Hearing that Wu Jianye asked for a loan, Linda and Johnson breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, so that the two did not have to dilute the shares of Phantom Entertainment in their hands.

It's just that they didn't notice that what Wu Jianye said was to take a loan from the bank first.......

"Then which TV network are you optimistic about?" Linda asked, since Phantom Entertainment is now going to take out a loan, then Wu Jianye must already have a TV network in the picture!

Wu Jianye said in a surprising voice: "Contact ABC, if you can, I hope that in a year, Phantom Entertainment can become the master of ABC!"

ABBC synthesizes the three major commercial broadcasts in North America.

In the spring of 1941, the Federal Communications Commission decided that the National Broadcasting Corporation could not have both a red and a blue broadcasting network.

In October 1943, Edward Noble bought the Blue Broadcasting Network (with 116 affiliated radio stations) for 8 million yuan, and officially adopted the name ABC on June 15, 1945.

In February 1953, it was bought by the United Paramount Theater Company for $25 million to form the American Broadcasting-Paramount Theater Company, and Leonard Goldenson, the former chairman of the United Paramount Theater Company, became the chairman of the new company.

In April 1965, it was renamed the American Broadcasting Corporation.

In March 1985, Metropolitan Communications was acquired for $3.5 billion, and the company was changed to Metropolitan ABC, but generally still under its original name.

In the late seventies, ratings topped the top three broadcasters for several years in a row.

The company is headquartered in New York.

The company operates eight television stations in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Fresno and San Francisco, and has 220 affiliated television stations.

The company also operates AM and FM radio stations, as well as a number of affiliated radio stations.

At the same time, ESPN, a well-known sports channel in North America, also belongs to the ABC television network.

If it weren't for Wu Jianye, it would have been acquired by Disney by 1995.......

Linda looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, she didn't expect Wu Jianye's appetite to be so big, and she actually fell in love with ABC as soon as she made a move.

"It's not a simple matter to win ABC, now the valuation of ABC must have exceeded the value of 10 billion US dollars, even if it is a Phantom Entertainment and bank loans, it is impossible to get so many loans!" Linda couldn't help but say.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If the bank can't take it out, it doesn't mean that I can't take it out personally, and we don't have to completely control ABC as soon as we come up, we can slowly infiltrate, if you don't want to dilute your shares in Phantom Entertainment, you have to work the acquisition!"

Can Wu Jianye come up with tens of billions of dollars in cash now?

In fact, if Wu Jianye gave up the reunification of East and West Germany and the layout of the oil crisis, he would really be able to come up with it, but it would be impossible for Wu Jianye to give up these two projects that could bring him huge benefits.

However, the reunification of East and West Germany and the oil crisis are both things that happened this year, and the acquisition of ABC is not a simple matter, and it is impossible to negotiate everything without a year and a half of negotiations, and Wu Jianye is not in a hurry at all.

And Phantom Entertainment not only has to acquire North American TV networks, but also has four other acquisitions and two constructions!

Linda and Johnson's faces became a little ugly, just now I thought that Wu Jianye would not continue to inject money into Phantom Entertainment, but now I didn't expect Wu Jianye to still think about injecting money into Phantom Entertainment.

Wu Jianye glanced at them and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't choose to invest in Phantom Entertainment until the last resort, now let's study how to acquire ABC!"

Linda and Johnson nodded, Wu Jianye understood that the acquisition of ABC would not be solved in a while, and they naturally understood that the negotiation with ABC was destined to be a long time, and among them, if the development of Phantom Entertainment was all good.

For example, Phantom Entertainment's movies continue to sell well, and the market valuation of Phantom will still climb to a point again, and if Phantom wants to take out a loan, it will definitely be able to borrow more funds.

"According to the data, if you want to buy ABC in the hands of MetCommunications, the most critical person is that the majority shareholder of MetCom is Warren Buffett, who holds 25% of MetCommunications!" Linda said after sorting out her emotions.

When Metcom acquired ABC, its assets were only a quarter of ABC's, and the reason why it was able to win ABC was because of Warren Buffett's help.

