Start from 1980

Chapter 301 I have to congratulate you

Little Alan Ladd hastily pricked up his ears.

Su Chen went on to say: "Whatever the original plan is, we will develop it first. Except for what I said, there is no need to make too many changes."

"Okay boss, I understand." Alan Ladd Jr. said.

Su Chen's words reassured him that as long as he doesn't move the film department, then his position as the CEO will be fine, and if it is true as Su Chen said, there should be no high-level airborne executives. The phenomenon that he squeezed away.

But everyone in the workplace knows that the probability of this is around 50%, and maybe one day someone will pop up and squeeze him away.

"I plan to increase your salary by 5%-10% on the basis of your current salary, but buddy, you have to show your ability, at least let me, the new boss, see where you can raise your salary." Su Chen Said.

Alan Ladd Jr. smiled and said, "Boss, I believe you are a wise boss."

After chatting about something irrelevant, and typing the approximate time Su Chen would go to the company, Alan Ladd Jr. offered to leave.

He has learned a lot from this trip, at least he knows what kind of person the new boss is, and he also knows what the new boss's plan for the company is.

Although the boss is very young, he seems to be far-sighted and has not messed around with the company.

He was afraid that someone who didn't understand and pretended to understand would come and mess around. Then 20th Century Fox might not be far from bankruptcy.

Alan Ladd Jr. left the hotel and went straight back to the company.

He wants to do the things arranged by Su Chen first.

Such as meeting Tom Rothman and Chris Wedge for DreamWorks Animation and Searchlight Independent.

And Su Chen went upstairs to take a shower, ate something briefly, called his home in Boston, chatted with his two girlfriends in turn, and then began to rest.

……

In the following time, Su Chen rushed to join Bernice and the others, and joined the negotiations to acquire several TV stations under Capital Media Company.

Because of Hugh Eaton's help, Su Chen spent another [-] million to invest in Bush Jr.'s company, so the voice of the White House changed, and it became that the United States is a free country. As long as Su Chen does not own newspapers and TV stations at the same time, that is No US laws are triggered and no change of citizenship is required.

Even so, Su Chen still spent 15.5 billion US dollars, plus the purchase price of 20th Century Fox, he spent almost [-] million US dollars more than Murdoch in the original world.

If it weren't for this rich man who keeps getting divorced and dividing his property, he probably wouldn't need to spend so much money.

In other words, Deng Murdoch Wendi is only a sophomore in high school now, and I don’t know if she can get involved with Murdoch in the future...

On the whole, the $30 billion loan from Wells Fargo Bank, in addition to the acquisition of several TV stations under 20th Century Fox and Capital Media, and the $24 million invested in Bush Jr., has already gone to more than $[-] billion.

Hugh Eaton was also taken aback by such a fast spending speed, and called Su Chen overnight: "Dude, are you crazy? Spending so much money all at once?"

"Mr. Eaton, there is no way. Now Murdoch is also disrupting the situation. Your team at Wells Fargo and I worked hard to keep the price at US$15.5 billion."

Su Chen sighed: "If I don't make it, these companies can only be transferred to you Wells Fargo Bank. It would be best if you are willing to give me a reduction or exemption of interest for three to five years."

"Sorry, this is impossible. If you have time, I hope you can come to Washington. I want to introduce George Walker to you." Hugh Eaton said.

George Walker is Bush Jr., and his father is the vice president of the United States at the moment.

Su Chen thought for a while, and said, "I really don't have time right now. I'm planning to buy the animation studio owned by Lucas, as well as the establishment of a TV network, and the independent company."

"Okay, let's talk about it when you're done," Hugh Eaton said.

Su Chen's big purchase in Hollywood naturally attracted a lot of media coverage.

"20th Century Fox changed ownership overnight, and the buyer came from the mysterious China. Could it be that China's economy has surpassed that of the United States without knowing it?"

"Mysterious Chinese buyers acquired several TV stations under 20th Century Fox and Capital Media Corporation overnight. With the reform and opening up of their leaders, the Chinese suddenly appeared in Hollywood with such a large amount of money. Does this indicate that the Chinese economy is coming? A terrible place?"

"The staff of 20th Century Fox changed bosses overnight, and the new boss has successively acquired TV stations and film companies. Does it indicate that Hollywood is about to return to yesterday's glory?"

"Will the Chinese billionaires appearing in such a tough stance deal a devastating blow to Hollywood?"

"..."

There are all kinds of headlines in the newspapers, just like the yellow peril theory decades ago, as long as the Chinese make any noise, it is like digging their ancestral graves.

Su Chen didn't care about the news in the newspaper, and led the Wells Fargo team to acquire Lucas's animation department.

Although the Wells Fargo team was not his, it did not hold back at all. Negotiation methods emerged in endlessly. Although it cost money, such a good team was not in vain.

Acquiring Lucas's computer-animation division was a no-brainer.

George Lucas offered 6000 million yuan, Su Chen directly bargained for 3.5 million yuan, and the final price reached by the two parties was 5 million yuan.

In fact, Su Chen was not very satisfied with this price. He only wanted to be able to buy it at more than 4 million yuan. As a result of commercial negotiations, it is not that you can think of it, and others will sell it to you.

Under the witness of the lawyers of both parties, the signing of documents began.

Lucas dispatched five lawyers, and Su Chen had only one old man, Clara, but even this old man overwhelmed the opponent's momentum.

It seems that Clara's name is not only famous in Boston, but also a well-known American lawyer.

Of course, the attorney fees are also expensive.

Right now, Su Chen's DreamWorks plan is almost ready.

Of course, there are still many things to come, and it does not mean that the acquisition of these industries is over.

He is going to Necker Island to set up a new DreamWorks Group to avoid tax reasonably. At the same time, he also wants to turn DreamWorks Hong Kong into a subsidiary of DreamWorks Group.

In addition, the most important thing is to find a way to repay the debt, or else just give Wells Fargo a wedding dress for nothing.

There is no favor in the capital market. It is normal for people not to engage you, and it is reasonable for others to engage you.

After simply holding a small celebration party for the Fuguo team, Bernice left with her team.

Before leaving, he said to Su Chen: "Mr. Su, you are the happiest customer we have ever worked with. I hope we can cooperate again in the future. We will bill you directly for expenses, and you can pay in time when the time comes. "

"Bernice, if you don't want to work at Wells Fargo, I'm willing to offer you a CFO position." Su Chen said seriously, he is very short of people right now.

If a company needs long-term development, it must have a professional team, otherwise it will never be possible to go for a long time.

Bernice thought about it seriously: "Mr. Su, I will carefully consider your words."

Of course, I didn't say I agreed, and I didn't say I didn't agree.

With a wave, she took her team back to New York.

Su Chen took the old man Clara to Necker Island.

It is more convenient to register an offshore company in Necker Island than in Hong Kong, and by registering here to become a foreign-funded company, you will be able to enjoy the country's tax incentives for foreign-funded enterprises in the future.

He even considered bringing the Golden Pot to Necker.

And the idea still seems to work.

……

It didn't take much time at all, Su Chen registered the DreamWorks Group, as well as its record group, video game company, toy company, brokerage company, theater chain, video tape distribution company, Electronic Imaging Co., Ltd., DreamWorks Film and Television City Also register one by one.

After finishing these things, Su Chen returned to Hollywood and made an appointment with Tom Rothman, Chris Wedge, and Barry Diller.

He found time to call Hugh Eaton.

"Mr Eaton..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hugh Eaton said, "Man, I have to congratulate you..."
