Chapter 583 Extremely ridiculous(2/2)
Tao Yumo was anxious, "Sister, my brother-in-law is kind-hearted. This is a loan, not a failure to repay it."
"You can make up your own big words." Tao Yushu insisted on his own opinion.
"Oh well!"
Lin Chaoyang gave Tao Yumo a look, saying that he could not help.
Tao Yumo felt deeply depressed and accused her sister: "You are creating obstacles for me by humans!"
"You are not without money, nor are you without the channels to raise money. If you want to acquire Pixar, the company will pay for you. You are still counting on us to pay for money in the business. So what is the meaning of the acquisition?"
Tao Yumo was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely knock Disney down this time when I return to the United States."
Tao Yushu warned her, "Disney is black, do you think they will make you a lot of money?"
"Now it's not about how much money you make, but about how to survive, right?"
Seeing that his sister was clear-headed, Tao Yushu nodded.
She didn't pay the money, but she was really afraid of losing money. She just felt that this girl was getting bigger and bigger now, so she still had to hold some reins.
After three days of returning to Xiangjiang, Tao Yumo set off for the United States again. This time she not only wanted to win Pixar animation, but also restarted negotiations with Disney.
According to CTO Edwin Carter, one of the founders of Pixar Animation, Disney's current CEO Jeffrey Carsonberg is a difficult character, and the mission to go to the United States this time is even more difficult than before.
No longer as full of energy as half a month ago, when I stepped on the plane again, Tao Yumo felt a sense of tragic feeling of wind and cold Yishui.
"You said, can she do it?"
Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang worriedly that her mentality is very complicated now, just like her parents sending children who are admitted to college to school.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let her go."
Lin Chaoyang's answer seemed a little heartless, but it was the best way.
My sister-in-law can't always be a flower in the greenhouse, and she can also experience the ups and downs outside.
Another Monday, just as the Hong Kong stock market opened, Yulang Institution announced a suspension of trading, and the market immediately became lively.
All kinds of gossips flew together.
If a listed company's stock is suspended, there are either major matters to be disclosed, such as mergers and reorganizations, major investments, equity changes, etc.: or if it is an illegal or irregular operation in financial or investment decisions.
Before investors could spread it for a while, Yulang Institution issued an announcement:
The company plans to jointly acquire Pixar Animation Studios in the United States with shareholders Tao Yushu and Tao Yumo for US$130 million.
As soon as the news came out, major investment institutions and shareholders were in an uproar.
Acquisition! See acquisition again!
In July, Yulang Institution acquired Sugar Games for 522 million yuan. How long has it been? The game company has not yet digested it, but it actually raised the banner of acquisition again.
130 million US dollars, that's nearly 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!
When the news of Yulang's agency's acquisition of sugar games came out, the market response was enthusiastic.
Investment institutions and individual investors agreed that this investment was a beneficial supplement to Yulang's institutional business copyright and was a major benefit, so the stock price continued to rise.
Now that the second such a large-scale acquisition is going to be carried out in such a short time, even those radical investors who are happy to see the expansion of listed companies can't help but wonder.
This investment strategy is too radical!
The key is that no one has ever heard of this Pixar Animation Studio, and some investment institutions immediately went to check the information of Pixar Animation Studio.
It was discovered that this animation studio was the computer animation department of Lucasfilm. In 1986, it was acquired by Apple's founder Steve Jobs for $10 million and officially became an independent company.
After several years of establishment, it has only made several animation short films and some advertising short films. It has won many awards, but it has been in a loss.
Looking at this information, many investment institutions frowned.
They really couldn't understand why Yulang Institution wanted to acquire such an animation company that has been losing money for years.
With the spread and spread of acquisition news, doubts about the Yulang Institution's acquisition case have been one after another in the market.
Amid doubts, Yulang Institution's stock price rarely showed a three-game decline, falling 17% in three days.
Tao Yushu, who had expected this to happen, was calm and did not feel panic at all. Instead, he took this opportunity to buy back a wave of shares and quickly stabilized the stock price.
As October approaches, Lin Chaoyang, who has lived in seclusion in recent months, has become the focus of many media attention from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places.
The second Thursday of October every year is the day when the results of the Nobel Prize in Literature are announced.
If it were in previous years, these media might not have linked Lin Chaoyang with the Nobel Prize in Literature, but this year is different.
Last year, Lin Chaoyang just won the Newstat International Literature Prize, known as the "American Nobel Prize in Literature", and the Newstat International Literature Prize is far less famous internationally than the Nobel Prize in Literature.
But there is a magical thing about it, that is, the number of writers who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature among the winners and nominees over the years is quite considerable, which is also the origin of its nickname.
In addition, Lin Chaoyang's works have set off a craze in the United States this year. Two or three months ago, the "Lin Chaoyang phenomenon" attracted the attention of the media in various countries in East Asian countries.
The United States is the leader of European and American countries. Its works have been greatly welcomed in the United States, greatly enhancing Lin Chaoyang's international reputation.
