In two days, John Days collected three large boxes of various materials weighing dozens of kilograms. From the establishment of Colombia, the development of various stages, the information of the heads and important managers in each period, to their enviable source library, to their nearly 30 years of production success and failure, to the box office, market feedback, word-of-mouth and so on of the films they have produced in the past five years.

Of course, there is a detailed account of all the acquisitions and mergers they have been involved in in the past.

Detailed, all-encompassing.

Moreover, when he sent the information, he looked like he understood it, and said, "BOSS, I can make sure that in the process of collecting this information, I didn't alarm anyone related to it." From the FBI, to Columbia, to Coca-Cola, everything, oh, including the American people!"

When he said this, he had a beautiful and treacherous face, and he seemed extremely excited.

can be in Hollywood for many years, from a production assistant with little background, step by step to a big-name producer, and become a collaborator of James Cameron, John Days is obviously a smart person. At that time, Li Qian said that he suddenly had an idea, and asked John Days to help collect information, maybe he didn't react for a while, but the information was collected, and two days have passed, to say that people like him haven't come back to their senses and haven't figured out what Li Qian wants to do, it is insulting the IQ of the entire Hollywood.

The producers, agents and top executives in the upper echelons of Hollywood are a group of smart people whose IQ is not inferior to that of the world's top elite in the financial circle of Manhattan, New York.

John Days is not the best of the best, at least in the upper middle class, although his current status has slipped somewhat.

Moreover, he was smart and clever, and he was very excited and interested in this matter, but after sending the information, he quickly got up and took his leave.

He saw the person behind the Minghu culture, China Qi.

Therefore, he knew that this matter was still in the stage of conception and analysis, and the only people who really had the ability to make decisions or influence decisions were Li Qian and that China Qi.

At this time, it is not only insurprising to say that you want to participate, but also extremely stupid.

This is an amazing deal that will involve billions of dollars of money once launched, and will surely shock the whole United States and even the world!

Only Li Qian's closest and most willing partners are qualified to participate from the beginning, and he is not qualified enough.

After getting the information, John Days left on the front foot, and Li Qian and Qi Jie on the back foot had already asked the bodyguards to bring documents weighing dozens of kilograms and personally drove them to the hotel - after receiving the call, Qi Jie flew over from China on the same day, and she also brought a professional work team of seven people.

There are even two of them, who are from the team of a well-known domestic accounting firm that Minghu Culture has been using in recent years.

This matter, Li Qian's idea, is indeed scary enough.

Therefore, even if so many people come and collect so much information, all these people can make is only a preliminary analysis to provide some assistance and reference for Li Qian and Qi Jie's thinking.

Well, at least you have to come up with tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars of money to invite a large professional financial or accounting firm with a variety of successful acquisition cases to plan, analyze, and handle the entire acquisition negotiation -- this is definitely not a business that Li Qian can do with a check, slap it in front of Coca-Cola, and say, "I bought it!"

It is even very likely that the US presidential office will have to nod in order for this deal to be completed.

After all, Colombia is still one of the seven major Hollywood studios, and they still have a wide influence in the United States, in the world—not only China, but also the United States. In the United States, you are an American, you can scold the president, and even that is quite fashionable, but the US government will easily not allow its own country's big mouthpiece in the cultural industry to fall into the hands of foreigners!

Unless the U.S. government thinks you're a staunch pro-American!

Therefore, to put it mildly, the US government does not approve it, and Li Qian will not be able to buy it with more money in his hand.

Therefore, if it is too difficult in the end, this may be a deal that requires the embassy in the United States or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country to intervene and lobby for Minghu Culture!

Of course, what Sony almost could do back then, now that Minghu Culture wants to do, it may not be intercepted much at the policy and government level.

And the most important thing is that together with this idea, it can no longer be pressed.

As long as it is within the scope of his ability, as long as it is possible to buy it, Li Qian can't resist the temptation of owning a major Hollywood production company no matter what!

…………

John Days continued to keep in touch with several studios, especially Columbia Pictures, and he followed Li Qian's instructions, neither particularly hot, but also never cold, just talking about the details of the cooperation between the two sides little by little.

Qi Jie took people to live in a hotel first, and then moved from the hotel to another villa bought by Liao Liao - the group ate and lived together, no one was allowed to leave without permission and talk to the outside world, and everyone concentrated on summarizing and analyzing dozens of kilograms of documents and materials on hand.

Obviously, this work cannot be done in a day or two.

But there was a work of three or two days, and these masters were able to draw a rough outline of this matter-

"In this case, putting aside all external resistance, if we want to win it, it is conservatively estimated that Coca-Cola may offer $2.5 billion to $3 billion for Colombia, and we must have $3.2 to $3.5 billion in funds in hand, and it is cash, to ensure that the acquisition can be successfully completed. However, as long as sufficient reserves of funds can be ensured, there is a high possibility that the acquisition will be negotiated. ”

This is the preliminary conclusion reached by a team of seven professionals.

With this conclusion, at dinner that day, Li Qian, Qi Jie and Liao Liao had a discussion.

Because Li Qian asked Qi Jie, "How much money do I have now?"

Yes, this question sounds strange at first glance, but in fact, it is not strange at all, Li Qian does not know how much money he has now, and many people in this world are like this, once there is more money to a certain extent, he often does not know how much money he has as well as his own exclusive accountant and financial advisor.

And Qi Jie can barely be regarded as Li Qian's big housekeeper, financial advisor, and exclusive accountant.

