Hideki Hanyu's answer, Michael Katz didn't expect at all.

In the philosophy of these older generation of professional managers.

Competitors who steal their own interests in this way will certainly be dealt the most severe blow as soon as possible.

Just like Blockbuster today, it's not just about getting them to stop renting game cartridges.

Even after the lawsuit, it is necessary to pay high punitive damages in order to deter those who come after it.

And after dealing with the initiators, we must put an end to the occurrence of this kind of thing at the root.

At this time, it is best to lobby Congress through those consulting firms in Washington to promote the establishment of relevant prohibition bills.

After all, Elf Entertainment is a big taxpayer in the Federation.

Anything that has the potential to reduce the revenue of Elf Entertainment will indirectly affect federal tax revenues.

Therefore, Michael Katz believes that there is a good chance that the lobbying will succeed.

So when Hideki Hanyu said something different.

Michael Katz also thought that Hideki Hanyu was worried that his approach would not succeed.

He hurriedly said to Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Hanyu, don't worry, we ......"

On the phone, Hideki Hanyu patiently listened to Michael Katz finish speaking.

That's where the explanation begins.

"Michael, not to mention whether lobbying for the Washington Setup Act will succeed, and even if it does, it will not bring us one step closer to the antitrust docks."

Hideki Hanyu's words are not untargeted.

In the original history, Nintendo's lobbying failed.

And after the lobbying failed, it was immediately subjected to a federal antitrust investigation.

Although Nintendo finally passed the antitrust investigation without any danger.

But in retrospect, Hideki Hanyu now found some connection between the two events.

Hanyu's words made Michael Katz ponder.

He understood that Hideki Hanyu had a point.

Genie Entertainment is now a dominant player in the European and American markets, although it does not occupy 100% of the market share.

But the other opponents are basically difficult to threaten them.

In this case, if it is too high-profile, it is desperate to block all competitors.

It was also difficult for him to guarantee that what Hanyu said would not happen.

So Michael Katz humbly asked, "So what advice does Mr. Hanyu have?" ”

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu slowly said what he thought.

"I told a girl not long ago that if the outcome of something is likely to be bad, the best thing to do is to keep the outcome in our hands.

Since Blockbuster can have an impact on our sales by renting game cartridges, it proves that there is a demand for rental.

What we need to do is to take the initiative to embrace the market, rather than to go against the market. ”

Michael Katz said, "Are we going to open a cassette rental business?" Is it rented in the Genie Show? ”

Hideki Hanyu immediately denied it.

"Of course not, the rental industry needs a large scale of outlets, and it is not suitable for flagship stores with relatively large investment such as Genie Show.

The main thing is that game cartridges, unlike movie tapes, seem to be a big threat to us right now, but the rental market isn't as good as you might think.

Consumers can watch a movie and video in more than an hour after renting a movie and video to take home, and after they are familiar with the plot, they will basically lose interest in the movie and videotape.

But the game cartridge is different, and if you want to beat a game, you can't complete it in a short time.

And even if the game is cleared, the variety of the game and the different ending choices will often make players repeat it many times and still have a sense of freshness.

If it's the kind of game that can be saved, the game will last longer.

In this case, renting a game cartridge is not the best option, buying it is. ”

When Michael Katz heard this, he asked with some confusion, "What does Hanyu mean that we don't need to care about this Blockbuster?" ”

Who wants Hideki Hanyu to deny again.

"No, we not only have to take care of it, but we also have to take care of it with the highest standard, so that the legal department will immediately file a lawsuit, not only asking Blockbuster to stop renting our game cartridges, but also to pay us a huge amount of compensation because of the previous leasing behavior."

Michael Katz can be trusted by Hideki Hanyu to take charge of the entire elf entertainment business of America, so naturally he can't be a fool.

Hanyu Hideki's words reminded him of what Hanyu Hideki had just said about the suggestion to take the results into his own hands.

In an instant, he understood something.

Hanyu Hideki made Elf Entertainment so big and small, and oppressed people with power.

There is only one answer.

He tried to ask, "Mr. Hanyu is interested in that Blockbuster?" ”

"Michael really knows me best, and a few stores in the other party can affect the sales of our games, and the operation must be unique.

It is not convenient for Elf Show to get involved in the rental market, but we can support one, and this kind of store that is very easy to expand, as long as the scale is rolled out, it is undoubtedly a good supplement to our channel. ”

Hideki Hanyu stated his purpose.

But this so-called purpose, meddling in Blockbuster in the name of Elf Entertainment is also just an excuse.

As he analyzed, the market for game cartridge rental is definitely not as good as movie tapes.

This is also evidenced by the fact that the profit from game card rental accounted for only a small part of BesTV's turnover in later generations.

What he really wants is the videotape/DVD rental giant in the future.

and Blockbuster's massive Hollywood library authorization in the expansion of the videotape era.

