Chapter 583: North America Plan (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)

It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing fast!

Linda looked at Johnson's affectionate appearance, she really didn't know what was wrong with the world, the problem between Wu Jianye and Johnson, it is estimated that Linda is the most aware in this world, and now seeing Johnson's appearance, Linda couldn't help but walk next to Johnson and touch his head with her hand.

"I don't have a fever!"

"Linda, what are you doing?" Johnson said dissatisfied, slapping Linda's hand away.

"What's going on?" Linda used her finger to swing back and forth between Wu Jianye and Johnson.

"Oh, you said this, I reconciled with the two of Wu, yesterday's incident was so interesting, I'll tell you......" Then Johnson danced and told Linda what happened at the party yesterday.

After listening to this, Linda still asked with some incomprehension: "Just because of what happened to Penny yesterday, you reconciled with Wu Jianye?"

Johnson nodded and said, "Of course, yesterday was really too relieving!"

This time, Linda supported her head, and she really couldn't understand how a man's brain circuit grew.

Wu Jianye said beside him: "Okay, you two should each bring people from your own company to the conference room to negotiate the acquisition." ”

After speaking, Wu Jianye pointed to the computer on Linda's desk and said, "Linda, I'll use the computer." ”

"Okay!" Linda nodded, and then took Johnson and the team Johnson brought with her to the conference room.

The negotiation between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas, although Wu Jianye and Old Johnson have already negotiated the general direction, but the details still need to be discussed by representatives of the two companies, so this is another reason why Wu Jianye did not wait for Johnson in the hotel, there are too many people, it is not interesting.

After the people on both sides left, Wu Jianye took out a floppy disk from his pocket and put it in the computer, and opened the WORD on the computer.

The floppy disk is actually the predecessor of the U disk, but the storage space is really a headache, only 1.44MB, not to mention the blockbuster, even if you can't save a million words.

This thing was first developed by IBM as a read-only 8-inch floppy disk with only 79.5KB of memory, and in 1972 Alan Shugart helped Memorex launch the first read-write floppy disk, the Memorex 650, which increased the memory to 175KB.

In 1976, the 5.25-inch floppy disk was introduced, and until 1980, the 3.5-inch floppy disk (1.44MB) was developed and became the market standard.

For nearly three decades, from 1971 until the 90s of the 20th century, floppy disks were used to store and exchange data.

Now Tunan Technology has begun to study the technology of USB interface and flash drive (U disk) in the Tunan Lab of MIT, in fact, M-Systems will launch the first flash drive this year, but at this time there is no USB interface, everything is nonsense.

For the U disk thing, Wu Jianye just knew that the patent was very complicated, but later the domestic Langke was the first to invent the USB flash drive, even if the Langke later did not operate well, but it was still able to rely on the patent of the U disk to make tens of millions of dollars a year.

Wu Jianye just told Zhou Tao about the concept of this thing, and he relayed it to Tu Nan Laboratory, as for the other Wu Jianye, he didn't pay too much attention, but he knew that the professor of Tu Nan Laboratory at MIT was very excited after getting Wu Jianye's suggestion, and at the same time said that the scientific and technological content of this thing does not seem to be very high, and it is estimated that it will not take a few years to study it, which is still because it has to cooperate with the development of computer technology.

When Wu Jianye heard Zhou Tao tell him those professional terms later, he became impatient.

Don't look at the sales of Tunan computers in Asia are very good, but in Europe and the United States and other countries, they are still a younger brother, and even Phantom Entertainment's own company uses Apple's office computers.

Looking at Apple computers, Wu Jianye thought of the situation on Apple's side, now that Jobs has been removed by Apple's board of directors for several years, and now Apple's development can be said to be at a low point, especially this year they will release a notebook Matosh Portable with less than satisfactory sales, which is almost disastrous for Apple's development.

