With this prerequisite, this thing will not be too difficult to operate. In addition, Zheng Yan felt that this was a profitable thing, and it didn't hurt to give it a try.

"Mr. Morita, I understand what you mean, I can also treat the events of the other day as if they didn't happen. But you see, there doesn't seem to be any area of cooperation between us, and that's a fact that can't be changed. ”

Speaking of records, Zheng Yan can help, but Zheng Yan understands better that no matter how far Ichiro Morita develops Sony Music Entertainment, it will not have much impact on Sony, and it will not change his status at Sony.

"I know not yet, but as long as Mr. Zheng is willing, I believe we will find areas where we can work together. ”

Seeing Zheng Yan loosen his mouth, Eiichiro Morita also became more confident, and continued: "As far as I know, Mr. Zheng is the founder of Longteng Entertainment, and the reason why Longteng Entertainment has developed to such a scale today is that the script created by Mr. Zheng is the key. ”

"Mr. Zheng also knows that Sony bought Columbia Pictures a few years ago, and although I don't want to admit it, let alone judge my father, so far, that acquisition plan has been a very failure. ”

"Even now, Columbia Pictures is still in a loss-making state, and at Sony, Columbia Pictures is a quagmire, a quagmire that no one wants to touch. If Mr. Cheng is willing to work with me, I can find a way to take over Columbia Pictures. ”

"On top of that, Mr. Cheng's ability in the field of game development is also amazing, as long as I bring Columbia Pictures back to life, I can get more power at Sony, and we can have more cooperation in the game field. ”

Before Longteng entered the United States, Iichiro Morita would certainly not make such a decision. No matter how successful the Harbor City film was, it was never recognized by the Western world, which was not in line with Columbia Pictures' development plan.

But now it's different, starting from "Schindler's List", to the later "Truman's World", and even including "Jurassic Park", all of them are fame and fortune, and the whole Hollywood has to admit Zheng Yan's ability in script writing.

If it was just a cooperation with a film company, Zheng Yan was not interested, because Zheng Yan knew that as long as it was the script he prepared, there would be no possibility of loss, and he already had Spielberg as a partner, Columbia Pictures would be the icing on the cake at most.

However, the cooperation of game companies made Zheng Yan a little moved. At present, Blizzard has been taken into the bag by Zheng Yan, and Sony Games is one of the world's three major game companies, with Sony's help, it will undoubtedly make Blizzard take many detours.

"Mr. Morita, with all due respect, this kind of cooperation may turn Columbia Pictures into a profit and get you the status you want, but what can I get?"

"To put it bluntly, I can guarantee that as long as I provide the script, or the game I develop, it will be profitable. And I have enough money to operate, so why should I cooperate with you?"

The problem that Zheng Yan said is what Iichiro Morita is most worried about, although Zheng Yan's words are very arrogant, but I have to admit that so far, Zheng Yan has never failed, whether it is games, movies, or other investments.

"Mr. Zheng, my current power is limited, so I can't come up with anything that interests you, but I can guarantee that as long as I get enough power at Sony, I will definitely start an all-round cooperation with Mr. Zheng, and even find a way to make you one of Sony's shareholders. ”

Eiichiro Morita has already regarded Zheng Yan as his last chance, so he is a little desperate.

When he heard the conditions, Zheng Yan was indeed tempted for a moment. Bill Gates once said that any company could go out of business tomorrow, including their Microsoft. However, Japanese companies such as Sony, Mitsubishi, and Mitsui are a special group of existences, and it is basically impossible for the Japanese government to let them go out of business.

However, Zheng Yan quickly dispelled this idea. Even if he takes a stake in Sony, he only buys it at a parity or even a premium, which is inconsistent with Zheng Yan's consistent style, and it is better to invest in some Internet companies than to invest in Sony.

"Mr. Morita, I'll talk about that later. You can find a way to become the president of Columbia Pictures first, and as long as you do that, I will arrange the cooperation. ”

Since entering the room, Eiichiro Morita has been very calm, and hearing Zheng Yan's promise, Ichiro Morita's mood finally fluctuated.

"Really, I hope we have a good time working together. In addition, I know that Mr. Zheng has always been keen on investing in the Internet industry, and I have a 5% stake in Apple here, which can be given to Mr. Zheng as an expression of my apologies for what happened before. ”

The shares of Apple that Iichiro Morita took out did not belong to the Sony Group, but were invested by the Morita family themselves when the Japanese bought American companies in large numbers.

In fact, since Steve Jobs left Apple, Apple has been in a state of loss most of the time, and its market share has shrunk again and again, from 20 percent to about 5 percent.

Coupled with the repeated failures of Apple's products in the past few years, Apple has frequently changed its "commanders", and the value of these shares is no longer high, and it is just right to take out the favors.

And Zheng Yan has long been prepared, no longer entangled in the gains and losses in front of him, who thinks about it, he immediately saw the return money, and it is a large amount of return money.

"Mr. Morita, it seems that you have indeed done a lot of work for this meeting. However, you don't have to give it to me, if you really want to apologize, you can sell it to me. ”

At the moment, Apple's shares are not worth much, but Zheng Yan knows his potential and does not want to owe Ichiro Morita a favor. Iichiro Morita's goal has been achieved, and taking out the shares is just to consolidate the relationship, so he did not insist.

After leaving the banquet venue, Zheng Yan began to think again, plus the shares he won from Barty Morris, and now Zheng Yan controls nearly 10% of Apple's shares, and Zheng Yan is even considering whether to think of a way to let Jobs return in advance.

However, Zheng Yan also understands that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and Apple's success is largely due to the software developed by NEXT Computer Company, and it is not clear to Zheng Yan what extent that software has reached.
