Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

What Jimmy and Charlie were talking to Yang Dongxu about was indeed not a big deal. They just wanted to reduce their holdings in Weta Digital and cash out some of it.

Jimmy encountered some setbacks in his business some time ago and needed some funds. Although Charlie did not encounter any setbacks in his business, he wanted to reduce his shareholding and cash out some money for use.

In recent years, although Weta Digital has become famous through "The Lord of the Rings", and Yang Dongxu has also provided money and support, it has been developing very well.

However, the current shareholder dividends are very small, because most of the profits are used to invest in special effects research and development and various hardware updates.

And looking at Yang Dongxu, it looks like he will never stop R&D and pay dividends until he becomes the world's number one special effects company and makes breakthrough progress.

In the next few years, Weta Digital's dividends are expected to continue to be invested in various research and development, and listing on the market is still far away.

So one of the two people really wants to use money, and the other wants to cash out some of it while Weta Digital is currently developing very positively.

The two people first discussed with Peter. Peter did not have so much money, so the two of them approached Yang Dongxu. The two of them still had feelings for Weta Digital, and they also wanted Weta Digital to be better in the future.

In recent years, Yang Dongxu has insisted on Weta Digital's strategy of continuous research and development. Although they have some objections to not allowing the two to receive too much dividends, they know that this is also for the good of Weta Digital.

"There is no problem in acquiring the shares held by you two, but I want to acquire them all, not just cash out part of them as you said." Yang Dongxu said.

Jimmy and Charlie, who were originally smiling, frowned instantly, and Yang Dongxu continued: "Don't be anxious to get angry, there is a reason why I said this.

First of all, I am very optimistic about the future development of special effects production. In fact, I have been intending to continue to invest heavily in the past few years to continue to expand and develop new special effects fields for him.

The shares you have cashed out are definitely not a small number. If I acquire them all, I will definitely be the largest shareholder of Weta Digital. Then the first thing I will do when I become the largest shareholder is to decide to continue to invest huge sums of money to support the development of Weta Digital.

At this time, the two of you, as well as Peter, will either continue to invest to keep your shares, or your shares will be diluted.

In this way, you have now sold part of the shares in your hands, and then part of the investment shares have been diluted. In total, there is not much left.

It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and sell them all now. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a high price that satisfies you, so that everyone can get together and stay friends.

If you continue to invest and your shares will be diluted, you two will definitely feel uncomfortable, thinking that I am deliberately diluting your shares with capital."

"This..." Yang Dongxu stopped talking, and Jimmy and Charlie, who were originally frowning, had hesitant looks on their faces.

The two of them were actually very optimistic about the future of special effects, otherwise they would not have taken the lead in setting up such a company with Peter. So they couldn't help but hesitate to sell all their shares at once.

"I'm not in a hurry. You two can consider this matter for a while. But to be clear, I still say the same thing. I am very optimistic about the future development of Weta Digital, so I am willing to invest a huge amount of money.

You two are also optimistic about the future development of Weta Digital, but there is a difference between being optimistic and optimistic. I am optimistic and have spare money to invest in it.

What you need to consider is whether Jimmy is more optimistic about the development of his business compared to the future of Weta Digital, or whether Charlie feels that he can make more money by cashing out his shares and selling them at a high price."

This sentence is very obvious. Everyone is optimistic about the future of Weta Digital. However, Yang Dongxu is not only optimistic, but also willing to invest money to continue the development of Weta Digital.

But Jimmy and Charlie obviously don't have as much money as him, so this matter has to be a decision between Weta Digital and their own business, as well as the money they can get from cashing out now.

"Does Peter know about this?" Charlie asked.

Compared with Jimmy, he is actually more entangled, because he doesn't need money very much now, but he wants to cash out part of it. Jimmy is probably more optimistic about his current business, but he is a little hesitant to cash out all at once. But as long as he waits for a while, he

My business capital chain is tight again, I will definitely sell my shares to cash out.

"I have been thinking about this before, but I haven't told Peter yet. I was going to talk about it when I had a meeting with Peter at Hainer yesterday, but I heard Peter say that you are coming to Bob's wedding party today.

I thought about talking about it together, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to sell your shares. So I will talk to Peter about this later.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, because you just said that Peter did not have the money to buy the shares you cashed out. After I bought it, I became the undisputed major shareholder of Weta Digital.

So even if Peter objects to this matter, I will use the power of the major shareholders to continue to push forward. I believe you are also aware of the recovery of the technology industry in recent years. Although special effects is only a niche technology industry, I am really excited about its future.

Take a good look."

"Then let's think about it for a few days before talking." Jimmy and Charlie looked at each other and said.

"Okay, no problem. We are all friends and I won't express my opinion any more than you. But I hope it won't be too long, because I can't stay in the United States for more than a few days.

