The Motherland Comes to the United States

Chapter 79

"You are awesome!"

Bai Ye directly gave Johnny a thumbs up.

Nothing to say.

Johnny, this is pure whoring.

It is estimated that apart from spending money on washing feet, I have never spent money on women.

Well, in fact, when Bai Ye had no money in his previous life, he did the same thing, because he didn't have enough money to spend, so where could he find extra money to raise a girl?

Taking a step back, even if I have extra money, wouldn’t it be nice for me to wash my feet once instead of filling it in an unfathomable bottomless pit?
If you are rich, you will have wives and concubines in groups, but if you are poor, you will be alone.

"How is your sister now? Is she still working under that idiot Victor Doom?"

Bai Ye asked casually.

"Yeah." Johnny shrugged and said, "But although Victor Doom is indeed a bit of a fool, he is also quite rich. The market value of the Doom Group is 20 billion U.S. dollars! But my sister also I don't know what she thinks, and she is also inseparable from Victor Doom, and she has no sense of CP at all."

"I guess your sister is still thinking about that guy Reed."

Bai Ye sighed:
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy that Reid gave to Miss Ni. It really must be him."

In fact, Bai Ye also pursued Johnny's sister, Susan Storm, but she is not a girl who likes money. After inquiring a little about Bai Ye's romantic deeds, she shunned Bai Ye from then on, and even asked her younger brother Johnny to leave. White night farther away.

Bai Ye was also helpless.

This is the reason why he doesn't like being famous and lives in the spotlight. Many high-quality and excellent girls avoid him when they hear his name, and they don't show Bai Ye his personal strengths at all.

If he had the opportunity to use his strengths, it is estimated that there would be very few women who would not be conquered by him. The nickname of 'Lao Ai of Qin State, Russian Monk' is not self-proclaimed by Bai Ye.

"Hey, I'm also very embarrassed to meet such a love-brained sister." Johnny sighed deeply: "That guy Reid is indeed very intelligent and capable, but... this guy's EQ Zero! Over the years, Reed hasn’t earned much money, but owes a whole lot of debt. If my sister follows him, she will probably have to follow him to pay off the debt for the rest of her life.”

Johnny's sister, Susan Storm is really beautiful, it can be regarded as the Knox plus version, plus Johnny and Susan's family is not ordinary, with high temperament, and she is also an excellent graduate of the Ivy League school , so Susan Storm wanted to find a rich man to be her boyfriend, it was really a breeze.

If this is the case, Johnny can also enjoy the glory and be a serious playboy, and if Susan Storm marries Reed Richards, then Johnny feels that it is a good thing that he will not be dragged down in the future .

"You, look for an opportunity to persuade your sister. It's time to change your mind." Bai Ye said: "The era of affectionate drinking water and ruthless golden houses is over. Now it's not the same as before. Poor and lowly couples mourn everything. Not to mention Reed How much money can I make, but I can’t ask Susan to help repay the loan.”

"My sister's brains, if you listen to persuasion, it will be my turn to persuade you?"

Johnny shook his head.

"Hey, stop talking, I'll wait for your people to come."

Bai Ye saw Ikana walking into the banquet, patted Johnny on the shoulder, and hurriedly walked towards Ikana.

"Bai Ye, the bastard girl, is becoming more and more high-end."

Johnny glanced at Ikana, enviously said:
"If I have money in my family, I will play like this too!"

Yachts, sports cars and socialites, this kind of life is too enviable...

"Ikana!"

Bai Ye reached out to let Ikana quickly see him.

Ikana saw Bai Ye as expected, and walked towards Bai Ye with a faint smile.

"it's beautiful!"

Bai Ye and Ikana hugged and praised.

Ikana wore a pink dress with wide shoulders and suspenders tonight. The skirt was also printed with a cherry pattern, which gave people a sweet and cute feeling.Moreover, the upper part of this skirt adopts an elastic design, which perfectly outlines her sexy figure, and the whole person is full of sweetness and enchantment at the same time.

