Chapter 185 Work hard for the acquisition of Western Electric Company!
Of course, Slope could understand what I said, and laughed and said to me: "Don't worry, why don't you? I have a certain right to speak in the Los Angeles Consortium. That guy Litton is easy to solve. It depends mainly on Lockheed. If he agrees, there will be basically no problem."
"That's good, that's good." Seeing that Northrop had been pulled over by me now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Northrop, is my second brother okay now?" After talking about the main business, there was no sign of Lockheed and Leedon. I casually asked about my second brother's situation. He and Northrop were tired of being together all day long, and Northrop knew his situation best.
"Your second brother, hehe, he lives a free and easy life than me! Let me tell you, what kind of Burbank transportation company he asked to open, I was frightened by him at that time. You said that a gangster, what kind of company you do? Then you will be exposed to the sun in broad daylight. Most of our business is shameless, but he said that he would register the next day of opening the company, and the development later was pretty good. He made a lot of money, such as grain, vegetables, and meat, and he did the normal business of arms and wine smuggling. Good guy, in just one or two months, your second brother has a lot of money in his hands! Andre, your second brother is a character! I admire him very much!" As long as Northrop mentioned my second brother, he would have endless things to say, and he was full of surprises from beginning to end.
"I asked him to do the transportation company." I smiled.
Northrop slapped his thigh: "I know this! When we were drinking, I asked him why he suddenly wanted to open a transportation company. He said that you asked him to run it, and then said that it would be okay if he was trapped in the underworld. If you were implicated, he would be uneasy for the rest of his life. Your second brother said that you are the pride of the Corleon family. Andre, you don't know how proud your second brother was when he mentioned you. His eyes shone. He said that he had done it for you and could make a living. It was only after I heard what he said that I decided to make this friend!"
"Later, Chaplin's private arms and smuggling wine was also done by my second brother. You don't know, it was a business that was losing money and hard to deal, but your second brother said that this would help you a lot, so he personally led people to fight with the Italians who colluded with Chaplin, copied their nests, and then revealed the news to Cook, otherwise how could Chaplin be so miserable?!"
"Also, your second brother was cut off for this and had more than a dozen stitches sewn on his thigh. He hadn't told you, right?"
"No!" I said in surprise.
No wonder I saw him limping when I walked that day at my dad.
Northrop tutted: "Boji, this guy is just a man."
I didn't hear a word from Northrop clearly. All my thoughts were on my second brother. Usually, he called me and was always smiling. When he was with me, he was always careless. I only now realize that he was just not wanting to worry me. He put his head on his belt and lived on his waistband, but he was still worried about me. As for me, he couldn't even meet his requirements for attending the premiere!
Thinking about it now, how long did it take for him to ask me to attend the premiere to see the movies I made? I made a name for myself in Hollywood, and every movie came out to attract tens of thousands of people to watch. But my second brother never had such a chance. At most, he would just hide in a small cinema and watch my movies laugh alone. Then he heard someone beside him proudly wrapping his clothes and walking into the darkness outside. In order to help me die, when I succeeded, when I was praised like a tsunami, he had no relationship with these successes! As a younger brother, I actually put on such a embarrassed expression when he made such a request. It is conceivable how heartache he should have been!
For a moment, my head became anxious. Thinking of my second brother's disappointed expression at that time, my heart felt like a knife cut.
Second brother, one day, I will meet your requirements! I want you to stand with me and accept the cheers of the audience! Let you watch your brother's movie with your own eyes, how to completely conquer those picky audiences!
Just as I was thinking about this, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Lockheed and Leedon walked in with a smile on their faces.
"My dear Andre! I'm so desperate. How about I'm so busy lately!" Lockheed saw me and gave me a solid hug, while Lidon shook hands politely with Yassel.
After saying hello, everyone sat on the sofa, and Lockheed asked me what was wrong with calling them over.
I said it in detail, and then Northrop also cooperated to help me with the slogan, so Lockheed and Leedon soon understood what I was thinking.
"Andre, are you really going to acquire Western Electric?" Lockheed leaned against the sofa and frowned.
Lockheed is definitely not as easy to convince as Northrop. He is the most scheming among the three Los Angeles consortiums, and he is the most thoughtful in thinking about the problem. If he takes him down, there will be basically no problem. When he asks me this, it means that he still has certain doubts about my acquisition of Western Electric Company.
