Chapter 519: George Economic Company

……

After separating from Buddy Morris, Guo Shouyun didn't walk to the door when the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

I took it out and looked at it, and after thinking about it briefly, "You can go back by yourself today, I still have some things." ”

Eva Green nodded obediently, "Then don't be too late." ”

"Hmm!"

"Matthew, arrange for a bodyguard to take Eva back. ”

"Yes, boss!"

After seeing her leave, Guo Shouyun walked to the staircase leading to the first floor of the VIP box next to him, and waited for less than two minutes, George Roosevelt in a blue suit walked over, and there was a blonde woman in a long red dress beside him, but Guo Shouyun was not familiar with it.

"Bruce!"

After a brief hug, "I thought you wouldn't be coming back from Boston!"

"How is it possible, my company is in Los Angeles. After a pause, "Ellie, you go back first." ”

The blonde Ellie Jie obviously knew Guo Shouyun, so after hearing George's words, the unwilling expression on her face was so clear. However, she is obviously not a fool, she knows that if she wants to become a big star, she still needs the men around her to support her. So, despite his reluctance, he nodded consciously.

"Mr. Guo, it's a great honor to meet you!"

Guo Shouyun nodded lightly.

After the woman said hello and left, "How's it going?"

"How's that?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, Ellie is so beautiful, aren't you impressed?"

Looking at him squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, with a lewd~ expression, Guo Shouyun raised his eyebrows.

"Do you think that if I am just pretty, there will be such a woman around me?"

Looking at Guo Shouyun, who turned around and walked downstairs, George Roosevelt hurriedly chased after him.

"Hey, just kidding. Don't be angry!"

"Angry, I just don't want to waste time with you!"

"Alright then, let's get down to business. I have a few things I'd like to ask you for. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Let's say it in another place. ”

Guo Shouyun didn't object, there are many people here, and the scene is chaotic, so it's really not suitable to talk about things.

"Let's go in the car. ”

George Roosevelt nodded, and the two left the Dolby Theater. Guo Shouyun's Rolls-Royce Extended Edition is just right for them.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"During this time, the shooting plan for next year should be coming out soon, right?"

In the past few years, the matrix has always started in the middle of the year to determine the specific shooting and release schedule for the next year, which is a well-known thing throughout Hollywood.

"Hmm... Rest assured, if there is a suitable role, Buddy will consider your George Agency as soon as possible. ”

"Hehe, of course I believe that. But seeing that the matrix is developing so prosperously, I also have some ideas. ”

Guo Shouyun raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "What, you also want to invest in film and television production?"

"Maybe it's possible in the future, but now I'm more focused on artist management. George Roosevelt shrugged.

"Are you planning to merge?"

Guo Shouyun quickly came back to his senses.

"Hmm!"

Seeing him nodding, Guo Shouyun was also interested.

"Tell me about your goals!"

"What do you think of Endeavour Elite Agency?"

“Endeavor？”

"That's right!"

"Looks like you have a lot of appetite!"

There are so many agencies in Hollywood, even more than Santa Monica's Leather Bag Film Company. But the real Hollywood giants are still those few.

The three agencies of CAA, ICM, and MA are undoubtedly the top players in Hollywood. They hold Hollywood's top stars and resources in their hands. It can be regarded as the top three giants in the Hollywood agency industry today.

MA William Morris is Hollywood's oldest agency, although it has been hit hard by the CAA, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, such as Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Natalie Portman and other veteran stars are its clients, which shows that the strength is huge.

Needless to say, CAA Innovative Artist Agency, the No. 1 agency in Hollywood today, has an operating profit of nearly hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and has single-handedly overturned the king of MA. Steven Spielberg, Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey are among its clients. Of Hollywood's 25 highest-grossing films of all time, 16 were directed by CAA clients.

ICM International Innovation Management is also a strong company that should not be underestimated. These three are the only ten percent brokerage firms in Hollywood, meaning that they dare to charge ten percent of their clients' remuneration. From this point, we can see the strength of the three companies. The well-known Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts both belong to ICM.

The big three are followed by four emerging brokerages: UTA, ITA, AMG and Endeavor. UTA, by contrast, is an emerging product of the merger of two medium-sized companies that are the pioneers of the independent film sector. However, because of the harassment incident, UTA is still in a lot of trouble, and it is far from the light of the three giants like in later generations. However, with the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the rise of John Niedepp, UTA's development is booming.

