The gutter oil extraction technology that Sean knows is a small workshop, which must be upgraded, but the technical content is not high, and Sean is ready to find a university to cooperate with the technical research commission.

He pays for it, the other party pays for it, and of course the technology belongs to Sean.

The partner Sean has been found, New Jersey Institute of Technology!

Located right in Newark, that's his lair, and it's easy to find a relationship.

"Cooking oil from food waste?" Hearing Sean's request, Malz Wick, the vice-chancellor of Polytechnic University, almost popped out his eyes, and his face was full of horror.

Just thinking about that picture, he was about to vomit, "No, no, no, it's disgusting, I can't do it!" ”

"How can this be called disgusting?" "It's a great cause, we need a lot of land to cultivate to produce more cooking oil, and for this, we've cut down forests, destroyed grasslands, destroyed the homes of an unknown number of animals, and made the earth devastated," Sean said. ”

"And among them, a lot of cooking oil is wasted!"

"If we could recycle them again, how much better would we reduce our food consumption each year?"

"How can this be disgusting, this is for the people, for the world, for the planet!"

"Isn't that noble enough?" In the sunset, Sean, who was standing by the window, was full of holy light, like an angel!

These words made Maltz Wick dumbfounded, damn it, words......

Can you say that?

Just as Maltz Wick hesitated, Sean continued: "I have all the names of this oil in mind, it's called 'blended oil'!" ”

"The advertising slogan is, blended oil: raw materials include vegetable oil, animal oil, vitamins, rich in minerals and essential amino acids, the nutritional value is extremely rich, after more than ten years of research and careful matching, the pursuit of precise nutrient combination and precise proportion, designed for the xx Zhou people's system."

"Oil is healthier to eat, select eight kinds of plant oils, advocate a balanced intake of 1:1:1 dietary fatty acids, blend oil in the golden ratio, and balance the good oil of nutritional science."

"Dad loves sunflower oil, mom likes corn oil, son likes peanut oil, grandpa likes it, grandma likes it...... What can I do, blend oil, rich in 8 kinds of plant oil nutrition, advocate 1:1:1 ......"

"More blended oil, more nutrients, Sanlu blended oil."

"If there is health, there is Shengyuan blended oil."

"Good nutrition, good quality, cradle blending oil."

"Mengniu blended oil is naturally nutritious."

"Alright, stop!" Maltz Wick grabbed Sean by the shoulder and stopped him from continuing, "Okay, that's it, we've taken on this collaboration, and it's really great." ”

"I knew that you would contribute to the progress of human society." Sean said movingly as he grabbed Maltz Wick's hand.

"Hehe, I don't believe you if you don't have so many advertising words!" Maltz Wick rolled his eyes, "Damn, I'm suddenly so worried about going out to eat!" ”

"No, how could it be, this thing must be used for export to those underdeveloped countries." Sean snorted, he didn't dare to sell this thing in the United States.

He's afraid to go out and eat it......

Sean swore that whoever would dare to use the 'blended oil' to make himself food, he would peel the man's skin and throw it away to extract the oil!

Get the gutter ...... After reconciling the production and research and development of oil, Sean proposed to cooperate in metal recycling projects.

"Extracting precious metals from waste circuit boards ......," says Malz Wick, musefully: "If the technology is not advanced enough, it will cause heavy metal pollution, which is very troublesome." ”

"We only need to consider the efficiency and cost of purification, and we don't need to worry about pollution." Sean replied directly.

"Not really." Maltz Wick looked at Sean in shock, "Environmental issues ......"

"It will go to underdeveloped countries for refining together with blended oil." Sean blinked, "Besides, metal recycling and reuse, reducing excavation, why is it not environmentally friendly." ”

Oh, hehe, Maltz Wick laughed dryly, the mouth of the capitalist, damn it, the deceitful ghost.

"Technology is developed from scratch, from existence to refinement, and the objective law of development." Malz Wick coughed lightly and gave a more high-sounding explanation.

