The impact of capital on the entertainment industry.Since capital entered this circle, the entertainment industry has become more and more prosperous.But at the same time, the entertainment industry has also lost its independence.Today, after the 21st century.In the entire entertainment industry, there is no longer a pure land.It has long been harvested by various capitals and divided into their respective fields.Former media giants have teamed up to acquire the Big Six in Hollywood.At that time, it was a kind of harvest, and this kind of harvest was completed in the 60s of the last century, and the entertainment circles in Hollywood and Europe and the United States had been enclosed.Comer.The entry of this kind of capital on the Huaxia side will come a lot in the evening.It wasn't until around 2010 that capital discovered that the hot land of the entertainment industry was frantically pouring in.The difference between the two is.Because the capital markets in Europe and the United States are relatively mature, and they have basically been in this circle early, there are fewer adverse effects.Unlike Huaxia.After the capital entered the entertainment industry.There was all sorts of unbelievable chaos.For example, the high remuneration of all kinds of small fresh meat, the rampant cutout traffic actresses, and all kinds of really talented artists, but they are not taken seriously.Capital will guide a bad atmosphere, but capital is also guided by the public taste, and the public taste is guided by the movie, and it is capital that a good hit comes out to follow the trend.Although things that are done seriously can still be recognized in the end, whether they are willing to do it seriously is the problem of the practitioners themselves, so if the industry collapses because of the bad atmosphere, they can't rely on capital.The Oasis investment in Paramount is a new energy for Hollywood and the entertainment industry.But for the rest of the media giants, this is the entry of a new capital giant.Just like AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner, many economic experts predict that this kind of acquisition of media giants by capital giants will definitely become more and more intense in the future.But none of this has anything to do with Abel for the time being.He left the press conference after the signing of the Paramount change of ownership agreement and the announcement of three $2 billion plans.Because David Adams, Winnie's cousin, came to the door with someone from the Union Oil Company of California.The Union Oil Company of California, also known as Unocal Oil Company.It was once known as the ninth largest oil company in the United States.In the past, Unocal had oil and gas exploration assets and projects in Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh and other places in Asia.Unocal is the seventh-largest oil company in the United States by operating revenue.Huge economies of scale brought business opportunities, and the oil industry supported California's rapid growth in the southern United States.Until the mid-90s of the 20th century, Unocal was California's premier producer of oil and gasoline.Subsequently, the company set aside its gasoline business to focus on oil exploration and production in other regions, especially overseas, with oil and gas extraction assets and projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Texas in North America, as well as Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar and Bangladesh in Asia.This strategic decision led to the tragic end of the future United Oil Company of California.Due to the large investment abroad, too much land, offshore oil resources, and a huge amount of money has been invested.As a result, the exploration efforts did not pay off, and Unocal continued to lose money for many years, and finally filed for bankruptcy with the United States government, which was put up for sale in January 2005.On the business side, this matter has a big impact!
The sale attracted more than US$13 billion in 2005 from Huaxia Offshore Oil Co., Ltd.
(CNOOC), China's third-largest oil and gas conglomerate, to Unocal, which will mark the largest and most important overseas acquisition of Huaxia.That's $13 billion in 2005, and the purchasing power of $13 billion at that time is not comparable to the $13 billion it is now.It hasn't experienced 13 years of inflation, the Fed's printing of dollars, or the financial crises of 2008 and 2009.At that time, the purchasing power of $13 billion was at least equivalent to more than $30 billion now in 2018.Huaxia Offshore Oil is willing to spend so much money to acquire California United Oil, which is already very sincere.Among the many companies that had the intention of acquiring at the beginning, Huaxia Offshore Oil was definitely the one that contributed the most money.But......
And it didn't work for eggs.The result was, of course, unsuccessful.A Chinese company wants to buy an American company, unless the American company is the kind of company that has no reputation, or one of those small broken companies that has no oil and water.Otherwise, it will not be successful.The capitalists want to sell, and the federal government won't allow it.If you have money, you can really buy everything.Without the current China, a country thirty or forty years ago had the financial resources to buy half of the United States.Have they succeeded?
