Chapter 795 No Matter the Cost

Barry Diller was not invited, Michael Eisner is not realistic now, Katzenberg is even less likely, and Yin Jun is really in a bit of a dilemma as Disney CEO.

As Tang Shuxuan said, she is the person who selects directors and producers, so she can manage United Artists Film Company, but Disney, a comprehensive company, is beyond her power.

Both Disney and United Artists Film Company belong to the American branch of Kirin. In the future, the two will slowly merge and make United Artists' film production a sub-brand of Disney, just like Touchstone, Lucasfilm, and Marvel. , but its distribution channels will be merged with Disney’s existing channels.

But this is for the future. We have just bought two companies and if we merge them immediately, I am afraid it will make people panic and do bad things.

After they adapted to the management of Kirin Group and achieved certain results, they could slowly merge the two companies.

The position of Disney's president must be held concurrently by Tang Shuxuan, but the one who is truly responsible is the executive president.

If there is really no good candidate, Perez, the first vice president to lean on him, may be a good choice.

Yin Jun doesn't need much talent from Perez, as long as he can be obedient, then the young man will not be stingy about giving him a high salary and letting him temporarily take charge of Disney.

After all, Perez has been at Disney for more than ten years and is familiar with everyone from top to bottom. It is much more convenient for him to deploy resources than for Yin Jun to send people.

But in the long run, Perez is still not suitable to be the CEO of Disney. Yin Jun still likes pioneering talents like Michael Eisner and Robert Iger, so that Yin Jun can leave Disney alone and let it follow the past. The trajectory of steady development.

With Yin Jun's support, Disney will definitely become the giant that it was in its previous life, or even become even more powerful.

Thinking of this, Yin Jun was not so entangled and decided to use Perez first. It was better than letting Disney's nephew and son-in-law manage it, right?

Those two guys hated Yin Jun, but they had no choice but to sell their shares to Yin Jun. The law in the United States is like this. Once the shareholding exceeds a certain proportion, The stock trading department has agreed to forceful privatization, and the money will be credited directly to your account without your consent at all.

As for the director of "The Lion King", since the directors of the original work have not yet joined Disney, Yin Jun did not interfere.

After he handed the script to Perez, he mentioned something about the CEO. The guy immediately became extremely motivated, patting his chest and saying that he must do a good job in this script and do it according to Yin Jun's requirements.

Yin Jun even wrote the detailed 120-minute plot, and even asked Tang Jiaxuan to translate it before coming to the United States.

If they can't even do this painting and production, it really isn't Disney.

No matter how depressed a person is, he still has this last bit of foundation.

With Yin Jun's promise, Tang Jiaxuan has been running in these two companies for the past two days. On the one hand, he is checking the accounts and sorting out the relationship, and on the other hand, he is also inspecting the first batch of people to be eliminated and promoted.

There is an emperor and a minister, and this is true everywhere.

Americans are also very discerning, especially when the company has become a private company.

It happened that Yin Jun received a call from Zou Wenhuai and discussed the release of "Red Zone" in April.

The young man thought about it for a while and agreed.

Originally, he hadn't thought about "Red Zone". He was only thinking about his "Speed ​​of Life and Death". Now that he thought about it, "Red Zone" was very popular in the United States in his previous life. There was no reason for Cheng Long to become a star in this life. Younger and more energetic, Americans will not like it.

After "Red Zone" in April, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" will be released in the summer season in July and August, which is just in time to catch up.

For Yin Jun, as long as it is an excellent Xiangjiang movie, or even a Baodao movie, he is eager to distribute it all over the world.

From this point of view, Yin Jun's mind is broad enough.

His pattern is in the entire Chinese-language film industry, not his own.

If you want to break Hollywood's monopoly on movies around the world, you can only achieve it by gathering the power of more people.

As for whether they will steal the spotlight and whether they will make a lot of bad movies, you can rest assured.

Yin Jun has integrated distribution channels and will establish his own theater chain in the United States in the future. Whether Chinese-language films can be distributed on a large scale in the United States and Europe depends on his face.

At that time, Yin Jun only needs to establish an internal censorship system to remove those messy movies and only release outstanding movies that are meaningful or good-looking. This will not be difficult.

…

After acquiring three companies, plus MTV's surprise investment in shares, Yin Jun has almost done all the business in the United States, with only one thing left.

Purchase various mobile phone patents.

Whether it is Motorola, IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, Ericsson, Samsung, Siemens, Nokia, etc., as long as it has a patent, Yin Jun is willing to acquire it.

But how to acquire it depends on methods.

It's definitely not possible to buy things one by one by yourself.

These companies are not street stalls where anyone who buys something will sell it.

Only when you find the right person and the right relationship can you easily get what you want.

In this way, except for several large multinational investment banks, Yin Jun really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Mobile phones are actually very clear now.

