Chapter 125 It’s Just Money

128. Isn’t it just money?

Compared to Ivanka who was being questioned, and Elizabeth Hometown, their little lives were so comfortable. Occasionally find a supermodel to organize a party, or hold a private supermodel naked beach volleyball.

Tang Wen was bored at home that day, and Chang Kang called and said.

"Boss, the top management of Paramount would like to host a reception banquet for you tonight."

"Oh? What do you mean? Why did you suddenly think of holding a wedding banquet?" Tang Wen asked curiously. When they just bought Paramount's shares, the senior executives all wanted to look at Tang Wen with their nostrils.

Why are you suddenly transitioning now?

What Tang Wen didn't know was that before Zhou Xu found Chang Kang, when Tang Wen took 70% of Paramount's shares, he started to attack the senior management.

None of the senior officials who were disobedient and worked against Tang Wen were spared.

At first, the senior executives thought they could rely on their "previous relationships" to sit back and relax, but Zhou Xu's ruthlessness really surprised them.

Regardless of whether you are an old person or a newcomer, if you disobey management, you will be fired. WF Group lacks everything except money, and Zhou Xu, who is well-funded, is poaching people everywhere.

After poaching some companies, some will be kicked out. As a result, people at Paramount are now in panic, and everyone is afraid of being kicked out. You know, the current Paramount is not the same as before.

After Chang Kang took over, he maintained Zhou Xu's iron-blooded style. Anyone who eats and waits for death will be expelled, and anyone who disobeys will be expelled. Anyway, Paramount now has enough funds, and a lot of directors and technicians want to come over.

"Tell Eisen (the current president of Paramount) that WF Group will give them 2 billion for this year's movie shooting, and also find a way for me to get the shares of HB TV station." Tang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Boss, are you going to buy HB TV station?" Chang Kang asked. He didn't know what Tang Wen was doing buying a TV station.

The fact is that Tang Wen has already mined a batch of gold in Africa, and gold worth US$20 billion has been shipped to Switzerland. Of course, Tang Wen now has to find a way to cash out the gold as collateral.

Anyway, these giants who are long in gold will not let it fall, and the current gold price has reached the peak of 12 years at 1,800 US dollars an ounce. It is very good for Tang Wen to take the opportunity to cash out part of it.

"Okay boss, I'll contact you right away."

Today's HB TV station is worth about 12 billion. Due to the existence of anti-monopoly laws, Tang Wen cannot directly incorporate HB TV station into the WF Group.

However, it is possible to open an offshore company to hold shares. So Chang Kang helped Tang Wen register an offshore company of WF Media to acquire HB TV station.

The current HB TV station has not yet produced some "blockbusters" like Tang Wen's time and space. Today's HB TV station is more inclined to some low-cost dramas.

Although the market value is about 12 billion, Tang Wen estimates that he can win it all with about 8 billion.

Chang Kang's acquisition style is very popular with Tang Wen. He first inspects, then inquires, and then makes a quotation. disagree? Then I'll poach all your employees and set up a new one, and that'll be it.

Many companies can't stand this almost "gangster" style of play. Just kidding, if you give someone $2,000 a month and they offer you $3,000 or even $4,000, who do you think they will choose?

As for the company’s market value? Are you kidding me? You've already run away to talk to me about the market value of Hammer. Whether you like to sell or not, if you don’t sell, you will go bankrupt.

Although this behavior of WF Group is shameless, people should pay a lot of taxes. There are even more teachers than the previous company, employees’ salaries are higher, actors have jobs, there are more jobs, and financial revenue has increased. Do you think the people in the council will target WF Group in a stupid way?

People wish that WF Group would be involved in more industries.

In the conference room of HB TV station, the largest shareholder and chairman Steve Ron looked angrily at Chang Kang with a "smile" on his face and said angrily: "This is impossible."

"I'm sorry Mr. Steve Rowan, but it's not a question of whether you want to or not, but how much can you lose? If you need to use Warner's money to resist the acquisition, then we will be very "happy to see"." Chang Kang said contemptuously.

Steve Ron gritted his molars but did not dare to say a word, because he had seen the "violent" methods of the WF Group, and in terms of strength, Warner was not even as good as the Jared family.

The Jared family, which owns the oil industry, has been shorted by these lunatics from the WF Group. Warner? Just kidding, as long as WF Group lets out the news, alligators waiting to short him will fill the entire Wall Street.

After all, he is facing a madman who now has more than 30 billion in liquidity. No one knows what crazy things WF Group will do.

"Mr. Steve Ron, it's time to tell you your quotation." Chang Kang gently tapped the table and said with a smile.

"8 billion, HB is yours." Steve Ron closed his eyes and sighed.

"7 billion, cash, of course, HB will still be Warner's best "friend" in the future." Chang Kang said in a hurry as he pushed over a document.