No.They were dug a big hole by the Americans, and they bought things except real estate.The rest of the things bought, except for the ones that nominally belong to them, everything else, from dividends to senior management, still belong to Lao Mei.No way.The lackey state is not worthy of sovereignty.And Huaxia could not allow such a thing to happen like the one in the past.So very simply, important enterprises and industries, the United States will not sell to Huaxia.This is especially true in the high-tech industry.For example, the weakness of Huaxia, various computer processors and other technologies.An AMD company is only more than $10 billion, and the market value is only billions of dollars at the cheapest.If Huaxia can buy it, you can afford to buy more than a dozen of them.Not to mention AMD, although the market value of Intel is as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, if they are willing to sell, it is estimated that 500 billion US dollars, Huaxia is willing to buy.But is it possible to buy it?
Impossible......
There are many examples of this, and the federal government of the United States of America would rather these companies lose money to the point of bankruptcy, and then liquidate and be merged by these other companies.It is impossible to sell it to Huaxia.Ultimately......
Unocal Oil also merged with Chevron, a domestic company.It's just that even more than ten years have passed.People inside the Uniocal Petroleum Company, also known as Union Oil, still insist that they are United Oil, not Chevron.There is a faint internal confrontation between the two sides.Chevron has always maintained a blood-sucking attitude towards California Union Oil, and all kinds of oil fields that can be regarded as rich in oil have been brought to Chevron Oil Company under the name of California Union Oil under various names......
Because of the special relationship between California and Texas, California Union Oil has been reluctant to fully integrate into Chevron because of its special relationship with Texas and the fact that California Union Oil has been reluctant to fully integrate into Chevron.Abel's brother-in-law.David Adams is one such senior manager at Union Oil of California.But nominally, the title he wrote on his business card is actually Chevron's senior manager of energy exploration.As for David Adams, why did he come to the door.Naturally, it is not beneath the wasteland adjacent to California and Nevada, which has been detected to contain about 2.2 billion barrels of oil.The content of this oil field is 2.2 billion barrels, and it has been detected to be excellent quality light oil, which has great extraction value!
And there is also an abundance of natural gas underneath, which is another asset.This oil field has also become a witness to Abel's magical investment vision.Abel didn't even have time to leave the Central Hilton Hotel when he saw his brother-in-law leading a group of people to find him.And straight to the point.When Abel showed a smile and didn't speak, David Adams said very simply: "Dear Abel!
Do you want to be the new oil tycoon?
Do you want to be the former Rockefeller?
”Hear the words.Abel raised an eyebrow.Poker face.Why?
David.How could the current federal government allow a new Rockefeller to emerge?
What's more, Rockefeller is not only oil now, they have long been free from the restrictions of oil!
”In the face of Abel's Gu left and right, he said.David Adams smiled disapprovingly, then let out a few people behind him, and introduced them one by one: "This is the vice president of Chevron's headquarters and the president of the California region!"
Anthony Smith!
”He finished introducing the elderly white man with a smile and a Mediterranean haircut.Then introduce a middle-aged man next to him.This is Chevron's Director of Overseas Exploration and Chevron's Vice President of California.William Jones!
”Then he introduced the rest of them."
This is Chevron's Senior Exploration Manager, Andy Taylor!""
This is the deputy general manager of the Chevron oil gas station chain, Jack Thompson!"
The "......" have been introduced one by one.It's all Chevron oil people.Chevron Inc., formerly known as Standard Oil of California.Since there used to be two words standard in the name, it proves that this company came from Standard Oil back then.And Standard Oil ......
It was the ancestor of the Rockefeller family, the world's first billionaire, John Rockefeller, who created it.According to Abel Adams.After the Civil War, the United States of America almost split up for the second time, because the financial consortium families led by the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family tried to challenge the old political families that had been handed down since the founding of the country.In the end, the internal war ended with a compromise between the two sides.It was in this split that Standard Oil was successfully split by the efforts of the political elders in 1911 with the Antitrust Act!
Chevron oil is a part of the split from the original standard oil.One of the world's once largest corporations, the world's super-energy conglomerate, Standard Oil was cut into seven companies, known as the Seven Sisters in the last century.The Boss, Standard Oil of New Jersey, later Exxon, now ExxonMobil; second, Shell (Anglo-Dutch joint venture); the third, the British Persian Petroleum Company, which later became British Petroleum (which later merged with Amoco, but was still called British Petroleum); Fourth, Standard Oil of New York, later known as Mobil Oil, later merged with Exxon to form ExxonMobil; The fifth, Texaco, later merged with Chevron to become Chevron Texaco; The sixth, Standard Oil of California, later became Chevron, and now merges with Texaco to form Chevron Texaco; The old seventh, Gulf Oil, later became part of Chevron.Having said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, Chevron oil is simply the asset of the Rockefeller family!
