The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

What Jimmy and Charlie had talked to Yang Dongxu was really not a big deal, but the two wanted to reduce their holdings in Weta Digital and cash out part of it.

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

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

But at present, dividends to shareholders are very small, because most of the profits are used to invest in the research and development of special effects and various hardware updates.

And looking at Yang Dongxu's appearance, he looks like he will never become the world's number one special effects company, and will never stop research and development dividends if he does not make breakthroughs.

It is estimated that Weta Digital's dividends will continue to be invested in various research and development in the next few years, and the listing is even far away.

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

The two discussed it with Peter first. Peter didn't have so much money, so they approached Yang Dongxu. The two still have feelings for Weta Digital, and they also want Weta Digital to be better in the future.

In the past few years, Yang Dongxu has insisted on Weta Digital's continuous research and development strategy. Although they have some opinions on not letting them get too much dividends, they know that this is also for the good of Weta Digital.

"It's no problem to buy the shares in the hands of the two of you, but I want to buy them all, not just cash out part of what you said." Yang Dongxu said.

Jimmy and Charlie, who were originally smiling, frowned instantly, and Yang Dongxu continued to say: "Don't worry about getting angry, I have a reason for saying this.

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

There must be a lot of shares that you have cashed out. If I buy them all, it will definitely be the largest shareholder of Weta Digital. Then the first thing I did when I became the largest shareholder was to decide to continue to invest huge sums of money to support the development of Weta Digital.

At this time, the two of you, including Peter, must either continue to follow the investment to keep the shares in your hands, or the shares in your hands will be diluted.

In this way, you now sell part of the shares in your hands, and then part of the investment shares are diluted, and there is not much left in the overall calculation.

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

In order not to continue to invest in the shares and be diluted when the time comes, the two people must feel uncomfortable, thinking that I am deliberately diluting the shares in your hands with a large amount of capital. "

"This." After stopping Yang Dongxu's words, Jimmy and Charlie, who were originally frowning, had a look of hesitation on their faces.

The two of them are actually very optimistic about the future of special effects, otherwise they would not have taken the lead to start such a company with Peter. So I can't help but hesitate to sell all the shares in my hand at once.

"I'm not in a hurry. The two of you can think about this matter for a while. But let's make it clear, it's still the same sentence. I am very optimistic about the future development of Weta Digital, so I am willing to invest a lot of money.

The two of you 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 own business than the future of Weta Digital, or whether Charlie feels that he can earn more by selling the shares at a high price now. "

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 are obviously not as rich as him, so in this matter, we have to make a choice between Weta Digital and his own business, and the money we get from cashing out now.

"Does Peter know about this?" Charlie asked.

Compared with Jimmy, he is actually more entangled, because he doesn't really need money now, but he wants to cash out part of it. And 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, his business capital chain will be tight again, and he will definitely sell his shares to cash out.

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

I wanted to talk about it together, but I didn't expect you to propose to sell the shares in your hand. So I'll talk to Peter about this later.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you say it or not, because you just said that Peter has no money to buy the shares you have cashed out. And 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 shareholder to continue to advance. You must be well aware of the recovery of the technology industry in recent years. Although special effects is only a niche technology industry, I am really optimistic about its future. "

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

"It's okay, we are all friends and I won't express my opinion before you. But I hope it won't be too long, because I can't stay in the United States for a few days.

In fact, when you are thinking about it, let's sit down and discuss the approximate purchase price. Then you feel that the purchase price is appropriate, and it will be better to think about it. "

"Then how much money are you going to spend to buy all the shares in the hands of the two of us?" Charlie asked, and Jimmy also showed a little curiosity on his face. Obviously, the two of them were looking forward to the high price that Yang Dongxu said.

"For the time being, I have no way to give a specific figure. This needs to be measured according to the current specific development of Weta Digital.

Before, I was just quietly being a shareholder of Weta Digital and didn’t take much care of it, so I will ask my team to conduct an audit of Weta Digital as soon as possible in the past few days.

Then calculate the price to buy the shares in your hands at a premium. Rest assured that the time given for this price will not be too long, up to two days. At that time, if 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 such an offer is indeed more secure.

And Yang Dongxu has enough shares in the acquisition of two people, so they are willing to listen to the offer before talking about it. At the same time, the two of them also wanted to hear what Peter only knew about Yang Dongxu's plans.

So the two of them picked up their wine glasses and continued their wandering. We can talk to Peter about this matter later. Today's party is so lively, it's natural to let go of the unhappy things first, and then say hello to people of high status to strengthen your network. Finally, let's see if there is a girl who makes my heart beat and can spend a good night together.

"Young Master Yang, hello!" Jimmy and Charlie left, and came to the sofa seat alone with a glass of wine.

The person who came was a man, not a woman. When Yang Dongxu came in, he had a hot chat with Bob and others for a while, and then Bob left and Jos sat here and talked with them, and the others were very sensible and no one bothered.

Then Jimmy and Charlie came over, and now seeing that both of them had left, no one came over, so people began to come over with wine glasses.

"Hi Johnny, just call me Yang." Yang Dongxu raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Johnny.

Speaking of Johnny Depp, many people may not know him, but when it comes to the pirate captain, everyone will have an impression in an instant. In fact, for a while, Yang Dongxu was a little confused about Johnny Depp and Robert Knepp.

In fact, Asians are more or less face-blind to foreigners, so Yang Dongxu always feels that the two people are very similar. Robert Knepper is the T who starred in "Prison Break" with a broken hand, which makes people feel a little crazy or gay. -bag, or that he's bisexual in the movie.

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

On the Hollywood side, Johnny can be said to be one of the Hollywood stars for Yang Dongxu, the owner of Huaxia Film Company. The only reason why I am familiar with Yang Dongxu is that when "Pirates of Garribi" was filmed, some of the special effects were made by Weta Digital.

He has heard that Yang Dongxu is the boss of Weta Digital. The second is that he and Bob are friends. Yang Dongxu and Bob are happy to cooperate in film, so they have met a few times.

Otherwise, he would be considered a first-tier superstar in Hollywood now, and he would be shrouded in a halo wherever he went. Will not fail to inspire 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 acquainted with him, so he came over with a wine glass.

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

The second is because the Huaxia man's investment surprised him. Johnny also likes to invest. For example, he opened his own brokerage company, invested in his friend's record company, bought a winery, etc., and likes to buy collectibles. In fact, it is a kind of investment according to his preferences.

It's just that compared to what he knew, the mysterious Chinese rich man in front of him made a lot of money in film investment. His own investment is always not much profitable, and even many are still losing money.

"Your pronunciation is already very good. I heard that your new movie is about to be released. I wish your new movie a big hit, and the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean Part II" is about to start?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your blessing. The second part of Pirates of the Caribbean is indeed about to start filming. Director Gore is currently making final preparations, saying that it will start filming in March."

"The time is coming soon." It is already the end of February, 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 at that time, 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 said. Be careful, I will report you. Besides, you are a big star in Hollywood now. Director Gore has to show face."

"Haha, I didn't say anything bad about Director Gore. I won't admit it if you make a small report. By the way, Yang, did you invest in the second film?"
