Top of the big era

Son has been in Los Angeles during this time.

For such a big thing, a huge investment of nearly 20 billion US dollars, he and his investment team are operating efficiently and need to coordinate in many aspects.

There are already 27 people on the M\u0026A advisory committee.

In addition to the executive chairman being identified as Jeffrey Katzenberg, many senior Hollywood bosses have also been invited, such as Allen, who served as president of 20th Century Fox in the 1970s and MGM in the 1980s. Ladd, such as the famous American entertainment tycoon Barry Diller, such as the notorious but unprecedentedly influential Harvey Weinstein... and some investment banking experts, financial experts, negotiation experts and legal experts with rich experience in mergers and acquisitions .

Even current California Governor Schwarzenegger promised to help coordinate.

There is no way, under the economic crisis, Hollywood is short of money.

DreamWorks is a subsidiary of Paramount. Why does DreamWorks take movies to Disney for distribution?

Because DreamWorks was short of money, and Paramount couldn't afford it.

DreamWorks can only give the distribution rights of the film to Disney in exchange for an advance payment of more than 300 million US dollars, which will help DreamWorks start this year's production plan.

SoftBank Group wants to invest so much money, which is of course a good thing for California and Hollywood, and Schwarzenegger is very supportive.

A strong team has been organized.

For Son Zhengyi, everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind!

As long as the money is in place, MGM, DreamWorks, and Universal Pictures can all be taken over!

The only worry is future business issues.

It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to sit on it.

SoftBank invests and buys them all the way, and it is easy to buy all these content providers. But the question is, how to manage it after buying it?

How can so many independent and complex film companies be integrated into a powerful and cohesive group company?

If the reorganization does not go smoothly, even if "Purple Star Global" is established, it will easily face the danger of collapse.

In particular, Zhou Buqi’s idea is not to build an entertainment empire, but to build a content empire around the Internet.

This is going to completely change the business model of Hollywood for hundreds of years!

The more radical the reform, the louder the opposition.

Who can control such a big thing?

Who can manage a company as complex and committed to reform as "Ziweixing Global"?

Son Zhengyi asked himself, he felt that he could not do it.

But there is one person who can definitely do it!

The boy is very young, but he shines with brilliance beyond ordinary people, his unique vision and business understanding, his accurate judgment of future trends, and his vigorous and resolute methods of doing business...

I haven't seen anyone like this in the last few decades.

The scale of Sun Zhengyi's business is so large mainly because of his unique ability to recognize people. From Yahoo to Alibaba, and even Apple.

When Apple made the iPhone, it was ridiculed by the world.

Masayoshi Son came to chat with Jobs twice, and then made a bet to introduce the iPhone to the Japanese market, where the mobile phone landscape is seriously solidified.

It can be said that the Japanese mobile phone market is the most difficult market to invade in the world. Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other mobile phone giants cannot enter.

Masayoshi Son had endless trust in Jobs and handed over the life of SoftBank's operator business to Jobs... Then, a miracle really happened, and the iPhone really swept the entire Japanese mobile phone industry on its own.

Regarding Ziweixing Global, he was going to bet again, betting on Zhou Buqi!

In his opinion, this matter can be settled only if Zhou Buqi goes out personally.

After waiting for a few days, I finally received a reply.

Zhou Buqi invited Sun Zhengyi to his mansion in Beverly Hills.

When Son came here for the first time, he looked around and his eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the oval outdoor swimming pool.

In the swimming pool, there were four girls in swimsuits playing happily in the water, like mermaids. There were seven or eight girls sitting by the pool, each with a better appearance and a hotter figure.

Most importantly, these girls are all white.

Zhou Buqi looked at him funny and said, "These are my servants. Why do you... Why don't we go and swim for a while?"

Sun Zhengyi is also an Oriental and understands the conservative culture of Orientals. He should not eat food from other people's homes, and neither can maids. He was a little surprised, "You maids...well, the quality is really good."

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "Well, they are basically recruited from Venezuela and Colombia. Didn't you hear that they all speak Spanish?"

"Ah?" Son Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, "Language barrier?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, I will give them English lessons every day."

Sun Zhengyi now understood.

He is so rich, even if he recruits a group of beautiful women as maids in the United States, it is perfectly fine. Why go to those poor third world countries in Central and North America to find people? It's just that the human rights in those places are worse, and you can play unscrupulously. Even if there is an accident while playing, it can be easily settled.

This kid is quite greedy for beauty.

