"Become an American citizen?!" Summer was stunned for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "This won't work." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although many Hong Kongers dream of immigrating to the United States, they have no plans to do so in the summer. Because he is proud of being a Chinese, he does not want to do such a thing of betraying his ancestors.

"Boss, why can't you be? Becoming an American citizen not only does not have a loss for you, but is very beneficial to you. Michelle was puzzled when she saw that Summer had refused.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, with the most prosperous economy, the broadest market, the most developed technology, and the most thriving culture...... I wonder how many people around the world are proud to immigrate to the United States.

AND A LOT OF THE INVESTMENTS IN THE SUMMER ARE ALSO IN THE UNITED STATES, MICROSOFT, ORACLE, ADOBE, INTEL, CISCO, QUALCOMM ...... The total value is now more than $2 billion.

He has such a huge asset in the United States, if he becomes an American citizen, he will be a real American billionaire. Not only can he enjoy all the benefits of the United States, but it will also be beneficial for his future investments.

Because the United States is also quite sensitive to the inflow of foreign capital, the "National Defense Production Act" promulgated in 1950 included the "Exxon-Florio National Security Act," which included some special restrictions and specific provisions on market access for foreign investment in investment projects involving national security and social public interests and in some relatively sensitive industries.

"I know, but I still don't want to be a U.S. citizen. Summer again resolutely refused.

He knows that there are indeed many benefits to becoming an American citizen, but he prefers to be an upright Chinese.

Chinese civilization has a long history of 5,000 years, and for most of its time, it was the world's largest power. Although it was once down, it is now catching up.

At the beginning of the new century, its economy will surpass Japan and become the world's second largest economic power. And in the foreseeable future, it will surpass the United States to become the world's number one power.

Although the United States has flourished for a time in the past 100 years, it has been in crisis, prosperous and declining. In the new century, it will gradually decline.

Although Xia is not an extreme angry youth, he is very identified with his Chinese identity and is unwilling to become a naturalized American and be a second devil.

And this time he bought a Hollywood studio, he was more willing to be a conqueror as a Chinese. And don't want to become an American citizen and become an assimilated person.

Furthermore, nationality is the identification of identity. Summer has been reborn through and has changed its identity once. If he changes his nationality now, he really doesn't know who he is.

"Boss, I don't understand. Michelle frowned, puzzled, and couldn't understand why Summer was so stubborn.

"Forget it, it's not clear. In short, I won't change my nationality, let them think of another way. Summer waved his hand.

Changing nationality is definitely not the only way to resolve the crisis. At that time, Sony, led by Morita Schoffo, did not change his nationality when he acquired Columbia Pictures, and Wang Lin's Wanda Group's acquisition of American cinemas and Legendary Pictures also did not change his nationality. So there must be something else.

"Oh well. Michelle nodded, "Boss, I'll let them make a plan as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm. Summer nodded.

……

At noon, Michelle arranged for people from McKinsey, Bain, Boston, and Blackstone to come and meet with Summer. Then, according to his requirements, they made a "Project Proposal", explaining their understanding of the project, consulting ideas, schedule, project budget, etc.

In fact, it would have been good to come to the first three, the three of them are the three most powerful management consulting companies in the United States, and there are many large customers such as the world's top 500 companies, which can fully meet the needs of summer. However, Summer still invited the Blackstone Group to come over, because he was very interested in the company and wanted to deal with them.

I met with three companies in succession, and I introduced my request in the summer. After listening to this, the three companies also expressed their interest in taking on this task, and then they all went back to prepare. He was leaving the United States in a week in the summer, and they had to come up with a plan before he left.

The last person to meet in the summer was the Blackstone Group.

"Boss, this is Mr. Peter Peterson, the president of the Blackstone Group. Michelle ushered an old man of about sixty into the room, "Mr. Peterson, this is our boss, Mr. Summer." ”

"Hello Mr. Xia, it's a pleasure to meet you. Peterson smiled and said "hello" in Mandarin, a little weird, but also sincere.

Summer smiled slightly, got up and shook Peterson's hand, "Hello Mr. Peterson, I'm glad to meet you too!"

The former secretary of commerce of the United States, who is equivalent to a first-class official in the mainland, is now serving himself, making him feel dizzy in the summer.

"Mr. Xia is really young and promising. Peterson looked at Summer, smiled and praised, "I've seen so many young people, but none are as capable as you, you're a genius!"

"Mr. Peterson is gracious. Summer smiled, "I admire you for resigning from your position as chairman and CEO of Lehman Brothers at the age of 60 and starting your own business." ”

By the time people reach the age of sixty, they are already old men and women, and they have long lost the mind to struggle. Every day, I play boxing, yo-yo-waning, playing cards, raising flowers, and feeding fish...... That's their whole life.

However, Peter Peterson is also 60 years old, but he does not accept old age at all, and retires from the company's high position, giving up the power and generous treatment in his hands, preferring to come out and start his own business. This veteran alone has the courage to be admired for his ambition for thousands of miles.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia. Peter Peterson smiled happily when he heard Summer say this.

"Alright, Mr. Peterson, let's stop boasting and get down to business. Summer said again.

"Okay, I'd like to ask Mr. Xia, which one is your target for this acquisition?" Peterson nodded, and then asked.

Different companies have different plans, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated.

"What I'm going to buy this time is Columbia-Samsung Pictures. Summer said.

Columbia - Samsung Pictures is one of Hollywood's six giants, with assets including Columbia Pictures, Samsung Pictures, Columbia Teletext, and Samsung's 820 theaters in 180 locations across the United States.

The reason why Summer is preparing to buy this company is because it is the only company among the six Hollywood giants that is relatively easy to acquire.

Although Disney has always been the lowest of the six Hollywood giants, its production route has always been based on cartoons, and it makes profits through solid businesses such as animation images, theme parks and derivative licensing, so although it does not make much money, it has no financial troubles. Therefore, it does not want to be acquired, and it is not easy for outsiders to force it to buy.

Fox has just been bought by media mogul Murdoch. He is using Fox's TV station to build his fourth largest television network, so he should have no plans to make another move for the time being.

Universal Pictures was acquired by American Music Company, and although its performance has been poor in recent years, American Music Company has no intention of making a move. If you insist on buying, I'm afraid you will pay a sky-high price. In the previous life, Panasonic acquired an American music company, but it cost 6.6 billion US dollars.

Although Paramount has had a hard time in the past two years, the tiger is still heroic, especially in the past few years under the management of Barry Diller, he has invested in the filming of "Grease", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Moonlight, Panic", "Beverly Hills Detective" and other acclaimed and popular movies, so the market value is still as high as $7 billion, which is not something that can be touched in the summer.

Warner Pictures is one of the six major film companies, and has produced many acclaimed and acclaimed movies in recent years, such as "Lethal Weapon", "Superman", "Ghost Hunt", "Goonies", "Little Devil" and so on.

Coupled with Warner Records, DC Comics and other assets, the total value of Warner has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, which is also not something that can be touched in the summer.

In comparison, only Columbia-Samsung Pictures is worth considering.

The company's assets are worth about $1 billion, and in '82, Coca-Cola bought 49% of its shares worth $750 million.

However, since being acquired by Coca-Cola, Columbia's operating conditions have not improved much, but have continued to decline, so the value of assets is also depreciating further.

A billion dollars, it should be able to take it down. The reason why Sony gave out $5 billion was actually fooled.
