Chapter 306: The Green Cloud Drifts In
Mark used to be very confident, the kind of confidence that scolded Fang Xuan and pointed out the country, even Sophia convinced him and helped him do a lot of things.
However, Mark's self-confidence comes from the golden finger, the prophet is God, what is not confident about sitting on divine power, he has the world in hand, and the country I have.
But Martin's appearance took away his self-confidence and pride, and let him know that in fact, I am also an ordinary person, without Goldfinger, there is no confidence and pride.
In Martin's mind, he is even afraid that Mark will be ambitious and do things that endanger the country, so he will be drawn into prison, and he will limit Mark's power to the entertainment industry, which is actually in Mark's arms.
Mark's ambition is there, limited to being a tycoon, and he has never thought of seizing power, let alone becoming president.
In the United States, the status of Chinese Americans is low, far below the black and Latino races, because Chinese Americans do not like to be in politics, let alone political activities, and do not have media bosses.
In the United States, everyone's rights are not equal, although on paper it is said that one person, one vote, but this is a very superficial understanding, each person actually has a different weight of votes or a different number of votes, abstractly speaking.
Whoever controls the media can use the media to guide other people's opinions, and who can use other people's votes to support policies and candidates that are beneficial to them, so the group that can control or guide the media is far more powerful and more powerful than the group that has no influence on the matter.
Controlling funds, controlling the media, and being able to lead, guide, and control public opinion is the real status in the United States, not that the average income is higher than that of other groups, and controlling the media is to control political power and control the right to speak.
Whoever can make more people read their own media, absorb their own opinions and their own values, hate people and groups who oppose their own values, and use social motivation and anger will win power, or they will hide their own media tycoons, media stars, media families, media elites, and religious leaders, and their votes or opinions will be the votes or opinions of millions of people.
This is the real power that controls the politics of the United States, not O'Dark Horse or Trump or Clinton, they are just carrying out tasks for the forces that support them behind them, and the media is also called the Fourth Power.
But the strange thing about Mark is that Martin is trapped here in prison, a bit like a tiger trapped in a forest and a fish trapped in the sea, doesn't he know that Mark can call the wind and rain here just as well? Chinese Americans have all industries in North America, but there are too few people in the media industry, let alone those media companies, so Mark knows what he wants to do and what he wants to do.
In the entertainment industry, under the industrial layout of King Mark, in less than ten years, a media family comparable to the Merry Stone's family and the Mei Duo family will rise in North America.
Of course, this is a beautiful fantasy, and it must be based on the fact that Brother Gu, Facebook, Pingguo, and Naifei have all become super enterprises.
MM made a decisive move and decisively acquired Colombia and MGM, which is a classic battle recognized by the world, a textbook-like classic battle for kings.
But Mark thinks about it now, it's stupid, because they are using the family fund's Gu Ge and Marvel, Facebook equity collateral, within five years, the shares of these companies are far more valuable than MM Group, and Pingguo and Nafei belong to MM, if the bankers are sharp-eyed and ruthless, cut off the loan in advance, and confiscate their collateral, this will destroy his foundation in one fell swoop, and within a few years, get a hundredfold return.
But in this way, Sophia, Donald, and Kayla are afraid that they will completely turn against the family and remove the word Ronaldson from their surnames.
In the final analysis, now is to make more money, with a large number of tickets in hand, I don't panic, like this time YouTube sold for a good price, and the family fund has an extra billion in the account, which makes David, Sophia, and Giselle all overjoyed, and the dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads have dispersed a lot, and there is no debt crisis that almost suffocates people, and they are all relaxed and can celebrate the New Year happily.
As a new member of the family, Giselle has also become a member of the family fund, and can become a victim of the family fund, get equity shares, profit dividends, and entrepreneurial support, but she has to officially become a member of the family fund, and she has to wait for Donald to come back and sign it, and become a member of the family fund, which must be passed by other members together, which is a manifestation of maintaining the unity of family members.
On the 20th, Christmas Eve, Mark was even busier, constantly attending internal meetings and parties within the group, and a large company like them did not hold some celebrations, parties, and give out some benefits to employees, which is beyond words.
It's a little sad to say, "Youth Musical" was released on December 1, and the box office of North America has exceeded 150 million on the 20th, these family movies have tenacious vitality, once they have a mouthful of beer, long-term screening is a must, as well as Christmas holidays, New Year's holidays, it is expected to be offline after Valentine's Day, they conservatively estimate that if there is no accident, North Mi will break through 200 million, reaching about 220 million, which will surpass "007 Die on Another Day" to become MGM's highest-grossing movie.
