Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In fact, recent media reports have also made the two of them very anxious. It is very topical in itself, and it has successfully acquired the Disney Company this time. If one's own strength is sufficient, it can be regarded as a good thing, or even a good talk. It will instantly become a new synonym for the American Dream. At least in the field of entrepreneurship, it is very successful.

Although Spielberg and George Lucas' families are very wealthy, they are still far from being super rich; there is still a big gap between them and the Disney family. Now, through its own efforts, it can successfully acquire the most famous film company in Hollywood. It is definitely a qualitative leap and a very remarkable achievement.

But if they are just puppets standing on the front desk, then this so-called acquisition means nothing to Americans, and is even a shame.

After all, four Americans, in order to get some benefits. To be at the mercy of a Xiangjiang man, the four of them are in China, but they have a high social status and their own influence is not low.

With the media coverage in recent days, Spielberg also knows that if he does not clarify, the public's spittle will drown them. It is impossible to sell the shares now. It is impossible to sell the shares. If that is the case, some people with ulterior motives will succeed. I feel that you have a guilty conscience!

And how Bao Zixuan would view them, he must think that these people are really incompetent; they have no ability to withstand pressure at all, so there will never be smooth sailing in business! Don't talk about continuing to cooperate in the future, there is probably no chance to meet.

The two looked at each other, and Spielberg said very seriously: "This matter is definitely not what the media reported. Although Black Cloud Group has acquired some Disney shares, it is only a small shareholder. Although it has provided us with some loans, This is just normal business dealings."

"We are Americans, and we have a certain degree of influence. We will never do anything that is disrespectful to the country and the people. On this point, your Excellency the President can rest assured."

Reagan was still very pleased to hear Spielberg say this. Moreover, he understands the personalities of the two of them. Although he can also play some clever tricks, he would never dare to deceive the President of the United States on this matter. There is still a lot of measure to be taken when facing big issues of right and wrong.

But there is also a little worry, as a president born in Hollywood. But knowing the rules inside, George Lucas may have stronger financial strength, but his net worth will not exceed US$500 million at most. And that still has to include Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic and other companies.

As for Spielberg and others, there is no problem with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but it is impossible to have too much. Now that they are spending billions of dollars to acquire Disney, the amount of loans they have is quite large. Regan knew Bao Zixuan to some extent and seemed very generous; he had never let his partners suffer. But I have never made a loss-making business, and I am very thief at heart.

It has not been reflected yet. Once the company's performance is not good and the other party urgently withdraws the loan, then they will definitely not be able to pay it back for a while. At that time, there may be no other way except using Disney shares to pay off the debt.

Both of them are artists, too idealistic; perhaps they think the world is too beautiful.

Reagan thought for a moment and said: "We are friends, and we are not chatting with the two of us as presidents now. So I will say some things directly. I hope you don't mind."

After seeing the expressions of the two people, Reagan immediately understood what he meant. After becoming president, it can be said that there are fewer and fewer friends; there is even no one in the White House. The three of them are all from Hollywood and are familiar with each other and at least have something in common.

Not everyone is qualified to be the president's friend. Although he is about to retire, his influence is not bad at all. They are all willing to make friends with powerful people, and they will never have too many resources and connections.

Even though what Reagan said was somewhat false, the fact that others were able to say it showed that he still had this idea.

Reagan continued: "We are familiar with each other, and I also know that although the income of big directors in Hollywood is not low. But that is only relative, your net worth; perhaps compared to ordinary people, it is a huge amount of money. But for It may still be difficult to acquire a movie company like Disney, which ranks among the top eight."

"Although I don't know the exact amount of the loan from Heiyun Bank, the amount will definitely not be low. Everything has risks, even if the relationship is close now; no one can say which direction it will develop in the future."

"Even if Bao Zixuan doesn't take the initiative to ask you for repayment, Heiyun Group is such a big company. If there is a problem in the capital chain, why don't you pay back the money? Or maybe the other party is really in trouble and will not save you."

"The risks in all of this are very high; if one thing goes wrong, you will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption."

Loyalty is offensive, especially when it comes from the president. Neither of them are fools, and they heard different flavors from here.

Bao Zixuan asked them to repay the loan in advance, which was only one aspect; of course, this possibility was not high. After all, both parties are bound by the contract, and no one can do too much. Basic business reputation will not be violated easily.

But Reagan said that if there was a problem with Heiyun Group, the White House might be preparing to take action against Bao Zixuan. It is not impossible, after all, the Black Cloud Group is already powerful enough to threaten American industry.

The Heiyun Group now controls most of the high technologies that the United States has always been proud of. And the level of technological advancement is definitely no worse than that of domestic companies. Coupled with advanced design and marketing concepts, the market share is very high.

It's just that the Soviet Union is currently eyeing him militarily, and the Japanese are trying their best to catch up economically. Bao Zixuan himself has a very high prestige, and the Heiyun Group pays taxes according to regulations, so they haven't taken action.

In fact, these richest people know it themselves, but when the company develops to a certain level, it will definitely be targeted.

At this moment, the two directors don’t think so. Reagan wants to take action against the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan. This is an obvious signal. But what other options are there now! We can only take one step at a time, and at the same time do our best to run Disney well. As long as the stock price increases and dividends increase, the loan owed can be paid off quickly.

George Lucas is relatively experienced in negotiations and said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this, the loan interest rate is very low. And the contract signed is very long. At the same time, the two of us are confident that we can run Disney well." .”

"Under your leadership, the U.S. economy will only get better and better. Naturally, the efficiency of film companies will not be bad."

The answer to this question is that there is nothing wrong with it at all. It can be said that it is close to a perfect answer.

Moreover, Reagan just wanted an answer, that is, Bao Zixuan was not the majority shareholder; this would also be an explanation to the people, otherwise there would be no way to explain to the people.

Coming from Hollywood, most film and television professionals will support him during elections. But now there is a problem in Hollywood, and the Disney acquisition has been questioned. If you can't even understand what's going on in your profession, how can you manage a country well?

Even if he is about to retire, he does not want to be questioned at the end of his administration.

The two left the White House soon. It was not easy for the president to entertain them for such a long time.

Neither of them spoke on the way back. Having worked together several times, it can be said that we understand each other very well and are always waiting for the other person to speak first.

George Lucas understood Spielberg's character, so he took the lead in saying, "It seems that we are going to speed up Disney's development and be more careful in recent years."

"According to Reagan, the White House already has ideas about Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, but they haven't taken action yet. But since there are signs of this, it is only a matter of time before we take action."

In fact, why doesn't Spielberg know that he has been in the United States for so many years? Being a Jew himself, of course he knows some of this country's policies. Any country, company, or individual that may threaten the status of the United States will inevitably be targeted. And many times, the timing is very accurate.

Otherwise, during World War II, it would not have been possible to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers for so long, only to enter the scene at the critical moment to clean up the mess.

Spielberg: "It is true. Although Bao Zixuan looks very low-key, his ambitions are very big. And the threat to the United States is not even much smaller than that of all high-tech companies in Japan combined. Assuming that we, as president, will also find a way To balance the interests and relationships in this area.”

"I was just thinking about how to solve this problem. That is to work hard and put more time and energy into creation; this is also our only way out."

"Even if you get a loan from an American bank, you won't get such a low interest rate. However, we still need to find an opportunity to inform Bao Zixuan in a subtle way, at least to make him mentally prepared. This is not betraying the country, and it is nip in the bud."

George Lucas immediately understood what it meant, and both of them laughed knowingly!
