Chapter 255: I Want Paramount (6/6)

"What do I want?"

Faced with Lei Shidong's straightforward inquiry, Abel smiled silently.

"I would like to ask in turn, Mr. Summer. What can you give me?!"

Lei Shidong was a little stunned by his ball.

This guy!

He said calmly, "Mr. Sephorosa." You have to say what you think before I can make a judgment. ”

"Okay. I'm the one who hates red tape the most!"

It's good to play the ball once in a while, but if you keep struggling with this aspect, you will fall behind.

Abel also said straight to the point: "I want Paramount!"

"I didn't want to make movies, I didn't want to be a star. But I love Hollywood stars, especially beautiful female stars!"

said something that was not on the stage, but Abel said it as a matter of course:

"So I have to have my own film company, so that I can invite those beautiful female stars I like to make movies! But if I build my own company and develop my own company, it will be too slow......!

He looked at Lei Shidong and said word by word: "I, want, send, pull, and Meng!"

After listening to Abel's request.

Lei Shidong's face darkened suddenly.

Paramount!

One of the Big Six in Hollywood, it has a long history, and the symbol of the stars surrounding the snow-capped mountains is famous all over the world.

For the first three decades of its existence, the company sat on the throne of Hollywood with a large number of stars, high-quality films, and a chain of theaters throughout the United States.

In the course of its subsequent development, Paramount produced great movies such as "The Godfather", "Titanic", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Forrest Gump" and "Transformers".

From the 60s to the 90s, the company was able to produce films that were both acclaimed and acclaimed.

Although it has entered the second decade of the 21st century, this film company, which was founded in 1912 and has a history of 100 years, has gradually failed to keep up with Disney with Marvel.

But for Viacom, Paramount is the media giant's calling card when it comes to film.

The indispensable one.

Abel is now so directly proposing to Paramount, how could Lei Shidong agree?

If you say yes.

Viacom is sure to fall from his position as the third largest media in the United States.

Can a media group without a movie business card still be called a media group?

Although Paramount is not so valuable now, it is a bit inconsistent with the positioning of the Big Six.

But it's just the starry mountains and the huge library of movies.

Just so that Paramount doesn't fall.

To put it simply.

This request made by Abel is impossible for Lei Shidong and Viacom to agree!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lei Shidong tried his best to calm himself:

"It's impossible. Mr. Sephorosa. Viacom can't do without Paramount, and Paramount can't do without Viacom!"

"But ......"

After expressing his tough attitude, Lei Shidong's tone changed sharply, and his tone softened slightly:

"If you like female stars, Mr. Sephorosa, Viacom or Paramount can ask some of your favorite stars to make the movies you want. ”

"Any movie will do!"

At the time of the last sentence, Lei Shidong, who is not old-hearted, deliberately showed that a man knows how to smile.

If it's really like this young man said, he just wants to play female stars before he wants to enter the media industry.

It's fucked up though.

For Viacom and Lei Shidong, it's a bit like an unwarranted disaster, and they are targeted for this kind of fucking reason for no reason.

But if that's really the case.

Lei Shidong felt that it was the simplest.

Hollywood actresses only.

Who to play is not to play?

When he Lei Shidong was young, he didn't play less than anyone else, and he played more crazy than anyone else.

It's just that I'm old now.

I can't do it!

If the other party can give up the acquisition of Viacom, Lei Shidong is not willing to become one of the shareholders of Viacom and one of his partners.

As for female celebrities or something.

Lei Shidong, who is 95 years old, generously said that he would play with it......

Lei Shidong, who has experienced the era of Hollywood's red sofa, has long seen through the red dust in this regard, after all, ......

He can't play if he wants to!

"Hehe......"

Facing Lei Shidong's hints.

If it was really just this small request, would he have gone to such great lengths to acquire Viacom?

Viacom.

The degree and complexity of its control and cross-shareholding of shares is a headache just to think about!

He retreated to the next best thing, as long as Paramount was in control, it was already a relatively low requirement for him.

Abel was unmoved, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Summer." I think you're very insincere, what I just said is, I want Paramount! Hear me clearly, it's Paramount! If I just want to ask a female star to make my movie, I just need to spend money, do I need to buy Viacom, which is no longer worth much?!"

This was said unceremoniously, it didn't sound like there was any degree of avoidance, and Lei Shidong's face darkened again.

