Speaking of this, Zhou You regretted it again, these words, he shouldn't have said them at this time. Because by the evening of this day, these words may appear on TV, in newspapers, so that other companies are also prepared.

But when he thought about it, he didn't regret it anymore. Because it's only the end of '04, and we're still more than four years away from the truly booming '09. Other companies just follow the trend and do not have such strong economic strength as themselves, and investing four years in advance will only make them be dragged to death by the burden.

Maybe they can't wait that time, and they will go bankrupt, which is cheaper for themselves.

At this time, Lopez added: "I think we can adjourn the meeting this morning and let the management and the union seriously analyze and think about your words, so that they can respond correctly." ”

Lopez also stood up and said: "Indeed, we need time to digest Mr. Zhou's words, and I propose that the meeting be adjourned now and continue negotiations at one o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "I hope you can have a pair of far-sighted eyes and make decisions that are in line with the development of the times." ”

The shareholder representatives are now also standing up, pulling Zhou You to go to other rooms to chat. After they left, Sanchez and Demosa also left the room with the negotiating team, leaving only management and union representatives.

Although AMC is a small company, its shareholders are more famous than the other, such as Bain Capital, Apollo Investment Funds, JPMorgan Chase, Carlyle Capital, etc.

Zhou You's acquisition of AMC at a premium is definitely not contradictory to them, and they are eager to sell this company that has been losing money at a high price, so their attitude towards Zhou You is still very close.

I left Los Angeles at six o'clock in the morning and arrived in Kansas at nine o'clock, and it was already past ten o'clock when I entered the conference room. Although it took less than half an hour to postpone the negotiations, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Zhou You got in touch with these antique representatives, and in the United States, the representatives of these big foundations don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if their capital is not as good as Zhou You, the intricate relationship behind them is not something that Zhou You can underestimate.

If you want to develop in the United States, it is always good to have a good relationship with them.

Because of Zhou You and the arrival of these shareholder representatives, the working meal prepared by AMC today is still very rich, and the buffet of more than a dozen kinds of food is very rare for these Yankees.

Everyone talked together in unison, and it was not until almost one o'clock that everyone collected their emotions and prepared to enter the formal negotiations.

Representatives of the management and the representatives of the trade unions are not fools, and when they buy companies, the company becomes a private company, and although they have to fight for their rights, they also have to have a degree.

Although the conditions of traveling around now seem harsh, they are left with a lot of operational scope in the middle. As Zhou You said, he will not be specifically involved in the daily management of the company, and his request is nothing more than to let everyone cooperate with his development plan. This is tantamount to putting a tight spell on them, but also increasing their power accordingly.

Therefore, after some communication, the management represented by Lopez decided to agree to the conditions of Zhouyou, and they knew very well that Zhouyou's industries were all over the world and would definitely not focus on this "stable" company.

Even a company like Tmall, which has an annual turnover of hundreds of billions of dollars, does he care about this company with a turnover of just over $2 billion?

What's more, most of the management companies of the cinema chain are some procedural work, and there is no creativity, so of course you will not be interested. In the future, the power of this company is still in their hands, and there is no profit pressure.

Of course, if they agree to Zhou You's conditions, their fate will be controlled by Zhou You, and in the future, this company will be Zhou You's private ownership, and if they don't do well, they will all leave.

As for the trade unions, the conditions for traveling around are not harsh, and even relaxed, so they don't have much opinion.

Since there were no opinions and Zhou You's conditions were accepted, all obstacles had been cleared of the negotiations, and the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.

But the acquisition of a large company with assets all over the United States, there is no obstacle to killing, but it is not something that can be decided in a few words. Just the negotiation of the details and terms of the latter was divided into four groups, and the four aspects of administration, development, business, and sales began to check one by one.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, after two and a half days of heavy work, the negotiation team finally completed the drafting of all the terms and conditions and determined the terms of the contract under the pressure of Zhou You.

In fact, they all want to get their work done before Christmas and have a relaxing Christmas.

