Chapter 780: Acquisition of Viacom?
Lei Shidong was stunned, shook his head and sighed: "You guy, you really have a lot of money! 10 million US dollars! Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć All I can say is that you are generous!"
"Are you sure you're not despising me in your heart...... People are stupid and have a lot of money?"
"Oh, isn't it?haha......" Lei Shidong laughed, and when he saw Wu Cheng rolling his eyes at him, he restrained himself a little, and smiled: "Okay! Actually, what I want to say is that you are really generous, and it is indeed very good to be friends with a generous person like you!"
Lei Shidong stretched out his hand and patted Wu Cheng's arm and gave affirmation.
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Since you asked me what the happy event is, I have some ideas, do you want to hear it?"
"Hey, Cheng, are you planning to cooperate with me?" Lei Shidong's eyes lit up.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "No, what I actually like is the theater in your hand!"
"I knew you had already started fighting them!" this time it was his turn to roll his eyes at Wu Cheng. Anyone who sees someone staring at what they have in their hands will do it!
Wu Cheng said noncommittally: "Hey, we are friends, so I will tell you what I think." When you want to sell the theater one day, you can come to me. As your friend, I won't let you lose money on price. ā
Hearing Wu Cheng say this, Lei Shidong was silent for a while, and finally said: "Cheng, I know your generosity! Let's go over there for a walk! Actually, I also have some ideas in my heart, can you give me some advice? With your vision and foresight, I think you can definitely give me some reference opinions." ā
"Aren't you afraid that I will rob your business?" Wu Chengxiao asked: "You know, I have already prepared the money and waited for your theater!"
"I'm sure you won't be that kind of person!" Lei Shidong looked at Wu Cheng with a serious look.
Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "I think if Lucas knew that you said this, he would definitely refute it very angrily!
"I believe in my own vision!" he said more seriously.
"Okay! you won!" Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and restrained his joke.
So, the two of them took their glasses and nodded and smiled at the people around them who kept nodding and greeting them, until they came to the grape trellis in the corner with their glasses.
As a result, as soon as the two walked over, they heard a few low gasps and moans in the dim corner of the grape trellis.
"Any idea why I don't like this kind of party so much?
Leaving under the grape trellis, Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said to Lei Shidong.
Lei Shidong smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of thing is actually very common. This is the only thing that doesn't happen at your party. I think I need to learn from you!"
The two found a corner with fewer people and chatted.
"Acceptance, seeing that you are so young, have such achievements, and continue to create miracles, I feel that I should not just let myself go. ā
"Oh, what do you mean?" Wu Cheng was a little surprised.
"Seriously, I did consider changing careers and doing something else, instead of guarding those theaters and living a life of no shocks, no fright, and no surprises. ā
As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Cheng and continued: "I thought about expanding the scale of the industry, but I didn't know where to start for a while. For those of you who make movies, the cinema is the downstream distributor, and it is up to you, the suppliers, to decide what kind of products we sell. I think your development model is worthy of my reference, from upstream suppliers, to downstream channel providers, from the production of products to various sales, your industry has been connected into a close industrial chain, and it can become a country of its own......"
Wu Cheng smiled at the corner of his lips and listened carefully.
In fact, there are many people who can see Wu Cheng's layout, but there are not many people who want to do this, especially the quality of high-class supply.
Hollywood's 'nine major film companies', and currently only one dream factory can guarantee that its profits are rolling every year, and its performance is getting higher and higher year by year.
However, Wu Cheng's shortcomings are also obvious, because his channels are too small.
Because of this, he will focus on the cinema line in Lei Shidong's hands.
Regarding Wu Cheng's fancy to the cinema in his hand, Lei Shidong knows very well in his heart that as long as Wu Cheng owns the cinema in his hand, then the downstream sales channels are almost the same.
"I said, you don't want to start your own film company, do you?"
"Of course not, there are enough Hollywood studios, and I don't have any confidence that I can compete with your dream factories in this area...... In fact, all of Hollywood, all the studios can't guarantee that they can beat DreamWorks. In particular, the momentum shown by DreamWorks in the past two years is simply daunting. ā
"So, what do you like?"
"TV Network!"
