Within two days, Li Zetian learned from Dongfang Yuqin that many directors of Hong Kong film companies sent him congratulatory messages in person to celebrate his successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
"Mr. Li, the Hong Kong Film Company is flattering to please you!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled sweetly.
"Just right!" Li Zetian laughed, "Since they want to please me, then I will let them please, but I want to see who has the best attitude! Dongfang Yuqin, let Bowei Film and Television Company take the opportunity to acquire the Hong Kong Academy. Since they want to enter the U.S. market, they should give up the cinema market in Hong Kong first!”
Film companies in Hong Kong generally have their own theaters to avoid being caught in the neck by others. The U.S. movie market is different. By law, studios cannot own theaters. However, there are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. Hollywood movie giants usually control many theater chains through multiple cross-shareholdings.
On the other hand, if American film companies hold overseas cinema chains, it is allowed, and the American government cannot control it.
Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile: "In this case, I am afraid that some film companies will really let go of the theater!"
…
…
20th Century Fox, a certain luxurious room.
Nikita stood in front of a mirror, the stunning beauty in the mirror was naked, the seductive ketone body was like God's most outstanding work, the front was convex and the back was up, the skin was like sebum, and the good figure was hard to control, Li Zetian Fortunately, I didn't see her body that day, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it that night.
"Am I not attractive? Why is Chronos Li avoiding me on purpose...?" Nikita murmured, frowning slightly.
"However, the godfather can get a lot of things that make Chronos Li's heart move, such as Iranian oil, African minerals, Soviet arms, technology, talents... He said that he will definitely find a way to make Chronos Li addicted to me. With the help of Chronos Li, the godfather's career will flourish. Moreover, Chronos Li has a very good relationship with President Reagan of the United States. It would be great if he could intercede for the godfather in front of President Reagan! It's just that Uncle Davis has invited Passed him, but he didn't join, isn't he interested in oil?"
Nikita was a little puzzled. Since the outbreak of the oil crisis, everyone has known the value of oil. Chronos Li is a businessman, how could he not be moved
In fact, how could Li Zetian not be tempted, he has coveted oil for a long time.
Of course, Li Zetian rejected M. Davis' good intentions, not because he knew that he had been calculated, but he just hadn't decided whether to enter the industry or not. And this kind of calculation is actually a blessing and even profitable for him.
"Since Chronos Li is very optimistic about "Alien 2", then I will be the producer of this film. After the filming is completed, I will find an excuse to let him come to the company to watch the film." Nikita smiled brightly. Her beautiful eyes rose, like a lazy Persian cat squinting under the sun.
…
The film companies on the Hong Kong side were silent when they received the news hinted by Li Zetian.
Although Li Zetian wants to spend money to buy their theater chain, but selling the theater chain is equivalent to giving up the initiative, and may be controlled by others in the future.
However, soon a company broke the silence and took the lead in ceding its cinema chain to Bowei Pictures. Although this company is not a big company, Li Zetian reciprocated and promised to help them distribute movies. If foreign cinemas can't watch Hong Kong movies, it is a big deal to release video tapes. Li Zetian's Netflix company is the world's largest video tape rental and sales company. . There are still many Chinese in the United States and even in the world. Hong Kong movies naturally have a certain market. They are released in multiple places and can make more money.
As for the film companies that have sold the theaters, they don't have to worry too much about Bowei Pictures getting stuck in their necks. Bowei Pictures solemnly promises that it will be fair and just. As long as the film quality is good, the number of screens will naturally increase. earn it? If the quality of the film is poor and the word of mouth is poor, then the theater chain cannot lose money, and naturally the number of screens must be reduced.
With the first, naturally there is a second, a third...
Many film companies in Hong Kong have given up their own cinemas, but these are small companies, because they have few resources and can't play a role. When their films are released, they still have to watch Shaw Brothers, The faces of companies such as Jiahe and Xinyicheng. Now that Li Zetian has such a thick and outrageous thigh, why don't you hurry up and hug him
And big companies are well aware of the importance of theater chains, and naturally it is not so easy to give up their own theater chains.