In fact, when you are considering it, we can sit down and discuss the approximate purchase price. Then if you feel that the purchase price is suitable, it will be better to consider it again."

"Then how much are you going to pay for all the shares held by the two of us?" Charlie asked, and Jimmy also showed a hint of curiosity on his face. It was obvious that both of them were looking forward to the high price Yang Dongxu said.

"I can't give a specific figure for the time being. This needs to be measured based on the current specific development of Weta Digital.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before, I was just a quiet shareholder of Weta Digital and didn't care much, so in the past few days, I will ask my team to conduct a review of Weta Digital as soon as possible.

audit.

Then calculate the price for acquiring your shares at a premium. Don’t worry, the price will not be given for too long, at most two days. When you feel dissatisfied with the price, we can talk again."

"Okay, the two of us will stay in Los Angeles for the next two days and wait for your offer." Jimmy and Charlie nodded, feeling that this offer is indeed more secure.

Yang Dongxu also had enough shares to acquire the shares from two people, so they were willing to listen to the offer. At the same time, the two people also wanted to hear what Peter would think after Yang Dongxu planned to do so.

So the two of them picked up their wine glasses and continued their wandering. They could talk to Peter about this matter later. The party was so lively today, so it was natural to put down the unhappy things first, and then say hello to the people of high status to get closer.

Network. Finally, see if there is a girl you are attracted to who you can spend the night with.

"Hello, Mr. Yang!" Jimmy and Charlie left, and a man came to the sofa seat here with a wine glass.

The person who came was a man, not a woman. When Yang Dongxu came in, he had a lively chat with Bob and others for a while. After that, Bob left and Joss sat here and the two of them talked. The others were very interesting and no one bothered them.

Then Jimmy and Charlie came over. Now they saw that both of them were gone and no one came over, so people started to come over with wine glasses.

"Hello Johnny, just call me Yang." Yang Dongxu raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with Johnny.

Speaking of Johnny Depp, many people may not know him, but when it comes to the pirate captain, everyone has an impression instantly. In fact, for a while, Yang Dongxu sort of confused Johnny Depp and Robert Knepp.

Not sure.

In fact, Asians are somewhat blind to foreigners, so Yang Dongxu always feels that the two people are very similar. Robert Knepp is the one who appeared in "Prison Break" and had a broken hand, which made people think he was a bit crazy or gay.

-bag, or in the movie he is bisexual.

"Then let me call you Yang. My Chinese pronunciation is not very standard, I hope you don't mind." Johnny said with a smile.

In Hollywood, Johnny can be said to be one of the Hollywood stars who is familiar with Yang Dongxu, the boss of Huaxia Film Company. The only reason he is familiar with Yang Dongxu is because when "Pirates of Galibi" was filmed, some of the special effects were produced by Weta Digital

made.

He has heard that Yang Dongxu is the boss of Weta Digital. The other two is that he and Bob are friends. Yang Dongxu and Bob have had a pleasant cooperation in movies, so they have met several times.

Otherwise, he is now considered a first-tier superstar in Hollywood, and he is shrouded in halo wherever he goes. He would not be unmotivated to attend Bob's party.

Of course, with these prerequisites, it can only be regarded as acquaintance with Yang Dongxu but not familiarity. But Johnny was very curious about Yang Dongxu and wanted to get familiar with him, so he came over with a wine glass.

There are two reasons why he wants to get acquainted with Yang Dongxu, a Chinese who is not very popular in Hollywood. One is that Yang Dongxu makes him feel very mysterious and rich.

The second reason is that he was very impressed by this Chinese investment. Johnny also likes to invest. For example, he opens his own brokerage company, invests in friends' record companies, buys wineries, etc., and also likes to buy collectibles.

, in fact, it is an investment based on preferences.

But compared to what he knew, the mysterious Chinese tycoon in front of him made a lot of money from film investments. His own investments never made much profit, and many of them even lost money.

"Your pronunciation is already very good. I heard that your new movie will be released soon. I wish your new movie a great success, and "Pirates of the Caribbean Part 2" will be filmed soon, right?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Thanks for your blessing, Pirates of the Caribbean Part 2 is indeed about to start filming. Director Gore is making final preparations and says it will start filming in March."

"The time will come soon." It's already the end of February, and even if the filming starts at the end of March, it will only take a month.

"Yes, it's coming soon, so I'm afraid that Director Gore will be too strict by then and I won't have time to promote the new movie. The filming party will definitely be dissatisfied."

"Director Gore is not as strict as you say. Be careful if I snitch on you. Besides, you are a big star in Hollywood now. Director Gore also needs to give you face."

"Haha, I didn't say anything bad about Director Gore. I won't admit it if you are snitching. By the way, Yang, have you invested in the second part?"
