Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 390 Acquisition of Golden Harvest

…

Not only Goldman Sachs, in the past few days, he has received calls from many familiar investment institutions, including eos or presidents of Carlyle Fund, Bain Capital, and Blackstone. It's just that by comparison, they're more of an inquiry. And Goldman Sachs directly seized his desire for a share of Universal Studios Osaka in exchange for it.

"Forget it, since it's all about letting go late or let go early. As long as they can agree with my valuation of Google, they should introduce strategic investment as soon as possible. Moreover, with the full help of Goldman Sachs, it is possible to win Unocal Oil. Sex is bigger."

The next decade will be a decade of soaring oil prices. Oil that is only more than $30 a barrel now will peak at $147 a barrel in 2oo8. Therefore, buying oil assets at this time will at least triple in the next five to ten years.

Whether it is out of the importance of the energy industry or out of making money, Guo Shouyun is now making every effort to acquire oil assets.

He has already planned that after the acquisition of Unocal, he will spin off the oil business of Enron Pacific, and then go public when the oil price is at its peak. After cashing out, he will make a lot of money. He will buy it back when the oil shale production increases and the stock price falls. .

Of course, this is already many years later, so let's not press it for the time being.

…

Li Zeju's call came faster than Guo Shouyun imagined. On the third day after the meeting at Sha Tin Racecourse, the two met again.

"Uncle Zou has agreed to meet, and he also understands that you plan to acquire Jiahe. ... Judging from the current situation, you have a high probability of success!"

Sitting in the car to the Zou family's mansion in the mid-level villa, Li Zeju said with a smile.

Guo Shouyun certainly knew that he had great hopes. The current Hong Kong film market, after going through the 1997 crisis, has long since slumped to the extreme. Influence in East and Southeast Asia has also been completely ceded to Hollywood. Not to mention these external factors, even Zou Wenhuai himself is in debt.

First, investing in real estate lost more than 100 million yuan. Then he lost his co-founding partner, Jiahe's "Second Master" He Guanchang. You must know that this is Jackie Chan's godfather.

This is not the end. In 1998, the Hong Kong government took back Jiahe's studio on Axe Mountain Road. The new studio in Tseung Kwan O also rejoiced because of Shaw's spoiler. Zou Chongyan, the daughter of 2ooo who has a master's in film from Stanford, did not save Golden Harvest, but made it worse.

In such a situation of internal and external difficulties, it is strange that Zou Wenhuai does not sell. At least you can make some money by selling it, but if you go bankrupt, you may lose a dime.

"It's here, it's here!"

Through the car window, I looked at the very quiet villa hidden behind the green hills and trees not far away. Guo Shouyun nodded secretly. Although Jiahe was engulfed in debt, Zou Wenhuai also lost a lot. But after 50 years of making movies, he still has a lot of money.

With Li Zeju, a familiar eldest young master, it is very easy to enter the villa. When the vehicle passed through the courtyard gate and stopped in front of the steps of the villa, Guo Shouyun saw a middle-aged woman wearing a lavender coat. He knew that this was Zou Wenhuai's daughter, Zou Chongyan.

"You are here?"

"Chongyan, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Guo Shouyun from the United States."

Li Zeju and Zou Chongyan are about the same age, so naturally they have known each other for a long time.

"Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you. Although I am in Hong Kong, I have been hearing about Mr. Guo and admire your amazing business achievements."

"Thank you! It's an honor to visit the Zou family."

"Please come in with me, my father is already waiting for the two of you inside!"

After a simple courtesy, Zou Chongyan led the two into the living room. After bypassing the shadow wall, Guo Shouyun saw the person he wanted to visit in a living room that was similar to the modern Chinese decoration style.

Seeing the gray hair and thin body, like an old man on the verge of death, it is difficult for Guo Shouyun to associate him with the legendary figures in the Hong Kong film industry for half a century.

Although he thought so, whether it was out of courtesy or respect for the elder, he subconsciously accelerated his pace and took the initiative to extend his right hand to the other party.

"Mr. Zou, I'm Guo Shouyun, it's a great honor to meet you!"

Zou Wenhuai held his hand, looked up and down, and nodded with a smile.

"It's true that there are talents from all generations, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. The famous Hollywood media giant also has a share of my Chinese. Mr. Guo's achievements really make this old man admire me."

"You've won the prize. I'm just getting started in the film and television industry, and I have to ask experienced seniors like you in many places."

"Mature and steady, 'not arrogant when you take credit', that's good. No wonder Jiacheng gave you such a high rating on the phone!"

Guo Shouyun smiled lightly and did not answer.

"Please sit down!"

"thanks!"

After the three of them were seated, Zou Chongyan brought over the brewed tea leaves.

