The next morning, Fang Jianhui took Vivien Fang into the Fox building.

"Look, who is that?" passerby A stabbed passerby B.

Passerby B: "Huh, am I blind?"

Along the way, everyone paid attention to Vivien and whispered. Fang Jianhui, as the chief boss of Fox, said that these people did not dare to point fingers, and it was really too much of a shock for Fei Wenfang.

The goddess has only been dead for more than ten years, and her masterpieces such as "Gone with the Wind", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Soul Broken Blue Bridge" and other classic films are still repeatedly broadcast on TV, and almost everyone who knows a little about the film industry has an impression of her.

Twentieth Century Fox, as a leader in the film industry, has a high level of film literacy in each of its employees, and knows her very well. Now suddenly a beautiful woman with more than ninety percent resemblance to the goddess came out, and she was holding the big boss Fang Jianhui tightly, how could you let them hold back and not talk about it?

Fang Jianhui went up to the top floor, and before he entered the office, William didn't know where he came from.

He looked at Fei Wenfang straightly, and suddenly knelt down: "Goddess!"

Fei Wenfang was startled by his movements and quickly hid behind Fang Jianhui.

Fang Jianhui sweated for a moment: "Classmate William, pay attention to your image." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. William immediately got up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and smiled: "Hello boss, Miss Vivien Leigh is good!"

"She's not called Vivien Leigh, she's called Vivien Fang. Fang Jianhui corrected him, then pulled Fei Wenfang out and introduced her: "Fangfang, this is William, the president of our angel investment. ”

Fei Wenfang stretched out her hand: "President William, hello." ”

William looked at the little hand stretched out in front of him, his body was trembling, and he rubbed his hand on the corner of his pants a few times, and grasped it.

Vivien Fang looked at William's pig brother, shook it lightly, and immediately retracted her hand.

Fang Jianhui said: "Fangfang, don't look at William's tall and fierce look, in fact, he is a good person and a loyal fan of yours." You don't have to be afraid of him. ”

William felt aggrieved in his heart, how could I be vicious? As the top elite of Wall Street, although I can't say how handsome, at least I am good-looking?

He rubbed his hands and tried to make his smile look innocent: "Yes, yes, the boss is right, I'm a good person, I'm a good person." ”

Vivien Fang looked disgusted, this person looked like she had never seen the world, or was she an elite of Wall Street?

Fang Jianhui smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Classmate William, you have also seen Fangfang, you should kneel down, right?"

"Ahh William reluctantly agreed, and said to Fei Wenfang: "I am working on the seventeenth floor here this morning, and I hope that Miss Fangfang will have time to come and sit." ”

He turned around, reluctantly turned around, and slowly moved towards the elevator.

Entering the office, Vivien Fang asked, "What's so weird about President William?"

"I told you, she's a big fan of yours. Fang Jianhui said: "Next time I see him, be kind to him." ”

I secretly said in my heart, he is still your great benefactor, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have thought of resurrecting you.

"Oh. ”

"He's going back to New York in the afternoon, you can go to his place and talk to him in a while!"

"Do you have to go?"

“... Certain. ”

February 21, New York Stock Exchange.

Today, Twentieth Century Fox Film will be officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol Fox, and representatives of Fang Jianhui, Andy, William, the underwriter Goldman Sachs, and the general manager of the New York Stock Exchange will gather together to share this glorious moment.

Fang Jianhui also invited three directors, Lucas, Spielberg and Cameron, the former two of whom brought a lot of money to the Twentieth Century Fox in the "Star Wars" series and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series. Although the latter has not yet made any achievements, Fang Jianhui believes that the "Terminator" he is working on will also make the company make a lot of money.

Cameron was grateful to Fang Jianhui for inviting him to attend the listing ceremony, and for his behavior of juxtaposing with Lucas and Spielberg, and a feeling of death for his confidant arose.

At 9:3o a.m., Fang Jianhui rang the bell for the opening of the market, and trading began.

