Chapter 301 Who is the leader?
Within two days, Li Zetian learned from Dongfang Yuqin that many Hong Kong film company bosses had personally sent him congratulatory messages to celebrate his successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
"Mr. Li, Hong Kong film companies are all flattering and trying to please you!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a sweet smile.
"Just right!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "Since they want to please me, then I will let them please. I want to see who has the best attitude! Dongfang Yuqin, please go ahead and let Bowei Film and Television Company take the opportunity to acquire the Hong Kong Cinema. Line!!! Since they want to enter the US market, they must first give up the Hong Kong theater market!"
Hong Kong film companies generally own their own theaters to avoid being choked by others. The U.S. film market is different. The law stipulates that film companies cannot own theater chains. However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Hollywood movie giants usually secretly control many theater chains through cross-shareholdings in multiple parties.
However, if American film companies hold overseas theater chains but are allowed to do so, the U.S. government has no control over it. This matter falls under the control of the local government.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: "If this happens, I'm afraid some film companies will really give up the release date!"

20th Century Fox, a luxurious room.
Nikita stood in front of a mirror. The stunning beauty in the mirror was completely naked. Her alluring body was like the most outstanding work of God. The front was convex and the back was curved. Her skin was like gelatin. Her figure was so good that it was hard to control herself. Li Zetian Fortunately, I didn't see her body that day, otherwise I would have been unbearable that night.
"Am I not attractive? Why did Chronos Li deliberately avoid me...?" Nikita frowned slightly and murmured.
"However, the godfather can get many things that make Chronos Li obsessed, such as Iranian oil, African ores, Soviet arms, technology, and talents... He said that he will definitely find a way to make Chronos Li obsessed with me. With the help of Chronos Li, the godfather's career will flourish. Moreover, Chronos Li has a very good relationship with President Reagan of the United States. It would be great if he could intercede for the godfather in front of President Reagan! But Uncle Davis has already I invited him but he didn’t join. Isn’t he not interested in oil?”
Nikita was a little confused. Since the oil crisis broke out, everyone knew how valuable oil was. Chronos Li is a businessman, how could he not be tempted?
In fact, how could Li Zetian not be tempted? He had also coveted oil for a long time.
Of course, the reason why Li Zetian rejected M. Davis's kindness was not because he knew that he had actually been plotted, but because he had not yet decided whether to enter this industry. And this kind of calculation is actually a blessing and even profitable for him.
"Since Chronos Li is very optimistic about "Alien 2", then I will be the producer of this movie. After the filming of the movie is completed, I will find an excuse for him to come to the company to watch the movie." Nikita smiled brightly. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, just like a lazy Persian cat squinting in the sun.
…
When the film companies in Hong Kong received the news hinted by Li Zetian, they all remained silent.
Although Li Zetian wants to spend money to buy their theater chain, selling the theater chain means giving up the initiative and may be controlled by others in the future.
However, a company soon broke this silence and took the lead in giving up its theater chain to Bowei Pictures. Although this company is not a big company, Li Zetian reciprocated and promised to help them distribute movies. If foreign theaters do not like Hong Kong movies, they will not distribute video tapes. Netflix, owned by Li Zetian, is the largest video rental and sales company in the world. . There are still many Chinese people in the United States and even around the world. Hong Kong films naturally have a certain market. If they are distributed in multiple places, they can make more money.
As for the film companies that have sold the movie theaters, they don’t have to worry too much that Bu Wei Pictures will choke their necks. Bu Wei Pictures solemnly promises to be fair and just. As long as the quality of the film is good, the number of screens will naturally increase. It is impossible not to have money. Make money? If the quality of the film is poor and the reputation is poor, then the theater chain cannot lose money and naturally has to reduce the number of screens.
With the first one, there will naturally be a second one, a third one...
Many film companies in Hong Kong have given up their cinemas, but these are small companies, because they do not have many resources to begin with, and they cannot be of much use. When their films are released, they still have to watch Shaw Brothers, The expressions of companies such as Jiahe and Xinyi City. Now that you have Li Zetian’s ridiculously thick thighs, why don’t you hug them quickly?
And big companies know the importance of theater chains, so naturally they won't give up on their own theater chains so easily.