Many media believe that under such circumstances, Lin Chaoyang's nomination for the Nobel Prize in Literature and even the possibility of winning the prize will increase significantly.
The media are entertaining themselves, and many people in the literary world join in the fun. They analyze the possibility of Lin Chaoyang winning the award in a serious way. There are also Lin Chaoyang's acquaintances, such as Li Tuo from the mainland, and Chen Yingzhen from Wandao.
wait.
By October 8, this year's Nobel Prize in Literature was announced, and the winner was Derek Walcott, a poet born on the Island of St. Lucia.
As soon as the result came out, the voices discussing whether Lin Chaoyang would win the prize were immediately overwhelmed by various reports about the new Nobel Prize winners.
This result disappointed many Lin Chaoyang's supporters. Li Tuo specially called Lin Chaoyang for a long distance to comfort him not to be angry and continue to work hard, which made Lin Chaoyang laugh and cry.
"If you're fine, don't waste your phone bills, write your comments."
"Then you release a new book quickly. I have no comments now. The literary world has been in a recession in the past two years, and there are no decent works."
Li Tuo’s complaints are not groundless. In recent years, the literary craze has gradually cooled down and is no longer the grand occasion of the 1980s.
In addition to the suspension of publication of many local literary journals, the sales of major literary journals continue to shrink, and the sales of books are also declining sharply. Every year, there are fewer and fewer new works. Li Tuo talks more and more.
"That day I looked through the old magazine and saw the article "The Inevitable Rise and Decline of Scar Literature" published in October more than ten years ago. I didn't think anything was there at that time.
Now, your insights were indeed advanced.”
Lin Chaoyang heard Li Tuo's loss and comforted him, "The 1980s was a very special period. Reading has not been regarded as popular entertainment from ancient times to the present, and reading of serious literature is even more of a niche among the niches, but this
There is always a need.
You have felt that the changes have been obvious in the past two years, but to a large extent, it is because the frequency of producing good works is getting less and less than before."
"That's the reason, so I urged you to write a new book as soon as possible and write more works like "Dallas Buyers Club". A novel has been so lively in the domestic literary world for several months."
"Dallas Buyer Club" was published more than a month later than in the United States. The theme of this novel is extremely bold and can even cause such a large amount of public opinion in American society, let alone in a relatively conservative country. .
After the novel was launched, it soon sparked heated discussions in the domestic literary community and the majority of readers.
In terms of work quality, the reputation of this novel is impeccable, and it can be regarded as a new high for Lin Chaoyang in recent years.
"In this novel, Lin Chaoyang successfully portrays a series of flesh-and-blood characters, especially Ron and Rennes.
They are not only a microcosm of marginal groups in a specific era, but also transcend some kind of flat label and become a human fable with universal values.
The relationship between the two people from opposition to symbiosis, from utilization to dependence, reveals that in the desperate situation of survival, the high wall of prejudice is destined to be disintegrated by empathy, and true courage is often born from the understanding and acceptance of defects and alternative understanding."
This passage in a literary review article written by Li Tuo for "Dallas Buyer Club" two months ago is the best annotation of the novel and its protagonists Ron and Rennes.
It also won a lot of praise for him in the literary world and resonated with many readers.
But good reputation is good, and the controversy caused by "Dallas Buyer Club" after its launch is not small at all.
In the early 1990s, the folk customs remained conservative.
There is also the topic of homosexuality. Chinese people are not that scared of this thing, but this thing has never been mentioned in Chinese culture in recent years.
"Dallas Buyer Club" not only mentioned it, but also mentioned it very boldly, which stimulated the sensitive nerves of many people.
On the one hand, these exciting elements have made many readers very interested in this novel, and on the other hand, many people are afraid of this novel.
In June, some people were willing to ban the novel "Dallas Buyer Club" on the grounds that it promoted BL ideas to relevant departments.
After this remark appeared, it was recognized by many people.
They believe that the content described in this novel can easily have an impact on children who are not well-informed. Lin Chaoyang can understand this mood, but the practice is worth investing.
This is the same as parents think that electronic games are easy to make their children addicted and should ban electronic games.
Things themselves are both sides. As long as they are not those things that are very tortured, why should they be banned?
The reason is very simple. This is the most worry-free, labor-saving, and also saves trouble and responsibility.
But unfortunately, their reasons are somewhat absurd, not to mention that with Lin Chaoyang's current status in China, such a petition is naturally impossible to achieve.
Later, there was a more ridiculous argument among the people, saying that Lin Chaoyang described in detail the process of the protagonist Ron against the FDA in his novel, believing that this was an allusion to guide people to engage in confrontation.
If the former argument is still unfair, then the latter argument is an exaggeration of evil intentions.
In the novel, Ron is confronting the American power organization. If he wants to be labeled, he should be said to be afraid of affecting the friendship between the two countries.
When Lin Chaoyang heard this argument, his first reaction was not even angry, but laughing.
