The first film that Yin Jun chose for Sophie Marceau is a work that is very suitable for her.

《Mean Girls》。

Translated into Chinese, there is a very expressive name.

"Mean Girl".

This campus comedy film, which has set off a wave of youth around the world, is lighthearted and cheerful, and the global box office has exceeded 130 million US dollars.

Its videotape revenue is even better, bringing Paramount more than $30 million in profits.

With this tape alone, Paramount has already paid for itself.

Because the income is very good, Paramount immediately arranged "Mean Girls 2" again, but after losing the previous four heroines with their own characteristics, the box office and response of "Mean Girls 2" were not good.

The original first heroine was Lindsay Lohan from Disney's Mickey Mouse Club.

The remaining three heroines are also tough, Rachel McAdams, Liz Capan, and Amanda.

Interestingly, the next three are all famous acting schools in the future, but only the first heroine, Lindsay Lohan, is getting worse and worse, and there are almost no works.

The success of "Mean Girl" is definitely not only because of the heroine's good performance, but also because the other girls in it have various charms that are not inferior to the heroine.

Therefore, Yin Jun not only wants Sophie Marceau to play the first heroine, but also has to find a few suitable opponents for her.

At this point, the teenager does not have to do it himself, and leaves it to the producer and director who is responsible for the production of the company.

They all know the relationship between Yin Jun and Sophie Marceau, and they will definitely not slack off.

All companies, as long as it is ordered by the boss, generally have good execution ability.

For example, on the second day of the Oscars, Yin Jun invited Goldman Sachs' Claudi to negotiate the acquisition of "Vanity Fair" magazine, and in less than five days, he received a positive reply.

Vanity Fair belongs to the most famous old magazine group in the United States, Condrast, and it was also in the 30s.

It's just that because of the economic depression that followed, "Vanity Fair" was suspended for decades, and the year before last it slowly began to republish, but the effect was not good.

In the past two years, Vanity Fair has not lived up to expectations, much to the disappointment of Condrast's headquarters.

Suddenly a super-rich man came and wanted to buy this not-so-prosperous magazine, and of course they were very happy.

Yes.

In the eyes of Americans, Yin Jun is a super-rich man.

Because according to the estimation of Wall Street in the United States, Yin Jun's total assets have now reached 4 billion US dollars.

This is still the actual assets after removing Yin Jun's $4.5 billion loan.

Ahem......

In other words, Wall Street is also powerful, Yin Jun originally had only $3 billion in debt left in August last year, but in the later bottom-buying process, they found out that he had borrowed $1 billion from Sumitomo Bank and $500 million from HSBC.

Because Kirin Group is not a listed company, there is no way to accurately estimate Yin Jun's assets, but Forbes still gives Yin Jun a rough ranking of assets.

They valued Kylin Culture at $4 billion, and the richest in the Kirin Group is naturally the copyright of a series of comics under "Kylin Weekly".

"Among them, there are already treasures like Transformers and Saint Seiya, and who knows if there won't be a third?" - this is the best compliment to Kirin Weekly.

In second place is the North American branch.

Out of high regard for its own domestic company, the North American branch has a total of wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Disney, United Arts Film, Digital Field, IMAX, and Silicon Map Company, as well as shares in MTV TV Channel, Microsoft, Nike and other companies, so the valuation has reached 3 billion US dollars.

The remaining assets of Yin Jun, including factories in mainland China, were valued at a total of $1.5 billion.

Converted, it is exactly $4 billion in net assets.

When Americans look at a person's wealth and status, they definitely look not only at money, but also at the quality of his assets.

Coincidentally, among the world's three major rating agencies, the evaluation given to Kirin Group is AAA, which belongs to "companies that encourage investment in it".

This is quite optimistic about the future of Kirin Group.

Four years later, in 1987, Forbes released the world's richest list for the first time, and at that time there was the concept of the world's richest man.

But the U.S. financial system is very well-developed, and they have long had a well-known estimation ranking in the industry.

In this estimation system, Yin Jun ranks in the top 20.

The people in front of him, and the people behind him, the youngest one, was more than twice the age of Yin Jun.

As one of the most famous and long-established magazines in the United States, Condrast naturally knows Yin Jun's reputation and wealth.

He invited a senior partner of Goldman Sachs to ask, naturally he had a strong desire to buy, not just ask.

After some careful consideration, they offered a price of $30 million.

Colanti's advice to Yin Jun was, "This price is slightly higher than the market price, but it is still recommended to take it." ”

As Yin Jun's earliest partner in the United States, Claudi has helped Yin Jun run many businesses, including the now prosperous Disney and United Arts Film Company, which he helped buy.

Originally, at the beginning, Claudi was still thinking that if Yin Jun did not manage well, in less than two years, he would help Yin Jun sell these two companies and make another profit for himself.

