From the 13th to the 19th, Jiang Yan has been dealing with theater matters with Lao Fan.
At the beginning of the 21st century, many industries in the United States ushered in a wave of bankruptcy.
Among them, theater chains are also affected.
But if you really want to say it, the impact is actually not very big, especially for large theater chains.
It was even more difficult for small theater chains. A wave of store closings followed one after another, and many small theater chains soon faced bankruptcy.
This will allow the sea of stars to take advantage of it.
The three theater chains mentioned before actually face one problem, and that is debt.
And only a small part of these liabilities are due to poor management, most of which are due to excessive expansion and investment losses.
Coincidentally, the three bosses all lost money when investing in the Internet, so for Jiang Yan, the burst of the Internet bubble was really a loss for him.
Money issues are not an issue.
The Internet bubble burst recently, and the Nasdaq fell 25% in one month. It has been more than three months now, and it has fallen almost 40%.
Jiang Yan's 800 million U.S. dollars in short selling, coupled with leverage, has now exceeded 2 billion.
To be honest, is finance really making huge profits?
However, there won’t be too many short-term and quick opportunities like this in the future, so for “small goals”, the best times have passed, and Jiang Yan misses it very much.
Of course, there will still be opportunities to make huge profits in the financial market in the future. For example, wait until next year and the year after that, and then use part of the funds to buy various stocks at the bottom, such as domestic Moutai, Vanke and overseas Amazon, Microsoft, etc.
Then after five or ten years of waiting, there will be another big wave of Mane.
But now, so much money has to be spent.
So it’s just a debt of tens of thousands to tens of thousands, a small problem!
In the end, Jiang Yan spent US$82 million to acquire all the positive and negative assets of the three theater chains.
The license plate will be officially changed on June 25th.
Some of the people responsible for taking over the project are old employees of the theater company, and the rest are more than 20 employees who came from Xingchenhai. They will study here for half a year to a year, and then some will return to China to establish domestic theater chains.
I will follow Lao Fan and start to spread out around the world.
After signing, Lao Fan and several senior executives who came from Xingchenhaihai were very excited, but Jiang Yan's heart was calm.
How many theaters did the United States have in 2000? The answer is more than 7,000.
It’s a scary number, and when it comes to North American theaters, Maple Leaf Country must be among them, so this number will only be higher, not lower.
So Jiang Yan’s current 156 companies are really the kind that even the waves can’t stir up.
Besides, Jiang Yan's original mission was to treat this place as a novice village, and he was using it to lose money.
So is he excited? No, he is more just looking forward to it, hoping that everyone can learn from the experience.
Of course, he still wanted to pick up the good ones, so he said to everyone: "This is a small step in the sea of stars. How far you can go in the future depends on you!"
"clear!"
Everyone responded in unison, full of fighting spirit.
On the 19th, after settling the theater issues, Jiang Yan had to watch the game. Tonight is the sixth game of the finals, and the winner is about to be announced.
At four o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yan and Kobe made an appointment to meet at the training hall, and Dayao was also present.
"Hey Burou, are you okay?"
The two hugged each other, and Jiang Yan looked at Kobe's ankle and expressed concern.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Kobe raised his eyebrows, but started to complain the next second.
"Some people in this alliance are really insidious..."
In the second game of the Finals, Kobe was injured by a stepping on his foot. The opponent obviously did it on purpose, but Kobe didn't say anything. It wasn't until he saw Jiang Yan that Kobe opened up a conversation that had been sealed for a long time.
Balabaladi and Jiang Yan complained about various injustices in the alliance.
Jiang Yan also translated for Dayao in real time.
In fact, Dayao has seen a lot of this kind of thing on the court, so apart from letting him know that the NBA is also like this, Kobe's statement didn't seem to mean anything else.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, looked at Dayao and then at Kobe, thinking of what would happen to the two of them in the original time and space in the future, he couldn't help but feel that it was fate.
So in order to avoid that situation from happening, you two should be teammates from now on...
After chatting, the two began to have a moderate confrontation.
The two chatted while playing, with Dayao occasionally helping out.
During the interval, Kobe said: "I know about you and the female singer, so I forgive you for not coming to the first two games!"
"Oh, you're talking about Christina, I don't care." Jiang Yan waved his hand.
"It's okay, just tell her. I can't stand her either."
Kobe shook his head and complained, "Who does she think she is? She looks like she is very familiar with us..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan laughed. Jiang Yan translated it to Dayao, and Dayao laughed directly with an emoticon.
