The Motherland Comes to the United States

Chapter 72 Bu drifted for half his life, only hating not meeting the Ming Lord

"Don't bully people too much——!!!"

Obadi was really angry. He had never been so angry in his life.

Not being a son of man is simply not being a son of man!
It is too much to continue to threaten him after taking him 10 billion US dollars.

"Dissatisfied?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows:

"I'll give you three days, and you'll get me a $20 billion bearer bond."

"$20 billion?"

"$20 billion!"

"I just raised 10 billion dollars for you, and it's all my loan. Where can I get you another 20 billion dollars?"

"Ah... go sell your ass." Bai Ye said: "There are so many billionaires in New York, all of them are gay, you have such a good body, 20 billion dollars, it's easy."

Obadi: "..."

Even if he sells it as a sunflower, it is impossible to sell it for 20 billion US dollars.

"Three days!"

Bai Ye finally left Obadi with a deadline, and then hung up the phone.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Damn Fuck!"

Obadi angrily threw the mobile phone directly on the ground, and it fell into pieces all over the ground.

……

"Tangtang, I'll give you the money to buy the movie company, and I've earned it back."

When Tangtang came out of the bathroom, Bai Ye shook the bearer bond in his hand and smiled.

"So soon?"

Tangtang was surprised.

It only took her more than 20 minutes to wash up, and Bai Ye got back the money to buy a medium-sized film company?
"To a man, don't say fast, but fierce!"

Bai Ye taught Tangtang earnestly and earnestly.

"Oh, I see."

Tangtang said obediently.

Coming to Bai Ye's side, Tang Tang saw the bearer bond in Bai Ye's hand.

"These are all snatched from another person who shorted the Stark Group...?"

Tangtang asked curiously.

"Yes." Bai Ye said with a smile: "Not only the 10 billion US dollars in bearer bonds, but three days later, he will give me another 20 billion US dollars in bearer bonds."

To be honest, blackmailing Obadi is much faster than Bai Ye going to Mexico to rob drug lords. You know, he stayed in Mexico for two days, going back and forth, tossing and tossing for a long time, and the boss only robbed 7 Billion dollars, and what about Obadi?In half a day, with 10 billion US dollars in hand, he can direct Obadi to send the money to the designated location without him having to run around and sit in the office. Is there a better way to make money than this?

A wave of Bao Fu!
No wonder the ancestors said that a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass.

What a wise saying!
"So much money?" Tangtang was taken aback, and said, "Then brother, the other party won't jump over the wall in a hurry, and cause any danger to you, right?"

"He can't jump over the wall even if he's in a hurry. He's telling me I'm not. He doesn't even know who I am. How can he jump?"

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"Don't worry, after the other 20 billion US dollars are in hand, let's hit him with another big sum, another 30 billion US dollars."

【Obadi: "..."】

If Obadi uses Jarvis to track Bai Ye, then he may still be able to find the trace of Bai Ye, but this is obviously impossible. Jarvis is absolutely loyal to Tony. Once Jarvis knows that Obadi is looking for the killer Organization, attacking Tony, then Jarvis will probably use all means to attack Obadi, a strong artificial intelligence is everywhere to hunt down... Then Obadi may hardly have a place in this world.

So Obadi didn't dare to act recklessly, and Bai Ye naturally had nothing to be afraid of.

To be honest, hacking into Obadi's computer was surprisingly easy, because Obadi is too old, his thinking is outdated, and he can't keep up with the times. The computer's defense system is a fool's operation, but Obadi He didn't dare to connect his computer to Jarvis, because he had done too many things behind Tony's back, such as selling the Stark Group's arms to the black market, and his partner, the Ten Rings, had Stark The large amount of arms of the Croatian Group was all done by Obadi.

Once Tony finds out that Obadi has sold a large amount of Stark Group arms into the black market, then the relationship between the two of them will probably come to an end.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things." Bai Ye said: "Let's figure it out, which movie company should buy."

"Ah."

Tangtang obediently sat beside Bai Ye.

Bai Ye stretched out her hand to grab Tangtang, hugged her and sat on her lap, letting the stretched round peach under the outline of the jeans fit him perfectly.

Kissing Tangtang heavily on the face, Bai Ye turned on the computer and searched for the movie company's information:
"Let's first take a look at which film companies are worth buying."

When it comes to Hollywood, the Big Six must be the first to bear the brunt, um, that is, the current six major Hollywood film companies, Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Sony Columbia, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount.

"Uh... Hollywood's Big Six, we may not be able to afford it for the time being, one is at least tens of billions of dollars."

In fact, the Big Six in Hollywood are not pure film companies, they have all merged with media groups and become a link in the media industry chain. The real names of the Big Six in Hollywood should be ABC Disney, Time Warner, NBC Universal, and CBS Paramount , Fox Entertainment Group, and Sony Columbia did not merge with the media group, but it is a subsidiary of the Sony Group, which immediately pushed up their market value infinitely, starting at tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, Bai Ye will definitely have tens of billions of dollars in his hands when shorting the Stark Group is successful, but if he has this money, Bai Ye will definitely choose to expand Sun Bank and Snap instead of acquiring a film company that does not have much room for value-added.

