Chapter 936 Buying a Company Is Not Easy

Wang Jing’s guess was not wrong.

Yin Jun really couldn't let go of Shao and Jiahe.

Especially for Shaw Brothers, Yin Jun has already understood that talking about Shaw Brothers, he hopes that Shaw Brothers will just close it down, and has no intention of giving Shaw Brothers another good film.

He could give Chuck "The Guards", he could give Hung Kam-po "Mr. Zombie", he could give Wu Siyuan "Young Dragons and Tigers", he could give Jiahe "Red Zone", but after "Blind Detective", Shao Yifu was not there Yin Jun got another notebook here.

Since last year, the landscape of Shaw Brothers movies has changed again.

Although there is a new director like Wang Jing, Shaw Brothers has to shoot 30 or 40 films a year. How can it be possible to rely on Wang Jing alone?

But Shaw Brothers' scripts are not good enough, and the directors and actors are still older. The films they produce are basically those that can be seen in theaters for a week or even a day.

So Shao Yifu directly became more extreme and relied on quantity to pile up films.

The production cost is only less than 500,000 yuan, and the shooting cycle is only within one month. Anyway, the labor and equipment of the movie do not cost much. Boss Shao's salary is calculated on a monthly basis when making movies, except for dividends if the movie is sold well. , there is rarely a time to add money.

Oh, by the way, there is also the cheapest set shooting. All the backgrounds can be shot here. Why don’t you go out of the Photography City of Clear Water Bay?

However, such methods did not prevent the continued decline of Shaw Brothers movies.

They made a total of 47 movies last year, but the overall production profit was only 8.3 million, which was directly less than half of the more than 10 million the year before, and not as good as one-tenth of "Police Academy"!

The profits made by these movies are only based on Shao Yifu's stinginess. If more labor was given, he would probably lose money.

However, compared to Shaw Brothers movies, although TVB suffered so many hardships last year, its profit in the year exceeded HK$150 million, which greatly exceeded Shao Yifu's expectations.

Just imagine, if the two young men from the Li family hadn't been causing trouble, TVB wouldn't have had a net profit of over 200 million? !

Calculating it this way, making a TV station is much less troublesome and labor-intensive than making a movie, and it is also easier to develop.

Fang Yihua didn't know how many times she had persuaded Shao Yifu to completely end the film business. At most, as Yin Jun said, it would be enough to maintain the theater and distribution business, and put more energy into the TV station to Seeking greater development.

Apart from anything else, what if the satellite TV made by Yin Jun is successful?

So wireless can definitely follow suit, right?

Even though Fang Yihua hates Yin Jun very much, she still admires this little red guy's abilities, so within Wireless, she is the one who is very optimistic about satellite TV.

But Shao Yifu still refused and still had a lot of attachment.

The biggest motivation to support him now is of course the "Police Academy" series. If this series does well, it will provide Shaw Brothers with tens of millions or hundreds of millions in profits a year. In two more years, he can expand a little bit. After all, the scale of production has capital.

Yin Jun also knew Shao Yifu's plan, but if he was asked to tell Shao Yifu now that I won't play with you anymore, he really couldn't say it.

After all, the young man is not the kind of person who kills and kills decisively, so he cannot be ruthless.

It's easy to say, but it's always so difficult to do.

So, just do this for now and look at it later.

Maybe Shao Yifu will change his operating methods after seeing how much money Yin Jun can make by doing large-scale productions?

Uh... Yin Jun himself doesn't think this idea is reliable. What's reliable is that Shao Yifu actively wants to invest money in and take a small share.

But in all future movies, it is impossible for the boy to accept investment from anyone. Unless it is a movie he produces himself, he will have to make everything himself.

Hollywood's method of spreading risks and actively wooing investors doesn't work at all in Yin Jun's opinion.

No matter how dispersed your investment is, if the movie is not good, it will just attract more people to bury it with you.

What determines the success of a movie is the movie itself and has nothing to do with capital.

Thirty years later, mainland films have also learned this trick, but how many people have you seen succeed?

It was all about big IP and big data analysis, but the results were nonsense, and Ma Yun’s father almost cried because of the loss, let alone the other stupid subsidiaries.

It was a movie that was truly powerful and interesting, but people like them, ignorant of gold and jade, let it go in vain, and they were also sarcastic. As a result, Wu Jing used the astonishing box office of 5.6 billion to slap everyone in the face. The beating made a snapping sound.

At least within 40 years, Yin Jun will have enough confidence to make the movies he wants without losing money.

