Last time Downey asked Martin and was accepted back by him. The situation at that time was not so bad as it is now. Now there are huge losses in two blockbusters, and the shareholders can't sit still. They asked Martin to give an explanation, and asked Martin to take decisive measures to at least take back the statement that he won't sell to foreign consortia.
Several important shareholders sent representatives to the scene this time. With so many shareholders present, Downey believed that Martin would converge. Who knows, Martin was still so arrogant and resolutely refused to take back such remarks.
Downey had to do good or bad to make peace: "taking back this remark does not mean that you have to sell to foreign consortia and more buyers join, which will help stimulate the market price of the company. What do you think the people of the four investment banks are doing? They jointly regard the company as meat and jointly lower his price."
Martin said, "I can't do it, Donny! Just as you can't eat your own shit!"
Downey's face sank and said, "you're harming the interests of shareholders. If you insist on doing so, we'll have to vote to remove you!"
Martin said, "are you sure?"
Donny didn't dare to respond to the other party's aggressive eyes, lowered his head and said, "this is a forced choice."
Martin looked gloomy and said, "for example, where did I harm the interests of shareholders? In the first two quarters of this year, your return was 300%. Please tell me, whose interests did I harm there? Tell me, who lost even a penny?" Martin said. Finally, it was a slap on the table.
Downey was speechless.
Martin's eyes were cold and said, "if that one is unhappy, you can quit at any time. After the formalities are completed in an hour, you can take your money and leave."
All those who were targeted by Martin lowered their heads for fear that Martin would take the opportunity to clean them. Martin shorted Sonny's World War I, which was fierce and beautiful. More importantly, the return was amazing. The typical three years did not develop the market, but who would have too much money? Columbia and MGM pictures are big fat meat. Who doesn't want to touch it, but Martin is extremely strong. His meat is not allowed to be touched by anyone.
He must be playing a trick that others don't know, but this damn high-profile stands on the moral highland: "don't sell to foreigners, this is the bottom line. If that one has objection, stand up and say it!"
One of the shareholder representatives was still tough and said proudly: "Columbia and MGM films were bought with the money of the foundation, that is, our money. With your current practices, we have enough reasons to suspect that you have an shady collusion with the four major investment banks to jointly pit the shareholders' money. You must take decisive measures."
Martin said: "Before joining my foundation, the first thing is to trust me and trust me sincerely. I will make money for you. Why? Because trust is very difficult, especially on Wall Street. If you can do this, you can get rich returns. Yes, I am a tyrant, but I am right. My investment vision will bring you rich returns."
The shareholder representative said: "power cannot be without supervision, no matter who it is."
Martin said, "are you the representative of the European Douglas foundation? Congratulations, the Douglas foundation is out. Today you can take your money back to Europe."
The representative looked pale and said, "you can't do this." the guy didn't play cards according to the rules like a madman. He asked other tire owners for help and said, "Davis can do this to me and you. Don't you do anything to show our unity?"
As a result, all shareholders raised their hands to support the representative. Downey shrugged and said, "Martin, you must respect everyone's opinions."
Martin said: "this is troublesome. So many people quit. You must give me three days before I have enough time to go through your exit procedures and raise enough cash to return your money."
The implication is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and death will not compromise.
All shareholders turned pale.
Downey looked pale and said, "your foundation will be dissolved."
Martin said: "it can also maintain the operation of the foundation. I believe that if I open the investment threshold, many funds will be willing to join."
Downey couldn't laugh and said, "you don't have to do this? Everyone is for the good of the foundation."
Martin said: "no! You must understand that we are only a cooperative relationship. I am not your wage earner. You have violated the first and most important article of the foundation. The basis of our cooperation will no longer exist. You are out."
The whole meeting room was silent and the needle dropping could be heard. They knew Davis was strong, but they didn't expect him to be crazy?
Downey looked pale. He said, "do you know the consequences of what you did? We will all be enemies in the future."
Martin said, "Sonny is my enemy. He's finished. I'm looking for a sacrifice knife. Who is interested in joining this list?"
Downey said, "you are so arrogant that you don't care what Mr. Morgan thinks of you?"
