Chapter 90 Who doesn’t wear a helmet when fishing?
late at night.
In the dark sky, half of the moon hung sideways, and the stars were twinkling.
Bai Ye took Tangtang into the bathroom and took a bath, wiped her clean, and then took this girl who was as cute as a kitten into her arms.
Tangtang's pretty face was flushed, and she arched her head into Bai Ye's chest, adjusting her position to bring her and Bai Ye's hearts closer together.
"Brother, I love you so much!"
Tangtang kissed the corner of Bai Ye's mouth, murmured softly, and giggled.
"I love you too!"
Bai Ye kissed Tangtang's hair and smiled.
Maybe the person he loves most is not necessarily Tangtang, but the person who loves him most in this world may be Tangtang.
After all, he raised Tangtang single-handedly.
"Then brother, let me give you a child, okay?"
Tangtang blinked and said.
"ah?"
Bai Ye's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he said seriously:
"Tangtang, do you know? Marriage is a bondage for women. Giving birth to children turns girls into reproductive tools. I don't want you to be oppressed and I don't want you to be bound by marriage. Do you understand?"
Tangtang: "..."
If you don’t want to get married, just get married, and you’re just trying to coax me with these words...
Tangtang pursed her lips.
"Okay, let's not talk about these topics full of oppression and exploitation." Bai Ye changed the subject and said, "Tangtang, you can tell your agent that you are going to start acting in movies."
"Movie?"
"Yes." Bai Ye said: "Just two days ago, I established a Mercury Media company with a registered capital of 1.5 billion US dollars, and planned to acquire several film companies in Hollywood. Now the company's CEO and I have prepared two The movie scripts, one is "The Hunger Games" and the other is "Spider-Man", both are A-level productions with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, and the heroines are both you."
Despite Tangtang's rationality, her breathing was a little short at this moment.
Who among those who work in the fashion and entertainment circles wouldn’t want to become a Hollywood A-lister and enjoy the feeling of being noticed by the world?
As a model, even if you reach the position of a Victoria's Secret supermodel, your social status will always be the same. You are eating a bowl of youth rice. You may be asked to retire at any time because you are older. It is cruel.
And to become a Hollywood actor, it means that the sea is vast and the birds can fly, and the flowering period is greatly extended. Even if you are old, you can go to Hollywood to be an elderly special actor and make a living, Meryl ·Isn’t that Streep?
Almost every Victoria's Secret supermodel is keen to get into Hollywood. Unfortunately, for the time being, there is no supermodel who can break through this boundary. At most, she can work in some A-level productions. That’s all.
Tangtang may be the first supermodel to be the heroine of an A-level production movie, which can be regarded as breaking history.
"But brother, can I really be the heroine of an A-level movie?"
Tangtang said a little worriedly.
Although she had known about Bai Ye's arrangements for her before, she and Bai Ye also discussed which medium-sized Hollywood company to acquire, but when the matter came, Tangtang was still a little worried.
"What if I mess up the movie because my acting skills are not up to par?"
"If it's smashed, it's screwed. It doesn't matter. Then just invest in making the next one. If one movie doesn't work, then try another one. If there are a dozen or so movies, there will always be success, right?" Bai Ye smiled and rubbed it. He rubbed Tangtang's head and said, "Tangtang, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely succeed!"
In "Spider-Man 1", the role of Mary Jane...oh, it should be the character named Ken now. She has the image of a girl next door. It is very suitable for Tangtang's current age and mentality. Just play her true self, Bai Ye I don’t think any acting skills are needed. For example, in the Chinese A-level movie "Red Cliff", is it possible that Mrs. Kurosawa became the heroine of the movie just because of her good acting skills?
hehe!
A person has a big Tiantian who belongs to his own movie universe. He has acted in so many movies, but he still continues to act, and he is lucky enough to become famous!
As for "The Hunger Games", it's a commercial film and the heroine just needs to be cool. What kind of acting skills are needed?
