Chapter 1021 Yang Ming’s old profession in his previous life!

Krikorian has always been a legend in Las Vegas, although he did not monopolize the gambling industry in Haojiang like Stanley Ho.

Yang Ming had been to Las Vegas in his previous life and had often heard of him.

The other party died in 2015 at his home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles at the age of 98.

At that time, Yang Ming was not able to cooperate with Krikorion.

Unexpectedly, this time because of the acquisition of MGM-United Artists, we really had to cooperate with the other party.

Krikorian was in his seventies, not only wearing a suit and sunglasses, but also smoking a cigar.

Normally in Las Vegas, it would be difficult to meet him.

Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, is different.

"Hello Sir Yang."

Krikorian handed the cigar to the assistant next to him, then greeted Yang Ming and shook hands.

"Hello Mr. Kirk."

Yang Ming shook hands with the other party.

Go into this luxurious hotel with a height of more than 30 floors.

These days, Yang Ming lives in the presidential suite of this five-star hotel.

There is everything to eat, drink and have fun here, and the main thing is related to gambling. However, Yang Ming is not interested in these things, and it is impossible for Chen Zhenhua and others to touch these things.

When Yang Ming checked into the presidential suite here.

Standing on the balcony of the presidential suite, he could see the desert in the distance.

In fact, the city of Las Vegas develops along a long valley. Except for the houses in the valley, there is desert in the distance.

Because there is little rainfall all year round, 90% of the water in Las Vegas comes from the Colorado River. This is a desert city that is extremely dependent on water resources.

Here, this city is entirely for the rich and gamblers.

Whatever you want, you can get it here.

It is now lunch time.

Krikorian invited Yang Ming to have lunch together in the hotel's most luxurious Western restaurant.

In addition to Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Park Jinhui, Yuan Tianfan and others accompanied Yang Ming to have lunch with Krikorion.

Yuan Tianfan has been in contact with Krikorian during this time.

The two of them are relatively familiar.

The two sat down to have lunch at a luxurious restaurant, and Yang Ming discovered that it was authentic French cuisine.

"Sir Yang, I heard that Lafite has been acquired by you now."

At this time, Lafite was not that well-known, but everyone who likes to drink red wine has heard of it.

Historically, Yang Ming knew that the reason why Lafite was so famous was entirely due to the hype of the Rothschild family. They took advantage of the opportunity of cooperation with Hollywood to often embed Lafite into movies.

Even in Xiangjiang's movies, Rafi often appeared later.

This is always advertising placement.

The audience listened and watched a lot, and they really thought that Lafite was the best red wine in the world.

Krikorian also likes to drink red wine. When he heard that Chateau Lafite was completely acquired by the Imperial Group, he was naturally a little surprised.

"Yes, acquired."

This acquisition is really nothing to him.

In the future, Lafite will still be cultivated as a French luxury product.

Yang Ming picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and toasted with Krikorian sitting opposite, then drank half of the glass.

The French food here is very authentic.

When lunch is over.

It's already 14:30 in the afternoon.

Yang Ming met with Krikorian and Yuan Tianfan in a conference room to discuss the acquisition of MGM-United Artists.

Historically, Krikorian resold MGM twice and bought it back twice, mainly because it was related to its true use.

For Krikorian, MGM didn't bring him much profit, and his valuation didn't even increase.

For its real purpose, it plays a very important role.

It was precisely because of that that he resold it twice and bought it back twice.

This means that if the price offered by the Imperial Group is right, he will still be happy to sell MGM.

"Sir Young, do you know why I want to buy Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer?"

"I guess it has something to do with Las Vegas."

"Sir Yang, you are a very powerful businessman. You guessed it right away. It is indeed like that. Most of the current Hollywood movies lose money. However, they do play a very important role in other uses."

Yang Ming knew.

Hollywood blockbusters at this time.

The box office of many movies is millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and the highest one has a box office of over 100 million US dollars. However, compared with the future Hollywood blockbusters that will easily cost billions or even billions of dollars, it is really Not even close.

In addition, these high-grossing Hollywood movies may not actually sell that much box office.

This involves Yang Ming's old profession in his previous life.

Obviously, the greatest use for Krikorion is indeed this.

Yang Ming knows that as long as he takes down these Hollywood movie giants and gets the right movie scripts, it will be very profitable.

"Sir Yang, let's do this. Your subordinates have been talking to us for a long time, and the price is good. However, if you agree to acquire MGM-United Artists and we can continue to cooperate, I will agree to sell the film company. To you Imperial Group.”

Continue working with Krikorion?

Yang Ming guessed what it was.

However, this is highly risky.

Although Krikorian has inherent advantages as a Las Vegas gambling tycoon, it would be really troublesome if he was discovered.

This was what Yang Ming did in his previous life, and he knew it all too well.

"Mr. Kirk, the risks here are very high. The Imperial Group is doing legitimate and legal business, and there is no need to take risks."

"Sir Yang, please think about it first."

The two sides have finished preliminary talks.

Yang Ming and Yuan Tianfan returned to his presidential suite.

Yuan Tianfan just understood a little bit, but he didn't understand it very well.

At this time, in addition to Yuan Tianfan, Lin Xiuzhi, Alina, and Park Jinhui are also here.

Yang Ming said: "This Mr. Krikorian seems to be in the gambling industry or even the film industry. In fact, it is not. It involves financial means."

Financial means?

When Yang Ming said the word money laundering, Yuan Tianfan was really surprised.

Yuan Tianfan was very smart and knew what it was immediately.

"Now Krikorian can sell MGM-United Artists to Empire State Corporation, but he hopes to continue to do that kind of thing together after selling this movie giant to us."

"Boss, if that's the case, that's trouble."

Yang Ming is indeed in trouble.

In his previous life, he was doing this job, so he was chased by the FBI for a long time, hiding in hiding.

Now he really doesn't need to cooperate with the other party on these matters.

At this time, it was obvious to Krikorian that if the Empire Group wanted to get rid of MGM-United Artists, it must cooperate with the other party.

For Yang Ming, this is not a good thing.
