In a golf club in Malibu, Ryan stood on the turquoise lawn like a javelin, gently swinging the push rod, and the snow-white golf ball slowly rolled out and fell accurately into the hole four feet away.

"Birdball!" Summer Thunderstone came over and said a pun, "It's great. I haven't achieved such a result at your age."

"It's too much, Mr. Lei Shidong."

Ignoring other identities, the other party was also a seventy-year-old man. Ryan seemed extremely polite. The two of them got on the electric car and headed towards the rest area.

Because he couldn't guess the intention of the other party to meet him, Ryan rarely spoke actively in accordance with the principle of saying less and making mistakes, except for necessary politeness.

Summer Redstone himself has only seen him for a few times and does not know much about it. However, there were too many rumors about the other party on the Internet in his previous life. He was a media tycoon and the owner of Paramount Pictures, and he knew more or less about some of his deeds.

Especially for the sake of control of Viacom, his husband and wife, father and son, and father and daughter rebelled one after another, causing a lot of controversy all over the world.

In essence, the other party, like Michael Eisner, whom he is familiar with, is a dictator and tyrant of the group company. The difference is that Redstone holds absolute controlling stake in Viacom, which is just a media empire that belongs to him alone.

What did the other party do for him? This is Ryan’s biggest question. Although he never underestimates himself, he does not think he has the capital to ask him to come.

Of course, Jenkins Films is recently working with Viacom. "Scream" will be released in North America soon, and the Canadian region will sign Viacom's theater chain.

Ryan was still observing Summer Thundertone and Thundertone were also observing him quietly.

In fact, before Ryan became famous, when Redstone talked to her old friend Katie, she didn't care much at that time. After all, there were too many talented people among their Jewish people. Not to mention business and science, there were countless art.

When he bets his goal in the film production industry and silently observes Paramount Pictures, it was during this period when the other party rose like a comet. He and his works have succeeded again and again, and it is difficult for people to ignore them.

Success is nothing, but relying on wonderful ideas and accurate audience positioning, the entire industrial chain is driven and hundreds of millions of profits are generated one after another. It will naturally be valued by the entire entertainment industry.

It is precisely because of this that he passed the message through Shirley Lansing last year, hoping to cooperate with him and the hidden interests he represents.

Just like all businessmen, as long as there is enough profit, he never minds whether his partner is a twelve or thirteen-year-old or an old twilight person.

Since then, in addition to Paramount Pictures, he has another person to observe, and he wants to determine whether the other party is qualified to cooperate with Viacom on an equal basis.

The most direct goal is the two major productions released this year, "Jurassic Park" with a $70 million investment and "The True Lies" with a $130 million investment.

The former is the top priority. After all, he created the entire Jurassic Park, and he also personally participated in investment, adaptation, peripheral design and promotional marketing. If the movie and peripherals are really as successful as he once said to him, then the value estimate for him must be at least two levels.

In fact, the box office and surrounding sales of the movie far exceeded the original figures.

Not to mention the surroundings, just talking about the box office, the box office in North America exceeded 400 million US dollars, and the overseas box office that has been counted was close to 500 million US dollars. The North American total box office champion and the global total box office champion have now been confirmed, and the global box office exceeds one billion US dollars is close to the moment.

As for peripheral products, according to statistics from his survey institutions, North America's sales have approached the North American box office. Unlike the box office, this is a long-term credit card, so you don't have to consider repayment.

Yes! There are also revised hardcover novels, which sold more than 10 million copies in Britain and the United States alone.

Even he has to look at the profits generated in this. Moreover, the movie obviously only cut off less than one-fifth of the novel's content, and then it can produce several sequels to continue making money...

There is no doubt that in this summer's feast, the biggest individual is the boy sitting next to him. Some things are not a secret in the circle. So far, through Jenkins' investment sharing and personal copyright sharing, Ryan Jenkins's income has definitely exceeded 100 million US dollars.

This is the amount after tax payment!

According to the estimates of professional institutions, the income he will receive will definitely not be lower than this number in the next year.

And! There are also the already successful "The True Lies" and the upcoming "Scream". Even though the latter is just a horror movie, the name Ryan Jenkins is hung on it, and no one dares to underestimate it.

"Do you have something to drink, Mr. Lei Shidong?"

When they arrived at the rest area, the two sat on the rest chair. Facing the polite questioning of the boy, Lei Shidong slowly shook his head, still silent.

He remembered some rumors again. It is said that Ryan Jenkins is not interested in business. Jenkins Pictures' actual controller is Nicole Kidman, and he insisted on acquiring Pixar Studios, and many people secretly ridiculed as a business idiot.

