PS: There was a problem with the starting point, and it is only dealt with now, sorry...

AMC Cinemas currently has more than 200 theaters and 1,200 digital screens. However, only 65 of them have self-built theaters, and the rest are franchised theaters. Due to the downturn in the market, the market value of AMC Cinemas is less than US$800 million!

Just when the cinema market was in a downturn, AMC Cinemas suddenly received an acquisition request from the IMDB website, which immediately surprised AMC Cinemas!

After the company's board of directors discussed it, it decided to contact the IMDB website first.

As soon as the news was announced, the IMDB website was immediately strongly questioned by many investors. Why should a company that specializes in a website set foot in a physical cinema company? It would be okay if the theater companies make money, but most theater companies are losing money. In recent years, from the frequent occurrence of theater mergers, it can be seen that the current situation of the industry is not very good!

"This is a wrong decision!!!"

(no-

"The head of the IMDB website's decision-making layer was caught!!!"

"..."

Countless investors and senior Wall Street analysts have made bad comments on the IMDB website!

On the day of website B's share price fell 10%.

Suddenly, a small newspaper published a piece of news: The reason why the IMDB website wanted to buy the cinema company was because someone acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily based on their preferences... Then, the newspaper confessed Henry!

“A few days ago, Henry Williams’ husband attended the IMDB website’s board meeting as chairman of the Nicholas Group. According to the information provided by the participants, it was learned that IMDB acquired the cinema company. It was Williams’ husband’s decision. At that time, many people expressed opposition to this matter. However, Williams' husband insisted on going his own way. He even made a decision on the spot and said to those who opposed him,'If anyone is not satisfied with his decision, he can withdraw on the spot'!!!"

boom!

As soon as the news spread, it was shocking! ! !

Henry Williams is actually the chairman of the Nicholas Group, so he must hold a large number of shares, and his worth must rise by tens of billions of dollars! ! ! The next day, the entire U.S. and even the global media were shocked and crazy, citing news from that tabloid one after another. Forward it to your own newspaper!

For a time, the whole America was in an uproar! ! !

However, the unexpected B website's stock price rebounded in an instant, and the stock price that day was even 5% higher than before it fell! ! !

"IMDB website invests in cinema company, the layout is far-reaching!!!"

"The marriage between IMDB website and cinema company can definitely reverse the downturn in the cinema market in one fell swoop!!!"

"..."

Subsequently, countless investors and senior Wall Street analysts changed their minds.

Marcy Filimon said excitedly: "Chairman, since your identity was exposed. There is good news in the newspapers, and the stock price of our IMDB website has risen continuously!!!"

Henry touched his nose, "Uh, isn't it?! Haha. Just as the stock price rises, just as it rises..."

Henry did not expect that after his identity in the Nicholas Group of Companies was exposed. It will have such a big response! Before, the IMDB website wanted to acquire theater companies. He was also scolded by investors, but in a blink of an eye. The direction of the wind changed immediately, and all of them were praising IMDB for its smart investment. When did brother have this influence...

"Marcy Filimont, you go to investigate, who on earth revealed my identity to that tabloid newspaper!!!"

"Oh, good!"

Obviously, someone was uneasy and kindly leaked Henry's identity to the newspaper, taking the opportunity to retaliate against Henry for destroying IMDB's acquisition of the IMDB website. It's just that he didn't expect that after Henry's identity was exposed, the influence he would have caused was beyond his imagination. Henry Williams has been slightly deified, like Warren Buffett in the stock market, he is optimistic about which stock, there must be a group of people crazy chasing this stock. Although Henry is not a stock god, the company he invested in is even more shocking...

Since it was the world's super-rich Williams who asked IMDB to acquire the cinema company, it must be right!

If you don't understand, it can only be that you are not good at it!

Otherwise, how can others become a billionaire super rich! ! ! ! !

After AMC Cinemas learned that Henry Williams was behind the IMDB website, the lion opened his mouth during the negotiation, asking for 1 billion U.S. dollars! The IMDB website certainly does not agree.

Henry said to Marcy Filimont: "AMC likes the lion to speak loudly, then hang him up first, talk slowly, don’t worry. We can first buy some independent theaters with better locations, such as the Chinese Theater! The Chinese Theater belongs to Hollywood’s landmark buildings have hosted several Oscar awards, and more than one or two hundred famous film actors of different periods and styles, from Marilyn Monroe to Stallone, have left their handprints and footprints here. These superstar imprints have now been It has become a characteristic attraction of the Chinese Theater!!!"

"The acquisition of Chinese Theater can not only greatly enhance the reputation and influence of our website, but also give us more bargaining chips! When AMC sees our acquisition of Chinese Theater, I must think that IMDB may abandon the acquisition of AMC The plan is to switch to acquiring other theater companies, and thus have to cut prices!"

Marcy Filimont nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right!"

Henry smiled, picked up a glass of red wine and shook it, jokingly said: "Of course, our methods are more than these. AMC cinema chain has many franchise theaters, hehe, how to pry the corner, don't need me to say. , Although I am very good at this..."

"Haha, Chairman, I know how to do it!!!" Marcy Filimont suddenly laughed.

The reason why other theaters rely on large theater companies is actually very simple. With the help of theater companies' strong influence and voice, they can get more box office share when negotiating with film distribution companies!

If all the franchised theaters of the AMC cinemas are reversing, the AMC cinemas will not have much influence. With the 65 theaters built by AMC alone, it is far from the right to speak before, and the box office share will inevitably be reduced! The market value of AMC will also shrink significantly! ! !

This trick to draw money from the bottom ~lightnovelpub.net~ will definitely hurt your nerves and bones, forcing it to submit! ! !

At present, the theaters are in a recession, and the AMC mix is ​​really not very good. Some franchised theaters have very low attendance and have been losing money. Therefore, it is relatively easy to pry the corner! However, when Henry was collecting information, he found that the bankruptcy rate of theaters in the United States is high, and the market is obviously not good, but there are still people willing to take over these bankrupt theaters! Henry thought for a while, there must be a Hollywood studio intervening behind it!

The US monopoly law does not allow movie companies to hold theater circuits, but movie companies have used various methods to turn a few turns and indirectly control theater circuits in order to achieve the purpose of controlling theater circuits! ! ! Therefore, the film company is actually acquiring theaters, but the methods are so cryptic that people can't see it. And even if these theaters are losing money, it doesn't matter. The film company uses the theater to show the movie to gain the popularity of the movie. Even if the box office loses money, but the popularity of the movie rises, it can make money on peripheral products! ! !

And peripheral products are the real benefit of a movie!
