In the three months since he came to Los Angeles, Chen Jun has been busy almost every day, and to be honest, he doesn't even have a lot of time to warm up.

Taking control of Corleone's empire puts a lot of pressure on him.

He is now shifting the focus of the Corleone family's business to the West, selling off the family's vast wealth and dark assets in East New York.

In these many investment and acquisition cases, fortunately, he has the foresight from later generations and the professional elite talents given to him by the old godfather, so that he can advance in an orderly and parallel manner.

These companies in all walks of life, either made a career or did not make a career, or they were controlled, or they were fully acquired, will bring explosive wealth to the Corleone family with the rapid development of the American economy after World War II.

For example, for Coca-Cola, PepsiCola's investment holding is purely a long-term mentality of holding stocks, and now Coca-Cola almost carves up 70% of the Coke share, which belongs to the beverage giant, and the bullish market in the market has increased significantly, and it is good to be able to participate in the purchase.

In addition to the food and beverage field, Chen Jun also invested in the financial field, holding several investment companies led by Goldman Sachs that are now faintly promising, but only holding, finance is too professional, he can't play and wait for it to rise.

And he built the Corleone family in the media field, biochemical pharmaceuticals, gaming chain hotel business, and may also involve automobiles and aviation in the future.

For this reason, Chen Jun also specially united with two top universities in the west to study related media color TV and audio recording technology, as well as the upcoming era of the third information revolution, and invested heavily in the field of microelectronics and computer-related technology.

The Corleone family's industrial structure has been gradually transforming, and among the many companies invested and acquired, there are two major companies involved in the media field, the National Broadcasting Corporation and the National Broadcasting Record Company, which Chen Jun is more concerned about.

Because of the Paramount Act, although the film industry is still profitable, it has been in a downturn for a long time, so there is a strong rise of radio and television.

Of course, this is also a trend, even if the film industry is not sluggish, these two major industries will also rise, but the settlement of the film industry and the technological improvement of color TV and recording equipment have intensified the degree of prosperity of these two major industries in the future.

In the 50s and 70s in the United States, a famous singer would earn much more than a movie star, and classic songs such as Elvis Presley, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Ford, Peggy Lee, Kingston Trio, Grade 4 Freshman Band, Athlete Band and so on also became household names with vinyl recordings.

The National Broadcasting Record Company is a company with relevant music patented technology and many singers, but it has not yet completely developed, and was easily purchased by Chen Jun for 7 million US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that Johnny Fontan is currently the number one singer of this company, but his throat was ruined by tobacco and alcohol, and he didn't look down on it, so he became an actor, but his record sales record has not been broken so far, and it is estimated that it will be until Elvis Presley comes.

As for the National Broadcasting Corporation, it is currently one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States, and currently has 15 television stations and 116 affiliated radio stations, because the Federal Communications Commission has decided that the National Broadcasting Corporation must not have both a red and blue broadcasting network. In October 1943, Edward Noble bought the NBC for $8 million.

In February 1953, Paramount bought the company for $25 million to form a new broadcaster due to the implementation of the Paramount Act.

It was only 1946, and it didn't take that much for Chen Jun to win the NBC, but he also spent $11 million to get a lot of money from Edward. Noble bought it.

This acquisition began as early as the first two months, and if the acquisition is completed, there will be relevant TV variety show ideas and funds that need to be invested in the production of TV dramas, which will be included in the territory of the "Daily" media department, and professional operations, finance, and personnel will also be responsible for related affairs.

As the work continues, Chen Jun needs to inspect and dock the acquired company's business every day, formulate relevant systems, and arrange professionals, which can be described as very busy.

At that moment, Johnny came to the door again to visit.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Jun poured him a glass of Scotch whisky as usual, and it was still amber.

Johnny was surprised and moved by this little detail, and a warm current flowed through his heart, in fact, whisky was not his real favorite drink, but it was the one he had named with William in the office of that small newspaper a year earlier.

At that time, the godfather helped him solve the troubles of the movie tycoon, and he was high-spirited and naturally not very polite to William.

Now he remembers that he liked the wine and kept it for him in his office last time.

But William's next sentence made Johnny immediately come back to his senses from the warmth, "It's the end of the movie." ”

Johnny was a little embarrassed: "The film has already been filmed, but director Hitchcock is not very satisfied with the film editing. ”

"Oh, I remember, you told me last time." Chen Jun smiled, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work lately. ”

"I know that lately I've been in contact with a lot of editors, writers, and professional producers, and that's keeping me busy."

Johnny told Chen Jun about his experience during this time, which was summarized as a report, he has used his network of contacts to network many professionals, and has formulated two film shooting plans, and the relevant scripts, filmmakers and processes will be presented to him in the form of reports.

"You've done a good job, I'll read your follow-up project report." Chen Jun nodded: "What about Hitchcock's wishes, what does he think?" ”

"He has no opinion, he doesn't have any special opinion about that company, the important thing is to have enough funds and a good script to satisfy him, of course, the Oscar is also necessary, and no one can easily refuse this honor."

It can only be said that the big director is capricious..... Chen Jun heard Johnny's subtext: "Your purpose is to come for the Oscars?"

"That's right, the movie "** Record", as our company's first cannon, although there is a trend of big sales, we can't give up on awards, and it's best to create a sensational topic effect."

Chen Jun nodded in approval, casually in the office, dialed the phone in front of Johnny, called five or six successively, and finally hung up, looked at him and said:

"There's no problem, the only problem is that it depends on how many golden figurines you want."

Johnny's eyelids jumped when he heard these frivolous words, and he once again refreshed his understanding of the power in William's hands.
