No one knows how useful smart voice speakers are, but this industry is the production place for many giant companies to compete, and almost all large Internet technology companies in China and the United States are involved in this, including Amazon, Google, Apple, Samsung, Alibaba, Huawei, Xiaomi and so on. If the communication protocol with household products can be established at any time, it may be an opportunity for the rapid development of chip companies. The various promotion measures in the future of the country are not effective in a short period of time, and only enterprises that are not bad for money have the courage to open up the market in this way.

In fact, there are similar products in the US market, that is, a wireless audio manufacturer called SONOS, their products are very good, but unfortunately they are not smart enough, the acquisition cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective compared with their own research and development.

The role of time holding's early entry may not be much, and it may be of great help to the formulation of smart home communication protocol standards in the future, and perhaps more than half of the enterprise standards can be formulated into industry standards. As for using this to change everyone's lives, it is still impossible to do it in a short period of time, which requires greater growth of artificial intelligence.

Zhou Shi is dealing with various things about time and friends, mainly adjusting the business ideas and development direction of business leaders. Although he has some experience in specific business management after training in Yelp, these are not the focus of his attention. He is most sure of the future direction of the company, at least for a short time, his insight will not be invalid. This is one of the biggest bugs that Time and Friends can develop quickly. In addition, dealing with various forces is indispensable. is not only a matter of Huaxia Friends Network, but also a matter of Starlight Film and Television.

Starlight Film and Television's box office revenue in China over the years is not very large, at least it is not worthy of its income level, and there may not be much gain this year, and it is not right, investing in Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" should be able to make money, as for the joyful big movie or the like, forget it.

In fact, I was going to adapt "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but thinking about it, the starting point has not been acquired, that is, forget it, but the adaptation rights of film, television, animation and games such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", "Breaking the Sky" and so on have been received in hand.

Even if there is a not good film and television box office in China, the income of Starlight Film and Television is still very considerable.

"Mr. Zhou, we can make a lot of money this time!" Zhang Zhao saw Zhou Shi repeat his words on the phone again, "Despicable Me" has a global box office revenue of more than $600 million.

Starlight Film and Television can get about one-third of the box office revenue, even if there is a profit of more than 100 million US dollars after deducting the cost, the other peripheral copyright income will not be less than 100 million US dollars, and the first part of "Despicable Me" will have at least 1.5 billion soft girl coins, and the income of the next few sequel cartoons should not be less. As for cooperating in the filming of TV series, although it is unlikely that follow-up cooperation is possible from now on, the profits of the existing American dramas are considerable. Spread these profits over previous years, there is a great possibility that the main board of Starlight Film and Television will also be great.

"Yes, it's really not easy this time!" Zhou Shi, Starlight Film and Television is really not easy this time, it has invested so much in the past few years, and there is basically no performance in China, and there are several internationally renowned male and female movie stars, maintaining Starlight's status in China. However, it has also been ridiculed by a lot of people, and many people say that Zhang Zhao has money and will not be paid, and he has no experience. Let's just talk about cartoons, the income of this thing is really hard to calculate, making money is earned, but unfortunately it has no status in China. Starlight adheres to the path of Disney and insists on shooting movies that are true, kind and beautiful, in addition to cartoons, she also makes princess movies, girl movies, and chick movies, such as "Very Perfect", "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and so on.

"Yes, fortunately, the company is relatively united, and everyone is holding their breath to make a good movie, but fortunately, this time it was successful. Zhang Zhao thought that Zhou Shi insisted on the big investment in "Despicable Me", and even aborted the project of another Hollywood company, and insisted on his own interests several times, and did not give up the sequel cooperation and distribution rights.

"Hard work doesn't always pay off, but we're lucky. "Zhou Shi, the success of a movie is never taken for granted, even if the same movie appears in different times and places, there may be completely different performances. Although most of the animated films led by Starlight Film and Television are produced by overseas teams, including excellent teams such as DreamWorks, they are still led by Chinese after all. If its success is certain, no one can guarantee it.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, I heard that there is a problem with the equity of Abu Dhabi over there in Mirapex?" Zhang Zhao

"Yes, that's the case. "Zhou Shi, there are still many unspoken rules in Hollywood, Jews occupy a lot of voice in Hollywood, although Zhou Shi wants to promote peace between the two regions, but for the sake of interests, he finally gave up Abu Dhabi's funds.

"You see that we have made so much money here, can we join in, and when the company goes public next year, we will not be short of money. Zhang Zhao immediately took over

"Yes!" Zhou Shi did not refuse

"Give us all the shares?" Zhang Zhao

"Then can you eat it?" Zhou Shi glanced at Zhang Zhao, but he didn't expect that his heart was still very big

"For the sake of Miramax's shares, even if it is convenient to borrow money. "Zhang Zhao

Miramax's shares are 55 percent in Zhou Shi's name, 10 percent each in Abu Dhabi and China Investment, 5 percent each in David/Megan Ellison (Larry Ellison's two children), 10 percent in Huaying and 5 percent in Huayi. Of course, Abu Dhabi and Huatou need to borrow more low-interest loans to Zhou Shi, and the shares in Huatou's name may not be held by Huatou, maybe other domestic capital, and he doesn't care about this matter. Anyway, in order to pull the relationship, as long as it can bring low-interest loans to Zhou Shi, bear the acquisition costs, and have a legitimate source of funds, there is no need to delve into many things. However, ten percent of the shares will be at least $120 million, and if the relationship is not enough and you will need more than $240 million to provide your own loans, although Starlight has no problem in terms of funds, there is no need to do so.

"It's still five percent!" Zhou Shi said after thinking for a long time

"Alright then, no less!" Zhang Zhao saw that since Zhou Shi had decided, he was not entangled, and he knew that it would be difficult to change Zhou Shi's mind.

And who will sell the five percent of the shares to? Robin Lee or Jackma? Zhou Shi was a little hesitant about this, did he have to find a door-to-door salesman? But soon he didn't have to worry, and Pichai brought him good news.

"Tata Group, they're also going to Hollywood?" Zhou Shi
