Chapter 184

Billy and Ethan Entertainment Company, whose name is clear at a glance, is Billy and his partner. To be more accurate, it is an entertainment company started by his former partner Ethan. Of course, in addition to Billy and Ethan, there are several other small shareholders.

This is a small company in Los Angeles. Although it is small, like many newly established companies, it was ambitious at the beginning. Billy had been in the pop music industry for many years, and Ethan was a well-known independent film director. Therefore, the company was ready to develop in two major fields from the beginning. Billy was responsible for creating pop music, and Ethan continued to produce independent films.

At the beginning, it seemed to be booming. Ethan filmed four independent films with investments between $300,000 and $500,000 in a row, all of which were successful, with a box office of around $2 million. Although each movie had other investors, the company didn't make much money, which was about $200,000 per movie, but such success could have allowed Billy and Ethan Entertainment to make their mark in the chaotic independent film industry in Hollywood.

Billy also gained a lot. With his own relationship and vision, Billy poached four men, six women and ten young singers from Disney's "star-making factory" and formed an Elf Bird singing group to build an idol group.

Disney's "star-making factory" is actually a very cruel star-making system. Disney looks for potential singers and movie stars from all over the world every year, and quickly becomes a child star idol, boy and girl idol. But once those idols are adults and face a period of transformation, Disney will abandon them mercilessly. Because the price of transforming from a child star to an adult star is too high, and Disney is unwilling to invest that money and energy.

Among them, the famous child stars are lucky, at least they have had brilliant fireworks, and there are more young boys and girls who choose but become "substitutes". They have the dream of becoming famous, and they have a minimum weekly salary of several hundred dollars, train, study, dance and sing, perform and walk... until they become adults, and are also ruthlessly abandoned.

It was in this case that Billy successfully detected leaks.

The opening of the door made Ethan and several other small shareholders even more ambitious, so they unanimously decided to spend $3 million to create a "commercial blockbuster" and no longer look for other investors, but the company's independent investment. To be honest, Billy was a little worried about this desperate approach. But firstly, Ethan's past achievements were indeed convincing; secondly, other shareholders of the company agreed, and Billy wanted to object, but it was still invalid; thirdly, no matter what, at the beginning, Ethan was making money, while Billy was spending money to build an idol, and his voice was also very weak. So in the end, this "commercial blockbuster" was launched unexpectedly...

As a result, they might have guessed that they didn't even recognize their mother. In this way, the company had reached the point of insolvency. When Ethan and several other small shareholders saw that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. If they wanted to continue, they had to invest privately again. Since that was the case, they simply "give" all their shares to Billy and then left the company one after another. Only Billy was left barely supporting...

...

So now Billy is hungry. He no longer cares about his "idol image" or "create high-end"... With his years of popularity, he takes the elf birds everywhere and looks for all possible customers. Now, when he sees Jing Jian, he immediately sends a business card.

"Those actors are very good, especially their basic skills." Jing Jian praised a few words, which made a smile appear on Billy's face. Although Disney is a "vampire", its courses must be quite professional. Then Billy trained them carefully, so the performances of these young men and girls are considered second-rate.

Then, Jing Jian asked again: "Are these actors from your company?"

"Yes, they are all contracted artists of the company."

"Okay, Mr. Billy, how do you sell these artists? Let's get a price." As he spoke, Jing Jian smiled at Jiang Zhijie, "With them, it will be much more convenient to accompaniment in the future."

"Cough cough cough." It's so lingering, Jiang Zhizhai didn't spray a sip of red wine. This reason for acquisition is too powerful.

Billy also became dumbfounded and was stunned for a long time before explaining with uncertainty: "Sir, these children are still too young. They still need training from professional teachers and professionals to take care of them. And our company can be better..." In my heart, the company now has only the last "quality asset" of the Elf Bird. If it is sold, it would be better to close the door at that time.

Jing Jian showed a puzzled expression: "I didn't hinder their cultivation and development? It's just my family's gathering, letting them perform and accompaniment. There will be no many shows a year. I'm not holding concerts. It's just for convenience, and I like them too. As for the future...? Your company can continue to manage it?" As he said, Jing Jian showed impatientness, "That's simple, Mr. Billy, is your company selling it? How much does it cost?"

Jiang Zhijie was already impressed by the feeling of being "a rich man, gave birth to a monkey for you". This is the life of two levels and two planes, which fully reflects the true meaning of wealth and prosperity!

Look at the boys and girls in the distance, and find them chatting by the stage. After a closer look, there are indeed several girls who are very beautiful. Jiang Zhijie thought about it and thought he had found the truth. He immediately became arrogant: "Mr. Billy, do you think Mr. Jing..."

"Brother Jiang, my English name is Bramble."

"Oh, do you think Mr. Bramble can't afford it?"

In fact, it is not that complicated at all. Jing Jian is just pretending to be so impressed by Jiang Zhijie. As for whether Billy agreed or not? It doesn't matter at all.

"No, no." Billy's mind was turning sharply. He had invested more than 400,000 US dollars for this company. If he wanted to continue to maintain it, it would be better to invest more than 200,000 yuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how long it lasts. The Elf Bird was his own efforts, and he gave up like this, which was really reluctant to let it go. Since someone wanted to buy it, it would be okay to talk about it?
