Chapter 433: Warning
Sony's successful acquisition gave it access to Columbia's rich "film archive".
There are 270 films and 23,000 TV films, including many masterpieces and blockbusters.
Sony cheered their victory, but across the ocean it was a national shock.
During a two-hour live broadcast of a Los Angeles local radio station in Hollywood, a call from a listener was broadcast that it was terrible.
The Washington Post also ran a strongly-worded article full of hostility towards Sony.
They commented that the change of owner of the company to the Japanese could have a detrimental effect on the films and television programs produced by Columbia, and that the filming of films reflecting the Second World War would certainly cause nervousness.
However, it was the October 2 issue of Newsweek that really stimulated Americans' feelings. The cover of this issue reads: wearing a Japanese kimono on the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of Columbia Pictures, is reminiscent of a geisha.
And next to this picture, write a big headline: "Japanese invasion of Hollywood" Newsweek used the word "invasion" probably to remind people of the "Pearl Harbor" attack of World War II.
Mr. Shapilo, a former manager of Columbia Pictures in Japan, said, "I don't think of the film industry as culture, but it is a charismatic and symbolic enterprise. Americans believe that the film industry is the 'quintessence' of the United States, and that it is indeed unpleasant for Japan to buy what the United States has a monopoly on. Perhaps Shapilo's words represent the thinking of many in the United States.
According to Time magazine, the total annual revenue of films, laser records, videotapes and other entertainment products in the United States reaches an average of $300 billion, and Hollywood films have always occupied a special place among global movie fans.
American films accounted for 50 percent of the blockbuster hits in Europe, and Japan's highest-grossing American film of 1990, "Jihad," grossed $32 million at the box office. Half of all theaters in the metropolis are showing Uncle Sam movies.
The fact that Japan's Sony Corporation dared to intrude into the most sensitive and emotional field of the United States was indeed a move that defied the whole world. Some even see this as evidence that Japan-US relations have entered a delicate stage.
Some people of insight have said without worry: As it is now, the United States accepts foreign capital without restrictions, and by the time it suddenly comes to its senses, perhaps the United States has already sold all the property it holds and has become a colony.
Just when Americans were scratching their heads and sighing about the Columbia company, the news of the "fall of New York" came out on Wall Street, which immediately tensed the nerves of the United States and even the world.
How could New York have fallen?
How could a superpower, which has more than half of the world's nuclear weapons, end up like this? It seems that only the Visitor from the Heavens can do this.
But here's what was striking: it was the Japanese who surrounded New York.
This world-renowned center of American culture and commerce has been repeatedly knocked by Japanese bosses with deep pockets in recent years. Jing lost one stronghold after another.
Many famous department stores and companies have long since changed hands, and the Japanese have become managers, presidents, and bosses, but they have not yet attracted much attention, and Americans never imagined that one day Rockefeller Center would become owned by the Japanese.
Rockefeller is a wealthy family that has been "alone" for decades. Rockefeller. From the groundbreaking of the first generation to the sixth generation, in the ups and downs of a century, it has become the embodiment of the modern bourgeoisie, the most famous surname in the world, and the envy of everyone.
Especially from the 80s of the 19th century to the 30s of the 20th century. In the minds of the world, Rockefeller is the United States, and the United States is the Rockefeller. The Rockefeller family is well known to Americans for its focus on philanthropy. In the mid-40s, the headquarters of the United Nations was established in New York. The second generation of Rockefeller Jr. donated a large piece of land by Wallace. Harrison designed the United Nations Building, which gave the United Nations Headquarters a permanent address.
Rockefeller was a prominent third generation of Nelson. Rockefeller served as Mayor of New York City and Vice President of the United States. In January 1979, he fell to his death due to a heart attack, and since then the Luo family seems to have been shrouded in the remnants of the sunset.
Rockefeller Center, which is now to be sold. Built in 1929 and completed in 1939. At the time of the Great Depression, Rockefeller Jr. spent $150 million to build 14 (and later eight) skyscrapers in Dayhattan, New York. As New York's center for culture, arts, publishing, journalism, entertainment, and recreation.
Today, the shadow of the Rockefeller Center tall building is gradually elongating in the light of the setting sun.
In 1989, the Rockefeller family went to their home in the 4,400-hectare Pocandiker Hill on the outskirts of New York City to meet together to decide the fate of the Rockefeller Center.
