After participating in the recording of "The Larry King Live Show", Summer then gave an exclusive interview to three print media outlets, repeatedly explaining why she bought Columbia-Samsung Pictures and the benefits of the acquisition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was busy until late at night before returning to the hotel to rest.

The reason why he fought so hard was mainly because he was going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. So seize the last chance and make a final effort!

Zhong Chuhong's side, after a week of filming, "Autumn Fairy Tale" has also been successfully completed, and he will return to Hong Kong with him tomorrow. As for the crew, the large army will stay to finish, and it is expected that they will not return for another week.

"Michelle, I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. You have to do a good job of acquisition here, you must succeed, and you can't afford to fail. Before leaving, Summer instructed Michelle.

"I know, boss, don't worry, I'll do my best. Michelle nodded and reassured.

"It's not enough to do your best, it's about success. Summer waved her hand, looked into Michelle's eyes, and said seriously, "If you succeed, the reward I will give you will be far beyond your imagination." But if you fail, your losses will be greater than you imagined. ”

"I see, boss. When Michelle heard him say this, she immediately said excitedly.

Summer has always been stingy with her, and in recent years, the bonus alone has been millions of dollars, and the income is as high as that of the CEO of a first-line investment bank on Wall Street.

She also knows that once she is fired from the summer, it will be difficult to find such a good job again. So in order to keep her job, she had to fight this time!

"Hmm. Summer nodded, "Okay, report to me once a day." ”

"Yes. Michelle also nodded.

……

The next day, Xia and Chung Chuhong took a flight back to Hong Kong.

Judging from the TV program and newspaper reports of the day, the public relations in the summer is still very effective.

Not only was the opposition much quieter in the newspapers, but a poll conducted by the media overnight showed that 50 percent of the people expressed support for the acquisition of Columbia-Samsung Pictures in the summer, 30 percent expressed opposition, and 20 percent had no opinion. The results of this poll show that the people's perception has changed, from majority opposition to majority support, which is a good thing.

Summer also noted that neither Columbia-Samsung Pictures nor its majority shareholder, Coca-Cola, had expressed a stance on Summer's acquisition.

Summer guessed that they were probably posturing.

With $2.1 billion in shares sold to the summer, Coca-Cola will definitely make a profit. Compared with the $750 million spent on the previous purchase, Coca-Cola's profit is nearly twice as much.

And Columbia-Samsung Pictures is a mess right now, and it hasn't improved for many years. Coca-Cola is throwing the pot now, and it's just in time.

But even though the business was a good fit, they wouldn't say yes right away. As a wealthy family in the Hollywood film industry, although it is down, it still has to put on a stand and be reserved.

It is also not excluded that they are waiting for a second buyer. There are many things in the world that are not worth much, but they are robbed by more people, and their value has doubled all of a sudden.

For example, garlic was originally just a very common vegetable, but because you robbed me, the price of garlic soared, rising by as much as four or five times. In fact, the price is already very unreasonable, but if you want to eat garlic, you can only pinch your nose and accept this high price.

"If I really make a mistake halfway, such as if Sony suddenly buys it ahead of schedule, then what should I do?"

……

Sony has a lot of money and has always had ambitions to enter the cultural industry. In the 60s, it had already formed Sony Records in Japan with Columbia Records.

At that time, Morita had already set Sony's business strategy, that is, "hardware and software are the two wheels of the Sony Group, and they must be made to run at the same time." ”

And Sony Records did not disappoint him, with sales reaching 700 million yen in the first year of its establishment. Since then, its performance has increased year by year, and by this year its turnover has exceeded 100 billion yen.

What's more, Sony Records also helped Sony promote the standard CD (optical disc) format jointly launched by Sony and Philip. It has become a successful example of the two wheels of "software" and "hardware" in the mouth of Morita Schof, and has also determined him to continue to take the strategic line of software and hardware in parallel.

In addition, at the end of the 70s, Sony and JVC successively launched BETAMAX and VHS video tapes, and after more than 10 years of competition, JVC's VHS format was successful and became the standard format for video tapes.

This means that in the future, any film and television company that wants to launch its own video will have to pay a royalty to JVC. Think about how many videotapes are released every year in the world, more than 1 billion, 800 million, and all this money will be made by JVC.

Sony, of course, was not reconciled. And it failed because there were so few allies on its side. Hollywood, in particular, disdains it.

