When Xu Qinning's Gulfstream G650 landed at Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, Cheng Xiaoyu happened to park his car in the Wilmington Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, USA, where the "digital field" is registered in Delaware to avoid taxes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is Monday, and the auction is expected to end on Wednesday, and the bidders are not only Cheng Xiaoyu's "Xichu", but also "Sony", "Warner", "Universal", "Disney" and other large companies, five of the eight major Hollywood companies, plus "Industrial Light & Magic", "Weta Digital" and other Hollywood special effects companies have applied to participate in the auction, most of them are for the "digital field" real-time rendering technology.....

Cheng Xiaoyu, Yi Yunfei, Chen Haoran and Lu Hao just walked into the courthouse hall with the work sign of "Xi Chu", and saw James Walker in a straight suit and Charlize Theron in professional attire.

James Walker was hired as the financial advisor for the acquisition of Xichu, and Cheng Xiaoyu's participation in the auction process was quite tortuous, after the closure of the Digital Realm Group's Florida studio on November 7, and the layoffs of more than 200 people, followed by the resignation of chairman and CEO Dilanco Baz, and on November 22, the company announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection due to cash shortages.

According to the interim report of the Digital Domain Group, the company's total assets are $205 million, total debts are $215 million, and the net loss in the first half of the year is $50.73 million, and two months of wages cannot be paid, which has become the last straw that crushes Hollywood as one of the four major special effects companies......

Because "Wells Fargo" is only one of the creditors of the "digital field", when the "digital field" group sought bankruptcy protection, it unilaterally announced the sale of the company's main operating division, the digital field production business unit, to a private investment company for $15 million to repay debts, and promised to give priority to the return of the revolving credit line of "Wells Fargo" in order to obtain maximum creditor support.

But after James Walker received the news, he immediately notified other creditors and informed that some companies were willing to pay more for the acquisition, which immediately angered other creditors, so a creditor committee was established, and under the operation of James Walker, "Xichu" was nominated to intervene again, with a package offer of 20 million US dollars + part of the debt + debtor possession financing, and once again through the "fake horse bidding" to compete for the Canadian studio and special effects business in the "digital field".

As a result, the fifteen-million deal was not completed due to the existence of other potential offers under the bankruptcy law.

It was in this situation that "Xichu" had the opportunity to bid.

Charlize Theron has been waiting for Cheng Xiaoyu's call, but there has been no news, seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu's company's second movie has been released, and there has been no wind and grass yet, which also makes her a little anxious, but there is no call from Cheng Xiaoyu, and she is even more embarrassed to urge, knowing that there is a chance to see Cheng Xiaoyu at this auction, she specially invited James Walker to bring her.

James Walker didn't know what Charlize Theron was thinking, and he knew that such a stunner would not work in the bank for a long time, and he was willing to fulfill Charlize Theron, so he agreed to Charlize Theron's request without hesitation.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu appear, the two immediately greeted him, the weather in Delaware is colder than in California, Charlize Theron is wearing a beige slim trench coat up to the knees, black high knee-length leather boots tie the legs straight, and at the fork in the front of the coat when she steps, a thigh is exposed, although she is wearing flesh-colored pantyhose, she also looks like a pair of plump thighs are full of elasticity, which makes the whole deserted hall suddenly boiling.......

After the warm greeting, Cheng Xiaoyu introduced Chen Haoran to James Walker and Charlize Theron, and Chen Haoran came to this auction to meet the world under the name of CEO of "Voice of Rain".

When several people stood in the hall to greet each other, a group of people wearing uniform black suits also walked into the hall, one carrying a briefcase in his hand, some holding a computer, and some hanging a camera, which seemed to be a very professional bidding team......

James Walker whispered in Cheng Xiaoyu's ear and pointed to the neon man who led the team and said: "This is Kenichiro Takahashi, the vice president of 'Sony Pictures', and the tall man behind him is Tony Wilby, the head of 'Sony Digital Graphics', and they have also shown full interest in the 'digital field'......."

Compared with 'Xichu', there are only four people, and one is a bodyguard, Yi Yunfei on the side said sourly: "The pomp and circumstance are still quite imposing. ”

Kenichiro Takahashi, a middle-aged man with a horse face who was not very tall, also saw James Walker standing in the center of the hall, saw him standing with several Asians, obviously froze, and glanced at James Walker, so he immediately walked over, greeted James Walker first, and then said: "Mr. James, no wonder you want to spoil Dilanco Buzz's good deeds, it turned out to be for the hot newcomer king in Hollywood......."

