The Sun Valley Conference was very widespread.

More than 300 business elites from across the United States participated.

Why 300 people, because the conference hall in Sun Valley can only accommodate these people at most.

Usually, Bill Gates attends such gatherings for a maximum of one day. But at the Sun Valley meeting, Bill Gates will stay here for 5 days with his wife and children.

As Michael Eisner puts it, "The Sun Valley Conference is both a summer camp and an academic exam." ”

The host, Herb Allen, is a true gentleman, always speaking eloquently and listening attentively. Such people are often easily respected by others.

"As a company with a long history, the biggest problem is bureaucracy. When communicating with Donn, Heb Allen did not mind publicly revealing some shortcomings in Allen's company, "After I took over the company, I eliminated all the large and small committees in the company. Speaking of which, there's also your factor. ”

"Me?"

Don was a little surprised.

It's hard to tell whether the other party is deliberately complimenting or not.

Heb Allen laughed: "At present, Allen only has two committees left, the Fire Prevention Committee and the Sexual Harassment Committee. Needless to say, the Fire Prevention Committee is determined by the geographical location of Sun Valley. Sexual harassment...... In the early years, this concept did not exist, at least not on the platform. Because of your push, the trend of feminism is getting stronger and stronger. This is certainly a good thing, and I would love to see more protection for women's rights. ”

Don embarrassed.

I can't tell how much truth there is in the other party's words.

However, such a way of speaking in the spring breeze and rain really makes people feel comfortable.

Hollywood's bigwigs are either domineering, flattering, or old-fashioned...... In short, the attitude of deliberate "performance" is strong.

Herb Allen was able to gather the talents of the crowd and make the Sun Valley meeting of the business alliance, which is really a bit approachable.

Moreover, he is humble enough: "My role in Allen's company is to monitor the company not to have a third committee to prevent the company from becoming too big. ”

"Becoming too big?" Don humbly asked, "Shouldn't it?"

Heb Allen said, "New Universal is about products, we are about customer relationships. If you're not a small company, you can't really focus on customer relationships. I don't think there's a single company on Wall Street that has ever improved its business performance by scale, Morgan Stanley is a great little company, and Salomon is a great little company. ”

Donn smiled: "It's better for Wall Street companies to be bigger and stronger." If a large company makes a mistake, the regulator will at most punish them, and after a while, they can continue to operate. If it is a small company, I am afraid that it will go bankrupt directly. ”

Herb Allen also showed a good sense of humor, "Maybe that's why those companies on Wall Street are getting bigger." ”

For Don, the whole process of this trip to Sun Valley seems to be a portrayal of his conversation with Heb Allen.

He didn't make any practical moves, and he relied on Google to get News Corp. done.

However, it has a very important significance.

In the past, Tang En's main business circle was the media circle, the entertainment circle, and at most a fashion circle.

At this Sun Valley meeting, Don got to know a lot of people.

He knows at least 80 of the top 100 richest people in the United States!

There are oil tycoons, real estate tycoons, steel tycoons, super farmers, and many elites in the automobile industry, aerospace industry, military industry, beverage industry, navigation industry and many other industries.

Every successful person has the inevitable ingredients for their success.

In each person, there are advantages that Don can learn.

He's still young, and he still has a long way to go.

He still needs to grow enough.

Of course, this is without affecting the current situation of his basic life in Hollywood.

……

Don is rich!

More precisely, his cash flow is full again!

After returning from Sun Valley, he is working hard to complete a major event that New Global Group is currently paying close attention to - dividends!

A full $5 billion in dividends!

Now, New Globe has a total of $12 billion on its books.

This is a significant increase from the $2.5 billion in liquidity at the beginning of 2004.

Of course, debt has also risen further.

At this time last year, New Globe's debt was $9 billion.

The debt is now ...... It's $16 billion!

For a large company like New Globe, the increase in debt is what makes all parties happy.

Of course, if there is too much debt, or even insolvency, it is uncomfortable for all parties.

New Globe Group is now valued at $120 billion in the market, to say the least, and its assets can reach $80 billion. The debt ratio is very low, and the business is in good health.

Dividends under such conditions will not be subject to any external doubts and internal pressures, and can be arranged at will.

Now, New Global's total share capital has reached 1 billion shares, and Tang holds 8.3 billion shares personally.

With this $5 billion dividend, Donn alone can get $41.5 billion.

Of that amount, $21.5 billion was retained in Dune Capital, with $200 million deducted from taxes.

The US$2 billion will be retained in the overseas division of Dunn Capital, which is tax-exempt and will be used mainly for overseas investments in the future. If Liverpool are to win the Champions League this year, Done will inevitably spend money on building a new modern football stadium.

Next, there is the biggest event of the year in Hollywood - the Oscars.

Donn was once again invited by the Oscar organizing committee to take the stage as a guest of honor. As for what awards will be awarded, he can choose at will, and the organizing committee can make other arrangements according to his choice.

Don chose to refuse.

With his current status, there is really no need to expose himself too much to the spotlight.

In previous years, he still needed to rely on other means and platforms like Oscar to become famous.

Not anymore.

The name "Donn Walker" itself represents fame and represents the brand.

However, Don will refuse the Oscars, and some people will fart and come to participate even if they fly over thousands of mountains and rivers.

This is the Oscars!

Even if it is not an award, but an award, it is a great honor to participate once.

"Brother Tang, shall I invite you to dinner in the evening?" Miss Zhang on the phone was very excited.

"Not available. ”

Donn unceremoniously refused.

"Brother Tang~~~"

Miss Zhang was coquettish.

Tang En frowned and reprimanded: "If you have something to say, say it well!"

Miss Zhang pouted and said aggrievedly: "It's "Mulan", I feel ...... I feel like there's a problem with the casting, and I want to tell you about the situation over there......"

The Sino-US joint venture film "Mulan" passed the review of the Chinese side in December last year and was officially approved.

The production cost is 100 million US dollars, and it is claimed that it is 1.5 billion US dollars.

Among them, a total of 7 film companies from the Chinese side participated in the investment, with a total amount of 50 million US dollars. The Hong Kong side has two film companies involved in the investment, with a total amount of 30 million US dollars. There are two film companies in the United States that are involved in the investment, namely the main producer Rose Pictures, and the platter investment of Legendary Pictures, each contributing $10 million.

After the distribution of benefits, the next thing is the casting of the actors.

Targeted?
