Chapter 879 Became Disney's Real Master

Stanford also picked up the coffee, touched Zhang Xiao, and said, "It's a happy cooperation, and congratulations on becoming Disney's largest shareholder."

Zhang Xiao himself owns Disney's shares, and now with Stanford's 20.00% four, the total shares have reached 40.00%, and he is a veritable major shareholder.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xiao smiled.

After drinking coffee, Zhang Xiao called Clark and asked him to arrange for a lawyer to draft an agreement to buy Disney shares, and at the same time went to the bank for a mortgage loan, and his loan amount this time was 1000 billion US dollars.

An hour later, Clark rushed over and handed over the two purchase agreements to Zhang Xiao.

As a Ph.D. in economics graduated from Harvard, Stanford has signed many such acquisition agreements in his lifetime, and he can tell at a glance whether there are any problems.

The agreement drawn up by Zhang Xiao's lawyer did not have any loopholes, so Stanford signed it directly.

Clark said: "Mr. Stanford, please give me the account number, and I will ask the bank to transfer the money to you."

Stanford was taken aback, and said, "Do you have so much money now?"

Clark said with a smile: "I just went to Citibank. As long as it is under 500 billion US dollars, Citibank will solve it."

Upon hearing this, Stanford looked at Zhang Xiao with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, if I had followed up immediately when I heard that you were cashing in cash, it would be great. Now that I think about it, I really regret it!"

Zhang Xiaodao: "At that time, I was also a gamble. I was even prepared to lose hundreds of billions of dollars. It was pure luck to win. If there are no special circumstances in the future, I will never gamble again. gone."

Stanford said: "Worth trillions of dollars, without any loans, you really don't need to gamble anymore, Clark, my account number is ***"

After Clark wrote it down, he immediately called Citibank.

In just 10 minutes, Stanford received a call from his private financial team, saying that there was an extra $360 billion in the account.

Stanford stood up, looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you, I need to go back and deal with my debt immediately."

Zhang Xiao shook hands with him, and personally sent him out of the coffee shop.

After returning, Herman, who had been silent all this time, said, "Mr. Zhang, do I need to submit a resignation report?"

Zhang Xiao chuckled and asked, "Why?"

Herman said: "I remember there is an old saying in your Hua country, which is called one emperor and one courtier. I am the one promoted by Mr. Stanford. Are you willing to continue to use me?"

"If I don't need you, who else can I use?" Zhang Xiao looked at Herman and said, "Herman, you have a probationary period of more than a year. At this time next year, I need to see your grades. The grades are good. You are still CEO of Disney, if your grades are not good, then I can only ask you to leave."

Herman thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, Disney's biggest problem right now is the lack of liquidity."

Zhang Xiaodao: "After three days, the board meeting will be held, and you will have to issue a work budget report. These shareholders are so stupid. They don't want to leave funds for Disney. It's simply unreasonable."

Clark said: "Boss, we already own 40.00% of the shares, do you want to buy some more?"

"Accept!" Zhang Xiao said: "The maximum is 500 billion US dollars, as much as you can collect, the shares in the secondary market will no longer be circulated, and I will buy them all."

Clark nodded and said, "Understood."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Herman knew that he was going to do a big job, and couldn't help but feel very excited.

From last year's financial crisis to the present, Herman has almost been overwhelmed by money, and now it is finally resolved.

The next afternoon, Zhang Xiao held a dinner party and asked Kevin to invite the main creators of the two later "Avengers" films.

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Joe God Brolin as Thanos, Chris Evans as Captain of the Lighthouse Country, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Benedict Tumberbatch as Doctor Strange, and more.

Because of their roles as Marvel heroes, these stars have all become top stars in Hollywood.

If a reporter photographs them gathering together in Zhang Xiao's manor, it is estimated that a huge disturbance will be caused immediately.

Although Zhang Xiao used a Western buffet style, most of the dishes were Chinese delicacies, and everyone praised them.