And David Adams, an elite son of a political veteran family, came to the door with someone from the Rockefeller family's oil company.Abel knew, of course, it wouldn't be that simple.Remembering that David Adams has always supported himself to work at Union Oil in California, not at Chevron's California branch.What's in there.It's actually easy to imagine."
Welcome, welcome!"
Able smiled.Reaching out to the Chevron executives, "Welcome to the elites of the oil industry!"
Today is the day of Lizhou's investment acquisition of Paramount, and a cocktail party will be held here in the evening, I hope you can participate......"
The elderly white man from the Mediterranean next to David Adams said with a smile: "Mr.
Sephorosa is really young and promising!"
It is the first time in the history of mankind that such an astonishing wealth has been amassed at such a young age!
”"Haha......"
"It's all just luck!"
Abel laughed."
No......
Luck may be important.But if it's like this every time, it's not luck.It's strength or ......
Destiny!
”Chevron's president of California, Anthony Smith, said with a smile."
Hehe......"
Abel smiled back.Seeing that Abel had no other reaction than to smile.Anthony Smith gritted his teeth, "Speaking of fate......
All of us here have always felt that United Oil of California does not deserve the fate that it is currently enduring!
”He suddenly pointed to the people around him and asked in a loud voice to Abel, "Mr.
Sephorosa!
Would you rather own an oil company, an oil company with one of the best exploration capabilities in the world?
”Able frowned.Twice.As soon as David Adams arrived, he asked himself if he wanted to be an oil tycoon.Now this Anthony Smith has to ask himself if he wants to own an oil company.Thinking of the feud between California Union Oil and Chevron, Abel was thoughtful.As for asking him if he wants to own a United Oil Company and if he wants to be an oil tycoon.His answer, of course, was: Yes!

Throughout today, the guys with huge influence are all brilliant achievements in the industry.In terms of industry, what industry can compare with the military industry and energy?
Owning an oil company is a formal entry into the energy industry.Entering the energy industry is basically officially entering the real control sequence of the country!
Don't look at Apple's market capitalization, it once almost exceeded $1 trillion.It is also the most profitable company in the world, with more cash flow than more than 80% of the world's countries.But no Apple company has more influence at the top of the government of the United States of America than any of the seven sisters of Standard Oil.Even if Chevron has a market capitalization of only $200 billion, its impact on the state and federal governments still exceeds that of the trillion-dollar Apple company.That's the impact of the energy industry!
Just when Abel was silent.David Adams leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You were in the study, and you promised us something......
Now, it's time for us to work hard!
”He pointed to Anthony Smith."
That's one of our rewards, an oil company......
You haven't forgotten, right?!
”Abel was silent again.He certainly didn't forget.After all, when he went to Massachusetts to find Winnie, he actually deliberately looked for an opportunity to go.The words with Abel Adams in the study made him understand the truth about the upper echelons of America.At the same time, he also chose to stand aside.He chose to side with the political patriarchs and promised Abel Adams to be their white glove.Abel Adams also promised him that they would give him something in return and would give him support.This kind of reward and support has not been seen until now.According to David Adams, is this the reward they said was finally there?
Let's be honest.If you can really get an oil company, or the behemoth of the former California Union Oil, even if it is California Union Oil after being cramped by Chevron, it is still very attractive.The energy industry is different from the high-tech industry, and the first-mover advantage of this industry is really everything.After all, this is an industry that needs state support.Other industries can start from scratch and can be acquired for a fortune.But this is almost impossible for the energy industry, especially the oil industry, unless you are willing to be a white glove for those countries.At this time, if you can get a mature oil industry company, even if it is a company with a big loss of vitality, it is a good choice.Owns California Union Oil.It is equivalent to officially entering the oil industry, officially entering the most basic industry in the world, energy!
Come to think of it.Abel smiled."
These things should be considered in the long run, and I will hold a drinking party in the evening......
This is my first time hosting a party, so let's go to the reception and have a chance to talk. ”He smiled at the Chevron executives and said, "You don't have to wait too long."
It's okay to go in the evening, so there should be no problem, guys?
”David Adams immediately said, "Of course!
Anthony Smith hesitated.After glancing at the people behind him, he nodded and whispered, "Okay." ”"So......"
"Rest for a while......
I'll ask Shelton to arrange a room for you......" and he gestured to David Adams with a glance.