For Internet companies, film companies are too slow to make money, which is unacceptably slow. Baiye’s acquisition of film companies will also embed it into a media group with Tianmei Studio and Snap in the future, and use it to enhance its actual influence. There is no hope Make money from film companies.

"Brother, even if you want to buy, I will persuade you!" Tangtang said with a smile: "Such a big company, it is definitely not easy to control, how can you just buy it? And outsiders buy Basically, Hollywood studios will be scammed, and I heard that when Sony bought Columbia, they were scammed miserably, at least spending billions of dollars in unjustified money."

"You said this, I know."

Nodding at night.

At the beginning of the year, the market price per share in Columbia was US$12, and it was US$21 when Sony announced the merger, but Sony’s final bid was US$27 per share.

The stock price doubled like crazy!

On September 1989, 9, Sony announced that it would spend US$25 billion to purchase Columbia's equity from Coca-Cola and assume Columbia's US$34 billion in incidental debt, spending a total of US$16 billion.

By November 1994, 11, Sony announced in its quarterly financial report that the book value of the company's investment in Columbia Pictures had decreased by $17 billion.

This loss is the largest loss of a Japanese company in history.

It can be said that Hollywood directly stole 27 billion US dollars from Sony, a big guy, and bought a Columbia company at the price of two Columbia companies.

Even Tangtang knows about this well-known past.

Sugar saccharine calculated carefully and said:
"So brother, let's buy a small and medium-sized film company first, gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, wait until we are familiar with the rules of Hollywood's operation, and will not be tricked by those people, and then try to acquire the Big Six in Hollywood. I believe, with brother Your strength, this day, will not be too far away."

Of course, it doesn't look far away, but Tangtang sees that Bai Ye's Galaxy Capital can earn at least 10 billion US dollars in the capital market at one time, and it is difficult to acquire the Hollywood Six with a price of tens of billions of dollars?

"You still understand me, Tangtang."

Bai Ye laughed, planted a strawberry print on Tangtang's neck, and continued to look for a suitable film company.

Legendary Pictures, DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, Lakeview, Dimensions, Screen Gems...

"Lionsgate should be regarded as the company with the best performance under the Big Six in Hollywood. Moreover, it is an independent film company with a low valuation. It should be able to get it for as long as [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars."

Bai Ye's impression of Hollywood in his previous life, besides the Big Six and Netflix, the most impressive ones should be Lionsgate and DreamWorks.

Lionsgate is one of the most famous independent production companies in Hollywood. It has received 66 Academy Award nominations and 17 Academy Awards.It is worth mentioning that the company’s most profitable business is not the movie box office, and nearly 13000% of its income comes from the [-] film and television works in the copyright library.

With the funds obtained from financing, Lionsgate continues to acquire and expand the film storage library, and then obtain profits, financing, and then expand the film storage library.And if this process can be unimpeded, the film repository will become a constant source of income for Lions Gate.

Relying on this business model, Lionsgate's profitability has even surpassed that of the lower-ranked Hollywood Six.

"Brother, I heard that Frank Gusta, the chairman of Lionsgate Films, is a very stubborn person. He has always regarded Lionsgate Films as his business. It may not be a big problem for us to invest in shares, but I think If you want to acquire Lionsgate Films in its entirety, there will be a big problem." Tangtang said: "Moreover, Lionsgate Films has been deeply in debt crisis for the past two years, and its operating conditions are not very good. Another sum of money has to be put in place to settle Lionsgate's debts."

"Hmm..." Bai Ye thought for a while, and said, "Lionsgate only makes bloody, rough, and rule-breaking movies, and the sword is eccentric. I guess there are not many movies that are suitable for Tangtang to play the heroine. Forget it." , change to another one."

Tangtang froze for a moment, she simply didn't want Bai Ye to buy such an expensive company as Lionsgate just after entering Hollywood, but what Bai Ye thought of was that the films made by this company were not suitable for her to act in...

"hey-hey."

Tangtang smirked.

Well, after all, Bai Ye raised her since she was a child, so if you don't love her, who will you love?
"What about Legendary Pictures?"

Bai Ye asked again.

He found out that Tangtang knew more about these film companies than he did, so he didn't bother to go online to collect information, just ask Tangtang directly.

Anyway, Tangtang would definitely not cheat him.

"Uh..." Tangtang pondered for a while, and said, "Brother, let's forget about this. The relationship between Legendary Pictures is too complicated. It's not a company that makes good movies, but a company that specializes in money laundering."

"Is there any movie company in Hollywood that doesn't launder money??"

Bai Ye wondered.

Tangtang: "Everyone is laundering money, but other companies are laundering money secretly, but this company is laundering money blatantly and recklessly... Legendary Pictures is essentially a private equity fund."

"I understand when you put it that way, the film company of Karma Leek?" Bai Ye himself likes to play with Karma Leek, but he is not willing to be played by Karma Leek. Legendary Pictures is naturally excluded from the acquisition target. Pointing to another name on the computer, he asked, "Where is Summit Entertainment? How about this company?"

