"Dulin has no money, boss!" Luke's financial advisor led half of the team to Ilian as quickly as possible, and they analyzed some documents and properties submitted by Dulin and came to this conclusion, " In addition to the more than 30 movie theaters in his hands, he also has about two million in cash on the company's account. The total sum will not exceed five million. Based on some of the information and data you provided, I think he will keep the rest. All the money has been invested in the construction of District 8, and more money cannot be transferred in the short term.”
Luke frowned, and the glass in his hand rattled as he squeezed it. He felt that he had been cheated!
The equity distribution of Southern Viewing Company is equally divided. Luke and Dulin each occupy 50% of the equity. But the problem is that this distribution is unreasonable. He should occupy 55 to 6%. Ten is right. In fact, Luke knew very well that the difference in funds of more than one million was equivalent to Dulin selling him a ticket and giving him the opportunity to enter the venue and play games with everyone. But Luke has a tendency to turn against others. The first thing he thinks of is to get back the 10% that Dulin has.
More than ten percent? Not much, really not much, but with this ten percent, Luke controls the fate of this company. With his absolute controlling interest, he will definitely overpower Dulin and even Juan in cooperation negotiations and become the biggest winner. Thinking of this, he put down the cup and asked thoughtfully: "Is there any way to make him spit out the extra 10% he took?"
The legal advisor who came with the wealth advisor placed a note in the middle of the page of the agreement, raised his head and looked at Luke, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, boss. There is no problem with this agreement itself. This is not an equity distribution agreement, but an acquisition agreement!" The lawyer pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew Luke well and knew that he would not understand some professional things, so he spoke in layman terms as much as possible. language to explain the content of this agreement.
He raised the agreement in his hand and said: "Besides a bunch of meaningless nonsense, there are only two core contents. The first point is that Southern Viewing Company acquires 50% of the shares from Dulin. He traded the Eastern Star Entertainment Company and all the rights he owned. The second point is that Southern Viewing Company must build at least 60 cinemas in the next year, otherwise you will be in breach of contract. Dulin has the right to demand that Southern Viewing Company will build at least 60 cinemas in the next year. The market value of the film company will be withdrawn, and you must take over this part of the equity.”
After Luke was silent for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "I agree with the latter one, but what's wrong with the first one?"
The lawyer turned the agreement to the attached page and found a page of documents and placed it in front of Luke, "The value appraisal report of Eastern Star Entertainment stated a total value of 6.5 million yuan. That is to say, if You ask for the equity to be redistributed according to market value. Your equity will only be less than Mr. Dulin, not more than him! What's more important is that the 50% of the shares is not based on the investment amount of you and Mr. Dulin in the company's shares. The one who distributed it was you who used the 50% to buy it from Du Lin!"
Luke's face turned even worse, not because he felt Dulin had tricked him, but because he couldn't understand what the lawyer was saying at all, "Why is this happening?"
The lawyer almost laughed sadly. It was so clear that Luke hadn't understood it yet, so he could only continue to explain patiently, "After he sells something to you, it belongs to you. Strictly speaking, it belongs to him." It doesn't matter anymore, but he holds 50% of the company's shares. According to the second core content I just said, if you can't build 60 theaters within one year, he will have the power to withdraw his shares, and you may. It costs about six million to seven million in cash.”
The lawyer smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I took a look at the plan between you and Mr. Dulin. To put it simply, you plan to reach a cooperation with the George family through the number of theaters you control. Now Mr. Dulin has put all the The pressure has been passed on to you. If the cooperation succeeds, he will get the same benefits as you. If the cooperation fails..." The lawyer couldn't bear to continue to attack this upstart with little knowledge, and there was a look in his eyes. With a touch of pity, "All losses will be borne by you alone, and Mr. Dulin will not only not lose money, but will be able to leave with a profit!"
Luke slammed his fist on the table and almost yelled, "Why is this happening?"
The lawyer was used to Luke's outbursts. He curled his lips and said, "Because of the second core point!"
