Chapter 2122 The more outstanding bird

Next, it’s time to get down to business. Zhou Buqi will arrange for several senior executives from Ziweixing Global to be introduced to Wanda to help them coordinate and communicate with AMC Cinemas.

AMC Theaters is the second largest theater chain in the United States. Companies such as Universal Pictures, MGM, and DreamWorks Animation have many years of cooperation experience.

It's easier to push.

During the meeting, Yang Mi would not go. Her mind was filled with questions and she couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Ning Lu, what on earth do my godfather think?"

Ning Lu was standing by the window of her office, looking at the Ziweixing Global headquarters building that was about to be completed in the distance. It was so tall!

A 30-story building.

However, it was just a very ordinary office building with no weird and novel design, and the total cost was only US$280 million. It will be great when we move there. The design of the chairman's office does not need to be so low-key, it can be magnificent and beautiful.

When the time comes, maybe two rows of red sofas can be set up for him to audition.

This area is MGM territory.

MGM was once the largest giant in Hollywood, more powerful than the other eight companies combined. Much of Hollywood's glorious history was spread from MGM.

For example, some powerful producers will call actresses to come to the office every afternoon to give some acting guidance on the red sofa...

"Ah?" Ning Lu heard Yang Mi's voice and looked back with a smile, "What do you think?"

Yang Mi said incomprehensibly: "Even if it is to help, is it too enthusiastic?"

Ning Lu chuckled and said, "Enthusiasm is the only way to show sincerity. This is Hollywood, our home court. Of course we must treat guests warmly when they come."

"He just said that if Wanda loses money on acquiring AMC Cinemas, he is willing to make up for that loss..."

"That was a joke."

"It's weird anyway."

Yang Mi shook her head gently.

She can be considered a businesswoman now, with two companies in her hands, but she always feels something is not right.

Ning Lu pursed her lips and said, "Don't imitate him. Don't deceive people and end up being manipulated."

Yang Mi is very self-aware, "How can I learn this?"

Ning Lu nodded and said thoughtfully: "I don't quite understand it. If I had to guess, it's probably for two reasons. The first point is that I can help you build a good relationship with Wanda, whether it's your job or not. We are cooperating on projects with studios and receiving film contracts from artists. Wanda is focusing on developing the film and television industry and will definitely become an important force in the domestic film and television industry in the future."

"What about the second one?"

"It should be the cinema chain. Wanda Cinema Chain is getting bigger and bigger in China. Wanda's film scheduling rate can often affect the box office trend of a movie."

"Hmm..." Yang Mi nodded repeatedly, which made sense, "Really, if the scheduling rate of a new film in Wanda Cinema is too low, even great directors like Director Zhang and Director Feng will be helpless."

In fact, the most crucial point was that neither of them thought of it.

It's the industry atmosphere.

In today's Hollywood, Zhou Buqi, an outsider, is like a solo player. He finally managed to win a piece of territory like Ziweixing Global. Even if he had the best company and the best resources in advance, he would still be alone. .

If Wanda joins in...

Even if you have help.

If Wanda really makes a big move into Hollywood, and after taking over the AMC theater chain, it then acquires big companies like Paramount or Legendary Pictures, then Wanda’s strength will be even stronger.

This can help share the pressure of Ziweixing Global to a certain extent.

Zhou Buqi's help was really helpful, and it was not without selfishness.

Shoot the first bird.

In the past few years, Ziweixing Global has been somewhat outstanding. As we are about to go public, we need to be careful to avoid affecting the stock price and subjecting ourselves to too much pressure from shareholders.

unless……

There is a more outstanding bird.

Many years later, when Wanda's Hollywood strategy failed and it withdrew from Hollywood, Ziweixing Global, a company that had only been established a few years ago, was really deeply rooted in Hollywood and was no longer afraid of mere shotguns.

After the meeting, all parties were very happy.

Zhou Buqi specially appointed Joshua Carey, president of the group’s distribution division, to provide consultation and assistance for Wanda’s transaction.

After the meeting, Boss Wang shook hands vigorously, and Zhou Buqi felt that the other party's eyes were full of tears.

I guess I was moved by meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Zhou Buqi was even more grateful to the landlord. In the evening, he held a grand dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills to entertain Mr. Wang and his party.

At the banquet, the conversation was very pleasant.

Especially when it comes to football.

Boss Wang is also a fan. The Wanda team once swept across Asia. However, his immediate boss at the time was so evil that he had no choice but to quit after being scolded. He even moved Wanda's headquarters to the capital in fear. Shifting the blame for quitting football to the Football Association and transferring the team to the obedient Ma Zai.

Football is too popular in China, and the football association is quite shady. They allow others to scold them every day. The more they are scolded, the more it shows that they are a relatively clean group of people on the table.

It's even scarier to be scolded and not allowed to be scolded.

Boss Wang was very envious of Zhou Buqi for buying Manchester United. His eyes lit up when he talked about football, and he also said that he was also planning to buy a team in Europe.

Then, we talked about family.

Zhou Buqi followed this topic and said, "Your son is now a celebrity on Weibo."

Boss Wang was very embarrassed and embarrassed, "I can't help it, and I can't control it. The person I'm most afraid of is my son, who will fall out with me after even a few words."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "He is investing now?"

Boss Wang nodded, "Yes, this kid is quite smart and has pretty good grades. But he is not very obedient. Many people of his uncle's generation let him talk nonsense on the Internet."

Zhou Buqi nodded and said calmly: "Yang Mi also told me that he went to ask her out again and again. She kept rejecting her and was constantly harassed."

Boss Wang's expression changed, knowing the seriousness of this matter, and said solemnly: "Okay, I will talk to him later! I guarantee that such a thing will not happen again in the future."

Then, we talked about the company’s management philosophy.

Boss Wang quickly changed the subject to cover up the embarrassment his son had brought to him, "By the way, Kazuo Inamori is suddenly popular in China, you know, right?"

"Yeah. I know."

Zhou Buqi shook his head repeatedly.

Boss Wang asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "In fact, it is a call to learn his spirit of self-sacrifice for others and self-sacrifice for the public. I hope that we private entrepreneurs can learn from it."

Boss Wang said "Hmm", "Where's Amoeba? Many people next to me are studying it. It is said to be a world-class internal management system for enterprises, especially the collaboration between multiple departments and multiple subsidiaries."

Zhou Buqi said simply and neatly, "Not optimistic!"
