They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 555: Wanting to "snake an elephant"

On the plane, several flight attendants smiled and took the initiative to help Huo Mingjie politely decline some passengers' photo requests.

But as soon as they persuaded the other passengers to leave, they turned around and ran in front of Huo Mingjie one by one.

Facing the moving expectant looks in the eyes of the flight attendants in front of him, Huo Mingjie knew it well, so he readily offered to take photos and sign autographs with them as a thank you for their help just now.

After personally experiencing Huo Mingjie's easy-going attitude, these flight attendants were even more happy. During the rest of the journey, Huo Mingjie received their meticulous care and greetings.

Huo Chengyin on the side noticed that these flight attendants were so excited that their legs were shaking, and couldn't help but curled his lips.

He estimated that if he had changed places, his second uncle might have been swallowed directly...

After once again rejecting the soft-spoken service of a tall stewardess, Huo Mingjie looked helplessly at his cheap nephew aside and said softly:

"I suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a private jet!"

Hearing his second uncle's words, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but be a little surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you always like to be too high-profile about this kind of thing?"

However, the cheap nephew thought about it for a while, but without waiting for Huo Mingjie's answer, he nodded and said:

"Yes, it's more convenient to have a private jet!"

Now is not the time when celebrities will be making money wantonly in a few years, with remuneration easily reaching tens of millions. It seems that no one among celebrities has ever bought a private jet.

Even Zhao Benshan, who is said to be the first person in the industry to own a private jet, hasn’t bought one yet...

But, Huo Mingjie is not just a star.

Everyone knows that he is the largest private shareholder of Bibo, and a few people who know better have heard that Huo Mingjie has made a lot of money from investing over the years.

High-profile is indeed a bit high-profile, but it is not a big deal for Huo Mingjie to own a private jet!
And having a private jet makes traveling much more convenient.

"Let's do this. I'll ask someone to inquire later and see if there's anything suitable..."

After Huo Chengyin finished speaking, his second uncle waved his hand and said:

"Just go find a professional crew member. I've already determined the specific aircraft model!"

Although the rewards given by Golden Finger have complete documents and clear origins. But appearing in China out of thin air still feels a bit legal but unreasonable.

And this time he happened to be going to the other side of the ocean to shoot, but if you have money there, you can cover up anything...

Huo Chengyin didn't think much when he heard this and nodded in response.

But after a while, he couldn't help but laugh again, and sighed softly:
"It's only been a few years since I accompanied you on the set in Hengdian, and I already bought a private jet..."

It turns out that if you want to take off, you have to hold your thighs tight. Otherwise, no one would take him seriously if Huo Chengyin made connections again!

"By the way, there is actually one more thing to do when flying to the other side of the ocean this time!"

Huo Chengyin reached out and took his briefcase from the secretary next to him, then pulled out a plan and handed it to his second uncle.

"This is the plan submitted by Leon. This old white man's courage and appetite are a bit too big, which makes me afraid to make a decision!" Huo Chengyin said solemnly. This old white man named Leon is the vice president of Shelver Pictures, which Huo Mingjie bought in Hollywood.

In the past few years, Huo Mingjie has not paid much attention to Shelver Pictures on the other side of the ocean. The vice president has been solely responsible for Shelver Pictures' affairs.

And this old white man has something. Originally, Huo Mingjie wanted to buy Shelver Films to learn Hollywood shooting techniques and film operation modes. Under his leadership, it has become prosperous.

This small film and television production company has participated in the filming of many Hollywood blockbusters in the past two years, and its revenue last year exceeded 10 million US dollars.

This time, it was because of Huo Mingjie that I was able to participate in the filming of "Inception"...

"Have a big appetite?"

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie took the plan book and opened it with some curiosity, but was also stunned.

This plan is about the merger and acquisition of a company called "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer".

The English name alone may seem a bit unfamiliar, but the company's lion trademark is still very familiar to Huo Mingjie. It is the opening logo from "Tom and Jerry" when he was a child!

MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood studios in the past, has been struggling in recent years, and is on the verge of bankruptcy this year.

But even though this company has reached its twilight years, it is still basically there.

MGM now owns many hotels and amusement parks. There are also some very popular IPs, such as the world-famous 007 series!

So for Huo Mingjie's Shelver Pictures, this is still a behemoth.

And the old white man Leon, at this time, actually thought of doing something like "a snake swallowing an elephant". No wonder the cheap nephew said that his appetite was too big.

But obviously Leon's idea is by no means a whimsical one, otherwise the cheap nephew would never get it in front of him.

Huo Chengyin said that he couldn't make up his mind, which proved that Leon's idea was feasible!

Huo Mingjie frowned slightly and immediately looked through the plan carefully.

In fact, the old white man Leon does not want to directly acquire MGM, because that would require at least two billion US dollars, or even three billion US dollars would not be surprising.

For Huo Mingjie now, even if he sells the pot and sells iron, he can only get half of it at most.

Moreover, Huo Mingjie was not so stupid as to sell his shares in companies such as Bibo, Daqiang, and LeTV, which would be worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions in the future, to buy a Hollywood company that was going downhill and heavily in debt!
Leon's idea was to restructure Shelf Pictures and MGM for hundreds of millions of dollars.

After the reorganization, more than 90% of the new company's shares will be returned to the previous MGM shareholders.

Huo Mingjie's Shelf Pictures will obtain less than 10% of the shares and the dominant operating rights of the new company.

This is a typical example of using a small amount to make a big difference. Although it does not have an advantage in terms of shares, the new company after the reorganization may not be able to gain a firm foothold by relying on the foundation left by MGM!
Looking at this complete plan, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Huo Mingjie could still get hundreds of millions of dollars by gritting his teeth.

Not talking about the country, on the other side of the ocean alone, his previous investments in oil pipelines and Little Blue Bird have allowed him to earn US$300-400 million in profits.

Coupled with the fact that I made some stock investments based on my scattered vague memories, the rate of return is quite amazing.

The only question now is, is this investment worth it?
