Extraordinary Genius

“You mean George? Instead of selling shares in the grinding industry alone, does Lucas intend to sell shares in Lucas Film Industry?” Feng Yu feels very surprised. This Lucas Film Industry, George? Founded by Lucas himself, although not many movie and television copyrights are in hand, it's worth a lot with Star Wars, the Ace IP.

Masao Tortada said at this time: "Boss, I don't think it's strange. Lucas invested more than 90 percent of his film revenues over the years in the grinding industry, which created the film effect technology that stood out in the grinding industry. And the grinding industry is the most profitable company under Lucas Films. ”

“If we take control of the grinding industry, which is equivalent to losing control of the best business in Lucas, Lucas may begin to lose money. ”

“Now that we have the momentum we need, Lucasmo might as well sell the whole package to us, which is better than the future downfall of Lucas Film Industry, just like the old Mei Gao Mei. ”

Feng Yu frowned. Is that true? If that's the case, Lucas can't sell it. With the Ace of Grinding Industries in hand, Lucas Films can continue to stand in Hollywood.

Ralph openly explained: "Boss, I don't think that's surprising, don't look at Lucas' family, but they don't have much cash in the Lucas film industry, and Lucas just had the idea of filming Star Wars as a TV show, and it's said that the script was finished, but nobody invested. ”

“Lucas himself doesn't have the money to invest in a TV show?” Feng Yu couldn't believe that Lucas' family had $23 billion, even if he went to lend, he could still get enough money.

Even if Lucas wanted to shoot a Star Wars TV, he couldn't film it all like a movie, could he? So a long television is definitely not a small investment, perhaps higher than S.H.I.E.L.D. 's.

No, with Lucas' constant leaning, this production cost is definitely higher than S.H.I.E.L.D.

“Strangely, Lucas is a person who doesn't like to borrow money, his company, Lucas Film Industry, including all of its subsidiaries below, has no debt whatsoever. I really don't know what people in his company think, in the name of Lucas, or in the strength of their company, it's actually easy to borrow money. ”

“And Lucas doesn't invest in finance, he doesn't invest in other popular investment industries such as real estate, he focuses on making movies and their related industries. From that point of view, he's a movie fan. And every year he comes up with a sum of money for charity, and his life is not extravagant. ”

“He wrote fifty episodes of television screenplay, but the budget for each episode, amounting to $20 million, was also the result of his desperate compression. ”

Feng Yu, open your eyes, what the hell, shoot a TV, billions of dollars? Who the fuck invested in you?

Feng Yu will not invest anyway, he is not a senior Star Wars fan. Even if he does, he will not invest. This will definitely not recover the cost. This episode of TV drama is more expensive than some movie investments, there is no way to make money!

Feng Yu remembered that S.H.I.E.L.D. 's production cost was $80 million a season, and the special effects were all spoiled, and the scenes were not compact enough, the scenes were not hot enough, and so on.

The production cost of one episode was less than $4 million, including all the costs, and caught up with Marvel movie fever and fans skyrocketing. How can you make money with this episode that costs four times as much?

If the production cost of an episode could be compressed to $5 million, Feng Yu would also consider investing. After all, TV broadcasts are longer, and there should be reproduction rights, CD-ROM sales rights, etc., which should also protect the principal. If it drives the industry around Star Wars, it may make money.

But even if it took two or three years to invest $250 million and then make $25 million in the book, it would still be a loss to get rid of inflation.

Televisions can be difficult to make more money than movies unless they are able to make multiple channels of a television drama play simultaneously, but in that case, the first broadcast rights may not be available for sale.

“Is that why he's investing? Would you rather sell your shares of the company than go to a bank loan?” Masahiro Tortoise feels incredible. Although the interest on the loan is high, the loan is more of a choice than selling the shares of the company he founded on his own?

But given Ralph's higher offer to Lucas, perhaps that moved him.

“So how are they going to sell Lucas Film?” Feng Yu asked.

“At this point in time, after our assessment, the Lucas Film Industry is worth about $2.6 billion, and if we want to become a major controlling shareholder, we will spend at least $1.8 billion to buy 67 percent of Lucas Film's shares at a premium.” Ralph the Colorful.

At the same time, Ralph was a little hesitant, and the money, the Windstorm Holding Group could certainly get it out, but with so much investment, how much profit should it make?

For example, it's also an investment of $1.8 billion, one business can make back $1.8 billion in three years, and the other business can make back $1 billion in three years. Although they're all making money, it feels like they're losing $800 million in comparison.

It's another $1.8 billion, this time Feng Yu also feels like he's playing big, so to stop the expansion of Sony Film Industry, so he bought Mei Gao Mei, then bought the cinema line, and then thought about entering Vita Digital. Now if he spends at least $1.8 billion to buy shares in Lucas Film Industry, this time to stop Sony from expanding, the real investment could be more than $10 billion!

This is not yet counted. Feng Yu's favorite Marvel entertainment will be even more exaggerated if this company is counted.

“Boss, let's forget it, we're in. In the name of our wind and rain holding group, even participation in shares can have a great say.” Masahiro Tortoise suggested.

“No, since he gave us the chance to hold it, then hold it. $1.8 billion? Yeah, I got it! ”

Through this $1.8 billion, it controlled the Lucas film industry, and indirectly the grinding industry, which is sure to make money.

“What about Marvel Entertainment? Are we still buying? Vita Digital, are we still buying?” Masao Tortoise asked seriously.

“Continue to acquire and scale us up. Then we merge it together, we form the Windstorm Entertainment Group, we merge the Windstorm Games, we merge them into this group of companies, we acquire several influential TV stations, we merge them into an entertainment group! ”