In the fifth game, Christina was at the home court of the Pacers and said that the Lakers will definitely win the championship and Kobe will beat you, just wait and see!
Such wild talk is actually understandable in theory. In the fourth game, Kobe returned from injury and scored 20 points in the last quarter to kill the game.
As a result, everyone's attention to Kobe skyrocketed like a rocket.
In fact, Kobe is not very well-known these days, because he does not have any heavyweight honors, and he is not the boss in the team. The boss is Shaquille O'Neal.
In the fourth game, Kobe played bravely, which made some people who don't know much about football think that Kobe is the real core of the Lakers!
So, Christina, who didn't know much about football, was crazy about Kobe Bryant.
A large part of the reason is naturally to give myself some blessings.
However, this has caused some problems in the friendship between the team's boss O'Neal and Kobe. After all, Christina is beautiful and has a good figure. Do you like him or me?
But O'Neal actually didn't have much idea. The game was the most important thing, and Kobe had the same idea.
But the pedestrians on the other side couldn't stand it.
Woman, this is our home court, you are too arrogant!
So in the fifth game, a bunch of people from the Pacers stared at Kobe as if they were in a panic.
Kobe Bryant was also in extremely bad shape that day. He made 4 of 20 shots in the game, went crazy, and only scored 8 points in the end, which was a disaster.
In the end, the Lakers lost the game by a big score.
After the game, Kobe became famous again because of a woman.
In fact, except for him, everyone else on the team was in bad shape, but that woman's breasts were too ferocious for Kobe, so the media all focused on Kobe.
And that Christina ran away before the game was over, which made it difficult for Kobe to explain.
So it became what it is now.
Newspapers outside were flying all over the place, saying that "Kobe Bryant has cancer", "Kobe Bryant is an undercover agent" and so on.
The public opinion was very noisy, but it did not have a great impact on the Lakers. Naturally, Kobe would not be greatly affected, he just felt sick.
"Unfortunately, if you had shown up in the last game, I might have been holding the trophy by now." Kobe said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm here tonight."
"Every time you come, we will win, and I hope it will be the same this time."
"Then you have to fight hard, otherwise my image as a super lucky star will be shattered, and I will seek compensation from you."
"Hahaha, one dollar is enough."
"It's too much, I'll give you two cents for it."
"Ha ha..."
The two laughed and continued training.
When it was over, Kobe said to Jiang Yan with a happy look on his face, "No, if I can win the championship, I'm going to propose to Vanessa."
"How about putting it on July 1st? You two come to watch my movie. I also have a theater in Los Angeles. I will free up the venue for you to propose!"
"That's a good idea, thanks brother!"
"It's a joke, okay, relax and win the championship tonight!"
"Just keep an eye on it!"
After the two of them finished chatting and laughing, Jiang Yan left.
That night, the finals kicked off.
Jay Clen and others, Dayao, Li Binbin and Quentin, the main creators of "Kill Bill", Liu Qianqian's mother and daughter and others attended the event one after another.
After sitting down, I looked at the grand occasion of the finals and the celebrities from all walks of life under the camera.
The camera lingers, and the commentary delivers words of ridicule or praise one by one.
Then the audience also cheered enthusiastically.
This made Jaylen, Li Binbin and others unanimously lament that Lao Mei’s entertainment is really good.
What’s more, it would be great if I could be looked at by such a lens!
Just thinking about it.
At this time, the camera focused on the commentary box.
There are three people in the commentary box, two regular commentators, and Jiang Yan, who is new here today.
When they saw Jiang Yan, many Lakers fans at the scene had already started cheering.
They know that every time Jiang Yan comes, the Lakers will definitely win.
Moreover, Jiang Yan originally came to sing in the last game, but was robbed of the opportunity by Bitchi, so the Lakers lost.
It's a bit of crooked logic, but that's what many people think. Jiang Yan is his lucky star.
When Jiang Yan finally appeared on the scene, the cheers became more and more intense.
Many people stood up and shouted: Joey, say something!
The commentator also understood the audience very well and asked directly: "Joey, what do you think of today's game?"
"The Lakers have gone through a lot of hardships this season, O'Neal's injury, Kobe's injury, and Big Zhi's injury..."
Jiang Yan talked about the difficulties of the Lakers this season one by one.
As the audience listened, many people's hearts seemed to slowly begin to sink.
Should Joey say that...
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Yan paused and changed his tone:
"But so what, the championship is tonight!"
Suddenly, the scene erupted into the loudest cheers so far.
At the same time, the lights dimmed and exciting music began to play.
