Goldman Sachs is extremely well-known in the industry, even more famous than companies such as Lehman Brothers of the same strength. And the biggest reason is that once they have received a formal commission, they have never failed in decades!

What could be more memorable for a business than that reputation?

Zhang Fan, who has already determined to get the shares of Alibaba, is already more optimistic about spending money at this time. Although the cost of the cinema chain is large, its significance to the film company is far more important than the cost. For this reason, Zhang Fan is willing to spend money, and he is the kind that spends money to buy time.

"Mr. Zhang, this is information about AMC Cinemas. David Lawrence put the tablet in his hand on the table in front of Zhang Fan with great interest, "We Goldman Sachs are very willing to take this order." ”

Goldman Sachs is indeed willing to accept this order, because AMC Cinemas has been drained by its group over the years, which has caused increasingly difficult operations, and its debts have reached as much as 500 million US dollars. Moreover, the group company to which it belongs no longer pays attention to the industry, and is ready to sell this company, which is important for the film industry but has little meaning for other industries.

With such a voice that can be done almost easily, Goldman Sachs naturally has no intention of refusing. They do business for a commission, and it's worth a lot of money.

"Good. After carefully learning about the information of AMC Cinema Company, Zhang Fan put down the tablet and nodded slightly, "The specific price of this business and what it is divided into will be negotiated with you by my lawyer and financial assistant." And I have one request now, and the only one I have to make for this acquisition. ”

"Speak. David Lawrence looked at Zhang Fan with a serious expression, he knew that this was the most difficult part of this business. A company like AMC Cinemas, which is not very difficult to get, does not have to be done by Goldman Sachs. Whether it's Lehman Brothers or JPMorgan Chase, you can do it. The key to the matter lies in Zhang Fan's request.

"I hope this acquisition will be completed within two weeks. Zhang Fan smiled and raised his hand to stop David Lawrence, who wanted to speak, "I know that time is tight and the task is heavy." But I will increase the commission. ”

Yes, something that can be solved in one sentence. As long as Zhang Fan increases the commission, what was originally extremely important will become not so important. There was no longer even a need to do any more mobilization conversations, and David Lawrence nodded vigorously. Goldman Sachs will not disappoint its valued clients!

For so many years, Goldman Sachs has never let its clients down. As long as the customer can afford to pay for it, they can do it! This is an incomparably powerful force and execution, and the strength of this company is simply unimaginable!

Cinema companies are not very profitable, but the expenses are not small, except for groups with strong strength, there are few people who maintain a large cinema chain year after year. And compared to those large companies, although the scale of the cinema company is not large, at least the price of billions of dollars is still indispensable.

People who are not interested will not come to buy it, but those who are interested in film companies cannot buy it because of the antitrust law. In this case, these theater companies have become a kind of chicken ribs. And this is a good thing for Zhang Fan, because he only needs to spend money to be able to buy the theater chain that is very important to him, and he doesn't need to do a lot of complicated work, and it is very likely that he can't buy it.

Goldman Sachs' efficiency is indeed beyond words, and their ability to do things also makes all clients very satisfied.

It was just over a week before David Lawrence called Zhang Fan and told him that the matter had been done and that he could now send his lawyers and financial assistants to Goldman Sachs to discuss the acquisition of AMC Cinemas.

Goldman Sachs offered a total of $3.4 billion for AMC Cinemas. Of that amount, $2.6 billion is the price of the wholly-owned acquisition, and $500 million is to pay off debts owed by AMC Cinemas. Another $300 million is Goldman Sachs' commission this time.

This price is actually not expensive, because Zhang Fan asked for a tight time, and Goldman Sachs used more resources. The reason why they didn't ask for more money was because there were too many shrewd people in Goldman Sachs, and they had already seen some clues from Zhang Fan's constant actions. For a larger business in the future, Goldman Sachs is willing to charge less income for the sake of friendship with Zhang Fan at this time.

For this price, Zhang Fan also recognizes. If you just rely on movie income, this price will almost absorb all the funds in Zhang Fan's hands. However, because of his previous success in the investment market and the increasing number of things that can be used as collateral, Zhang Fan's loans at Citibank have also increased significantly.

