Zhou Shi's self-pity is actually too worried, and now there are so many people who look down on him, at most, they think that he doesn't talk deeply, or he doesn't have that relationship. Although Nortel's network patent did not make a big wave, it obviously will not be the case in the eyes of those who are interested, which has almost changed the existing pattern of the mobile communication equipment industry.

In the history of Zhou Shi, the Apple Alliance obtained a patent for the Nortel network, so that Apple's mobile phone was unimpeded around the world. Because Intel has obtained the patent of IDCC, it has become a supplier of Apple's iPhone mobile phones in the communication baseband industry. Zhou Shi started from the Nortel network, which lasted more than 2 years, buying countless high-level executives of Nortel, interrupting their idea of patent transactions with other large enterprises many times. To say that there is no illegal in it, Zhou Shi himself does not believe it. But now that things have been done, and a lot of the behavior has been dealt with cleanly in the subprime mortgage crisis. With the development of the smartphone industry, everyone has a better understanding of Zhou Shi's foresight. Apple has had a lot of patent disputes since this year because of patent issues. Even the IDCC has filed an infringement lawsuit against Apple. The outbreak of the Fruit Shell phone is not without reason, and the trouble of the opponent is its progress.

Zhou Shi didn't know what agreement Huatou finally reached with Tata, but they transferred three percent of the shares to Tata, and Guoke Nuts also reached some cooperation agreements with them, mainly to build factories in India, with the help of local snakes, there will be a lot less trouble. As a result, Tata's stake in Miramax reached 8 percent.

As a film company with a complete distribution network and rich library resources in North America, Miramax's strength is actually not much weaker than Lionsgate. It is said that with Zhou Shi's strength, it is not much difficulty to swallow it alone. However, film investment has always been a high-risk industry, and the demand for external funds has been increasing since the 21st century. An investment of tens of billions of dollars at every turn is not something that any film company can afford. Zhou Shi will not stupidly invest in big movies with his own money, even if he knows that the probability of success of these movies is very high. You must know that there are no necessarily successful films in the film and television industry, and neither are Marvel superheroes. The main factor is that the superstructure of Hollywood is no longer film production, but film distribution.

The reason why a company like DreamWorks, which has the support of a consortium like the Hollywood Big Three and Samsung Group, has not grown into a company like the Hollywood Big Six is not a lack of distribution network support. In addition to the box office, other copyright income is too small, for example, if you want to sell movies to TV stations, but most of these TV networks are controlled by the six major Hollywood countries, if they are targeted, who will buy DreamWorks movies? There is also a lack of publicity and promotion channels, to put it bluntly, someone smears him, and it is difficult for them to find a channel to refute it, of course, if they manage the network with their hearts, there are many fans, and there are also channels for voice.

I won't say much about the specific income distribution within Hollywood, anyway, distribution accounts for the majority, and it is almost a drought and flood to ensure income, and the box office is poor, and the box office is good, and it earns more. Of course, the distribution is also hierarchical, the top is the Hollywood Big Six, and the second is Lionsgate and Miramax. It is difficult for film and television companies to grow without sufficient funding sources, and Galaxy Capital can provide a part of this, and there will be more funding needs from investors in other parts of the world, including China and India.

Moreover, as long as the control of the company is in Zhou Shi's hands, he is not afraid of anything. Whether it is Huaying or Tata, their desires and requirements will change with the success and failure of the company, and there is no constant layer of collaborators. A little bit now is really nothing compared to a long time. Many pig's feet just don't give up every time, every benefit, but they don't know that when a person earns most of the profits in the market, he unconsciously brings himself to the fastest way to a dead end. For example, Apple, by 18 years, has almost reached the peak of development, and Qualcomm has also begun to decline from prosperity to decline since then. If Zhou Shi is just an industry, an enterprise, then forget it, you can do as well as you can. But with so many industries under his control, he is destined not to eat alone.

The cooperation with Tata has come to an end temporarily, Zhou Shi has returned to Time Holdings, although Zhang Yaqin has not arrived, but he often comes to understand the situation, Microsoft and Time are not far from the current office, not to mention that he is basically an idler at Microsoft.

"I have a new research task for you!" Zhou Shi said to Zhang Yaqin

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yaqin

"Do you know Bitcoin?" Zhou Shi

"Bitcoin? I don't know," Zhang Yaqin

"What about blockchain?" Zhou Shi asked again

"Blockchain? seems to have heard of it, this is a cryptography concept?" said Zhang Yaqin

"Somebody told me about it, and I think it's a good idea, and it's valuable to research. Zhou Shi said with some excitement

"Research Bitcoin or blockchain?" Zhang Yaqin obviously does not understand the meaning of blockchain

"Since you don't know about blockchain, let me introduce it to you. Blockchain is the application of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other technologies. It is a chain data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order and is cryptographically guaranteed to be tamper-proof and unforgeable. Zhou Shi saw that Zhang Yaqin still seemed to be a little indifferent, and continued, "This technology has several characteristics, decentralization: it is not centered on anyone or any hardware device, everyone and each node is equal, openness: the system is open and transparent, fairness: fairness and justice, without any human interference, permanence: once the information is verified and added to the blockchain, it will be permanently stored, and no one can tamper with, delete or destroy it." Unless more than 51% of the nodes in the system can be controlled at the same time, the modification of the database on a single node is invalid, so the data stability and reliability of the blockchain are extremely high, and there is irreversible security, etc. ”

"It seems to be very interesting. "Zhang Yaqin

"It's not as simple as being interesting, but if this kind of technology and thinking can mature, it will greatly change the whole society. "Zhou Shi

"Decentralization, openness and fairness, can really change the world. "Zhang Yaqin

"In addition to those aspects, the practical use of blockchain also plays a very important role in the financial field. For example, online payment and food traceability, because the blockchain has technical characteristics such as immutability and smart contracts...... Payments will be more secure. For food, all data in the entire supply chain is recorded on this distributed ledger, which is maintained and changed by all nodes in the network to ensure the authenticity and immutability of the data. A product that applies blockchain traceability chain technology is transparent in every process step from production to consumer...... Finally, there are things like "Zhou Shi...... "Zhou Shi."

"So blockchain is very promising?" Zhang Yaqin

"I don't know about this, but this technology has a lot of significance, and how much value it can have, it's not ......in my consideration," Zhou Shi said
