Angus took a sip of his coffee and said, "Mr. Xiao, I hope that Paramount Movies can establish a solid alliance with your Magic Visual Effects. In the future, you will be in charge of all the special effects in Paramount's movies. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course it's good. This way, we won't have to worry about nothing for Magic Visual Effects. "
Angus said, "In exchange, I hope that you can sell me 10% of Magic Visual Effects's shares. For this, I can give you 5% of Paramount Movie Theater's shares. With Paramount Movie Theater, you can come to Hollywood to expand your business. What do you think? "
Paramount Movie Theater was the second largest movie theater in America. It was mainly located in the north-central part of America. It had 12000 screens and was valued at 30 billion USD.
Angus giving Xiao Yunhai 5% of the movie theater's shares was worth 1.5 billion USD. Angus had to admit that Angus had invested a lot in order to get the Magic City.
If it was someone else, they might not be able to resist the temptation and agree to it immediately. However, Xiao Yunhai was not one of them.
For 5% of Paramount Movie Theater's shares, Xiao Yunhai would never lose control of Magic Visual Effects.
"Mr. Angus, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this."
Angus frowned. "Why? 1.5 billion USD for 10% of Magic City's shares. You should be getting a bargain. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "If I agree to this, I will only be left with 41% of the shares. The Magic City will no longer be my Magic City. To be honest, I'm a Hua Xia person. My roots are not here. Once I lose control, I can't predict what will happen in the future. Your company and MGM Grand are both Hollywood's eight biggest companies. Although there are conflicts between you two, you also work together frequently. What if the two of you work together to deal with me? Wouldn't I be done for? "
"I can tell you now that no matter what happens in the future, my 51% shares will never change."
"Mr. Xiao, don't you want to reconsider?" Angor asked.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "There's no need to reconsider. My bottom line is 51% of the shares. This will not change. Mr. An Ge, Paramount Film Company is one of the eight giants of Hollywood. I, Xiao Yunhai, have no intention to be your enemy. You should be well aware of the power of Magic Visual Effects. Paramount's movie can cooperate with Magic City, which is your best choice. In Hollywood, other than the special effects teams under the seven major companies, the standards of the other special effects companies were generally very low. Mr. Ang, you can't possibly let Paramount's movie be made by your rival's special effects company, right? "
An Ge shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Thomas shouldn't have offended you, Mr. Xiao. You're right. This is the reason why Paramount values Magic City so much. "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. An Ge, can I take it that your company has a favor to ask of me?"
Angor frowned. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Business is business. My special effects company is now Paramount's only lifeline. If you can't grab hold of it, then Paramount won't be able to make a blockbuster for the next three years. Tell me, if you were in my position, wouldn't you want some benefits as well? "
Angor said angrily, "Mr. Xiao, don't forget. The one talking to you now is Paramount. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course I know. Mr. An Ge, you don't have to be so angry. I'm a martial artist, and I'm naturally courageous. You can't scare me. "
Angor narrowed his eyes and said, "We don't have to cooperate with Magic City. With Paramount's ability, we have the ability to build a special effects team in a short time. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It seems that Mr. An Ge has forgotten the most important thing. The 52 most important technical patents of Magic City are in my hands. If I'm not willing to let your company use them, do you think you can develop another set of special effects technology in a short time? "
Angor was stunned. He couldn't help but scold Thomas again in his mind. He said, "Mr. Xiao, please tell me your conditions. You'd better not go overboard. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Actually, my conditions are very simple. As you said just now, I want to become one of the shareholders of Paramount Cinemas. I want to buy 5% shares of Paramount Cinemas with 1.5 billion USD."
Angor said without hesitation, "That's impossible."
Xiao Yunhai said, "No, it's possible. I'm just exchanging the shares of Magic City for cash. Relatively speaking, you're taking advantage of me. Mr. An Ge, I heard that your company has spent a lot of money shooting three blockbusters. Without the help of Magic City, do you think they can succeed? "
Angor's eyes were as sharp as swords. He said, "Mr. Xiao, you'd better not challenge my bottom line. You're standing in Hollywood."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Mr. An Ge, you're threatening me again. I think your bodyguard, Mr. Wang Yao, should have told you not to play tricks with me. Do you believe that I have the ability to make you and your family disappear overnight? Even the police won't be able to find anything. "
After that, Xiao Yunhai picked up Angor's cup and poured the coffee on the floor. He clapped his hands and used his hidden force to open the cup. When he opened it again, the cup had turned into powder.
Angor was shocked by Xiao Yunhai's tricks. He said, "Are you doing magic?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Of course not. I'm just proving to you that I have the ability to make you look at me differently. "
An Ge looked at the cold killing intent in the depths of Xiao Yunhai's eyes, and his entire body couldn't help but shiver. He faintly felt a trace of fear towards Xiao Yunhai.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai didn't have any other choice. If he didn't use tricks to suppress Angor, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
The atmosphere between the two of them became very heavy. It seemed that they were both thinking about their own problems.
Three minutes later, Xiao Yunhai spoke first, "Mr. An Ge, I'm a person who follows the rules. I've never used violence to achieve my goals. You don't have to worry about that. What do you think about my suggestion, Mr. An Ge? If you're not willing, then forget it. Magic Visual Effects will still do the special effects for your movie, but the price will be set according to the market price. Thank you for the coffee, Mr. An Ge. Goodbye. "
"Please wait." Angor looked at Xiao Yunhai, who had already stood up, and suddenly laughed. He reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao is indeed a dragon among men. I really admire you. I'm willing to sell you 5% of the cinema chain's shares to make friends with you. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed, shook his hand, and said: "Then thank you very much, Mister An Ge. Don't worry, Magic City will definitely put in 200% effort for your company's movie. "
Angor smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We definitely will."
After sending Xiao Yunhai to the hotel, Angor's face immediately turned ashen.
"Thomas, that b * stard, he really pissed me off."
In order to prevent Xiao Yunhai from having absolute control of the shares, Angor originally wanted to buy Xiao Yunhai's shares of Magic Visual Effects. In the end, not only did he not succeed, but he was also threatened by Xiao Yunhai to get 5% of Paramount Cinemas' shares from him. He really went for wool and came home shorn.
He had no choice. He really did need the help of Magic Visual Effects. Otherwise, the three movies that cost more than 400 million USD this year would be ruined.
That was a huge loss.
"Mr. Xiao, you win this time. But there's still a long way to go. Let's wait and see. "
Angor couldn't help but clench his fists and curse in his heart.