āā¦ā¦ā
Wu Cheng was a little confused, is this the situation of Shenma?
In the original time and space, this guy was ready to start a business again, but it was completely because he had experienced a life and death, and he felt that he couldn't waste his time like this anymore...... Even, he regarded that life and death as a kind of alternative new life! That's why he had the strong idea of wanting to start a new business again.
But now, after seeing Wu Cheng becoming more and more successful, he was stimulated, and directly gave birth to the idea that came to him after the original time and space experienced a life and death.
Moreover, in the original time and space, he focused on the TV network, and it was also an idea that he would have a few years after experiencing life and death. But now, he actually set his sights on this piece in advance.
Wu Cheng looked at him strangely and asked, "Why did you fall in love with this piece?"
I saw him shrug his shoulders helplessly and said: "I definitely can't do you when I make movies, even if I have a theater in my own hands, but if the quality of the movie can't be guaranteed, it's useless to have a theater." And in addition to movies, there is only TV, in the TV area, there is only one Oriental TV station under your name, and that Oriental TV station is too small. ā
After a pause, he said: "Your company's sales channels are good, but the products produced in the upstream are actually very limited, which limits your downstream channels." For example, your video company, half of the films sold by your company today are your DreamWorks and Donglong International's own films, and the other part is made by other independent filmmakers or film companies, and there are very few TV series involved...... Because the TV network companies have their own video tape companies......"
Wu Cheng nodded, in fact, he knew in his heart that the TV network is indeed a very important piece, especially in making money.
However, if you want to talk about the export of Chinese culture, then the cinema chain is a crucial part of him at present, at least much more critical than the TV network.
"Which TV network do you value?" Wu Cheng thought for a moment and asked.
"Viacom!" Lei Shidong didn't shy away from his thoughts, and said bluntly: "What do you think of this company?"
āā¦ā¦ā
Wu Cheng had a sense of confusion, he had not experienced the test of life and death, but he actually had such a thought, was it really because of his appearance that it affected his life?
Could it be that because of his own appearance, the original time and space, his life and death test, would not have appeared? Perhaps, his little butterfly, had really unintentionally changed him!
He took a deep breath, showed a strange smile, and said, "Do you believe it? What I wanted to tell you just now is actually the same thing as what you just told me!"
āā¦ā¦ā
This time it's Lei Shidong's turn to be stunned!
"Accept, you don't want me to do this, and then sell the theater chain to you!"
After being stunned for a while, Lei Shidong reacted, stared at Wu Cheng and said.
Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This is what you said!"
He glared at him and said, "Accept, you are too cunning!"
"Haha......" Looking at his staring eyes, Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a while, Wu Chengcai said, "Okay! I admit it, I do have this kind of thought. But I did consider whether to buy this TV network company or buy the cinema chain in your hands. If you buy a TV network company, then I definitely don't have the extra money to buy that theater chain in your hands. And, once you buy a TV network company, it's a question of whether you're going to go to another TV network company to buy it, or when. ā
Lei Shidong nodded, and Wu Cheng continued: "For me, the movie is obviously more important than the TV, so I value the cinema in your hand more...... Although there are many cinema chains in North America, I can find other cinema chains to buy the cinema chains in their hands, but seriously, the cinema chain in your hand and the Anji cinema line in my hand can indeed achieve the best negative supplement. In other words, the cinema chain in your hand is my first choice. ā
Lei Shidong nodded and said, "I think you should have other reasons! After all, the acquisition of a television network company and the acquisition of a theater chain are not irreconcilable contradictions in my opinion, isn't it? Even if there is a problem in terms of funds, I think you have enough ways to solve it! At least those bankers who are waiting for China are very much looking forward to you lending money to them." ā
Speaking of which, Lei Shidong also thinks it is incredible, Wu Cheng's company rarely lends large sums of money to banks. Even if it's DreamWorks, that is, at the beginning, I took out a second loan.
Even, with the amount of liquidity he has now, he can set up a smaller bank if he wants.
If it were another businessman, it is estimated that he would take out a loan from the bank at this time, and then expand his industry aggressively. But Wu Cheng didn't do this, but developed very steadily, and he didn't look anxious at all. Many people don't really understand this. (To be continued.) )
