Chapter 812 Global Giant Mobil

Fantasy Kingdom, after losing Disney and the name, feels like a dead end.

Whether it is the cooperation with real estate developers, or the promotion of new animation characters, when the film is released, there will always be inexplicable resistance.

It was as if there was a big invisible hand, constantly looking for trouble.

Li Zitao attributed this to 'fate', although this thing is illusory, no one can try to prove its existence.

But since he can come to this world from the earth, what does fate matter?

If you talk about things like 'fate' and 'luck', no matter how bad he is as a time traveler, he should be dozens or hundreds of times stronger than Disney.

"Without Butcher Zhang, I still have to eat hairy pigs?" Muttering to himself, Li Zitao decided to hand over the "Dream Kingdom" to Weta Special Effects.

Moreover, Howard will get his support to push this matter forward with all his strength.

Disney's success is not only due to his love of animation, but also because he is a master of sales.

There is a saying: "Wang Po sells melons, sells melons, sells melons!"

It sounded full of sarcasm, but Li Zitao felt that in order to be successful, everyone had to learn to be a 'Wang Po. '

The era when the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys is being eliminated, especially in the future!

Behind every success, there is a huge and rigorous team silently paying for it, after countless possible calculations, backup, emergency plans and so on.

Accidental success exists, but it is also unsustainable and irreproducible.

If you want to continue to be successful, you can only be forgotten by "chance".

It's very simple to make the name 'Disney' come to mind again. You just need to bring out his success and put it clearly in front of everyone.

As a result, the long-released "Steamboat Willie" was once again put on screens in various places, and the past of Mr. Disney who disappeared also appeared in newspapers.

It touted the talent and success of "Disney" in a big way, and finally pointed out as if casually, that "Disney" is now owned by DreamWorks.

The effect of the publicity was dramatic, and soon talk of 'Disney,' animation was re-emerging on the streets of Hollywood.

People, especially kids, love animation and never get tired of it.

They can watch "Steamboat Willie" dozens of times without getting bored, as long as economic conditions permit.

Animated and live-action versions of "Snow White" have also been brought back to the big screen.

It was a time of war, people were in panic, and the atmosphere was full of depression every day.

The reappearing animation makes people forget their troubles and immerse themselves in this funny, simple and straightforward animation world.

"Los Angeles Times", "Tribune", "Briefing", "Hollywood Daily" and so on, all tracked and reported on the revived animation wind.

In just a few days, the entire United States seemed to be completely conquered by animation.

It was at this time that the animation studio under DreamWorks struck while the iron was hot and launched a new animated character, Winnie the Pooh.

Simple, honest, considerate, gluttonous, and cute, Winnie the Pooh was loved by the public as soon as it was released in this time shrouded in war and lies.

No matter women or children, they all fell in love with this stupid but kind stupid bear.

…………

December 25, 1939.

The Yule Ball was held as scheduled at the Castle of Dreams at the end of Highway 1, and more people attended than last year.

Moreover, there are also many guests from countries across the ocean this year.

The situation in Europe became more and more serious. In the non-aggression pact signed by Germany and the Soviet Union, there was a secret agreement that the two countries divided their spheres of influence among Eastern European countries, and Finland was assigned to the Soviet Union.

Beginning in October this year, the Soviet Union urgently summoned the Finnish ambassador to Moscow for a meeting and put forward a series of harsh territorial division requirements.

The most controversial of these is the Hanko Peninsula. As a natural barrier to defend the Soviet Union, Moscow wants to divide it into its own territory.

This made Finland suspicious.

They began to suspect that this was a conspiracy by the Soviet Union to annex Finland. If the Hanko Peninsula was handed over, they would lose their ability to stop the Soviet army.

The Finnish government strongly rejected the request of the Soviet Union, which also caused the recent "Manila incident," which developed into the current stage of the "Winter War." '

On November 30, the Soviet Union officially declared war on Finland, causing a worldwide uproar.

The League of Nations, which exists in name only, is performing its final performance. On December 14, a general meeting was held and a resolution was passed to expel the Soviet Union from the League of Nations.

But such a move was not painful to the Soviet Union. The hostility and incompetence of Western countries were undoubtedly exposed in Germany's several provocations.

In countries such as Britain and France, there have been remarks about declaring war on the Soviet Union, which has made entrepreneurs in the two countries more and more uneasy.

At this time, the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell from the UK urgently wanted to meet Li Zitao.

The atmosphere of Britain declaring war against the Soviet Union was getting higher and higher. People took to the streets and loudly called for the fight for 'freedom and democracy'.

But at the same time, Britain and France have officially declared war on Germany, and a large-scale war may break out at any time.

This also caused the price of war materials to soar, but it was at this juncture that Shell's largest supplier had problems.

Mobil's crude oil orders need to be reconsidered and adjusted due to war factors, which can seriously damage Dutch Shell, which has strategic reserves.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

If Britain, France and other countries really started wars against the Soviet Union and Germany at the same time, the existing crude oil reserves of Dutch Shell would not be enough.

Whether it is a car on the ground, an airplane in the sky, or a ship or a submarine in the sea, all of them are inseparable from the supply of gasoline.

Moreover, Shell received news that Mobil intends to reduce crude oil supply orders from Europe, carry out strategic reserves and increase support to the Far East.

Washington expressed strong dissatisfaction with Japan's actions that harmed the interests of the United States in the Far East. At the same time, it decided to reach an agreement with China to support it in launching a full-scale war of resistance.

From April of this year to the present, Washington has provided Huaguo with a total of US$60 million in military supplies and an interest-free loan of US$100 million. ;

And President Roosevelt personally announced that these aids are just the beginning. If Japan does not stop its brutal aggression, it will increase its support to China in the future.

Washington's inclination and the president's foreign speech made Britain and Shell very worried.

Once Mobil increases its investment in the Far East and increases its local war reserves, the crude oil that can be left to them will be greatly reduced.

This is extremely unfavorable to countries such as Britain and France that are about to start a large-scale war.

Mobil controls more than half of the crude oil production in the global market, and its importance even exceeds that of some small countries in some respects.

Because of this, the CEO of Shell in the Netherlands took great pains to entrust a friend to help him get an invitation to travel across the ocean to attend this lively dance party.
