Oriental DreamWorks now has a lot of cash, and just one "2012" has brought at least 1.5 billion Chinese dollars and 500 million yuan to the company after removing taxes and various expenses.

However, Yang Ming can't move this money, after all, the next few movies will add up to at least hundreds of millions of budgets.

Especially for the filming of "Transformers", if Leying Digital doesn't spend hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, the movie will definitely not be made.

Therefore, the source of funds for Yang Ming's acquisition of AMC mainly relies on Meituan's listing circle money plan.

With his golden finger, Meituan is now the largest group buying website in China and the United States, and it is also one of the most influential e-commerce websites.

Meituan is also regarded as the most valuable online sunrise company, and some professionals estimate that once the company is listed, the market value will definitely exceed 10 billion.

In fact, Yang Ming has long known that the value of Meituan will inevitably exceed 10 billion.

As the main shareholder, Yang Ming must take out a part of the shares to cash out before the listing, and Redwood Fund is a shareholder who buys the shares in Yang Ming's hands.

As the main undertaker of Meituan's online listing, Redwood Fund is very optimistic about the future of Meituan, and naturally will not be stingy with money to acquire some shares from Yang Ming.

15% of the shares, 500 million meters, this is the bid of the Redwood Fund, and Yang Ming also agreed to this offer.

This time, he is ready to sell 30% of the shares, in exchange for 1 billion meters in cash, there is no problem.

Yang Ming holds a total of 85% of Meituan's shares, and the other 15% of the shares, as an equity award to Hua Mingqiu and his team, even if Yang Ming sells 30% of his shares this time, he still owns 55% of the shares, but he still has an absolute controlling stake.

Even after the listing, his shares will continue to decline, but this is no longer important to Yang Ming.

His goal in life is not e-commerce.

With the confidence to cash out the shares of Meituan.com, Yang Ming will be so confident in acquiring AMC's shares, not to mention 30% of the shares, even if it is a wholly-owned acquisition, as long as AMC is willing to transfer, he will try his best to take down the second largest cinema company in the United States.

After Yang Ming and Barber met, there were still 2 days before the opening of the Academy Awards, but he had already asked from the entertainment media in the United States about the smell that was not good for Oriental DreamWorks.

Especially in the arrangement of some well-intentioned people, various conspiracy theories against Oriental DreamWorks have been reported as news by several entertainment media.

"Even a movie without five Hollywood actors was nominated for an Academy Award, what does this make other film companies think about the competition?"

"A wolf in sheep's clothing, although Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks belongs to the United States Film Company, it is the blood of China that flows in the bones of this film company. ”。

Yang Ming saw the news headlines on several entertainment media in the United States, and smiled faintly, this is the so-called freedom of the United States, hehe, he smiled faintly and did not take it to heart.

He can even guess who are the people who are jumping up and down at the moment and using the media to sow discord.

It is estimated that there is no one else except Pan Am Entertainment and the Mr. Councillor.

It's a pity that those people don't know how important Yang Ming doesn't regard the Academy Awards at all, and it's okay to win well, if you don't.

On the eve of the opening of the Academy Awards, Yang Ming and Barber made an appointment to meet the CEO of AMC, Gerry Lopez.

At night, Los Angeles is already lit up with neon lights, making Los Angeles even brighter under the stars.

The place where Yang Ming and Gerry Lopez made an appointment to meet was the very famous Wolfgang Park Restaurant in Los Angeles.

This restaurant is also a favorite place for many Hollywood celebrities to come to eat, and it is precisely because celebrities and celebrities often come here that the restaurant has very high requirements for environment and decoration, and the environment is also very quiet.

"The bluefin tuna here is really the most nostalgic. Gerry Lopez elegantly held up his glass of wine.

Yang Ming smiled and said casually: "It's my first time here, if it weren't for Mr. Barber, I really didn't know that there would be such an elegant restaurant here in Hollywood." ”

"I can't think of a better place to look at B. Saya Bay, eating delicious food, enjoying the food and feeling the intimate atmosphere under the warm soft light," Barber said with a smile. ”

Hearing Barber's words, Gerry Lopez couldn't help laughing, then looked at the long-time friend and said, "I guess the biggest advantage in your heart besides Wolfgang Park's restaurant is that it is close enough to Pan American Entertainment and Hollywood." ”

The three of them immediately burst out laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

Bobble used to be at Pan American Entertainment, and Pan American Entertainment was only 5 minutes away from the restaurant, so it's no wonder Gree Lopez made such fun of Bobble.

At the dinner table, the three of them talked and laughed, chatting about the topic that the current entertainment industry is most concerned about - the Academy Awards, and Gerry Lopez also pointed out the problem with the criticism suffered by Oriental DreamWorks in the recent period.

Xenophobia!

Yang Ming nodded and agreed.

No matter who you are, you don't want to see others running to your house to grab money, otherwise why would the Chinese film industry have such a big reaction to Hollywood blockbusters dominating the box office market ranking of Chinese movies for several years in a row?

Face and dignity are only one of the important reasons, and the fundamental reason is that the Chinese film market is taken up by others, so the benefits of local Chinese film companies will be reduced.

No one is willing to give up their interests to others.

The world is as black as a crow, the reason why Huaxia was attacked by Hollywood in the previous life and had no power to fight back, is that there is no strength in China to confront Hollywood, if there is this strength, are they willing Hollywood film companies to take a piece of their bowl?

Obviously this is not possible.

Yang Ming's Oriental DreamWorks is facing this problem at this time.

He didn't care about the Oscars, but he didn't want to be choked, there was no theater company in his hands, once those Hollywood giants made a force, Oriental DreamWorks had no power to fight back.

It is impossible for Yang Ming to pin his hopes on the so-called freedom of the United States, this statement is purely bluffing.

Seeing that the young man on the other side was not anxious and worried because of the news that was unfavorable to Oriental DreamWorks in the media in the past two days, Gerry Lopez felt a trace of surprise in his heart, but he did not show any abnormality.

After dinner, the waiter cleaned up the table and poured a cup of coffee for the three of them, and the box seemed a little quiet.

A few people know that it's time to get down to business.

Gerry Lopez coughed lightly, and then he looked at Yang Ming's eyes seriously and asked, "If AMC Cinemas is acquired by you, will you arrange for the release of more Chinese films?"

――――

It's made up for Tuesday!
