Chapter 312 Hey, Boy, Pay the Protection Fee

In the days that followed, Joan began to have frequent private contacts with the prodigal sons of the Monte family, and offered them a price to act.

In this regard, the five major Hollywood film companies are still kept in the dark and don't know about it.

Because they want to win the theater chain that the Monte family has run for decades at a low price, the five major film companies have tacitly used methods to force the prodigal sons to submit.

But they just didn't expect that Joan would be killed at this time.

The price Qiao An offered was a 10% premium over the 24 billion yuan, which was far from the 30% she said on Kim Hyun-tae's side.

After all, Qiao An is not stupid, she also wants to fight for Jin Xiantai's interests.

On the one hand, there is the lower price of the five major film companies, and on the other hand, there is a 10% premium. The gains and losses among them can be measured by the gains and losses even for an ignorant prodigal son.

Therefore, the balance began to gradually tilt towards Qiao An and Kim Hyun-tae.

Negotiations are still going on, but Joan estimates that it won't take long for this matter to be almost done.

The reason why it has not been completely successful is that the prodigal sons of the Monte family want to get more benefits.

After all, who doesn't want their theaters to sell for a good price.

At the same time, Qiao An also started to integrate the companies under Jin Xiantai's name.

Toy factories, animation production companies, theaters with 3,000 theaters, and the "West Bund Current Affairs" newspaper were all incorporated into CNN by Joan's implementation of Kim Hyun-tae's vision.

So far, CNN TV, in addition to being the largest TV media on the West Coast, has also become the newspaper that controls the West Coast, produces film and television animation trends, is involved in film and television, and has the ability to release films independently. It has the largest success in the United States? The rudiment of the media entertainment group of the people production company.

Of course, there is another achievement for myself? Kim Hyun-tae has been struggling with the fact that he is a film production company.

But this is not his wish after all, and now what? Human film production companies are still very profitable. It is not wise to just give up like this, so Kim Hyun-tae finally had to accept such a helpless reality.

Whiston Bank's 40% stake in CNN was taken by Kim Hyun-tae without any hindrance because of Anne's instruction. For this, Kim Hyun-tae also paid a "price" of 12 billion US dollars, and he has now become the de facto owner of CNN.

In this integration, considering the rapid development of IT in the future, the instant network communication created by Jin Xiantai, that is, QQ, was also integrated. Merged into CNN Media Group, becoming the network division.

At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae established a QQ official website, allowing CNN news to be released on the QQ official website. At the same time, he also opened the function of commenting on facts, which can be regarded as the use of CNN's resources, saving QQ the little trouble of hiring reporters and editors.

Anyway, CNN TV station has many reporters and editors, so it is the same to let them work part-time to publish news on QQ.

It's just more money.

And because CNN is not listed, coupled with the merger of some companies with great development potential, especially the merger of the network instant messaging company invested by Jin Xiantai. Therefore, Wall Street's evaluation agency raised CNN's value evaluation again, reaching as much as 180 billion U.S. dollars.

But it's a rating after all,

Can't be a real thing.

But if we give Kim Hyun-tae and Qiao An a little bit of development, CNN will really have such value in the future.

After the integration, Qiao An also established four departments: the Legal Department, the Financial Supervision and Audit Department, the Public Relations Department, and the Development Strategy Research Department. Dedicated to the future development of CNN Media Entertainment after the service integration.

So far, Kim Hyun-tae no longer needs to be distracted by these companies, and Qiao An can also manage these companies with scattered theaters through CNN.

The merger has received mixed reviews from the outside world. People think that Kim Hyun-tae burnt too much money.

However, there are also some people who have seen the way and think that CNN will develop rapidly in the future.

The whole person is the founder of Facebook and Twitter in different time and space, and now the American IT industry leader who is full of limelight in the United States and even the world, Sam Kravis.

Combining traditional media and online media, the effect produced is not as simple as 1+1, especially the rapid development of QQ. It is not impossible to surpass Facebook and Twitter in the future.

Sam, who has been paying attention to the development of QQ, has a different view on this matter from everyone else. He is very optimistic about the future of CNN after integration.

In particular, Kim Hyun-tae, the 100% owner of the merged CNN Entertainment Media Group, still holds sufficient cash of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is enough for the merged CNN to have a stable development environment in the future.

But Sam is also very curious about where the future profit points of QQ will be. Anyway, he is very curious about it now.

Not to mention Sam, in fact, many venture capitalists in the United States, Wall Street financiers, and IT industry operators are very curious about this.

You must know that in the different time and space of the US Internet industry, 99% of the websites, including Facebook and Twitter, have not found a profit direction.

Among them, Sam, the owner of Facebook and Twitter, also relies on the large number of Internet users to earn advertising fees, as well as large sums of money from venture capitalists.

Then the limelight is strong, and it has expanded to nearly 10 billion Internet users a year, and the users are all over the American continent, and even extended to QQ in Europe. What will it rely on in the future to support it?

