Chapter 585: Global Cinemas

Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing held hands, and under the guidance of Joseph, they looked inside and out.
After the three of them walked out of the living room, Thrall said, "Kerry, you haven't told me what they do? Do you have any money for me? You know, my life is not easy now, otherwise I won't sell this set. The villa."
Kerry smiled and said: "Don't worry about that. They are China's big stars, with tens of billions of dollars in their hands. As long as they like it, let alone one set, ten sets, there is no problem at all."
Thrall said in surprise: "Are all the big Chinese stars so rich? There are tens of billions of dollars at random."
Kerry smiled and said, "Of course not. Xiao is a peerless genius. He has used his talents to earn tens of billions of dollars in just two years. A while ago, what he directed was called "Langya Bang". TV series, do you know how much he made?"
Thrall asked curiously: "How much?"
Kerry stretched out and looked at him with a smile.
Thrall said in surprise: "It's amazing that he can make 200 million US dollars in a TV series."
Kerry shook his head and said with a faint smile, "Thar, if it's only two hundred million dollars, do you think I'll take it out alone?"
Thrall was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes were about to stare out, with a of a ghost, he said with difficulty: "Don't you tell me it is two billion dollars?"
Kerry smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's two billion dollars."
"It's impossible." Thrall stood up suddenly with a face of disbelief, and said: "How can a TV show sell for 2 billion?"
Kerry said: "How can't it be. Xiao's TV series has an outrageously high ratings. Almost 2 billion people in Asia have watched it, and the TV station has divided him into a very large amount of advertising. Therefore, the two billion US dollars are combined. Not difficult."
Thrall opened his mouth and said, "It's really amazing. I have worked hard for ten years, and it's not as profitable as a TV show. Kerry, since he is a star and so rich, I don't know. Is he interested in the theater?"
Kerry frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Although Thrall likes to tinker with villas and make some price differences, the real main business is actually the TV station.
This is the legacy left to him after his father's death, and the 10% share of Universal Cinemas.
Thrall Road: "Recently, my TV station has been in a downturn. The ratings of three consecutive TV series have been extremely low. The advertisers I worked with before have all avoided. The reason why I sold my house is for the operation of the TV station. But the money does not help me completely solve the problem. There is no way, I can only sell the shares of Universal Cinema. You know, Universal Cinema has been operating very poorly in the past two years."
Kerry asked puzzledly: "Since you want to sell, why don't you sell it to other shareholders of Global?"
When Thrall heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said bitterly: "Of course I looked for them first. But these people are the ones who eat meat but don't spit bones, and the highest bidder only gave me 1.2 billion US dollars. Haha, the market price of Universal Cinemas is more than 22 billion, and 10% of mine is only sold for 1.2 billion. Kerry, if it is you, would you sell it?"
Kerry said, "Of course I don’t sell them. They are really too much. But, Thrall, you have to think about it. The film and television industry will become more and more developed in the future. Although Universal Cinemas has been in a recession in the past two years, they will definitely have A very good prospect. It is a pity that you are selling now."
Thrall said: "Kerry, do you want to buy it? If you do, I only want you two billion dollars."
Kerry shook his head and said: "Where do I have so much money? Thrall, don't look at our MGM seems to be very beautiful, in fact, there is not much liquidity. If it weren't for "Traveling Interstellar", With more than one billion U.S. dollars in income, I’m afraid we will all have to go to the bank for a loan now. However, I think Xiao should be very interested, and he can also get it out."
Thrall smiled and said, "When he comes back, I want to discuss it with him."
An hour later, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing returned after visiting the manor, talking and laughing.
Kerry said: "What do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai stretched out his thumb and smiled: "It's great. The facilities here are complete and the environment is beautiful. We are very satisfied. However, Mr. Thrall, the $120 million is too high. According to the current villa price, 100 million dollars should be about the same."
Thrall hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, 120 million US dollars is my reserve price. I will never give in half a point for this. If it weren't for my urgent need for money, I wouldn't be willing to accept such a good place. Sell."
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said with a smile: "There is no way. Although my wife likes it very much, she thinks the price is too high. It seems that we can only find another cheaper villa. I'm sorry. Excuse me. Kerry, let's go."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Thrall felt a little worried.
This villa has been on the market for more than two months, and because the price is too high, almost no one cares about it.
Now, under Kerry's introduction, he finally met Xiao Yunhai, a customer who was both capable and really wanted to buy, of course Thrall was reluctant to let it go.
So Thrall got up and said, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, please don't worry. We can discuss the price."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Sal, my wife and I are both Chinese. The longest living in Los Angeles throughout the year is only three months. Therefore, 100 million US dollars is already the highest price we have offered. If you agree, We complete the formalities, and I can give you a lot of money this afternoon. If you disagree, then we can only say sorry."
