He thought for a moment and said, "Paramount, just Paramount... How much equity does the consortium own in Paramount? ”

"I don't know. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tina is not omniscient either, although her father is the chairman of the Bank of America, she is not.

"But it shouldn't be more than 10 percent." Tina added.

"So, what is Paramount's market value now?" Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice.

"No more than 15 billion." Tina said.

"One and a half billion..."Zhou Yu frowned, and suddenly said: "In other words, Jian Lin planned to buy 49% of Paramount's shares at a price of 80 to 10 billion earlier, which should be a premium?" ”

"That's for sure." Tina said: "Jian Lin is not an American, he is the richest man in Great Xia." If you want to enter the circle of the American entertainment industry, you have to pay more price. ”

Zhou Yu bowed slightly.

In a flash, he said: "Jian Lin's acquisition of Paramount's equity failed, the specific reason, baby, do you know it?" ”

"Paramount's management is willing to sell this part of the equity. Paramount's situation has not been good in recent years, and its profitability has been low, and they want to reverse this situation by changing owners, getting more investment, and more resources and channels. But the board of directors of its parent company, Viacom, especially the Lei Shidong family, is opposed. ”

"I see..."Zhou Yu nodded slowly: "Only less than ten percent of the equity of the consortium means little to me." The infighting between Paramount's management and board of directors may be an opportunity, but the 49 percent stake, at least seven or eight billion, for the time being, I can't use so much money..."

Zhou Yu now has more than 8 billion in cash. Of these, $5.4 billion will be handed over to the IRS, and the remaining nearly $3 billion will be mainly due to the value created by bananas and pineapples in the first season of this year.

He frowned and groaned: "Do you want a loan again?" ”

Tina looked at him, but shook her head helplessly: "My dear, I think you really don't have any talent for the operation of money. ”

She said: "Taxes are due, necessary. But there is no need at all, it is a waste to keep this part very early. My dear, no rich man would do that. Money needs to flow to have real value. Fifty four billion, if you let it flow, it's not as simple as fifty or four billion. As for the tax, when the time comes, can't you think of a way? For a high-quality customer like you, Bank of America will be more than happy to lend to you. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

It's as if he still thinks about money as a small peasant. I am most afraid of loans, arrears, etc.

Tina added: "Any company that is not healthy if it is not in debt. So, dear, go into debt. ”

"Although Yuyin Farm is different from all companies, it is also an economy, so if it can make money, why not give full play to its potential advantages?"

"You now have more than eight billion in cash, and you have every chance of buying the forty-nine percent stake in Paramount that Viacom holds. Less than 10% of the equity of the consortium, if you want to achieve absolute control, you have to eat this part, and the loan is enough. Up to fifteen billion. ”

Listening to Tina's narration, Zhou Yu was a little entangled, and said, "Of course I want to be absolutely controlled, but... Now I have a loan of 1500 million, and when the time comes to taxes, I will have to borrow 5.4 billion! You know, in April, the farm didn't produce anything. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu suddenly paused, and seemed to think of something: "When the time comes, I will use Paramount's equity as collateral?" ”

"Got it?" Tina gave him a blank look: "I suggest you find another secretary who is proficient in finance, otherwise..."

Zhou Yu couldn't help touching his nose.

...

The next day, Zhou Yu waited until the afternoon before taking Tina to Los Angeles together. Before leaving, he sent the boulder to the training base, forced him to follow Liszt, and instructed him to watch the farm carefully.

There is no need to be in a hurry about the banquet, it will not start until seven o'clock in the evening, and it is not good to go early.

Stepping on the point in time, Zhou Yu arrived at Hilton.

The Democratic Party held this banquet, and the standard was actually very high. The banquet was attended by some of California's leading figures. The banquet hall is on the second floor, and it is a large hall.

As a California landowner, Brown greets guests at the door of the hall.

"Hey, Zhou, you're welcome." Brown smiled and hugged Zhou Yu: "You are really punctual." ”

"Are you praising me or am you hurting me?" Zhou Yu joked: "I can't come early." I don't believe how long they can be ahead of me. ”

Brown laughed and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "Man, you're right." ”

In the luxurious and bright hall, there were already twenty or thirty people, each in groups of three or five, chatting in a low voice. A waiter shuttles through it with a plate and serves a glass of red wine.

After chatting with Brown for a while, Zhou Yu walked into the hall with Tina.

"It's your dad." Zhou Yu saw Brian at a glance.

As an important member of the California consortium and the chairman and CEO of Bank of America, the largest commercial bank in North America, Brian's status is extraordinary.

Many people surrounded him, like students, listening to the teachings.

In fact, even if they are both upper-class figures, they also have their own small circles. It is often related to the intersection of careers, and if there is no intersection, it will basically not come together. But people like Brian are the exception – banks have a lot to do with any industry!

The people in the hall are not simple people, either company bosses or company executives. In particular, there are many people who play high-tech in Silicon Valley, among them, there is one, Zhou Yu is a little familiar.

It's Ngalani Musk.

