Entertainment Guru Rebirth
Chapter 971: 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 major Hollywood companies. In addition, Daniel and the others didn't tell themselves that they didn't even know that MGM has reached such a precarious point.
Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and said, "Stell Networks has such a big appetite. It just annexed Paramount, and now they are starting to deal with MGM. Do they want to be the king of Hollywood?"
Kerry said: "Xiao, you have been in China, and you don’t know the current situation. With its strong capital reserves, Stall Networks has controlled more than a dozen companies except Paramount, involving almost all entertainment. Industry, including television stations, newspapers, advertising companies, distribution companies, animation production companies, film special effects companies, etc. Today Paramount is a behemoth. If they are allowed to annex MGM, it will be completed as soon as the cinema line is completed. It will become a super-large film company that dominates Hollywood. Unfortunately, other film companies are short-sighted, and no one is willing to reach out to help us."
Xiao Yunhai said: "So that's it. Kerry, shouldn't you invite me over today for "Harry Potter"?"
Kerry nodded and solemnly said: "Originally, we wanted to sell the shares of China Film Corporation, but you also know the current situation. The cinema chain is no longer worth the money, and it is not enough for us to repay the loan. Besides, even if the loan is repaid It is of no use. Stahl Networks will not let us go. As long as my father is reorganized from the position of chairman of the board of directors, MGM will not escape the fate of being annexed by Stahl. Xiao, I know you are a man of loyalty. MGM is now in poverty, and only you can help us."
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback, and said, "Kerry, what are you kidding? The other party is Stir, a real giant in the business circle. Although I have some money, how can I win them?"
Kerry said: "Xiao, your positioning of yourself seems to be inaccurate. Do you know how the most famous Economic Times on Wall Street evaluates you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "You know that I am not too interested in business, and I will definitely not pay attention to any economic times."
Kerry smiled bitterly: "Xiao, you are really a miracle. You don't know how to operate, you are not good at negotiation, and you don't even understand some common business sense, but the achievements you have achieved are beyond the reach of most people. It's too legendary to think about it."
Xiao Yunhai said: "What's your name? I'm 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. What people need in the future. In addition, I know how to delegate power, know people and be responsible, and be generous to employees. As long as there are no major problems, the company will naturally develop well. The most important thing for a leader is not how much knowledge, but rather You must have a forward-looking vision, a broad mind and a firm conviction to be able to point everyone in the right direction. Everything else is nonsense. Does your kid understand?"
Kerry sighed: "Maybe you are right because you have succeeded. The Economic Times has opened a separate page for you, detailing the future potential of your industries."
"They said that Magic and Dream will become the world's strongest special effects company. New China Cinemas, major theaters in North America and Jiujiu Music Network can bring you a steady stream of funds. The four major departments of Marvel Comics only Revitalization will inevitably 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 China to have a super giant like Stall."
"We are worth more than US$300 billion, but I only owe US$30 billion to the bank. With such an economic model, I don’t know how many business tycoons call you a big fool. 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, Stahl will inevitably retreat."
Indeed, although Xiao Yunhai has always spent money lavishly. He dared to spend five or six billion dollars on projects without even thinking about it, but he couldn't help making money fast.
Zhao Wanqing once told him that his industries brought him 12 billion U.S. dollars in income last month. This is not even the magic special effects company and the North American cinema chain, it is faster than robbing the bank.
If he becomes a new shareholder of MGM, then MGM's problem will be solved.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "MGM Studios is very good. Would you like to sell me shares?"
Kerry shook his head and said, "Of course it's not selling shares, but I hope you can raise funds."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Financing? How much do you want me to raise? How many shares can you give me? You just told me that MGM's current market value is not very high? Plus I am your savior, yes Shouldn't it be cheaper?"
Kerry pursed his lips, rubbed his face vigorously, and said, "If I hear someone say that you can't negotiate again, I will slap him severely."
After thinking about it, Kerry said: "30 billion dollars, 20% of the shares."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "That won't work, I seem to be at a loss."
Kerry said helplessly: "Xiao, should you say that you have made a lot of money, okay? You really don't even have a bit of business common sense. If you don't believe it, you call Wanqing, I believe she will agree. However, I do. Two conditions, that is, you must support our father and son on the board of directors without harming your interests. The other is to lend us 50 billion US dollars to repay the loan. Within three years, even the principal and interest Give it back to you."
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly made a stop gesture and said, "Wait first. This matter involves 80 billion U.S. dollars. I need to go back and think about it."
Kerry nodded and said, "I hope you can make a decision sooner."
Xiao Yunha smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you the answer the day after tomorrow. By the way, it's not that I said, your father and son are a little too poor. After so many years in Hollywood, you can come up with more than 30 billion US dollars. "
Kerry was crying and said, "To use a word from China~lightnovelpub.net~ You are a full man but not a hungry man. You think we can be like you, making a movie can make billions. I’ll give you some calculations. Last year, among the eight major Hollywood studios, Disney had the highest movie profit, but its revenue was only 6.2 billion U.S. dollars, and more than 60% of the movies lost money. And our MGM even more Pitiful, only made a profit of 4.3 billion U.S. dollars, which would have to be shared by several shareholders. If there were no theater chains to support it, we would not even have money to make movies."
Xiao Yunhai did not think that Kerry was crying poor. He knew very well that the film company did not make much money. MGM's ability to earn 4.3 billion US dollars in revenue from movies alone is much better than China's film companies.
Take Zhao Mingsheng’s Hanhai Entertainment Company as an example. The results of the movies and TV series filmed last year are not bad. When calculated at the end of the year, they only earned 3.4 billion Chinese coins, which is less than a quarter of MGM’s. Revenue ranks third among the major film companies in China.
It can be seen that there is indeed a big gap between China Film and Hollywood.
