Finkelstein came and went, and he didn't even mention the cooperation project, but Li Lin knew that as long as the cross-shareholding was completed, the cooperation between Universal and Gold would be a matter of course.

"Three years, three years at most, this group will change hands again, and then it will be my chance." Li Lin calculated in his heart.

Universal, once the overlord of Hollywood, is now also a big Hollywood company, has created a series of classic films, and more importantly, next year, Universal will annex DreamWorks, and DreamWorks, a film company that continues to create miracles, will fall into the hands of Universal.

And in 2010, Universal will become the new hegemon of Hollywood.

Yes, not Sony, not Warner, but Universal, and after Coca-Cola sells Universal to General Electric, Universal will beat his rivals and become Hollywood's biggest studio.

What Li Lin wants is that when Coca-Cola sells Universal, it will take Universal, and among them, 10% of Universal's shares will play a crucial role.

As for Universal to annex him in turn, he is not worried, first, although Universal is the overlord of Hollywood, its cash flow is really not much, and it is impossible for them to buy it, and as for Coca-Cola, he is even less worried.

The Chinese government would not let Coca-Cola buy him.

In the previous life, Coca-Cola wanted to acquire Huiyuan, giving a sky-high price of 2.4 billion US dollars, but in the case of mutual affection, the Chinese government vetoed the acquisition of Coca-Cola in the name of 'endangering the national economic security', and slapped the mandarin ducks with a stick, splitting up the Coca-Cola Company and the Huiyuan Group.

Don't think that only the United States can use the big stick of 'endangering national security' to block Huaxia's acquisition of American companies. The Chinese government can do the same.

As for whether his acquisition of Universal will cause the US government to stop it, he is not worried.

Throughout Hollywood's history, the U.S. government has not prevented companies from other countries from buying Hollywood. Whether it's Japan's Sony or France's Vivendi, the U.S. government has never had one.

Even Wanda's acquisition of AMC, the second-largest cinema chain in the United States, did not attract sanctions from the U.S. government.

As for whether Coca-Cola will agree, he is not worried.

Universal Pictures' $3.6 billion is calculated as market capitalization, while his is valuation, and as we all know, valuation is not the same as market capitalization, especially when it comes to the Internet. Valuations are never accurate.

The gold medal group with annual sales of 300 million US dollars and revenue of 200 million US dollars is only worth 1 billion US dollars? It's a joke, he believes. Once he goes public, once the financial statements are made public, once he advocates the name of monopoly, his market value will be high. Maybe even go straight to Universal Pictures.

In the United States. Movies are a sunset industry, but the Internet is a sunrise industry, and any company that involves the beautiful term 'monopoly' will be favored by American stockholders.

Technology plus 'monopoly', it is impossible not to rise explosively.

It's a pity that he doesn't meet the criteria for listing on the NASDAQ in the United States now, and as for the backdoor listing, he never thought that the backdoor listing could easily be regarded as inferior during the roadshow.

Less than ten minutes after Finkelstein left, Fan Weiping barged in with a group of men.

"Li Lin. I hope you don't mislead the country. ”

"Li Lin, you are a sinner in the Chinese film industry if you lure the wolf into the house."

"You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the future."

Li Lin looked at the group of officials in front of him who suddenly appeared in front of him in amazement. The only one he knew was Fan Weiping.

"Li Lin." Fan Weiping said with a stern face: "What did Finkelstein talk to you about just now?" Did you work with Universal Pictures? Did you sell the company to Universal? Say it all. ”

Li Lin looked at these people in front of him in embarrassment.

It stands to reason that these are all his business secrets, and they are only cooperation in the film industry, and they do not involve state secrets, military cooperation, and the film and television department is not qualified to manage it, and no one knows that he just said it, and let these people say it, and then he will be in big trouble.

Don't look at the current Huayi and Orange Sky Entertainment's fight, once the news of his cross-shareholding with Universal Pictures spreads, Huayi and Orange Sky Entertainment immediately turned their guns to deal with him.

When Universal Films entered China, the first thing to be impacted was Huayi, the largest private film company, and secondly, Orange Sky Entertainment, which dreamed of an entertainment empire.

Needless to say, although Feng Xiaogang is powerful, he is still difficult to support in the face of Hollywood directors, while the latter seems to be financially powerful, but in the face of Universal Movies, the so-called wealth is scum.

Than rich, can he compare to the Coke Coke Company? Even the Ibex Group, which financed him, could not compare to Coca-Cola, and as for the bank, it was not opened by his family, so he could use it if he wanted.

