Seeing the gambling king Kirk blowing his beard and glaring, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, I really want to buy MGM, if Mr. Kirk you think you can, I hope to cooperate with you!" ”

Kirk was silent.

Chen Xuanting smiled at the corner of his mouth again, "Of course, if you refuse, I won't be strong, after all, we are doing business, there is a saying in China, business does not become benevolent and righteous, we are still good friends!" ”

"Of course I'd love to work with you Thunder Group, but the price is just—" Kirk looked embarrassed.

"Hehe, what else is MGM worth to your entertainment empire? Your casino is still the most important thing for you, isn't it? ”

"Chairman Chen, you are wrong again, do you know what kind of important position MGM occupies in my gambling and entertainment empire? I can invite MGM's biggest stars to perform in my casinos and hotels at any time, and I can promote my casinos and hotels on a large scale in MGM movies – MGM is the golden sign of my entertainment empire. So its value to me is incalculable. Kirk, the gambling king, is really very calm, worthy of being a veteran of the shopping mall: "And now the reason why I can sit here and negotiate with Your Excellency on this is already a huge concession!" ”

Li Jiaxin snickered on the side, of course she knew what Kirk said when she was a temporary female secretary, she only felt that this old guy was very thick-skinned, and he dared to say anything about the entertainment empire in front of Chen Xuanting, Thunder controlled so many media and television stations and the film industry without saying what kind of entertainment empire he came from.

Of course, Chen Xuanting didn't care about this literal meaning, Kirk wanted to put gold on his face, so he let him paste enough. He knew very well that Kirk was absolutely willing to sell MGM, firstly, he could cash out after selling to solve his financial difficulties, and secondly, he could also throw away this hot potato, which was definitely the best of both worlds. It's just that in terms of price, he asks for the greatest benefit, but unfortunately, Chen Xuanting is not the kind of person who is easy to be "generous", and he is also concerned about money.

However, Chen Xuanting was not really willing to hang himself from this tree, he asked Stephen Chow to go to the United States to contact Paramount's people, also because he was ready to cast a net to fish in many ways, but MGM was the key company he acquired, and if the acquisition could not be negotiated, he would not mind stopping there. So Chen Xuanting said to Kirk bluntly: "Mr. Kirk, I think we have talked so much, there is no place to communicate between us, since you bite the price of MGM, I can't help it, welcome you to Hong Kong, or that sentence, business is not benevolent, then I wish you a smooth journey!" After Chen Xuanting said these words, he got up and stood.

When the gambling king Kirk saw Chen Xuanting's move, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Dear Chairman Chen, we still have room for negotiation, otherwise, we will take a step back, you add some points, and I will reduce them, so that the deal will not be done?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled, where is the world gambling king in front of him, he is completely a vegetable vendor on the vegetable market, but then again, all businesses in this world are actually the same as selling vegetables, they are all accommodating to each other and make a deal if they can, after all, it is a loss or a profit, everyone knows it in their hearts.

"Okay, I'll make another price-" Chen Xuanting slapped him in the face, "One price, five billion!" If you want, I will immediately ask my female secretary and lawyer to draft a contract, if you don't want to, then I have no choice but to cooperate next time! ”

Seeing that Chen Xuanting's tone was so determined, the gambling king Kirk knew. This is the last chance, gritting his teeth, "Okay, deal!" After all, $5 billion is not a small amount, and MGM is now in debt, although the selling price is far from what he had in mind, it is good to be able to sell at such a price.

Chen Xuanting smiled, "I knew that Mr. Kirk was a beautiful friend!" Come, I wish us a happy cooperation! "Stretched out his hand.

Gambling King Kirk smiled bitterly, "Happy cooperation!" The two shook hands and smiled.

October 1 is the traditional National Day of Chinese mainland, but for Hong Kong people who have not yet returned to the land, this day is not very important, but Chen Xuanting bets that today will be the most memorable day in the history of Hong Kong cinema. Because the news at today's press conference will definitely shake the media and entertainment industry around the world.

On this day, the smile on Chen Xuanting's face was absolutely bright, but Stephen Chow deliberately had a serious look on his face in order to behave differently. Standing in front of the long table, Chen Xuanting stood up and said to the surrounding media reporters: "I invited friends from the media industry today to announce a few news, I think everyone must be very interested!" ”

The audience was silent for a moment, Chen Xuanting grinned, and his white teeth shone under the flashlight: "The first news I will announce as the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Thunder Group that the Thunder Entertainment Company under our group has successfully acquired the American film company MGM-!" ”

Everyone is obviously not surprised by this news, after all, it has been rumored that Thunder Entertainment wants to acquire MGM before, but to everyone's surprise, the acquisition was successful!

What is MGM?

Hollywood's most senior veteran film company with a history of more than 60 years!

But now, such a bullish company has been acquired by Thunder Entertainment! Acquired by the Chinese!