Zhou You, shareholder representatives, management representatives, and union representatives jointly signed their names on the contract. Subsequently, the contract was reported directly by Lopez to the Motion Picture Association of America and the government management coordination department.

Jessica Lines felt very depressed, according to intelligence, Zhou You'd act like a hungry wolf in Los Angeles, but when she arrived in Kansas, she became a motivated entrepreneur.

He became a saint in Kansas, and in addition to participating in negotiations, he exercised in hotels and met with representatives of various parties. Instead of paying attention to his lace news in the past few days, the media in the United States have been fascinated by his business acumen and methods.

Zhou You's words at the beginning of the negotiations were touted by many American filmmakers, believing that Zhou You's analysis of the future film industry will be a benchmark for the development of the American film industry in the future.

At the beginning, there were still many filmmakers who had many concerns about Zhou You's acquisition of AMC, believing that Zhou You also had film companies, film and television bases, and movie theaters in the mainland, and now he was buying them in the United States, which would affect the development of American films. But now, the opposition is getting smaller, and many filmmakers are turning positive against Zhou You's acquisition of AMC.

Although Zhou You became serious on the surface, at night, she was tortured to death every day. Not only did she not collect any evidence of her travels, but she was toyed with every day.

She deliberately came to be a traitor, but she was a little infatuated with this feeling, and she sent it to the door herself. Yes, she's scared now. It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the task, or I'm afraid that I'll be exposed, but I'm afraid that I'll really like him.

Even with her critical gaze, she had to admit that Evan Zhou was the most attractive man she had ever experienced. Even though her mind still hadn't surrendered, her body had already surrendered, and she was afraid that she would never be able to escape his clutches again.

Although she had collected the panties with his essence, she was reluctant to give them to Farcher, and she even felt that she could not tolerate life without him.

Lying in Zhou You's arms, she gently pressed against his chest, and her heart was full of thoughts. But in the end, reason prevailed after all, she was not his only woman, and if he knew his identity and purpose, he would never have anything to do with him again.

Since you can't monopolize it, then let yourself destroy it with your own hands.

Of course, she also knows very well that she can't destroy him, and even if she comes forward to accuse, the lawsuit is very likely to be lost. He had the money to hire countless barristers to fight the lawsuit.

More critically, even the upper echelons just want to teach him a lesson, rather than really crushing him completely, because if that happens, the US government will be under unimaginable pressure.

He is not a simple businessman, not a simple rich man, he has a prominent reputation and countless fans all over the world. Although some people in the government hate him for dismantling the backstage of the United States and harming the interests of the United States, if he suppresses it too harshly if there is no real killer weapon, it will also lead to countless public opinion pressures.

The current Evan Zhou is not a woman, but can be suppressed casually by relying on some small things, not to mention that in the United States, he also has countless allies, if nothing else, he is really going to be arrested and put in prison, and it is good that those big corporations do not eat judges into their stomachs, because this may cause the stocks they buy to fall and lose countless money.

"Jessica, I think you can resign from a position in the state Department of Agriculture, such a position doesn't help you much in politics. You can keep your position on the Committee of Agriculture for the time being, and when the election is over, I will recommend you to become an assistant to a congressman at the right time, which will help you in Washington. ”

Jessica's heart moved and asked, "Which councilor?" ”

Zhou You didn't answer directly, and said: "I can't be sure now, but I promise that it will be a councilor who will be of great help to your career." ”

At this time, Jessica's heart was also a little moved, she was bent on calculating him, but he loved to think about himself. Although he arranged himself as a woman, but for his own sake, he did not go back to Los Angeles today, and staying with him for one more night was enough to satisfy her.

She kissed Zhou You's neck, and her hot and wet lips slid upwards and were imprinted on Zhou You's lips. "Evan, Cao I ......"

Zhou You turned over and pressed her under him, and said with a smile: "Have you recovered?" ”

Her limbs tangled up, and she gasped, "I'd rather die under you......"

