In the hotel reception room, Marvel Comics' current CEO Avi Arad introduced Ronan to a middle-aged man who was walking with him.

"Ronan, this is Lloyd Blankfein, the president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs Group." Avi Arard said with a smile: "Lloyd, this is Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment Group."

While Avi Arad introduced, Ronan looked at Lloyd Blankfein calmly. This man looked old and it was hard to tell people that his actual age was. His towering nose seemed to have a bit of Jewish characteristics. His bare head had a Mediterranean hairstyle dedicated to successful people.

Calm, sophisticated, smart...

Luo Nan made a judgment quietly, of course the biggest judgment was that this was actually from Goldman Sachs Group!

What Goldman Sachs Group is? I believe that people who have a little understanding of the investment industry and Wall Street are very clear. This is one of the five major investment banks that provide a wide range of investment, consulting and financial services to the world.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson." Lloyd Blankfein smiled warmly: "I have heard that Hollywood has produced a very amazing producer, but I have never been able to meet each other. Being able to see you today has fulfilled my great wish."

Ronan shook hands with Lloyd Blankfein and said, "Mr. Blackfein is a business senior, and the little achievements I made are worth mentioning."

What did Goldman Sachs Group do for him? Ronan couldn't help but guess, and soon there was an answer, probably related to investment.

Lloyd Blankfein smiled and said, "Mr. Anderson is too modest. I am looking for a job everywhere at your age."

Avi Arad suddenly said: "Ronan, Lloyd, you guys talk, I have something to do, go out and make a call."

Ronan and Lloyd Blankfein both understood that Avi Arad did not want to interfere with their affairs, and was actively avoiding it.

Lloyd Blankfein smiled and nodded: "Avie, please."

Ronan glanced at Avi Arad, who took out his cell phone and left the hotel reception room.

"Mr. Anderson," Lloyd Blankfein said sincerely: "Congratulations to your company on another box office hit."

Ronan responded politely: "Thank you." He didn't want to go around in circles, so he simply asked directly: "Mr. Blankfein..."

"Lloyd." Lloyd Blankfein emphasized: "Call me Lloyd."

Ronan was so kind: "Lloyd, are you here on behalf of Goldman Sachs today? Are you asking me for something?"

Lloyd Blankfein was a little surprised by Ronan's directness, and adjusted his language a little, saying, "I am representing Goldman Sachs Group, to help Relativity Entertainment Group."

Luo Nan frowned slightly: "Help Relativity Entertainment Group?"

"I got a news some time ago." Lloyd Blankefein said, shaking the bright Mediterranean: "When the French Vivendi Group sold Universal Entertainment Group, your relativity entertainment group competed with NBC."

Ronan smiled and said, "It's true, but Relativity Entertainment lost."

Lloyd Blankfein looked at Ronan and asked, "Is your company defeated by the bid?"

"Yes." Ronan could not deny: "Relativity Entertainment's bid is much lower than NBC."

Lloyd Blankefein's words are profound: "If I could have won Universal Pictures Entertainment Group at that time, Relativity Entertainment would have been the top entertainment company in Hollywood."

Ronan actually regrets: "I also feel that it's a pity that I may not have such a good opportunity in the future."

"What if there is?" Lloyd Blankfein took the initiative step by step, as if he had completely grasped the initiative: "Will there be such a good opportunity in the future? With the strength and funds of relativity entertainment, can we seize it?"

Ronan said calmly: "There is another possibility that the future relativity entertainment will no longer need such opportunities because it has developed itself."

"That also requires a lot of money!" Lloyd Blankfein followed: "Goldman Sachs can become a funding provider of Relativity Entertainment Group and is willing to develop together with Relativity Entertainment."

The side is detour, the back is intercepted, and timely rescue is one after another. These words are spoken from the mouth of this Goldman Sachs executive, which is simply the most beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it has only one purpose.

Ronan asked directly: "Goldman Sachs Group wants to invest in relativity entertainment?"

Lloyd Blankfein asked: “Does the Relativity Entertainment need financial support?”

"No need at the moment." Ronan's answer was beyond Lloyd Blankfein's expectations: "Movies are a high-risk investment, but the overall profits of successful movies are quite considerable. A movie that has achieved great success can often bring huge returns. How many movies are there under the Relativity Entertainment Group?"

He smiled and said, "Lloyd, to be honest, Relativity Entertainment Group has a large amount of cash reserves and is currently not short of funds."

Lloyd Blankfein knew it wouldn't be so smooth, he smiled and asked, "Can't Relativity Entertainment become a first-tier company like Hollywood's top six?"