I quickly said, "Of course I have to acquire it, otherwise why should I ask you to do it? You should know that I have acquired Western Electric Co., Ltd.
The factory has all the patents for audio movies, but it is not only good for our company, but also good for you. I still have a need to acquire Western Electric Company.”
"What's the need?" Lockheed asked.
I pretended to be helpless and shook my head: "Dreamworks is still very thin now and does not have its own film equipment manufacturing factory. Western Electric has a certain foundation in this regard. If we acquire it, we can greatly take a step forward to the goal of becoming a top Hollywood film company."
My words made Lockheed nod.
"I think Andre's idea is OK. I agree with the guys from San Francisco Bank. We have a good relationship anyway, so we can definitely get it." Northrop struck while the iron was hot and he said to Lockheed.
"Western Electric Company is indeed not very prominent in the investment plan of the San Francisco Bank Consortium, but these guys are also like Grandet. Even if it is a small industry, they will not let go in vain, let alone the same company. Andre, do you know what the total assets of Western Electric Company are worth now?" Lockheed asked me.
"Stay $600." I reported it.
Lockheed nodded: "It seems that you have done a lot of homework for Western Electric companies, but things are not as simple as you think. Without 800, you will definitely not be able to get it. I ask you, do you have so much money?"
"800, why so many?" I said in surprise.
Lockheed smiled and said, "The valuation of 600 assets. At that time, if the company's current assets are now gone bankrupt or not making money, you can buy the company with this number or even less than this number of money. But I heard that this company still has some benefits now, so based on my understanding of the guys from San Francisco Bank, they will definitely increase the price, 8 million, which is still a conservative valuation."
"The only thing I can take out in my hand now is 300." I whispered.
"What's the problem with money? We'll pay the remaining money." Northrop smiled.
Lockheed shook his head: "We cannot pay this money for Andre, and we cannot lend it to him."
"Why?!" Not only Northrop, but even Litton, who had been silent, was stunned.
"You can't use your brain?! We can only treat this acquisition as an intermediary. Although the guys from the Bank of San Francisco have a good relationship with us, they are also afraid that we will develop, so if we pay or borrow money, they might not sell it to us. Andre has to find a way to do this. Andre, can you raise 500?" Lockheed looked at me with a smile.
"Boss, we don't seem to raise 500, too much." Yassel said to me in a low voice.
He was right, 500 is too much for me, but it is currently the only chance to win all the autocracy of audio films. If you miss it, you will never be able to do it again.
As a later generation, I know more than any of them how valuable this patent is!
So, even if I sell the money, I have to chew this patent!
"No problem, I can take down these 500!" I gritted my teeth and nodded heavily.
"Okay, when we go back, we will call the guys from the San Francisco consortium and let you know tomorrow morning." Lockheed finally agreed to help me come forward.
"But Andre, you have to find a way to raise the 500 quickly. Don't let us negotiate. You can't get the money out then, and that's all." Lockheed laughed.
A few of us talked for a while, then got up and went downstairs, and dispersed at the entrance of the hotel.
After getting into the car, I looked at my watch and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
"Holkina, go to my second brother's company." I whispered.
"Boss, it's so late, why not go back to the company and take a rest before going." Holgina frowned when she saw my tired face.
I rubbed my temples and smiled and said, "It's because it's so late that I don't have many people on the street. Do you have to choose a lot of people to sway into my second brother's company in a big way?"
Holkina only understood what I meant now, so she quickly started the car.
"Boss, I think that guy Lockheed is cunning enough." Yassel sighed.
I smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise how could he become the boss of the Los Angeles Consortium? Let me tell you, there is no problem with lending this 500 Los Angeles Consortium to me. He said that it is pure nonsense if he can't borrow it."
"Why don't he want to lend it to us? Didn't he tell a lot of reasons?" Yassel's head was big.
I analyzed: "You think, Western Electric is a drop in the bucket for the San Francisco Bank Consortium. Even if it is sold to the Los Angeles Consortium, it will not have any effect, let alone any cheap competitors. Lockheed has their own plans to do this. 500 is not a small amount. Last time he lent us 400, even a little interest was confiscated. And such a large amount of working capital increased in his hands any amount of money. Why do you lend it to us for nothing without making any money?"
