Chapter 583: Hollywood's Status (7)

Sun Ziming toasted a cup of tea and said quietly: "Shinzhijun, what do you think I am worth?" ”

Shinzhi's eyes flashed with brilliance, Sun Ziming's talent in movies, he knows best, and he also watched him go from a small Hong Kong director to today. As long as this kid is willing to cooperate with others, all Hollywood film companies will not hesitate to sell him shares, or even give him shares. It's a pity that this kid just likes to eat alone, and he can't plug in the light and shadow, and he can't splash the water, and every dollar he earns flows into his own pocket.

"Sun San, if I were Panasonic-sama, I would give you the shares of Universal, but unfortunately I'm not, hehe."

Nobuyuki's compliment reminded Sun Ziming of the red that C-CUBE has given him in the past few months, and it is better to exchange it for the shares of Universal Company, which is a money printing machine anyway, "In this way, I will not take advantage of you, 500 million US dollars to buy 30% of your shares, and serve as your vice chairman and general manager of production." ”

'Sizzle', even if Shinzhi was a little mentally prepared, he didn't expect Sun Ziming to be able to open his mouth so loudly, if this guy doesn't work, it is equivalent to making more than a billion dollars from his hands. Sun Tzu knew the old fox's concerns, so he didn't care and said: "You should gamble, the world is only worth 4 billion, but you yourself raised it to 6 billion, and I still have to pay for your stupidity at the beginning?" ”

Shinzhi's face was extremely exciting, and after changing his face for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Sun Sang, it is impossible for the board of directors to agree." ”

"That's your business, Shinnokun, if you have something to help personally, I will definitely reach out, I don't have a relationship with Panasonic Co., Ltd.! Okay, you think about it slowly, I'll go first. Thank you for visiting you today and letting me find the inspiration to make a lot of money while using my full abilities. ”

Seeing that his grandson got up without speculation, Shinzhi couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he had to send him out of the building. When parting, Shinzhi grabbed him again and said in a low voice: "Sun Sang, give me a real price, your price is too outrageous." ”

Sun Ziming shook his head without hesitation, glanced at the art-like logo sculpture, and said proudly: "It's not outrageous at all, there are hundreds of Hollywood film companies, and my company has three films in the top five at the box office this year, and at least three next year." Shinnokun, the strength of the company is not such a beautiful and magnificent building and office, but its profitability. ”

Shinzhi and Sun Ziming's black lengthened bulletproof Cadillac car went away, and sighed dejectedly, if he was the president, he would agree to such outrageous conditions, but unfortunately he was not. Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" is just a prologue, and maybe that big director will be like James Cameron and become that kid's partner in the future.

Nobuyuki is not an ordinary person, he has witnessed the rise of Sony and Panasonic, once the aggregation effect of the brand is formed, all the resources will take the initiative to find the door, and then the company will develop faster and faster, until it becomes a giant. Light and shadow company is already the most profitable company in Hollywood, his grandson Ming has become a golden signboard, as long as he no longer excludes resources outside the company as before, he will immediately form a brand aggregation effect, and quickly become a new giant in Hollywood!

Sun Ziming won't wait, after leaving the world, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea, and when he returned to the company, he immediately found George and Jiang Peng to discuss, and said triumphantly: "What do you think?" ”

George looked at Sun Ziming like a fool for a long time before he asked, "Boss, are you familiar with the bosses of other film companies?" Why do they believe that after selling you shares at a low price, you will give them the best script, the idea, and not your own company? ”

Jiang Peng didn't see it that way, and immediately retorted: "No, George, it's impossible for other companies, it's possible for Universal!" Universal's problem is that the organization is bloated, and high administrative expenses eat up the vast majority of profits. Panasonic is also an outsider, and the president they sent does not have enough prestige, so he can settle the internal intertwined relationships in a short period of time, and carry out streamlining and reorganization to reduce administrative costs. As soon as Boss moves into Universal and takes charge of their production department, their new president will be able to rely on Boss's prestige to clean up the interior and enforce cost control that is unique to the Japanese. The boss's talent and prestige are undoubted, they just need to bet on whether the boss will play tricks and deliberately trick them! ”

Sun Zi Mingle looked at Jiang Peng happily, he really didn't think about it so much, it was hard for him to analyze it in such detail and reasonable.