However, as time goes by, they will know how much value the combined resources of Disney, 20th Century Fox and Netflix can create for a movie company! ! This is by no means what the tiny Hong Kong can offer...
In Li Zetian's study, Dongfang Yuqin brought another good news.
She smiled and said: "Mr. Li, there is good news from Germany. Evolution Robot Company successfully acquired the German TRUMPF Group for US$650 million. In addition, negotiations with Carl Zeiss of East Germany were also very successful. Progress, the other party is also interested in selling, but the price has not been negotiated yet!"
"very good!"
Li Zetian was delighted. Germany's TRUMPF Group leads the world in the fields of industrial machine tools, laser technology and electronic technology, and can enable the Evolver Robot Company to grow rapidly.
"Arrange TRUMPF Group to cooperate with Seagate to jointly develop DVD!"
"yes!"
After the Oriental Jade Qin went down, the corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly. The technical difficulties should be overcome. Then there is the establishment of DVD standards, which cannot be separated from the support of Hollywood film companies. At present, he owns Disney and 20th Century Fox in his name, establishing a DVD standards are not difficult.
CD profits have already made Seagate a lot of money, and DVDs will only make more!
Li Zetian stood up and looked out the window with a smile. Who is leading the way in this era? Only I, Li Zetian, am! ! !
…
The economy of East Germany was far worse than that of West Germany. In the 1960s, West Germany's GNP exceeded that of Britain and France; in the 1980s, West Germany had become the third largest economic country in the world. Separated by a wall, East Germany had people sneaking across the Berlin Wall to West Germany every day.
Carl Zeiss in East Germany has no orders from the Soviet Union. It has been really miserable these years. Thousands of workers need to be fed, but the company cannot make money, which has become a headache for the East German government.
The East German government could still accept Li Zetian as the successor. However, Carl Zeiss was asked to stay in Germany.
Regarding this point, Li Zetian naturally has no problem at all. He knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
As December approached, the East German government finally sold Carl Zeiss to Li Zetian for a purchase price of US$800 million.
As soon as the news came out, the most shocked company was Carl Zeiss in West Germany.
Because the two companies were originally one company, and then split into two companies, becoming each other's biggest competitors.
Over the years, calls for a merger between West Germany and East Germany have become louder and louder, and the two Carl Zeiss also intend to merge. However, due to the different political systems of the governments of East and West Germany, it is difficult to take this step.
However, Li Zetian does not care about the political system. The former East German Carl Zeiss was a state-owned enterprise, but now it belongs to him. Therefore, he wants to promote the merger of the two Carl Zeiss companies.
The two Carl Zeiss companies join forces to become unrivaled in the field of optics!
Therefore, just after acquiring Carl Zeiss in East Germany, Li Zetian ordered people to go to Carl Zeiss in West Germany non-stop to discuss the merger of the two companies.
The two companies were originally in love with each other, so with Li Zetian's help, they quickly reached a merger agreement.
Less than 10 days later, the two companies held a press conference to announce the merger.
Li Zetian invested US$400 million in the merged Carl Zeiss, served as chairman of Carl Zeiss, and held 72.5% of the company's shares.
After completing this series of actions, Li Zetian was overjoyed. Even a cutting-edge technology company like Carl Zeiss belonged to him. It was so cool, including spectacle lenses, microscopes, head-mounted displays, astronomical planetariums, cameras, digital cameras, and surveillance cameras. , mobile phone cameras, etc., why don’t you let me develop them? !
It goes without saying how big the future smartphone market will be. The camera function of a mobile phone is one of the keys to its success or failure.
What vivo illuminates your beauty, OPPO's most beautiful photos, etc. are all catering to people's requirements for taking pictures.
Taking selfies has become a way of life and a fashion.
In the previous life, many mobile phone companies used Sony for their cameras. However, in the field of optics, Sony was nothing compared to Carl Zeiss. It learned its skills from Carl Zeiss. Sony is doomed to be unlucky in this life! Li Zetian has become the boss of Carl Zeiss, and he also knows the general trend of the future. Then Sony will no longer want to learn technology from Carl Zeiss, because I won’t teach him! ! !
