Life at the Top

“Uncle Law, is Gladness Entertainment seriously considering selling?” Jasper asked.

Zachary nodded and said, “Their boss, Michael Lane, is an old friend of mine.”

“Gladness Entertainment Movies is a branch of his company, Gladness International Corporation. It did quite well in the early years, and the company earned quite a bit of money in the movie industry. However, Harbor City’s movies have been losing their popularity in recent years.

“Which is why he has decided to switch his focus from the movie industry to financial asset management and go international. That’s why he wants to carve out the entertainment portion of his company and sell it.”

Jasper thought to himself that the head of Gladness Entertainment Movies, Michael Lane, was a visionary.

In his past life, Harbor City’s movies had peaked in the 90s. Gangster films, gambling films, and movies starring Stephen Cole had made up the youth of a whole generation.

However, their fame started fading starting from the year 2000, and this went on till the year 2020.

However, Michael Lane did not sell the company in his previous life.

“How much is he selling it for?” Jasper asked.

Zachary frowned slightly as he said, “That’s where things get complicated. To be honest, if Gladness Entertainment Movies had not met all your requirements, I would have eliminated them immediately.

“First of all, Michael is looking for a powerful buyer to buy the equity of other companies through selling the equities of his own company.

“If you’re looking to buy with cash, he’s asking for no lower than two billion dollars for the entire company.”

Jasper now understood why Gladness Entertainment was never sold in his previous life after hearing what Zachary said.

Michael Lane was blinded by money.

One could not even comprehend how much two billion dollars was. Jasper had only spent ten million dollars to own a controlling share of Terizone.
