Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh unpredictable people(1/2)

Of course, Meyer may also be a professional manager of this company in the future. After all, there are very few presidents as capable as her in Hollywood.

As for MGM, it is currently developing very well in Hollywood. With the support of DreamWorks and Robert Iger, it will be difficult for the company not to develop.

With the support of two great directors, Spielberg and Cameron, MGM is currently the fastest growing among the eight major Hollywood giants, and will catch up with Disney in a few years.

"BOSS, the risk of producing original works is getting higher and higher now. It is not an option to continue like this. I wonder if we should pay to acquire Marvel, a comic company?"

"Are they short of money?"

"No, why isn't there a shortage? Some superheroes are now being sold to replenish their blood. Spider-Man was directly bought by Warner Bros. for ten years of copyright, and..."

Zhao Hong suddenly fell into deep thought after listening to Robert Egger's words.

Marvel Comics is an American comic giant as famous as DC Comics.

It was founded in the 1940s and officially named Marvel in 1961. It owns Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Wolverine, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Evil Dead, etc.

There are more than 8,000 comic characters such as Ghost Rider and superhero teams such as Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

At the end of 2008, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel for US$4.24 billion, acquiring the ownership of most comic book characters.

In the time to come, Hollywood will be dominated by Marvel heroes, who are basically raking in hundreds of millions or billions of dollars around the world.

You could say this is a gold mine.

At present, Marvel has not been on the right track. It has not produced a few blockbuster movies and made the Marvel series popular. It seems that it has filmed two movies, but neither of them made much money.

Therefore, many film companies actually don't pay much attention to them. The main reason is that most of the comic characters such as saviors are outdated.

There are not too many truly influential heroes.

Also, superhero movies these days don’t make much money, or are not popular.

Hollywood's ability to innovate is quite good now, with many original and good movies being released every year.

This greatly meets the needs of the audience.

Zhao Hong knew that buying Marvel now was a sure-profit deal, but he was a little hypocritical and felt that if he made a hero movie, it would be a betrayal of his own nation.

After all, these hero movies are going to be popular all over the world, and by then they will even convey some American values, which can be regarded as a kind of cultural export.

If you do this, will you become a leader?

But then I thought about it, if I don’t do this thing myself, others won’t do it?

It’s better to have it in your own hands than in someone else’s hands!

Robert looked at Zhao Hong with great anticipation. He has been managing MGM for several years now and is no longer the newcomer who was a little overwhelmed when he first started.

The company has developed well in the past few years. Apart from his own abilities, most of it is his boss who is strategizing about it. While this impressed him, at the same time, the thought of not admitting defeat also lingered in his mind.

I want to do something that will impress my boss.

Marvel was a company that he had already inspected, and he believed that the acquisition of this company would be a great complement to his current company.

In his expectation, Zhao Hong said slowly: "Okay, but you have to be cautious and develop it reasonably. This thing will have a huge impact on other original creations."

When Robert heard Zhao Hong's voice of agreement, he felt like the sound of nature!

Therefore, he nodded vigorously to whatever Zhao Hong said next, indicating that he would definitely implement what he wanted.

"Oh, how much cash does the company have now?"

Zhao Hong thought that the company was going to acquire Marvel, so she wanted to know something about the company.

When Robert heard his boss say this, he said with a smile on his face: "BOSS, since our company had no debt from the beginning, the profits made by our company have not been touched in the past four years except for company upgrades.

, so almost a billion dollars.”

"It is more than enough to acquire Marvel. I estimate that Marvel is worth US$340 million. By then we can immediately start filming two major Marvel productions."

Zhao Hong was relieved when he heard this. The company had already made back its cost, which made him feel very comfortable. This investment had really made a lot of money.

It's ten times or even dozens of times the profit.

Currently, gambling tycoon Kirk Kerkorian may have fainted in the bathroom crying. As a gambling king in Las Vegas, he doesn’t know how much water he has to pump to make so much money.

I hope I won't be able to do it for the rest of my life.

But he never knows what the company will be like after it is in his hands, and he can never imagine that it will be as glorious as it is now!

What Zhao Hong did was actually saving a giant that was about to lose, United Artists.

Kirk Kerkorian is simply the sinner of these two companies. He does not think about good development, but only thinks about drawing blood. He is really a troublemaker.

Zhao Hong and Robert chatted for a long time, and MGM was about to go public. This was his feeling.

