Chapter 746 People's hearts are unpredictable! (seeking subscription)
Of course, Mayer may also be a professional manager of this company in the future. After all, it is still rare to have such a capable president in Hollywood.
As for MGM's current development in Hollywood, with the support of DreamWorks and Robert Iger, it will be difficult for the company not to develop.
With the support of two great directors, Spielberg and Cameron, MGM is currently the fastest growing among the eight major Hollywood giants, and will catch up with Disney in a few years.
"Boss, now the risk of shooting originals is getting higher and higher. It is not an option to continue like this. I wonder if we should pay for the comic company Marvel?"
"Are they short of money?"
"Lack, why not, now they are selling some superheroes to regenerate blood, Spiderman was directly bought by Warner for ten years of copyright, and..."
After listening to Robert Iger's words, Zhao Hong fell into deep thought.
Marvel Comics is a comic giant in the United States that is as famous as DC Comics.
It was founded in the 40s and was officially named Marvel in 8000. It owns Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Wolverine, Daredevil, Ant-Man, and Ghost Rider. and more than [-] comic book characters and superhero teams such as the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
At the end of 42.4, the Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel for US$[-] billion, obtaining the ownership of most of the comic characters.
In the time to come, Hollywood will be Marvel heroes sweeping the world, basically hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars are raging all over the world.
It can be said that this is a gold mine.
At present, Marvel has not been on the right track. It has not produced a few blockbuster movies and made the Marvel series popular. It seems that two films have been filmed, but they have not made much money.
Therefore, many film companies actually don't pay much attention to it. The main reason is that most of these comic characters are outdated.
There are not too many truly influential heroes.
Also, superhero movies don't make much money these days, or they aren't very popular.
The innovation ability in Hollywood is not bad now, and many original good movies are released every year.
This greatly meets the needs of the audience.
Zhao Hong knew that buying Marvel now was a sure-profit deal, but he was a little pretentious and felt that if he made hero movies one after another, it would be a betrayal of his own nation.
After all, these heroic movies are going to be broadcast all over the world. At that time, even passing on some American values can be regarded as a kind of cultural export.
If I do this, will I become a leading party?
But then I thought, if I don't do this thing myself, others won't do it?
It's better to be in your own hands than to be in someone else's hands!
Robert looked at Zhao Hong expectantly. He has been managing MGM for several years now and is no longer the newcomer who was a little overwhelmed when he first started.
The company has developed well in the past few years. Apart from his own ability, most of them are planned by his boss. While he admires this, a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat also lingers in his mind.
I want to do something that will impress my boss.
Marvel is a company he has investigated for a long time. He believes that after the acquisition of this company, it will greatly complement his current company.
In his anticipation, Zhao Hong slowly said: "Yes, but we must be cautious and develop it reasonably when developing this thing. This stuff is too big a blow to other original creators."
When Robert heard Zhao Hong's voice of agreement, he felt like the sound of heaven!
Therefore, he nodded vigorously to whatever Zhao Hong said next, indicating that he would carry out what he wanted.
"Oh, how much cash does the company have now?"
Zhao Hong thought that the company was going to acquire Marvel, so she wanted to know something about the company.
Robert heard what the boss said, so he said with a smile on his face: "Boss, since our company has no debts from the beginning, the profits made by our company have not been touched in the past four years, except for the company upgrade. , so almost a billion dollars."
"The acquisition of Marvel is more than enough. I estimate that Marvel is worth [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars. At that time, we can immediately start shooting two major Marvel productions."
Zhao Hong was also relieved to hear this situation. The company has already made back its cost, which made him feel very comfortable. This investment has really paid off.
It is ten times, or even dozens of times the profit.
At present, the gambling tycoon Kirk Kerkorian may have fainted in the toilet. He, the king of gambling in Las Vegas, does not know how much water he has to pump to make so much money.
I can't do it for the rest of my life.
But he will never know what the company will be like in his hands, and he will never want to be as brilliant as it is now!
What Zhao Hong did was actually saving a giant that was about to lose, United Artists.
Kirk Kerkorian is simply the sinner of these two companies. He didn't think about developing well, but only wanted to draw blood. He is really a shit stick.
Zhao Hong and Robert chatted for a long time, MGM is also going to be listed, this is one of his feelings.
In the United States, such a large media group is not allowed to be privatized for too long. This industry is different from other industries. It has always been in the spotlight and has received considerable attention from the government.
Besides, this is a world where cakes are divided. MGM has always made a lot of money, and many people want a piece of the cake. If this channel is blocked, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not go astray.
For example, put forward a slogan that Hollywood is the Hollywood of the American people, and call for a boycott of all DreamWorks products, etc.
Only unexpected, not impossible.
At that time, no matter how bad excuses you make, you can make excuses.
What's more, the company's management also wants to enjoy the fruits of the company's development. More or less, when they go public, they can get a certain amount of shares, and everyone can benefit from it.
If Zhao Hong forcibly interrupts this process, the company will be easily affected.
Besides, going public has many benefits. With more shareholders, the company's influence will expand rapidly, and it will not be so easy for someone to deal with MGM.
"The company is going to be listed. We just have to wait for the matter at United Artists to be settled. DreamWorks over there is going to withdraw its shares. We still have a large number of shares in our hands, so it will take more than a year to handle it. As for DreamWorks, MGM will go public in two years."
"During this period, you have to manage the company well. At that time, I will give a certain amount of original stock according to the credit. If Mayer can have it, you will too!"
"Don't worry! Boss, I will manage the company well, and our company will definitely reach another level by then."
Robert was fascinated by the picture drawn by Zhao Hong, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Isn't he working hard to double his worth!