In his opinion, is it true. Will Steve Jobs have a future in selling studios that cannot be sold for several years?

Of course, this will be more conducive to Viacom and his cooperation.

Summer Redstone came here in person today to discuss cooperation between the two sides.

Viacom Group's acquisition of Paramount Pictures is in trouble!

First, Paramount's management was capricious, and then Barry Diller, the owner of another media giant, the American shopping channel QVC, maliciously disrupted the situation, triggering a judicial lawsuit, turning a friendly merger and acquisition into a standard purchase dispute filled with gunpowder.

The financial strength was not advantageous, and the court lost the case. In addition, the divorce case and the malicious acquisition war seriously damaged Wall Street's confidence, even if Lei Shidong issued a statement to eliminate Wall Street's doubts about him, it had no obvious effect.

Now, not only are there problems with new financing, but many of the more than 7 billion US dollars he mortgaged and raised in his hands have plans to withdraw their investment.

Capital is profit-seeking. Wall Street does have huge cash flow, but if you want to raise funds, you must let them see hope for profit.

How can we give those vampires confidence and tell them that the acquisition of Paramount is not a problem. The future profit of Paramount is not a problem, and their profits are not a problem either?

This is a problem that Leishidong financing must solve.

Paramount is a film giant, and its main benefits come from films and related industries. Successful movies are the guarantee of profit.

Wall Street is not a fool, and it has no persuasion in vernacular.

Therefore, Lei Shidong decided to find someone who has never failed in the film industry and has been successful, and has achieved unprecedented success this year. No matter how you look at it, they will cooperate in all aspects to promote the successful completion of this acquisition.

Is there anyone like this?

If this summer is put before, Summer Redstone would think that there is no such person in Hollywood.

Now, this person is sitting next to him.

This is the most direct, simplest and labor-saving choice. Even if you donate the shares of Paramount points to the other party and pull him onto the same warship, it is used to show Viacom's determination and guarantee of future profits. This will promote secondary financing in the primary market, which is definitely less than the cost of mortgaging the entire Viacom.

Moreover, if both sides really want to cooperate, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to not pay the price.

Although Ryan learned a lot about the current situation of Redstone and Viacom in front of the meeting, he could not think of the specific purpose of each other to find him. He slowly drank the juice, and Redstone was silent. He was also silent.

"Ryan, are you interested in cooperating?"

The rest area is empty, and although Lei Shidong's words are not high, they are particularly loud.

“Aren’t we working together?”

Ryan naturally refers to Jenkins Films and Viacom.

"No."

Lei Shidong shook his head slowly, with a serious expression, and obviously regarded Ryan as the real negotiator, "I'm talking about other aspects."

"I hope to hear the details."

Ryan also put on a serious attitude.

"You should have heard that I'm pushing Viacom to acquire Paramount Pictures. Are you interested in investing?"

What Lei Shidong said was obviously beyond Ryan's imagination, but the other party was a famous media giant and it was impossible to make such a joke. He frowned.

"Why me?" Despite Ryan's question, he vaguely guessed something, "I don't think I'm qualified to participate in this kind of acquisition."

"Because I want to give some people confidence, and you are the source of confidence!" Lei Shi Dongyi pointed out.

Ryan nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he understood what the other party meant.

However, since Lei Shidong dares to say this, he must be the first choice. If the agreement cannot be reached, he will definitely have a record.

Besides, since it is an investment, you have to use real money. Summer Leistone is not a philanthropist.

Slowly knocking on the armrest of the chair, Ryan weighed the pros and cons, and Lei Shidong sat there silently without saying a word.

There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity to invest in Paramount Pictures. Even if you don’t get too many shares, it gives the two parties enough interest links, which will have many benefits for future cooperation.

If it goes well, I will have to find publishers for those two animation studios in the near future. Paramount is undoubtedly a very good choice.

You can also take this opportunity to put a halo or amulet for Nicole...

Of course, since it is cooperation and business, if there is no sufficient profit, Ryan will still refuse.

"One hundred million US dollars, three percent of the shares!"

The old fox seemed to know what Ryan was thinking and spoke slowly. He knew very well that Ryan had enough funds with various sharings of "The True Lies" and "Jurassic Park". "In the next five years, he will collaborate on at least three movies a year."

Although it was very cost-effective to get three percent of the shares of $100 million, Ryan shook his head. It would be too cheap to pull himself into this vortex at such a price.

"In the next three years, we will cooperate at least twice a year..."
Chapter completed!
