"Mr. Wu, our current offer is already very low, I hope you can consider it, it is really very affordable, please believe me...... God will testify, I'm telling the truth, it's already a very worthwhile price......"

When Wu Xiang was in the United States, the one he saw the most was naturally John Boena, but the second place was Mr. Brown of Miramax Company, this guy has been in contact with Wu Xiang, in fact, he should be in the first place, because this guy is very sincere every time.

Sincerely promoting his company, he hoped that Wu Xiang would buy Miramax.

This matter, I mentioned it to Wu Xiang before, didn't Wu Xiang do his "Snowpiercer" at that time, and this film actually made Mira make a profit, but this is earned, but I can't stand other losses, so this Miramax still has to sell!

This decision, which is naturally made by Mira's parent company, Disney, is actually a very normal capital operation, which can be regarded as the stripping of non-performing assets.

Yes, Miramax is a non-performing asset, if we look at Disney's financial statements, then we will all see that Disney is very, very profitable, which is really true, but you must know that Disney, a giant company, is not only a film industry, he has amusement parks, TV stations, several TV stations, music...... Anyway, there are many, many of them, and their tentacles extend to almost every corner of the world, but the one that loses money is the movie!

That's right, that's it. Movies are a piece of the industry that it loses money on, and the better years are also to break even, and don't forget. Disney has acquired DreamWorks, so Mira's functions somewhat overlap with DreamWorks.

Mira's previous trait was surprisingly successful, and she could always find some films with small costs and big profits, and most of these films took the route of hunting. To be honest, this company really had the style of Lionsgate at the beginning, and its profitability was quite strong, otherwise Disney would not have invested in this company in the first place.

But it was the Weinstein brothers' time. But then these two guys ran away, and a lot of talented executives ran away, and this Mira immediately became a junk stock.

this company. Now it's really a bad asset, so it's a very good option to sell it, and the company is not without value. At least there are many, many movie rights.

So. Will Wu Xiang buy it? He said as if he was not bad for money.

"I said old friend, what you said about this, I still know very well, you Miramax have already given great sincerity, this is very good, I understand, I understand, I really understand......"

To buy or not to buy?

"Mr. Wu. Dear Mr. Wu, just give me a happy word. I know what you Chinese think, and many things are always not so direct, but the friendship between the two of us, you can tell me clearly. ”

I have to say that Brown is still very concerned about selling his company, especially he has also learned a lot of Chinese habits so that he can give Wu Xiang better communication and establish better friendship.

But well, business is still business.

"Actually, I've heard before, isn't that George Clooney very interested in buying your company?" Wu Xiang This guy is very bad, he actually nodded Brown like this.

"That ......" Brown couldn't handle it.

Before, yes, George Clooney wanted to buy it, but at that time, Mira didn't make a fortune from the release of "Snowpiercer", so Mila and Disney executives felt that this Mira company still had a certain future.

Therefore, they were arrogant, and the offer to Clooney was raised, not much, that is, more than 100 million US dollars.

Let's put it this way, under the system of modern traditional large enterprises, basically this is how to engage in administration, that is, I have a profit here, then on the top, you must blow it well, of course, the details of this are mastered by yourself, but everyone does this, this can realize the ability of professional managers, especially the professional managers of European and American companies, because they are not given much time, and the big bosses above it all depend on your performance.

What? I can make money after two years? That's absolutely not good, I'm about the same for two months!

Then you can only look at the immediate interests, so it is normal to blow like this, and such a blow will also make Mira's sale work in vain.

You're not fooling me? Add money? 100 million dollars is so easy to make? It's not a strong wind!

Besides, Clooney himself doesn't have much money, although he is definitely a successful person and a big boss among Hollywood stars, but this acquisition of Miramax is a move of more than a billion dollars, which he can never afford to play alone, and he has to listen to the boss above.