So now Phantom Entertainment wants to take down ABC and has to negotiate with Warren Buffett!

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "I know about this matter, so let's talk to Buffett first!"

There is no need to go into too much detail about Buffett, who is known as the existence of a god figure.

However, there are actually some benefits for Phantom Entertainment, that is, Buffett's focus is never on entertainment.

Otherwise, Buffett would not have sold ABC to Disney in the future, and he would have slowly sold Disney's shares and completely withdrawn from Disney.

Second acquisition.......

In fact, it is not only the second acquisition, but the remaining four acquisitions, in fact, they are all about the acquisition of sports projects, since Wu Jianye wants to build Phantom Entertainment into a large-scale media group, how can he let go of the acquisition of sports projects.

This is not only related to Phantom Entertainment, but also the later cold water drink, LUCK Sports' plan to enter the European and American markets!

It is precisely because of this that the subsequent acquisition will not only be the acquisition of Phantom Entertainment, but the joint acquisition of Cold Water Beverage, LUCK Sports and Phantom Entertainment.

As the world's largest sport, football, Wu Jianye must not give up.

In the information handed over by Linda, Wu Jianye circled it, Manchester United in the English League!

At this time, the Premier League has not yet been officially established in England, so the top league in England is now League One!

In fact, compared to Manchester United, Wu Jianye wants to buy Fiorentina in Serie A!

After all, Florence has Zhang Jun (here I pay a big tribute to Lin Hai Tingtao, that is the first football book that Huangshan read, Zhang Jun cried when he retired!)!

However, Wu Jianye is still a businessman after all, so he has set his sights on Manchester United, and in another time and space, Manchester United's net worth has reached four billion pounds!

After all, the Premier League is the commercial league with the highest commercial value!

And now to buy Manchester United, it is definitely a sure situation, even if you don't understand football, but you still know the glory of Manchester United, now Ferguson has joined Manchester United, but this season's Manchester United results are not very good, at the beginning of this year, Manchester United even wanted to fire Ferguson.......

The most important thing is that Manchester United is not worth much now, according to the purchase price given by Linda, the market value of Manchester United at this time is only tens of millions of dollars.

So now is the perfect time to buy Manchester United!

In fact, for the Phantom, it is difficult to acquire the remaining three projects, which are the football team, the baseball team and the basketball team that have a huge influence in North America!

In particular, the basketball club that Wu Jianye designated to buy was the Lakers in Los Angeles!

After all, the elder Buss runs the Lakers as his family business, and it is as difficult to buy the Lakers in their hands as it is to buy the ABC network!

"It's not easy to buy the Lakers!" Linda said.

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "I naturally know this, but as long as the price is in place, I believe that Old Buss will not be tempted, even if he likes the Lakers no matter how much he likes!"

Although it is very difficult to acquire the Lakers, it does not mean that there is no room for maneuverability, and the money involved in the acquisition of ABC is almost negligible.

Although there is information that in 1979, the old Buss used $67.5 million to buy the Lakers, in fact, this is not simply the funds used to acquire the Lakers, there are three objects in this acquisition, namely the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey team), and the home court of the Lakers at that time!

Of that, the Lakers spent only $18 million!

Although it has been nearly 11 years since 79, the market value of the Lakers must have increased several times, but according to the latest NBA team market value rankings, the Lakers' market value is only around $35 million.

Of course, if Wu Jianye really wants to buy the Lakers, this price is definitely impossible, and if the Lakers' home court is added, the price will exceed $150 million!

Money is not a problem for Wu Jianye, the main thing is how to take down Old Bass!

"Let's talk to old Buss first and ask him if he has any intention of selling the Lakers!" Wu Jianye said.

Wu Jianye's idea of acquiring the Lakers is to salute first and then soldier, if Old Bass can agree to sell the Lakers, then everything is easy to say, if you don't agree, then you can only use means.

The elder Bass is now worth only about $1 billion, and he is best known not for his sports career, but for his real estate business.

Buffett's Wu Jianye can't use capital means to suppress it, but it doesn't mean that Old Bass can't!

