Chapter 585: Hollywood's Status (9)
When Shinzhi's call came to Sun Ziming's personal phone, he was about to open his mouth again, and yesterday Chen Huimin explained MPGE's technology clearly, and he discussed it with Hu Weiguo again. If you don't dig a piece of meat on the Japanese at this time, it's too sorry for such a good opportunity!
"Sun Sang, what did you think about my last mention?"
As soon as Sun Ziming heard the authentic Northeast dialect, he hurriedly signaled his screenwriter to go out for a while, and waited for the door to close before he smiled and said, "Shinzhijun, we've known each other for five years, right?" Do you think I'm such a stupid person? I also bought 500 million US dollars to buy your 30% junk shares, I have the energy, just make a few movies, or let my subordinates make two more, and I can earn everything back! Don't, don't mention your feelings to me, when you were in Dongbao, you stubbornly insisted that the box office share was only 47%, how much money did I lose in the past few years? β
Nobuyuki smiled wryly at the president, covered the microphone and said, "President, you'd better be mentally prepared, this is a greedy guy." β
The people in the conference room heard the answer from the loudspeaker, and they also felt that things might be more troublesome than Nobuyuki said.
After speaking, Shen Zhi opened the topic and said around the bend: "Sun Sang, when I was traveling in Shanghai some time ago, I was warmly welcomed by your classmates. Thank you so much, no, no, thank you very much. You are really nice to your classmate, he just came to Pudong to become the mayor of the town, and you immediately asked the Americans to invest in building a chip factory there. β
Sun Ziming reacted, this old boy could guess so quickly that he was the boss behind C-CUBE, it turned out that in addition to Hu Weiguo, he also went to the chip factory in Zhang Tao's jurisdiction.
However, Sun Ziming would not admit so happily, "Oh, that's it." There happened to be a few American friends in California who said they wanted to invest in China, so I took the lead. You also know that I have a lot of friends, and Zhang Tao's kid is my college classmate. Where do American friends invest instead of investing, they can invest in my classmates' territory, and they can worry a lot less, right? β
The two of them had a false and aggrieved relationship, and Shin Yuki took the initiative to mention the C-CUBE, he knew that if he didn't take the initiative, the kid would be able to talk nonsense to himself for a day.
"Sun San, we have known each other for five years, and we have spent too much time dealing with each other. You're an honest person, and you're a willing person to help your friends, and now that I'm working at Panasonic, can you help with the C-CUBE and don't let us talk to the Americans? β
"This and this", Sun Ziming pinched it for a while before complaining: "Shinnokun, you also helped a lot when Light and Shadow Company was able to enter the Japanese film market. I've always thought of you, but it's not as simple as you think. The Americans have made MPEG the technical standard in the United States, and my friends have also gone through a series of interest transactions. β
Everyone is happy, and sure enough, that kid is the boss behind C-CUBE, and now it's time to see how much price he can make Americans get out of this chain of interests. The president immediately wrote a note and asked someone to hand it to Nobu.
"Sun Sang, I have a chip factory in Pudong, can you transfer a certain amount of shares to us? You can rest assured that we can sit down and talk about all the conditions. β
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then Sun Ziming's answer came, "Shinzhijun, I thought about your mention last time." In my ability, I think that the shares of Universal should be gifted, not transferred, what do you think? β
Shinzhi's face darkened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Sun Sang, my last mention has already made you nearly a billion dollars, people can't be too greedy?" β
Sun Ziming didn't give an inch: "No, I'm helping you, helping you quickly stabilize Universal, implement your reform plan, and make Universal the best company in Hollywood again, not to mention that I take advantage of you to suffer!" Toho and I are partners, and I don't have a relationship with Panasonic, so if we want to cooperate, we will give priority to Colombia. That's it, I still have something to do, goodbye! β
The blind sound of 'Dudu Dudu' made Shinzhi can't help but curse the sentence 'Bage', and deeply regret his mistake. If the United States tries to find out the C-CUBE on its own, it should not rush to the results, but let the negotiators talk to his subordinates, which may not give him a chance to open his mouth.
Nobuyuki thinks this is his own mistake, and others don't think so, but instead think that the president has a discerning eye, and invites Shinyuki, who is idle at home, to invite him, and to exclude the House of Representatives to entrust him with important responsibilities, which is simply a wise and martial move.
How important is it to get a patent for MPEG? As long as you get it, you can have an advantage in the competition with Sony, and even more so the Americans' products. GCA Electronics? It is just an OEM company, and if it wants to grow to the scale and technological level of Panasonic and Sony, there will be no ten or even twenty years to pose no threat to Panasonic!
As for Universal's shares, it is indeed distressing enough, even if the price was too high at the time of acquisition, but now it is worth nearly 1.2 billion US dollars! Everyone in the conference room looked at the president, and only he could decide.
The president also found it difficult to find it difficult to be a middle-level employee of the president's office, and he knew the importance of talents to the company, especially those with leadership qualities.
More than a year after the acquisition of Universal, Japan's management model was completely unsuitable, and even layoffs could not be implemented. In desperation, he found Shinyuki, who contributed to the development of Dongbao, and asked him to preside over the overall situation in the world. In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to find light and shadow to cooperate and create a brilliant ZΓ o Toho style again. Toho, it turns out to be similar to Kadokawa's paintings, but it's only a little bit. Today's Toho is a well-deserved boss in the Japanese film and television industry, and has extended its tentacles to Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia!