The two looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

The technology in garbage disposal is extremely large and cannot be achieved overnight, and Sean will establish a research institute in the future to conduct research in this area.

The road is coming out little by little, and at present, Sean focuses on two technologies: 'blended oil' and 'precious metal extraction'.

Others can only be taken slowly.

While Sean was busy going to Colombia to build an industrial zone and open a metal refinery in India, John came over and asked Sean to see the film.

Well, the film that adults watched.

The filming of "The Great Bank Robbery" has also ended.

However, the editing rights of those large companies belong to the company, and the director cannot participate, and the editing rights of Sean here also belong to John.

At present, the rough cut has been completed, and the whole film is 3 hours long!

After that, it should be pruned to less than 2 hours.

After watching the film for three hours, Sean thought for a while and said: "The previous planning part can be edited a little faster, highlighting the technical content of the robbers, and there are one or two special details, but the framework of the overall robbery planning must be." ”

"You want people to have the ability to design a perfect heist according to the frame after watching this movie."

After saying this, the studio fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at Sean blankly, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm not teaching everyone how to rob, I'm trying to highlight a reality." Sean explained dryly.

Oh, got it, you're teaching people to rob!

"Hahaha, the eighth master's action design is very sharp, this film must be popular in the United States!" Sean coughed lightly to change the subject.

John followed this topic and praised Yuan Heping for a while.

"Okay, that's it, the editing problem is still up to you, you guys shoot, you want to know what you want to express the most." Sean finally clapped his head: "Of course, artistry can be there, but, commerciality ......"

"I understand, I used to be a commercial director, and now I'm a commercial film director." John said with a lot of interest.

"That's good!" Sean was pleased with John's answer.

"By the way, Norris, how did you get to the distribution?" Sean asked, looking at Norris.

It is important whether the film is made well or not, but a good distribution channel is even more important.

It's like no matter how good a product is, if you don't have a good sales channel, you won't sell much.

The ability to distribute is the sales channel of the film.

At present, Sean Pictures does not have the ability to distribute, so it can only rely on external forces.

……

Chapter 143:

Issuance ability: To put it bluntly, it is the ability to market the 'product'.

Not only the film industry needs distributors, but also other "TV series", "games", "stock listing underwriting" and so on need good distribution capabilities.

Here is an example of a movie.

Every year, thousands of movies are shot in Hollywood, but there is a fixed number of theaters and curtains in the United States.

The time is also divided into morning games, midnight games, and prime time games.

There are also holiday stalls and Christmas stalls...... Wait for a good time slot.

So how do you get more movie theaters willing to show your films?

After all, the profit of a movie theater lies in the number of moviegoers.

It depends on the ability of the distributor, a good distributor can get better screening slots and schedules, and can make more cinemas show your movie.

Of course, if the quality of the film is not good after its release, it is not the distributor's problem for the cinema to reduce the number of screenings.

The opportunity is given to you, and you don't use it, which can't be blamed on others.

Therefore, the distributor has to collect money, and it is divided according to the proportion of the box office.

The distributor should look at the subject matter and quality of the producer's film, the popularity of the producer, the director, the starring role, the market fit, etc.

The more powerful the producer, the lower the percentage they want, and vice versa.

The so-called 55 points is a concept, and the producer can get 5 percent, which is actually wrong.

The cinema chain may only receive 50%, but the distributor will also collect 1-3% ......

In many cases, the filmmaker can only get 2% or less.

Of course, it's very operable.

Ahem, for example, after the filming of the movie, the theater is divided, the distribution is divided, and the last remaining salaries are paid to the actors, and in the end, the investors can't get a penny.

The money of the theater chain was returned in full, and the investors' accounts were divided......

Similarly, it can also be used to make money.

"Of course, the best distribution ability is the eight majors, but their asking price is too high." Norris shrugged his shoulders, "Including the advertisement, it's going to be divided into three, and besides, it's going to be a bit of a hassle to check out from them, well, at least a year." ”

Sean frowned, he hated dealing with these companies in a dominant position, it was too weak, thinking about it, Sean motioned Norris to continue.

