Chapter 1301 Late Night Secret Talk The only requirement
Being able to become the richest man in a country is basically a temporary choice. Character is an indispensable and important condition, and courage is naturally a matter of course. He didn't lack the courage to do so, he just lacked the motivation to convince himself, so immediately, he asked Tony solemnly.
"Lord Stark, can you elaborate? What kind of opportunity is it, and what are you going me to do? ”
"It's simple. I know that you have been cooperating with Hollywood, and with the help of capital, you have acquired a company in Hollywood, and you plan to use this as a bridgehead to complete your invasion of Hollywood, right? ”
Although this kind of thing belongs to the high-level strategy of a company, it is not a big secret to the head of a country. Since Tony dared to cooperate with him, he naturally had almost figured out his details. Of course, the richest man didn't know this, so he suddenly said to Tony with some hesitation.
"Your Excellency, this is just a simple business dealing. I don't think I've violated the laws of your country. ”
"Of course, I'm not telling you this to warn you about the law you've broken. That's something that the Ministry of Commerce cares about, and as long as it doesn't come to me, even if I know it, I will only treat it as if I don't see it. Shaking his head, Tony said to him bluntly. But you didn't break the law, but you broke the rules. I guess you should feel it too, the deep malice from Hollywood? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Wang Shoufu's heart was kicked, and then his face involuntarily became gloomy.
"Your Excellency, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
"Oh, Mr. Wang. The tone of your voice has changed, and I think your face must be ugly now. You don't understand what I mean? Do you really not understand? Okay, I'll assume you don't understand, so I'll explain it to you myself. After a slight pause, Tony smiled at him in a tone mixed with a hint of disdain. Don't you think that in the eyes of those Hollywood goblins, you are just a person who is stupid and has a lot of money? ”
When Wang Shoufu heard this, his heart suddenly exploded. This is Tony, the guy with the name of the president, on the other side, otherwise he might have to scold. But even so, he was panting for breath. It wasn't until a long time later that he barely calmed down.
"Lord Stark, you're slandering. If you've always had that attitude, I think I should doubt the sincerity of your cooperation. With an attitude like yours, I really don't think you'd take a serious attitude to talk to me about business. ”
"Don't play, Mr. Wang. I know you Chinese like to talk implicitly, but we Americans are different, we have always had something to say. Of course, I may be irritating to your heart when I say this. If that's the case, I'm sorry. But in any case, there is some truth in my words. ”
"Don't lose your temper just yet, Mr. Wang. You see, what I'm saying is well-founded. The Hollywood guys aren't philanthropists, and when you've put their knives and forks on their plates, do you think they'll graciously give you their cake? ”
"I'm working with them." Hearing Tony's words, the richest man Wang's face wrinkled. Although he had to admit that Tony's words did have some truth, he still had to say it for the sake of his own face. "I broke into Hollywood and opened up the market here. They use my relationship to enter the mainland market, which is a mutually beneficial thing. Not as bad as you say. ”
"yes, that's what you really think?" With a smile, Tony naturally became more and more unpolite when he spoke. "Maybe that's what you think. But as a standard American, and a business-turned-politician. I guess I should tell you some secrets. Please believe me, Mr. Wang. You're not the first person to think that way. The Germans, and the Wall Street elites, they all hit the same idea as you. Hollywood is a big gold mine, and a lot of people want to come down and get a handful. But until now, no one has been able to take advantage of them. ”
"The Germans were cheated away, Wall Street gave the pit all its money, and it is still fighting a confused lawsuit with Hollywood. And the Japanese-funded Sony was eaten at this time, and there were not even bones left. These examples all illustrate the fact that the guys in Hollywood have never been good men and women. The reason why they are so polite to you now is just that they regard the Chinese market behind you as a big cake. You're the one who pushes the cake in their eyes. Of course, it's just the cake pushing. I also know about a few of your joint venture movies recently, do you have any big gains in them? ”
Hearing this, the richest man Wang was silent. He has cooperated with Hollywood in several big productions, and Chinese capital and Chinese actors are all stuffed in by his connections. But these big productions didn't bring him high returns. The end is dull, and after removing the cost of publicity and distribution, it is difficult to say that the final benefit is a loss or a gain. Why didn't you make money? Wang Shoufu also thought about this question, and he didn't get a proper answer before. And now, Tony has told him the answer himself.