"What were you talking to that little playboy just now?" Ikana glanced at Johnny and said, "Isn't it just another way of talking about sex?"

"How is it possible!" Bai Ye said, "Johnny just told me that his sister, Susan Storm, is too stupid to be infatuated with an honest person who owes hundreds of millions of dollars. I also feel that now There are still women like this in society? It's strange!"

"What?" Ikana looked at Bai Ye with a smile: "Do you like this kind of woman?"

"No way! I only have you in my heart!" Bai Ye felt bad, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Ikana, do you think girls are really so materialistic now?"

"Well..." Ikana thought about it seriously, and said, "For things like money, just try your best. I don't want you to be too tired. If I suffer with you, I have hands and feet, and I can run by myself."

white night:"……"

Well, this is indeed something Ikana can do.

"Stop making trouble, and get down to business." Bai Ye said, "You are taking over the CEO position of my film company, right?"

"What do you think?" Ikana gave Bai Ye a good-looking look: "I've been busy researching Summit Entertainment for the past two days."

"Really?" Bai Ye became interested. It seems that Ikana is very active in this job. Well, he likes women who can take the initiative by themselves: "Let's talk about it, your two-day research has produced a lot of results." What was the result?"

Ikana: "The valuation of Summit Entertainment is about 3 million U.S. dollars. There are three founder shareholders, Patrick Wattsberg, Bob Hayward and David Garrett. The equity structure is simple, and the three Shareholders are not very attached to controlling the company, and with the aura of the Osborne family on your head, it should not be difficult to control Summit Entertainment and gain control, but..."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, is there anything wrong?
Ikana continued: "These three shareholders are also very shrewd businessmen. Seeing that the eldest son of the Osborne family is preparing to enter the market, there is a high probability that they will not choose to sell all the company's shares at once, but I want to keep some of it."

"Impossible!" Bai Ye flatly refused: "I'm very possessive, but I'm not interested in sharing anything with others. For Summit Entertainment, I either buy it or give it up. There are so many Hollywood film companies, I still have to Summit Entertainment is gone?"

"Then you have to accept a certain premium for acquisition."

Ikana advised:
"Actually, there is no need to be obsessed with complete control. Control is the most important thing."

"A premium is a premium. The most important thing I need now is cash."

Bai Ye shook his head and rejected Ikana's proposal.

"Well, if you have money, I'll listen to you." Ikana smiled helplessly, and said, "The current CEO of Summit Entertainment, Robert Ferrer Lehman, was originally the CEO of the six major Paramounts in Hollywood. The three shareholders of Summit Entertainment have just poached to Summit Entertainment not long ago, this person is a high-level talent, after the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, I think he can retain his position."

"Okay, these small things are up to you." Bai Ye said indifferently: "In short, I will establish a Mercury Media, injecting 10 billion US dollars, in addition to the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, the rest will acquire other good ones. Small and medium-sized film companies, all the power is in your hands, I only have one request for you, you must not cause huge losses to Mercury Media, and it is best to make a profit as soon as possible."

"Bai Ye..." Ikana stared at him dumbfounded: "Are you serious? Just registered a media company and injected 10 billion US dollars? I always thought that the 10 billion US dollars you mentioned was the same as most corporate propaganda In the end, it would be good to be able to implement half of it. It is to acquire Summit Entertainment for US$3 million, and then use Summit Entertainment as the tentacles to slowly develop and grow in Hollywood, but you..."

Well, Ikana can't punish Bai Ye for his overly talented and rough behavior.

"The way you said, how long will it take to dominate Hollywood? It's too slow." Bai Ye said: "If you don't do things, you must do your best. Mercury Entertainment, which invested 10 billion US dollars, It's just the beginning, and I will continue to inject capital depending on the situation, and I plan to acquire a Hollywood Big Six within two years!"

