Chapter 562: The Real Cow Breaks

Buying a company, or a multibillion-dollar company that ranks among Hollywood's top seven companies, is definitely not something that can be reached in a moment.

After Qiao Feng issued a purchase of Columbia and soon began negotiations with Coca-Cola, and the progress seemed to be very fast, Sony's negotiations with Corklian came to a standstill.

According to media reports, it seems that Sony seems to have lost his enthusiasm for MGM for some reason, and even Mike Ovitz, who is an intermediary and can receive a huge commission once the acquisition is completed, seems to have lost his enthusiasm and the number of visits to MGM has suddenly decreased.

At this time, Qiao Feng's negotiations with MGM about his new father-in-law came to fruition.MGM was short of funds, and Corkerian was ready to sell MGM, so Corkerian was not prepared to invest even a penny in MGM.

Based on this situation, Qiao Feng's side will contribute 5 million US dollars for publicity, and MGM does not need to pay any of the publicity expenses, and MGM needs to pay half of the publicity costs, that is, 2.5 million US dollars, which will be converted into film investment.

It can be seen that MGM has been scared of losses in recent years, even if it is a movie that has a script and accounts for the majority of investment, MGM's confidence in it is not as full as they imagined. Otherwise, they will definitely not sell the investment share of 2.5 million.

You must know that once the film is successful, and the box office is similar to Qiao Feng's other Hollywood films, the North American box office can be more than 100 million US dollars, and the global box office can be more than 200 million US dollars.

Then the investment share of 2.5 million US dollars will be several times the return on investment, and this is only the return of the movie box office, if you count the videotapes, TV broadcast licenses and so on, the return can rise several times.

If that's the case, MGM will definitely lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.

However, MGM has little confidence in Qiao Feng, in their opinion, Qiao Feng invested five million US dollars and only got half of the investment share is an obvious fool's behavior, maybe they think that what they have picked up will be watermelon.

After the matter on the American side, Qiao Feng and Wang Xuxian flew back to Hong Kong, leaving Shi Nansheng and Colombia to continue to negotiate the acquisition.

Just when Qiao Feng and Wang Xuxian stepped on the plane back to Hong Kong, Akio Morita in the president's office of the Sony headquarters stood by the window with a serious face and looked at the sky thinking about things.

Behind him stood several Sony executives, all of whom did not speak.

"How's it going on on the Colombian side?" Akio Morita asked without looking back.

"Coca-Cola's asking price is very high, Qiao Feng's concession, 3.5 billion US dollars obviously can't satisfy Coca-Cola's appetite. A man in his forties replied softly.

"Colombian ......" Akio Morita repeated, as if weighing something, and after a while, he said: " In East Asia and Southeast Asia, Hong Kong films have dominated for many years, and Qiao Feng is the real ruler of Hong Kong films.

"We also have MGM, as long as we buy MGM and add our best Sony hardware, we can compete with Qiao Feng at a higher Hollywood level. Another, slightly younger man said confidently.

"No, no, no, if we only buy MGM, then Qiao Feng may not be able to compete with us in Hollywood.But Qiao Feng is also looking to buy Columbia, and Columbia is a company with better performance than MGM, both management and production talents are far better than MGM. The person who answered Akio Morita before said disapprovingly.

"Keep the negotiators dragging their feet, no matter what Corkrian's side says, just say that because his price is too high we need to consider." Akio Morita obviously agreed with the words of the person behind him, and he nodded: " We are indeed the strongest in making electronics, but making movies, that is Qiao Feng's strength. Since Qiao Feng turned to buy Columbia without hesitation after we got into MGM, it is obvious that Qiao Feng thinks that Columbia is far better than MGM, and is even willing to buy it at twice or even twice the price. We have the best hardware, and the content that matches it must also be the best. Now it seems that Columbia may be more suitable for us Sony. Let people stare at them, saying that we have to snatch love again."

.................

"Joe's gang is pointing at Hollywood."

"From Oriental Hollywood to Hollywood--- The Development of Hong Kong Films."

"How rich is Qiao Feng in the billion-dollar acquisition---- ?

..............

Qiao Feng's acquisition of MGM and Columbia in Hollywood has long been known in Hong Kong.

For many days in a row, the headlines of Hong Kong entertainment, especially movie-oriented newspapers and magazines, were full of Qiao Feng's news in the United States.

Everyone thinks that Qiao Feng is too powerful, you must know that when Jiahe had Li Xiaolong in hand, it was just to bring Chinese kung fu into Hollywood.

After that, Golden Harvest wanted to push Cheng Long, but the investment amount was very large, but it was repeatedly miserable, and the failure to pay was contrary to Golden Harvest's original intention, because they wanted to push Cheng Long, but all the films that made money were all Hollywood models and Hollywood movie stars starring, and Cheng Long could only play a supporting role.

A few years ago, because of movies such as Die Hard, Cheng Long opened the North American market, but this is Qiao Feng's credit.

Golden Harvest is so bullish, it is so difficult to push Cheng Long, but what about Qiao Feng, now people are not pushing newcomers to Hollywood, they are directly about to acquire one of the seven largest and most powerful film companies in Hollywood.

Moreover, what I wanted to acquire before was the worst of the seven, but now, people suddenly changed their targets, and the acquisition was Columbia, whose performance has been okay in recent years, at least profitable.

This goal is higher and higher, and the key is that Qiao Feng can really come up with so much money.

Qiao Feng, really bullish.