To put it simply, the agreement is for a whole year, which is what Dulin and Luke agreed. But the problem is that the delegation will return to Ilian at the end of the month, and it will take at most one month to decide whether to cooperate, how to cooperate, and issues such as the distribution of benefits. If everything goes very smoothly, then Dulin will enjoy the benefits of being one of the largest shareholders of Southern Viewing Company.
If it fails... will Luke still use the 8 million in his hand to build 60 cinemas despite the failure? This is obviously impossible, and it would be really stupid to do so. But if Luke doesn't build 60 movie theaters in accordance with the agreement, Dulin has the power to return 50% of the shares to Juan, and then take away about 6 million in cash from him!
Therefore, with this agreement, no matter what the outcome, at least Dulin can stand from the perspective of the winner and does not need to worry about the negotiation.
This is actually a very simple contract "fraud", but it cannot be said to be a scam because every step is legal. This situation occurred because Luke couldn't wait to "get on the ship." . If he could wait a few days for his lawyer, maybe the situation would not be like this.
To put it simply, Du Lin sold his company to Luke. The transaction was 50% of the shares of Southern Movies. However, in addition to the equity and shareholder interests he enjoyed in this company and Du Lin, he I have nothing to do with this company. He is not Luke's partner at all. He is like an investor. If the situation is good, he will stick to it. If the situation is bad, he will exchange equity for money and let go.
If Luke can wait until his lawyer comes to Ilian before making a decision, the lawyer will definitely suggest that he can establish a new company, but he cannot "merge" Dulin's company. Cross-shareholdings should be used to secure Luke and Dulin. Tie together tightly, one will be prosperous and the other will suffer. Everyone shares the benefits, and bears the losses together.
"I knew he wasn't so kind!" Luke suddenly stood up frantically and walked around the room angrily, looking at nothing that he didn't like. He kicked the sofa, causing it to move and making an unpleasant friction sound. "I knew it, I knew it! He must have made this plan a long time ago when he gave these good things to me. ! He dug a hole and pushed me down. This despicable guy seemed to be doing everything for my own good!"
"Bitch!"
"Bitch!!"
The lawyer could only put away everything on the table in silence. Although Du Lin's trick was not very common, it was not new, but it could always deceive some fools. No matter what the final result is, it is guaranteed that Dulin will make at least two million in profit from this transaction. He is really a smart man, but he doesn't know if someone is behind to make a move for him.
He suddenly thought of something and immediately opened the appendix at the end of the agreement. After flipping through a few pages, he shook his head. Dulin had blocked his last chance. Originally, he thought that Eastern Star Entertainment's "intangible assets" might be Dulin's most fatal shortcoming. If this shortcoming could be grasped, there would be no solution at all, but Dulin filled this loophole very well.
He used the free license of a big-budget movie in his hands as part of the intangible assets, perfectly filling the last hole.
"This matter cannot be let go so easily. I came to Ilian from the west with sincerity and enthusiasm to cooperate with him, but he pushed me into a pit and buried me. He needs to give me an explanation!", it seems that Lu Ke still hasn't realized that the purpose of coming to Ilian is not to cooperate with Dulin, but to settle accounts with him. The reason for the cooperation was his semi-forced buying and selling behavior.
It can only be said that Du Lin just needed such a fool to block the gun in front of him, so he agreed without hesitation.
Surprisingly, just when Luke was about to bargain with Dulin, he calmed down again. As a guy who still has savagery and wildness in his heart, he often does things based on his own nature.
He suddenly thought that this was not his little kingdom in the west. Since Du Lin dared to trick him like this, it meant that Du Lin was not afraid of him. If the conflict is completely intensified without adequate preparation, it may be a disaster. The only way now is... to find Juan.
As Dulin's old enemy, Juan must know Dulin better, and maybe he can get some help from him. Soon Luke knocked on Juan's door with some small gifts. After a few pleasantries, Juan invited Luke into his study and poured him a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Luke, we don't seem to have any friendship, right?" Juan sat on his chair with a slightly indifferent expression.
It was this guy who ruined his plan, causing him to need to find foreign aid, which diluted his future interests, so the sarcastic remarks were for sure, after all, he couldn't be beaten to vent his anger.
