Chapter 1948 Playing by Yourself (Part 1)

The acquisition of the Big Seven by foreign capital is not as good as it appears on the surface. Sony acquired Columbia, suffered various losses, and was played to death by the Hollywood gang. It is estimated that the loss reached billions of dollars, and it finally managed to gain a foothold. And it's just standing firm. If you want to talk about further development, let's talk about investing billions of dollars again!

This is based on the fact that Sony itself has developed into the film and television industry and promoted its own Blu-ray and MD formats. Panasonic's acquisition of Universal is almost the same way, the same huge loss. Compared with the two super multinational companies, Guo Tailai does not have such a solid foundation. Artisan Entertainment and Marvel are small companies that can play around at present. Big companies at the level of Warner Brothers do not have professionals in this area. It will definitely be played to death.

Time Warner Prioritizes Guo Tailai's Acquisition? What about cheating ghosts? A large company with a market value of 50 billion US dollars, can it not work? And then it's time to sell the important assets that don't look so high-quality? If it wasn't a trap, Guo Tailai would have written his name upside down.

Can Annie be able to stay calm in the past? It is undeniable that Annie is a very good producer, and can successfully be the producer of James several times, which is not something everyone can do. However, just because she can manage Artisan Entertainment doesn't mean she can manage Warner Bros. Those guys with eyes on the top of their heads, can they put a small company's wandering soldiers in their eyes? Obedience on the surface and contempt behind the scenes, obedience and transgression are all light.

What's more, the other party's purpose is to get a part of the shares of Artisan Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment, which is even more obvious. Since Guo Tailai announced that he is a fan of Iron Man and that Marvel plans to invest heavily in the filming of the Marvel Universe, more than one or two people have paid attention to Marvel. Warner still thinks very beautifully here!

However, since Guo Tailai doesn't want to acquire Warner Brothers now, their moves are useless. Anyway, Guo Tailai doesn't regard film and television as his main business now, and sticks to the basics of nursing care. It is enough to do domestic processing vigorously. Why do he want so much?

Anyway, Warner Bros. has such a delicious meal, some people want to eat it, so let them! So many people have helped Guo Tailai work so hard to secretly exclude Warner for such a long time. It is obviously inappropriate to rely on everyone's friendship to let people handle things. It also depends on benefits. Warner Bros. let everyone divide up, and this benefit is always enough. As for how Time Warner will deal with it, that is their business, as long as they can withstand the attack and bite of a pack of wolves on Wall Street and Hollywood.

Suddenly, Guo Tailai realized that if he didn't think about these things, his whole body would be really relaxed! I don't have such a big appetite, so I have to ask for something. I just want a fashion magazine to send a cover photo to Sister Shi's girlfriend to promote it. It is said that there is a trend in the entertainment industry now, whoever has more covers of fashion magazines will be popular, and in the future, he will make a fashion magazine and post pictures of his girlfriend every day, with the front cover, the second cover and the third back cover all, who is afraid of whom?

Guo Tailai put the matter down, but the news still spread. After all, Warner Brothers can't hide such a big deal. Guo Tailai had only been here for two days, when Chuxiong called.

"Warner Brothers, you don't want to buy it?" Chu Xiong was very curious about Guo Tailai's thoughts. With such a good opportunity to get involved in the top seven in Hollywood, Guo Tailai didn't show any signs of doing it? The opportunity is so rare, Chu Xiong also moved his mind: "If the funds are not enough, can we win it together?"

In the past few years, Taihua Group has been promoting Taihua Plaza to first- and second-tier cities across the country according to the routine of Taihua Plaza that Guo Tailai said back then. Every Taihua Plaza in each city will have a Taihua Cinema, which is not too big or small. . Moreover, Taihua almost only promotes first- and second-tier cities. Now there are almost hundreds of Taihua Plazas planned, at most no more than 150, with an average of three in each city, and ten screening halls in each theater, which is about 1,500. Hundreds of screens.

In addition, Chuxiong and Guo Tailai jointly opened a Taihua film and television company in China, which mainly makes films in China. The scale is not the largest, but it is not small. It sits around and releases a batch of films and TV series every year. It can be regarded as the industry. person. Under such circumstances, it is relatively normal for Chuxiong to want to participate in the acquisition of Warner Bros.

"At least ten billion U.S. dollars." Guo Tailai directly stated the other party's price: "How can we get such a large sum of money now? What's more, the other party wants to exchange shares. Which company can I exchange for them? What is the final decision? Those people have no good intentions."

Chu Xiong is a member of the Treasure Ship Club, of course he knows what most of the funds are being used for, and he understands after hearing it: "So that's the case, then I will ignore it for the time being."

As soon as Chuxiong's phone was put down here, Boss Han's phone came over there, asking the same thing.

"Winning Warner Bros. is an important big step to break into Hollywood, and it's a good thing to win glory for the country!" Mr. Han thought more about the national honor, so he came up and analyzed: "Xiao Guo, we I think you should think about it."

"Uncle Han! I'm poor! I can't afford to think about it!" Guo Tailai complained on the phone: "At least 10 billion US dollars, where can I get 10 billion US dollars? How about Uncle Han, talk to the higher-ups and get it?" $10 billion interest-free loan to me?"

"If your companies squeeze together, how can you get billions of dollars in loans?" Boss Han knew a lot about Guo Tailai, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Don't you still have two companies in Hollywood, you should exchange some with them appropriately." Shares, don’t you just take them down? It’s a pity to miss such a good opportunity for Huaxia Film and Television to go global! Well, this is not what I mean by myself, some of the leaders above also mean the same, and I strongly support it.”

If Huaxia also has a company that can control a Hollywood Seven, many things will be easy to handle in the future. Some domestic films go to the world and go international, isn't this easy to accomplish? What's more, Guo Tailai also has an AMC theater chain. If it is well operated, this is the opportunity for the Chinese film industry to take off!

"Uncle Han, each of my companies has a large amount of loans! Where can I mortgage the money now?" Guo Tailai continued to complain on the phone. Anyway, it is a fact that there are loans, and he is not afraid to check: "Also, just buying It’s not enough, as you know, if we send our people directly, they will definitely not be able to integrate into the big environment, and we have to use people from Hollywood. Referring to Sony and Panasonic’s acquisition of Columbia and Universal, I have to prepare billions of dollars in advance to let them burn Practice your hands. One hundred billion dollars, more than one hundred billion yuan! How about, Uncle Han, you use Huaying as a mortgage, and I will buy it by lending the money?"

A large sum of money was borrowed to build the Iron Man Building and the airport, and Zhengyifang Technology also forced a bunch of loans backed by it. Anyway, I am not afraid of checking. After checking, there are tens of billions of loans, and I can’t come up with 100 billion to buy. Warner Bros., is that normal?
