Chapter 581 The North American Plan ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing fast!

Linda looked at Johnson's affectionate appearance, and really didn't know what was going on in this world. It is estimated that Linda understood the problem between Wu Jianye and Johnson the most clearly in this world. Now seeing Johnson's appearance, Linda He couldn't help but walked to Johnson's side and touched his head with his hand.

"I don't have a fever!"

"Linda, what are you doing?" Johnson slapped Linda's hand away and said dissatisfied.

"What's the situation?" Linda swung her fingers back and forth between Wu Jianye and Johnson.

"Oh, tell me about this, Wu and I have reconciled, what happened yesterday was so interesting, let me tell you." Then Johnson danced and told what happened at the party yesterday to Linda listens.

After Linda finished listening, she still couldn't understand and asked, "Just because of what happened to Penny yesterday, did you reconcile with Wu Jianye?"

Johnson nodded, and said, "Of course, yesterday was really a relief!"

This time, it was Linda who supported her own head. She really couldn't figure out how a man's brain circuit grew.

Wu Jianye said beside him, "Okay, you two should bring people from your own company to the meeting room to discuss the acquisition."

After speaking, Wu Jianye pointed to the computer on Linda's desk and said, "Linda, let me use the computer."

"Okay!" Linda nodded, and then took Johnson and the team brought by Johnson to the conference room.

The negotiation between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas, although Wu Jianye and Mr. Johnson had discussed the general direction, but the details still need to be discussed by the representatives of the two companies, so this is why Wu Jianye was not in the hotel Another reason for waiting for Johnson is that there are too many people, which is not interesting.

After the people on both sides left, Wu Jianye took out a floppy disk from his pocket and put it in the computer, and opened Word on the computer.

The floppy disk is actually the predecessor of the U disk, but the storage space is really a headache, only 1.44MB, not to mention blockbuster movies, even novels cannot store 100 million words.

This thing was first developed by IBM, a read-only 8-inch floppy disk with only 79.5KB of memory. In 1972, Alan Shugart helped Memorex Company launch the first readable and writable floppy disk Memorex 650, and the memory was increased to 175KB.

In 1976, the 5.25-inch floppy disk came out, and until 1980, the 3.5-inch floppy disk (1.44MB) was developed and became the market standard.

For nearly 1971 years, from 20 until the 90s, floppy disks were used to store and exchange data.

Now Tunan Technology has begun to study the technology of USB interface and flash drive (U disk) in the Tunan Laboratory of MIT in the United States. In fact, M-Systems will launch the first flash drive this year, but there is no USB interface at this time. , everything is bullshit.

As for the U disk, Wu Jianye just knew that the patent was very complicated, but Netac was the first to invent the USB flash drive in China. Ten million.

Wu Jianye just told Zhou Tao the concept of this thing, and he relayed it to the Tunan Lab. As for the other Wu Jianye, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just knew that the professor of MIT's Tunan Lab was getting Wu Jianye. After Ye Ye's suggestion, he seemed very excited. At the same time, he said that the technological content of this thing does not seem to be very high. It is estimated that it will be researched in a few years. This is because it needs to cooperate with the development of computer technology.

Wu Jianye became impatient when he heard Zhou Tao explaining those technical terms to him later.

Don't look at Tunan Computer's sales in Asia are very good, but in Europe, America and other countries, it is still a younger brother. Even Phantom Entertainment's own company uses Apple's office computers.

Looking at Apple Computer, Wu Jianye thought about the situation at Apple. Jobs has been dismissed by Apple's board of directors for several years now. Now Apple's development can be said to be at a low point, especially this year they will release sales volume. The less-than-ideal Macintosh Portable was almost disastrous for Apple's development.

The house leak happens to be raining all night. If there is no Wu Jianye, the best computer in the notebook market this year should be the PowerBook released by Sony early next year. The computer will be launched in November this year, named PerfectBook, the Chinese name is Perfect Notebook!
And PerfectBook is the most important fist product released by Tunan Technology in Europe and America.

