Chapter 53: Grief
"Xiujing! Oba just wanted to call you! I didn't expect you to call and start class?"
"Ohba, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to rest after calling you, and I haven't had jet lag yet...... Have a good lesson, you know, and wait for Oba to come back and bring you a present. Be obedient......" Ji Mingzhe lay on the bed, feeling that his eyelids began to heavily.
"Well, I see, Oba have a good rest!
"Hang up......"
Putting the phone still at the head of the bed, he turned over and fell asleep for a while.
The next day, Aki Chi and Jason Statham met at Skyrim Films, and the two exchanged views on the film's script.
"William, I've basically figured out the script, and I'm waiting to join the crew. With his legs crossed, Jason leaned back on the couch and watched Ji Mingzhe write and draw.
"Don't worry, Jason, when the people from South Korea arrive, the crew will be formed soon, be a little patient, okay?"
"Okay! I'm going to the gym, so I won't bother you. Jason Statham left the office, and Perry came in.
"Perry, I was just about to call you, just right! sit down...... I've thought about what you said yesterday, and if MGM is really going to collapse, I think I'll raise money to take it down. ”
"Really, William, it's not a small amount, yesterday I was too serious to think about my feelings. Perry looked at Ji Mingzhe seriously.
Putting down the pen, Ji Mingzhe crossed his hands and walked across from Perry.
"Actually, if we can buy MGM, it will be a good thing for us, man...... And what's the value of it? The film library and copyrights and the like are also very important to me, but it will take time, and I think at the end of the year, you go to MGM to find acquaintances, find out the details, and we will discuss in detail. ”
"I really thank you! That's where I struggled when I was young, and although I finally chose to leave with a lot of people who loved it, but my feelings for it are never forgotten, that damn Cork Kirkrian's acquisition of MGM was only for its real estate project, and he didn't hesitate to close MGM's distribution department, and many people had to leave with regret, I think if you can buy it down, it will make those of us who were forced to leave happy, as long as MGM is out of the hands of Coke Kirkrian, a gambler。 ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, you continue to keep in touch with those old relationships, and it will be much easier after the end of the year. ”
After Perry left, Chi Mingzhe carefully considered that since there were no cable TV channels, TV networks or broadband channels, and no media group to back him, an independent production company like MGM would naturally be controlled by others everywhere, so Chi Mingzhe decided to see that if he could buy another American TV station, it would bring MGM a help that could not be ignored.
The network already has YouTube, and has developed very well, under his unremitting investment, the scale is much larger than the previous life, some time ago Google actually proposed an acquisition intention, the price was reported to 1 billion US dollars, but Chi Mingzhe Tong Guò YouTube's chief executive Myron refused, if the funds allow Chi Mingzhe to want to reverse the acquisition of Google, this Google has just experienced the destruction of the Internet bubble value is not as astronomical as in later generations, Naver Chi Mingzhe has asked Lin Chengwen of Skyline Media to draw up a plan, ready to enter the European and American markets, of course, Chinese mainland Chi Mingzhe will not ignore, preparations have already begun.
At this time, a cargo ship was sailed out of the port of Hallim on Jeju Island, the destination was Chile in South America, the ship was a freighter owned by an ocean freight company in Jeju Island, and all the crew members of the bulk carrier with a full load displacement of 26,000 tons were replaced by "airborne troops", and the captain, The first mate and others were given gag orders, and Jin Zaiyong and Zheng Zexun checked back and forth the equipment brought on board, all kinds of detection instruments, diving tools, and two large air-cushion landing craft fixed on the deck, the ship will dock at the port of Antofagasta, Chile, and then Jin Zaiyong and others will transfer to an old fishing boat of more than 3,000 tons purchased in advance to the Juan Fernández Islands. All ground operatives, numbering more than 60 people, will be divided into three groups to search the island.
At Los Angeles Airport, Hwang Jung-min, Cheon Ho-jin, Lee Yong-sik and Cho Sang-geun had already stepped off the plane, and this time they were not able to travel with Ji Myung-cheol because they were busy promoting movies in South Korea, but the company arranged for them to be in Asiana Airlines' first class, which made them happy. It was the first time for them to come to the United States, and it was a surprise to see foreigners with high noses and deep eyes. However, according to Chi Mingzhe, Hollywood will be the norm in the future, and you must be psychologically prepared to be a trapeze.
"Ahh
"Brother, I don't see if there are any beautiful women around, ah...... This is America! Great America ......."
"Hehe......!"
The surrounding Li Yongzhi and Zhao Shanggen all shook their heads with a smile, looking at Huang Zhengmin and sighing.
"...... here"
When everyone left the hall, they saw Ji Mingzhe standing on the edge of a Chevrolet business car and waving at them.
"Mingzhe, why did you come here in person?"
"Idle is idle, let's get in the car!"
"It's a pity! Mingzhe! I was busy with movie promotion, so I didn't catch your private jet!" Huang Zhengmin felt a little regretful.
"Haha...... There are many opportunities, Brother Zhengmin!"
Chi Mingzhe took them to a villa hotel not far from his mansion in Malibu Beach, which is also Chi Mingzhe's property, which has just been built. After he bought his own house, he took a piece of land when it was not very popular, and then began to build a hotel, a full 40 villas of different shapes, scattered along the coastline, with a wide view and unique scenery, and now Park Jin-young and Kim Hee-cheol's nine young men are also arranged to live here.