In addition to Motorola, several other companies have prototypes of mobile phones. For example, Nokia will follow Motorola and launch its own mobile phone.

Mobile phones also appeared in Siemens’ laboratories.

Companies such as Samsung also have many technology patents related to mobile phones.

But everyone has two questions, and these are the most important questions.

The first problem is that the raw materials and components of mobile phones are too heavy. It is fine to use them on the battlefield and in satellite technology. If you carry them on the street, they will weigh at least several kilograms, which will only cause more trouble for people. convenient.

The second problem is more serious.

The current price of mobile phones is too expensive. The cost plus profit will cost at least three to four thousand per unit.

Then use the built communication tower for communication, and the communication cost will not be cheap. It costs one or two dollars per minute, not to mention the expensive monthly rent. The price is very scary. ——You read that right. Initially in the United States, mobile phones had monthly rental fees, and they still exist today. So this is not something we in China invented, it is purely learned.

Any electronic product can only generate benefits and make money if it is quickly promoted, marketed and used on a large scale.

Now everyone is worried about whether it will be popular after its launch and whether anyone will buy it.

If everyone does not accept this expensive communication tool, it will be a very troublesome matter, and losses of tens or even hundreds of millions will be simply unbearable.

Therefore, many companies still lock this technology in the laboratory. Although there are finished products, the specific time when they will be launched has yet to be determined.

Before everyone launched mobile phones and didn't realize how eager people were to shorten the distance between people, it was very possible for Yin Jun to purchase various patent licenses for mobile phones, or buy them outright.

Colauti was surprised when he heard Yin Jun's purchase of mobile phone patents, "Mr. Yin, do you think mobile phones will have great development prospects in the future? You are actually willing to pay such a high price?"

Yin Jun's requirement for the senior partner of Goldman Sachs is to purchase as many patents as possible, and secondly, to obtain patent authorization, and there is no limit to the quantity, as much as he wants.

Colauti and Yin Jun had been dealing with each other for a long time on the acquisitions of Disney and United Artists. Although he prided himself on being "one of the smartest people in the world", he did not dare to say that he was more intelligent and talented than anyone else. Passing Yin Jun - Anyone who has seen Yin Jun's rise would not dare to think like this. It is simply something that only a natural talent can do.

So when he heard the news, his first reaction was what he just said.

Because Yin Jun is so smart, he will definitely not invest so much in an unknown project, so the only possibility is that the development of mobile phones is unlimited!

Goldman Sachs does not want to do all kinds of business. They usually do high-end business and leave the mid- to low-end business to others.

On the one hand, it focuses on high-end products, and on the other hand, it also gives others a sip of soup.

If mobile phones are really so promising, then Gao Shen will pay close attention to several companies with mobile phone production capabilities to see if there are any opportunities to make a fortune.

Naturally, Yin Jun would not tell the truth, "I think this method of communication is very interesting. If it can be developed to the point where it can be used with one hand, it may become the best supplement to the fixed phone. Now the fixed phone has How big is the market? Even if a mobile phone has only one-tenth of the market because it is very expensive, it is still a big business. Now that I have prepared technical reserves in advance, I will be qualified to step in and develop this mobile phone business in Asia. business."

Colauti nodded slightly.

Although he felt that Yin Jun had not finished speaking, the overall idea was still clear.

Before the rapid changes in this era, even the smartest people could not have imagined the changes in the next few years or more than ten years.

Colauti would not know that as mobile phones become more and more lightweight and durable, as base stations are continuously laid, and as technology continues to advance, mobile phone costs continue to decrease, resulting in more and more people using mobile phones. Eventually, within just 30 years, mobile phones completed the 100-year journey that fixed telephones took.

Then wait another 10 years. With the popularity of smart phones, mobile phones will basically completely eliminate landline phones. This is something no one expected.

Motorola developed the mobile phone in 1973. In recent years, Motorola has been promoting the development of mobile phones, so Colauti is no stranger to mobile phones.

Colauti just thinks that the mobile phone may be used as an advanced communication tool, which can replace some of the functions of fixed telephones. It may not be as simple, fast and easy to use as a pager.

However, since Yin Jun is optimistic about mobile phones, Colauti feels that he still needs to pay more attention to Motorola. Even if mobile phones cannot be popularized, it can at most be a matter of spending more time and effort.

Naturally, Yin Jun would not tell Colauti that in fact, after the acquisition of the mobile phone patents, he would immediately poach the technical elites of several major companies and establish his own mobile phone patent R&D laboratory in North America.

With Yin Jun's decades of mobile phone knowledge that transcends the times, he can ensure that his laboratory team develops without any detours.

In this way, in five years at most, my laboratory will become a first-class existence!

The purpose of the laboratory's existence is not just for feature phones, but smartphones are their ultimate research and development direction!