Martin said: "What Mr. Morgan wants is a champion horse, not a watchdog. Why do I emphasize trust again and again, because trust is difficult. If you trust me, you will get a gift. If you doubt me, you will be punished. The basis of our cooperation no longer exists. There is no other choice but to break up. Your money will not be less, and it is several percentage points higher than the interest of the bank. This is in the contract "There's a clear agreement," he said, taking out his mobile phone and sending text messages.
When Downey saw a guy who was at the helm of the wind, he first said, "Martin, don't do this?" others also softened one after another, including Douglas fund, which was just the toughest fund.
Under Martin's strong power, they chose to be soft. Martin stopped at a good time and said: "Davis fund is difficult to get in and easy to get out. You must trust me, give me the money and let me earn more money for you. How to earn it is my business. I only believe in my vision and judgment. If you like to dictate, you can open your own company. I'm a partner, not a wage earner. Whose fund has such a high return in these difficult times Newspaper? Only mine, and what have I got? Doubt and blame. If anyone thinks he has done better than me, I can make good. "
The others were silent. Once Martin became powerful, they all withdrew and voted to remove Martin from his post. It was just a joke.
Martin said: "I'm tired of Columbia Pictures and MGM pictures. They are separated from each other. The investment is large and the return is slow. We buy them with about 9 billion yuan and will certainly make a profit. Just look at how much we earn. If anyone can sell the price of more than 18 billion yuan, take the money. Congratulations, it's yours."
Shareholders are secretly scolding that when the two film companies are in Sonny's hands, they are worth at least 17 billion yuan. Only when you make a mess, will they depreciate again and again. Two consecutive blockbusters with huge losses depreciate again and again. Among the four major investment banks, Bear Stearns, with the highest quotation, has only 9.3 billion yuan. They basically have no profit. The four investment banks work together secretly to exclude and fight Beat other competitors, make others dare not quote, and eat their fat meat.
Downey said, "what do you plan to do?"
Martin said: "it will be solved in three days! You will get the money in three days. I don't want to play any more. As long as it's not a hard work in vain, I'll get rid of it. I invite all buyers. We take the way of secret investment. The one with the highest price will get it. We only accept cash, not stocks and bonds."
Martin sneered. There must be people colluding with the four investment banks here. They took the opportunity to let out and let these greedy guys plant a big somersault. If they didn't have a backhand, they would die.
Martin said, "it's all right, break up!"
Almost as soon as Martin announced the adjournment of the meeting, mark received a text message from Martin: "sell tomorrow, dark investment."
Mark said to David Wang, Sophia, egger, Megan and David at the meeting, "it's our turn!"
Martin's so-called closed door meeting was indeed a sieve. In only half an hour, the news that Davis was going to sell Columbia and MGM films spread all over Hollywood and Wall Street, and all those who wanted to move.
At work the next day, Davis's office officially announced the news and officially accepted the registration. It had to pay a deposit of US $100 million and a registration fee of US $2 million. The deadline was to get off work today and close the door tomorrow.
On the same day, a total of 21 buyers signed up, including four major investment banks, such as news Corporation, Time Warner, Viacom and Disney. This is a big piece of meat fat. Who doesn't want to get involved? They registered a shell company to operate.
Like the Canadian banker, Frank Gusta, the famous Lion Gate, established Lion Gate film in 1997. At that time, he hoped to invest in the booming film industry. In the early stage, the company purchased many small production equipment and distributors.
Its first commercially successful film was the American mental patient, which began its controversial journey in the mainstream film industry in the United States. Other noteworthy films include the most painful man, gods and demons, angry against the law of heaven and the documentary Fahrenheit 911 directed by Michael Moore , this film undoubtedly makes Lions Gate reach another peak, and this summer's Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a great success.
The banker was rich and powerful, but he was determined to be big. He once controlled 20% of MGM's shares, but was frustrated by tycoon cork. This time, Columbia and MGM pictures fell into Davis's hands. He was the first to make an offer, and the offer was the highest. However, because he was Canadian, Davis directly rejected him, but he was not discouraged , he hooked up with a small company and pushed them out to make signs.
There are several people like gutaf who have escaped Martin's restrictions in this way. The four investment banks have strong capital, but they have not reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. There are many people who want to take a share in this time. "
