I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Chapter 820 Thirty-Six Strategies

Is that how Paramount plans to sell itself?

When the news came back from executive producer Mary Parente, everyone at MGM was stunned.

Even Carl Icahn, who is still lying in the hospital.

He always knew that his investment in MGM was a mistake, a shameful and humane failure among many achievements.

But he didn't expect that he would be stuck here for so long.

Ten years.

As a wolf of Wall Street who is good at short-term harvesting, this is almost his longest-lasting business.

It's just that I didn't expect it to end badly in the end.

Therefore, he acquiesced and supported Gary Barber's move to put down his body and surrender to Huaxia Capital, and also dismissed Roger Birnbaum, another co-chief executive who opposed the sale of MGM.

Moreover, Carl Icahn also used his contacts to give the green light to MGM's acquisition.

Such a cross-border acquisition requires the support of Zheng Ce from both sides.

Many industries are not something you can buy if you want to.

Fortunately, Carl Icahn is a supporter of the winning side of the election and has spent millions of dollars supporting the incumbent.

And the incumbent is a good friend.

Old age and injuries have made this greedy and cruel old man lose his spirit.

He just wants to get out of it all and go to Amsterdam for the upcoming summer.

In autumn, you can still pick up a shotgun and go hunting.

Los Angeles is such a horrible place, hot, bad traffic, kids like to ride bicycles on rampage, even old men.

Under the almost humble request of MGM, this Huaxia Capital finally gave up Paramount and turned around to acquire MGM.

Paramount: *(*\u0026convex(｀0)convex(\u0026￥@!￥%

In this case, MGM really can't sell at a high price.

According to the valuation of MGM by the general market, it is about 7 billion US dollars. If the capital is rich and the MGM is more reserved, 75~85 is not impossible.

But the price of 6.2 billion US dollars still makes many people feel incredible.

The delivery was very fast, because the other party used cash and did not borrow a dime from the bank.

In mid-March 2017, a big event happened in Huaxia's entertainment circle and Internet industry.

Jack Ma posted a movie poster on his personal Weibo, accompanied by the six words that night, that dream with a lot of meaning, confirming the previous rumors that he is starring in a certain movie.

On March 13, 2017, Ahri Films released the ultimate poster of the movie Gong Shou Dao.

It even broke out that Jack Ma and the princess sang together, which is simply inhumane.

Netizens are talking about it.

Wow, dad is making his debut.

The mainstream media also rushed to report. Of course, the content of the report could not be that Jack Ma was rich and willful, and he found a group of kung fu stars to perform with him.

It is to promote traditional martial arts and traditional culture.

From the perspective of economics and public relations, professionals analyze how worthwhile Papa Jack Ma's money is spent.

What a successful marketing campaign.

But ordinary people don't care about that.

What everyone marvels at is how much power money has. It's no joke that money can turn ghosts around.

There are so many stars, everyone usually thinks how tall they are.

But in front of the capital, what they show is just a symbol.

It's better to play Jason Stallone together in the sequel.

On March 14, 2017, Kleist announced on its official website that it had completed the acquisition and delivery of MGM Films.

Water?

Just kidding.

Tomorrow is 315, just to call your leave.

Everyone hurriedly went to MGM's official website to check, only to find that there was nothing there.

The news on Miguo's side did not report any of this.

Only the official Kleist website has such information.

Well, the official website may be hacked.

Lin Dong's cell phone was almost blown up, and all the people he knew were looking for confirmation.

He simply turned off the phone and asked Concubine Han to hold a press conference.

That afternoon, a press conference was held, Concubine Han appeared in front of the media with a few crooked nuts, and the reporters who rushed to make up lessons today could tell at a glance that these crooked nuts were MGM top management.

it is true!

Nana's, how the secrecy work is done, there is no news at all.

Then, when exactly did they start the acquisition?

Last year at least.

It took more than seven months for Yida to acquire Legendary Pictures.

Hi everyone, I'm the general manager of Kleist Miaoshe, Concubine Han, Chief Strategy Officer of the Group Strategy Department, and now I can ask questions. Concubine Han sat in the C position, as usual, expressionless.

Excuse me, your company announced that it has completed the acquisition of MGM Films. Is it the MGM in Hollywood? Is it a complete acquisition?

The reporters who have grabbed the right to ask questions can't wait to ask all the questions.

Yes. Concubine Han said concisely.

It means that all the questions you asked are true.

The reporters were confused for a while, but their good professionalism made them react quickly.

Excuse me, when did this acquisition happen, and what is the approximate price of the acquisition? The reporter continued to ask.

It's inconvenient to disclose the purchase price of what happened recently. Concubine Han said nothing.

How could this satisfy the curiosity of the reporters.

But everyone can't help it. Renjiamao Factory is not a listed company, so it has no obligation to disclose its financial affairs.

How does Cat Factory plan to run MGM?

This is Gary Barber, who was the former co-chief executive officer of MGM, and will be the CEO of MGM in the future. This is Mary Parent, who will continue to serve as the company's chief executive producer. MGM will operate independently under the leadership of these two. Concubine Han took the opportunity to introduce the two defectors.

Instead of sending people who are not very familiar with the business here, those who are not familiar with the place are bullied.

It's better to use these two first.

Mary Parente has good business ability and is very self-motivated.

She served as the producer of the Pacific Rim series and The Revenant and many other works.

And Gary Barber is no stranger either.

Since 1989, he has served as a producer of about 22 films, including well-known works such as RoboCop, Special Forces: Total Counterattack, Wanted, Fake God, Memoirs of a Geisha.

More importantly, he has extensive contacts in Hollywood and can easily help new companies get through all aspects.

At least, if the new company says what director or actor to hire for the film, as long as Gary Barber stands here, no one will worry about being put in a sack and sold to Huaxia.

Such two people, as long as they work hard and give them enough money, it's not difficult to toss something out.

Of course, in some departments, the cat factory will still send trustworthy people to sit in charge.
