Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The other party has expressed goodwill and made necessary concessions. Of course Random House could not hesitate any longer, and soon the two reached an agreement. That is to say, regarding Jurassic Park, all publishing matters are left to Random House.

The book publishing issue has been discussed, and then Spielberg and others will also prepare to acquire Disney. Bao Zixuan is so supportive. If he can't even spend the money, he will definitely be wiped out. You must know that they are all Hollywood veterans. Now they have the opportunity to become real movie tycoons, but they cannot miss the opportunity.

Yuan Tianfan expressed his confusion as to why his boss suddenly provided a US$5 billion loan to four Americans. Although these people are quite famous, they are also rich themselves. But it is not common sense to provide them with so many loans without any collateral. There is a limit to the credibility or value of any person.

They might be able to repay hundreds of millions of dollars, but one billion dollars would probably take a lifetime to make a movie. And the most important thing is that there is no collateral. If the assets are transferred and the bank files for bankruptcy, Heiyun Bank will suffer a big loss. Don't underestimate anyone. In the face of huge profits, you can probably do anything.

However, Bao Zixuan was very resolute and said that if something went wrong, he would pay the money personally to provide guarantee for several people. The entire bank belongs to someone else. Since the boss is not worried about property losses and the reminder obligations have been fulfilled, he can only provide funds to a few people.

In fact, Bao Zixuan also knew that it would inevitably cause misunderstanding among his subordinates. After all, this is an illegal operation for bank operations. But if Fucaira wants to develop in the future, it will still need a few people in terms of publicity. Maybe it can't be seen now, but when the Soviet Union collapses, its power will probably be seen.

It is impossible for foreigners to acquire American media, so if they want to give Black Cloud Group and Fucairah a positive publicity, they must have a strategic partner. Most of these people are Jews. As long as they have conflicts with Israel, they will definitely not add insult to injury. It is worth paying no matter how much it costs to get a media organization that can help speak out.

Paul Allen first started buying Disney stock in bulk on the stock market. Although this operation is very primitive, there is currently no other good way. Several people had already assigned their work before returning to the United States. Therefore, everyone wants to complete the task as soon as possible, and no one wants to be delayed.

In one week, 13% of Disney shares were acquired through 4 accounts, causing the stock price to directly rise by 20%. Even if the Disney board of directors is stupid, they still know what is going on. So now it's time for a showdown, and it's no longer possible to hide.

George Lucas came to Michael Eisner's office to have a chat with the tyrant.

Eisner was something of an individualist, and business decisions at all his companies were based on his personal preferences. I have just moved into Disneyland, so my personality and lack of results have often caused conflicts with Disney family members. Although most board members will support him.

But if you still can't see any results, I guess it won't be too far away. The world is such a reality. Paying you a high salary is to help solve problems, not to create conflicts. Although I have achieved excellent results before, that does not mean anything. If you want to gain the trust of shareholders and the support of employees, you must make some achievements, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

While he was thinking about it, he heard George Lucas coming to visit, which made Michael Eisner a little confused. Although Disney and Lucasfilm have cooperated, the other party showed up uninvited and without any warning before, but it was very strange. Visitors are guests, and George Lucas has a lot of respect in Hollywood. If it really happened, the other party would be more popular than him.

George Lucas smiled and said: "Michael, I didn't interrupt your work by coming here uninvited!"

Everyone is already here, so it’s a bit redundant to say it now!

In fact, George Lucas originally wanted to call in advance to make an appointment; the Disney CEO is not someone who chats on the street and is always available. My schedule is very full. There is really not much time to make temporary adjustments every day, and not everyone has the strength and qualifications to let others make time for you.

But calling the other party directly to make an appointment means giving Michael Eisner time to prepare. George Lucas knew that when it came to making movies and creating, Michael Eisner was no match for him. But when it comes to running a business, doing business, and negotiating business, I am definitely not as good as others.

There are specialties in the art industry, and some talent and experience are simply difficult to make up for in a short period of time.

If the old fox is given time to prepare, then George Lucas will definitely be very passive. Now I am preparing carefully, but Michael Eisner has no idea and can only deal with it hastily; maybe there will be a tie, at least he will not suffer too much. This is what he wants to achieve, otherwise there is really no certainty.

They are all busy people, and George Lucas will definitely not come to see him when he has nothing to do. The relationship is familiar, but far from the point where we see each other often. The other party is not a beautiful woman, and it is easy for people to misunderstand her if she sees her too much.

Michael Eisner smiled and said: "What are you talking about? It's not too late to be happy that you can come and see me."

"I happen to have some projects recently, and I want to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic. Maybe I heard some rumors."

In fact, this is just a test. After all, we don’t know what the other party will do; but if we want to take the initiative, we must come up with projects to attract the other party.

George Lucas wanted to laugh when he heard that the other party still tried to take the initiative as the CEO of a large company. However, it also proves that his mentality is more mature now, and at least the money in his account gives him more confidence. After communicating with Bao Zixuan, he became more calm when facing the so-called tycoons in Hollywood.

Even if he is rich, is there still Bao Shou rich? As for power, there is no comparison. It seems that I really need to have more contact with super tycoons, at least when negotiating, I will become more confident.

In fact, George Lucas knew that the so-called cooperation was nothing more than some special effects shots. As the CEO of Disney, I won't personally manage these little things. The two parties have cooperated many times, and the prices are open and transparent. There is no need for the CEO to be personally involved.

George Lucas smiled and said: "I came here to talk about cooperation with you, but it has nothing to do with Industrial Light and Magic. Those are just small things. As the CEO of Disney, there should be more important things to do."

"Michael, we are all acquaintances, and the matter has reached this point; there is no need to hide it. I am ready to acquire Disney. If possible, it is no problem to fully own it. If this matter can succeed, then you are already The CEO of Disney, and he still owns shares.”

"This time it's not just me, Steven Spielberg, Chrisson Ford, and Microsoft's major shareholder Paul Allen will also be involved. You know, none of us are good at management, so the company's specific affairs , it’s better to leave the responsibility to you. We will just become a director and do some work that we like.”

When Michael Eisner heard that the other party wanted to acquire Disney, he felt that today was April Fool's Day. No one in Hollywood knows anyone. With the financial strength of these few people, how can they do it?

But seeing that the other party was speaking very seriously, he jointly reported that the company's stock price had risen significantly. I immediately understood the reason, and it seemed that they had already taken action against Disney.

The stock price is the best proof. There has been no major good news about Disney in the recent period; without large-scale investment by institutions, it is impossible to rise 20% in a week; this is very unscientific. I was thinking about this question just now, and now it seems I have found the answer!

But that’s not right either! Although Microsoft is known as a technology upstart, its market value is only a little higher than Disney. Paul Allen is only the company's second largest shareholder, and he doesn't have the financial strength to acquire Disney; could there be any super tycoon hiding behind it?

Suddenly it occurred to me that the four of them had gone to Fucaira together and had just returned not long ago. This is not a secret in Hollywood, and even a few people have not been shy about coming back. Could it be that he has the full support of Bao Zixuan? If that is the case, let alone the acquisition of Disney, there is no problem in buying the entire Hollywood, at least in terms of funds!
