Chapter 625 The Backlog of Work (Part 2)
Apple's market value is actually not so high that it is outrageous, and it can reach about 50 or 6 billion US dollars now.
However, Apple's shareholding structure is too complex, with too many shareholders, and there are very few stocks on the market.
Since Guo Tailai asked Lin Jiayi to sweep the stock market, there have been basically no retail investors taking action.
For this reason, Lin Jiayi alone pulled out an apple on the Nasdaq for a little while.
However, even if you buy goods at a high price, you will only have 1.5% of the shares in Guo Tailai, and you will have a small shareholder.
Now Microsoft is willing to sell a batch of Apple shares, and of course Guo Tailai is willing to take over.
At this time, when Apple takes over the market, it will be considered that the return on investment exceeds one hundred times, right?
Lin Jiayi had known that her boss was interested in Apple and Amazon's stocks, so she was not surprised by Guo Tailai's answer: "I have arranged for the team to connect with Microsoft, just wait for the price to be negotiated."
The following work reports are basically shareholder meetings of some companies involved in the investment, and there is nothing particularly new.
Lin Jiayi knew that Guo Tailai was not particularly interested in these things, as long as she controlled the overall situation, so the report was not particularly detailed, and she just gave a data summary.
In short, judging from the current situation, all the assets in hand are rising steadily, and no investment has failed.
“Aren’t these very good?”
Guo Tailai looked at Lin Jiayi in confusion: "Everything goes well, then Sister Lin, why are you still anxious?"
"James recommended a production company."
Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly and looked at Guo Tailai and replied: "I can't make the decision."
"The price is less than 50 million US dollars, you can decide!"
Guo Tailai said without caring.
He had given Lin Jiayi such an authorization, and Lin Jiayi has always been worthy of his trust.
“The price is relatively high.”
Lin Jiayi reached out and handed over a document: "It's over 200 million US dollars."
"No way?"
Guo Tailai was shocked: "I just need to find a Hollywood production company to produce it! How could I recommend such a big company?"
"James thinks this company is suitable, has enough production capabilities, and has certain distribution capabilities."
Lin Jiayi replied: "At that time, the issuance can be cooperated with other companies and will not be at the mercy of others."
Guo Tailai opened the information casually and looked through it.
The company recommended by James is called artisanentertainment. Some translate it as Artisanentertainment, while others translate it as Artisanentertainment. Of course, this is not important.
Importantly, when Guo Tailai opened it, he saw two famously produced videos, one was the "Vanilla Sky" of "The Witch" and the other was "Blair Witch 2".
Relatively speaking, this company has not produced many videos, but has released more than hundreds of videos.
What surprised Guo Tailai was that the released films also included Mr. Governor's "Ultimate", "Terminator 2", "Comprehensive Memories", and "Traveling the Evil".
Stallone's "The First Blood" trilogy, in addition to "Instinct", "Blair the Witch", "Dogs in the Water", "Jedi Men", and even "The Last Emperor", "The Black Man", etc., which can be said to be an experienced production and distribution company.
In addition, the company also owns the copyright of some videos. Guo Tailai flipped it out and said that "Terminator" is also included, but the copyright of the sequel is not there.
Of course, a considerable number of those with relatively high valuations are the film library it owns. The company has the complete copyright of more than 6,000 complete films, which is quite rare.
"According to this information, can you shoot the fourth episode of "The First Blood" by winning Yijiang Entertainment?"
Guo Tailai asked curiously.
“In theory, yes.
Artists have the copyright of the first blood series.”
Lin Jiayi nodded and said, "If you like action movies, artisans and several films by Longgele monk Ge Yundon."
"Then can I put these older action stars together to make a tough guy hodgepodge?"
Guo Tailai asked with a smile.
These guys are all gathered together, isn’t it just “The Expendables”?
A collection of tough guys and old guys.
"certainly!"
Lin Jiayi replied without hesitation: "As long as you pay enough for your boss, and your influence, I don't think anyone will refuse."
"What do you mean?"
Guo Tailai knew that Lin Jiayi could not decide, so he left the question to him: "If you want to buy it, how much does it cost to buy it?"
"At least 200 million US dollars, maybe another 10 or 20 million."
Lin Jiayi has done her homework and replied without hesitation: "From the asset side alone, this transaction will not be compensated, and it will also increase the production and distribution capabilities of Feifei's film.
In addition, the huge film library is also an asset. In the Internet era, traditional copyrights also have some online copyrights. These authorizations will be a long-term and stable income at that time."
"So, what is the risk?"
Guo Tailai asked: "Or, what is our problem?"
Lin Jiayi can't decide, it's definitely not just a matter of money.
Of course she knew that the 200 million US dollars for the boss was not serious enough to hurt the funds. She would not lose all her money even if she lost money after investing. She was so worried that she must have other problems.
“We don’t have professional managers who are trustworthy in this regard.”
Lin Jiayi quickly replied: "It is easy to sign an acquisition contract, but it is not that easy to manage and run a Hollywood production and distribution company.
There will be many problems in this.”
Lin Jiayi’s words were very straightforward, and Guo Tailai understood it in seconds.
There are too many problems among them, professionals, Hollywood's external exclusion, hidden rules, connections, film grading approval committees, copyrights, various trade unions, finance, theaters, etc.
As Lin Jiayi said, it is easy to sign, but it is not that easy to manage and operate well later.
“What is the most direct benefit?”
Guo Tailai thought for a while, then asked again.
"They have a mature production team, plus James' team, which can start projects in the shortest time, and it's also very beneficial to release."
Lin Jiayi replied: "In addition, the production company is clearly supporting Feifei, and the invisible support behind all kinds of big names is still different, and it is more direct and effective."
"I'll consider it again and find out if there is a suitable candidate."
Guo Tailai was also unable to decide at once. Running a company is completely different from owning it. If you don’t have reliable personnel, you are using money to waste your money.
"Okay, boss!"
Lin Jiayi is not so worried now, and she will feel relieved if she leaves the problem to her boss.
"Sister Lin."
Guo Tailai suddenly asked: "You said, if I really buy it and then push Feifei hard, will it be the same as the boss of Debao in Xiangjiang just to promote my girlfriend?"
“It doesn’t seem to make any difference.”