What is this concept? Chinese movies are rising!

After a burst of consternation, the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

"The second news is that I still announce in this capacity, after our Thunder Group successfully acquired MGM Studios Hollywood, our company has successfully acquired another Hollywood film company, Paramount, for four billion dollars!! As for specific matters, you can ask Mr. Stephen Chow. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone stared at Chen Xuanting in disbelief. Even if you buy MGM, even Paramount will buy it too?! We're not dreaming, are we? Acquired two of Hollywood's famous Seven King Kongs in one go! All of a sudden, the noisy scene can be imagined.

Stephen Chow and Chen Xuanting glanced at each other, they both knew that this would have an effect, he coughed and stood up, and those reporters had a clearer mind, and they raised their hands to ask questions. Stephen Chow's first question was, of course, Ming Pao, a subsidiary of the Thunder Group, and in fact, "Ming Pao" has become the first of the three major newspapers in the local area.

"May I ask Master Zhou, does the Thunder Group's acquisition of MGM and Paramount plan to shift the focus of the film industry to North America?" This reporter's question is so outlandish that no one else can even think of it.

Chen Xuanting and Stephen Chow were both stunned, this reporter's brain is really good enough, so quickly he remembered the phenomenon of Hong Kong directors entering Hollywood on a large scale that has been happening.

Stephen Chow's face showed a slight smile: "Now that Hong Kong is the largest film production area outside of Hollywood, what reason do you think we should give up everything in Hong Kong and go to North America to start over?" ”

"May I ask Master Xing, does Thunder's acquisition of MGM and Paramount mean that the acquisition and annexation of Thunder Group is over!" This is a reporter from Asia Weekly, who always likes to compete in finance: "We all know that the Thunder has made quite a few acquisitions and mergers in the past few years, and the two acquisitions of MGM and Paramount must be able to stop the Thunder's expansion!" ”

"I don't deny that the pace of expansion of the Thunder is too big, and there are dozens of companies under the command of the huge flagship of the Thunder at present." Stephen Chow suddenly smiled lightly: "However, this does not mean that Thunder's strategy will change much in the future, at least in the short term!" ”

It is undeniable that the Thunder's wholly-owned acquisition of MGM and Paramount is quite a sensational event.

On the same day, MGM and Paramount in North America also held a press conference to announce the news to reporters. The Asian and European media, who are very familiar with Thunder, are shocked, believing that Thunder is about to build its own global entertainment media system.

In the United States, newspapers and magazines such as the Wall Street Newspaper have expressed considerable shock at this. In addition, they all stabbed hard in the article, saying that a few years ago, Sony became the owner of Colombia and staged it again, but this time, the protagonist became the Oriental miracle, and swallowed two old film companies in one bite, and even said in a tearful tone that Hollywood is about to become a foreigner's industry.

Chen Xuanting didn't care about this, the pressure of public opinion encountered by Sony when he became in Colombia was far greater than that of the Thunder, and he didn't live a good life. The American media is up to them to say what they like, and besides, the newspapers and magazines controlled by the United States are saying good things about the thunder.

In fact, when the Thunder stepped on Hollywood, it was inevitable, that is, Hollywood itself was able to know about it. After all, the Thunder has occupied all the markets outside of North America, and the only thing left is Hollywood. Anyone would have chosen it this way. It's just that Americans don't seem to be willing to think about it, or they don't dare to think about it

After the press conference, Chen Xuanting returned home, but saw that his father Chen Darong and sister-in-law Zhen had already prepared the meal.

Although the power of the Chen family has been monstrous in recent years, Chen Darong and Sister-in-law Zhen are still very unaccustomed to being served and served, especially in the company, they are gradually on the right track, like Chen Darong and Sister-in-law Zhen's level of education, they can no longer help in the company, and the two of them have nothing to do, if they don't do some housework, they will die of loneliness.

Seeing them like this, Chen Xuanting could only shake his head, and said to Chen Darong and Sister-in-law Zhen: "You two elders don't have to do this, just let the servants do housework like cooking." ”

Chen Darong didn't buy his account, and said, "How can it be the same, can the maid make it taste the same as what I do?" Besides, this is what you always think about me and my sister-in-law to you, your kid doesn't eat vegetables, do you understand? ”

Chen Xuanting smiled bitterly, I don't know when this originally cool father became a little gossip and gossip, maybe he was in a much more cheerful mood, or maybe the environment changed everything.

Then again, hasn't you changed your self now?!

"Hehe, I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that you two elders will be tired." Chen Xuanting had to help himself excuse himself.

"What are you tired of, I used to be able to help in your company, but now even if I go to be a cleaner, you say, we are all in such good health, we can't lie at home with a full stomach and wait for death, right?" Chen Darong glared at his son angrily.

