American Fortune Life
Chapter 610: AMC Preparing to Be Wild
After handing over the matter of excavating the foot of the wall to the headhunting company, Andy stopped paying attention to the matter. Everything that could be settled with money was small. Everything that could be bought with money was cheap. For him now, the understanding of both sentences was more thorough.
Money alone cannot be earned. It is also expensive. Some people do not spend money in order to be regarded as a millionaire. Money also needs to be learned. Ordinary people traded money for the right to free time, and now Andy's wealth is enough to support money in exchange for more free time.
At lunchtime, Andy picked up Ivana at the cp building and found a restaurant near Manhattan. Andy was also increasingly unconscious in his quest for food, so that his body would allow him to choose YU, which was a snarky mouth.
Although Ivana was very happy because of Andy's return, the impact on the CP company of the complete collapse of the real estate market in the current financial crisis was enormous, even though Andy had warned her earlier, contracted and prepared a lot of winter cash, but a large number of customers defaulted and the stock of houses skyrocketed, leaving her as executive vice president a bit of a mess.
As the executive vice president of the CP Group dedicated to acquisition and development, she has powers that other family members, or other executive presidents, have never enjoyed, and as a strong business woman, she is resilient, passionate about her work, putting more pressure on this financial crisis than others, about CP...
He spent more time on reality shows, Andy was a little speechless, and "Celebrity Apprentice" was the most popular show in the United States when it aired, and it definitely made CP more proud of the adults aged 18-49, and every time he appeared in front of the camera, he kept his eyes open, his mouth shut, a very arrogant pair, and I looked really naughty, as for the real estate company, okay, he had a smart, work-friendly daughter, and two sons who fought with his daughter to watch for him.
“Honey, you can't be so spinning...” Andy looked at Ivana across the street with some pity and said.
“It's okay, I took a day off yesterday, and I have a little more work to do this morning, so don't worry.” Ivana smiled sweetly, trying to hide the tiredness in her eyes and took a sip of wine.
“Don't lie to me, last night at around 11: 00, you got up and worked again, it really pissed you off, I should ignore your plea for forgiveness and faint you directly...” Andy doesn't have a good gutter.
Ivana looked around and looked at it. Her face was slightly red and she took a sip. She kicked Andy under the table for a second. There was nothing wrong with her boyfriend's words.
“Don't be ridiculous, the impact of this crisis on the company is very troublesome, but it is also an opportunity to grind things up, and I have to do something for the company.” Ivana mumbled to Andy.
“ ”Andy opened his mouth and finally sighed, without saying anything right. He really didn't know what to say about this woman who had been torn apart by herself for a day, her tui soft feet, and when he fell asleep, she climbed up to work.
Looking at it as another elegant, confident, spirited workaholic girlfriend walking into the cp building, Andy helplessly shook her head and laughed bitterly, her personality determined her destiny, Ivana was born to be good at coordinating parties, weighing pros and cons, and making deals. That would undoubtedly make her a successful businessman.
In the luxurious office of the AMC Cable TV chairman, Andy had a relaxed look on his face, his back resting on the boss's chair, a couple of documents in his hand to look over, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and the irony was obvious.
Blonde hair was tied to a ponytail, wearing a black silk short-sleeved shirt, a white tight thin fabric pencil pants that outlined the incredibly slim and straight tui, Amanda, with a smile on her face all the time, a sparkling eye that had never moved away from Andy's face, leaving Prapler, CEO of AMC TV sitting next to her, in a difficult position, he really didn't want to be in a room with both of them, the atmosphere was too vague.
But he was also helpless, he could only laugh secretly, the big boss did not ask him to leave, he could only stay honest.
“Oh, that's funny.” Andy closed the folder, threw it on the desk, and the ridicule was more intense on his face, but anyone could see he was still in a good mood, "they dared to think," Do I look like a fool? I already control AMC TV, and besides, TV is not a listed company, how could I have promised to buy the remaining shares at a premium, not even at the price I had previously acquired? ”
“Since Rainbow Holdings is loose, I think it's a good idea to buy the shares in their hands. Although we can dilute each other's shares with capital, it's not going to be that long and effective. As long as they have shares in their hands, we can't kick them out completely, which is a hassle.” Amanda couldn't help but smile when she heard Andy say it, gracefully sticking out her fingers and putting a strand of hair down her cheek behind her ears, making her own suggestion.
“What do you think?” Andy nodded, looking at CEO Prapler.