Qi Jie thought for a while and replied: "Your recent money has been drained away by Xiaolu's side very much, I don't know how much liquidity she has now, but the liquidity that you can use now in your name, if you add the part of stocks and bonds that are easy to realize, give me a month, I can raise about seven to eight hundred million yuan for you, Hua Yuan! ”

Speaking of this, she sighed, half complaining and half helpless, and said: "In recent years, you have burned too much money! It is both scientific research and film and television city, and it is clear that our annual profits are so high, but the amount of cash reserves is always not up! However, if I use these seven or eight billion, I can guarantee that it will not affect the normal operation of the company. ”

Li Qian chewed the steak vigorously and nodded slowly.

Liao Liao raised his hand, "I have about 200 million yuan of money in my hand, and I have been lying in the account without moving, which I have saved over the years, of which about 150 million is Huayuan, more than 100 million US dollars in cash." If you need to, I have a lot of properties in China, all of which Lao Qi bought for me, even if I don't sell them and get a mortgage, I should be able to borrow 120 million yuan?

Qi Jie rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Liao Liao usually can't talk about this kind of topic, but she is a little active today.

Li Qian thought for a while and asked, "If I make a loan, how much can I borrow in total?"

Qi Jie thought for a while and said: "Our company has always not taken out loans, if you make a certain loan for the sake of acquisition, it will definitely be no problem to take money out, industry practice, cultural industry companies like ours, with a debt ratio of 50%, are still in a green and safe state." If this is the case, our company is now valued at 6 to 7 billion yuan, and it is not a big problem to lend three billion in cash. It would even be easy. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Li Qian and said, "Of course, if you are willing to take out a loan from the shares of iFLYTEK Group, then there is no need to discuss this issue." Your shares in iFLYTEK Group are now worth more than 30 billion, and they are still appreciating rapidly. Therefore, with the current momentum of iFLYTEK, as long as you want to take out a loan, take out 10 billion stocks, and talk about it carefully, it is not a big problem to lend 5 or 6 billion. You must know that banks have always been cautious about the mortgage of stocks, but the stocks of iFLYTEK Group are definitely exceptions. ”

Li Qian nodded slowly, but before he could speak, Qi Jie had already continued: "If you want to buy Colombia, I support it, and if you want to take out a loan, I agree in principle." But the question now is not whether we can make up enough money, the biggest question in front of us is whether we can repay the loan in time!"

Speaking of this, she said: "Colombia is indeed a big piece of fat, but you can see it, and other people can also see it, and the people who are greedy are not one or two, but one or two, so why don't other people buy it? Because once they buy it, it will be a big burden! Last year and the year before that, Colombia lost 74 million and 69 million respectively! Every year, it lost 70 million! In 2000, it lost a little less, and it also lost more than 40 million!"

"So, before you decide on the acquisition, the most important thing you need to consider is just one thing, that is, once the acquisition is completed, how can you guarantee that you will be able to turn a profit! If you can't turn a profit and continue to lose money, you will have a debt of up to 10 or 200 million US dollars, oh, by the way, I forgot to say, the accountant told me that now is the time when Coca-Cola wants to sell Colombia the most, because in the next five years, Colombia will have nearly 400 million US dollars of loans due one after another, including Ben Gali, a total of more than 500 million to 600 million US dollars! ”

"The acquisition of it means that this batch of debts has been transferred to us, and the debts we need to consider repaying in the next few years may be as high as more than two billion US dollars - from the current situation, if you do not continue to expand, help you stabilize the current chassis, do a good job in the established development plan, and invest in what should be invested, in the next five years, I can guarantee that Minghu Culture will provide you with 500 million to 800 million yuan of profitability every year, that is, your debt repayment ability!"

"Of course, that assumes that the TV series and movies you finalize will meet their profitability targets on time. OTHERWISE, SIMPLY THE RECORD AND PERFORMANCE MARKET, AS WELL AS THE DIVIDENDS FROM OUR HOLDINGS IN SHUNTIAN TV, HUNAN SATELLITE TV AND SHANDONG SATELLITE TV, AND THE NET PROFIT OF THE SPECIAL EFFECTS COMPANY OF ABOUT 350 MILLION A YEAR, I CAN AT MOST ENSURE A NET PROFIT OF 200 MILLION TO 300 MILLION A YEAR. ”

Hearing this, Li Qian nodded slowly again.

Qi Jie's meaning, he understood it very clearly, to put it simply, you can afford it, no problem, the other party is probably happy to sell, at best, it is a matter of more money and less money, but the problem is that after buying, if you can't turn a profit into a profit, it continues to lose money, that is a sinkhole!

How can you ensure that Colombia will be able to turn a profit once it is in your own hands?

No one can guarantee this! Neither can Li Qian!

However, after listening to Qi Jie's analysis, Li Qian made up his mind in his heart: Colombia wants to buy it! And it must be bought!

After buying it, I completed the global layout at once, and completed the last piece of the puzzle that Minghu culture lacked in the fastest way to go global!

So, while eating, he silently calculated the account in his heart: the cash in his hand is seven or eight billion, and the Minghu culture is seven or eight billion, adding up to seven or eight billion US dollars, and there is still a shortage of two or five billion US dollars.

Then take out a loan!

According to Qi Jie's calculations, Minghu Culture can lend 3 billion Chinese dollars, no problem, and then make some of the loans, and finally take out 3.5 billion US dollars to swallow Colombia!

And if that's not enough...... Well, you can find Brother Cao and Brother Yu to inject capital, they may not be too big to be qualified to have an idea, but at the level of one or two hundred million three and five billion Chinese yuan, there is no need to alarm the family behind them, they have it themselves!

And also...... Well?

Yes!

While eating, Li Qian suddenly started to froze, and then when he came back to his senses, he put down his knife and fork, looked at the time, and estimated that if the person on the other side of the ocean got up early, he should have almost gotten up, and then took out his mobile phone, found a number and called.
