519 [Pick-up Man]

"Haha, are you just waiting for this call?" Kimura Nakao pointed at Song Zhichao, his face full of mockery, "I really don't know what you're thinking!

Song Zhichao shrugged: "Maybe...... You really can!"

"Hahaha!" Kimura smiled.

Steve smiled.

Tanaka-kun and the others also laughed.

In their opinion, Song Zhichao is simply a fool who opens his eyes and talks nonsense.

"Okay, okay, just answer your call, I'll see how you turn over." But let me tell you first, we at Sony have already said hello to many Hollywood studios and music companies, and no one is going to provide you with resources for this, yes, no one! Do you know why? Because they are our friends and have a good relationship with us!" Nakao Kimura sneered, Of course, you can also pay sky-high prices to buy their movie and music rights, and then fill them into VCD discs, but then your costs will be greatly increased--- and even the money you make from selling VCDs may have to be lost!"

Kimura Nakao felt that he had grasped Song Zhichao's weakness, and the head of the analysis was Dao.

Steve added fuel to the side: "Yes, dear Mr. Kimura is right, Hollywood has a lot of film and music copyrights, but those don't belong to you! Do you know why? Because you are Chinese, the one we don't trust the most here is Chinese!"

Song Zhichao's face was calm, not irritated by them at all, he picked up the phone and listened to a few words, then looked up and said to Steve: "You are the CEO of Sony Entertainment?"

Steve didn't understand why Song Zhichao was asking this, and raised his head arrogantly: "Yes!"

"Oh, then please answer the call. Song Zhichao smiled and handed over the big brother in his hand.

Steve: "......"

Nakao Kimura next to him was also suspicious, not understanding what Song Zhichao was doing.

"Why, don't you dare?" Song Zhichao took the phone and pestled Steve.

Steve: "......" took the call.

"Hey, I'm Steve, who are you?" Steve said in a loud, horizontal voice.

And then---

His face changed.

Stunned, surprised, and incredulous--- various expressions appeared on his face in turn.

Finally, form an expression --- "Hell yes!"

"Oh, what the hell!" Steve dropped the phone and looked at Song Zhichao in surprise.

"What's going on, Steve?" Nakao Kimura hurriedly asked when he saw that Steve's expression was wrong.

Steve didn't hear it, but he still looked like he was hell, and he was in place.

"Hey Steve, what the hell is going on?" Nakao Kimura couldn't hold back any longer, reaching out and shaking Steve's shoulder.

Steve woke up suddenly, his dull eyes moved, and then handed the phone to Kimura and said, "Here you go--- you can just listen to it." ”

Nakao Kimura: "......"

Tanaka-kun, Honda-kun and others next to him were also inexplicable, and said in their hearts, could it be that this ghost guy is evil?

Nakao Kimura couldn't care much, so he hurriedly answered the phone, and then said into the phone: "I'm Nakao Kimura, may I ask ......?"

Then, Nakao Kimura's expression also changed.

I became surprised.

To be precise, his eyes were like huskies holding --- phone, his mouth wide open, and his eyes wide open.

A group of Japanese people such as Tanaka-kun next to him were all inexplicable, and there was a weird feeling.

The Hollywood stars on the sidelines looked confused, wondering what had happened to these Japanese.

Mike looks at Madonna, Madonna looks at Beyoncé.

Marlon Brando shrugged unguessedly.

The others, Peterson, Bata and others, were even more inexplicable, not knowing what had happened to the Japanese.

"Hey, Lao Bi, you are the smartest, what did Brother Chao do? How did you make these little Japanese nervous with a phone call?" Qi Wanda touched Bi Wenfeng and couldn't help asking.

Bi Wenfeng shook his head: "You and I can't guess the boss's methods--- I'm afraid those Japanese can't guess either." ”

Yes, at this moment, Kimura Nakao really didn't guess that this call turned out to be from his immediate boss --- "King of Sony" Akio Morita.

On the phone, Akio Morita explained one thing to him very briefly and neatly, that is--- he had promised Song Zhichao that he was going to sell Sony Entertainment to Song Zhichao's Phantom Entertainment Company for $5 billion!

This news was definitely a "bolt from the blue" for Kimura and Steve.

When did Song Zhichao hook up with his boss Akio Morita?

When did they come into contact? How could they suddenly become business partners when they were enemies themselves?

It's not that they don't understand, it's that the change came too quickly.

Looking at Kimura and the others who were still surprised, Song Zhichao had to smile at Mike, Madonna, Marlon Brando and others who were curious, and announced: "I'm sorry, I just got the news--- I acquired Sony Entertainment!"

With a bang, many Hollywood superstars at the scene all exploded.

......

In fact, since Song Zhichao started the war with Sony, Song Zhichao has been studying the "King of Sony" Akio Morita to enter Hollywood, taking the high-end route of matching audio and video resources with electronic products.

On the face of it, this line is very correct.

Sony's electronics, such as the Walkman and VCR, are very good and sell very well all over the world.

Nowadays, the sales of video tapes and music cassettes are also very hot, with strong profit margins.

Originally, Akio Morita's plan was to buy Hollywood's Columbia for $6 billion, and then form Sony Entertainment, including Sony Music and Sony Movies.

Under Sony's control, while making movies to make money, Sony's film and music rights were converted into videotapes and music cassettes, which were sold with Sony's Walkman and video recorders. In this way, the overall profit can be maximized.

Originally, the plan was perfect and great.

But Akio Morita ignored a question--- why did Colombia agree to be acquired by their Sony?

You know, Americans are very proud, especially as one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, Colombia is also a very glorious symbol, symbolizing the pride and glory of the United States--- how can such a symbol be included in the pocket of the Japanese?

There is actually only one reason, and that is: losing money!

Don't think that you can make money making movies in Hollywood--- on the contrary, it is precisely because Hollywood movies are so competitive that many companies are making money and losing money, and Colombia has broken this spell because he has been losing money all the time.

Before Sony acquired Colombia, the company was actually $1.6 billion in debt. For a listed film and entertainment company, Columbia's investment failure for three consecutive years--- especially the failure of investment in most films, made them no longer able to bear the reprimand of shareholders, just at this time Sony appeared, in the form of a public acquisition of shares, with 3.4 billion US dollars to directly merge Colombia, plus the 1.6 billion US dollars of debt borne by Colombia, in fact, Sony spent 5 billion US dollars in order to control Colombia--- of course, in order to demonstrate the strong strength of Sony, Sony announced that it spent 6 billion US dollars to acquire Sony。

At the time of the acquisition, all of Sony, including the king of Sony, Akio Morita, were excited, and the entire country of Japan was extremely excited--- after all, Colombia represented the pride of the United States, but now, they Japanese have actually bought the pride of the Yankees.

The Americans mourned as if they were mourning, and the whole country mourned in silence.

But soon, Akio Morita couldn't get excited.

Because he found that Colombia was simply a black hole that swallowed money.

Not to mention not making money, from eight or nine years to now, it has been in huge losses every year for three years!

So much so that the money that Sony earned in other ways had to be moved over to fill this black hole. According to statistics, in three years, Sony paid $1.3 billion in advance in order to smooth out Colombia's losses and debts.

In other words, after Sony acquired Colombia, not only did it not make money, but it also lost 1.3 billion!

Akio Morita has a big head.

At this moment, how desperate he is for God to throw him a "pick-up man"!

At this time, Song Zhichao appeared!
