Benjamin Balls, a famous M&A expert on Wall Street. [+New^^+ What he is best at is mergers and acquisitions, first acquiring non-performing assets at a low price, then undergo drastic reforms, eliminate poor performance services, improve the company's accounts, and then sell the company at a high price after making profits.

Ceo, which was previously a 0K chain convenience store, took only three years to grow from 20 to 900, and sold at a high price of 120 million US dollars. What Han Jin most likes is his merger and acquisition speed.

Han Jin knew that Blockbuster's operating model was actually not complicated, and the computer software written by David Cook was not very high-tech, and it was easily copied.

Therefore, if you want to develop and grow Blockbuster, you must learn from the Internet entrepreneurial thinking. If you eat fast fish and slow fish, you will not break the speed. You will grow and grow as fast as possible. By then, even if your competitors copy Blockbuster's operating model, it will be too late.

Therefore, after taking Blockbuster into his pocket, Han Jin immediately injected $100 million into it, allowing Benjamin Balls to start mergers and acquisitions immediately. Whether it is building its own branches, acquiring other video rental stores, or adopting a joint shareholding method, within one year, Blockbuster's branches will be expanded from the current twelve stores to 500 stores.

This means that at least one new branch is required to add at a day, which is a huge challenge for Benjamin Bales. However, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. For the sake of an annual salary of two million US dollars, Benjamin Bales also decided to fight.

...

Just as Benjamin Balls embarked on a long journey of mergers and acquisitions, Han Jin brought Zeng Huarong and his team to the last stop of the United States to perform, and also the last stop of his world tour, Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, one of the largest cities on the western coast of the United States, is here. In addition, the famous Silicon Valley is also located not far from this place.

When I came to Los Angeles for the first time and knew that Hollywood was here, Han Jin was naturally very excited.

Zeng Hualu was even more excited. Once he arrived in Los Angeles, he pulled Han Jin to the Avenue of Stars.

Seeing the palm prints and stars inlaid on the Avenue of Stars, Zeng Huaxuan couldn't help but smile and asked Han Jin, "A Jin. When can you leave your name here?"

Han Jin smiled, "This is not easy. If you want to keep stars here, you not only need to be popular, but also make contributions. I have only been in the industry for three years now. I have only been famous in the United States for two years. Although it is popular, I can't talk about the contributions, and at least I have to accumulate two or three years."

Britney, the youngest singer in history who left her name on the Avenue of Fame, was 22 years old at the time, but she had already released an album at the age of eighteen.

Although Han Jin is now popular in the United States, the time has been too short and has not accumulated so much, so the manager of the Avenue of Stars has not yet considered leaving stars for him.

"Don't worry, I believe you will leave stars here sooner or later." Zeng Huaxuan said to Han Jin with a smile.

"Don't worry. I have nothing to worry about." Han Jin smiled.

He didn't care much about leaving stars on the Avenue of Stars, because in a few years, the stars on the Avenue of Stars will begin to depreciate. At that time, even the female stars on the reality show can leave stars here, and the price will be very depreciating. Han Jin doesn't want to look back and his name is side by side with a certain infamous **, which is really indecent.

...

After visiting the Avenue of Stars, Han Jin and Zeng Huaqian entered the most famous cafe on Sunset Avenue, while enjoying the scenery of Sunset Avenue.

Outside the window, beautiful and charming girls and tall and handsome guys came and went, and there was a constant stream of beautiful girls.

This is Hollywood, and there is never a shortage of people who invented Star Dreams. In order to realize their dreams, they gathered here from all over the world. Some realized their dreams and became prosperous from then on; some dreams were shattered and left this sad place in disappointment; others struggled in the quagmire and wasted their time.

Han Jin looked at the crowd passing by outside the window in a daze, guessing that there might be big names who will become famous in Hollywood in the future.

"A Jin, why are you so fascinated?" Zeng Huaqian couldn't help asking curiously when she saw Han Jin looking worried.

"Nothing~" Han Jin waved his hand and smiled, "Hollywood is Hollywood. There are so many handsome men and beautiful women passing by in just a while, and there are so many talents."

"Hmph, you saw another beauty. Suggest me so that I can also open my eyes." Zeng Huaqian said jealously.

Han Jin smiled, "You misunderstood what I mean. I mean Hollywood's talent reserves are much stronger than our Hong Kong."

"Moviemakers all over the world want to come here to develop, but Hong Kong is not that attractive. According to the Matthew effect in sociology, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak. Now seeing the Hollywood talents soaring, how can you not worry about the future of Hong Kong movies?!" He sighed again.

Zeng Huaqian realized that she had misunderstood Han Jin and couldn't help feeling guilty, "A Jin, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Why do you have to apologize? I know you are unintentional, so how could you be angry with you?" Han Jin smiled, "Let's go, let's go back. The longer I sit here, the less confident I will be in the future."

He originally wanted to cheer up Hong Kong movies and make it truly Hollywood in the East.

But just sitting on Sunset Avenue for a while, he knew that he was thinking too simple.

Hollywood has a history of a hundred years since its establishment. Generations of talented filmmakers have worked together to create this golden sign.

Even if Han Jin is so amazing and beautiful, he will have good memories from his previous life for thirty years, and it will be difficult to compete with thousands of geniuses in a century. Therefore, it is really not easy to build Hong Kong into an Oriental Hollywood and use it to challenge the American Hollywood.

It is already amazing to be able to fulfill this wish in your entire life. To achieve this wish, you must hold the thick legs of the mainland tightly.

Because the mainland will be the world's second largest economy in the future, and may surpass the United States at any time and become the world's largest economy. If South Korea wants Hong Kong movies to continue to develop, it must take the mainland's economic express.

Because filming a movie is inseparable from money, and it is not enough to be less money. Johnny Depp filmed "The End of the World of Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and the cost of the entire movie was as high as 342 million US dollars; director Zhang Yimou from the mainland filmed "The Golden Armor in the City", which was as high as 360 million RMB. It can be seen that filming a movie is a money-burning machine.
