Chapter 158 Money, Money!

Yang Cheng secretly smiled in his heart. He knew what Jack Ma was thinking, but unfortunately, it was difficult to achieve it in the short term. The reality did not allow him to put Ahri into the North American market, or he was not allowed to be the first person to introduce Ahri to the United States. Well, his small body can't bear the triple pressure of Wall Street, Silicon Valley and the White House.

Even if the market value of Ahri in the previous life soared by nearly 500 billion U.S. dollars, backed by the increasingly powerful zf of country Z, and the introduction of various capital predators to the board of Ahri, in the end it did not open a window in North America, let alone a window, even They didn't even open a vent, so don't look at the old Americans shouting about freedom, democracy, and peace every day, in fact, they didn't do it themselves.

Don't talk about freedom and democracy, just talk about peace. In the past 50 years, has there been any war without the participation of Americans? Is there any war that was not started by the shit stick of the United States.

Libya, once the richest country in Africa, has fascinating blue sea and blue sky, romantic white sandy beaches, wide and tidy streets, and tree-lined streets. People live and work in peace and prosperity. , has housing security, and the cost of living is low, but because of disobedience, he was portrayed as a dictator and resolutely launched a war. What is the final outcome? Go online and search for yourself.

Therefore, ideals are not based on human will. Jack Ma and Yang Cheng have good ideas, but you can only think about it. If you want to turn your ideas into actions, then you will be greeted with a more cruel reality.

"Let's talk about the cinema, Jack." Yang Cheng expressed his attitude cryptically, and Jack Ma also realized that he was in a hurry, and nodded helplessly.

"I have no reason to object to something that is beneficial to both of us, but to what extent do you want to achieve it." Jack Ma asked after finishing his thoughts, crossing his hands and crossing his chin.

"My goal is to first build a theater chain with a market share that reaches the top three in country Z, and then take this opportunity to feed back North America. Don't forget that in addition to AMC, which was acquired by Wanda, North America also has the largest theater chain of Emperor Entertainment Group , I am very hungry."

This is Yang Cheng's ultimate goal. Due to the U.S. anti-monopoly law, one of the famous Paramount Act stipulates that Hollywood film companies are not allowed to operate theaters. Bypassing this clause by various means made the Paramount Act useless, but no one dared to challenge it head-on. Of course, some people said that theaters are not making money now. This has to be considered in several aspects, let’s not mention it for now.

"I have no objection. I will arrange for people from Ahri Films to come to New York as soon as possible to discuss in detail." Jack Ma decided on the project of the joint venture cinema group with Yang Cheng.

Seeing Jack Ma picking up the teacup, Yang Cheng knew it was time to leave. The conversation with Jack Ma went well today, and a cooperation intention was reached, and there was also a prospect of entering the country Z market, which made Yang Cheng feel good.

Jack Ma personally sent Yang Cheng out of the house,

When the two shook hands and said goodbye, he suddenly asked, "Jason, does your app need financing?"

Yang Cheng froze for a moment, and then showed a smile that should have been so long ago. This is the cooperation he wanted. Cross-holding shares with Ari can ensure the steady growth of his net worth in the next few years, but it is too early to talk about it. After all, the true value of New Era Media has not yet been revealed, so we can only answer, "Of course, but not long ago, it raised a round A round of 3 billion US dollars, which was led by Pershing Square, and the money is still enough. If Ari intends to invest I personally welcome it very much, how about letting you know when I wait for the b round?"

"Okay, it's a deal." Jack Ma shook hands with Yang Cheng heavily, and the two bid farewell outside his suite.

. . .

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yang Cheng showed up at the office on time, signed the document, and listened to Susu's report on the itinerary.

"Boss, a lot of media have sent us interview applications, should we still refuse?" Su Su pouted, with an expression of more than she wanted but not enough energy.

Yang Cheng took the time to look up at Susu, and said with a smile, "Why this expression?"

"I really can't find a reason to reject him. Even if we don't accept other media, our own interviews are okay, right?" Susu complained to Yang Cheng with a small, aggrieved appearance.

In the past few days, as the news of Yang Cheng's entry into Liverpool spread to the world, his somewhat mysterious background information naturally aroused the curiosity of the people who eat melons, and this curiosity is the root of the reporters' unremitting interview requests. reason.

Indeed, Yang Cheng has the qualifications and reasons to ignore the outside media. Everyone has the right not to accept interviews, but it is unreasonable to refuse even his own interviews, and it is easy to create a bad impression on the employees.

After hesitating for a long time, under Susu's pitiful eyes, he breathed out and said, "Okay, arrange the people from Toutiao to do a video interview, and the newspaper under the name of the forum company to do a text reprint." .

"Hee hee, good boss, I'll arrange it right now, this afternoon, okay?" Su Su smiled happily, she didn't give up, she simply thought about Yang Cheng, she didn't want him to be difficult to do in front of her subordinates, and she also I feel that showing your face properly is helpful to the promotion of the company's products. Isn't the image marketing of entrepreneurs also a marketing method?

"If you don't have any important arrangements, let's go in the afternoon." Yang Cheng nodded for confirmation.

"Well, then I'll go down first."

"Okay, by the way, call Ryze up for me."

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Ruiz arrived late, and immediately apologized as soon as he entered the office, "Sorry boss, I just finished the meeting."

Yang Cheng stood up and waved his hands, "It's okay, work is important, I called you here to ask about your company's financial situation."

Ryze breathed evenly, and replied without thinking, "Excluding the subscription of Alibaba's shares and the cash needed to acquire Liverpool, the company's available funds are less than 300 million US dollars."

"That's all that's left? Didn't Allen just transfer a sum of 1.5 billion into the account?" Yang Cheng looked at Ruiz with a look of astonishment, and if he didn't give me a reasonable explanation, he would get out of here. The posture, the 1.5 billion US dollars is the 3g capital shares that Allen got from Lehman's second sister, and later sold it to two partners according to Yang Cheng's instructions. As expected, for the 3% shares The two of them were killed by Allen at any cost, but in order to completely crush Louis Lehman, they did not care about it.

This time it's Ruiz's turn to be wronged, sir, this job is not easy to do, you little guy invests in this today and invests in that tomorrow, spending money like water, now you don't think you have enough money?

Of course, I just thought about this in my heart, and I didn't dare to complain about Yang Cheng face to face with Ruiz's two guts.

I had no choice but to gently remind, "Boss, Lionsgate also needs money to buy the bottom!"

Yang Cheng slapped his forehead, forgot about this, unbuttoned his collar, put his hands on his hips and ordered, "Spend it, I will find a way when the money is gone, remember to set aside 100 million pounds in cash for me."

Ruiz was dumbfounded, another 100 million? Or sterling? I couldn't care less about etiquette, so I couldn't help asking anxiously, "Huh? Boss, what kind of money is this?"

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes angrily, "I've bluffed out the money I invested in Liverpool, so I can't let people all over the world regard me as a swindler, can I?"

The more I think about it, the more I regret it. If I had known that I would not pretend to be 13 at the press conference, I would say that there is something wrong, I have to say that I have money. Now it’s over, I’m really dumb and can’t say anything!
