MGM Chairman Cork Kercorion is a legend and controversial figure in the United States. This old man relied on a four-star hotel bequeathed to him by his parents, and became a veritable gambling king in Las Vegas, where the competition can be called miserable, with at least tens of billions of assets, but the methods he used made many people despise.

This is because Cork Kercorion not only preemptively registered the MGM trademark in the hotel industry, but also used the MGM logo of the Lion Rio Dang Hotel on the MGM logo. In the 50s and 60s, when information was not developed, people who went to Las Vegas to play suddenly had a good impression when they saw the familiar lion logo, and he quickly rose in Las Vegas with a good first impression and perfect service. This is only on the surface, what means and tricks have been used in secret, and those have become legends.

Today, Cork Kercorion came to visit Sun Ziming, firstly, to cooperate with the light and shadow company, so that MGM Pictures can quickly get out of the predicament; The second is to cooperate with him and let his casinos and hotels enter another world-class gambling city - Macau.

However, it seems that this Chinese boy does not want to cooperate with him, and has made excuses to refuse to meet him several times. This time his cash cow was exposed by the media, so he took the initiative to call himself.

Cork Kercorion also knows that with Sun Ziming's connections in Asia, he may not need an ally in Macau, but not necessarily in Hollywood. That's right, this kid has enough allies in Hollywood, but what about leaving Hollywood? The California consortium can only help him on the ground in California, and if he leaves California, he will be blind, and it would be good not to be rejected by other consortiums.

"Ming, if I'm not mistaken, Hanks and Nicole's affair is fake, and someone is behind the scenes, with the aim of saving Cruise's image."

Sun Ziming is undeniable, in fact, there are only two beneficiaries: Cruise and Light and Shadow Company, if it weren't for slandering others, it would be too risky for the Light and Shadow Group, which is based on a good reputation and has a shallow foundation, and Scientology has become a theoretical substitute, and the media has long regarded Light and Shadow as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Raising the teacup and signaling, Sun Ziming joked: "Mr. Kercorion, if the light and shadow are Warner or Paramount, maybe they will be the mastermind behind your mouth, but unfortunately we can't afford to take such a big risk." I'll admit that Cruise's market value is high, but not so high that we would risk the reputation of the entire group, and in fact we're preparing to take out his role in King of Killers 2. ”

This is expected, "King of Hitmen 1" has set a box office record for R-rated films, established the status of that Chinese martial artist super action star, why do you want another super idol star? If you change it to yourself, as long as Jie is popular, you will definitely take down Cruise immediately! You have to be tough if you can't get it, and Cork Kercorion gestured with his coffee cup raised.

"What about Mission Impossible?"

Being a man can't be rude again and again, Sun Ziming's face was obviously unhappy, and he threw the exquisite teacup into the tea tray. 'Bang', startled Kayo Sato, who was sitting at the coffee table to refill the tea, and hurriedly packed up the pieces, and handed his boss a small white porcelain teacup.

Sun Ziming took the hot small teacup and said with a dark face: "Cork, you have to understand one thing, this is in my house, not your MGM casino!" ”

Kirk Kercorion was stunned, since he became a super-rich man, he had become accustomed to negotiations with people hiding needles, and it was rare to meet such a guy who would turn his face at any time. Fortunately, he is also a tycoon in a shopping mall for a long time, and he doesn't care about Sun Ziming's rudeness at all.

"Ok, let's get down to business. I want to work with you, you help me get MGM out of trouble, I help you become the king of Macau. ”

This is what talking looks like, Sun Ziming took a sip of yellow-green tea soup and teased: "Mr. Kercorion, you may not know that my brother is engaged to the daughter of the king of Macau. The last time I went back to Hong Kong, I was going to discuss marriage with you. ”

Waving his hand again, Sun Ziming blocked back what Cork just wanted to say, and said quietly: "We Easterners are different from you Westerners, we attach great importance to family affection and are willing to sacrifice our own interests for our relatives. I have already given my brother's entertainment city and resort as their wedding gift, and Macau will have nothing to do with me in the future. ”

Coke's face became very ugly, this bastard didn't want to be the king of Macau, and the possibility of equal cooperation between the two sides was gone. If MGM wants to replicate Universal's success, it will have to come up with the same conditions, if not more so, than Universal!

If Light and Shadow didn't have a global collaboration, MGM's film library would have been extremely attractive to them. Now that Universal's library is open to ESPN, it's nice to have thousands of more titles, but it doesn't matter if they're gone. The two film companies produce and release more than 20 films a year, and all of them are good films, new and old films are enough for ESPN.