"Outside of the Big Eight, if you don't have an independent film distribution company, it's going to be Miramax and New Line Films, and we can find one of these two families."

"New Line Film Company was established in 67 years, an independent distribution company, distributing small-budget independent films, mainly horror films, and its distribution capacity is the best outside the Big Eight."

"Miramax was founded in '79, but the Weinstein brothers have been in Hollywood for many years, and they have participated in the distribution of many small-budget films, and their distribution ability is not bad."

"Large companies charge high fees and slow checkouts, and Miramax and New Line charge low, but sometimes they hide the box office." Norris looked at Sean after speaking, how to choose, it is up to the boss to decide.

"Weinstein, is there a guy named Harvey Weinstein?" Sean asked suddenly.

"Yes, there's one, it's Humpty Dumpty." Norris thought for a moment and added, "The old Jewish pervert doesn't like to shave, and he likes to tie the women he pressed to the bed with his beard...... Ahem. ”

Well?

Sean had a chill on his face, what the fuck is wrong with this!?

Playing too much so you come up with new tricks?

"Forget it, I don't care if he's an old pervert or a pervert, just choose Miramax." Sean pointed at Norris and said: "We will never get ahead of those big companies, you learn more from Harvey's side, we can't always find someone else to issue it, and my special money is not blown by the wind." ”

"Release!?" The corners of Norris's mouth twitched, which was a bit of a strong man's difficulty.

"Use all your indiscriminate moves, Weinstein can't do all the work himself, bribe, bribe, shoot videos, eavesdrop, there are many ways to think of it." Sean pointed at Norris and scolded, "Be bold." ”

"Boss, it's not that I'm timid, it's that the Eight National Congress has always implemented a monopoly strategy on distribution, and these two companies still specially picked up some soup and water that the Eight National Congress don't look down on to survive." Norris smiled bitterly: "They will not allow anyone to master the distribution ability anymore, once someone wants to take the lead, they will unite to put pressure on the theater chain." ”

"Pressure, how pressure, in New Jersey, which theater dares not to give me a fucking face?" Sean snorted, "Eight, bullshit, others are afraid of them, but Lao Tzu is not afraid!" ”

"Okay." Norris said that Alexander couldn't do anything, and when the boss spoke, he had to listen to it, and he had to listen if he didn't listen.

However, Norris is not confident at all, the boss is not afraid of the eight is true, except for the movie, other industries have nothing to do with Hollywood.

In this case, the safety of one's life is still guaranteed.

The matter is settled, Norris goes to do it, but Sean thinks about a new problem.

The right to speak in public opinion!

Hollywood can influence the whole world, they can distort history, distort public opinion, reflect some industries or companies through movies, and even discredit a country and a race!

has mastered one of the fastest channels for the spread of movies, and these guys have a really big say.

Coming from the future, he knows too well the importance of the high ground of public opinion, and it is time for him to take some action in this regard.

Television, radio, newspapers......

A few days later, Norris reached an agreement with Miramax, and Sean Pictures retained the distribution rights for the videotape market for himself.

Norris had his own videotape distribution channel when he used to help drug dealers Sin Money.

After the distribution agreement is finalized, it involves the issue of advertising promotion, and the amount of advertising money invested will directly affect the attendance rate in the first week.

North American box office sharing is complex, and for production companies, the first-week box office is crucial.

To that end, after several negotiations, Sean agreed to come up with another $1.2 million for advertising.

It's just that the money is out, but Sean is not very satisfied.

Miramax promised to get the summer slot, but the summer slots had "Back to the Future", "First Blood 2", "The Seven Treasures", "Witness", "007 Thunderbolt", "The Breakfast Club", "Mad Max", ......

Looking at the names of these movies, Sean felt that his "Bank Robbery" was going to be cool.

Whether it is the director, actor, producer, distributor, including the advertising fee, how can "The Great Bank Robbery" get a good box office!?

It's no miracle, and Sean himself doesn't believe he can fight his way out.

