Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beginning
"Good morning, Tomrid. β
In the conference room, Dimes came in and greeted Townside, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, and Townside was the only one sitting on a stool in the entire conference room, and he knew at a glance how early he had arrived.
"Early. Townred said absent-mindedly, not even looking at Dims.
"What's wrong. β
Dimes could hear that Townred had something on his mind, and looked over to him to see the only television in the room playing the news, and the events in it attracted him, and like Townred, he showed a solemn look.
Chris Wetsch, the finance minister and Chris who walked in were all attracted by the news on television.
in the picture.
The host faces the camera and talks about what happened in the latest issue.
"According to international data, since the Plaza Accord in September 1985, the yen has risen sharply, and the dollar has fallen by 20 percent, and by the beginning of 1986, the yen is still appreciating, while North American brokers are going downhill like malaise. β
At the end of the news, Dimes and others chatted noisily, and the report in the new article shocked them a little.
The decline in North American brokers is more or less a little fluctuating for them.
"The economy is changing too fast. Dimes was speechless at the fall-and-rise data.
"Do you think North America can recover?"
Townred looked at Rosedale.
The others looked at him as well.
As the head of the finance department, you need to keep an eye on whether this will affect some of the company's economic decisions.
Rosedale said helplessly: "It depends on what the government and those people on Wall Street will do, and I don't know." β
Hearing this, several people began to communicate with each other again.
Leicester walked in and saw everyone talking about the economy.
"Boss, have you read the news?"
Rosedale, the Minister of the Treasury, cautiously said to Leicester as he entered;
"Look, even if there are fluctuations, it doesn't have much impact on us, and the real impact is on those real industries. β
Lester said indifferently:
"Real estate, you say real estate. "There's something about Christwech that doesn't quite understand.
Everyone else looked at Leicester, unclear about what he was saying.
Seeing this, Lester sat in the main seat and said: "You must know that if RB lost to North America in World War II, if RB's yen continues to appreciate, many things here will be very cheap in their eyes, and then companies with national pride will frantically buy North American companies, and at that time, many companies will not be able to fight back at all." β
"You must be kidding. β
Chris Whitch shook his head in disbelief and said with some disdain: "They can buy those real estate and companies." β
"The boss was right, they could. Rosedale retorted to ChristwiΔ's words, and said with a solemn look in his eyes: "If the dollar really continues to fall, it is really possible to make a successful acquisition according to the assets of those entrepreneurs and bank agents." β
"Maybe the whole island of Hawaii could be bought. β
Lester joked along with Rosedale's words;
"Oh, damn it. β
Dimes and Christwech and others were shocked by Lester's joking words.
"Probably not!"
After Rosedale's analysis, Townred was a little unconfident;
In fact, Hawaii did almost let the entire island be bought by RB entrepreneurs, but in the end, the brokerage bubble burst, and the real estate in North America plummeted, causing many RB companies to lose money.
"Okay, this is a turning page, it's still early before the next economic data comes out, and the meeting is held. β
Leicester finished their conversation and asked Tomrid, "Tell us about your overseas expansion." β
Tang Reed got up and showed the report he had put together for everyone in the room.
After a year of visits and negotiations, he finally got the distribution channels in various places overseas, thinking of the faces of those people at the beginning, Tang Lide complained with a bitter face: "If it weren't for the brilliant box office results of our Flying Bird Film and Television in 86 years to make those people relieved, I don't know how long it would take to reach an agreement with them." β
"So you succeeded. Lester applauded;
"Yes, it worked. With a smile on his face, Tom Reed looked at Lester and said, "My report is finished." β
"Then it's my turn. Rosedale told Leicester and others about the company's financial situation: "Last year, it cost $500 million on everything from the acquisition of five different TV stations and restructuring, and the company recovered $500 million in 85 years of annual revenue, and the company's total capital reached $2.6 billion." β
Hearing such good results, Chris Wech was a little shocked by the rapid development of Bird Film and Television, and no financial news of Bird Film and Television has ever been reported outside, which is too good to keep secret.
In just two years of development, Flying Bird Film and Television has made such a high progress, thinking about Flying Bird Film and Television in comics, film and television, and toys, they have all done very successfully, and no work has failed, and Chris Witch takes it for granted.
That's all for the financial data report. Rosedale finished talking about the profitability of the TV station and Bird Films, and sat down again.
"How's it going with The Transformers Movie. Lester looked at Chris.
The "Transformers" movie was requested by Hasbro, and Chris, who is the manager of the comic book department, has been following suit.
"Hasbro provided the script for the film, which will be directed by Nelson Shin. β
Listening to Chris's name so familiar, isn't this the prototype of the failed "Transformers Movie"?
Lester asked, "The one you chose." β
"No, it's the one chosen by Hasbro, and the script is the one they choose. Chris shook his head, thinking of the opinion made by Hasbro's CEO, and hesitated slightly: "Hasbro wants to invest in the animated film "Transformers", boss, you see...
When Lester heard this, he immediately said: "Then let them invest, and we will contribute a little." β
The animation of "Transformers" and movie scripts, comics and other things have been prepared a lot of things in two years with Hasbro and the people on both sides, and Hasbro's proposal of the already painted "Transformers" is also something that everyone expected, and Lester does not have much hope for the box office of "Transformers Movie", but just takes advantage of the trend to get this animated film that will become a classic in the future.
"Why don't we make our own. β
Chris Wetch chimed in;
Lester disagreed: "Blue Sky Animation Studio has other animated films to do, and the time is until the end of this year, and it can't be caught up at all, so I can only let other studios produce them." β
In order to catch up with the sales of "Transformers" and the changes of the times, Hasbro has already announced the broadcast time of each season of the animation in advance before the animation is produced, and even the third season of the animation of "Transformers" only started production in early January, which is an empty topic and no inner core work.
In such an empty situation, it can still make sales go up, Lester has to praise Hasbro's marketing strategy.
Since the other party is thinking about sales and making both of them profitable, Lester can't help but be kind, reminding: "Chris, you asked the publicity department and Hasbro to change the movie promotion strategy to promote animated movies that can be watched by both adults and children, and Hasbro knows how to do it,"
That's all Lester can do for "The Transformers Movie", and whether he can avoid box office failure depends on the audience's reaction after the promotion.
