"What are you talking about my songs?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"Haha~~~" Black Aunt Oprah immediately laughed heroically, "Today's theme is to talk about you, everything about you is what the audience wants to know." ”

"I'm sorry." Zhang Fan's expression instantly became serious, "I will never reveal anything about my private life." ”

"Hahaha~~~" The scene resounded with laughter. Americans attach great importance to personal privacy, and private life is not allowed to be disclosed at all, except for their own initiative to expose it. Otherwise, wait to be charged. Zhang Fan is obviously enlivening the atmosphere.

"Well, we're not going to talk about your private life today." Oprah waved his hand, "Continuing with the previous topic, why is this Frozen so popular?" ”

"In addition to what I said before, there is another important point." Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "The agreement with Disney has attracted the attention of many audiences. Many people may have walked into the cinema just to see this animated film that has an agreement with Disney. Here, I would like to thank Disney again. ”

Zhang Fan is not joking when he says this, but attacking Disney as much as possible to weaken his power. If you want to deal with a behemoth like Disney, you can't let go of any opportunity to attack him.

"Are you really going to buy Pixar as promised?" Oprah asked a question that many people are concerned about: "Aren't you worried about Disney's retaliation?" ”

"If I don't buy Pixar, Disney will retaliate against me." Zhang Fan nodded in response, "Moreover, I can't go against the spirit of the contract." ”

Once a formal contract has been signed, it must be observed, which is the spirit of the contract. If you don't, you lose credit. And in this part of the United States, losing credit is a terrible thing.

When Zhang Fan said this, he also told everyone from another aspect that he would not give up Pixar.

"Can you buy Pixar with your current wealth?" Oprah asked curiously, "Although several of your movies are very profitable and have a high box office." But that's three billion dollars. ”

"I don't really have three billion dollars." Zhang Fan nodded confidently, "But I can get help from supporters." ”

Zhang Fan really can't come up with $3 billion now. Although several movies have high box office, not all of them have fallen into his hands. The production costs invested before also include publicity costs, cinema chains have to share money, and they have to pay taxes, etc. The money that can really fall into Zhang Fan's hands is not so much at the box office.

But although Zhang Fan doesn't have enough money, the bank has money. And what banks like the most is to lend to people like Zhang Fan who have the ability to repay and have high-quality assets as collateral.

After the previous box office dividends arrived, Zhang Fan returned all the money he had borrowed from Citi early in the morning. Because as his sales have increased, the rights to adapt these movies have also risen, and they have exceeded the value of his loans.

You can borrow more money by paying off old debts first and then borrowing them as collateral.

Although three billion US dollars is much, Zhang Fan can still borrow it based on his current income and collateral. If it really doesn't work, Zhang Fan can use the method of borrowing money first and then mortgaging. borrowed three billion to buy Pixar first, and then mortgaged Pixar. This method of borrowing money is popular in the United States, provided that you can buy a high-quality asset.

Banks all over the world are the same, they are risk-averse and choose promising projects to invest in. This is the phenomenon that it is easier for the rich to borrow money, while the poor are not even able to receive a call to borrow. It is not unique to Huaxia Bank.

"Do you think you can beat Disney?" Oprah went on to ask, "What is Disney's market capitalization now, 40 billion?" ”

"Soon it won't be." Zhang Fan is full of confidence: "After I buy Pixar, Disney's stock price will definitely fall." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen." Oprah suddenly turned his head to look at the camera lens, "Everyone heard, if you have Disney stock in your hands, let's get rid of it now." ”

In fact, Disney's stock has already begun to fall, even as the box office of Frozen continues to climb, Disney's stock price has begun to fall. Everyone knows that Disney will definitely be affected greatly after losing Pixar.

After Zhang Fan was convinced that he must buy Pixar, Disney's stock price fell like an avalanche.

Disney, which has lost Pixar, will see its stock price fall, but it won't fall like this. This is obviously someone manipulating the stock price to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit. Disney is worse this time.

"This bastard !!" At Disney's top management, shareholders were furious again.

For shareholders, the share price is their lifeline. is the embodiment of their assets. A drop in the stock price means a shrinkage of assets, and anyone with a shrinking asset would be very angry, and these Disney shareholders are no exception.

"We're going to make him pay!" At this time, shouting like this is essential, and there are more people shouting to retaliate against Zhang Fan. The meeting room is as bustling as a huge wet market. Every shareholder is trying his best to vent his anger.

