Chapter 145: MGM's Greatest Treasure
readx;
finally ended the filming of the first part of "Transformers", and the entire crew returned to Los Angeles, USA. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because some crew members are not adapted to the cold weather in Alaska, they are unwell or even sick, in this case, the director is also very understanding, and announced a two-day break, so that everyone can have a time to relax.
The crew is idle, but Han Quanyou has no time to be idle, after all, Han Quanyou is not only an actor and screenwriter of "Transformers", but also secretly the boss of MGM Pictures. Harry? Sloan made a phone call saying that there was something important, and Han Kwonwoo had to find a reason to take a leave of absence, from the crew's rush to MGM Pictures' headquarters.
"Old Harry, what is there that is important for me to rush back. You know, I just got back from terrible Alaska some time ago, and I'd love to take a break right now. ”
Find Harry? Sloan, Han Quanyou was not polite at all, and asked directly.
"Hehe, Lee, don't be like this, I believe that the reason for calling you back this time will definitely make you very satisfied. Don't talk about resting, when you know everything, you're probably like a superman, even if you work for a week without resting, you won't feel tired. ”
Harry? Sloane lifted his glasses, smirking with a hint of show-off and show-off.
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Listen to Harry? As soon as Sloan said this, Han Quanyou's curiosity also came up. During this time, because of MGM Pictures' high foreign debt, Han Quanyou really didn't see Harry? Sloane, the old fox, laughed. And this time Harry? Sloane, the old fox, smiled, not only laughing, but also smiling from the heart, which made Han Quanyou very curious.
For Harry, though? Sloan's words, Han Kwonwoo still disagreed. After learning the news, I will be full of energy, and I will become a superman and I will not feel tired after working for a week. It's all, I need to torture myself so much now, and this description is very bad, what a superman, buddy doesn't like that red panties.
"Hehe, Lee, in fact, you don't say it, I also know, in fact, although you don't say anything on the surface about letting you stay at MGM Studios, I understand that you must have opinions and emotions in your heart."
Looking at Han Kwonwoo with a calm face, Harry? Sloan sighed helplessly. For Han Quanyou, although he only had the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Harry? Sloan really didn't expect to catch a life-saving grass.
Especially when Han Kwon Woo came up with a billion dollars to relieve the pressure on MGM Pictures' foreign debt, it made Harry? Sloan was very curious about Han Kwonwoo's identity, and although the investigation was inconclusive, Harry? In Sloan's thoughts, Han Quanyou must be a descendant of a large family in South Korea, and he has a super high status.
Otherwise, Han Quanyou would not have taken out a billion dollars casually, this is not a few dollars, and he can take it out. And after investigating Han Kwonwoo's identity and background, Harry? Sloan is very sure that Han Quanyou must have a lot of power behind him, otherwise, with Han Quanyou from his debut to the present, let alone a billion dollars, I'm afraid even if it is 100 million dollars, if you want to be so bold and don't care at all, it is impossible.
Harry? Although Sloan doesn't know Han Quanyou's specific identity, he doesn't need to know Han Quanyou's specific identity, as long as he knows that Han Quanyou is indeed rich and can save MGM Pictures, which is enough.
It's this series uh why, so Harry? Sloan hesitated for a long time, and also observed Han Quanyou for a long time, and found that Han Quanyou really wanted to save MGM Pictures, so he gritted his teeth and made this decision.
Didn't expect Harry? Sloan could have been so direct and looked at Harry curiously? Sloane glanced at it, Han Quanyou rolled his eyes, sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette and said lightly: "If it were you, what would you say." ”
The meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, I just have an opinion, that's for sure, isn't that equivalent to nonsense!
See Harry? Sloan wanted to explain something, but Han Quanyou waved his hand casually and stretched out a finger to look at Harry? Sloan said seriously: "Moreover, the means are not very good, it can be said that I am completely a newcomer, I don't understand anything, I was tricked in by you and pulled in." To put it seriously, that's how good I am, and I was pulled into this quagmire by you, and if MGM Pictures can't bring me back to life, then I'm completely equivalent to dying with you and MGM Pictures now. Of course I have an opinion, and I still have a big opinion. This is simply a natural disaster [***], I am so decent, and I was pitted by you for no reason. ”
Harry? Sloane's face kept changing color when Han Quanyou said, as if he wanted to prove that people were no worse than chameleons' color-changing abilities.
However, in response to Han Kwonwoo's words, Harry? Sloan didn't say anything, just a little ashamed. Although what Han Quanyou said was very polite, in general, everything he said was true, and Han Quanyou could be said to be completely unjustified.
