In other words, if the video company were to be merged into the future Viacom, then Viacom would have to take care of the production and sales of the video tapes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info otherwise, how could Wu Cheng let the video production company merge into Viacom?

However, the sales volume of Xiangjiang film tapes here is generally not very good, and the company's output and input ratio in this area is too small and too small.

Only Wu Cheng, a Chinese man, is willing to do such a thankless job.

"Honestly, aren't you really interested in acquiring Viacom?"

Seeing Lei Shidong ask with a heartfelt look, Wu Cheng couldn't help but smile, raised his glass and took a sip, and then said: "I said it before, and I have also considered this issue carefully. In the end, I chose to abandon the plan to acquire it for the time being. Indeed, the TV network is also in my plan, but this plan needs to be postponed a little. ”

Wu Cheng shook his head and continued: "At present, for me, the theater chain is more important. ”

"But I don't think that the importance of the cinema chain is greater than that of the TV network. As long as you have a TV network as a supplement, your entertainment empire has two legs, one for DreamWorks Films, and one for Viacom. It's better to walk on two legs than one!"

Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this analogy, and said: "However, the leg of DreamWorks has not yet grown up, and with a Viacom, my empire still needs a crutch to do it, isn't it?

Lei Shidong frowned slightly, and said, "Cheng, I can't understand you a little." Sometimes I think you're very aggressive, but now I think you're too steady. ”

After a pause, he added: "Is it because there are too many successes that you are afraid of failure? The company seeks to go public, which is something that all bosses dream of, or even can't ask for." But in your eyes, it's a threat. Buying Viacom is definitely a rare good thing for your entertainment empire, but you'd rather give up ......"

When Wu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking about it carefully, Lei Shidong's words seemed to be reasonable. For a long time, creating those companies by yourself has generally been a matter of planning and then acting, and it is absolutely not a whim. In this way, unnecessary losses and troubles can be reduced, but it also loses a kind of indomitable momentum and who competes with the edge.

In the past, he rarely thought about whether the North American masses would resist him, but now he actually thought about these things. But soon, he realized that this was just an excuse he had made for not buying Viacom.

The acquisition of Viacom is an opportunity, and indeed a great opportunity to turn your entertainment and media empire into a two-legged one.

Is it really worth giving up such an opportunity to buy a few theater chains?

And when Viacom develops, can his small local TV station really compete with such a behemoth? Are you too optimistic and ignore reality?

Seeing Wu Cheng holding his arms thoughtfully, one hand slowly turning the wine glass, Lei Shidong did not woo Wu Cheng, but just tasted the wine with a smile on the corner of his lips.

He has always thought that this young man is incredible, whether it is in the entertainment industry or in the business world, he has never been defeated, and he can only be looked up to.

Many of his fans consider him a 'god'!

Unexpectedly, such a 'god' actually has something he is afraid of, Lei Shidong feels that what he just said poked his pain point, it seems that he is indeed a little afraid of failure.

For this reason, Lei Shidong felt a little proud in his heart.

Because he proved that the young man in front of him, who is regarded as a 'god' by many people, is actually just an ordinary person with extraordinary abilities, and he will also be afraid of failure!

He didn't interrupt Wu Cheng's thoughts, he was alone over there.

At this time, Wu Cheng had already begun to calculate in his heart how much money he could start. There is only one storm investment that can really draw out funds, and some other companies are basically still in the stage of rapid development, such as Yitong Instant Noodle Company, Tianbao Beverage Company, and Blizzard Game Company...... Even children's toys companies are further refining their sales channels, and it is okay to pull them out, but it will slow down the pace of its expansion.

However, there are many places where money is needed, and now that there is an economic crisis, if there are too many funds in Storm Investment, some of the gains outweigh the losses. Star Investment, he didn't think about moving it at all, it was too small, but it was only hundreds of millions of assets, and it couldn't be moved.

Not to mention the investment in the mainland, there are banks there that can lend money, and even 300 million Chinese yuan can be directly transferred from the company in Xiangjiang, plus his own deposits, there is no problem. But if Viacom is acquired, then the plan to take advantage of the collapse of Xiangjiang real estate next year can only be put on hold.

