When the Flamingo game is released, it doesn't matter if Sunbird or Apple is released, they will all die!

At the moment, the development of the Flamingo console is almost complete, samples are being manufactured at the factory, and after a month or two of testing and modifications, mass production will be available in October. In order to produce flamingo game consoles and game cartridge related products, Pen Fun Court www.biquge.info Ant Factory has trained thousands of workers, with a monthly production capacity of 5 million game consoles per month.

The time for Flamingo to kill all sides is coming soon, and Apple's entry into the game console industry at this time is definitely a huge mistake!

On August 15, "Star Wars 2" was released in the United States, hitting a new box office high, reaching $75 million in the first week!

At the end of August, "Star Wars 2" began to be released overseas, repeatedly breaking box office records in various countries.

Li Zetian found that making movies is too profitable, and every time the "Star Wars" series of movies is released, it means that the company increases its revenue by at least 600 million US dollars, including peripheral profits.

"Alien E.T seems to have been released in the early '80s, right? The box office is higher than that of "Star Wars 1" and "Star Wars 2", and it is the global box office champion! It is worth mentioning that the investment in "Alien E.T" is only $10.5 million!" Li Zetian mused.

On the evening of September 1, Star Wars Pictures held a celebration banquet and invited many well-known Hollywood personalities.

Li Zetian was idle and had nothing to do, so he also went to the banquet.

Since movies are so profitable, now you have to get excellent works into your own company.

"Mr. Li, congratulations, Star Wars 2 is a big hit at the box office!"

"Mr. Li, congratulations......"

“……”

Many people greeted Li Zetian, those who knew and those who didn't, Li Zetian smiled.

Not far away, George Lucas was drinking and chatting with Spielberg, the two were friends and directors, and they often communicated together.

Previously, Spielberg made a "Jaws" movie, which became famous in Hollywood, and became more famous than George Lucas. But after the release of "Star Wars 1", George Lucas's fame surpassed Spielberg, and this time "Star Wars 2" made persistent efforts and achieved great results, making George Lucas the most dazzling director in Hollywood!

Li Zetian took a glass of red wine and walked towards the two of them.

"Mr. Li, you're here!" George Lucas was startled, as he rarely saw Li Zetian attend banquets.

"Hmm!"

At this time, Spielberg also said hello to Li Zetian.

The three of them began to talk.

Li Zetian half-jokingly said to Spielberg: "Director Spielberg, are you interested in signing a contract with Star Wars Films to make a movie?"

Currently, Spielberg is the director of Universal Corporation.

Li Zetian is digging the foot of the wall!

Spielberg was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "As far as I know, Star Wars Films has no other film shooting plans except for investing in the "Star Wars" series of movies. ”

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Not now, doesn't mean that there has never been." ”

Spielberg pondered for a moment and said, "If Star Wars Pictures asks me to make a movie, it will be my honor, and of course I am very willing." But first, I'm going to see if the script works for me......"

George Lucas smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, I was about to ask Spielberg to help me come to the movie, and now I am going to be poached by you~!"

"Haha," Li Zetian said with a smile, "Okay, Director Spielberg will help you shoot first, and then help me shoot, during which I will have people write the script." Li Zetian probably guessed what the movie George Lucas invited Spielberg to shoot was, it should be "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Li Zetian then asked, "George, does Lucasfilm need investment?" "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is also a very high-grossing series, although Li Zetian does not remember what the box office of the film was, but at least it should be 300 million US dollars, and its production cost should be estimated to be less than 20 million US dollars.

At this point, George Lucas nodded and replied, "Yes!"

There is no way, the copyright of "Star Wars" does not belong to Lucasfilm, so the current Lucasfilm does not have strong funds to invest in the film, and one more investor can share a trace of risk.

"How much investment are you going to make?" Li Zetian continued to ask while the iron was hot.

"Five million dollars!" George Lucas said after a moment's thought.

Li Zetian nodded, "Well, that's $5 million...... He could see that George Lucas had suffered a loss in "Star Wars" and did not get the copyright, and he didn't want him to take the copyright of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" this time.

Li Zetian has already taken a big advantage of George Lucas, and he feels that there is no need to continue to cheat him. In addition, the peripheral products of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" are not very profitable, and it is not worth Li Zetian's efforts to grab the copyright of this movie.

