DC and Marvel are both headquartered in New York City.
However, when Chu Huan decided to acquire these two companies, he had already decided to move these two companies to Los Angeles.
After all, in the future, these two companies will use movies for promotion.
This is also the reason why Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan are going to Los Angeles, not only to sign acquisition contracts with Warner Bros. and Cardans Industries, but also to find the headquarters of these two companies in Los Angeles.
So at this time, when Terran Stahan asked him to go to two comic companies to inspect, Chu Huan just thought about it briefly and agreed, "Okay!"
Now that these two companies have been acquired, it is natural to make a public appearance.
Seeing that Chu Huan had agreed, Terrence Stahan went to arrange the matter.
Whether it is DC or Marvel, the real power still has to wait, so what Chu Huan has to do at this time is actually to take them under his wing first, and the rest needs to develop slowly.
Moreover, Chu Huan's attention is still on Ford Motor, so he will not formulate any new development plans for these two companies for the time being.
After Terrence Stahan left, Chu Huan continued to sit at the North American Jiaku headquarters and participated in the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.
However, Chu Huan wanted to focus on acquiring Ford Motor shares, but the reality did not make Chu Huan so happy, because the Wall Street Journal once again published news about Fantasy Comics.
‘Xiangjiang Fantasy Comics strikes again to acquire Marvel Comics, and the North American comics industry is captured by the East!’--"Wall Street Journal"
The Wall Street Journal's obviously provocative headline immediately caused a sensation in the comics industry in North America. The most important thing is that as this report was reprinted by other newspapers in North America, it quickly caused a sensation in the hearts of North American comics fans.
.
The two major comic companies in North America were acquired by Xiangjiang Fantasy Comics, which was emotionally unacceptable to them.
In addition, the Wall Street Journal also fanatically described how a comic company from the East could possibly understand the cultural attributes of North American comics.
The "Wall Street Journal" claimed in the report that the reason why Fantasy Comics wanted to acquire DC and Marvel was just to make the comics of these two companies slowly disappear, and then make all of North America completely dominated by "Fantasy Comics".
At the same time, in the report, the "Wall Street Journal" also mentioned two other comics from Fantasy Comics, "Jianghu Comics" and "Kunlun Comics", implying that this is actually a cultural invasion!
With such a description, it is naturally even more unacceptable to North American comic fans.
So something like this happened in New York.
Comic fans from DC and Marvel comic companies began to gather and went to DC and Marvel headquarters to protest!
North American Jiaku Headquarters.
Chu Huan held another headquarters meeting. Present were David Maxwell, general manager of North American Aku, Jiang Zishan, deputy general manager, Kang Qingyang, general manager of North American Fantasy Comics, Terrence Stahan, deputy general manager, and general manager of North American Black and White Media.
Ruan Jin, Deputy General Manager Qiao Yin Farrell.
"Let's talk about the current situation first!"
Even if Chu Huan wanted to focus on acquiring Ford Motor's shares, the current situation had to force Chu Huan to devote some of his attention to solving the current DC and Marvel issues first.
Jiang Zishan took the lead and said, "Chairman, many authoritative media and newspapers in North America have already sent applications to the company, wanting to invite you for an exclusive interview.
This includes newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Business Journal.”
These newspapers sent exclusive interview invitations to Chu Huan not only because Fantasy Comics acquired DC and Marvel, but also because Qingjin Clothing acquired Nike. The most important reason was because Chu Huan’s declaration of war with South Korea’s Hyundai Group had spread to North America.
, first appeared in The Wall Street Journal.
Previously, the "Wall Street Journal" not only reported that Fantasy Comics had acquired Marvel again, but also wrote about the grievances between Chu Huan and Modern Group in a more conspicuous place.
Ordinary North American newspapers focus on the acquisition of DC and Marvel by Fantasy Comics, but in the eyes of most business people, they want to see how the feud between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group will proceed.
After all, these two companies are Asia's top consortiums.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Unify and refuse. They want to watch the fun. There is no need for us to take the initiative to join in."
Chu Huan didn't care about such an exclusive interview.