Wu Jianye was clattering and typing on the computer. Linda and Johnson didn't come back until noon. , Phantom Entertainment reached an agreement with Oceanwide Cinemas and signed a contract. Since then, Oceanwide Cinemas has officially become a theater company controlled by Phantom Entertainment.

Only at this time can it be considered that Phantom Entertainment has truly become one of the seven major studios in Hollywood, alongside 21st Century Fox, Disney, Universal, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Of course, if you only talk about the background If not, Phantom Entertainment is still not good, even compared with the media group behind them, it is much worse.

But this is not important, because Phantom Entertainment is already slowly catching up!
After Johnson walked in, he said with a smile: "The business is over, let's go out and celebrate!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I want to go with you, Linda and I still have business to discuss!"

Next, Wu Jianye will talk about an important part of the future development of Phantom Entertainment, but now that Johnson has become the director of Phantom Entertainment on behalf of the Johnson family, Wu Jianye will naturally not carry him behind his back.

"What is it?" Johnson asked curiously.

Wu Jianye ignored him and said to Linda, "I want to meet your mother!"

"My mother?" Linda was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Wu Jianye to meet her mother, "Can I ask you something?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "With the development of the times, the media industry will definitely usher in a rapid development, and we Phantom Entertainment can't just be satisfied with the single mode of production and distribution. In the future, Phantom Entertainment will be based on Developing one's own business horizontally centered on film, TV, toys, books, records and theme parks, these business lines with synergistic effects go hand in hand is the real development trend of Phantom Entertainment in the future!"

A few short sentences shocked Linda and Johnson about Wu Jianye's ambition. No one thought that Wu Jianye's ambition was so big.

"You want to be a media group!" Johnson looked at Wu Jianye with wide eyes?
"Is it not possible?" Wu Jianye asked.

"Okay!" Johnson could feel his voice trembling.

"The acquisition of Ryan Publishing Company is the second step for Phantom Entertainment to become a media group. The previous acquisition of Oceanwide Theaters was the first step!" Wu Jianye said, "I know your mother is the major shareholder of Ryan Publishing Company, but now Ryan Company The development of the company does not seem to be very good, and the shares of Ryan Publishing Company remain in the hands of your mother, and there is no way to play her best role, right?"

Ryan Publishing was really popular because of "Jurassic Park", but with the end of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, it has rarely released big-selling works, which also caused the stock price of Ryan Publishing to plummet If it didn't fall again, if it wasn't for "Jurassic Park" which is still on sale, it is estimated that the stock price of Ryan Publishing would fall even more!
Now is the perfect time to get your hands on Ryan Publishing.

Linda quickly recalled the situation of Ryan Publishing, and said: "The current market value of Ryan Publishing is about 2.8 million US dollars. My mother holds about 13.7% of the shares, and the total value is about 3800 million. It's just that."

Wu Jianye looked at Linda's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother has always been very interested in Phantom Entertainment. She has asked me more than once that I want to invest in Phantom Entertainment. If you go to her to negotiate the acquisition of Ryan Publishing's shares in her hand at this time, she will most likely propose to negotiate with the old man. Pretty much what Johnson suggested!"

Wu Jianye thought about it, and said, "Well, you can take care of your mother's side. If your mother can help us control Ryan Publishing, then I can exchange shares with her just like the Johnson family, using Phantom Entertainment 1 % of the shares in exchange for 13.7% of the shares of Ryan Publishing in your mother's hands!"

It seems that Wu Jianye's 3800 million share price is cheaper than the Johnson family's 5000 million share price of Oceanwide Theaters, but if Linda's mother can help Wu Jianye fully control Ryan Publishing, then all this will be worth it. up.

After holding Ryan Publishing, Phantom Entertainment will privatize Ryan Publishing just like Xiangjiang's Yaoguang Group treats its subsidiaries. At that time, whether it is Linda, her mother or the Johnson family, they will have to provide corresponding funds. , At that time, it is up to them whether they choose to dilute their own shares or take the money.

