Chapter 296: Who's Leading?

Within two days, Li Zetian learned from Dongfang Yuqin that the CEOs of many Hong Kong film companies had personally sent him congratulatory messages to celebrate his successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

“Mr· Li, Hong Kong film companies are flattering and flattering you!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.

"That's right!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "Since they want to please me, then I will let them curry favor, I want to see who has the best attitude! Dongfang Yuqin, instruct to go down, let Bowei Film and Television Company take the opportunity to acquire Hong Kong cinema chains!! since they want to enter the US market, then give up Hong Kong's cinema market first!"

Film companies in Hong Kong generally have their own theaters so as not to be stuck by others. The U.S. film market, on the other hand, is not allowed by law to own theaters. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and Hollywood movie giants usually secretly control many theaters through cross-shareholding by multiple parties.

However, if an American film company owns overseas theater chains, it is allowed, and the US government has no control over it, and the local government is in charge of this matter.

Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "In this way, I'm afraid that there will really be a film company that will let the theater line!"

……

……

20th Century Fox, a certain luxurious room.

Nikita stood in front of a mirror, the stunning beauty in the mirror was not hung up, the seductive ketone body was like God's most outstanding work, convex and backward, the skin was like congealed fat, and the good figure was simply uncontrollable, Li Zetian fortunately didn't see her body that day, otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear it that night.

"Am I not charismatic? Li deliberately avoiding me......" Nikita muttered, frowning slightly.

"However, the Godfather can get a lot of things that make the Chronos· Things that Li likes, such as Iranian oil, African ore, Soviet arms, technology, talent...... He said that he would definitely find a way to make Chronos· Li was addicted to me, and with Chronos· With Li's help, the godfather's career will be in full swing. And Chronos· Li has a very good relationship with President Reagan of the United States, and it would be great if he could intercede in front of President Reagan on behalf of his godfather! It's just that Uncle Davis has invited him, but he hasn't joined, isn't he interested in oil?"

Nikita was a little puzzled, since the outbreak of the oil crisis, everyone knows the value of oil. Li is a businessman, how can he not be impressed?

In fact, Li Zetian is not impressed, he has also coveted oil for a long time.

Of course, Li Zetian rejected M. Davis's kindness, not because he knew that he had actually been calculated, but because he hadn't decided whether to enter the industry yet. And this kind of calculation is actually a blessing for him, and even profitable.

“Chronos· Since Li is very optimistic about "Alien 2", then I will be the producer of this movie, and after the filming of the movie is completed, I will find an excuse for him to come to the company to watch the movie. Nikita smiled, and her bright eyes widened, like a languid Persian cat squinting in the sun.

……

The film companies here in Hong Kong received the news hinted by Li Zetian, and they were all silent.

Although Li Zetian wants to spend money to buy their theater line, but selling the theater line is equivalent to giving up the initiative, and he may be controlled by others in the future.

However, soon some companies broke this silence and took the lead in ceding their own theaters to Bowei Pictures. Although this company is not a big company, Li Zetian reciprocated Li and promised to help them distribute movies, if foreign theaters can't watch Hong Kong movies, it's a big deal to distribute videotapes, Li Zetian's Netflix company is the world's largest videotape rental and sales company. There are still many Chinese in the United States and even in the world, and Hong Kong's films naturally have a certain market, and they can be distributed in many places and make more money.

As for the film companies after the sale of the theaters, they don't have to worry too much about Bowei Pictures will get stuck in their necks, Bowei Pictures solemnly promises that it is fair and just, as long as the quality of the film is good, it will naturally increase the number of screens, and it is impossible not to make money, right? If the quality of the film is poor and the reputation is poor, then the theater chain cannot be allowed to lose money, and it is natural to reduce the number of screens.

With the first, naturally there is a second, and a third......

There are many film companies in Hong Kong that have given up their own movie theaters, but these are small companies, because they don't have many resources in the first place, and they can't play a role, and when their movies are released, they still have to look at the faces of companies such as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City. Now that you have Li Zetian's thick thighs, why don't you hurry up and hug them?

