Chapter 315: The Newborn Calf (1)
"Oh, if that's the case. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing this, Oda Hatsufan knew that his side had already grasped the initiative: "What is the psychological floor price of the other party?" ”
"A billion dollars, a billion dollars in debt to be repaid."
The governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles looked at each other, and did not hide it, telling the truth: "The buyer paid a total of two billion dollars and then received 100 percent of Universal Pictures' shares." ”
"Of course, the price is sky-high and the money is paid back on the ground. $2 billion is just a one-sided offer from the seller, so you two can sit down and talk further. After a pause, the California governor continued.
"Then it's time for the two of you to help introduce you!" Oda Hatsufan smiled, very moved.
Anyway, Universal Pictures is also one of the six major Hollywood studios, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hen that lays eggs. The seller was in such a hurry to make a move, and at first glance, he was affected by the recession of the film industry, and he had no money in his hand and panicked.
The seller has no money, so the company will be half-dead and fall into a vicious circle; His son, Ryu-jeong, is different, and Ryu-jeong has enough funds to support Universal Pictures to shoot several influential blockbusters, turning the tide and completing Universal's recovery in one fell swoop.
"No problem, happy to help!" Facing the Long Zheng family, the governor of California agreed.
What the three of them don't know is that the current owner of Universal Pictures and the governor of California are actually related to their children. Ever since he promised his in-laws, the governor of California has been worried about the matter.
In the past two decades, the U.S. economy has fallen into a continuous downturn, and there are too few people willing to burn money to play movies. Today, I finally met the new richest family, and the governor of California naturally will not let go of this opportunity and successfully complete the work of connecting the two parties.
No, when you go back, you must persuade your in-laws, and you must not be greedy. I finally met the next family who was willing to take over, and I must not miss this opportunity because the offer was too high. -- California Governor thought so.

On the evening of March 3, 1994, the NBA regular season Houston Rockets played away against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Arena.
The 18,997-seat Staples Arena is packed at the moment. Amazingly, half of the audience was Rockets fans from afar, and at the same time, the game was also broadcast live on national television, becoming the most important game of the day in the NBA.
The reason for these situations, if nothing else, is that the newly promoted richest man in the world, Long Zheng, will play as a player for the Houston Rockets in this game.
Three days ago, when I learned that Long Zheng would play in this game, the NBA, the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers all took action to make overwhelming publicity to the outside world, and the gimmick of "the richest star" did win the attention of the people, resulting in this game being known to everyone in the United States.
In the pre-match warm-up, the TV camera continued to capture the figures of superstars and celebrities from all walks of life from the audience.
James Cameron, movie superstar Schwarzenegger, world dance king Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Presley...... There were dozens of celebrities in the audience.
What everyone doesn't know is that the reason why these celebrities came to the game site was not only the gimmick of "the richest star", but also because Long Zheng gave each of them a ticket at last night's party and sincerely invited them to watch their first professional game.
What excites fans even more is that countless retired NBA superstars and even NBA commissioner David Stern have come to the scene, and at the moment they are whispering and whispering something.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pete Maravich the Pistol, Julius Irving, Larry Bird "The Big Bird", Elvin Johnson "The Magician......
Sharp-eyed fans found more than a dozen retired superstars from the audience.
Unlike Michael Jackson, who is watching this game with the gimmick of "the richest star", Abdul-Jabbar and others really want to observe the strength of Long Zheng with their own eyes.
The news that the Chicago Bulls will play four preseason games against the Japanese men's basketball team has long been spread in American basketball circles, and Ryuzheng has really surprised these people by single-handedly facing Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen and leaving them helpless.
There is no shortage of talent in the NBA, and "Magic" Elvin Johnson helped the team win a championship in his first season in the NBA and became the youngest Finals MVP in NBA history at the age of 20 years and 276 days.
But no matter how talented you are, you have to have a degree, even "Magic" Elvin Johnson, when he first entered the NBA, he couldn't match Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen, let alone fight against the two of them at once.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Abdul-Jabbar and others want to see with their own eyes whether Long Zheng is really that powerful, and if so, then Long Zheng is undoubtedly the most talented player in NBA history.
Also wondering about the exact strength of Long Zheng is the current NBA commissioner David Stern.
You know, David Stern is having a hard time right now.
Last fall, NBA star Michael Jordan retired. Jordan's retirement had a disastrous impact on the development of the NBA. After the Bulls announced Jordan's retirement, the market attendance fell to less than 50%, the ratings plummeted by four percentage points, and other NBA teams were also affected, and various sponsorships were greatly reduced.
Against this backdrop, David Stern desperately hopes that Long Zheng can step up to replace Jordan and become the new banner of the NBA as a highly appealing basketball superstar.

The biggest impression of the Los Angeles Lakers is that there are always stars associated with them.
From George McCann to Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Los Angeles Lakers have always had big stars in their seats.
But feng shui takes turns, with the retirement of "Magic" Elvin Johnson in 1991 and the withdrawal of James Worthy from the NBA in January this year (1994), the current Los Angeles Lakers are in a dim stardom dilemma, and there is no star in the whole team who can handle it.
Without a superstar at the helm, the Los Angeles Lakers' record plummeted.
In the first half of this season, the Lakers were leaderless, and it was difficult to reverse the predicament after changing the coach three times, and the record was miserable, and it was very likely that the team would miss the playoffs for the fifth time in team history. (To be continued.) )
