Chapter 777 Big Move!
United States, Hollywood, a five-star hotel, in a suite.
Zhao Zhonghua sat in front of the computer, still recalling what happened in the afternoon.
"Mr. Zhao, in fact, to solve this problem, it's very simple, you need to have a theater chain of your own!" Cole said with a smile.
Zhao Zhonghua showed a bitter smile and said: "Mr. Cole, what you said is reasonable, but we also thought about establishing a cinema chain in the United States, but in the end, it didn't work!"
That's right, after Hu Yu established the Shuguang Cinema Line in Huaxia, it was like establishing a cinema line belonging to Shuguang Entertainment in the world's largest box office in the United States, but unfortunately, they have not established an effective cinema mechanism until now, and in the United States, the so-called Shuguang Cinema Line can only be regarded as a small fight!
Whether it is Hu Yu or Zhao Zhonghua, they are all regrets about this matter.
"But, Mr. Zhao, have you ever thought that what you did was wrong?"
"Error?"
"Yes, you have always wanted to build your own cinema chain, but unfortunately, you forgot that this is the United States, you want to build a complete cinema chain from scratch, it is very difficult, but once you acquire the cinema chain, it will be different, the resistance will be very small, as long as you can acquire the cinema chain, then you will have a complete cinema ecosystem!"
Cole's words touched Zhao Zhonghua a lot, just like Cole said, Hu Yu and he never thought about buying a theater chain, but chose to create a theater chain.
Although the creation of a cinema chain can better ensure the purity of the bloodline of Shuguang Cinema, don't forget that this is the United States, and the people of the United States will not watch them create new theaters.
But if you buy a theater chain, this is possible, without him, there is this precedent in the United States, for example, Colombia, one of the eight major film and television empires, the financiers behind the scenes are island people.
Cole's words undoubtedly made Zhao Zhonghua feel empowered, but such a major event as the acquisition of the theater chain is not something he can decide alone, and he still needs Hu Yu's support, after all, Shuguang Entertainment belongs to Hu Yu, and he is just an acting manager.
Zhao Zhonghua is still very clear about his positioning.
He knew that if he just bought some small companies, Hu Yu would not ask at all, this was his right, but the theater chain in the United States was different, because this was a big business involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Let's talk to the boss!"
After Zhao Zhonghua finished speaking, he directly turned on the computer and dialed a video chat.
Zhao Zhonghua didn't wait long, and Hu Yu took this video chat.
"Old Zhao, what good news did you bring me?" asked with a smile after seeing Zhao Zhonghua.
"Boss, I may be going to disappoint you this time!" Zhao Zhonghua shook his head.
"What's going on?" asked Hu Yu.
"Boss, it's like this......" Then, Zhao Zhonghua told all the causes and consequences of the matter, and Hu Yu's face was also a little gloomy.
"Imperial entertainment? good, good, good, good imperial entertainment!" Hu Yu laughed angrily.
"They'll regret it!" Zhao Zhonghua gritted his teeth.
"Yes, they will regret it!" Hu Yu repeated Zhao Zhonghua's words.
"Lao Zhao, I think, you sent me the video, it shouldn't be just for this matter, right?" asked Hu Yu.
Hu Yu knows Zhao Zhonghua too well, if it is an ordinary small matter, Zhao Zhonghua will only call him, not send him a video, once the video is posted, it means that there must be a big matter, and it is a big thing that Zhao Zhonghua can't handle.
"Boss, it's like this, I thought of a solution!"
Hu Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked, "How to solve it?"
"Simple, build our own cinema alliance!" Zhao Zhonghua said word by word, he saw the confusion on Hu Yu's face, and added, "Boss, we can buy the local cinema chain in the United States!"
"Acquisition?"
"Yes, it's an acquisition, we can learn from the island people, and make a move to steal the sky and buy a local theater chain in the United States!" Zhao Zhonghua said in a deep voice.
"Got a partner?"
"I think that the AMC in the United States is good, and it should be able to be acquired!"
When Hu Yu heard this, he was stunned, for AMC, Hu Yu still knows, her Chinese name is multi-cinema cinema line, ranking second among the major cinema lines in the United States.