"Hollywood Six..."

Ikana doesn't know what to say, a billionaire, even Norman Osborn, can't just buy it, right?

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Bai Ye saw the hesitation in Ikana's eyes, smiled, and said, "When you notice the scale of my Galaxy Capital's bank acquisition, you probably will No doubt about my strength."

Well, after the last banquet of the Hearst family, Bai Ye had contact with David Solomon, the co-head of the investment banking department of Goldman Sachs, and entrusted part of Galaxy Capital's bank acquisition to Goldman Sachs to help with the acquisition.

With the help of the professional Goldman Sachs, the acquisition of banks is extremely convenient, because Goldman Sachs can always catch the painful feet of banks such as tax evasion and illegal operations, and then crazily lower the price, so that although there is an extra intermediary Goldman Sachs , Galaxy Capital spends less, of course, Goldman Sachs can also earn a huge commission from it.

"I don't understand, why do you suddenly seem to be richer than your father?"

Ikana looked at Bai Ye inexplicably.

"Maybe it's because I have a talent in the financial field. I haven't been exposed to it before, but now that I have been exposed to it, I developed it all at once."

Bai Ye shrugged and said.

Well, the so-called financial talent is too hard-core, that is, blowing up other people's factories and landmark buildings, massacring drug lords and robbing, etc., it is indeed a financial talent, short selling and money laundering, isn't it a financial talent?
Hard core finance is also finance.

As for relying on a super brain, you can casually make money in the stock market... I'm thinking too much.

The giant of human science, Newton, is listed with Einstein as the most important scientist in the history of science. It is said that his IQ is as high as 190. He has made great achievements in mathematics, physics, astronomy, etc. He is a genius and an all-rounder. But even Newton did not escape the fate of being cut leeks in the stock market.

In 1720, the "South Sea Bubble" incident occurred. Due to the emergence of information fraud, commercial bribery, political and business collusion, insider trading, and crazy cash out, Newton changed from an old scientist to a fresh green leek, and went bankrupt. , I almost lost my panties.

Afterwards, Newton said: "I can calculate the trajectory of celestial bodies, but I can't calculate the complexity of human nature."

The stock market is not a game of wisdom, but a game of human nature. In addition to Newton, there are many bigwigs with super high IQ who also went bankrupt because of stock trading: Marx, in 1864, went bankrupt in stock trading, and became a philosopher; Keynes, in 1920 In 1929, Churchill went bankrupt in stocks and changed his career to become prime minister...

"Bai Ye, can you see if I have the talent to do finance?" Ikana looked at Bai Ye with piercing eyes: "I also want to make a lot of money in Wall Street."

Who wants to work hard in Hollywood when they can make money on Wall Street?

Bai Ye grinned and said, "Okay, come home with me tonight, and I'll check everything for you without any dead ends, to see if you have the talent to do finance."

Ikana: "..."

"Then forget it."

Ikana rolled her eyes.

She is not such a shameless woman as Paris Hilton.

Bai Ye curled her lips: "You didn't want this."

Of course, it is impossible for him to help Ikana develop financial talents, because he plays hardcore finance and can't teach Ikana anything at all, and his Mercury Media still needs a leader.

"Okay, let's not discuss financial matters, let's continue to talk about Mercury Media." Bai Ye said: "Summit Entertainment focuses on film development, financing, production and distribution, especially in global distribution. As a result, after the acquisition of this company, Mercury Media has no major weaknesses in movies, but Summit Entertainment is still too shallow and does not have enough film libraries, so after acquiring Summit Entertainment, your next goal is to target Hollywood Those small and medium-sized film companies with rich film library resources have acquired them to lay a solid foundation."