He furrowed his gray eyebrows: "This is really an impossible request. Mr. Sephorosa. There's no way Viacom will agree to your terms!"

Syllable!

Able leaned back in his chair and snapped his fingers, and AndrΓ©s quickly came over, pulled out a $100 bill from his pocket, and handed it to the waiter who had just brought coffee.

In the waiter's joyful thanks, Abel smiled and handed him the coffee that Lei Shidong had ordered just now:

"It's your coffee, Mr. Summer. I'll ask you to drink it. ”

"Thank you. Lei Shidong thanked him quietly.

Abel continued to laugh and said, "My bodyguard is not short of money. He was willing to tip the lovely waitress just now with a $100 tip. ”

"As the owner of Andles. I'm not short of money!"

"So what I want to say is ......"

Abel stared at Lei Shidong without giving an inch: "I want Paramount!"

"You!"

Abel's unyielding attitude made Lei Shidong really angry.

"Young people, sometimes it's better to do it in moderation. I'll admit that you have an incredible talent for investing, but that talent doesn't make a difference in business!"

Lei Shidong said in a deep voice: "I can make you one of the shareholders of Viacom and Paramount. In the future Paramount's film production, the choice of the heroine is up to you! This is the bottom line of Viacom and me!"

The old man with gray hair, gray eyebrows, and a face of age spots did not back down at all.

It's a pity that he met Abel.

Abel shook his head.

"I don't like to eat on the same plate with other people. I also don't like playing with other people. ”

Able whispered, "I want Paramount! I'm alone, that's my only request!"

This time, Lei Shidong was really angry.

He didn't continue to negotiate with Abel, he stood up very simply, and said angrily, "Mr. Sephorosa." It looks like we can't work together anymore. You want Paramount so much, get it yourself!"

"I will. Compared with the angry Lei Shidong, Abel still laughed: "What I want, I never rely on others to give alms, but rely on myself to work hard!"

"Good!"

Almost squeezing out this sentence from between his teeth, Lei Shidong laughed angrily:

"Huh...... Goodbye! Mr. Sephorosa!"

"Goodbye ......"

Lei Shidong left angrily with a group of people.

John Mellon, who had been in front of the transparent people, stood up, sent the other party to the elevator, and sent the group away in Lei Shidong's thanks.

Then John Mellon came back with a wry smile:

"Is that really good? Mr. Sommer is not an easy person to deal with. ”

Abel shrugged: "My requirements are so low. He won't give it, so what can I do?"

The requirements are so low?

That's Paramount!

One of the six giants of Hollywood, a century-old film group with a glorious history, has one of the largest film libraries in the world today, and has many acclaimed and acclaimed movie IPs.

That's Paramount, where the stars shine beneath the snowy mountains!

Want such a Paramount.

Is this called less demanding?

Is......

That's a small amount of requirement!

John Mellon complained inwardly.

"Your next move to buy Viacom stock may be sniping. Mr. Lei Shidong had many friends, and many Jews would be happy to be his white knights. ”

John Mellon had a vague reminder.

Abel naturally understood his reminder.

It was nothing more than a reminder that the media industry in the American Federation was almost dominated by Jewish power.

The bosses and top brass of Hollywood are almost all Jewish......

Abel wants to do something to Viacom, and he has to pay attention to the unanimity of these people.

But Abel wasn't afraid.

Not to mention that he is also 1/4 Jewish, and those Jews at the top of Hollywood will see him differently than other white people for the sake of this layer.

Even if it is a real business struggle, Abel with the infinite money plug-in of the smoke of fate, how can he be afraid of this kind of struggle!

"Thank you, John. Abel smiled and said, "I'll make a call first!"

"You're welcome...... I hope you don't get mad at me for this dinner today. John Mellon said sincerely.

He didn't want to annoy this new myth of wealth because of today's failed peacemaker experience.

Compared with Lei Shidong and Viacom's little favors, John Mellon cherishes friendship with a new star like Abel who can't be stopped!

In the future, he didn't want to do this kind of peacemaker thing again.

"It's okay......"

Abel said with a smile.

Then the phone was connected.

"Keep adding to Viacom's stock!, and CBS!"

"That's right, if it's a Class B stock with voting rights, the premium is 100%!"

"Huh...... I don't believe that those people will have trouble with money!"
