Chapter 1014 (1/2)
Xiao Yunhai wanted to be free before, and didn't want his films to be bound by the outside world. Now that he has Yanhuang cinema, the North American cinema can't bring him greater benefits in the future. It's better to abandon it and exchange money to invest in more profitable industries.
Kristi originally thought it would be very difficult to persuade Xiao Yunhai to accept her suggestion. However, after only saying a few words, Xiao Yunhai agreed, which made her feel extremely admirable for Xiao Yunhai's courage and determination.
You know, in 10 minutes, you can't decide to give up a project that can bring you tens of billions of dollars a year. Even those Wall Street tycoons will be very cautious in the face of this problem. At least, they should hold a shareholders' meeting. They will not let go unless they study it thoroughly over and over again. In this way, the best time is often lost.
At the beginning, Kristi provided many good suggestions to the old owners, but they all had problems in the decision-making stage, which caused Kristi's dissatisfaction. This is also the reason why she does not want to stay in a large company.
For the first time, Christie said with a look of admiration: ”Mr. Shaw, I have to say that you are the most courageous person I have ever met.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”I always think so. But what I want to tell you is that it's not easy to sell them. At the beginning, I promised a series of unequal treaties in order to be able to buy shares of cinemas from those capitalists. That includes a 10% premium if you want to sell it, and the buyer must be the person who sold it to me. I can't sell it to anyone else unless they don't buy it. ”
Christie frowned and said, ”Mr. Shaw, I don't understand. How could you agree to such a condition? That's ridiculous. ”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”when I bought these cinemas, it was just the outbreak of the economic crisis. In addition, the government strictly prohibited the eight major Hollywood film companies from monopolizing the cinemas. This adopted cheap prices and such unequal conditions to obtain some shares. Otherwise, how could they be so kind to buy it for me. By the way, with the exception of paramount, they own 20% of their shares without any restrictions. ”
Christie said with a wry smile: ”it seems that you are really for the film, otherwise, any normal businessman would not agree to such a condition.”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”I'll leave these matters to you. When dealing with MGM, be gentle. They and I are strategic partners. ”
Christie nodded and said, ”I will focus on this in the near future. Mr. Xiao, I have calculated that you can get at least 40 billion US dollars. Will you give us some money? We have no money now, and there are many profitable industries out there. ”
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, ”I can leave half of it for you. However, we have agreed in advance that with this money, you will not have to worry about the 20 billion dollars you have wagered. ”
Christie said happily, ”great. With this 20 billion, all our business plans can be implemented. ”
Xiao Yunhai joked: ”you give me this idea, will not be for this purpose.”
”We don't do such unprofessional things,” Christie giggled
Xiao Yunhai said: ”all the materials are in China. I'll ask my wife to send someone to bring them. Ms. Christie, if you're all right at noon, may I have the pleasure of treating you to lunch? ”
”It's my pleasure to have lunch with you, the richest man of the future,” Christie said with a smile
At noon, they found a good restaurant and had an authentic Italian steak.
Looking at eight and a half catties of beef being stuffed into the stomach by Xiao Yunhai, Kristi rarely showed a very surprised expression.
After dinner, Xiao Yunhai personally drove Kristi home. He went to Kerry and came to Boeing company together.
For Xiao Yunhai such a big customer, Boeing naturally did not dare to neglect, gave him full respect.
Under the introduction of Kerry's friend Mason, Xiao Yunhai knew that rich men like him have their own private planes, some even many.
Last year alone, Boeing sold more than 100 aircraft, and the accident repair rate was basically zero.
Xiao Yunhai is going to buy an airliner capable of carrying 30 passengers. The appearance may be worse, but the safety performance must be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
According to Xiao Yunhai's requirements, Mason recommended three models for him.
To say that Boeing is indeed the world's most powerful aircraft manufacturing company, the airport alone, to meet the requirements of Xiao Yunhai there are more than 10.
Xiao Yunhai carefully looked around, and finally chose the same type of aircraft as the U.S. president's air force No.1. It was only several grades worse in safety, but compared with other private aircraft, it was already the best.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, together with the purchase of flight routes, handling all kinds of cumbersome procedures and so on, which cost him 530 million US dollars.He remembered that the airliner in his previous life was only tens of millions of dollars, but it was worth it.
