Chapter Six Hundred and Twentieth Six Big Things Are Not Good
After the auction of the eastern theaters, the southern theaters began.
Sure enough, after the price reached 250 billion, the situation became a showdown between foreign powers, and was finally bought by the eight major film companies for 295 billion.
The host has already received Xiao Yuanyang's instructions and said: "The next step is to compete for hidden bids. Our staff needs to prepare bids for the competitors. Now please rest for a while. We will bid again in ten minutes."
Cao Huaqian, Xiao Yuanyang and others left the venue. After a while, Li Guoke, Yu Hai, Xue Tianhua and other bosses in charge of bidding were called out by the staff.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Paramount's boss, Angel Cruise, said with a smile: "It seems that the Chinese people are anxious."
Tony of Columbia Company laughed and said: "One of the four theater chains was won by several major European consortiums, and another was won by us. It's no wonder that they are not in a hurry. Mr. Anger, you are recommended by our eight major companies. Chief, how much are you going to vote for the following dark bids?"
Ange thought for a while and said: "We have prepared a total of 445 billion Chinese coins this time. After buying the southern theater chain, we only have 150 billion left. Obviously, we can't buy this amount of money. We need friends. I think the Tohill family is also very interested in the Huaxia theater chain, and I want to talk to them about cooperation. What do you think?"
Tony chuckled, "I agree."
Kerry nodded and said, "I agree too."
Representatives from other companies also agreed.
So, Anger found a representative of the Tohir family and chatted for a while.
Then, the representative made several frantic phone calls.
After a period of time,
When Ange came back, there was a look of joy on his face, and he said, "It's done. They are also willing to pay 150 billion to share with us, and the goal is the northern theater chain."
"Haha, that's great." The representatives of the eight major Hollywood theater chains all laughed.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the smiles of his old friends Ang, Kerry and the others, frowned, and said, "Wife, there is a big trouble now. It seems that Hollywood and the Tohill family are about to unite."
Zhao Wanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Husband, I am afraid our previous efforts will be in vain. The strength of the other party is really too strong."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I hope those bosses who negotiated in the past can bring good news."
Ten minutes arrived soon, and Minister Cao and others almost came back in a hurry.
From their faces, Xiao Yunhai didn't see anything.
After a while, the staff sent the bids to the representatives who voted for the dark bid.
Although hundreds of people came to the venue, most of them were like Xiao Yunhai to join in the fun. Only a small number of representatives were jointly launched by major companies, adding up to about 20 people.
After everyone filled out the form, the staff took the bid back, and the host said, "Please wait a moment, we will count the results."
"Hold on."
As soon as the host finished speaking, Ange suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, I think for the sake of fairness, it is more appropriate for us to open the bid on the spot."
"That's right." Another representative of a foreign consortium said, "I agree with Mr. Anger's opinion. We have about twenty bids in total, and the ranking only takes a few minutes. It's better to be in the public eye."
The host frowned and said, "Sir, don't you believe us?"
"That's right. This is a business worth hundreds of billions, let alone you. I don't believe it even if it's me."
His words aroused the unanimous approval of all foreign representatives, who all called for the opening of bids on the spot.
The host was a little at a loss, so he could only look at Cao Huagan with a gloomy face below.
Seeing this situation, those representatives quit even more.
"You're not really going to cheat, are you?"
"If you don't dare to open the bid on the spot, it means that there must be a problem inside."
"Please open the bid now, we need to see the results with our own eyes."
"Helpless, what is your Chinese government trying to do? Do you really want us to go to the International Court of Justice to sue you?"
Cao Huaqian and Xiao Yuanyang looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.
Finally, Xiao Yuanyang got up and said, "Okay. In order to show everyone the fairness of this hidden bid, we will open the bid on the spot."
The host nodded and said, "Then ask the statisticians to get ready. I'll tell you the price, and you guys will make the statistics. The first is the Northern Cinema."
"Tianhua Entertainment Media Company, 230 billion."
"The Hessel consortium, 265 billion."
"Chimelong Steel Group, 255 billion."
……………….
"The eight major Hollywood studios in the United States, 295 billion."
"The northern theater chain, the final winner is the eight major Hollywood film companies in the United States."
"yeah."
Ange and the others were rejoicing. As a result, their eight major Hollywood film companies had more than 7,000 screens in China. Together with their cooperation with the Tohill family, most of China was in their hands.
At this time, Xiao Yunhai seemed to see that the major Hollywood companies had already sounded the horn to attack China. Next, I am afraid it will be the big battle between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies.
Zhao Mingsheng looked serious and said, "It's hard to do now."
On the stage, the host continued to open the bid, and finally the Western Cinema was won by the three major Japanese consortiums with 280 billion.
When the results came out, Cao Huaqian leaned back on the chair and said, "It's over."
Xiao Yuanyang also had a pale face and scolded softly, "These short-sighted entrepreneurs."
Tian Jishang's brows were furrowed, and although his face was always drawn, when he looked at Minister Cao, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
In this auction, the Ministry of Culture originally did not want foreign forces to participate.
But after the news came out, the United States and European countries all collectively sent protest letters, accusing China of protecting the local entertainment industry.
Under pressure, Huaxia had to agree to the participation of foreign companies in the auction.
But what is unexpected is that the Huaxia Cinema Line will be completely divided up by these foreign forces, but my own country is not occupied at all.
You must know that Huaxia Cinema occupies 60% of the entire Huaxia film market. Once foreign films attack Huaxia without any restrictions, it will definitely be a devastating blow to China's local film and television industry.
As the Minister of Culture leading all of this, Cao Huaqian is undoubtedly responsible.
And if Cao Huagan steps down because of this, it will definitely be a good opportunity for Tian Jishang.
With his qualifications and the background of the Li family, Tian Jishang is likely to take over the post of Minister of Culture.
As for Liang Qianqiu, although he has done a very good job since taking office, he has only stayed in the Ministry of Culture for a year, and it is impossible for him to be his turn.
Therefore, Tian Jishang is very happy to see all this, of course, his face will definitely not show it.