"Ahem, I know, I know." Seeing that Han Quanyou's tone of voice became heavier and heavier, it was obvious that Han Quanyou's heart was very dissatisfied with the memory, Harry? Sloan coughed awkwardly a few times, and quickly explained: "I know all this is my fault, but Lee, you must know that you are now the number one shareholder of MGM Films, and the absolute ruler." If this news is revealed, you think about it, what a beautiful thing it will be! ”
"I didn't see the scenery, I only saw a deadly quagmire, and in order to save my life, I have thrown a billion dollars into it that I don't know if I can recover!"
Han Kwon Woo shook his head, looking at Harry with disdain and disdain? Sloane, once again let Harry? Sloane's face changed drastically. Now Han Quanyou is considered to be a turtle and a wise man, and he doesn't care about these illusory things at all.
At the end of the day, it's really the best. At the beginning, it was because I was stupid, I only saw the glory and status of MGM Pictures on the surface, and I was too greedy. Thinking that as long as the words cost a little, he could become the head of MGM Pictures, only to lose his mind, too excited, Harry? Sloane's tiger was fooled.
In this case, one time is enough, and there can never be a second time!
"Hey~~~ Forget it, old Harry, anyway, it's like this now, it's useless to say this, let's not mention it. If you mention it again, I'm afraid I really won't be able to control my emotions. Say, what's the matter with such a mysterious person coming to me? ”
Too lazy to talk to Harry? Sloan was doing Tai Chi like this, and Han Quanyou asked Harry very directly this time? What is the reason why Sloan came to him? Han Quanyou is really scared, and when the time comes to mention the original incident, he will really kill Harry in a rage? Sloane, the old guy.
"Okay, okay then, Lee, do you have half a billion dollars?" At this point, Harry? Sloane's expression became extremely serious, and he looked at Han Quanyou and asked seriously.
Listen to Harry? Sloan's words, Han Quanyou subconsciously thought that it was because MGM Pictures didn't have enough money now, or maybe a creditor came to the door and wanted to ask him for money. Thinking of this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but get up from the sofa excitedly and stared at Harry? Sloan asked, "Five hundred million dollars, what?" Just give the company a billion dollars, don't you say, it's only in such a short period of time, there will be no more! ”
Harry? Sloan nodded with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "It's really not!" ”
Han Quanyou was stunned, and it took a long time to react: "No, big brother, you can't cheat me like this, how can you say that now we are all people on the same front, we are all from MGM Films, and we are our own people." It's okay for you to pit anyone, but don't come to pit me. A billion dollars, in less than a year, you tell me that there is no money, where is this money spent? ”
Harry? Sloan sighed: "Hey~~~ Really lee, I'm not greedy for this billion dollars and a penny, it's really gone." Before one billion dollars, nearly $600 million was repaid debts, and the remaining $400 million, of which 100 million was used as the company's working capital to maintain the normal operation of the company, and 100 million was spent on other aspects of the movie "Transformers", and there were originally $200 million, but recently there were creditors who came to the door to urge them urgently, and even directly said that if they didn't repay the money, they would directly let the court summons, I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't do it! ”
Blinded, completely blinded, how can this be, without such a whole person! Give a little money, and suddenly a creditor comes to the door and threatens with a court summons, which is not forced to pay back. If this continues, MGM Pictures will not talk about coming back to life, and God will forbid if it doesn't die worse.
If it goes on like this, who can bear it and support it! But something has happened, and Han Quanyou can't help it, after all, Han Quanyou is also very afraid of the big killer weapon of the American court summons. Not only does it have to play what survey, it takes a long time, but it also costs a lot of money to fight a lawsuit. In particular, if it goes too far, it will even freeze MGM Pictures' funds and prohibit MGM Pictures from taking any work.
How can you get it like this, you know, now Han Kwon Woo hopes to relieve the pressure on MGM Pictures by releasing "Transformers" as soon as possible. If the time drags on like this, MGM Pictures can't afford it.
What's more, MGM Pictures does owe money to others, and even if it does go to court, I'm afraid it will be more defeated than won.
Thinking of this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but say in frustration: "So, the movie "Transformers" that we are filming now has no production fee. ”
"It's gone, it's all taken for money. Shet~~~ The company definitely has an inner ghost, I don't know who told our company the remaining funds, the other party came to force the debt is the only money left in our company, no more, no less, no inner ghost, I don't believe it. ”
Thinking of the creditor who came to the door this time, he said very directly that MGM Pictures must repay the money, and the price must be 240 million US dollars, which is not negotiable. $240 million is just the largest amount of money that MGM Pictures can come up with without shaking the company.
For this situation, say that there is no internal ghost in the company, kill Harry? Sloane, Harry? Sloan wouldn't believe it either.
