Jerry Kohlberg was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chu Huan to know about this.

Chu Huan knew about this because, in addition to Qin Peng and others who followed Chu Huan to Los Angeles, Gao Kai also brought a group of people to Los Angeles.

North America is different from Japan. Private detectives are everywhere in Japan. Ma Jizu's investigation department can also invest in several private detective agencies to investigate the situation in Japan for itself. However, the territory in North America is too big, and Ma Jizu is now

His energy is being focused on political investments in Japan, Europe and other places, and he has no spare energy to deal with business in North America.

So when Chu Huan came, he brought Gao Kai and others with him for this matter.

When Chu Huan determined that the first one was Sears Department Store, some of Gao Kai's people had already started to stare at Gould.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So, Gould should already know that someone is acquiring shares in their company!"

Jerry Kohlberg did not ask Chu Huan how he knew that Gould went to New York, but continued to analyze the matter.

Chu Huan nodded. In fact, this time's plan was a bit aggressive. If the time could be extended longer and more scattered, more Sears shares could be acquired. However, Chu Huan did not only plan to invest in the West Coast Department Store.

A department store company takes action.

And 15 shares is enough, just enough for Chu Huan to operate, and there are still some wealthy people.

After these three days of acquisitions by Henrique Levy and George Roberts, the market value of Sears Department Store has increased from the original US$200 million to US$21.6 billion.

It also cost Chu Huan US$31 million to acquire the shares of Sears Department Store. The cash in hand was enough for Chu Huan to make his second plan.

"I believe in the abilities of Henry and George, and I also believe in the influence of American Express. No one knows that they are acquiring Sears."

Chu Huan preached.

Jerry Kohlberg had no opinion on Chu Huan's judgment and asked, "Then should we continue to acquire shares in Sears, or should we publish our news in the Wall Street Journal?"

Chu Huan simply pondered for a moment, and then said, "Publish it!"

After leaving Jerry Kohlberg's room, Chu Huan left the hotel directly and came to a top-notch apartment in Hollywood.

Although Chu Huan can now afford a mansion in Beverly Hills, and the mansions in Beverly Hills are actually not expensive now, the ones that cost over one million US dollars are considered top-notch, and the ones that are less expensive are only hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But who told Chu Huan to finalize the land in East Tsim Sha Tsui before? Now is the time to spend money, so Chu Huan did not buy a manor in Beverly Hills. In fact, this apartment does not belong to Chu Huan, but to Chu Huan.

Kelly's.

"Looking at you, you must not be particularly happy in the Universal Pictures industry!"

Chu Huan entered the living room, saw the sulky Kelly, and sat next to her with a smile.

Although Kelly understands the survival rules of Hollywood production companies, understanding means understanding, and acceptance means acceptance. She can face Luo Zeman with this mentality, but she will definitely still be angry when she is alone.

of.

"When "Jaws" comes out, I'm going to slap Lew Zeman in the face!"

After hearing what Chu Huan said, Kelly immediately spoke angrily.

Chu Huan chuckled. Although Kelly didn't say it clearly, Chu Huan also understood that Kelly must have negotiated with Lu Wozeman about re-dividing the shares.

"That's for sure. When have you ever seen me make a wrong judgment?"

Kelly rubbed her butt, then sat in Chu Huan's arms, and said to Chu Huan seriously, "When will Apex Pictures be able to open its own distribution channels?"

In today's film industry, distribution channels are basically the foundation of a film company. With its own distribution channels, even if it cannot produce a very good movie, it can still become popular.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Aren't you worried about the Paramount law?"

At that time, the North American government took advantage of Paramount and formulated the Paramount Act because of the monopoly of the North American film industry by the seven major studios at the time.

From now on, production companies and theater companies must be separated!

Kelly said nonchalantly, "This is not simple. If it is not possible to change a company, your Black and White Media can acquire a theater chain in Hollywood!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "It's that simple. The North American government is not that easy to manipulate."

"I don't think they are smart anyway!" Kelly, as a traditional North American woman, is the same as many North Americans. They don't have much sense of national belonging to the country of North America. They are more interested in where they are.

The state has a sense of belonging.

By the way, Kelly is from Texas, the same Texas that later wanted to be independent, not the Texas that produces braised chicken in her hometown!

Chu Huan laughed.

Kelly told Chu Huan, "By the way, which friend of yours made Brothers Video? Now many companies in Hollywood have objections to this company. You need to tell your friends!"

Kyushu home video recorders have already entered the European and American markets in early April. They are the same as those in Japan. It is a hit if you buy them!

Originally, according to Chu Huan's idea, the profits from Kyushu VCRs would not be used within a year, but the money would be used to open up all sales channels in the global electronics market!

