Christy's report took a full ten minutes, allowing Xiao Yunhai to have a general understanding of his financial situation.
In just a few years, he actually owned so many businesses. Even he was a little surprised.
Xiao Yunhai said, "What do I need to do now?"
Christy smiled and said, "The main thing is that you're the candidate for the head of Paramount TV Station. This position is really too important. Raúl found three of the most suitable resumes from dozens of resumes, and you need to interview them personally. Also, Paramount Amusement Park has 14 cities that overlap with our Marvel Kids Land. How should we deal with that? After all, we can't open two amusement parks at the same place at the same time. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I'm going to shoot a movie soon. Let Raúl bring the three of them to Beijing. I'll meet them here. As for the 14 Paramount Amusement Parks, let's operate them for a while first. We'll talk about it later. "
Christy nodded and said, "Okay."
Just as the two of them finished talking, Xiao Yunhai received a call from the front desk, saying that Paramount's new CEO, Ricky Franklin, wanted to see him.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Okay, let him come up."
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai said to Christy, "David Stehr can't take it anymore. He asked Paramount's new CEO, Franklin, to find him."
Christy said, "This Ricky Franklin is much more capable than Hanks. He's very famous on Wall Street. I've met him a few times, and the impression he gave me can be described with one word: shrewd and wise. Mr. Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded.
Not long after Christy left, Xiao Yunhai met Mr. Franklin.
He was not old, at most thirty-two or thirty-three years old. He was 1.8 meters tall, and his hair was combed neatly. His appearance was even more handsome than Xiao Yunhai's. What left the deepest impression on people was his pair of eyes, which were very lively and full of spirit. It made people feel that this was a person who was full of energy and did not follow the rules.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him, and said: "Mister Franklin, hello, it's nice to meet you."
Franklin seemed to be very curious about Xiao Yunhai, the world's richest man, who was much younger than him. He sized him up and said, "Mr. Xiao, I was a little rude just now. I wanted to see how the 25-year-old world's richest man is different from ordinary people. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and made a gesture of inviting him to sit, saying: "They all have a pair of eyes and two ears, could it be that there's an extra one?"
Franklin smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're so humorous. You give me a very strange feeling. You have a heroic spirit between your eyebrows, and your eyes are clear, as if you can see through people's hearts. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That's a character in a novel. Back to the topic, Mr. Franklin, I wonder why you're here this time? You should know that my relationship with Mr. David Steele and Paramount is very bad. "
Franklin nodded and said, "Of course I know. Mr. Xiao, I'm here to discuss two things with you. The first is about Paramount Amusement Park. As far as I know, there are 14 amusement parks in the same place as your children's amusement park. I hope to buy them back. "
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you still want to build an amusement park. Haha, do you think I'll sell it? "
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because you're a wise businessman. Paramount Amusement Park is a chicken rib in your hands. It's tasteless, but it's a pity to throw it away. If you can sell it to us, you'll get rid of a big problem, and we won't have to spend time building a new amusement park. Isn't that the best of both worlds? "
Xiao Yunhai looked deeply at Franklin and thought, "No wonder Christy said that he's wise and farsighted. If it was someone else, they might be tempted by what he said."
Xiao Yunhai drank a mouthful of tea and said, "Mr. Franklin, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time. My grudge with Paramount can't be resolved with just a few words. Hanks died because of me, and David Steele definitely won't let me go. Similarly, my 3D movie almost couldn't be released in America because of him. I also won't have any possibility of cooperating with him. I'll keep the Paramount Amusement Parks in these 14 cities. When your new amusement park is established, it'll be just right to compete with you. "
"You said that I'm a wise businessman, but that's completely wrong. I've only positioned myself as a director, actor, and artist. It's all thanks to my subordinates that I'm able to reach my current position. Also, I have a bad habit of being impulsive. It's not like I haven't done things that harm myself and hurt the enemy. To me, I'll only feel comfortable if my enemy is uncomfortable. Even if I lose everything, I don't care. Do you understand? "
Franklin frowned and said, "Mister Xiao, why do you have to do this? Hua Xia has a saying that it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. If Paramount and Marvel continue to fight, both sides will only suffer. It won't be good for anyone. "
"Wrong." Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "You don't seem to understand the situation. Paramount's three cores, the TV station and the amusement park are in my hands. You only have one theater left. Now that 3D movies are popular in the world, it should be the world of 3D movies for at least a few years. As long as your theaters don't have 3D screens, I can guarantee that you won't be able to continue operating. Also, Paramount uses our Dream's special effects technology. After a year, as long as I don't renew the contract with you, how do you think Paramount will be able to make movies? Now that Paramount's life is in my hands, do you think both sides will suffer? "
Franklin laughed bitterly and said, "That's right. You're right, we're at a dead end now. Unless you can open a door for us, Paramount will be blocked. Mr. Stehr asked me to be the CEO of Paramount. In fact, I was very unhappy because there were too many problems with it. Mr. Xiao, I won't hide it from you. The second thing I want to discuss is the 3D screen modification. It looks like you won't agree. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I can agree, but the price is the same as what I said before. It has to be increased by ten times. If you agree, then sign it. If you don't, then go back and wait for death. Mr. Franklin, I don't have any bad intentions towards you. I'm just targeting Paramount and Steer. I'm sorry to have made you come here for nothing. "
Ricky Franklin sighed and said, "I didn't expect the two companies to be so incompatible. Forget it, I'll report to Mr. Steer and see what he thinks. Mr. Xiao, I hope you can reconsider. Goodbye. "
"Goodbye."
After Ricky Franklin left, Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "This person doesn't show his emotions. He's a little unpredictable."
