Halloween came at the end of October as scheduled, wearing glasses and holding a magic wand to make Harry Potter state costumes, while Jin Yu and Qing Yu were wearing small peaked hats of different colors and holding a small broom in their hands, which is a classic little witch.

Gather the other friends who came to visit, and under the leadership of Jinyu's ghost elf, I went to the neighbor's house around and asked for a bunch of candy back.

When the night falls, the pumpkin lanterns made by Chen Bo himself are lit, and then decorated with decorations that set off the atmosphere, and this HomeParty officially begins.

"Big brother, which character are you pretending to be?" Chen Bo looked at Jobs standing in front of him in surprise, with a high-necked black sweater and jeans that had not changed for thousands of years. And what kind of clown, demon, superman, Spider-Man and other cartoon shapes, the worst of which you have to wear a mask, right?

"Of course I'm Steve Jobs, no one looks like me, right?"

"Damn...... Why don't you have an emperor's new clothes? ”

"I don't have the size of you." Jobs, who couldn't drink, took a sip of a bottle of soda and said, "What's wrong with your orange, I've waited for half a year and there is no movement, which makes me so lonely!" ”

"Isn't it time for you to be lonely two years ago?" Chen Bo said disdainfully in the face of his provocation, "I'm afraid that you will cry when the time comes." ”

"Is apples delicious or oranges more delicious? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, don't let me down. Have you used Sony's Alkman? It's just weak. ”

"The iPod seems to me to be weak too." Chen Bo smiled and said, "You just wait for my challenge." ”

……

The Halloween party is novel and interesting, the most popular among children, in the careful dress of several women in a variety of strange costumes through the crowd, although naughty, but such a scene is also the most lively.

Most of the friends invited today have children, Spielberg is not young, but the children are not big, and they are only elementary school.

There are also older children, like Ellison, who came with his son David and daughter Meg, because he also had his own big mansion in Malibu

But what he didn't expect was a software tycoon whose database was sold all over the world, but his children were quite interested in the film industry, and Chen Bo pushed the next "nephew" and "niece" who were only three years younger than him.

Ellison wasn't without ties to Hollywood, and his ship, the Rising Sun, which had nowhere to dock in the Bay Area, was eventually sold to DreamWorks third-man David Geffen. Obviously, there are still a lot of relationships, and he doesn't know whether his artistic attainments are true or false, but he still believes in Chen Bo's ability to make money, and by the way, he threw an investment of 300 million US dollars in Legendary Entertainment in the name of his children, accounting for a small share.

Although in terms of character, it is not very popular with Silicon Valley, but at least it is quite generous to his children.

On the premise of obtaining his consent, Chen Bo used him as the prototype to authorize Jon Favreau to make the first "Iron Man" in the Marvel Universe, and invited him to make a cameo. Commercial films, there should be more entertainment elements, and the more topics, the better.

Geffen, who is also one of his neighbors, is an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, but he also has a prominent label of Gay, and he has been out of the closet for many years. Although he did not get involved in the management of DreamWorks early on and made a lot of money from it, his status in Hollywood is still quite high, whether it is in the film industry or the music industry.

Chen Bo dragged Gefen, who was wearing a devil's mask and dressed as a villain, to a corner to talk to him about a "small business." ”

"David, I heard you're buying The New York Times?" Chen Bo took a sip of wine and said, "I helped you inquire about Suzberg's meaning by the way, that stubborn old man didn't mean to let go at all, I'm afraid your $2 billion offer won't be able to impress him." ”

"Vincent, just say what you think." He has been in Hollywood for many years, and he has never experienced anything. And born in the slums of Brooklyn, New York, he is no stranger to the Sulzberg family, so he needs to be kindly reminded?

"I'm planning to buy a record label and we can join forces." Now that he knows, Chen Bo will no longer detour.

"Physical records aren't making money right now, and there are a lot of loss-making companies, which isn't a good deal." The top of Geffen's bare head glowed in the dim light, but compared to Katzenberg's head shape of a braised egg, he was not at all in a pulped state.

"Did I say I wanted to make a physical record?" Chen Bo smiled and pointed to Jobs in the crowd and said, "Don't you see that old man, he has to fight with me." With the fame of Apple products, I honestly can't fight it, but I can win from the content side. Internet music is the mainstay, followed by physical records. Isn't my win rate much easier? ”

"That's a good idea, but why should I help you?" Geffen is also a human spirit, why would he do something that is not beneficial?

