"This year's biggest dark horse "The Hangover" was released for a week, earning 140 million US dollars, and the global total box office is expected to exceed the 300 million mark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
A week after the release of "The Hangover", there was no suspense to win the box office of the week, because there were not many blockbusters released in early September, and it seems that the only films that can compete with "The Hangover" are probably "Tales of the Night" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" released on September 12.
It's just that the two production teams, who were originally full of confidence, couldn't help but feel powerless in the face of Chen Xueqian's first-week box office. This is a terrifying achievement.
On September 16, "The Hangover" continued to lead the box office charts, while "Tales of the Night" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" were unable to compete in the face of "The Hangover", which only fell by 25% in the second week because they were only released for three days.
For a while, the entire Hollywood blockbuster was turned over by Chen Xueqian. Faced with this situation, many people who had belittled and were not optimistic about Chen Xueqian before were dumbfounded.
And the newspaper that had been swearing that Chen Xueqian's movie was a sincere money-making work had been silent at this time.
It's just that it wants to keep a low profile at this time, but how could Chen Xueqian agree!
When the media interviewed Chen Xueqian, he reiterated again: Peak Entertainment will not accept interviews for anyone who cooperates with the company.
In the face of Chen Xueqian's calculations, many media outlets adopted a tacit attitude, and Chen Xueqian took the newspaper to court on charges of stealing trade secrets.
In this regard, Bai Feifei was a little puzzled, "It is impossible for you to sue the newspaper in the United States to win the lawsuit!" ”
Chen Xueqian smiled incomprehensibly when he heard this: "Of course I know, but I just want to sue, one of the purposes of this is to tell everyone not to mess with me easily." Speaking of this, Chen Xueqian's voice paused.
Bai Feifei couldn't help but ask, "What other purpose?" ”
Chen Xueqian looked at her with a strange expression: "Hype! If their newspaper can be famous, why can't we? ”
"Well, why do I think you don't seem to hate this newspaper that much?" Bai Feifei looked at Chen Xueqian's performance and subconsciously reacted.
Chen Xueqian suddenly began to talk to him on his left side, and his expression couldn't help but make Bai Feifei even more suspicious.
"You didn't make that newspaper, did you?" Bai Feifei shouted with a suspicious expression.
"Well, how is that possible, that company has been around for a few years." Chen Xueqian said with a ridiculous face.
However, as soon as he said this, Chen Xueqian was even more determined.
In the end, Chen Xueqian said vaguely: "Freedom of speech! ”
Bai Feifei looked at him completely speechless for a while. This person was so hateful that she immediately thought, "If that's the case, why does this media keep smearing you?" ”
Chen Xueqian glanced at him and didn't speak, but Bai Feifei was self-taught.
"You're trying to hype?"
Chen Xueqian looked at the ceiling and said, "Only when there is an argument can there be a topic!" ”
Bai Feifei looked at Chen Xueqian and didn't know what to say for a while. I've been worried about this person for a long time. This person is so hateful, if he hadn't asked himself, I'm afraid this person would have kept himself in the dark.
Chen Xueqian watched Bai Feifei's eyes gradually become unkind, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"By the way, how much do we get now?"
Bai Feifei glared at him, and finally said, "After deducting the cost, I will receive 200 million US dollars at present." ”
Chen Xueqian nodded, "It's about the same as I expected, and it is estimated that the total income in the end will be 250 million net profit." Then we can carry out the previous plan. ”
"I've always wondered why we would venture into such a company." Bai Feifei couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"The future belongs to the Internet, and the business model of the future will be completely different from today's model. It won't be long before it will be increasingly difficult for mere middlemen to survive. And e-commerce, which allows customers to face manufacturers directly, will inevitably rise, and the company I want to invest in is such a company. ”
"Okay, but why invest in that chat software company?" Bai Feifei didn't continue to ask the question just now, but asked another question.
"Social software is a link between people and people, and I believe that one day social software will replace the current phone calls and text messages as the most important situation for people to connect with each other."
