Reborn Wealth America

The California United Petroleum is not in a hurry.

This kind of business involves billions of dollars to tens of billions of dollars.The normal negotiation process often takes several months.Negotiations on various contract details need to kill the brain cells of the world's most elite legal and accounting teams, which is countless.

These legal teams and accounting teams.The total number of the entire world is estimated to be less than that of the United States.

After all, this is a truly commercial country.In such a country, the role of accountants and lawyers is too great.It is too big to carry out large-scale business activities without these two occupations.

And often the two professions of accountants and lawyers overlap. A good lawyer is often also a good accountant.

This aspect.

As long as Abel is interesting, then California United Petroleum and the Chevron Oil Company behind them are interesting.

Things can go on.

For the rest of the task, people from Oasis Investment will naturally come forward and cooperate with those from California Union Petroleum and Chevron.

Just like those big directors too.If they are really willing to participate in the new Paramount's grand film plan, they express a wish in the early stage, and then their agent and their corresponding team will also need to come to negotiate with the new Paramount.

From the determination of the script, to the disclosure of the investment, to the signing of the final contract.This process is extremely long, even if both parties are sincere, it will take at least one month.

In addition, contracts are often extremely detailed. Who knows that even the ownership of a cup in the crew will be accurately described.

Currently.

More interesting, among the directors who may accept new Paramount investment, Cameron, the famous money-burning king, is one.

Although the truck driver made two movies with world box office records.But in the process of making these two films, almost every film overruns the budget more than five times.

The producer waited and stared at him so hard, to be honest, he didn't like this situation.But it was other people's money, and even the king of the world could do nothing.

Now there is a person who has money, and it seems that some people are stupid and have a lot of money, are willing to invest in him, and also say that he will not be stuck in his budget.

This is for Cameron.

It is really worthy of heart.

He already has a preliminary idea.After shooting the latest Avatar, maybe you can consider cooperating with New Paramount.

Then Spielberg.

The well-known Jewish director’s attitude was a bit vague, he did not directly say rejection, but he did not show the intention of cooperation like Cameron did.

This is also normal.

Compared with Cameron, Spielberg is also a fairly successful businessman.After the Great White Shark, he also made investments in various films he made, although only a small part.

His most well-known thing in business is nothing more than his original desire to challenge Hollywood giants and create DreamWorks movies.

Although it failed in the end.

But he used to have such ambitions, commercial ambitions.

In addition to Cameron and Spielberg, the rest of the big directors, except Wen Ziren, who clearly expressed their willingness to cooperate.Most of the other attitudes are similar to those of Cameron and Spielberg.

After all, to their level.

If you really want to make a movie, a lot of people and companies are willing to invite them with money.They have passed the stage of going everywhere with the script to beg for investment and investment.

Abel can give them.

In addition to the amazingly lucrative return, it is the same amazing amount of investment.High investment, for money-burning tycoons like Cameron, and for commercial filmmakers like Spielberg, will easily trigger their hearts.

But for some directors who are more literary and artistic, it is more difficult to touch.

Even a young director like Wen Ziren, who is eager to prove himself in his career and has a big investment, is of course willing to take over.

After all, among the movies he has taken over so far, in terms of investment scale... it seems that the DC superhero movie "Aquaman" has just been filmed recently and is entering the most important stage of publicity.

Time Warner's DC series, to be honest, except for a Wonder Woman, most of them are disappointing, and the box office is also disappointing.

Even the Justice League, which hopes to be able to come up against the Avengers, has basically been declared on the street.

The second sequel is nowhere in sight.

On the contrary, the Avengers series has been making a big hit at the world movie box office.

The petroleum industry is not in a hurry, and the grand film plan is gradually underway.

Next.

Abel is going to start the real purpose of this gathering.

On the evening of November 6, 2018, at about nine o'clock, the reception came to an end.

Abel took Alvertley and Rana to the front desk of the Golden Hall of the Central Hilton Hotel.

Just like at the press conference today, he used the microphone to attract everyone's attention.

In fact.

The attention of the crowd has always been on the young rich man.

Whether it's the guests, or those directors and stars with other purposes.

"Everyone..."

Abel tried the machine first.

Make sure that the sound is clear and audible, there is no noise, and the whole reception scene in the Golden Hall can be heard later.

He just continued.

"Happy times are always so short! It's time to say goodbye!"

"But before we say goodbye! It's the real highlight of our reception today!"

"In the back. Behind this golden hall, there are several lounges! New Paramount Pictures people are waiting for you in the lounge!"

"New Paramount's 20 films! A big film project with a total of more than 4 billion US dollars requires a lot of people behind the scenes and a lot of actors!"

"Everyone who is interested can ask about it. After the script is finalized, various castings will be issued! You can check the requirements for casting, if you can!"

"New Paramount is willing to cooperate with everyone here!"

"the above."

