Chapter 101: Our MGM

Chi Mingzhe's lawyer team has been in Las Vegas for four full days, and the old Kirk's lawyers are fighting against each other, Chi Mingzhe hopes to acquire MGM-Luen Mei Entertainment Company in addition to MGM Pictures, as well as Emperor International Cinemas, the old Kirk only wants to sell MGM Pictures, and even wants to pinch the film library resources in his own hands, Chi Mingzhe is resolutely disagreeable, and asks MGM's film library resources and film companies to be bundled and sold.

Just kidding, Chi Mingzhe just wanted to buy the film company because he liked MGM's library resources, so the two sides started a war of words, and after a few days, Chi Mingzhe finally got angry and threatened to spend a huge amount of money to buy all the MGM Group's properties as a whole, at this time the old Kirk was a little panicked, he knew some about Chi Mingzhe's financial resources, so the old guy compromised, but this also made MGM Pictures sell for $4 billion, which includes all the copyrights of more than 4,000 movies and more than 10,000 TV series in the library。

In fact, before this, Japan's Sony Investment Group had plans to acquire MGM Pictures, and wanted to use the acquisition to become a "new upstart" in the global private independent animation, television and home entertainment industry. It's just that Kirk Corkerian didn't have a clear answer at that time, mainly because the offer was too low, and its fundamental purpose was just to come to MGM Films, and the old Kirk knew that he pretended to be deaf and dumb and had to let Sony Investment Group temporarily cover up, and now the news that Chi Mingzhe will acquire MGM Pictures made them unwilling to get up, so Sony, including the private investment fund TexasPacific Group and ProvidenceEquityPartners and the world's largest cable TV system Comcast, used the media to create wind and rain, while making a small report to the U.S. Department of Commerce, suggesting that there was insider trading in this acquisition, when Chi Mingzhe received the news, he couldn't help but sell the companies led by Sony Corp. Despicable and shameless, and also made him quite dissatisfied with Kirk Corkrian, he believed that the news must have been released by this old guy, fortunately, the two parties had already had an agreement, otherwise it would really be a chicken and egg fight.

The U.S. Department of Commerce acted quickly and has sent an investigation team to intervene in the whole process of the acquisition, and Chi Mingzhe is not to be outdone by spending money to buy some heavyweight media to build momentum for himself, so the entire press circle in the United States has been lively for a long time, and the two sides have come and gone without giving in to each other, and even the South Korean media in Asia are also reporting on this matter, of course, most of them are supporting. Ji Mingzhe spent $80 million to buy the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post and other media for their saddle before and after the horse, and even hinted that there is another heavy reward after the fact, while there is money to earn and the increase in newspaper sales, the two sides hit it off, the bought media is laughing, only Chi Mingzhe is very unhappy, feeling that the United States does not have its own traditional media resources in hand, it is really weak, but now is not the time for his own large-scale acquisition, the funds in his hands have all been invested in the oil futures market, and now he can not withdraw back, he is not willing to withdraw the funds, this is a plan that has been planned for a long time, and now because some of the unhappiness to give up the plan to kill him will not do。

"Wait, miscellaneous people, when Lao Tzu's funds are returned at the beginning of 03, you will be good-looking. Chi Mingzhe looked at the information in his hand and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, in addition to Sony, there is another company that makes him covet, that is, Comcast TV (Comcast), a famous cable TV operator in the United States, also joined the action against him this time, which made him angry and excited, and there was a good excuse to buy this company later.

He angrily snuffed out the cigar in his hand, then grabbed his coat and rushed to the airport to fly to Washington.

He decided to have dinner in Washington tonight, and invited our beloved President George W. Bush to dinner with him, and Chi Mingzhe couldn't help but give 10,000 likes to his plan for joining the Carlisle Group as a director.