"Crowne." The pale-faced chairman of the board of directors looked at Crawn and asked in a deep voice, "Is there really no other way to make Zhang Fan change his mind?" ”

"Nope." Clun shook his head vigorously, he didn't tell these shareholders that Zhang Fan's goal was actually the whole of Disney, because he didn't believe it now, "His attitude is very resolute, he must take Pixar." ”

"Then give it to him!" The chairman of the board of directors slapped the table hard, "We can't continue like this, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise our stock price will continue to fluctuate!" ”

So far, Disney's stock price has been declining, and it has evaporated billions of market value. It also means that the wealth of these shareholders has shrunk by billions. If this matter continues to be as entangled as it is now, it will fluctuate in the future. It's better to just cut through the mess and end it later.

"How can that work?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Disney can't live without Pixar!"

"This bastard!"

"I disagree!"

The words of the chairman of the board of directors instantly detonated the conference room, and many shareholders expressed their opposition. After all, they are all well aware of the importance of Pixar. And if Pixar is divested, the stock price will inevitably continue to fall sharply.

"Enough!" The chairman of the board of directors slapped the table again and glared at the shareholders, "If you hadn't coveted Zhang Fan's adaptation rights and had to sign an agreement, where would there be now!" ”

When the agreement was signed, these shareholders thought that Zhang Fan had lost, and they naturally agreed with this kind of thing. But now that things have turned around, they can't bear it.

"This matter must be closed immediately, otherwise the company's stock price will continue to operate to an unbearable level!" The chairman of the board of directors sighed heavily, "Let's vote." ”

The vote here is not a show of hands as a vote at the congress, but the vote here is calculated according to shares. Whoever has more shares will have power when he speaks.

As a result of the vote, more than 70 percent of the owners agreed to transfer Pixar to Zhang Fan, thus ending the turmoil as soon as possible. Although the other shareholders who oppose are dissatisfied, the lack of shares means that there is not enough voice. No matter how much you oppose it, there is no way.

After the result of this matter, the chairman of the board of directors said viciously, "This matter is not played!" Zhang Fan dared to do this to Disney, we must not let him go! From now on, Disney will comprehensively block Zhang Fan! Until he went bankrupt and had to spit Pixar out! ”

"No!" Some shareholders immediately objected: "Even if he spits out Pixar, he can't let him go!" ”

"That's right! He must not be let go! ”

"We must make him a pauper!"

"Get him out of Hollywood!"

The board of directors, who have always had different purposes, reached a rare consensus on this matter this time, and they had the same hatred to deal with Zhang Fan. It's just that if Zhang Fan was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be where he is today!

As time goes by, the box office of even the best movies will gradually fall. Frozen is no exception. However, although the screen of this animated film has been drastically reduced and the box office revenue is also declining, it is still stubbornly crawling towards the global box office of $1.1 billion. This animated film has already made illustrious history. Every step forward now is a huge step forward.

Such a brilliant movie, coupled with the previous agreement between Zhang Fan and Disney about Pixar. It has already attracted the attention of the world. This is also the reason why Disney has many methods that cannot be used.

Although the box office is no longer so important at this time, Zhang Fan still hopes that this movie can get higher and higher box office as much as possible. These box offices not only mean more income for Zhang Fan, but also a huge fame bonus.

The more famous Zhang Fan becomes, the more Disney does not dare to use some shady means.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations on the success of your work." When Zhang Fan came to Citibank again, it was still Christian Peck who received him again. As soon as they met, Christian congratulated Zhang Fan and congratulated him on the success of his film.

"Thank you." Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "Thank you to Citibank for your financial support, otherwise the production cost of this movie will be very troublesome." ”

"Haha~~ Our bank's favorite thing to do is to provide support to potential people like Mr. Zhang." Christian laughed and responded, "Mr. Zhang came to our Citibank today, I don't know what to do?" ”

In fact, what Zhang Fan is doing here, Christian knows very well. He knew that Zhang Fan was here to borrow money to buy Pixar, but when talking about business, he would definitely put himself in a more appropriate position. Instead of coming up and saying I know you're going to buy Pixar, we're rooting for you or something. Then it directly reveals its bottom line.

"It's simple." Zhang Fan did not pretend to be false, and directly expressed his meaning: "I am here to seek support from Citibank." ”
