Chapter 644: Successful Lobbying
In June, although "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" fell into weakness in the United States, not only had a poor reputation, but also showed a sharp decline after a short period of outbreak, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" has already achieved a very deep foundation with "The Mummy 1" and "The Mummy 2".
In just one month, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" achieved a good result of 370 million US dollars worldwide, and according to expert predictions, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" achieved a box office of 500 million US dollars, which is not a dream.
Why?
Because in distant China, the popularity of "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is beyond imagination, in just one month, "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" has achieved a box office of 270 million Chinese coins in China, and the stamina is strong, they believe that "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" will definitely achieve a very bright result in the Chinese market, because "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" was introduced to the Chinese market as a co-production, and it has a month to be released.
In addition, the negotiations between the Gold Group and General Motors gradually reached an impasse, and the negotiation team of General Motors found that the negotiation team of the Gold Medal Group did not really want to acquire General Motors at all, even if General Motors lowered the conditions again and again, the negotiation team of the Gold Medal Group also repeatedly made excuses.
At first, they thought that the gold medal group wanted to lower the price, so they endured it and started round after round of competition with the negotiation team of the gold medal group, but after waiting for a month, they and the negotiation team of the gold medal group did not make any substantial progress at all, so they were in a hurry.
"The negotiation team of the Gold Group is very insincere."
The head of GM's negotiating team told the media, "They always argue over small things." Wasting each other's time. â
"Actually, we at General Motors don't have to worry about selling at all. There are enough groups interested in us GM. â
Of course, GM has a lot of popular car brands. What Buick, what Chevrolet, are very popular car brands, and the sales are very good, especially Chevrolet, which is the best-selling car brand under General Motors.
If it weren't for the fact that GM itself has too many problems, coupled with the impact of the economic crisis, GM would not have fallen to this point.
So as soon as they fell to this point, quite a few auto companies were applying to General Motors to buy car brands, and the board of directors of General Motors also had this intention.
The reason is simple. Selling these car brands can get a lot of money in a short period of time to fill the company's capital black hole, although it can't be filled, but it can also be mitigated.
But when Li Lin submitted his application to General Motors, all negotiations were terminated, and instead of selling a few car brands, it was better to sell all of GM, at least to sell all of GM, and they would not have to worry about the future of GM - that is something that new buyers only need to consider.
Moreover, the reason why General Motors fell into this kind of field is entirely because of some loss-making industries, which are not easy to sell. At least those buyers are all eyeing the car brands that can make money, and they don't have the slightest interest in the companies that are losing money.
And if GM can be sold in a package, it is equivalent to selling the loss-making company as well. This makes a lot of money.
So they simply stopped negotiating with other auto companies and concentrated on negotiating with the negotiation team of the Gold Group, but the negotiation team of the Gold Group did not seem to have the idea of buying General Motors. This directly angered them, and it was only then that the head of the GM negotiating team said in the media.
Of course. This is also to put a little pressure on the negotiation team of the gold medal group and sue them. If you continue to be careless like this, please forgive us for not accompanying you.
However, they never expected that their approach really hit the key point of the negotiation team of the gold medal group, and the person in charge immediately called Li Lin.
"Mr. Li, General Motors seems to have discovered our intentions, what should we do?"
"Now that you've found out, withdraw it."
Li Lin said without hesitation.
"Yes."
When the phone hung up, Luo Feng's gaze like a curious baby poked over, "You don't need to use General Motors as a guise?" â
Li Lin used General Motors as a pretense, and she knew about the Ming Xiu Plank Road and the secret Chen Cang.
Now that Li Lin has asked the negotiation team to give up negotiations with General Motors, does this mean that Li Lin's matter has reached the final stage?
"Goldman Sachs Group has told me good news, they have successfully lobbied the top management to pay attention to the entertainment industry, of course, more attention is paid to our gold medal group, I believe that it will not be long before we will enter the vision of the high-level, then in the future, as long as we do not participate in politics, our gold medal group will not have to worry about liquidation."
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, don't look at those people who are very happy now, but Li Lin really knows that it won't be long before that person comes to power, and very few of these people can survive.