Well, the eldest cousin did win the Best Actress Award from Osborne, but how did that come about... Hehe, anyone with a discerning eye knows it by heart. When Bai Ye thought of his eldest cousin being crushed by Harvey's fat pig, tsk tsk, he said to the eldest cousin This woman can't even think about it...
"Brother, you are so good!"
Tangtang pounced on Bai Ye.
Well, she felt that Bai Ye's kindness could only be repaid by a spring of water.
…
The next day, early morning.
The sky is white, and a breath of fresh air spreads across the world. Everything is pure and refreshing.
The red light of the sun, full of hope, shot to the ground like a rocket, reflecting the flames of boiling oil.
After Bai Ye was dressed neatly, she came to the other side of the boat. Tangtang was half asleep and half awake. Bai Ye smiled, kissed Tangtang's smooth and delicate face, and said softly:
"I have something to do today and I can't accompany you. You have to take care of yourself."
"Uh-huh!"
The sleepy Tangtang rubbed her eyes and nodded.
She was so sleepy that she barely slept the whole night.
Although she is mortal, she is not like Bai Ye, who has a body of steel and can always maintain the state of being a dragon and a tiger.
"Also, I have sent the scripts of "Spider-Man" and "The Hunger Games" to your mobile phone. When you are free, you can check them out. If things go well in the past two days, they will be available soon. The staff of Mercury Media are here to contact you."
Bai Ye added.
When it comes to work, Tangtang is much more conscious:
"I know, brother!"
"Goodbye then!"
Bai Ye patted Tangtang on the head, turned around and left the bedroom.
Tangtang faced Bai Ye’s back and shouted:
"Brother, you must be careful on the road."
Bai Ye made an OK gesture.
After leaving Tangtang's house, he went straight to JFK Airport in the middle of the night. He and Ikana had agreed to accompany her to Los Angeles today to solve the acquisition case quickly.
Bai Ye didn't have much thought, so he waited patiently, because saving millions or tens of millions of dollars would probably take several months to complete the acquisition. He had to speed up the pace and make sure to start the deal before Tony returned to New York. Mercury Media's name.
Otherwise, when the time comes, all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear all over New York, leaving people overwhelmed.
"coming."
Ikana was already waiting for him in the VIP lounge of the airport.
She wore a gray windbreaker and changed the inner layer to a white shirt, creating a color contrast.
The white shirt is also paired with a gray inner layer, which not only keeps warm but also achieves the "layering" effect.
In order to reflect the overall "sassy" feeling, a pure white belt was tied around the waist as an embellishment. The two or three thin belts that fell down looked like tassels from a distance, adding a touch of playfulness to the tough windbreaker.
Wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes with two glossy leather underneath, they echo each other with the black bag on her hand, avoiding the overall top-heavy visual sense, and the overall look is full of attack.
After all, you are preparing for business negotiations, so of course you need to show a strong sense of style, rather than being sweet.
"You came so early?"
Byakuya smiled and sat next to Ikana.
"I went to bed early last night." Ikana glanced at Bai Ye and said, "It's not like some people who stayed up all night, right?"
"No way! Don't slander me!"
Bai Ye retorted:
"And Ikana, do you know? I checked last night and found that your father is in Florida and didn't call you at all. You lied to me!"
"Ah?"
This time it was Ikana's turn to be embarrassed.
Last night when she saw Bai Ye eating so many oysters, she knew that she couldn't bear it at all, so she thought of a way to have someone call her temporarily and ask her away so that she could land smoothly. A soft landing.
I didn't expect that Bai Ye would be so bored that he would investigate such a trivial matter...
"Okay, let's not make trouble over such a trivial matter anymore. The plane is about to take off."
Ikana did not dare to provoke Bai Ye anymore and could only change the topic.
After about ten minutes, it was really time for the plane to take off.
