10% of MGM

After reaching a tacit understanding with Leiter, Leiter stepped in to help Kevin contact the current MGM boss behind the scenes.

The news is, let Kevin go to Las Vegas to meet the real boss behind MGM.

Kevin readily agreed, brought his own bodyguards, and went to Las Vegas with Reiter.

...

Las Vegas, amidst a splendidly decorated casino.

Kirk Kerkorian, a casino tycoon, heard Reiter, the president of the industry he was least optimistic about, came to him with a director, and couldn't help being a little interested.

As a person who focuses on the gambling industry, buying MGM is completely out of a layman's idea, and now, I have to say, he regrets it.

MGM is definitely a money-losing deal for him.

Fortunately, thanks to the development of IP, MGM can barely be self-sufficient, but it is impossible for him to benefit from it.

However, this year, Leiter seems to have come up with something to make MGM's financial report look a little better.

This made Kirk Kercorion feel a little better.

..

After a half-day flight, Kirk Kerkorian's men picked them up when they got off the car. The three of them sat in the car and headed for the legendary casino.

Kevin also looked at the Quartet curiously.

The roadside, as far as the eye can see, is generally the same as the most prosperous downtown area in New York.

All kinds of luxury goods, high-end restaurants, gold jewelry and other high-consumption stores are placed on both sides.

Obviously, it is aimed at the gamblers who have won the bet, the kind of energy that is not money.

It's these bigots who are in the hole.

Kevin did not have these high-end consumption habits, and the poor often appear to be upstarts when they become rich, but Kevin has maintained his original mentality very well.

Although he occasionally spends money to eat good food, he does not spend money on these luxuries.

After all, he is a director and doesn't need to package himself like a star.

All people want to see is his work.

There is no need to spend the money.

After half an hour's drive, the three of them came to a huge and splendid building.

The driver walked to the door and said a few words to a few gatekeepers. Then he returned and led the three of them into the office area of ​​the Las Vegas City through the small door.

After several complicated roads and many guards, several people entered the core area of ​​the casino.

After the two bodyguards checked that they were not carrying any metal weapons, they were allowed to enter Kirk Kerkorian's room together.

As a gambling tycoon, he was hated by countless people. On weekdays, he was very careful about his own safety.

In this area of ​​Las Vegas, with such a complicated procedure, the safety of oneself is protected to the greatest extent.

After entering the room, Kevin looked at the decoration of the room. It was a 100-square-meter office area with sofas and other office supplies in the middle.

A middle-aged and sturdy man in his 40s or 50s, a man in a suit and leather shoes with a bit of a godfather vibe, sat on the sofa in the middle and motioned the three to sit down.

Following his invitation, several people took their seats.

Kirk Kerkorian then spoke:

"Is it what you said, can you lead MGM to restore glory?"

MGM means nothing to Kirk Kerkorian. He bought MGM, but he actually paid more for his feelings, but when feelings became a burden, Kirk Kerkore Well, MGM doesn't take that seriously anymore.

He was looking for an opportunity to take MGM.

And Kevin is the one who made the MGM in his hand sell for a better price.

Facing a worthy man, Kirk Kerkorian put away his face as a gangster and dealt with a few people with a serious businessman face.

In the face of Kirk Kerkorian, who looked like a gang leader, Kevin was not afraid at all.

Things in the world move for profit.

When he can bring benefits to others, even the gangsters will not attack him.

Kevin responded calmly and plainly:

"Yes, it's me."

"Steve Kevin."

Reiter interjected:

"He is the most famous new director in Hollywood recently. Three consecutive films have grossed over 100 million at the global box office. The latest Mission: Impossible is expected to reach a global box office of 600 to 700 million."

"We at MGM have a 30 percent investment share."

Kirk Kercorion looked at Kevin with a somewhat surprised look.

This kind of huge profit is almost comparable to the income of his casino.

Kevin has topped a casino all by himself. This is talent among talents.

After thinking for a while, Kirk Kercorion said with a scrutiny:

"How did you bring MGM to glory, tell me about your plan, and if you can convince me, MGM's 5% stake, I agreed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin suddenly said:

"I want 10% of the shares."

People are not greedy and unstable. After meeting Kirk Kerkorian, after a series of thoughts, Kevin directly doubled his original goal.

Hearing Kevin's words, Kirk Kercorion was not angry, he lit a cigar, took a sip, and then said leisurely:

"Young people, if they are too greedy, they will only seek their own death."

"Of course, just because you dare to stand in front of me, the lion opens his mouth, and I will give you a chance to convince me."

"What can you bring to MGM?"

With a smile on his face, Kevin began to speak:

"Do you know the biggest reason for MGM's decline so far?"

Kirk Kercorion did not speak, but motioned Leiter to talk to him with his eyes.

Leiter on the side hurriedly said:

"There is a lack of movies with huge profits, and subsequent distribution power."

"As we all know, publishing is more profitable than a movie. The box office of a movie is only 30% to 40% of his profit."

"And our current distribution power at MGM is far from realizing the true potential of the movies in our library."

Kevin chimed in:

"The most important thing is that we are missing a capital injection from a media giant."

"Without the support of the media giants, MGM will never be the top five in Hollywood!"

"In addition to my shares, I also propose to sell a certain amount of shares to Warner Bros. to gain the support of Time Warner behind them."

"In this way, I am confident that in ten years, MGM's stock price will rise at least five to ten times."

Kevin's words will clearly arrange the future of MGM.

Using his directing ability as a link, he introduced the capital of Time Warner behind Warner Bros., so that MGM was reborn.

The success of all this depends on whether Kirk Kerkorian is willing to sell part of his shares to Kevin and Time Warner.
