"Is this news true?" Norio Ohga threw the newspaper in front of the President of Sony Pictures.
"It's true. The CEO of Wind and Rain Holdings, Ralph, announced it yesterday, and this is Ralph's first big move after he took over." Kojima Cangjie replied.
Norio Ohga took a deep breath. "You still don't understand the main point. It's not Ralph who is determined to get the shares. It's Feng Yu who is determined to get the shares! Ralph is only the CEO, and Feng Yu's decision is the decision of Wind and Rain Holdings! "
He doesn't even know who his opponent is. How did he get promoted to the top management position in the first place?!
"But Feng Yu had not been to the US for a long time. Didn't you say that he had retired?" Kojima Cangjie argued.
"Retired? Have you seen anyone retire in his thirties? Life has just started, and how can he retire? Do you think he is an old man in his seventies or eighties? He is in his prime, and he is full of ambition! "Norio Ohga reprimanded.
Bursting with lofty aspirations? Feng Yu is already the World's Richest Man, and how can he show his ambition? Could it be that Feng Yu is still not satisfied and still wants to increase his assets? Could it be that Feng Yu still wants his assets to exceed 100 billion USD or more than Bill Gates?
If this is the case, then Feng Yu is really ambitious. Kojima Cangjie does not agree with what the President said.
"Never mind. You don't need to care about this. But you must remember that Feng Yu's style is simple and violent. He doesn't like complicated negotiations and doesn't like to fight for a long time for a little profit. He will buy over the companies he is interested in, even if he has to pay a high price for them. "
"But every time, he can turn a bad investment into a good one. It might seem like a bad investment, but in the end, it proves that he has good foresight. Just look at Amazon and Google. Feng Yu's investments were considered bad, but now, he had gotten more than ten times of returns. And this return is still growing rapidly! "
"So this time, if Feng Yu really likes MGM, then we might really fail. Feng Yu could easily take out five billion USD in cash. I even suspect that Feng Yu himself would be able to fork out so much money! "
"However, MGM's shareholders may not necessarily agree to sell the company to Feng Yu. After all, Feng Yu has never run a film company before. It is possible that MGM's brand will collapse."
"But we're different. We have mature management experience, which is something that Feng Yu can't compare to. We can let the MGM brand continue to shine in Hollywood! "
For the founders of those companies, even if the company changed owners, they did not want the brand to collapse. That was their blood, sweat, and tears. It was also their pride.
Norio Ohga's strategy is to use this to move MGM's shareholders, and after they form an alliance, Norio Ohga will become the biggest film company in the US. No, it will become the world's biggest film company!
"President, I know what to do."
After Ojima Cangjie left, Norio Ohga was still worried. He made a few calls to his partners to buy out MGM.
One of them is Hua Xia's company and is backed by the state.
Norio Ohga hopes to use this company to influence Hua Xia's higher-ups and persuade Feng Yu to withdraw from the competition.

"Boss, the negotiations are going smoothly, and MGM's board of directors is still discussing. Our offer is very sincere, and it is 200 million USD higher than Sony's offer. But I think we don't need to do this. Sony can only use leveraged buyouts, and we are offering real cash. Those shareholders should know that what they are getting is real money. "Ralph reported.
"Don't forget that Sony had been doing well in the past two years. Feng Yu had given those shareholders some high-risk bonds, but it also means high returns. Those shareholders might want to bet on Sony to bring MGM back to life, and they will get higher returns. "Masao Kameda said.
"President Kameda, I don't think what you said will happen. Now, the stock market is recovering, and gold futures market is doing well. Those shareholders will invest their money in something else. How many billionaires would invest so aggressively? "Ralph retorted.
In front of Feng Yu, Ralph must show that he is capable enough to be the CEO and not the rumors in the company that Kameda Masao had given him the position.
"Alright. Stop arguing. Ralph, you don't understand people's hearts. If a person grew up in a middle-class family and lives in a middle-class neighborhood, and his friends and colleagues are all middle-class, then he will be satisfied with the middle-class lifestyle and will not gamble for the chance to become rich. "
"But if that person had seen the lifestyle of the wealthy and saw an opportunity, then many people will choose to gamble. Even if they lose, they are confident that they will return to the middle-class. If they win, they will become rich within a month. "
"In our Hua Xia, there is a saying. When you have 10 million, you will think you have everything. House, car, career, family, status, etc. But when you have a hundred million, you will realize that what you have is too little. "
"It's hard to satisfy people's desires. When a person is in a certain position, his desires will be limited. But when he is in another position, his desires will increase by many folds."
A lot of people had the mentality of wanting more than they could chew. When you are only making 1,000 RMB a month, you will be satisfied with a 3,000 RMB job. But when you earn 3,000 yuan and come into contact with a higher level of life, you will want a job that pays 5,000 yuan or even 10,000 yuan.
A person's desire would expand bit by bit. Many people were even willing to take a gamble for it. These people are not gamblers. To them, it's just a risky plan.
"You can tell the other shareholders that if they are willing, they can keep a portion of their shares. I guarantee that MGM Grand will undergo drastic changes in the hands of Wind and Rain Holdings! "
Among those shareholders, many of them had been in the industry for many years. They have rich connections and experience. If Feng Yu wants to invest in this industry, he will need these experienced and well-connected veterans.
"Also, contact the other cinema chains. We want to acquire a few of them so that we can have more big screens. In the future, whoever owns more big screens will have more say in the industry! "
Ralph finally understood that Feng Yu is not only trying to create trouble for Sony. He also wants to become the leader of this industry!
