Chapter 1047： High starting point for internationalization

In the reception room on the top floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, Ronan met guests from the East under the introduction of Scott Swift.

This rich man from the East, Lin Jian, has a typical Chinese character face, bright eyes, a straight back, and a solid and capable temperament.

After a few polite remarks from both sides, they quickly entered the topic.

Ronan changed to fluent Chinese and said: "Mr. Lin, I heard Scott mention that you came to Los Angeles from the East to seek business opportunities?"

Lin Jian’s assistant was a little surprised that Ronan was so fluent in Chinese and knew that his translation was basically useless.

Compared with the assistant, Lin Jian appeared calm and said with a smile: "When I was in China, I heard some friends who had been in contact with Mr. Anderson very early on saying that Mr. Anderson's Chinese is very good. When I saw him today, he was really well-deserved."

Ronan smiled and said, "I am only very interested in Eastern culture. I have studied for a period of time. Maybe I have some talent in this area."

Lin Jian really wants to enter the entertainment industry, and he has a greater interest in Hollywood, and the person sitting next to him is more than ten times his worth. Although his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, he still wants to narrow the distance between the two without a trace.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Anderson's Mandarin is very standard." As a successful businessman in the East, Lin Jian must be full of skills such as relationship building: "It is even more standard than I said."

Ronan smiled again and said, "Mr. Lin was too rewarding. Probably the teacher who taught me is from your capital, so there is no interference from the local accent."

Lin Jianzhuan returned to the topic: "I came to Los Angeles this time, and through contact with the Pacific Investment Fund, I greatly broadened my horizons."

Scott Swift took the conversation: "Mr. Lin, in cooperation with the Pacific Investment Foundation, you will see the true side of the Hollywood industry."

"I am personally very grateful for this investment opportunity."

Although compared to investing in the domestic real estate industry, this so-called investment opportunity has a very low return, but Lin Jian knows very well that if he wants to enter the international market and become an international group company, he must pay for the cultural and entertainment industry he wants Certain price: "I suggest that starting from next week, we will start formal negotiations on investment."

Scott Swift said: "No problem. The Pacific Investment Fund has been waiting for Mr. Lin to make a decision."

Ronan also said politely: "Mr. Lin's trust is the honor of the Pacific Investment Foundation."

This is an investment of up to 200 million U.S. dollars, which is a typical throwing stone.

There will be no loss in itself, the investment has stable income, and it can show a certain degree of sincerity.

When Lin Jian was in China, he specialized in Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson, and even personally contacted many companies that cooperated with Relativity Entertainment. On the basis of commercial operation, Relativity Entertainment is definitely one of the few in Hollywood. Treat large groups of Eastern companies equally.

"I believe it!" Lin Jian said with a smile: "This is a mutually beneficial cooperation."

Seeing the other party showing a certain degree of sincerity, Ronan also said in due course: "I heard that Mr. Lin wants to invest in Hollywood?"

Lin Jian put a smile away, and said very seriously: "Yes, Qianlu Group is gradually investing in commercial complexes in China. Cinemas are an indispensable part of commercial complexes, which can turn the flow of people into theater passenger flow."

This is the business model of mainstream commercial chain theaters all over the world. The theaters of large chain theater companies are basically built around shopping malls.

Ronan knows this very well, and has watched IMAX movies in Qianlu Cinema more than once.

Lin Jian said: "Qianlu Group has established a theater company and is building theaters across the country. Our goal is to become the largest theater company in China, with the largest number of screening screens in the country."

These words are both expounding the facts and showing Ronan's capital.

Just this month, "Transformers" was released in the East. Although it hasn't been offline yet, in less than 30 days, it won nearly 500 million soft sister coins at the box office.

This allows Hollywood to further see the huge potential of the Oriental contract market, and it also allows Oriental businessmen including Lin Jian to see the possible value of their own market.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Jian has further plans for the entertainment industry.

"While expanding the theater company, Qianlu Group plans to enter the film production business." Lin Jian's words continue: "In this regard, there is a huge gap between the East and Hollywood. We can't deny that even if it catches up, it will not take a few years. Can catch up."

Ronan is listening very carefully, not because Lin Jian is from the East, but Lin Jian and his Qianlu Group are very likely to be used for relativity entertainment.

Valuable nature should be valued.

Lin Jian said at this time: "The film industry has its particularities. It takes a period of development to build from scratch, but your company’s "Transformers" is selling well in the Eastern market, and I see the huge potential of this industry. I am A businessman, of course he does not want to miss such a good opportunity..."

There are some words that he can stop, and he turns to say: "So, acquiring a more mature film company and operating the film in an international manner is a shortcut for Qianlu Group."