Universal Pictures also took Sony to court for its ability to transcribe movies at will, leading to a proliferation of pirated videotapes, asking the court to prohibit Sony from selling video recorders. Although the lawsuit was ultimately won, it also hit Sony's development to a certain extent.

After learning from the pain, Sony naturally strengthened its strategy of acquiring cultural industries and promoting hardware sales. And that's what it thinks, and that's what it does.

Since last year ('86), it has sought to buy its partner, Columbia Records, for $12.5 billion. However, after a year of talks from November last year to now, they still haven't been negotiated.

Although if Sony intervenes in the acquisition of Columbia Pictures at this time, it will become a two-front battle. And the two acquisitions together may involve as much as six billion dollars, which is Sony's annual sales, which is not a small amount.

But Summer believes that Sony is likely to take that risk if it thinks so.

Because Sony itself is financially powerful, coupled with the appreciation of the yen and the Bank of Japan's interest rate cut, money is not a problem for it.

Therefore, if it really wants to enter the game, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble to itself.

……

"Made, I hope Morita Shov is not so impulsive, otherwise, things will be a little troublesome. Summer thought worriedly, her brows twisted into big bumps.

"Ah Tian, what are you thinking?" Zhong Chuhong saw him looking at the newspaper, frowned, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Oh, didn't think much of it. Summer waved his hand.

"Forget it, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and it's useless to worry about it now. He thought to himself again, and immediately laughed with relief.

"That's good. Zhong Chuhong nodded, "By the way, listen to my little sister, this year's Sister Ya beauty pageant has already started to sign up, and she also wants to participate." ”

"She wants to participate in the beauty pageant of Sister Ya? Summer was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, "You also know how complicated the entertainment industry is, even if it's me, I can't avoid those cold guns and arrows, let alone your sister." Let's let her be the eldest lady at home. ”

That's what I told her. Zhong Chuhong nodded, deeply aware of this.

Don't look at her now as the number one actress in Hong Kong, she is very popular, and has the reputation of "no matter how popular she is, she can't be Zhong Chuhong, and she can't be Zhou Yanfa again".

But how much she has suffered so far. Not to mention staying up late during filming, injuries and the like, these pains can still be endured. The most unbearable thing is that when she was at Shaw Brothers, the company made her a sexy star, and let her make a lot of large-scale movies, which made her bear a lot of infamy.

In those years, even relatives and friends were reluctant to come to her house. When other men looked at her, they all used that kind of obscene and disgusting gaze, which put her under a lot of mental pressure.

Fortunately, she survived those days, and with the support of the summer, she became a first-line superstar and successfully got rid of her previous burden. Therefore, how can she want her little sister to suffer again.

"But Xiao Nizi has always had the right idea, and if she doesn't let her do anything, she will do it. What do you say this can do?" Zhong Chuhong said helplessly.

"It's simple, too. I'll say hello to Mrs. Zhou when I go back, and let her be swept down in the first round, isn't it over? Summer laughed.

"Ah, you still have a way. When Zhong Chuhong heard this, he smiled happily.

Summer also smiled, and suddenly remembered this year's Asian sister beauty pageant, it seems that there is still a beautiful woman Li Jiaxin to participate in the election.

"With her quality, it shouldn't be difficult to win the championship. He couldn't help but think.

Li Jiaxin is a Chinese-Portuguese mixed-race, with three-dimensional facial features, high nose and deep eyes, ice muscles and jade skin, cold and charming. When she was running for Miss Hong Kong, she was praised as "earth-shattering", which shows how amazing she is.

In addition, I hired a famous teacher in the summer, and I started to adjust her half a year ago. Beautiful posture, clothing and makeup, eloquence and conversation, etc., she is completely cultivated as a wealthy celebrity.

According to the teacher, Li Jiaxin also studied very hard, and his comprehension was also very strong. Therefore, such a great beauty with great external beauty and inner beauty, now participating in the election of Sister Asia, the champion should be nine out of ten.

"Well, Li Da Beauty~" Thinking of Li Jiaxin's glamorous appearance, and then thinking of her charm in "Demon Beast City" and "Fallen Angel", Summer couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart.

The reason why he cultivated Li Jiaxin so much was not for himself. A woman like Li Jiaxin, the better she is, the cooler it will be for him.

"By the way, Ah Tian, hasn't that Dupeng company been acquired yet?" Zhong Chuhong asked suspiciously.

"Oh, and it's still going through the censorship process. Summer explained, then sighed, "Alas, the French are too slow, it's been almost a year, and he hasn't finished reviewing it!"
