Reborn coal boss? No! I will rejuvenate the country through science and technology!

"No! no way! I hate that ignorant, finger-pointing bastard that is Jeff Immelt!"

Spielberg rejected it outright.

"Okay, then I'll say no to Meyer."

"But, Steven, we have to find a buyer for the company as soon as possible. There's not much money left on the company's books. David

Geffen reminded him.

Spielberg nodded and replied:

"I know"

"The problem will be solved soon"

"If we can't reach an agreement with this Longguo people today, we can still talk to other companies. With the value of our DreamWorks, someone will definitely be willing to acquire it."

Hearing this, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen nodded.

They agreed with Spielberg's point of view.

With DreamWorks' status in Hollywood, as long as the price is right, they can definitely find it. Seller.

About twenty minutes later,

Lin Yuan and his party arrived at the DreamWorks headquarters

"Hello Mr. Spielberg, I am Lin Yuan from Longguo Qingtian Group. We talked on the phone before."

After seeing Spielberg and the other three, Lin Yuan immediately recognized Spielberg.

As a world-renowned director, he has seen Spielberg's appearance many times in various media reports.

"Hello Mr. Lin."

After Spielberg shook hands with Lin Yuan, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Mr. Lin's appearance makes him a natural star. If Mr. Lin is willing to be an actor, I am absolutely sure that I can make Mr. Lin a global movie star."

Of course, he himself knows that this is impossible.

Guanghui International has roughly introduced Lin Yuan's background to him, and he is the top richest man in the ancient Eastern country of Longguo.

Of course, it is impossible for such a person to become a movie star.

His admiration at this moment was just the subconscious reaction of a great movie director.

Because in Spielberg's opinion, Lin Yuan's appearance was really outstanding. He was definitely the kind of person who could be in a movie with just one face. Type of red circle

"Mr. Spielberg deserves the award. Lin

Yuan said politely, and then continued:

"The purpose of my coming to DreamWorks this time must be clear to all three of you. How about we talk about the specific business?"

"US$1.1 billion, 80% stake in DreamWorks Pictures and DreamWorks Animation"

"What do you three think?"

Lin Yuan looked at Spielberg.

He knew that among the three people, Spielberg was usually the one who made the decision.

Considering that Viacom didn't know when it would come out, in order To avoid long nights and many dreams, Lin Yuan did not deliberately lower the price and quoted a very sincere price from the beginning.

Lin Yuan did not intend to acquire all the shares of DreamWorks like the Viacom Group in the original historical time and space, but only planned to Absolute control is enough.

Reserving some shares for Spielberg and others can stabilize the mentality of these three people and prevent them from treating themselves as pure wage earners. This will help them have more motivation to run DreamWorks well in the future.

This This is an important point.

In the original historical time and space, about a year after Viacom Group acquired DreamWorks, the relationship between the two parties broke down.

There are many reasons for the breakup, but the most important point is undoubtedly that Spielberg He complained that Viacom treated him as a mere wage earner and deprived him of his right to independence from DreamWorks.

For this reason, Spielberg repeatedly threatened to lead the team to leave the Viacom Group.

In the end, the two sides went through several During the negotiations, Spielberg raised funds everywhere, bought back the DreamWorks brand, and completely separated from the Viacom Group.

What Lin Yuan needed was a Spielberg who could work for him wholeheartedly, so he chose Reserve part of the shares for these three people.

On the other side, after hearing Lin Yuan's bid,

Spielberg and the other three people were instantly moved.

This price is far from the previous $1.5 billion agreement between DreamWorks and Universal Pictures to acquire all the shares. The price is not much different.

And, in comparison, Spielberg and others are more willing to retain a part of DreamWorks equity.

After all, this is a company that three people have run for more than ten years. As founders, they have DreamWorks also has feelings.

After some bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

Lin Yuan acquired 80% of the equity of DreamWorks Film Company and DreamWorks Animation for US$1.18 billion.

This fee This includes the cost of repaying DreamWorks' existing debt.

After the acquisition is completed, Spielberg and other three people will continue to manage and operate DreamWorks.

After Lin Yuan and Spielberg and other three people negotiated the deal, Wo After on-site consultations, Wolfson and DreamWorks' legal affairs drafted a transaction contract between the two parties on the spot.

With both parties signing and sealing, the transaction was officially completed.

But the moment the contract was officially signed and completed, both parties felt joy in their hearts. Both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.

Controlling DreamWorks, in Lin Yuan's view, is a multi-purpose achievement.

Not only has he acquired a well-known Hollywood film company, but he can also use DreamWorks' distribution resources to provide support for Marvel. With the help of the film industry.

For the success of the Marvel series of movies in the original historical time and space, in addition to the quality of the movies themselves, strong distribution was also important.

In that time and space, before Marvel was acquired by Disney, all movies were produced by Distributed by Paramount Pictures, one of the eight major Hollywood studios.

In this life, Lin Yuan wants to acquire Marvel, so naturally he is unwilling to hand over distribution to outsiders.

On the one hand, he is unwilling to lose this part of the profit out of thin air; on the other hand, he is unwilling to He likes to be controlled by others.

Of course, Lin Yuan has not completed the acquisition of Marvel yet, but based on his judgment, his acquisition of Marvel is highly successful.

In the original historical time and space, Marvel, which had already achieved success with the movie"Iron Man" and saw a bright future, could be acquired by Disney.

In this life, Marvel is still in a difficult and confusing period, so it is naturally easier to be acquired.

In addition, owning DreamWorks, a Hollywood film company, also allows Lin Yuan to shoot and produce many of the blockbuster movies in his mind.

Moreover, as the top director and producer in Hollywood, Spielberg not only has excellent professional abilities, but also has strong connections and resources in Hollywood, which can also ensure that these blockbuster themes in Lin Yuan's memory will not be wasted.

Although entertainment is not his main money-making business, there is no reason for him to take away the money he can earn for free.

Lin Yuan is very satisfied with today's transaction, as are Spielberg and the other three.

It not only solves the financial difficulties of DreamWorks, but also retains the shares of DreamWorks, and can continue to fully manage DreamWorks. This is undoubtedly the best result for them.

Therefore, Spielberg and the other three were very grateful to Lin Yuan for resolving their urgent need.

Especially since they had previously been belittled by General Motors Group, the parent company of Universal Pictures. Comparing the two, they naturally prefer acquirers like Lin Yuan.

Of course, Lin Yuan's wealth is also an important reason why the three of them show respect for Lin Yuan.

In Eagle Sauce Country, money comes first.

Wealth means power!

Later, Lin Yuan began to communicate with Spielberg and three others about DreamWorks' next plans.

The focus is on how to turn losses into profits as quickly as possible.

Spielberg has already considered this issue

"Boss, with your capital injection, I plan to go to Hasbro to purchase the movie rights to"Transformers" and shoot a series of live-action movies in the"Transformers" series."

Hearing this answer, Lin Yuan searched the past life memories in his mind and quickly found the corresponding information.

In the original historical time and space, the first film released after DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom Group The big-budget movie is the first in the"Transformers" series.

The movie invested 150 million and eventually earned about 700 million US dollars globally.

In Dragon Kingdom, it was also the movie box office champion in 2007.

Seeing Lin Yuan lost in thought, Spielberg thought Lin Yuan had objections to his idea, so he explained:

"Boss, the Transformers IP has a strong influence around the world. I am absolutely confident that this project will be successful and it will definitely be profitable."