Not to mention anything else, Marvel, which is within Yin Jun’s must-buy target, has a series of heroic stories and combinations... With the continuous advancement of special effects technology, there is no need to repeat one movie every year.

There is a certain order when buying things.

I had the best luck last year. Not only did I buy United Artists Film Company, which owns the copyrights of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "007" and other series, but I also got Disney, a company that will definitely shine brightly around the world in the future. For Yin Jun, , it’s definitely an unexpected surprise.

After the integration of these two companies, it is equivalent to Yin Jun setting up an aircraft carrier and having a foundation.

The foundation is the most important.

Otherwise, if you just buy Marvel and make a movie, who will distribute it for you and protect you?

Marvel Company is the nuclear strategic weapon on the aircraft carrier. But if you don’t have an aircraft carrier to provide you with a carrier, no matter how powerful it is, the power it can exert will be limited.

In the next few years, Yin Jun's goal in Hollywood, the first step is to let Disney and United Artists Film Company completely gain a foothold and become one of the true seven major players in Hollywood. With its strength, people will have to recognize the status of Kirin Group. , thus integrating into Hollywood.

Among them, the step of establishing an IMAX theater chain is also to assist the development of the two major companies.

After doing this, the boy can consider buying Marvel.

Marvel was unlucky in the 1980s and even the 1990s, especially around 1984 and 1985, and from 1994 to 1996, which were the most difficult periods for Marvel. In two stages, the casino tycoon and another After an investor bought Marvel, in order to pay off his debts, he successively started selling copyrights that was later criticized by movie fans as "crazy".

In 1986 they sold the rights to "Fantastic Four".

The losses were even greater in 1994, when Fox bought the rights to "X-Men", including "Wolverine".

When Marvel went bankrupt in 1996, the Bankruptcy Committee successively sold the copyrights of heroes such as "Deadpool" and "Spider-Man" in order to save Marvel.

Therefore, in order to prevent Marvel's hero system from becoming fragmented, Yin Jun must buy Marvel before 1985.

This is not a big problem. Three or four years is enough for Yin Jun to raise funds and make preparations.

In fact, before the emergence of live-action superhero movies, Marvel's market value has never been high. In 1989, when it was sold to the casino tycoon himself, it was only 85 million. The acquisition price in 1986 was also No more than $120 million.

This little money, as long as 2 months of profits from Transformers, is enough to get it done.

Of course, these things are secondary. The most important thing is that Yin Jun must ensure that the other six major Hollywood giants do not hinder him, otherwise the acquisition of Marvel will be a bit troublesome.

Don’t be afraid of spending too much money. What you are most afraid of is spending money but not achieving your goals.

This time it was very good.

After spending US$2.4 billion to buy Disney, and then taking on US$1 billion of its debt, a total of US$3.4 billion was spent to buy a sunset animation and theme park company. Many people thought Yin Jun was crazy.

Their ridicule and contempt are only because their eyes are only on the present and not on the future.

As long as Yin Jun invites Michael Eisner, in less than 10 years, Disney will transform and become one of the giants of Hollywood, with a market value exceeding 50 billion US dollars. There will be no problem at all.

If in another 10 years, Yin Jun changes the candidate to Robert Iger, and the market value reaches 200 billion US dollars 15 years ahead of schedule, that is not impossible.

Think about it, in just 20 years, this investment of US$3.4 billion can increase more than 60 times. What kind of investment is this?

At that time, I'm afraid these people will lose their moral integrity, kneel down and lick Yin Jun one after another, and shout about Yin Jun's wisdom and prowess, right?

Therefore, when doing things, never give up your original ideas because of other people's opinions. As long as you feel it is right, then stick to it.

In this way, even if you fail, you are willing to do so. It is better than slapping your thigh only after you fail and shouting in frustration, "I knew I wouldn't listen to them", right?

When Chinese people buy companies abroad, even in 2020, they will be subject to many restrictions. It is common to increase money and prices. They just want to sell you more money.

The saddest thing is not that you bought the company at a high price, but that they didn’t even sell it to you after you paid a high price.

For example, Hua Wei has been tricked by the Americans not once or twice.

Xiangjiang has not returned in the past few years, so it is also the best time for Yin Jun to buy the company.

Once it is confirmed that Hong Kong has returned and Britain starts to let things go, it will not be so easy to buy companies in Europe and the United States.

In the previous life, Li Chaoren, Li Sishu, and Zheng Yutong did not go out. The main reason was that they wanted stability, but the foreign environment can also be said to be a very important reason.

If he wants to buy more companies that he needs for his entertainment empire, Yin Jun has really no other way besides working hard to make money and improve his reputation in the past few years!