James Walker was willing to admit that he had done it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Xiaoyu is a big customer of our Wells Fargo Bank, and he is not very familiar with the auction of American assets, so he specially entrusted our bank to assist in the bidding, and I was just arranged by the above.......

Others may not recognize Cheng Xiaoyu, but as a neon person, Kenichiro Takahashi is very familiar with Cheng Xiaoyu, he laughed, glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu, and then said with contempt: "Three hundred million dollars...... It can indeed be called a big customer......"

Not to mention that Kenichiro Takahashi and Peter Kopla have a good personal relationship, some time ago, the company's A-level film "Future Men 3 - The Day of the Apocalypse" was pressed under Cheng Xiaoyu's small-budget movie "Horror Movie", and he also held his breath.

So as soon as Kenichiro Takahashi met Cheng Xiaoyu, he looked disdainful, eager to trample Cheng Xiaoyu under his feet, and at this time, the "Sony" staff behind Kenichiro Takahashi also cooperated with mocking laughter...... 300 million US dollars is really not a big amount for "Sony".

Cheng Xiaoyu pretended not to know the identity of the other party and turned to James Walker and asked, "Who is this?"

James Walker smiled very embarrassedly and said: "Mr. Cheng, this is Mr. Kenichiro Takahashi, the vice president of 'Sony' Pictures......" Kenichiro Takahashi is one of the eight major Hollywood "Sony Pictures", and the parent company "Sony" is the world's largest multinational group company, so he naturally has arrogant capital, and as a banker, he is not very easy to offend Takahashi Kenichiro.

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Mr. Takahashi......." showed a playful smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Kenichiro Takahashi.

Even if Cheng Xiaoyu's "Horror Movie" has a box office of more than 300 million, Kenichiro Takahashi will not fall in love with this director who seems to rely on opportunism to achieve success, and he doesn't believe that Cheng Xiaoyu will give up "Universal" and cooperate with "Sony" instead, so he put his hand behind his back, glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu and said: "I won't shake hands with the murderer......."

The scene became very embarrassing for a while.......

Cheng Xiaoyu withdrew his hand disapprovingly, smiled and said: "I won't think that neon people are uneducated because of your impoliteness, because I also have a lot of good neon friends, and I am relieved to see that 'Sony' has a bureaucrat like you......."

Kenichiro Takahashi said contemptuously: "Don't say that you seem to be worthy of being our 'Sony' opponent, a small company like yours is just a flea, and if you crush it, it will be wiped out......."

Cheng Xiaoyu sneered: "Your entire 'Sony' company's annual profit is not as much as ours little flea, it's really sad......"

Chen Haoran on the side added: "It's not a year, Sony hasn't made a profit since 08...... has been losing money for five years, ...... because Cheng Xiaoyu told Chen Haoran that "Sony" is one of their potential opponents in the acquisition of "EMI", and Chen Haoran has been studying "Sony", so he understands it more clearly......

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Mr. Takahashi, remember to come to me when 'Sony' goes out of business, and I will give you a job as a janitor...... After all, your screams are still quite scary......"

After Cheng Xiaoyu finished speaking, a chuckle sounded around him, and he said, where is Cheng Xiaoyu's opponent, Cheng Xiaoyu was sarcastically regarded as a dog, but there was no way to ridicule him, his face was blue with anger, and he said coldly: "You will pay the price for today's presumptuousness, let's see ...... later"

After finishing speaking, Kenichiro Takahashi turned around and left, without saying hello to James Walker, and no longer giving Cheng Xiaoyu a chance to talk back, leaving Cheng Xiaoyu with an incomparably strong back......

Cheng Xiaoyu and the others watched a large group of people from "Sony" walking towards the elevator, and Yi Yunfei on the side smiled and said: "Your mouth is too powerful, if I were Takahashi, I would probably have ...... heart to devour you alive."

James Walker shook his head and said, "Mr. Cheng, there is really no need for you to set up a powerful enemy like 'Sony'....... Don't think that big companies won't make shady tricks, and they can be mixed into the Hollywood Big Six, and they must not be underestimated........"

Cheng Xiaoyu patted James Walker on the shoulder and said with a relaxed face: "I don't have any possibility of peaceful coexistence with 'Sony', this is just the beginning......"

James Walker looked at Cheng Xiaoyu puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to say anything about buying "Baidai" now, but just blinked his eyes and said, "Then you will know why.......

After speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu also took the lead and walked towards the elevator, the bankruptcy trading center located on the third floor of the bankruptcy court, where is the real battlefield today........
