Hollywood New Century

In a private club in the West Hollywood area of ​​Los Angeles, Simon brings Nina Jacobson and Sonia Roman to a meeting with the Big Three of Universal.

Jean Mayer has been in Universal Pictures for many years and has a high reputation in Universal Pictures. The CEO of Universal Pictures has changed several people in recent years.

"Congratulations," Simon said with a smile as they sat around the sofa.

Adam Ferguson, who took over from Jean Mayer's former president's position, was an external rookie and a little reserved.

"Simon, it's time to congratulate you. Xinghai Pictures has done a great job this year, and good movies have been released one after another," said Jean Mayer, who was an agent and one of the five founders of CAA.

He has a strong relationship in Hollywood and many years of working experience, but he is jealous of the strong rise of Xinghai Pictures.

Universal has indeed had a bad year this year. The two blockbusters in the summer, the sci-fi comedy "The Lost Continent" and "Public Enemy" starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, have invested over 100 million yuan and have no box office results. meet company expectations.

Universal Pictures took the shot this year, and only one "Fast and Furious 4".

"I've already met with Vivendi CEO Gene Bernard, and GE can buy back the 20 percent of NBCUniversal from Vivendi first," said Jeff Zucker at this time. Opened up.

"Well, then what?" Simon asked.

"GE does have the idea of ​​selling NBC Universal, but whether it's Doncaster or Xinghai Entertainment, we want to form a new company, including NBC Universal Entertainment, and GE will have a half stake," Jeff Zucker said. shareholders' demands.

"It's impossible!" Nina Jacobson directly objected.

"Also, the newly formed company will definitely be directed by Xinghai Entertainment, and NBC Universal fully cooperates with Simon's reorganization and leadership," Jeff Zucker continued.

Simon listened to Jeff Zucker's words and just smiled, and he dared to mention this condition.

"It seems that the losses of NBC Universal are still not serious enough?" Simon shook his head and said casually,

"I want to acquire NBC Universal, not to cooperate with you. The cash and equity model will not change, but I will not take out too many shares to trade!"

"Simon, does Xinghai Entertainment still have such a large amount of money? I know Xinghai Entertainment is issuing a bond, but the market value of NBC Universal is not cheap," Jean Mayer reminded.

"Also, Doncaster is also very interested in us," Adam Ferguson also explained.

"There are many funds and banks that have always supported us, and we have no shortage of capital," Sonia Roman said domineeringly at this time.

This was just a high-level exchange between the two groups, and the three-hour meeting basically had no effect.

"They are raising prices on the ground, and Doncaster is raising prices," Nina Jacobson frowned after the end.

After all, Doncaster is the largest network and cable provider in the United States, and it also controls a lot of TV stations. The cooperation with NBC will indeed be more in line, with better and more complete channels.

The advantage of Xinghai Entertainment is of course the content production of film and television, and content is the biggest capital of Xinghai Entertainment.

"Notify Northern Securities, Goldman Sachs, Metropolitan Insurance, and BlackRock that we need financial support, and entrust Blackstone to buy NBC Universal for us," Simon said, adding his own nine-headed bird fund. With these funds investing in companies, funding should not be a problem.

Blackstone Group has a lot of network and also has rich experience in undertaking acquisitions of large companies.

Now, it's time for a showdown, let's fight Doncaster.

The acquisition of a large-scale group is not a simple matter, and the preliminary preparations are also very complicated, such as asset evaluation, risk control and capital preparation, or shareholder lobbying and competitor research, etc.

Jessica Alba takes a dip in the pool at Simon's Beach House, Santa Monica, Los Angeles.

Simon sat on the beach chair next to him and flipped through the newspaper. After all, Xinghai Entertainment and Doncaster's public offer to buy NBC Universal was big news.

After all, Xinghai Entertainment is really a too young company, will Hollywood meet again to lead a new reshuffle?

Simon Pike, who is less than 30 years old, is more famous than the younger Zuckerberg who is rising rapidly because he is in the Hollywood circle.

Not only are there more assets, but more because one is a Harvard University and the other is just a film and television major in Southern California.

A living parent and an orphan are a stark contrast.

"Hey," Simon put down the newspaper and stood up. The sun was a little bit drying, and Simon didn't like sunbathing very much.

"Simon, put on the sunscreen for me," said Jessica Alba, her chocolate-brown skin that did shine in the sun.

Jessica Alba immediately lay down on the beach chair to sunbathe, and unbuttoned her bra.

Simon picked up the sunscreen and smeared it on the girl's body.

"Honey, your figure is still so good," Simon said with a smile while smearing,

"As expected of a Hollywood **** girl!"

"Good media are reporting all kinds of news about you now! Does Xinghai Entertainment really want to participate in the acquisition of NBC Universal?" Jessica Alba is now mainly busy with her own e-commerce company, but she is also a Hollywood **** , of course, will pay attention to such a major event.

"There are indeed a lot of media, so it's not that I don't live in Beverly Hills now, and the beach villas in Marbury and Santa Monica can also be quieter. The acquisition of NBC Universal is also a long-term process, take your time! "Simon didn't explain much.

"By the way, how many movie projects do you receive now?" Simon asked suddenly.

"Yeah, but now I'm turning down some R-rated works," Jessica Alba now has Simon to support her startup, and really doesn't want to show off her body in some R-rated movies.

"However, for some romantic comedy invitations, I will still accept it, and I still have to maintain the heat," Jessica added.

Simon nodded, Jessica Alba's career in movies is not strong, and her acting skills are basically not much.

That is to show **** in the movie, as a vase, since now she wants to spend time on entrepreneurship, that's okay.

At least, with the **** displays of the past few years, there is still no problem with Jessica Alba's popularity. After all, the list of **** actresses in magazines has always been the famous one.