Moreover, even if it is really word-of-mouth, I won't be able to get any money when it is screened in the next few weeks.

The box office split in the first week is 1:9, and in the fourth week, it is 5:5, and it is even lower later.

So, we have to come up with something extraordinary.

Like what...... Reflect reality before the movie is released?

……

Chapter 144:

Thinking about it, Sean felt that his plan was quite creative.

Of course, Sean still won't do it as a last resort, so it's a matter of preparedness.

After all, he's not a bad guy either.

He won't do anything until he has to.

At noon, Lamb rushed over from New York, and Sean was ready to take stock of the money on hand.

"What?" Sean looked at Lamb in disbelief, "Just more than 20 million cash?" How can it be so little? ”

Lamb almost squirted out a sip of coffee and forced his swallow for a cough.

What does it mean that more than 20 million cash is so small?

"No, I cut more than 60 million before and after the stock market, why is it gone?" Sean's face is ugly, he still wants to buy a TV station, so where is the money.

"Boss, you bought the shares of Greg Chemical Plant, and it cost more than 40 million before and after." Lamb said, rubbing his eyebrows.

Sean blinked as if ...... Oh, yes.

"Damn, the investment is too big, and I don't know when it will work!" Sean scolded and said: "Don't you make dozens of times more money for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has to pick up Greg's skin!" ”

"I want to set up a media company and buy a TV station." Sean said he was going to call Lamb over.

Lamb's brow furrowed and he looked at Sean helplessly.

"What do you think?" Sean gestured.

"Boss, in my experience, you're now involved in a bit too many industries, and it's very messy." Lamb organized the language and said: "Fitness, transportation, building materials, security, daily chemicals, environmental protection, movies, seven categories, the industry span is too large, in the case of resources can not be integrated, the potential of each industry has not been developed." ”

"Now you are going to get involved in the media industry, this ......," Lamb said, "you always have to have a specific plan, and the subsequent development of any industry requires a lot of capital, personnel, and technical investment." ”

"Although diversification is a better way to resist risks, it is not a good choice to expand indefinitely, sir, you should consider carefully."

When Lamb said this, Sean also frowned a little, he was a fake wine in his previous life, and he didn't have as much business experience as in this life, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he crossed the river by feeling the stones.

Integration?

It's hard!

"Trade-off, sir, you always have to make a trade-off, which industry to focus on?"

"I want them all!" Sean thought for a long time and looked up and said.

"The health club will precipitate for a period of time after this expansion, and it will definitely continue to expand in the future, and the next target is New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington." Sean said, snapping his fingers.

"Transportation and building materials are closely related to the same category, and they will not continue to expand after taking root in New Jersey, at most they will stretch out a few tentacles to open up the surrounding large transportation routes."

"The security company is definitely going to expand, and the next step is New York and abroad, which is the foundation, although it only loses money and does not make money."

Lamb nodded, he could also see this, if Sean hadn't held such a violent institution in his hands, he would have been overturned a long time ago.

"Daily chemical and environmental protection, these two are heavy asset investments, and the development is step-by-step, and it can't be fast if you want to." Sean thought about it and shook his head, whether it was the idea of Colombia's industrial base, or the third brother's 'precious metal refining', don't think about it for more than half a year.

"Movies, in fact, can be classified as the media industry, and they don't conflict with TV channels."

In this way, the fitness club is already a mature new system, and it does not need to intervene too much, as long as it breaks the local protection, it can be completely let go.

Transportation and building materials are a vein that is rooted in New Jersey and is not going to continue to grow.

Chemical environmental protection, long-term planning, and not in a hurry.

The media industry is what I need to worry about the most at present.

Moreover, whether the media can control the right to speak in the future is very important.

At the heart of the future will be media and security companies.

"I decided that it was imperative that the focus of the media industry would shift in the coming period." Sean clapped his hands and said.