"Boss, do you mean that Lockheed can't lend us money at all?" Yassel asked
I nodded: "So, unless we promised this 500 to be added to the Los Angeles Consortium's additional equity in DreamWorks, they will definitely not give up a dollar! But Lockheed knew that I would never let them add equity, so he didn't mention this matter at all."
"But boss, we can't get 500 at all!" Yassel said anxiously.
"If you can't take it out, you have to take it! Borrow it!" I gritted my teeth.
Forty minutes later, our car stopped at the back door of my second brother's company. Holkina walked over and knocked on the door, muttered to the door for a while, and then the three of us slipped in without knowing it.
This is the first time I came to my second brother's company. The area of this company is not very large, at most 100 acres, with only two buildings, one five-story building, one six-story building. There are more than 20 cars of all sizes parked in the parking lot inside. Because it was dark, I couldn't see other places clearly. I could only see guards wearing black clothes and holding guns everywhere.
A small man led us to the sixth floor of one of the buildings.
The entire sixth floor is magnificently decorated, and you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary office space.
"Please tell the boss that there is a Mr. Corleon looking for him." When he came to the door, the little man whispered to a big man guarding there.
The big man nodded and went in to report that it was not long before he saw his second brother walking out of it.
"I knew it was you! Mr. Corleon!" My second brother laughed when he saw me, rubbed my hair, and pulled me in.
"Holkina is here too! Hehe, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are a lot more powerful!" The second brother turned to Holkina and smiled.
Holkina was blushed by his words.
I followed my second brother into the gate and found that the entire floor inside had been opened and reorganized, and the inside was tortuous and complicated. If it weren't for the people living inside, they might have been hilarious inside.
"This is all forcing the enemy. Only here can I have a good sleep with your second brother!" said the second brother pointing to the compartments.
When we arrived at the innermost room, my second brother pointed at the sofa and asked us to sit down, and then someone brought us coffee.
"Andre, I'm still running over. Has something happened?" The second brother pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth, then scratched a match and lit it.
"There are some things." I told my second brother in detail about the acquisition of Western Electric Company and the fact that he was still missing 500 yuan. The second brother nodded while listening.
"Second brother, I only have 500 yuan on hand. The company's operating expenses can only take out 300,000 yuan. I can't get the remaining 500 yuan at all." I was embarrassed.
The second brother pondered for a moment, walked into it and took out a notebook. If I guessed correctly, it was his account.
"Andre, your second brother is still a little extra money on hand, but it is only 200 yuan. If I sell the company's cars or something, I can raise more than 1 million yuan. I may not be able to take out the others." The second brother smacked his mouth and said.
"Selling a car!? Second brother, you're crazy! How can you continue to sell your car? Stop hiding it! If it really doesn't work, I'll find a way. If you sell your company's car, I won't take any of the money!" I knew that my second brother could do anything for me.
The second brother smiled and said to me, "Don't worry, I understand. You go back first, and I will send you the money tomorrow afternoon."
"Second brother, you promise me that you can't destroy your company!" I shouted.
"I know, I know! Let's go!" My second brother patted my shoulder and sent me out of the door.
When I returned to the company, I had no intention of sleeping and called out everyone on the board.
"Boss, how much is there now?" Dunar asked me.
"The company took out 300, and my second brother said he could lend me 300, and the rest was 200 in the void." I said.
Everyone was silent, 200, not a small amount, no one could take it out at once.
"Boss, I can take out 100." Barra stood up and slapped the table hard.
The people in this room only counted Bala's private property. The last time I bought Lightning, I paid him $800,000, plus his salary for more than a year, but this is his entire family.
"Bala, this 100 I borrowed from you. When the money earned by "Brave Heart" comes out, I will pay it back to you." I smiled.
"It's okay, boss, just use it. It's useless to put it here anyway." Bala said with a smile.
Under the guidance of Bala, everyone else stood up enthusiastically.
You 200,000, I 500,000, I will make up for you, and I will make up for you, and I will leave you
Just as I was happy to solve the money, Gans rushed in panting from outside, shouting, "Boss, it's amazing, I discovered a big conspiracy!!"
