Chapter 172: Completion of the Acquisition
"So, I want to know, Mr. Li, what is your interest?" Morita Akio's sharp eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing Li Fangcheng's eyes.
"My interests?" Li Fangcheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "President Morita, isn't this obvious enough? I need to use Sony's strength, and Sony also needs us, win-win, it's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that?" asked Akio Morita nondeniably.
"That's right. ”
Although he received Li Fangcheng's affirmative answer, he didn't know why, Akio Morita still felt that things were not so simple.
The young man in front of him, what he was plotting, his intuition told him that it must be more than that!
But I really can't think of anything else for a while!
"Now I'm just waiting for the report to come up, pre-sale tickets, I have to say, this idea is quite amazing!" said Akio Morita with appreciation.
“…… Not bad. The corners of Li Fangcheng's mouth twitched a little in response.
Isn't that amazing?
This is just a pre-sale, and when online seat selection and online payment appear, this simple pre-sale is simply commonplace.
Not to mention that hunger marketing has not yet been figured out.
Thinking of this, Li Fangcheng suddenly had an idea, and a new idea appeared in his heart......
"President, the report from Columbia is out......" A polite man walked through the door and said in a gentle voice.
"Very good, how many of the first batch of pre-sale places will be sold?" asked Akio Morita without joy or sorrow.
"A million copies. There was no extra nonsense, the man said very bluntly.
"A million?!" Akio Morita breathed heavily.
Li Fangcheng grinned lightly.
"I see. Akio Morita waved his hand, and the man consciously retreated.
Li Fangcheng picked up the water in front of him and took a sip slowly.
Akio Morita glanced at Li Fangcheng with squinted eyes, only to see Li Fangcheng, who was calm and calm, and did not show any emotion at all, and immediately sank in his heart, it was really a little fox!!
"Shouldn't Mr. Li be happy?" Akio Morita put away the shock just now and asked calmly.
"Happy, of course, it's not necessary, it's just a fact that I already knew. Li Fangcheng replied without leaking.
……
Akio Morita almost didn't choke on the water!
"What's next?" said Akio Morita as he adjusted his breathing.
"Now that the first batch of 1 million advance tickets are sold out, then for the next step, for the stay of Colombia, I personally recommend that it be cut off, otherwise...... If we work with Colombia on these two films, then, in two months, ......," Li Fangcheng put down his glass.
He said softly, "In two months, it will become a luxury to buy Colombia again." ”
"It seems that Mr. Li is very confident. Akio Morita said lightly.
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that I'm confident in consumers. Li Fangcheng smiled and said: "One million pre-sale tickets, sold out in one day, is there more convincing confidence than this?"
"Young and promising. Akio Morita looked at Li Fangcheng with appreciation.
"Praise it. Li Fangcheng smiled.
"Well, now that we've reached this volume, we can sign a contract. Akio Morita signed his name on a document that had been drawn up long ago.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Li Fangcheng took the document and signed his name.
After a few strokes, I signed it cleanly.
"Mr. Li, let me ask you one last time, what is your estimated box office?" Akio Morita couldn't help but ask when he saw that Li Fangcheng had already picked up his file bag and was about to leave.
"What's the box office...... I don't know about that...... It depends on the ...... of consumers" Just when Akio Morita was a little lost, he heard Li Fangcheng say: "However, it is no problem to create a movie box office record......
"Japan's box office record?"
"No, Hollywood's box office record!"
"Which one can do it?"
"Two. ”
……
Li Fangcheng left, leaving Akio Morita alone to ponder......
Box office records......
Two ......
His intellect told him it was ridiculous, but for some reason, his intuition told him that it was worth a try!
has a strong sense of business, which is one of the key factors for Akio Morita to lead Sony to a strong country step by step.
It's just that in the past, there were some signs that gave him an accurate direction.
But such a company that suddenly appeared had super production capabilities and made a lot of money, which had to make Akio Morita think twice.
Yes, Sony needs a work that can make a name for itself, but the acquisition of Colombia here has only just begun, and two well-made movies that have deeply moved him have been sent to the door!
It's like pie in the sky, drowsy and pillow!
Although, in exchange, Sony will go all out to promote the release of both films, and no fees will be charged.
But compared to the two films, the acquisition of Colombia is obviously more important!
It's just that......
Li Fangcheng is also too dedicated to Sony!!
If you don't know, you will even think that Li Fangcheng is a person from Sony!
Driven by profit, Akio Morita believes this.
