Chapter 256

When Henry arrived at the company, an employee immediately informed him that the chairman had asked him to come.

After hearing the news, Bobbie Robin rushed over.

Helen will stay in the personnel department, director Rowling personally take her familiar with the company's business!

As soon as he got to the chairman's office, he explained to Henry about Helen. After hearing this, Henry said with a smile: "since she doesn't care and is willing to stay in the personnel department, let her stay there. Oh, by the way, what's Miramax's response to our acquisition request? "

Henry asked, shaking his glass and taking a sip.

"They said they would accept our offer, but the Weinstein brothers want to keep 30% of the shares and allow us to buy 70% of Miramax pictures for $50 million!"

When Henry heard this, he laughed and said, "ha ha, they are very smart. Although the number of shares is small, we can release our company's films, and with the help of collective resources, Miramax film company will grow and grow, and they will eventually get more profits! "

"Yes Bob Robin nodded and said, "not only the films we make, but also the films that other film companies give us for distribution. If they don't meet our galaxy film brand type, they will be given to Miramax for distribution!"

Henry nodded, then thought about it for a while, and said to Bob Robin, "keep talking to them and try to reduce their shareholding."

"Well, all right."

Miramax film company is not Henry's main purpose to find Bobbie Robin. Pixar Animation Studio has completed the first full-length computer animation movie "Toy Story" in the history of film. If it doesn't make a big noise, it will make a big splash. Pixar Animation Studio has shocked the world!

Animated film is usually more profitable than a film, especially the derived peripheral value, which makes people envious!

See how Disney's animated films make money, you will know! The most obvious point is that among the six major Hollywood film companies, only Disney has acquired other companies and become a media giant, while other film companies have been acquired by other companies and become their subsidiaries!!!

"Toy story has been produced by Pixar Animation Studio. Let Galaxy film release it," Henry told Bobbie Robin! At the same time, I'm going to merge Pixar Animation Studio into Galaxy Studios! "

"Chairman, after Pixar Animation Studio joins Galaxy film company, we can learn from Disney and build Pixar theme park!"

"Well, that's right. Disney theme park, not only can bring huge profits for the company, but also play a role in publicity! Every time Disney's animated film is to be released, new characters will be added to the theme park in advance to attract tourists, and at the same time make people expect new films. After the release of the movie, the characters in the animation are on fire, which can bring huge traffic to the theme park and create greater revenue! This way of publicity is very worthy of our reference! "

Henry said, "in addition, we also need to set up a franchise store. In the future, all the toys, clothes and so on produced around the film can be sold in our own company's franchise store. On the one hand, it can generate income, on the other hand, it is also for publicity!"

Henry thought about it and said, "well? As for the name of the exclusive store, it's called "Galaxy store!"

Galaxy store?!!

As soon as Bob Robin heard the name, he felt like a blockhouse!

"Chairman, it's a good name. If passers-by see this, they will go into the store curiously..."

Henry laughed and said, "hehe, are you ok. Then the merger of Pixar Animation Studio and the establishment of theme park and Galaxy store are all up to you! I'm going to buy TV stations! " Henry paused and said in a deep voice, "the name of Williams Film and television media company is not in vain. Recently, some newspapers say that our company is not worthy of its name. Only film companies are media companies. Well, let's do something worthy of the name

"Whoa Bob Robin can't help but cry. He is very surprised. He thinks that if the chairman of the board wants to buy TV station, then Galaxy film company will have another backer in the future?

At this time, Henry drank all the wine in his hand, and then said to him, "that's it for the time being. Go ahead and do something."

"Well, OK, chairman, I will finish what you told me!"

After that, Bob Robin said goodbye to Henry. When he left, he was obviously excited!

Henry then asked his secretary to contact Ted Turner, the founder of Ted broadcasting company, to make an appointment with him! Just as Henry was browsing the TBS Ted documents, the secretary came.

"Chairman, Mr. Ted Turner accepts your invitation and will fly to California from New York to meet you in three days!"

"Well, OK, I see!" Henry nodded, and then went on to the file.

At noon, Henry wanted to invite Helen to have dinner together, but Helen said that when she first came to the company, she didn't want to expose her identity as the chairman's girlfriend, and she wanted to have a good relationship with her colleagues and have dinner with them, so she refused Henry's invitation.

After hearing this, Henry shook his head with a smile and went to eat Chinese food alone.

After lunch, Henry had a good night's sleep in his office bedroom before he got up. As the boss of the company, no one will disturb him, and you don't have to go to work on time! Going to work is like playing, reading files, surfing the Internet for a while, playing games, or watching a movie. The day goes by like that!

In the leisure room of the office, there are several arcades of Capcom. One of them is the latest arcade game developed by Capcom, but it has not been released yet. The name of the game is "Boxer 1992", which Henry asked them to make and will be put on sale in August 1992. Among them, Henry also plagiarized many of the previous lives of the "Boxer king" role! The game plays, quite energetic, with "boxing emperor 1995" almost!

There is no doubt about the classic!!!

At that time, once launched, I am afraid to sweep the arcade market!

The current arcade market has become a mess.

Plagiarism and plagiarism.

Countless game companies in Japan are plagiarizing "street overlord 2". Almost all the fighting games on the market are printed from one mold! Capcom is busy making games, but it has to fight a lawsuit at the same time! There are too many things to worry about. Fortunately, Henry didn't have to worry about it. He just made a big policy, and then... Played games!

Henry calls himself a game experiencer. He will try out all the games that the company focuses on.

In addition to kapkong's arcade games, firefly's computer games, Henry is also one of the first players to contact!