If there is no Wu Jianye's appearance, the best computer in the notebook market this year should be the PowerBook released by Sony at the beginning of next year, but now Tunan Technology has also fully developed laptops, and Tunan Technology's laptops will be launched in November this year, named PerfectBook, the Chinese name Perfect Notebook!

And PerfectBook is the most important fist product of Tunan Technology for Europe and the United States.

Wu saw that the night was crackling and typing on the computer, and it was not until near noon that Linda and Johnson came back, the general direction had been determined, and there were not too many details to deduct, so it took a morning for Phantom Entertainment to reach an agreement with Oceanwide Cinemas and sign a contract, and Oceanwide Cinemas officially became the cinema company controlled by Phantom Entertainment.

At this time, Phantom Entertainment has truly become one of the seven major studios in Hollywood, alongside 21st Century Fox, Disney, Universal, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros., of course, if you talk about the background alone, Phantom Entertainment is still not good, even compared with the media group behind them.

But it doesn't matter, because Phantom Entertainment is already slowly catching up!

After Johnson walked in, he smiled and said, "After we talk about business, let's go out and celebrate!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "If you want to go, Linda and I still have something to talk about!"

The next thing Wu Jianye wants to talk about is an important part of the future development of Phantom Entertainment, but now that Johnson has become the director of Phantom Entertainment on behalf of the Johnson family, Wu Jianye will naturally not carry him behind his back.

"What's the matter?" Johnson asked curiously.

Wu didn't pay attention to him at night, and said to Linda, "I want to meet your mother!"

"My mother?" Linda was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Wu Jianye to want to see her mother, "Can you ask about something?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "With the development of the times, the media industry will definitely usher in rapid development, and we Phantom Entertainment can not only be satisfied with the production and distribution of such a single model, in the future, Phantom Entertainment will develop its own business horizontally with movies as the center, TV, toys, books, records and theme parks, these business lines with synergistic effects go hand in hand is the real development trend of Phantom Entertainment in the future!"

In just a few words, Linda and Johnson were shocked by Wu Jianye's ambition, and no one thought that Wu Jianye's ambition would be so big.

"You're going to be a media conglomerate!" Johnson looked at Wu Jianye with wide eyes.

"Can't you?" asked Wu Jianye.

"Yes....... Yes!" Johnson could feel his voice tremble.

"The acquisition of Lane Publishing Company is the second step of Phantom Entertainment to the media group, and the acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas is the first step!" Wu Jianye said: "I know that your mother is the majority shareholder of Lane Publishing Company, but now the development of Lane Company does not seem to be very good, and the shares of Lane Publishing Company are in the hands of your mother, and there is no way to play her biggest role, right?"

Ryan Publishing was really popular because of "Jurassic Park", but with the end of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, there are few best-selling works, which also causes the stock price of Ryan Publishing to fall again and again, if it were not for "Jurassic Park" that is still on sale, it is estimated that the stock price of Ryan Publishing will fall even more!

There's never been a better time to get your hands on Lane Publishing.

Linda quickly recalled the situation of Lane Publishing, and said: "The current market value of Lane Publishing is about 280 million US dollars, and my mother holds about 13.7% of the equity, with a total value of about 38 million, but it is only ......."

Wu Jianye looked at Linda's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother has always been very interested in Phantom Entertainment, and has asked me more than once if I want to take a stake in Phantom Entertainment, if you go to her at this time to negotiate the acquisition of her shares in Lane Publishing, she is likely to make a similar proposal as old Johnson!"

Wu Jianye thought about it for a while, and said: "In this way, your mother's side is up to you, if your mother can help us control Lane Publishing, then I can be like the Johnson family, and I can exchange 1% of the shares of Phantom Entertainment for 13.7% of the shares of Lane Publishing in your mother's hands!"

It seems that Wu Jianye's share price of 38 million this time is cheaper than the previous Johnson family's 50 million share price of Oceanwide Cinemas, but if Linda's mother can help Wu Jianye completely control Lane Publishing, then it will all be worth it.

