Chapter 1013： Are you being targeted?

The Sun Valley Conference spread very widely.

More than 300 business elites from across the United States participated.

Why 300 people, because the conference hall in Sun Valley can only accommodate these people at most.

Usually, Bill Gates attends these kinds of rallies for a day at most. But at the Sun Valley meeting, Bill Gates will stay here for 5 days with his wife and children.

As Michael Eisner said: "The Sun Valley Conference is both a summer camp and an academic exam."

The host, Herb Allen, is a true gentleman who always speaks and listens carefully. Such people are often easily respected by others.

"As an old company with a long history, the biggest problem is bureaucracy." When communicating with Dunn, Herb Allen didn't mind revealing some of the shortcomings of Allen's company, "After I took over the company, Get rid of committees big and small in the company. Speaking of which, there is also your factor."

"I?"

Dunn was a little surprised.

It is difficult to tell whether the other party is deliberately complimenting.

Herb Allen laughed: "Currently, the Allen Company has only two committees left, the Fire Prevention Committee and the Sexual Harassment Committee. The Fire Prevention Committee needs not to be mentioned, it is determined by the location of Sun Valley. Sexual harassment ... earlier Year, this concept does not exist, at least not on the outline. Because of your promotion, the trend of feminism is becoming more and more prosperous. This is of course a good thing, and I am happy to see more protection of women's rights. "

Dunn was ashamed.

I can't tell the truth of the other party's words.

However, the way of speaking in such a spring breeze and rain really makes people feel comfortable.

When the big shots in Hollywood speak, they are either domineering, flattering, or old-fashioned... In short, the attitude of deliberate "performance" is very strong.

Herb Allen was able to gather talents and come up with the Sun Valley Conference of the Business Association. He really had a somewhat approachable temperament.

Moreover, he is humble enough: "My role in Allen's company is to supervise the company not to have a third committee to prevent the company from becoming too large."

"Getting too big?" Tang En humbly asked for advice, "Shouldn't it be?"

Herb Allen said: "New Universal is about products, we are about customer relationships. If you're not a small company, you can't really focus on customer relationships. I don't think there's a company on Wall Street that has ever improved its operations with scale. Performance, Morgan Stanley is a great little company, Solomon is a great little company."

Tang En said with a smile: "It's better for Wall Street companies to be bigger and stronger. If a big company makes a mistake, the regulator will at most punish them, and they can continue to operate after a period of time. If it is a small company, I'm afraid It's going to go bankrupt immediately."

Herb Allen also showed a good sense of humor, "Maybe that's why those companies on Wall Street are getting bigger and bigger."

This trip to Sun Valley, for Dunn, the whole process seems to be a portrayal of his dialogue with Herb Allen.

He did not make some practical moves, and he also relied on Google to get News Corp.

However, it has a very important meaning.

In the past, Tang En's main business circles were the media circle, the entertainment circle, and at most a fashion circle.

This time at the Sun Valley meeting, Dunn got to know a lot of people.

Among the top 100 richest people in the United States, he knows at least 80!

There are oil tycoons, real estate tycoons, steel tycoons, super farmers, and many elites in the automobile industry, aerospace industry, military industry, beverage industry, navigation industry and many other industries.

Every successful person has the necessary elements for their success.

Everyone has advantages that Dunn can learn from.

He's still young and he still has a long way to go.

He still needs a lot of growth.

Of course, this is under the premise that it does not affect the status quo of his basic life in Hollywood.

...

Dunn is rich!

To be more precise, his cash flow is full again!

After returning from Sun Valley, he is working hard to complete a major event that the New Universal Group is currently paying close attention to - dividends!

A full $5 billion in dividends!

Now, New Universal has a total of $12 billion on its books.

Compared with the liquidity of 2.5 billion US dollars in early 2004, it can be said that there has been a substantial increase.

Of course, the debt has also increased further.

This time last year, New Universal's debt was $9 billion.

The debt now... is $16 billion!

For a large company like New Global, it is only when the debt increases that all parties are happy.

Of course, if there is too much debt, or even insolvency, it will be uncomfortable for all parties.

The current market valuation of New Universal Group is at least 120 billion US dollars, and the asset valuation can reach 80 billion US dollars. Debt ratios are low and business conditions are healthy.

Dividends under such conditions will not be subject to any external questioning and internal pressure, and can be arranged at will.

Now, the total share capital of New Global has reached 1 billion shares, and Dunn personally holds 8.3 billion shares.

For the $5 billion dividend this time, Dunn alone can get $41.5 billion.

Of this, $21.5 billion was retained in Dunn Capital, with a tax deduction of $200 million.

The US$2 billion is retained in the overseas branch of Dunn Capital, which is tax-free and will be mainly used for investment in overseas markets in the future. If Liverpool successfully win the Champions League this year, Dunn will inevitably spend on building a new modern football stadium.

Next, is the biggest annual event in Hollywood - the Oscars.

Dunn was invited by the Oscar Organizing Committee again, and wanted him to appear on the stage as a guest of honor. As for what award to award, he can choose at will, and the organizing committee can make another arrangement according to his choice Tang En chose to refuse.

In his current status, there is really no need to expose too much to the spotlight.

In the past few years, he also needed to rely on other means to become famous through platforms like Oscar.

No need now.

The name "Dawn Walker" itself stands for fame and for the brand.

However, Tang En would refuse Oscar, and some people would be stubborn, even if they flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, they would still come to participate.

This is Oscar!

Even if it is not an award, but an award, being able to participate once is a great honor.

"Brother Tang, shall I invite you to dinner tonight?" Miss Zhang on the phone was very excited.

"No time."

Dunn unceremoniously refused.

"Brother Tang~~~"

Miss Zhang was coquettishly coquettish.

Tang En frowned and reprimanded: "If you have something to say, say it!"

Miss Zhang pouted and said aggrievedly: "It's "Mulan", I feel... I feel that there is a problem with the casting, I want to tell you about the situation over there..."

The Sino-US joint film "Mulan" passed the Chinese censorship in December last year, and it was officially approved.

The production cost is 100 million US dollars, and the external claim is 1.5 billion US dollars.

Among them, a total of 7 Chinese film companies participated in the investment, with a total amount of 50 million US dollars. The Hong Kong side has two film companies participating in the investment, with a total amount of US$30 million. The US has two film companies participating in the investment, namely the main producer Rose Films, and the Legendary Films, which is invested by platter, each contributing US$10 million.

After allocating the benefits, the next step is the casting of the actors.