Ruan Jin said, "Chairman, our company has found a record company suitable for acquisition. However, the record company is not in North America, but a European record company. However, the other party also has a subsidiary company Mercury Records in North America. Not only that, they also have other records in other countries."
It also has branches in the region, making it a very strong record company!”
Chu Huan asked, "Which company is it?"
Nguyen Chin Dao “PolyGram Records based in London!”
Polygram records?
Chu Huan did not expect that Ruan Jin and the others would fall in love with PolyGram Records, which had a very high status in the hearts of many music fans in later generations.
Without the appearance of Chu Huan, we would not talk about Europe and the United States, but only talk about Hong Kong. No one can ignore the glory of PolyGram. Tan Yonglin, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, Chen Huixian, Tang Baoru, Zhou Huimin, etc. were all signed singers of PolyGram.
By the way, Xu Guanjie was also a signed singer with PolyGram.
The purpose of acquiring a record company is to improve the media group in your hands, and also to make it easier for these singers to endorse other brands in the future.
So although Polygram records are very good and powerful, Chu Huan doesn't care too much.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you two. Remember, I only want the results, not the process!"
Appropriate decentralization is definitely necessary. Although he has been in North America during this period, Chu Huan will not really put his focus on North America as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan’s current foundation is in Xiangjiang, and his future foundation will be his hometown. North America can only be a branch forever, so Ruan Jin, Qiao Yin Farrell and the others are going to
Do this.
"clear."
"How is the acquisition of theater chains going?" Compared with record companies, Chu Huan is more concerned about Black and White Media's layout of theater chains in North America.
Ruan Jin confidently preached, "We have almost finished the discussion. I believe we will have results in the next few days."
This is the benefit of having money. With sufficient financial support and the cooperation of a professional negotiation team, the last is the industries that Chu Huan is interested in. To be honest, they are not considered core industries in North America, so he wants to acquire them.
It's not that difficult.
David Maxwell said to Chu Huan, "Chairman, the agreement with Charles Duran to acquire Bo has also made a major breakthrough. I believe that the acquisition with the other party will be completed in the near future!"
The first thing David Maxwell did when he became the general manager of North American AK was to be responsible for the acquisition of Bo. For this, Chu Huan also delegated power to him and made him responsible for the entire matter.
"However, there are too many things about the company in North America now. I wonder if the release of this news should be postponed?"
David Maxwell suggested to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan didn't want to overly stimulate the sensitive nerves of North Americans, so he just thought about it briefly and said, "Okay!"
After briefly reviewing these routine things, David Maxwell began to tell Chu Huan about the temporary events that were happening now.
North American comic fans protested against Fantasy Comics’ acquisition of DC and Marvel!
"Chairman, this matter must not be underestimated. In addition to the protests of these comic fans, I also noticed that some media are adding fuel to the fire. It is obvious that they want to make this matter bigger. If this matter cannot be obtained
If we stop it in time, I'm worried that as the influence grows, it will cause official consequences, and then we will be in trouble!"
Although Chu Huan looked down on these actions of protesting at every turn, he also understood what David Maxwell said was reasonable. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan, "The two companies also issued a statement first.
It shows that the company has full respect for the history of these two companies.
At the same time, we will not arbitrarily change the development plans of these two companies."
Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan nodded, "Yes."
However, Chu Huan also knew that such a statement was only the most basic operation, so after finishing his suggestions, Chu Huan asked the two of them.
"Besides this, do you have any other ideas?"
After Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan looked at each other, Terrence Stahan said.
"Chairman, we believe that we should hold a joint comic exhibition for the comic fans of these two comic companies in the name of Fantasy Comics Club, call on all comic fans of the two companies in North America to participate, and arrange a lottery at the same time.
Some award-winning comic fans design fan characters in comics, etc., thereby increasing our company's status in the minds of these comic fans."
Kang Qingyang also said, "At the same time at the comic exhibition, we can also hold a voting event to let comic fans from the two companies vote for their favorite comic characters, and then launch these two characters into animation!"
Just like the previous delegation of power to Ruan Jin and Qiao Yin Farrell, Chu Huan also directly delegated this matter to them after listening to the suggestions of Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan.
Then everyone started discussing the details.
