When Kang Jianfei stood in front of the red horse again, the horse named Red Pepper seemed to have seen some terrifying creature, neighing uneasyly and retreating.

Martin Davis said happily: "Haha, this little guy is afraid of you."

Kang Jianfei took the saddle from the cowboy's hand and threw it roughly on the back of the Red Chili horse. The horse still wanted to make a fuss, but Kang Jianfei slapped it on the forehead and immediately calmed down, and he silently surrendered to fate with tears in his heart.

With the help of the cowboy, Kang Jianfei put a harness on the red pepper, then turned over and sat on the fierce horse that no one could subdue. This time, the red pepper only squirted a few noises and expressed dissatisfaction, and did not dare to think about going crazy like yesterday.

The cowboy exclaimed sincerely: "Sir, you are a natural knight, and the red pepper has been subjugated by you."

Lizhi laughed happily when she heard the cowboy praise her man. She felt that Kang Jianfei, who was riding on the horse at this moment, was so heroic.

Martin Davis also rode his horse and said, "Kang, when you get along with horses, you should not blindly use violence. You should treat them as friends and relatives. Only the power of love can communicate with your horse's will."

"Mr. Davis, I think you're right." Kang Jianfei agreed, but he felt very sorry in his heart: Just bet, beast, tell him a lot of love, and if he doesn't obey, he will beat him until he is obedient. If I talked about love with this red pepper, he would be thrown to death by it yesterday.

Kang Jianfei, Lizhi and Martin Davis rode their horses toward the Xiaohu Lake, followed by seven or eight followers, and soon they arrived at a beautiful lake.

A wooden corridor extends from the shore to the lake more than ten meters away. Kang Jianfei and the other two sat on the wooden corridor fishing, while a few horses were placed on the shore to eat grass.

After a while, Martin Davis caught a big fish. Kang Jianfei thought he would put it in the bucket, but he didn't expect the old guy to throw it back into the lake.

Both Chinese and Western anglers enjoy the fishing process, but Chinese people like to take back the fish they catch and cook, which tastes more fragrant than the fish they buy. It cannot be understood as releasing them after fishing, as this will lose the fun of fishing in vain.

Kang Jianfei was fishing while talking nonsense with Martin Davis, while Lizhi sat next to him and listened quietly, without even notice that her bait was eaten up.

After chatting for a while, Martin Davis took the initiative to turn the topic to the movie and said, "The Rain Man you invested in has made a lot of money in the United States and Canada. You are an excellent film investor."

"I still have a vision for film investors thanks for the praise." Kang Jianfei was not humble at this time, but expressed his strengths very confidently.

Martin Davis suddenly changed his mind and asked, "But do you know that Paramount's investment is also very successful this year?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Of course I know that in the box office list before Christmas, the second and third place in the North American box office list this year were produced by Paramount."

Martin Davis added: "Last year's North American annual box office champion is also a film invested by Paramount."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "It seems that Paramount's investment is really successful."

"Then are you thinking about acquiring a large company with good business conditions?" Martin Davis looked at Kang Jianfei with a funny look.

"But compared to the period when Barry Diller was in power, Paramount has been declining overall in the past three years, and the company's annual total box office revenue has been declining, right?" Kang Jianfei asked back.

Martin Davis said: "But Paramount's box office revenue has always been among the top two among the major Hollywood movie giants."

"It's about to fall to third," Kang Jianfei caught a small fish as big as a palm, and the old scholar Martin threw it back into the lake. He continued, "Paramon's current box office strength is actually still enjoying the beauty of the Barry Diller era. Just shooting sequels can make a lot of money, such as the "Miracle 2" that had a box office of more than 100 million yuan this year. Universal Pictures' performance this year is very eye-catching. After 20th Century Fox was acquired by Murdoch, these two companies pose a great threat to Paramount. If it is added to the profits of travel and record, Disney and Warner Bros. are also strong rivals. Paramount's profit may rank fifth."

Martin Davis asked, "Then why do you want to acquire Paramount?"

Kang Jianfei said: "Because Paramount has that strength and foundation."

Martin Davis asked: "Are you going to be the helm of Paramount?"

"No," Kang Jianfei shook his head, "We Chinese have generals and generals when fighting. Paramount's helmsman can only be called generals. I can be a point general."