When the Internet era comes, BesTV doesn't care if he dies.

The most important thing is to use the library license to intervene in the online streaming business.

When the time comes, whether it's starting from scratch.

is still directly in the Netflix struggle period with the authorization of the film library.

It's just a matter of how he is willing to choose.

At this moment, the voice of Michael Katz rang on the phone.

"I know what to do, you just wait for my good news."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Michael."

This time, for Blockbuster's action, Hideki Hanyu didn't plan to go in person.

A behemoth like Elf Entertainment, he took out the tough legal department that he had trained every day to fight copyright lawsuits, and went to bully a small business that could count the scale of a store on one hand.

If Hanyu Hideki still needs to personally supervise the battle, then all those guys under his command should get out.

This kind of operation, Hanyu Hideki doesn't have to guess to know how to do it.

Filing an infringement lawsuit for substantial damages.

Blockbuster's options are nothing more than two.

The first is to respond to the lawsuit.

Regardless of whether it wins or loses, Blockbuster will have to spend it with the legal department of Genie Entertainment.

The energy consumption of Elf Entertainment is unaffordable, and BesTV, which is in the development period, cannot afford it.

You must know that it is not an easy matter to fight a lawsuit in America.

In the face of the fierce combat effectiveness of the Elf Entertainment Legal Department, BesTV definitely does not dare to take it lightly.

If you lose, you will most likely have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

When the time comes, I can't afford to lose money if I sell BesTV.

If you don't want to lose, you have to hire the best legal team, and Blockbuster may not be able to afford the cost.

As for not wanting to respond to the lawsuit, settle out of court.

Then be prepared to accept all the conditions of Elf Entertainment.

Whether it is to take a direct stake or learn from Waste Management to win the franchise, the weak Blockbuster can only be slaughtered by Genie Entertainment.

However, for David Cook, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Blockbuster to have the support of Genie Entertainment.

The other party has been grinding for a few months, and only a few stores have opened in Texas.

And once it accepts the help of Elf Entertainment, the abundant funds from Elf Entertainment will provide a steady stream of ammunition for Blockbuster's expansion and acquisition.

As for the management of massive expansion.

In the previous life, Waste Management did a pretty good job of helping Blockbuster expand.

But in this period of time, the management of neon chain enterprises is notoriously excellent.

Turning back, let Iwata Satoshi recruit talent in Neon and prepare for Blockbuster's super expansion.

Anyway, the next ten years will be the golden age of offline movie and video rental.

The videotape market is even more terrifying than the movie box office market, which can be called an inexhaustible gold mine.

This is also the reason why Blockbuster expanded so wildly in the previous life, and it didn't even play crash.

After ending the call with Michael Katz.

Hideki Hanyu remembered Monica Bellucci, who was still in Europe and didn't come back.

I wanted to make a phone call and ask about the situation.

After all, there are a lot of jobs on América's side, and Blockbuster has just emerged.

There is also an equally important Marvel Studios that is also under observation.

There is a little female secretary to help, and he has to talk about everything directly, and Hanyu Hideki really feels a little troublesome.

Dial the number from Italy.

It was a man who answered the phone, and the voice Hideki Hanyu still remembered.

Monica Bellucci's father, Pascale Bellucci.

After Hanyu Hideki explained his intentions.

However, he learned from Pascalle that the acquisition of the logistics company in Rome was almost completed, and "Ball Flower" personally led the team to Rome.

At this time, I was on the road and the phone could not be connected.

The other party said that after Monica Bellucci arrived, he would notify the other party to answer the phone as soon as possible.

After getting this result, Hideki Hanyu could only wait for the call back.

It can only be said that the era of underdeveloped mobile communications is trouble.

Now Nokia's big brick mobile phone is on the market.

But basically where there is a landline it has a signal, and where there is no landline it has no signal.

It's pure chicken ribs.

And what Hanyu didn't know was that it was when he was on the phone with Pascale Bellucci.

Monica Bellucci has just arrived in Rome, the capital of Italy.

The main team around her on this trip was the people from Oki Logistics who arrived by Neon and sent by Eri Kitahara.

As for the people of her own family, they have been completely reduced to foils.

Even the newly formed logistics company still bears the name of Bellucci Transport.

However, Damu Logistics, which has injected a huge amount of money, occupies the vast majority of the company's shares.

It's just that due to Hideki Hanyu's commitment, Daiki Logistics only holds shares, and Bellucci Transportation is responsible for weekday management.

And the newly formed Bellucci Transport Board of Directors.

With the support of Hideki Hanyu, "Ball Flower" successfully assumed the position of the first chairman.

But she herself knows that she was pushed up because of the support of Hanyu Hideki.

But even so, the nominal owner of the family fund held by the Bellucci family is still her.

