Jeffrey Epstein, this guy's reputation is actually quite big. Although it hasn't caused as much explosion as he did later, in the rich circle, this guy is indeed a pimp.

A billionaire, of course, famous, Jeffrey Epstein has been charged many times, and he's actually still serving a 13-month sentence.

However, he is serving his sentence in a private prison in Palm Beach and has 12 hours a day to apply to go out to deal with personal matters.

Simon just looked at the guy and certainly didn't care about him, even if he had no future breaking news, Simon had no interest in Jeffrey Epstein.

Just as Simon was slowly tasting the wine in his hand, the phone in his pocket rang.

"What? Robert Iger set off for Shanghai, China. Is it the final negotiation on the construction of Shanghai Disneyland?" Simon was not happy after answering the phone. The negotiation and construction of Shanghai and Disneyland have started since 1999. If It's not that Disney's food is too ugly and too strong. Shanghai Disneyland has already started construction.

Now that Robert Iger is at the helm of the Disney Group, if he concedes a little, the Shanghai Disneyland project can start.

In my impression, the project under Shanghai Disneyland was successfully negotiated at the end of this year.

"Isn't Disney negotiating to take over the film distribution of DreamWorks? Robert Iger actually went to China? He tried to acquire Marvel but failed, and now the focus is on Shanghai Disneyland?" Simon said as he walked out of the venue to go home .

"Tomorrow I'll go back to Los Angeles and inform Sonia Roman to come back for a meeting too!"

Afterwards, Simon didn't care about the Florida Governor's banquet, and let the bodyguard drive directly back to the Palm Beach Manor.

The next morning, Simon flew back to Los Angeles on his business jet, and in the afternoon held a meeting with several executives of the company.

"After DreamWorks was redeemed with financial support from Wall Street and India, the establishment of the new DreamWorks Entertainment was very smooth. However, due to the impact of the financial tsunami, the investors reduced the capital support. Steve Spielber from DreamWorks Greg leans toward Universal distribution, but David Griffin, another partner, leans toward Disney," Nina Jacobson said again,

"As for Jeffrey Katzenberg, he's been in charge of DreamWorks Animation!"

"Universal Pictures and Spielberg have cooperated for many years. This time it is not an acquisition. Why didn't Universal Pictures agree?" Sonia Roman asked.

Nina Jacobson said with a smile: "Because the premise of DreamWorks' cooperation is to get at least $100 million in funding to maintain the company's operations! Universal feels that it has been deceived by DreamWorks."

"And Disney promised to help DreamWorks prepare about $150 million in working capital in advance!"

While Simon listened, he tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. Disney's capital flow is indeed very rich. Looking at Sonia Roman and asking, "Is "Modern Family" on ABC?"

Sonia Roman nodded and said: "The second season will be broadcast on ABC in the fall. It is very popular to watch the first season!"

The Disney Group's ABC television online entertainment unit has been the largest in terms of revenue for the Disney Group, and a show or two doesn't make a difference at all.

Simon looked at the people around him and said, "For the future development of Xinghai Entertainment, theme parks and resorts are a must, and the place I like is the rapidly developing mainland China. Shanghai is the most developed city in China. , the future is immeasurable;"

"In the future, it has always been my idea to build a large-scale movie theme park resort in Shanghai, China. In comparison, Disney has always been a leader in the industry. At present, they seem to be making progress in negotiations with the SH municipal government, if an agreement is reached. , it will greatly hinder my future plans!"

Everyone around is stunned. The main movie parks and resorts need huge funds and influence to play?

Not to mention comparing with Disney, even if Xinghai Entertainment is a child compared to other large studios.

"Simon, what do you mean..." Nina Jacobson was a little stunned. This idea is very good, but it is really impossible to realize it at present.

"I know what you mean," Simon interrupted Nina Jacobson's words, and then smiled: "Contact the General Electric Group and say that we are interested in the possibility of cooperating with them to build a new Universal Studios in Shanghai, and even Get Jeffrey Katzenberg from DreamWorks Animation, I know they all have an idea for that!"

"Well, NBC Universal is not having a good time right now, and the stock price of DreamWorks Animation seems to be..." Nina Jacobson explained,

"We are currently making every effort to set up an overseas distribution system, and the production and distribution of film and television are progressing steadily!"

"I know, I want you to talk to them first, and make it public in the media, and at the same time send someone to Shanghai to get in touch, the greater the exposure, the better," Simon laughed.

"With my current strength, it is enough to attract the attention of SH city government, and with the authorization of NBC Universal, it will appear more sincere!"

Nina Jacobson seemed to understand, nodded and said, "Are you trying to sway Disney? Negotiations for such a large-scale theme park take a long time, and we do have enough time to prepare."

"GE has always had the idea of ​​selling NBC Universal, and we can take a look at it now," Simon said, standing up and laughing.

"Next year, I may make Xinghai Entertainment listed. You are all functional people and will not treat you badly!"

"Ha ha!"

When they heard that they were going to go public, of course, everyone was happy. With the current film and television production capabilities of Xinghai Entertainment and the projects in hand, the IPO must be incredible.

After the meeting ended, Simon left Sonia Roman alone.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Sonia Roman asked.

"I want you to go to China as well. Adam Root, the head of Jiutouniao's Asian department, will assist you. Jiutouniao has invested in a lot of technology companies such as interactive media in China. I need you to build momentum and unite Xinghai Entertainment. The big project of Universal Entertainment can take advantage of Xinghai Entertainment's current strengths in film and television as a breakthrough, and join the high-profile film and television theme parks and resort projects in mainland China to let them know that apart from the domineering Disney, we are very good. Sincerely!" Simon warned Sonia Roman with some seriousness. With the endorsement of the Nine-headed Bird Fund, the authenticity has been greatly increased.

"Is that so, I understand, we have a co-production of "Tai Chi", I think it should be able to intervene very well," Sonia Roman certainly understood what Simon meant, that is to **** the first store in mainland China with Disney at any cost Large international theme park.

Stumbling block for Disney!
