American Fortune Life

This summer in the capital is like a child's face, changing without warning. Before, the sky was clear and blue, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the sun was scorching hot, but just a few hours later, the sky was low and dark, and the clouds were densely covered.

In the study, Andy was holding his mobile phone, humming perfunctorily, looking at the rain that was falling outside the window, it was hazy, the trees, and the wing room seemed to be shrouded in light smoke, and the raindrops hit the glass window with a loud bang , Splashing water flowers.

Click——

Holding a cup of coffee, Tori walked in wearing a white round neck chiffon loose shirt and a black tube skirt. Andy reached out his hand to signal that Tori's color changed slightly, but he still closed the door obediently. He walked over to Andy, put down the coffee, and sat in the arms of the big devil.

"...Miles, the traditional method of ratings statistics does not reveal anything. "Gossip Girl" has tens of millions of fans around the world."

Andy switched the mobile phone to his left hand, and his right hand became the claw of Lushan, and began to feel the wonderful feeling of the pressure of the wind outside the car window at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, while the little assistant had a nervous expression Staring at the door, the red glow on her pretty face was unusually gorgeous.

"Hehe, everyone hopes that this youth idol drama will be well-received and well-received. Besides, if you think the ratings are not ideal, you have to compare it with that TV series, right..."

"Insufficient greed." Andy hung up the phone impatiently, mocking with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. As for the CW TV station, there is no use value, so he naturally wouldn't want to waste time on them.

For the American drama "Gossip Girl", the two heroines became popular and have tens of millions of fans, but the ratings are not satisfactory. The CW TV station is quite unwilling. No, in the promotion of the second season During the pre-heating period, CW TV station has invested heavily in publicity this time, and it is even more hoped that Andy can also help to promote it on his Facebook and photo wall.

It's a bit ridiculous, not to mention that the goal of popularizing Blake Lively and Leighton Meester has been achieved. Even if it is not popular, it is impossible for Andy to help other TV stations to promote it. His own AMC TV station The American dramas don't have this kind of treatment, and the CEO of CW also wants to be fooled.

"Boss, boss, this is the financial status of the second quarter that just came in..." The little assistant blushed and picked up the phone that had just received the email notification tone, opened it, checked it, and handed it to Andy.

"Oh~" Andy took the phone and looked at the email, because there are two box office blockbusters "Iron Man" and the summer file "The Incredible Hulk", which ranked second in the global box office in the first half of 2008, even if "Invincible Hulk" "The box office was somewhat unsatisfactory. However, Marvel's net income in the second quarter of this year still increased by 60%, which led to the growth of the company's other businesses and the increase in expected annual income.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The Marvel Group had completely turned around. Next, as long as he took pictures step by step, he could lie down and make money without worrying about anything.

Marvel's broad avenue has been laid, and it's time to add the last piece of the puzzle to its own entertainment media empire.

Andy patted Tori, who was already winking, and said with a smile: "You little bastard, have you been hungry these days? But no matter how hungry you are, you have to bear it first, okay, let's go out first. "

Tori looked a little resentful, but also a little helpless, since the arrival of the bad queen, there is still a chance for her, she left Andy's arms, stood aside and neatly arranged her bra, walked to the dressing mirror and patted her ruddy face cheek, took a few deep breaths, stroked the hair on both sides of the cheek, and then opened the door and walked out after confirming that there was no problem.

Andy just shook his head and laughed. After picking up the phone and sending a text message, he waited silently for a while, and soon got a text message reply. After reading it, he shook his mouse a few times and clicked on the profile picture of Alvetrie on MSN.

"Good morning boss."

"Al, didn't you disturb your rest?" Andy asked with a chuckle looking at Alvetrie in the video.

"No, I was just checking the re-submitted materials of the two rooms. Boss, what are your orders?"

"Well." Andy looked at Al, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. You must know that he stuffed Alvetrie, the chief think tank, into the rescue team of the Ministry of Finance. There is still the idea of ​​exercising Al in it.

You must know that the Smith family is a political family, and the person who will be pushed to replace Old Smith in the future will undoubtedly be his cheap father. As his cheap son, in the future, will Auston want to continue the political tradition of the Smith family and hide behind the scenes, or If you want to go further to the front stage, you need a lot of resource support and talent reserves.

The Smith family does not lack political resources, but financial talents are the shortcoming of the Smith family, and Alvitley is one of them that Andy is optimistic about and values. What better way to personally participate in the government's decision-making in this financial turmoil? A good chance to exercise him?

Wall Street's penetration of Washington can be said to be in almost every aspect. The position of U.S. Treasury Secretary has almost become the exclusive throne of Goldman Sachs. Even Warren Buffett, the current senior economic advisor of O'Hei Niu, was supported by Goldman Sachs. It is conceivable that the next candidate to succeed the finance minister still cannot jump out of this category.

Since Goldman Sachs can penetrate to this degree, so can his Andy Smith's Gaia Corporation.

"Al, let me sort out the information of the American AMC theater company. I am going to acquire it to complete the last piece of the puzzle of my media entertainment. By the way, I will complete the integration of the entertainment media group. The integration work, people from the think tank can also start I'm ready, I don't want to waste too much time."

Andy looked at Al in the video and stated his purpose. The stampede and chaos brought about by the financial turmoil can save him a lot of money in the continuous annexation, which is definitely a rare opportunity in a century. Chance.

Even with the continuous mergers and acquisitions, the amount of his debts will skyrocket, but it is undoubtedly worth it. Now many companies and assets in the United States are undervalued. As long as he survives the financial crisis, his total assets will also skyrocket. , What are those debts? As for the loss, tsk tsk, even if you make money, you have to make a loss, otherwise you have to pay a lot of taxes. . . . . .

Alvitre was not surprised when he heard the purpose of the big boss. This was also in his expectation, and it was also in the expectation of many interested people. After all, Andy Smith's idea of ​​building an entertainment media empire is not a secret. , Just look at his layout of the entertainment industry and the media industry.

At first, many people thought that Andy was holding back his big move, ready to complete the feat of swallowing elephants in one go, and start with the three major public television networks, but they didn't expect that he would come out with a cable television network himself, and after several hypes and operations , AMC TV station actually came from behind, catching up with the merged CW TV network, and it is very likely to compete with FOX.

It’s impossible to say that he doesn’t covet the three major broadcasting companies. The problem is that CBS, ABC, and NBC are not assets that he can annex without hurting his muscles and bones, and may even shake him. Ji Ji, he didn't think that no one was staring at his piece of fat, he could even imagine how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark, waiting for him to make a mistake, and then jumping out to tear him apart, carve him up and swallow him up.

Before completing the initial accumulation and laying a solid foundation, Andy will not expand wildly. Stability is what he needs to insist on all the time. Therefore, although his assets have a lot of liabilities, he has enough cash in his hand. To the point where most of the debts can be paid off, so that he doesn't have to worry about the capital chain being broken, and the sharks around him smell a little bit of blood.