"So what do you say now?" Han Kwon Woo spread his hands and asked Harry? Sloane. I have the money, but if I continue to play like this, no amount of money I have will be able to fill this hole. If you want to take the money yourself, it's okay, you have to give yourself a reason, a reason to pay attention to make yourself willing to take out the money.
"For 500 million dollars, I will sell you the last treasure of MGM Pictures, the greatest pride!" Harry? Sloan stretched out his hand seriously, gestured and said word by word.
"500 million dollars, MGM Pictures' biggest treasure and pride to sell me, what the hell does that mean. Could it be that MGM's greatest treasure and pride does not belong to me? What the hell does this mean, I'm not the biggest shareholder of MGM Pictures right now, why are there still things that aren't mine! ”
Han Quanyou was furious, he didn't expect that he had now become the largest shareholder of MGM Films, and there was still one of the biggest treasures and pride that did not belong to him within MGM Films. At this moment, Han Quanyou felt that he had been deceived and looked miraculously angry.
"Five hundred million dollars, MGM Studios' last treasure and greatest pride, and I will sell it to you. When the time comes, I will also explain it to you, so that you feel that you have not been deceived. And I can assure you that just half a billion dollars, it's definitely worth the money. If it weren't for the thought of forcibly pulling you into MGM Pictures, I would definitely feel a little guilty about you, and you really want MGM Pictures to get back on its feet now. Otherwise, let alone 500 million dollars, even if it is a billion dollars, I will not sell it to you! ”
Harry? Sloan didn't pay attention to Han Quanyou's anger, but continued to say calmly, I'll give you the answer if you give money, if you don't give money, you don't want to know what it is.
See Harry? With such a rare resolute attitude, Han Quanyou also hesitated. $500 million, for Han Quanyou, who originally planned to spend $2 billion at MGM Pictures, was originally in the plan, and if he gave it, he would give it, and it was no big deal.
But if you give it directly like this, Han Quanyou will also feel a little uncomfortable, after all, Owen also said before that he must let Harry? Sloan and the others begged themselves, and when they felt hopeless, they would stand up like an angel and become a savior.
But look at Harry? Sloane is the way he is now, and it's clear that he doesn't give money, Harry? Sloan would never tell himself the answer. And for Harry? The last treasure and biggest pride of MGM Pictures that Sloan said, Han Quanyou was also very curious, what is it, it needs 500 million US dollars, this is just himself, if it is replaced by someone else, it will be a billion dollars, Harry? Sloan won't sell either.
"What the hell is maybe something, you just say, I want to see if it's worth my $500 million!" After thinking for a while, Han Quanyou asked lightly. Han Kwonwoo admits that he is really curious about Harry? Sloan called MGM Pictures' last treasure and greatest pride.
"This is not good, this is a transaction, you can only get the answer if you take the money first." Harry? Sloane shook his head, still insisting on it.
At this moment, Han Quanyou fell into hesitation again, and kept walking back and forth in the office, thinking about whether to give the money or not.
"To whom is this money for, MGM Pictures or to you?" A few minutes later, Han Kwonwoo stopped and looked at Harry? Sloan asked earnestly.
"It's for me!" Harry? Sloane replied without thinking.
"No, if you give you 500 million dollars, you plan to flash directly with this money, and leave me such a big mess, you are too much. Also, why should I give you 500 million dollars, this thing is not the last treasure and the greatest pride of MGM Pictures, it should belong to MGM Pictures, why should I give you money! ”
Harry? Sloan smiled, and then said as a matter of course: "Of course, the thing was sold to you, and of course this money should be given to me, because this thing is said to be MGM Pictures, but it is actually mine." After all, this thing is only temporarily lent to MGM because of my relationship with MGM Pictures. It doesn't belong to MGM Pictures, it belongs to me, Harry? Sloane. So if you want to buy this thing, you have to give me this money. ”
Harry? Sloane said proudly, his face full of pride. However, behind the pride, there is still some loss and reluctance. Looks like if he wasn't forced to do anything about it, Harry? Sloan was also reluctant to sell this thing to Han Quanyou.
Harry? The reluctance in Sloane's eyes was discovered by Han Quanyou, seeing Harry? The reluctance in Sloane's eyes, Han Quanyou couldn't help but be stunned, what was it that made Harry? Sloane looked reluctant.
After thinking about it for a long time, Han Quanyou finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I bet this time." I'll buy the thing you said for $500 million, and I'll transfer it to you right now. "Speaking of which, Han Quanyou stared at Harry with his eyes? Sloane said with a threatening face: "I hope your stuff won't let me down, at least make me think it's worth half a billion dollars!" ”
In the face of Han Kwonwoo's threat, Harry? Sloan looked very calm, and said with an affirmative face: "Of course, since it is the last treasure and the greatest pride of MGM Studios, then from any point of view, it is definitely worth half a billion dollars!" ”