After all matters have been discussed, this meeting is considered over.
Harold Cooper is a senior DC fan, and his favorite is Batman.
At this time, Harold Cooper, wearing a Batman suit and many DC fans, gathered at the DC headquarters, holding flags high to protest.
"DC belongs to North America, not Hong Kong!"
"Give DC back to us!"
"Don't tarnish our beloved DC!"
Different people held different slogans and shouted in an orderly manner.
There are policemen from North America around to maintain order, but they only ensure that they do not cause riots. Of course, if a riot does occur, only their God knows whether these policemen from North America will really take action.
At the same time, there are many media following and reporting here.
Just when the order at the scene began to become more and more chaotic, Terrence Stahan came out with some DC company executives.
At the same time, there are many bodyguards. In fact, Taron Stahan and others do not believe in North American police officers.
People protesting at the scene and people who saw DC came out, and the situation became even more turbulent.
Fortunately, no big chaos really occurred. This is actually due to the fact that information transmission in this era is not as exaggerated as in later generations.
In this era, there are no computers or smart phones yet, so naturally there are no various social software, and there is no way to attract more people with ulterior motives to gather here.
Under the protection of bodyguards and company executives, Terrence Stahan stood at the company's entrance with a smile on his face and a speaker in his hand, ensuring that everyone present could hear his voice.
"First of all, the company is very grateful for everyone's love for our company. In order to better give back to readers, the company has specially decided to hold a grand DC Comics Exhibition in Los Angeles. At that time, the company will invite Hollywood movie stars to py the characters in the comics with you.
All roles"
Terrence Stahan did not explain too much about Fantasy Comics' acquisition of DC, but instead focused the main content of this conversation on the upcoming Comic Expo.
In their discussion with Chu Huan yesterday, the original discussion was to let DC and Marvel jointly hold a comic exhibition, but they thought that fans of the two companies would probably have some unfriendly behavior, so after a long discussion
After discussion, it was decided to separate the comic exhibitions in two different places.
At the same time, during the detailed discussions, we also talked about how to increase the influence of this comic exhibition, and finally decided to invite Hollywood movie stars to py the characters in the comics.
Although this will significantly increase the cost of this comic exhibition, it can also better promote comics.
"In addition, at this comic exhibition, our company will also announce its investment in the filming of a full-length animation featuring superheroes from DC comics. As for which superhero to choose, the company will set up a voting session at the comic exhibition.
, the superheroes with the highest votes will get their own independent cartoons."
When Harold Cooper heard that DC was going to launch fan animation, he subconsciously shouted, "I want Batman animation!"
After shouting, Harold Cooper remembered that he came to protest, so why did he fall into such a trap now?
Terrence Stahan obviously heard Harold Cooper's words and said with a smile, "Of course, as long as you can mobilize more friends to vote for Batman, as long as he can get the highest number of votes, he will naturally become
The first cartoon released by DC!
Not only that, in the future, our DC will also launch other superhero cartoons one after another."
After Terrence Stahan's introduction, the protest voice at the scene was obviously much quieter.
Then Harold Cooper dropped another bombshell.
"In addition, in order to thank everyone for supporting DC for so many years, at this comic exhibition, our company will also launch a lottery. The lucky winner who wins the first place will not only receive generous rewards, but the company will also use this
A superhero will be launched as a prototype for one lucky person, no matter male or female, young or old.”
Wow!
This announcement can be said to have directly ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
Who doesn’t want to be the protagonist in the comics they often read? If you like reading these superhero comics, don’t you just hope that you can have the super powers that those superheroes have?
Is there such an opportunity now?
It was with this announcement that there were no more voices of protest at the scene, and only cheers remained.
These protesters are still very pure.
With these things as a foreshadowing, the rest of what Terrence Stahan announced seemed to be very natural.
For example, if you want to participate in a comic exhibition, it is very simple. You only need to go to the Youth Toys R Us in your local city to get the registration form. At the same time, you must wear a superhero uniform when attending the comic exhibition.
It seems like this is just a simple registration condition.
But in fact, this has brought huge profits to youth toys and DC.
