Seeing that everyone was so anxious, the fat man took some time off and said: "From the release to the end of the movie "Lust, Caution," the total box office in North America and other regions around the world is..." The fat man deliberately made his voice very long.
Everyone was anxious, including Yi Feiyang himself. The reason was that he had been staying in Wenrou Township before and didn't know the contents of this report at all. Of course, if Yi Feiyang was interested, he could know it in advance. Fatty had no reason not to let him
I know first, but Yi Feiyang has a desire to share this victory or defeat with everyone, so he has been kept in the dark about the data of this drama.
Seeing that everyone was about to get "furious", the fat man smiled like a bad guy and said: "I announce that the total global box office of the movie "Lust, Caution" is---1.15 billion US dollars!"
Boom!
It was like a huge thunder, knocking everyone out!
What? 1.15 billion!
God!
Holy Virgin Mary!
My Buddha!
There is an amazing cry in everyone's heart.
Incredible!
incredible!
These are the thoughts in everyone's mind.
Silence!
Silence!
The whole conference room was quiet!
No one would have thought that a R-rated movie could break over one billion!
This is simply making history and creating a miracle!
Suddenly, there was applause!
Thunderous applause!
Intense applause!
Snap!
Snap!
Bang bang bang!
…
One after another, endless!
"Boss, you are so awesome, congratulations!"
"Wow. It's over a billion! It's amazing!"
"Wow, I'm so excited, the boss is going to be heard all over the world this time!"
Faced with these praises, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had fantasies that his movie could break one billion for the first time, he never expected that he would do it with the movie "Lust, Caution"!
A R-rated movie breaks 1 billion, which is more difficult and sharper than ordinary movies!
Finally, everyone calmed down. The fat man Gao Jiabao, who was also full of joy, said: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet. No matter how great the box office of this movie is, it will still be counted in the 2004 box office results.
So you all just have to wait for a year before you get your dividends!"
"Haha, we are not here for dividends, we are really happy for the boss. Let's see who dares to say bad things about the boss in the future!" the guys said in unison.
Seeing that everyone was getting further and further apart, Yi Feiyang had to stand up and said, "Quiet, let the meeting continue... Do you want me to treat you to a supper?"
The fat man then returned to the topic and explained his data report.
Taken together, Fantasy Entertainment made a total profit of US$4.7 billion last year through movies, music, real estate, hotels, the Internet, and other industries! In other words, Fantasy Entertainment's total assets are now more than US$15 billion!
An important point to note is that this data is different from the Forbes rich list or the Fortune 500, because Yifeiyang’s Dream Entertainment Company is not listed at all!
On the other hand, if Fantasy Entertainment is really listed, based on its current strength of 15 billion US dollars, its post-listing value is simply inestimable...
After Gao Jiabao, the fat man, finished his summary report for the previous year, Yi Feiyang, as the president and chairman of the company, stepped forward to make this year's development plan for everyone.
…
"Okay, we have to arrange our work well for the next year." Yi Feiyang paused and looked at these guys, and everyone became quiet.
"Work at Fantasy Entertainment has been progressing in a very orderly manner, and I personally take care of all activities, so there won't be too much trouble. Movies, records, CDs, newspapers, media, etc. will also be handled in one go.
.So we will no longer discuss the affairs of Fantasy Entertainment Company. This time, we will focus on discussing other branches."
Yi Feiyang looked at the branch heads sitting on the right side of the conference room.
"Tom, please tell me about your AMC TV station first." Yi Feiyang nodded towards Tom.
Tom, who had just flown back from New York, laughed and said: "Now our TV station is developing very smoothly, especially the boss's seasonal TV series "The Walking Dead" has saved the entire company! God, now the advertisers who originally ignored us are chasing after us.
They asked us to help them advertise! And the audience subscription rate of this drama is getting higher and higher every season!"
"In addition, due to the expansion of the TV station business, we acquired two private TV stations in order to expand the radiation area of the TV industry! In short, our TV station has made reforms in various aspects such as equipment and programs. This year there will be "The Vampire Diaries" and so on.
The new season of the TV series will be released soon, and there will also be star programs such as "Where Are We Dad?" and "I Am a Singer" and other variety shows."
"Boss, now the capital of our AMC TV station has reached nearly 500 million US dollars. This year we plan to take action in the European market, mainly targeting large TV stations in the UK, to see if we can become the major shareholders of those TV stations. In this way, these
The TV station will become our first subsidiary in Europe, which will completely open up our business in Europe."
