At 10 o'clock in the morning, a cafe on the street in Burbank City.

Zhang Junsheng has been sitting here for almost half an hour and he is on the phone.

He is now the boss of a listed company, and it is not something he can decide on to acquire or invest in DreamWorks Animation alone.

At least you have to convince the board of directors!

Tang Ningyu and the others don’t want to take too much steps. Yuehua’s current debt ratio is less than 10%, and his reputation is very good!

However, if they acquire DreamWorks, not to mention whether they can take out so much cash, they don’t value anime very much!

Even for "Kung Fu Panda", the domestic revenue is just over 100 million...

The box office of the "Pleasant Goat Movie" during the Spring Festival was only more than 30 million, which is only enough to make a profit.

"Old Tang, we have to have a vision! Let me first talk about the data of Chinese movies. The total box office of Chinese movies in 2002 was 920 million, equivalent to 150 million US dollars. Last year, China's total box office was 4.35 billion, and the box office increased by nearly 4 times in five years. The total box office in the first half of this year was 2.98 billion, and the annual box office is expected to be close to 6 billion. We can see that Chinese movies are growing at an extremely terrifying rate. Ten years later, in 2017, the box office of Chinese movies can reach about 60 billion. Coupled with the appreciation of the RMB, it is about 9 billion US dollars, and the entire market is close to the United States."

"Hollywood, even globally, the proportion of animation and movies accounts for nearly 20%, and less than 5% of our country. What a vast market this is..."

What he said makes sense, but Tang Ningyu wants to see the actual benefits!

In fact, the position of animation movies in the domestic film market is indeed a bit useless. Why does Dongyang Media not even have an animation business?

Before Yuehua appeared, Dongyang was the top player in the mainland.

Any large enterprise, or industry, can rise, must be driven by demand.

Zhang Junsheng can be said that in ten years, he will definitely see the dividends brought by vigorously developing animation...

Investors need to look at immediate interests!

The reason why they invest in Yuehua is because Yuehua's movies rarely fail. The most important thing is that the investment return cycle is very short!

It takes at least three years to make an anime for $150 million from planning to release to sharing accounts!

The maximum return on investment is only 100%, and I can't guarantee it - so what about DreamWorks? "Fighting Aliens", "Rat Country Wandering", and "Bee Mobilization" failed to make a box office profit. If it weren't for the videotape, these works could have been called a failure!

Even with DVD returns as support, "The Legend of Sinbad" and "The Pony King" are all projects with huge losses...

I use the same money to speculate in real estate, so I can make money faster...

And it's safer - if you buy a house, it's impossible to fall!

In short, Tang Ningyu is not optimistic about this acquisition...

After all, $2.5 billion is really scary...

It’s unrealistic to become fat in one go!

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng asked for a cup of coffee. While drinking, he thought carefully about Tang Ningyu's words...

What he said makes sense. Eighty percent of the revenue of the mainland film market is movie box office, peripherals, DVDs, etc., and there was no good revenue channel until ten years later...

But this is a DreamWorks!

The world's top animation production company has the opportunity to buy it now. No matter what, Zhang Junsheng doesn't want to give up.

Since it is impossible to pass Yuehua, Zhang Junsheng wonders if he can acquire it in his private name?

Does he have so much money?

Steve was called, and Steve was his investment advisor.

"Uber will not be listed for the time being, but Wall Street's valuation of Uber is $20 billion..."

"How many shares do I have?"

"If you take action now, you will only have a billion dollars at most..."

“…Why is it so low?”

"Uber is cheap to ride in a car because the company is subsidizing the cost of each trip, so it has been operating at a loss. However, investors are reluctant to accept projects that cannot see profitable!"

Well, Uber hasn't been on the market yet...

It has not been able to solve the profit problem...

“…Where is Facebook?”

"You want to sell Facebook stocks? I don't recommend you to do this. Wall Street investors analyzed that once Facebook is listed, its market value will be at least 100 billion US dollars. You have 8% of the shares in your hands, which are worth at least tens of billions of dollars. If you sell it now, you can only sell at most 2 billion US dollars. This is not a cost-effective transaction!"

Jeffrey advised.

"But I need money now!" After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Junsheng asked, "What is the market value of the burn after reading it?"

"…The number of users who are burned after reading exceeds 5 million, and are currently growing rapidly. According to market analysis, there is a great prospect. Half a month ago, Facebook proposed a one-billion-yuan acquisition...”

“…Mark Zuckerberg is quite good at seeing!”

"They want to use Facebook's shares to convert and acquire them and burn them after reviewing..."

“…Tell him, I won’t sell it!”

Grass, can you be more handsome?

If you don’t pay a penny, you just want to buy it and burn it after reading it?

"Then how much money do I have now?"

"Uber's shares plus Facebook's shares are worth about US$15 billion..."

“…I’m talking about funds that can be mobilized!”

Jeffrey was puzzled: "...Why must I use my own funds? You can find a bank!"

"bank?"

Zhang Junsheng was very happy: "You mean, can I borrow? How much can I borrow at most?"

“…it should be no less than $5 billion!”

"I understand, you can go and do it first."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng suddenly felt that he was cute and actually thought about how much money he had, and he completely forgot about the bank...

How did so many real estate developers develop?

First raise tens of millions, build a building, then mortgage it, and then build another building...

Let's mortgage and come to two more buildings...

Lao Wang can buy and buy all over the world with 80% of his debts, and even compete for business with the government and axe!

What's wrong with Zhang Junsheng?

Besides, he has always had a good relationship with the bank, and I believe they are willing to provide loans...

Close the phone, Zhang Junsheng picked up the coffee, had money in his hand, and was not panicked...

Outside the window, the sun is just right, and Burbank City is known as the "world's media capital". From Disney to Warner Bros., these entertainment studios create first-class visual content at the foot of Mount Verdugo.

The whole Burbank is a bit like a film and television city, recreating the scene from a century ago...

There is actually a carriage on the street...

Damn, is this horse pedaling in the 21st century?

Just as I was watching surprisingly, a voice came from behind me:

"May I ask, are you Zhang Junsheng?"

Zhang Junsheng turned his head and was a girl with a very beautiful appearance, with an oval face, long hair shawl and an excellent temperament.

"…Yes, I am Zhang Junsheng, you are Zhang Junmi, right?"

He stood up very gentlemanly, pulled open the chair, and waited for her to sit down, Zhang Junsheng's first sentence was: "Wow, you look so beautiful!"

This is a heartfelt praise...

"Thanks…"
