Charlie froze for a moment, then looked at Douglas with dissatisfaction: "What good could come of it? Haven't you always disliked Donnie?"
Douglas smiled and said, "It's true, I don't like Donnie, and that's still the case now. But think about it. Once the company goes public, Donnie would essentially lose control of the company."
Griffith, upon hearing Douglas's statement, quickly interjected: "Doug, that's not entirely accurate. If the company goes public, even if our four parties' shares are diluted, Donnie would still remain the majority shareholder!"
Douglas chuckled: "I know that, of course. But don't forget: what is United Artists' core competitive advantage?"
Charlie and Griffith both sat on the sofa, looking at Douglas in confusion.
