Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing held hands and looked around under Joseph's guidance.
After the three of them walked out of the living room, Sal said, "Kree, you haven't told me what they do yet. Do you have any money for me? You know that I'm not having a good time now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold this villa. "
Kree smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. They are big stars in Hua Xia and have tens of billions of dollars in their hands. As long as they like it, let alone one, even ten sets will not be a problem. "
Sal said in surprise, "Are all big stars in Hua Xia so rich? They can easily have tens of billions of dollars. "
Kree smiled and said, "Of course not. Xiao is a peerless genius. He used his talent to obtain tens of billions of dollars in just two years. A while ago, he directed a TV series called 'Langya List'. Do you know how much he earned? "
Sal asked curiously, "How much?"
Kree stretched out two fingers and looked at him with a smile.
Sal said in surprise, "He can earn 200 million dollars from a TV series. That's amazing."
Kree shook his head and said with a faint smile, "Sal, if it was only 200 million dollars, do you think I would talk about it alone?"
Sal was stunned. Then, his eyes almost popped out. With an expression as if he had seen a ghost, he said with difficulty, "Don't tell me it's two billion dollars?"
Kree smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. It's two billion dollars."
"That's impossible." Sal suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief and said, "How can a TV series be sold for two billion dollars?"
Kree said, "How is it impossible? Xiao's TV series has a ridiculously high rating. Almost two billion people in Asia have watched it. Moreover, the TV station gave him a lot of advertising shares, so it's not difficult to earn two billion dollars. "
Sal opened his mouth and said, "It's really amazing. I've worked hard for ten years, but I can't earn as much as a TV series. Kree, since he's a celebrity and so rich, I wonder if he's interested in the cinema chain? "
Kree frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Although Sal liked to tinker with villas and make some money from them, his real business was actually the television station.
This was his father's inheritance and 10% of Global Cinema's shares.
Sal said, "Recently, my TV station has been in a slump. The ratings for three consecutive TV series have been extremely low. The advertisers who worked with me in the past are all avoiding me. The reason why I sold the house was for the operation of the TV station. However, this money couldn't help me solve my problem completely. I had no choice but to sell my shares in Global Cinema. As you know, the Universal Cinema hasn't been doing well in the past two years. "
Kree asked in confusion, "Since you're going to sell, why don't you sell to the other shareholders of Global?"
When Sal heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy. He said hatefully, "Of course I went to find them first. However, these people were all greedy and greedy. The highest bid was only 1.2 billion USD. Hehe, the market price of Global Cinema is more than 22 billion, and 10% of my shares is only 1.2 billion. Kree, if it were you, would you sell it? "
Kree said, "Of course I wouldn't sell it. They're really too much. However, Sal, you have to think carefully. The film industry will become more and more developed in the future. Although Global Cinema hasn't been doing well in the past two years, it will definitely have a very good future. It's really a pity for you to sell it now. "
Sal said, "Kree, do you want to buy it? If you do, I only want 2 billion USD. "
Kree shook his head and said, "How can I have so much money? Sal, although our MGM Grand seems to be very glamorous, we don't have much liquid capital. If it weren't for 'Travel the Universe' bringing us more than 2 billion USD, I'm afraid we would have to go to the bank for a loan. However, I think Xiao should be very interested, and he can take it out. "
Sal smiled and said, "When he comes back, I'll have a good discussion with him."
An hour later, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing finished touring the manor and came back talking and laughing.
Kree said, "What do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "It's very good. The facilities here are complete and the environment is beautiful. We're very satisfied. However, Mr. Sal, 120 million USD is too high. According to the current price of villas, 100 million USD should be about right. "
Sal hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, 120 million USD is my base price. I won't back down even a little on this point. If I wasn't in urgent need of money, I wouldn't be willing to sell such a good place at all. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said with a smile, "Then there's no other way. Although my wife likes this place very much, she feels that the price is too high. It seems that we can only find another cheaper villa. I'm sorry to disturb you. Kree, let's go. "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Sal suddenly felt a little anxious.
This villa had been put up for sale for more than two months. Because the price was too high, almost no one was interested in it.
Now, under Kree's introduction, it was not easy to meet a capable and sincere customer like Xiao Yunhai. Of course, Sal was not willing to let it go.
Thus, Sal got up and said, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, please don't worry. As for the price, we can still discuss it further. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Sal, my wife and I are Hua Xia people. The longest time we live in Los Angeles is three months. Therefore, 100 million USD is the highest price we can offer. If you agree, we can go through the formalities and I can give you the money this afternoon. If you don't agree, then we can only say sorry. "
After thinking about it, Sal asked Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing to sit down first. Then he said, "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are very interested in American cinemas?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Sal, we're talking about villas right now. Why are you talking about cinemas?"
