Chapter 255: I Want Paramount 6/6) (Repair)(1/2)
"What do I want?"
Faced with Thunderstone's straightforward inquiry, Abel smiled silently.
"I want to ask, Mr. Summer. What can you give me?!"
Lei Shidong was a little stunned by his ball.
This guy!
He said calmly: "Mr. Sefrosa. You must first talk about your thoughts before I can make a judgment."
"Okay. I hate red tape the most!"
It’s good to play the ball occasionally, but if you keep worrying about this, you will fall into a lower position.
Abel also said straight to the point: "I want Paramount!"
"Although I don't want to make movies or be a star, I like Hollywood stars very much, especially those beautiful female stars!"
As he said something that was not on the table, Abel took it for granted:
"So I have to have my own film company so that I can invite those beautiful female celebrities I like to make movies! But if I build a company by myself and develop the company by myself, it would be too slow! Since that's the case..."
He looked at Lei Shidong and said word by word: "I want! Pi! La! Mon!"
After hearing Abel's request.
Lei Shidong's face suddenly turned black.
Paramount!
One of the six major Hollywood stars has a long history. The symbol of stars surrounding the snow-capped mountains is famous throughout the world.
In the first thirty years of its establishment, the company has been sitting on the throne of Hollywood overlords with numerous stars, high-quality films and chain theaters all over the United States.
In the subsequent development process, Paramount produced excellent movies such as "The Godfather", "Titanic", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Forrest Gump" and "Transformers".
From the 1960s to the 1990s, this company always produced well-known and popular videos.
Although it has entered the second decade of the 21st century, this film company, which was established in 1912 and has a century-old history, has gradually become less likely to keep up with Disney, which has had Marvel.
But for Viacom, Paramount is a business card for the media giant in film.
The indispensable one.
How could Redstone agree to Abel's request for Paramount so directly?
If you agree.
Viacom will definitely fall from the third largest media in America.
Can a media group without a movie business card still be called a media group?
Although Paramount is not that valuable now, it is a bit in line with the positioning of the six giants.
But the sign of stars surrounding the snow-capped mountains and the huge movie library.
That would prevent Paramount from falling.
To put it simply.
Redstone and Viacom could not agree to this request made by Abel!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lei Shidong tried his best to calm himself down:
"This is impossible. Mr. Sefrosa Viacom cannot be without Paramount, and Paramount is also indispensable!"
"but……"
After expressing his tough attitude, Lei Shidong changed his tone and his tone became slightly softer:
"If you like female stars, Mr. Sefrosa, Viacom or Paramount can invite some stars you like to make the movies you want."
"Any movie is OK!"
In the last sentence, Lei Shidong, who is old and never grows old, deliberately showed that even a man knows how to smile.
If it was really like this young man said, he just wanted to play with female stars and wanted to enter the media industry.
It's fucking though.
For Viacom and Redstone, it was a bit like a disaster, and it was targeted for no reason for such a fucking reason.
But if that's true.
Lei Shidong thought it was the simplest.
Just a female star in Hollywood.
Who are you playing for?
When he was young, he would not play less than anyone else, and he would play more crazier than anyone else.
It's just that I'm old now.
I can't do it anymore!
If the other party can give up the acquisition of Viacom, Lei Shidong may not be willing to be such a wealth legend, and he will also become one of Viacom's shareholders and one of his partners.
As for female celebrities or something.
Lei Shidong, who is already 95 years old, generously stated that he would take it for fun...
Lei Shidong, who has experienced the Hollywood red sofa era, has long seen through the world in this regard, after all...
He can't play if he wants to play!
"hehe……"
Facing the hint of Lei Shidong.
If it was really just this small request, would he be so thankless to acquire Viacom?
A giant like Viacom.
The degree and complexity of its cross-holding of control and stocks, just thinking about it makes people feel a headache!
He settled for the second best, as long as Paramount control was a relatively low requirement for him.
Abel was unmoved and smiled slightly: "Mr. Summer. I think you are very insincere. What I said just now is that I want Paramount! I heard it clearly, Paramount! If I just want to invite female celebrities to make my movies, I just need to spend money. Do I need to buy Viacom, which is worthless?!"
This was said without any politeness, and it sounded like there was no degree of avoidance at all, and Lei Shidong's face turned dark again.
He frowned with gray eyebrows: "This is really impossible to ask. Mr. Sefrosa Viacom cannot agree to your conditions!"
Bang!
Abel leaned against the seat, snapped his fingers, and Andres quickly came over, pulled out a $100 bill from his pocket, and handed it to the waiter who had just delivered the coffee.
Amid the waiter's joyful thanks, Abel smiled and handed the coffee ordered from the Thunderstone to him:
"This is your coffee, Mr. Summer. I'll treat you to drink."
"Thank you." Lei Shidong thanked quietly.
Abel then continued to laugh and said, "My bodyguard is not short of money. He is willing to tip the cute waitress lady for $100."
"As the boss of Andrees, I am not short of money!"
“So what I want to say is…”
Abel stared at Redstone with no indifference: "I want Paramount!"
"you!"
Abel's unyielding concessions made Lei Shidong really angry.
"Young people sometimes should stop at the right time. I admit that you have an amazing talent in investment! But this talent can't play any role in business dealings!"
Redstone said in a deep voice: "I can make you one of the shareholders of Viacom and Paramount. In the future, Paramount's film production, the choice of heroine will be determined by you! This is the bottom line for Viacom and me!"
The old man with gray hair, gray eyebrows and a face full of old spots did not give in at all.
Unfortunately, he met Abel.
Abel shook his head.
"I don't like eating something on a plate with others. I don't like playing with women with others."
Abel whispered: "I want Paramount! I am alone, this is my only request!"
Lei Shidong was really angry this time.
He did not continue to negotiate with Abel, and stood up very simply and said angrily: "Mr. Sefrosa. It seems that we can't work together. If you want Paramount so much, then get it yourself!"
"I will." Compared to the angry Thunderstone, Abel could laugh: "What I want is never done by others' charity, but by myself!"
"very good!"
Almost squeezed out this sentence from the gap between the teeth, Lei Shidong laughed angrily:
"Haha...goodbye! Mr. Sefrosa!"
"goodbye……"