But I didn't expect that after the two film companies arrived in the hands of Yin Jun, it was like playing chicken blood, constantly having good works and good programs, and the value soared all the way, and now it has become the number one giant in Hollywood, which is unbelievable.

Even Claudi herself definitely didn't expect it.

Looking at Yin Jun's continuous inquest in Asia's "Kirin Weekly" series, Colaudi has regarded Yin Jun as his best partner in the future, rather than a pawn to be used.

These elites who do finance have always known to find a way back for themselves.

Or find someone to rely on.

In case you are at the end of the mountain, someone can pull you instead of jumping directly from the Empire State Building.

The reason why Colanti looked for Yin Jun was not only because Yin Jun was a genius, but also because he knew Yin Jun's character.

This is a humble gentleman from the East, who has never said anything to his friends - the feat of throwing billions of dollars for the Heung Kong Commercial Bank last year is really not something ordinary people can do.

But there is also one point, you can't be false to him, you have to become a real friend, Yin Jun will help you so without hesitation.

Therefore, Colanti has long abandoned other ideas, and worked hard to help Yin Jun do things seriously, and strive to reach the point where Yin Jun is a best friend as soon as possible.

So this time for the acquisition of "Vanity Fair", Claudi personally came out and negotiated the price very neatly.

Of course, Yin Jun can't trust Claudi alone, and the Kirin Group also commissioned a consulting company to evaluate the price of "Vanity Fair", which is about 30 million US dollars.

The boy didn't know how "Vanity Fair" was sold to the Neuhouse family, a megamedia tycoon, because Neuhouse bought the entire Condrast Group for about $200 million.

Then, Shi Yi reinvested heavily in "Vanity Fair", bringing "Vanity Fair" to life, and finally became the most profitable single project under the Condé Nast Group.

However, when it comes to buying something, it's not about how much it's worth now, but how good its growth is.

For example, Apple's turnover has exceeded 600 million US dollars, accounting for 43% of the share of personal computers, which can be described as a monstrous momentum.

It is also highly sought after in the stock market, and the three major rating agencies have also given it an AAA rating, the same rating as the Kirin Group.

Kirin Group is a private group and will not accept investment from ordinary investors, but Apple is a listed company, of course, the threshold for investing in it is much lower.

Therefore, countless people went to buy Apple shares, and Apple's stock price continued to rise, becoming a hot star in the stock market.

But Yin Jun knew that this was a super pit.

With the rise of Microsoft, computers with a closed system like Apple will definitely be beaten to the ground, and there is no power to resist at all.

In the end, Qiao had no way to save it, so he could only leave Apple, which he founded.

As a result, Apple has ushered in a super trough for more than ten consecutive years, and even Michael Dell, a person who sells patchwork computers, dares to say that "the best thing for Apple to do now is to declare bankruptcy, sell the remaining assets, and pay the shareholders", which shows how miserable Apple was for a while.

If anyone goes to buy Apple stock now, just wait and cry!

I just don't know if they have that insistence, and they won't have a chance to solve it until after 2004, or even after 2007.

Think about the waste of the past 20 years, the shareholders who have bought Apple shares in the past few years, Yin Jun just wants to express his condolences to the future Chinese shareholders - it turns out that you American shareholders have also had this day!

"Vanity Fair" is different, it has a deep foundation, and through the resumption of the past two years, it has regained some user groups.

And Yin Jun knows how to revitalize "Vanity Fair" and become a magazine that can make one or two hundred million dollars every year, and even held the most famous "Oscar Night" party in the world entertainment industry, and also has the reputation of "the world's No. 1 life magazine".

Such a huge influence is more important than the money it can make.

A powerful entertainment group needs such a magazine.

Time Warner is a good example of this.

Time Warner, which owns Time Magazine, is the world's No. 1 media group, no matter how powerful Disney is, no matter how large the news corps is, it is inferior in terms of heritage and momentum.

"Vanity Fair" is certainly not as good as "Time Magazine", and the grades are different.

But Yin Jun is not going to be the world's No. 1 media group!

Being able to become one of the top three in the world is enough for Yin Jun to exert his influence.

So, after learning about Coletti's negotiations, the teenager neatly signed the purchase contract.

Just wait for the two companies to negotiate the details, and "Vanity Fair" is Yin Jun's unique property.

As for how to take care of "Vanity Fair", the teenager already had a complete idea in his heart.

Compared with Shiyi Newhouse in his previous life, Yin Jun didn't have to take any detours.

No one knows better than anyone that in this world, as long as you can find two people, Vanity Fair can become the world's number one entertainment and lifestyle magazine.

Even if Yin Jun is not from this fashion circle, he has heard of the names of these two people, and he is still very, very impressed by the second generation.

(Happy holidays to all of us!^_^)