Any group, no matter how big and strong it is, once it is mixed into the political system, it will immediately die without a place to be buried, if Li Lin agrees to them, of course, he can get a temporary peace, but with the change of the political situation, sooner or later he will be planted in it again, and then it will not be a question of cutting the meat or not.
It's a question of whether the group can save zĂ i.
"Goldman Sachs is so powerful?" Luo Feng still couldn't believe it, "As far as I know, Goldman Sachs Group is an American group, how can they lobby our high-level to tempt us, if this is the case, Goldman Sachs Group will send someone over casually, won't our country surrender to the United States?" â
"Silly girl." Li Lin rubbed Luo Feng's head, "Who said that Goldman Sachs Group is an American group and can't have anything to do with Huaxia?" â
"A long time ago, Goldman Sachs Group participated in China's political games, but they are different from other political games, they participate as economic experts, you can understand them as strategists, think tanks."
"In the United States, the president of the United States has a personal adviser and a think tank, and similarly, in China, our senior management also has its own economic advisers, and the vast majority of these economic advisers are from Goldman Sachs."
Who else understands economics better than Goldman Sachs?
As a member of Wall Street, Goldman Sachs is like an eagle with a broad vision, and they can easily feel any economic bubble.
Compared with them, the so-called economic experts in China seem a little immature, but think about it, Goldman Sachs Group was founded in 1869, from 1869 to 2008, 139 years have passed, in these 139 years, Goldman Sachs Group has developed step by step to the current point, and its strength in the economic field is difficult for any economic expert to match.
In particular, the other party extends its tentacles to all over the world, the United States, Hanbok, Japan, Dubai and other places, all of which have a wide range of contacts, and they can easily know some numbers that other economic experts cannot know, and then analyze the future global economic trend through these numbers, and also analyze the impact of the global economic trend on a certain country.
This is the fundamental reason why Goldman Sachs is able to defy other economic experts.
And as a group that has not collapsed in the subprime mortgage crisis, but is getting bigger and bigger, Goldman Sachs Group's keen sense of the economic crisis is also worth thinking about by everyone, you know, Lehman Brothers, as a group that is stronger than Goldman Sachs Group and more favored by investors, has been ruthlessly planted in this subprime mortgage crisis, thus leading to its own bankruptcy, and the terrible strength of Goldman Sachs Group can be imagined.
There is enough reason for the top management of Huaxia to appoint the people of Goldman Sachs Group to serve themselves.
And Goldman Sachs Group is not ignorant of Huaxia, they have long been in contact with Peking University, one of the two major institutions of higher learning in China, to help Peking University cultivate a large number of talents, and after these talents come out of the university and enter the officialdom, they automatically begin to be friendly with Goldman Sachs Group.
This kind of behavior has made Goldman Sachs' connections in China more and more extensive, so that they can participate in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and become one of the directors of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
You must know that as one of the lifeblood of the country, the banking industry has always been one of the key enterprises controlled by Huaxia, don't look at Huaxia's open banks, but these banks are almost all local banks, and there are almost no private banks in the country.
The four major banks are one of the monopoly trusts controlled by the state, and I don't know how many red families want to take a stake in ICBC, but they can't do it, but Goldman Sachs Group, as a foreign capital, has done it, and the tricks shown in this are unimaginable to others.
Goldman Sachs Group's connections and Goldman Sachs Group's lobby group, Li Lin believes that Goldman Sachs Group will definitely be able to do it, even if it can't be done, Li Lin will not lose anything, this deal, but it will be completed after success.
If it is not successful, the tens of millions of commissions of Goldman Sachs Group will say goodbye to them.
And Goldman Sachs did not live up to his expectations, in the last week, they have already come to the good news, all that remains is the finishing work, and according to the calculation of time, Goldman Sachs should have successfully lobbied the top management to bet on it, which is one of the reasons why he dared to suspend negotiations with General Motors.
"I really want to see the expression on their faces when they learned that the Gold Medal Group failed to acquire the General Motors Group and wanted to cut the Gold Medal Group in half, only to find that the Gold Medal Group had attracted the attention of the top management, that expression must be very interesting."
