"Add to the American citizenship?!" Xia Tian was stunned, then shook his head firmly, "This method is not possible."

Although many Hong Kong people dream of immigrating to the United States, Xia Tian did not have this plan because he was proud of being a Chinese and was unwilling to do such a thing as betrayal of the clan and forgetting his ancestors.

"Boss, why not? Being an American citizen will not only not suffer any losses, but will be very beneficial to you." Seeing that Xia Tian actually refused, Michelle immediately said in confusion.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, with the most prosperous economy, the broadest market, the most developed technology, and the most prosperous culture... I don’t know how many people in the world are proud of immigrating to the United States.

Many of the investments in the summer are also in the United States, Microsoft, Oracle, ADOBE, Intel, Cisco, Qualcomm... The total value now exceeds $2 billion.

He has such huge assets in the United States. If he becomes a US citizen, he will be a real American rich man. Not only can he enjoy all the benefits in the United States, but it will also be of great benefit to his future investment.

Because the United States is also quite sensitive to the inflow of foreign capital, the "Exon-Florio National Security Act" promulgated in 1950 has a "Exon-Florio National Security Act" that involves investment projects involving national security and social public interests and some relatively sensitive industries, and some special restrictions and specific provisions on market access for foreign investment.

"I know, but I still don't want to be American." Xia Tian refused firmly again.

He knew that there were indeed many benefits to becoming an American citizen, but he would rather be a dignified Chinese.

Chinese civilization has a long history of 5,000 years. For most of the time, it was called the world's number one power. Although it was once down and out, it is now catching up.

At the beginning of the new century, its economic scale will surpass Japan and become the second largest economic power in the world. In the foreseeable future, it will surpass the United States and become the world's largest power.

Although the United States has been prosperous for a while in this century, it has been full of dangers and declines. After entering the new century, it will gradually decline.

Although Xia Tian is not an extremely angry young man, he has a strong identity with his Chinese and is unwilling to become a Japanese devil in the United States.

Moreover, when he acquired Hollywood Film Company this time, he was more willing to be a conqueror as a Chinese than to become an American citizen and become an assimilated person.

Furthermore, nationality is identity recognition. Xia Tian travels through time and has changed his identity once. If he changes his nationality now, he really doesn’t know who he is.

"Boss, I don't understand." Michelle frowned and couldn't figure it out, not understanding why Xia Tian was so stubborn.

"Forget it, I can't explain this matter clearly. Anyway, I will not change my nationality, let them think of other ways." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.

Changing nationality is definitely not the only way to resolve the crisis. Back then, Sony, led by Morita, acquired Columbia Pictures, but did not change his nationality; Wanda Group, led by Wang Lin, also did not change his nationality either. So there must be other ways.

"Okay then." Michelle nodded, "Boss, I will ask them to draw up a plan as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xia Tian nodded.

...

At noon, Michelle arranged for people from McKinsey, Bain, Boston and Blackstone to meet with Summer. Then, according to his request, he made a "Project Proposal" to explain their understanding of the project, consulting ideas, progress arrangements, project budgets, etc.

In fact, the top three companies were originally just fine. The three of them are the three most powerful management consulting companies in the United States. Their clients are many of the top 500 customers, which can fully meet the needs of summer. However, Xia Tian still invited Blackstone Group to come because he was very interested in this company and wanted to deal with them.

He met three companies one after another, and Xia Tian introduced his request. After hearing this, the three companies also expressed their interest in taking the task, and then they all went back to prepare. Xia Tian was going to leave the United States in a week, and they had to come up with a plan before he left the country.

The last one to meet in summer was Blackstone Group.

"Boss, this is Mr. Peter Peterson, President of Blackstone." Michelle led an old man about sixty years old into the room. "Mr. Peterson, this is our boss Mr. Xia Tian."

"Hello, Mr. Xia, I'm very happy to see you." Peterson smiled and said, "Hello" still speaks in Mandarin. Although it is a bit strange, it shows sincerity.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, stood up and shook hands with Peterson, "Hello Mr. Peterson, I'm very happy to see you too!"

The former Secretary of Commerce of the United States, equivalent to a first-class official in the mainland, is now serving himself, making summer feel dizzy.

"Mr. Xia is so young and promising." Peterson looked at Xia Tian and praised with a smile. "I have seen so many young people, but none of them are as capable as you, you are simply a genius!"

"Mr. Peterson is polite." Xia Tian smiled. "I admire you very much when you were sixty years old."

Most people are already old men and women by the age of 60, and they have long lost the intention to struggle. They play boxing, bend around, play cards, raise flowers, feed fish every day... they are all their lives.

But Peter Peterson was sixty years old, but he was not convinced at all. He retired from the company's high position and gave up his power and generous treatment. He would rather come from the main business. This old horse alone has the courage to be determined by thousands of miles away.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Peter Peterson laughed happily when he heard Xia Tian say this.

"Okay, Mr. Peterson, let's stop praising each other, let's talk about serious things first." Xia Tian said again.

"Okay, I want to ask Mr. Xia, which one are you targeting for this acquisition?" Peterson nodded and then asked.

Different companies have different plans. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

"I am planning to acquire Columbia-Samsung Pictures this time," Xia Tian said.

Columbia - Samsung Pictures is one of the six major Hollywood giants, with assets including Columbia Pictures, Samsung Pictures, Columbia Pictures and TV Series, as well as 820 theaters in 180 places in the United States.

The reason why summer is preparing to acquire this company is because among the six major Hollywood giants, this company is easier to acquire.

Although Disney has always ranked the lowest in the six major Hollywood giants, its production route has always been mainly cartoons, and it makes profits through anime image, theme parks and derivative authorizations. Therefore, although it does not make much money, it does not have the trouble of funds. Therefore, it is unwilling to be acquired by itself, and it is not easy for outsiders to force it to acquire.

Fox was just acquired by media tycoon Murdoch. He is using Fox's TV station to build his fourth largest TV network, so he should not have any plans to take action for the time being.

Universal Pictures was acquired by American Music Company. Although its performance was not good in recent years, American Music Company has no intention of making a move. If it insists on acquiring it, it will be a sky-high price. In the past life, Panasonic Electric spent $6.6 billion to acquire American Music Company.

Although Paramount has not had a good life in the past two years, he is still very proud. Especially in the previous years, under the management of Barry Diller, he invested in filming such well-known and popular movies as "Grease", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Moonlight, Panic", and "Beverly Hills Police Detective". Therefore, the market value is still as high as $7 billion, which is not something that can be involved in the summer.

Warner Pictures is the most prosperous one among the six major film companies. In recent years, it has produced many well-known and popular movies, such as "The Deadly Weapon", "Superman", "Ghost Catcher", "The Seven Treasures", "The Little Monster", etc.

Coupled with assets such as Warner Records, DC Comics, etc., the total value of Warner Company has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and it is not something that summer can get involved.

In comparison, only Columbia-Samsung Film Company is worth considering.

The company's assets are worth about one billion dollars. In 1982, Coca-Cola acquired its 49% stock worth $750 million.

However, since it was acquired by Coca-Cola, Columbia Pictures' operating conditions have not improved much, but have continued to decline, so its assets are depreciating further.
