Chapter 504: Window of the World (1)
The metal globe logo of the superstar, if anyone walks here, will see this Hollywood landmark, the logo of Universal.
In a building more than 20 floors high, a black hand caressed the information that had just been sent, and on his dark face, his barely visible eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and the tall black man looked at the report in front of him and did not say a word.
"When?" After a long time, the black man asked in a deep voice.
"Just yesterday." The white young man in front of him said respectfully: "Mr. Onassis, we have tried to increase the price, but according to the news, the other party has eaten up to more than 30 million US dollars in one go. ”
"No bargaining?"
"Nope. Sir, not only us, but also the leather bag companies that continue to bid, as well as Warner's subordinates and Fox's subordinates, have all tried to increase the price. After all, Luen Mei Cinema Line is one of the few theaters that does not sell theaters at a loss, and their potential is still not small after evaluation, but the three of us are all on the top of 35 million, but the other party increased to 40 million in one go, and signed an acquisition intention on the spot. ”
Onassis's brows furrowed more and more, and after a long while, he waved his hand, "Get out." ”
Problematic! It's so problematic!
As the executive director of Universal, he knows very well who is behind the Big Six in Hollywood.
It is the capital support of Wall Street and the constant entry of tycoons from all walks of life that make Hollywood more and more prosperous.
In other words...... He poured a cup of coffee and took a deep breath, the Big Six, in fact, were six huge divisions, such as Columbia Pictures, which, in his memory, were behind the Gulf Western Group before they were acquired by the hateful Japanese. Or so you can call it: the Columbian film division of the Gulf Occidental Group.
This is not the case with the Globe.
Because of this, the cash in their hands is not as much as they imagined, 500 million US dollars a year, which is already too much. Therefore, there is a phenomenon that the director of the company was acquired.
None of them are real players, the real players are the giants of Wall Street, and each film company belongs to you today and belongs to him tomorrow, in fact, it is the result of the giants buying and selling.
Therefore, 40 million is already one-tenth of the cash for them, and anyone who buys a theater chain will be cautious, who has the courage to eat it in one go?
The most important thing is that the company that ate Luen Mei has an annual profit of at least hundreds of millions of net profits, which is a signal, a signal to enter Hollywood, and they have not announced it?
According to the convention, once the acquisition intention is signed, it is something that can be written about, and this mysterious company is tightly covered.
The long life in the mall has made him smell danger.
He rolled his eyes several times, took out a pen, and quickly began to write.
"First...... It may be foreign capital admission...... Could it be the damned Japanese again? They didn't buy enough in '85 to '90? That's why they didn't dare to announce it, for fear of being resisted? Is it Panasonic? Toshiba? …… Wrong...... According to the habit of these Japanese people, a company of this level, they will definitely make a big deal about it like Sony back then......" He frowned and stopped writing, but he couldn't write anymore.
It's not Japan...... Australia? Canada? United Kingdom?
One by one was ruled out, because the companies he thought about had a characteristic, that is, they could all play a few games with the giants behind Hollywood, and out of the basic principle that everyone would not harm their interests, in the end, no one would care, let you do it.
In that case, why cover it up?
"FUCK......" he looked at the words on the paper with a headache: "Who the hell ate Lianmei?" ”
After thinking about it, he let out a breath in his nostrils and continued to write, "Second, no matter what foreign capital, if he eats Lianmei, he doesn't have such a great ability to cover it...... Yuji's detective power is more terrifying than our company, and it can always get some limelight...... It's Hollywood after all, and they can't do that. Unless ......"
He put down the pen, his eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled softly: "Unless...... Someone from the Big Six helped him build it......"
"He's still a man of great energy...... Probably one of the CEOs......"
He picked up the paper and blew it, the first one, not sure. The second, however, he immediately affirmed.
He grabbed the phone, rang for a long time, and finally answered: "HELLO, DEAR JACK. Mr. Trout, are you in the office now? I haven't seen you in a long time, haha...... Where, where...... Oh, yes, I'd like to ask your company to help investigate a little thing......"
New York, Qin Yuanfeng looked at Jack with a smile, Zhong Han sat next to him, Jack hung up the phone, and shrugged helplessly: "I really don't know why you have to eat Lianmei, and at such a fast speed." Just now, Onassis, the executive director of Universal, has called me and asked me, what do you want me to say? ”
Qin Yuanfeng smiled and ignored the other party at all. This old man belongs to the kind of person who can shine on himself if he gives a little sunshine, and he can spontaneously turn to the sun if he gives a little sun.
"Not only that, but soon, the famous consulting firm in New York will receive calls from several other giants, and your actions are too big. There will be risks. ”
"Risk is always compared to profit." Qin Yuanfeng finally opened his mouth and said with a light smile: "If the benefits of acquiring Luen Mei are greater than the risk of letting Hollywood resist me, why don't I do it?" ”
Jack looked at him for a long time, shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and acted in one go: "Are you crazy, a third-level theater chain, threatening the whole of Hollywood?" ”
Qin Yuanfeng didn't want to take on this topic: "Why hasn't the director of the New York Bureau of Commerce and Trade been there?" He doesn't know me, does he? ”
"No one has published your photo......" Zhong Han was about to rip off when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
With a call to enter, a small white man, about forty years old, with a large hooked nose and a pair of crystal glasses, walked in with a smile on his face.
