After Eric said the exchange conditions, Marcel Novares was immediately reluctant. Even if only calculating the 75% of Metro Goldwyn Mayer shares in Crédit Lyonnais S.A., the price of 1.2 billion USD is somewhat underestimated. The overall valuation of Metro Goldwyn Mayer given by Eric is only 1.2 billion USD, and everyone There is no Production Studio in the mouth at all, but Eric directly gives the high price of 800 million USD.

"Eric, this condition is too harsh, even if the overall market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer is barely counted as 1.2 billion USD, but Production Studio is definitely not worth 800 million."

Eric did n’t mean to refute Marcel Novares at all. Some smiled at the Frenchman, and nodded: "Of course, if you do n’t agree, you can talk."

Marcel Novares froze for a moment, noticing the eyes of other people in the reception room and unable to resist a wry smile. He realized that at this point, since Eric had already spoken, Metro Goldwyn Mayer simply had no room for bargaining.

From the current situation, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is completely in a passive position. With the Production Studio plan proposed by Eric, Hollywood and several other Film Studios are certainly very happy to undertake the issuance. The reason why Metro Goldwyn Mayer can get this opportunity is mainly Because of Eric's personal will, if he doesn't want to pay attention to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, he only needs to assist in the production of Metro Goldwyn Mayer007 series to get rid of the dark disk protocol brought by GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), so he doesn't need to do so much at all.

Thinking of this, Marcel Novares nodded helplessly: "Well, Eric, I will submit this plan to Board of Directors for discussion as soon as possible."

When it comes to the matter, it is basically finalized. As the owner, Nicolas Seydoux is asking everyone to go to the restaurant for dinner, and suddenly thought of a question: "Eric. What is your name for Production Studio?"

Eric didn't want to think about it, some slack out and blurted out: "Just call DreamWorks."

"DreamWorks, good name."

"Yeah, making DreamWorks, a very good moral."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Eric smiled a bit wickedly. However, the new Production Studio is indeed very similar to the original DreamWorks form of space-time. The name is very apt, but if Spielberg wants to do it again. You must choose another name for Film Studio.

After having dinner at the Seydoux Family mansion, Eric returned to the hotel by car. It was already 10:30 in the evening, and Los Angeles was still working. Eric called Los Angeles Firefly Headquarters. I communicated with the management of Firefly Pictures today and asked Michael Lynn to send a senior Firefly to participate in the negotiation of the new Production Studio.

A few days later, a Vice Chairman of Firefly Pictures arrived at Paris, responsible for the negotiation of Firefly Pictures ’s interests in DreamWorks Film Studio, and the final stop of Europe ’s promotion in Madrid, Spain, also completed its premiere. At the same time, Paris's "Jurassic Park" Box Office data was also released soon. "Jurassic Park" harvested 2more than 7 million francs in the first week of France, while the total Box Office of the first week of 《Germinal》 with "Jurassic Park" only had more than 6 million francs. Although converted into USD, the production cost of 《Germinal》 is only half of "Jurassic Park", but the production cost of more than 60 million francs of 100 million is still the most expensive film in the history of French cinema. After the data was released, the French media was of course again in an uproar, asking French Government to pay attention to local movies.

But Eric is very clear that many things have been settled in secret, and this is the final stage of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) negotiations, facing the persistence of Europe in some countries. The United States federation once again issued an ultimatum hard, before December 15, 1993. If the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) negotiations are still not reached, then the entire agreement will be null and void. Europe countries are very clear. If the agreement is truly null and void, then international trade will fall into chaos for a long time, which is absolutely unbearable for Europe, which is in a period of economic recovery.

When I got this news, Eric had already brought the creators of "Jurassic Park" to Japan Tokyo to prepare for the premiere of the movie on July 29th at Japan Tokyo.

At the same time, the negotiations between Chris and Nokia Group have also achieved certain results. The main shareholders of Nokia Group have agreed to divest several other companies not involved in mobile communication business owned by Nokia from the group, only for Nokia The mobile communications department continues to negotiate with Firefly. After this agreement is reached, the size of the assets involved in the entire negotiation will be reduced from 1.1 billion USD to about 700 million USD.

At the same time, Eric also learned from Chris, because the introduction of GSM network has been gradually recognized by Europe countries, more communication companies have begun to turn their attention to the research and development of GSM mobile phones. Once other mobile communication companies promptly launch GSM mobile phones, the time and technical advantages accumulated by Nokia Group in the early stage will no longer exist. In this case, Nokia urgently needs a large amount of capital injection for new mobile phones to R & D and company products. Marketing promotion, therefore, Firefly's advantages in negotiation will become more and more obvious.

Since the scale of the assets involved has been reduced to 700 million USD, Eric explained that Chris no longer needs to worry about capital, the most important thing is to get more shares of Nokia. After more understanding of the prospects of mobile phones, Chris Also agreed with Eric.

Eric and the publicity team settled in the Chiyoda District of Tokyo City Center, because the Japan economy continued to erupt in the 1980s. This is the period when the national self-esteem of Japan is at its highest. After Eric came to Tokyo, it can be clearly seen from the contact Japanese felt the kind of emotion that always wanted to do something.

The Tokyo in July was the most sultry period of the year, plus there was no good feelings for this country, Eric did not stay in Japan for too long. After participating in the premiere, he hurriedly left Japan, but the team Many people choose to stay and plan to travel in Tokyo. Apart from a few countries across the sea, Japan maintains a very good international image in the West, so most Westerners are very curious about Japan, plus Tokyo is the last stop of "Jurassic Park" promotion. Now that the work has been completed, Eric does not force anything.

