The Beverly Hills Clubhouse suspended its film show today to host Ronan and his guests.

The clubhouse is close to the reception room on the south slope, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook most of the city of Los Angeles, making people stand here and feel that the entire city of angels is under control, as if they are the owner of Los Angeles.

Lloyd Blankfein stood in front of the window, his eyes seemed to be looking at the City of Angels, but his head was carefully recalling the materials he had read before.

Even from his point of view, it's a bit striking.

It's not about the content, but how much I was shocked by the boldness and madness of the other party, and it doesn't matter what means are used to treat those ordinary people, Wall Street has done a lot of similar things.

I can't count the number of people in the United States who went bankrupt because of Wall Street.

But these methods are directly used on the big people in the political and business circles, and there are so many of them, it is really daring.

The consequences are also quite serious! If you don't get it right, you will also be imprisoned.

One can imagine what kind of situation it will face once it is exposed.

Some of them even involved Wall Street groups, including Goldman Sachs.

If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the "Wall Street Journal" in the other party's hand can always grasp the industry trends in a timely and fast manner......

Now it seems that it is not without reason.

Ronan didn't rush to speak, and sat on the single sofa, waiting patiently.

The plan has been carried out so far, and although everything is temporarily hidden below the water's surface, the big picture has been decided.

With Lloyd Blankfein's character and the situation facing Goldman Sachs, he will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

While far better off than Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs has also been hit by the economic crisis, and no one on Wall Street has been immune to the financial markets that have swept several industries and global markets.

It is very rare to have such a good opportunity during the depression of the industry and market.

Lloyd Blankfein didn't think about it for too long, and soon came from the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down on the previous sofa chair again, and said, "Ronan, are these real?"

Ronan put down the teacup in his hand: "Would I joke about this kind of thing?"

"That's not all, is it?" Lloyd Blankfein asked, "There are others, right?"

Ronan didn't answer directly, but said, "That's enough, right?"

Lloyd Blankfein nodded slightly, suddenly laughed, and said: "Goldman Sachs and Relativity Entertainment have always been good friends, since you personally spoke, I helped with this favor." ”

Ronan also smiled: "It's not that Relativity Entertainment wants Goldman Sachs to help, it's that Relativity Entertainment is helping Goldman Sachs." He said unhurriedly: "As soon as these exciting news come out, the situation faced by Fox and News Corp. in the 20th century can be imagined, with the ability of Goldman Sachs, in the capital market, there is a lot of room for maneuver, right?"

Lloyd Blankfein was not embarrassed either, and said with a smile: "We are mutually beneficial. ”

Ronan spread his hands and said, "Working with Relativity Entertainment will always be rewarding. ”

How could Lloyd Blankfein believe that the cooperation between Goldman Sachs and Relativity Entertainment is indeed relatively smooth on the whole, but the premise of all this is that Goldman Sachs itself has extremely strong strength.

How did Relativity Entertainment develop? How many small companies have been annexed along the way, it is not an exaggeration to say that cannibalism does not spit out bones.

Lloyd Blankfein suddenly asked, "Such a great opportunity, Ronan, are you willing to share it with us, why?"

Ronan replied casually, "When News Corp. and Twentieth Century Fox stock prices fall, I believe you will have the means to make huge gains and make them fall even harder." ”

Only when the Murdoch family has been hit harder can they sell Twentieth Century Fox.

Otherwise, the Murdoch family will not sell it, and Relativity Entertainment will not have a good way to do it without paying a huge price.

Relativity Entertainment wants to take down Twentieth Century Fox at a smaller cost and weaken the power of the entire News Corporation, which can be said to be the basic condition.

And it's not wise to use relativity entertainment alone to slap News Corp.

This group of top predators on Wall Street, whose stomachs were tossed by the financial crisis, now smells blood......

Lloyd Blankfein said: "I would carefully consider the possibility of going short. ”

"With today's economic climate, it's hard to miss an opportunity like this a second time," Ronan said. ”

"I understand. Lloyd Blankfein said slowly, "I need time to think about it. ”

Ronan didn't say anything more: "Hopefully we'll have a chance to work together again." ”

Robert Iger is also ready, Relativity Entertainment has contacted a professional trading team, and will also invest a certain amount of money and resources.

Lloyd Blankfein stood up and shook Ronan's hand, then took his leave.

Ronan called Robert Iger and gave him a rough idea of the situation so that Robert Iger could better grasp the real-time situation.

Robert Iger is in charge of the execution and has been preparing for the success of this time, and he will become the CEO of one of the top entertainment media groups in the United States and the world.