The plane departed from Kansas and made a short stop in Philadelphia to pick up Paris and Gracia, along with three children and a nanny for them. As for their assistants and bodyguards, they had already taken a flight and went to Switzerland early.

The plane could only accommodate a dozen people, as well as Sanchez and Batistuta, so when it came to traveling, they had to split into two groups. However, when the circumferential 747 private jet is built, this will not be the case.

Although they departed from Kansas in the morning, due to the time difference, they arrived in St. Moritz in the evening local time.

In the deserted Alpine valleys, the golden lights add a little warmth to the world.

St. Moritz is one of the most fascinating holiday destinations in the world. This small city in the south-east of Switzerland has been blessed with a unique climate since ancient times. St. Moritz's dry, continental climate makes for a rich and varied landscape of four seasons, with lakes freezing in winter and snow in summer in July and August.

Tourism is the backbone of the city, and winter tourism is especially popular with celebrities and royalty from around the world. St. Moritz is also a paradise for winter sports, with a wide range of winter activities such as skiing, hiking, and tobogganing attracting countless sports enthusiasts every year. The only time Switzerland has ever hosted two Olympic Winter Games was in St. Moritz.

Winter tourism was born here 150 years ago. The first electric light in Switzerland, the first light rail, the first telephone in Graubünden, the first mountain golf tournament, the first energy-efficient hotel in the Alps, etc., also originated in St. Moritz. Nietzsche, Segantini and other masters have had an indissoluble bond with the city, which makes the city's culture and art particularly distinctive.

Although the city is small, with a total population of less than 5,000, it has eight five-star hotels, twenty-four four-star hotels, forty three-star hotels and nearly a hundred non-star hotels. No matter which star hotel you stay in, travelers can feel the charm of the city in a beautiful natural setting. It is one of the cities with the highest density of luxury hotels in the world.

The 300-metre-long Avenue de la Seres in the heart of the city is home to more than 50 of the world's top luxury brands, and the pace of new products is even faster than in Paris. High-end luxury apartments in St. Moritz are also among the top 10 most exclusive and expensive properties in the world. Many tycoons, politicians, and royals regularly come to St. Moritz for holidays every year.

The Kulm Hotel, where Prince Felipe and Orti stayed, is the oldest hotel in the town, the first luxury hotel in St. Moritz, and the first luxury hotel in the world.

Opened in 1856, the Kulm Hotel, overlooking Lake St. Moritz, was lit in 1878 by the first electric light in Switzerland, and in 1891 the first telephone in the canton of Graubünden was installed.

The car that came to greet the tour was a foreign guest car with diplomatic license plates brought by Prince Felipe and his entourage from Spain. Although these royal families are not as rich as Zhou You, they are more enjoyable than Zhou You.

I have seen so many introductions, but when I first saw the Kulm Hotel, I was a little disappointed. Because the appearance of this hotel looks too ordinary, two five- or six-storey pale yellow buildings one east and one west, and the middle is connected by a two-storey restaurant.

Although he is well aware that many hotels in Europe are not good on the outside and are mainly known for their service, he still feels that this place is a little unworthy of the name.

He also wants to enjoy the 1,200-square-meter hot springs and two-Michelin-starred restaurant, which he hopes will not disappoint him again.

He hugged Zhong'an, Gracia held Zhongge, and Paris hugged Nakahara and got out of the car. Since the temperature outside was minus 10 degrees, everyone talked a lot, and was welcomed into the hall by the hotel's service staff.

This time, Yan Fangqing and Zhongxuan, Zhongzhen didn't come over, and Yan Fangqing also had a lot of entertainment at home, so it was difficult to separate. What's more, Zhou You knew that there would be a super catastrophe in Southeast Asia in three days, and now Yan Fangqing needed to stay at home to make a reputation.

Therefore, although Yan Fangqing was a little reluctant, she was afraid that the child would not be able to stand the low temperature from the tropics to minus 10 degrees, so she had no choice but to stay in Singapore.
