Chapter 521: Aim for MGM
"In that case, you're going to make a lot of money again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Lin Fengjiao smiled slightly when she heard this, and after listening to Lei Juewen's words, she put her mind at ease, although the money she earned was not hers, she was naturally happy to make money.
"It's no problem to make three or four hundred million dollars."
Lei Juewen smiled and said, at the box office, of course, it is impossible for this film to make three or four hundred million US dollars, but the North American box office and overseas box office combined, there is no problem in earning more than 250 million US dollars, and then the surrounding of the film will make some more, and three or four billion US dollars is still less. And Raiders of the Lost Ark is a series of films, there are still two, three, four, five to shoot in the future, if there is a market, there is no problem in shooting six, seven, eight, nine, this series of films alone, it is no problem to make one or two billion dollars, but this is a long-term income, and there are not so many short-term benefits.
"That's a lot!"
Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this, if three or four hundred million US dollars are converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is 1.5 billion to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and if it is converted into Taiwan dollars, it is 6 billion to 8 billion yuan.
Lei Juewen said: "A good film is very profitable, otherwise why do you think so many people want to enter this industry?" However, there are profits and losses, mainly depends on whether you have the ability, if you don't have the ability, just like Golden Harvest, a film loses 10 million US dollars, no one can afford to lose, and sooner or later it will go bankrupt. β
"That's just as well."
Lin Fengjiao nodded approvingly, even if she is rich, if she loses 10 million US dollars for every film, even if she is not bankrupt, she will not choose to invest in films again, after all, money is not spent like this, after all, no one's money falls from the sky.
Time passed in a chat between the two, and when the film was screened, the two entered the cinema together to watch the film.
Lin Fengjiao's birthday, Lei Juewen naturally did not forget to give a birthday gift, and when he returned to the hotel in the evening, Lei Juewen gave the gift, the ownership of a villa. This villa is not from the United States or Hong Kong Island, but on Taiwan Island, and Lin Fengjiao is a good choice whether she lives by herself or for her family.
Regarding the gift given by Lei Juewen, Lin Fengjiao happily accepted it and did not refuse, just because she had regarded herself as Lei Juewen's woman, a gift from her own man, of course she had no reason to refuse.
Lin Fengjiao did not stay in the United States for long, on the first day of July, she left Los Angeles under the escort of Lei Juewen and returned to Hong Kong Island.
After Lin Fengjiao left, Lei Juewen accompanied Sophie Marceau to play happily in Los Angeles that day and went to many places, but the next day, he asked Sophie Marceau to play by herself, which made Sophie Marceau very dissatisfied, and it was Lei Juewen who said to her that she would go to the premiere of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" together in the evening, and she let Lei Juewen go.
Leaving Sophie Marceau, Lei Juewen went to Cente to find Tina Fett.
Since acquiring HarperCollins, Cent, led by Tina Fett, has made rapid discoveries and is now one of the largest publishing companies in the United States.
When she came to Tina Fett's office, Lei Juewen didn't say much, and directly handed her a novel that she brought.
"BOSS, I will arrange the promotion and publication of the novel as soon as possible."
Tina Fett didn't read the novel, after "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code", she was very confident in the novel written by Lei Juewen, and besides, the company was still Lei Juewen's, and if Lei Juewen really wanted to publish it, she couldn't refuse.
"Well, you can arrange it."
Lei Juewen nodded and said, "Tina, the development of Sente needs to be accelerated, I hope that Sente can have bookstores in most countries around the world, preferably in important cities in these countries, which requires your efforts." β
Tina Fett couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard this: "BOSS, the development of publishing houses does not happen overnight, especially in non-English-speaking countries, and most novels can only be popular in their own countries, so it is not easy to find excellent writers if you have a bookstore in a certain country." β
"I know it's not easy, but it's a goal I've given you."
Lei Juewen nodded, looked at Tina Fitt and said: "Tina, how much is my industry, you knew a little bit when you went to Hong Kong Island last year, now my industry will only be more, and many companies will only be more profitable than last year, so I am ready to merge these companies into a group, and this will be completed in the second half of next year." β
"You should know that the position in a new group company is determined by the market value and performance of the subsidiary, and only the greater the development of Cente and the more profitable, the higher your position in the group company. If there is no accident, several general managers of the branch will enter the group headquarters at that time, which should be an opportunity for you. β
"I understand, boss!"
Tina Fidel said that she understands that she naturally knows the prospects after the establishment of the group, and if she can serve in the group headquarters, she will definitely be better than in her current position, and this requires her to do a good job, otherwise with her age and experience, there will be no chance at all.
Seeing that Tina Fett understood, Lei Juewen said: "Today's America is also one of my industries, you may not know it yet, let me tell you." β
"If necessary, I will cooperate with USA Today."
Tina Fett was a little surprised, USA Today was set up at the end of last year, about half a year, this new newspaper company is currently in a state of loss, yes, but the sales volume of each issue is not low, the prospect is very good, I didn't expect it to be its own boss industry, this is probably not known outside.
"Hmm!"
Lei Juewen nodded, got up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, so he said again: "Tina, how much cash can the publishing house take out now?" β
"$200 million, so be it."
Tina Fett thought for a moment and then asked, "BOSS, which company are you going to buy?" β
Lei Juewen nodded with a smile and said: "MGM's current situation is very bad, I have a lot of ideas about it, but I don't know if Corkrian is willing to sell it, if I really don't want to, then I can only express regret and find another company." β
Tina Fett said: "MGM is really in a bad situation right now, but in terms of market capitalization, there are still four or five billion dollars. β
Lei Juewen said: "I don't have to buy all the shares of MGM, as long as more than half of the shares, it is naturally better to have more than sixty or seventy shares." Luen Mei Pictures' results this year are very good, Firefly's results last year are even better, and there is no problem for the two companies to come up with one or two hundred million dollars in cash, but it is really impossible to find a bank loan. β
"Then I'll wish you a successful acquisition here." Tina Fett smiled.
"I hope so!"
Lei Juewen nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out.