For a while, Cork Kercorion was a little helpless, the other party did not ask for himself, and his own demands were to the detriment of the other party's interests. Of course, since Cork Kercorion dared to come, he still had hole cards in his hand, but the stakes were too great for him to weigh the pros and cons.

Just when Cork was hesitating, Douglas came in with a solemn expression, and when he saw that the chairman of MGM was actually here, he hurriedly took the initiative to shake hands and say hello. Cork bowed slightly to shake his hand, glanced at the Wen Jiàn clip in his hand, and said with a smile: "The box office is not ideal? ”

Douglas looked at Sun Ziming and saw that he didn't mind, so he smiled bitterly: "Boss, we may be losing money this time, only 11.08 million in the first week." If it weren't for the theater chain cutting theaters and screens, the attendance rate might not have been 30% there. ”

This is expected, and Sun Ziming is not much disappointed, compared with long-term interests, this small loss is nothing. It's only Cruise's bastard who can't control the three taels of meat under his crotch! , I don't know what's so good about that Carl Canoch, if you want to steal it, you can't be careful, and you even have people take pictures of the bed. , he's not out of money, what hotel do he go to, he won't buy a house in Jinwu? Thrift, unnecessary frugality kills people!

However, the box office failure of "Apollo XIII" made Cork Kercorion mistaken.

Everywhere, casinos have two ways to make money other than the gambler, and in most cases the main way of making money - money laundering and exchange of benefits. Sun Ziming's field in Macau, Hong Kong is so big, Taiwan is not close, and there are so many casinos in Macau, how much money can you make just by playing with people? What really makes money is that after Guang Zai hit the head, the major associations laundered money in Duna.

Cork Kercorion's MGM Plaza is a place that makes money from gamblers while also secretly providing money laundering and backroom transactions. Don't talk about others, Jiang Peng and Benjamin often go to play, and it is common to lose hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars overnight.

Running such a place, while making a lot of money, you will also make friends with all kinds of gods and accumulate a lot of contacts. Now Douglas hit the spot, making Cork Kercorion think that this was a hint to him, he had no idea that his grandson Ming's family didn't have so many rules at all. Guys like Douglas and Li Rui are often seen coming over to eat when they have nothing to do, let alone coming to report when they have something to do.

When Sun Ziming finished watching the box office of each movie this week, he couldn't help but sigh at the good luck of others and his own back. Last time, "Future Water World" was Paramount who took face, and this time "Apollo 13" was taken advantage by Universal, "Fat Guy Professor" actually had 52.18 million in the first week, and it seems that it is going to run for more than 150 million.

Closing the jiàn clip above, Sun Ziming thought about it again. Douglas had come at the right time to ask for his own hands, the damned Jew, to let him share his connections.

"Doug, after the theater is divided, first make up for the cash investment of the actors, first make up for Bill and Garry, and then make up for the less money and then the more money, and then settle the accounts if there is more."

“Boss?”

Douglas is in a hurry, how can there be such a business? In case the media coaxes together, they may splash some dirty water on the company.

Sun Ziming bent down, picked up a cup of tea from the tea tray and handed it over, and smiled, "I know what you're worried about, it's okay." This movie allowed Hanks and them to invest so much money because the box office of "Forrest Gump" exceeded my imagination, and I wanted to compensate them extra. You can't make up for it, and you can make everyone lose money, right? Doug, it doesn't matter if our studio loses a little, Bill and Garry will lose their lives. ”

Douglas is still hesitant, although the studio boss has the final say, but will Hanks have an opinion?

"Well, this time he lost enough. Well, you tell him that I'm the producer of Spielberg's next film, and he's welcome to star and invest. If he has a hard time cash, I can lend it to him. ”

"Ok", Douglas finished a small cup of tea, said hello to Cork, and walked straight away with Wen Jiàn in his pocket.

Sun Ziming's style made Cork Kercorion, who was accustomed to fighting in the mall, very unaccustomed to it, and after watching the whole process, he was stunned and said: "Ming, this is not the rule of doing business. ”

"Yes, not commercially, but very fair. Forrest Gump helped me make a lot of money, but they didn't get what they deserved, so I compensated them. Who knows that everyone is unlucky this time, so the only way to do this is to ensure that they don't lose money first. ”

Cork laughed strangely, and Sun Ziming also smiled, flaunting himself: "Mr. Kercorion, you think I'm putting on a show for you?"

Equalization of interests and striving for fairness is my principle of life! I'm a pretty good director, but I've become super-rich, based on this principle. It is precisely because I adhere to this principle that I have more and more friends, and everyone does not forget to pull me when it is good. ”

This made Cork even more laughing, "Ming, you are buying people's hearts, and I will do these little tricks." ”

"Yes, I admit that I am buying people's hearts, but I can buy them for a lifetime!"