"Oh...... Dear Lee. It's a pleasure to meet you. The man smiled and shook hands with Qin Yuanfeng, Qin Yuanfeng did not use his real name, in order to prevent some accidents, he made up the name of James Lee.
Everyone sat down, and the man smiled and bowed: "The first time we met, I was Anard, the director of the New York City Bureau of Commerce and Trade. Mr. Lee is from the Shaw Brothers, right? Heard...... Shaw Brothers has a movie that you want to shoot in New York? It could be up to millions of dollars before and after? ”
Qin Yuanfeng smiled slightly, sure enough...... Profit is the devil. Tens of millions of dollars in government funds made the director of Annard come to the ground.
"Yes." Qin Yuanfeng elegantly picked up the coffee and raised it, and Anade hesitated: "Excuse me, Mr. Li is Japanese?" ”
The smile on Qin Yuanfeng's face slowly converged, leaving only a faint touch on the corner of his mouth.
Guessed wrong, Anald's smile remained the same: "I'm sorry, I'm not sure about the Japanese and Korean surnames." Is it Korean? ”
Qin Yuanfeng completely restrained his smile and gently put down the coffee cup.
The crisp sound of "dang" was very light, but it made Anad break out in a cold sweat.
Not Japan? Not South Korea?
What other country in Asia has invested heavily in making movies? I heard that this set of shots costs 10 million US dollars before and after, how much does it cost to shoot the whole movie?
Suddenly, he slapped his hands lightly, smiled apologetically, and laughed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know that Mr. Zhong is from Hong Kong, but Mr. Zhong didn't say where Mr. Li is." Mr. Li is also from Hong Kong, what a place......"
"I'm from the mainland." Qin Yuanfeng's faint voice made all of Anade's words hold in his stomach. At the same time, the eyeballs are about to fall out.
"You...... Is it a mainlander? China? China? He exclaimed involuntarily.
Without it, in this era, in the United States, real Chinese, Chinese companies are simply rare, there are many Chinese, there are many Chinese, but there are no Chinese companies!
"What do you think......" Qin Yuanfeng crossed his fingers on the table, and looked directly at Annard with a meaningful smile: "Mainlanders can only help Japanese, South Korean, and Hong Kong companies work?" ”
"Or is there only Japan and South Korea in Asia?"
"That's not what I meant!" Annard almost dripped, and immediately spoke, his voice involuntarily a little high, making everyone around him look here.
"I'm so sorry." His heartbeat was a little faster, the smile of Mr. Li on the other side was very dangerous, if the other party misunderstood what he just said, it could already be regarded as an insult, millions of dollars in government funds, if it was canceled because of these three sentences, he would die.
Qin Yuanfeng looked at him lightly for a few seconds, and nodded: "I didn't misunderstand, I think, let's talk about business." ”
"Okay...... Okay......" Annard took out his silk scarf and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and his heartbeat slowed down. Pick up the warm coffee and start adding milk to it. At the same time, the eyes that looked at Qin Yuanfeng already brought a touch of curiosity.
Following the Japanese ...... After South Korea, did Chinese capital also start to explode?
But...... Does China have capital?
"Here's the script, you can take a look at it first, oh, I add, here's the shot in the script to be filmed in New York, and the list of our rental fees." Qin Yuanfeng raised his head, and Zhong Han immediately handed over a piece of information knowingly.
Anad smiled and took it, he liked the milky coffee, and poured the milk for a while before stirring it with a spoon at a constant speed.
The script has no name, only a general synopsis, not even the name of the protagonist, there are too many companies that make movies in New York every year, as a city that has been visited by the most aliens in history, the city that has experienced the most disasters, and the city that has been destroyed the most times, he can only say that he is honored to be in New York. Also familiar with this kind of process.
"Big deals...... he sighed with a smile, took a sip from his coffee cup, and said with a smile: "Lamborghini Concept, Maserati, Citroen, Rolls-Royce...... These cars alone are ...... Only...... Only! ”
In the next second, he trembled all over, just like a sieve of chaff, trembling extremely much, just what, he couldn't say anything in his mouth, but saw a living ghost, staring at the script.
He trembled and picked up the coffee cup and sent it to his mouth, and finally delivered it, and just took a sip, but coughed suddenly.
"Ahem, ahem!" He coughed so much that his face turned red, slapped the script on the table, stared at Qin Yuanfeng with cannibalistic eyes, and his voice wanted to scream, but he couldn't shake it: "Li ...... Mr. Lee...... You...... You are crazy?! ”
"You, you, you...... To use the world's most expensive luxury car...... Bomb, bomb the Twin Towers of the World Trade Towers?! ”R1058
