There was a notebook next to the book, a printed version bound to the thickness of a thumb, and she was holding the phone while writing something on the notebook in front of her: "Not many people know about the acquisition of Marvel, if it weren't for the news from New York, many people at the headquarters would still be in the dark!" However, he has revealed it to his henchmen before, so the president-level executives will know a little bit! ”

"What about you?"

"Of course I know, there's nothing to hide!" Nobuyuki Idei smiled, put down his pen, picked up the phone and sat up straight and said, "Of course, I only know a rough idea!" He bought Marvel to shoot movies and TV series, but considering that Marvel Entertainment was placed in Chenxing Culture Group, it may also be made into a game! ”

"Games?" This is something that Nobuyuki Idei has not considered, when he thinks that online games are popular in China, "Legend of Blood", "Miracle", "Stone Age" and other online games under Chenxing Entertainment make a lot of money, stirring up the blood of the Korean game industry, he can't help but heat his eyes.

Maybe he should call Howard? Stringer raises compensation prices?

“…… Father? Father? Have you listened to me? On the other side, Idei Ayaka was disgusted.

"Uh...... I'm thinking about something, you say, I'm listening! Nobuyuki Idei smiled. Originally, he was still thinking about making Howard? Stringer raised the price and even developed PSP-exclusive games for Marvel superheroes, but he thought that this path would not work: because Sony only had the film and television adaptation rights of those superheroes, but not the game adaptation rights!

It's a pity!

Idei Ayaka said, "Why are you asking about this? ”

Nobuyuki Idei briefly said Song Chen's request, and Idei Ayaka was surprised: "I'm ready to talk to you about this matter before I bought Marvel?" Can't wait! ”

"Yes! It seems that he is interested in bringing superheroes to the screen, but doesn't he know that this kind of film is very expensive to make? Speaking of this, Nobuyuki Idei sighed in surprise, "Perhaps, we never know what his aura eyes are thinking!" ”

After all, it's a man who is willing to be a concubine! Idei Ayaka said proudly: "One thing I can tell you, he is not only interested in Marvel. Also hoping to be able to buy Marvel's old rival DC Comics from Time Warner, and even Pixar Animation, the chairman of the board of directors two years ago, Steve? Jobs had already agreed two years ago! ”

Song Chen's ambition is really amazing, there is no news of such an amazing news at all! Nobuyuki Idei gasped: "...... Are you sure? ”

Idei Ayaka said abruptly: "Of course, otherwise why do you think he keeps so much cash?" Put it in the bank to eat interest? It's not certain if Time Warner will let go of the DC Comics matter, but Pixar Animation has sensitive technology, so he will wait until after the change of nationality to implement it! Dad, don't say it! ”

"I know how serious things are, you're my daughter after all!" Nobuyuki Idei smiled, and at the same time thought to himself: Even if I reveal it. What's in it for me and the Sony Group? Embarrassing her daughter in vain!

"By the way, how are you doing with Sony Group now?" Idei Ayaka's voice suddenly became low.

"Of course!" Of course, Nobuyuki Idei won't tell the truth, he laughed, "If it's because of your decision that makes it difficult for me, then don't think so now!" While most Japanese people don't want to think so, here's the thing: your man is an amazing Asian hero right now! His appearance is one of the few white-dominated international communities in centuries that needs to be confronted! ”

"Father's ......"

Idei Ayaka squirmed her lips, of course she knew that her father was insincere, after all, it was a society of "global village era", and the affairs of the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere would know about it immediately. Vice versa.

In 2000, Nobuyuki Idei proposed to create a "Sony Dream World" in the broadband era; In 2001, he further proposed that Sony should transform into a "personal channel network solutions company"; At the beginning of 2002, Nobuyuki Idei proposed that Sony become a "media and technology company......

Sony is like the blue giant with deep feet in the mud. The difference is that Gerstner, who was hired by IBM, succeeded in making "elephants dance", while Nobuyuki Idei lost his way in the Sony Group's huge product line......

Actually, Shinyuki Idei's father and daughter are clear to everyone. What Sony Group needs most now is accurate judgment, which is precisely where Song Chen is the strongest! However, Song Chen would rather hint at Nobuyuki Idei to perform his duties at the Chenxing Group than help his father-in-law come up with a wise business decision. On the one hand, it is true that Sony Group is full of mountains and has a bloated decision-making mechanism, which can be solved by a mere "transformation"; On the other hand, it can only be explained by the position of each other!

Like Samsung, Chenxing Technology is Sony Entertainment's biggest competitor!

As early as 1997, Sony was the first to realize that digital music is the trend of the future, but because it has not been able to solve the digital copyright problem, it has been too slow to act, and finally can only watch Chenxing Technology's iPod take over, and the Walkman has no ability to fight back in front of the Ipod!