After securing a loan of $3 billion from Citibank again, Zhang Fan successfully won the AMC Cinema Company. Since then, Zhang Fan finally has the real power in his hands to confront several major Hollywood giant film companies. After having their own theaters, the tried and tested tricks of those Hollywood giant companies against small and medium-sized film companies completely failed in front of Zhang Fan.

When the news of Zhang Fan's media group's acquisition of AMC Cinemas broke, the entire North American film market was in an uproar.

Several giant companies were panicked, they really didn't expect Zhang Fan to develop so fast. In such a short period of time, it can have the strength to win the AMC Cinema Company. It's just unbelievable.

Winning the theater chain is not a simple thing. It's not that buying a theater is all right. It also requires continuous investment and operation to be able to sustain it, and the cost of maintaining a cinema chain every year is also a very staggering figure. For a theater chain of the scale of AMC Cinema Company, even the best giants will feel very difficult.

Other companies were very surprised that Zhang Fan could have such financial resources, but Disney was psychologically prepared. Because only they knew that Zhang Fan had made a lot of money in the gold futures market before, the cost of buying AMC Cinemas was nothing at all.

And the other two large cinema companies also regretted it after learning the news. Under pressure, they had to abandon their previous contract with Zhang Fan and compensate for liquidated damages and the loss of the company's reputation. However, Zhang Fan bought AMC Cinema Company with his backhand, which made all these previous practices a joke. After scolding the Hollywood film companies that put pressure on them, the two major theater chains found Zhang Fan again and wanted to reinstate the previous release contract for the Avengers. Everyone can see that this movie that gathers a large number of superheroes will inevitably set off a super storm!

In addition to the two major cinema chains, many other small and medium-sized cinema chains that had to refuse Zhang Fan's request to set up a temporary cinema chain under pressure also came to the door again to cooperate. After all, no one is at odds with money. Now when Zhang Fan owns AMC Cinema Company in his hands, it has become a joke to suppress Zhang Fan with a cinema chain.

For these cinema companies, Zhang Fan did not refuse stiffly. Instead, after increasing their share, they actively chose to allow them to join. It's just that secretly, Zhang Fan has begun to gradually acquire those small and medium-sized cinemas that have good locations in important cities. He wants to make AMC Cinemas the No. 1 in the world!

Several large Hollywood film companies are really scratching their heads, after Zhang Fan has a theater chain in his hands, it is not them who will suppress Zhang Fan, the theater company has more than 5,000 screens, and it is impossible for any film company to turn a blind eye.

After solving the problem of the theater chain, Zhang Fan went to a big machine music company.

Previously, Zhang Fan produced an album for Moldy Taylor Swift, and decided to take a stake in her company if the sales could exceed 8 million copies. Now that the album has officially started its release, it has successfully landed on the Billboard title in its first week and sold over a million copies on its first day!

As sales continued to climb, Taylor Swift was excited about his earnings and the surge in fame. On the other hand, he regretted signing a contract with Zhang Fan agreeing to buy shares. But now she doesn't dare to regret it, after all, Zhang Fan is not an ordinary little person at this time. He is a person who has a huge influence in Hollywood.

If Taylor Swift wants to tear up the contract, let's not talk about the legal side of things. Zhang Fan's revenge alone is not something she can fight.

Before he couldn't find a good solution after thinking about it, Taylor Swift decided to ask Zhang Fan to discuss.

"Zhang, thank you so much for making this album for me. In the room belonging to Taylor Swift, this beautiful woman with countless fans came to Zhang Fan's side with whiskey and thanked Zhang Fan with silky eyes.

"It's the little things. Zhang Fan smiled and took the wine glass, "Then can we talk about the things we agreed on next?"

Taylor Swift's album is now approaching the 9 million mark in physical sales alone, and it has already exceeded 10 million if it is downloaded online. It's a veritable super hit. Although the money made by the music company is not much for Zhang Fan at this time, it is better than nothing. Zhang Fan wouldn't mind any piece of meat that could be eaten, even if it was just the size of a mosquito's leg.

"Zhang, I want to discuss it with you. Taylor Swift bit his red lip, "The share ratio of the previous shares is too high, can you reduce it some?"

Taylor Swift tried to use her charm to get some shares back from Zhang Fan, and she didn't want to give Zhang Fan too much.

It's a pity that Taylor Swift's charm may be very bad for many men. But Zhang Fan's side has never lacked beauty. This kind of beauty trick is of no use to him at all.
