After greeting two famous old reporters, Cecilio's first words were shocking.

"According to the information I have received, the development and utilization of Pioneer Square will attract many local entertainment industry giants. Perhaps they value more than just the business opportunities around the square!"

Even Wallace, who has always been known for his calmness, stopped at the next moment: "Is your information accurate?"

Cecilio smiled slightly and nodded: "And today and tomorrow, it is said that the small island country's Sani Company will come to Seattle, and there will be people from Columbia Pictures with him!"

Of the other three people present, only Liu Qingshan was still a little confused, but Wallace looked heavy and Russell even stood up.

Seeing Liu Qingshan's expression, Cecilio explained in a low voice: "Since last year, MGM has been planning to sell due to excessive debt. Many capital company giants have taken a fancy to this opportunity, and among them the most The one who is likely to succeed is this company from a small island country."

While listening, Liu Qingshan was also quickly communicating with the super star maker, and quickly obtained relevant information, which made him suddenly realize.

At that moment, he also had the idea of ​​participating in it for a moment, but with the huge investment of billions of dollars, he immediately gave up the unrealistic idea.

Even if there is a capital tycoon like Sashala Group standing behind him, he does not want to intervene at this time, because he knows that five years later, MGM, which is mired in debt, will still need to go bankrupt and reorganize. Maybe he can enter at that time. It's the best time.

Unknown to others, Liu Qingshan, who seemed to have a calm face, had several thoughts in this short period of time.

As two old people born and raised in the United States, they have deep feelings for the former Imperial Film Company, because most of the popular classic old movies were produced by this company.

Those beautiful memories that have accompanied the two elderly people throughout their youth and youth are also the common experiences of most elderly people in this country.

It is for this reason that MGM, which appeared on the auction block as early as 2001, was frequently killed by huge protests from the public.

But those people also know that Migaomi, which has become increasingly difficult to recover, will eventually be unable to escape the fate of being acquired. But seeing the reality that is about to become a reality, the group of people who are sad and crying for this can only watch helplessly and can do nothing. .

However, the film temple in their minds was most likely to be acquired by a company from a small island country, and they felt that they could not overcome this hurdle, so the two old people present expressed their sorrow.

After understanding the reason for their violent reaction, Liu Qingshan just laughed secretly in his heart, but he did not have much sympathy. It was not that he was gloating about the two old people, but that he was not very fond of the former film industry leader.

In other words, he doesn't have much favorable impressions of the eight major Hollywood studios, but his perception is different from reality. Before he has enough ability to subvert them, he still has to work hard to enter this global entertainment center to develop and strengthen himself.

So he pretended to be concerned: "In other words, the future owner of MGM will eventually fall into the hands of people from a small island country?"

Wallace nodded helplessly: "Currently, they have the highest bid, which is even higher than the second-ranked acquisition company by more than one billion US dollars. This is a life-saving straw for MGM. , the temptation is too great!”

“Can’t local capital forces join forces to acquire it?”

"In the past four years, countless people have tried to start this plan, but the debt on MGM is too high. Even if it is bought, it will still have to face countless debts. It is like a thousand-year-old building with a mountain of debt.

Turtle, while you spend a huge amount of money to own it, you also need to pay more to clean up the old things on its back!"

"I see, even if you are sold by a small island nation, you won't be able to get on the right track in a few years!" It was Lasse who spoke. "Perhaps in a few years, the situation that requires urgent capital injection from all aspects will destroy those small island countries.

dwarf!"

Liu Qingshan was startled. He didn't expect that Rather had such thorough observation. He came to the conclusion based on the information from later generations.

So he asked cautiously: "Mr. Rather, on what basis did you draw this conclusion?"

"It's very simple. It is normal after an acquisition to need huge sums of money to maintain the operation of the company. His money is not brought by the strong wind. If there are more movies that are not blockbusters and are released, the huge capital hole will only get bigger and bigger.

The bigger! The more important point is that many debt holders want MGM to go bankrupt so that their money can be recovered earlier, which is the most terrifying thing.”

Wallace agrees with this point of view: "But for MGM, bankruptcy is the worst choice, because it means that MGM will lose the "007" series. MGM will not be able to survive without "007"

It’s basically impossible to produce any blockbuster movies.”

Rather responded seriously: "So I think that even after a few more years of hard work, MGM's debt will only increase. It may be doomed that the former Imperial Film Company is no longer there."

Combining their opinions with the information he obtained, Liu Qingshan immediately had a preliminary idea in his mind.

