However, after listening to Pedro's report, Guo immediately thought of a business opportunity - the acquisition of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company.

It can be said that although Guo Zhuocheng in this life has worked hard in the political arena, he also has a keen business acumen. After mastering the management of several world-class large companies, and after countless business operations, he has a more prominent business consciousness than ordinary businessmen, and he is reborn, so he knows how to operate better than many business tycoons.

He knows that in the near future, there will be a great boom in the American film market, and some excellent blockbusters will emerge one after another. If you rely on the memories of your past life, as long as you encounter blockbusters in your memory, you will immediately sign a contract with the owners of these blockbusters, and you will not make a lot of money in the future.

When you really retire from politics, you can still play tickets, plagiarize a few dramas, shoot a few movies, and then show them in your own theater, or take a few good movies from China to the United States to show up, and make some dollars, isn't it great?

Soon, Guo Zhuocheng called Princess Madeleine and instructed her to arrange for someone to buy Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company immediately.

Because 20th Century Fox Film Company provided this trade secret, when the people from IIC Company approached Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to propose the acquisition, they were in a hurry when they had just negotiated with 20th Century Fox Film Company, and they naturally accepted the olive branch extended by IIC.

As long as you can exchange the unsustainable company for cash, who is it not selling to? Knowing that the IIC company has nothing to do with the movie, if it is sold in the past, the future of the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company is uncertain, but the company's senior management still resolutely makes a decision: sell!

In order to speed up the acquisition, IIC agreed to the offer of Maple Leaf Film Distribution without any hesitation. Because IIC proposed to use the final offer made by Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to 20th Century Fox Film Company as the bottom line, it will be raised by up to 5%.

In order to get rid of the other party, the other party did not increase the 5 percent ceiling, and directly quoted the final price of $35 million to 20th Century Fox Film Company to IIC.

Although this offer obviously has some moisture to squeeze out, since this offer is the company's last offer to 20th Century Fox Films, it means that it was also reached after many rounds of difficult negotiations, and the final rupture shows that there is not much room for this price to fall. In order to save valuable time, the deep-pocketed IIC company did not dwell on it anymore.

Seeing that the price tends to be consistent, both sides can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The signing took place quickly and was initialled on the same day. Formal agreements and details also require experts and lawyers from both sides. That's not something that can be done in a short period of time. The initialing is not a formal contract, but it is still binding, and the parties will immediately make the relevant handover.

After the transfer of the information, the IIC company immediately proposed to hire the original management personnel of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to manage the company, and the salary package was increased by 10% from the original salary scale.

These management personnel were surprised and pleasantly surprised. I really didn't expect that my company would not be able to run so easily, and I would be the leader of a new company again.

Representatives of the IIC company soon signed the appointment for a period of three years. He didn't even have time to change the name of the company, so he assigned a task: to immediately prepare for the release and screening of "The Sinking of the Haiyan".

Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company claims to own 300 movie theaters, but in fact, many of these theaters do not include ownership, only temporary use rights, because these theaters are run in local leased venues. After the transfer to IIC, IIC will continue to pay the rent for these theaters on behalf of Maple Leaf Film Distribution.

Naturally, Pedro and others did not have to work hard to sell the rights to the film, but concentrated on inviting directors, film critics, and entertainment reporters from the United States or other countries in the United States to attend his reception. The IIC company also came forward to invite people related to the film industry. This time, the Chinese Embassy in the United States also invited relevant people to attend.

The advertisement put out by the IIC company was even more overwhelming, "A China you don't know." A movie. The advertising slogan "A Landscape" constantly appeared in television, radio, newspapers, and other media, and the Americans were bombarded in turn, and they couldn't pay attention to it.

Just when the IIC sent a capable team to prepare for the screening of "The Sinking of the Petrel" with the management of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, the United States also began to take action against Grenada.

The U.S. government used Grenada's military might as a huge threat to the lives of fishermen in the surrounding waters. At the same time, in order to ensure the civil liberties of those who oppose the government in Grenada, the US military announced a military blockade of Grenada:

No ship from Grenada is allowed to enter or leave the 50-nautical-mile blockade. At the same time, foreign ships are forbidden to approach Grenada for 50 nautical miles, and foreign ships leaving Grenada are not allowed to leave until they have been inspected by the US military; It is forbidden for any aircraft to fly over Grenada, otherwise it will be shot down.

The blockade operation was carried out by the US aircraft carrier formation "Independence" and the amphibious assault ship formation "Guam" to carry out an all-round sea and air blockade of Grenada.