"Summit Entertainment..." Tangtang thought for a while, and said, "This company is not bad, with a simple shareholder structure, not as complicated as Lionsgate and Legendary. In the early years, it was a company that sold movies overseas. However, in the past two years, they have been transforming, laying out the distribution network, and have made some achievements, so they can be regarded as a medium-sized film company with all internal organs."

Bai Ye also has some impressions of Summit Entertainment. In 2008, he became a blockbuster with the Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker" directed by James Cameron's ex-wife Katherine Bigelow.

Later, Summit Entertainment pressed the "Twilight Saga", and at a cost of only US$3700 million, it grossed US$3.9 million worldwide. Since then, Summit Entertainment has truly joined the penny club at the top of Hollywood.

At the same time, Summit Entertainment has produced quite a few independent films that, although not very commercially successful, have featured heavyweight stars.

It's just that Summit Entertainment blindly invested in big productions later, and its cash flow dried up, so it had to be sold to Lionsgate for $4.125 million.

"Very well, then add this company to the acquisition list."

Next, Bai Ye and Tangtang took stock of all the independent film companies in Hollywood, compared their advantages and disadvantages, and found a few high-quality companies that could be acquired.

"Well, that's about it."

Bai Ye stopped the screening.

There are thousands of film companies in Hollywood, but apart from the Big Six, there are only a few good companies.

"I will continue to explain, let them get in touch with the directors of these film companies to see which one is suitable for acquisition. If possible, all of them can be acquired. Anyway, the valuation of these film companies adds up. It’s less than $10 billion, so cheap.”

Tangtang: "..."

Is a company with a valuation of less than one billion dollars considered cheap?

Only a big and thick brother can say such a thing.

"It's almost time to get off work, let's go have lunch together."

Bai Ye looked at the time and said.

"Ok."

Tangtang smiled sweetly.

The two went downstairs together, Tangtang took Bai Ye's arm and said:

"Brother, I know there is a pizza shop nearby, the taste is very good, how about we go and eat pizza?"

"Of course, if you like to eat, then I must like it too."

Bai Ye smiled and nodded.

After eating the pizza, the two returned to Tangtang's house.

Tangtang was relatively busy with work, and Bai Ye went to Mexico for two days. Counting it, the two hadn't seen each other for almost a week, and the longing in my heart turned into the swaying of the bed.

……

"watt?"

When Bai Ye received a call, he had to temporarily put down the peaches he was eating, and took it over to see that it was Andy's call, so Bai Ye answered it without any delay.

"Yes, you heard me right, no matter what you are doing now, go back to AIM immediately."

Andy said with a dark face.

When Bai Ye picked up the phone just now, she could tell what Bai Ye was doing by hearing the voice, and she was pulling carrots in the farmland again.

"What is it?"

Bai Ye's fingers slid across the skin on Tangtang's white back, and said with some reluctance:

"Do you have to go back now? Can you wait for me for half an hour?"

"Bai Ye!" Andy said angrily: "I'm not joking with you, come back quickly, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

After speaking, Andy hung up the phone, not giving Bai Ye a chance to bargain.

Confidential things, can we talk over the phone?

In the eyes of a caring person, everything becomes transparent.

"Ugh--!"

Bai Ye sighed heavily, patted Tangtang's head, and said:
"I can't help it. The company seems to be in a hurry. I have to rush over now."

"Oh." Tangtang was a little aggrieved, but she was still very obedient: "Then brother, you go first, the business is important."

"Yeah, dear." Bai Ye kissed Tangtangqiao's face, and said with a smile, "I'll make it up to you next time."

After putting on his clothes, Bai Ye came out of Tangtang's house, took his Maybach 62S, and went straight to the AIM company building.

"What the hell happened, you have to call me back in such a hurry?"

As soon as Bai Ye came back, she was dragged by Andy and went to the monitoring room, where Becky was also waiting.

Andy said simply, "Something happened to Maya Hansen."

Bai Ye's complexion suddenly became serious, and said:

"what's the situation?"

"As we expected, Maya Hansen is already a scientist with white left thinking, just because we set up laboratories in Hengsan and Africa, and we are going to use a large number of rhesus monkeys and chimpanzees to accumulate Extremis virus The results of human experiments, Maya Hansen did not want her scientific achievements to be misused, so she chose to betray in the end."

Andy gestured towards Becky:

"It's up to you to talk to him about the specific situation."

"Okay." Becky pushed her glasses and said, "Maya Hansen hasn't shown any abnormalities recently, as usual, but I always feel that something is wrong, so I increased the monitoring of her. Strength, Bai Ye, guess what I found? I found that Maya Hansen used the dark web to get in touch with a hacker organization. Coincidentally, I also fought against that hacker organization. , trying their best to expose all kinds of dark deeds in the United States. In the eyes of the Department of Homeland Security, this is a group of cyber terrorists who specialize in sabotage, and it is also an organization that the Department of Homeland Security is suppressing with all its strength..."

Bai Ye looked up to the sky and sighed: "What the hell is a 'cloth drifting half his life, only hating not meeting the Ming Lord'..."
