took the car to the headquarters of the National Entertainment Company together, and after two months, Lei Shidong saw Xu Guanwu again, and a flower appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, congratulations, the drama "Full of Gold and Jade" is a big hit, congratulations." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "And the play "The Shining", my God, it's just amazing." Xu, you are really too discerning. ”

"Don't get too excited, there's "ET" coming out at Christmas." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Waiting for the Spring Festival after Christmas, there is still "Star Wars II: The Empire Strikes Back" waiting to be released." ”

"You're so right, I can't wait now." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "By the way, I'm busy greeting you, and I don't know ...... this beautiful lady is."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Oh, let me introduce you, my wife Teresa. Deng. ”

"Your wife?!" The corners of Lei Shidong's eyes twitched, and he muttered in disbelief, then shook hands with Deng Lijun warmly, and then turned his head to Xu Guanwu and said, "Xu, tell me honestly, how many wives do you have, how can you also be a Mormon?" ”

Deng Lijun could understand a little English, so when she heard Lei Shidong's question, she couldn't help but blush unnaturally.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Of course I'm not a Mormon anymore, but I do have a few wives." ”

Lei Shidong glanced at Xu Guanwu in surprise and whispered to him, "Although I think your statement is a bit shameless, I really envy you." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Then you have to be so lucky to me to find a woman like Teresa who is affectionate and righteous." ”

Xu Guanwu said. Gently shook Deng Lijun's hand. In front of outsiders, he is not timid to show his affection. This bold move made Lei Shidong look very hot.

"That's right. You know, somebody's secretly buying shares in Fox? Lei Shidong said with a wicked smile, pouring a basin of cold water on Xu Guanwu's head.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Of course I know, I'm here for this matter." ”

"Who are you going to spend so much money on the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, at least four or five billion dollars, right?" Lei Shidong asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, since the acquisition. Although he only bought 30% of the shares, he still spent nearly $200 million. By extension, it would cost about $500 million to take all of the 20th Century Fox.

"It's really a great move, I don't know who is so bold." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "Actually, if I can raise a sum of money, I also want to buy 20th Century Fox, so that I can build a smoother channel with my theater chain." ”

Since the cancellation of the Paramount Act, Lei Shidong has been on the move, but the acquisition of film companies has cost a lot of money. Those bankers on Wall Street don't support it either. And if Lei Shidong asked his own company to pay for it, he was reluctant to waste cash flow.

Truly. Although Hollywood movies have shown signs of recovery in recent years, such as "Jaws", "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and so on, they have set hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but these are just a few examples. Looking at the overall situation, the prospects of the film market are still uncertain.

In addition, high-tech is developing rapidly, with lower risks and greater returns. Many high-tech companies have just been established, with only three or two people, and venture capital funds have already come to the door before they have made any products.

This kind of high-tech hot scene is somewhat like the Internet bubble in the late 90s. Build a website here, come over there and buy it immediately, and then add a zero to the back, and you can resell it to the next family. Countless people are dreaming of getting something for nothing, and everyone is in a frenzy.

The fact that the high-tech industry is attracting so much attention today is actually inseparable from the rapid development of Apple Computer. From a small workshop in an obscure garage to a large company with annual profits of tens of millions of dollars, Apple has grown in just four years.

In the past four years, Apple's market value has increased by at least 10,000 times, with an average annual increase of 2,500 times. This speed is definitely against the sky, you must know that the bank's deposit rate is usually a few tenths of a zero. Apple's return on investment is hundreds of thousands of times higher than the bank's interest rate.

Imagine investing a dollar in it and turning it into hundreds of thousands of dollars a year later, which is simply insane, and much more profitable than robbery, smuggling, and poisoning. Therefore, since Apple Computer created the myth of wealth creation, it has also led to an investment boom in the high-tech industry.

A lot of hot money has poured into Silicon Valley, and many companies have begun to rise from the ground, including companies that make computers, companies that develop program software, and companies that develop hardware peripherals...... A thriving scene.

While bankers are busy chasing investment from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Hollywood studios want to borrow money to film, and naturally it is difficult to raise funds. After all, the total amount of money is still limited, and when a large amount of money is invested in high-tech industries, "sunset industries" such as movies are ignored.

It's no wonder that Wall Street doesn't look down on Hollywood movies these days, mainly because the returns are a little too low. Even if Xu Guanwu has the invincible golden finger of the memory of his previous life, the money he earns back from Hollywood movies every year is only hundreds of millions of dollars. Compared with tens of millions of investment costs, the average rate of return is only about five times......

And movies like Universal, Paramount, MGM, etc., have invested in movies over the years, and the average return is only one to two percent, and sometimes even lower. In particular, Xu Guanwu performed the "Star Absorbing Dafa" and turned all the movies that should have been invested and filmed in his previous life into his pocket, so these film companies have never found a chance to turn over. If you are still breathing and dying, it will naturally be difficult to turn over.