After controlling Lane Publishing, Phantom Entertainment will privatize Lane Publishing just like Xiangjiang's Yaoguang Group treats its own subsidiary, and whether it is Linda, her mother or the Johnson family, they will have to come up with the corresponding funds, and it will be up to them whether they choose to dilute their shares or take the money.

Linda nodded and said, "I see, I'll go find my mother tonight!"

Now that Linda took over this matter, Wu Jianye was also happy, and after taking out the floppy disk from the computer, he said, "Is the information about the actors of "Ghost Love" ready?"

Linda nodded and said, "This is a part of the company's collection of age-appropriate actors and actresses, you can take a look at it first." ”

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "There are also the people behind the movie, let them gather tomorrow and have a meeting first!"

Linda asked, "And the producer of this movie?"

Johnson suddenly said, "Why don't you let me do it?"

Wu Jianye and Linda glanced at Johnson, and then Wu Jianye said: "You better forget it, Oceanwide Cinemas is preparing to expand, how can you have time to follow me in the crew now!"

Phantom Entertainment, which has just acquired Oceanwide Cinemas and is ready to officially start its own expansion, how can Wu Jianye let Johnson multitask!

However, Wu Jianye didn't care too much about the person who was looking for a producer, although Hollywood is now pursuing a producer policy, but this kind of rule doesn't work at all here in Wu Jianye, he only needs an obedient producer, and he can't use a too good producer at all.

Johnson nodded a little disappointed and said, "Okay then!"

But what Wu Jianye didn't know was that when Johnson returned to the apartment where he lived and just got out of the car, he saw Penny waiting here.

"What are you doing here?" Johnson asked.

"What did you do today?" asked Penny.

"Of course I'm going to Phantom Entertainment to sign a contract!" Johnson said casually.

Penny: "Is Wu too?"

"That's right!"

"And take me with you next time you go to Phantom Entertainment?" said Penny arrogantly.

Johnson was stunned: "What are you taking you for? I can tell you, now I am the representative of the Johnson family in Oceanwide Cinemas!"

Penny glanced at Johnson disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Oceanwide Cinema!"

Johnson was surprised and said, "Then you are right Wu?"

Penny snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in Wu either, but yesterday's incident won't end so easily!"

By the time they said this, the siblings had arrived at Johnson's apartment.

Johnson's apartment is a large flat of more than 300 square meters, the decoration is very modern, Penny sat on the sofa casually, and said: "I spent the night in retreat yesterday and composed a new tune, I want to prove that my art at the piano is higher than Wu Jianye!"

Johnson glanced at Penny pitifully and said, "I advise you to give up, I have learned Wu's genius!"

When he said this, Johnson recalled his tragic past, first in Yanjing, Wu Jianye took a night pot as the emperor's baby, and then liked it, but Wu Jianye wrote "Jurassic Park", and finally began to like rock music, but Wu Jianye released another "Born Out of the Sky", and finally ran to Xiangjiang and fell in love with Xiangjiang movies, and Wu Jianye was the screenwriter of Xiangjiang's blockbuster movie.......

Johnson is embarrassed to think of these.

"Hmph, that's you, it's no one to change your hobby once you hit it, there's no perseverance at all, the piano is my favorite, I must prove that I'm better than him in this regard!" Penny said unconvinced.

Johnson said: "Whatever you want, but I won't go to Phantom Entertainment during this time, and now Wu has transferred 50 million US dollars to the company's account, and I will go to Texas tomorrow to inspect the local theater!"

Penny said: "Then you tell me where Wu lives, and I'll go find him myself!"

.......

Penny was thinking about surpassing Wu Jianye in piano, but Wu Jianye didn't take her to heart at all, and after returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye saw Chen Kaige in Zhao Fei's room.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Kaige said with a smile: "You finally came to Los Angeles, and I didn't have time to accompany you during the day, so I came over at night to have a good chat with you!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Then you can talk to Zhao Fei, I'll go back to the room!"