Linda nodded and said, "I understand, I will go to my mother tonight!"

Now that Linda has taken over this matter, Wu Jianye is happy to take it easy. After taking out the floppy disk from the computer, he said, "Have you prepared all the information about the actors in "The Love of Ghosts"?"

Linda nodded and said, "This is some information about actors and actresses of the right age collected by the company. You can take a look first."

Wu Jianye nodded, and said, "There are also the behind-the-scenes personnel of the film. Let them gather tomorrow and have a meeting first!"

Linda asked, "Then the producer of this movie?"

Johnson suddenly said, "Why don't you let me do it?"

Wu Jianye and Linda took a look at Johnson, and then Wu Jianye said, "Forget it, Oceanwide Theaters is preparing to expand, how can you have time to follow me on the set now!"

Phantom Entertainment has just acquired Oceanwide Cinemas and is about to officially start its own expansion. How could Wu Jianye let Johnson multi-task!

However, Wu Jianye didn't care too much about the person looking for a producer. Although Hollywood is now pursuing a producer policy, this kind of rule doesn't work here at Wu Jianye. He only needs an obedient The producer is fine, and there is no need for a producer who is too good.

Johnson nodded in disappointment and said, "Okay then!"

But what Wu Jianye didn't know was that when Johnson returned to his apartment and just got off the car, he saw Penny waiting here.

"What are you doing here?" Johnson asked.

"What did you do today?" Penny asked back.

"Of course I went to Phantom Entertainment to sign the contract!" Johnson said casually.

Penny: "Is Wu there?"

"Yup!"

"Then you take me with you the next time you go to Phantom Entertainment?" Penny said proudly.

Johnson was taken aback: "Why are you taking me there? Let me tell you, I am now the representative of the Johnson family in Oceanwide Cinemas!"

Penny gave Johnson a disdainful look, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Oceanwide theater chain!"

Johnson said in surprise: "Then you are against Wu?"

Penny snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in Wu either, but what happened yesterday won't end so easily!"

When he said this, the siblings had already arrived at Johnson's apartment.

Johnson's apartment is a large flat of more than 300 square meters, and the decoration is very modern. Penny sat on the sofa casually and said, "I retreated all night yesterday and created a new piece of music. I want to prove that I am good at the piano. His art is higher than Wu Jianye!"

Johnson gave Penny a pitiful look, and said, "I advise you to give up, I have learned Wu's genius before!"

When he said this, Johnson recalled his tragic past. First, Wu Jianye took a chamber pot in Yanjing and used it as a treasure for the emperor. Then he fell in love with novels. As a result, Wu Jianye wrote "Jurassic" Ji Park", finally started to like rock music, and Wu Jianye released another "Born Out of the Sky", and finally ran to Xiangjiang and became obsessed with Xiangjiang movies. It turned out that Wu Jianye was the screenwriter of Xiangjiang's best-selling movie
Thinking of these, Johnson can't help but sigh.

"Hmph, that's you. You change your hobby every time you hit someone. There's no one else. You don't have any perseverance. Piano is my favorite. I must prove that I am better than him in this area!" Penny dissatisfied Said.

Johnson said: "Whatever you want, but I won't go to Phantom Entertainment during this period of time. Now that Wu has transferred 5000 million US dollars to the company's account, I will go to Texas to inspect local theaters tomorrow!"

Penny said: "Then you tell me where Wu lives, and I will find him myself!"

Pan Ni was thinking about surpassing Wu Jianye in piano attainments, but Wu Jianye didn't take her seriously at all. After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye saw Chen Kaige in Zhao Fei's room. .

"Why did you come here?"

Chen Kaige smiled and said, "You guys finally came to Los Angeles, and you don't have time to accompany you during the day, so you just come here at night to have a good chat with you!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Then you can talk to Zhao Fei, I'm going back to my room!"