Howard? When Stringer was president of Sony America, he pointed out: "Sony's executives are too concerned about the copyright protection of digital music, and we missed the best market opportunity, but Chenxing Technology has seized it, it's as simple as that!" ”

IRONICALLY, SONY MUSIC, AS A SUBSIDIARY, HAS GRADUALLY RELIED ON CHENXING TECHNOLOGY'S ITUNES BUSINESS TO COMPLETE THE TRANSFORMATION FROM INDUSTRIAL MUSIC TO DIGITAL MUSIC! It is foreseeable that once Song Chen's Marvel film and television plan is successfully launched, even if the two sides cooperate in distribution rights, Chenxing's film company will maintain a low-intensity competition with Sony Pictures, just like the Hollywood giants are both cooperating and confrontational!

"Hehe, don't mention me! How are you? Listen to your mother, you've been busy with your 'homework' lately? Nobuyuki Idei deliberately accentuated his tone in his homework.

AKAKA IDEI SMILED AND SAID, "OF COURSE, HE GAVE ME AND KAORI HAYAKAWA A BUSINESS PROJECT, LET US AND OTHER COLLEAGUES MAKE A BUSINESS PLAN, WHOEVER HAS A MORE DETAILED AND OPERATIONAL PLAN WILL BE A LARGE INTERNET COMPANY COMPARABLE TO GOOGLE!" ”

“GOOGLE？” Nobuyuki Idei was stunned for a moment, "This is a digital advertising company with a promising future, is he so sure?" ”

"yes!"

Nobuyuki Idei pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Does he really have the ability to foresee the future?" ”

Idei Ayaka smiled and said, "I don't care if he's a wizard who can tell fortunes or not!" Father, when I become the CEO of this company, I will ask you to help me! ”

"Oh, I can't play with you young people!" Nobuyuki Idei sighed, "What about marriage!" ”

"Oh, that's it! He didn't reveal anything, he only knew that it was this year, and he didn't even know where the venue was! The mysterious ......"

The night became even more blurry, and Idei Ayaka's words came out of the window, and there was only a faint laughter, showing that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

……

On March 26, 2002, CEOs of websites and companies such as China.com, Xinhuanet, Qianlong.com, Sina.com, Sohu.com, 263 Group, and Chenxing Network gathered in the Taiwan Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beiping to sign the "Self-Discipline Convention of China's Internet Industry" as the first batch of units to "purify" the Internet.

And on the same day, the New York government was unusually efficient in approving the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment by Chenxing Culture Group. Perlmut and Song Chen signed an acquisition agreement at a 50% premium per share on the closing price of $3.71 on the 22nd, bringing the total purchase price to $500 million.

In front of hundreds of domestic and foreign journalists, Song Chen announced the appointment of Ike? Perlmut is the president of Chenxing Culture Group, with overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the group; Allan? Vane took over as CEO of Marvel Entertainment, while Ivey? Arad became the CEO of the new company, Chenxing Pictures.

Not only Marvel Entertainment has made moves, but taking this opportunity, Song Chen began to promote the merger of Chenxing Games and VALVE, which will be affiliated to Chenxing Games as a studio and maintain a relatively independent status like the Chinese headquarters.

TURNED OUT TO BE BY VALVE CEO GABE? Newell has lost his nominal title of "President of Chenxing Culture Group" and his administrative status is one level lower, but he and his colleagues have been rewarded accordingly, and are now concentrating on the development of single-player games such as "Half-Life" and the game engine that Song Chen attaches great importance to.

In this way, Chenxing Culture Group has four subsidiaries under the jurisdiction of Chenxing Games, Chenxing Entertainment, Marvel Entertainment and Chenxing Pictures in preparation, especially the establishment of Chenxing Pictures, which directly exposed the purpose of Song Chen's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment!

A later incident confirmed their speculation: First of all, Sony Entertainment, the president of Sony Entertainment North America, Howard? Stringer agreed with Chenxing Culture Group to take back the adaptation rights previously licensed to Sony Pictures, including the upcoming "Spider-Man." As compensation, Chenxing Culture Group not only has to pay up to $130 million in compensation, but also obtains the distribution rights of as many as ten films of Chenxing Pictures!

This high price made public opinion dumbfounded, and many people thought that Song Chen had lost his mind and paid a price equivalent to a quarter of the total value of Marvel Entertainment and the distribution rights of ten movies in the future in order to get back the copyright lost by Marvel!

But soon, people once again witnessed Song Chen's genius vision: "Spider-Man" won $420 million in North America and $840 million at the global box office!

This unexpected result also didn't let Nobuyuki Idei and Howard? Stringer was blamed because, in a sense, the interests of the nascent Chenxing Pictures and Sony Pictures were already tied. (To be continued......)
