readx;
On the seventh day, the Japanese Sony boss Akio Morita finally came to the hotel where Chen Xiaotang stayed, in the café, Chen Xiaotang took a leisurely sip of water, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Morita, since you are willing to come to me, I think you must have made a decision."

"China Chen, tell me, did you do it?" Akio Morita couldn't wait to bite off a piece of Chen Xiaotang's flesh and chew it fiercely: "I think, now only you want me to go bankrupt!" ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled lightly, stayed on the clear water, and said lightly: "Friend, doing business always requires some means. I'm sure you're understandable, and I know you're coming to me, and now you're not at all lost, aren't you? ”
"A billion dollars, all sold to you! On my terms, though, you must stop attacking me! Akio Morita faced Chen Xiaotang, he was no longer as domineering as last time, but the pressure in his heart was only stronger than that day.
"Of course, of course it will stop!" Chen Xiaotang finally raised his gaze, and his sharp eyes met him: "It's just that it's not worth a billion now." Have you forgotten the conditions I gave you that day, 300 million or 800 million or 1 billion? You didn't make the choice in time, so now you don't have a billion! ”
This abominable Chinese devil!
Akio Morita gritted his teeth in his stomach and cursed, about to say something. Under Chen Xiaotang's eyes, Ye Zimei, who is Chen Xiaotang's personal female assistant, smiled and took out a piece of information and said to Akio Morita: "Mr. Morita, now the market value of your Sony record is only 530 million. In order for you to sell these two companies. The Shadow has already spent 100 million dollars, so there's no way you're going to get a billion or 800 million! ”
Akio Morita took the information and looked at it, and couldn't help moaning in pain~ groaned: I am your immortal banban!
He swore in his heart that he would never do business with Chinese again, especially such cunning guys, they were all devils, and they actually checked his current details clearly and thoroughly.
This is the ability of the fat man Wang Jing, during this time, the fat man Wang was not idle, and he took out his strength to pick up girls. "Soaking" Sony up and down. However, Chen Xiaotang definitely has more than one source of information in his hands.
After talking about it again, Akio Morita completely disarmed and surrendered, 500 million US dollars, and Sony Records North America will belong to the Magic Shadow Group in the future.
After getting such results, Chen Xiaotang stretched out his hand with great satisfaction, "Come, Mr. Shengtian, congratulations on our happy cooperation!" ”
looked at Chen Xiaotang's smiling appearance. Akio Morita was in the mood to hit him head-on, but he was in the face. He had to put his hand on it.
…………
Seeing that Akio Morita looked like he was dozens of years old, he left gloomily. Looking back, Chen Xiaotang quickly had a thorough conversation with the fat man Wang Jing.
"I think the company needs to change its strategic goals!" This is the first thing Chen Xiaotang said after seeing Wang Fatzi, his expression is quite solemn: "Hollywood is indeed very powerful, it is difficult for us to compete with them in the short term!" ”
"Isn't it?" Wang Fatzi raised his head in surprise, and immediately stood up and stared at Chen Xiaotang: "You just changed your mind after just staying in Hollywood for more than a year?" I think the previous strategy is good and doesn't need to be changed! ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had previously ignored that the status of Hollywood movies in the world was quite deep-rooted, and it was definitely not possible to defeat it overnight. The two sat down on the couch. Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh: "The West completely ignores the existence of Chinese-language films, which is certainly not conducive to our attack, but it gives us sufficient time to prepare!" ”
Is there really enough time? Chen Xiaotang didn't know, he knew one thing very well. 1991 was the year when computer special effects began to take off in earnest, and Hollywood began to take off in earnest, relying on the popularity accumulated over the past few decades.
There are only one to two years left, and various reasons make it difficult for Chinese films to quickly penetrate the North American market. Therefore, the company's overall development strategy must change. The U.S. market remains unchanged.
"In three years, we can't go head-to-head with Hollywood in North America. Three years, with three years, we should be able to get a record company. The film company, the special effects company, and the resources are all integrated, and then we will create our own entertainment kingdom......" He stared at Wang Fatzi, and in a sonorous tone, he also waved his hand to strengthen his tone.
"In these three years, what we want to do is to dominate the Asian market and occupy the European market." Speaking of this, Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, and felt that it was very similar to his current decision: "As long as we can win these markets and squeeze out the Hollywood market, it will not be too late to concentrate on dealing with the North American market when the time comes!" ”
Wang Fatzi was silent for a long time, he really didn't understand why Chen Xiaotang was so afraid of Hollywood, although he knew very well that the current magic shadow industry was too fragmented, so it was necessary to consolidate the market. However, he thinks that there is absolutely no need to be so afraid of Hollywood, after all, according to the spirit of the Shadow to swallow Fox now, and the ability to win Sony Records, it is completely possible to fight against it.
