New Globe is making inroads into the consumer fashion industry.

Last year, the acquisition of Prada was completed, and this year's main goal is to take Victoria's Secret.

This task, which is personally handled by Robert Iger, the third mind and president of New Universal, is of a high standard!

Unexpectedly, before Victoria's Secret was done, the big boss Tang En quickly cut through the mess, killed halfway, and took down another luxury brand - Oakley with lightning speed.

At the same time, there is also Jim Jennard, the creative god that Donn values very much.

Jim Jennard is really not a capitalist.

Just like Elon Musk, he does not pursue the goal of increasing his wealth. He will choose to join New Globe, mainly because of the strength of New Globe and its solid foundation in the hardware layout of the film and television industry.

This will make it easier for him to achieve his grander ambitions in the future.

The two sides did not argue too much about the value of Oakley sunglasses, and completed the merger and acquisition at a price of $1.25 billion in the form of "$1 billion in stock + $250 million in cash".

"Oakley" has officially become a luxury brand under New Universal!

After the completion of this transaction, Jim Jennard also became the fifth largest shareholder of New Globe after Donn, Jobs, Dolby and Sons, and the Prada family with 7.4 million shares.

The position of a director is indispensable, which is a manifestation of self-interest.

Real power is also essential.

After New Globe completes its acquisition of Oakley, Jim Jennard will step down as CEO of Oakley, but he will remain chairman of the board of directors and decide the company's strategic decisions.

He started a sunglasses company because he loved it!

Over the past 30 years, he has personally created all of the company's creative posters, advertising designs, high-resolution photos and marketing slogans.

He couldn't have let go of "Oakley", his own child.

Of course, more energy must be put into Red.

This is a start-up company.

However, he didn't let go.

Donn was about to buy it for $200 million, but Jim Jennard rejected it, and only accepted a $20 million stake in 10% of New Globe.

Oakley was sold to New Globe because the "child" had grown up and matured.

The Red company had just been born, and he was only willing to feel at ease if he took it with him.

If you really take Red to join New Global, it will inevitably be subject to some group policy intervention and many "suggestions" and "constraints" from the top in the process of development.

Jim Jennard wants to start a company of his dreams, not a money-making company in the hands of someone else.

Of course, the road is not blocked.

Jim Jennard's ability to accept 10% of New Global's funding already speaks for itself.

After a few years, he smoothly developed the Red_one digital video camera, and the company's structure is close to complete, and the two sides may not be without the possibility of cooperation.

After all, in Jim Jennard's view, the digital video camera industry ...... It's still a little small, and it can't satisfy all his ambitions.

Dolby Laboratories, IMAX and other related film and television smart industries under New Globe have higher room for integration and expansion.

When the time comes, Jim Jennard will make a name for himself with the release of a 4K ultra-clear Red_one digital camera, and Donn will have enough reason to offer him a high position and pull him to New World completely.

He can be directly assigned the position of vice president of the interactive entertainment department, in charge of a series of hardware products in the film and television industry, such as Dolby Laboratories, imax, and Red.

Among them, even artificial intelligence should be included!

Last month, Dr. Dolby reported to Don that Dolby Laboratories should focus on home entertainment as well as developing a professional film and television business.

The former is for cinemas, such as Dolby surround sound, Dolby Vision, Dolby Cinema and other projects. The latter is for home theater and personal entertainment, such as Dolby HD disc players, Dolby Audio, and other projects.

Dr. Dolby pointed out that Dolby Laboratories should immediately launch a new project, the Dolby speaker.

Not a traditional speaker, but a wireless smart speaker!

It's about combining wireless technology with high-quality sound. It supports not only local music, but also Internet radio and online music services.

In the future, an artificial intelligence system will be set up in the speaker to control the playback of music through voice communication.

It's a very avant-garde concept.

Donn couldn't agree more.

It's like the future Apple speaker, Amazon speaker, and Sonox speaker are popular all over the world, adding a lot of fun to personal entertainment and adding a lot of convenience to personal life.

At present, Apple and Amazon have not yet launched a speaker business, but Sonos has been founded, which is a very hot emerging speaker manufacturer in Silicon Valley, and a lot of venture capital is flowing in.

This is the current investment outlet.

Acquisition of Sonos?

No need!

