Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Although Kolob was born in the underworld and was one of the five major families in the United States, he himself had always liked literature and admired the American dark writer "Edgar Allan Poe".

He loved Edgar Allan Poe's weird novels, such as "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Manuscript in a Bottle," and "The Black Cat."

The reason why Kolobo likes Poe is because he admires the various "reversals" in Poe's novels.

But he never thought that one day, his life would be "reversed."

He thought that his opponent, who was as weak as an ant and could be crushed to death by his own hands, suddenly turned into a huge tiger that devours people. He couldn't bear this kind of reversal.

But after all, he is also one of the five major family bosses, and he still has the ability to improvise.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Du! Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you and me." Kolobo immediately restrained his arrogant attitude and became smiling. His tone towards Du Yongxiao was more like talking to an old friend.

"Misunderstanding? Is there any? There seems to be no misunderstanding." Du Yongxiao spread his hands and rubbed the bridge of his nose with a joking look on his face: "It seems that just now Mr. Kolobo wanted to merge Paramount Company with our Fox Company."

Kolobo blushed and glanced at Carter and others nervously.

Carlos looked even more embarrassed and at a loss.

Du Yongxiao looked at Kolob with a smile on his face: "Actually, I like your suggestion very much."

"Huh?" Kolobo was stunned.

Others were also stunned.

"Paramount and Fox are both big companies in Hollywood. If the two companies can really merge, they will be a rare giant in Hollywood!" Du Yongxiao said lightly, tapping his fingers on the table involuntarily.

"The two companies can share their film sources for decades, their major theater chains, and even global theater chains, and they can also help each other in terms of actors, directors, and producers!" Du Yongxiao tapped his fingers faster.

"The most important thing is-" Du Yongxiao paused for a moment, and his eyes burned with a strange light, "Since I can help bring Fox back to life, I can push Paramount to the top!"

In a word, the scene was silent.

Du Yongxiao's last words may seem like an understatement, but they are full of domineering.

But it has to be convincing.

Indeed, when Fox collapsed, Du Yongxiao acquired it and turned it around in just a few months, making a huge profit of 300 million U.S. dollars. Who can match this kind of courage?

"So -" Du Yongxiao tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Kolob and said, "I hope that Fox can merge with Paramount, just like what you proposed before, Mr. Kolob."

Kolob was stunned.

Carlos was also stunned.

I doubt I heard it correctly.

"Ahem, no, Mr. Du. What I mean is that you agree to listen to my opinion and let Fox return to Paramount?" Kolobo asked suspiciously.

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Wrong! It's not that Fox is under Paramount. On the contrary, Paramount is under Fox! That means Fox officially merges with Paramount -"

Korobo was startled.

Du Yongxiao breathed out, took his fingers off the table and said in an unquestionable tone: "To put it bluntly, I am Fox, and I want to annex your Paramount!"

The scene was completely silent!

Kolob's face turned ugly.

He never expected that Du Yongxiao would turn around and become a general! Want to eat Paramount!

Carlos's face turned red even more, and he pointed at Du Yongxiao's nose regardless of everything: "Du, you are too ambitious!"

"Am I ambitious?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, his smile subdued, revealing a hint of unruliness: "Ambition must match strength! Weren't you ambitious before? Now I'm just following your pace, why are you anxious?"

"You-" Carlos was too angry to speak.

Du Yongxiao ignored him, feeling that he was just a clown. He looked at Kolob and tapped his fingers on the table again: "Mr. Kolob, what do you think?"

Korobo swallowed, looked deeply, and looked at Du Yongxiao: "Yes, as long as the price is right."

"Mr. Colombo——"

Cross was anxious.

Kolobo gave him a look that meant to shut up and look at me.

Carlos then shut up and looked at Du Yongxiao angrily.

Kolobo slowly picked up the coffee cup and glanced at Du Yongxiao: "Today, Paramount's stock market value is at least 500 million. If you add in the huge film source assets, thousands of various theaters under it, and invisible connections, As well as channels involving overseas distribution, etc., it is worth at least one billion. How much do you plan to pay?" He took a sip of coffee and then looked up at Du Yongxiao with disdain.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and stretched out three fingers towards Korobo: "Three hundred million!"

"Pfft!" Kolobo almost spit out a mouthful of coffee, stared at Du Yongxiao, and said a few words from between his teeth: "What did you say, three hundred million?"

"That's right, it's 300 million!" Du Yongxiao said calmly, ignoring Kolob's anger. "As you know, I only spent 100 or 200 million to acquire Fox, and now I'm giving 300 million to acquire Paramount. a lot of!"

"A lot?" Kolobo said with a strange smile, "Fox had negative equity at that time, had been losing money for many years, and owed a lot of debt! On the surface, you spent one or two billion on the acquisition, but in fact you also shouldered all its debts, didn't you?"