After such a good calculation, Wu Cheng found that he did have a lot of assets, but it was really not so easy to withdraw more than ten or two billion at once.

When Viacom was acquired by Lei Shidong, Lei Shidong spent $3.4 billion, but at that time, Viacom also had an MTV global music television network as a subsidiary, and this company was only established next year. Therefore, Viacom at this time is obviously not as valuable as the original time and space.

However, even if it is not worth much, there should be more than ten or two billion dollars.

Two billion US dollars, if Wu Cheng accounts for sixty percent, it will be 1.2 billion US dollars, if he wants to take this money, he can still take it, but the storm company will shrink a lot.

Moreover, he also wants to buy the theater chain under Lei Shidong's name! If there is no five or six hundred million in this, it is impossible. During this period, the theater chain under Lei Shidong's name was obviously not as huge as the period when he was preparing to buy Viacom.

In this way, there is almost no capital on the Storm Investment side.

Then, the only thing that can be done is to take a loan from the bank. If you use the children's toy company as collateral, there is no problem at all with a loan of one billion dollars.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said to Lei Shidong: "Cooperation, it's not impossible!"

"......" Lei Shidong was stunned at first, and then said happily: "Cheng, have you finally figured it out?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said: "You're right, the TV network is indeed a part of my entertainment empire." However, Viacom has clearly not lived up to my expectations, and it still needs to go through several mergers and acquisitions to meet the standards I have in mind. However, this direction can be controlled by us......"

Lei Shidong was a little surprised, and asked, "What's the matter? Aren't the TV networks owned by Viacom today enough?"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "My goal is that if we buy Viacom, then it will at least buy one of the three major TV networks in North America." It's just that buying one of the three major TV networks is not that simple, and it's not something we can do right now. ”

“……”

Lei Shidong was speechless, he didn't expect that Wu Cheng's ambition was so big.

Seeing Lei Shidong looking at him stunned, Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, in fact, this is one of the reasons why I didn't want to buy it before, the current Viacom is indeed not what I want." However, you are right, it will be more difficult and more expensive to buy it when it is strong enough. Rather than that, it's better for us to grow it ourselves. Of course, you can also buy it after it grows a little bigger. ”

"Are you stupid for me?" Lei Shidong glanced at Wu Cheng.

"Haha......"

Seeing Lei Shidong's dead fish-eyed expression, Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

However, Lei Shidong didn't care, and nodded: "Since you said so, I think you must have a plan in mind! Believe me, we're going to go in the direction you said we're going to eventually acquire one of the three major broadcasters in the United States. ”

Wu Cheng stretched out his hand and touched his cup, and said with a smile: "Then I wish us success! By the way, when will you sell me the theater chain in your hand?"

"Oh my God, you guy, I knew you guy didn't have a good heart!" After despising Wu Cheng, Lei Shidong said again: "Cheng, speaking of implementation, did you refuse to buy Viacom before, is it really because you are afraid of failure? I think, this is not like you!"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "I thought I was afraid of failure before, but when you told me, I also reflected on myself." But after thinking about it carefully, this is not an important reason, the real reason is that the current Viacom is not the Viacom I want. ”

Indeed, today's Viacom, although his value is not low, but speaking of which, he is still a small company in the TV network, and it cannot be compared with the three major radio and television stations in the United States today. Otherwise, the original time and space, it would not have acquired CBS radio and television stations.

And the funds in Wu Cheng's hands are still of great use, and they can't all be smashed on Viacom, which has little effect on him at the moment. At this time, Viacom had not even acquired MTV, and even this TV station had not yet appeared, let alone CBS, one of the three major radio and television stations in the United States. Without CBS, Viacom is dispensable for Wu Cheng.

In that case, why wait?

However, Lei Shidong is right, if Viacom acquires other TV networks in the future, Viacom at that time will definitely not be at the current price.

"Tell me about your plans!Besides, if we're working together, how are we going to work together?Aren't you going to let DreamWorks merge into Viacom?" )
