Resource Tycoon Reborn

At this time, Fang Mingyuan no longer cared about the reaction of China Petrochemical and China National Petroleum Corporation after learning that Gazprom intended to cooperate with Pingchuan Petroleum Corporation to build the China-Russia natural gas transportation pipeline. He was in the United States and had just met with Steve Jobs.

A formal agreement was reached to exchange 3.7% of the shares of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group for the 52.1% of the shares held by Jobs in Pixar Animation Studio.

At first glance, this exchange ratio seems to be a loss for Jobs, but considering the assets of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and its status in the film industry, as well as its stake in Pingchuan Petroleum Group and Kowloon Airlines

, DreamWorks, Emerald Bird Film Group, MGM Holdings, Longxing Construction Group and many other companies, from the perspective of net assets, Jobs did not suffer at all.

Since Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is not listed, it will not disclose its financial statements to the outside world. It was only after seeing the relevant documents brought by Fang Mingyuan that Jobs realized that this emerging film company was actually such a huge business.

Empire! Although he only holds 3.7% of the shares, he is already the fourth individual shareholder among the shareholders of Kumho Film Group in Hong Kong, second only to Fang Mingyuan, Yu Qiuxia, and Fang Bin. He is Pingchuan Petroleum

Taking into account the shareholders of the group company, he is only ranked fifth.

Both parties were sincere, and Fang Mingyuan took out real money again. Naturally, the share exchange procedures were successfully completed. All that was left was just the procedures that should be followed. This was just a matter of time. But Fang Mingyuan had not had time to celebrate it yet.

, I received a call from Spielberg and asked him if he was willing to increase investment in DreamWorks!

Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has 17% of the shares in DreamWorks and is an important shareholder of DreamWorks. However, apart from the film cooperation between the two parties, Fang Mingyuan has never interfered in the operation of DreamWorks. However,

Although DreamWorks has produced many popular and good films over the years, there are also many examples of "Sinbad" released last year, and the film "The Escape" released this summer.

"Out of Clone Island", the box office performance was not satisfactory, and it could not even ensure the company's balance of payments.

DreamWorks' record division has been sold to Universal Pictures, and the game division has been sold to Blizzard. Although the TV series division is still there, its performance is not good. The Internet business has plummeted since the Nasdaq index fell that year.

After the Internet bubble burst, it never made a comeback. That's it. Today, DreamWorks' debt has reached US$630 million, which is close to DreamWorks' net assets!

In 2003, Fang Mingyuan had an exchange with Spielberg about the future of DreamWorks, and proposed that he increase capital of DreamWorks to solve the difficulties faced by DreamWorks. But later Spielberg

The three of them still rejected Fang Mingyuan's proposal - they were worried that Fang Mingyuan's capital increase would seriously affect the distribution of power in DreamWorks. Although they admired Fang Mingyuan's talent, they did not want to put their own

His "dream" was left to others to realize. Fang Mingyuan felt very sorry for this result, but he also said that it was understandable. Of course, he could not let the three of them run DreamWorks after taking more equity.

.Rights and obligations must match. Only obligations without rights is a slave!

Fortunately, he still holds 17% of the shares of DreamWorks. Even if DreamWorks has to be sold to the outside world like in the previous life, he still has enough voice to defend his interests. Although he also pays attention to DreamWorks.

The factory's box office performance this year was poor, but they never expected that Spielberg and the other three would decide to give in to themselves without any clues.

"Stephen, this decision of yours was really sudden and caught me off guard." Fang Mingyuan took the coffee from Li Xintong and placed it in front of Spielberg.

Spielberg smiled bitterly and said: "Because we ourselves also made this decision suddenly." DreamWorks' performance last year was quite poor, and so far this year, due to the box office of "Escape from Clone Island"

Far lower than expected, so DreamWorks is still in the red. At this time, Pixar Animation Studio, which had been discussing cooperation with DreamWorks, suddenly decided to give up cooperation, which was a heavy blow to DreamWorks, but they

Nothing can be said yet, because Jobs handed over control of Pixar Animation Studio to Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group.

