Jennifer listened to Simon's emotion and said: "According to the results of my father's recent negotiation with Nokia, we only need about 200 million US dollars to take over Nokia's mobile communication equipment department. Counting the operating expenses of the follow-up investment, the total expenditure in one year is also It will not exceed 250 million, because there are no other large-scale investment projects overseas for the time being, and we can only withdraw the funds to China.”

Simon originally planned to acquire most of Nokia's equity through capital injection, but because of the political turmoil in Eastern Europe and Nokia's eagerness to streamline its business, the other party took the initiative to ask Westeros to take over Nokia's mobile communications equipment division.

Although Nokia's mobile communication equipment division is still completely incomparable with Motorola, Simon found a large number of GSM-related second-generation digital communication technology patents in the process of checking its asset list. The company's other technologies in mobile communication The accumulation is also deep enough.

Therefore, since the other party took the initiative to propose, and Simon has a large amount of money in his hands, he will naturally not object to the plan to take over the whole thing.

Aside from Nokia, Simon hasn't found enough big investments to satisfy Westeros' appetite for the time being.

In contrast, withdrawing the funds to the United States, because Simon's prophetic advantage, not only mca, but also many other goals of investing now are enough to bring him ten times the return in the future, billions of dollars of funds, and the domestic market of the United States is also completely eaten. gotta go.

It's just that the capital gains tax of up to 28% is really painful.

According to the current size of Cersei Capital, all the funds belonging to Simon after the settlement are transferred back to the country, but the tax that needs to be paid exceeds 1 billion US dollars.

Simon even had the idea of ​​changing his nationality. However, this idea was just thinking about it. Compared with other Western countries, although the tax system in the United States is complicated, it is actually not high. What's more, if Simon changes his nationality, his business expansion in the United States will definitely be subject to various strict restrictions.

Jennifer waited for Simon to think for a moment, and said again: "There is one more thing, news from Los Angeles, Australia's Qintex Group and MGM issued a statement at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they have finalized a general agreement. Christopher Skas, chairman of Qintex Group, said that as long as the funds are in place, the two parties can complete the transaction.”

The female assistant said, took out a page of information from the folder and handed it over.

Simon was a little surprised.

In my memory, Qintex Group did not successfully acquire MGM. What is going on now?

Read the statement document handed over by Jennifer, it turns out that Qintex Group has recently successfully sold a resort in Brisbane for $430 million, and Qintex Group issued a $500 million company for the purpose of acquiring MGM Bonds are also backed by many Australian investment institutions.

Putting down the statement, Simon said: "Qintex is obviously insolvent, and there are still so many people stupid enough to join in the fun."

Jennifer looked at Simon's profile and said: "After the release of the Forbes rich list last month, Hollywood's attraction to capital has obviously increased a lot. Orion is also discussing financing with a Canadian company recently. If you get the money, , this company may be able to survive the crisis.”

Simon tapped the document on his knee with his fingers and said, "I can't let Orion survive the crisis. I'm still waiting to buy this company's film library."

He has always kept in mind the proposal that Nancy Brill gave to Simon, and Orion does have a number of very high-quality movie rights.

Jennifer smiled and said, "Is it because of this that you didn't give Orion a quota for the 10 projects this time?"

Simon nodded and said: "Yes, of course, there is also the matter of Orion's arrears in "Pulp Fiction". The situation of this company is getting worse and worse, and if you cooperate with them, you will definitely be in arrears, or even not recover the funds at all."

Daenerys Entertainment has confirmed 5 of the 10 foreign cooperative film projects, in addition to the projects themselves are very high-quality, Simon also has various goals in the choice of cooperative companies.

Fox is because of the Murdoch family, Disney and Warner Bros are because they have worked together very happily before, Columbia because of Matthew Broderick, and as for Universal, the "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" cooperating with each other has arrived. It might end up being your own.

The rest of Paramount, MGM, and second-tier Orion, with whom Simon doesn't plan to work again unless necessary.

Perhaps, after Qintex completes its acquisition of MGM, the company will also lift the ban.

It's still an Australian company.

Speaking of which, compared to Orion, MGM's film library is actually richer, and this company was very powerful in the golden age of Hollywood.

Simon also specifically inquired about the one Capital game that Ted Turner and Kirk Kerkorian played a few years ago, and Turner Broadcasting ended up leaving behind only a telecast of MGM's pre-1986 film library. The right, which is not yet a permanent mandate, will expire in 2003.

So, despite its dilapidation, MGM remains the largest studio in Hollywood.