“I agree with Miss Amanda's suggestion that, in fact, it's not just Rainbow Holdings accident, but a lot of people are surprised that you suddenly have access to AMC Cable TV. In the beginning, Rainbow Holdings was worried about getting kicked out of the game by introducing a lot of shareholders. Nobody thought that the boss would be able to complete the acquisition of half of the shares so decisively and quickly, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Rainbow Holdings. You know, they've spent a lot of money and done a lot of work on this cable TV station and the TV network, and now all of a sudden they're the boss. You can imagine how frustrated Rainbow Holdings will be.
However, the subprime mortgage crisis, the global stock market plummeted, and Rainbow Holdings' stock will naturally not be spared. The loss of AMC TV is compounded by the fact that stock prices have been cut off directly, and the downward trend has not abated. To some extent, this time, loose mouth is willing to sell the shares in hand, which is also a major factor. ”
When he became CEO of AMC TV, Prepler cared more about his current job than the big boss and the idiot Miss Hearst, so he cared more than anyone about Rainbow Holdings, you know he was an airborne unit, he definitely didn't want the previous TV owner to mess up his job.
Andy lowered his head, his eyes twinkled with a sly light, the curvature at the corner of his mouth was even more obvious, and he reached for his chin and thought.
To be honest, he wanted to cut meat with a blunt knife, boil frogs with warm water, dilute each other's shares with capital, then invest the money in TV drama production, launch a few excellent performances, and get high with HBO.
But now, Rainbow Holdings surrenders its guns and doesn't play with him anymore, which makes him a little uncomfortable. Nima, I robbed your hard-established TV station, why don't you play!
Cough, okay, a little cheap to sell, but this way, it takes a lot of money to complete the acquisition, which somewhat disrupts his plan, but this is a difficult opportunity, Rainbow Holdings is anxious to get out, hoping to use the good news to mitigate the stock decline, after all, they are now completely marginalized and powerless on AMC Cable Station, the key is Andy, the big shareholder is divided into hostilities, before AMC TV has risen, they can only watch Rainbow Holdings dilute their shares with Andy's one injection, this is a masculine ploy, it's better to get out before it's too early.
However, since the conditions are so beneficial to you, naturally you should make good use of it to press the price, you want to buy your own premium, oh, you want to go blind!
“Well, I'll let people form a negotiating team and talk to them, and I won't accept the offer above, and I'm not too much money to spend... ”
And before Andy finished, Amanda laughed and said, "I want 12 percent of the stock. Twenty percent. ”
Andy whispered at her, ignoring her, took two pages of paper out of her bag and handed it to Prapler, saying: "This is the outline of a television play I thought of, Spartacus Blood and Sand, which mainly tells the history of Spartacus' blood tears from slave to hero, betrayed by the Romans, exiled into slavery, turned into gladiators, assembled other gladiator slaves to fight for freedom.
Although this passage is the most famous legend in Roman history. But the results I want are all listed, so the TV's script writer can perfect the script, and I'll revise it again. ”
As soon as Prapler heard the big boss's idea, he glanced at his eyes and reached out to pick it up, but Amanda on the other side of the road snatched it first. He couldn't help but smoke the corner of his mouth and heard Amanda's voice, “I am the content officer and should be given to me. ”
“Cough, Amanda, don't make a scene.” Andy was anxious to get the outline back, and he said something embarrassing. He knows how to write his outline, Spartacus, this drama is bloody and LU! Point images, all kinds of commercial elements pile up, and their outlines don't go very well.
Amanda noticed something different about Andy, and became more interested in the outline of the story. Curiosity killed the cat, avoiding Andy's robbery, leaning back as hard as she could, looking at the manuscript in her hand.
“ Andy, you're challenging the scale of TV! Are we really going to change the style? ”Amanda was not ashamed of herself, but frowned and asked, handing the manuscript to Prapler beside her.
“Yes, I'm just going to change my style and use the taboo stimulation, the vision is nothing, HUANG ~! Violent, dirty, completely unfettered by advertisers, viewing rate, and considering the quality of the work and its suitability to the needs of the target audience as a top priority, giving creators the freedom to create, Advertisement Maniac may be able to win a lot of awards, but the viewing rate is absolutely no better than blood and sand, use this to tell everyone that AMC has the capital to play big production, big scenes, and have the money to play QING! “
Andy knew very well how successful HBO was going to be in the future, and now that he knew it, he would naturally replicate that path.