Because the North American Youth Toys R Us will launch large-scale DC and Marvel themed events, focusing on peripheral toys from these two comic companies. Of course, these toys also include various superhero shirts.
How could a senior DC comics fan resist chopping off his hands after seeing such a situation!
Now it is obviously too late to ask Youth Toy Factory to produce it, so we can only hurry up and produce it from the previous partners of these two major comic companies.
But after this incident is over, Youth Toy Factory will gradually take back the production rights of the two major comic companies.
Continue to maintain the closed-loop operation of the comic company under Chu Huan's name.
Protests naturally cease to exist.
This is not only true on the DC side, but also on the Marvel side.
But this also indirectly caused another heated discussion, that is, comic fans of the two comic companies began to argue about what kind of movie stars should be invited to play the superheroes in their minds.
From the initial discussion, to the end, someone suddenly discovered that someone actually chose the same movie star to py two superheroes from different companies.
The discussion turned into an argument, even a quarrel.
For a time, this incident appeared in some North American gossip magazines and newspapers, and became an entertainment phenomenon in North America.
Naturally, the popularity of this comic exhibition has been raised to several levels.
After discovering such a problem, Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan immediately decided to add fuel to the controversy after discussion.
As a result, the activities of the two major comic exhibitions were successfully launched.
It is no longer just spread in the comic circle, but also many passers-by are involved, such as fans of various movie stars, and some simple people who eat melons.
Immediately afterwards, the two comic companies immediately contacted some Hollywood stars and asked them to express their love for certain superheroes in public.
In an interview, Hollywood golden boy Robert Redford declared that he is a big fan of Captain America.
Al Pacino, who starred in the "Godfather" series, claims to be a fan of Batman.
Alan Arkin, who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, said that he likes Superman very much.
Every Hollywood star who gets paid by Fantasy Comics is starting to claim that he is a fan of a certain DC or Marvel superhero.
This event, under such publicity and operation, became more and more influential, and finally became a hot topic in the United States.
And under such an environment, the most intuitive manifestation is that the sales of comics and peripheral sales of DC and Marvel have repeatedly hit new highs.
Chu Huan made a lot of money here, selling DC, Marvel, Warner Bros., and Cadence Industrial Company, but he fainted in the toilet from crying.
The Wall Street Journal!
Warren Phillip listened to Jack O'Brien with a gloomy face at this time as he talked about how the protests in front of the two comic companies were resolved.
In the beginning, Warren Philip never took Chu Huan seriously, even though Chu Huan was the richest man in Hong Kong and the richest Chinese.
But Chu Huan's influence is in Xiangjiang and Asia. Although his business is quite large in Europe and the United States, his influence in Europe and the United States is not great.
But as his side suffered defeat at the hands of Chu Huan one after another, the disgust and importance in his heart finally increased.
The person who I thought I could handle easily turned out not to be the case at all. How could I possibly make Warren Philip feel happy?
"Is there no way to make this Chu Huan feel ugly?"
Jack O'Brien said, "Bo, the main reason is that we know too little about Chu Huan now. I think we should wait and see what happens now, and wait for our people to investigate him clearly before targeting him!"
In fact, the fundamental reason is that both Warren Phillippe and Jack O'Brien understand that their "Wall Street Journal" does have the ability to guide the direction of public opinion.
But this is more about finance or listed companies based in North America, even New York, and what is Chu Huan's business in North America?
Clothing, movies, animation, and games are all different from what they are good at. The audience groups of these industries are not the same group as the readers of the Wall Street Journal at all.
In other words, their influence on Chu Huan's business can be said to be very weak.
After hearing what Jack O'Brien said, Warren Philip knew that this could only be the case.
However, Warren Phillip certainly would not give up so easily, so after agreeing with Jack O'Brien's suggestion, he still warned.
"Don't forget to pay close attention to Chu Huan's business in North America. As long as we think about it, we will definitely be able to find a way!"
Jack O'Brien nodded.
After solving the problems with DC and Marvel, Chu Huan returned to focusing on acquiring shares in Ford Motor Company.
For this reason, Chu Huan made a special appointment with the presidents of Chase Bank of North America and First Boston Bank.