At the same time as the blockade of Grenada was announced, the United States began preparations for a military strike: some of the US Army's Army Rangers and weapons and equipment were quickly transported to the small country of Barbados, which is only 250 kilometers away from Grenada, and the US and Turkish troops participating in the war also entered a state of readiness for war.

At the same time, the six Caribbean countries of Barbados, Jamaica, St. Sente, St. Lucia, Dominica and Antigua are also actively preparing for war, sending troops to assist in the preparations of the US military.

The commander-in-chief of the U.S. military is Admiral William McDonald, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, who is based in Washington; Commander of the 2nd Fleet, Vice Admiral Joseph Matcalfe, Field Commander.

The main combat forces that the US military plans to invest are: 15 ships of various types, mainly including one aircraft carrier (the "Independence," with a displacement of 780,000 tons, and 85 aircraft), one missile cruiser, one missile destroyer, and two destroyers, as well as five amphibious ships, including the 1.83-million-ton amphibious assault ship "Guam"; 230 land-based and carrier-based aircraft and helicopters of various types; The ground forces mainly include 1 brigade headquarters of the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army, 4 battalions (5,000 people), 2 battalions of the 75th Special Forces Regiment (700 people), and 1 reinforced battalion of the Marine Corps (1,900 people).

These troops are all "rapid deployment forces" of the United States. The fighting power is very strong.

In the face of US military preparations, the governments of Grenada and Cuba immediately protested against the US aggression, did not recognize the military blockade line announced by the United States, and warned the US side not to play with fire and set itself on fire, and Grenada will mobilize the whole people to eliminate an enemy who dares to invade.

The Soviet Union also strongly condemned the US military invasion at the first time, and declared that it would go all out to support Grenada's actions to defend its national sovereignty.

The Security Council also issued a statement calling on the two sides to engage in political dialogue and seek ways to resolve the issue.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry was instructed to issue a statement. He condemned the military action of the US team and hoped that all countries would find dialogue on the basis of the five basic principles of peaceful coexistence to resolve the current dispute and not further escalate the situation.

Britain issued a statement in support of the actions of the United States, which should overthrow the Grenada government, which oppressed the common people at home and bloodily slaughtered fishermen on the high seas abroad. Let the people elect their own government.

France, as always, has declared that it is paying attention to the development of events and hopes that the war between the two sides will not turn into a humanitarian catastrophe.

It can be said that the countries led by the Soviet Union opposed and protested against the actions of the United States, and vowed to give Americans a good look around the world with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. And NATO, led by the United States, supports the actions of the United States, arguing that the Grenada government should be overthrown and that they should uphold justice for the world. France is ostensibly neutral. But in his bones, he is happy to see it.

The Chinese-led ones shouted lively, but they didn't say anything cruel, they all strongly condemned and paid attention to anything.

All of a sudden, the world became sensitive, and the stock market volume shrank significantly. The futures market is also shrinking rapidly, and the price of gold has maintained minimal fluctuations, and media reporters are flocking out in search of news......

But countless people have tensed their fragile nerves, knowing that this is the calm before the storm. are waiting for the next development of the situation.

No one thought that this situation was broken by the Chinese. On the third day of the US announcement of the establishment of a 50-nautical-mile military blockade, the Chinese Ministry of Defense held a press conference. Defense Minister Qi Pengduo added a sentence after his routine condemnation and stern concern: "China reserves the right to take corresponding actions depending on the development of the situation."

After saying this, regardless of the excited reporter's question, Qi Pengduo left the scene.

But this sentence is like the first card to infer dominoes, when it spreads through the radio waves around the world, the world suddenly becomes chaotic and crazy, and television, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc., have reported and interpreted Qi Pengduo's words, speculating about the Chinese government's mentality and future actions......

And the financial market set off a jaw-dropping storm, and the fragile balance maintained in the previous two days was broken: the stock market volume was magnified tenfold, the Dow Jones index and the Nasdaq index fell sharply, and the stock markets in Tokyo, London, and Hong Kong went all the way down. Countless financial institutions and businesses have gone bankrupt, and speculators who were once squandered with money and now are destitute have jumped from skyscrapers around the world......

But bucking the market are the few stocks related to arms; The smiling faces are the brokers and investment managers of the investment department of the IIC; It was Guo Zhuocheng and Princess Madeleine who secretly laughed......

This sentence of the Chinese Ministry of Defense has already communicated with Guo Zhuocheng in advance. Guo Zhuocheng also arranged for Princess Madeleine to invest in this regard. Shorting a few major stock market indices in the futures market alone has made IIC companies a lot of money.
