Rebirth of England.

Chapter 837 Different from the Past

Speaking of Oriental Movie Metropolis, the groundbreaking ceremony held earlier this year was quite grand.

Some of the most famous Hollywood movie stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman, as well as the currently popular actors who played "Avengers" members such as Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, and other Hollywood stars with close ties to Marvel-MGM Studios, also appeared at the ceremony in Qindao.

It can be said that shareholders of Tianhe Oriental Movie Metropolis Group, including Blue Valley Capital and Marvel-MGM Pictures, also mobilized a lot of connections for this ceremony.

Fan Bingbing was also radiant in this ceremony, standing together with those Hollywood stars. As one of the most famous Chinese actresses in Europe and the United States at that time, because of her starring in the hit American TV series "War of Successors" and guest appearances in several Hollywood movies, even if these stars had never seen Fan Bingbing before, they at least knew her.

And as one of the bosses of Tianhe Capital, Fan Bingbing can be said to be the investor of this Oriental Movie Metropolis, which naturally makes him different from other Chinese stars.

For example, the two Wangs of Huayi Company, who currently dominate the Chinese film and television industry and also attended the event, had a completely different attitude towards Fan Bingbing.

You know, since its successful listing on the A-share market in 2009, Huayi Company has been in the limelight and has firmly established itself as the number one private film and television company in China.

However, precisely because of this, they have had a lot of contact with the "Tianhe Group" and naturally understand Fan Bingbing's current status - not to mention that after Baron transferred his shares in Huayi Company to Fan Bingbing's name, she herself is one of the major shareholders of Huayi Company. Just say that Tianhe Film and Television Investment Company's investment in the domestic film and television industry is, at present, rarely comparable to other capital.

Otherwise, why do many people now call some film and television program production companies controlled by Nanjing Automobile Group, Tianhe Real Estate and Tianhe Capital the "Tianhe Group".

The key is the background of Tianhe Capital, the core of the Tianhe Group. Few people know it. Even the few who know about its relationship with Barron keep their mouths shut and will not tell anyone about it. This also involves the reason why some upper echelons did not seriously investigate the "preferential treatment" of Barron, an old friend of China. After all, the scale of his industry and investment in China is enough to attract attention.

This makes the background of the "Tianhe Group" particularly mysterious to outsiders. Even if it can be found that Fan Bingbing himself exists as the legal person of Tianhe Capital, he will normally be considered a "white glove". Think about who needs to use "white gloves"? This is even more unspeakable.

Although Huayi, owned by the two Wangs, can be said to be a leading enterprise in China's film and television industry, Wang Zhongjun is now considered to be sitting at the bottom of the "Taishan Club".

Therefore, in front of Fan Bingbing, they now have a very positive attitude.

After all, the market value of the entire Huayi Company is less than 200 billion yuan, and the total investment in the Oriental Movie Metropolis project alone is more than 500 billion...

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the first phase of the Oriental Movie Metropolis project has begun construction. It is expected that the main project of the entire Oriental Movie Metropolis will be completed within four years, that is, in the second quarter of 2015.

However, the film and television production base of the first phase of the project will be completed in the third quarter of next year, and by then it will be able to produce some films, TV shows and variety shows...

The Marvel-MGM theme park will be completed in 2013 and open in the second half of that year.

It can be said that the construction progress is still very fast. When talking with Fan Bingbing, Barron knew that the construction there is currently in full swing.

……

In Barron's previous life, there were always Mayan predictions that 2012 would be the end of the world.

The disaster movie "2012" also left a deep impression on Barron. But when Barron entered 2012 for the second time, the world was still running as usual, and no doomsday disaster occurred.

It is worth mentioning that on December 2011, 12, after his father passed away, the young man, who was known as "the most powerful post-30s on the planet", combed his hair back and stood at the pinnacle of power on the peninsula.

After New Year's Day, Barron temporarily left Lanai and arrived in New York to visit Ivanta and their child Theodore.

When Barron met Ivanta, she had just returned from Android:

"Android will release a new version next month, adding many features to cope with the competition from iOS. In addition, WP cannot be ignored. According to news, they will launch WP8 later this year and make major adjustments."

The upcoming Android system, which has reached version 4.0, is called Ice Cream Sandwich.

Although Google has basically withdrawn from the competition for mobile operating systems, the last major version upgrade of their GOS system was released a year and a half ago...

But Android companies cannot say that they can breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in addition to their main competitor Apple's iOS system, Microsoft has also been obsessed with mobile phone operating systems.

Although their WP (Windows Phone) operating system has never had a high market share, it has always maintained a presence.

They even gained some of the market share vacated by Google GOS’s withdrawal…

After completing the acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Android obtained a large number of mobile phone system-related patents. In the years of competing with Apple's iOS, Android has also summed up its experience and started to tighten the power of the loose open platform of the Android system at the beginning, improving the current shortcomings of the low compatibility of the Android system between different devices. After all, compared with the iOS system firmly controlled by Apple, the biggest headache for those application manufacturers for the Android system is the need to test compatibility...

And from the huge profits of Apple's Appstore, Android companies also saw the "money prospects" in it - although Android companies have also launched their own Play Store, even though the market share of Android system is slightly higher, its revenue is still far less than that of Appstore.

These are the areas that Android companies need to improve in the future.

"There's one more thing, baby. Avago will make an important acquisition next. I hope IC Capital can also participate then..."

When Barron learned about Chen Fuyang's plan to acquire Broadcom, he was the first to receive feedback from Zhang Junning, and he also strongly agreed with the acquisition.

After all, from the perspective of future development, in his previous life, Chen Fuyang successfully reaped a considerable portion of the benefits of AI development through this acquisition.

However, Avago is currently held by Rich23 Capital with a 83.3% stake. It can be said that except for some listed circulating shares, the rest of Avago shares are in the hands of Rich23 Capital and Chen Fuyang (holding 1.7% of the shares).

But after acquiring Broadcom, their scale will reach the forefront of the world, so only if more American capital joins in will it not cause obstacles to future expansion.

This is also the main reason why Barron is preparing to have IC Capital participate in this acquisition.
