"This is indeed one of our goals," Lin Qirong nodded, "The North Mi Film Market is the most mature film market in the world, and we hope to be able to integrate into this market, get greater improvement here, and of course want to make more money."

The United States is the entertainment center of the world, and every filmmaker has the highest goal of developing in the United States, letting the films he created be released here, and conquering the audience here.

So do we, and I guess there's nothing wrong with that, is it?"

Rick?? Blair thought that he had grabbed Lin Qirong's handle and chased after him, "So you just want to buy Ebeth and slowly infiltrate it." ”

Lin Qirong sighed, "I don't know how Mr. Rick came to such a conclusion, and what is the basis?"

As far as I know, there is no prohibition in the United States that prevents foreign companies from acquiring shares in the United States, and it is not uncommon for companies from other countries to acquire film companies in the United States.

The most famous is probably Sony's acquisition of Colombia more than 30 years ago.

It's a pity that Mr. Rick was too young at the time, otherwise he would have rushed to the front line to denounce the neon invasion of American culture, after all, Colombia is much more important than Ibess, which is a symbol of American culture. ”

"That's a completely different thing, please don't confuse it. ”

"Isn't it different?" Lin Qirong asked with some confusion, "Didn't Sony acquire Colombia? Or does Mr. Rick think that Sony's acquisition of Colombia is a good thing, which is conducive to the spread of American culture?"

He spread his hands, "I now know what is called double standard, Huaxia's company is just doing an ordinary business, Mr. Rick feels that the culture of the United States is going to end, and the end of the world is coming."

And Neon's company's acquisition of the largest film and television company in the United States is considered a great thing?"

"I didn't mean that. "Rick?? Blair denied, "Although Sony has acquired Colombia, the nature of Colombia has not changed much, and your acquisition of Ibis will inevitably bring about a huge change, which is unacceptable to us." ”

"It's a bit too much to draw conclusions before it happens, Mr. Rick. ”

"It is undeniable that Sony's experience in acquiring Colombia has provided us with a lot to learn, and we will try to find a way to satisfy everyone.

But all of this requires us to work together with the staff of EBETH, rather than sitting here and jumping to conclusions about EBETH's future like Mr. Rick did. ”

"Let's not talk about this, we should see that with the rise of China, the influence of our country around the world has gradually faded, and China has slowly replaced our role in many regions......"

Rick?? Blair wants to be able to bring the conversation back to familiar territory.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rick. Lin Qirong immediately interrupted him.

"I remember that our topic today was about culture, and if you talk about politics and economics, I don't think we're qualified to talk about it, so if you want to talk about it, you should go to Mr. President, and I think he'll like your argument.

We should move on to the matter of Ibeth. ”

Rick?? A hint of annoyance flashed in Blair's eyes, "What's there to say? You are obviously pretending to offer a condition that is hard to refuse, and then you will break up Ibeth and turn it completely into your toy." ”

Lin Qirong was surprised, "No, right? Mr. Rick thinks our conditions are too good?"

"Of course, if it is a real acquisition, where will such good conditions be offered? It must be that you bribed the senior management of Ibex......

Rick?? Blair hurriedly stopped.

Lin Qirong's eyes lit up, and he refuted it as soon as possible.

"It turns out that Mr. Rick thinks our offer is too high, and Ebeth doesn't deserve such a high offer, and thinks that we are doing something illegal.

In this regard, I implore Mr. Rick to produce evidence, and if Mr. Rick has evidence that we have bribed the senior management of Ibess, then I am willing to accept the investigation of the relevant authorities.

But if Mr. Rick can't produce evidence, I have to suspect that Mr. Rick may be slandering us for some reason, and I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation. ”

Rick?? Blair's face was pale, he didn't speak, and he only felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

How long has it been since this feeling of being pressed by others has appeared?

"It seems that Mr. Rick has no proof. ”

Lin Qirong shook his head, "Perhaps, in Mr. Rick's eyes, we should continue to lower the price of our acquisition of Ibess, as long as Ibess's best assets and the best talents, the rest will leave them to fend for themselves."

But in our opinion, we prefer cooperation to plunder.

We attach great importance to the brand of Ibess, the accumulation of Ibex's long-term operation, and the employees of Ibess.

Our Tonghua Group is developing a bit fast, and the demand for talents is huge, especially employees with rich experience in film production like the staff of Ibess, which we are eager for.

These are the reasons why we decided to offer such acquisition conditions to EBES, which in our opinion is worth the price.

Of course, in Mr. Rick's eyes, we are all conspiracies. ”

"I didn't. "Rick?? Blair blushed.

