Chapter 921: Chief Allen
The development of Starlight Film and Television in China, even if it has the popularity of Minions, is still not as good as Miramax's legend overseas. In the past few years, the top ten global box office editions have never lacked works by Miramax and MGM.
As a company that controls the management, production and distribution rights of MGM, Miramax produced and distributed the "Hobbit" trilogy, two "007" series. Each of them ranked in the top 10 of the year's box office rankings, and if you add four Miramax's own works such as "The Hunger Games", almost every year there are three or four films that rank in the top 10 in the world.
The name of Hollywood's seventh-largest film company seems to be engraved on Miramax, and the cooperation with Netflix has allowed a large number of film and television works to appear in streaming media, not only with stable income, but also to expand the company's influence in Hollywood. The level of star-making and excellent film and television works are two hard indicators of giant film and television companies, both of which are indispensable.
"Mr. Zhou, do we have a chance to acquire Miramax?" Zhang Zhao
"Acquisition? How much do you think you can buy Miramax?" Zhou Shi, when he bought Miramax cheaply from Disney, there are still people gossiping. The price of more than a billion dollars at the time was not the actual value of Miramax.
"We did the math, if the price is between 60~8 billion US dollars, we can afford it!" Zhang Zhao, the market value of Starlight Film and Television is now about 35 billion US dollars.
Is it possible that Zhang Zhao thinks that 35 billion US dollars is the embodiment of the true value of Starlight? I don't know how much Starlight Film and Television makes in a year, and it actually has this ambition.
"Actually, we are still thinking about Europa Films, but Miramax is more suitable for our internationalization, especially Hollywood. "Zhang Zhao
"I won't put obstacles in your way in this matter, and it's a good thing to merge!" Zhou Shi, Miramax's shareholders are not simple, and there are rich people in China, the United States and India. And how can a thriving company be willing to be acquired, and the market value of Starlight Film and Television's $35 billion is not recognized by everyone, in fact, in a few months, this market value may become a thing of the past.
"......" Zhang Zhao, of course, he would not think that he could complete a large-scale cross-border acquisition on his own, even Europa Films, the film company of which Luc Besson is the majority shareholder, has a big problem. Although it is said that this is a European company, it is more like a Hollywood Wall Street company, and the typical term is a fraud-like company, and if they can trick people, they will definitely not be soft.
"Is our film industry chain perfect, do we have experience in the development of film and television peripheral products, and do we have plans for Starlight's theme park?" Zhou Shi, compared with going abroad for development, he pays more attention to the in-depth development of the film and television industry. The market is huge and has a lot of potential to be tapped.
"We have not relaxed the development of film and television peripherals, but it takes time to ......," Zhang Zhao said
Zhou Shi doesn't care, anyway, the road is chosen by himself, and when the time comes, he will look at the results and speak, uh, but Zhang Zhao is a shareholder of Starlight, and he has single-handedly developed and strengthened Starlight, even if he wants to sanction Zhang Zhao, there are many difficulties.
Forget it, put the problem aside, Oriental Wealth's acquisition of Modu Securities has come to an end, and the merger of two companies with similar scales is still uncommon in the capital market, especially this merger mainly involves equity rather than cash (in Amazon's acquisition of YouTube, and then the pig's foot to obtain a large amount of Amazon's equity is actually not very reasonable. Later, Yahoo acquired Yelp, and it didn't make sense for Pig's Foot to become Yahoo's largest shareholder).
Zhou Shi came to the magic capital for this matter, and the contracts of the two companies were signed, waiting for the approval of the government. However, whether the new company is an Internet company or a brokerage company, and how to characterize it, needs his decision.
Oriental Wealth, the main business includes financial information, data and information, a large amount of capital investment, so that Oriental Wealth surpassed Wind Information, coupled with the addition of Analysys International, strict control of advertising, to ensure the largest financial portal status. Tiantian Fund Insurance is the largest Internet fund and insurance sales channel on the whole network. On this basis, we are developing artificial intelligence investment products to provide customers with professional asset management services.
Needless to say, there is no difference between Modu Securities and securities companies such as CITIC Haitong, if you insist on saying that there is, it is more cold, and you have not learned that Ping An Securities deliberately falsified in order to make money to assist in corporate IPOs. It's not that they don't want to make money, but the Four Elephants Fund doesn't have that background, and if the fraud is discovered by the documents, the punishment will be worse than that of the traitor. Different identities enjoy different treatment in the capital market......
"The combined company is a fintech company, so that technology can arm finance, and let professional services technology.
I really don't know whether our core should be finance or technology, just like if you ask me whether the future world will be finance or technology, I don't know how to answer. Only one thing will not change, the future of financial innovation is inseparable from the information revolution and technological innovation, and it is inseparable from blockchain and decentralization.
Digital payments will become mainstream, and technological developments will disrupt existing payment methods. But if technology dominates the development of finance, there are too many uncertainties......" Zhou Shi
"So Mr. Zhou prefers that we are a fintech company rather than a fintech ......company," said Sun Wei
"Yes, 51 percent finance, 49 percent technology, but to ensure investment in financial technology research and development, with technology as the overall core driving force, the application of technology to finance, so as to improve the company's efficiency and profits. "Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou, what is blockchain?" Sun Wei
"Bitcoin knows, blockchain is one of the foundation and core ideas of Bitcoin, it is a decentralized database, and more specific information can be explained by IT experts of Time. "Zhou Shi
"Typical applications of financial technology are intelligent risk control, investment advisory and insurance, as well as intelligent customer service, intelligent compliance monitoring, and so on.
For example, intelligent risk control focuses on major data, algorithms and computing power, emphasizes the correlation between data, and can use face recognition, fingerprint recognition and other live recognition to confirm user identity.
His advantages are obvious, firstly, intelligent risk control brings lightning-fast audit speed, and the time span is calculated in minutes and seconds, bringing users a better service experience; secondly, the analysis of user behavior data can achieve a more accurate assessment; finally, in terms of risk prediction, the use of data models can accurately quantify the time and scenario when future risks are most likely to occur. Zhou Shi memorized the information from a few hours ago and showed his erudition at the meeting......
Fintech companies, hey, I don't know if this direction is right or wrong!