Sitting inside the plane, watching the plane pass the runway and take off, Baiye looked down at JFK Airport below and shook his head:
"How can anyone ride in a convertible without a helmet? Is this any different from not wearing a helmet when fishing?"
Santa Monica, California.
Summit Entertainment Headquarters.
"Mr. Osborne, Miss Ikana, wait a moment, the coffee will be delivered soon."
Summit Entertainment’s Chairman Patrick Wattsberg and CEO Robert Lehman are warmly entertaining Bai Ye and Ikana.
The two of them must have informed Summit Entertainment before coming here, rather than coming rashly.
"I won't drink the coffee." Bai Ye said straight to the point: "Chairman Patrick, Osborne wants to acquire Summit Entertainment and enter Hollywood. Please set a price!"
Patrick didn't expect Bai Ye to be so direct. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said:
"Summit Entertainment welcomes all investors to join this big family. If Osborne is willing to invest in Summit Entertainment, I will be happy to accept it."
Summit Entertainment is a very good medium-sized company, worth about US$300 million, and its current operating conditions are very good.
But the head effect works in all industries.
The smaller the company, the harder it is to develop.
If Summit Entertainment could thrive with Osborne's help and make the cake bigger, only a fool would refuse.
"Chairman Patrick, I don't know if there was any error in the communication." Bai Ye did not accept his words and said: "Osborne is preparing to acquire Summit Entertainment, not inject capital. Let's put it bluntly, O Siben is willing to fully acquire Summit Entertainment at a valuation of US$350 million."
The valuation of US$350 million definitely exceeds the value of Summit Entertainment itself, and there is a certain premium.
But Bai Ye doesn't care. He cares more about the cost of his own time rather than the mere tens of millions of dollars in money.
Being able to acquire Summit Entertainment faster, with less fuss and more money is not a problem at all.
The smile on Patrick's face froze. After a while, he considered his words:
"Thank you Mr. Osborne for your importance to Summit Entertainment. This is our honor, but I'm sorry... Summit Entertainment currently has no plans to sell."
When Patrick co-founded Summit Entertainment with two friends, he also had his own ambitions, which was to make a career in Hollywood instead of leaving immediately after getting a quick buck.
He had put a lot of effort into Summit Entertainment, so how could he be willing to sell the company all of a sudden?
Of course, Patrick is not willing to break up with a plutocrat like Osborne:
"However, if Osborne is willing to invest in Summit Entertainment, I can give up my position as the major shareholder."
In the shareholding structure of Summit Entertainment, Patrick holds 40% of the shares and is the company's major shareholder, while the other two friends each hold 30% of the shares.
As a major shareholder, he is basically the actual controller of a company. If he hands over his position as major shareholder, Patrick also believes that he and his two friends can still suppress Osborne. Summit Entertainment is still his.
——Before this, Patrick received the news that Osborne was indeed planning to acquire Summit Entertainment. But last night, he thought about it over and over all night, and he figured it out. He didn’t want to sell Summit Entertainment. He was very worried. He enjoys being in the spotlight of the Hollywood world, having the power to influence everything, and living a life of coming and going with Hollywood superstars and powerful celebrities. Now, he can no longer let go of these. He turned around and started doing some business. It was too tiring and too dishonorable.
"Major shareholder? Haha..."
Bai Ye directly threw out a document:
"You should take a look first and then talk."
Patrick took it over and looked at it in confusion, and saw that it was an equity transfer statement. Another shareholder of Summit Entertainment, Bob Hayward, was willing to transfer 30% of his shares at a valuation of US$350 million. To Mercury Media.
Bai Ye didn't just talk nonsense, and he was going to acquire Summit Entertainment recklessly. Instead, after confirming that he wanted to acquire Summit Entertainment, he started to collect information about the three shareholders of Summit Entertainment and started the layout. Now that he is here, he has reached the point where he is about to acquire it. It's harvest season and it's time to pick the sweet fruits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Los Angeles for nothing. Does he really think he is free?