No matter how strong Sony's power is, at least they will never be able to touch the US defense industry, and the Carlisle military industrial group that Chi Mingzhe joined is beyond the reach of Sony and these Japanese on the network, and the Americans are also very wary of them; in Asia, the Americans have tied the two vicious dogs of Japan and South Korea to a chain, that is, they use and check and balance each other, and they are especially wary and concerned about Japan, which can be seen from the old nose effort that Sony spent on acquiring Columbia Pictures at the beginning, and now Chi Mingzhe feels that as long as he has a good relationship with the Bush family in the past few years, then his career and industry in the United States will rest easy。 Besides, next year's funds in their hands will be on a large level, so what else is there to worry about.

"Mr. William, long time no see, how are you doing?"

"Not bad, Mr. President, please be seated."

In the villa of an extremely private club, George W. Bush and Chi Mingzhe met, and then sat down at the table together, pushing cups and changing lamps.

"I already know about you, tomorrow! I'll have someone call the Ministry of Commerce and ask them to withdraw the investigation team, I guess it's just a normal business acquisition, isn't it?"

Chi Mingzhe nodded happily when he heard this, while Bush Jr. picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

"Hmm...... The taste is so good, Romanée Conti's red wine is really worthy of its reputation. George W. Bush put down his glass and looked intoxicated.

"If you like it, Mr. President. Ji Mingzhe smiled.

"Call me George, Mr. William! We're old friends. ”

"Yes, Mr. George, as an old friend, I have prepared two cases of Romanée Conti, please take them back and taste them later. Chi Mingzhe is already familiar with spending money, and he got four cases of Romanée Conti red wine from this club in advance, which cost a lot of money, and it is not easy to get it, and he is a member of this club, and he is generous enough to get these wines.

"Thank you!

Before parting, Chi Mingzhe slipped a check into the pocket of George W. Bush's suit jacket, and he did not think that two cases of red wine would send away George W. Bush, a president who lived for money.

"Mr. President, this Mr. William has invested a lot of $60 billion in the oil futures market, which is quite bold. ”

In George W. Bush's car, his assistant Paul broke the silence in the car, turned around and said with a smile that this was a private gathering, so Bush Jr. did not ride in his own special presidential car, and he, his bodyguards and aides took three Chevrolet heavy-duty SUVs and galloped on the highway back to the White House.

"Really?"

George W. Bush was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Chi Mingzhe had just felt extremely sorry that he could not attend the birthday party on July 6, and stuffed the check into his pocket as a late birthday gift.

"He's really too rich, which makes people envious, and I think this rich Mr. William will be the backbone of our camp, won't he?" Bush Jr. pinched the $5 million check in his hand and turned his head to look out the window at the hazy night.

"Yes, Mr. President!" Paul reverted to silence.

"Paul, tell the FBI and the CIA tomorrow, Mr. William is our friend, there is no need to deliberately investigate anything in the future, he is an American, understand?" Bush Jr. said in a low voice, retracting his gaze from the car.

Chi Mingzhe would be very happy if he heard the news, he had been worried that what he had done before would be found out by the CIA, and now he has been constantly stuffing money with Bush Jr., and his goal has been achieved, and he can finally put his mind at ease.

"I see, Mr. President. Paul smiled inexplicably at the corner of his mouth and put his hand in his jacket pocket, which contained a check for $300,000. This was quietly handed to him by Chi Mingzhe's entourage in front of him, and he also had some connections with Chi Mingzhe, and he was very happy to associate with this generous rich man.

Chi Mingzhe came to New York the next day, and Martin and Shulk met, the three of them were in the conference room of the investment company, muttered for 2 hours, and had lunch together after coming out, during the meal, he saw Martin has been eyebrow-raising with his new female secretary who was sitting with him, and couldn't help but carefully look at this unusually plump woman, who looks very good, especially the fat ass also made Chi Mingzhe swallow and spit quietly, the figure of the Yanma is really not comparable to that of Asian women, but the skin is very rough, and this woman has some freckles on her face, even from her neckline is very lowSeeing that the plump chest that was almost exploding was also covered with freckles, he suddenly missed his women in Asia very much, and wondered if he would wait for this matter to be over, and then set off to return to Korea.

