From dusk sunset to the skyscrapers, the lights lit up, forming a sea of ​​lights in Manhattan.

Estiatorio Milos Restaurant, known as bringing Greece to New York City. Olive trees and beach umbrellas create a very interesting Greek style. It is a good place to "stolen half a day" in the reinforced concrete New York City.

It has a bright and airy atmosphere, and it displays a lot of fresh vegetables, seafood and fishery in the middle of the hall like a market, allowing diners to immediately arouse appetite when they see these colorful ingredients.

"bite--"

On the white dining table, Arthur held a goblet with red wine with an elegant smile and the wine glass in the hands of Amc CEO Gary Lopez, drank together, looked at each other, put down the wine glasses one after another.

"Haha, believe in my information, you should be very clear. I can only be considered a newcomer in the business world, but the biggest advantage of me is that I understand and are willing to share the fruits of success with others. My philosophy is that everyone can make money together and make money together.

For example, the coastal power plant that has just been launched has created dozens of millionaires at once. I have never been a stingy person... "

Arthur smiled and looked at Gary Lopez opposite him and said sincerely. Gary Lopez also nodded in agreement with what the young Count said.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so difficult this time to acquire the amc theater company. The five major holding funds are completely squeezing the potential value of amc, bearing such huge debts, but they are still using new debts to repay old debts, accumulating more debts, and want to make another profit through iPo.

To be honest, the prospects of amc theater companies are very worrying. If they succeed in listing and before the debt expires, they will definitely get rid of the amc company that was sucked into blood by them. At that time, someone will take over this mess and it is okay to be willing to spend money. Once the debt defaults, the company will have the only way to go bankrupt and protect it.

I believe that this is by no means what the company's management and all employees want to see. Of course, even if my acquisition failed this time and the five major funds messed up the company, there will be other capitals waiting for opportunities in secret. Capital is eternal, cold, and the most efficient, and the war in the capital market will never stop.

But what I want to tell you is that my emphasis on amc theaters is not on using it to make money and capital operation, but on really wanting to do a good job in theaters. I want to build an international theater chain across North America and Europe!

I hope that as the management team who knows the best of AMC, I can help me complete the acquisition, otherwise I will be blocked by them and you will continue to fall victim to their arbitrage and financial operations.”

Arthur's words were insincere and thorough, and the reality was not hidden at all. It also made Gary Lopez, who was originally smiling, condensed his expression, his eyes were too long, and he frowned and thoughtful.

Arthur did not disturb Gary's contemplation at all, but waited patiently, picked up the red wine and took a sip, and gracefully put the wine glass back on the dining table.

"What can you get if management cooperates with your acquisition? Can you promise to protect the main person in charge of the golden parachute?"

When Arthur heard the other party’s question, he couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckled. The so-called golden parachute protection, which is the resignation compensation plan, is generally a preparation for counter-acquisition.

"If you need it, I can promise to protect the golden parachute, but what I hope is that the management can stay and continue to work for the amc theater company. I hope that the smooth transition can be completed. I also need you professional management talents to help me run the management company."

Arthur agreed without hesitation, and at the same time he expressed his importance to their management team. He smiled brightly and stretched out his fingers. He continued to say to Gary Lopez, who was slightly moved when he heard his words.

"According to my understanding, the income system of amc is divided into three parts, basic annual salary, annual performance bonus, and long-term equity incentives. Right?"

Gary Lopez looked at Arthur who stretched out three fingers and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."

"... Among them, the annual performance bonus is divided into the company's performance and personal performance parts. If my acquisition is successful, then during the transition period, my requirement is that the net profit of amc is US$1 million as the assessment standard. If it does not reach US$1 million, the company's performance part in the annual performance bonus will not be paid.

If more than $1 million, management can receive the agreed annual performance bonus. If every step of net profit exceeds $1 million, AMC will pay an additional annual performance bonus of 5% of the annual performance bonus. The individual performance part assessment is not based on net income, but based on whether the key performance assessment meets the standards, including the contribution to strategic contribution and financial goals. What do you think of this requirement?"

Arthur looked at Gary Lopez, whose eyes became extremely bright as he said, and couldn't help but smile, saying that nothing else was useful, nothing could match real money.

"No problem at all, and I believe everyone will be very satisfied!"

"Haha..." Arthur said happily: "That's good. Of course, the bonuses for the personal incentive portion of the management will also be greatly increased. For example, your incentive amount can be increased from 70% of the annual salary to 90%, and the incentive amounts of executive vice presidents Craig Ramsey and John McDonald can also be increased from 65% of the annual salary to 70%.

As for equity incentives... If the amc listing in the future, I can set a limit on the share reward, that is, 10% of the total number of shares to the management!"

"call--"

Hearing the conditions offered by Arthur, Gary Lopez was really moved, and exhaled heavily in his heart. He looked at the young and indifferent British count opposite, and had a lot of favor and admiration.

Although I am young, my style and pattern are indeed very large. The conditions given are very down-to-earth and irresistible.

"Thank you for your attention to us. I believe that my colleagues will be very happy with the generous treatment you have given."

Hearing Gary's words, Arthur's smile became brighter and brighter. He knew that the effect of his promise to spend money was very successful. At the same time, he also saw how unpopular the five controlling shareholders were in the amc theater.

Those who run a business, no management likes shareholders to cash out profits in various ways, draw blood from the company, and squeeze the company's value. Even if shareholders give these management high treatment, they are undoubtedly using their careers to exchange for short-term huge profits.

Of course, Arthur naturally would not just spend money. He naturally had the same requirements for these management teams to give them generous treatment. Both parties knew very well, but now, it is not the time to say that Arthur has not yet acquired Amc.

However, these promises can allow Arthur to get the sincere help of the Amc management. There is nothing better than fighting inside and outside.

After a pleasant dinner, Gary Lopez contacted all the senior management staff with Arthur's generous promise and held a video conference together to unify his thinking and make decisions.

The next morning, Arthur received a call from Gary Lopez and sent someone to get a file bag from him. Seeing the extremely detailed business list, asset directory, debt list, and various confidential information in it, he couldn't help but smile happily.
Chapter completed!
