Chapter 628 The Plot of the Hilton Family
In the suite of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Yang Cheng looked innocently at the sulking Paris Hilton, neither standing nor sitting, slandering her heart, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
"No matter what, people have been driven away by me, haven't they?" Yang Cheng finally couldn't help complaining.
If there is no credit, there will be hard work, so it's fine if you don't thank her. As for pulling your face, is it the same as who owes her billions?
Paris snorted coldly, "The person was driven away, and I paid for it. Since you have received the money, you have to do a good job in the service."
Unexpectedly, this sao prodigal hoof had sharp teeth, and he followed Yang Cheng's words and snapped back.
Yang Cheng was completely speechless, "Then what do you want to do? I don't have time to sit with you."
Paris smiled coquettishly, "I think the "Tampa Bay Times" is good, have you bought it? Kill two birds with one stone, you have harvested a regional newspaper with good sales, and I have completely got rid of that kid's entanglement, I believe that without this layer Asylum, my family will not try their best to match us up."
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes, "Speaking of it, I'm also surprised, what is there in the Quinn family that deserves your Hilton's attention? Maybe a mere "Tampa Bay Times" is not enough? What's more, according to what you mean, your family is very interested in this The newspaper is not interested?"
Anyway, there was no third person in the room now, and Paris didn't have any scruples. He sat directly in Yang Cheng's arms, put his arms around Yang Cheng's neck and smiled, "You're still smart, and you figured out the crux of the problem right away."
After a pause, he adjusted to a more comfortable posture, and said quietly, "In fact, the influence of the Quinn family in Florida is very important, otherwise there would be no channel to contact our Hilton family."
Yang Cheng nodded. What Paris said makes sense. You must know that due to geographical issues, the wealthy class in the United States is divided into countless factions, just like the Hilton family and the Quinn family. Leaving aside the issue of family strength, if not for some A specific connection, the possibility of almost communication between the two.
And the fact that the Hilton family was able to select a member of the Quinn family as one of the candidates for Paris's future husband-in-law shows that their family background may not be as weak as it seems, and it has only gradually declined in recent years.
"Do you know about Carnival Cruise Lines?" Paris asked.
Yang Cheng nodded without thinking, "Of course, the world's largest cruise company is owned by Mickey Arison, the owner of the NBA's Miami Heat."
"That's right, his wife's name is Savannah Quinn, Chris Quinn's cousin, and Steven's aunt." Paris told the truth.
It turns out that there is still such a relationship, no wonder the Hilton family treats Steven Quinn differently.
Yang Cheng finally understood the twists and turns here.
Although Mickey Arison inherited his father's legacy, it is undeniable that his outstanding management skills have enabled Carnival Cruise Line to grow further, accounting for 42% of the global market share in one fell swoop.
"So your family is trying to tie up Mickey Arison's line through marriage to acquire Carnival Cruise Line? You can't finish the business of the hotel, why do you want to get involved in the cruise line again?" Yang Cheng asked puzzled.
"What is the essential difference between a hotel and a cruise ship? To put it bluntly, it is more like moving Las Vegas to a cruise ship. The Hilton Group has been hit repeatedly in the hotel market over the years. Brands such as Marriott, Sheraton, and InterContinental are all interested in us. Hilton stares at it, and if it doesn’t seek change, it will end up being the fish of others sooner or later.”
Yang Cheng smiled wryly, "If the merger and acquisition is completed, it will definitely catch everyone's attention. The market value of Carnival Cruise Line is now approaching 30 billion, right?"
Paris thought for a while, then shook his head, "Not that much, now at $42 per share, the total market value is just over 22 billion."
"Admiration, come on, I won't participate in this matter, you can toss it slowly." Yang Cheng pushed away Paris, who was full of resentment, and adjusted his clothes to leave. The people in the city played too much, and the little heart couldn't bear it. .
The super high market share of Carnival Cruises is really eye-catching. If you can belong to yourself,
Yang Cheng is absolutely confident that his cultural tourism group will become the number one in the world. Unfortunately, this super high market value makes him elusive. If it is only a few billion, he will have to compete with the Hilton Group , Now I can only watch from a distance and drool.
After leaving the hotel, she called Xu Lingyue and learned that they were having a big dinner in West Hollywood. Yang Cheng didn't go to join in the fun, but went to New Era Films to learn more about the company's current situation.
. . .
"Hey, Donna, where are you going?"
It happened that while waiting for the elevator, Donna Langde came out of it and was shocked when she saw Yang Cheng.
"Boss, don't say hello before you come here. I have a free schedule. I am going to the dinner with Adam Goodman, the former CEO of Paramount Pictures. Now I can't push it away." Donna stepped out of the elevator and told Yang Orange explained.
Yang Cheng waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's okay, you are busy with your work, but when did Paramount change its president?"
Donna Round pushed her glasses, "Last month, Adam Goodman voluntarily submitted a resignation letter to the company. According to some friends, Adam Goodman resigned because of tension with major brokerage companies. Last year he had one year left on his contract with Paramount."
Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "Who will replace him? An acquaintance of ours?"
Every change in Hollywood's Big Six will set off a bloodbath. This is not an exaggeration. Now, as an important cash cow under New Era Media, every move of New Era Pictures deserves Yang Cheng's attention.
"The one who replaced Adam Goodman is an old employee of Paramount. His name is Mark Evans. I don't know if you know the boss. He has worked in Paramount for more than 10 years and has quite a lot of experience. The reviews are pretty good.
His most recent position was President of Production. During his tenure, Mark Evans has participated in the production of many blockbuster films, including "Star Trek", "Mission: Impossible" and "Transformers". Mark Evans will report directly to Paramount Pictures Chairman and CEO Brad Gray. "
For this information, Donna Round is very familiar with it.
Yang Cheng understood, but what was the intention of the resigned Adam Goodman to ask Donna Round to dinner? If it's just to reminisce about the old days, there is no need to arrange a formal lunch. A cup of afternoon tea can bring the relationship closer to each other.
Throwing this question to Donna Round, what she got was a sly smile, "Boss, I will give you an answer to this question when I come back from dinner, maybe there will be a surprise then."
Yang Cheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Nobody likes surprises, right? ()
