Nine Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Kerry's Request (2)
Xiao Yunhai has been taking care of his wife and children at home recently. He doesn't know anything about the situation of major Hollywood companies, and Daniel and the others didn't tell themselves, so they didn't even know that MGM had reached such a precarious state.
Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and said, "Stel Networks has such a big appetite. They just annexed Paramount, and now they're starting to deal with MGM. Are they trying to be the king of Hollywood?"
Kerry said: "Xiao, you have been in China, and you don't know the current situation. With strong capital reserves, Stell Networks has controlled more than a dozen companies except Paramount, involving almost all entertainment. Industry, including TV stations, newspapers, advertising agencies, distribution companies, animation production companies, special effects companies, etc. Paramount today is a behemoth, and if they are allowed to annex MGM, once the cinema line is completed, it will It will become a mega studio that dominates Hollywood. It’s a pity that other studios are short-sighted, and no one is willing to lend a hand to us.”
Xiao Yunhai said: "So that's the case. Kerry, you invited me over today, shouldn't it be for "Harry Potter"?"
Kerry nodded and said solemnly: "Originally we wanted to sell the shares of Huaxia Film Company, but you also know the current situation, the theater chain is no longer valuable, and it is not enough for us to repay the loan. Besides, even if the loan is repaid It's of no use. Stell Networks will not let us go. As long as my father is removed from the chairmanship of the board of directors, MGM will not escape the fate of being annexed by Stell. Xiao, I know you are a man of loyalty. MGM is now exhausted, and only you can help us."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Kerry, what are you kidding? The other party is Steer, the real giant in the business circle. Although I have some money, how could I possibly win them?"
Kerry said: "Xiao, you seem to be inaccurate in your positioning. Do you know what Wall Street's most famous Economic Times said about you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "You know that I'm not too interested in business, and I definitely won't pay attention to the Economic Times."
Kerry smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao, you are really a miracle. You don't know how to manage, you are not good at negotiating, you don't even understand some business common sense, but the achievements you have achieved are beyond the reach of most people. It's just too legendary to think about."
Xiao Yunhai said: "What are you talking about? I sound like a fool.
Yes, I don't know much about business, let alone a qualified businessman, but I am very familiar with the entertainment industry. I know what makes money and what people in the future will need. In addition, I know how to delegate power, know people well, and be generous to employees. As long as there are no major problems, the company will naturally develop well. The most important thing for leaders is not how much knowledge they have, but having a forward-looking vision, a broad mind and firm belief, who can point out a correct direction for everyone, and everything else is nonsense. Do you guys understand? "
Kerry sighed: "Maybe you're right because you've made it. The Economic Times has a separate page for you detailing the future potential of your industries."
"They said that Magic and Fantasy will become the strongest special effects company in the world. New Huaxia Cinemas, major North American cinemas and Jiujiu Music Network can bring you a steady stream of funds. The four major departments of Marvel Comics only need to The revitalization will definitely shock the United States. The most powerful one is the Yunyi shopping network. As long as there is no problem with the operation, it will not take long for a super giant like Stell to appear in China."
"You are worth more than $300 billion, but you only owe the bank $30 billion. With such an economic model, I don't know how many business tycoons will call you a big idiot. However, because of this, the whole world knows that you have enough money. Liquidity, so as long as you become a shareholder of our MGM, Stell is bound to retreat."
Indeed, although Xiao Yunhai has always spent money lavishly, spending five or six billion dollars on projects he dares to spend without even thinking about it, he can't help but make money quickly.
Zhao Wanqing once told him that his industries brought him $12 billion in revenue last month. This is not counting the magic special effects company and the North American theater chain. It is faster than robbing the bank for money.
If he becomes MGM's new shareholder, then MGM's problems will be solved.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "MGM is very good, are you willing to sell me shares?"
Kerry shook his head and said, "Of course I'm not selling shares, but I hope you can raise money."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Financing? How much are you willing to let me raise? How many shares can you give me? You just told me that MGM's current market value is not very high? Besides, I am your savior, yes Shouldn't it be cheaper?"
Kerry pursed his lips, rubbed his face hard, and said, "If I hear someone say you can't negotiate again, I will definitely slap him hard."
After thinking about it for a while, Kerry said: "30 billion US dollars, 20% of the shares."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "That won't work, I seem to have lost a lot."
Kerry said helplessly: "Xiao, it should be said that you have made a lot of money, okay? You really don't even have a little business knowledge. If you don't believe it, call Wanqing, I believe she will agree. However, I have Two conditions, that is, on the premise of not harming your interests, you must support our father and son on the board of directors. The other is to lend us US$50 billion to repay the loan. Within three years, the principal and interest will be paid give it back to you."
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly made a stop gesture and said, "Wait first. This matter involves 80 billion US dollars, I need to go back and think about it."
Kerry nodded and said, "I hope you can make a decision sooner."
Xiao Yun laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'll give you the answer at the latest the day after tomorrow. By the way, it's not me who said that your father and son are too poor. After working in Hollywood for so many years, you can actually spend more than 30 billion US dollars. "
Kerry grimaced and said, "In a Chinese saying, you are a man who is full but not a man who is hungry. You think we can make a lot of billions by making movies like you. I'll give you the math. Account, among the eight major Hollywood studios last year, Disney had the highest movie profit, but its revenue was only $6.2 billion, and more than 60% of its movies lost money. And we, MGM, were even more pitiful, earning only four The profit of 1.3 billion US dollars will have to be shared by several shareholders. Without the support of the theater chain, we would not even have the money to make a movie.”
Xiao Yunhai did not think that Kerry was poor, he knew very well that the film company did not make much money. MGM's revenue of US$4.3 billion simply depends on movies, which is already much stronger than Huaxia's film companies.
Taking Zhao Mingsheng's Hanhai Entertainment Company as an example, the films and TV series filmed last year were all quite good. At the end of the year, they only earned 3.4 billion Chinese dollars, which is less than a quarter of MGM's. The revenue is already ranked third among the major film companies in China.
It can be seen that there is indeed a big gap between Chinese films and Hollywood.
