It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing rapidly!
Linda looked at Johnson's affectionate appearance and really didn't know what was going on in the world. Linda probably knew the most clearly about the problems between Wu Jianye and Johnson in the world. Now that she saw Johnson's appearance, Linda
I couldn't help but walked up to Johnson and touched his head with my hand.
"No fever!"
"Linda, what are you doing?" Johnson slapped Linda's hand away and said dissatisfied.
"What's going on?" Linda waved her fingers back and forth between Wu Jianye and Johnson.
"Oh, you're talking about this. Wu and I have reconciled. What happened yesterday was so interesting. Let me tell you..." Then Johnson danced and recounted what happened at the party yesterday.
I told Linda the story.
After hearing this, Linda still couldn't understand and asked: "Just because of what happened to Penny yesterday, you reconciled with Wu Jianye?"
Johnson nodded and said: "Of course, yesterday was so satisfying!"
This time it was Linda who held her head. She really couldn't understand how a man's brain circuits were developed.
Wu Jianye said from the side: "Okay, you two should go to the conference room with people from your own companies to negotiate the acquisition."
After saying that, Wu Jianye pointed to the computer on Linda's desk and said, "Linda, let me use the computer for a while."
"Okay!" Linda nodded, and then took Johnson and the team he brought to the conference room.
Although the general direction of the negotiations between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas has been agreed upon by Wu Jianye and Johnson Lao, the details still need to be discussed by representatives of the two companies, so this is why Wu Jianye was not at the hotel.
Another reason for waiting for Johnson is that there are too many people and it’s not interesting.
After the people on both sides left, Wu Jianye took out a floppy disk from his pocket, put it into the computer, and opened Word on the computer.
The floppy disk is actually the predecessor of the USB flash drive, but the storage space is really troublesome, only 1.44mb. Not to mention blockbusters, even novels cannot store one million words.
This thing was first developed by IBM. It was a read-only 8-inch floppy disk with only 79.5kb of memory. In 1972, Alan Shugart helped Memorex Company launch the first read-write 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 thirty years from 1971 until the 1990s, floppy disks were used to store and exchange data.
Now Tunan Technology has begun to study USB interface and flash drive (USB disk) technology 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 nonsense.
Regarding the USB flash drive, Wu Jianye only knew that the patent was very complicated. However, later in China, Netac was the first to invent the USB flash drive. Even though Netac later did not manage well, it was still able to make over 100 yuan a year by relying on the USB flash drive patent.
Ten million.
Wu Jianye just told Zhou Tao the concept of this thing, and he relayed it to Tunan Laboratory. As for other Wu Jianye, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just knew that the professor at MIT's Tunan Laboratory was getting Wu Jianye.
After Ye's suggestion, he seemed very excited. At the same time, he said that the technological content of this thing did not seem to be very high, and it would probably take less than a few years to develop it. This was because it had to cooperate with the development of computer technology.
Wu Jianye became impatient when he heard Zhou Tao explaining those professional terms to him later.
Although Tunan Computer's sales in Asia are very good, in Europe and the United States and other countries, it is still a younger brother. Even Phantom Entertainment's own company uses office computers from Apple.
Looking at the Apple computer, Wu Jianye thought about the situation at Apple. Steve Jobs has been dismissed by Apple's board of directors for several years. Now Apple's development can be said to be at a low point, especially this year when they will release sales.
The less than ideal notebook Macintosh is portable, which is almost catastrophic to Apple's development.
The house leaked and it rained all night. If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, the best computer in the laptop market this year would be the powerbook released by Sony early next year. However, Tunan Technology has also devoted its full efforts to the development of laptops, and Tunan Technology's notebooks
The computer will be launched in November this year, named perfectbook, the Chinese name is perfect notebook!
Perfectbook is Tunan Technology’s most important product released in Europe and the United States.
Wu Jianye was typing on the computer. It wasn't until almost noon that Linda and Johnson came back. The general direction had been determined, and there were not many details to detail, so it took him a whole morning.
, 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 Phantom Entertainment truly become one of the seven major studios in Hollywood, alongside 21st Century Fox, Disney, Universal, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Brothers. Of course, if alone
In terms of background, Phantom Entertainment is still not good, even compared to the media group behind them, it is far behind.
But this is not important, because Phantom Entertainment is slowly catching up!
After Johnson walked in, he said with a smile: "Now that we've finished talking about the business, let's go out and celebrate!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "You can go ahead, Linda and I have something serious to talk about!"
What Wu Jianye wants to talk about next is an important part of the future development of Phantom Entertainment. However, now that Johnson has become a director of Phantom Entertainment on behalf of the Johnson family, Wu Jianye will naturally not go behind his back.
"What's going on?" Johnson asked curiously.
Wu Jianye ignored him and said to Linda: "I want to meet your mother!"
"My mother?" Linda was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Wu Jianye wanted to see her mother. "Can I ask something?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "With the development of the times, the media industry will definitely usher in rapid development, and now we at Phantom Entertainment can no longer be satisfied with a single model of production and distribution. In the future, Phantom Entertainment will
Focusing on movies, we develop our own businesses horizontally, including TV, toys, books, records and theme parks. The simultaneous development of these business lines with synergistic effects is the real development trend of Phantom Entertainment in the future!"