……

"Want to know a secret?" Xu Guanwu asked Lei Shidong with a smile.

"I've always wanted to." Lei Shidong nodded, putting on a posture of listening to his ears.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I bought the 20th Century Fox. ”

"Poof!" Lei Shidong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. "How could it be you. Haven't you always had a great time working with them? ”

Xu Guanwu waved his hand. Tell the story of Richard and David's embezzlement of funds for filming, as well as the difficulties of Yu Yunkang.

Lei Shidong couldn't help but be angry when he heard it, in fact, in the past few years, because of the continuous production of best-selling movies, Richard and David have gained fame and fortune, like a lost dog before, from the 20th century Fox was kicked out, defected to Warner and then was kicked out, and finally filmed "Jaws" under Universal. Halfway through the filming, Universal withdrew its investment, almost forcing the two of them to death.

If it weren't for Lei Shidong introducing Xu Guanwu to them, these two unlucky people wouldn't know where to go for a long time, how could they have such a scene now? Unexpectedly, after these two people developed, they would be ungrateful and start to take revenge, which really made Lei Shidong feel cold.

"Xu, what you did is very right, if it were me, I would teach them a lesson." Lei Shidong slapped the table and said, "But Darryl is a little innocent. It has nothing to do with him. ”

"You're right, this time he was cheated by his own son." Xu Guanwu nodded. "I didn't intend to be angry with him, but if I cleaned up Richard, do you think Darryl, as his father, would jump out to avenge his son? The three of us do business in the hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and if he does something out of it, our losses will be too great. ”

Lei Shidong couldn't help but nod after hearing this, it is true that if Richard is cleaned up, Darryl is likely to avenge him, and it will not be good if it affects the business at that time. Lei Shidong is very strong in business, and anyone who hinders his fortune will be kicked out by him. This old boy can even kick his own son out of the company, and Darryl is not related to him, so naturally he can't speak for him.

"But, Xu, your trick really scares me, what if you think I'm not bad one day and secretly buy my company?" Lei Shidong asked Xu Guan Wudao with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, "So you have to wake up your spirit, don't be seized by me, otherwise I may really swallow you in one bite." ”

Lei Shidong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Okay, if you want to buy my company, just come." I'm not going to give you a chance. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"By the way, when are you going to have a showdown with Darryl?" Lei Shidong smiled and asked, "Will you be able to join 20th Century Fox soon?" ”

"It's not decided yet, it's up to Richard when they bite the hook." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"Bite the hook?! You set a trap for them? Which trap is it?! Lei Shidong asked suspiciously, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it the "Lord of the Rings" that is being hyped up now?" ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "That's right, it's this project." ”

"What are you going to do, can you reveal a little bit and satisfy my curiosity?" Lei Shidong asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu smiled and roughly explained his plan.

Lei Shidong looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "You are planning to let them offend most of Hollywood." ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "If they can control their greed, my trick won't be useful at all." ”

"That's right." Lei Shidong nodded, "Everything depends on their fate, I hope they don't make mistakes again and again." ”

……

After coming out of Lei Shidong's office, Xu Guanwu took Deng Lijun to visit Mermaid Records and met his partner David. Geffen.

This is the first time Xu Guanwu has come to this company after the establishment of the record company. It was also he who invested in this record company this year, and after half a year, he once again talked to David. Geffen meets.

Let's be honest, David. Geffen's impression of Xu Guanwu's partner could not have been better. Since the investment, he has never intervened in the company's affairs. Geffen has the power to do so. It's a great feeling, and when you do business together, the most fearful thing is to run into a pig-like teammate and mumble in your ear, asking you to do this, and not letting you do that, like flies.

And a quiet partner like Xu Guanwu is too hard to find. Geffen's appetite, because he is also a very strong character, and like Lei Shidong, he likes to monopolize power.

"Xu, hello, hello, long time no see." David. As soon as Geffen saw Xu Guanwu, he hugged him warmly.

Xu Guanwu hugged him hard, but a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on his body. If he's not mistaken, it looks like David. Geffen is a.

"Wow, who is this pretty lady?" David. Geffen immediately saw Deng Lijun and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"She's my love, Teresa. Deng. Xu Guanwu introduced with a smile.

David. Geffen was stunned for a moment, then shook Deng Lijun's hand with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"By the way, let's take a look at our company first, come in our company and tap a lot of talented talents." David. Geffen smiled at Xu Guanwu, and then led him down a long corridor.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor hung photos of the company's singers, Xu Guanwu did not know many European and American singers in the 80s, so he didn't guess but let David. Geffen introduced him one by one. (To be continued......)
