This kind of thing, Ronan didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "No need." I don't have that much ambition and I don't have that much ability, Relativity Entertainment is just a small company, and it is enough to make a little money in the gap between big companies. ”

The talent of opening his eyes and telling nonsense, Ronan has long been full.

Aziz and Saimir glanced at each other, each seeing surprise in the other's face.

"Ronan, don't be too busy refusing just yet. Aziz quickly said: "We have always had a good cooperation, and this is also to make our cooperation closer......

"If the Investment Bureau wants to continue investing in films, my company and I are very welcome. Ronan will not compromise on such critical issues: "I welcome all my Arab friends, including the Investment Bureau, to work with me to invest in films. ”

He gradually became serious: "But my company, not only on behalf of myself, but also my father's life's work, I will not transfer equity." ”

The other party's terms seem very tempting, 100 million US dollars in equity transfer fees, 300 million US dollars in capital injection, it is indeed very attractive, but Ronan is absolutely impossible to agree, especially to tie the next few years to it.

It is conceivable that once the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority completes the acquisition, what kind of movies will it shoot? Ten films like "Ace Agent" in a year? Relativity Entertainment will soon be finished.

Aziz didn't expect Ronan's attitude to be so resolute, and quickly said: "Ronan, Mr. Minister has always attached great importance to you and cherished your friendship......

Ronan's attitude was already very clear, and he didn't want to dwell on it, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment later, so let's stop here today." ”

There is no point in talking about it any further.

"Mr. Anderson!" Semir couldn't help but stand up and said, "Think again!"

Ronan smiled and said: "I am honored that Mr. Minister values relativity entertainment, and I also attach great importance to the friendship with the Investment Bureau and Mr. Minister, but our personal relationship should not be involved in such a major business event, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future." ”

Aziz looked at Saleh, and the investment bureau knew that Ronan and Saleh were friends.

Saleh sat there, but he didn't mean to speak.

Ronan was about to say goodbye and leave, but Aziz said again: "You think about it again, and we will negotiate the transaction price." ”

"No need. Ronan was very resolute: "Please convey greetings to Mr. Minister on my behalf." ”

Seeing that Semir was about to speak again, Ronan didn't give him a chance and strode out of the reception room.

"Your Highness......" Aziz looked at Saleh expectantly.

Saleh stood up: "I'll go talk to Ronan, don't get your hopes up." ”

With that, Saleh also walked out of the reception room.

Semir frowned: "How can this be?"

Aziz lowered his head and paced back and forth, saying, "Why is that? Didn't Ronan Anderson always say that he was a good friend of Abu Dhabi? Why did he even refuse the kindness of his friend?"

Semir asks a more critical question: "How do we talk to the minister?"

The situation is too different from the forecast, and the investment bureau is very optimistic about the acquisition of Ronan Anderson's company, and they have also done professional research, there are too many companies in the United States that are seriously lacking in capital at the beginning, and in order to attract capital, the owners of the companies are eager to sell themselves.

Shouldn't it be easy for the Investment Bureau to help Ronan Anderson solve the funding problem as a friend?

Aziz took two steps back and forth and said, "Let's see the situation on Saleh's side first, and I'll report to the minister in the afternoon." ”

After getting on the elevator, Ronan is still thinking about the next steps, which may bring a series of chain reactions, and the biggest impact is undoubtedly the inability to raise funds from Abu Dhabi.

Fortunately, there have been preparations for a long time, and there are not only local tycoons in Abu Dhabi in the world, but there are too many people who are interested in investing in Hollywood movies.

Hollywood is like a graceful woman wearing a veil, staring at a pervert with green eyes all the time.

As for the rest, it's nothing.

After all, this is Los Angeles, not Abu Dhabi.

And this is a normal business dealing, you can't refuse the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's acquisition, and then they will make a bomb to make themselves a dirt plane, right?

The UAE is not next door to Saudi Arabia.

There are also many people or companies around the world who refuse to work with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Getting out of the elevator and seeing a few Arabs with turbans walking towards him, Ronan felt that it didn't hurt to be a little cautious, and went back to hire a few professional bodyguards, just in case?

Arab countries and even the entire Middle East region should not go in recent years.

The goal of Relativity Entertainment is media and entertainment, not energy or arms trade, and the Middle East market does not need Ronan to come out personally.

"Wait, Ronan. ”

A familiar voice came from behind, and Ronan stopped, looking back to see Saleh after him.

