Silicon Valley

Chapter 165

When Schweide and Scott Davis heard the words, they both showed a trace of embarrassment when they saw their calculations being seen through by Henry, but on the surface they definitely couldn't admit it...

Schweide said: "Mr. Williams, you think too much, how could we possibly do this?"

"Haha," Henry shrugged, "That may be the case. The so-called peers are enemies. After all, Nicholas Express is in a competitive relationship with your company..."

Henry said, paused again, and smiled: "So, if the Nicholas Group still has absolute control, I don't mind cross-exchange..."

Henry has great ambitions. While ensuring the absolute control of Nicholas Express, he also wants to infiltrate FedEx and UPS by means of cross-share swaps, and nibble them away little by little! These two companies have a large number of shareholders, and the number of shares held is relatively scattered. Due to the good development, the shareholders are not willing to sell their shares. Therefore, it is impossible to acquire them in a short time. The only way is to prepare for a long-term acquisition. When the shares obtained have a huge say in the company, they will promote the merger plan of several express delivery companies!

At present, it is already the world's strongest express company UPS United Parcel Service + FedEx + Nicholas Express with great potential = super invincible giant logistics company! ! !

Schweide and Scott Davis thought about it, then looked at each other and nodded slightly. After all, Nicholas Express has great potential for development, and it will not take long to grow and become a courier company close to their level. Therefore, if they exchange shares now, while the market value of Nicholas Express is still low, they can take advantage!

Schweide said: "Okay, then we have a smaller number of cross-exchanges. We FedEx will exchange 3% of the shares for 12.5% ​​of Nicholas Express..."

After Schweide finished speaking, Scott Davis continued: "Then our ups United Parcel Service will exchange 2.5% of the shares for 12.5% ​​of Nicholas Express! The remaining 75% of the shares, Your company Nicholas Group and Nel Logistics will share one share according to the shareholding ratio, and you can also share 56.25%, achieving absolute control!"

Henry didn't answer, but smiled.

"Don't have 5% of the shares? Then there is no right to speak..." Henry said lightly. However, according to the provisions of the "Company Law", shareholders with more than 5% of the shares have the right to request the listed company to disclose information, and have certain voting rights at the shareholders' meeting. That way you won't get caught!

"What do you mean?" Schweider asked.

"It's simple, the Nicholas Group is financing two companies!" Henry laughed, "In this way, don't you have a 5% stake!"

The two frowned slightly. He could also vaguely see Henry's intention, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Henry's appetite is so great! However, this matter cannot be easily agreed. If a wolf is brought into the house, the company will be controlled by him...

"There is no need for financing, and we are currently in a very good financial position as an ups company!" Scott Davis said.

Schweide also refused: "We FedEx do not need financing..."

"Oh. That's it. Let's forget it... It seems that you are going to go for nothing!" Henry said regretfully.

Schweider and Scott Davis smiled and said nothing. After that, there was no mention of cross-exchange.

Ten minutes later, Henry sent the two of them out of the company.

Henry looked at their backs and murmured, "If there is a chance, I still have to secretly buy some shares in their company..."

The first-week box office of "Desert Island" exceeded 100 million US dollars, ranking first at the box office of the week. shocked many people. In the next three weeks, "Desert Island" still ranked first at the box office. In just one month, "Desert Island" generated a total of 280 million US dollars at the box office in North America. At the same time, movies have also been released overseas one after another. Although the box office effect is not as good as in the United States, it is also very popular!

At this time, the American newspaper reported: "The film "Remaining Island" was originally distributed by Warner Films. As a result, in order to release the film "Robin Hood," which it invested in, Warner Films snatched the film from "Remaining Island". It took a thousand screens and eventually led to Galaxy Films 'walking away' and refusing to cooperate with Warner Films! Now it seems that Warners' decision is undoubtedly a huge mistake. Although the movie "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" is not bad, But the global box office is only about 200 million US dollars, but "Desert Island" can completely beat "Robin Hood" with the North American box office alone, and the global box office total may exceed 500 million US dollars!"