So, the two reached a verbal agreement here.

Li Zetian clinked glasses with the two of them, drank a small sip of red wine, and then left.

At the banquet, Li Zetian met a lot of people, and the connections in the film industry still have a bit of a role for Li Zetian. In 1989, Sony acquired Columbia Pictures of the United States, successfully turning Sony into an electronic entertainment giant!

That night, when Li Zetian returned home, he planned to set up a new film company, not only to produce films, but also to have the right to distribute films! Looking at the six major Hollywood film companies, none of them had the right to distribute them.

In terms of movie box office sharing, film distributors account for a large proportion!

Why don't you make this money yourself, but give it to other companies? Besides, if you don't have the right to publish, it's tantamount to being controlled by others!

However, Li Zetian thought about it for a long time, and felt that he was too slow to establish a film distribution company, and the right thing to do was undoubtedly to acquire a powerful public film company, which was in line with the style of business tycoons!

Li Zetian thought for a while, which company is suitable for acquisition, his favorite company is Disney!

After the death of the founder of the Disney Company in 1966, Disney faced the dilemma of losing its creativity, releasing only four cartoons in the '70s, and factional rivalries within the company intensified.

In the seventies and eighties, the U.S. economy was in recession, the Hollywood film market was sluggish, many companies went bankrupt, and the American entertainment industry began to set off a wave of mergers and acquisitions. At this moment, Disney is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is the best moment to acquire Disney!!

At present, Disney's annual revenue is less than 1.4 billion US dollars, but in the mid-80s, after professional manager Michael Eisner took over, Disney developed rapidly, and its annual revenue reached more than 18 billion US dollars in 1998, setting an annual growth rate of more than 20% for 14 consecutive years and an annual asset return rate of 18.5%, and the market value increased from the original 3 billion US dollars to 70 billion US dollars!

$3 billion is not a big number, Li Zetian thought about it for a long time and decided to eat Disney!!

"Before the baby is born, I must buy Disney as a gift for her!" Li Zetian smiled and said in a firm tone.

The due date was June 1981, so there's still a lot of time!

The next day, Li Zetian went to the Flamingo Company and agreed with Nolan Bushnell about the release of the Flamingo console.

in the office.

Li Zetian said: "The name of the game console is - Flamingo-1, and I plan to release it in Japan for more than a month, and then move to the United States!"

Nolan Bushnell was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why not just release it in the United States?"

Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Probably in October, the Flamingo-1 game console will be ready for mass production. Generally speaking, it takes a month or two to produce a game console in the early stage, just in time for the Christmas shopping boom. But before that, we're going to make the Flamingo game famous!" Li Zetian paused and said, "In November, the Flamingo console and games were first released in Japan, because the Atari 2600's influence in Japan is far less than that in the United States, and Japan is still a big game country, second only to the United States in the market. Occupy the Japanese market first, the game will become popular, and the fame will naturally spread to the United States, causing a lot of media and newspaper coverage, and players will be extremely eager for our company's products after reading the report, but we just don't release it, just hold their appetite. When it's time for the Christmas sale, imagine what that would be like!"

Nolan Bushnell couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Mr. Li, this idea of yours is very good! In Chinese idioms, is it called 'sound east strikes west'?"

When Li Zetian heard this, a black line appeared on his forehead.

"Bushnell, when did you start learning Chinese idioms?"

"I'm very curious about you, so I started to study Chinese culture when I have nothing to do on weekdays! I didn't expect Chinese culture to be so broad and profound, I found that I have fallen in love with Chinese culture, and it can bring me a lot of life insights and creative inspiration!" laughs Nolan Bushnell.

"Well, China has a long history of 5,000 years, and it is indeed worth learning from many foreigners. Li Zetian nodded with a smile and said, feeling proud and proud in his heart, because of his influence, more and more foreigners began to be interested in Chinese culture.

Then the two chatted for more than an hour, and Li Zetian left the Flamingo Company.

Because of the lessons learned, each product is rigorously tested.

The Flamingo-1 console had some minor issues during testing, but they were quickly resolved. On September 28, the product passed the test and was finally handed over to the Ant Factory for production.

A game hurricane sweeping the world is coming!!

PS: I want to add one more today, so there are two more, the current monthly pass is 1200, and it is estimated that it will not reach 1400 tomorrow.
