Chapter 613 The Legendary Goldman Sachs

In all fairness, Yin Jun felt that his best chance to enter Hollywood was not United Artists, but Disney in 1982 or 1983.

Yin Jun has seen the career experience of the legendary Disney CEO Michael Eisner, and knows that this business genius who is now at Paramount will go to Disney as CEO in 1984. The theme park company has brought it to the prominent position of Hollywood's new seven big.

Even after Michael Eisner left office, Disney continued to grow and become the number one in Hollywood, all because of the foundation laid by Michael Eisner.

From this, Yin Jun also knew that before Michael Eisner, Disney had reached a very difficult and dangerous situation.

They wouldn't have hired Michael Eisner to save the company if they hadn't had to.

So the one or two years before Eisner came to Disney was the most difficult time for Disney.

It should not be very difficult to take advantage of this time to acquire Disney.

Because apart from Yin Jun, no one would know that such a company on the verge of bankruptcy will develop into the most powerful company in Hollywood in the future.

And in 1982 and 1983, Yin Jun must have accumulated enough, enough for him to develop a world in Hollywood.

Originally, it was Yin Jun's goal, which would be realized step by step, but now a United Artists company suddenly appeared, which made Yin Jun a little confused.

The boy is a very cautious person.

Prudence means unwillingness to take risks.

For Yin Jun, an opportunity that was not planned at first may not be a good thing.

Therefore, he needs to think carefully to see whether it is really meaningful to add United Artists to his film empire.

Although I must have the money to acquire United Arts, and although United Arts has so many precious assets, not all good ones are suitable for me.

Isn't this the future of MGM?

After buying United Artists, owning 007, plus his own strength, he was able to go bankrupt a few times.

There is also Spielberg's DreamWorks, which is obviously a gathering of top talents in the industry and has produced so many excellent movies, but it still cannot escape the fate of being annexed.

The water in Hollywood is definitely much deeper than Yin Jun imagined.

Specifically how to step in, timing and ability are equally important.

If the acquisition is done in a hurry, United Artists will not be Yin Jun's soaring wings, but may become a black hole that keeps swallowing money.

...

Feeling a little headache thinking about it, Yin Jun simply made a phone call, went to write the script instead, and then took a bath early in the evening to rest.

Early the next morning, after running and exercising with Zhou Haimei, Yin Jun changed into a suit and arrived at the Goldman Sachs branch office in Central.

Goldman Sachs' Asia-Pacific headquarters will be established in Central in 1984, but in fact, Goldman Sachs has already started its own Xiangjiang business since the 1970s.

Although the business is not too much, the office of Goldman Sachs has been upgraded to a Greater China branch, and it has actively started to contact the mainland, even though the mainland is now poor and white.

Yin Jun has long known the existence of Goldman Sachs in Xiangjiang.

When the boy was in college, it happened to be the time when Professor Lang was popular all over the country. Yin Jun went to the school gate and bought his pirated CD, just like Professor Lang laughed at himself, and showed Professor Lang's speeches one by one. .

What Professor Lang is most wary of, admires and fears the most is Goldman Sachs, the number one investment bank in the world.

So Yin Jun knows how powerful Goldman Sachs is.

Although it is possible that Professor Lang has an exaggerated speech effect, none of the things Goldman Sachs did was a small matter, and all of them were major events that affected the financial industry around the world.

This alone is enough to prove how terrifying Goldman Sachs has.

If possible, Yin Jun certainly hopes that he will never deal with Goldman Sachs for the rest of his life, but from another perspective, if you are an entrusted client of Goldman Sachs, then Goldman Sachs can definitely meet any of your requirements.

In the previous life, if there was no Goldman Sachs behind the tray, how could Facebook break the market value of 100 billion US dollars when it went public?

Without the efforts of Goldman Sachs, how could Italy, a poor and slacker country, pass the strict scrutiny of the EU?

Professor Lang said that a Goldman Sachs is equivalent to a country, which is a bit of an exaggeration, but a Goldman Sachs is equivalent to all other investment banks, and there is basically nothing wrong with this statement.

During the super financial turmoil in 2008, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, one of the five largest investment banks in the United States, went bankrupt, Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America, leaving only Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs is still here Earn a lot of money every year, and the year-end bonus is so generous that people are jealous, which makes people sigh, the scourge always has to live for a thousand years!

Today, Goldman Sachs is responsible for Greater China, generally speaking, Xiangjiang and Baodao.

These two regions have shown signs of economic take-off since the late 1970s, so the establishment of Goldman Sachs Greater China is not completely useless.

But Yin Jun also checked, Goldman Sachs Greater China has a total of 327 employees, which may not be a big deal in an ordinary company, and in 2018, Goldman Sachs had more than 40,000 employees, so hundreds of employees, yes Goldman Sachs doesn't seem to be a big deal either.

However, if you put it at this point in 1980, Goldman Sachs had 327 employees in the two regions of Baodao and Xiangjiang, which is a bit meaningful.