Over time, though, they'll learn how much Disney, 20th Century Fox, and Netflix's combined assets can add to a studio! ! This is by no means what a tiny Hong Kong can offer...
In Li Zetian's study, Dongfang Yuqin brought another good news.
She said with a smile: "Mr. Li, there is good news from Germany. Evolver Robotics has successfully acquired the German Trumpf Group at a cost of 650 million US dollars. In addition, there is a lot of negotiation with Carl Zeiss in East Germany. Progress, the other party also intends to sell, but the price has not been negotiated yet!"
"very good!"
Li Zetian was overjoyed that the German TRUMPF Group leads the world in the fields of industrial machine tools, laser technology and electronic technology, which can make the Evolution Robot Company grow and grow rapidly.
"Arrange TRUMPF Group to cooperate with Seagate to develop DVD together!"
"Yes!"
After the Dongfang Yuqin went down, the corner of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, the technical difficulties should be overcome, and the establishment of the DVD standard was inseparable from the support of Hollywood studios. Now, he owns Disney and 20th Century Fox under his own name. DVD standard is not difficult.
The CD profit has already made Seagate a lot of money, and the DVD will only make more!
Li Zetian stood up and looked out the window with a smile. Who is the leader in this era? I am the only one, Li Zetian! ! !
…
The economy of East Germany is far worse than that of West Germany. In the 1960s, the GDP of West Germany surpassed that of Britain and France; in the 1980s, West Germany had become the third largest economy in the world. In East Germany separated by a wall, people sneaked across the Berlin Wall to West Germany every day.
Carl Zeiss in East Germany did not have orders from the Soviet Union. It was really miserable these years. Thousands of workers needed to be supported, but the company could not make any money. It could not help but become a headache for the East German government.
The East German government could still accept Li Zetian as the pick-up man. However, Carl Zeiss was asked to stay in Germany.
Regarding this point, Li Zetian naturally has no problem at all. He knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
In December, the East German government finally sold Carl Zeiss to Li Zetian for $800 million.
As soon as the news came out, the most shocking was Carl Zeiss in West Germany.
Because these two companies were originally one company, and then split into two companies, becoming each other's biggest competitors.
Over the years, the call for a merger between West Germany and East Germany has grown louder and louder, and the two Carl Zeiss companies also intend to merge, but it is difficult to take this step due to the different political systems of the East and West German governments.
However, Li Zetian no matter what political system, the former East German Carl Zeiss belonged to a state-owned enterprise, but now it belongs to him, so he wants to facilitate the merger of the two Carl Zeiss companies.
The combination of the two Carl Zeiss companies is invincible in the field of optics!
Therefore, just after the acquisition of Carl Zeiss in East Germany, Li Zetian ordered people to go to Carl Zeiss in West Germany non-stop to discuss the merger of the two companies.
The two companies were originally concubines, so they quickly reached a merger agreement with Li Zetian.
Less than 10 days later, the two companies held a press conference to announce the merger.
Li Zetian injected $400 million into the merged Carl Zeiss, serving as chairman of Carl Zeiss, holding a 72.5% stake in the company.
After completing this series of actions, Li Zetian was overjoyed. Even a cutting-edge technology company like Carl Zeiss was his own. It was so cool. Spectacle lenses, microscopes, head-mounted displays, astronomical planetariums, video cameras, digital cameras, and surveillance cameras. , mobile phone camera, etc., are you still not allowed to develop it? !
Needless to say, how big the future smartphone market is, the camera function of mobile phones is one of the keys to its success or failure.
What vivo illuminates your beauty, what OPPO is the most beautiful one, etc., are all catering to the requirements of people who love to take pictures.
Selfie has become a way of life and a fashion.
In the past life, many mobile phone companies used Sony's cameras. However, in the field of optics, Sony was nothing in front of Carl Zeiss, and its skills were still learned from Carl Zeiss. This life is doomed to Sony's bad luck! Li Zetian has become the boss of Carl Zeiss, and he also knows the general trend of the future. Then, Sony will not even think about learning technology from Carl Zeiss, brother! ! !