In the United States, such a large media group is not allowed to be privatized for too long. This industry is different from other industries in that it has always been in the spotlight and has received considerable attention from the government.

Besides, this is a pie-sharing world. MGM has always been very profitable, and many people want a piece of the cake. If this channel is blocked, there is no guarantee that they will not resort to evil ways.

For example, they put forward a slogan, Hollywood is the Hollywood of the American people, called for a boycott of all DreamWorks products, etc.

There is nothing you can't think of and nothing you can't do.

At that time, no matter how bad excuses you make, you can make excuses.

In addition, the company's management also wants to enjoy the fruits of the company's development. More or less, when it goes public, they will all get a certain amount of shares, and everyone can benefit from it.

If Zhao Hong forcibly interrupts this process, the company will be easily affected.

Besides, there are many benefits to going public. With more shareholders, the company's influence will expand rapidly, and it will not be easy for someone to deal with MGM.

"The company is going to be listed. We just have to wait for the matter at United Artists to be settled. DreamWorks over there is going to withdraw its shares. We still have a large number of shares in our hands, so it will take more than a year to handle it. As for the

MGM will go public in two years."

"During this period, you have to manage the company well. When the time comes, I will give you a certain amount of original shares according to the merit. If Meyer can have it, you will also have it!"

"Don't worry! Boss, I will manage the company well. When the time comes, our company will definitely reach a higher level."

Robert was fascinated by the picture painted by Zhao Hong, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

He works hard just to double his worth!

Here at MGM, not only can he realize his life ambitions, but he can also become a billionaire. This kind of good thing is really hard to find.

You must know that the original eight giants in Hollywood have all matured. As a professional manager, it is really difficult to obtain shares in the company's development process.

Only in delisted companies like MGM and United Artists, created by DreamWorks, can the management have the opportunity to get rich along with them.

This is also the reason why the development of MGM has been very cute in the past few years, because everyone is ambitious and wants to be rewarded with certain shares as employees with outstanding performance when it goes public. By then, they will become millionaires or billionaires.

Being a millionaire is not a dream.

When Zhao Hong saw Robert's happy look, she felt emotional in her heart, it was the benefits that moved people the most!

This young man in his thirties was still trembling when Zhao Hong first asked him to be CEO, but now he looks confident and high-spirited.

And I can vaguely see some ambition in my eyes.

Don't be afraid if someone is ambitious, just be afraid of someone who has no ambition.

Zhao Hong doesn't care about this situation. DreamWorks currently has hundreds of thousands of employees. Not too many are ambitious, but they all make money for the company honestly.

They will not change jobs, mainly because this platform is too big to accommodate their ambitions.

In addition to meeting Meyer and Robert, Zhao Hong also had a good chat with Liang Botao.

Investments in Europe and the United States are mainly handled by Liang Botao, so Zhao Hong is not very clear about many places. This time he finally came here, and he stayed at the headquarters of the American branch for a few days.

Study it carefully every day and understand the investment situation in this area in detail.

Generally speaking, they are good, but there are still some examples of investment failure, and there are also some sunset industries that the company has already invested in.

Under Zhao Hong's instructions, these investments were abandoned one after another.

It can be said that during the five days that Zhao Hong stayed here, many companies in the United States experienced an avalanche. Many companies that were already going bankrupt were facing bankruptcy after the DreamWorks Investment Company withdrew its capital. There was no other way out.

Walk.

In this way, the loss was stopped in time, and the company directly got back more than 100 million US dollars.

Zhao Hong's casual move directly shocked Liang Botao, which made him lose a lot of his troubled thoughts in the past few years.

The uncle is still your uncle!

Zhao Hong stayed here for half a month, mainly because she couldn't stop once she got involved in many things, and she felt uncomfortable if she ignored many things.

Also, Sophie is a very lovable girl.

During this period of time in the United States, she was always by Zhao Hong's side, coming whenever he called.

Attentive service, always obedient.

It’s really a bit lingering.

Of course, during this period, Zhao Hong went to the University of Southern California again, which made Feihong very happy.

"Hong, are you really going back? I still have a lot of moves that I haven't used yet!"

Sophie looked at Zhao Hong with charming eyes, her body wrapped around someone like a beautiful snake.

The exhalation is like orchid, and there are bursts of fragrance, which really makes people drunk and reluctant to wake up.
