At this time, Zhang Fan's Alibaba shares were mortgaged to Citibank, and if he wanted to sell, he had to redeem the shares first.

In other words, Zhang Fan can only sell stocks after repaying the loan and interest. This kind of thing seems a bit troublesome, but for the professionals invited by Zhang Fan, there are contingency methods.

The idea they gave Zhang Fan was very simple, first mortgage the Disney Company in his hand to Citibank.

After the merger of Pixar and its own film company into Disney, Disney's asset valuation has skyrocketed. The mortgage of more than 40 billion is a small problem. After getting the money from Citibank, you don't need to take it out, you can directly go through the transfer procedures at Citibank and redeem the shares of Alibaba that were previously mortgaged.

After redeeming the shares, he sold them to Alibaba to buy them back, and after getting the $60 billion money, he went to Citibank to redeem the Disney that he had mortgaged before.

This is a left-handed game for right-handed, but after deducting all the expenses back and forth, Zhang Fan can still have more than 10 billion dollars in his hands. This is a huge amount of money, and many wealthy people with a lot of money have a lot of fixed assets, where can they have so much cash flow. After all, the businessmen believed that money only made sense when it flowed, and that money was only depreciating when it was there.

Zhang Fan relied on his golden finger to obtain a world-class media group for himself, and at the same time, he also left a large amount of cash to enjoy life. Not to mention anything else, at least Zhang Fan will not be short of money to spend in his life.

got such a large sum of money, Zhang Fan's mood was naturally very happy. With money, it is not his character not to spend. As for leaving his children or something, don't say that he doesn't have children yet, even if he does, he just needs to leave enough life expenses, and there is no need to leave everything. The most important thing is to enjoy life on your own.

I'm ready to enjoy life, but I still have to work until then.

After reorganizing the entire company, Disney, which had been transformed into a private company, started again. I shot five big-budget movies in one go!

In addition to Finding Nemo, an animated film belonging to Pixar, Disney will also invest in Iron Man III, Pirates of the Caribbean II, Harry Potter I and The Hunger Games I.

These five films are all really big productions, and the production cost alone is as high as more than a billion dollars!

Even if The Hunger Games were Paris Hilton's investment, Disney would have to pay close to a billion dollars to make the films. If the huge expenditure is unbearable, even a few giant companies in Hollywood cannot afford it, the whole of Hollywood will be shocked by Zhang Fan's generosity.

In Hollywood, even a few big companies can't make every movie a big production. More of them shoot small and medium-budget films, and more than 95% of the number of films invested in this scale accounts for each year. Only a small percentage of films are big productions with big budgets. Because no one knows if it will be successful or whether it will be able to recover its investment cost until the movie is released.

The company is mainly based on stable profits. Although it is very unlikely that a small or medium-sized investment film will make a lot of money, it is more likely that it will recover its cost or even make a small profit after a large number of films. Don't think that Hollywood makes blockbuster movies, the most they make every year are small-budget movies.

And things like Zhang Fan, who don't care about anything and are all big productions, have never appeared in the history of Hollywood. The person who starts a company has to calculate the cost. Once a big production with a huge investment fails and fails to recover its costs, all the investment will be wasted.

Movies are a very special commodity. Other goods have a certain value in any case, but after the movie is shot at a huge cost, it is just a reel of film. If you can't sell at the box office when you enter the cinema, it's film. Real money is invested in and lost, and no one can hold on.

The normal way of operating film companies is to focus on small-budget films, and the number of them is impacting. There are only a few big productions. Zhang Fan has created a new situation this time.

Regarding these outside discussions, Zhang Fan was unimpressed. If he also runs the company in the ordinary way, he will naturally do the same thing as other companies. After all, this is a method that has been practiced for many years. But he has a golden finger, and with a golden finger, he is still careful to operate like other companies, so what does he need a golden finger for?

If it weren't for the capacity of the market and the inability to arrange the working hours of important actors, Zhang Fan couldn't wait to shoot all the excellent works in one go.

What Zhang Fan wants now is to shoot other people's movies, so that others have no films to make!

Disney is the core of Zhang Fan's planned media group, and its core business is movies. Even Disneyland revolves around movies. Just like after Zhang Fan bought Disney, the senior management of Disneyland immediately asked for the internal exchange of the rights of Pirates of the Caribbean and the opening of a special area for Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland. Even the sailboats used to make the movie were ready to be towed to Disneyland.