ITA, on the other hand, is more focused on the television and music departments. As for AMG, it may not have a good reputation, but no one dares to underestimate it, because its manager is called Michael Ovitz. His bad experience at Disney brought him back into the entertainment brokerage market, and his influence is still not small.

Endeavor, the youngest of Endeavor elite brokerage firms, was founded in 1995, but now it has entered a period of rapid development. In addition to ICM, it has a very good relationship with several other brokerage companies and is rich in resources.

Across Hollywood, these economic companies are in the first echelon in terms of size and influence. But George Roosevelt's economic company should not be underestimated. Relying on the relationship between Guo Shouyun and the matrix, the three Chinese directors Ang Lee, Wen Ziren, and Lin Yibin, as well as Mark Farouge who played the Hulk, Tobey Maguire who played Spider-Man, and some new stars who came out with matrix movies, are all under George Economics.

Today, despite its short history, it is the fastest-growing of all economic companies in Hollywood. Although the first half of 2003 has not yet ended, the revenue of George Artist Economic Company has exceeded 40 million. By the end of the year, there is also great hope for a $100 million impact.

After a brief consideration, Guo Shouyun continued: "Endeavor is indeed a good target. … How much money do you have on board?"

"$180 million!"

"Cash?"

George Roosevelt shook his head, "I'm not as rich as you. $80 million in cash, plus 35% of the company's stock. ”

The total assets of George Economics are between 80 million ~ 100 million US dollars, but considering the premium factor, a 15% increase is not excessive. So, the way of $80 million + 35% of the new company's stock is a rational number.

"You put more than $250 million in Thunder, and the acquisition of Endeavor is enough. ”

"The Thunder's $250 million is all my liquidity, and I don't want to put it all on George Economics. If things don't go well, I have at least one way out. ”

"Looks like you don't have enough confidence in our matrix?"

"How is that possible? Of all the Hollywood companies, I'm most optimistic about the future of the matrix. But you also know that it's safe to spread your investments. It's not about the matrix, it's about the future of my personal assets. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Since you have made up your mind and negotiated the conditions with Endeavor, what are you going to discuss with me?"

"I want you to invest in my new company!" affirmed George Roosevelt.

"I invest?"

"That's right. ”

"George, you should know that there are antitrust laws in the United States. ”

"Of course I know that. However, you can buy up to 10% of George Economics in your own name with Wendy's own name. I guess that shouldn't be a violation of the federal bill. ”

George Roosevelt's eyes sparkled.

Glancing at him, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "It seems that you are planning to completely tie the matrix to the George Company." ”

"Hehe, it should be our George Company that is tied to your matrix. After all, you are our financiers. After a pause, "Also, if Wendy knew that you invested in her name, I'm sure she would be very impressed." ”

Guo Shouyun smiled, "I didn't expect you, who are brothers, to have the heart to plan for her." … Don't worry, don't say I'm not going to abandon Wendy. Taking a step back, even if we separate in the future, I won't really let her out of the house. ”

"I believe in your promise. But I want you to be together all the time. ”

"I hope so... So, what was your decision?"

Facing George Roosevelt's concerned eyes, after a brief consideration, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"I'm going to invest $15 million in Wendy's name. ”

"No more? I've set aside 10 percent of the new company for you. ”

"No need. 15 million is just right. ”

The returns on investing in George Economics are too low, far less than the stock market or real estate. If it weren't for the fact that George is brother-in-law, Guo Shouyun would not have been too lazy to invest so much money.

"Okay!"

Seeing that his attitude was positive, although he felt that he was still much less away from his goal, George Roosevelt still nodded and agreed.

Moreover, $15 million can get about 5% of the equity of the new company, which is enough for George Roosevelt, who intends to use Guo Shouyun, a symbolic shareholder, to raise the value and attractiveness of George Company.

"When can I sign a contract?"

"Whatever you want, just give me the contract when you want to sign it. ”

"Bruce, or you're generous. Then the matter is settled. ”

"Hmm!"

After Guo Shouyun nodded, George Roosevelt motioned for Matthew to stop. His main purpose was achieved, and it was time to separate from Guo Shouyun.
