The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2140

[Two thousand one hundred and four harmless to humans and animals]

Auctioning the snuff bottle is a move planned by Roman, even if it is not a snuff bottle, it may be other items. The main purpose is for the Hamilton brothers; but Roman’s cleverness is that he skillfully used the snuff bottle to kill two birds with one stone. , you can kill two birds with one stone without making a sound.

But Roman did not expect that the owner of the snuff bottle was Renly, which was also a windfall.

If Roman was really interested in collecting information about Sisyphus Films, then it would not be a secret that Renly and Andre were close friends and joined forces to create Sisyphus Films. Later, Roman again instructed his assistants to participate in the guitar and score work. Auction, then there is a reasonable explanation.

It can even be further guessed that, perhaps, Roman initially hoped to use Andre as a bridge to make friends with Renly.

Of course, this is all just a guess. As for the specific truth, it is estimated that Roman did not have the leisure to explain it to Renly.

“I’m starting to wonder now whether Andre has the right to speak in Sisyphus Pictures, or is it you who really speaks.” This sentence is meaningful: Roman hopes to find the leader to talk to, while Lan Li took the initiative to come to the door – he didn’t even have time to find Andre.

Or maybe, Roman deliberately didn’t look for Andre, knowing that Renly would definitely fall into the trap.

From this point of view, Renly had already lost the first move before the conversation started. After all, Roman was the one who came prepared, while Renly fought passively.

Facing Roman’s temptation, Renly was slightly surprised, but he didn’t panic, but instead asked, “I never knew that you were interested in movies.” As for Roman’s guess, he pretended that it didn’t happen.

Roman was not in a hurry and said slowly, “I’m interested in all things that make money. Acting is your hobby, and making money is mine.”

“Ha.” Renly chuckled, “What movies can bring It’s far less profitable than oil, and creating a movie company is a far cry from buying a football team.”

“Don’t you know? The annual revenue of Warner Bros.’s film division reached $240 million last year, more than double that of Chelsea.” Roman threw the bomb lightly.

“But that’s Warner Bros. Sisyphus is not Warner Bros.” Renly said as a matter of course: Not to mention, the huge initial investment in the film is even more unimaginable. Sisyphus Pictures wants to grow gradually. Devotion is definitely not something a football team can match.

Roman did not speak immediately, but looked at Renly quietly, “I never knew,

The famous Renly Hall is actually so timid?

It was provocative. Renly didn’t mind.

”

My boldness was never in business.

“Performance? Extreme sports? Vanity Fair? These are all fine, but it’s definitely not a business field. He’s a layman who doesn’t know anything about stocks, and he doesn’t even know how to calculate risk.

Roman held the whiskey and shook his head slightly, “What I’ve heard is absolutely not the case.

Renly

realized that Roman was prepared and that he could not speak easily, otherwise he would be passive, so he quietly waited for Roman to speak.

Roman did not continue to sell things, “I heard that Sisyphus Shadow Industry ready to get involved in online video playback platform?

In addition to London, you have also traveled to Berlin and Venice. I am curious, where is your next stop?

After speaking, Roman picked up the whisky and took a sip on his lips.

Sure enough, he came prepared.

In fact, Renly’s actions in London in March were very secretive, but in the end, he couldn’t hide it from anyone who wanted to know about Hall wind. The affair with Sisyphus Pictures will be leaked sooner or later. Roman is now living in London. It is not an accident that he can know those rumors.

But the problem is that Roman can actually guess Renly’s move to Berlin and Venice. , there is a deep meaning behind it, which is very rare. Maybe Roman still doesn’t know the specific truth for the time being, but he has already sniffed out the anomaly, which itself shows that his business acumen is terrifying.

If it is for Don Quixote German Channel, then things make sense.

Netflix is gradually expanding its footsteps. Although it has not been able to achieve results for the time being, discussions in the industry have begun to emerge one after another.

Just like the rise of Facebook at the beginning, in fact The industry is generally not optimistic, but the venture capital institutions in Silicon Valley are able to gain insight and open up the situation. Now the same is true of online streaming media, the industry has not paid attention to it at all, but the attention of Silicon Valley has also gathered and started discussions.

Who would have thought that five years later, Netflix’s annual revenue will be able to compete with Disney – the Disney that dominates the North American market with the two mountains of Marvel and Star Wars; five years later, Netflix’s market value has been able to compete with Disney Google, Facebook, Apple and other giants are on a par – really among the top companies in the world?