"Mingzhe! It's really nice here! The air is so fresh! The rent isn't cheap!" Huang Zhengmin looked at Yiqiqi in front of him and admired.
"It's all the company's property, what kind of rent do you want? Just live there! In the future, if you bring your family to Los Angeles for a tour, you will all live there, and if you don't charge money, it will be regarded as a company welfare. Ji Mingzhe looked at everyone and said.
"Mingzhe! I really envy and admire you! You are so capable of earning a huge family business at a young age, which makes us people ashamed!" Qian Haozhen looked at Chi Mingzhe and sighed.
"Where! Brother Hao Zhen, don't say that, life is not easy, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I'm just trying to make a living. Ji Mingzhe said with a smile.
Everyone was amazed by Chi Mingzhe's achievements, but he was very calm, if it wasn't for the memory of his previous life, where could he have this career, his calm and humble let everyone look up to him, not arrogant or impatient.
In the evening, Ji Mingzhe brought Park Jin-young and Huang Zhengmin and his gang together and held a barbecue party on the beach to wash the dust of those who had just arrived in the United States. A group of people were chatting on Malibu Beach, so happy! Chi Mingzhe told everyone about his ambitions and ideals for Hollywood through drinking, and everyone was infected by him.
"Ahh
"What? will...... Chairman, SBS Television?
Not only the nine young men, but even Park Jin-young and Hwang Jung-min were stunned, Mason had already contacted Ji Mingzhe and told him that there was no problem with the government, and the next step was to negotiate with the major shareholders of SBS, Ji Mingzhe had ordered Skyline Media Company to apply for a change to Skyline Media Group Company, which was fully responsible for the acquisition plan, and Citibank also sent a top expert group in asset appraisal at the request of Chi Mingzhe to contact his lawyers in South Korea and SBS shareholders. Chi Mingzhe is a super VIP customer of Citibank, this is a service that should be enjoyed, of course, the service fee has to be paid by himself.
SBS's two largest shareholders are Tairong Property Construction (30%) and Roselumi Boiler (13.2%), while Korea Investment Trust (UBS 51%, Hana Financial Holdings 49%) holds a 9.5% stake, a government public (Korea National Pension Management Corporation) holds a 6.5% stake and a 5.6% stake in Korea Mill. Ji Mingzhe plans to buy SBS wholly, so as long as the two largest shareholders are dealt with, the others are easy to solve, and he has prepared $1.5 billion for this.
"What's all the fuss, now the company is not short of money, we have to build all aspects of the platform, so that we will not be controlled by others, some things whether you want to or not, will eventually run into them, right?" Ji Mingzhe poured wine for everyone, stood up and raised a glass.
Everyone is happy to be part of such a powerful company.
"Here, cheers for the company to get stronger and stronger!"
"Cheers ......"
When he returned home, Chi Mingzhe changed his clothes and took out his mobile phone, only to find that there was no power, the mobile phone at this time is not like the smart phone in the future, it must be charged every day, and his Nokia mobile phone can be charged once for several days, so sometimes I don't know if there is no power. Plug in the power and turn on the phone, and after a while, I found that there were a lot of missed calls, and Xiuyan, Taeyeon, and the most common were Huang Meiying.
"Oba ...... Not!...... Hmm......"
As soon as I got through Huang Miying's phone, her crying was heard, there seemed to be a lot of people around, there was an accident at Mi-young's house, and the sisters felt sorry for her, Taeyeon, Xiuyeon, and Xiuying, and their bunch of girls were crying like something.
"Oba......! Something happened to Mi-young's family!" Su-yeon's voice came out of the phone, and her voice was a little sober.
"What's the matter, what's going on, I'm going to go to her house in two days to see!"
"Mi-young's mother passed away last night......"
"What?...... Her mom died, and her mom wasn't ......."
Ji Mingzhe just wanted to say that her mother was no longer there? After thinking about it, he realized that he had put an oolong, and in his memory, Huang Meiying's mother died of cancer when she was 13 years old, and he only saw her father, sister and brother when he visited her home several times, so he took it for granted that her mother had passed away, and it turned out that her mother was in the hospital, and it was inconvenient to ask about this kind of thing, so he misunderstood.
"Give the phone to Meiying and I'll have a few words with her. ”
"Meiying, Oba sent a plane to pick you up. You get ready, you're going early tomorrow morning, don't cry, and we'll talk about it later. ”
"Hmm...... Oba ...... Not!...... Hmm...... "She's still crying."
"Hey......" Chi Mingzhe had no choice but to tell Sù Xiuyan to comfort her more, and then called the crew members who were waiting for the maintenance of the plane in South Korea, telling Sù that they would fly to the United States again tomorrow, and telling Sù the truth about the two Bitch flight attendants, and asking them to take good care of Huang Meiying on the plane, and hung up the phone Chi Mingzhe was in a heavy mood, this is uncomfortable for anyone, and he was in pain when his father died, as for his mother...... Fuck it!
The next day, Ji Mingzhe notified Park Zhenying and Huang Zhengmin of a few of them, and several of them also expressed deep sympathy, and even the nine young men, a group of people in black went to Huang Meiying's house to express condolences on behalf of the company.
