Chapter 394

Merger and acquisition are always the quickest way for an enterprise to develop and grow.

Throughout the Internet technology enterprises such as Microsoft and Cisco, they have grown rapidly through a series of means such as mergers and acquisitions.

Hollywood film company, the same!

Universal, Disney, paramount, Columbus, Warner and 20th century fox are known as the six major Hollywood studios, none of which is a pure production company. It has a variety of comprehensive industries, such as production, distribution, music, books, television, broadcasting, surrounding areas, studios, games, publishing and so on.

Golden Dawn entertainment group, also under the jurisdiction of Golden Dawn Music, TV group, Golden Dawn publishing, game company and many other subsidiaries.

But when it comes to the number of subsidiaries and comprehensive volume, compared with the six largest Hollywood companies, Zhuke is still far behind!

But now it's different!

In today's downward economic environment, whoever has enough cash is the master!

With a lot of cash, Zhuke naturally took advantage of the opportunity to open the road of M & A. in a short period of one month, he successively acquired a number of film and television companies, which shocked other Hollywood companies.

Miramax.

It is a film and television production company under the Disney group, and Disney holds the absolute control of Miramax pictures, which makes Harvey Weinstein, the founder and chairman of Miramax, quite dissatisfied.

"Why Disney?"

"How could I have made so much money every year if I hadn't been the promoter of the Oscars, cutting off awards frequently in the Oscars, and making a film that is not well-known become a popular film?"

"But look what Disney is doing to me now?"

"A bunch of bastards, they want to weaken my authority!"

"Not only that, but also a board meeting will be held to remove my position as chairman of the board. Asshole, do they forget that I'm the founder of Miramax! "

Harvey Weinstein, filled with indignation, repeatedly scolded Disney for more than ten minutes in the office.

long time.

As Harvey's brother, Bob Weinstein just said quietly, "have you seen the news these days?"

"You mean chuck Wald?" Harvey's face was immediately shocked.

"That's right!"

Bob said in a deep voice: "except for the big six, only MGM pictures and DreamWorks, which hope to break the six monopolies, can be below them. But now? As Zucker Wald starts to buy major film and television companies, it is obvious that before long, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group will be able to become the existence of this category, even surpassing MGM and DreamWorks. "

Harvey nodded heavily, filled with admiration.

Why doesn't he want to start the road of acquisition?

However, his boss is Disney group in Hollywood, which makes him constrained and unable to make a decision in a word.

"Ah ~"

For a long time, Harvey Weinstein sighed and said, "it's also strange that we didn't stand the temptation of Disney at the beginning, otherwise we wouldn't be so frustrated now. There are shackles and constraints everywhere."

Now the Wald film industry, like a runaway Mustang, running wantonly.

The factor restricting the rapid development of Wald film industry is not money, but the lack of manpower and talents. But now, Zhuke boldly acquired a number of film and television companies!

Once the integration is completed, the production ability of Wald pictures will be improved qualitatively.
