Chapter 146

PS: there's something wrong with the starting point. I'm sorry

AMC cinema has more than 200 cinemas and 1200 digital screens. However, only 65 of them have built their own cinemas, and the rest have joined in. Due to the sluggish market, the market value of AMC cinema is less than 800 million US dollars!

Just when the cinema market was in the doldrums, AMC cinema company suddenly received an acquisition request from IMDB website, which surprised AMC cinema company!

After discussion, the board of directors of the company decided to contact the IMDB website first.

As soon as the news is released, IMDB website is strongly questioned by many investors. Why should a company specializing in website set foot in the real cinema company? If the cinema companies make good money, however, most of them are losing money. In recent years, from the frequent merger of the cinema companies, we can see that the current situation of the industry is not very good!

"This is a wrong decision!"

"IMDB website decision-making level's forehead is clamped!!"

“……”

Innumerable investors and senior analysts on Wall Street have voiced their opinion of downplaying IMDB website!

As a result, IMDB's share price fell 10% that day.

At this time, a tabloid suddenly published a news: IMDB website wanted to buy the cinema company because someone was arbitrary just by preference... Then, the newspaper gave Henry up!

"A few days ago, Mr. Henry Williams attended the board meeting of IMDB website as the chairman of Nicholas group. According to the information provided by the participants, it was Mr. Williams who made the decision to acquire the cinema company! At that time, many people objected to this matter. However, Mr. Williams insisted on going his own way and even said to those who opposed him on the spot, "anyone who is not satisfied with his decision can withdraw his shares on the spot"!! "

Boom!

This news spread, shocking!!!

Henry Williams is still the chairman of Nicholas group, so he must hold a large number of shares, and his value will rise by tens of billions of dollars!!! The next day, the media in the United States and even all over the world were shocked and crazy. They quoted the news from that tabloid and forwarded it to their own newspapers!

For a moment, the whole country is in a uproar!!!

However, it's unexpected that the stock price of IMDB website suddenly rebounded, and the stock price of that day was even 5% higher than before!!!

"IMDB website invests in cinema company, the layout is far-reaching!"

"The marriage of IMDB website and cinema companies can definitely reverse the downturn of the cinema market at one stroke!"

“……”

Subsequently, numerous investors and senior Wall Street analysts have changed their language.

Marcy fillmond said excitedly: "Chairman, since your identity was exposed, there is a piece of good news in the newspaper, and the stock price of our IMDB website has been rising continuously!"

Henry touched his nose. "Eh, right?! Ha ha, it's good for the stock price to rise, it's good for the stock price to rise... "

Henry also did not expect that his identity in the Nicholas group company after exposure, will play such a big response! Before, IMDB website wanted to buy cinema companies, but it was also scolded by investors. But in a twinkling of an eye, the wind changed, and all praised IMDB's investment. When did brother have this influence

"Marcy Philemon, you go to investigate, who in the end divulged my identity to that tabloid!"

"Oh, yes!"

Obviously, some people are uneasy and deliberately divulge Henry's identity to the newspaper, taking the opportunity to retaliate for Henry's acquisition of IMDB website. Just did not expect, Henry's identity exposure, the impact caused by simply beyond his imagination. Henry Williams has been slightly deified, just like the stock god of the stock market, Warren Buffett. He is optimistic about which stock, there must be a group of people crazy pursuit of this stock. Although Henry is not a stock god, the company he invested in is even more shocking

Since the world's super rich Williams let IMDB website buy theaters, it must be right!

If you don't understand, it's only your level!

Otherwise, how can others become a super rich person with a total of 100 billion!!!!!

AMC cinema company learned that Henry Williams was behind the IMDB website. When they negotiated, they asked for $1 billion! Of course, IMDB does not agree.

Henry said to Marcy Philemon: "AMC likes lions to talk big, so hang him first, talk slowly, don't worry. We can buy some independent cinemas with better location, such as China theater! Chinese theater is a landmark of Hollywood. It has hosted several Oscars, and more than 100 or 200 famous movie actors from Marilyn Monroe to Stallone have left their fingerprints and footprints here. These superstar marks have now become the characteristic attractions of Chinese theater

"The acquisition of Chinese theater can not only greatly enhance the reputation and influence of our website, but also increase more bargaining chips for us! When AMC sees our acquisition of Chinese theater, it must think that IMDB may give up the acquisition plan of AMC and instead acquire other theater companies, so it has to reduce the price! "

Marcy fillmond nodded with approval: "yes, that's right!"

Henry laughed, picked up a glass of red wine, shook it, and joked, "of course, we have more than that. AMC cinema is not a lot of join the cinema, ha ha, how to pry the corner thing, I don't have to say, although I am very good at this... "

"Ha ha, chairman, I know how to do it!" Marcy fillmond burst into laughter.

The reason why other cinemas are attached to big cinema companies is actually very simple, that is, with the help of the powerful influence and discourse power of cinema companies, they can get more box office share when negotiating with film distribution companies!

If all the affiliated theaters of AMC cinema line are defected, AMC cinema line will not have much influence. With the 65 theaters built by AMC alone, AMC cinema line is far from having the right to speak before, and the box office share is bound to decrease a lot! AMC's market value will also shrink by a large margin!!!

This move to the bottom, AMC will definitely hurt, forced it had to submit to!!!

At present, the cinema line is in a recession, AMC is really not doing well. The attendance rate of some participating theaters is very low, and they have been losing money. So it's easier to pry into the corner! However, when Henry collected information, he found that the bankruptcy rate of cinemas in the United States is high, and the market is obviously not good, but there are still people willing to take over these bankrupt cinemas! Henry thought about it, Hollywood film company must be involved in it!

American monopoly law does not allow film companies to hold theaters, but film companies control theaters indirectly through various ways to achieve the purpose of controlling theaters!!! Therefore, the film companies are actually purchasing cinemas, but the means are very obscure, so people can't see it. Even if these cinemas are losing money, it doesn't matter. The film companies show films through cinemas to make the films famous. Even if the box office loses money, the popularity of the films can make money on the peripheral products when they get up!!!

And peripheral products are the real benefits of a movie!