"...Sure, deal." Steve Ron hesitated for a moment before signing his name on the document.

"It's a pleasure to work with you Mr. Steve Rowan, the money has arrived."

When he received the news that 7 billion had arrived, Steve Ron suddenly woke up.

"FK, I can definitely use this 7 billion to get involved in other industries. Now is a financial crisis." Steve Ron, who had 7 billion in cash, suddenly realized that it was a time of financial crisis. 7 billion in cash was enough for Warner to do many big things. Thinking of this, Steve Ron smiled and stretched out his hand to answer.

"I am very happy to cooperate with WF Group."

With the completion of the handover procedures, the news that WF Media acquired HB under Warner with 7 billion US dollars in cash spread immediately.

The first thing everyone paid attention to was not WF Media, which had just acquired HB TV station, but Steve Ron, who had 7 billion in cash.

You know, now is a time of economic depression. What can 7 billion in cash do? Take the most secure fund now, with an 8% return, which is 560 million US dollars in income a year.

Many funds that are short of money even offer high profits of 10% and 13% to attract customers.

Steve Rowe finally realized that being rich is also a kind of pain. After the news came out, all kinds of fund promoters, bank depositors, loan agents, company turnover, and many old friends came to him.

It was a bit annoying, but after enjoying the right to dominate the topic, Steve Rowe began to float, and even secretly said in his heart: "I am really a genius. I should have gotten rid of this burden (HB TV) a long time ago."

You know, due to the impact of the financial crisis recently, HB's subscription has been very poor. It was not until a few years later that HB TV started the production of restricted and blockbuster movies that the income gradually improved.

Now HB TV is actually a money-loser. No one has money. Who has the heart to watch TV? People who have the heart to watch TV are now "wandering" on the street.

Warner is still in the limelight, and Paramount Eisen is not idle either, and directly held a press conference.

"3 billion, the boss gave us 3 billion US dollars as the production cost of Paramount's movies. We at Paramount will successively invest in 3 super blockbusters with an investment of 300 million, 11 productions with 100 million US dollars, and 20 movies with an investment of 50 million US dollars."

"300 million investment blockbusters!"

"Crazy Paramount!"

"The mountain is back!"

With the news announced by Eisen, the whole Hollywood was boiling. What does 34 movies mean? That means more opportunities to become famous.

Not to mention that there are 3 big productions with an investment of 300 million US dollars, and 11 big productions with an investment of over 100 million US dollars. As for the 20 blockbusters with an investment of 50 million US dollars, they are opportunities for small actors and actors who aspire to become famous.

Eisen announced that the first movie with an investment of 300 million US dollars is The Amazing Spider-Man, the first movie with an investment of over 100 million US dollars is Cabin in the Woods, and the first movie with an investment of 50 million US dollars is The Mechanic.

And tonight Paramount will hold a luxurious party in Beverly Hills, during which Paramount's new owner will also attend.

Hollywood actors who got wind of the news tried their best to attend, and even more so to get invitations. Not only actors were attracted to the banquet, but directors were also eager to attend.

Even the truck driver who was shooting the big ship accepted the invitation with great interest, as did Stephen and Spier.

They all came for an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and it would be best if they could get in touch with the WF Group. Then they would still worry about not having funds for filming in the future? Just kidding, everyone in America knows that the boss of the WF Group is a "rich and inhumane" guy.

So everyone began to prepare carefully. The actresses who were invited had already started to choose evening gowns, and those who were not invited began to ask for connections everywhere, or began to secretly prepare clothes for waiters.

After all, it's better to get in first. If the boss of the WF Group takes a fancy to them, then they will be the next Ivanka or Elizabeth Holm.

There are still quite a few young stars who believe what the paparazzi say. After all, it is indeed strange that these two people became the president and vice president of WF Real Estate Company for no reason.

As for the big stars, although some of them believe it, they are smart and will not show it.

The entertainment circle is a circle that is constantly shrinking inward. Which part of it you can enter depends on your own strength and interpersonal relationships.

Of course, relationships are the first priority. You must know that you are not the only one who can act, and you are not the only one who looks beautiful. There are too many people in the whole United States who want to become rich overnight and become stars.

In addition, under the influence of the financial crisis, it is such an opportunity to meet a rich man. So that day, the dress and jewelry rental companies in Hollywood and the whole United States were full of customers.

Everyone wants to dress up and be noticed by directors or rich people and become famous in one fell swoop.

Whether it is success or failure depends on the performance tonight.

Tang Wen followed Eisen's proposal. Originally, Eisen wanted to hold a banquet at Tang Wen's manor, but Tang Wen didn't like to be disturbed, so he changed it to Beverly Hills.

Tang Wen treats disposable items and collectibles differently. He can't bring anyone into his home, right? He's not a junk collector.

As night falls, the most lively party in history is held in Beverly Hills, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