This is as effective as a shot in the arm for MGM's excitement, and this ticket for the New Year has made them full of money and kept their balance even, as for next year's "The Hangover 2", "Saw 3" and "007: Casino Royale" are all box office guarantees, which can be described as a good situation.
MGM used to have 007 to hang his life, but now that there are more of these best-selling series, it is naturally thriving, and Mark, who was born in movies, will only focus more on making movies and television, unlike Cork, a tycoon, who only wants to make money from MGM.
Colombia is a little worse, although there are a few blockbuster movies, but because of the big family and the large number of people who eat, they still can't make ends meet, and the parent company injects 200 million US dollars into it to maintain normal operations.
This means that their loss this year is 200 million US dollars, since the rebirth, it is the first time that a company under them shows a loss, Mark can convince the bank venture capital, because of their super earning ability, fortunately sold YouTube to Brother Gu, a billion US dollars in income, its profitability is not inferior to any giant company in Hollywood, with this dazzling report card, I believe that those investors behind it are assured.
Of course, this is the Wang brothers and sisters family foundation, they have completed this year's task, and they can take it out at any time to repay the interest and money, which has little to do with MM, of course, the other shareholders of MM are not good men and women, they have their own magical powers, anyway, no one is currently saying that they have no money to repay debts, because their company has good prospects, and there are consortiums willing to finance to join, and the three major shareholders are not any one who has the intention of diluting equity.
MM is a bit like Viacom and News Corp., the equity is highly concentrated in the hands of the three major shareholders, if the three major shareholders do not nod, no matter how much money they have, they can't be acquired, while Warner, Disney, and Universal are concentrated in the hands of shareholders' meetings, and they are relatively easy to be acquired.
Mark got off work early today, he felt that he hadn't been to Amber for a long time, since the last time he sent her the mansion, he had never seen it again, he should have met once, Mark had the key to the villa, and quietly came to the villa under the escort of the bodyguard, this is a double-storey villa with a private beach, it is a paradise in summer, and now in the cold winter, there is nothing to do, it is so cold that people shiver, if there is no central air conditioning, it is simply impossible to live in people.
Mark opened the key and opened the door, the lights were not turned on here, Mark thought that Amber had not returned, he was going to call after a cup of coffee, they had to talk a few words, if it was before, it would have been divided, but now after sending a mansion with a luxury car, it is not said that it will be divided, this is a big loss.
But when he opened the bedroom door, he saw two people hugging each other and waking up.
Mark was bored and turned around and left.
Amber panicked and stammered, "Mark, why are you here?" Seeing Mark ignore it, she chased after her with the sheets, while the person on her bed retreated into the bed.
Mark looked at Amber, who was full of nervousness, and said, "Don't you feel ashamed?"
Amber lowered her head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, give me a chance." ”
Mark's eyes were like knives, staring at Amber, and he said coldly: "I can make you popular all over the country, or I can make you worthless." ”
Amber had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry!
Mark was full of anger and said, "I'm sorry? You made you popular, made you a star, gained fame and fortune, gave you villas and mansions, and you humiliated me in this way?" He angrily pulled out a pistol from the bodyguard, pointed it at his head, and said sharply: "I'll shoot you to death!"
Amber was startled, quickly calmed down, and said, "You calm down! It's a big deal to break up, you don't have to pull out your hands to grab it and pretend?"
Mark said hatefully, "You think I won't dare to kill you?"
Amber shrugged and said, "You at least have insurance? ”
Mark had no choice but to hand the pistol back to the bodyguard, and reached out to slap her, Amber turned her heart sideways, sent her face up to be beaten, and said, "You will be ashamed!"
Hitting a woman is really not a glorious thing.
Mark had no choice but to stop.
Amber said, "You caused all this, when was the last time we met? In October? Do you know how many men want to sleep with me? There are too many to count, and you only see each other once in two months, and I ask you to me for ten minutes, just ten minutes, and you won't, I'm your lover, not your Barbie! ”
She roared hoarsely, but instead shook Mark.
I wish you all book friends a happy Chinese New Year's Eve. Thank you, the happiest thing for the local tyrant book friends is that you are fatter than me, thank you. Commonwealth of Nations.