Seeing that Saleh had something to say, Ronan pointed to the hotel lobby lounge and said, "Let's go over there and talk." ”

The two of them came to the rest place and found a quiet place to sit down, and Saleh stopped talking, as if he did not know how to speak.

Ronan smiled and asked, "You're here to persuade me too?"

Saleh did not answer immediately, as he was the manager of the investment bureau, he should indeed use the personal relationship between the two to lobby Ronan, but he felt that he should not embarrass his friend.

In the end, Saleh chose to follow his heart and said: "I don't want to be involved in this. However, Ronan, don't blame Brother Mansour, he values working with you very much, thinks that doing so will be a win-win situation, and wants to help you, after all, you are our friend. ”

Ronan said very seriously: "I have always regarded the Investment Bureau as a friend, but Saleh, shouldn't friends respect each other and get along with each other on an equal footing? Could it be that in order to help a friend, he rashly decided to buy his company without the other party's knowledge?"

Saleh was speechless for a moment.

In his eyes, the Investment Bureau is really not doing well.

Saleh is the prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, or the kind that has some right to speak, Ronan is very aware of his weight, and specially said: "I have always regarded Abu Dhabi as a friend, and I also want to dispel misunderstandings about the Arab world through films, even if it is difficult and will encounter countless eyes in Hollywood, I am still doing it." My film company and I will continue to do it. I believe that no matter what you believe, no matter where you come from, no matter what color you are, no matter what your political philosophy is, you are all equal!"

Ronan accentuated: "It's a philosophy I'll never change. I understand that the Investment Bureau wants to expand its influence and dispel misunderstandings, but this kind of film should be left to professionals like me. ”

"I'm sorry, Ronan. Saleh felt that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was wrong: "Really, I'm very sorry, I went back and talked to Brother Mansour on the phone and asked him to dismiss the idea of buying Relativity Entertainment." ”

It is not very important to dispel it or not, the Arabs have very little influence in the United States, Ronan just doesn't want to have a stalemate with the Arab Investment Bureau, everyone is good to talk about and disperse.

Ronan shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you, Saleh, we are friends, you don't have to apologize for others." ”

Saleh's smile was a little ugly: "Yes! Ronan, no matter what, we are all friends. ”

To be honest, Saleh is indeed a very good person, whether he led the way at the beginning or wants to help now, it has refreshed Ronan's perception of Arabs.

This of course refers to the good side.

Faith does not determine whether a person is good or bad.

Ronan rarely said: "Saleh, after Los Angeles, came to the United States, and encountered difficulties, even if you called me. ”

"Of course. Saleh smiled and said, "I'm not looking for you, who are you looking for?"

Ronan and Saleh tacitly agreed not to mention that the Investment Bureau wanted to buy Relativity Entertainment, and after chatting for a while, Ronan left the Intercontinental Hotel.

That afternoon, Ronan contacted a reputable security company and hired two bodyguards, both of whom were from the anti-terrorist force, and after leaving the army, they continued to work in professions related to their time in the army, each of whom had more than five years of experience as bodyguards, and the people they protected had never had an accident.

When it comes to his own safety, he sometimes overtakes caution.

But there is only one life, even if you can be reborn in case of hanging, isn't it a great tragedy to be reborn in a place like Somalia in Africa?

The situation was not as bad as imagined, Saleh called Ronan that night, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, hearing that Ronan had no intention of selling Relativity Entertainment, although there was an internal dispute, but it quickly calmed down and decided to temporarily slow down the pace of entering Hollywood.

This is just a commercial activity, and it does not involve the use of non-commercial means.

Sheikh Mansour was somewhat upset, but after Saleh called him, the matter was over.

If the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority wants to break into the mainstream of Western society, it also has to follow some of the most basic social rules.

Ronan listened to Saleh's words on the phone, and felt that the bottom line of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was much higher than his.

He can't help it, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority relies on a country, and there is oil underground, but what about him?

Compared with those proud sons in Hollywood, Ronan's conditions can only be said to be too poor.

In his previous life, Ronan saw a very sad message in the circle of friends, telling the sad story of a director with a very background, the story is very exaggerated, but it can reflect the truth to some extent.

At that time, a young director named Taravis-Knight, under great pressure to take over Bumblebee independent films when "Transformers 5" was in full swing, once he failed, he could only give up directing and go home to inherit the 10 billion dollar family fortune.

This story is infinitely sad.

Once Ronan specifically checked and found that the story was even sadder, Taravis Knight had a record, he Lao Tzu bought 100,000 copies at one time, worked in a stop-motion animation company, and he Lao Tzu directly bought the animation company......