If this deal was done, then Mr. Brown would not have come to Mr. Wu, and now the situation is that Mira has lowered the price again, and it has dropped hundreds of millions of dollars, but sadly, Clooney has gone to invest in movies, and the money in his hand is gone.

This movie is "Allied Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was also released in China not long ago, and in the end it only had a box office of less than 30 million, which can be said to be so miserable that there are no friends!

Why is it so miserable?

In fact, this movie in Wu Xiang's memory doesn't seem to have won much box office, and we in China are more than 40 million RMB, but now, there is Wu Xiang's "Diary of Treasure Island", so there are 30 million left.

This is still relying on a large number of stars to pile up the box office, if there is no Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bill Mory, I am afraid that even 30 million can not be guaranteed.

And it's because of such a large number of stars, plus this is a World War II movie, which can be regarded as a war movie. Can the cost of this film be lower?

This movie is not only bad at the box office in China, but also bad at the global box office, just over 100 million US dollars. played such a big film, the result was so miserable, and the reputation of this movie was even worse, many fans complained, just saw a bunch of star faces, something else, that's a magic horse thing!

Uncle Clooney is losing money and is going to drop his pants. Then he naturally won't be able to buy Mira.

And now this kind of repetition of Mira, the price has been raised before, and now the price has been reduced. As long as you are a normal investor, you will feel that this company is boring, right?

As a result, no one is willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this film company.

Well, it's hundreds of millions now......

"Mr. Wu. Just tell me straight. How can you buy Miramax, and how low do you have to keep the price down?" Brown also saw that this Wu Xiang was definitely not a good guy, and Brown had also made a lot of preparations, and heard a lot of rumors that Chinese businessmen were doing business.

For example, in the past, there were Chinese businessmen who valued an American company and offered to buy it, but the price offered by the company was too expensive, and the Chinese businessman looked at it. Can't afford it, but still want to buy it. What to do?

Chinese businessmen bought a small company of the same type, very small, and then they copied the products of the company that they originally looked at, and the copycat things were very powerful, and the small company began to grab the market on a large scale, and immediately the original company was not good, and finally they cried and shouted for the Chinese businessmen to buy it.

It is said that the company originally asked for $1 billion at the beginning, and the final transaction price was less than 100 million RMB!

Of course, the rumors may be exaggerated, but now, doesn't this fall on him Brown?

"Oh, my old friend, it's a lot of money to talk about price. Wu Xiang laughed, and directly let Brown not find the north.

Obviously, Brown doesn't know if he doesn't talk about money.

Wu Xiang continued: "The price, in fact...... Of course, if you can go down a little more, then I'm glad you did. ”

This almost didn't squirt out of Brown's old blood in anger, and after talking for a long time, isn't it still money?

But Wu Xiang hadn't finished speaking, he continued with a smile: "What, in fact, I think it's too boring to just acquire a Miramax." Why don't you ask your superiors for another explanation, and why don't you sell me the entire Disney movie business? What do you think?"

"What?"

As soon as Wu Xiang said this, Brown was stupid at that time!

Disney's entire movie business?

Brown really wants to ask, do you Wu Xiang know the value of Disney's entire film business?

The word Disney, for us Chinese, is definitely from Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, but in fact, this is a media giant, absolutely powerful.

Although the film business is not a lot of words, but in 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm, that is, George Lucas, the director of Star Wars, a pioneer of modern film technology, and this acquisition is more than 4 billion US dollars!

Disney actually bought Marvel before, and then it was a dream factory that tore the skin and peeled off the shell, this is all money, a huge amount of transactions!

You Wu Xiang, but a director, yes, your kid is now the best director at the Oscar, but do you have such a behemoth that can withstand eating?!

However, Brown did not ask such a question, and he remembered something else.

"Mr. Wu, did you want to buy the New York Times not long ago?"

The New York Times: How did this come to New York again?

New York?this, this seems to be who's coming, Brother Biao, is he?

"Hey, hey......" Wu Xiang didn't say yes, nor did he say no...... (To be continued......)