In order to save their lives, they are afraid that they will strike first and kill Li Lin, the 'vanguard'.

"Please don't hide it." Fan Weiping's face became stricter, "This is related to the future of the Chinese film and television industry." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Li Lin squeezed out a smile, and then disarmed and surrendered under Fan Weiping's gaze, "Okay, they did offer to buy shares." ”

"What."

"How much?"

"You can't do that."

Several men opened their mouths in unison, glaring at Li Lin angrily, as if Li Lin was a traitor, if his eyes could kill people, Li Lin would have died hundreds of times at this time.

"You promised?"

"I didn't say yes."

Call......

Suddenly there was a sound of relief.

"But I came up with cross-holding."

"What."

The sound of relief just now turned into an inhalation in the blink of an eye, "How can you do this." ”

Fan Weiping was furious, "Do you know that you betrayed Huaxia by doing this!" ”

"Do you know that once Universal Films fully enters China, Huaxia's film and television companies will definitely not be able to withstand such an impact, and maybe the entire Huaxia Film Market will become a universal amusement park."

Fan Weiping blamed Li Lin, "I used to think that you were good, and I thought you could help Huaxia spread influence, but I didn't expect you to lure a wolf into the room." ”

Set the fox to keep the geese?

Does he know that Wanda has been in contact with Time Warner, as early as this year, and at the latest next year, Time Warner will reach a cooperation agreement with Wanda, and then Time Warner will enter the Chinese market in a big way through Wanda.

And of course, they have had an impact on the existing pattern, but a large number of Hollywood blockbusters have also brought prosperity to the Chinese film market, and many Chinese people who do not watch movies are attracted to Hollywood blockbusters to the theater to become fans.

It's just that the lion's share of the profits has been taken away by Hollywood.

And he is different from Wanda, he is thinking about annexing Universal Films.

As for prevention, prevention cannot be prevented, and when the Chinese film market gradually matures, Hollywood film companies will try their best to circumvent the introduction system.

In 2014, Li Lin's previous life, although the introduction system was still in place, co-productions could still bypass this restriction, the difference was that Hollywood studios felt that co-productions were worth it.

Cameron once lamented the prosperity of the Chinese film market after the box office of "Avatar" came out, and once told reporters that he wanted to co-produce with Huaxia so that he could enter the Chinese market.

It can be seen that in the future, Hollywood film companies will enter the Chinese film market in a big way as co-productions, and at that time, Hollywood will still invade even if it is not familiar with Guò or Wanda.

And as far as he knows, the Ministry of Film and Television once said that in 2018, the Ministry of Film and Television may give up the introduction system, why give up? It's not because of the rampant appearance of Sino-US co-productions, and the introduction system of directors almost exists in name only.

When China becomes one of the most important components of the global film market, when the Chinese film market catches up with the American film market, Hollywood giants will fight in China like fighting in the United States, not now, only using their own films to enter China, at most in the film to please the Chinese.

"Give up, you have to give up cross-holding." A man beside Fan Weiping ordered: "If you don't want to become a sinner in the Chinese film industry, then you must give up cross-holding." ”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Lin's eyes, and the cross-control with Universal would be of great benefit to his future acquisition of Universal, and the acquisition of Universal is related to his future strategy, and it is also related to his dream of entering Hollywood and becoming a superstar.

This man vetoed his idea at the first word, why should he?

"Li Lin, you better give up cross-shareholding!" Fan Weiping also persuaded, "I'll tell you the truth, it's impossible for you to cross-share. ”

"Our film and television department will never agree."

"Could it be that the film and television department can even manage this?" Li Lin felt uncomfortable, what happened to him and the global cross-shareholding hindering the film and television department? Isn't the introduction system still there? Sino-US co-production, which is also dominated by gold medals, and he still wants to eat Universal movies in the future.

If the film and television department doesn't help, it doesn't matter, and they still come here to make trouble.

He wanted to tell Fan Weiping about his thoughts, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't sell him in a blink of an eye, and Coca-Cola might have to guard against himself at that time.

Although it is said that in the future, Coca-Cola will give up on the world, but it does not mean that they have this idea now, the company that has just arrived, Coca-Cola is still holding it, and they will definitely not let people beat the idea of their company.

"Li Lin." Fan Weiping said: "The film and television department is not something you can fight against. ”

"You forget, if you want to form a theater, you still need us to give you an admission ticket!"

"You threaten me?" Li Lin's face changed, "If you don't form a theater, you won't set up a theater, anyway, I don't want to follow in Wanda's footsteps, but when the time comes, I will promote a lot of Hollywood movies, so don't blame me." (To be continued......)
