Chapter 846: Big News and Small News (Part 2)
The moment he put down the phone, Mr. Han was actually full of sighs. If this acquisition opportunity was operated by Huaying, how good would it be? Unfortunately, this is impossible.
First of all, it is difficult to say that funds are. According to Guo Tailai's estimate, it may take 700 million US dollars to get it, 700 million US dollars! Can Huaying get it? Huaxia's total box office in one year is around 1 billion RMB. Last year, the highest box office was "Kung Fu ranked second" "Although Shenxing Huaying Company is state-owned, where did it get 700 million US dollars in cash to acquire it? Is it not good to invest in domestic theaters with this money?
Even if you apply for a bank loan, it is not that easy. Guo Tailai said that the incident happened suddenly. In such a short time, even if President Han wanted to apply for a loan, it would probably be too late. It was not 10 or 20 million, but 700 to 800 million US dollars. It would probably take several months just to submit a report to approve it.
There are also some other factors, such as political. If Mr. Han acquires it in the name of the state-owned enterprise Huaying, this acquisition case will probably attract investigation from the US Trade Commission. And it is certain that the US government will almost certainly prevent this category involving the cultural industry.
But if Guo Tailai takes action in his private name, the situation will be different. The Trade Commission will also investigate, but Guo Tailai can rely on his own personal relationship to solve this most troublesome problem. This is the difference!
Alas! Mr. Han is really envious! How great would it be if Huaying could buy it? Then how much expansion will it have on Huaying and how great it will be to General Han’s reputation and political achievements? What a pity! I can only envy it, only watch it.
It is okay to help to a proper extent. For example, when the above learned this news, he asked General Han to tell Guo Tailai that if there are financial difficulties, the above can help solve it. If the Trade Commission obstructs the situation in the name of foreigners not being able to buy cinemas, the country can also put pressure through diplomatic channels. Since the United States claims to be a market economy, this does not involve any military secrets, then the market should make its own choices instead of state intervention.
Of course, President Han told Guo Tailai about this, but when he passed it, he felt a little sour. Although Guo Tailai is a private and an individual, he can get more financial help than Huaying, who he hosted, and the diplomatic department is willing to help put pressure. On the contrary, Huaying, a state-owned enterprise, seems like a stepmother, is really enviable and jealous!
The above expressed support for his acquisition through Mr. Han, and Guo Tailai was also very happy. But for the time being, Guo Tailai didn’t need any loan to help. He hasn’t spent a lot of cash yet, so what loan should he need?
Fortunately, since last year, the number one on Hurun’s rich list has already reached more than 10 billion yuan, and Guo Tailai is mixed in it, so it won’t be too conspicuous. Anyway, whether it is Hurun or Forbes, they are not professional financial auditing, so there is no need to show them the financial situation. Continue to advertise in their magazines, and everyone can just go backwards tacitly. Guo Tailai doesn’t need this ranking to do business, and some people are willing to rank ahead of Guo Tailai.
Because of this news, more and more reporters were waiting outside the island of the Treasure Ship Hotel. All the new members wanted to interview Guo Tailai, the real master. But everyone knows that Mr. T almost never accepts interviews. Every time he travels, there are a lot of bodyguards in front and back, and it is impossible to get close to him. But everyone still came, with the hope that Mr. T would like to disclose some news in person?
Guo Tailai was also helpless about this. These reporters were very obedient and never went beyond the line. They just took cameras on both sides of the road after leaving the island, did not gather to cause trouble, nor did they impact security guards. But they didn't leave, no matter who entered and exited, they would be photographed, which was also a headache.
But since the reporters abide by the rules, Guo Tailai is embarrassed to be too embarrassed. He can't drive people away for no reason, right? Whether it's asking the security guard to come forward or asking the police to come forward, it's not very good. After driving people away like that, many people may feel unhappy and don't care. But it wouldn't be good if these people write randomly for the distinguished guests who come to the hotel! Forget it, let's make money with kindness!
Guo Tailai and Liu Yang coordinated for a while, and then asked someone to build two rows of Chinese-style buildings with a very Gusu garden atmosphere on both sides of the road outside the island, including rooms and corridors. Various drinks and snacks were prepared in the room, air conditioners, refrigerators and microwaves, special seats for leisure and relaxation, and writing desks and chairs for simple office work, various power interfaces, and printers and fax machines, which are also available for people to use.
In this way, these reporters don’t have to squeeze on the side of the road and feel uncomfortable. They have to be outside, so they can sit comfortably in the corridor without blocking their sight or taking photos. If there is news or need to write something, they can enter the room at any time. If they are tired, they can take a simple rest in the room. It is much better than squatting on the side of the road every day.
A small and convenient measure doesn’t cost much, but it makes the reporters who are waiting outside very grateful. No matter what, it is much more comfortable to have a comfortable room to shelter from the wind and rain than just staying on the side of the road. This alone has attracted unanimous praise from everyone. For several days, some news websites and newspapers say good things about the convenience measures of the Treasure Boat Hotel.
Of course, the big news is that the investment company under Guo Tailai's name acquires the Amc Cinema Company. After a week of arduous negotiations, Lin Jiayi has now reported the price to US$700 million, and some shareholders of the Amc Group have begun to be moved. Of course, the major shareholder just felt that the price has not yet been in place and wanted to fight for a little more.
Everyone agreed that the Trade Commission would definitely investigate the acquisition, and might urgently stop it after the two parties reached an agreement. There was no such precedent before, and even some lawmakers jumped out to talk about this matter in the middle of the acquisition of foreigners, and some oppositions were common in media and newspapers, which were very obvious.
But strangely, in the public media, there are almost no large media who clearly expressed their opposition to this acquisition. Most large media still expressed their opinions that they should adhere to the market economy and that the government should not interfere too much. Even if there are objections, they are still debated between the two sides, but it is obvious that the opinions supported are still greater than those of the opposition.
Just when most people's attention was attracted by Guo Tailai's acquisition activity, a small news in China also appeared quietly.
