"Mr. Wu, our current quotation is already very low. I hope you can consider it. It is really very affordable. Please believe me... God will bear witness. What I said is the truth. This is already a good deal."

Very worth the price...”

When Wu Xiang was in the United States, the person he met the most was naturally John Boehner, but the second person was Mr. Brown from Miramax. This guy had been in contact with Wu Xiang. In fact, he

It should be ranked first because this guy is extremely sincere every time.

Sincerely promoting his company, he hoped that Wu Xiang could buy Miramax.

I've mentioned this to Wu Xiang before. At that time, Wu Xiang was working on his "Snowpiercer", and this film actually made Mira a fortune. However, this was a profit, but it couldn't be sustained.

Others have to pay for it, so this Miramax still has to be sold!

This decision was naturally made by Mira's parent company, Disney. This is actually a very normal capital operation, which can be regarded as divesting non-performing assets.

Yes, Miramax is a non-performing asset. If we look at Disney's financial statements, we will all see that Disney is very, very profitable. This is true, but you must know that Disney, a giant enterprise, is not only

It is a movie industry. It has amusement parks, TV stations, several TV stations, music... Anyway, there are many, many, and its tentacles extend to almost every corner of the world, but it is the movie that loses money!

Yes, that's it. Movies are an industry where it loses money, and in better years it breaks even. And don't forget. Disney has acquired DreamWorks, so Mira's functions somewhat overlap with DreamWorks.

Mira's characteristic in the past was that she could win by surprise, and she could always find some films with small costs and high profits, and most of these films followed the novelty route. To be honest, at the time, this company really had a Lionsgate style, and its profitability was quite high.

is strong, otherwise Disney would not have invested in this company in the first place.

But that was the era of the Weinstein brothers. But then these two guys ran away, along with a lot of very talented executives, and Mira immediately became a junk stock.

This company is really a non-performing asset now, so selling it is still a very good choice. This company is not without value. At least it has many, many movie copyrights.

So, will Wu Xiang buy it? He seems to have no shortage of money.

"Old friend, I still know very well what you are talking about. Miramax has shown great sincerity. This is good. I understand, I understand, I really

Understand……"

Do you understand? Just understand and that’s it. Should you buy it or not?

"Mr. Wu. Dear Mr. Wu, please give me a warm word. I know what you Chinese think. Many things are not always so straightforward, but the friendship between us two, you can tell me clearly.

Let me."

I have to say that Brown was very concerned about selling his company, especially since he also learned a lot of Chinese habits so that he could better communicate with Wu Xiang and establish better friendships.

.

But, business is still business.

"Actually, I heard before, isn't that George Clooney very interested in acquiring your company?" Wu Xiang is such a bad guy, he actually took a step towards Brown like this.

"That..." Brown was embarrassed.

Before, yes! That guy George Clooney wanted to buy it, but at that time, didn't Milla make a fortune from releasing "Snowpiercer", so Milla and Disney executives felt that this Milla

There is still a certain prospect for attracting companies.

So, they got arrogant and raised Clooney's offer, not much, just over $100 million more.

Let’s put it this way, under the system of modern traditional large enterprises, this is basically how administration is done. Even if I make a profit, then I have to give it a good blow to the superiors. Of course, the details here

You can master it yourself, but if everyone does it, then can you realize the ability of professional managers, right? Especially the professional managers of European and American companies, because they don’t have much time given to them. The big bosses above all depend on you.

Achievement.

What? Will we be able to make money after two years? That’s absolutely not possible. I’m still almost there in two months!

Then you have to only look at the immediate benefits, so it is normal to blow such a blow, and such a blow will put Mira's sales work in ruins.

Aren’t you fooling me? Are you adding more money? It’s so easy to make a fucking 100 million U.S. dollars? It’s not like a strong wind!

When George Clooney saw this situation, he simply stopped playing with them. Isn't this cheating me? Besides, Clooney himself doesn't have much money, although he is definitely a successful person among Hollywood stars, at the level of a big boss.

, but this acquisition of Miramax is a multi-billion dollar move, which he absolutely cannot afford to do alone, and he has to listen to the boss above.

