Returning to 2011, life's path began to diverge from the moment he filled out his college application.
Discovering he had actually enrolled in a performance major and seeing familiar face...
Gu Wei attaches great importance to the acquisition of Wanda Film shares.
It seems that this is a share acquisition case worth 4.5 billion yuan, but in fact it is related to the control of the country's top cinema chain with a market value of more than 20 billion yuan.
The situation has progressed to this point, and it is not as trivial as it seemed in the phone call between Gu Wei and Yang Liwen.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, Wanda Group leaked the news that it was going to sell its shares in Wanda Films. At the instruction of Gu Wei, Weiming Tianxia set up a team specifically responsible for this acquisition.
First, we sent an acquisition invitation to Wanda to express our intention to acquire the company.
Then we will conduct due diligence on Wanda Film to understand its operating conditions, financial status, legal affairs, etc., in order to assess the equity value and potential risks.
Finally, based on the due diligence results, we negotiate with Wanda on the specific terms of the equity transaction, such as the proportion, price, and time.
At present, the preliminary preparations and negotiations for the equity acquisition have been completed.
The next step is the formal process of drafting the agreement, signing the agreement, and transferring equity.
It sounds complicated, but it’s not simple at all.
Fortunately, these are all handled by professionals, and the boss Gu Wei only needs to sign and pay the money.
In fact, at this point, the two sides have reached an agreement through negotiations. If there are no accidents, there will be no problems in the future.
It's just a process.
What Gu Wei really needs to pay attention to is actually after the equity transaction.
After obtaining these 20% shares, he will become the largest shareholder of Wanda Film.
But unlike [Wei Ming Tian Xia] where the equity is concentrated and one person has the final say, the largest shareholder is just a major shareholder, which does not mean that he has control over the company.
Shareholders of a joint-stock company have three lines when it comes to the company's controlling rights: the absolute controlling (major decision-making) control line, the relative controlling line (actual controller) and the veto control line.
The shares involved are 67%, 51% and 34% respectively.
Gu Wei's 20% stake actually doesn't even give him the right to veto.
Of course, since he is the company's major shareholder with a 20% stake, he can easily gain control of the company by simply winning over some other shareholders and getting them to agree with him.
When he invested in ByteDance, the unanimous action agreement he signed was equivalent to giving Zhang Yiming the right to speak on the shares he held.
For Zhang Yiming, Gu Wei is his own person at the shareholders' meeting.
Similarly, if Gu Wei wants to control Wanda Films, he must convene a shareholders' meeting after becoming a major shareholder, win over some other shareholders, and finally obtain the company's management rights through voting.
This is actually not particularly difficult for him.
As shareholders, we all hope that the company we hold shares in will do better and better and that its stock price will continue to rise.
In recent years, Wanda Cinemas has not been doing well in business. On the one hand, it is due to mistakes in its business strategy, and on the other hand, it is also due to the decline of its parent company, Wanda Group.
[Wanda Group] is unable to take care of itself and cannot provide any help to [Wanda Films].
At this time, shareholders also hoped that someone could take over Wanda Films and rebuild the company.
In the film and television industry, no company can compare to Weiming Tianxia in terms of vision, performance, and profitability.
No one would object if Gu Wei wanted to take charge of Wanda Films.
This may also be the reason why Mr. Wang finally chose [Weiming Tianxia] instead of [Ruyi Investment] of Tengxun Group.
After all, although the shares held by Wanda Group were sold, the king's wife still holds some shares.
When conditions are similar, of course we should find someone who is more conducive to the company's development.
After finishing the call, Gu Wei walked back and heard the happy laughter of Nini and Liu Shishi.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?"
"This is a secret between us girls, I won't tell you~" Nini said somewhat arrogantly.
"By the way, Shishi and I just discussed going out for dinner after the show. Are you coming too?"
“I’m afraid not today.
I have a live broadcast tonight~" Gu Wei said after thinking for a moment.
"Live broadcast? Are you still doing live broadcast?" Liu Shishi asked curiously.
Ni Ni immediately realized, "He must be live streaming to promote the hit movie 'Where the Wind Is'!"
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
“[There’s Wind] Ah, this drama is very popular recently, I’m watching it too.
Although the pace is slow, it looks very comfortable," said Liu Shishi.
"Then we have to thank Master for contributing some viewing data for us~"
"I saw it too. Why didn't you thank me before?"
Gu Wei looked at Nini in surprise: "Are you also watching [There is Wind]? How come I don't know about it?"
After joining the crew, he stayed in Nini's room for a few days and didn't see her following the drama.
Nini also reacted and argued:
"I started watching it before I joined the crew, and I usually catch up on it when I'm not filming. How would you know when you're filming?"
In fact, she felt it was very awkward to watch Gu Wei's love scenes with other actresses together, so she never watched "There's Wind" when Gu Wei was in her room at night.
Gu Wei nodded.
"That's all for today. After the show tomorrow, I'll take you two out for something delicious.
Bring Li Xian and Meng Ziyi along when the time comes, and we’ll get together.”
Nini and Liu Shishi said it was no problem.
At night, in the hotel room.
Ni Ni, wearing black pajamas, leaned lazily on Liu Shishi beside her, and the two of them stared at the TV series playing on the opposite screen.
Nini was holding an opened bag of potato chips in her hand. She ate two bites herself and then fed Liu Shishi one bite.
After dinner, the two went back to their rooms. Liu Shishi had just finished washing up when the doorbell rang.
When I opened the door, Ni Ni, who had also washed and changed her clothes, was standing outside.