Johnson nodded beside him and said, "Leave this matter to me, my father has some business cooperation with Old Bass!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, then the negotiation team of Cold Water Drink and LUCK Sports will come over and meet with you!"

As for the acquisition of the football team and the baseball team, Wu Jianye was also handed over to Johnson to be responsible!

Finally, there are two constructions about Phantom Entertainment!

"First of all, Phantom Entertainment, as one of Hollywood's seven major studios, has an imminent need to build its own studio, and this matter must start in the second half of this year!" Wu Jianye ordered.

Although Phantom Entertainment has signed contracts with Universal and Twentieth Century Fox to use the sound stage, it does not mean that this is peace of mind, and having its own studio is almost a hallmark of a large studio.

With the development of Phantom Entertainment, in the next few years, it is bound to become a thorn in the side of several major studios, a thorn in the flesh, and put this lifeline in the hands of others, Wu Jianye is not at ease no matter what!

What's more, with the development of film technology in the future, studio shooting will also become the mainstream, especially Phantom Entertainment, which has several major IP series, and needs the support of a huge studio, so it can be said that the construction of the studio has become the most important means of development for Phantom!

Linda naturally has no opinion on this decision, and he naturally knows the importance of building his own studio.

"This is already in the works, and the first 25 studios will be built in the early stage, which are expected to be completed in two years, with a total of 45 studios and a total investment of more than $500 million!" Linda replied.

Linda then handed the specific plan to Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye only took a cursory glance and agreed to Linda's plan, this kind of thing would not have been possible for him to follow up the whole process.

"The last one is about the construction of the Phantom Cinema!" Wu Jianye said

Compared with the model of Disneyland, the future development of Phantom is more suitable for the model of Universal Studios, and several major IPs in hand will become the main tourist park of Phantom Studios in the future.

"Actually, we don't need to be in such a hurry for the construction of Phantom Studios!" Linda suggested.

Although Wu Jianye repeatedly emphasized to her the importance of the Phantom Cinema, in Linda's view, if you want to build the Phantom Cinema, you need to have a theme park to accompany it, but now the shortcomings of Phantom Entertainment are revealed, and the movie theme parks that can be built in their hands are still very scarce.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry now, you should be in a hurry in the future, so let's circle the land first, and then the first thing to build is the "Jurassic Park" theme park and the "Terminator" theme park!"

"As for the rest, with the development of Phantom Entertainment, it will be built slowly!"

Linda knew the shortcomings, and Wu Jianye naturally knew about them, so he didn't oppose Linda's suggestion blankly.

But even so, Linda still hesitated: "Wu, you have to know that neither "Jurassic Park" nor "Terminator 2" have been released, if we start building the theme park of these two movies now, in case there is a problem at the box office of these two movies in the future, then we will not only lose money on the investment of the two movies!"

Wu Jianye did not show a displeased expression because Linda raised a different opinion, and even felt a little relieved, because Linda was thinking about the problem from the position of the president of Phantom Entertainment.

But what should be built still has to be built.

"Don't worry about this, haven't you forgotten that when "People and Ghosts" was released before, didn't everyone be optimistic about this movie?"

Linda said embarrassedly: "Even so, I think we are doing this a little too aggressively, you must know that if we add our acquisition of ABC TV network, the investment of Phantom Entertainment this year will exceed 12 billion US dollars, such a huge income, we have to be cautious!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and knew that if he didn't come up with some fundamental solutions, Linda's side would not let go easily, and Wu Jianye didn't want to often overwhelm people with power and let Linda make some not very optimistic investments!

"In this way, Xiangjiang's Fengge Media will make a guarantee to provide Phantom Entertainment with a credit loan of 300 million US dollars in Standard Chartered Bank as the start-up capital of Phantom Cinemas, and at the same time you and I will sign a gambling agreement on the box office of "Jurassic Park", if "Jurassic Park" does not get more than $300 million at the box office in North America by then, the investment of Phantom Studios will be borne by me alone, and it has nothing to do with Phantom Entertainment!"