If this deal is completed, then Mr. Brown will not come to Mr. Wu. But the current situation is that Mila has lowered the price again, and it has dropped by hundreds of millions of dollars. But the sad thing is that Clooney will invest in the movie.

, and the money in hand is gone.

This movie is "The Treasure Hunt" and it was released in China not long ago. In the end, it only made less than 30 million at the box office. It can be said that it was so miserable that it had no friends!

Why is it so miserable?

In fact, this movie in Wu Xiang's memory doesn't seem to have received much box office. In China, it is more than 40 million RMB. But now, there is Wu Xiang's "Aibao Island Diary", so,

There are about 30 million left.

This is the box office that relies on a lot of stars. If it weren't for Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, and Bill Murray, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be 30 million.

No guarantee.

And just because there are such a large number of stars, and because this is a movie set during World War II, it can be regarded as a war movie. How can the cost of this movie be lowered?

This movie not only sucked at the box office in China, but also at the global box office. It only just exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Such a big movie had such a disastrous result, and the movie's reputation was even worse. Many fans complained that just watching

There are a bunch of celebrity faces, and the rest are amazing!

Uncle Clooney will lose his pants because of the loss. Naturally, he will not be able to acquire Mila.

Moreover, the current recurring situation with Mira is that it raised the price before and then lowered the price again. Anyone who is a normal investor will think that there is something fishy about this company, right? Then who doesn’t do a thorough research before making a move?

So, in fact, no one is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire this film company.

Well, it’s already hundreds of millions now…

"Mr. Wu, just tell me straight. How can you acquire Miramax? How low do you have to lower the price?" Brown also saw that this Wu Xiang is definitely not an easy guy to get along with.

Moreover, Brown has made a lot of preparations and has heard many rumors about Chinese businessmen doing business.

For example, a Chinese businessman once valued an American company and proposed to acquire it. As a result, the price offered by the company was too expensive. Then the Chinese businessman saw that he couldn't afford it, but he still wanted to buy it. What should he do?

A Chinese businessman acquired a small company of the same type. It was very small. Then they copied the products of the company they originally had their eyes on. This copycat product was so powerful that the small company began to seize the market. Soon the original company was no longer good.

, and finally cried and begged Chinese businessmen to buy it.

It is said that the company originally asked for a price of US$1 billion, but the final transaction price was less than 100 million RMB!

Of course, the rumors may be exaggerated, but now, doesn't this fall on Brown?

"Oh, my old friend, when talking about price, it's more about feelings." This guy Wu Xiang laughed, which immediately made Brown lose track.

Obviously, Brown doesn't know how to talk about relationships without talking about money.

Wu Xiang continued: "As for the price, actually... Of course, if you can lower it a little more, I will be very happy."

This almost made Brown so angry that blood came out of his mouth. After talking for a long time, wasn't it still money?

But Wu Xiang hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued with a smile: "What, actually, I think it would be too boring to just acquire a Miramax. Why don't you ask your superiors for instructions again?"

How about selling Disney's entire movie business to me? What do you think?"

"What?"

As soon as Wu Xiang said this, Brown was frightened!

Disney's entire movie business?

Brown really wants to ask, do you, Wu Xiang, know how much Disney’s entire film business is worth?

For us Chinese, we are definitely familiar with the word Disney from Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, but in fact, it is a media giant, absolutely powerful.

Although there are not many words about the movie business, just in 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm, that is, George Lucas, the director of Star Wars and the pioneer of modern film technology, and this deal

The acquisition is more than 4 billion US dollars!

Disney actually acquired Marvel before, and even earlier it was DreamWorks, which was ripping off skins and shells. These were all money, huge transactions!

You, Wu Xiang, are just a director. Yes, you are now the best director at the Oscar, but do you have the ability to take on such a behemoth?!

However, Brown did not ask such a question. He thought of something else.

"Mr. Wu, did you want to acquire the New York Times not long ago?"

The New York Times? Why does this involve New York again?

New York? This, this seems to be who is going there, Brother Biao, is it him?

"Hey hey hey..." Wu Xiang did not say yes, nor did he say no... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