But what are the interests that drive Li Fangcheng to give the right to the title distribution of the host and the right to distribute the film.
It's like sending the money to Sony, and asking, "I'll give you money, do you want it?"
And at this moment, after Li Fangcheng left, he almost laughed out loud!
After all, Akio Morita is not a person in the game industry, and what he doesn't know at all is how cruel the console battlefield is!
Don't look at the Miracle Age, which has given up a lot of fame, but it's all a bit of a false name!
Is there really any core technology to pay for??
Empty gloves white wolf!
This is the core of Li Fangcheng's plan this time.
Of course, such a plan cannot be used all the time.
Only when Sony wants to enter the film industry and wants to enter the game industry can it be possible to drive the giant to help him promote it in the channel for free.
Otherwise, other times, want to cooperate?
Yes, money!
We are giants, not second- or third-rate companies! Don't look for us if you have a little money!
Usually if you want to cooperate with such a giant, you have to be stripped of a layer of skin, even if you really peel off a layer of skin, it depends on whether the giants are happy or not, and whether they have time to take care of it.
It's like why so many game studios have partnered with Daddy Penguin in later generations.
People have hundreds of millions of daily active users in their hands, and if they promote any chat software, the number of downloads will rise!
The number of downloads is there, and you're still afraid of people who haven't spent money?
And for Daddy Penguin, what did it take?
It's just a push of a message.
But it's just such an action, if you don't have enough benefits, you want to take it down with 1.8 million alone? Dream on you!
The so-called giants have such confidence and strength!
is an upright conspiracy, but Akio Morita can't extricate himself from stepping into it.
After all, this is also a great opportunity for Sony, isn't it?
Two days later, at a thunderous speed, all the media hung up a message.
"Japan's Sony Buys Colombia for $3.8 Billion and Takes on Its $1.4 Billion Debt"
"Sony's Strong Acquisition of Columbia, Japanese Companies Strike Again"
"Is it a conspiracy or an enclosure: Looking at Sony's total $5.2 billion acquisition"
"The Storm Hits, the Giant Behind the $5.2 Billion Thing"
……
All of a sudden, Sony's brazen shot again shocked the world's major giants!
How long has it been?
A giant that fell again after CBS!
Sony, the name for a while, is famous all over the world!
At this moment, as the president of Sony, Akio Morita inevitably has to come forward to be interviewed by the media.
"President Morita, what is the reason for your acquisition of Columbia?"
"Well, of course, it's because I love the film industry, and it's my dream to be filmy, and I've loved it since I was a child, and I'll continue to be passionate about it in the future. ”
"Some people say that this is a sign that Sony is going to annex the monopoly industry of the United States, how do you explain it?"
"Of course, it is very ridiculous rhetoric, after we acquired Columbia, the structure of the whole company has not even changed significantly, the employees inside are still Chinese, we will not interfere in the daily work, saying that we want to monopolize, it is completely slanderous. ”
"Then may I ask President Morita, what are your plans next?"
"Next, Columbia will introduce more films and carry out deeper cooperation with powerful directors, such as the two films we have recently introduced, which will be released next month, which will open a new situation in the film industry!"
Wow!!!
As soon as he took over the hand, there was a move, and in an instant, a group of reporters were like ants staring at honey, and they were even more swarming!
"Can you tell me what movie gave Sony so much confidence?"
"May I ask the president, what are you talking about the name of the movie?"
"As soon as it came up, it was the introduction of two-step films, which two directors' masterpieces were they?"
"President Morita......"
“……”
Countless questions swirled in everyone's minds.
Akio Morita, escorted by assistants and security guards, went to the car that had been prepared a long time ago.
The reporters persistently asked, and even he felt powerless.
It is impossible to answer all the questions, after all, the appetite of a journalist cannot be filled with even a mountain!
It wasn't until he got into the car that Akio Morita suddenly stopped, pointed to the screen of a shopping mall opposite, and said: "The two movies promoted above are the two movies we introduced, one is called "The Legend of the Great Sage: Havoc in Heaven", and the other is called "Titanic", both of which are based on the recent hot, comic book adaptation of the movie, if you are interested, you can go to find out, and today's press conference ends here." ”
After finishing speaking, before the reporter could react, he hurriedly stepped into the car and left with palpitations.
At press conferences, when encountering crazy reporters, even the richest and most powerful people are difficult to withstand.
I can't hit it, I can't scold it, I have a headache!!