"Chairman Patrick, you regard Summit Entertainment as your own business, but others may not think so." Bai Ye smiled: "In addition to Summit Entertainment, Bob Hayward is also engaged in medical device-related business. Coincidentally, Osborne is the largest medical and pharmaceutical company in the world. I just provided him with a connection. After I met the general manager of Osborne's California branch, he was willing to transfer his shares of Summit Entertainment to me. .”
Patrick took a deep breath. He was a little angry. The three of them had agreed at the beginning that they would always advance and retreat together to create a world that belongs to them in Hollywood. Now that their careers have not succeeded, someone backed down and gave him a knife in the back. , how could he not be angry?
Damn it!
Even if you are tempted by the terms offered by the other party because of your business, can you tell me first before you sell me?
As a result, now, someone caught me off guard!
"Mr. Osborne, I can only say, congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Summit Entertainment, but I will not sell the shares in my hands." Patrick said very forcefully: "You hold 30% of the shares, and you don't have any usefulness!"
"Is it really useless?" Bai Yeruo smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Patrick, haven't you heard that your good friend David Garrett has been complaining recently that his capital chain is very tight? Many Commercial banks all said that he had financial problems and were unwilling to give him a loan. He even wanted to go overseas to find a bank for a loan."
"Did you, Osborne, tell those banks not to lend money to David?" Patrick's mind turned and he reacted instantly, glaring at Bai Ye: "Isn't it too despicable for you to do this?"
"Don't talk nonsense. You must pay attention to evidence when doing things. Be careful of getting sued for slandering me." Bai Ye smiled slightly and said: "I think by this time, the head of Wells Fargo's Los Angeles region should have found David Garrett who is willing to give He issued loans..."
Before Bai Ye finished speaking, his mobile phone placed on the table rang.
Bai Ye took it over and looked at it, then smiled:
"Mr. David Garrett has just signed the share transfer letter for Summit Entertainment. Chairman Patrick, now I am the majority shareholder of Summit Entertainment."
"Since all the shareholders are here, I propose that a shareholders' meeting be held now to elect the new chairman of Summit Entertainment. I propose that I serve as the new chairman of Summit Entertainment. Those who agree raise their hands... Well, more than 60% of the votes were cast. So now I am the chairman of Summit Entertainment."
In a matter of seconds, the new chairman of Summit Entertainment was born.
Bai Ye straightened his clothes, stood up, and was about to take office, but he glanced at Patrick, who was still sitting still, and said in surprise: "Mr. Patrick, why are you sitting in my seat?"
Patrick: "..."
"Okay, now bookmark this share transfer." Bai Ye threw the document to Patrick again and said, "If you don't sign, maybe I can't do anything to you, but now the control of Summit Entertainment is already in I have it in my hands. Next, I will inject a large amount of capital into Summit Entertainment, will you follow? I think, if you don’t have the capital, invest with me. Then your shares will be diluted, why bother? Even , within the next ten years, Summit Entertainment will no longer pay dividends. Without this money, will there be any problems with the capital chain of your other businesses? Sign it!"
Patrick was silent for a long time, and then he reached out and picked up the signature pen. His hand trembled slightly. After hesitating for a long time, he signed the equity transfer letter.
He really cannot afford the consequences of Summit Entertainment not paying dividends for ten years.
"mean!"
He threw down the signature pen and looked at Bai Ye fiercely:
"You're a backstabbing guy!"
"Nonsense, who said I can only stab people in the back?"
Bai Ye glanced at Patrick dissatisfied, and then looked at Ikana:
"I've stabbed quite a few people in front of their faces, right?"
Well, the kind where a dry knife goes in and a wet knife comes out...
Ikana: "..."
I recommend a new book by an excellent author, "Cultivation of Immortality: I am a human being, not a human race"