In just a few words, Linda and Johnson were shocked by 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?
"Isn't it possible?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Yes... yes!" Johnson could feel his voice trembling.
"The acquisition of Lane Publishing Company is the second step for Phantom Entertainment to become a media group. The previous acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas was the first step!" Wu Jianye said: "I know your mother is the major shareholder of Lane Publishing Company, but now Lane Company
It seems that the development of the company is not very good. If the shares of Lane Publishing Company are left in the hands of your mother, you will not be able to play her best role, right?"
Lane 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 Lane Publishing's stock price to drop.
If it falls again, if "Jurassic Park" is not still on sale, Lane Publishing's stock price will probably fall even more!
There's never been a better time to buy Lane Publishing.
Linda quickly recalled the situation of Lane Publishing and said: "The current market value of Lane Publishing is about 280 million US dollars. My mother holds about 13.7% of the shares, with a total value of about 38 million, but...
..."
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 if I want to invest in Phantom Entertainment. If you go to her to negotiate the acquisition of her shares in Lane Publishing, she will probably propose to negotiate with my boss.
Johnson’s advice!”
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "In this way, you will take care of your mother's side. If your mother can help us control Lane Publishing, then I can trade shares with her like the Johnson family and use Phantom Entertainment 1
% of the shares in exchange for 13.7% of the shares of Lane Publishing in your mother’s hands!”
It seems that Wu Jianye's share price of 38 million this time is cheaper than the Johnson family's previous share price of 50 million Oceanwide Cinemas, but if Linda's mother can help Wu Jianye completely control Lane Publishing, then it will all be worth it.
.
After taking control of Lane Publishing, Phantom Entertainment will privatize Lane Publishing just like Yaoguang Group in Hong Kong treats its subsidiaries. At that time, whether it is Linda, her mother or the Johnson family, they will all have to come up with corresponding funds.
, it will be up to them whether they choose to dilute their shares or take money.
Linda nodded and said: "I understand, I will go find my mother tonight!"
Now that Linda had taken over the matter, Wu Jianye was happy and at ease. After taking out the floppy disk from the computer, he said, "Are you ready with 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 people behind the movie. Let them gather tomorrow and hold a meeting first!"
Linda asked: "What about the producer of this movie?"
Johnson suddenly said: "How about I do it?"
Wu Jianye and Linda glanced at Johnson, and then Wu Jianye said: "You should forget it. Oceanwide Cinemas 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 preparing to officially start its own expansion. How could Wu Jianye let Johnson multi-task!
However, Wu Jianye didn't pay too much attention to the people looking for producers. Although Hollywood now pursues a producer policy, this kind of rule doesn't apply here at all. He only needs an obedient person.
A producer is just fine, there is no need for a very good producer.
Johnson nodded with some disappointment and said, "Okay then!"
But what Wu Jianye didn't know was that when Johnson returned to his apartment and just got out of the car, he saw Penny waiting here.
"What are you doing here?" Johnson asked.
"What did you do today?" Penny asked.
"Of course I went to Phantom Entertainment to sign a contract!" Johnson said casually.
Penny: "Is Wu here too?"
"yes!"
"Then you will take me with you next time you go to Phantom Entertainment?" Penny said arrogantly.
Johnson was stunned: "Why are I taking you there? I can tell you that now I am the representative of the Johnson family in Oceanwide Cinemas!"
Penny glanced at Johnson with disdain and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Oceanwide Cinemas chain!"
Johnson said in surprise: "Then are you talking to 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 these words were said, the siblings had already arrived at Johnson's apartment.
Johnson's apartment is a large flat floor with an area of more than 300 square meters and is very modernly decorated. Penny sat casually on the sofa and said: "I spent the night in retreat yesterday and composed a new piece of music. I want to prove that I am good at piano."
His art is higher than that of Wu Jianye!"
Johnson gave Penny a pitiful look and said, "I advise you to give up. I have experienced Wu's genius!"
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 "Jura".
Park", and finally started to like rock music. As a result, Wu Jianye released another one, "Born in the Sky", and finally went to Hong Kong and fell in love with Hong Kong movies. It turned out that Wu Jianye was the screenwriter of the best-selling movies in Hong Kong...
....
Johnson feels sad when he thinks about this.
"Humph, that's you. You can change your hobby after being beaten once. There is no one like you. You have no perseverance at all. Piano is my favorite. I must prove that I am better than him in this aspect!" Penny refused to accept it!
said.
Johnson said: "Whatever you want, but I will not go to Phantom Entertainment during this period. Now that Wu has transferred 50 million US dollars to the company's account, I will go to Texas to inspect the local theaters tomorrow!"
Penny said: "Then tell me where Wu lives, and I will find him myself!"
.......
Penny was thinking about surpassing Wu Jianye in piano skills, but Wu Jianye didn't take her to heart at all. After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye saw Chen Kaige in Zhao Fei's room.
.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Kaige smiled and said: "It's hard for you to come to Los Angeles, and I don't have time to accompany you during the day. I just happened to come over and have a good chat with you at night!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Then you talk to Zhao Fei, I'm going back to the room!"
