Chapter 1357 A Familiar Son-in-Law
He threw all the phone numbers and room cards in his pocket out of the car window, giving them to those destined people. Yang Dongxu closed his eyes and took a nap in the back seat.
After returning to his residence, he took a hot bath and slept until more than nine o'clock the next morning. Sometimes people need to relax.
For example, he feels refreshed now, and the fatigue from being tortured by various documents some time ago has been swept away. Of course, he also feels a little regretful in his heart. Maybe he should have chosen an interactive one yesterday.
However, this idea only flashed through his mind, which is a common problem for men. It is not too important. Occasionally, this idea flashes through his mind, which does not mean that he really regrets it and must find a way to make up for it. It is just a hypocritical emotion.
Now Yang Dongxu came to Haina Company to deal with some urgent documents in the study. Although he and Simon made an appointment in the afternoon, he will leave in two days. Haina still has some things to discuss with Joss.
"It may be a bit troublesome to buy the New York Times." Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down in the office, Joss brought him some bad news.
"What? They don't agree?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
Expanding the media resources in his hands is what Yang Dongxu has been doing in recent years. However, before, except for the media tied to the team, he looked down on other small media. Even if the Kennedy family covered the acquisition of large media, it would be very troublesome, especially the audit was a headache.
But now there is a little Jack, a secret helper, so during this period of time, when looking for media, the New York Times, which loses more than 2 million US dollars every year, came into his sight.
In fact, it is not very cost-effective to acquire traditional newspapers. After all, even in the United States, after a few years, except for the elderly, many young people no longer read newspapers, but more on social media to express their ideas.
However, acquiring traditional newspapers has an advantage that social media does not currently have. That is the customers that traditional newspapers have.
Take the New York Times as an example. Although it loses money every year. But it has a great reputation in the industry, and many political and business celebrities will read this newspaper. After all, it is a newspaper of a prosperous metropolis with the largest economic output in the United States.
Acquiring this newspaper will give Yang Dongxu another bridge to communicate with political and business celebrities. He could even take this postcard to attend banquets of many political and business celebrities he didn't like very much.
"The relationship with that group of annoying guys has been established, mainly because there is now a new competitor."
"The New York Times wants to raise the price?" Hearing that there was only one more competitor, Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with his current assets, he can really say without pretending that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"It's only the negotiation stage, and suddenly there is another buyer, so the price will definitely be raised. The reason I said this is that the other party seems to be determined to get the New York Times. So the price increase is estimated to be not small."
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be curious: "Who is the other party?"
"Charlie Nakushi!"
"Huh?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and searched in his mind, but did not find any information corresponding to this name.
"It's the one who spent 1.8 billion to buy a building in Manhattan some time ago. He was imprisoned for two years because of the election donation scandal and was released at the end of last year. As soon as he came out, he made such a big fuss, which attracted a lot of attention."
In the United States, not only celebrities like to attract attention, but also wealthy people. Because this can increase their wealth. For example, if the rich have more attention, the stock prices of the listed companies under his control will rise.
Not to mention socialites, if they can have the same attention as some Hollywood actresses. Then when they endorse some high-end clothing brands and jewelry, the endorsement fees are higher than those of Hollywood actresses.
So entrepreneurs in the United States, if they want to list their companies and make money in the stock market, in addition to showing the strong side of their companies, it is also good for the company's stock price to gain great attention.
"I seem to have some impression of this. By the way, does he have a son named Jared?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.
He is also in the real estate business, so Yang Dongxu, who pays attention to the news, has seen the report about the $1.8 billion purchase of a building, but he just doesn't remember the name of the protagonist in the report.
"Yes, it seems that because of the donation scandal, some things are difficult to do. So Charlie is now actively pushing his eldest son to the front to accept the Nakushi family's industry, and he is directing it behind the scenes."
"Is that so?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin.
Later, someone summarized the three steps of this counterattack process. The first step was that his father Charlie spent $1.8 billion to buy a building after he was released from prison. This incident can be said to have brought the Nakushi family, whose reputation has been declining, back into people's sight.
The second step is to buy a media with weight and history as a stepping stone, such as if he successfully took over the New York Times. Then, as a second-generation, Jared will no longer deal with those second-generation people in the future.
As the CEO of a newspaper with history and reputation, he can actually talk to media tycoon Murdoch. Instead of having to talk to Murdoch's son about anything before.
If you want money, you have money. After all, I spent 1.8 billion to buy a house. He wants a career, and he is also the boss of a newspaper with a rich history and reputation.
With the blessing of such a halo, it is not easy to contact those famous ladies.
"You just keep an eye on this matter and don't let them complete the deal for the time being. I'll learn more about it from other aspects and see what the situation is." Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.
This is the road to recovery for his family, and any obstacle that stands in his way will obviously be overcome with all his might. After all, the plan has been launched and there is no turning back.
Therefore, in order to avoid taking advantage of the New York Newspaper, which is constantly losing money, Yang Dongxu is prepared to give in temporarily. See if you can find a way to get the other side to give up from outside the negotiation table.
In short, he did not intend to give up easily on the New York News. After all, why Nakush fell in love with the New York News was exactly why he wanted to win the New York News. Therefore, in order for the follow-up plan to proceed smoothly, the New York Newspaper is also a must-win for him.
Joss nodded and changed the topic, "Pirates Captain 2 is basically in the final preparations and is about to start shooting. What Disney means is that during the filming process, it is best for China's publicity to be in line with the United States. Edge synchronization.
It will be released after filming is completed, and it can also be released simultaneously around the world. Instead of being released first in the United States and then spreading to other places. "
"It's a good calculation." Yang Dongxu can guess it without thinking about it, if Pirate Captain 2 can be released simultaneously in China. What kind of sensation will it cause?
After all, many Hollywood blockbusters basically travel abroad before finally being released in China. This makes Chinese people always feel that they are eating leftovers, but after facing the elaborate production and grand scenes of Hollywood blockbusters. Even if you eat leftovers from others, it still tastes delicious.
In fact, in this era, many Chinese people have straightened their knees. But there are also many people who still feel a little inferior in their bones.
Without giving any benefits, just giving a certain amount of respect can make the Chinese people very excited. This is also the era of self-media in later generations. A foreigner who is nothing can only shout words like "China is awesome" and "I love China". The reason why you can get a lot of attention and fans in an instant.
"We can follow up simultaneously, but the box office share ratio will be based on the share ratio of theater chains and film companies in the United States." Yang Dongxu said.
"This." Joss frowned.
This is obviously a very difficult condition, because except for theaters in North America. Not to mention China, which Hollywood is only paying a little attention to, even the European market, whose market development has matured.
It is impossible for the theater chain there to get the same share as the theater chain here in the United States. After all, Hollywood movies released in other countries either win awards and have a halo to boost the box office. Or it’s a really popular movie.
No matter which one it is, it is a film that has been proven to make money steadily. The risk is small, and the profit margin given to you is naturally smaller. Film companies that take risks to make films will naturally get more.
"Well, you just need to follow the normal procedures to follow up on the filming and the promotion in the United States. Regarding the promotion in China and the distribution of theaters after the release, I will ask the people at the Heiner headquarters to talk to Disney in person. If you agree, we will withdraw our investment," Yang Dongxu said.
Joss opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him. After all, he had already heard from his boss's words that Disney must act according to his rules this time. At least in China, we must listen to him. Haven’t you heard such words as divestment coming out?