"This is the end of the reception!"

"I, Abel Sefrosa! On behalf of Oasis Investments and New Paramount, thank you for coming..."

"..."

This scene, like what happens every night in Los Angeles, is the end of high society gatherings.

…………

…………

Within half an hour after the reception.

In addition to New Paramount, the other six Hollywood and even the following Lionsgate Entertainment and other second- and third-tier film companies and other companies have basically come into contact with New Paramount’s 20 major movies, with a large investment of more than 4 billion US dollars. Some preliminary content of the plan.

These preliminary content.

It was originally provided to the directors and actors who participated in the reception, that is, the information that Abel asked the directors and actors to collect after the reception.

But these data.

It was quickly delivered to the desks of major film companies, as well as the presidents and senior management of major media companies.

This is normal.

New Paramount and Abel didn't even think about keeping it secret. They even commissioned the Los Angeles Times by the way. Some clues about this plan tomorrow will be sent directly to the audience in the newspaper.

Those high-ranking film companies.

It's just a dozen hours in advance, and I can see the contents of these plans.

Time Warner.

President Jeff Beeks looked at the a4 papers in front of him and began to examine them.

These A4 papers are the most common office papers, with simple words and so on. The group lists Abel Grand’s film universe project.

The content is not complicated.

Most of them just put forward an intention, a worldview setting.Then I hope those directors and screenwriters can write scripts that satisfy Paramount on the basis of these world views provided by New Paramount.

There are more than 30 different worldviews.There are fantasy magic, like a world like the Lord of the Rings; there are future technological worlds, such as robots; there are interstellar science fiction, like the Star Wars series; there are also superhero series, similar to DC and comics. Wei, only the original superhero is required; there are also normal plot series...

After reading these contents.

Jeff Beeks put down a few simple a4 papers in his hand, he rubbed his frowning brows and sighed.

next to.

One of Time Warner’s board members, one of the top managers, and the president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Toby Emmerich said softly:

"This plan is too... too whimsical! An astronomical amount of investment, a brain-opening setting! Although there are only 20 movies, the investment is only 4 billion US dollars..."

"But obviously. US$4 billion is not enough, if it is not discounted. The operating capital of these 20 movies alone, including flowers, must exceed US$6 billion!"

"Six billion dollars..."

Toby Emmerich's voice became low.

It's not that Time Warner can't come up with this amount of funds of $6 billion.It's just that if you really use 6 billion of funds to fight the new Paramount.It's okay to say if it succeeds, if it fails.Even a giant like Time Warner cannot bear the pain.

Jeff Beeks also understands this.

He understands better.

Whether it is Time Warner or the remaining media giants.No one can compare to the new Paramount in terms of cash flow!

because……

Time Warner has just prepared to borrow a huge interest-free mortgage from the young rich man!

Negotiations on interest-free mortgage loans have come to an end.After a while, you can formally sign a contract and obtain a sum of money that is absolutely living water for Time Warner.

When Time Warner has to borrow money from others, how can it rely on it to fight for more money and less money?

"Don't worry about them..."

Jeff Bix said to the president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, "It's not just our headaches. In Hollywood, except for those who make movies, there is probably no one who doesn't have a headache now!"

"Let's just observe."

Toby Emmerich, the president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, nodded silently.

new York.

News Corp.

News Building.

Like Redstone, he is also a man of the last century and a legendary media industry giant-Rupert Murdoch.

He was also looking at a few simple a4 papers in front of him.

The world newspaper tycoon, a well-known news and media operator in the United States, a major shareholder of News Corporation, chairman and chief executive officer.

Three 2 billion dollars.

More than 30 big movies with world views.

There is also the possibility of a big deal behind.

Let this tycoon, who is a few years younger than Redstone, said in a deep voice:

"What an aggressive young man..."

He sighed.

I can't help but start to miss my young and middle-aged era, the same kind of aggressiveness, waving banknotes, and buying all over the world.

Redstone and Murdoch are at the same level, among the media legends of the same century.

Murdoch, an Australian, is absolutely aggressive and the one who dares to burn the most.

This one is really hard-boiled, with a good ability to burn money with one hand.Let News Corp. burn from a small Australian company to the world’s largest multinational news corporation in terms of market capitalization.

Even among the current media giants, this News Corporation is still the most willing to spend money and the most daring to spend money.

For example, after 2010, to now 2018, this short period of eight years.He proposed three acquisition plans, wanting to acquire Time Warner, Viacom and Disney at the same level as News Corp...

Although they all failed in the end, I have to say that Murdoch really dares to think and do, and he really dares to spend money.

Now Abel, who also dared to spend money, mentioned the old man's curiosity.Before that, he was only curious about the earning power of this person.

Not like now.

He has begun to doubt the reason why Kia burned money like this...

Compared to other giants that have not been discovered yet.

