After Henry and Spielberg finished talking on the phone, they thought about it and sent the electronic file of "Leonardo da Vinci's Code" to the West German publishing house. At the same time, he made a special call to inform Edward Joe, CEO of the West German publishing house.

"Edward, my new book, The Da Vinci Code, has been sent to your email, and you should arrange for publication as soon as possible. ”

"There's a new book again!" said Edward Joe, "all right, I'll arrange it right away!, well, that's it, I'm going to hang up!"

Edward eagerly turned on the computer, then logged into his email and downloaded the novel attachment sent by Henry to the computer. Open the file and read it. This reading immediately made Edward deeply immersed in it, and he couldn't stop it......

Edward watched all night, but his face was not tired, but there was a strong look of excitement.

"Oh God, it's so beautiful!" Edward couldn't help but say, "The novel is a collection of detectives, thrillers and conspiracy theories, and the suspense is stacked and thrilling, and after reading it, people can't stop at all!!!

Edward hurriedly copied "Da Vinci's Code" to a USB flash drive. Although the capacity of the USB flash drive is small, it is enough to copy books less than 1M.

In the previous life, the U disk was invented in 1998, and it was also the basic invention patent of the U disk obtained by China Langke Technology. But in this life, Hengli first launched the USB universal converter, and naturally also took the U disk into the bag. With the increase in the number of computers with USB interfaces, Williams Electronics naturally launched a USB flash drive. Each USB flash drive is only 2M large, and the cost is less than $20, but the price is $50, because the USB flash drive is easy to use and easy to carry. Therefore, once launched, it was very popular. In 1994, 3.5 million USB flash drives were sold, bringing Williams Electronics a net profit of $105 million.

Edward took the USB flash drive and drove to the office, where he was then brought in. Prepare for the publication of the book "Leonardo da Vinci's Code".

The publishing process is very complicated, there are many times of review, revision, paper processing, typesetting, proofing, quality inspection, etc., after passing, the core is red. Generate final documents, print, warehousing, and distribution. Typically, it takes at least three months for a publisher to officially publish.

However, for Henry's work, it is special. In two to three weeks, it is estimated that it will be passed. Then press it out and publish it within a month!

Henry at this time. Already busy adapting the script. Henry not only watched the movie "Leonardo da Vinci's Code", but also wrote the novel himself, and he had a deep experience. When I write the script, the pen is wonderful, and the spirit is like a spring. It took a week to complete the script of "Leonardo da Vinci's Code", which was more perfect than in the previous life.

Henry then came to the film company. He handed the script to Bobby Robin and told him that he had agreed to make Spielberg the director.

"Bobby, where has Helen gone?" Henry had been here for a while, but still hadn't seen Helen. So he asked.

"Oh, Miss Helen went to Japan. ”

"What did she do in Japan?" asked Henry.

Miss Helen offered to manage Galaxy Toho and Ghibli Animation Studios. ”

"Oh, that's right......" Henry nodded, and then said, "Then you can tell me about the development of Galaxy Toho and Ghibli Animation Studios now, and it's been a while since you acquired them!"

"Yes, chairman, at the end of 1993 acquired Ghibli Animation Studios and Galaxy Toho Company. At the beginning of this year, Galaxy Toho launched the TV cartoon "Pokémon", which immediately caused a huge sensation in Japan, and the TV ratings broke the all-time record, so that the "Pokémon" merchandise sold very well and made a lot of money for the group company!" said Bobby Robbie, "Miss Helen believes that the cartoon will be a very huge cake in the future, so it is necessary to lay out the layout in advance. She said that anime is generally adapted from manga, so the purpose of her visit to Japan was actually to buy a manga publishing house!"

When Henry heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, he didn't think that Helen was quite far-sighted.

"Which comic book publishing house is she going to buy?" asked Henry.

"Shueisha and Shogakukan," Bobby Robin elaborated, "Shueisha and Shogakukan are both very famous large publishing houses in Japan, and they are also two of the three major manga giants in Japan, Shueisha publishes Weekly Shonen Jump, Shogakukan publishes Weekly Shonen Sunday, and the third manga giant is Kodansha, which has published works in Shonen Magazine due to its early publication, and many well-known manga artists have published their works in Shonen Magazine, such as Osamu Tezuka, Hiroshi Nagai, and Shotaro Ishimori. However, the best-selling one is Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump". ”

Henry smiled, "Shueisha seems to be a subsidiary of Shogakukan, as far as I know, Shueisha was created in the first place, but it was later spun off. However, Shogakukan still holds more than 40% of Shueisha's shares!"

"Chairman, you know a lot about these two publishers, too!" Bobby Robin said.

"It's good to know a little bit!" Henry smiled, not only did he know a little bit, he even knew that the two publishing houses would be reunited into Hitotsubashi Publishing Group in the future.

"Bobby Robin, I support the acquisition of Shueisha and Shogakukan. The value of comics is indeed very huge, since Helen bought the comic company in Japan, then Galaxy Pictures bought the comic company in the United States!"

"Chairman, you mean we're going to buy Marvel?" Bobby Robin paused, "There are two major comic book companies in the United States, one is Marvel and the other is DC Comics. DC Comics is a subsidiary of Time Warner, and Batman works make a lot of money for them, so presumably they won't sell DC Comics to us. Then, the only thing we can buy is Marvel!"

"That's right, it's the acquisition of Marvel!" Henry nodded.

When Bobby Robbie heard this, he couldn't help but reminisce, and then said: "In 1989, American billionaire Ron Pereman bought Marvel for 85 million. Ron Perreman is just a pure businessman, and he has no intention of running Marvel at all. After he bought Marvel, he only thought about making Marvel public. As soon as Marvel went public, he was able to cash out large sums of money from the stock market. In order to increase Marvel's stock price, Ron Pereman kept asking Marvel to buy other companies. However, the end result was that Marvel was heavily indebted and on the verge of bankruptcy......"

"Hmph, Marvel is indeed going bankrupt, and Ron Perreman himself is very rich!" Henry sneered.

"Yes, chairman, he's cashed out a lot of stock and made at least half a billion dollars! It doesn't matter to him whether Marvel goes bankrupt or not, he's squeezed Marvel's potential out anyway!" Bobby Robbie said hatefully.

Henry looked at Bobby Robbie's expression and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What, you're a Marvel fan?"

"Well, I've been reading Marvel comics since I was a kid!" Bobby Robbie nodded.

"I also like Marvel heroes. Oh, yes, Bobby Robin," Henry instructed, "buy Marvel and delist it from the stock market and keep some of the shares for the company's founders and managers." ”

"Well, okay, Chairman," said Bobby Robin, "then I'm going to buy Marvel now!"

"Wait, you buy all the heroes that Marvel sold before, I hope to get a complete Marvel!"

"Yes!"