And large companies are well aware of the importance of cinemas, so it is naturally not so easy to give up their cinemas.

However, as time passes, they will know how much value the combined resources of Disney, 20th Century Fox and Netflix can create for a film company......!

In Li Zetian's study, Dongfang Yuqin brought good news again.

She smiled and said, "Mr. · Li, the good news from the German side is that Evolutionary Robotics has successfully acquired the German TRUMPF group for $650 million. In addition, the negotiations with Carl Zeiss in East Germany have also made great progress, and the other party is also interested in selling, but the price has not yet been negotiated!"

"Good!"

Li Zetian is happy that the German TRUMPF Group leads the world in the field of industrial machine tools, laser technology and electronic technology, which can make Evolver Robotics grow rapidly.

"Arrange for TRUMPF to work with Seagate to develop DVDs!"

"Yes!"

After Dongfang Yuqin went down, the corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, the technical difficulties should be overcome, and then there is the establishment of DVD standards, which is inseparable from the support of Hollywood studios, and at present, he has Disney and 20th Century Fox under his name, and it is not difficult to establish DVD standards.

CD profits have already made Seagate a lot of money, and DVDs will only make more!

Li Zetian stood up and looked out the window with a smile!!

……

In the 60s of the 20th century, West Germany's GDP surpassed that of Britain and France, and in the 80s of the 20th century, West Germany became the third largest economy in the world. Every day in East Germany, people across the Berlin Wall sneaked into West Germany.

Carl Zeiss in East Germany did not have orders from the Soviet Union, and it was really miserable these years, thousands of workers needed to be fed, but the company could not make money, which could not help but become a headache for the East German government.

Li Zetian came to be this pick-up man, and the East German government was still able to accept it. However, Carl Zeiss was asked to stay in Germany.

Regarding this, Li Zetian naturally has no problem at all. He knows that you can't put your eggs in one basket.

Towards December, the East German government finally sold Carl Zeiss to Li Zetian for $800 million.

As soon as the news came out, the most shocking thing was the Carl Zeiss company in West Germany.

Because the two companies were originally one company, they split into two companies and became each other's biggest competitors.

Over the years, there has been a growing call for a merger between West Germany and East Germany, and the two Carl Zeiss companies are also interested in merging, but it is difficult to take this step due to the different political systems of the East and West German governments.

However, Li Zetian does not care about the political system, the former East German Carl Zeiss belonged to a state-owned enterprise, but now it belongs to him, so he wants to promote the merger of the two Carl Zeiss companies.

The two Carl Zeiss companies are united, and the field of optics is invincible in the world!

Therefore, just after the acquisition of Carl Zeiss in East Germany, Li Zetian ordered people to go to Carl Zeiss in West Germany non-stop to discuss the merger of the two companies.

The two companies were originally concubines, so under Li Zetian's lead, they quickly reached a merger agreement.

Less than 10 days later, the two companies held a press conference to announce the merger.

Li Zetian injected $400 million into the combined Carl Zeiss and became chairman of Carl Zeiss, holding 72.5% of the company's shares.

After completing this series of actions, Li Zetian was overjoyed, even a cutting-edge technology company like Carl Zeiss belonged to himself, it was so cool, spectacle lenses, microscopes, head-mounted monitors, astronomical planetariums, cameras, digital cameras, surveillance cameras, mobile phone cameras, etc., still let me develop them?!

Needless to say, how big the smartphone market will be in the future, and the mobile phone camera function is one of the keys to its success or failure.

What vivo illuminates your beauty, what OPPO is the most beautiful shot, etc., are all catering to people's requirements for taking pictures.

Selfies have become a kind of life, a kind of fashion.

In the previous life, many mobile phone companies used Sony for their cameras, however, in the field of optics, Sony was a fart in front of Carl Zeiss, and its skills were still learned from Carl Zeiss. Li Zetian has become the boss of Carl Zeiss, and he also knows the general trend of the future, so Sony will not want to learn technology from Carl Zeiss!!
