Of course, it is just some bank interest. In Hollywood, it can only be regarded as the most low-end skills. This is what those Hollywood bosses with no connections will do, and those high-end bosses with connections , what they do is the same thing as using other people¡¯s money to make their own money. But what they do is more high-end than these bosses. The interest rates of some banks are far from satisfying the appetites of these Hollywood bosses. They will invest the temporarily detained funds of others and hand them over to venture capital, or to hedge funds, or even directly into futures or It's the stock market, use other people's money to make more money for yourself. The debts of the giant companies in Hollywood are very high, and their profits are usually very low. Unless under special circumstances, they will make their profit statements look better. Otherwise, their stocks will Generally maintained at a relatively low-end position. Therefore, in the stock market in the United States, especially the stocks of Hollywood companies, retail investors do not buy a lot. They either become shareholders or become their own bosses. The stocks of film companies are not so popular because the investment is profitable. The rate of return is not that ideal. Logically speaking, many companies in Hollywood are very profitable, so this shouldn't happen. But these guys here want to get excess returns, and they don't even let small households' money go, and others suffer. If there are too many, you will naturally not be fooled. Because they know how greedy these guys are. The investment is high, but the rate of return is a pitfall, and from time to time there are losses. It is better to keep the money in the bank than in Hollywood. It's completely normal for the boss here to play such a trick. So what¡¯s going on in Hollywood, to use mainland terms, is that the triangular debt is very serious, and it¡¯s already endangering the health of the entire industry. But the boss here still enjoys doing such things. This is basically the clear rule in Hollywood. People who don't understand this situation basically have no future in Hollywood. A company like Li Mingbao¡¯s DreamWorks, which always has such abundant cash flow, is definitely an outlier among outliers. But even though he is an outlier, he still has to abide by the rules of Hollywood. You don't have to owe others money, but you can't talk too much about the money others owe you. You can do whatever you want. Speaking of gangsters, the gangsters in Hollywood are not much inferior to those on Wall Street. They are all a group of people who pursue the highest profits. No one can say who is wrong. That is to say, because DreamWorks does not owe foreign debts, and DreamWorks still has many foreign debts from other companies, the people on Wall Street have always been very covetous of Li Mingbao's DreamWorks. They dare not accept other companies. Do you know if taking it back will become a big pit? Only companies with clear debts like Lee Ming-pao's DreamWorks would be rated so high by Wall Street, almost as high as the market value of Hollywood movie giants. It's not because they want to praise Li Mingbao's DreamWorks. The relationship between Li Mingbao and them has not yet reached that point. It's just because DreamWorks is not a big pit. Other industry leaders who are really interested in developing in the film industry can start. DreamWorks is the wisest choice in Hollywood. Even those giant companies are not as good as DreamWorks in terms of health, so it is no wonder that they charge high prices. The evaluation of giant companies on Wall Street is not too high, and only those who have been taken advantage of will like to take over a giant company. No one in the United States will like Hollywood giants, because they know that these giants, every Each one is a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you put into it, it will not have much effect. Just like the most rogue MGM, no matter how brilliant it was in the past, it is now a big pit. Whoever jumps in cannot even think about climbing out. And in history, this is indeed the case, every new Joining MGM's consortium will end up either cutting off one's flesh or losing one's vitality. Anyway, don't try to make money from MGM. The real money-makers are the people in Hollywood, or the actual controllers of MGM. , they really sold MGM, and they also have the power to control MGM. Li Mingbao doesn't want to be the kind of person who pursues perfect interests, but he also doesn't want to be regarded as a fool. This time giving money to John and Murdoch is actually an attempt. After all, if DreamWorks continues to bear the reputation of being alien in the future, Head, it has some impact on the company, and he doesn't want to create new rules in Hollywood, so it is necessary to appropriately change the status of DreamWorks. Originally, DreamWorks was for sale, so the higher the price on Wall Street, the more beneficial it would be to Li Mingbao. But now that DreamWorks is not for sale, Wall Street¡¯s evaluation does not need to be so high at all, and he will follow it honestly. People here in Hollywood are just trying to get rich. The valuation is too high, and the giant companies won't be too comfortable. "We don't need the money from other companies for the time being. The patent fees alone can solve the problem, so we can just put the money there and follow the rules. Then from DreamWorks If you raise some money here, John and the others will have an explanation. The film company is making good profits, but what about the program production company? "Since Li Mingbao can't change the rules of Hollywood, he will acquiesce to these. Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his overall goals, there will be no benefit in him being too extravagant. "The TV program production company has been developing very rapidly recently. But in terms of profitability, it will take some time to make profits. When it really breaks out, it should be next year. Now, what they need there is not extraction. funds, but continue to invest more. After all, boss, all the plans you have made are really going to be realized. The amount of funds required is not a small amount. Although Mr. Murdoch will also contribute a sum of money, boss, you also need With additional investment, although the profits there are now there, they are not in our hands. Even if the profits are in our hands, the program production companies will continue to invest in development. So now the TV program production companies. "Bian, boss, you don't want to get any money unless you sell the copyrights of some places, then your investment will be returned quickly and you can make a lot of money," Mary said. "This is what I expected. If we want to make money, especially big money, we must be willing to invest. Without a good investment environment, we will not be able to produce high profits. Regarding this, you have to discuss it with the other side. People make it clear that making money is our ultimate goal, but how to make money is not theirs to decide. Whoever sells the copyright at a low price will have to pay the legal responsibility. You will definitely get it, as long as you work hard. As a boss, I am definitely not a stingy person, but there is one thing. You must resolutely follow my rules. Small things don't matter, but you must give me the copyright sales. Watch carefully. At least this year, there is no need to sell any copyrights. After all, the programs I am doing have not completely conquered the market. Although I have full confidence that these programs will reach that point, others will use them. Let us negotiate terms. When the time comes, we will sell these copyrights at a low price. If we want to obtain the best profits, then the interests of the copyrights must be maximized. Our company is not one of those lucky small companies, they are not. Our company has the ability to independently resist risks, so it is not a big deal for our company to not be able to make money for the time being, or to continue to invest money. The real big deal is not to sell the copyright at a low price. These are the general directions for our future profits. If anyone gets confused, don't blame me as the boss for being unkind." At this point, Li Mingbao's tone was quite cold. It¡¯s not that Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t trust the managers of the TV program production company, but because the previous managers of the program production company violated Li Mingbao¡¯s taboo on this issue. Originally, when Li Mingbao first established the TV program production company, he clearly stated the copyright of these programs, and they did not have any power to sell them privately. But there was a deputy general manager who turned a deaf ear to Li Mingbao's words. When a British TV station came to buy the copyright, he actually started serious negotiations with the TV station and did not take Li Mingbao's words seriously at all. In the end, the guy didn't cause any actual losses to the company, but he still offended the British TV station. After all, the projects that others had negotiated well were almost about to be signed, but DreamWorks unilaterally interrupted the negotiations. It would be strange if the TV stations over there were not angry about such a thing. So after knowing this matter, Li Mingbao still told Mary this matter so seriously even now, hoping that Mary can strictly supervise the people in the TV program production company. After all, these people are very close. It¡¯s complicated. Although Li Mingbao occupies the majority of this company, it is not his sole proprietorship. Both John and Murdoch have a say in this company. The former deputy general manager was actually the person sent by John. , so it¡¯s not uncommon for Li Mingbao to do such a thing. In such a company with complex members, although the initiative lies in its own hands, there is no guarantee that some people below will not be able to think clearly and must cause some troublesome things. Although they will definitely be punished by Li Mingbao after they do something, Li Mingbao He really didn't like to deal with these people. He didn't have so much energy to manage these people, so he had to entrust Mary with it. The copyrights of those TV programs can earn countless amounts of money in the future. Now these programs have just??It has become famous, but it has not achieved a real sensation. Even if it is sold, it cannot be sold at a good price. As long as Li Mingbao was not stupid, he would not do such an irrational thing.