"The General and Marshal? An interesting distinction," said Martin Davis, "Con. It is impossible for you to completely acquire Paramount unless you can prove that you can make Paramount develop better, so that I will promise to convince other shareholders to sell you part of the proportion."

Kang Jianfei pointed to his head and said, "My business philosophy is in my mind. You can take it out at any time."

"Tell me," said Martin Davis. "I don't know anything about the movie at all. I hope you can convince me."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Mr. Davis, do you know my film company in Hong Kong?"

Martin Davis nodded and said, "The film company is developing very fast, but unfortunately the big studio system has been eliminated in Hollywood. American law does not allow the existence of film trusts."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "No, what I want to say is not this, but DreamWorks' status in the entire Oriental Entertainment Group."

Martin Davis was interested: "Oh, tell me."

Kang Jianfei said: "I know Paramount was forcibly dismantled and sold a batch of theaters by the US government because of monopoly, which was severely damaged and weakened for a full twenty years. But the US government stipulated that film companies were not allowed to operate production, distribution and screening businesses vertically. There was no mention of other theaters, and distribution companies were not allowed to acquire or operate film companies."

Martin Davis frowned and asked, "Is this useful?"

"Of course it's useful," said Kang Jianfei. "My set in Hong Kong's Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group can be copied to Hollywood. Movies, TV, music, publishing, animation, tourism, media, all the things related to entertainment culture can be put together to promote and develop in harmony. We can build an entertainment empire in the United States, and Paramount is just a part of this entertainment empire."

Kang Jianfei's foolings were just trying to make Martin Davis agree to his investment in Paramount, but these words made Martin Davis think deeply.

In fact, Kang Jianfei is not bragging nonsense. His idea of ​​"big entertainment" is very feasible. However, at this time, Hollywood movie giants were scared by the antitrust bill decades ago and did not think about "big entertainment business".

With the diversification of the entertainment industry, independent film companies and theaters have emerged one after another, and the United States has relaxed its monopoly standards for the film field a lot. It is no longer a big deal for a parent company to own theaters and production companies at the same time.

In another time and space, the two great men who supported Paramount were poached by Disney. Paramount declined from then on, and then Bay West Industrial Company sold Paramount.

Viacom, which bought Paramount from Haixi Company, is an entertainment company that started with a chain of cinemas. Since then, Paramount has become a Hollywood giant and has become part of an entertainment company, and Viacom has gradually developed into an entertainment group.

Paramount's change of hands marks the United States' entry into a big entertainment era. Several independent Hollywood movie giants have become part of the entertainment media group, and the revenue around the movie has increased ten times and a hundred times.

There were a lot of fish in the lake. Kang Jianfei caught another fish. He threw the fish back into the lake and summed up and fooled: "In my idea, movies are just an appetizer in the entertainment feast. The real profit is the big meal that comes up later."

"A very good idea, aren't you afraid that I'll plagiarize it?" Martin Davis smiled.

Kang Jianfei said: "To achieve this idea, I am alone incapable of ability, so I need a strong partner. Mr. Davis, you are a industrial group and are not familiar with the operation of the entertainment industry. We can perfectly complement each other."

Martin Davis really doesn't know how to run the entertainment and cultural industry. Nowadays, publishing, games, magazines and film companies controlled by Haixi Industrial Company have not participated in specific company operations.

"Continue talking." Martin Davis said.

Kang Jianfei said: "I want more than 25% of Paramount's shares, 30% of Japan's Sega Games, and 30% of the shares of American Simon Publishing Company. In addition, we will pay together to acquire Turner Broadcasting Company, and build a TV network on this basis, and then acquire a record company. The territory of the entire entertainment empire will basically take shape."

Martin Davis smiled and said, "Kang, your words are very touching, but I'm very sorry. I don't understand this at all, so I don't plan to invest."

Paramount's previous helmsman brought Paramount to a prosperous period, Barry Diller had made suggestions to Martin Davis several times, hoping that he could build a new TV network. Martin Davis was not interested in this, which made Barry Diller feel disheartened. He was poached by Murdoch more than three years ago, so Paramount went downhill year by year.

Kang Jianfei continued to work hard to convince Martin: "Do you understand electronic games? In the most difficult time, Sega of Japan invested a lot of money. Now hasn't he obtained several times the profit return?"

Martin Davis shrugged and said, "In fact, I objected to investing in Sega. Unfortunately, I was not the one in Haixi Company at that time, and the number of votes opposed at the shareholders' meeting did not support much."