But looking at the current sales situation, maybe three months will be enough!

As for the BT format home video recorder produced by Sony, it was sold out when it was launched in Japan, which made Chen Haichao play with ecstasy.

Although Chen Haichao has set his sights on the European and American markets, Chen Haichao has never forgotten Sony's various setbacks when Kyushu home video recorders were advertised in Japan.

So Chen Haichao asked Ma Jizu's private detective agency in Japan to investigate the situation of the Sony home video recorder brand spokesperson.

Perhaps Sony wanted to highlight the status of its home video recorders in the family, so it specially invited a celebrity couple who were particularly famous in Japan during this era to be its spokespersons.

The purpose is to highlight the atmosphere of home.

In the end, the private detective invested by Ma Jizu actually investigated something. The two of them were a couple on the surface, but in private they were completely separate!

Then, on the day that Sony's home video recorder was launched, what came with it was not an advertisement praising the product, but an overwhelming number of photos and reports about the cheating of the endorsement celebrity couple in major newspapers.

And Sony is their latest endorsement product.

Then, amid the condemnation from people all over Japan, Sony’s home video recorders went cold!

However, other brands of home video recorders have also been launched one after another. It is undeniable that they have taken away some of the Jiuzhou home video recorder market.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially those brand home video recorders that use v format.

However, both Chu Huan and Chen Haichao said they could accept this, because Sony's initial failure caused V to start occupying the market faster.

But even so, in the current home video recorder market, there are actually only two types of home video recorders, one is Jiuzhou home video recorder, and the other is other brands of home video recorder!

The most important thing is that as home video recorders are purchased by more and more families, the sales and rental business of video tapes are also rising, which can make up for the decline in sales of home video recorders in Kyushu.

Now Jiuzhou Zhenzhen is Chu Huan’s company that attracts huge profits, and has exceeded the peripheral profits of “Fantasy Comics”.

That's why Chu Huan just had the courage to think that maybe in three months, Jiuzhou would be able to establish its own complete sales channel through the profits from home video recorders.

Then Chu Huan will not need to share his profits with Panasonic in the future. The most important thing is that Jiuzhou Walkman has now entered the formal research and development stage.

The Jiuzhou Research Laboratory, which already has experience in the research and development of home video recorders, submitted a report on the research and development of the Jiuzhou Walkman o y!

It will be available in the new year this year!

By then, Chu Huan will hold the two trump cards of video recorder and walkman, and his overall strength will be able to rise to several levels!

Don’t forget, Chu Huan’s current Langyan Games has also started to build its own factory, and it will be launched next year at the latest!

At that time, the heaven and earth will really be big enough for Chu Huan to roam around!

But that will be a few months later, and Chu Huan still has to face the problem at hand.

"So the sales of Brother Audio and Video are very good?"

Before the Jiuzhou home video recorder was launched, Chu Huan had already asked Chen Haichao to send people to discuss the copyright of the video tape with people from the seven major studios.

At that time, no one from the seven major Hollywood companies took this matter to heart. They just thought that they were being taken advantage of and were willing to give them more money, especially when Kyushu offered them a price that they could not refuse.

Even more happy.

So in the end, Kyushu just used the price of 21 million US dollars to rob the film library of the seven major Hollywood movies.

Then came the launch of Jiuzhou home video recorders and the establishment of flagship stores in Los Angeles and other North American cities by Brother Audio.

The fans who flocked to the event shocked seven Hollywood stars.

At this time, they suddenly woke up and saw the huge video tape market.

But it's all too late!

Because they have sold the copyright to Brothers Video.

In another time and space, C and Disney believed that the video recorder market would impact the movie box office market, so they decided to sue the video recorder manufacturer.

But in this time and space, because of Chu Huan, home video recorders and movie video tapes appeared at the same time, causing Hollywood to see the video tape market in advance.

One thing can describe the current boom in the North American home video recorder and movie video tape market. In just one month, in the movie video tape market alone, Brother Audio and Video has spent 21 million to purchase video tape copyrights from seven major studios.

The dollars were earned back!

A videotape sells for $15 in North America!

Rental prices are cheaper.

Greater profits come from leasing.

So after listening to Kelly's analysis, Chu Huan asked aloud, "What are Hollywood planning to do?"

Kelly said, "I heard that they are planning to join forces to boycott Brother Audio and Video, and will not allow their company's future movie tapes to be sold through them."

With the current popularity of Brother Video, Hollywood movie studios will definitely not sell the copyrights of their own movies anymore.

Now that everyone has seen how popular this market is, they naturally want to get a share of the pie.
