Chapter 153： King's Landing Anfield (1)

"How is the box office of Expendables 3?"

Yang Cheng and Georgina stepped off the plane one after another and boarded the Rolls-Ross sent by the hotel. The convoy slowly drove out of the airport. Yang Cheng had just received a transoceanic call from Ryze and reported to Lionsgate. The progress of the film industry.

looked at the dim twilight outside the window, took Georgina's jade hand, gave her an apologetic look, and asked on the phone.

"Boss, because of our early intervention, as of today's Expendables 3 was released for two weeks, the total box office in North America was 27 million U.S. dollars, and the lineup of theaters has repeatedly decreased. It is estimated that the final box office after the painting is about 30 million U.S. dollars. The overall situation has been determined. "Ryze's voice is like a spring breeze. The box office basically sentenced Marklaces to death, and it also means that the matter of Lionsgate has settled. He can also free up his hands and concentrate on acquiring the project of Time Magazine.

Yang Cheng also smiled, but when she said it was not so relaxed, she pressed her throat and exclaimed, "I remember that today is the premiere in Country Z? Marcraces has high hopes for this vast soil, you Don't take it lightly, let him finally come back."

"Don’t worry, boss, I’ve arranged everything. The Internet of Z has a large-scale high-definition pirated film source a few days ago. Although the box office statistics for the first day have not yet come out, I estimate that the maximum is less than 10,000 US dollars, which is less than RMB. 50 million, Mark is a dead place this time."

Ritz judged that Yang Cheng was trustworthy, took Georgina's jade hand and kissed her lips, making her cover her mouth and laugh, but did not dare to make a sound, for fear of interrupting Yang Cheng's phone call.

"That's good, so that the final step of the plan can be implemented, are the funds ready?"

"Boss are all ready, Lionsgate’s stock price has continued to fall these days, I have arranged for the staff to keep an eye on it, and I am ready to buy the bottom. It is expected that in half a month we can hold a press conference to announce the new ownership of Lionsgate."

Although Siwei Space has basically completed the holding of Lionsgate thanks to the holdings in Kotweiler's hands, what Yang Cheng wants is to delist Lionsgate and complete the privatization package into New Era Media, so this last The bargaining plan must not be missed.

"Okay, waiting for your good news, is there anything else? It's okay, I'll hang up."

"Wait, boss, one more thing, regarding the investment of Mission Impossible 5, Paramount called and they agreed with Focus Pictures to participate in the investment and accept your splitting plan."

Yang Cheng was stunned and almost forgot about it. After returning from Los Angeles, he has been busy with headlines. The investment of Mission Impossible has never been remembered, and he muttered, "This is a good thing. Arrange the focal point to sign an agreement. In addition, you send someone to collect information about the Z State Cinemas, list a list of feasible acquisition targets and send it to my mailbox."

"Uh~ good boss, are you going to enter the z country cinema market?" Ryze tentatively asked not to be sure of his boss's mind.

Yang Cheng said casually, "If there is a chance, why not? The Mission Impossible Z country release is the best opportunity. Let's do this first."

Hanging up the phone, Georgina asked curiously, "Is it Lionsgate?"

Yang Cheng lowered his head and smiled, and put his arm around Georgina's shoulder, "Yes, this matter is overwhelming. After the official announcement, our new era media will appear on stage."

"I'm afraid you will be famous before the official announcement?" Georgina pursed her lips, and she couldn't see Yang Cheng's triumphant face, although she made her very happy.

Yang Cheng raised her eyebrows puzzled, "What?"

"Why are we here for?" Georgina said with a look at Yang Cheng's style.

Yang Cheng suddenly, "Oh, you Liverpool?"

asked, and then shook his head, "It's not necessarily true. I'm not optimistic about this. I checked John Henry on the plane. He was a living brave. Do you know Pai Yao?"

Georgina frowned slightly, and thought for a while, "I've heard this name. It seems to be a kind of beast in your Chinese world, similar to the vampire in the Western Biography? The phoenix?"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to explain, so he had to say vaguely, "Almost, anyway, it is to describe a person who eats but does not vomit, can only get in and can't get out. It is a metaphor for him to be stingy, angry, and stingy. This is John Henry Kind of people, do you think we can reach a compromise price in a short time?"

"You are like this, it seems that it is true, but my father has revealed his reserve price to us. This is at least our advantage. Even if the acquisition fails, we will not suffer." Georgina leaned in Yang Cheng's arms and comforted.

"Well, no matter what, I will meet again tomorrow."

. . .

Early in the morning of September 3, Yang Cheng woke up and wanted to go for a run. She opened the curtains and looked at the rainy Albert Port. She couldn't help but spit out, "I know, the poor sun never sets the empire. You all have rheumatism."

"Honey, what are you?" Feeling a soft touch coming from her back, Yang Cheng turned to embrace Georgina's wet and slippery body wrapped in bath towels, rubbing her big hands on her flushed face, "Nothing. , Complaining about the weather today."

Georgina turned her head, looked at the crystal water drops on the glass window and smiled, "It's normal, just like we have to eat every day."

Yang Cheng rubbed his wet hair. The two had just taken a mandarin duck bath. They were about to change clothes for breakfast.

