"Mr. Bushi, congratulations!" Xia Tian smiled and congratulated Lao Bushi, "No, it should be changed to Mr. President now."

"Thank you." Lao Bushi also looked happy and comforted. He has been in politics for more than 30 years, and now he has finally ascended the throne. It is really a wish.

"We can win this time, thanks to you, Mr. Xia." Xiao Bushi smiled from the side, "Thank you for your great help."

"Yes, Mr. Xia, thank you for your strong support this time." Lao Bushi nodded in accordance with the situation.

He still remembers that a month ago, his polls were lagging behind his opponent Dukasky. It was the media under Xia Tian that made his opponent notorious and made him successfully turn the tables. Moreover, the donations made by summer are as high as tens of millions of dollars, ranking first in the personal political donations rankings.

These two points alone were enough to make him look at Xia Tian differently, not to mention that Xia Tian also promoted his son Xiao Bushi to do business together, which also made huge profits, so he was full of favor for Xia Tian, ​​a young man.

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. President, everyone is friends. Friends should have helped each other." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

"Yes, help each other." When Lao Bushi heard this, he understood and smiled.

The reason why Xia Tian supports him so much is not because he has great personal charm. Someone will give him money and name to that stop, but because he has a fancy to his power after he is elected.

The reason why he ran for president and gained power was not to serve the motherland and serve the people, but to the interests behind the president.

Being a president alone can't make money, because its annual salary is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and it only takes a million dollars for four years. However, the power held by the president can make him gain great benefits.

For example, many presidents work closely with large consortiums and will help them do a lot of things during their tenure. After they step down from the presidential throne, they can hold a position in the consortium and receive an annual salary of millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars. This kind of transfer of interests is open and honest, and it is completely in line with the law.

Lao Bushi also hopes that he can make money and that the Bushi family can always flourish. So of course he has to win over a big financial backer like Xia Tian and media tycoon.

...

After Lao Bushi was successfully elected, he immediately announced the news to his supporters and celebrated with them.

As a VIP on the table, Xia Tian also attended the celebration ceremony. Seeing the carnival crowd and the devastating fireworks, he couldn't help but feel swaying and thought of a lot for a moment.

The successful election of Lao Bushi means that he can boldly implement his merger and acquisition plan. Among the three major public TV stations, ABC, CBS and NBC, the first thing that was eliminated in summer was NBC TV.

Because this TV station is now owned by GE (General Electric). General Electric was founded by Thomas Edison and has a history of 100 years. It is the third largest consortium in the United States with a market value of nearly 50 billion US dollars.

This company is rich and powerful and can be called a giant in all fields, so it is quite difficult to buy NBC.

Summer is preparing to acquire one of two TV stations, ABC and CBS.

ABC TV actually originated from one of NBC TV. At that time, NBC owned Red Radio Network and Blue Radio Network, but was later ruled as a monopoly by the Federal Communications Commission, so it was split. NBC retained Red Nets, while the Nets were won by legendary tycoon Edward Nobel and formed the ABC.

(Red Net: Its backbone is Att's flagship Weaf in New York in the past and its radio stations in Atlanta, Memphis and Louisville, which are the most commercially successful and the most popular programs. Blue Net: It consists of radio stations established by RCA, Westinghouse and Ge in the past, mainly broadcasting elegant programs.)

ABC acquired the company for US$3.5 billion in 1985. Disney took over US$19 billion in 1995 in 1995. In just ten years, it increased by US$15.5 billion, which is a sky-high price.

But this is not the most expensive. In 1999, Viacom, Redstone's acquisition of CBS, spent $37 billion, which cost nearly twice the amount of money than Disney. This shows how popular these three major public TV stations are.

Therefore, it is necessary to start early in summer, otherwise, if the major giants buy all these companies later, it will cost several times the price if they want to buy them.

To buy one of the two TV stations, ABC and CBS, it will cost at least $6 billion. Although the summer is worth about $35 billion, the cash is far less than that much, so you have to find a way to raise some funds.

"Is it better to take out a loan or sell some company assets?" Xia Tian couldn't help thinking.

If he borrowed money from the bank, he was worried that the last squeezing crisis would occur again. After all, there were ones and two, and those people had not given up completely.

If he wants to sell his assets, he feels it is a pity. Most of his assets are properties. Office buildings, hotels, real estate, etc. have high appreciation potential in the future. If he starts selling now, it may not be a waste of money.

Moreover, if the market sells $6 billion in assets in one go, the market may not be able to eat it immediately. After all, even Li Jiacheng's consortium has a market value of only more than HK$40 billion. Once the time goes on, it is better to take a loan.

"It seems that we have to plan carefully." Xia Tian thought.

...

After the celebration ceremony, it was already the next morning.

In the summer, Wang Xiaoxian returned to the hotel to rest. In the evening, he attended the celebration party held by the Bushi family.

They had another day of fun, and on the third day they returned to Hollywood from Washington.

After returning to Hollywood, the post-production of "Eat Raw" began in the summer.

Generally speaking, in Hollywood, few directors can participate in post-production. After the filming is completed, they are basically nothing to do.

Unless well-known directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Coppola have the opportunity to participate in post-production and enjoy the right to edit the film.

The editing rights are crucial for the director of the film, because shooting a movie is equivalent to having a child, while editing a movie is equivalent to raising the child into a human being.

The director is equivalent to ten months of pregnancy, so he is naturally full of affection for his work. However, after the filming is completed, if the movie is not edited by himself, it is equivalent to the biological parents giving up their children. This is naturally a very painful thing.

If the editor and the director think inconsistently, they may cut the director's efforts and cut back the clips that the director thinks are not well shot, which is simply a waste of their efforts.

Therefore, many directors want to win the editing rights of the movie, and even try it out with their own hands. For example, when the master James Cameron was not yet famous, he directed a movie "Pizza 2". With his qualifications at that time, he naturally had no editing rights, so he secretly used his credit card to pry open the door of the editing room in the middle of the night to edit the movie.
