Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 329 The Future of the Matrix

…

"Unless we can reach a wider cooperation!"

"Mr. Guo, please explain in more detail!"

Jean-Rene Fortou asked, with a vague suspicion in his heart.

"It's very simple, Universal Pictures, Vidione Games, Canal+ Cable Network and Universal Music Group, I'm buying them...!"

"Sorry, Mr. Guo. Any of them are not for sale by Vivendi!"

"Mr. Fortu, don't interrupt me in a hurry. First of all, you should understand that any help comes at a price. Second, the Vivendi Group's losses always have to find funds to solve." Guo Shouyun, who was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, said slowly.

"Mr. Guo, I think you are wrong. What Vivendi needs now is not help, but smart collaborators. And we do not lack generous collaborators. Mr. Guo is only one of our options, not the only one. "

"Really? In that case, why is Vivendi's share price still hovering at $6, and there is no sign of those generous collaborators buying the dips, or saving them?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

Looking at Jean Rene Fortou with a dignified expression on his face, Guo Shouyun continued to strengthen his language offensive.

"Okay, Mr. Fortu, let's talk about some practical things. Many businesses of my Matrix company overlap with Vivendi Group, especially in film and television. Although there may be some gap between the two sides in terms of scale, we are in film and television. The copyright reserve is unmatched by Universal. I think Mr. Fortou should agree with this?"

"Of course. Not to mention Marvel comics, but Mr. Guo owns 53 copyrights (series), many of which are still popular after film adaptations such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "The Hangover" Series. Oh, by the way. Forgot to congratulate Mr. Guo, "Declaration of Independence", the first film in the "National Treasure" series, achieved a box office of 35.14 million US dollars. According to this trend, the North American box office exceeded 100 million and the global box office exceeded 200 million. It's a sure thing. The Matrix is ​​making a fortune again!"

There was unabashed envy in Jean-Rene Fortou's tone.

No wonder he would envy that the "National Treasures" series has been written by Guo Shouyun in combination with the stolen treasures he had seen in his previous life, as well as "Charlemagne Code", "Indiana Jones 4" and other similar movies.

The entire series is very popular and has sold more than 200 million copies in three years. With such a deep reader base, as long as there is no major problem with the subsequent adaptation and shooting. Judging from the box office of the first film, the entire "National Treasure" series can earn at least $2 billion at the box office. If you add video tapes, CDs and other peripheral sales, this is a big cake worth $4 billion to $5 billion.

It is also a movie, and Jean Rene Fortou, who owns Universal, will naturally not be envious, even a little jealous.

"Thank you. But "National Treasure" is only one of the many film and television series in Matrix, and we have many popular scripts." Guo Shouyun smiled lightly and paused, "If Mr. Fortu is willing to put Universal Pictures, If four companies such as Matrix Games sell to us, we are also willing to cooperate with Vivendi Group in this regard.”

"Universal Pictures is sold, how does Vivendi cooperate with Matrix? As a pure investor?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Jean-Rene Fortou's tone.

"Is there anything you can't do? As long as you can make money, what about pure investment? In this way, Vivendi can save more time and energy to focus on the main business. And, IMHO, although Vivendi's assets Huge, spanning across six major industries of film and television, music, publishing, Internet, communication and environment, but you are best at the environmental field. You are not good at the other five industries, which is why you hold a good hand, but The main reason for the loss of 23.3 billion euros."

"If Mr. Guo is at the helm of Vidiwang, how do you plan to manage the company? Or how do you get through the current difficulties?"

After thinking for a while, Jean-Rene Fortou suddenly asked in a meaningful way.

"If it were me, I would focus the company's main business on two to three departments with the most potential, focus on adjusting management strategies, accumulate experience, and make the best of several industries. For example, cut off the Internet and communications. And publishing three industries, sell the excess shares of other companies, withdraw funds, and focus on developing the two industries of film and television and the environment." When the words were finished, Guo Shouyun shrugged, "This is just my personal idea, Mr. Fortu Quan Zuo refer to."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo for your proposal!" Jean Rene Fortou said after pondering for a moment and taking a deep look at the man opposite.

"You're welcome. As long as you don't think I'm cheating on Vidiwang!"

Fortu smiled, "Mr. Guo, just like your proposal, if we operate film and television as our main business, it will be even more impossible to sell Universal Pictures."

"Am I taking myself into the ditch?" After laughing at himself, Guo Shouyun straightened his expression, "This cooperation with Vidiwang, we mainly have two goals, one is Universal Pictures, the other It’s the Vidiwang environment. If it doesn’t work out, then this collaboration is meaningless.”

"Then I may have to apologize to Mr. Guo. Both Universal Pictures and Vidiwang Environment are not for sale by the company."

Guo Shouyun nodded, "So our negotiation can end here."

"I'm sorry for letting Mr. Guo go away in vain."

"It doesn't matter, it's a worthwhile trip to know Mr. Fortu and all the senior management of Vidiwang." After the words were finished, he stood up, "Since we have finished talking, we will leave."

"I'll send Mr. Guo!"

Guo Shouyun and his entourage left after seeing off from the high-level Vidiwang headed by Fortu.

On the way back to the hotel by car, Rebecca Mark said: "Boss, it seems that Jean Rene Fortou is not in a hurry to reach a cooperation agreement with us."

"It was already anticipated. Today's meeting is just a test, and substantive negotiations will be involved later. ... Now let's see who can be more calm." Looking at the bustling street scene in Paris outside the car window, his mind was still Details of previous negotiations with Jean-Rene Fortou are played back.

