My 1999

Looking at the two women pushing against each other, Xu Liang quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, stop pinching me. Let me tell you something."

The two people's attention quickly turned.

"In China, it is customary for women who have just given birth to confinement. So for the next month, you will continue to stay in the villa and cannot go to work."

"What?"

"Another month?"

Both of them exclaimed in disbelief at the same time.

"That's right."

Xu Liang nodded affirmatively and continued: "During this month, you cannot take a bath, drink cold water or eat cold food. As for how to do it specifically, I have found two professional confinement nannies for you in China.

Just be obedient. "

"Dear, I haven't been to the company for two months. Can I stop confinement?" Helen said quickly.

Christina also nodded in agreement, and the two of them rarely united the front.

I couldn't help it because my belly was too big before, but now I have to hold it in for another month after giving birth, which is simply torture.

"As long as you can convince the old couple in front of you, I will promise you."

The two of them looked at the father-in-law and mother-in-law who were surrounding the child, and their pretty faces wrinkled at the same time.

They didn't want to offend the old couple who had a high status in Xu Liang's mind.

"Okay, stop frowning. Confinement is also for your health. Besides, isn't it only for a month? Just be patient and it will pass soon.

Besides, confinement can also quickly repair your body.

Especially for women, it is extremely important.

Why do many oriental women still look young when they are in their thirties or forties?

And many Western women age very quickly once they reach their thirties?

It’s just because you don’t have a confinement period and haven’t repaired the lack of vitality caused by having children, the reaction on your body will accelerate aging... "

Xu Liang is eloquent and seizes on the age and appearance that women care about most, and his life is all in vain.

"real?"

Helen said a little doubtfully.

"of course it's true."

Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.

There is a saying that it is hard to give up on natural beauty. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares about her appearance.

The same goes for Helen and Christina.

"Although I'm a good man and I won't do anything like you end up giving up when you get old, so if you really don't want to be in confinement, forget it."

Helen and Christina looked at each other and said in unison.

"Let's sit."

"Forget it, I think you are in a difficult situation too."

"My dear, we didn't agree before because we didn't understand it. But it's different now. We know your hard work and of course we won't refuse."

"Yes, hubby. We are the daughters-in-law of the Xu family. Of course we must abide by the rules of the Xu family and Chinese traditions." Christina agreed.

Seeing the two people taking the initiative, Xu Liangliang felt happy.

I can't cure you guys yet.

——

For three days, Xu Liang was immersed in the excitement of becoming a father.

But on the fourth day, he had to leave his home full of joy and hope.

Hongmeng North America Headquarters.

"Mr. Katzenberg, welcome to Hongmeng."

"It is an honor for me to receive Mr. Xu's invitation to visit the famous Hongmeng."

"You're welcome, please sit down."

"Thanks."

After the two of them sat down, the host and guest took their seats.

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Before I came to the United States, I had always heard that there are three major animation studios in Hollywood, Pixar, DreamWorks and Blue Sky.

Pixar is indeed excellent, but I still prefer DreamWorks films.

Your productions of Prince of Egypt and Shrek were great, especially the latter, which I watched three times. "

The boss's praise made Katzenberg smile involuntarily.

I felt quite proud in my heart.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your interest in DreamWorks Animation, but I would rather let it go on the market."

Katzenberg knew the purpose of today's meeting, so he expressed his thoughts directly.

Xu Liang smiled lightly.

"What does Mr. Katzenberg think the market value of DreamWorks Animation would be if it were to go public?"

"DreamWorks Animation's revenue last year exceeded US$190 million, and its net profit was US$34 million. Wall Street gave us a net profit valuation of 15 times, which is US$510 million."

These things cannot be hidden at all. With Xu Liang's connections on Wall Street, if you want to check, you can get it in less than fifteen minutes.

So Katzenberg didn't hide it either.

"With a valuation of US$510 million, according to the current situation of DreamWorks Animation, your stock will be popular to a certain extent. It is a high probability that the stock price will rise by 30%, but it is unlikely to exceed 50%."

Katzenberg's eyes flashed.

Xu Liang's summary is similar to the analysis report given to him by Wall Street.

"If you are willing to cancel the listing, I can acquire DreamWorks Animation for $800 million without interfering with the operations of DreamWorks Animation, and you will still be responsible for the future development of the company.

The latter two conditions can be written into the acquisition contract. "

This sentence made Katzenberg's heart skip a beat.

What excited him the most was the purchase price of US$800 million. No one could refuse green US dollars.

But after all, he had seen strong winds and waves. Although he was moved, he was not in a hurry to agree.