Goldman Sachs is not a company with superfluous people. Every employee in this company, including the person who answers the phone, has his own strengths.

The competition here is far more intense than imagined. The number of Goldman Sachs employees who have gone crazy and killed over the years is simply too numerous to count.

To put it bluntly, an ordinary investment bank can handle the business of Baodao and Xiangjiang with only 100 people, but Goldman Sachs can handle it with a maximum of 60 people.

So, what do the extra 260 people do?

Obviously, it is naturally to prepare for entering the mainland in the future!

First, through their familiarity with Baodao and Xiangjiang, and then following the various opportunities of operating in the two places, they directly penetrated into the vast market with a land area of ​​9.6 million square kilometers and a population of 1.2 billion.

Although it is not yet known when they will be able to enter and what they can do after entering, they have accumulated a large number of troops and are ready to enter the interior at any time.

Entering the mainland is not something that was done only after the establishment of Huajing and Shanghai branch offices 14 years later. Instead, it has been actively preparing since reform, reform, and opening up, and then quietly took advantage of opportunities one by one to moisten things silently. Take root in it, then grow up slowly and earn a lot of money for them.

With such foresight and foresight, Yin Jun should naturally be more cautious.

Because he made an appointment by phone yesterday afternoon, Yin Jun easily met Li White, the general manager of Goldman Sachs Greater China.

Li White is not from China. He is an American. His ancestors immigrated to the United States from the Czech Republic. After graduating from Princeton University, he was promoted to a senior partner after working in Goldman Sachs for 15 years. He is only 45 years old this year. The prime of life.

"Mr. Yin, please sit down, would you like coffee or something?" In his spacious office, Li Huaite, who was somewhat bald, greeted Yin Jun to sit down, smiling all over his face.

"Water is fine." Yin Jun said, "I don't like irritating drinks that much."

"Yes, coffee is addictive if you drink too much, and you will drink more and more, and the more you drink, the stronger it will be." Li Huaite took out a bottle of water for Yin Jun in his refrigerator, and gave it to himself. After pouring a cup of coffee, I returned to my seat and sat down, "I was really surprised when I received a call from your company! I wondered if Mr. Yin had some good business to take care of me? For example... going public !?"

Yin Jun couldn't help but laugh, "I don't like listing the company, at least before it reaches the top of the industry."

"If there is such a day, please be sure to discuss with Goldman Sachs." Li Huaite said, "When it comes to listing, whether it is in New York, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, or Singapore, Goldman Sachs is definitely your best partner. "

"good!"

Yin Jun said with a smile.

Goldman Sachs is indeed first-class in its ability to help others go public, and he knows this better than Li White.

After taking a sip of water, Yin Jun expressed his intention in a harmonious voice: "I came to Mr. Li today to make an acquisition in the United States. I wonder if your company is interested in doing so."

When Li Huaite was refreshed, he knew that Yin Jun must have a business to come over in person.

"What is the acquisition? Is there a specific acquisition target? Is Goldman Sachs the exclusive entrusted party?" He asked a series of questions in one breath.

"I want to acquire a film company in the United States." Yin Jun said, "Because I don't know much about American film companies, I don't know which company is good and which company is worth acquiring. But if there is a suitable one , I hope that the larger the scale, the better. Basically, the amount of 200-300 million US dollars is acceptable to me.”

Li White nodded as he listened, "Well, American film companies are very good, and many of them have high-quality properties. If we say the best, they should be the seven major companies in Hollywood, but don't they have a long history and Inheritance means that it has already been controlled by a large group, and it is a bit difficult to obtain. If it is my suggestion, I would suggest that you buy some second-tier film companies, so that you can operate slowly, and there may be unexpected benefits.

But anything is possible, and if the money is right, and those investors and shareholders want to get out, there may not be a chance of getting a major studio. However, the acquisition is not a simple matter. It requires a lot of research and negotiation, which will incur a lot of expenses. I need to explain this to you in advance. "

"No problem." Yin Jun said, "Everything is done according to the rules, whether it's an advance payment or an intermediate settlement. You want to make money, and I want a film company. Everyone gets what they need, and everyone gets what they want. This is the best. "

"I like to cooperate with a straightforward person like Mr. Yin." Li Huaite was very pleased when he heard the words, "Then, after we initial an entrustment contract, I will report to the United States later. After about half a month of preparation, they Are you ready to start working?"

"good!"

Yin Jun also likes such an efficient company.

Although Goldman Sachs is a bit dark, but because before 1999, they were all partners, each responsible for a special project, for their own wallets, of course, is to do things actively and efficiently.

The teenager didn't say what film company he wanted to acquire specifically.

Goldman Sachs is busy now, and there will be no good results.

But at the end of the year, when United Artists has a major problem, they will definitely shine and actively introduce this troubled company to Yin Jun.

At that time, no one said that Yin Jun had premeditated it, but just happened to encounter such a good thing.

Although no one doubts that Yin Jun is a prophet even if he makes a move in December, it is very necessary for long-term development to be careful in everything.
