Chapter 315 Doing business in the United States is not as simple as you think (4/5)

At the reception, the five major helmsmen surrounded Zhang Junsheng and congratulated him constantly.

The price of the shares they received was given at a market price of 28 billion. On the first day of listing, the market value had risen to US$42 billion...

All winners!

Robert Eiger, who acquired the crazy man, raised his wine glass: "Zhang, you were in full force at that time, and we thought you wanted to acquire MGM!"

Zhang Junsheng took a sip of red wine: "I did have an idea at the beginning, but now I don't have this idea. There will be some acquisitions next, but most of these acquisitions are technology and considerations to improve the film library."

"So, you bought the Lions Gate?"

"right!"

Lionsgate itself does not have many film libraries, but it owns Weston Film and Artisan Entertainment, both of which are long-standing companies with more than 5,000 movies…

Especially Artisan Entertainment, in the early years, they reached an agreement with Marvel to make at least 15 comic characters into movies or TV series, including Captain America, Black Panther, Black Widow, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Ant-Man, Punisher, Humanoid, Vampire Mobias, etc.

After being acquired by Lion Gate, Lion Gate inherited the ownership...

Last year, Disney had negotiated with Lionsgate to take back Black Widow, Iron Fist and Punisher.

Tingfeng Entertainment cooperates with Disney to acquire Lionsgate Pictures. In addition to StarZ TV, what Disney wants is more important than getting these copyrights back...

Tingfeng agreed...

The condition is that after reading, the right to produce Marvel-type TV series first!

Otherwise, Zhang Junsheng would not have agreed to give them 22% of their shares.

Robert Eiger changed the topic: "I heard you want to build a theme park?"

"Well, and it's the kind with a cap!"

Thirty percent of the shares exchanged for almost $9 billion in cash, and the acquisition of Lions Gate cost less than $300 million, and reserved $500 million to continue developing new types. Zhang Junsheng directly launched eight theme parks!

Distributed in the United States, Europe and the Mainland...

“…What’s your next plan?”

"Continue filming..."

"I thought you would have done something big!"

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "To be honest, my estimated market value of the following review is US$100 billion. After reaching this data, I can start the next plan!"

“Next plan?”

"It's all built around the entire industrial chain. The next step is to invest in technology. I'm very interested in naked eye 3D..."

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Junsheng said goodbye.

...

At the beginning, Zhang Junsheng was thinking about whether to let Dingfeng win the MPAA club ticket. After thinking about it, he would just forget it...

The peak full industrial chain model has been opened, and now it is only the only way to build a signature.

To be honest, Zhang Junsheng originally wanted to buy a few theaters to play with. If you think about it carefully, forget it. Now the film market in North America and Europe has long been stagnant, and the number of viewers is also declining year by year - the box office is rising because of the 3D ticket price...

Cinemas are originally a sunset industry, so Wanda regards this thing as a treasure!

You don’t make money by yourself, so why bother spending money?

And even if Tingfeng gets a seat in MPAA, what can it do?

The foundation is here.

When everyone talks about Hollywood, they still talk about the six major Hollywoods!

DreamWorks, Weinstein Pictures, are just second-rate characters in Hollywood after all...

The foundation is here!

Moreover, MPAA belongs to the unanimous principle of the six major companies, and all decisions must be unanimously supported by the six major companies. If Tingfeng wants to join MPAA, the first thing that stands out and opposes is probably Sony...

Dingfeng has always had a bad relationship with Sony. Last year, Sony developed a science fiction film about alien invasion, which tells the story of the script development stage. In order to please Chinese audiences, Sony changed the alien landing location from Los Angeles to Songjiang, and even changed its name to "The Battle of China".

During the script development stage, they invested a lot of money, but in the end they failed the review and were rejected by the General Administration... Sony had to change it back to Los Angeles and became "The Battle of Los Angeles" again...

Yuehua has also made a lot of efforts in this!

Because of "The Battle of Los Angeles", Dongyang Media also participated in the investment.

Of course, the book itself is also very stupid. It actually arranged for the US military to go to Songjiang to fight aliens. This completely ignored the PLA. Not to mention Yuehua's efforts, even if he didn't speak, the General Administration would not be able to let such a fool script pass the review!

Then, Sony put the blame on Yuehua that failed the "War of China"...

...

Things in this world are so unfortunate. It seems that everything is one step away. No matter how you catch up, you will never make enough money you need in the end.

Of course, this matter must be put on a not-special premise, that is, you are not a contented person.

For example, Zhang's father called Zhang Junsheng and told him that he wanted to build a taxi software and asked Zhang Junsheng to invest half of the money...

For example, Tang Ningyu told him that Shudu wanted to build a film and television city, and drew a territory of more than one million square meters, which only cost 40 billion...

For example, Zhang's mother told him that she wanted to acquire Riot Company but she lacked funds...

Even the younger sister called and said that her other best friend would have a little money to celebrate her birthday...

In short, after reading it, it was burned and launched, a lot of people came to him for money!

It does not consider North America's restrictions on capital outflows at all!

Yes, supporting foreign investment in multinational corporations has always been the policy of the US government, but economic factors are not the only consideration in the US's foreign economic activities. Encouraging foreign investment and protecting the interests of foreign investors is not the only purpose of the US when formulating relevant policies and regulations.

The United States adopts different attitudes towards different countries and different types of technology exports or transfers.

According to the US Export Control Act, all countries outside Canada are divided into groups Q, S, T, Y, W, Y, Z.

Among them, Group Z is a hostile country.

The existence of uncertain factors, especially the so-called hostile countries, is that the United States has to restrict or manage foreign investment.

It is mainly manifested in restrictions and guidance on the investment areas of technology transfer and investing countries.

Coincidentally, China belongs to Group Z, and it is difficult for Zhang Junsheng's money to flow into China through formal channels, and everyone is very sensitive!

Especially since his money is obtained from the United States, if you want to bring it back to China, you can pay taxes first!

After paying the tax, let’s talk about other things!

There are a bunch of members of the US Senate who covet the funds in Zhang Junsheng's hands, and a bunch of people propose "must defend against Chinese Zhang's political propaganda", "Hollywood does not welcome Chinese people"...

Another bad pen even proposed to confiscate the shares in Zhang Junsheng's hands...

The United States has risen in isolationism in recent years. It is not welcomed by foreign investment or domestic investment, and it is not as good as the United Kingdom!
