Chapter 607 (1/2)

That afternoon, Xiao Yunhai came to a cafe, and Kerry invited him to have coffee.

Although Kerry disguised it well, Xiao Yunhai could see that he seemed to be in trouble and was not in a good mood.

Xiao Yunhai asked thoughtfully, ”Kerry, are you worried about the cinema?”

Kerry nodded and said, ”yes. It is impossible for the eight film companies to win this lawsuit. Once the verdict is passed, I am afraid we will be in a very difficult situation for MGM

Xiao Yunhai said: ”is there no hope of winning?”

Kerry frowned and said, ”No. Even we all know that our cinemas do monopolize the distribution of movies, let alone the people outside. There is no excuse for this. Moreover, I believe the verdict will come soon. You know what? Many of the bosses behind these companies are big people. Even if the eight companies work together, they are not rivals. Our MGM theater has a market value of more than 50 billion US dollars, with more than 6000 screens, covering more than 30 states in the United States. It can bring us billions of dollars of income every year. It's a pity to sell it like this. ”

Xiao Yunhai asked, ”Kerry, what can I do for you?”

After all, Kerry must be so anxious that he can't find himself to drink coffee. After all, his father owns 56% of the cinema shares.

Kerry said: ”Shaw, it is certain that we will lose the case, but it is not that there is no other way. We are dealing with each other, hoping to ensure that we own at least 30% of the shares. I think there should be no problem with this goal. But we at MGM, no, we should be the Smiths, but we still want to have the dominance of the cinema. ”

Xiao Yunhai said: ”so you hope I can buy some shares and support you all. Is that right? ”

Kerry nodded and said, ”yes. I know you. I know that everything you do is for your own film. I don't want to be controlled by others. Just like MGM theater and universal cinema, you have the right to speak in it. In this way, you can release your film without any hindrance. What's wrong with me

Xiao Yunhai said: ”yes. I don't need the dominance of the cinema, and I don't need how much money the cinema can bring me. I just want to make my films freely and show them to the audience. I've already done everything in front of me, but there are some problems in cinema distribution. ”

Kerry said: ”so you are the most suitable partner for MGM. First, you have money. Second, you don't have the desire to control everything. If we sell you the shares of MGM, your films will be free and clear at MGM. With your support, we will be able to win the dominance of the cinema and evade the anti-monopoly law. This is a win-win situation for us. ”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”but, Kerry, I really can't afford it.”

MGM has a market value of more than $53 billion. If you buy 10% of MGM, it will cost 5.3 billion. Although Xiao Yunhai is rich, his most important goal is to build a Chinese cinema by the end of the year. If you buy MGM, his domestic cinema will be in trouble.

Kerry frowned and said, ”Xiao, are you rejecting me? Just one movie ”Jingwu hero” has brought you more than two billion dollars in net income. Now you tell me that you have no money. ”

Xiao Yunhai said: ”Kerry, you should know that next year we will lift the barriers to Chinese film and television. By the end of the year, the biggest cinema in our country, Huaxia cinema, will be sold. It's a 200 billion dollar behemoth, and I need it. Compared with America, China is my root. Do you understand? ”

Kerry said, ”so that's the idea you're fighting. In this way, you can exchange shares in magic effects for shares in MGM

Xiao Yunhai firmly said: ”Kerry, this matter, you don't want to think about it. I will never agree to this condition. ”

Magic special effects company is Xiao Yunhai's biggest dependence, especially after the development of new special effects technology, the market value of several times has become a certainty.

Although he won't hold on to it all the time, he hasn't reached the peak of the stock price. Xiao Yunhai will never sell.

Kerry frowned and said, ”is there no other way?”

Xiao Yunhai said: ”yes. You give me the cinema shares, I use magic as collateral, give me five years to pay off, that is not it? You're not short of money anyway. ”

Kerry thought about it and said, ”this is a way. How much are you going to buy? ”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”let's see the court's judgment a few days later. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Maybe you can get more than 40% of the shares

Kerry nodded and said, ”OK, I'll go back and report to my father. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Your ”Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone” has sold 63 million copies around the world, which can be said to have swept the whole world. Xiao, do I know? I'm blue now. ”

Xiao Yunhai said: ”most of them have been taken away by the four publishing houses. Even if I sell 100 million copies, I will only get 30% of the profits.”Kerry said with a smile, ”but the books behind you are the big earners.”

Xiao Yunhai said definitely: ”that is of course.”

They chatted for a while and went back.

That night, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Kerry, saying that his father agreed. We will deal with the relevant matters after the court pronounces the judgment.

MGM's plans are good, but they will never keep up with the changes.

Xiao left Los Angeles the next morning when the economic crisis erupted like a volcano.

The speed and influence of the whole process are incredible.
