Chapter 87 The highest realm of brokers

Instead of interrupting Corkrien as roughly as before, Litt listened to the other party's words in full and fell into silence. ()

Corkerian continued to "bewitch" and said: "Imagine that no matter how outstanding you do in an ordinary agent, you can at most achieve the same level as Orwitz was when he was in Caa. Didn't Orwitz tell you why he left Caa? Because he has reached the peak in this industry, he can't achieve more in this industry. If you want to surpass him, you must try things that he hasn't tried, such as acting as an agency for a film company to help the company come back to life."

"I know that it will be more difficult to represent a film company than acting for an actor, and acting for a movie, but the benefits you get from it will also be much more than what you get from an actor or a movie. Orwitz helped Sony acquire Columbia, and after the transaction was completed, he received a commission of $8 million, and after Panasonic acquired MCA, he received a reward of 40 million. If you can help me sell MGM at a price that I satisfy, the commission I paid to you will definitely be much more than Sony, and Panasonic paid Orwitz."

At this time, Li Te finally spoke.

"How many?"

“100 million US dollars can even be more!”

Cokerian consciously offered a very convincing price, but unexpectedly, Li Te shook his head after hearing this.

“Too few!”

Cokerian was stunned for a moment. Even the investment banks on Wall Street could get so much commission during the merger and reorganization of such companies, and Li Te was still not bad.

The reason given by Litt is also very simple, and it makes Corkrien unable to refute it.

"Mr. Corkerian said just now that MGM's operating conditions must first be improved, so that you can guarantee that you can sell MGM for a good price. To achieve this goal, it is impossible to rely on one or two movies. If it is limited to three years, at least I have to plan more than 10 blockbuster movies for MGM, so that I can fundamentally reverse investors' confidence in MGM. To achieve these, let alone amgs now, it is also a huge project for large brokerage companies like Caa, so the commission you offer is definitely not enough!"

Corkrien was relieved when he heard this. He was not afraid of Lite's lion's words, but was afraid that Lite would not dare to speak.

"Then how much do you want?"

"If MGM is sold now, how much can you get Mr. Corkerian?"

"At least $3 billion."

"I want 30% of the market value premium in the future."

Corkrian considered it. He promised to give Lite a commission of $100 million after the matter was completed. If it was converted into the commission ratio proposed by Lite now, it would be that MGM's market value would increase by at least $300 million in the next three years. Although this is a little short of Corkrian's plan to take MGM for $3.5 billion, it is not impossible to accept it. The key is that he listened to Lite's tone. He still proposed the share of the commission because he did not meet the 100 million US dollars commission. In other words, the market value he expected would increase far more than $300 million, and Corkrian had no reason to refuse.

"No problem, just do what you said!"

Corkerian agreed too readily, which made Lit a little worried.

Helping MGM resurrect is something that is impossible for others, but it is not the case for Lite. Nothing else can be said. As long as the novel "Harry Potter" becomes popular, the film adaptation rights of this novel can make MGM's market value soar, and then give MGM some future hits to invest in. Not to mention letting MGM return to its peak state in three years, it can at least make the company's market value exceed 5 billion US dollars.

Anyway, as a brokerage company, it is the same now that it is working with anyone, and the possibility of obtaining investment from MGM in this agreement with Corkrien has increased greatly, which is one of the reasons why Lite is willing to agree to Corkrien.

This is all, and it must be based on Corkrien's trust in him enough, but why should Corkrien believe him? Because "I'm crazy for Mary" he planned for Universal, it won $213 million in box office for $20 million, becoming the comedy movie in North America with the second only to "Home Imperial" in the box office?

Lite thinks things won't be that simple.

Sure enough, Corkerian's next request confirmed this speculation.

"I should say that I have shown the greatest sincerity of this cooperation. Not only did I come here to interview Mr. Lite in person, but I also agreed to all the conditions you put forward. So, is it time for Mr. Lite to show some sincerity now? My request is very simple. In order to prove that Mr. Lite, you really have the ability to help me achieve my goal, I need you to help MGM plan a new 007 movie. First of all, this movie cannot lose money, and secondly, the starring of this movie cannot be used with Brosnan."

The first condition Lite had no objection, but the second condition made him a little difficult to accept.

"Yes, I know Brosnan is very suitable for playing Bond, and he may be the most suitable actor to play 007 after Sean Connery, but the problem lies here. I said this is an investigation of your ability by Mr. Lite. If the starring actor continues to use Brosnan, who can make money in this movie, and where does Mr. Lite's ability reflect?"

When Cokerian said this, Lit already understood everything.

It’s not that Corkrien knows that changing to a new Bond actor is a huge adventure for the "007" series that has improved a little more, but if Lit can deliver a satisfactory answer in this case, then he can feel at ease that Lit can help MGM reverse its current business decline.