"Okay then." Lamb sighed secretly, sorted out his mood and said: "According to the law of the United States, no media company can own TV and radio, television and newspapers at the same time in a local market, and a media company cannot own two highest-rated TV stations in a city at the same time. ”

"This is to limit the public opinion channel from being completely occupied by a certain company, so boss, which industry do you choose to start from?"

"Radio, small investment, quick results."

"Newspapers, medium-sized investments, and acquisitions will also have a quick effect, but the New York Daily News, Washington Weekly, and other newspapers are in a leading position, and it is difficult to break them."

"TV stations, big investment, unknown results, ratings are completely unpredictable, it all depends on the team."

"Bullshit laws, to hell with the laws!" Sean pouted, "I choose to have them all, just get a few vest companies." ”

Sean called Jonas over and said, "Go back and set up a company and start a radio station." ”

"Huh!?" Jonas was stunned for a moment, what is this?

I'm a mafia family, open a radio station?

"Ah what, you're black, I said brother, look at the current radio station, nine out of ten are run by black people, don't you listen to the radio?"

"Listen, listen!" Jonas found a place to sit down and shook his finger a little smugly and said, "Radio, hehe, you white people can't do it, that's our black world." ”

It's also a racial skill, and the black man's mouth is really special.

Chattering, the speed of speech is very fast, not to speak, but also allows you to hear clearly, rap even opens your mouth to come.

In terms of musical talent, dancing talent, and athletic talent, black people are indeed unique, and black music has always guided pop culture.

This point, whether you look up to blacks or not, is something that has to be admitted.

"There are radio stations in all the cities of New Jersey, big and small, and there are several in Newark, all of which have some status in the rap industry and some influence in the entire black community." Speaking of this, Jonas immediately came to the momentum, "I'll tell you, Sean......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say that, set up one or two radio stations, and then buy all the black radio stations in Newark and Jersey City."

"If you build a big radio station, you can have a big radio station covering the whole of New Jersey, and I want to monopolize it."

"No, no, no." Jonas waved his hand, "Head, I think you really don't understand radio, I tell you, it's impossible to buy it all." ”

……

Chapter 145:

Jonas gives Sean a good talk about the black radio station.

Most of the hosts of black radio stations are singers, but they have not entered any labels, and they are only more famous in the circle.

They also make records, but they're all underground.

Because black music contains a lot of diss elements, this leads to many singers having grudges against each other, and most of the local radio stations will attack each other.

Of course, it is precisely because of these grudges and legends that many underground singers have been cast with another layer of color, and they have also set off their fame.

In addition, most black radio stations have a strong regional character, and people from other places don't listen to them at all.

After listening to Jonas, Sean groaned a little and said: "Then set up a few more radio stations, three, four, divide into different camps, separate and merge these small radio stations, and open up and down time for those guys to have no one open up and down, so that they can quarrel and diss through the radio, and that's no problem." ”

"Uh...... Isn't that a waste? Jonas asked with a moment's hesitation.

"Not really." Sean shook his head and said, "You drive the company to Newark, three or four, all in the same building, upstairs and downstairs, and most of the equipment is shared. ”

"Well, if you don't get it, there will be a fight." The corners of Jonas's mouth twitched, and he could imagine a group of people with hatred riding the elevator together.

"Isn't that better!" Sean spread his hands, "There are more legends and stories to tell, the three companies are fighting head-on, never dying, attacking each other." ”

"You are the boss, it's OK if you control this degree, as long as you don't use guns or knives, you can fight them as you like, and you can open a special ring for them."

Jonas's eyes widened at the boss, and he wanted to say that this idea was too underworldly, but why did he find it interesting?

The two rappers have been dissing each other for a long time, and finally decided to go to the ring to compete for the winner, I'm afraid not many people want to watch it......

"Okay, I'll do it." Jonas walked away in a huff.

"Okay, I got it." Lamb knew what to do without being told by Sean, "whether the target is public or cable material." ”

"What's the difference?" Sean admits that he rarely watches TV.

"Public TV stations are satellite signal TV stations, all free, and the coverage area depends on the number of your signal base stations, but because it is for all the public, there are strict requirements for content, astringency and the like, and the main source of income is advertising fees." Lamb began to explain the difference.