After Robert Downey Jr. took a bite of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, he praised: "It's great, Mr. Zhang, why can't we eat such good Chinese cuisine in New York?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said: "What the restaurant requires is that the serving speed must be fast, and many things need to be made in advance. Once it is cold and hot, the taste will definitely be bad, and the things you are late now are all made by me. The chefs have prepared meticulously for a day, so it is naturally different."

Scarlett Johansson rubbed her belly and said with a wry smile, "It looks like I'm going to the gym tomorrow."

Zhang Xiao said: "Miss Scarlett, your figure is good enough, you can indulge yourself appropriately."

Scarlett Johansson nodded and said, "Since the director said so, I'll eat a little more."

Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "Using the words of our country, you are a typical climber."

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed.

Chris Evans asked: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are now Disney's largest shareholder, is that right?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Xiao.

Disney is a giant in Hollywood. Its size has surpassed other companies. Although the current market value is only 200 billion US dollars, everyone knows that as long as it passes this level, it will rebound It is not very difficult to reach a market value of 2000 billion.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Chris, your news is very well-informed. I just spent 360 billion US dollars to buy 20.00% of Disney's four-point shares from Mr. Stanford yesterday. 40.00% of Disney’s shares are available.”

"So, you'd better toast me a few more glasses of wine, otherwise, I'll have to give you little shoes."

Chris Evans said: "So what are you waiting for, brothers and sisters of the Avengers, let us have it together and celebrate Mr. Zhang as the big boss of Disney."

"Woo~~~"

The crowd cheered.

Zhang Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank a large glass full of wine, and there was a burst of applause from the scene.

Zhang Xiao scanned around and said, "Kevin, haven't the heroes of the Avengers come to an end yet? I feel like there are a few missing."

Kevin's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Falcon Anthony and Lucky Karen are busy filming an action movie and haven't come over yet, but they should be able to wrap it up soon."

Zhang Xiao frowned, and said, "The Avengers is about to start, and they actually went to shoot other movies. Is this a breach of contract?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiao's face had changed, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

Kevin bit the bullet and said, "They did violate some provisions of the contract."

Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "When will the action movie of Anthony and Karen be finished?"

Kevin said, "About half a month."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao's face immediately became a little better, and he said: "As long as it doesn't affect the filming of "Avengers", then there is no problem. Just tell them, after half a month after starting the machine, it will be fine." Have their part."

"If you can't come, Disney will never cooperate with them in the future, and their movies will never be screened in any theaters that I control."

Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard the words.

Who is Zhang Xiao?

It can be said that he is the best person in the Hollywood pyramid, not even one of them.

Don't talk about Disney, let's just talk about theater chains. Zhang Xiao now owns six theater chains, and holds four holdings. He asked Clark to acquire them during the financial crisis.

If Zhang Xiao was offended, let alone Anthony and Karen, even those veteran Oscar winners and actresses would be finished.

Zhang Xiao scanned around, seeing everyone's expressions, secretly smiled inwardly.

The reason why he said this was not really to do anything to Anthony and Karen, but to establish his prestige.

Let them be honest and obedient in the next filming. Judging from the expressions of these people, his goal has been achieved.

Kevin seemed to have noticed something, and said quickly: "Okay, I will notify Anthony and Karen immediately."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Everyone don't need to be nervous. As long as it doesn't affect the production of the film, I'm easy to talk to. So, I'll make the decision. Everyone's salary will be increased by another [-]% on the current basis."

"Oh, woo~~~"

"Clap clap clap!"

Everyone cheered.

Kevin was very impressed when he saw that Zhang Xiaoen used both power and power to easily handle these troublesome Marvel heroes.

Great, really great.

Of course, this method can only be done by Zhang Xiao, if it is another director, it will definitely not be possible.

Because not everyone has such background as Zhang Xiao.

After the banquet, everyone went back by car.

On the way, Chris Evans called Anthony:

"Hey, Chris, how was Xiao Shen's dinner?" Anthony on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.

Chris Evans said: "It's very good, all the food is Chinese cuisine."

