Chapter 610 Looking forward to your new book(2/2)
Sony once tried to enter the Japanese TV industry in the 1980s, but was boycotted by the four major TV stations at that time, and ended up with a successful end.
Akio Morita has always been upset about this matter. Today, he suddenly heard Tao Yushu mention this matter and immediately showed displeasure.
Tao Yushu said calmly: "With Lin's Pictures as a partner, I think Sony can try to continue embracing Japanese TV media."
Akio Morita knew that Lin's Film owned a TV station called Star TV, but he also knew that the influence of this TV station was mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia and South Asia.
"Why does Mrs. Lin think that Lin's Pictures can help Sony Pictures succeed in the Japanese TV industry?
Besides, we already have CBS, which is the top three TV networks in the United States, and the Japanese TV market is insignificant to us."
CBS is the abbreviation of CBS.
As one of the world's three home appliance giants, Sony's revenue this year is nearly 10 billion US dollars, with its industry spanning multiple fields such as home appliances, film and television, music, finance, etc., with a market value of nearly 60 billion US dollars.
For Lin's Pictures, Sony is a giant. Akio Morita's a little arrogant attitude made Tao Yushu feel uncomfortable, but she also knew that this was the inevitable result of the gap in strength between the two sides.
"No company will think that it is not big enough and fast enough.
Japan is now the second largest market after the United States, and Sony is a national treasure-level company in Japan.
Even in the United States, it is a pity that it has its own TV network, but it does not have its own TV station in its own country."
Tao Yushu's face was calm, but the regret in her tone deeply hurt Akio Morita.
Looking at Tao Yushu's eyes, Akio Morita felt for a moment, and finally invited Lin Chaoyang and his wife to the office for a secret talk.
The next morning, Sony Pictures held a press conference at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, and grandly announced its strategic investment in Lin's Pictures to the outside world.
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the whole of Hollywood.
As early as half a month ago, the cooperation between Sony Pictures and Lin's Pictures was circulating in Hollywood. Now the news has finally been confirmed and immediately became the most eye-catching news in the American film industry.
After acquiring Columbia Pictures, despite Sony Pictures' losses for years, its position in the Hollywood and American film industries is beyond doubt.
Lin's Pictures has also been doing well in Hollywood in the past two years, and it is already one of the top film producers below the top six.
The cooperation between the two will inevitably increase Sony Pictures' voice and influence in Hollywood, surpassing Time Warner and Disney and becoming the most powerful film company in Hollywood.
"Hollywood Reporter" exclaimed directly: Asian capital invaded Hollywood.
Sony Pictures is one of the six major Hollywood studios. As soon as the news came out, it naturally became the focus of attention of the American media and the public, attracting the attention of the vast majority of media. Lin's Pictures received little attention, and Tao Yushu was also happy.
However, it would be different if the news came back to Xiangjiang. Lin's Film immediately appeared in Ming Pao and Xinbao
Headlines from major media such as Sing Tao Daily.
The stock price rose in response to the news, breaking through the 28 yuan per share mark on the same day, up 21%.
After two consecutive days, the stock price rose sharply, and its market value broke through the HK$30 billion mark, and its market value accounted for half of the Xiangjiang Communications Industry stocks.
It is equivalent to the total market value of TV broadcasting, Singdao Newspaper, Oriental Newspaper and South China Morning Post Group.
Such a crazy situation has caused all news media in Xiangjiang to fall into aphasia, but investors have not stopped their crazy pursuit of Lin's Pictures.
Xinli is a global company and is willing to spend $500 million to exchange for 10% of Lin's Pictures shares. What does this mean?
This shows that the market value of Lin's Pictures must be more than US$5 billion. Even elementary school students can calculate math problems. May investors not calculate it?
With US$5 billion as the market value benchmark for Lin’s Pictures, compared with the current exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, that is HK$42 billion. Lin’s Pictures’ current stock price and market value are still far from each other!
Buy Buy!
Hong Kong stocks have fallen into madness because of Sony Pictures' investment in Lin's Pictures. Tao Yushu, who is far away in the United States, was filled with relief when he heard the news.
At least for the moment, my choice is right.
After answering the phone, she returned to the restaurant, and Lin Chaoyang was still chatting with Robert Gottlieb.
After falling from the position of editor-in-chief of The New Yorker, Robert Gottlieb served as honorary editor-in-chief of Knauf Publishing House and continued to be active in the American publishing industry as an editor.
In addition to editing books, he now works part-time to compile biographies for many celebrities, which is also his personal hobby.
He has completed the "George Balanchin-King of Ballet" and the biography of Mikay Barresinnikov and Margo Fonden, and is editing the personal memoirs of Katherine Graham, the owner of the Washington Post.
He has worked hard in the American publishing industry for half his life, and now he is writing memoirs for American newspaper tycoon Catherine Graham, and has been exposed to a lot of insider information in the newspaper industry.
Tao Yushu talked to him about the acquisition of American media. Listening to Tao Yushu's words, Robert Gottlieb's expression became serious.
"Tao, are you planning to become a US citizen?"
Tao Yushu shook his head.
Robert Gottlieb said: "Even Murdoch wants to acquire the New York Post, he has to become an American citizen.
Unless you are willing to be an American, this is basically impossible."
Although I had known this was the case, Tao Yushu was still a little unwilling to accept this message when he heard it from Robert Gottlieb.
"What if I brought the company to the United States like a Japanese?"
She refers to the example of Sony's acquisition of CBS that year. Because Sony is a New York Stock Exchange listed company and there are a large number of U.S. shareholders among its shareholders, the acquisition of CBS that year was not subject to the US government's corruption.
Hearing the words, Robert Gottlieb hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "This is theoretically feasible,