Murdoch was the first to feel that Abel's three 2 billion dollar plans are not simple.

There may be other purposes behind it.

It is because of this feeling.

He made a decision different from that of Time Warner’s president. He said to the two deputies beside him, “Let’s have a plan like this too!”

One of them was the vice president of News Corp. He was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously responded: "Huh? Okay."

Then came the chief operating officer. He responded faster and immediately asked, "Sir. What kind of plan?"

Murdoch pondered.

"That young Mr. Sefrosa is going to spend 6 billion U.S. dollars to make trouble in Hollywood... Such a good opportunity, of course, our News Corporation can't let it go!"

"He actually used 6 billion U.S. dollars, so let's use 10 billion U.S. dollars!"

"We have a big movie plan of 10 billion dollars!"

"how about it?"

He enthusiastically asked his two capable men.

This silenced the vice president and chief operating officer of News Corp.

The chief operating officer couldn't help saying: "Sir...we have sold 20th Century Fox!"

Mr. Chief Operating Officer, I'm talking about the period from July to August this year.News Corp. sold one of their six major Hollywood companies, the famous 20th Century Fox Film Group, to Disney for $71.3 billion.

And in addition to the price of 71.3 billion US dollars, Disney also assumed about 13.8 billion US dollars of Fox net debt, which means that the total value of the transaction is approximately 85.1 billion US dollars.

20th Century Fox was originally a film company owned by News Corporation.In 1985, Murdoch acquired the company from the company's founder.

The 20th Century Fox was sold mainly because of Murdoch’s three-element strategy of news, television, and the Internet. News Corporation’s main development direction in the future is just like its name.

Ready to develop toward the world's No. 1 news company, for this reason the 20th Century Fox was abandoned.

Faced with the questions raised by the chief operating officer, Murdoch was silent for a while.

Of course he knows this.

After all, the 20th Century Fox sold to Disney, he still made the decision.

Compared with the less profitable film business, sell 20th Century Fox at a good price, and then focus on the development of Murdoch’s most valued news business.

This is very worthwhile for Murdoch.Just like when he bought 20th Century Fox in 1985, their film business is actually secondary.The main reason is to get the Fox TV station under the name of 20th Century Fox.

Compared with other media giants.

Murdoch prefers television stations and newspapers, which are very famous among business giants all over the world.

He was even willing to use the shares of 20th Century Fox in exchange for HBO from the times.

Obviously, there is a FOX under News Corporation.

"Hey... When people are old, their memory is bad."

Murdoch said.

"But it doesn't matter...Without 20th Century Fox, we should have other film companies! Let's put forward our 10 billion dollar big movie plan in the name of our other film companies and News Corporation! "

This remark refreshed the spirit of the vice president and chief operating officer.

Is this Mr. President preparing to let News Corp return to the film industry?

Although it seems a bit silly to sell 20th Century Fox and re-enter the movie theater.

But this is actually a good deal.After all, in the 20th century, Fox made losses all the year round, and its debt exceeded $13.8 billion.

Now I sold it, got a large amount of cash, and started from scratch to develop my own film company.With the energy of News Corp, it is not difficult to become a new Hollywood giant.

The chief operating officer said excitedly: "We still have several film companies, although they are not as good as 20th Century Fox! But with our many years of contacts, I believe it will be fine!"

The vice president said worriedly: "10 billion U.S. dollars? We are indeed able to get this money now, selling 20th Century Fox's money, and there are almost 20 billion cash left... but now we have 10 billion U.S. dollars in cash. If so, the company’s cash flow will become a big problem!"

Murdoch chuckled.

"Did I say that I am really going to spend 10 billion US dollars?"

This remark surprised the vice president and chief operating officer.

Then the old man from Australia said quietly: "In the name of our News Corporation, it is announced that we will return to Hollywood! And it is announced that we will prepare a 10 billion big movie plan..."

"But... to establish a new film company, transfer the past 10 million US dollars from the group's account... Make the plan a bit like, let others really believe that we are ready to invest 10 billion US dollars to enter the market to compete! "

"Do you understand the point?!"

"Make others believe that News Corp will return to Hollywood! And is willing to spend 10 billion US dollars!"

"This is the point!"

"I would like to see... facing the 6 billion dollars of that aggressive young man, and the 6 billion dollars of our News Corporation! What will the other guys do?!"

"Anyway...we don't eat this bowl of Hollywood rice now, and now we can see other people beating their lives in this bowl of rice, wasting more money and time, wouldn't it be very pleasant?!"

These words let the two deputies see each other.

This trick is a bit of a loss!Compared with other media giants, News Corporation’s investment in movies is basically zero.

Now they are doing this.

In the case that the young man burned Hollywood a fire, News Corp. was still cheering crazy below!

It is conceivable that Hollywood and movie theaters will enter a crazy boom no matter whether it is true or not!

Ginger is really old and spicy!
