Remember [pen♂ 趣 → 阁] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!

In 1980, Xiangjiang people went to Canada, second only to Americans.

Because Xiangjiang is still under British trusteeship, the procedures for going to Canada, the Commonwealth country, are naturally very simple.

The headquarters of IMAX is located in Toronto, near the Great Lakes, in the northeast of the United States, so Yin Jun they have to take a plane from Los Angeles to Detroit, and then drive to Toronto.

In fact, before coming to the United States, Yin Jun greeted Merrill Lynch in advance and told them that he would visit IMAX.

Merrill Lynch has a branch in Xiangjiang. They charged Yin Jun with an information consulting fee of 7 million Hong Kong dollars. They are naturally happy to help.

As a result, Yin Jun almost did not delay. After a rest at a hotel in Toronto, he took Huo Jianning and Ding Linxiang to meet the three founders of IMAX.

As we all know, the founders of European and American technology companies are not very old at all.

Bill Gates founded Microsoft at the age of 22, Zuckerberg founded Facebook at the age of 20 and so on. Their general entrepreneurial age is between 22-26 years old.

The same is true of the three founders of IMAX.

President Richard Geerfang is the youngest. He was born in 45 years and is only 35 years old this year.

The remaining two partners, the technical director Roman Croto is 37 years old, and the operation director Robert Cole is 34 years old, both of which can be called the age of a young and powerful entrepreneurial environment.

Considering that IMAX was established 13 years ago, they were younger then.

Merrill Lynch also has branches in Canada, and with their early communication, the three giants will see Yin Jun together at this meeting.

Rao is so, they were also surprised when they saw Yin Jun being so young.

Ge Erfang simply raised his own question, "Mr. Yin, I heard from Merrill Lynch that you are a billionaire? How old are you this year?"

The billionaire he said here refers to the US dollar.

"I am 18 years old and started doing business two years ago." Yin Jun smiled and pointed his finger to the coffee table in the corner of the office. "The comic you read" Resident Evil "was written by me and it was me Published by my company! My company ’s valuation now exceeds US $ 200 million. "

"Gosh!" Next to Robert Colton exclaimed, "You are that genius novelist Jun? Oh, I like your story so much ... I put this" Resident Evil "here, And "The Hilarious Life in the Tropical Rainforest", Lord Abu is my idol for life! "

With that said, he took out paper and pen in a hurry, and placed it in front of Yin Jun. "Please sign me! If you can, please draw a portrait of Lord Abu, a simple one is just fine!"

Yin Jun could not help crying and laughing.

Such a one-meter-nine big man actually said that he likes Lord Abu. Does this mean that his comics are suitable for all ages?

Between his thoughts, Yin Jun also painted a portrait of Abu to him.

In fact, Abu's appearance is relatively simple. Especially when her belly is black, she is almost made up of simple lines, but this simple line makes many people like it.

Yin Jun painted such a portrait.

Looking at the portrait of Abu outlined by Yin Jun, Cole couldn't help laughing, and Zhen Zhizheng put the drawing in his pocket.

When Yin Jun raised his head again, the faces of Gerfon and Croto had disappeared from the previous disbelief.

Because Cole is a supermanga fan, he bought all the manuscripts published by Kirin Culture and often brags in front of them how powerful this genius cartoonist is and how big a comic sales miracle he has created.

After listening for a long time, they will naturally know a lot of things about Yin Jun. They dare not say how successful Yin Jun feels, at least they have the capital to negotiate with them.

After all, IMAX now has a value of less than 50 million, and the job is nothing more than the production of IMAX screens for teaching films in museums and science and technology museums. It is still worse than Yin Jun, the world ’s largest comic company. many.

To be honest, IMAX has not developed well because of technical and financial bottlenecks over the years, and no company has seen their future prospects, so they now expect a good company to invest in to help them Development of new technologies.

Otherwise, even with the face of Merrill Lynch, how could they appear at the negotiating table with the three giants?

In terms of human relations, even Huo Jianning, who has not experienced it, is much smarter than them. Seeing their posture, they know that there is a play today.

With a slight cough, Yin Jun opened the door and said: "Thank you for taking the time to discuss with me during your busy schedule. Our Kirin culture came here this time, in fact, to give IMAX companies wings to take off. For IMAX, I am very optimistic about the future! "

Geerfang smiled faintly, "Everyone will say that it's nice, why don't you tell Mr. Yin, how are you going to invest in IMAX? We need more than a pension."

"Of course." Yin Jun nodded. "According to Merrill Lynch's previous evaluation of your company's assets, IMAX's most important asset is actually your technology patent on the IMAX giant screen, so the valuation of $ 20 million is A suitable price ... And I really appreciate your technology and research spirit, so I want to buy 80% of your shares with a valuation of 40 million US dollars. Of the remaining 20%, 10% belongs to you , The last 10%, we will use it to reward technical talents and other active talents, what do you think? "

"40 million?"

The three heard different faces.

Geerfang was a little dissatisfied, Croto had no expression on his face, but Cole looked very interested.

"40 million dollars is a lot." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "I have also prepared an investment of 100 million dollars, divided into 5 years and invested in the company, which will allow you to increase technical capabilities, buy new equipment and develop technology ... This amount of money is not counted as diluted shares. After all the $ 100 million comes in, you still own 10% of the company. "

Of course, 60 million dollars is not Yin Jun's bottom line.

