Start from 1980

Chapter 897 Add fuel to the fire
As the saying goes: "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change."

It works with anything in the world, including money.

When the amount of funds reaches a certain level, it is no longer a bundle of banknotes, but a number, and it is also a sharp weapon for making troubles.

There are too many examples of registering multiple leather bag companies and doing things.

Su Chen wasn't the only one who did it, nor was he the first to do it.

It is said that in 1964, Allie in the Middle East saw the "MiG 21" made of bears by the neighbors around him, and wanted to take a look at it.

But these neighbors and Mao Xiong had a word beforehand: "MiG 21" cannot be sold to Allie.

But Ali is not an ordinary person. In order to get a fighter, he sent his general Amo to act.

This Amo is not an ordinary person. He is one of the "four major intelligence agencies in the world" with the same reputation as the American FBI, the KGB and the British Army.

Moreover, Amo has been playing around with the characteristics of "The Thief of the World", and he can get everything he "goes along", from a bear's MiG plane to a French missile boat, as long as there is a need.

At first, Amo went to Egypt with a huge amount of dollars, trying to instigate the Egyptian pilots, but he did not expect to meet a patriot who reported Amo.

After that, Amo went to Iraq again, trying to trick two pilots into flying a "MiG-2" back, but they refused.

Later, for fear of revealing the secret, the two pilots were silenced.

By 1966, a Jew named Redfa in the Iraqi Air Force, after receiving a huge sum of money from Mossad, drove a "MiG 21" to land at the airport in Allier.

In this way, after a lot of twists and turns, Amo stole the "MiG-21" fighter plane and the pilot back together.

In addition to this country, the United States has also done things with leather bag companies. The most typical one is that at that time, the old American bought rubles at a crazy low price and shorted gold in the name of various leather bag companies.

The composition of Tiandu companies in Japan is very complicated.

There are Tiandu Investment Company in Japan, Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong, Commercial Credit Corporation in Baltimore, Sequoia Fund in New York, Zhongda Investment in Necker Island, and Saatchi Securities in New York.

As for Tiandu Investment Company, which was registered in Japan last year, its composition is also very complicated, mainly holding industries in Japan.

In addition to forcing the Japanese to trigger and burst the bubble in advance, Tiandu Company's acquisition of Columbia Pictures and other industries is also a strategic investment of Shengshi.

Because it is the only one of the major American film studios that owns the copyright to all 2700 stock films.

Even though it doesn't have the largest film inventory in Hollywood, Columbia is the best studio of the year with twelve Oscar-winning films.

In addition, it is the leader in the television industry, with 260 TV series with a total of 23000 episodes, including "I Dreamed of Jenny", "The Fairy Wife", "Gidgate", "Naughty Boy" and "Dangerous People" Dennis".

At the time of the acquisition, Columbia's Samsung Television Group also owned "Time of Our Lives" and two other top entertainment shows in TV history, "Lucky Rolls" and "Jeopardy," and was producing several primetime shows series.

This Samsung is not the Samsung of the Koreans.

Because the full name of Columbia Pictures is called Columbia Tristar Film Group.

In fact, the business of this company highly overlaps with that of Fox and the Fox TV network. Whether it uses Columbia to operate TV or the TV network, it will conflict with Saatchi's own business and interests.

Neither Fox nor Columbia employees knew they had the same boss.

If Sony knew that the owner who bought Columbia and Fox was the same person, I'm afraid they would have already cursed idiots.

Because it doesn't look like a good deal, and it's not trying to monopolize Hollywood. If you spend so much money, what's wrong with you?
In fact, Sony did the same thing, because decades after acquiring Columbia Films, it also acquired MGM Films, the film company that made "007".

As early as the 70s, Akio Morita believed that if Sony had its own film library and tape library at that time, it could be released in the Betamax format.

At this point, with products like Sony's mini TV and video player "Watchman" and 8mm camcorders entering the US market, the benefits of having an in-house software library became more apparent than ever.

The successful acquisition of CBS Records also made Sony more confident in its investment in the entertainment industry, and even regarded Columbia Pictures as its pocket.

Sony paid $20 billion to buy CBS Records last year, and even though Japan's economy was booming and the yen was trading at 80 to the U.S. dollar, $1 billion was still a lot of money for Sony payment.

This year, I tightened my belt and wanted to take over the film company, but a peach picker suddenly appeared.

But to do so, let's not talk about the significance of strategic investment. Anyway, the Japanese are already clamoring to buy the United States.

The deal was able to be approved quickly in the United States because the businesses of Columbia and Tiandu have almost no overlap, and there are no doubts about monopoly.

Naturally, Su Chen would not reveal that he is now the boss of Columbia Pictures, nor would he claim to own two film companies in the United States.

The Americans once again panicked, because movies have always been the pride of the United States. Before the Chinese bought the film company, there was already an uproar in public opinion, and now a Japanese company has emerged.

Is this okay?

In this regard, the entire United States exclaimed: Are the Japanese planning to seize even American culture?

The most eye-catching headline of the US "Newsweek" magazine is "Japan Attacks Hollywood". At the same time, it also published a special issue with dozens of pages under the title "Japanese Enterprises Bought the Soul of America".

In this special issue, based on the results of public opinion polls, it is asserted that the Japanese takeover is "a more terrible threat than the Soviet Union's military power"!
The kind-hearted American people marched again, and some radicals even clamored for another surgical operation on Japan.

Japanese newspapers used news such as "the collapse of the US hegemony", "the 21st century is the era of the Pacific Ocean", "the 21st century is the era of Japan" and other news.

Similar to what came from the media later, a typical headline party.

With the frenzy of the Tiandu company, all walks of life in Japan directly entered a state of frantic prosperity.

The last carnival before the bubble bursts.

All kinds of phenomena give people an illusion that "tomorrow will be better". They feel that Japan will continue to prosper forever, and even become the world's largest country. If you buy anything now, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

For example, real estate in Tokyo, although it is rising sharply now, the price will be even higher in the future. Anyway, the manufacturing industry is already in decline, so hurry up and buy a house, and you will earn money if you buy it.

In order to thoroughly stimulate the chickens and Yankees, Su Chen also arranged for Tiandu to get involved in the sports and cultural departments of the United States.

There are four steps in total.

Step [-]: Buy Pebble Beach Golf Course, Professional Baseball Team.

Step 1: In the name of a Japanese company, invest [-] million U.S. dollars in MIT's first-class institution of higher learning to purchase scientific research results;
Step [-]: The research institutes set up by Tiandu in American universities prohibit Americans from entering;
Step [-]: Spend money to entertain American teachers to visit Japan. At the same time, there is no record about the "raid on Pearl Harbor" in the pamphlets about Japanese history distributed to American educators;

No matter how you look at it, an out-and-out Japanese company can do it.

And he is not the first person to do this, the Japanese have been doing this all these years, but he poured another bucket of oil on the original basis.

Su Chen could foresee the panic of the American people and the carnival of the Japanese people.

Too bad I wasn't able to see it for myself.

Su Chen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, looking at the people walking on the street outside, he really had a very pretentious feeling.

Glancing at the scene outside the window, I started working again. If everything has gone this far, it would probably be unrealistic if the Yankees don't get hairy.

After all, Japan's fate was already doomed in 1945.

Huang Ying called: "Chairman, Boss Zheng from New World is here to visit you..."