Pixar's animated films don't have to be bothered, Zhang Fan gives the script, and the rest is run by Pixar's professionals.

As for the other movies, Zhang Fan handed them over to special personnel to do. has a perfect script and sufficient financial support, and does not need Zhang Fan to do it himself. The only ones who are truly hands-on are the Hunger Games.

The real popularity of the Hunger Games movie is in North America, because the real connotation of this movie is to promote feminism. North America is the place where feminism is most severe in the world.

Zhang Fan's meaning for making such a movie is very simple, that is, to make money. He doesn't have any idea of promoting feminism, this movie has Paris Hilton to contribute, he just needs to follow the money, and he still takes the lion's share. How could such a good thing be refused?

As for Paris Hilton, Zhang Fan has always liked this kind of smart and beautiful woman. It's just that this beautiful woman herself is very rich and well-informed, and it is not easy to win her.

"Zhang, congratulations. In the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, Paris Hilton walked up to Zhang Fan with a smile on his face and gave him a hug. I can't see the anger I was at all because I was asked by Zhang Fan to pay for a movie.

Zhang Fan raised his hand and wanted to take the opportunity to grab Paris Hilton's slender waist, but she flashed it without a trace.

"Thank you. Zhang Fan smiled and walked into the room, "Is there any wine?"

"What do you want to drink?" Paris Hilton smirked, "I still have a bottle of '82 red wine here." ”

"No, I don't. Zhang Fan shook his head and refused, "I don't know how to taste wine, it's a waste to give me such a good drink." A glass of whiskey is enough. ”

"Ha~~~," Paris Hilton chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you can taste wine or not." In fact, apart from those who actually do the business, very few people can tell what makes the difference between the various liquors. It's expensive because only people like us can drink them. ”

Paris Hilton brought a bottle of 82-year-old red wine and two wine glasses and put them in front of Zhang Fan: "Although these luxury goods are few, if we don't consume them, they can't be sold." To be wealthy is to have this responsibility to consume luxuries. ”

"You actually said so much truth. Zhang Fan shook his head, reached out and picked up the corkscrew and was about to open the red wine. However, before opening it, he stopped moving, and turned his head to look at Paris Hilton on the side in confusion: "Is this bottle of wine your treat or do I pay for it?"

"Huh?" Paris Hilton was stunned by the question, and then reacted by raising his head and covering his mouth and laughing, "It's just a bottle of red wine, you actually." I really don't know what to say. You're a billionaire. I invited you here today, and of course it's mine. ”

Hundreds of thousands of bottles of red wine are indeed nothing to Zhang Fan. He was just making fun of it to liven up the atmosphere. After all, he really doesn't like and red wine.

Because he did not have the cultivation and environmental atmosphere since childhood, Zhang Fan himself has no interest in red wine. If you say that it is okay to drink Chinese liquor or beer, after all, this is something he has been exposed to since he was a child. As for red wine, he doesn't touch it when he can't drink it. Otherwise, with Zhang Fan's net worth, millions of out-of-print red wine can be drunk.

Westerners have grown up in a wine-drinking atmosphere, so their wine culture is thriving. The Chinese people, on the other hand, grew up in the atmosphere of baijiu, and the Chinese people prefer baijiu.

Another interesting example is China's neighbor, the Cosmos.

Everyone knows that the specialty of the universe country is kimchi. In the TV series, when eating in a restaurant, there are always dozens of small plates that look very hearty, but in fact they are just pickles.

The children of the Cosmic Kingdom don't like to eat kimchi since they were young, after all, it's okay to eat this thing once in a while, but if you really want to eat it every day, no one likes it. In order to make these children like to eat kimchi from an early age, the people of the universe country continue to instill in them the concept that kimchi is delicious and nutritious. After saying this for a few years or so, I naturally like to eat it when I grow up.

After years of indoctrination, the children of the Kimchi Country, no, the children of the Cosmic Country have grown up to eat kimchi. This is a typical environmental impact.

When the wine is opened, the aroma is indeed very strong. Shake the glass and you can see the red wine hanging like silk on top of the glass. Take a sip and the mellow sensation will be endless. No wonder the price is so expensive, and it makes sense.

"I invite you here today mainly to talk about that movie. Paris Hilton sat next to Zhang Fan, and a fragrance came to his face.