Even Silicon Valley VC funds did not expect this scale, and this is the most wonderful thing about the Internet economy.

Renly was reborn, so he knew; but Roman?

This is very interesting.

However, from another perspective, in the last life, Roman was not involved in the film industry: firstly

, this was not his area of expertise, and after all, it still involved artistic creation, which was his shortcoming.

At Chelsea, he hired an entire professional team to make relevant decisions, and he tried his best to avoid his non-professional influence on the team’s decision-making; but football is one of Roman’s passions, even if he doesn’t participate in decision-making, he knows the team What happened; but film and art, he really had no voice, even if he hired a professional team, he couldn’t be involved.

Roman is a personality who doesn’t like things getting out of his control.

Second, he didn’t have a chance. The film industry in the 21st century has formed a relatively stable structure. Outside of the six major Hollywood film companies, it is difficult to see rising stars joining the battlefield. DreamWorks failed to succeed, and Lionsgate did not. No; and Netflix’s rise is more like a beautiful accident. When it rises, it is too late for external intervention, because the entire momentum has been formed, and even forced acquisitions cannot ensure a return.

The acquisition of Chelsea was taking advantage of a financial slump.

The situation in this life has undergone a subtle change. The rise of Renly has become the biggest accident, and Sisyphus Pictures, which is like a seedling, has shown the potential of a towering tree, which allows Roman to see an opportunity.

I have to say that Roman is very, very smart. Maybe he doesn’t know anything about movies, but his business sense is unquestionable. Even Disney and Warner Bros. didn’t see it, and even Sony Pictures got close to Sisyphus Pictures. There was so much cooperation and he still didn’t see it, but he saw it.

Even with the gambling element in it, Roman’s acumen is astounding.

Looking at Roman who is harmless to humans and animals in front of him, his shy and shy smile is a little restrained, as if he didn’t realize how much weight his conversations have – or, to this self-made tycoon who has become the world’s top tycoon In other words, the topic under discussion is “not enough”.

But the question is, should Renly team up with Roman?

Especially with Chelsea as a reference?

“Cannes.” The turbulent thoughts just flashed in his mind, and then Renly showed his wit and gave an answer, completely avoiding the hints in Roman’s words.

This made Roman couldn’t help but chuckle, “You’re an interesting guy.” Then, the smile faded a little, and he said with a sincere expression, “I just think this is a very interesting proposal, Just like when Apple moved computers to mobile phones, who could have predicted that this would completely change our way of life? Now, it must be very interesting if we can also put TV and movies on mobile phones and break the constraints of space one thing.”

In one sentence!

Roman is indeed a businessman with a keen sense of business and a vision for the future… businessman, perhaps the traditional nobles still think that the world is full of copper stench, but he can grasp the pulse of the times, and more importantly, grasp the destiny. Pulse – how else could he be a billionaire at thirty?

And rely entirely on their own business ability, not Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and other types who use their brains and technology to stay ahead of the times – opportunistic, sometimes more than talent and technology difficulty.

Without continuing to go around, Roman went straight to Huang Long and stated his real purpose: he hopes to invest in Sisyphus Films and Don Quixote Channel.

And capital, which is precisely what Renly lacks now – Roman Reigns is not a consortium, and his wealth does not need to be approved by the shareholders’ meeting or the board of directors. This is the biggest difference between him and Wall Street; The reason for the full rise in ten years.

I have to say, this is a very, very attractive proposition.

After finishing speaking, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Roman did not go any further, but clicked to the point, because they all knew that such cooperation could not come to a conclusion in one conversation, and Renly could not agree directly. Roman still needs to investigate, things are far from simple, today is just the beginning, and then Roman joked again, “It seems that I am more suitable for the style of the commoners, and the sense of aristocratic ritual is not used.”

This Self-deprecating, Renly also temporarily cleared up his chaotic thoughts, and said with a smile, “The so-called commoners and nobles are after all abiding by a customary rule. I think you should be free from constraints and abide by your own rules. ”

Oh.” Roman laughed loudly and waved his hands again and again, “I follow the rules, I follow the rules very much, I am a good citizen who follows the rules of society and the rules of the law, remember? I always think that the lawyer is me It is also the group that needs to be respected the most.”

In this way, only oneself can interpret the meaning in detail, which made Renly also laugh, “Then, I need to introduce my lawyer friend to you again. Is it?” This means that today’s business conversation is over, and Matthew can appear again.

Roman did not refuse, “Of course, of course! This is my honor.”