According to the information previously provided by Janet, Simon determined that even if Qintex can buy MGM this time, the company will not be able to support it for long.

If it can take over MGM at that time and the plan to merge with Universal can be successfully implemented, Daenerys Entertainment will definitely become the media company with the richest content resources in Hollywood.

It can also maximize the commercial potential of Blockbuster's retail chain channels.

The Gulfstream iv landed at Santa Monica Airport more than forty minutes later.

It was only six o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon sent the female assistant back to rest, and he came to Daenerys Entertainment headquarters again.

Before Amy got off work, the two discussed some company matters.

"Scream 2" hits theaters this Friday.

On October 13th, Daenerys Entertainment's comic fantasy comedy "Angel God" starring Daryl Hanna was officially launched in North American theaters, with a screen size of 1,638. Because of the attention The junk bond market thing, Simon didn't pay much attention to the movie.

From October 13th to October 19th, in the first week, "Angel God" earned US$7.16 million. According to the forecast of the next weekend's decline curve, the total box office of the film in North America is about US$20 million. Compared with the production cost of 15 million US dollars, it is not a success, but it is not too failure, and it is enough to easily recover the cost through post-operation.

Compared with other films at the end of the year such as "Angel God" and "Scream 2", "Batman" is naturally the top priority.

The publicity budget of "Batman" is as high as 25 million US dollars. Although Warner Bros. Pictures is responsible for the distribution, Daenerys Entertainment's publicity team is also involved. .

The official release date of "Batman" is December 22. The first 15-second trailer has been registered on major TV stations in North America at the beginning of this month. Starting next month, the film will be released in succession with a duration of 30 seconds and 1 minute and 30 seconds. Several other trailers of length.

Adam Baldwin, Valerie Golino and other creators have recently invested in the promotion of the film.

While paying close attention to the details of the announcement of "Batman", Simon has no plans to participate in the film's publicity activities too much, only planning to appear on some TV talk shows in December when the film is nearing its release.

Busy and busy, Simon has increasingly felt an obvious powerlessness, so he is very eager to pause and carefully plan the future of his personal business map.

In the following days, Simon was still busy with the announcement of the company's various films at the end of the year and the preparation of a series of projects. Stanford University's campus network upgrade project based on Igreit's 'www' technology was also quickly after the Westeros company's donation was in place. start up.

The Westeros Company's PR department certainly didn't forget to properly mediate the donation.

So until October 26th, Simon was hosting the audition for the role of "The Hand That Shakes the Cradle". Jennifer suddenly sent a handwritten text message from Janet from Melbourne. The content was very simple. Follow up with Cersei Capital's hedge. Funds began to flee.

Many people are monitoring the operation of Cersei Capital, and similarly, Cersei Capital is also closely monitoring the dynamics of its peers.

Now that someone has begun to react, Simon completely let go of this matter, whispered to the female assistant to destroy the letter, and turned his attention to the audition in front of him again.

Because the heroine in "The Hand That Shakes the Cradle" is also the anti-No. 1 audition, the casting range is not large, but less than ten candidates are delineated according to the recommendations of major talent agencies. Simon also prefers the original version in front of him. Rebecca Demoney continued to play the female lead, so she directly named the other party for an audition today.

Rebecca De Mornay was one of the famous sexy actresses in the 1980s. She once starred in Tom Cruise's famous film "Walk to School", and the two were also engaged on the eve of the release of that film. News. Of course, everyone in the circle probably knew what was going on, and the so-called engagement would naturally come to an end later.

At the party a few days ago, Simon also met Rebecca Demoney, and the woman left him a very interesting 'business card'.

Rebecca Demoney is an artist under C, and if the time goes further, Simon will definitely not use the other party. With the termination of Michael Ovitz and Barry Levinson and others, Daenerys Entertainment also released the ban on C, this matter is naturally no longer an obstacle.

After discussing the character performance segment for more than half an hour, Simon temporarily asked Rebecca Demoney to leave the audition room for a while.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is in charge of Disney's production business, waited for Rebecca Demoney to walk out of the room, and couldn't help but say, "Simon, isn't Demoney too beautiful, and her acting skills are still a bit poor. "

Simon looked at the audition record in front of him and said, "Jeffrey, a Hollywood actress in her thirties, is famous enough and has a suitable image, so there is not much choice. Demoney has starred in Coppola's film. "Sweetheart" and Cruise's "Guide to Admission" are well-known enough. As for acting, I would like to choose Oscar-level actresses, but neither Holly Hunter nor Melanie Griffith are suitable. Jessica Lange would be a good bad girl, but she can't be 10 years younger."
