Back to 80: My Literary Life

"Mr. Spielberg, if I acquire DreamWorks, the positions of you and your old friends Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen will not change, including the entire structure of DreamWorks. So much has changed, and more importantly:

At this point, Fang Minghua paused and emphasized: "When I acquire DreamWorks, you only have me as the boss, but if Universal Pictures acquires it, not only Meyer, but also Jeff Immel, we will As the Chinese say, you have to have several mothers-in-law.”

Fang Minghua’s last words moved Spielberg’s heart.

Of course, Fang Minghua's generous offer of US$1.5 billion made him even more excited.

"Mr. Fang, I need to discuss this matter with the other two guys and then give you an answer." Mr. Spielberg said.

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news." Fang Minghua said with a smile, and then picked up the tea cup: "Come, let's drink tea."

At almost five o'clock, afternoon tea was over, and Spielberg took the car home. After Fang Minghua and his wife saw him get into the car, they watched the black car slowly drive out of the manor and disappear from sight.

"Minghua, do you think Spielberg will agree?" Song Tangtang asked as he followed Fang Minghua back to the villa.

"I think you should agree. No one has trouble with money." Fang Minghua replied: "And he also knows in his heart that if I let me acquire it, it means that they will cooperate with Shengshi Film and Television to film "Harry Potter". Maybe he won't He values ​​Harry Potter’s box office, but he won’t be interested in the peripherals and derivatives surrounding the movie.”

"Besides, Spielberg's character doesn't like a nosy mother-in-law, and I like to be the hands-off shopkeeper the most," Fang Minghua said.

Song Tangtang nodded after hearing this.

"Tangtang, be prepared to negotiate with Spielberg." Fang Minghua returned to the living room and sat on the sofa and said again.

"I?"

"Of course, you are much better than me in this regard. You select some elite generals from the North American branch to form a negotiation team. I will then ask Zhang Qing and Reda Wen to select financial and legal professionals from their respective firms. People to help you.”

"Okay." Song Tangtang agreed.

When my husband acquires a company, I can rest assured that I will do it myself.

Fang Minghua did not stay in Los Angeles for long. He took his three children to Disneyland for most of the next day, and then took a plane back to San Francisco in the evening.

Both daughters have to go to school the next day.

Song Tangtang stayed in Los Angeles and began to form a negotiation team.

Spielberg responded just two days later this morning, saying he was willing to sell DreamWorks and negotiate with Fang Minghua. The negotiation location was set to be Glendale, where DreamWorks is located.

Fang Minghua immediately agreed and said that Song Tangtang would negotiate with DreamWorks on his behalf. For specific matters, he could contact Song Tangtang.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Minghua called Song Tangtang again to tell her what Spielberg meant. Song Tangtang said on the phone: "Don't worry, I have formed a negotiation team in the past two days, and I will contact Spielberg immediately to discuss it." Negotiate a specific time.”

"Okay, I'll also contact Zhang Qing and Reda Wen and ask them to immediately send elite soldiers and generals to Los Angeles to help you."

The two talked about the negotiation again. After hanging up the phone, Minghua called Zhang Qing and Leda Wen respectively and asked them if they were free and came to my house for afternoon tea.

Radar Wen happily agreed, but Zhang Qing smiled and said on the phone: "Have afternoon tea? Minghua, you don't seem to have this habit?"

"Haha, just follow the local customs. Of course, there is one more important thing that I want you and Dawen to help me with. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, can you please come and we can talk in person." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Boss Fang arranges things. Of course I have time. I will definitely be there in the afternoon."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Reda Wen and Zhang Qing drove to Feroli Manor one after another. The weather was not very good today and it was very cold in spring, so they had afternoon tea in the tea room of the villa.

The two arrived and entered the tea room under the leadership of the servant.

Fang Minghua's tea room has a completely different Western layout from other rooms. It is decorated in Chinese style and antique, with a large tea table in the middle.

In the room, besides Fang Minghua, there was also a foreigner in his early forties sitting in a suit and leather shoes.

The two of them also knew each other. They were Phillips, the president of Xijing Investment, which was just established, and turned out to be Fang Minghua's personal financial advisor.

"Zhang Qing, Dawen, sit down, sit down." Fang Minghua stood up and greeted: "Today's afternoon tea, we will not drink English black tea, but domestic green tea." After speaking, Fang Minghua lifted the purple clay pot on the tea table and poured it for each of them. Had a drink.

"This is Hainan's white sand green tea. It is the first green tea to be released this year. It was sent to me by a friend in Haikou. Please try it."

The two of them each picked up their teacups and tasted it. It was indeed good tea, with a rich and mellow taste.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Seeing Fang Minghua leisurely and contented, Zhang Qing and Radar Wen thought Fang Minghua had nothing important to do, so they drank tea and chatted. After finishing a cup of tea, Radar Wen asked, "Minghua, you said on the phone that you were looking for me and Zhang Qing." I need help, what exactly is it?”

"I plan to use 1.5 billion to acquire Spielberg's DreamWorks." Fang Minghua said.

1.5 billion? !

Reda Wen just took a sip of tea, and when he heard Fang Minghua's words, he opened his mouth wide and looked at him in surprise. As a result, the tea got stuck in his trachea and he coughed suddenly. After a while, he finally stopped coughing and asked.

"Minghua, are you kidding?"

"Mr. Fang is telling the truth. We at Xijing Investment have made preparations for the funds to be allocated." Phillips actually spoke Chinese.

This guy, when did he learn Chinese?

But the accent is really unpleasant.

Fang Minghua simply told the two of them what happened. When Lei Dawen heard it, he couldn't help but sighed: "Minghua, if you don't make a move, it will shock the entire Chinese business circle. Hollywood, known as one of the symbols of the United States, finally has our Chinese presence."

"Don't praise me. It's not certain whether the negotiation will be successful. This time I invite you two to be my guests. I hope you can send your elites to participate in this negotiation and help my wife check it out. I don't want to be a sucker, let alone let those foreigners dig a hole for me. As for the remuneration, you don't have to worry."

"I know that Boss Fang is rich." Lei Dawen made another joke and said, "Don't worry about me. I will send our firm's top lawyer Da Vinci."

"That's fine with me. I will send our senior certified public accountant Christian." Zhang Qing spoke concisely.

The three of them discussed it again. Such a large-scale acquisition involved many financial and legal issues. Finally, they decided that the two law firms would each send a team of three to five people to coordinate with Song Tangtang's team and try to win the acquisition.