Ronan seemed to agree very much with his point of view, and then said: "It is true, acquisition is undoubtedly the best way. I don't know if Mr. Lin knows about Relativity Entertainment. Relativity Entertainment is today and acquisitions have played a key role."

He was not echoing this, but hiding his own purpose, but at this stage he concealed it deeply: "In terms of production, Relativity Entertainment acquired Artisan Entertainment; in terms of distribution, Relativity Entertainment acquired Embassy Pictures and Polaroid Films. Industry; on the Internet, Relativity Entertainment won Netflix..."

Lin Jian knows that Ronan is all facts. He has carefully studied Relativity Entertainment. The short history of this company is an acquisition history.

Under the introduction of the partner, I met Scott Swift, and carefully studied the Pacific Investment Foundation and the Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson behind it. He strengthened his determination to invest in the film industry. After Lin Jian came to Los Angeles for on-site contact, Also discovered another thing.

Hollywood’s xenophobia is not so strong. For a businessman like him from the East, not to mention that nobody pays attention, and it’s hard for anyone to look at him straight.

To enter a new circle, there must be bridges and channels of communication.

Lin Jian knew this very well, and he quickly found a suitable choice. Relativity entertainment that can treat Orientals and companies equally is definitely the best choice.

Besides, he will not be stupid enough to touch the interests of relativistic entertainment.

"That said, the film company planned by Mr. Lin wants to have a high starting point." Ronan's words are very pleasant, and other people can't hear the deep hidden intentions: "From the beginning, take the international route. , The starting point is indeed very high."

Lin Jian was not surprised when he heard the other party's intentions, and further said: "My ideal Qianlu Film Company is a company that can have a certain degree of international influence."

Ronan nodded slightly: "So, Mr. Lin traveled a long distance and came to Los Angeles from the other side of the Pacific Ocean?"

Lin Jian said: "Hollywood is the largest film industry base in the world, and I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Scott Swift, and even more fortunate to get to know Mr. Anderson..."

Ronan laughed and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Lin wants to entertain from the theory of relativity, but what does he get from Hollywood?"

Due to cultural traditions, Lin Jian was somewhat surprised that Ronan asked so directly, but his mentality adjusted quickly, and he knew that these foreigners value practical interests more.

In fact, the business districts of the two countries are the same in this respect, so Lin Jian just pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Anderson, I have been in Los Angeles for a while, and your Pacific Investment Foundation is the only Equality and respect for Qianlu’s potential partners. I have also heard many people in China talk about cooperation with Relativity Entertainment. I think Relativity Entertainment is a company that can treat the East equally."

Ronan said: "Business cooperation is not only about mutual benefit, but also equality and mutual assistance."

Lin Jian said: "Before Qianlu and I rarely deal directly with Hollywood. If you want to make a difference, you need to find partners. I hope that Relativity Entertainment can provide an opportunity. Of course, Qianlu Group attaches great importance to it and will give enough remuneration."

He emphasized his tone: "I want to buy a film company in Hollywood!"

This answer is entirely within Ronan’s expectation: "Acquiring Hollywood studios? Relativity Entertainment does have the ability to matchmaking ~ www.novelhall.com~ can also provide sufficient guarantees for both parties of the transaction."

Relativity Entertainment now has such an ability, without even having to spend too much effort, Ronan thought for a while and asked, "I don't know which company Mr. Lin has fancyed?"

Lin Jian hesitated a little, but thought of the difficulty of outsiders opening the door to Hollywood, he selectively said: "There are several goals, the first choice is Lionsgate."

"Liongate Pictures." Ronan nodded slightly: "This is an old friend of Relativity Entertainment."

Lin Jian took the opportunity to say: "If Relativity Entertainment can connect Qianlu and Lionsgate, Qianlu will definitely thank him again."

Ronan waved his hand: "Mr. Lin, it is too early to talk about this." He reminded: "Lionsgate has not developed smoothly since its establishment. Among the medium-sized Hollywood studios, it can only be regarded as not very attractive. One of the companies is relatively limited in its own strength and acquires such a company..."

Lin Jian asked: "Is it inappropriate?"

"I have learned about Mr. Lin's company, and I just heard about Mr. Lin's goals." Luo Nan said concisely, and went straight to the point: "I don't know if Mr. Lin has heard of it. The upper end of the real Hollywood industry chain is distribution. The capacity is not bad, but the North American issuance capacity is very general, and does not have the international issuance capacity, such a company can not talk about the impact of internationalization."

Since Lin Jian set Lionsgate as one of his potential targets, he knew enough about it and knew that Ronan was telling the truth.

Ronan said softly, "Mr. Lin, since you are willing to invest in the Pacific Foundation, I would like to remind you that if you want a high starting point for internationalization, Mr. Lin must carefully consider the acquisition target."
