2966 [Won MGM]
Jay Chou’s meeting with Xia Tian only lasted half an hour and did not talk about any profound truths. However, on the way back, Jay Chou still felt dizzy, as if he was dreaming just half an hour.
He no longer remembers what Xiatian said to him, but only remembers that Xiatian is very handsome, friendly, and respects him very much, which makes him laugh from his heart.
"Silly boy, what are you thinking? You are laughing so happily?" Wu Zongxian asked with a smile while driving.
"Brother Xian, Mr. Xia is such a great person?" Jay Chou laughed.
"That's natural. Mr. Xia is the best person in the world. Without Mr. Xia, there would be no me!" Wu Zongxian said affirmatively, "Alun, you must do your best in the future. Don't let Mr. Xia down."
"Yes, Brother Xian." Jay Chou nodded, full of gratitude to Xia Tian.
Without summer support, he might have to continue to be Wu Zongxian's assistant, earning only more than NT$10,000 a month, and he couldn't even afford to rent a house, so he could only sleep on the company's sofa.
Now he can make his debut smoothly and has the hope of working with Michael Jackson. It's really great, it feels like he's dreaming.
...
Just as Xia Tian met Jay Chou and others, in the United States, MGM Chairman Kirk Kkerian decided to sell MGM Pictures and MGM Grand Hotel to Xia Tian for several months of negotiations with the conditions of 3 billion US dollars and 1.8 billion US dollars in debt.
After considering it, Xia Tian decided to agree to his conditions.
In addition to debt, MGM Pictures is worth $700 million. Although MGM Grand Hotel is the largest hotel in Las Vegas, its valuation is only about $1.2 billion.
So if the two are added together, they can be won with only 2 billion US dollars. But when it comes to buying and selling, of course it is impossible to decide based on the price of the item itself, otherwise there would be no businessman.
Therefore, it is actually quite cost-effective to spend an extra billion US dollars in summer to win MGM. You should know that in the past life, Sony spent a total of 4.5 billion US dollars to acquire MGM, which is about to go bankrupt, and it does not include the asset of the MGM Hotel.
And summer just made hundreds of billions of dollars and spent 3 billion dollars to buy MGM, it was just a piece of cake and it was not difficult at all.
After acquiring MGM, Xia Tian obtained all of MGM's assets, including a huge library of up to 2,000 movies and more than 10,000 TV series, MGM Studios and Clinics.
The film library includes the famous "007" series. Although this IP has a history of half a century, it is still dazzling. Every new work released can still attract a lot of attention.
In his previous life, MGM Pictures relied on the continuous launch of new works of "007" to replenish its blood. Now "James Bond" has fallen into Xia Tian's hands, and he can make good use of this IP.
The MGM Grand Hotel, as the largest hotel in Las Vegas, is also a very well-known casino. After taking over in the summer, it can just be used to intervene in Macau’s casino business.
The so-called gambling is human nature. From ancient times to the present, there have been no shortage of gamblers in the world. Macau guards the huge market with a population of 20 to 3 billion in East Asia, so naturally there is no shortage of gamblers. So as long as it is well operated, Macau casinos will be another powerful tool to attract money in the summer.
...
The news of the success of MGM in summer was immediately reported by the media, which immediately caused an uproar in the industry.
Although MGM is no longer famous as the "Eight Major Hollywood Pictures Companies", it is still an old giant. Unexpectedly, this giant is now acquired by summer.
Fortunately, Summer sold Tianxia Products to AOL last year. Otherwise, his power in Hollywood would be extremely powerful and could not stop it, and he would have covered the sky with just one hand.
Even so, Xia Tian now has two major companies in Hollywood, Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures, and its power is also remarkable.
Most people expressed support for MGM's acquisition in summer.
Because MGM has been lonely for more than 20 years and has been sold around, and has not found a good owner and brought it back to glory.
Xia Tian is not only a super rich man, but also a very talented filmmaker. Under his leadership, I believe that MGM can regain its strength and hear the lion roar again.
Of course, some people also believe that Xia Tian, as a Chinese, has too much influence in Hollywood and should be restricted.
But just say something like this in private. Now anti-racial discrimination is becoming increasingly mainstream in American society. Using race as an excuse to attack Xia Tian will hurt the enemy by hurting one hundred and hurting one thousand.

I spent a total of one week in Taiwan in the summer. It was not that he didn't want to stay longer, but that the U.S. Nasdaq stock index began to decline, which indicates that the Internet bubble was about to explode.
Although most Internet companies and investors will suffer heavy losses, for speculators like Xia Tian, this Internet bubble explosion contains huge business opportunities.
(First release, domain name (please remember_three
According to statistics, in this Internet bubble, the market value of 5200 billion US dollars evaporated, and 50% of Internet listed companies closed down.
Even the Internet companies that survived, their stock prices fell to the price of cabbage, such as Sougu, Groom, and NetEase's stock prices all fell below one dollar.
Amazon's stock price fell from $113 at its peak to $6, a drop of more than 90%; Cisco's stock price fell from $80 at its peak to $13, a drop of 84%...
If he takes the opportunity to short Nasdaq in the summer and then take the opportunity to buy at the bottom, then he will earn at least $300 billion.
However, not everyone can be as smart as summer. Stock analysts believe that the decline of the Nasdaq index is just a temporary adjustment and will not affect the overall situation.
Public opinion still praises Internet entrepreneurship. As long as those Internet companies are successfully listed, they can raise hundreds of millions of dollars and produce several or even hundreds of thousands of millionaires.
This story of getting rich with a strong "American Dream" color not only stimulates investors from all walks of life to follow up, hoping that after the company goes public, it will bring benefits to them, but also stimulates investors to pour into the stock market, and crazy enough to buy those valuable stocks.
So under the incitement of public opinion, there are still a lot of fools, holding money with their eyes closed and plunging into the stock market, which is no longer in seconds.
The addition of these people has delayed the collapse of the stock market to a certain extent. In the following period, the Nasdaq index continued to fluctuate, up and down, and it seemed that it was really adjusting.
However, Xia Tian knew that the Internet bubble was definitely lost, so he ignored the blind blows in public opinion and firmly shorted the Nasdaq index.