Chen Xuanting smiled bitterly again, it turned out that the last time Chen Darong secretly went to the company to apply for a cleaner, who knew that he was discovered by the human resources department as soon as he appeared. Later, Chen Xuanting also knew about it, so he couldn't help but say a few words to him, to the effect that he should pay attention to his identity, after all, he, the president, still has to take care of many subordinates, if his father really goes to be a cleaner, he will be laughed at. I didn't expect Chen Darong to be so cautious and mention it here.

Sister-in-law Zhen couldn't help but feel funny when she saw the father and son staring at each other, and said, "Okay, are you going to eat, or are you bickering?" The food is almost cold! ”

Chen Xuanting hurriedly looked for an opportunity to go down the steps and said: "Okay, Dad, I know I'm wrong, but if you really feel bored at home, go to the auction or charity meeting, I'll give you a card, you can buy whatever you want, donate as much as you want!" ”

"I don't need to say it, I have already donated 10 million yuan to China's Hope Project, and I have sponsored more than 30 children in Yunnan, as well as three giant pandas in Sichuan!"

Chen Xuanting almost squirted out a mouthful of rice, "Xiong...... Panda? Dad, when did you have this hobby? ”

"Pick, your precious son is always not around, and I can't adopt three national treasures?"

Chen Xuanting was speechless. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and asked, "Why didn't you see Nana?" ”

The Nana in Chen Xuanting's mouth is the daughter of Zhen's sister-in-law, and she is also Chen Xuanting's cheap sister Zhou Xiuna.

Sister-in-law Zhen sighed and said, "This girl, when she is older, she is a little wild." I don't know where to play for a while! ”

As he was talking, he heard a crisp sound of footsteps outside, and saw Xiao Zhou Xiuna walking in dressed like a princess, next to the driver who was responsible for protecting and picking him up.

"Who's talking about me? Mom, are you talking bad about me to Brother Xuanting again? ”

Looking at his sister's delicate and cute appearance, Chen Xuanting only felt a burst of warmth.

"No, she's praising you!"

"No, I don't believe it!" Nana suddenly snuggled up to Chen Xuanting and sat in his arms, "Good brother, just tell me, does my mother always say something bad about me?" ”

Chen Xuanting didn't feel anything at first, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, Nana used to snuggle up to him, but that was because he thought she was a little girl, but now - obviously the little girl has grown up, especially the small longbao on the chest, which has vaguely had the prototype of the wave god.

"Ahem," Chen Xuanting hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and took the opportunity to put Nana down, and said: "Don't mess around, everyone is talking and playing, who dares to say you-come, my brother will give you a slice of your favorite shiitake mushroom!" ”

Nana saw him like this, so she gave up, so Chen Xuanting took the mushroom into her mouth with chopsticks, ate it deliciously, and said, "The mushroom that Brother Xuanting sandwiches is fragrant!" ”

"You girl, you know that your brother Xuanting kisses you!" Sister-in-law Zhen lovingly touched her daughter's hair.

"Hehe, I just want Brother Xuanting to only love myself for the rest of my life!" Nana said with a small face.

"Silly girl, your brother Xuanting is going to get married in the future, and he will give birth to a baby after getting married, and you won't be so happy at that time!"

"No, I don't want Brother Xuanting to get married, and I don't want him to have a baby-" Nana pouted.

Everyone looked at her like this, and thought she was just a child fooling around, and they just laughed it off.

But where do they know Xiao Zhou Xiuna's thoughts, when I grow up, I must marry Brother Ting, even if I give birth to a baby, I will give birth to him - it's just that I heard that it hurts...... But for the sake of Brother Ting, I don't have to be afraid of anything!

………… After dinner, as soon as Chen Xuanting returned to his bedroom, he heard a knock on the door, and then his father Chen Darong walked in.

Seeing that Chen Xuanting was burying his head in sorting out the documents again, he coughed and said, "Ah Ting." I have something to say to you—"

Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, what else do our father and son avoid?" He picked up the glass of water and looked at his father with a smile.

"Well, that's what you said." Chen Darong sat on the chair with his butt, and then said, "I want to hug my grandson!" ”

Poof! Chen Xuanting squirted out a sip of tea and sprayed it directly on his father's face.

Chen Darong wiped his face, "You don't have to react so much, right?" I just spoke my mind. ”

"Ahem. Dad, even if you really want to hold your grandson, someone has to be willing to give you a baby-" Chen Xuanting hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to his father.

Chen Darong wiped his face with a tissue and said, "So I asked you to get married early, but you just didn't listen, look, now Yaoyang has grabbed you in front of you-"

Speaking of Lei Yaoyang, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but think of the photos sent back from Hawaii by this old friend not long ago, showing his happiness and romance, lying under the sun umbrella on the beach Cai Shaofen fed him grapes, and he helped Cai Shaofen surf together in the sea, and the two were very happy.