In the eyes of Wang Fatzi, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he didn't understand. Computer special effects, this damn thing, "Jurassic Park" was a milestone in special effects, and when it was released in Hong Kong, it completely broke the situation that Western films had no market in Hong Kong, and won more than 60 million box office, breaking all historical records. More than ten years later, even "Kung Fu" failed to break the record of this film. Not to mention that there is an insurmountable peak on the top of this film - "Titanic".
But now, the development of the entire Hollywood special effects is obvious to all, and even his popular new film "League of Assassins" is also the first in terms of special effects, which has attracted the attention of the Oscars, but Industrial Light and Magic is not so easy to control, on the other hand, even if Chen Xiaotang has the ability to snatch Guangye Light and Magic like Sony, but without a soul like Lukes, Industrial Light and Magic is just an empty shell.
So now Chen Xiaotang's strategy is that he is still working hard in Hollywood and trying to gain a firm foothold, while Wang Fatzi is responsible for consolidating the Asian and European markets, waiting for the advent of the era of electronic technology.
Nonsense, after investing so much money in it, what Chen Xiaotang wants is not simply how many dividends to share every year, but to influence the future Hollywood market......
Although the fat man Wang Jing still doesn't quite understand Chen Xiaotang's intentions, Chen Xiaotang's decision-making has never had big problems, so he also has a blind trust in him.
"Since you say so, then do it, by the way, I'm going back to Hong Kong, and I'll bring your parents to you when the time comes." The fat man refers to Chen Xiaotang's upcoming Oscar ceremony.
Chen Xiaotang smiled, "My dad is airsick, you can help take care of it, if you can't come, let him not come." ”
"Heh, I know your uncle's temper, and if something like this happens, whatever he says will come!"
Chen Xiaotang stopped talking, because just like the fat man said, he knew his father's character better than anyone else.
Next, Chen Xiaotang directly contacted Mike and Madonna, the queen of heaven, and told them about the successful acquisition of Sony Records.
Cheers rang out on the other end of the phone, especially Mike, who said loudly, "God, that's great!" From now on I don't have to sing for anyone else, I have to work for myself because I'm also the boss! ”
Chen Xiaotang was also very happy to hear Mike so happy, in contrast, the diva Madonna was much calmer, she said: "Now I'm only worried about how Sony records will work in the future?" You know, we're good at singing, but running a company is ......."
"Don't worry," Mr. Chen said, "I've thought about that for a long time, Sony Records will get through this crisis, and I'll continue to use the company's many talented people, including the Japanese." My principle is that as long as you are talented, you can be ambitious, and most importantly, we want to make Sony Records an aircraft carrier in the North American record market! ”
Madonna was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I hope so!" ”
Chen Xiaotang put down the phone, full of ambition.
Yes, from the moment Sony Records arrived, Chen Xiaotang has burst out with great ambitions, and the Hollywood record market should be reshuffled!
March 18, 1987.
Today's Sony Records is definitely a "mess". The internal structure was loose, the staff was unstable, the stock index plummeted, and most importantly, there were too many cassette records in the warehouse to sell.
And the initiator of all this is a sky-high price of 500 million US dollars to finally acquire the last part of Sony Records' equity.
Sony changed its doors and became a branch of the music division of Magic Shadow Entertainment.
As the most well-known star in Hollywood, Chen Xiaotang settled in Sony Records and became the president of the new Sony. And Mike and Madonna, the queen of heaven, became the chairman of the board of directors of the new Sony. For a time, the top management of Sony Records changed blood. However, Chen Xiaotang did not intend to move them as the cornerstone of creating the glory of the record, on the contrary, at the inaugural meeting, facing the blacks, whites, Chinese, and Japanese present...... Chen Xiaotang vigorously encouraged the big guys, regardless of each other or race, to fight together for the future of the new Sony.
Of course, it is impossible to talk about it like this, so Chen Xiaotang announced very boldly that the salaries of everyone here will be increased by one percent!
As soon as this sentence came out, it was more useful than any thousand words of preaching.
Immediately, the applause was thunderous.
Yes, it doesn't matter whether he is a Japanese or a Chinese sitting on the president's throne, as long as he can keep his job, the future is promising, better than anything else. (To be continued.)