In fact, Jobs's choice is not surprising if you think about it carefully. Although Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is not a member of Hollywood, its good reputation over the years has enabled its films to enjoy great preferential treatment not only in American cinema lines.

, even on a global scale, when movie theaters in various countries are arranging films, they also have a high opinion of the movies produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group - no one can feel sorry for his or her own wallet. Movies produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group

High box office is also related to the income of these cinema chain companies. Every year, cinema chain companies in various countries look forward to the launch of new works of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company more than movie fans.

Fangyuan originally rejected Jobs's proposal to hand over Pixar Animation Studio's works to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group for distribution because he felt that there was no point in doing it a second time. However, Jobs transferred the controlling stake of Pixar Animation Studio to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.

Group company, that has another meaning. The works of Pixar Animation Studio can be said to be the works of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. This alone will play a major role in the global box office appeal of Pixar Animation Studio’s future works.

I have reached a higher level - I have not seen the two works of Blue Sky Studio, which can be said to be little-known compared to Pixar Animation Studio, after it was affiliated to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.

Are you being lenient in collecting money in the market?

In addition, the three films "The Matrix", "Resident Evil" and "Ice Age 2" released globally by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group this year have all been popular in the global film market, and "The Matrix" has received critical acclaim.

” even nearly dethroned “Terminator 3” and became the second highest-grossing movie in the world. In the second half of this year, “The Matrix 2” will be released. By then, there will undoubtedly be another wave of excitement in the global movie market.

A wave of "hackers".

According to the public promotion of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, the long-awaited "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will also be released in the second half of this year. This movie adapted from the global best-selling novel can be said to have started filming since then.

Since then, it has attracted great attention from the majority of book fans. Considering the global popularity of the "Harry Potter" series of novels, it can be said that as long as the movie can reach an upper-middle level, the box office will definitely be quite amazing.

Are there any films that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has invested heavily in that can only reach the upper-middle level in the eyes of movie fans?

"Not only am I tired, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen are also tired. Over the years, we have put countless efforts into DreamWorks, but the results can only be said to be unsatisfactory, so,

We hope to put down this burden, focus on our own areas of interest, and hand over the management of the company to you." Spielberg sighed, "We also hope that the company can go into battle lightly, DreamWorks is the three of us.

People's 'dreams', we don't want it to be shattered in the end."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He could understand Spielberg's thoughts. DreamWorks' performance had seriously affected their energy. Among the three of them, except for Jeffrey Katzenberg, he was an expert in company management.

, the other two are unable to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the management of the company.

"Stephen, "Shrek" is about to be released. Why don't you wait?" Fang Mingyuan said. "Shrek" is a new film co-produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and DreamWorks. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group

The company produced the script, characters and 51% of the funds, and undertook a small part of the production work. Most of the work was undertaken by DreamWorks. Production began at the end of 1999 and took a total of four years.

It can be said that this masterpiece, which has been painstakingly produced over the course of more than two years, is ready to be released globally in mid-to-late October. And Fang Mingyuan believes that it will achieve even more brilliant global box office results than in its previous life.

"No wait, even if its box office ranks first among animated films in the world, if it cannot change the current situation of the company, it will still go down the same old path in the future." Spielberg said with a wry smile, "In today's era

, it’s no longer the same as it was in the last century.”

DreamWorks was founded in the early 1990s, and it was from that time that blockbusters investing hundreds of millions of dollars began to become the norm in Hollywood. Big investments and big productions also brought high box office and high revenue.

Risk! While the box office continues to hit new highs, many film companies will also encounter difficulties in capital turnover due to the failure of one or two large-scale movies at the box office. MGM Film Company is undoubtedly the best precedent!

Many Hollywood film companies, even those old film companies, cannot escape this fate without the backing of strong funds. As for DreamWorks, it is a pity that although its shareholders are very rich,

It itself does not have a parent company with strong funds to support it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