"Cable TV is a pay TV station, the main source of income is user subscription, advertising costs only account for a small part, after all, users don't spend money to watch ads."

"How do you solve the line? Let's install it ourselves? Sean didn't understand.

"How is it possible, which TV station can afford this kind of expense." Lamb shook his head and said, "There are dedicated cable service providers, they have cable direct access to users, and TV stations only need to reach an agreement with the service provider and rent their lines." ”

"The Dolan family, the New York Knicks you asked last time, is a cable service provider, and there are many, many TV stations that rent their lines."

"Oooh." Sean nodded and said that the service provider is China Telecom and Unicom to provide broadband Internet access, and the specific TV station program to buy is the user's own choice.

"Cable, of course, is cable TV." All kinds of variety shows, all kinds of talent shows, all kinds of TV dramas, it's not a loss if you don't engage in pay TV stations.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on that." Lamb said, closing his notebook.

"Well, that's it." Sean nodded, these things are not overnight, they have to be taken slowly.

Just a few days after the silence here, Sean received bad news from Norris, Harvey Weinstein privately hinted that he might not get any good scheduling rates in the summer schedule.

Unless you continue to increase your advertising costs.

"Mom provoked Fake, Lao Tzu's 1.2 million let him eat it?" Sean's face suddenly became extremely ugly, 1.2 million, he didn't care much, the problem is, he felt that this fat pig was slaughtering himself!

"The advertising fee is very empty, let's just say that there are billboards in major theaters, and there is a lot of operating space in them, so there is no way to calculate it clearly, and neither can the eight majors." Norris explained.

Closed industries are like this, very dark.

"." Sean scolded, he couldn't think of any good way to do this for a while, the channel was pinched in the other party's hands, he couldn't knock on the door and put a gun to someone's head.

Besides, how do you know if the other party is really doing their best after agreeing?

The theater chain is not controlled by the other party, and there are eight pressures on it, there are too many reasons.

Gritting his teeth, Sean thought for a while and said, "You try to inquire about the channels they contact, and then go and run yourself." ”

"It's useless, and the problem of scheduling rate is not something that the theater chain can control by itself."

"Then fuck it too!" Sean scolded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he was not angry, thought about it, called Armstrong over, and instructed the other party to collect some news about the bank in New York recently.

In the future, X Security will definitely enter New York.

After explaining these things, Sean took someone on a plane and went straight to Los Angeles.

It's been a long time since I've seen Diane Lyne, and after this level of beauty has her ears and temples grinding, Sean doesn't look down on ordinary women.

"Sean." As soon as they met, Diane Lynn threw herself into Sean's arms.

After a deep kiss near the airport, Sean and his party got in the car and left.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to Los Angeles?" In the car, Diane Lynn asked, leaning into Sean's arms.

"It's like you, I haven't seen you in a long time." Sean reached out and scratched Diane's nose.

Diane giggled, and Sean said she believed it.

The rest, she doesn't care.

arrived at Sean's villa in Hollywood, Sean directly pulled Diane in.

Long...... Missing.

Bill was tasked with taking people on other errands.

……

"Found someone, head."

"Okay, where?"

"In West Hollywood, Santa Monica Street, Macy's."

"Keep an eye on him, and we'll come here."

Bill hung up the phone, and the group of three got into the car and drove straight to West Hollywood.

Twenty minutes later......

"Look, it's the fat man." The men pointed a short distance to the third floor.

Following his fingers, a woman in a red slip dress appeared in front of Bill's eyes, mixed race, fat buttocks.

In particular, the waist is very thin, and the buttocks are bigger.

"Head, although I also know that the woman is good-looking, I'm talking about the fat man next to her." The men had to remind Bill.

"Oh-oh-oh, I saw it." Bill coughed lightly.

"When will you do it?"

"Just come out of the mall."

"People...... That's a lot! ”

"It doesn't matter." Bill shrugged.