Tom's words made Yi Feiyang nodded: "This must be done. Every company must follow the path of survival, development, and expansion, and the same goes for TV stations. As long as there are good programs, they must use them vigorously and increase their
The amount of radiation and the force of radiation, so not only must you develop as usual, but you must also take bigger steps. What I mean is, do you understand?"
Tom naturally understood what Yi Feiyang meant and said, "I understand this."
Looking at Tom's firm eyes, Yi Feiyang was very satisfied: "To be honest, this was one of the reasons why I opened up the film market in Europe in the first place. We have a lot of eggs on hand, but we can never put them in one basket. In many aspects
Development. This is the best way. Mr. Trump, how is our real estate business developing now?"
Donald Trump is wearing a black suit. He has become more and more prosperous in the past few years. Compared with the disappointment in the shopping mall when he first met Yi Feiyang, he is now very happy.
In fact, Trump is very grateful that he can cooperate with Yi Feiyang to develop real estate. Back then, his investment failed, his family property and net worth shrank significantly, and he became the target of ridicule. However, since he got on the boat of Yi Feiyang, the real estate industry has become more and more prosperous.
The industry keeps rising, making money easy.
At this moment, facing Yi Feiyang's question, Trump stood up, spread his hands and said: "Our real estate company has always been developing well. Now it has become the top real estate company in the United States, and its business is one of the few in the United States with a large footprint all over the world.
One of the real estate companies, plus we have cooperated with the Land and Resources Bureau for so many years, we have completely laid the foundation."
"What about hotels?" Yi Feiyang looked at Richard Hilton, the head of the Hilton family.
Compared to Trump, Richard Hilton is much more reserved. After all, the Hilton family he is in charge of is a century-old family with assets worth tens of billions. Although he has cooperated with Yi Feiyang for so long, he deeply understands this young man.
It's not easy, but the score still needs to be set.
"The hotel industry is now prosperous, and our hotel business has basically spread across five continents. Even the most remote Oceania and Africa have our Hilton signatures. In addition, the Asian market has the fastest business development, and sales are second only to
America, more than Europe." Richard said.
"On the other hand, the sales share of the European market has begun to slow down, especially in France, Italy, Germany and other places in Europe. Through investigation and research, I concluded that the supporting equipment and facilities of Hilton hotels are aging. Many hotels have
It has a history of about ten years and needs to be renovated and repaired, and even more modernized. The cost of decoration and equipment improvement will add up to an astronomical figure, and this is what worries me the most.
..." Richard Hilton made a headache gesture.
"Yes. The old equipment you mentioned is indeed a headache. But if it is not improved, there will be no competitiveness. Hilton's time-honored brand alone cannot attract customers. Again, it must have high quality
A high return requires a high investment! No matter what, Mr. Richard, I believe in your management ability, and I also support your hotel renovation business. In order to become the king of hotels in the world, let us work together!
"
After Yi Feiyang said these words, he looked at Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple.
"Hi, Lao Qiao, where is your company? How is it developing now?"
Hearing Yi Feiyang's question, Jobs said: "The development momentum is not very good, especially when we are squeezed out by companies such as Microsoft and Depp... But one thing I want to explain is that the reason why we are being squeezed by these companies is completely
It’s because our company’s technology is so strong, yes, our Apple technology is top-notch, especially in terms of new computer systems!”
"Since you are so confident in your own technology, then take over more of the market. All talk but no action is not your style, Qiao Daxia!" Yi Feiyang took a sip of water and then looked at Jobs.
"Oh boss, I have already started taking action on this. Yes, in order to expand the company's technical advantages, I have even negotiated with the government to update their computer office programs. Judging from the current situation, it is still very good for the time being. If
If it succeeds, it will be a billion-dollar business! I just have a small worry..." Jobs looked at Yi Feiyang and said.
"Are you worried that the president will hinder your cooperation with state governments?" Yi Feiyang laughed.
"Yes, everyone knows that President George W. Bush has a lot of opinions on fantasy entertainment, and you are unwilling to get too close to him. This way, he has even less reason to support our cooperation. God, damn politics are really
It’s a headache!” Steve Jobs said, waving his hands.
"You can rest assured about this." Clinton took the words. During this period, Clinton was admitted to the hospital due to an attack of appendicitis. When he heard that Fantasy Entertainment was going to hold a shareholders' meeting, he ran over. Although most of it was for year-end dividends, it was also
That's a lot of courage.
At this time, Clinton's face was very bad and a little pale, but his energy had recovered a lot: "Bush Jr. cannot control all the states, especially if he designs the reform and update of the computer system of a government department, he has no words.
power, unless he links it with counter-terrorism... Of course, as the spokesperson of the Republican Party, every time he speaks, he will be attacked by our Democratic Party. We dare not use such a sensitive topic as counter-terrorism."