You know, in order to ensure the smooth experience of QQ users, Kim Hyun-tae invested a huge sum of 50 billion U.S. dollars and established 16 data processing centers.

This investment is not a big deal.

What is even more curious is that Kim Hyun-tae has not received any venture capital funding until now, and completely controls QQ by himself, which is different from all Internet companies in the United States.

In this regard, some people envy others ridicule, in short, the reactions are different.

You know, venture capital money is easy to get, but after taking it, there will be a lot of troubles.

For example, my control over the company is weakened, and the financial and business direction must be restrained, etc.

But Kim Hyun-tae will not encounter such troubles, because without any venture capital money, he can completely control his QQ, and he can play however he wants.

So, this is very enviable.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone is optimistic about the future development of QQ created by Kim Hyun-tae. But it is impossible for him to go public for financing.

joke!

If the financier's money does not go into QQ, how can he be listed.

Because in this way, those big crocodiles will not be able to make money.

So many people are waiting to see the joke.

Because many people think that Jin Xiantai will also use the way of listing to raise funds to solve financial problems. To support the development of QQ, while looking for profit direction.

But what everyone doesn't know is that Kim Hyun-tae never thought about listing QQ at all, at least not now.

Because it is listed now, he will lose money to death.

Others do not know. Isn't Kim Hyun-tae not clear about the development potential and profit points of QQ?

hum!

When QQ develops and makes money in the future, I don’t know how many people will be scared to death.

"You now have a balance of $140.1 billion in your bank account."

After confirming the account balance, Kim Hyun-tae hung up the phone, feeling much more at ease.

Originally, he had $152.2 billion in cash deposits in the bank.

However, because of the purchase of Whiston Bank's 40% stake in CNN, which cost $12 billion, and the investment in Jonathan's film, another $100 million was used, so he needs to confirm the funds in his bank account.

This is simply the mentality of the petty bourgeoisie.

Of course, after knowing how much money he has now, Kim Hyun-tae can also know whether he is right or not.

In the morning, Joan also called to tell himself to prepare cash. The price prodigal son of the Monte family is likely to agree to sell their shares in the near future.

At the same time, Dave wanted to sell the California Publishing House he was running. Joan also contacted Dave. He is now undergoing the final asset appraisal. After the appraisal is over, he will take out the money again, right?

Based on the above two points, Kim Hyun-tae thinks he should look at his bank account.

Kim Hyun-tae is still willing to acquire Dave's California Press.

After all, with the acquisition of California Publishing House, my income from novels will definitely increase a lot in the future, at least I don't have to share the profits with others. This must be a good thing.

At the same time, the novels published by others can be divided into themselves.

Look how good this is.

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae was very happy.

Call the bank. It was school lunch break that Kim Hyun Tae used.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae is still a high school student, he has to go to school except on Sundays, so he is not so leisurely.

After hanging up the call with the director of Whiston Bank, Kim Hyun-tae sat on the lawn of the campus bored, and simply logged on to the news page of QQ, and began to browse the news.

Thanks to the incorporation of CNN Television. With CNN's media resources, QQ's official website has a lot of real-time news reports, which are more and better-looking than other websites.

But after watching for a while, Kim Hyun-tae withdrew from the QQ official website news, but looked at news reports from other websites.

"Papani's luxury car raced wildly, resulting in three deaths and one injury. The perpetrator was a Chinese student. The perpetrator has been arrested by the local police. According to our reporter, the Chinese student is the second generation of rich Chinese. His father has arrived in the United States. Hired a team of thirty lawyers...》

"The crime rate in Flushing, New York has soared. The police spokesman said that it may be related to the increase in the population of Chinese Americans. Most of the criminals are Chinese, including some Hispanic and African Americans living around Flushing..."

After reading several news reports on the Internet, Jin Xiantai couldn't help frowning.

He found that the recent news seemed to be very negative, and all of them involved Chinese people.

This is not a good sign.

Although Kim Hyun-tae is still a novice in the strict sense, he has improved compared to before.

At least from the fact that he feels something is wrong, it can be seen that he has made some progress.

And the fact is true, now most of the media in the United States seem to have started to report some negative articles about Chinese Americans, especially for the group of Chinese Americans who go to work and do business in the United States. Green card immigration.

But does it make a difference?

Apparently it doesn't.

Even with citizenship and a green card, Chinese Americans are Chinese Americans.

Other ethnic groups in the United States do not distinguish people from each other.

There must be some factors here.

Jin Xiantai frowned and initially formed a judgment in his heart.

Fortunately, CNN under his name did not report news in this area because of his Chinese-American boss, which comforted Kim Hyun-tae.

And just as Jin Xiantai was pondering the reasons for this, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and it was still in Chinese.

"Hey! Boy! Pay the protection fee!" (To be continued.)