Rebecca nodded in agreement.

"Looking at it now, our previous guesses were all wrong. Whether it's Universal Pictures or Vidiwang Environment, Fortu doesn't plan to sell it." After a moment of silence, Guo Shouyun suddenly said.

"If you choose one of the last two, Jean Rene Fortou refuses very simply." Rebecca nodded.

"Hmm! ... Do you think it would be a good idea to acquire Vidiwang?"

"Huh?" After giving him a surprised look, "The boss really intends to buy Vivendi?"

"I didn't have this idea at first, but Fortu reminded me. The most important thing is that Vidiwang's stock price is very cheap now!" Guo Shouyun subconsciously raised his right hand and rubbed his chin.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be cheating, Rebecca Mark shook his head after pondering for a moment.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Excluding interference from the political level, Jean Rene Fortou has just become the CEO of Vidivan, and it is when he is showing his strength and displaying his ambitions. I am afraid it is difficult to accept the boss's interference with him. Business strategy for Vidivan.”

"Rebecca, you know, I will never interfere with the correct management ideas of the company's top management."

"I understand. But Vidivan is now losing money, and from your previous response to Jean-Rene Fortou's reform measures for Vidivan, you know that the two sides are 'leading in what way' Vidiwang has come out of the predicament, and there are big differences in the company's future strategic choices. If you are allowed to acquire Vidiwang, these differences will become the source of conflict between the two sides. It is very likely that the weaker Jean Rene Fortou was fired. Under such considerations, I would never let you buy Vidivan if it was me.…Unless you are willing to spend a lot of time and energy on a foundation with generous capital , Only by means of a hostile takeover can it be possible to win the controlling stake of Vidiwang.”

After thinking for a moment, Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement.

"What we lack the most right now is time and energy. I don't want to waste it on unplanned things like Vidiwang."

"So, this matter is back to our original plan, which is to selectively acquire part of Vivendi's business." Rebecca Mark said.

"That's right. However, getting a cooperation agreement that satisfies both parties is enough of a headache."

"Boss, do you really want to take down Universal Pictures?" Rebecca Mark said after a moment of silence.

Glancing at her, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Matrix's film and television system is relatively complete and has rich film and television copyrights, but compared with Hollywood media giants such as Disney and Time Warner, we still lack their experience in making blockbusters and a complete world-class distribution system. If we can successfully win Universal Pictures can effectively make up for the shortcomings of Matrix in this regard. Besides, in addition to film production and distribution capabilities, I also value another business portfolio under Universal.”

"what?"

"Universal Studios!"

Guo Shouyun said slowly.

At present, the world's theme parks and resorts comparable to Disneyland, in addition to Merlin Entertainment, is Universal Studios. However, Merlin Entertainment's projects include Madame Tussauds, London Aquarium, London Eye, etc., which are too different from Disneyland and Universal Studios. Therefore, Guo Shouyun, who understands the general trend of the future cultural tourism industry, prefers Universal Studios. Also, Universal Studios is more adult-friendly than Disney's for kids.

"Film, music, comics, animation, games, and publishing can be regarded as the upper end of the entertainment industry chain. Cinemas, TV stations, and online media are the mid-end channels of the entertainment industry, while the cultural tourism industry is the lower end that best fits the entertainment industry. The combination of the three can open up the upstream and downstream of the entertainment industry and support a media flagship with a market value of over 100 billion."

"This is your future plan for the Matrix Group?"

Rebecca Mark's eyes widened in surprise.

"Think grand?"

"Um!"

"Actually, both Disney and Time Warner are doing the same thing as me. My strategy is just imitating them."

"That said, you're faster and faster than Disney and Time Warner."

"Matrix is ​​younger and more dynamic, and it is normal that it will be more efficient than Disney and Time Warner. But as the company gradually expands, the 'big company disease' of Matrix will also be inevitable." Guo Shouyun said.

Scale and efficiency seem to be a paradox that cannot be effectively unified. This is a headache for all the big companies around the world.

"Let's talk about the matrix, let's talk about Vivendi. If this negotiation doesn't go well, Azuricos Water, I will sell it."

"I understand! Although I really want to make it bigger, I won't hesitate when it comes time to choose." Rebecca Mark affirmed.

"You can think so~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Guo Shouyun nodded, "If possible, to facilitate the merger of Azurikos and Vidiwang Environment, and get the main equity of the new company, it is our negotiation this time. one of the tasks. "

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the new company will still be dominated by people from Vidiwang."

"It doesn't matter. The water industry has low profits and higher requirements for management experience and technology than other basic industries. Vidiwang has been immersed in this industry for hundreds of years, and their management is more suitable than us."

After nodding in agreement, Rebecca Mark continued: "How to dispose of this part of the shares? Put it under Anping Capital?"

"The shares of the water company, the shares of the steel plant in India and the Tata Group, have little to do with the main businesses of electricity and natural gas operated by Enron Pacific, so it is appropriate to put them under Anping Capital. Moreover, similar projects in the future may There will be more. Just below Anping, let’s set up this investment and financial subsidiary. However, the scale should not be too large, and there is no need to set up a global branch, as long as it can manage these shares.”

"Lingling...!"

At this moment, Rebecca Mark's phone suddenly rang.

"Who?"

"Jean Rene Fortou! It seems that he is more impatient than we thought." Rebecca Mark said with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Don't jump to conclusions, just listen to what he has to say." Guo Shouyun waved his hand.

"Yes!"

After answering, Rebecca pressed the answer button.

"Boss, looking for you!"

"Give it to me!" Guo Shouyun reached out and took it.
