Chapter 149

The next day.

BBC economist: "IMDB website's acquisition of cinema companies is really a big plan!! According to yesterday's press conference, the IMDB website has developed an online booking system, which closely combines the cinema line with the Internet. Users can book tickets and watch movies online without queuing up to buy tickets! This online booking function, not only convenient and practical, but also cater to the preferences of young people, very fashionable and interesting! At present, IMDB website has developed into a comprehensive website combining movie portal and movie e-commerce. Now, through online booking system, IMDB website will attract more Internet users who like movies to become their users, which will undoubtedly play a great role in consolidating and developing the market! China theater is the most famous theater in the United States, which has a great influence on Hollywood. For IMDB, the acquisition of China theater is of great significance! "

Front page of the New York Times: "IMDB has made an extraordinary purchase of China theater, the largest cinema in the United States, and launched an online booking system!"

“……”

The content of yesterday's press conference spread across the United States like a rocket. For a time, Hollywood caused a huge sensation, online booking system shocked the whole industry!!!

Internet, IMDB website traffic surge!!!

ICQ and Isearch have talked about the online booking system of IMDB.

IMDB website received a lot of inquiries from cinema line, want to join the online booking system!

AMC cinema company saw that IMDB was so powerful that it not only acquired Chinese theater, but also launched online booking system, breaking the traditional business model of cinema. This change may bring a new atmosphere to the depressed cinema market!!! Therefore, joining the online booking system of IMDB website may be an opportunity to turn losses into profits

With the online booking system, IMDB will have a stronger influence and voice in the industry!

In the face of this situation, the board of directors of AMC cinema line is vacillating for a while!

On the stock market, the stock price of IMDB website rose wildly, almost stunned everyone, and rose 34% on the same day. The market value of IMDB has soared to more than $25 billion!!! Harvard University professor said: "IMDB website once the layout of the cinema is successful, its influence will be far more than any Hollywood film company, the status is aloof!"

Senior US analyst: "today, the market value of IMDB is only 25 billion yuan; Tomorrow, it will have a market value of 100 billion! " Of course, this "tomorrow" refers to the future.

IMDB website headquarters, San Jose, Silicon Valley, California.

"Before our online booking system is officially launched, we must win AMC cinema line!" Henry called in the IMDB's top management and said in a loud voice.

"Yes!" Everyone said excitedly. Before, they were still suspicious of Henry's decision-making. Now they see the stock price of IMDB website soaring, and they admire Henry one by one, almost to the point of obedience. And a saying has begun to spread inside the company, "we will make all the decisions made by Mr. Williams."; We always follow the instructions given by Mr. Williams

Henry continued: "in addition, we welcome all the cinema companies who want to join the online booking system. However, if you ask them to sign an exclusive agreement, online booking can only be made on our IMDB website. If you join other online booking systems, you will breach the contract, and the penalty will be higher for me! "

"Yes

"And... Tell them that if they want to join the online booking system, they need to transform the cinema, buy computers, open the Internet, buy network equipment, etc., which will be undertaken by all of us. They just pay for it!"

Marcy Phillip masked: "this... Maybe some cinema companies or independent cinemas don't agree."

"Why don't you agree?"?! We purchase in a unified way, have a greater say, and the price is not cheaper than that of each of them??? I'm doing it for their good. How can I disagree? "

"MMM!" Marcy Philemon nodded.

Henry left IMDB and then went to galaxy. At the moment, the CEO of Galaxy film company, Bob Robin, is already very excited.

Newspapers, television and the Internet are full of IMDB website news, and Galaxy film company and IMDB website are all the same boss. In the future, is the film distribution still a problem? Bob Robin can't help imagining that galaxy movies can be shown on tens of thousands of digital screens in the United States at the same time. Oh, the box office can fly

When Henry came to Bob Robin's office, he was still giggling with his mouth open and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Henry looked at Bob Robin in a daze, a little speechless. Mental illness?

Dong! Dong! Dong!!!

Henry banged hard on the table!

"Cough..." Bobbie robin was surprised and looked up. Eh, how did the chairman come to him?!

"Hello, chairman!"

"What's the matter? Have you done what I told you to do? "

"The expatriate team has found the right target. The name of the island is baranov Island, located in Alaska, covering an area of 4162 square kilometers, is the tenth island in the United States! The island is separated from the mainland by the famous Langer inland waterway, which is covered with dense forest. Tourism, forestry and fishery are the main economic pillars of the island. At present, the total population of the island is less than 2000 people! These are the views of the island... "As he said this, Bob Robin took a stack of photos out of the drawer and put them in front of Henry.

"The tenth largest island in the United States?! It looks good. It's even on the line! Well... The scenery is also good, clean sea, lush forest, open grassland... "Henry muttered as he looked at the photo.

Bob Robin looked at Henry and waited for his advice quietly, but suddenly he heard Henry say, "does the U.S. government sell it or not?"

"Cough..." when Bob Robinson choked, "Chairman, can the U.S. government sell such a big island?"

"Damn, it can't be sold. What's the use of saying so much!" Henry was a little speechless.

"Although we can't sell it, we can contract the island and develop it on it!"!!! The local government promised that if we go there to invest and drive the local economy, we will be given very favorable conditions! "

Henry thought about it, which is OK, so he asked, "how much is the contract fee and the term?"

"100 million dollars, 20 years! After the deadline, we have the priority to renew the contract! " Replied Bobbie Robin.

Henry pondered for a moment. The total cost of contracting and development should be less than one billion US dollars. In 20 years, it's enough to earn back! Moreover, priority can be given to renewal. Can do it!!!