The film library, at first glance, always reminds people of dusty film archives, but in Hollywood, it means a steady stream of inexhaustible wealth.The films included in Hollywood’s film library often refer to films more than 7 years after their first release. At this time, the film has gone through a complete distribution process, from theaters, audio-visual products to TV broadcasts and overseas markets, etc., and completed the process of returning income. , from an accounting point of view, the film has also completed its "depreciation" cycle and can be thrown into storage.But in the eyes of shrewd Hollywood executives, with the development of new media technology and the expansion of the consumer market, film library resources can still be redeveloped and utilized to achieve new market value, especially for those classic films that have been widely popular with audiences In terms of.

Take Warner and Universal, two large studios with more than 5000 films in their library, for example, the library resources will generate $5 million in cash flow for them every year.Such cash flow can help major studios maintain the stability of their operations, and even turn the tide when the studio encounters a crisis.

Ikana nodded and said:

"Since I'm planning to work in Hollywood, it's absolutely impossible for me not to do my homework in advance. Of course I know that the film library is the soul of a film company. Of course I will pay attention to this matter."

"That's good."

Bai Ye said with a smile, it seems that the employment of Ikana is really not in vain, she has learned to move by herself.

"By the way, Bai Ye, I have something to discuss with you."

Ikana suddenly thought of something and said.

"what?"

Bai Ye took a sip of red wine.

"Aren't we going to acquire Summit Entertainment? While learning about Hollywood, I was also thinking about what kind of good project we can make after we enter Summit Entertainment." Ikana said: "I inadvertently, from the best-selling Among the book list, I found a novel, after a brief reading, I feel that it is especially suitable for adaptation into a movie, I think we can buy the right to adapt the film and use it as a movie appearance of Summit Entertainment."

Bai Ye frowned: "What novel?"

Ikana: "The Hunger Games."

Bai Ye looked at Ikana with a strange expression: "You really know how to choose."

"Why, you also value it?"

Ikana looked at Bai Ye in surprise.

"Well, the copyright has been bought back by me a long time ago."

Bai Ye nodded.

In fact, this book was written (copied) by Bai Ye, because after buying film companies such as Summit Entertainment, Bai Ye not only wants to develop his own media empire, but also wants to make Tangtang a Hollywood A cafe, a world-class star. .

"The Hunger Games" is a very successful commercial work. Lionsgate Films relied on "The Hunger Games" to get out of the debt dilemma and become one of the "Big Seven" in Hollywood.

Bai Ye remembers that the cost of "The Hunger Games" was 1.52 million US dollars, and the domestic box office revenue was 4.08 million US dollars. The overseas box office of the film was 2.86 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 6.96 million US dollars. 50%, overseas box office 30%, a total box office revenue of 2.9 million US dollars, after deducting costs, the profit is 1.4 million US dollars, but box office revenue is only a small part of Hollywood. Due to strict copyright awareness, copyright operations are the bulk of profits.

——For example, Li Lianjie’s movies in Hollywood seem to be losing money, but in fact they are not, because Hollywood has another source of income besides theater box office, which is disc income. The income of almost every disc is higher than the box office income, so Li Lianjie was able to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and his salary was increased to 1000 million US dollars in the later period.

In addition to being a commercial success, "The Hunger Games" is also one of the very few Hollywood movies with a major heroine. The plot revolves around the heroine, which is a good work suitable for Tangtang.

"I'm telling you..."

Bai Ye was talking to Ikana, and her eyes inadvertently caught a group of people coming in from the banquet door. Among them, a graceful and graceful girl, wearing a white evening dress, walked in with her father's arm. Ballroom.

Mariko Yashida!

One of Bai Ye's ex-girlfriends.

Because after being with Bai Ye, she really couldn't bear Bai Ye's flirtatious nature, and didn't even get a diploma from Harvard University halfway through her studies, so she transferred to leave the United States sadly, and returned to Japan.

And Mariko keenly noticed Bai Ye's gaze, and looked at Bai Ye, a pair of autumn water eyes filled with resentment, as if she could speak: Your conscience tells me that you don't love me the most, I am in a wind Very quiet night, back to Japan...