Ronan smiled but said without saying a word. After a while, he said, "It is both a problem of funds and not a problem of funds." He didn't want to explain too much about Hollywood's internal affairs to outsiders. If he really wanted to talk about it, he couldn't explain it clearly for a while. He simply said, "Lloyd, I am very grateful to Goldman Sachs for his kindness, but in terms of entertainment, Goldman Sachs appeared a little late."

Lloyd Blankfein didn't quite understand what this said: "Goldman Sachs and I were a little late?"

Ronan bluntly said: "A few months ago, when Relativity Entertainment intended to acquire Universal Pictures Entertainment Group, it asked Goldman Sachs for financing, but Goldman Sachs Group clearly refused."

"Sorry." Lloyd Blankfein didn't seem to be a fake: "I didn't know there was this."

Ronan carefully observed and felt that what Lloyd Blankfein said should be the truth. If you think about it carefully, this possibility is also very great. Goldman Sachs is a partner company, and the internal situation is extremely complicated, and the dispersion of strength and will is inevitable.

He sighed lightly: "The opportunity to use 10 billion US dollars of funds has been missed. Currently, Relativity Entertainment does not lack funds. You should have heard that Relativity Entertainment has broad financing channels and has close cooperation with many investment groups such as island countries, South Korea, India, Germany and South Africa."

Goldman Sachs Group finds potential investment targets and will definitely conduct investigations and analysis. Lloyd Blankfein naturally knows these.

In this regard, Goldman Sachs Group did appear a little late, which has already made overseas peers take the lead.

But Lloyd Blankfein also has a killer weapon: "Ronan, Goldman Sachs Group is very sincere." He suddenly tentatively said: "Goldman Sachs Group is willing to exchange $1 billion for 30% of your company's shares."

Goldman Sachs Group's most optimistic assessment of Relativity Entertainment is that the entire company's valuation is between 2 billion and 25 US dollars. This is because there are many films that have exploded in box office this year. The transaction of 1 billion US dollars for 30% of shares is very cost-effective for Relativity Entertainment in any aspect.

Such investment and such bids are indeed very sincere. Ronan admits this. Goldman Sachs Group clearly sees the future development of Relativity Entertainment. With a 30% stake in the 1 billion US dollar, it is about to place Relativity Entertainment at the level equivalent to the six major Hollywood players.

Although Universal Pictures is worth more than 10 billion US dollars, it integrates the total value of many businesses such as film and television production and distribution, music production and distribution, game development and Universal Studios.

Among the six major Hollywood companies, just about the value of film and television companies, today's era is only $60 billion.

If it were someone else, he might agree, but Ronan didn't want to respond.

First of all, with the support of frequent financing from the Pacific Investment Foundation, Relativity Entertainment has not been short of funds in a short period of time.

Second and most important point, Ronan believes that this cannot truly reflect the value of relativity entertainment, such as the huge copyright system currently owned by relativity entertainment.

Not to mention anything else, Hasbro's two ace toy series and Marvel's Avenger series, the film copyrights are all in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

Before it was made into a movie, the value of these copyrights was not much higher than the transaction price when they were originally won, but what about the real value?

Ronan slowly stretched out two fingers: "Two billion US dollars, fifteen percent stake! This is the limit I can accept."

Lloyd Blankfein's face changed for a moment, and then he returned to normal. This appetite was not only big, but also too big!

Without internal discussions, Lloyd Blankfein could make a decision: "Mr. Anderson, such a request lacks sincerity in cooperation."

This does lack sincerity, but Ronan believes that the theory of relativity is worth this price.

Of course, investment cooperation like this requires one's own will. Relativity Entertainment has developed to this day and has also had a certain degree of resistance to stress.

In the future, Relativity Entertainment will inevitably absorb investment from the outside, but not now.

Today, Relativity Entertainment has just completed its platform and has begun to enter the first-line commercial production, which is not very valuable.

Lloyd Blankfein shook his head secretly and said, "Even a large investment bank like Goldman Sachs can't get a billion dollars at any time. I missed this opportunity. If Relativity Entertainment wants to cooperate with Goldman Sachs next time, we will be powerless."

"Actually, I really want to cooperate with Goldman Sachs." Ronan did not mean to give up: "Lloyd, you think my offer is too much, but I think it's reasonable."

Seeing Lloyd Blankfein refuting, Ronan said first: "We can put these disputes aside and cooperate with each other from another perspective."

Lloyd Blankfein felt that this young man was too difficult to deal with, and he wondered: "Which angle should I change?"