After thinking about it, Thrall asked Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing to sit down first, and then said: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are very interested in American theaters?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Thrall, we are talking about villas, how do you go to the courtyard?"
Thrall said, "Mr. Xiao, I own 10% of Universal Cinemas. I wonder if you are not interested?"
"Global Cinemas Shares?" Xiao Yunhai's heart was shaken, but his face was unmoved, and asked: "Mr. Thrall, why are you selling it?"
Thrall explained the reason and said, "Mr. Xiao, I can sell it to you at the market price."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up and he was about to speak. Zhao Wanqing next to him touched him and said, "Mr. Thrall, as far as I know, the Universal Cinema was built 20 years ago. During this period, there was almost no maintenance, whether it was equipment. The cinemas are still aging very seriously. In the past two years, Universal Cinemas has been struggling to make ends meet due to poor management. If we buy it at the market price, we may not only make money, but may lose money every year. Am I right? Mr. Thrall."
Xiao Yunhai glanced at Zhao Wanqing in surprise, apparently he did not expect that she would be so familiar with Universal Cinema.
Kerry was also very surprised. This was the reason why he didn't buy Universal Cinema. It's just that both sides are his good friends, he can't say anything in the middle.
Thrall smiled bitterly: "Miss Zhao understands Universal's current plight. That's right, Universal has indeed had an operational problem, but it is not without a solution."
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said: "The major shareholder of Universal Cinemas is Mr. David, President of Universal Cinemas, who owns 63% of the shares. Unless he agrees to renovate the theaters or accept foreign investment, the Universal Cinemas will be very It's hard to change. Because Mr. David's current situation seems very difficult."
Although Xiao Yunhai's face did not change, he already wanted to worship his wife in his heart.
Usually, when they were together, Xiao Yunhai made up almost everything, and Zhao Wanqing unreservedly supported him behind his back.
And now seeing her talks with Thrall, Xiao Yunhai suddenly discovered that as the eldest lady of Hanhai Film and Television Investment Company, Zhao Wanqing's abilities are not lower than her, and in the business field, she is even better than herself. It's just that she is very good at hiding and is unwilling to steal her limelight.
If it weren't for worrying that she would suffer a loss if she didn't know the internal affairs of Universal, I'm afraid she would still hide behind her, willingly enjoying her care for her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai increased his love for Zhao Wanqing even more, and couldn't help sighing: "If you have a wife like this, what can your husband ask for?"
Thrall chuckled and said, "Hua Xia has a saying that women don't let the eyebrows be shaved, and it should be Miss Zhao. So, you don't want to buy it."
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "My husband values ​​the cinemas very much. If the price is right, he will still buy it."
Thrall asked: "Then how much does Ms. Zhao think is appropriate?"
Zhao Wanqing glanced at Xiao Yunhai and found that he was nodding slightly to herself.
Zhao Wanqing knew that he wanted to make the decision for herself. With the support of her husband, Zhao Wanqing was shocked and said decisively: "The highest is 1.5 billion US dollars."
Thrall frowned and said, "This is impossible. At the current market price..."
Zhao Wanqing interrupted him and said: "Mr. Thrall, as long as the stock market fluctuates slightly, its share price will definitely plummet in response to the current situation of Universal Cinemas. We used 1.5 billion US dollars to buy 10% of Universal Cinemas shares. , Itself is a very risky thing. I am even worried that it will make our blood transfusion worthless. Therefore, no matter what you say, we will not change our minds. The villa is 100 million US dollars, and the global cinema is 1.5 billion US dollars. , This is our bottom line. I'm sorry, I was a bit aggressive just now."
Thrall looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Does Mr. Xiao mean that too?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "She is the Minister of Finance in our family, and all the money I earn is with her, so I dare not listen to her."
After hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Thrall smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, Miss Zhao is not only beautiful, but also so smart. It's really enviable that you can marry her."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "The most proud thing in my life is to be able to marry her."
Thrall sighed and said: "1.7 billion dollars, I will give you all the villas and theaters. This is also my bottom line."
Zhao Wanqing didn't even think about it, and said: "Deal."
Thrall was visibly taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and asked again: "What did you just say?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Villas and theaters add up to 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, we agreed."
Thrall suddenly turned to look at Kerry~EbookFREE.me~ and said, "Am I stupid?"
Kerry nodded and said, "Yes, you are really stupid. But having 1.7 billion US dollars at once is definitely a better thing for you."
Thrall said: "You are right. Mr. Xiao, Miss Zhao, when will the two of you collect the 1.7 billion US dollars?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "After signing the contract, the money will be credited to your account immediately."
Thrall stood up and said happily, "What are you waiting for? We'll sign the contract right away."
Two hours later, under the witness of the lawyers of both parties, both contracts were settled.
