Chapter 265: Acquisition of MGM, one of Hollywood's eight major film and television companies
Zhang Yang Li Zhenxin and a few people walked on the Avenue of Stars.
The Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Avenue from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue to the west, and then from north to south along Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Boulevard.
Except for occasional changes of location due to nearby construction or other reasons, the location of the star medallion on the Avenue is permanent.
The Walk of Fame is adorned with more than 2,000 stars to commemorate their contributions to the entertainment industry.
There are Dolby Theater, Chinese Theater, Sunset Boulevard, Universal Studios, and Wild Theater, so if you come here, you must go and see it.
This is Hollywood!
Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Culture.
That's right, it's a culture.
When you identify with Hollywood, you identify with the culture of the beautiful country.
What's the scariest thing?
Cultural invasion.
But it's a pity that the entertainment industry in China can't reach this level.
If he could, Zhang Yang really wanted to make a Hollywood in Huaxia.
Chinese Hollywood?
It takes a lot of money and foundation to maintain.
This Hollywood in a beautiful country has been established for more than 100 years, and there is naturally no shortage of heritage.
Let's see.
Now Zhang Yang lacks funds, and when he is not short of money, he can invest it, and really want to make a Chinese version of Hollywood, which is a cow.
Originally, Zhang Qian was very lively, but after Li Zhenxin appeared, she restrained her personality.
For Li Zhenxin, Zhang Qian is still very frightened in her heart.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Yang also saw it.
He's a little funny.
This girl is not like this to Tian Xue and Ye Xinyi, but she is like this to Li Zhenxin?
He also looked at Li Zhenxin with some curiosity.
I don't understand.
There are many people who come to Hollywood every day, and you can see people from all over the world.
There are also many yellow people, and I don't know if it's Huaxia or other countries.
Zhang Yang didn't have the heart to say hello.
As I walked, I met someone who surprised Zhang Yang.
Hollywood stars, to be exact.
Black Widow Scarlett.
That's a bit too lucky, isn't it?
At this time, Scarlett's fame was not as great as that of later generations, but she was very beautiful, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but look at it twice.
When Zhang Yang looked at Scarlett, Scarlett also looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang has been staring at Scarlett, how could she not feel it?
She was also a little surprised, what was this Asian staring at herself?
Is it because you can't recognize yourself?
There is only one explanation.
Otherwise, why pay attention to her?
Her fan?
Probably.
For fans, the stars are all kind, and so is Scarlett.
She smiled and nodded.
Zhang Yang didn't expect Scarlett to nod to her, and for Scarlett, who expressed kindness, Zhang Yang also returned the favor with kindness.
This scene was seen by Li Zhenxin.
She frowned optimistically.
For Scarlett, Li Zhenxin really doesn't know.
Although Scarlett is also nominated in Hollywood, she is really not very famous.
Li Zhenxin knows all those famous stars.
She is not very old, and sometimes she chases stars.
I don't know Scarlett, but this woman is so beautiful.
Is it a little star?
This is Li Zhenxin's idea.
If it's a star, it's not much of a threat to her.
At the level of Zhang Yang, it is impossible to marry a star as a wife.
Thinking of this, Li Zhenxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Scarlett was also curious that there were two Asian beauties next to this fan, and several bodyguards behind him.
That's right, it's the bodyguard.
Her eyes were very good, and she could tell at a glance that these people were bodyguards.
You can also see their momentum.
Could it be that the neon country and the h country are not the sons and brothers?
I guess so.
As for Huaxia, it was directly filtered out by her.
Scarlett doesn't know much about Huaxia, and in her impression, only Neon and H are rich.
How afraid of death must be when you go out with such a bodyguard?
It's no wonder that Scarlett thinks so.
A son-in-law, who will kill you?
Or are you afraid that you have been robbed?
You don't need five bodyguards, do you?
The two of them rubbed more than enough.
It can only be said that he is rich and capricious.
Both sides just nodded their heads, and then left by mistake.
Zhang Yang didn't have the idea of asking Scarlett to sign an autograph, if it was the previous life, I guess I wouldn't be able to hold it anymore.
After a long day of shopping in Hollywood, a few people went to the Beverhill Hotel.
The Beverly Hills Hotel, a 12-acre hotel, was built in 1912 at a cost of $500,000 and reopened in 1995 after two years and a cost of $140 million.
Even in Beverly Hills, it is an extremely expensive cosmetic procedure. Entering the hotel from the bustling street is like stepping into a temple of sanctuary, and the quiet and elegant taste of the past hundred years seems to have not changed.
Marilyn Monroe used to taste milkshakes here, and Marlena Dietrich was once barred from entering the luxury lounge because she wore pants.
Come here to eat, the price is not low, but when it comes to the value of Zhang Yang and Li Zhenxin, will you care?
The only thing that makes Zhang Yang feel sorry is that there is no Chinese food here!
Since coming to the beautiful country, he has not eaten Chinese food for a long time.
Silicon Valley doesn't, and Hollywood doesn't either.
Los Angeles does.
It seems that when the tour is over, it is time to go to Los Angeles' Chinatown for a good meal.
Since there is no Chinese food, I can only eat Western food!
