Hollywood legendary director

Scott's answer is not emboldened, but it is indeed the most true answer in his heart-he now represents the opinions of most shareholders, and of course he does not want Lyman to intervene in the board of directors too much.

It is almost conceivable that once the reorganization occurs, the shareholder representatives will be dominated by Lehman. This is inevitable.

"But we also need some means to protect our own interests." Joseph still smiled, and Lehman remained silent.

"So, what do you mean?"

"As mentioned earlier, once Firefly Pictures becomes a shareholder, in addition to assuming bank debts, it will also invest 50 million US dollars in technology research and development. However, there is a requirement that the board of directors should not be reorganized, but the ab system should be adopted. Half of the voting rights plus the priority of subsequent capital injections."

"In other words, the board of directors has to give up half of the seats, and subsequent share transactions can't stagger Firefly Pictures?" After Scott knew the answer, his expression couldn't help but become gloomy.

It is not unexpected to have a request, and it is also in Scott's expectation-he glanced at Lyman: Is it fun to play deeply?

Scott didn't believe what the man said without Lyman's approval.

In other words, Lyman borrowed Joseph's words to give his own terms.

"This can't work. How can I manage the company if I have half the seats?"

Joseph was not at all affected by Scott’s tone, and several other shareholder representatives were also muttering something privately...but it didn’t matter. He had a very talkative look on his face, "If half of it doesn’t work, you can talk. But we need to formulate a performance agreement for the senior management. If the company still loses money for years and it cannot protect the interests of shareholders, what should we do? Resign?"

"No, most of the visual effects companies are operating at a loss. They are robbing the market and updating their technical reserves. This is for future profits." Scott said helplessly.

He hadn't really thought that the digital field would be able to achieve a balance of payments in recent years-unless there are big projects every year, it would be difficult to do it when Cameron was still there.

"But if Firefly Pictures does not intervene in personnel affairs, there must be a restriction clause. Otherwise, you should buy back the shares and become a major shareholder yourself. We give up." Joseph said with a serious face.

But the more serious, the more irritating.

Lyman on the side saw Scott's suffocated temper, he couldn't help being a little funny-unexpectedly, this guy's mouth was so hurt.

After Lehman sighed, he hurriedly came out to make a round. After all, he still quite recognized the value of the digital field. As for Scott worrying about laymen leading the insiders and intervening in management at will, he is as unreliable as Cameron... so. In fact, it wasn't that he deliberately targeted - this product really has a deep love for the digital field and devoted all his energy.

"Well, Scott, what we mean is that Firefly Pictures needs a certain right to speak, not something to seize power. The reason why I want to buy shares in the digital field is to value the visual effects technology you developed, so if you let You no longer manage the digital field, and we can't be willing, do you understand?" Lehman said: "However, the necessary maintenance methods are also taken for granted. It is impossible for us to invest a large sum of money and say nothing. This is unrealistic. Voting seats and repurchase rights are only a kind of protection. If the company operates without problems, we will certainly have no trouble, but what if? Our interests are affected, and we have to defend our rights. I hope you can understand the order of priority."

Scott is not honest, but he can't be said to be a shrewd technical talent. When Lehman said this, with his face, he really couldn't refuse.

After all, everyone has said that the company has nothing to say if there is no problem, and it is reasonable for the major shareholders in question to come forward.

How can this be refuted?

So far, Lehman has been very polite for this.

If he doesn't understand the visual effects circle and is an outsider, his first step is to reorganize the board of directors with shareholders, and he can bypass the management directly.

But he still didn't do this, because in the Internet industry, talent is more important than assets, which is a place that relies heavily on creativity.

Moreover, Scott Rose does have a level, what the digital field lacks is a stable source of funding, not technology.At least, not now.

Currently on the market, in addition to Industrial Light and Magic and Weta Digital, they are the most powerful in the digital field. The three almost share 80% of the global revenue in the field of visual effects, of which Industrial Light and Magic accounts for half.

This is the result.

Of course, this does not mean that Lehman is willing to have no one to control Scott in the company. He is the first shareholder and has absolute controlling rights. Even if he does not know the technology, Scott is only a partner, and can be a senior. Workers, not equal players.

He is not qualified...

Looking at the confident Lyman and the brilliantly smiling Joseph, as if everything was just a normal request, Scott found himself in a predicament-Lyman is not Cameron, he is not grumpy. It is not annoying, and even most shareholders think that his participation is very beneficial to the digital field.

To be honest, if it were not for Scott's past authority and recognition, these shareholders and investors would not come forward to support him. After all, they only want benefits, not ideals.

In other words, of all those present, only Scott regarded the digital realm as hard work and could not bear to be ruined.Others are regarded as tools, a tool for profitable layout.

As for the owner of the tool?Does that matter?

"Scott, the financial situation in the digital field is not good. At present, the biggest competitors are quickly grabbing the market. Do you hope that the digital field will be left behind by them in the future? Especially Industrial Light and Magic. As long as we agree to our requirements, The usual management is still the same. I will immediately inject 50 million in capital, and your shares will not be reduced. If this is not possible, many things will not be able to be discussed."

Scott thought silently, and finally nodded.

He knew that he wanted to defeat Industrial Light and Magic.

Prove to the rude person that there is no lack of anyone in the digital field, and it is not unnecessary junk assets.

As long as he does not make mistakes and does not give Lehman a chance, he believes that the digital field will go on smoothly.

Even thinking about it in a better direction, Lehman at least likes to be reasonable, and he is more in touch than the unreasonable Cameron.

Moreover, this man has money...

After some wrangling, under the witness of shareholders, Scott and Lehman finally signed a standby agreement. If there is a decision to lose shareholder’s income in the digital field, Lehman has a right to deny and shareholders sell their Lehman can buy shares first.