Tina also quietly introduced him to a few, one of them, more famous than Musk, is Zuckerberg.

The man at the helm of Facebook.

"Both of these are also Democratic supporters?" Zhou Yu said.

"You should ask them." Tina glanced at Zhou Yu: "If it weren't, they wouldn't be here." ”

"Uh..."Zhou Yu could only wipe his nose.

Tina pulled him along and headed straight for Brian's circle.

"Hey guys, here comes my baby girl." Brian had already seen Zhou Yu and Tina, and when he saw the two of them coming, he smiled slightly, and said to the surroundings: "Lose your company." ”

"Daddy." Tina stepped forward and hugged Brian deeply.

"Any idea how long it's been since I've seen you?" Brian glanced at Zhou Yu on the side: "One year!" Don't come home for Christmas, your mom misses you so much, and I miss you too. ”

"Me too." Tina rubbed Brian's shoulder, "But I see you a lot." Dad, in the newspaper, on the Internet. ”

"Oh, that's a terrible thing." Brian patted her daughter on the shoulder: "Aren't we in the same world?" I can't see you, but you can see me. ”

"I'm working hard for my future happiness, Dad, you should support me." Tina wrinkled her nose.

"Okay," Brian smiled helplessly, "but I hope that while you pursue your own happiness, you don't forget that you still have your father and mother." I hope you can come home for a few days, your mom really misses you. ”

"Hmm." Tina nodded.

Then he took Zhou Yu's hand and said to Brian: "Dad, you know him, right?" ”

Brian spread his hands: "If you are a qualified father, you must know the lives of your children at all times, Zhou, this is the second time we have met, right?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his hand: "Yes, Mr. Brian." ”

"You know," Brian glared at him, "I hate you so much. You kid, you snatched the only baby in our house! If you don't treat her well, I'll let you know how good I am! ”

As he spoke, he also waved his fist: "I'm taller than you, don't think that I can't beat you because I'm not young." If you duel, you'll be hit all over the place! ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help grinning, and hurriedly said, "You are an elder, I don't dare to duel with you." ”

Tina giggled beside her, "Dad, you're talking big." You know, you can't beat Zhou. ”

"Look, look, the girl is outgoing, and I'm talking about Tina." Brian shrugged, exaggerated helplessness on his face.

Then he said to Zhou Yu: "Boy, your fruit is very good, and that kind of honey is also very wonderful." Tina's mother looks much younger now than before, and I'm embarrassed to go out and find a lover. Then he made a gesture: "Look at me now, am I much younger?" ”

He whispered: "I secretly used a lot of Tina honey for her mother, but I can't tell the secret!" ”

For such Brian, Zhou Yu can't be a little disgusted.

Earlier, in fact, Zhou Yu didn't want to see Brian in his heart. At the time of the old man's accident, if Brian had revealed the news earlier, maybe that would not have happened.

At that time, Zhou Yu hated him very much, second only to the Wei family.

But as time goes by, this idea is gradually fading - not to mention the pillow person Tina, who is the only daughter of the person in front of him, just to say that he has not established a relationship with Tina at that time, and he has not yet had such a huge wealth and important status as now, Brian has no reason to help Zhou Yu for free.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if Zhou Yu is in Brian's position, if he can be like Brian and completely let go of the shackles on his daughter, it is already very remarkable.

Often as a father, when he learns that his daughter is going to throw herself into the arms of a strange man, he will have a sense of loss and hatred.

He didn't do anything to Zhou Yu is already very good, if you want to think that Brian will be towards Zhou Yu at that time, it is impossible.

What's more, Brian must also think from the perspective of a consortium.

But even so, even if he understands, Zhou Yu still doesn't have much affection for the consortium.

Plans, will not change.

Zhou Yu thought about this, with a smile on his face, and said, "I should ask Tina to send you and your aunt more honey." ”

Brian waved his hand: "I don't covet those, although old men also love beauty." But I know it's precious. Leorick, that old guy, was impressed by this, right? ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "You know, as an old man, I hate myself the most for my lack of energy and lack of vitality, so..."

"yes." Brian smiled, "I'm still quite energetic, but wait another ten years, boy, and you'll have to prepare more honey for me." ”

"It should." Zhou Yu nodded.

Brian smiled and said, "Tina called me and said that you were going to take out a loan from the consortium bank, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu admitted: "Because I have some interest in the entertainment industry," he did not hide his intentions, saying: "The main thing is Paramount, and the current situation of this company gives me a great opportunity to master it." ”

"Hehe..." Brian laughed, glanced at Tina next to him, and then whispered to Zhou Yu: "Boy, I don't care why you want to enter the entertainment industry, whether it's for those two big summer stars, or to make money." But I'm telling you, you can't hurt Tina no matter what, you know? ”

"I promise." Zhou Yu said seriously: "No matter what, I won't hurt Tina." ”

Brian bowed slightly: "Men, especially rich men, have a few lovers, it's not surprising." I can understand that. But if for the sake of a lover, the investment is greater than that of your lover, it is unreasonable. (To be continued.) )
