The current Neil Fast Food Chain, Neil Cinema Hairstyles, and Neil Convenience Stores have built three brand new buildings behind American and Australian Paper.

The greenery and neat and orderly parking lot downstairs make it impossible to tell that there has been a fire here.

Tao Xi hung a red work badge specially prepared for him by Old West around his neck and walked to the office dedicated to Old West.

Old West, who is already over sixty years old, is sitting at his desk in high spirits, reviewing documents handed over by nearly 14 secretaries.

The four walls are full of photos of old West and American business tycoons as well as the development history of Neil Group.

When these secretaries saw the red work badge hanging around Tao Xi's neck, many of them showed a hint of surprise in their eyes!

After all, this is a badge that only the chairman can wear.

There were also some secretaries who had met Tao Xi once and all said hello to Tao Xi.

"Oh! Tao Xi, you are finally here. I thought you would forget about small households like us when you have a big company."

Old West waved to a large group of secretaries and then took the initiative to stand up and move a chair for Tao Xi.

"West, you are living a good life as a child! Each of these secretaries is prettier than the last!"

"You don't know that my Sunshine Industrial Group office is full of men, not a single woman!"

Tao Xi looked at the group of glamorous American urban beauties in front of him and complained to Old West with envy.

"Wow, there is really no way!"

"Who told Sunshine Industrial Group to work together with the Red Foundation?"

“It’s not like you don’t know Jin Xi’s true character!”

Old West first took the initiative to hand the company's financial report to Tao Xi, and then took out all the details of Neil Group's expenses and income in the past year.

"Although the investment in the past year has exceeded the output, we can recover all costs next year at the latest. Nelson is now very dissatisfied with the work content of the investment promotion department, so our payback cycle is longer."

Tao Xi couldn't help but smacked his lips when he saw the 75% profit of Neil's hot dog fast food chain.

But what’s surprising is actually not these, but the revenue of Neil United Cinemas!

The total invoice revenue of US$1.2 billion covers 70% of the group's investment and expenditure items, and the remaining 30% is basically convenience and catering revenue.

"Is Hollywood so profitable these days?"

Old West rubbed his nose and replied in a low voice: "Actually, it's not Hollywood that makes money, it's because our distribution costs are very low! Others have started to use the secret key, and we are still using the copy film!"

"A copy of film can be pressed for $750!"

"We acquired a film factory in Long Beach, and the cost can be reduced to about $400!"

Tao Xi's eyes widened when he heard Old West's answer.

You must know that a secret key for other theaters basically costs thousands of dollars or tens of thousands, which is a price difference of dozens of times!

The price of copying the film and the key depends entirely on the ticket price of the theater. If this is the case, it is no wonder that MGM, Disney and Neal Joint Cinemas have a back and forth.

"Well, old West, the only thing I hope for now is that you'd better live a little longer!"

Old West blushed when he heard Tao Xi's comforting words: "Hahaha, Tao Xi, I suddenly have something to ask you about."

"Go ahead, I support everything you say!"

"Do you remember my son-in-law? He was spotted by the editorial department of 20th Century Fox, where he wrote a movie. Unfortunately, they were not willing to accept the script."

"I remember you said at the beginning that Neil United Cinemas cannot be the main sponsor of a movie until the right time comes. But recently, my daughter has been quarreling with me for a long time because of this matter and refused to invest in the movie."

Old West complained to Tao Xi with a distressed look on his face.

Tao Xi was stunned when he heard Old West's words. Although the Panama matter had been resolved, Tao Xi really didn't want to add any more trouble to himself.

But let’s not talk about Old West’s dedicated work, just talking about his management level and innovation ability of the enterprise are really good.

Without Old West's perseverance at work, none of the three brothers would be able to do it, let alone Nelson, who only knows how to make hot dogs!

"shoot!"

“Why can’t we take pictures!”

"Let's talk about it after filming, doesn't it still have MGM? The copyright is in the hands of the company, let MGM come over to participate in the filming!"

"Put all the pressure on MGM."

Tao Xi's answer was like giving Old West a shot in the arm. Old West, who was still a little red in the face, instantly became much happier.

But it has to be said that with the support of Neal United Cinemas, MGM has once again blossomed into the glory of this century-old enterprise, and Peter Lamont has even become a man of MGM's most important words!

On several occasions when Tausi was in Panama, Peter Lamont even contacted Tausi privately and asked Tausi to invest in the acquisition of MGM.

Although Tao Xi didn't know how this little old man knew he had money.

But at that time, Tao Xi's mind was not focused on Hollywood at all. The large deal of the Nicaraguan Mining Group really made Tao Xi, a person who had never seen big money, excited for several days.

But when Tousi returned, MGM changed hands again, at a price of US$2.1 billion.

Peter Lamont didn't contact him for a long time because of this matter.

If Old West hadn't mentioned it today, Tao Xi might have forgotten about it.

But Tao Xi didn't need to look to know that the real estate developer who purchased MGM must be doing it for MGM's land in Burbank and MGM's movie IP library. Those real estate developers who only have land in their eyes must look down on it.

.

"When the time comes to negotiate with that old man Peter Lamont, we can properly probe his mouth to see what his current views on MGM are."

When Old West heard what Tao Xi said, he immediately became interested.

"Are you planning to buy MGM?"

Tao Xi hesitated and thought for a long time before replying: "Well, if the price is right, just take over MGM. Blindly relying on others is not what we want after all. You must be more profitable than me for the movie."

It’s clear that we just need to grasp the profits well. We want to get it from the producers, and we also want to get it from the distribution channels!”

Before Tao Xi met Murdoch, he only knew that newspapers and periodicals were just a way for people to obtain news. But since he met Murdoch, he finally understood that newspapers can not only let people know the ins and outs of something,

Sometimes it can also influence some people's opinions.

Tausi can tell from the way Buffett and Murdoch get along that Buffett both hates and respects people like Murdoch, and also has a trace of fear.

Just look at the last time Murdoch got the shares of [Nicaragua Mining Group].

All of Murdoch's newspapers and television stations began to trumpet the company's awesomeness and practical value.

This period was also a period when [Nicaragua’s] stock prices were inflated wildly.

It was not until Murdoch left that the share price of Nicaraguan Mining Group stabilized at around US$120 billion.

The group of Wall Street bankers wasted nearly three months trying to increase Nicaragua's valuation again.

It was after that time that Taosi relied on Murdoch's operating model of promoting public opinion in the stock market and used the newly acquired [Panama Star] to imitate the situation in Central America.

The effect is really good!

Coupled with the questioning from Britain's Prince William, Noriega became a little nervous.

Without the pressure from public opinion, I believe it would still take some time before the acquisition of the Panama Canal.

Movies are also part of the media. What Tao Xi lacks now is such an opportunity!

The New York Post and Reuters plus the shares of TV Tokyo still have a way to go for Taosi to build his own undefeated golden image.

MGM has the oldest home theater hair channel in Hollywood.

At its peak, MGM Home Cinema had nearly 7 million home subscribers across the United States.