But he won't tell these people what he thinks. Instead, he will make small moves to create some trouble for Sony people.

Then his face suddenly became serious: "Before, I was hesitant to choose to cooperate with UEN TV station, because everyone around the world knows that we Chinese hate the people of the small island country, but our Chinese Embassy explained to me, UEN

Although it belongs to CAS, it has most of its own autonomy in the radio industry, so it agreed to UEN's invitation."

His words have a deeper meaning, because CAS is Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary controlled by Sony International Capital.

However, CAS's internal business is separate. It has two main branches, Columbia Pictures and Screen Treasures. The former is mainly engaged in the production and distribution of films, while the latter is engaged in investment in independent production, television film production and emerging video tapes.

industry.

Although Screen Treasures existed earlier than Columbia Pictures, which was later acquired, it is the oldest subsidiary of Sony International.

Just because it has been in Europe and the United States for too long, UEN TV station, one of Screen Treasures' subsidiaries, has been penetrated by more and more local capital from the United States over the past few decades.

Although its largest shareholder is still Soni International, the internal business leadership has long been actually controlled by the local forces that formed a group.

In other words, it still bears the name of being owned by CAS. In fact, Sani Capital does not have much say at all.

Moreover, CAS's ability to control the local television industry in the United States is getting smaller and smaller. Even the upper and lower management of UEN TV station do not have even one person who belongs to CAS's management.

However, even if it still has a name, CAS has the right to send people to interfere with the business of the TV station, but the only thing that can really intervene is the tone of voice.

In other words, the management of UEN TV station has long been accustomed to the stern and inward-looking people coming from above. They deal with it in a cheerful manner, but then turn around and continue to go their own way.

What's ridiculous is that Screen Treasures, CAS and even the Sony Group didn't dare to offend them severely, otherwise the small shareholders behind the scenes would join forces and insist on leaving in anger, and they would lose even the few remaining rights to dividends.

.

Maybe those bonuses are invisible to Suni, but the qualifications to operate in the local TV industry in the United States are the most important.

They have not obtained this qualification but have struggled for decades. Losing this increasingly unworthy UEN TV station is equivalent to losing more than half of their business qualifications. The gain outweighs the loss!

Therefore, the current ridiculous and weird superior-subordinate relationship was formed. In fact, Liu Qingshan later realized that the embassy had not let him come in to mix things up when he finally chose UEN TV.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan pretended to be confused and hesitated in his words.

Others also knew that he had something to say, so they waited quietly without interrupting immediately.

Sure enough, Liu Qingshan went on to say: "So, as a Chinese, I instinctively don't have much favorable impression of Columbia Pictures. To be honest, now I regret cooperating with UEN TV!"

As soon as he said these words, the three bystanders were a little moved.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Although this TV station is not very powerful in the entire United States, it is the largest TV station in Seattle.

The reason why the Seattle government roped him in to become an honorary citizen was because of Liu Qingshan's terrifying influence.

Because he can be a guest on a program, he can attract attention from all over the country and even Europe and the United States. Now the eight major film studios in Hollywood have responded to the call, which is a living example.

Moreover, his performance in the show made it possible for an entertainment variety show for all people to spawn the carnival that will unfold around Pioneer Square.

What's more important is that after the birth of this type of carnival, it is not a gathering of countless people once a year, but a small gathering almost every week and a big gathering every two months. The resulting huge ability to attract business and attract tourists is

This is no longer a social value that a variety show can express.

In order to ensure the smooth continuation of this project, the city government has also reached an agreement with Liu Qingshan to exert unlimited influence in the future.

Seeing that Seattle would be able to flex its muscles and reap big dividends, this person suddenly had the idea of ​​retreating. This sign was full of hidden dangers.

Especially Wallace and Cecilio were even more nervous. One of them was a native of Seattle, and the other was a businessman who relied on this land and water to survive. They really didn't want Liu Qingshan to think about quitting.

And they also knew in their hearts that what caused this person's psychological change was the arrival of those people from the small island country.

So, before Wallace could speak, Cecilio couldn't help it.

He said anxiously: "I will report Mr. Liu's concerns to the city government through the channels of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. I will personally go to Mayor Thompson to report the matter immediately. No matter what, I must dispel Mr. Liu's concerns."

!”

Wallace was even more blunt: "I also hate those dwarfs. This kind of society is not like the 1980s or 1990s. At that time, the capital of the small island country was terrifying. Now they are in decline! Let's do this, Shanzi, you can leave for now

To calm down my unhappiness, I will also find someone to join forces and try to prevent the Colombian side from intervening!"
