I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 658
[Chapter 652 This has nothing to do with the profession]
Ron Perelman absently looked out the window of the black sedan through the busy studio area of Firefly Studios, pondering what might come next.
The car stopped under the office building in the administrative area of the studio, the driver opened the car door, and Ron Perelman just got out of the car when he saw three people standing not far away, surrounded by men and women in suits and professional suits The youth in the central white shirt is particularly conspicuous.
“We finally met, Mr. Perelman,” Eric smiled and shook hands with Ron Perelman who came over, and then introduced: “This is Mr. Frank Wells, President of Firefly Group. , this lady is my personal assistant, Miss Kelly Haynes.”
Ron Perelman was almost immediately aware of a familiar ‘good cop and bad The cops’ joke, Jeffrey Katzenberg was undoubtedly the ‘bad cop’ before, but even realizing this little trick, the contrast with the previous week’s encounters was a disappointment. Ron Perelman felt a lot better.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams,” Ron Perelman shook hands with Eric, Frank, and Kelly, with barely a hint of warmth in his voice.
After introducing each other, Eric said: “I don’t think you have time to have lunch yet. There is a small restaurant here.”
Of course Ron Perelman did not refuse, and brought his assistant and Eric a few. The people came to the restaurant where Eric often dined in the studio.
After all, the two sides had just experienced a conflict, and the simple lunch only eliminated some of the embarrassment between them, and it was impossible to really warm up after all.
After instructing the waiter to remove the utensils and put on coffee, Eric finally brought up the business and said, “Ron. Since you want to talk to me in person, then, for Marvel, I think you must already have your own solution, right?”
With a bit of bitterness in his heart again, Ron Perelman still nodded: “Yes. Eric,” After saying this, Ron Perelman hesitated for a moment unwillingly, but after all Somewhat sullenly, he continued: “I basically agree with Firefly Group’s debt-to-equity swap strategy, but there is one thing about compensation for shareholders of Marvel’s tradable shares. The bottom line is just to take out the Marvel shares in his hand.”
Eric did not have Katzenberg’s quick temper at all.
Still calmly said: “But it’s too unfair for Firefly. We are a weaker creditor than Marvel shareholders. If this loss is borne by Firefly, our loss will expand again.”
Although Ai Rui There’s nothing logically wrong with gram’s words, but Ron Perelman still finds it absurd to connect the words ‘firefly’ and ‘vulnerable’ anyway: “Eric,
I I know that you absolutely value Marvel very much. Its value will be far beyond everyone’s expectations. Since I have completely lost this time, I am not going to continue to hold on to anything now. The conditions just now are my last bottom line. ”
Ai Rick pondered for a while and looked at Kelly next to him: “How much does it cost to redeem all the Marvel shares in the market?”
Kelly almost wanted to throw a blank eye on the pretentious Eric, but she simply He replied neatly: “The stock price of Marvel has fluctuated a lot recently, but according to the average price of the stock price in the past seven days, if you want to recover all the outstanding shares of Marvel in the market. It needs about 72 million US dollars.”
“72 million US dollars, this amount It’s not a lot of money,” Eric turned his head to look at Ron Perelman, ignoring the secret joy that flashed in the other’s eyes, and changed the subject.
Said: “According to the current situation of Marvel, if there is no firefly to intervene, Marvel will have to take the initiative to file for bankruptcy protection in the federal court for up to one year. I guess at that time, Andrews Holdings wanted to solve this trouble. , it’s definitely not something $72 million can handle.”
From Eric’s tone just now, Ron Perelman thought he was going to take on this expense, and was a little fortunate.
Hearing Eric’s next words, he was disappointed and tried to lie: ” Eric
, my company no longer has any funds, I think you definitely don’t want this matter to continue, don’t you?”
K shook his head and said: “No, you have funds in your hand, and everyone knows that you bought $400 million in firefly bonds. I guess the long-term holding strategy does not meet your investment creed, then Firefly can recover you in advance. All or part of the bonds in hand will do. Of course, Firefly will never undercut the price like Wall Street investors, and we can redeem it at par value.”
Ron Perelman did not expect Eric to even himself I already knew about the fact that my peers took the opportunity to lower the price. Although there was no change on the surface, I still cursed a few times in my heart.
Eric is right, he had no idea of holding Firefly bonds for a long time. He originally planned to keep only a part of the bonds to maintain his creditor status after he got the firefly board seat, and sell all the others.
With the popularity of the long-term bonds of the Firefly Group, even if they are only held for a few months, they can earn a difference of several million dollars between hands. $22 million in interest dividends.
Eric’s seemingly very kind redemption plan at the original price will still cost him at least several million dollars.
Noticing Ron Perelman’s tangled look, Eric didn’t rush. He seemed to remember something, and whispered to Frank Wells beside him.
Ron Perelman was really entangled in his heart at this time. He suddenly found that, after going around in circles, he still had to accept the first solution proposed by Katzenberg more than a week ago.
The only difference may be that Eric’s approach to the matter is very gentle, without Katzenberg’s aggressiveness.
But what’s that, Ron Perelman himself wouldn’t mind smiling at the person he hated the most if he could make a lot of dollars.
Feeling what Eric and Frank Wells had talked about, and looking at himself again, Ron Perelman knew that he had no other choice, so he had to say: “Eric, only $72 million, If Marvel’s stock price goes up next, I won’t pay another penny.”
Eric nodded, not bothering about these small details, he believed that Ron Perelman would not be stupid enough to continue tossing anything, said : “No problem.”
Ron Perelman thought for a while, and immediately added: “Also, I hope Firefly can change someone to take charge of this matter.”
“That’s what I meant by bringing Frank here,” Ai said. Rick smiled and pointed to Frank Wells beside him: “Frank will be fully responsible for this next, then you two can talk first, I still have work to do, sorry.”
After saying goodbye to Frank Wells and Ron Perelman, Eric, who led Kelly to the Victoria’s Secret studio, noticed the female assistant’s frequent glances at him, and said with a smile, “Just say whatever you want to say. Is it?”
“No, it just feels like the way you deal with this matter is completely like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and it’s not right…” Kelly shook her head and said, “You seem to have always been like this, It’s so strange, I rarely see your young and vigorous side.”
Eric looked around, got closer to the female assistant, and said in a low voice, “Why don’t you add a night shift tonight and let you see me?” The youthful side.”
Kelly pushed Eric away with a blushing face and said, “I promised Nina to have dinner together, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com You go and provoke those little models in the studio. Well, they will definitely be willing.”
Eric shook his head and said, “I don’t usually have anything to do with my heroine.” Seeing Kylie’s contemptuous look, Eric shook his head.
“At least not during the filming, it’s true,” explained embarrassedly. “I didn’t expect
you to be so professional,” Kelly joked with a laugh.
“This has nothing to do with the profession,” Eric shook his head: “You know, I’m generally a very considerate person. If the heroine slept next to me last night, if she acts on the set the next day If it’s not good, it will be difficult for me to scold it without any scruples, this feeling of wanting to have a seizure but not being able to do it is actually very uncomfortable.”
Kelly gave Eric a charming glance, and there was a bit in her tone. Jiaoyan: “Okay, I take back what I just said, you are a little bastard with violent tendencies.”