Under Lin Qirong's step-by-step pressing, he had been forced into a corner, and he had no power to fight back at all.

He overestimated himself and chose his least good field, the film field, to confront Lin Qirong, rather than the fields he was best at, politics and economics.

Saying that China's film industry can surpass Hollywood in the United States, and the invasion of Tonghua Entertainment will eventually lead to the decline of Hollywood films, even he dare not imagine this view.

Because the two sides are not at the same level at all, Chinese movies are at most just starting, while Hollywood movies have been standing at the top for many years.

And he didn't prepare enough, which led to being suppressed by the well-prepared Lin Qirong at the beginning.

In the middle of this, he wanted to change the topic and transfer to the political field that he was good at, but obviously Lin Qirong already knew this, and he did not hesitate to interrupt every time, pulling the topic back to the original topic, and let him punch the cotton, which was completely ineffective.

This also led to his current situation, which is a real failure.

Francis, who was on the side, shook his head helplessly when he saw this.

He didn't expect such a one-sided situation, Rick, who has always been a good argument?? Blair was incoherent under Lin Qirong's attack and collapsed.

It turns out that Lin Qirong has such a powerful eloquence.

He didn't go to help Rick?? Blair cleared the siege, just raised his own questions, and discussed the problem of Yibeth with Lin Qirong, which can be regarded as answering a lot of questions for everyone.

This was the end of the long-awaited "Debate".

Because of the relationship between Huaxia and the United States, because of Lin Qirong and Rick?? Blair's needle-to-needle to Maimang, this episode of the show received very good attention, and the ratings in the North region were second only to the national broadcast of the presidential election, which made the TV station's employees celebrate.

Not to mention in Huaxia, people watched the live broadcast in which Lin Qirong had the upper hand and put Rick step by step. Blair was cornered and left without any chance of resistance.

Everyone's hearts were full of pride, and they felt that at this moment, their hearts were also connected with Lin Qirong in the distance.

This debate was very useful, and Lin Qirong succeeded in winning the support of most of the people.

Since Ibeth is bankrupt, why can't Tonghua Group take over?

The conditions offered by others are full of sincerity, which is of course a great thing for Ibess.

If others don't want the Tonghua Group to succeed, they can offer the same conditions, and I believe that under the same conditions, Yibesi is also willing to cooperate with them.

Otherwise, why ask someone to give up better terms and accept another company's acquisition?

Through this debate, Lin Qirong successfully conveyed this concept to many people.

Only now do some people understand why Lin Qirong would accept such an invitation.

In the eyes of others, and Rick?? Blair's debate was not his purpose at all, he just wanted to express his point in front of the live camera.

"We've all fallen into Lin's trap. ”

Many people lamented, "ABC TV has set up a stage for him, and the content is the cultural field that Lin is most familiar with, but the opponent is a reporter who usually does some propaganda work, and the result is completely predictable."

Rick is still suitable for advocating the Huaxia threat theory in newspapers and social media, rather than standing on the debate stage and debating with others, in front of Lin Qirong, he is like a completely inexperienced rookie, who has been pressed to death from the beginning, has no power to fight back, and is defeated.

Lin successfully persuaded a large number of neutral audiences through this unexciting debate, so that the Chinese threat theory advocated by Rick and others suddenly had no market.

Can Tonghua Group's acquisition of Ibex be compared with Sony's acquisition of Colombia?

The Chinese threat theory has a lot of market in the political and economic fields, but in the cultural field, who will believe it?

The cultural industry of China and the cultural industry of the United States are completely different types, and Chinese movies can only bring us happiness, but they can never threaten our cultural industry.

At the end of the day, it was Rick's choice to confront Lin in an unfamiliar territory that led to this outcome. ”

After this debate, there was a new change in the acquisition of Ibis by Tonghua Group.

Lin Qirong helped Ibis find the most suitable excuse to make the pressure on them a lot lighter.

Daniel admitted in an interview with a media that as a veteran film company that has developed in Hollywood for many years, Ibex does not want to quit the film field from now on, and seeking cooperation is a must be done, and all employees of the company must be properly resettled.

This is also the reason why Ibis is willing to contact Tonghua Group, because Tonghua Group understands their demands and is willing to seek the best solution.

EBS is willing to negotiate with any company that is interested in cooperating with it, but EBS will carefully select the partner that best serves the interests of EBS and all employees.

After this interview, the format gradually became clear, and the negotiations between the two sides continued.

After more than a month of arduous negotiations, the negotiation team led by Anne finally reached a consensus with Ibace and successfully acquired the film company Ibess.
