Chapter 120: Buying and the Warmth in My Heart
"There is no big or small business, interests are the most important, and it is just a joke to do big without interests!"
Putting the cigarette butt still in the sea, looking at the blue sea, George stretched his waist and looked at Xiang Thirteen, who was standing beside him and quietly watching him.
"We heard that Qiao Sheng has a part of CAA's shares in his hands, 300 million US dollars, but we don't know what Qiao Sheng means. ”
Looking at George who was comfortable at Xiang Thirteen, he stretched out his hand to brush his long hair, so that the scattered long hair blown by the sea breeze became neat, and looked at George with a smile on his face.
“CAA?
It's really well-informed, and it's a good idea, if I'm not mistaken, this idea must have been in Xiang Sheng's mind for quite some time. ”
George was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face did not change, looking at Xiang Thirteen's hand holding the cigar trembling slightly, knowing what he was worried about, a young person with an amazing background who did not like others to know too much about him, and he was most disgusted that someone was secretly touching his bottom.
It's just that this time George didn't care that he was investigating himself, some things can't be hidden, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, everything is not a problem, and when others are investigating him, he will also investigate others.
What's more important is that the matter of holding CAA shares in his hands is not something that can be found out by investigating himself, and his relationship with CAA was obtained in front of others when he sold his shares after Michael Owitz and others left CAA, and he knew very little about this matter, even Xiao Lizi, who was often with him for fun, did not know about it, which was also the confidence that he dared to bring Lin Xilei to the United States.
If Xiang Thirteen hadn't coveted CAA and done some investigation, he wouldn't have gotten any news just by investigating these things.
"Xiangjiang is too small, and after more than ten years of madness, all major box offices have begun to formulate rules to protect local films, and have begun to boycott Xiangjiang films.
As long as anyone with a little vision knows that the decline of Xiangjiang films is inevitable, Golden Harvest since 96, except for one old boy, there are no other films to shoot, only relying on copyright and theaters to maintain, Yongsheng's film volume in recent years has also been declining sharply.
As the number of films decreases, so will revenue, and the stock price of Yongsheng has been falling in recent years, and we have to make changes.
The market in the north is still immature, Europe has been occupied by literary films, and a group of self-righteous filmmakers are constantly complacent to themselves, so we have no choice but to look to the United States, which has a large number of Chinese.
It's just that after all these years of development, although the Big Six are still giants on the surface, they are the three major brokerage companies that really control Hollywood behind them, and we have also acquired several small brokerage companies to successfully push Ajie to Hollywood, but the results are not optimistic, and Orientals are naked discrimination in Hollywood.
As an Angeleno, Jossen should be most familiar with this situation, and in order to change this, we must be participants in the game, not the dominated.
However, after some contact, the results were not very good, and by chance, I learned from Applejack's agent that some of the shares of CAA had been sold after Michael Owitz and Longmeyer left, only to be bought by a mysterious buyer.
I hired an investigation company in the United States, and after more than half a year of investigation and spent a lot of money, I found out the boss behind the company. ”
Seeing that George was not angry, still smiling and waiting for his next words, he was relieved to boldly start to tell, many times black is black, not that you can be bright after bleaching, that is only relative to some people, for a smaller part of people, they are still black, no matter what efforts are made, there will still be no change.
It just so happens that according to the summary of the news he learned from all sides, it came to the conclusion that George is one of the small group of people, and the most important thing is that George is a young man, and the moodiness and scruples of young people have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is the most uncertain about playing with people's hearts, although he has been deliberately maintaining equal communication since they met, only he knows how nervous he is.
"Family"
Hearing Xiang Thirteen's words, George suddenly fell into deep thought, the family was named by him because of his mother and sister's dependence on each other, and he also borrowed 70 million US dollars from Watt Smith for his sister and bought it with some of his own cash, who made his sister the most Mi Tom Cruise at that time.
As the illegitimate son of Watt Smith, a person who has lived in Los Angeles for many years and cannot take advantage of the power of the Watt family, and who has not had much contact in Hollywood except for a few friends, it is really difficult and difficult to fulfill the dream of his sister meeting and eating with his idol.
If it weren't for Michael Owitz, who had left CAA to work at Disney at that time, he was going to sell a part of his shares in CAA for some reason, and George happened to know through some gossip that he wanted to fulfill his sister's dream and didn't know how long he would have to wait.
One to sell, one to buy, through Wattsmith's relationship George and Michael Owitz contacted, and the price was much higher than the other buyer, the whole transaction in the case of they met once, under George's high price very naturally completed the transaction, although George's premium was more than double that part of the shares, at that time the two pillars jumped ship, the customer continued to lose, the valuation has fallen to a market low, made a big mistake.
But George didn't regret it, in his heart, as long as his family was safe and happy, everything was worth it, this was also the origin of the family, and it was also an adult gift he prepared for his sister, if it wasn't for the thirteen mention, he found out that since he completed his sister's dream of eating with Tom Cruise and taking photos with the help of CAA, he has not paid attention to this company, although he has received its dividends in his account for the past two years.
"Qiao Sheng, we are very sincere, I hope you can seriously consider it. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't sell it to you. ”
George thought of his sister who was slowly estranged from him because of the lack of company after he got into the stock market, it was a gift to her, and it was the first time for him to fulfill his sister's dream with his own efforts, which meant a lot to him, and in his heart, it was not something that money could replace.
"CAA's equity is of no use in the hands of Qiao Sheng, it is just an investment for you, but it means something different to us, it is very significant, it can allow Hong Kong artists to go to Hollywood more smoothly, where they are treated relatively fairly.
If it's a matter of price, we can talk about it, and Mr. George can say a number, and as long as we can accept it, we will definitely not make a counteroffer. ”
