David Geffen was stunned and nodded immediately.

"Mr. Xia, I've read the reports about you, it's really amazing!" He said with a smile, "I'm just a genius after earning 10 billion US dollars in four years."

"Thank you for your praise." Xia Tian nodded.

"Mr. Xia, I find that you seem to be playing a big game now." David Geffen said with a smile again.

"Oh?!How did you see it?" Xia Tian smiled.

"Columbia Pictures, Rainbow Media Holdings, and now it's a record company..." David Geffen smiled, "Do you want to be an entertainment tycoon?"

"Mr. Geffen has a sharp look and has seen through my little thoughts." Xia Tian nodded with a smile, "Yes, I do have plans to be an entertainment tycoon."

"You are honest." David Geffen smiled, "but aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to raise the price? After all, you are sure to win the record company, and my Geffen Records is the best player in the American record industry and is your best acquisition target."

"Not afraid." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "Sit up and pay back the money by landing, and having business with business. Mr. Geffen, you can bid well, we have time and can negotiate slowly."

"Okay." David Geffen nodded, "Then I'll make a bid. I want to sell this record company for $400 million."

"Four hundred million US dollars?" Michelle was stunned and looked at Xia Tian in surprise.

Their previous estimate of the price was US$300 million, which is more appropriate. If it exceeds this price, it will be a bit of a loss for buying it.

"There is no problem for 400 million US dollars." But Xia Tian nodded and agreed in one breath, "But there is an additional condition."

"What?!" David Geffen was a little surprised to see Xia Tian actually agreed to his price of $400 million, and then asked.

Michel also looked at Xia Tian in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would agree to such an outrageous price. This was 100 million US dollars more than they expected, and 100 million US dollars is really not a small amount.

"Mr. Geffen will stay in the company for at least five years." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "If you agree, I will promise you a price of 400 million US dollars."

"What if I don't agree?" David Geffen was stunned when he saw Xia Tian say this, and asked with a smile.

"Then I will only spend $100 million to acquire it." Xia Tian replied.

Geffen Records’ most important asset is not its singers or its music library, but David Geffen. As long as he is there, he can continuously explore singers for the company, launch best-selling records, and make a lot of profits for the company. On the contrary, if he is gone, Geffen Records will become a stagnant pool, leaving only a slowly stinking portion.

In summer, I want to buy a record company that operates well and can create profits for myself continuously, rather than a record company that is sunset and has a waste of money.

"So, in your heart, I am worth 300 million US dollars myself?" David Geffen said in surprise when he heard Xia Tian say this.

Xia Tian nodded. In his previous life, David Geffen made $6.5 billion by establishing Geffen Records, DreamWorks, etc., and was one of the richest people in Hollywood. It can be said that if he could buy him 300 million, he would still make a profit.

"Mr. Geffen, I believe in your value, and I look forward to working with you, too." Xia Tian said with a smile, "How about it, can I have this honor?"

"Okay, I haven't figured out what to do next," David Geffen said with a smile, "Let's stay in the company first."

"Well, there are five years left, I think enough for you to figure out what to do next." Xia Tian smiled.

"Good words." David Geffen nodded.

...

After the negotiations, Xia Tian immediately signed a contract for the acquisition with David Geffen, and agreed in the contract that his annual salary would be as high as US$3 million, plus a dividend of 5% of the profits. In addition, there is another additional condition that he must stay in the record company for five years, not resign or change jobs.

Summer was not worried that David Geffen would be passively slacking off because it would not do him at all.

The United States is a society with a very complete business credit system. Before employees leave, they need their employer to write a recommendation letter. If there is a very convincing recommendation letter, it will become much easier to find a job. On the contrary, if the former employer gives bad comments, it will be difficult to find a good job again.

Besides, the news spreads very quickly in the American entertainment industry. If a person passively slacking off and causes losses to the company, his reputation will easily become bad if he spreads. At that time, who dares to hire such a person without business ethics? Who else can cooperate with such an infamous person?

In fact, it is easy to tell whether a person is working hard or eating in a corpse position. He can't hide it from others when he is a monk and hits a bell every day.

And for an outstanding person like David Geffen, he would not waste his time in order to punish summer. Passive slacking off is also an irresponsible act to himself.

Finally, he took a step back and said that even if he was really passive and slacking off, Xia Tian was not worried. At worst, he would be dismissed and demoted him to an office boy, leaving him to waste five years in the company.

At that time, even if he is paid in vain to his annual salary of three million US dollars, what if he is in vain? The most precious five years in his life will be wasted. Speaking of which, he will still suffer a lot.

...

Another day was delayed in order to sign the contract.

Xia Tian knew that he could not drag him anymore and had to fly back to Hong Kong immediately, otherwise he would not be able to reach the Splendid Film Festival.

Before leaving, Xia Tian finally met David Geffen and taught him the opportunity in person.

"Mr. Geffen, you know my ambitions, so I don't say much nonsense. I hope you will acquire American record companies." He suggested, "You will decide the acquisition project, and I will pay the acquisition funds. I want to make Geffen Records one of the world's largest record companies in three to five years."

"Okay, I will do it." David Geffen nodded with a smile when he heard this, and seemed not surprised.

"Thank you." Xia Tian smiled and said, "In addition, you are professional in discovering new people and launching records. I hope you can continue to work hard, so I won't give you any advice."

"Don't worry, these are my duties, I will do it well." David Geffen agreed with a smile.

"That's it." Xia Tian nodded, "Mr. Geffen, goodbye. Although I haven't known you for a long time, I think you are a very good person. I hope you can chat with you next time I come to the United States."

"I'm looking forward to having a good chat with you, too." David Geffen looked at Xia Tian with a smile, and his ambiguous eyes made him feel a cold war.

"I really should leave, I have to get on the plane." Xia Tian quickly stepped back and said, "Go bye Mr. Geffen."