The reason why Hu Yu knows it is because in his previous life, the famous real estate tycoon Wanda acquired AMC, and this plane, because of Hu Yu's strong rise, has changed many things, for example, Wanda has not acquired AMC yet, but now, AMC's life is not very good.
In fact, if you think about it, if AMC's life is good, then how can she be acquired by Wanda?
In her previous life, the reason why Wanda acquired AMC was because Wanda wanted to intervene strongly in the film and television industry, and she wanted to establish a global cinema alliance, but unfortunately, with the strong rise of Hu Yu, Wanda's ambition to invade the film and television industry was stopped.
The reason is very simple, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Wanda's helmsman knows that even if they enter the film and television industry, they can only be the second in ten thousand years, which is what the ambitious founders of Wanda do not want to see.
It can be said that with Hu Yu's chaotic entry, the history of this plane has been changed beyond recognition.
And as time goes by, as Hu Yu's influence grows, the development history of this planet in the future will be completely detached from the development trajectory of Hu Yu's previous life.
Let's get back to business.
Now, there is no Wanda acquisition, but AMC is still in a relatively sensitive period, and it is not impossible to acquire her.
In fact, Hu Yu still likes AMC very much, either he doesn't play it, or he plays big if he wants to.
"Yes, I support you, Lao Zhao, you are solely responsible for AMC's acquisition, I hope that within a week, when AMC is under our Shuguang Entertainment, I will send the company's best team of lawyers over!" Hu Yu said solemnly.
"Boss, don't worry, I won't let you down!" Zhao Zhonghua said loudly.
"You do things, I don't worry!" Hu Yu nodded in agreement.
Later, the two chatted again about the acquisition for a while before turning off the video.
"AMC, interesting!" Hu Yu said lightly.
At the same time, Zhao Zhonghua finally breathed a sigh of relief, with Hu Yu's support, Zhao Zhonghua had the confidence to acquire AMC.
You must know that the current Shuguang Entertainment is a giant-level company, just last year, the business share of Shuguang Entertainment has exceeded 100 billion, and the net profit is as high as 30 billion!
That's a terrifying number!
In fact, in these turnovers, the film and television industry only occupies a small part, not even 30%, and most of the profits are brought by the Internet.
And the game industry under Shuguang Entertainment has also brought more than one billion yuan of net profits to Shuguang Entertainment!
What's more, Shuguang Entertainment is still booming now, and no one can see her future clearly.
The next day, the AMC headquarters building.
Office of the President.
"Mr. Zhao, welcome, welcome!" Cole smiled and hugged Zhao Zhonghua.
"Mr. Cole, meet again!" Zhao Zhonghua also said with a smile.
"Mr. Cole, I'm here this time, but there's a big deal!"
"What's the big deal?" Cole asked suspiciously, but at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
Just as Cole was guessing, Zhao Zhonghua said the purpose of his coming here.
"Mr. Cole, I'm here to talk about AMC's acquisition!"
After hearing this, Cole said secretly, "Sure enough!"
"You Dawning Entertainment want to buy AMC?" Cole asked in a deep voice.
"Not bad!"
Cole immediately showed a wry smile and said: "I originally thought that you would choose to buy some small theaters, but I didn't expect that your appetite is so big, and you want to buy our AMC, you must know that AMC is not an ordinary small theater chain, if you don't have a good mouthful of teeth, you can't eat this piece of fat!"
"I know, but I think we have good teeth, Mr. Cole, you can take a look at this!" Zhao Zhonghua said as he handed a folder to Cole.
Cole took the folder, and when he saw the text on it, his face changed, because this was the annual income statement of Dawning Entertainment in 2012.
With a hint of curiosity, Cole began to look through the folder.
When he saw that the net profit of Shuguang Entertainment exceeded 30 billion yuan, he finally showed a trace of surprise.
You know, that's a net profit of more than $4 billion!
Cole glanced at Zhao Zhonghua deeply, and then said, "You are qualified to buy our AMC!"
Cole knew that the information in his hands was not fake, it was true, because Zhao Zhonghua had no need to falsify this account, which could be checked.