"No, is it? You know why? Because you're being pitted. These so-called big productions are just a decoy and an outcast for these cunning guys in Hollywood. The things that can be taken out to cooperate with you are not valued by them. Do you think they're going to take the Pirates of the Caribbean series out for collaboration? Do you think they will let you invest in Avatar? No way! I want to know no, because if I were a Hollywood tycoon, I wouldn't use my family's golden rice bowl to take others to eat, don't you say, Mr. Wang! ”
Having said that, Wang Shoufu was originally angry in his heart, but he was also out of gas at this time. Tony's sharp teeth and sharp mouth are known all over the world. It's really impossible to get anything good by arguing with him. And besides, there is indeed a truth in what he said. In retrospect, he did mean that he was a little cheated.
It's like spending money to buy lessons. After all, he is the richest man, and his open-mindedness is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For him, instead of dwelling on this kind of problem that is already in the past, it is better to look to the future and see what opportunities this guy can bring him. So immediately, he cleared his throat and diverted the topic and asked.
"Assume that it is, Mr. President. But this should have nothing to do with you looking for me, it's late at night in the United States, and you called me so late to say this, wouldn't it be to make me unhappy? ”
"No, of course not, didn't I say all this just to let you understand how much you've lost on this side of Hollywood? And the reason why I want to do this is to give you a chance to get back these losses? ”
"So, what are you going me to do?"
"It's simple, how much money can you raise?"
Getting to the point, Tony stopped speaking in the same tone as before. He became formal, and it was this formality that also cheered up the richest man Wang.
"If it is the liquidity of my private industry, I will probably only be able to draw 20 or 30 billion yuan of liquidity. However, if you borrow money from a bank, you should be able to get 200 billion yuan. ”
"Two hundred billion? It should be enough. "After mentally converting the currency exchange rate between the two countries, Tony already has a solid foundation in his heart." I think Mr. Wang, you should also know that China's stock market is now volatile. I can tell you very clearly, I did it, and there is a shadow of your government behind it. This is a collaboration of ours, and you don't have to explore the reasons and purposes of what they are. What I can tell you now is that I can call the shots of this partnership. And what you have to do is very simple, is to kill in with capital, and then find a way to buy Time Warner and 21st Century Fox. ”
"Buying Warner and Fox?" Hearing this request, Wang Shoufu almost bit his tongue. Although he is rich, those two families are not bad. Moreover, people are engaged in entertainment, and they have a financial advantage by nature, and if he really uses money to smash it, he may not be able to smash it down. So this statement is really unreliable no matter how you listen to it.
However, Wang Shoufu also came over in the wind and waves, and he did not show this psychological surprise on the bright side, but still maintained a calm posture and asked Tony.
"I could do it, but honestly, I don't think it's going to be a success. Hollywood has always been xenophobic, and your American capital is not necessarily willing to let me buy two such important companies. If they get in the way, I'm going to die in no time. And such a large amount of money has been wasted, and my career will definitely be greatly impacted. So ......"
The rest of the words are to be sold at the price, and in the face of his meaning, Tony is naturally unambiguous.
"Rest assured, you have me behind you, and I can assure you that your acquisition will go well. Maybe the capitalists will be happy to see what you do. After all, for them, the United States is a broken ship. I believe they will be happy to catch a new ship on your line. ”
"This ......" empty promise, of course, the richest man Wang can't easily comply. So he stretched out his tone and made it clear that he wanted Tony to give a specific statement. And Tony knew he had to give something. So immediately, he said to him in a deep voice.
"I'm going to start looking for trouble with those capitals, and the stock market shock will spill over to the entertainment industry. This is your best chance to get in, and the entire U.S. government will give you the green light. And there's only one thing you have to do, and that's to take those two companies. The most important thing is that you must take down the TV station in their hands! ”