Being here at MGM not only allows him to realize his life aspirations, but also makes him a billionaire. Such a good thing is really hard to find.
You must know that the original eight giants in Hollywood have all matured. As a professional manager, it is really difficult to obtain shares in the company's development process.
Only two delisted companies such as MGM and United Artists created by DreamWorks have the chance to get rich along with the management.
This is also the reason why MGM has been developing rapidly in the past few years, because everyone has a lot to do, and they all hope that when they go public, as employees with outstanding performance, they can get a certain share reward. Being a millionaire is not a dream.
Seeing Robert's joyful look, Zhao Hong was also moved in her heart, and the benefits are the most touching!
This young man in his 30s was still trembling when Zhao Hong first asked him to be the CEO, but now he looks confident and energetic.
And I can vaguely see some ambitions in my eyes.
Don't be afraid if you are ambitious, just be afraid that he has no ambition.
Zhao Hong is indifferent to this situation. DreamWorks currently has 10,000+ employees, so don't have too many ambitious ones, but they all honestly make money for the company.
They will not change jobs, mainly because this platform is too big to accommodate their ambitions.
In addition to meeting Meyer and Robert, Zhao Hong also had a good chat with Liang Botao.
Investments in Europe and the United States are mainly handled by Liang Botao, so Zhao Hong is not very clear about many places. This time he finally came here, and he just stayed at the headquarters of the American branch for a few days.
Learn about it carefully every day and understand the investment situation here in detail.
Generally speaking, they are good, but there are still some examples of investments that have failed. There are also some sunset industries that the company has already invested in.
Under Zhao Hong's instructions, these investments were abandoned one after another.
It can be said that Zhao Hong stayed here for five days, and many companies in the United States ushered in an avalanche. Many companies that were about to go bankrupt, after DreamWorks Investment Company withdrew their capital, they ushered in bankruptcy, and there was no other way to go. .
In this way, the loss was stopped in time, and the company directly got back more than 1 million US dollars.
Zhao Hong's casual move directly frightened Liang Botao, and made him extinguish a lot of thoughts that had been a little cocky in the past few years.
Your uncle is still your uncle!
Zhao Hong stayed here for half a month, mainly because she couldn't stop once she got involved in many things, and she felt uncomfortable if she ignored many things.
Also, Sophie is a very pleasing girl.
During this time in the United States, she has been by Zhao Hong's side all the time, whenever she is called.
Attentive service, always obedient.
It's really a bit lingering.
Of course, Zhao Hong went to the University of Southern California once again during the period, which made Feihong very happy.
"Hong, are you really going back? I still have a lot of moves that I haven't used yet!"
Sophie looked at Zhao Hong with winking eyes, her body wrapped around someone like a beautiful snake.
The exhalation is like orchid, and the fragrance is bursts, which makes people really drunk and unwilling to wake up.
"Hehe, I have been here for a long time, and there are still many things to deal with in Xiangjiang! We can meet again in Berlin in February next year. Of course, if you are really lonely, you can also come to Xiangjiang to find me in advance .”
"As for the moves that are not unlocked, take your time! It will take me a lifetime to solve them."
At the end, Zhao Hong said a little wretchedly.
This Gu Liang is really too open, there is nothing he dare not play with, and he is just a younger brother in front of him.
When Zhao Hong returned to Xiangjiang, it was already the end of December, and this trip to Hollywood was very necessary.
In many cases, it is better not to shake hands too much. It is easy to cause problems if you do not understand some situations.
It is very dangerous for the company not to understand the mentality of the people below.
"Sister, I originally wanted to prevent MGM from going public, but I looked at it and found that this thing will not work. Many people in the company are waiting for the company to go public, and many financial institutions in the United States are also looking forward to MGM. Mei's listing, although this general trend can be suppressed, the backlash is still not small..."
"Well, if you do business with them, you have to follow their rules. In fact, I also hope to be listed, so that we can find some powerful partners."
When Zhao Hong returned home, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner was not cooked yet.
The family members are back, and everyone is chatting in the living room.
Zhao Hong will talk about this trip to Hollywood.
He is talking now while hugging the little girl Yaya. As for Wenwen, he can only watch his sister kicking her legs in Laodou's arms, her eyes rolling wildly.
"Hongzi, how much will you earn after Lianmei is dealt with?", Lao Dou heard Zhao Hong's words and said casually.
"Hehe, it's not too much. It's a small fight. This should be about 40 billion U.S. dollars!"
Zhao Hong and the elder sister looked at each other and said.
The old man stared wide-eyed, how did this kid talk, more than 40 billion US dollars is not much, why don't you go to heaven?
"Just brag about it, kid! I haven't encountered such a lucrative thing a few times." Lao Dou said angrily.
He continued: "Hey, after Japan made a fortune this time, I don't know what to invest in. There is a lot of money in the bank, so it's really difficult!"
When Zhao Hong heard Lao Dou's words, she thought about it carefully to see if there was any good business and asked her bank to do it.
He suddenly thought of a relatively marginal business, that is, loaning rubles at this time. In the near future, this thing will be paper. If the loan is quickly converted into US dollars, the debt will be repaid in rubles.
If you come and go again, you can make a lot of money.
But think about it or forget it, this thing is too risky, if one is not good, it may be a fire.
When Lao Dou saw Zhao Hong's eyes lit up, he knew he had an idea.
So he hurriedly said: "Quick, if you have any good ideas, let everyone hear them."
Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhao Hong thought for a while and said: "Forget about what I think, I can only talk about it, and forget about actions, what I think of is drinking blood on the old man... "
Zhao Hong told the story of Lao Maozi's impending failure. Everyone here has a deep understanding. DreamWorks Shipping Company is the largest smuggling group these days.
Everyone knows what happened to Big Brother.