Ji Mingzhe said goodbye to Martin and they returned to Los Angeles, where he first went to Skyrim Records and Williams to finish the "yes" that he used to make the theme song for the movie "The Hangover", and then worked with Lee Yong-sik to edit the movie, and he handed over the negotiations with MGM to Perry.

"William! The investigation team has withdrawn, and only the question of price remains. ”

"Perry, push the price down a little more, that old bastard makes me uncomfortable. ”

"I see, so do I. ”

Perry, who was involved in the negotiation in Las Vegas, called Chi Mingzhe to report the progress, and Chi Mingzhe was very unhappy with the old Kirk's private actions, so he asked Perry to press the price again, so as to vent his bad anger.

Hanging up the phone, Chi Mingzhe drove back to his home in Malibu, he was a little tired and wanted to go to bed to rest for a while, but when he woke up, he found that Xiujing didn't know when to run to his house, and was still asleep beside him, looking at the sleeping girl, Chi Mingzhe couldn't help but lean over and peck on her thin lips, covered her with a quilt, and was just about to look up and get up when the girl hugged her neck.

"William, you're awake!" Xiujing's voice was a little hoarse.

"What's wrong with you, Xiujing, why is your voice a little hoarse?" Ji Mingzhe said with concern.

"I'm a little uncomfortable today, my sister and they are not there, and I don't want to stay alone in the hotel, and I didn't answer your phone call in front of me, so I came to you. Xiujing's voice was glutinous.

Chi Mingzhe held her in his arms with some distress, picked up the mobile phone at the bedside and found that it was turned off when the power was out, so he threw down the phone casually, lowered his head and gently rubbed her little face with his cheek.

"Why are you so careless? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, William, I'll get some sleep. You just sleep with me in your arms. After speaking, Xiujing nestled in Ji Mingzhe's arms and closed her eyes.

Ji Mingzhe leaned on the head of the bed, motionless, holding Zheng Xiujing in his arms, with a smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, and soon fell asleep.

At the end of July, Chi Mingzhe's plan to acquire MGM Pictures was finally completed, including MGM-Luen Mei Entertainment and Emperor International Cinemas, which cost a total of $4.6 billion.

On August 1, the two sides signed an acquisition contract in Las Vegas, Chi Mingzhe personally participated, and then held a press conference at the MGM Hotel, making a brief report on the acquisition, and then Chi Mingzhe came to the stage to give a speech, in front of the media to send out a bold statement to take MGM Pictures back to the peak, which caused a huge sensation in the media, and the next day's reports were overwhelming, Chi Mingzhe received a lot of congratulatory calls and text messages that day, many of which he didn't know before, Leonardo called to ask him for a treat, and Ji Mingzhe readily agreed. On this weekend, Chi Mingzhe held a grand celebration banquet in his own Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, everyone in the company participated, Hollywood stars from all walks of life also gathered together, and some big directors who had communicated with Chi Mingzhe were also present, as for other major Hollywood film companies or the person in charge or sent representatives to participate in the celebration, in their opinion, the matter has been settled, and it will pass, but they didn't expect Chi Mingzhe to hate those who trouble him, and leave it for revenge one by one in the future.

"MGM has finally arrived, Perry, you have a lot of credit, do you have the confidence to take it well. ”

In the corner of the banquet hall, Ji Mingzhe finally got out of a group of substars, and talked to Perry in a whisper.

"I'll try, William!"

"That's good!I believe you!come!Cheers!" Ji Mingzhe raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Cheers, William, for your MGM!" Perry said solemnly, holding up his glass.

"No! for our MGM!" Chi corrected.

Cheers ............

It's not good yet, it's only one chapter.
