Chapter 706 I Have What You Want, Things Will Be Easy to Talk About

The storm of public opinion provoked by Li Changheng quickly became popular not only because of the support of the capitalists, but also because of the participation of the national media.

The wave of boycotting island products, while heating up on the east and west coasts, soon spread to the central and southern parts of the United States.

Now the people of the island country soon realized that if this matter is not handled properly, the products of the island country will not be able to sell well in the United States in the next few months, six months, or even several years.

And, most importantly, how to make Henry Lee shut up.

But the islanders were one step behind again. Before they had contact with Li Changheng, some media had already begun to uncover the war more than 30 years ago.

Even in the past two years, he failed to find a buyer, and Michael, who was an investor, privately reported that he was looking for a screenwriter to write the scripts of "The Attack on Pearl Harbor", "The Battle of Midway" and "The Bloody Battle of the Rope".

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is Michael Gaosu showing his favor to Li Changheng, but the American people don't care about it.

In the 1970s when all the people were struggling to find jobs and the unemployment rate soared due to the economic downturn, dealing with the chained island country could not only vent their inner dissatisfaction.

In a sense, it has always been an entertainment activity for the whole people.

Michael is even more eager for the news to become more and more lively, not only to gain the attention of the people of the United States, but also to gain the favor of Li Changheng, and start the merger negotiations with United Artists again.

After all, the market value of Lianmei is already 300 million U.S. dollars, which is for the shareholders of Migao Enzyme whose valuation is less than 100 million U.S. dollars.

Where did he have the mind to care so much, he wished that the two companies could conclude negotiations as soon as possible, and get on the fast track with United Artists.

Two years ago, "Home Alone" made Li Changheng the comedy box office champion, and at the same time, it also let United Artists open for business, and once again had a second spring.

Although all films were made with small and medium budgets, there are stories provided by Li Changheng.

United Artists has successively produced "Ghostbusters" and "The Hangover" within two years. Not only have the box office exceeded 100 million, but also this low-cost, high-grossing movie, once the first movie is successful, there will be a 100% sequel.

Coupled with this year's "American Pie" and the planned next year's "The White-Headed Detective", United Artists has not only become the envy of Hollywood film companies.

It is also coveted and favored by Wall Street.

It's a pity that Li Changheng wholly owns Lianmei, and the scripts of the big box office movies are all stories provided by him.

Therefore, as long as Wall Street is not in a daze, you will know that the most important one is Li Changheng himself.

However, with the box office explosion of comedy movies one after another, some professionals have already analyzed it.

In the era of anxiety and rage in the United States due to the Vietnam War, and when most people had no money, watching movies was the first choice for entertainment.

Then in the cinema, audiences definitely prefer to watch movies that make them laugh out loud, and even the whole family laughs together.

So the success of three consecutive comedy movies, and they are all examples of being able to make sequels, not to mention Michael, in fact, the other six are also envious of United Artists. At the same time, comedy scripts have been sought after in Hollywood.

When Li Changheng and Randolph Hearst met, Randolph did not lower the price at all, hoping to obtain a 20% stake in United Artists at a valuation of US$300 million.

It's a pity that Li Changheng doesn't like 60 million US dollars, but it's not good to directly reject and propose the idea of ​​​​swapping shares when Hearst needs to win over the islanders.

In the end, he could only vaguely hint that as long as he is satisfied with the performance of the media group in this public opinion turmoil, United Artists welcomes shareholders with resources and strength.

And Randolph, who knew that Li Changheng would not scatter the eagle when he saw the rabbit, was not only not angry, but somehow felt that Li Changheng did not perfuse himself.

Perhaps, this is the invisible advantage of the reputation.

People who have never broken their promise and are more successful than everyone else can easily gain the trust of others.

Then, because the media group has always been a low-profit industry, Randolph began to worry that withdrawing funds of more than 60 million US dollars would have a considerable impact on the group.

Instead, he began to think, should he exchange the shares of the group for the shares of United Artists?

With an asset ratio of 4.8 billion to 300 million, the group only needs to pay 1.25% of the shares to obtain 20% of Luen Mei's shares.

This share does not affect it at all. The control of the Hearst family, which owns 35.4% of the shares, can also draw Li Changheng, an upstart, to his camp.

If Li Changheng knew what Randolph was thinking, he would definitely be overjoyed, and then began to think about how to buy the shares of the media group with a placard.

If you buy directly into the market, if it exceeds 5%, you have to raise a placard to tell the market and the company that someone intends to invest heavily.

For companies, it is definitely malicious in nature to buy quietly without even saying a word.

If you want to buy more later, not only will you need more funds, but you will also be hostile by the management and major shareholders.

For people like Li Changheng, who value the influence of the media group and plan to keep their shares for a long time.

Before the acquisition, as long as it is secretly negotiated with the media group, even if it buys 10% or 15%, it must be acquired at a premium.

But when he wants to use his status as a shareholder of the media group to serve himself, as long as the interests of the shareholders are not harmed, the major shareholder, that is, Randolph, will definitely sell him face.

Instead of failing to achieve the goal, first of all, he had an enmity with Randolph.

However, in order to successfully invest in shares, Li Changheng has to be more successful and at the same time choose the right time.

The islanders who feel that the situation is turning from stormy to stormy, can no longer care about face and interests.

World War II has only passed 28 years, and many veterans who participated in the Pacific War are alive and well.

If this group of people get married and start a business, the old guys with children and grandchildren will jump out and spread the story of the past everywhere.

After so many years of spending countless energy, time and money, the hatred that was finally suppressed will once again surface in the hearts of all Americans.

Li Changheng took Anne, the former vice president of broadcasting, and the current vice president of Citigroup, Taylor Garnell, to play golf at the par-6 golf course of his Long Island Manor, and catch up on the old days.

Butler Meryl walked over quickly, and whispered something in Anne's ear who felt that she was being disturbed.

Then Annie pouted, took a deep breath, and then calmed down and walked to Li Changheng and Taylor.

Said 'sorry' to Taylor, and then said in Li Changheng's ear, "The foreign ambassador of the island country, and several senior executives of the island country company, who are in the US headquarters, are waiting outside the manor, asking to see you."

Li Changheng laughed, "This group of people probably gave in."

However, he didn't want to see these islanders at this time, because he brought Taylor here today because he had changed his mind.

From eating alone before, to now planning to take the vampires from Wall Street to rob the island country's economy.
