Chapter 756 'Post-Catastrophic Era' for further attention
After the contract was signed, Qiu Electronics paid the final payment of 10 million US dollars in advance and an advance payment of 40 million US dollars.
This matter was carried out in extremely confidential terms, and within ASML, only a few senior executives and core members of the board of directors knew about it.
It can be said that the transaction was carried out without the knowledge of Samsung and the senior officials.
The burning building is the real butterfly wing, and the result of flapping is that the whole world has received a huge impact.
The United States is like this. If the economy is good, it will go to war. If the economy is bad, it will still go to war.
The world hegemons of this period are really looking around with their swords drawn and confused. It’s not that there are no sane people, but there are always those who make trouble. The drama of the Imperial Cemetery has officially begun.
Before the end of the year, when he thought nothing would happen again and he could rest peacefully for a few days, Fang Zhi was deeply surprised by an email from the United States. Marilyn worriedly expressed in the email that recently, Fox and Columbia were working together with
Several other bank shareholders approached and planned to acquire their shares.
The specific reason is that these two film companies are relatively weak in terms of movies, especially now that each company is launching blockbusters, such as MGM's "Windtalker" and other big productions, which has caused problems for the film careers of these two companies.
Extreme pressure.
After reading this email, Fang Zhe felt a bit funny. MGM likes to make large-scale productions as a traditional art. The key is who to use. Using Director Bai Ge to make a World War II movie is simply digging your own grave. That place in Hong Kong City
The biggest feature of emerging directors is that they have a small scope. No matter which director they are, as long as they shoot a genre with strong historical attributes, there will be no one who will not fail to hit the market.
Fang Zhe also admired Wu Baige for actually daring to touch on the theme of World War II. Later, he made "Red Cliff". This guy really didn't know anything about it. Fang Zhe believed that he wanted to make a good movie. But the bad thing was
This is the point where people have no self-awareness.
After thinking about it again and again, Fang Zhe replied to Marilyn by email, saying that MGM's behavior of betting on blockbusters was too risky. As a product of movies, there are so many movies every year, and more money is lost than less money is made. Summit Pictures still needs to
Stick to your own style, make one blockbuster movie every two years at most, and strictly review the script to make sure the selling points are reliable.
Then Fang Zhe said that there are still many benefits to small-scale production, and it is easier to control risks. Most of the films made in recent years are small-scale productions. Summit Pictures can be listed on the market, relying on continuous film profits. Don’t be jealous of other people’s big movies.
Production and large-scale production are not something that just any director can control. As for the bank shareholders, let's wait and see what happens.
Finally, he said that bank shareholders will definitely find it rare. The most valuable thing about Summit Pictures is not its film library, but its script library. The two Big Six companies also came here for this reason. Even if the bank shareholders take action, the price will be very high.
It may not be possible to negotiate, and once it hits a soft nail, it will seek to turn in another direction.
Fang Zhe also said that he would not sell his shares and would not easily let others replace Marilyn.
Within five minutes of replying to the email, another email from Marilyn came in, just saying "Thank you Boss for caring."
Fang Zhe was a little belatedly aware that for this matter, telephone contact was the most efficient way, so he actually sent an email. It can be seen that these words are tentative. Marilyn must be hoping to get something, but she
It's hard to say anything. After all, she has gained a lot now. For a person from a middle-class background to reach this point, she is the envy of many people.
Fang Zhe felt that it would be more beneficial to retain the shares of Pinnacle Pictures for the time being. After all, in the domestic literary and art circles, this thing is full of b-levels. Now, if Fanghua Pictures just says that they will not cooperate with them, they can make them
It is difficult for her (him) to get film contracts in the industry. For some artists who do not regard themselves as Chinese, Fang Zhe feels that she (he) cannot be allowed to live too comfortably.
Fang Zhe, who had made up his mind, decided to add some insurance. After picking up the phone and dialing, he said to Marilyn calmly: "I know it's hard for you. In Hollywood, how difficult is it for a woman to do something? I'm very worried."
I understand. Next time I go to the United States, I will take out a small share from my hand to reward you for your loyalty over the years."
Marilyn was holding the phone and chewing furiously, speaking incoherently and choking several times. Sure enough, when dealing with Americans, regardless of gender, talking about interests is the most effective. Fang Zhe asked her to tell other shareholders to try to understand their intentions.
.
After making this call, Fang Zhe called Liszt again and asked with a smile: "I heard that you are going to sell your shares?"
Of course, Liszt knew that this matter could not be hidden from Fang Zhe, so he said frankly: "The matter has not reached that point. Now it is just wishful thinking between the two companies and they took the initiative to contact. Goldman Sachs has already rejected it."
Fang Zhe said with a smile: "The first sentence is true, but there is something wrong with the last sentence. I am also a capitalist. When the profit is sufficient, I will sell not only the shares, but also the rope to hang myself. I refuse this outright.
If you say so, don’t bring it up to me. These moves of the two major companies are just for the script library of Summit Pictures, and all shareholders know it well."
This is not stated clearly, but the meaning is very clear. The source of Summit Pictures' script library is Fang Zhe's personal studio. And this personal studio has now entered an idle state, and it still has quite a lot of scripts on hand.
The script has not been released. Fang Zhe means, don't say I'm threatening you.
Liszt was also a little used to Fang Zhe's way of speaking, so he whispered nervously: "Fang, you can't do this. Setting up another film company will not be beneficial to everyone."
"Personally, I don't have any problem. After all, Summit Pictures is just my side job. If it doesn't work, I'll just sell the script and make a lot of money." That being said, how much is a script worth? Everyone has no idea.
The key to the matter is that Fang Zhe is a rich man, which is very annoying.
"Okay, Fang, tell me your suggestion." Lister could only compromise. He found that there was no way to deal with Fang Zhe. Back then, when the main force of Peak Fund was through Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs still had the ability to control Fang Zhe. Now.
Well, with so many banks involved, Goldman Sachs will only worry about Fang Zhe transferring the funds away.
If Peak Fund completely abandons Goldman Sachs' channels, it will be a big blow to Goldman Sachs, and it will also be a good thing that other investment banks are happy to see. Looking at the problem from another perspective, Wall Street has mastered the world's financial channels, and then uses these channels to reach out to and
The capital in your hands affects the entire world economy.
"Looking further ahead, if I have the idea of selling shares of Summit Pictures, it will definitely be in ten years' time."
Liszt definitely didn't understand what Fang Zhe said, and Fang Zhe didn't intend to explain further.