It can be said that with the support of Hanyu Hideki, Monica Bellucci, a girl who could not have been involved in the family industry, once surpassed everyone in the family.

Therefore, after returning to Italy recently, although in terms of real power, the "ball flower" did not gain much, but the surface scenery enjoyed a lot.

By the way, you can also receive a large chairman's salary.

And as the chairman of Bellucci Logistics, she will be the mascot throughout the whole process, responsible for (visiting) the acquisition of Bellucci.

So as soon as she arrived in Rome, the people of the acquired company arranged a high-level reception.

Since the company is also well-known in Rome, Monica Bellucci saw news reports about her on the TV in her room after checking into the hotel.

In the TV show, she is wearing a black professional suit, with a group of subordinates behind her, and she looks very stylish.

News commentators say that if the acquisition goes through, a logistics giant capable of spanning northern and central Italy will be born.

And she, the chairman of the board of directors, will also become a well-known female entrepreneur in Italy.

Listening to the praise of the commentators on TV, Monica Bellucci's vanity was satisfied like never before, and she almost jumped out of bed with joy.

However, the report on the Beiruchi transport has just ended.

Monica Bellucci remembered that her father had called him and said that Hideki Hanyu had just contacted her, so she was going to call Hideki Hanyu back.

But at this moment, a piece of news on the TV program immediately followed and attracted his attention.

This is not Italian news, but a piece of financial news from France.

"The French fashion industry was shocked by a super deal, the famous fashion brand Givenchy changed hands, and was acquired by the overseas fashion group Ay International for 55 million US dollars, and Mr. Givenchy continued to serve as the head of the studio and the design director of the group......"

As soon as this news came out, the little pride that had just risen in Monica Bellucci's heart disappeared in an instant.

The amount of the acquisition of Bellucci Transportation is less than a fraction of the selling price of Givenchy.

And Monica Bellucci knows that this Ai International is also a company invested by Hideki Hanyu.

——

Monica Bellucci saw the news of Givenchy's change of ownership in Italy in the evening news.

But because of the time difference, it was noon in América.

Hideki Hanyu, who had ended the call, had just returned to the room.

Prepare to continue washing, changing clothes and finding a place to eat.

As a result, Marco informed him that there was a call from Neon.

On the other end of the phone, it was Mrs. Tanaka, who had become a grandmother.

"Hanyu-san, Givenchy's acquisition has been completed, $55 million, and the money we originally invested in the joint venture has basically been spent."

Hearing the news, Hideki Hanyu suddenly felt a lot better.

After all, in later generations, this is the existence of the top 30 global apparel brands.

Thinking that it had been months since the acquisition was confirmed and the deal was concluded, Hideki Hanyu said to Mrs. Tanaka.

"This acquisition is not easy, and Madame has worked hard."

"Actually, it went well at the beginning, and the cost was not so high, after all, Givenchy's business has always had problems, and the banks are reluctant to lend, but just when we were already talking, Bernard Arnault, the owner of Dior, intervened in the acquisition of ......"

Mrs. Tanaka gave a brief account of the acquisition process.

Only then did Hanyu understand why the acquisition had been going on for months.

It turned out that it was the "Napoleon" of the French fashion industry who intervened.

He is really worthy of being the godfather of luxury in the future and the richest man in the world.

used the capital means of swallowing elephants to win Dior, and before the brand could be relieved, it came to compete with Reyin Hill International.

However, in the time and space of his previous life, Bernard Arnault entered the LVMH group next year, played a dove and occupied the magpie's nest, and after completely controlling the LVMH group, the first acquisition target was also Givenchy.

At that time, Givenchy was completely exhausted, and the oil was exhausted.

In the end, it was won by Bernard Arnault for $45 million.

In this life, Aye International acquired Givenchy ahead of schedule.

It cost an extra 10 million dollars.

Maybe it's a matter of time, but it can't all be counted on Bernard Arnault's head.

But since this guy came to trouble Ai International first.

Then next year, when he finds trouble with the other party, he will be more at ease.

Speaking of which, Hideki Hanyu's strategy for running the brands under Ai International was also learned from this Arnault.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki explained to Mrs. Tanaka.

"After the acquisition of Givenchy, Ai International already has six brands, and there is no need to expand the number of brands for the time being, and we need to focus on business at this stage.

Continue to maintain our previous strategy, tell stories, tell elegant stories that ordinary people yearn for, it doesn't matter if some words are true or not, if you say more, there is a natural chance that someone will believe it.

Luxury, consumers do not buy the product itself, but the concept we create for them......"

Over the phone, Hideki Hanyu reaffirmed the focus of Ai International's business.

As for the financial situation that Mrs. Tanaka said, he was not worried at all.

After taking Givenchy, Aye International's business is on the right track.

Thinking about it, the stock price will definitely usher in another round of skyrocketing.

