring the Royal Court Law Firm and Shen Yao to take charge of related legal issues!" Ye Chen said.
"Okay, okay, okay!
Zhao Jiwei was so excited that he responded happily again and again.
"Then let's put it this way. The 5%+5% shares will be divided equally among the three of you. Later, you can ask Jingshan and Changfeng to come out and have a good chat. I will also send you the contact information of the chairman of Chenggua Pictures on WeChat later, and you can contact him then!" Ye Chen nodded. ①
"What about you, Brother Ye? You, you don't plan to take charge of this acquisition yourself?" Zhao Jiwei was suddenly stunned.
"If I hadn't allocated 15% of the shares to you all equally, I would definitely have to take charge of it myself. But now that I have you three shareholders, I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
this
This seems like he wants to be a hands-off boss.
For a moment, Zhao Jiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Brother Ye is really generous!
But the trust and affection between each other is there.
Zhao Jiwei didn't bother to be pretentious, "Okay, then the three of us will definitely live up to Brother Ye's high expectations!"
"Okay, let's talk about this first!
"Yes, then Brother Ye, I will contact Jingshan and Changfeng right away!" No more words were said.
Ye Chen hung up the phone and left the company.
When Zhao Jiwei got back to the brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class that he had someone send over.
Think about it.
Finally, he couldn't help but call Pei An, the director in his previous life who was full of honors but also controversial.
Originally, he would not be in a hurry to make this call.
But now even the chairman of Orange Melon Pictures has come to him, but this weirdo who is still frustrated and stuck in the quagmire has never come to him from beginning to end...
This time, Ye Chen was really curious about what this guy was thinking about.