"Mr. Katzenberg, as the CEO of DreamWorks Animation and a senior producer in Hollywood, you should know that the key to the success of a film lies in its distribution.

Now Hongmeng not only owns the Hollywood film and television giant Universal, but also has built a distribution system and even a screening system that can cover the world.

At present, Hongmeng's Universal International Cinema has developed to 132 theaters and 1,245 screens, making it the ninth largest theater company in the world.

In addition, my personal commercial real estate company, 'Taihua', is currently engaged in theater business and currently owns 19 theaters and 317 screens in China.

Hongmeng's Bing, a company that currently has 240,000 elevator advertising spots in China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe, and 5,400 outdoor advertising spots.

We have 219 display advertisers working with us.

We have nearly 6,000 TV stations working with us.

Therefore, we have a publicity and promotion capability far beyond that of other Hollywood companies.

As long as the film produced by DreamWorks Animation is not too bad, we can help you sell better box office.

In terms of product peripherals, both Universal Pictures and Hongmeng itself have strong film and television peripheral development capabilities.

We can provide DreamWorks Animation with 19 categories and 219 Category of goods authorized scope.

Finally, Hongmeng's Universal Studios is developing family tourism projects, which need the support of influential animation IP.

I also believe that as a theme park comparable to Disneyland, Universal Studios can greatly enhance the IP value of DreamWorks Animation.

It will bring great support to the development and box office of your subsequent series of movies.

Therefore, the revenue and profit generated by DreamWorks Animation's cooperation with Hongmeng far exceeds that of a single listing.

Mr. Katzenberg, DreamWorks has been established for ten years since 1994, and although the results are very brilliant.

But I believe you and Spi Mr. Katzenberg and Mr. David Geffen know very well that if you want to make money, it is not enough to make a good enough film. You also need a strong publicity and distribution system, the support of theaters, rich and excellent peripheral product development capabilities, etc.

DreamWorks does not have these.

But Hongmeng has them, and they are the best.

That's all I want to say. Mr. Katzenberg is a very good and smart man. I believe you know how to choose.

By the way.

My Hanhua Capital is open to Hongmeng employees. If Mr. Katzenberg is interested, you can call at any time. "

Katzenberg's eyes lit up.

Hanhua Capital's hedge funds and private equity funds are famous all over the world.

I don't know how many people want to invest.

He has always wanted to invest, but he has no chance.

The limited shares have long been divided up by those old aristocrats.

It's not his turn at all.

The acquisition amount of 800 million US dollars, the advantages in publicity and peripherals, plus the temptation of Hanhua, made Katzenberg uneasy.

"Mr. Xu, DreamWorks Animation is not my company alone. I need to discuss it with Stephen and David."

"OK, no problem."

"I'll wait for your call."

Katzenberg stood up, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see you off."

"Thank you."

Watching the car go away.

"Mr. Xu, do you think he will agree?" Lv Hui asked.

"Whether he will or not, I have already offered the best conditions we can. If it works, it will be better. If it doesn't, there will be no regrets."

"By the way, Mr. Xu. Mr. Xia from Hongyan called me this morning. He collected all the funds in the United States that are currently doing default swaps on subprime products.

There are two in total."

"So few?"

"Yes."

"Ask Lao Xia to send the information to my email."

"Mr. Xia has already faxed a copy of the information."

Lv Hui took out a copy of the information and handed it over.

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

I basically haven't heard much about it, but Xia Changsheng's information is very detailed, which gave him enough understanding of these two companies.

"Interesting, call them to make an appointment."

"Okay."

Xu Liang looked at the time and drove to another villa in Atherton.

He didn't make time before.

In addition, Nagasawa Masami's first burial was a bit serious, so he couldn't visit again.

Now it's been almost a week, the national highway is basically unblocked, and the car condition has returned to good condition. It's time to resume driving.

He parked the car and stepped into the villa.

"Mr. Xu..."

The bodyguards responsible for the security of the villa saluted hurriedly.

After nodding.

"Are you all at home?"

He didn't lock Nagasawa Masami and Fukuda Xinmei at home as canaries.

When he didn't come, the two women also took the bodyguards to visit the scenic spots near San Francisco and occasionally participated in art exhibitions.

Life was very leisurely.

"Both ladies are at home."

Xu Liang walked upstairs and came to the study. He didn't see anyone. After hearing the movement and opening the door of the gym, the scene in front of him made his eyes light up.

In the spacious room with solid wood floors, soothing music was playing.

Two slender beauties are sitting on cushions and doing yoga.
