After taking a stake in Cisco, Chen Jie immediately began his next goal in the United States. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At noon on this day, a guest came to Chen Jie's house, and this guest was David Stern, the current president of the NBA league. After the two met, after Chen Jie and David Stern greeted him, he asked the housekeeper to send two cups of tea, and he was not polite to David Stern, and looked at David Stern straight to the point
Said
"I'm looking for Mr. Stern this time because I want to ask Mr. Stern for a favor!"
"Jerry, you're so kind, you've done us a great favor by helping our league team build the arena. I haven't thanked you yet. If there's anything you need my help with, just ask! David Stern looked at Chen Jie with a smile and said, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely not."
Denied. ”
"In that case, I won't be polite to Mr. Stern!" Chen Jie said with a smile: "I want the NBA's RTHK broadcast rights!" ”
Chen Jie's request really surprised David Stern, after all, he had been to China, and in his opinion, China was really not very interested in basketball at this time. even made him wonder if the Chinese didn't like basketball at all. Otherwise, how could he have been talking to people in Beijing for so long?
What about only four NBA games broadcast throughout the season? In his opinion, Hong Kong and Taiwan should be similar to the mainland. But Chen Jie wanted to get the broadcasting rights in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and this mentor surprised David Stern.
"It's absolutely fine, and it's kind of helping us promote the NBA, so Jerry, I can promise you this now, but there's one thing I'm curious about!" David Stern looked at Chen Jie and said, "To be honest, I went to China some time ago and wanted to promote the NBA and enter the Chinese market.
Unfortunately, I failed. I don't think the whole of China is very interested in basketball, so I'm curious Jerry, why do you want NBA rights? And although I don't know much about you, I think you don't think there's a TV station in your industry. Even if I give you the broadcast rights
What use are you? ”
"This is very easy to explain, this time when I go back to Hong Kong, I will buy a TV station, and then the broadcast rights will be useful. As for the Chinese interest in the NBA! Frankly, I think a lot of people don't know much about the sport, and I believe that when they do, they won't
I refused to do this, although it may not be profitable for me for a long time, but it doesn't matter, I don't make a profit at all, and of course it's important because I love watching NBA games. When I got back to Hong Kong, I didn't have a place to watch the game, so
Doing so satisfies my selfishness! Chen Jie explained to David Stern with a smile.
David Stern never thought that Chen Jie's answer would be like this, maybe it was only at this moment that David Stern completely believed that Chen Jie really liked to watch NBA games.
"If the NBA had a few more fans like you, I don't think it would be long before our NBA league became the fourth largest sports league in the United States!" David Stern said with some emotion.
"I'm sure that day won't be too long!" Chen Jie also said with a smile.
After solving the problem of NBA broadcast rights, Chen Jie and Zhao Yuzhi were rarely idle, and the two of them invariably remembered a few little guys at home, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few things to be done in the United States, Chen Jie and Zhao Yuzhi really couldn't wait to fly back to Hong Kong and return to Jiangzhong to see it now
Looking at a few little guys, this also makes Chen Jie a little eager to get things done on the American side as soon as possible.
A week later, just as "Myth" was in full swing, another incident caught the attention of American journalists, and Chen Jie injected $500 million into Marvel Comics, thus becoming the largest shareholder of Marvel Comics. It owns 43% of Marvel's shares. This news will definitely make everyone feel it
Astound. Speaking of which, although Chen Jie is also very optimistic about Marvel Comics, his original goal was Marvel Comics, because Chen Jie knew that it was somewhat reluctant to put the superheroes in Marvel Comics on the screen in this era, after all, the special effects technology was still very immature, so Chen Jie's original intention was to acquire Marvel
Comics, Marvel Comics and so on will be said in a few years, but in the process of acquiring Marvel Comics, Chen Jie got into trouble, it turned out that Marvel Comics had been acquired by Time Warner for many years, and Chen Jie really had some difficulties if he wanted to take Marvel Comics from Time Warner.
After all, the idea of adapting comics into movies has been around for a long time, such as Richard Donner's Superman. Therefore, although the price given by Chen Jie was very attractive to Time Warner, he did not agree to Chen Jie's request. This also made Chen Jie somewhat helpless, and finally changed the target second
hurt Marvel Comics, which has been suppressed by surprise for many years.
It's a pity that Goodman, the owner of Marvel, doesn't seem to want to sell the Marvel Comics company in his hands. He is still very moved by Chen Jie's views on the promotion of comics. And in Chen Jie's framework, only Chen Jie has the strength to push it in the way Chen Jie said
Canton comics. So Goodman and Chen Jie discussed it together for a few days and collaborated in another way! This is the matter of Chen Jie's investment in Marvel. Although on the surface, it seems that Chen Jie injected 500 million US dollars to become the largest shareholder of Marvel, which seems to be a big loss, after all, Marvel at this time is at best
It is worth about seven or eight billion US dollars, but Chen Jie and Goodman have an agreement in it, all the film copyrights of all Marvel comics will be handed over to Longteng Pictures, and the animation rights of the same comics will also be handed over to Chen Jie
Take control of anything!
Goodman agreed to Chen Jie's condition very happily, in his opinion, Chen Jie took out so much money and did not interfere in the normal operation and management of Marvel, which he took a big advantage, although he wanted to hand over all Marvel movies and animation copyrights to Chen Jie, but this was originally what he was not good at
place, so I happily agreed to Chen Jie's condition. And Chen Jie really doesn't have much time to manage Marvel. It is the best thing to let Goodman be his coolie, although it has not reached absolute control, but it is only a matter of time before Chen Jie is concerned, and it is a big deal in the market
It would be nice to buy some Marvel shares, and it seems like next year is a good time!
