Redwood Fund is the main underwriter of Meituan.com’s listing. Once Meituan.com is successfully listed, Yang Ming’s net worth will inevitably increase dramatically.

But if Meituan.com goes public, Yang Ming's shares will be locked up in a short period of time and cannot be cashed out at all. Therefore, he can only cash out some of his shares before going public.

There is no way, why is Yang Ming short of money now?

Especially once the acquisition of Amc Cinemas in the United States starts, he will have to spend a lot of real money, and his next plan will also require a lot of funds.

Therefore, he had no choice but to cash out part of his shares before Meituan.com went public and share the benefits.

Although Yang Ming cashed out 30% of his shares, excluding Hua Mingqiu's 15%, he still holds 55% of Meituan shares, and he still has absolute say.

After Meituan.com is listed and the stock rises sharply, he will release some of his shares to cash out. Generally speaking, as long as he holds no less than 40% of the shares, there will be no problem of losing the right to speak on Meituan.com.

The most important thing is that Meituan's positioning in Yang Ming's mind is just a way to quickly increase personal wealth.

To a certain extent, Yang Ming values ​​Maoyan Movies even more than Meituan.com.

"Do you have any big plans again? Bring me with you!" After Li Xingyi and Yang Ming chatted about Meituan.com for a while, they learned that his nephew had cashed out a lot of money and would definitely make some major moves. He couldn't help but speak

Ask casually.

When Yang Ming heard Li Xingyi's words, his heart moved, he looked thoughtful, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Li Xingyi didn't hear Yang Ming's response on the other end of the phone for a moment. He also knew that the flow of funds worth billions of Chinese yuan or more than a billion yuan must be related to the company's strategy. He seemed to also know that he asked this question not very well.

He quickly redressed: "Yang Ming, your uncle, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, haha, let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow, and I'll go back to Guangdong in the afternoon."

"Oh, uncle, you misunderstood. There is nothing to hide about the use of funds. I just heard what you said, and I was just wondering whether to play a big one." Yang Ming also immediately replied, explaining that it was not a matter of embarrassment.

Talk about the use of funds.

Immediately, Yang Ming did not hide anything and told Li Xingyi that he had recently spent a large amount of money to acquire shares in the second largest theater chain company in the United States.

Li Xingyi was shocked when he heard his nephew's plan. He really didn't expect that Yang Ming would be so ambitious. He would spend nearly 2 billion yuan to acquire at least 60% of the shares of Amc Cinemas. There was no news from the outside world. He believed this.

When the news was exposed, it definitely shocked the entertainment circles of both countries.

It's amazing.

In particular, Li Xingyi thought about the significance it would bring to Oriental DreamWorks once Yang Ming owned the Amc theater chain. This was absolutely extraordinary. He could even vaguely feel the huge ambition of his nephew.

"Uncle, according to the laws of the United States, film distribution and production companies are not allowed to own theater chains. Therefore, according to my plan, I would have Redwood Fund re-register the company, and then go through various confusing methods to acquire Amc.

And in my plan, due to funding issues, there will be no full acquisition, but if you join us, we can try a full acquisition."

"But I would like to remind you, uncle, that you have to think carefully about spending so much money and invest with caution."

At the end of his words, Yang Ming reminded Li Xingyi very solemnly that business investment is not a casual matter and must be carefully considered. Moreover, there is a blood relationship between the two of them. In the end, they were fighting for money.

On the contrary, it is not beautiful anymore.

Of course, if it were anyone else, Yang Ming would not be able to reveal his plan. Mainly because of his contacts over the past year, Li Xingyi is indeed worthy of his trust. If it were his uncle Li Xingren, Yang Ming would not reveal a word.

Li Xingyi's face became solemn when he heard Yang Ming's solemn reminder. Although his nephew would spend most of the funds to acquire Amc Cinemas, if he wanted to fully acquire it, he would have to prepare at least 1 billion meters.

Yuan.

1 billion yuan is definitely not a small number, and it is not something that any company can get out of casually.

Even he himself cannot immediately withdraw such a large amount of cash for the time being. He must cash it out. Most of his properties are basically real estate and various stocks.

Cashing out is a trivial matter. Although 1 billion yuan in cash is a huge amount, if he really decides to get involved, it won't be a big problem as long as he squeezes out funds.

The most important thing is that Li Xingyi himself is very optimistic about his nephew's development in film.

The history of Yang Ming's fortune and his road to success have been covered so much by the media that even Li Xingyi can almost recite them by heart.

Among these countless versions of news, one thing is recognized, that is, Yang Ming has an impressive talent in movies and music, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Since his debut, from the first TV series to the current movie, Yang Ming has never had a record of failure. It can be said that success is his definition.

Therefore, when he heard Yang Ming's plan to invest in the acquisition of Amc Cinemas with his nephew, Li Xingyi was very confident. After a while, he made his decision.

"Yang Ming, I'm participating in your plan, but you have to give me a month to raise funds. Unlike you, I have all the working capital in hand."

"No problem, this matter is not urgent. The acquisition plan is still being prepared. No news about this plan can be revealed. Otherwise, once Hollywood knows about it, someone will definitely want to obstruct it. Therefore, if we don't acquire it, we must do it at the beginning.

Success." Yang Ming said slowly.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll start raising money when I return to Guangdong tomorrow. I'll call you when I'm done."

"OK."

Yang Ming put down his cell phone, touched his chin, and thought about what changes he should make after his uncle joined the acquisition plan of Amc Cinemas.

If it were anyone else, he would never allow him to intervene during the implementation of this plan, but after thinking about it for a while, Yang Ming decided that the advantages of his uncle's participation outweighed the disadvantages.

Especially in terms of concealment, it is much better to be pure than to cross-shareholding with each other through various offshore companies and disrupt the public view.

With the addition of my brother-in-law, he can initiate the acquisition of Amc in the name of any subsidiary of the Li family. Hollywood will definitely not realize the direct blood relationship between Yang Ming and the Li family at the first time.

On the surface, they have no relationship, but Yang Ming will definitely hold the majority of the shares of the company that initiates the acquisition, which is equivalent to Yang Ming indirectly controlling Amc.

Compared with the Redwood Fund acquisition plan, this plan is much safer.

At that time, he will invest these funds in the name of Su Su or his family members. From the outside, Yang Ming has absolutely nothing to do with Amc Cinemas.
