Chapter 816 - No Inner Ghost, Please Keep Trading

As the company's chief executive producer, decide what films the company makes.

It seems to be in power.

But Ms. Parent's life is not easy, MGM can't get half a billion dollars a year, and many times she can only co-make movies with other families.

When you're reduced to a co-producer, what power do you, the chief executive producer, have?

She felt that she was still young and should have a good future.

It's a pity that Hollywood is a very seniority place.

If MGM is a good place to go, how can it be her turn to be the chief executive producer.

Now, her chance is just around the corner.

Two million dollars, and a new contract, made Mary Parente give up resistance.

Her role is to report the information from Paramount's side to the board.

It's just that I didn't expect that even Gary Barber was bought.

Gary Barber has a very high reputation for the company, having been at the helm of the company for seven years since 2010.

It's just that in the past seven years, not much has changed.

Long gone are the days when studios controlled Hollywood.

The eight major film companies of that year are now basically vassals of multinational business groups: Colombia belongs to Sony; Warner became Time Warner; Murdoch owns Fox; Paramount was acquired by Viacom; GE controls the world's ......

MGM was just the unluckiest of the eight studios that didn't make the switch at the right time.

With the strength of the film company alone, it is no longer possible to bear the risks brought by this blockbuster or blockbuster era or seize the opportunity.

Now, MGM needs a dad.

Once you can find your father, one of the former eight will definitely be able to regain your glory.

MGM now wants to sell the company, it can be divided into two factions, one is the capital faction, they are eager to sell the company to cash out, and then get out of this quagmire.

There is also a group of business factions, who want the company to be reborn and develop rapidly.

So as to get their own opportunities in the process of this development.

The capitalists hope that MGM will sell as expensive as possible.

The career school is not so hopeful, because the more expensive it is, it means that the less the financial father's follow-up investment.

Suppose the father of the gold owner intends to spend 10 billion on this project.

If the purchase price is $9 billion, then the follow-up investment of the owner father in the company may only be only $1 billion.

A billion dollars is not enough to make MGM soar.

Gary Barber has completely surrendered after talking to Concubine Han.

Huaxia Capital completed the acquisition, and it also relied on his influence in Hollywood, so he was not worried about being unloaded.

There was no way back for him now.

The people in the parlor had been arguing all night, and finally came to a very superficial conclusion that MGM had to be sold at a discount, and that there would be no more shops in the village.

Carl Icahn was lying in the hospital, and the entire ward was filled with capitalists.

They hadn't slept all night yesterday, but one by one they weren't sleepy, and they needed to convince the stubborn Carl Icahn.

When MGM went bankrupt, it was Carl Icahn who persuaded them to accept a debt-for-equity swap.

"Mr. Icahn, you have a lot of assets, and you don't care if MGM sells them or not, but we people, look at me, I've moved three times, you're looking at Frans, he doesn't even dare call an ambulance." Morton, the bankrupt banker, has a loud voice that looks like a horn is embedded in it.

The other capitalists nodded their heads.

"Guys, be patient, I think when I was hunting in the South, do you know what was the hardest thing to hunt there?" Mr. Carl Icahn needs a little response.

However, one of his legs was hung high by a brace with his daughter's signature that read, "This is a humiliating leg, and it was a twelve-year-old boy who broke it".

If you're really that dick, how the hell did you get hit by a bicycle and break your leg?

So, no one responded to him.

The room was eerily quiet, which made Carl Icahn feel very sad.

These stupid people.

Do you know how ridiculous the price you're discussing?

Six and a half billion dollars?

Legendary Pictures has sold 3.5 billion, and you dare to say 6.5 billion, and you are clamoring to take the initiative to make it up.

With your way of operation, it is likely that you will not even be able to sell 6 billion.

I've been waiting for seven years, is that what I'm waiting for?

Carl Icahn is not short of money, and MGM is just one of his many properties.

Carl Selian Icahn, an 81-year-old man, was ranked 50th on the 2012 Forbes list of the world's richest people.

It is common for his name to be previously branded with such horrific titles as "speculator", "activist investor" or even "corporate predator".

Icahn is known on Wall Street for his ferocious takeover style and tough personality that does not give up until he achieves his goals, and is nicknamed the "Wolf of Wall Street".

But he himself prefers to be called an "activist investor."

According to Forbes statistics, Icahn, the "old driver" of Wall Street, is currently worth as much as $17 billion.

He has about 13% of the debt share at MGM, and he is the No. 1 boss in the capital faction.

If he didn't have a broken leg.

If it weren't for the fact that these little brothers were too uncompetitive.

If it weren't for MGM, it wouldn't be good right now.

If it weren't for the fact that capital from all over the world would have lost interest in MGM, it would have long since lost interest......

There didn't seem to be so many ifs, and Mr. Icahn looked gloomily at his legs hanging high, and had to recognize the fact that he was 81 years old.

"I will send my principal, and in any case, my interests must be safeguarded." Carl Icahn closed his eyes and motioned for his assistant to kick the group out.

However, the most urgent thing now is to interrupt the negotiations between Huaxia Capital and Paramount.

MGM's representatives re-approached representatives of Huaxia Capital in the hope of resuming negotiations, but were flatly refused.

Concubine Han said with a stern face, I'm sorry, we and Paramount have reached a consensus in many parties, and it is impossible to interrupt the negotiations.

And Paramount's side also changed its previous attitude.

I was more or less ignorant before, I didn't want to sell it so much, but I couldn't stand the amount of money people gave.

They want more.

The $12 billion is the result of their internal discussions.

The reason why the valuation has become so high is because the representatives of Huaxia are too easy to speak.

Three meetings a day, each of which can raise the valuation of $500 million, as long as you can justify it.

Paramount's desire for profit is stinging here, so what's polite.

However, MGM, which was abandoned by Huaxia Capital before, has suddenly come up again.

This made them disdainful and a little anxious at the same time.

Enough, we decided to sell.