Anthony smiled bitterly: "Oh, that's such a pity, I don't have time to pass by."

Chris Evans said solemnly: "Anthony, when will your show be finished?"

Anthony said: "It will probably take another month."

Chris Evans frowned, and said: "Anthony, Mr. Zhang is very annoyed that you and Karen are playing together. After "Avengers" starts, if you don't come back within half a month, he will will block you."

Anthony was furious when he heard the words: "How could he do this?"

Chris Evans said: "You and Karen violated the actor's contract. This is a fact. It's fine if Mr. Zhang doesn't sue you. Once Uncle Seven, you may be in more trouble."

When Anthony heard this, his anger disappeared without a trace. After a moment of silence, he said, "Chris, what should I do, Mr. Zhang won't be so cruel, right?"

Chris Evans smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"

Anthony sighed, and said, "I'm just a young actor, how dare I go against Mr. Zhang!"

Chris Evans cut, and said: "Anthony, let alone you, even the boss of your company, you have to bow your head obediently when you see Mr. Zhang. He controls four theaters in his hands. Who dares If you are dishonest, you can be banned with one sentence.”

Anthony panicked and said, "Chris, you haven't told me yet, what should I do?"

Chris Evans said: "You ask your agent to report the situation to your company immediately, and you must complete your scene within half a month, and at the same time call Mr. Zhang, be honest, don't There is resentment, understand?"

Anthony said: "Well, okay, I see, Chris, thank you."

On the other side, Wingnes Paltrow, who played Pepper, also called her best friend Karen, asking her to finish the movie as soon as possible.

Like Anthony, Karen was also terrified, and quickly discussed countermeasures with her agent.

The next morning, just after Zhang Xiao finished his breakfast, he received calls from Karen and Anthony one after another. The two kept apologizing to Zhang Xiao on the phone, and said that they would definitely finish clapping their hands within half a month. of the film.

Zhang Xiao's purpose was just to use the two of them as an example to establish prestige, so naturally he would not embarrass them.

Two days later, Clark came to the manor, picked up Zhang Xiao and headed for the Disney headquarters.

On the way, Zhang Xiao asked, "Clark, how is the acquisition of Disney's shares going?"

Clark News reported: "Boss, in the past three days we have acquired 3.2% of the shares in the secondary market, and acquired 450% of the shares from other shareholders at an average price of [-] billion US dollars."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said, "In other words, I already own more than 50.00% of Disney's shares, right?"

"That's right!" Clark nodded and said, "Boss, you own a short stake in Disney. In other words, Disney is now yours alone."

"Great!" Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said, "I don't need to have any scruples after the board meeting."

After driving for about half an hour, the car drove steadily into the Disney headquarters.

Herman had already led more than a dozen senior Disney executives to wait at the door.

Seeing the car approaching, Herman hurried up to meet him, and opened the car door for Zhang Xiao himself.

Zhang Xiao got out of the car, shook hands with Herman, and said with a smile, "Herman, are all the shareholders here?"

Herman said: "Disney has a total of sixteen shareholders, thirteen have come, and three have not arrived."

Zhang Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Why didn't they come?"

Herman said respectfully: "They said that their shares have been bought by you."

Zhang Xiao patted his forehead and said: "Look at my brain, I did buy the shares of several shareholders, Herman, let me introduce first, I haven't fully known the senior management of the Disney company yet."

Herman agreed and introduced more than a dozen high-level people from Disney.

Zhang Xiao didn't put on any airs either, he shook hands with these senior managers one by one, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Zhang Xiao who is so approachable and approachable, the top management of Disney felt a little relieved.

Walking into the elevator, Zhang Xiao, led by Herman, came to the large conference room on the 26th floor.

As soon as Zhang Xiao entered, the thirteen shareholders who were chatting immediately stood up as if there were springs under their buttocks.

"Hi Mr. Zhang!"

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhang!"

"···"

All the shareholders greeted Zhang Xiao flatteringly, and the smiles on their faces were even more brilliant.