Sal said, "Mr. Xiao, I have 10% of the shares of Universal Cinemas. I don't know if you are interested? “
"Shares of Universal Cinemas?" Xiao Yunhai was shocked, but his expression did not change. He asked, "Mr. Sal, why do you want to sell it?"
After Sal explained the reason, he said, "Mr. Xiao, I can sell it to you according to the market price."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Wanqing nudged him and said, "Mr. Sal, as far as I know, Universal Cinemas was built 20 years ago. There was almost no maintenance during that time. Whether it is the equipment or the cinemas, they are all very old. In the past two years, Universal Cinemas has been in a state of not making ends meet due to poor management. If we buy it according to the market price, I am afraid that not only will we not make money, but we will also lose money every year. Am I right? " "Yes, Mr. Sal."
Xiao Yunhai looked at Zhao Wanqing in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect her to be so familiar with Universal Cinemas.
Kree was also very surprised. This was the reason why he did not buy Universal Cinemas. It was just that both sides were his good friends, and he could not say anything in the middle.
Sal smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect Ms. Zhao to be so familiar with Universal's current predicament. That's right, Universal does have a problem with its operations, but it's not like there is no solution. "
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "The major shareholder of Universal Cinemas is Mr. David, the president of Universal Film Company. He owns 63% of the shares. Unless he agrees to renovate the cinemas or accept foreign investment, it will be difficult for Universal Cinemas to change. Mr. David seems to be in a very difficult situation now. "
Xiao Yunhai's face did not change, but in his heart, he already wanted to worship his wife.
Usually, when they were together, Xiao Yunhai made almost all the decisions, and Zhao Wanqing supported him unreservedly.
Now that he saw her negotiating with Sal, Xiao Yunhai suddenly realized that as the young lady of Hanhai Film Investment Company, Zhao Wanqing's ability was not lower than his. In the business field, she was even better than him. It was just that she was very good at hiding and did not want to steal his limelight.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that she was worried about him not knowing about Universal's internal affairs, she would probably still hide behind him and willingly enjoy his protection.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai loved Zhao Wanqing even more. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Sal laughed and said, "There's a saying in Hua Xia that women are not inferior to men. It should be referring to Ms. Zhao. So, you're not willing to buy it. "
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "My husband values the cinemas very much. If the price is right, he will still buy it."
Sal asked, "Then how much does Ms. Zhao think is appropriate?"
Zhao Wanqing glanced at Xiao Yunhai and found that he was nodding slightly at her.
Zhao Wanqing knew that he wanted her to make the decision. With her husband's support, Zhao Wanqing was shocked and said decisively, "The highest is 1.5 billion US dollars."
Sal frowned and said, "That's impossible. According to the current market price … "
Zhao Wanqing interrupted him and said, "Mr. Sal, with the current situation of Universal Cinemas, as long as the stock market fluctuates, its share price will definitely plummet. We're using 1.5 billion US dollars to buy 10% of Universal Cinemas' shares. It's a very risky thing in itself. I'm even worried that it will cause us to lose everything. So, no matter what you say, we won't change our mind. The villa is 100 million US dollars, and the Universal Cinemas are 1.5 billion US dollars. This is our bottom line. I'm sorry, I was a bit rude just now. "
Sal looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you also think the same?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "She's our family's finance minister. All the money I earn is with her, so I don't dare to not listen to her."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Sal smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao is not only beautiful, but also so smart. It's really enviable that you can marry her."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "The proudest thing in my life is to be able to marry her."
Sal sighed and said, "1.7 billion US dollars, and I'll give you the villa and the cinema. This is also my bottom line. "
Zhao Wanqing didn't even think and said, "Deal."
Sal was obviously stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He asked again, "What did you just say?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "The villa and the cinema add up to 1.7 billion US dollars. We agree."
Sal suddenly turned to look at Kree and said, "Am I stupid?"
Kree nodded and said, "Yes, you are stupid. However, it's definitely a good thing for you to have 1.7 billion USD all of a sudden. "
Sal said, "You're right. Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, when can the two of you gather the 1.7 billion US dollars? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "After signing the contract, the money will be immediately transferred to your account."
Sal stood up and said happily, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's sign the contract right away. "
Two hours later, both contracts were signed under the witness of both parties' lawyers.