On October 30, 1989, the Rockefeller Group announced that it would resell 51 percent of its stake in Rockefeller Center to Japan's Mitsubishi Land Company, a leading real estate development company, for $846 million in cash.
Mitsubishi Fudosan Corporation is a member of Japan's "Mitsubishi Group" and is known as one of the leading real estate companies in Japan. Tokyo alone is home to 92 major office towers, most of which are located in Tokyo's famous business districts.
After the Rockefeller Center was bought by it, Mitsubishi Fudosan Corporation's chief manager Takagi Chuzaburo couldn't hold back his excitement. "Rockefeller Center is the most iconic corporate address in the world, and it's synonymous with excellence," he says. We hope to continue this tradition into the 21st century and, like the Rockefellers, make it the best city in the world and the most special place in New York City. ”
This Rockefeller Center, which was completed in the 30s, changed owners after the 90s. Rockefeller's descendants sold their ancestors' inheritance, which was a big rebel in the eyes of the Chinese.
The New York Times sighed even more, reporting the news on the front page.
The report said: When the Japanese arrived on Wall Street, important landscapes of the United States came into the hands of the Japanese. Less than a month after Sony acquired Columbia, Rockefeller Center was also attacked by Japan.
Anyone who has been to New York knows that Rockefeller Center has become an important symbol of urban civilization and a pinnacle of American national strength.
It is one of New York's most popular attractions, along with the Empire State Building, the United Nations Building, the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center. However, this "spiritual fortress" that integrated Radio City, Concert Hall, the Associated Press, the National Broadcasting Corporation, and the Life and Times Publishing Company was breached by the Japanese with economic cannons, which disturbed the Americans.
However, all of them, all of them, especially the fact that the Rockefeller family betrayed the Rockefeller Center, is now recalled by the Japanese, and they all feel that there are two testicles. Pills, sour to the point where they can't bear it.
What a big and deep pit this is.
If the Rockefeller family had not betrayed the Rockefeller Center, perhaps the Japanese would not have been so arrogant as to think that Tokyo had become the new center of the world.
The United States, once the core country of the world, has caused their stock market to soar for more than half a century since World War II.
And Japan has only risen for five years, what is it?
It is this kind of thinking that makes the Japanese careless, really careless.
They also don't want to think about how the Rockefeller family, which owns so many shares in the Federal Reserve, and the Rockefeller family, which owns so many oil fields, steel, and financial control in the world, could sell the family's spiritual core building, the Rockefeller Center, for a few hundred million dollars.
Pride makes a person backward, and rampant destroys a person.
The leader of shorting Japan this time is the Rockefeller family.
The Jews were the main force.
And Yan Qingyu is a giant crocodile hidden.
Shorting $20 billion may not seem comparable to the trillions of money gathered on Wall Street.
But Wall Street is the main force in sniping Japanese stocks, and although they are enjoying huge gains, they also have to pay for the sell-off process.
And Yan Qingyu is red. Naked and shameless followers to grab profits.
In the next ten whole days, all the people in the world's financial industry were in a state of floating in the clouds.
They would even involuntarily walk to Yan Qingyu's vicinity and worship the supreme god in their hearts with the eyes of faith.
That's right, gods.
With $20 billion as the base to build a short position, with five times the leverage to short, within ten days, the funds in their hands expanded to $200 billion.
At this time, Yan Qingyu decisively ordered the clearance.
In the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, he ushered in Rorenz who shook his head and smiled bitterly. Kadoorie.
"Xiao Yu, you really embarrassed us."
The old man Kadoorie looked at Yan Qingyu with complicated eyes and sighed.
Yan Qingyu shrugged and said, "I've already stopped." ”
Kadoorie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is really a wise choice, otherwise, you may even trigger a war of the century." ”
Yan Qingyu pursed her lips with some disdain and did not speak.
Seeing this, Kadoorie explained with some bitterness: "For this operation, from the President of the United States, to the entire Wall Street, to the giant crocodile families in the United States, and finally used the two aircraft carrier fleets of the United States, it took a whole few years. Do you know why we didn't want to tie your 20 billion with the Japanese in the first place? It's just that I'm worried about startling the snake. ”
Yan Qingyu's face was cold, not half embarrassed, and said: "The United States can at least sweep 20 trillion US dollars in Japan this time, since World War II, Japan's achievements in 30 years of hard work have been taken away by you." What is my little bit? (To be continued......)