"Alan, did you know that I had a dream when I was a kid, that is, like a migratory bird. I can continue to migrate all year round, looking for a place where the temperature always stays at 23 degrees." Take a few at Los Angeles International Airport The entourage got off the plane and Eric took a deep breath and said to Alan who was walking by.

Alan knew that Eric moved to Los Angeles with his father from London when he was eight years old and asked with a smile: "Your dream before eight years old?"

Eric was stunned and nodded. "Yeah. That, you know, the weather of London has been very bad. I hate the wet and cold environment. I hate it very much."

Alan smiled. Asked: "What about later?"

"Later," Eric seemed to hug the bright sunshine around him: "I just found out that Los Angeles is such a place. Once you get here, you don't need to migrate at all."

"It seems that you do not like flying around the world," Alan concluded with a smile.

"Of course," Eric laughed.

The Eric's itinerary did not inform too many people and walked out of the airport. The pick-ups were also several official vehicles from Firefly Pictures. Eric also found Jeffrey standing beside a commercial vehicle with a smile.

"Jeffrey, why did you come here in person?" Eric greeted some unexpectedly. Embraced with Jeffrey.

"It was just fine in the afternoon. I heard that you came back today and came over in person," Jeffrey explained.

Eric allowed several bodyguards who followed him around the earth to move freely, and then sent away Alan before getting on a car with Jeffrey.

"Is there something happening?" After car was launched. Eric asked Jeffrey beside him.

Jeffrey smiled and shook his head: "Are we so rusty between us?"

Eric froze, then shook his head. Tao: "Of course not, I'm just a little surprised."

"I'm really fine today. So I came here in person," Jeffrey explained again: "However, there is a little thing. I went to New York last week and saw two little guys."

"Oh?" Eric looked puzzled.

"Kevin and Xiaxia are very cute," Jeffrey said, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. He asked: "Eric, Emily have been in frequent contact with Joan and Vicky. You are also more than my father and Chris. With more contacts, I just want you to ask me, when will the two of them get married? "

It seems that caring about children ’s marriage is a common problem among parents all over the world. Eric smiled secretly and said: "They did n’t say that they plan to marry again at 30?"

"30 years old ..." Jeffrey pouted: "Then you say, how old is Chris now?"

Eric was stunned. He remembered that when he first saw Chris, he was twenty-six years old, and now three years have passed ...

"Twenty-nine years old?"

Jeffrey nodded distressedly: "And, I know from my father Emily that Emily is one year older than Chris."

Eric could n’t help but show a distressed look, and said: “Jeffrey, I ca n’t help you with this matter. I still need your father ’s personal nagging. You know, usually children. I ’m most afraid of my parents ’nagging. How many times do you say that maybe they ca n’t help getting married?”

"Does this method work?" Jeffrey asked inquiringly.

Eric thinks that Chris and Emily are both kind of determined people. This method is estimated to have little effect, but he ca n’t think of any suitable method: "I can only think of this."

"Then I try ..." Jeffrey sighed, and did not continue to talk about this matter before asking: "I already knew about the matter of cooperating with Europe Film Studio. However, you don't think we only need one hundred Is the share of 30 a bit low? At your present value, just serving as Producer is enough to take away a film 30 percent moistened? "

"I don't think this matter is so simple, Jeffrey, think about it, what else does Metro Goldwyn Mayer have now?"

Jeffrey wondered: "007?"

Eric said with a smile: "Yes, Metro Goldwyn Mayer now has 007 left as a handy chip, of course, I am not referring to this, I mean, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is now out of the studio, all of them are Kirk Kerkorian The old guy sold or even changed to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer hotel. Therefore, although the newly established DreamWorks Film Studio will cooperate with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, in terms of production, DreamWorks still depends on the resources of Firefly. "

Jeffrey nodded a little bit clearly. He knew that Eric ’s budget for Production Studio ’s ten films was 800 million USD. In terms of the average production cost of Hollywood ’s current film, ten films want to spend 800 million USD. It's not that easy. The photography bases and special effects companies of Firefly Pictures will definitely undertake most of the production work. In this case, even without using any edging operation, Firefly Pictures can make a lot of money in the production process.

"Speaking of that, Stan Winston has chosen the location of the new studio in the digital field and intends to be located in Florida. There are three years of tax exemption conditions. The new branch plans to build a two in the Florida capital. Ten thousand square meters of studios, "Jeffrey soon talked about Firefly.

Although Eric has been paying attention to all aspects of the business of Firefly Pictures, it is impossible to know everything in detail, plus he has given full autonomy to the digital field, so I heard this news for the first time, but, Eric also has no opinion. The three-year tax exemption measure is also a good condition for the digital field. If it is replaced by Eric, it will also be agreed. Although the development trend of special effects companies is to develop overseas, but now, North America local The profit rate of the special effects industry is still very rich, and the special effects company is still in the aristocratic era. Even after the establishment of Firefly software company, more and more special effects studios are established, and this cannot be changed temporarily.

"This is fine. After the Firefly software is established, there will definitely be more and more Los Angeles special effects companies. Setting up a branch in Florida is also a good choice," Eric nodded and smiled again. "Maybe In a few more years, we will have to set up our branch abroad. "

"It should not be necessary," Jeffrey wondered.

"Who knows," Eric spread his hand, and of course he couldn't explain something like Jeffrey now. (To be continued m.) (To be continued)