In the afternoon, Ronan rushed to the Century City Pacific Investment Foundation and met Lin Jian of the Qianlu Group, who had come to Los Angeles again.

In the next year, Lin Jian will stay in Los Angeles for a long time, and whether Qianlu Group's entertainment empire can be successfully established is extremely crucial.

This time, he also saw the preliminary plan of Relativity Entertainment, judging by years of business experience, the success rate is extremely high.

"Mr. Anderson. Lin Jian's square face was full of caution, and he reminded: "The opponent is an old fox for many years, and it should not be underestimated. ”

Ronan was equally cautious and said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. Not only is the plan being executed smoothly, but we have also made a number of plans to prevent unexpected situations from happening. ”

It is not the first time that Lin Jian has dealt with Ronan, and he also knows that this person has maturity and stability far beyond his age: "Well, the funds of the Qianlu Group will enter the market soon, and it will not be slower than the end of this month at the latest, and all the funds will be transferred to the account of the new company." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "The funds for Relativity Entertainment will be in place this week." ”

Lin Jian seemed to see a huge entertainment company beckoning to him, and said: "Mr. Anderson, if you can, I hope to keep more business, money is not a problem." ”

Ronan laughed: "The agreement has been signed. Mr. Lin, let's follow the agreement. He thought for a moment and said, "Even if you strip the part that is needed for relativistic entertainment, what Qianlu Group can get will be worth more than DreamWorks." ”

Lin Jian could only sigh secretly, Qianlu Group did not simply let Relativity Entertainment lead the way, and had done enough relevant investigations in the past six months.

As long as you can get the part you want, Qianlu Group's entertainment business can enter the world's first-class in one fell swoop.

Maybe not as good as Relativity Entertainment or Hollywood's remaining first-tier companies, but it's second only to them.

After years of struggle, it is better to make an acquisition.

It's no wonder that so many people are addicted to the capital game, which seems to be a good shortcut compared to the down-to-earth development of industry.

Lin Jian asked, "When will it be officially launched?"

"We need time to make the final preparations. Ronan roughly gave a time: "Next month, Twentieth Century Fox has a big-budget movie premiering next month." ”

Now, counting "Australia" starring Nicole Kidman, Twentieth Century Fox has collected six Dragon Balls, and I don't know if "Terminator 4" will become the seventh.

If yes, it's even better, Twentieth Century Fox even has a production cost with publicity and distribution expenses, investing $300 million+, and if it fails, it will trigger a series of chain effects.

Even if it weren't, Relativity Entertainment would have allowed Twentieth Century Fox to successfully summon dragons.

The dragon balls that Fox painstakingly dug up from Relativity Entertainment in the twentieth century are all flashing with a super aura called "huge losses".

According to various investigations, the failure of successive film production projects, the bottomless pit of streaming Fox Online, the squeeze of the economic crisis, coupled with the resulting debt, loan drawdown and financing difficulties, the capital chain of Twentieth Century Fox is very tight, even if Fox TV can still bring a certain amount of income, but it is also tight to the extent that it may break.

If it weren't for the Murdoch family and News Corp. behind it, Twentieth Century Fox itself would not have had a good time.

That is, Hollywood's big companies now belong to larger media groups, otherwise even the first-line studios will face bankruptcy if they mess up so many big productions in a row.

The Qianlu Group moved very quickly, and the day after Ronan met with Lin Jian, a sum of up to $3.5 billion went to the accounts of the new company jointly invested with Relativity Entertainment.

According to the feedback from the Oriental branch of Relativity Entertainment, the Qianlu Group borrowed heavily from banks on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and received considerable support.

It can only be said that this group company can develop, and it can be called a deep background there.

Ronan also vaguely remembers that the company's debts were once quite exaggerated, and later, for some reasons, it had to sell its heavy assets to pay off its bank debts.

But this also shows that Qianlu Group has a very strong ability to raise funds.

From the very beginning of Shahai Entertainment's financing to the Abu Dhabi Group, and now in cooperation with the Qianlu Group, Ronan has become more and more proficient in the operation of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs".

Twentieth Century Fox has a lot of business, which has a large degree of overlap with Relativity Entertainment, and some of them, such as some production departments and Blue Sky Studios, etc., so Relativity Entertainment has no need to eat it at all.

Before the acquisition war officially began, Ronan not only successfully found the next family to take over, but also asked the next family to intervene in advance and take out real money to reduce the financial pressure of Relativity Entertainment.