"So what are the chances?"

Jiang Peng thought for a while, stretched out three fingers and said, "Brother Ming, three percent, at most three percent." You take advantage of others too much, and your assets of 17.8 billion yuan are only worth 500 million yuan in your mouth, and no one can stand it. Nobuyuki knows that you can endure greatness, but his boss doesn't understand you. ”

George also nodded yes again and again, but he had a new idea, and he had a similar opinion to Nobuyuki, "Boss, you can't always focus on making movies, you have to coordinate the film and television production of the whole group." For example, use your judgment of the market to select a good script, and then find a good director to shoot. You're alone, and you can make two movies a year, and you can't afford a major film company! ”

Jiang Peng also chimed in: "George is right, now that the company is firmly established, you can't always use yourself as a director." You take pictures of the film, and the choreographer can't always throw it to Chris, he doesn't have your vision. ”

Hey, to put it so lightly, no matter how good the script is, if you can't find a suitable director or actor, it's just a script; No matter how good the director and actor are, they will smash the movie. To make a good movie, the script, the director, and the actors can't go wrong!

Sun Ziming's complaints, George and the others deeply agreed, and the only people in the entire Hollywood who can do this may be two or three big directors such as his boss and Spielberg, "Boss, so you put forward such conditions to the Japanese, and he doesn't think you are crazy?" ”

This is a serious business, Sun Ziming had no choice but to do the work that Wang Fatzi and others often do, and began to face those unambitious screenwriters and directors in Hollywood.

Just when Sun Ziming began to fall into the sea of scripts and creativity, Nobuyuki Izui was also looking at the real sea under the plane.

As soon as Sun Tzu Ming left the world, Nobuyuki immediately called Japan to report, but was regarded as a fool by his colleagues in the president's office. $500 million to buy $1.8 billion in assets, even if that person is a genius, so what? If Nobuyuki hadn't told them about Sun Ziming's other identity, the chairman of C-CUBE in the United States, I am afraid that in a short period of time, this matter would have become a big joke in Panasonic Corporation.

Hey, Panasonic is also sick with a large company, just like the world he took over. The Americans built a chip factory in Shanghai, which happened to be built on the territory of Sun Sang's sworn friend, and the CEO of Hanhua Electronics was another sworn friend of Sun Sang. Stretch sighed, tightened the small blanket on his body, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

A $500 million acquisition of 30% of the shares will certainly not pass, but if it is tied to a patent transfer, it is estimated that the president will consider it. C-CUBE's digital compression technology is too much of a headache for them, and Panasonic's research institute is the best in the world, but they can't find a way to circumvent the patent, and all the roads are blocked by those gangs. If they don't get their patents, the company can only buy American chips at a high price, and the cost of the product cannot be controlled.

What's even more troublesome is that the Americans actually persuaded Britain, France and Germany and other major European countries to let them also adopt the MPEG standard of C-CUBE, which means that Panasonic may be excluded from the global audio-visual product market because of the high price of its products, which is unacceptable to the company anyway.

More than ten hours later, Shinyuki returned to Tokyo, and instead of reporting to the president for the first time, he went to his old subordinate Uei to do so.

Nobuyuki is a very generous person, and when he was in Toho, he had a favor for Uei, and he turned a blind eye to his private acceptance of commissions. Therefore, Uei has always been very respectful of Shinyuki, and specially received this old man in his mansion with clear water sources.

Although Uei's mansion is luxurious, it is not yet in the eyes of Nobuyuki, and after drinking a cup of tea, he immediately smiled and said: "Uejing-kun, my time is very tight, so I can't be rude." I want you to go to the United States and talk to Mr. Sun Ziming about the transfer of MPEG patents. ”

Uei looked at Nobuyuki in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Nobuyuki, is C-CUBE Sun-san's company?" Could you be mistaken? Its chairman is a Taiwanese named Sun Yansheng! ”

"It can't be wrong, he confessed it to my face."

