Chapter 59 (1/2)
Then, of course, there was a celebration. People returned to the Roosevelt Hotel, the favorite hotel of many Hollywood stars, and the first Academy Award was held here.
”White, can you tell me about your trouble?” The host and the guest entered the table, and Li Zitao joked about yesterday's encounter and finally got to the point.
”Charlie, after creating Mickey, I have a lot of inspiration in my mind, but it can't be realized due to financial problems. Now The trouble is solved. ”
White raised his glass and said with a smile, ”thank you for all this. It's your sincerity that broke my inherent understanding of capital. To Charlie.”
”To Charlie.” They all laughed.
This flattery is good, Li Zitao is very satisfied with the virtual pressure, ”white, I believe that under your leadership, Disney will become a great company, respect Disney.”
”To Disney.” The Huahua sedan chair was carried by all, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lawrence was alone, sitting alone beside him, ”the spice girl ran away, the shares were gone, the share price increased five times, more investment, more interest, so poor.”
After the celebration, White Disney left in a hurry. ”Charlie, those fantastic ideas in my mind are going to drive me crazy. I have to make them appear in the world quickly”
of course, the persistence of animation maniacs can't be rejected. Li Zitao hopes that he can keep this crazy all the time and eventually lead Disney to become popular all over the world.
”Charlie, I want a 10 percent stake in Disney.” After seeing white back to the hotel, Lawrence rushed over with an unfamiliar middle-aged man.
”Don't get excited, man. Do you have $50000?” Li Zitao asked, sitting on the sofa.
”I applied to my father for a loan of $50000 at 16% per month.” Lawrence sat down with a black face.
Originally, his plan was to borrow $20000, with a monthly interest rate of only 10%. But now he needs to pay higher interest because of Li Zitao's temporary change of mind.
”Ten percent is too high. How about five percent?” Li Zitao is not short of money. He still has 200 million yuan in his hand. Compared with 50000 US dollars, he is more concerned about shares.
But he did make up his own mind. Without consulting Lawrence, he directly set a price of 5 times and bought 40% of the shares of Disney.
So Li couldn't refuse his request. He just wanted to reduce his shares to 5% and sign a secret contract.
5% of the shares are still in the name of Li Zitao, but the actual investor is Lawrence, and the rights and interests other than dividends are continued to be exercised by Li Zitao.
”OK, no problem.” Lawrence agreed to come down.
When Li Zitao proposed to raise the price, he was dissatisfied. They were partners. Rockefeller was an industrialist, not a capitalist. They paid more attention to commitment.
But Lawrence also knows that there is no benevolence in the capital world. Now that Li Zitao can give up 5% of the shares, he has been very satisfied.
”This is my father's housekeeper, Elan sticknerd.” Lawrence introduces the middle-aged man standing by.
”Hello, Mr. Strickland, this is Mahdi, my chief lawyer.” After introducing both sides, there is nothing left for them.
”Lawrence, where's your date?” Li Zitao began to stimulate little Lawrence again.
”Charlie, you'll lose me.” Lawrence looked at him bitterly.
”That's so It's a pleasure. ” Li Zitao joked.
”Maybe we should go back. Hollywood is not for me.” Lawrence is full of frustration. He proposed to come to Hollywood. Why did it become so?
”Charlie, am I going to audition?” After struggling for a morning, Bergman still didn't want to give up the opportunity.
”Do you really want to act?” Li Zitao was a little surprised.
”Well, I think.” Bergman nodded.
Bergman wanted to be a star in the audience. If not, she would not apply for the Royal Theater, but she had no intention of coming to Hollywood.
Bergman's heart is very contradictory, one side is the better opportunity, the other is the cruelty and chaos of Hollywood, she is afraid that Li Zitao will have a grudge against it.
”Finish your studies first, and after graduation, I will arrange for you.” For Hollywood, Li Zitao has his own plan.
Now he can buy a company to film for Bergman, but Hollywood has its own business model and rules.
Content is king. He doesn't feel that he can make directors and editors cooperate with him by waving a lot of money. All this takes time.
”Maybe I should make some contribution to the college. How about building a star road?” Li Zitao looked at Lawrence and asked.
”Avenue of stars? That sounds good. What's it like? ” Lawrence said with interest.
After putting forward the concept of the avenue of fame, Lawrence and Bergman's eyes were lit up: ”eternal memory, Charlie, it's wonderful.”
Bergman arms around his neck, eyes blurred at him, sent a hot kiss.Lawrence didn't mind being given dog food, and said excitedly, ”Charlie, you should start this project now. It will make you gain a lot of good feeling.”
”Lawrence, maybe you can contact the masters of the college for me.” Li Zitao holds Baoman and laughs.
