Chapter 616

After half a month of fun, they visited some of the world's most famous scenic spots, and then they returned to the villa in Los Angeles.

At this time, Hollywood's major companies have passed the most difficult stage, although the stock market is still falling again, but the decline is far less than before.

Hollywood's eight major film companies have suffered heavy losses. The stock market has fallen sharply, with the lowest drop of 40%. Among them, fox in the 21st century suffered the most, from 130 billion dollars to 53 billion.

Magic effects company is no better. In a short month, the stock market dropped more than 50%, from 45 dollars to 22 dollars.

Numerous small and medium-sized special effects companies and studios in Hollywood have all gone bankrupt and closed down. It's cheap for Xiao Yunhai.

From the outbreak of the economic crisis to now, magic special effects company has added more than 600 new employees. Most of them are the technical backbone of the bankrupt special effects company, and the signing is five years. This makes magic become the real number one in terms of technology and talent reserve.

Xiao Yunhai came over this time, in addition to dealing with some magic special effects companies, the more important thing is to buy the cinema shares of major companies.

Before leaving, he asked Daniel to pay close attention to the cinemas of major film companies and inform him as soon as the court adjudicated.

Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing came back to Los Angeles in a hurry because Daniel called Xiao Yunhai and told him that yesterday the court had ruled that eight major film companies had violated the anti-monopoly law of the United States. They were required to sell their cinema shares within three months, and they could only retain 30% of their shares at most.

Xiao Yunhai is salivating at the American cinema, so he will not miss this opportunity.

His biggest advantages are two.

One is that he has nearly 20 billion yuan in cash, which is enough for Xiao Yunhai to cover all of North America at the exchange rate of 1:1.3 between us dollar and Chinese currency.

Second, he is not interested in controlling shares, as long as we can ensure that his and Hanhai's films can be shown. This is the key to his confidence in winning the cinema.

Although the court ordered eight major film companies to sell cinemas, it did not say to whom. If Xiao Yunhai applies MGM's practice to other companies, he believes that there will be no problem in buying MGM, even without a premium.

However, what he is most worried about now is that after hearing this news, the outside world will surely swarm to him. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai needs to catch up with them and act immediately.

His 43 percent stake in the U.S. state of paramount, as well as its stake in the United States, has covered 5 percent.

After careful consideration, the two targeted Warner and Disney.

Because the two companies can let Xiao Yunhai cover the remaining states of the United States and most of the North American countries.

In this way, Xiao Yunhai's courtyard layout in North America can be completely completed.

In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing came to New York and met Michael Eisner, who owns 42% of Warner Brothers' cinema line shares.

Michael received them in his office and said, "Mr. Xiao and Ms. Zhao, do you know how many calls I have received to buy Warner cinema in just two days? Hehe, there are 18 companies, and nine of them have sent someone to come by themselves. The highest quotation is even twice the market price. Hehe, it seems that the cinema is really attractive. "

Under the influence of the financial crisis, Warner Brothers cinema line stock fell sharply from 52 billion yuan to 28 billion yuan. If Michael hadn't lied, it would mean someone had raised the offer to 56 billion, much higher than the previous 52 billion.

It can be seen from this that the other side is indeed under the blood.

Zhao Wanqing asked quietly, "why didn't you sell it at such a good price?"

Michael laughed and said, "it's for sale. I hope to wait for a better buyer. Seeing two, I think I'll wait. "

Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "you may be disappointed. We won't pay so much."

Michael said: "what I want is not money, but control of the cinema. There is no secret in Hollywood. I've heard about the agreement you signed with MGM. You want to be free to show your own films, and I need a controlling stake, so like MGM, we are the perfect collaborator. But you need to buy 24% of the shares in one go. "

Zhao Wanqing asked in a puzzled way: "I heard that you seem to have only 42% in your hand."

