The impact of capital on the entertainment industry.

Since capital entered this circle, the entertainment industry has become more and more prosperous. But at the same time, the entertainment industry has also lost its independence.

Today, after the 21st century.

There is no more pure land in the entire entertainment industry. It has long been harvested by various capitals and divided their respective fields.

The former media giants joined forces to acquire the Six Hollywood Worlds. At that time, it was a kind of harvest. In the 1960s, Hollywood and European and American entertainment circles had already been enclosed.

A rising star.

There will be a lot of capital entry on the other side of China. It was not until around 2010 that capital discovered that the hot land of the entertainment industry was pouring in crazily.

The difference between the two is.

Because the capital markets in the European and American worlds are relatively mature and have basically been lingering in this circle early on, the various adverse effects should be less.

Not like China.

After capital enters the entertainment industry.

All kinds of incredible chaos have emerged.

For example, the high pay for all kinds of young and handsome actors, the rampant number of cutouts and traffic actresses, and the various truly talented artists are not taken seriously.

Capital will guide bad trends, but capital is also guided by popular tastes, and popular tastes are guided by movies. A good hit is capital.

Although things that are serious about doing can eventually be recognized, whether you are willing to do it seriously is the problem for the practitioners themselves. Therefore, if the industry collapses due to bad weather, you cannot rely on capital.

Oasis Investment Takes Paramount

For Hollywood and the entertainment industry, this is a new vitality entering. But for other media giants, this is a new capital giant entering.

Just like At&T acquired Time Warner, many economic experts predict that such capital giants' acquisition of media giants will become more and more intense in the future.

But these have nothing to do with Abel for the time being.

After he ended the signing of Paramount's agreement to change hands and announced three major plans of $2 billion, he left the press conference.

Because David Adams, Winnie's cousin, came to the door with people from California United Petroleum.

California United Petroleum, also known as Unico Petroleum, was once known as the ninth largest oil company in the United States. In the past, Unico had oil and gas extraction assets and projects in Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh and other places in Asia.

Based on operating income, Unicor is the seventh largest oil company in the United States. The huge economies of scale have brought business opportunities, and the support of the oil industry has enabled California to develop rapidly in the southern United States.

Until the mid-1990s, Unicor was California's leading oil and gasoline producer. The company then put its gasoline business aside and focused on oil exploration and production in other regions, especially overseas regions, with oil and gas extraction assets and projects in North America's Gulf of Mexico, Texas, and Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar and Bangladesh in Asia.

This strategic decision led to the tragic ending of California United Oil Company in the future.

Due to the large-scale investment abroad, too much land and offshore oil resources were acquired and huge amounts of funds were invested.

As a result, the efforts in exploration were not rewarded. Unicorn made losses for years and eventually filed for bankruptcy from the United States government and was listed for sale in January 2005.

This incident has a great impact on the commercial side! Because of this sale, Huaxia Offshore Oil Co., Ltd. (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) issued a purchase offer of more than US$13 billion to UNICO. This transaction will mark the largest and most important overseas acquisition of China's enterprise.

This is the 13 billion US dollars in 2005. At that time, the purchasing power of 13 billion US dollars is not comparable to that of 13 billion US dollars now.

I have not experienced 13 years of inflation, and the Federal Reserve's printing of US dollars, nor have I experienced the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009.

The 13 billion US dollars at that time had at least equivalent to more than 30 billion US dollars in 2018.

Huaxia Offshore Oil is willing to spend so much money to acquire California United Petroleum, which is already very sincere.

Among the many companies that had the intention to acquire, Huaxia Offshore Oil was definitely the company that paid the most.

but……

It's useless.

The result is of course not successful.

A Chinese company wants to buy an American company unless the American company is a small and broken company that has no fame or is not rich.

Otherwise it would be impossible to succeed.

If capitalists want to sell, the federal government will not allow it. If there is money, you can really buy everything. Without the current China, the country from thirty or forty years ago, it has the financial resources to buy half of the United States.

Have they succeeded?

No.

They were dug up a big hole by the Americans, and the things they bought except real estate. Except for the things they bought belonged to them in name, everything from dividends to senior management still belonged to the United States.

no way.

A lackeyed country is not worthy of sovereignty.

And China cannot allow things like the book I used to happen. So it is very straightforward that important enterprises and industries will not be sold to China if they are killed by the United States.

This is actually even more so in the high-tech industry.

For example, China's weaknesses, various computer processors and other technologies.

An AMD company is only more than 10 billion US dollars, and the market value is only a few billion US dollars when it is the cheapest. If you can buy it in China, you can afford it for a dozen more.

Not to mention AMD, although Intel's market value is as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, if they are willing to sell, it is estimated that it will cost 500 billion US dollars, and China is willing to buy it.

But can I buy it?

Impossible...

There are many examples of this. The federal government of the United States of America would rather these companies lose money to bankruptcy, then liquidate and be merged by these other companies.

It is impossible to sell it to China.

final……

Unico Oil has merged with Chevron in the United States.

But even more than ten years have passed.

Unico Petroleum, also known as California United Petroleum, still insists that it is California United Petroleum, not Chevron Petroleum.

There is a faint confrontation between the two sides.

Chevron has always maintained a blood-sucking attitude towards California United Petroleum. Various oil fields with abundant oil content have been taken from California United Petroleum to Chevron Petroleum in various names...

California United Petroleum is also the second franchise state except Texas that has always been calling for independence, which has led to California United Petroleum, which has an independent culture, that has been unwilling to fully integrate into Chevron.

Abel's brother-in-law.

David Adams is such a senior manager of California United Petroleum. However, in name, the title written on his business card is actually the senior manager of Chevron Energy Exploration.

As for David Adams, why came to him.

Of course, it is not just under the wasteland adjacent to California and Nevada. The oil field with an oil content of about 2.2 billion barrels was detected.

The content of this oil field is 2.2 billion barrels. It was detected as a light oil of excellent quality and has great mining value!

And there is also rich natural gas, which is another wealth.

This oil field has also become a witness to Abel's magical investment vision.

Before Abel even had time to leave the Central Hilton Hotel, he saw his brother-in-law leading a group of people to find him.

And straight to the point.

Before Abel could speak, David Adams spoke very simply:

"Dear Abel! Do you want to be the new oil tycoon? Do you want to be the Rockefeller?"

Hearing words.

Abel raised his eyebrows.

Still feeling.

"Why do you say that? David. How could the current federal government allow a new Rockefeller to appear? Besides, Rockefeller is not just oil now, they have long been free from oil restrictions!"

He was concerned about Abel's concern.

David Adams smiled disconcertedly, then gave way to several people behind him, introducing one by one: "This is the vice president of Chevron Oil Company headquarters and also the president of California! Anthony Smith!"

After introducing the elderly white man with a Mediterranean hairstyle with a smile beside him.

Then introduce a middle-aged man next to him.

"This is Chevron Oil, Director of Overseas Exploration, and Chevron California Vice President William Jones!"

Then he introduced the remaining few.

"This is Chevron Senior Exploration Manager, Andy Taylor!"

"This is Jack Thompson, deputy general manager of the Chevron Petroleum Gas Station Chain!"

“…”

The introduction is completed one by one.

They are all from Chevron Oil Company.

Chevron Co., Ltd., originally named California Standard Oil. Since the name once had two words "Standard", it proves that the company came from Standard Oil of that year.

And Standard Oil...
