Yang Jie paused for a few seconds and said, "There is another thing, I want to take advantage of the California power crisis to buy Southern California Edison Power." ”

Adam Cohen was stunned, then shook his head and said: "The California power crisis is someone deliberately controlling the price of electricity behind the scenes, I think this crisis will last for a long time, and now is not a good time to participate." ”

"It's better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, and this time I'm preparing for Prager Energy to launch a large number of fuel cell products in California in a short period of time. ”

This year, Yang Jie acquired the 97-year-old Delaware Prager Energy Company, a comprehensive fuel cell system supplier that designs, develops, manufactures and trades and sales, and follows the route of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, which is similar to Huaxing Group in fuel cell technology.

The company is now mainly selling small fuel power plants to companies, and is also starting to design and produce fuel cell forklifts.

The company can now sell nearly 100 small fuel power stations every year, but the company's product cost is too high, although the revenue has been growing, but due to the high cost, the company's gross profit margin has been negative in the past five years, and the net profit has been in a state of loss.

Yang Jie also acquired the company this year and became a subsidiary of Huaxing Fuel Cell Power in the United States.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not advise you. Adam Cohen said.

A few days later, in a large office in the Times Warner branch building in Burbank, Calif., Mr. Yang and Mr. Natasha were talking to Barry Meyer.

"Mr. Yang, Miss Natasha, the movie "Shocking Nuclear Network" produced by your Xinyi Film Company has been the box office champion for two weeks, and has recovered the cost of 68 million US dollars, and the total box office is estimated to be 180 million, and now "Ghost Shadow 2" has entered the post-production stage, with the reputation accumulated in the previous part, presumably the box office results will not be too bad, and now the preparations for the two films are still being prepared, and the momentum is really strong. Barry Meyer said.

Warner Bros. lost money on several films in the first half of this year, and his luck has not been very good in the past few years.

"Mr. Barry Meyer, we are preparing to shoot Harry Potter, and we welcome Time Warner to participate. ”

"We at Time Warner have been very interested in JK Rowling's copyright, which is a big gold mine, but you took it first, I have to say that you have a very vicious eye, and you are very good at creating content themes. ”

Barry Meyer looked at Yang Jie with a sigh and said: "Compared with your film career, but you are also very successful in game production, you have made seven games in the past few years, all of which are very successful, especially the "Grand Theft Auto" released at the end of previous years, and the game "Evening of the Gods" is also very successful, and the return on investment is much higher than that of the movie. ”

"Haha, it's all thanks to the talent of the teams in several companies and the intention to look at the work. Yang Jie said with a smile.

In recent years, several game companies under Huaxing Group Company have launched a total of seven game works, adding up to more than 2 billion US dollars, and the investment in funds is almost more than 300 million US dollars, which is indeed a lot of money.

Now R Star and Red Storm Game Company have become a well-known game company in the United States, with a large number of fans all over the world, and Qianyou Game Company has also opened up its reputation overseas.

"This guy has a very poisonous eye, and several game companies he has acquired are doing very well, which is much better than making movies. Natasha glanced at Yang Jie and said.

Barry Meyer smiled, "Mr. Yang is a genius in terms of skills and trade vision, and he can see the grand trade value of some skills at a glance, and he can immediately promote products or trade models, which I admire very much." I heard that your company is building a platform that combines console and PC gaming?"

"Yes, we have made certain progress in the research and development of virtual private network skills in the game console research and development part of the game console in the United States, which has solved the network delay and game lag to a large extent, and can already provide a good game experience for PC and game console users. ”

In recent years, Yang Jie has also asked the U.S. branch to convene a group of Internet technology experts to develop virtual private network skills, which contain two key skills: tunnel skills and encryption skills, as well as a QoS technique.

This virtual network professional network technique is a technique that emerged after 07 years, Yang Jie entered the game console market after the research and development of this skill in advance, and convened a group of Internet experts in the United States, and put forward this trick plan.

Because of Yang Jie's technical plan, these R&D staff have very clear goals, so the R&D progress is also very fast.

At present, the Internet in the United States widely uses cablemodem, DSL, ADSL, and techniques, among which cablemodem, which is used in cable television networks, accounts for 44 percent of the broadband network market share, and cable television companies account for the majority of broadband construction, while the network transmission speed provided by general telephone companies is actually less than one trillion.

In order to understand the problem of different network speeds between different telecom operators, Yang Jie has been tinkering with the development of virtual private network skills to solve this problem early on.

Now Huaxing Group Company is also developing game consoles with Internet connections, and Yang Jie also wants to move the console game platform to the Internet as soon as possible, and gradually replace the game disc market.

"Mr. Yang, we have the second largest cable TV company in the United States under Time Warner, with more than 20 million users, and the cable network transmission rate is very high, I think we can cooperate and give priority to building this game platform on our existing cable network. ”

Barry Meyer said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Mr. Barry Meyer, AOL acquired Time Warner this year, will your company's senior management approve your proposal?" Yang Jie asked.

"AOL is AOL, but we at Time Warner don't have to listen to them for everything. Barry Meyer said with some disdain: "In previous years, the US online revenue was only $4.8 billion, the profit was $762 million, but the market value was as high as $160 billion, which is twice that of IBM, which is very abnormal in itself." ”

Think about it, Time Warner's market value is also as high as hundreds of billions, but it has at least some physical industries including cable news network, Warner Music, "Time" magazine, "People" magazine and Warner Bros. Pictures, and its revenue has reached more than 30 billion US dollars.

And AOL is purely touted by the Internet economy, like a balloon that can be popped at the first poke.

Yang Jie also heard that the top management of the two group companies fought fiercely after the merger, and most of the company's top executives at the time of AOL's merger with Time Warner have left the company. Turner, who founded CNN, became vice chairman of the company in 1996 after selling the network to Time Warner, and became vice chairman of the new company after the merger of Time Warner and AOL.

Warner Times had a lot of infighting within the company before the merger with AOL, Turner was a scrappy and very conceited old man, and now after the merger of the two group companies, he wants to meddle in the internal affairs of AOL, and these AOL veterans are not vegetarians, and they also joined forces to squeeze out and isolate him, which is really a political drama.

As the chief executive officer of Time Warner, Barry Meyer is still responsible for the work of Time Warner's branch, at least in Time Warner's own land, his words still work.

In Yang Jie's memory, with the disillusionment of the Internet economy next year, the market value of AOL has shrunk seriously, and 02 years have caused a loss of hundreds of billions of US dollars, setting a record for the loss of American companies.

However, these things have little to do with Yang Jie, and he also wants to take advantage of the disillusionment of the Internet economy in the United States to wait for the opportunity to buy some software companies and technical staff of some companies that he needs.

Over the past year, the U.S. branch of Huaxing Group Company has acquired several digital simulation software companies, one is a company on the research and development of digital circuit simulation software, one is a digital factory simulation software company, and the other is a digital modeling and simulation software company.

The United States is indeed at the forefront of the world in digital modeling and simulation software, and many companies are applying this software, and there are many software companies developing this aspect.

In addition, Yang Jie also asked R-Star Company to convene people to set up a game special effect studio, which is also to serve several of his game companies, and Xinyi Film Company also set up a special effect studio to do special effects for his company's film and television post-production.

In addition to serving the company's own business, Yang Jie did not have any major investment projects in the United States.