Well, it’s not surprising for young people.

The two of them walked towards the mansion together. The carpet under their feet could sink into it as soon as they stepped on it, and it was as soft as a woman's skin.

Zhou Buqi asked casually: "Where is your family? Where did you find your maid?"

Son Zhengyi smiled and said: "My family is full of Japanese-style maids."

"Um?"

"When we were in Tokyo, didn't we go to Kamika Club? It's all like that."

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "Isn't that a maid?"

Japan has a very traditional maid culture, which is open to the public. There are even maid restaurants and maid cafes. Young and beautiful girls wear maid uniforms and kneel on the ground to serve their masters.

The entire society is permeated with a culture that exploits women.

This is especially true for the private club they went to before. In addition to the royal sister model and mature woman model, there are also many types such as stewardess, nurse, teacher, policewoman, etc., and there are even models for pregnant women, breastfeeding, and twins. There are also loli models, and I don’t know if it’s illegal to hire young girls to work.

In terms of service, enjoyment, and variety, Japanese maids are definitely better. Without the master's order, they knelt on the ground the whole time. Japanese traditional culture has instilled, nurtured and cultivated the girls, and they no longer have this sense of shame.

Seeing his interest, Sun Zhengyi smiled and said: "Maid culture is a tradition in our country. Undergraduate and master's students can also be hired as maids after graduation, just like life secretaries. I will contact you later. There are specialized recruitment companies like this.”

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly and waved his hand, "I'm so busy, how can I think about these things? Let's talk about work."

The small living room is not too big.

After a simple renovation, it became a tea room.

Zhou Buqi took the tea leaves, made the tea himself, and casually talked about the development prospects of Helo and YikYak. Next, he mainly talked about Ziweixing Global.

"I can agree to your proposal."

"I feel relieved now."

Son Zhengyi smiled brightly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhou Buqi didn't know how to do any complicated tea art. He just put tea leaves in hot water and started drinking it after two steeps. He said calmly: "I can do it. The conditions have changed."

Son Zhengyi said: "Of course, just mention it!"

Zhou Buqi said: "It must be reflected in the shares."

If both parties invest equally, then the investment will be distributed in proportion. For a 100 yuan project, if you invest 10 yuan, you will hold 10% of the shares, and if you invest 90 yuan, you will hold 90% of the shares.

But if Zhou Buqi ends up becoming CEO, this nature will change.

His level cannot be achieved with a salary of tens of millions of dollars per year. He must hold management shares. Other executives may not have it, but he must have it.

Son was not surprised and said with a smile: "5 o'clock, how about it?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Less!"

"Add 2 more points."

"not enough."

"Seven percent is already a lot." Masayoshi Son looked at him deeply. "In this project, if SoftBank invests US$20 billion and you invest another US$5 billion, the total capital will be US$25 billion. A 7% share is already It’s sincere enough.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "At 10 o'clock, I will enter the market!"

"Can."

Son had no hesitation.

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward. It seemed that it had already been in his plan.

Son Zhengyi said: "However, I have three conditions."

"explain."

"First, you have to work for 5 years and get 2% every year."

"It should."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Now that he has decided to end his career, he must do it well, just like he did with Ziweixing. He must build the framework system of Ziweixing Global from top to bottom, from the inside out, and only then can he delegate power and hand over the work. Five years later, the big wave of streaming media will be very stable, basically the same.

Son Masayoshi continued: "Second, there must be an exit mechanism. If the project fails, or your management is not successful, this part of the management shares must be returned to the company, and we will find new solutions."

Zhou Buqi said cheerfully: "Of course, there is no saying that if you mess up the project, you can still lose money."

"Third, we must cooperate with Sony's work."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Son Zhengyi said: "This matter cannot be discussed, it must be done. This is the key to our ability to acquire MGM. Well... with Sony's help, you can select a group of better quality maids in Japan."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "What's going on with a maid and not a maid? Does it have anything to do with Sony?"

Son Zhengyi said: "In the DVD market, ultra-high-definition DVD is being promoted. There are two main standards now, one is HD-DVD launched by Microsoft, and the other is Blu-ray DVD launched by Sony. A few years ago, Sony led a consortium to leverage the acquisition of Mi The most important thing for GM is to control MGM's content library and promote the development of Blu-ray DVD through movies. If we want to successfully acquire MGM, we must get Sony's support. If we want to get Sony's support, it's best We need to support their high-definition format.”

"Haha! Good thing!"