The movie "The Rest of the Desert Island" came out a few years in advance, and the shock was indeed not small. In addition, the publicity is also much stronger than the previous life's "Remaining Island", and there are online virus marketing techniques, which make American audiences full of expectations for this film. Not only that, under the influence of IMDB, the movie "Remaining Island" has also won a lot of screens, with a total of more than 5,000 yuan, which is much more than in the previous life! ! !

Combining the above conditions, it is not surprising that the box office is higher than that of the previous life! However, Henry was still a little surprised when he heard the figure of $500 million!

At this time, Warner Bros. watched the box office of "The Rest of the Desert" soaring, and it really regretted it. However, a bigger blow is yet to come!

On April 30, Henry attended the "Jurassic Park" movie conference held by Galaxy Films as the original author and screenwriter of "Jurassic Park". The preparatory work for this movie has been done for more than a month, and the development and construction of "Jurassic Park" has already begun on Baranov Island, the tenth largest island in the United States!

Industrial Light and Magic and Galaxy Special Effects have also started to make various dinosaur molds and work in combination with computer special effects!

So, on this day, the dinosaur movie that shocked the world finally came! ! !

At the press conference, big names gathered. Henry Williams, the world's billionaire, Marcy Phillimon, CEO of IMDB Holdings, Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Films, George Lucas, CEO of Industrial Light and Magic, and many Hollywood movie stars!

In addition to these, also came the Universal CEO Steve Booker and the famous director Steven Spielberg!

This time, Galaxy Films will collaborate with Universal on Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg of Universal! Relying on the IMDB cinema chain, Galaxy Films can have huge distribution capabilities in the United States, but overseas, it is stretched! ! !

The movie "Jurassic Park" will not only shock the United States, but also the whole world. The box office miracle it creates is unbelievable, and the surrounding benefits are even more amazing. For the sake of safety, Henry does not allow After a loss, I finally decided to cooperate with Universal and let it undertake overseas distribution, and even the director did not change, it was still directed by Spielberg!

Spielberg originally didn't want to direct the film. He wanted to make "The Schindler's List", but Universal didn't want to make such a serious literary film because he was worried about the box office.

But Henry understands what kind of influence this film will bring. This film is about the suffering of Jews and has the support of many Jews. In the United States, many Jews are rich and powerful people. The movie will get their favor, and doing things in the United States will be smoother!

Not only that, "Schindler's List" is still quite high at the box office, reaching $310 million at the global box office! So Henry dug a corner. Since your Universal company is not willing to invest in the filming, let Galaxy Films do the filming, and in this way, Spielberg will also agree to film "Jurassic Park"! ! !

Universal can't ask for it. You Galaxy Films like to be fools, so be it. We Universal is not so stupid!

Therefore, Universal immediately surrendered and agreed to let Galaxy Films invest in the production of "Schindler's List"! ! !

Henry snickered in his heart, and wait for two years, who is stupid!

The press conference began. As the film production company of "Jurassic Park", Galaxy Films CEO Bobby Robin took the stage and made a speech: "Welcome all media to participate in this "Jurassic Park" film conference, although The film has not yet started, but we have done enough preparations! Our special effects will be jointly created by Galaxy Special Effects and Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, the North American distribution of the film will be jointly distributed by Galaxy Films and IMDB Holdings Group, and the overseas distribution of the film will be made by Universal will take it. Also, we want to tell you that to make this movie, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars to lease and develop the entire Baranov Island in Alaska, and the movie will be shot on location here, Barra Nove Island is the tenth largest island in the United States. It is magnificent and majestic. I think that after the film is shot, it will definitely shock you!!!"

The reporters in the audience were shocked when they heard it. Nima, it's so dangling. It cost 100 million US dollars to rent the entire island to make a movie, and the development cost will not be cheap. , Damn, how much will this Nima film of "Jurassic Park" cost? ! ! ! !