"As for our Paramount, we have always had very good profits. We have clear accounts and no debts! You just want to acquire it after spending 300 million. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world!" Kolobo said sarcastically to Du Yongxiao.

Carlos also sneered at the side: "I think you are crazy! You want to acquire our Paramount for only 300 million, it is a fool's dream! Humph!" He crossed his arms and looked arrogant.

Du Yongxiao stopped tapping his fingers on the table, picked up the coffee cup with his right hand, and took a sip of coffee.

I smacked my lips and felt that it tasted very good.

Du Yongxiao put down his coffee and then looked up at Kolobo and Carlos: "Is 300 million less? If so, I will add more!"

Kolobo sneered: "This is not a question of whether to add something or not. This is a company worth one billion, but you are only willing to give out one-third of the money that is not returned--"

"Yes, our respected Mr. Colobo will not listen to you! Damn it! The price you offered is simply a joke!" Carlos sneered from the side.

"Don't you think so, Mr. Colobo?" Carlos turned around and flattered Colobo again.

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person with particularly soft ears——"

"Let me add a little bit -" Du Yongxiao interrupted Kolob, "Captain Quinn is one of the shareholders of the two companies and holds 1% of the shares!"

"Huh?" Kolobo was stunned.

Quinn looked calm, as if he already knew this.

Carter and George looked at the show in front of them with smiles on their faces.

Du Yongxiao glanced at Kolobo: "Why, it's not enough, then add some more - Director George is also counted as a shareholder, holding 2% of the equity!"

"Ah?" Kolobo was even more stunned.

"Wow, Mr. Kolobo, you have a big appetite and you are still not satisfied! Well, then, Mr. Carter will also join in and occupy 3% of the shares! Is this okay?"

Kolob's mind became confused.

He never dreamed that Du Yongxiao would be so calculating and involve the three people he feared most. How could he refuse?

Block people's money and kill their parents!

If he dared to say no, wouldn't he be going against the three of them?

Carlos was anxious and said loudly: "Mr. Colobo, don't believe what he says! Yes, he is clearly threatening you! Dear, great you, how can you compromise? God, you will never, Yes or no?"

Kolobo said nothing, his expression uncertain.

Du Yongxiao observed his words and saw Korobo's gloomy expression and ferocious eyes. He was about to be pushed to the explosive point by himself. He smiled slightly: "Okay, it seems that you not only have a big appetite but also a big ambition, so I will add a little bit at the end -"

Du Yongxiao picked up the coffee cup, put it down with a bang, and looked at Kolobo: "Now I solemnly invite you, Mr. Kolobo! Please serve as the vice chairman of the boards of these two companies, with a status second only to me and occupying hundreds of Ten-tenths of the equity! Can you—?”

boom!

Kolob's head exploded.

Du Yongxiao threw out this temptation, which hit his weak spot!

Originally, he and Carlos joined forces to make profits and at the same time use Paramount to clean up the gang.

Now--

Vice Chairman of the Joint Board of Directors of the two companies——

that power!

Benefit!

Wouldn’t it be twice as much as before?

My heart is pounding!

Carlos was anxious at this moment, jumping up like a monkey, pointing at Du Yongxiao's nose and yelling: "Damn it! You are deceiving! Yes, God will not forgive you!" He turned around and said to Colobo: "Sir, You must never listen to him! Don’t be fooled! Yes, he is a despicable, shameless and treacherous villain! You are so smart and wise, you will definitely not be fooled--"

Before Carlos could finish his words——

Korobot stood up abruptly.

Everyone was shocked.

The expression on Kolobo's face changed again and again, and he suddenly became determined. He stretched out his hand towards Du Yongxiao: "Happy cooperation!"

Du Yongxiao smiled.

Others laughed too.

Carlos is anxious!

He jumped up like a monkey and gestured towards Kolobo in an exaggerated manner: "You can't do this! No!"

Heartbreaking!

Like a resentful woman abandoned by her lover.

"Happy cooperation!" Du Yongxiao stood up and shook hands with Kolob.

"As for my investment of 300 million US dollars, according to you -" Du Yongxiao looked at Kolobo.

"I see--" Kolobo pulled aside Carlos, who was still yelling and jumping around like a giant monkey, and smiled at Du Yongxiao: "Yes!"

"No, no, no! You want to take away my Paramount for 300 million! No!" Carlos came over again, looking crazy.

"Get out of here!" Kolobo kicked him away. "Damn it! Do I have the final say, or do you?" Kolobo is a smart man. No matter how much money Fox spends to acquire Paramount, He didn't lose anything at all. In turn, he could hold 10% of the shares after the merger of the two companies, which is a big deal!

"No, I'm the boss of Paramount. I'm the boss! Woohoo!" Carlos, the film industry boss who was so arrogant just now, was sitting on the ground crying.