Honesty is not only extremely important in China, but also in the Western world!
Because heroism prevails in the Western world, they like to follow the rules of chivalry, and honesty is one of the virtues of knights.
Once a person loses integrity, then he will not be able to get along in the Western world.
"I need to talk to the shareholders of the company!" Cole said in a deep voice.
"Well, yes, but I want you to do it as soon as possible, I need to know your answer in the shortest possible time, if the price is fair, we will buy it!" Zhao Zhonghua said in a deep voice.
Although he is bound to win AMC, he is not a fool and will not spend money in vain!
If the AMC lion opens his mouth, he can completely go to buy those small theater chains, and accumulate a lot, and finally reach the level of the three major theater chains, but if he does this, it will be more troublesome and a waste of time, and it is not as simple as directly acquiring AMC.
Actually, this is a very simple multiple-choice question, and Zhao Zhonghua chose easy difficulty!
Another point is that if Dawning Entertainment acquires AMC, the sensation it will cause will definitely be earthquake-level, which is much more cost-effective than acquiring those small theater chains.
Moreover, Shuguang Entertainment can also use the momentum of thunder to promote Hu Yu's "Monkey King", which is a double win.
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, within two days, I will give you an answer!" Cole said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your reply!"
Soon after, Zhao Zhonghua directly resigned.
He still needs to do some preparation.
When Zhao Zhonghua left, Cole directly called his secretary, "Notify the major shareholders and convene a board meeting!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the secretary left, Cole glanced at the folder on the table, and an inexplicable look flashed across his face.
"The net profit is more than 4 billion US dollars, which is really ..... Perverted!" For Dawn Entertainment, Cole is still convinced.
You must know that AMC's net profit is still circling in tens of millions of US dollars, and it has never exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the company has lost money because of strategic mistakes in the first two years.
Even this year, income and expenses are almost on an even line, that is, AMC is not actually very profitable.
As a result, many AMC shareholders no longer want to play theaters, and many people want to withdraw their capital.
It can be said that AMC is the easiest time to be acquired, but in fact, the acquisition is not an unsightly thing for AMC.
In fact, she has been acquired twice in AMC's history, and if this acquisition is confirmed, it will be the third time AMC has acquired and restructured.
Therefore, it is not a difficult thing for AMC shareholders to give up AMC, as long as it can bring them benefits, they will give up!
After all, they are still a group of businessmen, and businessmen, chasing profits.
Not to mention that the current AMC can't bring them profits at all, they have long wanted to get rid of this burden, but it's a pity that they didn't take over before this, but now it's different, Shuguang Entertainment has jumped out, and AMC's shareholders are naturally willing to get rid of it.
Imperial Entertainment Headquarters Building.
Johnson looked at his secretary and slapped his big hand on the secretary's buttocks, causing the secretary to scream.
"Is there anything going on with that Huaxia guy lately?" Johnson asked, looking at his secretary.
Mary replied, "Sir, that Huaxia man has been falling out with AMC lately, and he often runs to AMC!"
"Oh, do you want to ask for AMC? Johnson let out a sneer.
Johnson is extremely disdainful of Zhao Zhonghua's approach.
"Those guys at AMC, even if they are willing to support that Chinese, how much can they get?" Johnson said coldly.
"Here, it's the United States, it's our people, it belongs to our great white race, a yellow man wants to come here to call for wind and rain, he thinks too much!" Johnson sneered.
As a racist, he has always embraced the idea of white supremacy, which is one of the reasons why he targeted Dawn Entertainment.
To be reasonable, if Emperor Entertainment changes its CEO, it is estimated that Emperor Entertainment will also give Hu Yu's "Monkey King" a 20% film scheduling rate, and will not be like Johnson, who is only willing to give a 10% film scheduling rate.
This film scheduling rate is a humiliation to Hu Yu!
However, it is precisely because of Johnson's choice that he was abandoned by Imperial Entertainment in the future, of course, this is a later story.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell!"
"Hey, I'm Johnson!"
"What, what are you talking about? Dawning Entertainment initiated the acquisition of AMC?" Johnson exclaimed.