"It's rumored that Mr. Guo likes to drink tea. Here are some Yunnan Golden Silk Dianhongs from my own collection. Please taste them!"

"Thank you!"

After taking a sip from their teacups, Guo Shouyun, who didn't intend to waste time in overly polite words, said bluntly, "Mr. Zou, I must have come here. Brother Li should have told you in advance. I don't know what you think?"

"Before answering this question, Mr. Guo, I want to ask Mr. Guo a question?"

"Please say!"

"If I sell Golden Harvest to you, how do you plan to operate it? Is it as a Matrix Hong Kong Film Company? Or keep the Golden Harvest brand and continue to make movies?"

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Actually, the reason why I want to acquire Golden Harvest, in addition to its rich film library resources, is that I like her extensive brand influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia, especially Huaxia. So, not only will it not be incorporated into the matrix, but it will exist as an independent film company and continue to make Chinese-language films."

Zou Wenhuai nodded.

"I heard Mr.'s tone, the purpose of acquiring Jiahe is for Huaxia?"

"Yes!"

"Now that the Huaxia film market is far from Hollywood, why does Mr. Guo need to do this? Besides, he has acquired Universal's Matrix and has a wealth of film library and shooting resources, which is enough to gain huge benefits from Huaxia. Why is Jiahe?"

"No matter how good the matrix is, it is also a Hollywood film company. Its spiritual core is Western, and it is naturally completely different from the East. It is like Western food, no matter how good it is, it will not become steamed bread and rice, and will not become Chinese people. The staple food. But Golden Harvest is different. Its core is oriental, and it can make movies with a unique oriental style. I need a film and television company like this.”

"The mainland's censorship of film and television companies is very strict!"

"Because of this, I need Jiahe!"

Zou Wenhuai nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that Mr. Guo has a clear understanding of the Eastern and Western film patterns."

"Although I am an American, my roots are in China. I have never dared to neglect the motherland in the slightest." Guo Shouyun said.

After taking a deep look at him, "If I sell my Jiahe shares to Mr. Guo, how much are you willing to pay?"

"250 million Hong Kong dollars and bear all the debts. In addition, I need Mr. Zou and Miss Zou to sign a non-disclosure agreement with me. Before I fully acquire Golden Harvest, I cannot disclose the transaction between us to the outside world."

Zou Wenhuai pondered, and after a while, "Add 2000,000, 270 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will sell you all the 24.78% shares in Jiahe!"

"make a deal!"

Guo Shouyun did not hesitate, smiled and stretched out his right hand towards the other party. 2,000,000 is only 200,000,000, not 200 million. For him, the money is a drop in the bucket, even if he looks at the face of the Li family and his son.

After Rebecca finished drafting the contract and both parties signed their names, Zou Wenhuai sighed deeply, "Jiahe will be handed over to you!"

"Please rest assured, I will restore Jiahe's past glory!" Guo Shouyun solemnly promised.

Zou Wenhuai gave him a deep look, raised his hand and patted his right arm, "I'm getting old and my energy is low, so I'll let Chongyan accompany you from now on."

"Okay, go slow!"

Whoever sells the career that he has worked hard for all his life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will not be in a good mood. What's more, Zou Wenhuai is over eighty years old.

Seeing his hunched back all of a sudden, Guo Shouyun also felt sympathy. However, even without him, Jiahe would inevitably end up being acquired by Orange Sky Entertainment. Compared with Wu Kebo, who is better at playing capital, he is confident that he can restore the glory of Golden Harvest.

"Miss Zou, can you tell me about Jiahe's current situation?"

Zou Chongyan, who was in a good mood, nodded.

"Gold Harvest's business is mainly divided into three parts, film production, artist management and cinema. In terms of film production, since its establishment, Golden Harvest has produced a total of 67 films, including "Fighting Heroes", "A Plan", "Police" "Story series" and other classic films. ... However, there are no shooting plans for this year."

Guo Shouyun frowned, originally wanted to ask, but finally gave up. The reason why there is no shooting plan is actually very easy to guess, just lack of money.

"In terms of artist brokers, we have well-known artists such as Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Wu Yanzu, and Zhang Zhen."

At this time, although Jackie Chan left for the American exhibition, the brokerage contract was still in Golden Harvest. Although Maggie Cheung had already retired, the brokerage contract was still there. But Guo Shouyun has no interest in artist management. The reason is simple, for a studio that wants to make a blockbuster movie, actors must be paid within a reasonable range. This is naturally in conflict with the artist brokerage business that strives for higher pay. Therefore, you will see that the major Hollywood film and television giants basically do not have the business of artist brokerage. Inside Huaxia, Huayi Brothers used to account for half of the artist brokerage business, but it was almost ignored later.