"Oh my god, I'm very British, except for fish and chips, it's a **** rainy day, as old as their people." Georgina laughed at Yang Cheng while putting on her clothes and wailing. She likes this early morning.

At 9 a.m., Yang Cheng and Georgina's Rolls-Royce arrived at Anfield on time. As soon as they stepped out of the car door, a sense of the Red Army's solemnity rushed toward them. On such a rainy day, the quiet Anfield looked extremely solemn. People can't help but read the famous slogan, "thisisanfield" in their heart.

This is one of the most famous stadiums in the world, located in Anfield, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is a four-star stadium under the umbrella of UEFA. After nearly two years of expansion, it can accommodate more than 54,000 fans. Entering the stadium to watch the game is far from satisfying the enthusiasm of the Red Army fans. The club is planning a second expansion to expand the capacity to 60,000.

It is precisely because of this expansion that John Henry’s old bottom has been hollowed out. The club is currently in debt of nearly one billion pounds. If the expansion continues, he will sooner or later go bankrupt. As a top-level Pai Yao, how could this happen and sell it now The team cashed out, the price of investment and acquisition has more than doubled that of the year. Why should he not do business that is clearly profitable?

It’s just that John Henry deserves the reputation of Pixiu. Before he found Michael Bloomberg, he marked a sky-high price of 1 billion pounds for Liverpool, and directly scared off the Middle Eastern tyrants and the Z-nation consortium who were interested in buying. For a time, no one in Liverpool cared. It wasn't the appearance of Yang Cheng, maybe John Henry could only smash his teeth and swallow in his stomach.

But Yang Cheng never heard of Liverpool's bankruptcy in his previous life. It can be seen that this old Pai Yao is still a bit capable. It is estimated that he can't be forced to pay off his debts by selling his stars.

After getting out of the car, Yang Cheng and Georgina’s bodyguards stood obliquely behind them and held umbrellas for them to protect them from the rain. Yang Cheng deliberately put on a thin black trench coat today, which looked like a British aristocratic gentleman.

Georgina even chose an aqua-blue gauze dress by the local British brand jennypackham. The'scheming' design on the back makes Georgina a British rose, her beautiful back is looming, and the shiny belt around her waist is even more impressive. It highlights her graceful figure, and the unique tulle material of this dress makes people feel noble and elegant at the same time it brings a hint of'fairy'.

The only drawback is that the cold, damp and cold air invades the bone marrow. Fortunately, Yang Cheng has the foresight. Before getting off the car, she put her coat on Georgina. Although there is no use for eggs, she at least ensures that her body temperature is not affected by cold air and rain. take away.

"Good morning, Georgina, you are so beautiful today, like a blue enchantress blooming in England, welcome to Anfield." As the host, John Henry waited at the door early. After the convoy arrived, he was there. The assistant greeted her under the umbrella, took Georgina's bare hand, and offered a kiss.

Yang Cheng's complexion is not so good, and her face is stinky, "The old satyr is capable enough. I grabbed the word and grabbed my young master's head. Let's see how I lower the price in a while."

Without him, the two returned to the room to change clothes after eating in the morning. When Georgina walked out of the cloakroom in this suit, Yang Cheng also praised her with the same words.

Slowly there was a refreshing Georgina, who was kissed by the old satyr on the back of her hand, turned her head and squeezed the corner of her mouth, and blinked at Yang Cheng faintly, meaning, "Look, your men are so uninspiring from old to boasting."

"Hello, can I call you jason? Your arrival has made Anfield shine." After the salute with Georgina, John Henry's thin and old face turned to Yang Cheng hiding in the black The wise eyes under the rim glasses looked at Yang Cheng with a strange look.

"Thank you, John, it is my honor to have the opportunity to visit Anfield." Yang Cheng maintained a perfect etiquette and shook hands with John. Under the introduction of John Henry, Yang Cheng and the chairman of the Liverpool club Tom Warner returned When CEO Ian El greeted each other, the group didn't greet too much outside, after all, it was still raining.

Under the leadership of Ian Al, I briefly visited Liverpool’s championship wall of honor and the dressing room, and finally boarded the famous Kop stands. I felt the Red Army’s diehard fighting positions every weekend. In the center of the field, the club staff was Maintain the neat green pastures.

Yang Cheng was in a good mood. At the suggestion of John Henry, he stepped on the lawn in the middle of the field. His intention was good, but as soon as the careful Yang Cheng stepped on it for two steps, he squatted down and supported his knee with one hand. , Pointing to the potholes that can't be seen without looking carefully, he issued a series of questions to CEO Ian Al,

"Mr. Al, this is the turf at Anfield? This is the turf at the European four-star stadium? Liverpool fighters fight in such an environment every week? Although I don't know football, I also understand that a good field is Whether the team can play the guarantee of a hearty attack, to be honest, I probably understand why Liverpool's performance in recent years has not been satisfactory."

Before the negotiations started, Yang Cheng used the turf to attack from his hair. His repeated questions not only made the two Liverpool executives embarrassed or even ashamed, but also made John Henry, a cunning old fox, face his young People, it seems that trying to fudge Liverpool out of a high price is a failure.
