Chapter 717 DreamWorks Animation
Looking at the two women pushing back, Xu Liang quickly changed the topic.
"Okay, stop pinching me. Let me tell you something."
The two people quickly turned their attention.
"In China, it is the custom 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?"
The two of them exclaimed in disbelief at the same time.
"That's right."
Xu Liang nodded affirmatively and continued: "During this month, you can't take a bath, drink cold water and eat cold food. As for how to do it specifically , I found two professional confinement nanny for you in China
After the two of them sat down, the host and guest took their seats.
Especially for women, extremely important.
Hongmeng North America Headquarters.
“Although I am a good man and I will not do the same thing that you will always give up when you get old, so if you really don’t want to be in confinement, forget it.”
“We Sit.”
The boss's praise made Katzenberg smile involuntarily.
Katzenberg knew the purpose of today's meeting very well, so he expressed his thoughts directly.
The two looked at the father-in-law and mother-in-law who were surrounding the child, and their pretty faces wrinkled at the same time.
Helen said a little doubtfully.
They don’t want to offend the old couple who have a high status in Xu Liang’s heart.
"My dear, we didn't agree before because we didn't understand. It's different now. We know your hard work, and of course we won't refuse."
Once many Western women are over thirty, Aging very fast?
It’s because you don’t have confinement, and you don’t repair the lack of vitality caused by having children, and the reaction on your body will accelerate aging... ”
“Of course it’s true. ”
“It is my honor to receive Mr. Xu’s invitation to visit the famous Hongmeng. ”
"Really?"
"Mr. Katzenberg, welcome to Hongmeng."
I felt quite proud.
"As long as you can convince the old couple in front of me, I will promise you."
Before, my belly was too big and there was nothing I could do about it, but now I have to hold it in for another month after giving birth. It is simply torture. .
"Okay, stop frowning. Confinement is also for your health. Besides, isn't it just a month? Just be patient and it will pass soon.
" Mr. Xu , thank you for your attention to DreamWorks Animation, but I would rather let it go on the market. ”
“You’re welcome, please sit down. "
Christina also nodded in agreement, and the two of them rarely united the front.
"Thank you. ”
I can't cure you guys yet.
——
For three days, Xu Liang was immersed in the excitement of becoming a father.
Just be obedient. ”
Pixar is indeed excellent, but I still prefer DreamWorks films.
Your productions of Prince of Egypt and Shrek were fantastic, especially the latter, which I watched three times. ”
Why do many oriental women still look young when they are in their thirties or forties?
There is a saying that it is difficult to give up on natural beauty. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares about her appearance.< br>
“Forget it, I think you are in a dilemma too. "
"Dear, I haven't been to the company for two months. Can I stop confinement? "Helen said quickly.
But on the fourth day, he had to leave his home full of joy and hope.
The same goes for Helen and Christina.
"Yes, husband. We are the daughters-in-law of the Xu family. Of course we must abide by the rules of the Xu family and the traditions of China." Christina agreed.
Looking at the two people taking the initiative, Xu Liangliang felt happy.
Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.
Helen and Christina looked at each other and said in unison.
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.
Besides, confinement is not a good idea. It can quickly repair your body.
Xu Liang is eloquent and captures the age and appearance that women care about most.
Xu Liang smiled calmly.
"If it goes public, what does Mr. Katzenberg think the market value of DreamWorks Animation will be?"
"DreamWorks Animation's revenue last year exceeded US$190 million and net profit was US$34 million. Wall Street gave us 15 times the net profit valuation, 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 was 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 US$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 beat.
What excited him the most was the purchase price of US$800 million. No one could refuse green US dollars.
But 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 very well that the key to the success of a film lies in distribution.
Hongmeng Now Not only does it own the Hollywood film and television giant Universal, it has also built a distribution system and even a screening system that can cover the world. Currently, Hongmeng's Universal International Cinemas has grown to 132 theaters and 1,245 screens, making it the ninth largest cinema chain in the world. Company.
In addition, my personal commercial real estate company, Taihua, currently also operates theater business. It currently has 19 theaters and 317 screens in China.
Bing Company, a subsidiary of Hongmeng, currently has 240,000 elevator advertising spaces in China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe, and 5,400 outdoor advertising display spaces.
There are 219 display advertisers working with us.
There are nearly 6,000 TV stations we cooperate with.
So, we have publicity and distribution capabilities that far exceed those of other companies in Hollywood.
As long as DreamWorks Animation's films are not too bad, we can help you sell better box office.
In terms of product peripherals, both Universal Pictures and Hongmeng itself have strong capabilities in developing film and television peripherals.
We can provide DreamWorks Animation with product authorization scope in 19 categories and 219 categories.
Finally, Universal Studios, a subsidiary of Hongmeng, is developing family-oriented tourism projects and needs the blessing 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 huge blessings to the development and box office of your subsequent series of movies.
Therefore, the revenue and profits generated by the cooperation between DreamWorks Animation and Hongmeng far exceed those of a separate listing.
Mr. Katzenberg, it has been ten years since DreamWorks was founded in 1994, although its achievements have been very brilliant.
But I believe you and Mr. Spielberg and David Geffen know very well that if you want to make money, it is not enough for the film to be good enough. You also need a strong publicity and distribution system. Support from theaters, rich and excellent peripheral product development capabilities, etc.
DreamWorks does not have these.
But Hongmeng has it, and it is the best.
That's all I have to say, Mr. Katzenberg is a very good and smart man, and I believe you know how to choose.
That’s right.
My subsidiary 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 world-famous.
I don’t know how many people want to invest.
He always wanted to vote, but had no chance.
The limited shares have long been divided up by the old nobles.
It's not his turn at all.
The acquisition amount of US$800 million, the advantages in publicity and peripherals, and 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'm waiting for your call."
Katzenberg stood up, "Then I'll leave first."
"I'll see you off."
"Thank you."
Watch the car go away.
"Mr. Xu, do you think he will agree?" Lu Hui asked.
"Whether he knows it or not, I have come up with the best conditions we can offer. It will be better if it doesn't work. There will be no regrets if it doesn't work."
"By the way, Mr. Xu. Mr. Xia from Hongyan called me this morning. He collected all the funds currently doing default swaps on subprime mortgage products in the United States.
There are two in total."
"So few?"
"Yes."
"Ask Lao Xia to send the information to my mailbox."
"Mr. Xia has already faxed a document."
Lu Hui took out a document and handed it over.
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
Barely heard of it, but Xia Changsheng's information was very detailed, which gave him a sufficient understanding of these two companies.
“It’s interesting, call them and make an appointment.”
"Okay."
Xu Liang looked at the time and drove towards another villa in Atherton.
I didn’t take the time before.
Coupled with the fact that the door of Nagasawa Masami opened for the first time, the trauma was a bit serious, and it was difficult for him to visit again.
It’s been almost a week now. The national highway is basically open and the traffic condition is back to good. It’s time to resume driving.
I parked the car and stepped into the villa.
"Mr. Xu..."
The bodyguards responsible for the security of the villa saluted quickly.
After nodding.
“Are you all at home?”
He didn't keep Nagasawa Masami and Fukuda Shinmei at home as canaries.
When he is not here, the two women also take their bodyguards to visit scenic spots near San Francisco and occasionally attend art exhibitions.
The days were very leisurely.
"Both ladies are at home."
Xu Liang stepped upstairs and saw no one when he came to the study. When he heard the noise and opened the gym door, the scene in front of him made his eyes open. It lit up.
Soothing music plays in the spacious room with solid wood floors.
Two slender beauties are sitting on soft mats doing yoga.