What Zhang Yang didn't expect was that he ran into Scarlett again.
This is the second time I have encountered it.
Hollywood isn't too big, but it's too frequent, right?
Scarlett naturally saw the flamboyance as well.
He is so conspicuous that it is difficult to see it first.
She also didn't expect the two sides to meet again.
For this Asian, Scarlett still has a lot of impressions.
There are two beauties and five bodyguards beside him, so it's strange that he has no impression.
Few people come to Hollywood with bodyguards, and even if they do, they don't bring so many.
Now that she had met, Scarlett nodded towards Zhang Yang again.
It seems that this fan is not small.
The point is that Zhang Yang looks at her again.
She wasn't sure before, but now she can be sure that this must be her fan, no doubt about it.
Zhang Yang didn't expect to meet Scarlett again.
He's thinking about one thing, should he go to Hollywood?
If you want to enter Hollywood, it is not without opportunities.
In 2005, Sony spent $4.8 billion to buy MGM Pictures, and if he had cut off his beard in the middle, he would have succeeded.
This is his chance.
If you don't make a move this time, you will have no chance to buy MGM in the future.
Do you want to make a move?
In fact, he is still full of excitement, this is MGM.
Founded in 1924, MGM Pictures is one of the eight major Hollywood studios and a symbol of beautiful Chinese cinema and Hollywood, with MGM films winning a total of 170 Oscars and taking the lead among Hollywood's major studios. It has a star-studded collection of superstars and has created the myth of releasing a movie every week.
Not to mention anything else, copyright alone is worth $4.8 billion.
The copyright to the classic cat and mouse is also MGM's.
Tempting is tempting, but it takes 4.8 billion US dollars!
No money.
That's right, just no money.
Maybe by 2005, he can accumulate 4.8 billion, but these funds are of great use.
Buying a film company is not cost-effective.
Tangled, very tangled.
Still don't have the money to make trouble.
Damn, he's the saddest reborn.
Look at the other reborns, they can buy whatever they want, come to him, deflated calves, Zhennyima is a shame for his peers.
Forget it, don't think about it.
There's no way he's going to spend $4.8 billion to buy a film company because he's eyeing the semiconductor industry.
The semiconductor industry that wants to be acquired is not enough without tens of billions of dollars.
Tens of billions of dollars, RMB is almost 10 million!
Tens of millions, it hurts to think about it.
But there is no way, if the other party sells him, he will burn high incense.
I'm afraid that no matter how much money he spends, the other party won't dick him.
Zhang Yang remembers that in the last life, Toshiba sold the chip business in his hand for 18 billion US dollars.
Although it is 2005, the price will not be much lower than it was in 2018, or even higher.
Because Toshiba has not yet lost money.
The real losses began in 2008, when Toshiba made a strategic mistake and Toshiba lied about its financial statements in order to conceal it.
Now that Zhang Yang has been reborn, if he wants to buy Toshiba's semiconductors, he must expose their behavior, and only in this way will Toshiba undergo great changes, and even sell the chip industry at a low price.
Toshiba has a lot of industries, but in the end they sold chips to keep other industries.
It's not that the chip business is not important, it's that they think other industries are more important than chips, you know, when they sold the chip business, it was 2018, when smartphones were at their peak.
Choosing to sell the chip business to repay debts is also a major determination.
In this life, Zhang Yang planned to let Toshiba sell the chip business in advance, so he wanted to expose Toshiba's financial statements.
But this has to be planned carefully, and Toshiba can't be let know, otherwise they won't be sold to them in death.
08 years.
That's right, it's '08.
In the 08 financial crisis, once the scandal of Toshiba was exposed, they would not be able to stand it, the stock market was red all the way, and he could pick up a lot of bargains at that time.
Toshiba isn't just a chip business.
He was greedy for that technology.
It was also directly through the financial crisis of '08 that he had the opportunity to acquire these technologies.
Otherwise, they won't sell it to him.
Many companies in the beautiful country are also coveting Toshiba's technology, and once Toshiba announces the sale of the chip business, these guys will definitely take over.
Once the beautiful country intervenes, nothing will be publicized.
Even if his capital is higher than that of the beautiful country, the other party will not sell the chip business to him.
Technology monopoly.
That's right, it's a technology monopoly.
The West will not agree.
The West does not agree, will Toshiba dare to resist?
Can't.
But 08 was different.
Even if those companies in the West give Toshiba technology, they don't have the funds, or they don't dare to buy it.
Financial crisis, cash is king, who would be stupid enough to take out tens of billions of dollars to buy Toshiba's chip business?
No matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid it will take $15 billion, unless those companies are crazy enough to spend so much cash to buy a company during the financial crisis.
At that time, it is really possible to fulfill others and pit yourself.
They won't do such stupid things.
This is also why Zhang Yang had to make a move in 08, which was a good opportunity, an opportunity to break the monopoly of the West.
Once missed, there will be no second chance.
This is also why Zhang Yang knew that the acquisition of MGM would make a lot of money, but he suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
The funds can't be moved.
Because he also did not have the confidence to save 15 billion US dollars in 2008.
Besides, he is not only targeting the chip business, but also other businesses and industries, without 20 billion US dollars, I am afraid it is not enough......