It's just that he didn't expect that the cooperation with light and shadow would have to pay such a high price, and it would be mixed up with MPEG!
After a moment of silence, the president decided to take care of things one by one, and deal with the affairs of Universal first, and then talk about negotiations with C-CUBE.
"Shin Zhi-kun, if you give away the shares to Sun Sang, how sure are you that Universal will become the best film company in Hollywood?"
Zhi/That person became Sun Sang, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Eighty!" President, Sun Sang's reputation in this area is very good, when I agreed to cooperate with him, although the negotiation was very difficult, but after reaching a cooperation agreement, how fast Toho developed, you can see! Toho's domestic box office is already twice that of Kadokawa Pictures, and it has also smoothly participated in the construction projects of film and television bases and theaters in Chinese mainland, unlike Kadokawa Pictures, which can only shrink into the small Japanese archipelago. β
Eighty percent, then you must invest heavily, and the president looked at the others again. Entering Hollywood, in addition to satisfying the vanity of the people, making money is the main purpose. Not to mention making those movies with a box office of two or three hundred million US dollars, even if the input-output ratio reaches a few points, it is much more profitable than doing business, and the capital turnover speed is fast, and it can also improve the influence of the brand.
The president's idea also represents the idea of other people, to deal with the affairs of the world first, otherwise there is no possibility of advancing the matter with C-CUBE.
Besides, Panasonic has come to today's scale, and there is no longer a big breakthrough in the electronics industry, and if you want to develop greater, you can only diversify, and one of the strategic goals is the cultural and entertainment industry. Sony bought Columbia and placed ads in their films, and the brand value surpassed that of Panasonic in a blink of an eye. It can be seen that the path is right, but there are no competent talents in my company to develop the already troubled world.
Now the new Shinnokun offers an idea - to find reinforcements, but the asking price of this reinforcement is really high. None of you here, including the president, have the right to decide, but can only submit it to the Board of Directors.
Seeing that everyone had no different opinions, the president ordered: "Shinzhi-kun, you immediately go back to the United States and discuss the film company with Sun Sang." We have a result, and we have to trouble you to act as a negotiator and be responsible for dealing with C-CUBE. Hashimoto, pick a careful female employee to go over and be the assistant and liaison to that Sun San. β
"Hi (hi)", Nobuyuki immediately bowed, and the president acquiesced, otherwise he wouldn't have said 'the result has been achieved'.
Although the president is the heir of the late Matsushita-sama, he controls the company's board of directors, and he has to re-evaluate the current assets of the global company and the expected benefits of Nobuyuki's reform plan according to the procedure, and then arrange for someone to negotiate with Light and Shadow before finally making a decision. Of course, Nobuyuki knew that he could go and negotiate in detail with the damned, greedy Sun Sang, and use his banner to quickly stabilize the world and further perfect his reform plan. As soon as the results are available, we can quickly push forward the reform and quickly revitalize the world.
Nobuyuki returned to the United States overnight, and when he found Sun Ziming, the greedy character in his mind was dancing and hugging a down-and-out white man.
"Jonathan, you're a talent, how did you come up with this idea?"
"Oh God, you are so merciful! Ming, you're so discerning!
Jonathan, whose beard was longer than his hair, was ecstatic and shouted excitedly as he hugged Sun Ziming. He took the script of "Escape from the Magic Age" and found more than a dozen independent film companies, but none of them took a fancy to it. Finally, his classmate USC classmate independent producer Larry Franco, Jianyì himself came to try his luck with light and shadow, and a few days after the script was sent, he didn't expect China Ming to personally call him over.
"Boss, the guest is here."
"Wait a minute", Sun Ziming also hugged Jonathan and smiled, he read the script for seven or eight days, and finally found a golden bean that is not too big or small.
"Alright, Jonathan, there's a guest coming, I'm going to be out of company. If you don't mind, talk to my assistant Douglas. Douglas, you come and talk to Mr. Jonathan and see what kind of cooperation he chooses. β
"Ok, Mr. Jonathan, please come here", Douglas hurriedly took the excited Jonathan to the next office. God, this guy is going to be developed, and the North American box office is divided into five thousandths, which is enough to make him a little rich!
Shin'ichi greeted his grandson Ming while looking enviously at the scruffy white man and the flow of people coming in and out of the big office of the screenwriting department. It is estimated that this guy sent a good script just now, just waiting for Sun Sang to pick out a suitable director and shoot the movie.
Hey, Sun Sang's brand convergence effect has emerged, and all kinds of talents have begun to take the initiative to come over.
Sun Ziming made a cup of tea with his own hands, interrupted Shinzhi's reverie, and said with a smile: "Shinzhijun, it's no problem for me to go over and do business for a few days." However, have you ever thought that if I suddenly left the world in anger, it would make you more passive, and even the situation would not necessarily take a turn for the worse. β
Shinyuki smiled and said, "Sun San, do you know how fierce the competition within Panasonic Co., Ltd. is?" There are no less than ten people staring at this position. Do you think I'm going to do something I'm not sure about? β
Sun Ziming hehe Zhile, "Shinzhi-kun, I think you are at least twenty years younger after you came to the United States!" β
"Hey, hey, follow the locals"
It's not, power is an aphrodisiac, it's it that makes people younger.
