Chapter 1414 Reasons for Helplessness
Mitsui Jiro who was in the research institute was completely different from Mitsui Jiro who was in the Nonoka Tea Room yesterday.
Yesterday, he was the spokesperson of the Mitsui family, and he was the most powerful figure in this country and even in the whole of Asia.
Today, he is just an ordinary intelligence officer in the research institute, with at most the title of person in charge.
But it was such an ordinary character that made Yang Cheng see a trace of humanity in him.
Compared with yesterday's slightly dark aura, today's Mitsui Jiro is much more sunny.
Especially when introducing the intelligence network that the Mitsui Family Group is proud of to Yang Cheng, it was like an ordinary hawker selling his own products, sparing no effort.
However, what puzzled Yang Cheng was why Jiro Mitsui was so enthusiastic? Even showed Yang Cheng the top secret of the Mitsui consortium?
Although he said that the intelligence network is no longer a secret, many foreign institutions and companies even come to visit and study.
However, according to Koji Ito, shouldn't he be angry with himself?
"Mr. Mitsui, your intelligence network is so powerful that I have never heard of it before, but I think that you deliberately arranged the meeting place at the research institute. It shouldn't be just to show me the strength of the intelligence network, right?"
Mitsui Jiro put away his smile, "Of course, but before that, why don't you tell me why you came here, Koji told me, do you have some good ideas to share?"
Yang Cheng suppressed his doubts, nodded and said, "That's right, Sony Entertainment's situation in recent years has not been much better than that of JDI. Columbia Pictures' performance has been declining year after year. Even if it hasn't reached the point of losing money, it still can't make much money. At least compared to other Hollywood competitors, the gap is getting wider.
Why don't you sell it as soon as possible while it still has some value? In exchange for a large sum of money to subsidize Sony Entertainment, and even higher-level parent companies. "
"Columbia Pictures~" Mitsui Jiro murmured lightly.
Then he asked, "Are you planning to use New Era Pictures for mergers and acquisitions?"
Yang Cheng affirmed, "Yes, the merger of New Era Pictures and Columbia Pictures will far surpass Universal and Warner, and even hope to compete with Disney.
With the intelligence network of the Mitsui family, Mr. Mitsui should be very clear that once the merger of Disney and Fox is successful, Hollywood will enter a new era. In order to deal with this acquisition of the century, if other rivals do not want to be crushed by Disney, they can only join forces. , Together to fight against Disney's hegemony.
Maybe it will set off a wave of crazy mergers and acquisitions, the six will become the five, and in the end it is very likely to become a situation where the three pillars stand together, or even the two powers compete for hegemony.
If the two of us can cooperate first, we will undoubtedly have the upper hand in this war. "
Mitsui Jiro remained silent, unable to tell what he was thinking, so Yang Cheng could only go further, "From the end of the last century to the present, for more than 40 years, Hollywood has continuously staged a history of the rise and fall of giants.
From the golden age of Hollywood initially represented by the five companies of MGM, 20th Century Fox, RKO, Warner Bros., and Paramount, to the period of the eight major Hollywood eras with the rise of Columbia, Disney, and Universal Pictures, and then After RKO exited the film industry and Sony annexed MGM and Columbia, now, once the deal is completed, Hollywood will turn into five giants: Disney, Sony Columbia, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal Pictures.
The multiple evolutions also reflect the increasingly fierce market competition, the battle between several giants, the market share and the box office chasing after each other, and no one dares to crush other opponents.
Especially in the past five years, that is, between 2011 and 2016, the six Hollywood giants have been the box office champions for a year, but since this year, Disney, which holds Marvel, Fox and many IP series, has shown its glory. I dare say that if we don't respond better, the box office champions of the next few years will already be in Disney's pocket.
It was Sony that led the acquisition wave of the century last time.
So no one knows better than Mr. Mitsui the effects of the alliance between giants. "
Mitsui Jiro pressed his hands, "Your expression is very clear, and I also understand the benefits of cooperation, but the question is why does it have to be New Era Pictures?"
Yang Cheng smiled wryly, "Although this answer makes me helpless, you should know that among today's Hollywood giants, who can truly cooperate fairly with Columbia Pictures, except New Era Pictures?"
The implication is that New Era Films is not strong enough, so it will not want to monopolize the benefits in the cooperation, because it has to consider the backlash of Columbia Pictures.
But what about cooperating with other major companies? Its strength itself is stronger than that of Columbia Pictures. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a merger, but an acquisition, especially the media giants behind those companies, will they allow RB people to get a piece of the pie in their own territory?
It is impossible to think with your toes.
Mitsui Jiro nodded slowly, seeming to agree with Yang Cheng's words.
Of course, Yang Cheng will not give up his dominance because of this, and mergers and acquisitions also have to be prioritized, but cooperating with Yang Cheng can ensure that Sony is still profitable, and cooperating with others is not necessarily the case.
Mitsui Jiro has never been indecisive, and Yang Cheng's proposal moved him very much, but whether it is feasible or not needs to be carefully arranged, after all, the Mitsui consortium is not owned by him alone.
"Yang Xiaoyou, I will seriously consider this matter and give you an answer as soon as possible."
Yang Cheng heard the hidden meaning in Jiro Mitsui's words, nodded and said, "Looking forward to good news from Mr. Mitsui."
His story was finished, this time it was Mitsui Jiro's turn to talk about his purpose.
And Jiro Mitsui brought the topic back to the intelligence network again, "Another important reason why our intelligence network is strong is that everyone has the spirit of sharing. Even if you have a lot of selfishness, you will be oppressed by the mechanism. Learn to share.
What I want to emphasize is that this sharing does not only exist within the company, but also includes sharing with external affiliated companies, such as Toyota and Sony, and even with Ito's companies, there are sharing channels. "
Yang Cheng frowned slightly, "Aren't you worried about the leak of information?"
At this time, Koji Ito, who had been silent for a while, came out and said, "This sharing model seems to easily cause the leakage of information, but everyone, including our Ito family intelligence department, has never worried about this problem.
Because there are almost no traitors in us, it is immoral for RB people to leak information, and our employees will never change companies easily, even if they change companies, they will not leak the information of the previous company. It is completely different from the United States, which advocates freedom. "
