Chapter 1018 Targeting Hollywood Movie Giants!

The Beverly Hills villa is magnificent and luxurious inside and out.

It turns out that the previous owner of the Beverly Hills villa spent nearly a million dollars to renovate it.

In the 1980s, it was really different to spend millions of dollars to renovate it.

Now Yang Ming is taking a comfortable bath in an Italian bathtub, where he can also see the scenery outside.

"Master, do you need me to call Chu Hong and Jia Hui?" asked Ah Zhu on the side.

"Go ahead."

. . .

When Yang Ming finished his bath.

Return to the study next to the master bedroom.

Yang Ming noticed that in addition to the large area of ​​this study, the bookshelves here are filled with many books. Moreover, the layout of this study looks very comfortable.

Ten minutes later.

Yuan Tianfan came here to see Yang Ming.

"Boss, are you satisfied with this place?"

At the beginning, Yuan Tianfan still asked people to choose for a long time before choosing this Beverly Hills villa.

"Not bad."

This time Yang Ming came to Los Angeles for Hollywood in Los Angeles.

"Tianfan, is there a branch of Future Capital in Los Angeles?"

"Boss, there isn't one here."

San Francisco Silicon Valley is only a few hundred kilometers away from here, not too far.

Future Capital doesn't have a branch in Los Angeles.

If that's the case, Yang Ming will have to send someone from Future Capital headquarters to acquire the Hollywood movie giant this time.

"First, you should check the information of Hollywood movie companies, and then we will select the appropriate movie companies to acquire."

"Yes, boss."

Although Empire Group has its own Asian movie company in Hong Kong, it is not enough in Yang Ming's opinion.

Yang Ming's acquisition of Marvel Comics in New York is actually the first step to enter Hollywood movies, and even European and American movies.

But this is far from enough.

Yuan Tianfan went to rest first.

Yang Ming is still in the study.

Los Angeles time.

22:45 in the evening.

Yang Ming went back to the master bedroom to rest.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming hadn't woken up yet, and the sunlight outside the window shone in, which was a bit dazzling.

At this time, the daytime temperature here was around 20 degrees Celsius, which was still very comfortable.

The most important thing is that it is not far from the sea.

Yang Ming got up and looked at the azure blue east coast of the Pacific Ocean in the distance outside the window. The scenery is really beautiful.

It is much more beautiful than what you see in Long Island, New York. No wonder the Beverly Hills villa attracts so many people.

Yang Ming got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

He found that Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Park Jinhui and others had all gotten up early.

It is especially good to have breakfast and enjoy the scenery in the villa now.

"Sir, the scenery here is really good." Zhong Chuhong came over and said.

"This place is really good. You can treat it as a vacation during this period."

After breakfast.

Yang Ming returned to the study upstairs.

Yuan Tianfan called Landon at the Future Headquarters in Silicon Valley and asked him to send someone to Los Angeles to assist in the acquisition of the film company.

Landon selected staff.

In the afternoon, employees of Future Capital can fly in from San Francisco.

. . .

Noon.

Yang Ming and He Chaoxue and others had lunch at the Beverly Hills Villa.

After lunch, they went to rest.

15:30 pm.

After Yang Ming got up.

Because there is an indoor swimming pool in the Beverly Hills Villa, and the temperature here is still very good, Yang Ming also prepared to swim in the indoor swimming pool.

In addition to Yang Ming himself, he also invited He Chaoxue and Park Jinhui to swim together.

When Yang Ming and them finished swimming.

16:30 pm.

Got up and had afternoon tea in the restaurant.

At this time, the headquarters of Future Capital Company sent eight people to Los Angeles to assist Yuan Tianfan in acquiring a Hollywood film company.

After these people came to Los Angeles, Yuan Tianfan first took them to the Beverly Hills Villa to meet the boss.

"Boss, they are all sent by Landon."

"You can set up a branch of Future Capital in Los Angeles first."

. . .

Before the sun sets.

Before dinner comes.

Yang Ming found that the scenery and sunset at the seaside are particularly beautiful.

Yang Ming took Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, He Chaoxun, Lin Xiuzhi, and Park Jinhui to walk on the beach.

Walking on the beach, that feeling is really good.

Before dinner.

Yang Ming and others went back to the Beverly Hills villa for dinner.

22:00 in the evening.

Yang Ming was in the study.

Yuan Tianfan came back.

In the afternoon, Yuan Tianfan and the eight staff members sent by the Future Capital headquarters first selected a suitable office location in Los Angeles, and then bought it directly.

They began to check all the big and small Hollywood movies and related companies according to what Yang Ming said.

Of course, this takes time, and it won’t be so fast to check everything.

Next.

For nearly a week.

Yang Ming was almost on vacation.

June 18, 1985.

Tuesday.

Morning.

Yang Ming’s study.

Except Yuan Tianfan, the eight Future Capital staff members are here.

After a week of investigation, they have investigated all the big and small Hollywood film companies.

Among them, there are eight major Hollywood film giants.

Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, United Artists, 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney.

Among them, 20th Century Fox had just been acquired by Australian news media tycoon Murdoch in March, and basically there is no possibility of acquisition.

Disney has been operating very well, and it is also impossible to be acquired.

The remaining six Hollywood movie giants.

MGM.

Due to years of losses, it was bought by Kirk Kerkorian, a gambling tycoon in the United States.

Kerkorian is the gambling king of Las Vegas, and is keen on casinos and hotel industries. Therefore, MGM is getting further and further away from the film industry. Since then, Kerkorian has resold MGM twice and bought it back twice, causing MGM to suffer.

During this period, MGM had a small turnaround. In 1981, the company swallowed up another depressed big production company, United Artists Films of the United States. This company had produced excellent films such as "Lilies of the Field", "West Side Story", "The Apartment", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "The Graduate", "Rocky", and owned the 007 brand.

However, the combined film market share of the two companies only accounted for a pitiful 6%.

Since there were no cable TV channels, TV networks or broadband pipelines, and no media groups to back them up, independent production companies like MGM were naturally controlled by others.

In other words, at this time, MGM and United Artists had formed a company.

. . .

However, Yang Ming remembered.

In the late 1980s, when the housing prices in Japan were at their highest in the world, Sony acquired Columbia Pictures for US$4.8 billion (670 billion yen at the time).

However, Sony is now being sniped by Empire Games in the field of games. Compared with the Sony in history, the current Sony is much worse in terms of game software and hardware.

It is impossible to take over Disney and 20th Century Fox.

As for Columbia Pictures, there is no chance to acquire them for the time being. Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal are all developing normally. If you want to acquire them, it is not impossible, but the price you need to pay is much higher.