Unlike the "Wall Street Journal", the presidents of these two banks would never look down on Chu Huan. Both parties happily agreed to Chu Huan's invitation and met with Chu Huan respectively.
After learning about Chu Huan's request for a loan, he naturally had no objections.
They even hoped that Chu Huan could borrow more.
They had no doubts about Chu Huan's ability to repay.
Even when they met for the first time, they said that they could immediately prepare all the loan matters for Chu Huan, but Chu Huan refused. Chu Huan just needed their funds as a backup. As for whether they could use them in the end, it was still two
Say it.
Both of them expressed some regrets about such a result, but there was nothing they could do about it.
When facing big customers, they need to show their respect.
After finishing the interview with the presidents of the two major banks, Chu Huan came to kkr again. In the past few days, Chu Huan had been distracted by the comics company. Kkr had been responsible for the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.
"Now that we have reached an agreement with them, all that remains is to sign the stock sales contract!"
Jerry Kohlberg talks to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "One billion dollars has been deposited into the company's account, and we can proceed!"
Jerry Kolberg reminded Chu Huan, "If this acquisition is completed, then we will be exposed, and then there will be no way to continue such secret operations!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I never thought about operating secretly. I want the entire North America to know about this."
Jerry Kohlberg said, "If that were the case, we wouldn't have any problems here!"
South Korea, Seoul, Gangnam District, inside Zheng Juyong’s manor!
"Is there any action on Chu Huan's side?"
In Zheng Zhouyong's study, Zheng Zhouyong asked his younger brother Zheng Shiyong.
"No, there's no movement at all!" Zheng Shiyong shook his head, and then smiled and said, "I think it's what you guessed, brother. Chu Huan's so-called declaration of war is just a joke. He has no ability to declare war on our company.
."
Zheng Zhouyong showed a satisfied smile and said, "It seems that he wants to deal with this matter coldly!"
"It should be like this!" Zheng Shiyong said with the same smile.
This incident, so far, has not had the slightest influence on Hyundai Group except that Zheng Mongzhun was beaten twice.
"The Sword Comes"
But Chu Huan’s Jiaku series has lost the market in South Korea.
Brothers Zheng Zhouyong and Zheng Shiyong naturally have reasons to be happy.
"Now this matter cannot be handled coldly if he wants to!" After being happy, Zheng Zhouyong said coldly, "Immediately arrange for our people in Xiangjiang to inform the Oriental Daily and South China Morning Post in Xiangjiang.
After announcing the fact that Chu Huan has not taken any action, I want to see how Chu Huan can restore his reputation."
Zheng Shiyong reminded, "It's just that the two newspapers in Xiangjiang are seeking Chu Huan's forgiveness for the previous report. Now if they are asked to publish such content, will they do it?"
Zheng Zhouyong smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that Chu Huan has not forgiven those two newspapers. Since he has not forgiven him, those two newspapers should not be afraid of anything anymore."
Zheng Shiyong nodded and said, "I understand!"
Zheng Zhouyong continued, "You have to remember that our goal is to make Chu Huan take the initiative to beg us, so at this stage, we must not let Chu Huan just let this matter go unanswered!"
Zheng Shiyong said, "I will ask our people in Xiangjiang to donate part of the funds to those two newspapers!"
"good!"
After talking about Chu Huan's story, Zheng Shiyong, who was in charge of Hyundai Motor, told Zheng Zhouyong, "Brother, news just came from Ford Motor Company. They are not willing to accept our technicians to study with them, and they are opposed to us thinking about it."
Learn from Ben’s Mitsubishi!”
When Hyundai Motor was founded, in order to obtain North American automotive technology, it chose a joint venture with Ford Motor Company. However, as Japanese cars began to capture the North American market, Zheng Zhouyong and Zheng Shiyong also began to set their sights on Japanese car companies.
Want to learn from them.
And their target is Japan's Mitsubishi!
When Zheng Zhouyong heard Ford's request, the pride on his face disappeared, and he said helplessly, "Fly to North America in person, meet with Ford II, and try to win their consent. Now the global oil price is getting less and less.
Once it is stable, Japan’s low fuel consumption cars will be our main direction in the future!”
"clear!"