"After the financial crisis, I bought the shares of two other shareholders, and now I own 54 percent," Michael said

Zhao Wanqing said, "how much do you need to sell your shares?"

Michael said, "the premium is 50 percent."

Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "no way. Mr. Michael, you should know that although we have bought the shares, we can help you continue to control the whole Warner cinema line, so that you will not have any worries. This is a great bargain. It's unfair to us that you have a 50% premium. "Michael said, "Miss Zhao, don't forget that with Warner cinema, your films can be shown at will."

Zhao Wanqing said with a smile, "it's not easy for us to make a movie that suits America. It would be great to show ten movies a year. Mr. Michael, I hope you can show us sincerity. "

"Ms. Zhao, it's already the lowest price they've offered me," Michael said

"But these people will pose a very big threat to your holding, and we will not. That's the most important thing, isn't it? "

In this way, two people you come and go, after a lot of verbal war, finally reached an agreement.

Xiao Yunhai purchased 24% of the shares of Warner cinema with 9 billion US dollars. He can show up to 20 films a year. The schedule is optional, and the number of films arranged in the first three days is no less than 40%. At the same time, he unconditionally supported Michael to become the chairman of the board of directors, in charge of the entire Warner cinema.

According to the current exchange rate, 9 billion US dollars is 11.7 billion Chinese dollars. Only one warner has spent most of Xiao Yunhai's funds. Now he has only 6.2 billion yuan left, and there is a Disney theater line.

Disney cinema line ranks fifth among the eight major cinemas, mainly in other countries in North America, with a market value of US $18 billion.

The negotiations between the two sides were very smooth, and the terms were similar. Xiao Yunhai finally bought 16% of the shares with 5.3 billion Chinese dollars.

At this point, Xiao Yunhai's layout in North America has been completed, and he has only less than one billion yuan left.

However, the money still needs to be paid to at least 400 million yuan for "Legend of Shooting Heroes", and the remaining 500 million is just enough for him to shoot inception.

After all, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing are the main actors and actresses, and the magic special effects are also their own. They don't need to spend a cent on the two major items. In this way, 300 million yuan will be almost the same.

After finishing the business of the cinema, Xiao Yunhai received a call from his Uncle Chen Zhan before they returned to their home in Yanjing.

"Yunhai, I ask you, is" love apartment 2 "completed

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "yes. Half a month ago, the film had been approved by the film and Television Bureau. However, at that time, the financial crisis was so severe that I didn't give the film to you. "

Chen Zhan nodded and said, "it's ok now. A lot of advertisers are already active. I'll send someone to talk to you. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "uncle, tell me first, how much advertising share Anhui TV is going to give me? I saw this play. It's very funny. It's no worse than the first one. "

Chen Zhan said: "the issue of advertising sharing needs to be discussed with Lu Zejun, vice president of the Taiwan Strait. After all, we are relatives, and I need to avoid suspicion. By the way, you can plan a variety show for me that can make our Anhui TV station famous. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a bitter smile, "uncle, you think variety shows are so good to plan."

Chen Zhan joked: "I don't care. You can finish it for me within a week. Yunhai, when I beg you, the ratings of Anhui TV station are too low. In any case, you have to help uncle

Xiao Yunhai asked, "why don't you move" run, brother "and" voice of China "to Anhui TV station directly? You know, I still own their copyright. "

Chen Zhan said: "I'm sorry. After all, mango terrace is the place where I have worked for 20 years. I can't do it by digging its corner."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "what's this? The reason why I was willing to share 65% of the ads with mango TV station was because Ouyang promised to push you to the station. Now that things are yellow, our agreement is cancelled. If mango station does not give me more than 75% of the advertising share, I will definitely not sell it. "

Chen Zhandao: "75% of the advertising share, mango station is afraid it is difficult to agree."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can only be embarrassed."

Chen Zhan said: "anyway, you can make a program for me first."

Xiao Yunhai said, "OK, I'll write it now."