In terms of technology, Dolby Laboratories is the world's No. 1! In the field of sound quality and sound effects, Dolby Laboratories is the world's first!

It's entirely possible to create a new project within Dolby Laboratories and develop your own "Dolby Wireless Smart Speaker"!

However, this is a very complex and huge system project.

Especially when it comes to the field of artificial intelligence, which will be a supergiant industry in the future.

Dolby and his sons are scientists, can they control such a big strategic direction?

What's more, because of the emergence of the new universe, the current world entertainment landscape is very different from the previous life.

Netflix belongs to New Universal, Starz belongs to New Universal, Universal Music and Blizzard Entertainment all belong to New Universal.

The role of Dolby speakers is not just to listen to songs wirelessly,It should be the same as Amazon speakers and Apple speakers,Form a complete set of ecological chain of hardware products,To be used together。

Through the speaker's artificial intelligence system, you can watch Netflix's video programs on demand, watch exquisite American dramas on Starz TV, read popular comments on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, and purchase tickets intelligently through New Universal's online ticketing platform......

Even with Donne's relationship with Amazon, Google, and Tesla, the future Dolby speaker can even direct voice shopping, voice Google, voice remote control electric vehicles, and more IoT home ...... Even if Apple's products are forgotten, it is impossible to open source external products.

This is the role that Dolby speakers should play in the new global entertainment industry in the future.

Top priority!

Donn didn't think Dolby & Sons would be able to do such a big core project.

Let's let them slowly develop the prototype of the audio.

In the future, when Jim Jennard has mastered the digital video camera, he can be recruited to be in charge of all the hardware products of New Universal, forming an industrial chain integration of film and television content, consumer entertainment and hardware products.

On the day of Oakley's signing ceremony, Donn and Jim Jennard both appeared.

Done's eyes lit up.

Not to mention, this bald uncle who is not good-looking, wearing a suit and leather shoes, really has a bit of the taste of a business elite, and his image and temperament are very similar to Jeff Bezos.

……

Alison Mac is just an actor.

According to Natalie, it is an "idiot actress", which is not a sarcasm, but the status quo of the industry.

The group of actors is full of idiots.

George Paxton has a team of elite "detectives", and it shouldn't be too easy to investigate her.

Just the next day, Donn received a detailed investigative report.

Sure enough, the crew of "Superman Prequel" was poisoned.

Alison Mac is the female number one in "Smallville", and the female number two Kirsten Crook follows her to the training class. Some of the other crew actors are still waiting.

However, according to the survey report, this seems to be ...... It's really not a scam organization.

They really go to classes, they really get training, they learn psychology, they learn about success, they learn about women's self-awareness, they learn about the senior manager success program, and so on.

Even Alison Mack has to pay for classes.

It's just that the cost will not be so outrageous, only a few thousand dollars.

That's interesting.

Not a scam?

Then it must be brainwashed!

Thousands of dollars for training courses...... You can go to MIT to do some cheap MBA!

It is worth mentioning that this Alison Mac...... It's pretty and has a fleshy face, a feeling of baby fat, very cute, a bit like Miranda Kerr.

"It shouldn't be a fraud ring. ”

On the phone, George Paxton gave Donn an answer.

Tang En frowned: "But she did blackmail the rich girl." ”

George Paxton said: "This organization only recruits women, a lot of them are poor women at the bottom, and they can't afford to pay for thousands of dollars in training. It is also a way to quickly expand the membership of the organization. ”

"It's not that simple. Don shook his head, groaned for a moment, and said, "Do you have a feeling that this organization is ...... It's very similar to Scientology?"

"Scientology?"

George Paxton's voice changed slightly.

If that's the case, then it's complicated.

But on second thought, it seems that this is really the case!

Recruit celebrities to join the company, charge high tuition fees in the form of training, and recruit students under this high-sounding banner......

One is science and the other is feminism......

"No problem, I'll step up the investigation right away!" George Paxton responded immediately.

Scientology's reputation stinks.

However, there are people who believe it!

The most well-known believers...... Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise!

The reason why Tom Cruise has a cold relationship, poor emotional intelligence, and several marriages that ended badly in Hollywood is completely taught by this science.

Many countries in Europe and Asia have ordered a ban on the spread of Scientology, which is truly an illegal cult!