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, Blizzard and West wood game company jointly produced "Warcraft 1" has finally been completed, can be listed at any time. Last year, it was said that it would be completed in only one month. But as a result, it is procrastinating, constantly Skipping!

Well, Henry understands their spirit of excellence!

"Warcraft 1" in the eyes of Henry, who has more than n game experience, in fact, there are many shortcomings of the game. But in the eyes of others, or in the eyes of all developers of Blizzard and simu, the game is perfect and a classic!

And the "Warcraft 1" development team's repeated vote skipping let the original game development speed lag behind their ID software game company to catch up.

At the beginning, id software game company did not develop games directly, but under Henry's command, it developed 3D game engine with great ambition! Now, they not only developed the 3D game engine "quake", but also successfully produced a shooting game "destroyer" by using the 3D game engine "quake"!

Henry still remembers that when "destroyer" was released, it swept the world and immediately changed the computer game industry. It was a milestone!!!

Previously, home computer games or arcade games have always dominated the market, while computer games can only stand aside, but "destroyer" has detonated the whole computer game market. According to statistics of relevant US organizations, after the release of "destroyer", the truancy rate of American students has increased by 18%, and the most disgusting thing for American teachers is "destroyer"!

And "destroyer" has almost become a phenomenal game, which is very well-known in the United States. Many companies have asked for the authorization of films, cartoons, novels, game posters, peripheral products and brand authorization, which is also a big sale!

Henry has decided to log in Warcraft 1 and destroyer together on the firefly game platform, and the release time is on July 1! It's more than June now, and soon the game will meet with you. Players all over the world should be ready to be shocked!

Henry waited three days, and Ted Turner finally arrived.

This is an old man in his fifties. He is wearing a white shirt, a black suit and a purple embroidered tie. He is very formal. He is 1.8 meters tall, sharp eyes, calm temperament, just like a successful person's style!

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!" Ted Turner reached out and said.

Henry shook hands with him and replied with a smile, "so do I. nice to meet you, Mr. Ted Turner!"

Henry invited Ted Turner to his chairman's office and asked his secretary to make him a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Ted Turner, you may have guessed why I asked you to meet?" Henry asked with a smile.

After Henry said that, Ted Turner was not in a hurry to pick up the coffee cup, gently sipped, and immediately slowly put the cup back to its original place. Henry had been looking at Ted Turner with a patient smile, not half worried.

In fact, Ted Turner always observes Henry's manner from time to time when he is drinking coffee. If Henry shows a bit of impatience, then in the next negotiation, Ted Turner doesn't mind calling the price higher

Henry went through many negotiations and had a lot of experience. Naturally, Ted Turner didn't find his weakness!

Unable to find his weakness and reply to Henry's words, Ted Turner finally moved the corner of his mouth and laughed at Henry. Then he said, "maybe he guessed right or wrong. Ha ha, how can I be sure about that! But I don't think Mr. Williams invited me here to have coffee. Of course, the coffee tastes very good. It's a first-class Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee

After that, Ted Turner picked up the cup again and began to taste the coffee slowly.

Henry shook his head in his heart. The old man was very patient and always talked about him.

"Well, Mr. Turner, we won't waste time in circles. I invite you to come here to buy TBS Turner Broadcasting Company under your name! " Henry said, looking straight into Ted Turner's eyes!

Ted Turner's face didn't change obviously. It was obvious that he had anticipated Henry's goal before he came here!

"Oh, Mr. Williams, you should know that TBS Turner Broadcasting Company is my life's hard work. I may not sell it!"

"No! You will sell it Henry said confidently, "Mr. Turner, don't you find that with the rise of the Internet, traditional TV news has been greatly affected? Don't you find that the transmission speed of Internet news is faster than that of TV stations. In 1991, CNN's audience rating reached its peak, but after that, instead of rising, it began to decline! You know, in 1992, Clinton was elected president of the United States with the highest voice. Among his governing ideas, including vigorously developing the "Internet information superhighway.". It can be imagined that the vigorous development of the Internet is bound to have a greater impact than traditional TV news! "

Ted Turner's face finally changed when he heard Henry's words!!!

Ted Turner is most proud of CNN, once CNN collapsed, his Turner Broadcasting Company will be extremely with the water!

Henry's words are not alarmist. Under the impact of the Internet, TV stations, newspapers and publishing houses have been greatly affected! Many companies went bankrupt. In fact, Ted Turner had realized this for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have stepped back and sold Turner Broadcasting Company to Time Warner!

In an interview with a reporter, he once told the reporter with a smile: "the development speed of the Internet is too terrible. It's just a monster that will devour everything, including my CNN..." of course, maybe Ted Turner is a vassal after the event, so he said this sentence. But there is no denying that he made the right decision!

At this time, it was Henry's turn to drink coffee, which was fragrant, strong and intoxicating.

Ted Turner, after a while, laughed at Henry and said, "Mr. Williams, I have to say that your words have touched me a lot!"

"Oh, really? It seems that Mr. Turner has agreed to sell TBS! " Henry laughed.

Ted Turner chuckled, then he didn't speak.

Henry frowned at him and asked, "Mr. Turner, aren't you going to sell TBS?"

Ted Turner then gave Henry a meaningful smile and said, "there's something I have to tell you."

Henry looked at him and motioned him to continue!

"Time Warner is also interested in buying TBS," Ted Turner said

Henry frowned deeper and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Turner, as far as I know, Time Warner doesn't seem to have asked you for a purchase, does it?"

"No doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Ted Turner said with a smile, "although time warner has not formally made a request to acquire TBS, the CEO of Time Warner often chats with me. I can tell from his words that time warner wants to acquire TBS!"

All right, Henry. Ted Turner is so cunning!

"Mr. Turner, let's get to the point. How much do you want to sell TBS?"