She brought over a bunch of snacks and said with a smile that she wanted to sleep with Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi was a little helpless, but not surprised. When they were filming "The Best of Times", Ni Ni would come to see her from time to time at night.
The relationship between the two is indeed very good, and it is not uncommon for best friends to watch TV series, chat, and sleep together.
[Go Where the Wind Is] has been very popular since its premiere.
Although this drama does not have any dramatic contradictions or conflicts, it is very comfortable to watch.
It is like a breeze or a spring, blowing slowly and flowing slowly, unknowingly seeping into people's hearts.
As long as you watch the beginning, few people will give up on the show.
And as the plot develops, the various data of "There's Wind" have been rising, and the discussion about this drama on various platforms has become more and more frequent.
Today's two episodes happened to broadcast "Xie Zhiyao" confessing his love to "Xu Hongdou" at the beach.
The tug-of-war and ambiguity between the two in the previous 20 episodes all erupted in this episode, which is considered the most emotionally intense episode since the TV series started airing.
".Xu Hongdou will definitely come back later~"
After watching the two episodes today, Nini smacked her lips and said.
"Of course, otherwise what would we be doing in the next ten or so episodes?
The hero and heroine will definitely be together.
The two of them already had feelings for each other, and after Xie Zhiyao confessed his feelings, their relationship became even clearer."
Listening to the ending song and watching the subtitles scrolling on the screen, Liu Shishi held up her delicate chin and said, "The love between Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou is really good.
There is nothing grand and exciting, just a simple way of getting along, eating, chatting and taking walks together every day."
Ni Ni nodded in agreement: "This drama has a strong sense of substitution and is very comfortable to watch.
The scenery inside is beautiful and the heroine is even more beautiful.
I have never worked with Liu Yifei, but I have seen her several times at various events.
She is really beautiful in person offline.
It has been popular for more than ten years and has always been so beautiful."
Ni Ni exclaimed in admiration when she suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at her best friend beside her and said, "Well, Shishi, of course you are no worse than her. You two have different styles. My Shishi is also stunning!"
Liu Shishi knew why she said that and rolled her eyes helplessly: "If you want to praise her, just praise her, you don't have to bring me along.
I don’t care about these things anymore.”
Nini chuckled.
After watching the TV series, the two chatted while applying facial masks on themselves.
Because of work, the two hadn't seen each other for a while, so naturally they had a lot of topics to talk about.
".What is your relationship with Gu Wei now?
Couple? "
After chatting for a while, Liu Shishi was a little hesitant but still asked the question she had always been curious about.
Nini pouted: "I guess so~
Best friends? Couple? Whatever you want.
Of course, we are still friends with the outside world.”
She did not hide it from Liu Shishi.
Firstly, the two of them have a very good relationship. Secondly, whether it was the last time Gu Wei came to visit the set or this time they were filming together, it was impossible for Liu Shishi not to see the relationship between her and Gu Wei.
"Gu Wei is indeed exceptional in all aspects, and I agree with that.
But he has too many scandals and is quite a playboy." Liu Shishi was also worried about her best friend.
Nini waved her hands: “I know all this.
However, he is a non-marriage advocate and has publicly stated that he is not in a relationship.
So I don’t feel any pressure when I’m with him.”
Liu Shishi slapped her head speechlessly: "Is this what I meant?"
She was saying that Gu Wei was dating Ni Ni and was having an affair with another girl. Ni Ni seemed to mean that Gu Wei didn't have an open girlfriend, so her being with Gu Wei didn't count as a third party.
"Ah, Shishi~
I know what you mean.
I know everything you said, and I even know it better than you.
But you don’t understand, Gu Wei is different.
We may have been together on impulse at the time, but no matter what, it's hard to pull away now."
She thought for a moment and offered an analogy: "Once you've seen the ocean, you'll never be satisfied with anything else. Do you understand?
After seeing the vastness of the ocean, some small ditches are hard to bear!
Gu Wei is a man among men in every aspect, including appearance, figure, temperament, and..."
At this point, Nini paused, and Liu Shishi thought she was going to talk about wealth and status.
After all, Gu Wei is at the top of their circle, his wealth and status are incomparable to those ordinary stars, and he also brings a lot of precious resources to Ni Ni.
".And he's particularly strong in that area!"
What Nini said turned out to be completely different from what she thought. The corners of her mouth were raised high, and she looked like I wouldn't tell this to ordinary people.
"What about that?" Liu Shishi was puzzled, and then she immediately reacted.
She's not a little girl either.
Moreover, as a mother, she is not too shy about some topics, especially when chatting privately with her best friends.
"How strong is it? Is that so interesting?" She blurted out a line from If You Are the One.
"Yes, it's very interesting to be with Gu Wei.
The quality is incredibly high.
I can’t stand it alone anyway.”
Nini was in a good mood, a bit like a child showing off a particularly good toy to a friend.
However, she was careful not to tell anyone about the changes in her skin and figure after being with Gu Wei.
She felt that even if she told Liu Shishi, she would not believe it, after all, it was a bit too fantastical.
Liu Shishi was stunned and didn't say anything. I don't know what she was thinking.
Her husband is 17 years older than her and was nearly 50 years old when he married her. Wu’s ex-wife even mocked him for being incompetent.
So she never thought that it was a big deal, she just went through the motions.
Fortunately, her personality is not enthusiastic, but rather a little indifferent.
So I didn’t feel anything after falling in love and getting married.
"How are you and your husband?" Ni Ni asked curiously after she finished speaking.
"Uh~ It's okay, it's okay." Liu Shishi said with some stammering. (End of this chapter)