"So, regarding the update of the government office system, I will discuss it with my wife Hillary and contact some people who are close to us, such as the Los Angeles government, the Chicago government, and Detroit, etc. I believe they will still
Give me the face of the former president!"
Hearing what Clinton said, Jobs was relieved. After all, people are like trees. When Clinton was in power, in addition to having extramarital affairs with White House interns, he also trained and promoted many confidants. Not to mention that his wife Hillary is now
They are members of Congress, and their strength cannot be underestimated. With their help, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
After listening to Clinton's words, Yi Feiyang pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "What kind of society do you think the United States is?"
Everyone was puzzled.
democracy?
Freedom? It seems that these are not the answers Yi Feiyang wants.
Yi Feiyang raised his head, first focusing on Clinton, and then looking at Jobs.
"After being in the United States for so long, I finally understand something. The United States is a society controlled by public opinion and the media! To deal with big figures like George W. Bush, public opinion is the most important weapon. In this regard, we need AMC TV station and "
Entertainment New World" You two media companies have worked hard together!" Yi Feiyang's voice became stagnant.
"Everyone has heard about the development of AMC TV station just now. What is certain is that this TV station has become the most influential media in the United States. As for newspapers and magazines, "Entertainment New World" has always been our mouthpiece. In the past period
Time, the work of this newspaper is very good, and I am very satisfied with it, but now the situation is a bit serious, so everyone is working more carefully, cautiously and hard. Generally speaking, I am very relieved about AMC TV Station and Publishing Group
I think your power is a bit weak. In Wales, you currently don’t have a major newspaper or magazine with national influence. This won’t work.”
Wales is the guy who looks like a mole, is ridiculous, takes the initiative to join Yi Feiyang, and then transforms into a newspaper tycoon.
At this time, Yi Feiyang looked at Wales and said: "No matter what, this year, you must win at least one major newspaper with national influence to build our print media position. You don't have to worry about funds.
Can it be done?"
"Boss, I was just about to tell you about this." At this point, Wales became excited: "Our "Entertainment New World" also has the same meaning. Although the influence of our entertainment newspaper has expanded a lot than before, the single
The published content is too single. Therefore, in terms of national influence, compared with the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Time Magazine, ours is just a small effort. At most, it is related to entertainment.
is well-known in Hollywood. So the management of our newspaper began to consider acquiring some relatively large print media as early as July last year. We have been doing this kind of work and are waiting to report to you. Now
There is a media company that we think is very suitable."
"Which one?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"USA Today." These words from Wales made Yi Feiyang straighten up immediately.
You know, this guy's ambition is too much for his appetite. He really deserves to be his subordinate.
You must know that "USA Today" is the only color version of the national daily newspaper in the United States. Although there are so many newspapers in the United States, almost 2.15 people on average own one newspaper. Among them, "USA Today" has been published for less than two years.
The number of readers immediately jumped to third place in the United States, on par with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, two century-old newspapers that are deeply rooted in the hearts of readers. In the fourth year of the newspaper's founding, its actual readership has ranked first among all daily newspapers in the United States.
"USA Today" has been at the top of the list for many years in a row, with 2.2 million copies. It is the youngest newspaper among the major newspapers in the United States and has created a miracle in the American newspaper industry. However, the creation of miracles is not easy. "USA Today"
In many aspects of newspaper operations, from business management, layout design, news genres to editorial policies, it "goes against the rules" and creates many first-time myths. It is the first to dare to eat crabs.
"No way, Wales, are you really planning to acquire USA Today? Will it be acquired by someone else in turn?" Clinton, who was the former President of the United States, was still somewhat impressed by this publication because of the sex scandal in his White House.
, and throughout the subsequent presidential impeachment process, "USA Today" was the most eye-catching media of all American media.
"Yes. Although this publication seems very large and difficult to acquire, I got news that the boss of this company wants to transfer it at once. We have been talking about acquisition since last year because their owner Lehman Bank is now in a bleak situation.
, all aspects are somewhat unable to make ends meet, and all thoughts are focused on transferring this publication." Welsh said.
"Lehman Bank?" Upon hearing this name, Yi Feiyang's heartstrings vibrated.
For many people, the American bank Lehman Brothers can be said to be a giant in the financial industry, with unlimited glory for a while. However, in later generations, the reason why this company became famous is because in 2008, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States due to its investment
After the failure of the acquisition negotiations, it announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection, triggering a global financial tsunami that caused the market confidence to collapse out of control and the stock market to plummet.