In this case, there is no shortage of capital that wants to get on board.

As long as he doesn't lose control, Hanyu doesn't mind bringing in other capital forces.

Talking to Mrs. Tanaka on the phone.

Mrs. Tanaka is also concerned about Liu Xiaoli's birth.

By the way, he apologized to Hideki Hanyu and said that the trip to Amerika would be represented by Yukio Tanaka, and she would not be able to go there herself.

Hideki Hanyu naturally doesn't mind this matter.

After all, it would be nice to have Yukio Tanaka to mean it.

And after ending the phone call with Mrs. Tanaka, before Hideki Hanyu returned to the house, Monica Bellucci called from Italy.

In addition to reporting the progress of the acquisition, "Ball Flower" said that she would return to America as soon as she was busy with Italian affairs.

By the way, she also told Hideki Hanyu that she also saw the news of Ay International's acquisition of Givenchy in Italy.

The words are quite envious, and there is no deep meaning.

But at this time, the hungry Hanyu Hideki is really in no mood to deal with the ball flowers.

After a few casual remarks, he got out of the car and hurried back to the house, ready to change his clothes and find a place to eat.

It seems that a telephone must be installed in the house before this place can be fenced off.

Originally, there was a telephone here, but it was abandoned when the original owner returned to Israel.

So much so that he now has to run back and forth in the car and in the room when he makes a phone call.

However, as soon as Hanyu Hideki, who was about to change clothes, entered the room, he found that there were four beauties sitting in the living room.

Obviously, while he was on the phone, the women who had been sleeping woke up.

These are the ones he brought back from West Hollywood last night.

Although they are all small artists who are not well-known in the new era brokerage company, they at least meet his aesthetics.

As soon as he entered, four pairs of eyes looked at him.

Well......

Yan is thin and fat, each with its own characteristics.

It's spectacular.

This is the first time he has fought with so many women since he crossed over.

Sure enough, it is still capitalist society that corrupts people's hearts.

After staying in America for a long time, it's easy to be overwhelmed.

Among the four people, there was a pair of eyes that were quite resentful.

Jenny Wright.

Hanyu guessed that the girl should regret it now.

For the sake of a heroine, he was "shared" with the agency.

But as a scumbag, Hideki Hanyu doesn't feel the slightest sense of guilt.

Originally, he had nothing to do with the other party.

Everyone trades with each other, each takes what he needs, and doesn't make it seem like he didn't do what he promised.

However, since a few people woke up, he naturally couldn't pretend not to see it.

Although the new era brokerage company has already said that they will handle it on the women's side.

But as a rich scumbag in charge, he has to express it somewhat.

Gave Marco a color to the door.

Marco immediately took a suitcase from the Audi's car and handed it to him.

Hideki Hanyu opened the box and placed it in front of the four women.

The box is not big though.

But after several women saw it, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Because there is a layer of green Franklin neatly placed inside.

"Divide it yourself."

Hanyu Hideki left a sentence, turned around and walked towards the second floor.

But he hadn't finished the stairs yet.

The cheers of the women in the living room had already reached his ears.

This made the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

……

Wash up.

Hideki Hanyu, who had changed his clothes, went downstairs again and found that the women in the living room were gone.

Marco reported, "That Bill Hart just came and picked people up. ”

"Hehe, what a smart guy."

Hanyu Hideki estimates that the other party is likely to be nearby all the time.

For the cloud film industry that has just arrived in Hollywood, it really needs a brokerage company that can cooperate with it for a long time.

Of course, big economic companies are good, with many stars and wide resources.

But big brokerage firms are also bound to be strong.

And most of the time, a movie often doesn't use a few big stars.

In high demand, it is actually those inconspicuous supporting roles.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind giving a new age agency a chance.

The premise is that they can provide good service.

Otherwise, it is not enough to give him "benefits".

With this in mind, Hideki Hanyu went to Cloud Pictures and called Bill Hart to Fred's office after finishing lunch.

Motioned for Fred to hand over several items, including "Night of the Blood Dead", to the other party.

Then he said to Bill Hart, "Bill, all collaborations need a good start, and I hope you understand that." ”

The meaning of Hideki Hanyu's words, how can Bill Hart, as an old fritter in Hollywood, be unclear.

Last night's event was just about building relationships.

Whether we can continue to cooperate depends on the service at work.

So he immediately made a guarantee.

"Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured that the New Era Agency will provide the best service and will definitely satisfy Cloud Pictures."

"I hope so."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he didn't stay long, and after handing over the specific work to Fred, he said goodbye and left.

After a crazy day outside, he finally didn't forget that there was a hibiscus garden waiting for him to go back.

Thank you for the 700 book coins you promised.

I haven't been backstage recently.,I haven't found anything about tipping.,Thank you for being late, sorry.。