Bai Feifei looked at Chen Xueqian, who was sitting there and talking, and felt a trance in his heart, this person really brought her too many surprises. Although he had just said a few words lightly, Bai Feifei knew that if these two sentences were written at this time, they might be prophecy proverbs one day in the future.
"Little villain, how the hell does your head look like?" After looking at Chen Xueqian for a long time, Bai Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
"Do I have any itinerary for today?" Chen Xueqian changed the topic again.
Bai Feifei thought for a while and said, "You made an appointment with Carl Icahn, and then you really handed over all the money exchanged for NetEase shares to Icahn?" ”
Chen Xueqian nodded, "Yes, it's all taken care of by him." ”
Bai Feifei glanced at Chen Xueqian with a speechless expression.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xueqian saw that she had something to say, so he asked directly.
"We have our own investment company, so why should we leave the money to Icahn?" In the end, Bai Feifei still said the doubts in his heart.
After all, angel investment is now managed by her.
"Because we don't get involved in short-term investment ourselves, because of our sensitive identity, there are many tools that we can't use, but Icahn doesn't have that concern. So what we do is still a long-term investment. ”
Bai Feifei glanced at Chen Xueqian seriously and confirmed that he was telling the truth before nodding in approval.
"So what are we going to do now?"
Chen Xueqian has invested more than 300 million funds in the Icahn Fund, and Bai Feifei doesn't know what else Chen Xueqian has to do when he sees Icahn at this time.
Chen Xueqian shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know why I want to meet, because it was Icahn who asked me." ”
Bai Feifei was a little stunned for a while, perhaps because he had been with Chen Xueqian for too long, and he couldn't help but ignore his identity. At this time, Chen Xueqian's unintentional words made Bai Feifei suddenly realize: "This teenager is already a big man who can talk directly to Wall Street giants." ”
However, Chen Xueqian does not seem to have the slightest awareness of this. It's still the same indifferent look.
In the afternoon, in the living room of a hotel in Manhattan, Bai Feifei actually met Icahn himself for the first time.
This legendary old man on Wall Street gave Bai Feifei's first impression very good. He has a scholarly demeanor.
Icahn also expressed enough respect for Bai Feifei, he knew that this young and beautiful girl was one of the most trusted helpers of Chen Xueqian, the little fox. If you want to deal with Chen Xueqian well, then you must maintain a good relationship with her.
"Chen, this restaurant is one of the best in all of Manhattan, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed today." Instead of going straight to the topic, Cal Icahn started the conversation with good food.
Hearing Icahn's words, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bai Feifei, but found that this foodie had a quiet look at this time.
In this regard, Chen Xueqian knew that Bai Feifei was afraid of making Icahn look down on him, and for this reason, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but be moved in his heart. It's not easy to get a full foodie to say no to food.
In this regard, Chen Xueqian did not let Bai Feifei be more casual, so saying this is undoubtedly disappointing the beauty.
Therefore, Chen Xueqian quietly enjoyed the food here.
And Icahn didn't rush to start the conversation until the end of the lunch, Cal Icahn picked up the towel on the table, wiped his mouth and said: "Chen, I invite you to come this time, firstly, I want to invite you to taste the food here, in addition, I also hope to talk to Chen about a cooperation project." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xueqian also put down the tableware, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Icahn with an inquiring face. Motioning for him to continue.
Carl Icahn didn't go around the bush either, and said directly: "I want to exchange ten percent of the Icahn Fund's shares for the same proportion of Pinnacle Entertainment." ”
After listening to Icahn's words, Chen Xueqian pondered slightly. Exchanging shares with Icahn is what Chen Xueqian is looking forward to. However, the proportion of shares is somewhat beyond Chen Xueqian's expectations.
You must know that Chen Xueqian only holds 51% of the shares of Summit Entertainment, and if he trades 10%, his control over the company will decrease. (To be continued.) )