"I will complete the privatization of Maidong Music in the near future, and then merge and reorganize into the Ju Company to establish the electronic entertainment division, a strong Internet resource platform and a music content supply chain, is it difficult? And it also means that you will get a stake in Orange Technology. I need your gold production status and unmatched talent in the Hollywood music scene, and you can reap the huge benefits ahead. ”

The main market of Maidong Music is now in East Asia, Europe and the United States only provide music communities and search functions, and the profits are limited.

Although the explosive growth of CRBT in the three East Asian countries in the past two years has indeed brought considerable benefits, it has not had a great impact on the pattern of the whole world. Why can my player only be sold here? And the iPod is sold all over the world?

Since I want to implement a unified global branding product strategy, I need to be more thorough, and the establishment of a global electronic entertainment division and merging music websites is only the first step, waiting for the right time to merge Legendary Entertainment into the past, which can become a complete link.

The logo of Orange Technology is a cross-section of an orange petal cut in half, which is similar to the bite of an apple, and it also shows his ambition from the details.

"Do you want to buy American Radio Records or Hollywood Records?" Geffen asked, a little moved.

"No, these companies are too pediatric." Chen Bo shook his head, "My goals are only four!" ”

Originally, it was one of the world's five largest record companies, but last year, Sony and Bestaman merged to form Sony BMG, and there was one less.

Sony Entertainment's ambitions are not covered, yesterday swallowed Bestman, today swallowed MGM, the music and film industry occupies four globally influential brands.

Although it only owns 50% of Sony BMG, the combined music record company will also have an annual revenue of a staggering $5 billion, firmly in the top spot, and most importantly, the pop music king Michael Jackson was recruited by them, and in order to get this big name, they had to pay part of the equity to win his heart.

Although the belated Alkman style does not agree, with the strong support of the copyright library, it is still possible to wrestle with the iPod in the high-end market, and due to copyright factors, it has also affected Maidong Music somewhat, and the increase in cost expenditure will inevitably cause a decline in profits.

However, the strong performance of the CRBT market has covered up this dilemma on the direct revenue sheet, but it can't escape their eyes, and it is imminent to have a record company of its own, and it is completely insufficient to only have domestic Galaxy Music.

"EMI Momoyo? The situation of this company is not very good, and there is still room for maneuver. Geffen is quite familiar with the current music market situation, and he is quick to say.

Chen Bo still shook his head, "Although EMI EMI is deeply rooted in the UK, how can it compare to Universal Music, which is in the limelight in Hollywood." ”

"Your ambition is too great, that's Vivendi's heart."

"If it weren't for Vivendi's massive cross-border acquisitions, it might not have gotten into debt, isn't that an opportunity?"

Does the name Vivendi sound familiar? That's right, they are not only the parent company of Universal Music, but also the big owner of Blizzard Entertainment, the second shareholder of Universal Pictures. At the same time, it also has pay TV channels Channel+, BBC and Moroc Telecom, Telecom Italia and many others.

But until '98 their company was called "General Water", they were indeed a French waterworks, and now they have transformed into a giant multinational media conglomerate.

The traditional water service has been renamed "Veolia", which is more familiar, right? Two years ago, the tap water pollution incident in a western city in China came from this company.

Despite investing in so many companies, Vivendi has lost more than 40 billion euros because of their widely criticized disorderly expansion and hostile takeovers. Acquire almost any business that is good, and it doesn't matter if you want it or not, hostile takeovers are their most common tactics.

However, in order to reduce the debt burden, they sold 80 percent of Universal Pictures, which they acquired in 2000, to General Electric, and merged with its NBC television network to form what is now NBCUniversal.

Although Universal Music was born from Universal Pictures, it has long been separated, and there are countless big names under it. The world's three major tenors, the prince of piano, Maxim, these classical music copyrights are in his hands, rap genius Eminem, Black Eyed Pea, Bon Jovi, Rehanna and so on represent American pop music.

Moreover, Polygram Records is also its label, and the copyrights of Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, and Eason Chan are also in their hands.

Even all the music rights to Disney Animation are in their hands, not to mention the soundtracks of Universal Pictures.

Of course, such a major company is worth buying, even if Geffen has no waves in his dreams, he will wake up drooling and laughing, right?