But he will not directly tell the bottom line to others. After all, this is commercial negotiation. Which fool would say his bottom line at the beginning?

60 million US dollars is certainly not very suitable for the value of IMAX, but with the latter 100 million US dollars investment, it seems unusual.

Although this is the capital that Yin Jun must invest in order for IMAX to develop a complete set of equipment suitable for commercialization more quickly, it is also a good weapon to use it as a bargaining chip for negotiation.

The trio suddenly changed their face when they heard the latter half.

Even Gerfang was surprised, and Croto was even more excited.

He, who is in charge of technology, is crazy about money and wants to spend 100 million on R & D every day.

Suddenly someone told him that he would invest US $ 100 million in five years for him to spend money on research and development, and he wanted to say yes immediately.

Geerfang wanted to be a bit smoother. He hurriedly said first, "I am very grateful for your attention to us and my optimism for IMAX. But I do not hide from you that our own future for IMAX is better We should look forward to it even more. We are confident in relying on our own efforts to carry forward the IMAX technology. Of course, there are funds injected to help us avoid detours, which is also very good. "

The IMAX company of the previous life, in fact, it is precisely under the circumstance that people are not optimistic, they listed their own money, and then developed it themselves.

It is precisely because of this that their shares are miraculously not diluted much. The three giants firmly control IMAX, and then have the greatest control over the entire giant screen market.

This fact shows that on the one hand not many people have a vision, on the other hand it also shows that the three of them are indeed very persistent.

Therefore, Yin Jun knew that he was not talking about it. If the price was not enough, Ge'erfang would definitely not agree.

The relationship between the three giants is very good. If Gerfone insists on disagreeing, then Cole and Croto will not fall out with their old folks.

"I know that IMAX will be great in the future, so I want to join in this great technological development." Yin Jun said, "I don't think my asking price is too low. After all, 100 million dollars are invested in. You can replace the machines and equipment that you have n’t replaced in more than three years. You can also hire some excellent talents. We all do n’t love money, but many of the technicians who are new to the society need a good salary to support their families Part of this $ 100 million can be used to attract talent. "

Croto couldn't help but speak for the first time, "Yes, I have to admit that you have said very well, Mr. Yin. Such a generous investment will definitely bring tremendous changes to IMAX!"

"I am an investor who likes movies. You also know that I wrote a lot of scripts in Xiangjiang and even published a lot of books." Yin Jun took a book from Ding Linxiang and put it At the table, "Three, have you read this book?"

On the cover of the book is a tall, dinosaur on the cover.

Croto recognized it at a glance, and he stood up abruptly: "" Jurassic Park "!? ... Heaven, this is ... this is ... you wrote ..."

Cole beside him also slapped his head: "The two authors are Jun, we thought it was the same name!"

This time, Geerfang's eyes also widened.

Compared with Yin Jun ’s comic book, the recent Jurassic Park and Da Vinci Code in the United States are more popular with middle-level white-collar workers and more famous.

As a fanatical pursuit of IMAX technology, of course, they have also seen "Jurassic Park".

Not only have they seen it, they have also discussed how to use IMAX technology to make the movie "Jurassic Park".

Unexpectedly, the author is sitting in front of them now!

"If you agree to this acquisition, then" Jurassic Park "will be our biggest attempt." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "I believe that after 10 years, IMAX technology will definitely allow everyone, See the big dinosaur with the IMAX effect I have never seen before! At that time, it will be the glory of all of us! "

"10 years?"

Although Yin Jun talked a little bit of blood, Croto frowned, "Mr. Yin means, can we succeed in 10 years?"

Without me, you have to succeed after more than 20 years.

Yin Jun replied in his heart, but his mouth is still polite, "IMAX technology has never been applied to real 90-120-minute movies. We need to keep trying. I look forward to entering the actual movie after 5 years. Production, 10 years later, the technology will be great! ...... You do n’t have to worry about this in this regard ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I have a plan to acquire a film company. In the future, no less than 3 movies will be given to you in IMAX version.

"Xiangjiang movie?" Gerfang asked.

"No, American film companies, films distributed worldwide." Yin Jun said rightly, "This promise, we can write in the contract."

Gore's mouth moved, but he didn't ask any more.

Yin Jun is willing to write into the contract, what else can he say?

If you break the contract, it will be responsible.

Here, Ding Linxiang and Huo Jianning were shocked.

They originally thought that Yin Jun would have the action of a film company in Xiangjiang-after all, a talented screenwriter like Yin Jun was too bad just selling scripts to make money. Look at Hong Jinbao and Wu Siyuan, how much money did they make? Is it difficult to run a film company in Xiangjiang?

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun also had an idea for the American film company.

If someone said this, they would definitely not take it seriously, but this is what Yin Jun was saying, and the two of them would be willing to believe it.

Because Yin Jun is notoriously speaking and doing things very carefully, there is no exaggeration of young people.

"50000000!"

Geerfang glanced at his two partners, and finally reported their reserve price, "As long as you buy at a valuation of 50 million yuan and cash transactions, then 90% of the shares are yours! In addition to the investment of US $ 100 million, you must also ensure that "Jurassic Park" must be filmed and produced with our IMAX technology! "

"no problem!"

Yin Jun pretended to discuss with Ding Linxiang and Huo Jianning for a while, and he readily agreed.

The teenager understood that this was actually the opportunity.

At this time, IMAX is the most difficult time, and their conditions are so rich, they do not agree to blame.