Yes? Uei was dumbfounded when he heard this, he is now the head of the president's office and knows all the high-level things. Sony is also talking to C-CUBE about this, but the other party's conditions are very high, involving the transfer of a number of core technologies, and the two sides are stuck there. Besides, Sony is the major shareholder of Toho, so Mr. Shinyuki won't be in a hurry, right?

However, Shinyuki was kind to Uei, and he had no choice but to say euphemistically: "Shinyuki-sama, you overestimated me." Sun Sang and I have a good relationship, and in the past few years, I have made a lot of money in the financial market, but it is not the kind of friend you think, but a subordinate relationship. Nobuyuki-sama, even if the C-CUBE company is Sun San's, he won't listen to me, and I don't have that qualification? You don't know him? When he didn't have the strength, he dared to break up with Dongbao, and now he has so much strength, if he doesn't ask for a price, then he won't be Sun Sang. ”

Nobuyuki shook his head and said, "Ueui-kun, you underestimate yourself too much." You are now the head of Toho's president's office, and you are very good friends with Sun San. What if you sue Sony, the owner of C-CUBE is someone else? ”

Uei's eyes narrowed, and he finally knew the intention of Shinyuki, who was nothing more than wanting Sony to stimulate Panasonic and blackmail the thief with self-respect. But everything has a price, Lord Shinzhi doesn't have much money, and Sun Sang can afford the price he can pay. If Sun Sang knew that he had leaked the secrets of C-CUBE, he would have lost all of this. Sun Sang kept the C-CUBE so secretive, he must have had his plans!

Seeing his familiar cowardice, Shin Zhicai told Sun Ziming about wanting to take a stake in Universal, tempting him: "Sun Sang only said that he wanted to take a stake in Global, maybe he still wants to take a stake in Columbia?" You're helping him! ”

Uei said uncertainly, "Nobuyuki-sama, what do you mean?" ”

Shinyuki put down the teacup, shook his head, and denied: "I don't mean anything, I just think that you are his good friend and a senior executive of Toho, and you should contribute to your major shareholder." Well, thank you for your hospitality, I'll take my leave first. ”

Seeing off Nobuyuki, Uei returned to the living room and was silent for a while, before finally picking up the phone.

Although Sony Corporation is the majority shareholder of Toho, so what? The position of the head of his president's office is Toho's, not Sony's, and the controlling shareholder is the president. Besides, Sony bought Columbia, and wanted them to use some Japanese actors, and let the stars of the company go to Hollywood to be gilded, didn't they just refuse? As long as he hugged Sun Sang's thighs tightly, he knew best what he could get.

When Sun Ziming received a call from Uejing, he was in the company talking about the script with two young screenwriters who took the initiative to defect. Hearing what Shangjing said on the phone, Sun Ziming hurriedly got up and went to his office to call back to China, he really didn't care much about Hu Weiguo's negotiations, and he didn't understand those things.

"Weiguo, the technologies you are asking for transfer, is there such a far gap between Sony and Panasonic?"

"No, it's all the same, aren't you and Dongbao partners? Their president asked Uncle Zeng to come forward, so he always had to give some face, right? ”

That's okay, Sun Ziming said about his own side, hung up the phone, and called Chen Huimin to come to his office.

Nobuyuki's old fox is really yin enough, in order to let their company's board of directors get through his mention, he actually asked Sony to support him. However, this seems to be nothing, the old fox is worthy of being Japanese, and he dares to do anything for what he thinks is right.

But it's okay if you can become the largest individual shareholder of Universal, not only can you borrow other people's chickens to lay eggs for yourself, but also install a lot of Asian actors, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that a VCD patented technology, is it that important?

Sun Ziming is a liberal arts student, and he really doesn't understand the doorway. But he knew that when Claudia found this technology, it began to bring him more and more benefits.
