The process of preparing for the listing of Starlight Film and Television is not smooth, except that some people are making trouble behind the scenes, mainly because the animation funds that have been continuously invested in "Despicable Me" in recent years are as high as 500 million soft girl coins, and you must know that the total box office in the country last year was 6.2 billion soft girl coins, which can be seen how high the debt ratio of Starlight Pictures is. If it weren't for "The Big Bang Theory", "The Walking Dead" and the profit support of a series of domestic TV series, it would never have been possible to survive until now.

Since there are problems in the film and television industry, Zhang Zhao has repeatedly requested Zhou Shi to merge and list with Starlight Culture Media Company, but Long Danni has been unwilling. In fact, there is nothing in this matter itself, it is normal to have different opinions and different interests, if it weren't for them harming Zhou Shi's status and interests, he wouldn't bother to care. It's a pity that there are no ifs!

In the United States, Hollywood's local strength is strong enough to compete with Wall Street, not to mention that in China, the entertainment industry simply does not have the strength to challenge capital. Now Starlight Cinema is one of the top three cinema chains in the country, and there will be a time version of iQiyi in the future, as well as the largest social network in the country, not to mention the strength of Starlight itself, he has enough ability to influence the domestic film and television industry.

Long Danni was not a child after all, so she didn't choose to make trouble in person, but after getting off the plane, she contacted the person in charge of the Japanese branch, and she returned to China ahead of schedule.

Zhou Shi went to Japan, and there were many people who took the opportunity, although this was not his first time coming, but it was also the second time, but it was completely different from the last time. Some Japanese media compared him to Masayoshi Son, saying that he was a young version of Masayoshi Son.

Think about the top 10 websites in Japan, Amazon, YouTube, Friends.com, Twitter are all very related to him, Happy Farm is also popular here, MtimeMusic and Yelp have been cooperating with Friends since last year to expand the Japanese market, Yelp's is mainly in the Tokyo area. Nutshell and even Spreadtrum have always had branches here, and Japan's scientific research capabilities should not be underestimated. Some liberal arts students in China have brain problems, as if domestic enterprises with independent intellectual property rights can only research and develop in China, and researchers can only be Chinese, or they are pseudo-technology enterprises. As everyone knows, the development of this world has long proved that global research and development is the only way out. Even giants like Intel can't avoid it, not to mention domestic companies that don't have any advantages, and some people are so self-contained that it's outrageous. Fortunately, there is no such Sabi in the technology circle, and many companies have started global research and development.

On the first day, I met and got to know the main executives, Zhou Shi came to the Japanese friend network (excluding Oceania and India in the Asia-Pacific region), a friend network that is deeply in line with Japan's two-dimensional culture, and maintained a leading position in the competition with Facebook. The Middle East is similar, with one-third Arabs, one-third Chinese, and one-third Russians and Europeans. In the Russian-speaking region, one-third Chinese, one-third Russians and one-third Central Asian and Eastern Europeans. Of course, these rules are not hard and fast rules, nor are they fixed.

The CEO of the Japanese friend network is Japanese, although the Internet in Japan is not developed, their genius may only be a regional genius, but Hamamoto Kaiseh's ability to be a class student is really good, this is a geek, in his previous life, this guy was the founder and CEO of Fuso Toutiao, and being promoted to the Japanese friend network as CEO was Zhou Shi's last resort.

"Mr. Zhou, we just received news that Prime Minister Kan Naoto wants to meet with you!" Hamamoto said respectfully (the Japanese is broad and profound, Hamamoto Kazusheng didn't say that in the original words, it probably means the same.) ）

"Do you think it's appropriate? After all, this is not a business activity, but a job," Zhou Shi said

"We went to Fuso this time to inspect the operation of various enterprises...... Chen Wen came out to explain, and it was not very suitable for things like meeting with the prime minister of Fuso. Mainly a matter of status, he now only holds the position of chairman and CEO of Yelp, and has no formal position in other companies. If you really want to interfere with the operation of the Japanese Friends Network, you can only go through the board of directors, but under normal circumstances, no one would be so stupid, let Zhou Shi promote something through the board of directors, it is likely that there will be other turmoil.

"Then forget it, let's just refuse!" Hamamoto Stage

"Doesn't a direct refusal affect the company?" said Zhou Shi

"It has no impact on the company. "Hamamoto class

"Then refuse~~ Wait, if you can meet in a private way, then make an appointment!" Zhou Shi suddenly thought that this matter might be helpful, but he didn't expect that it was time for him to meet directly with the prime ministers of various countries, time flies so fast.

Japan's prime minister at this time is Yukio Hatoyama, in addition to the scandal, obviously he can't be the prime minister for a few days, not so much to get his help, but to be curious about this person, he is a typical dove, relatively friendly to China.

Hamamoto heard it and went to reply, but unfortunately there was no follow-up, Hatoyama Yukio's trouble was too great, and in history, he announced his resignation next month. It's normal to not be able to find time at this time. Zhou Shi happened to focus on his work.

Friends also has a competitor in Japan, Mixi, but it doesn't matter, the number of users of Friends exceeds 18 million, Mixi is about 10 million at most, and Facebook is even worse, and the scale of 10 million has not been reached. It's not a standout, but the lead is clear.

In the next few days, Zhou Shi met with the management of various companies he was associated with one by one to understand the specific problems they encountered in the process of operation, but also learned a lot, after all, the Japanese Internet market is different, they do not have many well-known Internet companies in their own country, and the lack of elite talents may be the main reason. Fortunately, Zhou Shi's company is attractive, as long as it can meet its own needs, the fewer talents in other companies, the better.

After finishing his company, Zhou Shi remembered Zhao Weiguo.

"Chen Wen, Zhao Weiguo, what's going on over there?" Zhou Shi

"I've already inspected Erpida, but I don't know the specific situation, and the people we followed over there didn't report to me. "Chen Wen

"Oh, let me know if there's news!" Zhou Shi

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as possible!" Chen Wen

South Koreans are very cautious, only last year in the LCD panel pit the mainland, to transfer the core technology to them to Huaxia, really not much hope. Taking a turn around Japan and reaping some good news will go a long way in opening the gap in Hynix's negotiations.

Now Elpida has fallen into bankruptcy crisis, if there are Chinese people willing to invest, it is like pie in the sky, Elpida's enthusiasm is unexpected.