The opening price was $44.1o, up 1o.2% from the highest market price of $4o, and since then, the price has risen all the way to a maximum of $53, and at 4 p.m., it closed at $49.66, up 24.1% from the market price.

At this price, the total market value of 20th Century Fox is close to $10 billion, and the prospectus shows that Fang Jianhui holds 8 percent of the shares, with a market value of about $8 billion! Not counting his other assets, this alone makes him the richest person in the United States and far behind the second place.

The Wall Street Journal analyzed and interpreted this, believing that the success of Fox in the 20th century was mainly inseparable from Fang Jianhui after he became the owner.

After Fang Jianhui became the owner, in the past few years, the company's net profit has continued to rise, from more than 3ooo US dollars before the ownership, to 160 million, 220 million, 320 million and 330 million, rising year by year, standing out among the eight major Hollywood companies, and the net profit stands out from the crowd. After the acquisition of Luen Mei Pictures, the company has further grown, and this time it has been successfully listed, raising up to $1.6 billion, and the company's strength will go further, and it is estimated that there will be new moves next.

The New York Times also attributed the credit to Fang Jianhui, saying that in the past few years, Fang Jianhui has continued to release blockbuster films with one per year, including romance, science fiction, horror, comedy and music, etc., and his ability to control all kinds of films has reached its peak.

With the existence of Fang Jianhui, Twentieth Century Fox Pictures has the greatest guarantee. Moreover, in order to appease the majority of investors, Fang Jianhui also promised in the prospectus that in the next ten years, unless force majeure factors, at least one Hollywood film will be shot every year. This pledge has boosted investor confidence and the stock subscription has been extremely enthusiastic.

After attending the listing ceremony, Fang Jianhui convened Andy and William to discuss the company's next development strategy.

Andy said: "This successful listing has made the company have a lot of cash flow, and my thoughts on these funds are as follows:

"One is to continue acquisitions. William and I consulted and agreed that MGM was a suitable target. ”

MGM is also one of the eight major Hollywood companies, no, after the acquisition of United Pictures Studios, there are only seven Hollywood majors. It has a long history and brilliant achievements, and has filmed classics such as the masterpiece "Gone with the Wind" - that is, the masterpiece of the goddess Vivien Leigh - and established the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and launched the Oscar. It also owns the full copyright of the cartoon god "Cat and Mouse".

After the rise of Fang Jianhui, Twentieth Century Fox flourished, and the other six major ones were weakened to a certain extent, and MGM was the most obvious of them. Its business is at the bottom of the Big Seven in Hollywood, with a market share of only about 5%, and the boss has lost confidence in the company, so it is a good time to make a purchase.

William estimates that the full acquisition of MGM, including films, cinemas and hotels, will cost about $2o0 million. With the capital reserves of Twentieth Century Fox at this time, it is completely possible to acquire it in cash.

"The second is to invest in the film special effects industry, and Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic is a good target. ”

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of computer-generated special effects in movies. Andy saw it as a trend and it was worth investing in this area in advance to gain an advantage. Of course, Fang Jianhui has always had a good relationship with Lucas, and he must not force himself to invest in Industrial Light and Magic, but must discuss with Lucas and seek a win-win result.

"I think Toho in Japan has some value. Fang Jianhui interjected: "How about you think it is appropriate to participate in some shares?"

Fang Jianhui never does rigorous investigation when buying things, and he has always cared too much about financial indicators such as asset-liability ratio, profit margin, and inventory turnover ratio. If you feel right, you can buy it, which is fundamentally different from Andy and William. If it weren't for these two strongmen who were wholeheartedly escorting, Fang Jianhui would easily buy himself bankrupt.

"Dongbao's equity is dispersed, and the largest shareholder's shareholding is only 1o%, and we only need to buy about 15% of its equity to become the largest shareholder, which can substantially influence its major decisions. "To get there, it's going to take about $300 million to $400 million. ”

"Okay! Fang Jianhui said.
