From retail to global domination

Zhang Yang, Li Zhenxin and others walked on the Avenue of Stars.

The Walk of Fame stretches along Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street in the east to La Brea Avenue in the west, and then proceeds from north to south along Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Boulevard.

Unless it occasionally changes location due to nearby construction or other reasons, the location of the star-shaped medallion on the avenue is permanent.

The Avenue of Stars is inlaid with more than 2,000 star-shaped medals with names to commemorate their contributions to the entertainment industry.

There are Dolby Theater, Chinese Theater, Sunset Strip, Universal Studios, and Outdoor Theater. Since you are here, of course you have to check it out.

This is Hollywood!

Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.

culture.

Yes, this can be considered a culture.

When everyone identifies with Hollywood, they have already identified with the culture of a beautiful country.

What's scariest?

cultural invasion.

But it's a pity that China's entertainment industry cannot reach this level.

If possible, Zhang Yang really wants to build a Hollywood in China.

Chinese Hollywood?

This requires huge funds and foundation to maintain.

This beautiful country's Hollywood has been established for hundreds of years, so it certainly has a lot of heritage.

Let's take a look.

Zhang Yang is short of funds now. When he is not short of money, he can invest some money. If he really wants to create a Chinese version of Hollywood, that will be awesome.

Zhang Qian was originally very lively, but after Li Zhenxin appeared, she restrained her personality.

Zhang Qian was still very frightened about Li Zhenxin.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Yang could tell.

He's a little funny.

This girl didn't treat Tian Xue and Ye Xinyi like this, but she treated Li Zhenxin like this?

He also looked at Li Zhenxin with some curiosity.

I can't understand.

Many people come to Hollywood every day, and you can see people from all over the world here.

There are also many people of yellow race, and I don’t know if they are from China or other countries.

Zhang Yang had no intention of saying hello.

While walking, I met someone who surprised Zhang Yang.

To be precise, he should be a Hollywood star.

Scarlett Black Widow.

Isn't this a bit too lucky?

At this time, Scarlett was not as famous as she would be in later generations, but she was very beautiful, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but look at her twice.

When Zhang Yang looked at Scarlett, Scarlett also looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang has been staring at Scarlett, how could she not feel it?

She was also a little surprised. Why was this Asian staring at her?

Is it because you don’t know yourself?

There is only one explanation.

Otherwise, why follow her?

Her fans?

Maybe so.

Celebrities all have good intentions towards their fans, and so does Scarlett.

She smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yang didn't expect Scarlett to nod to her, and Zhang Yang responded in kind to Scarlett who expressed her kindness.

This scene was seen by Li Zhenxin.

She frowned optimistically.

Li Zhenxin really doesn’t know Scarlett.

Although Scarlett is now nominated in Hollywood, she is really not famous.

Li Zhenxin only knows famous celebrities.

She is not very young, and sometimes she also chases stars.

Although I don’t know Scarlett, this woman is so beautiful.

Isn't he a little star?

This is Li Zhenxin's idea.

If she is a celebrity, it won't pose much of a threat to her.

At the level of Zhang Yang, it is impossible to marry a celebrity as his wife.

Thinking of this, Li Zhenxin breathed a sigh of relief.

Scarlett was also curious. There were two Asian beauties next to this fan and several bodyguards behind him.

That's right, it's a bodyguard.

She had very good eyesight and could tell at a glance that these people were bodyguards.

You can tell it by looking at their aura.

Could it be that the young master from either Neon Country or H Country is the same?

Probably so.

As for Hua Xia, it was directly filtered out by her.

Scarlett didn't know much about China. In her impression, only Neon and Country H were wealthy.

How afraid would you be to die if you go out with such a bodyguard?

I don’t blame Scarlett for thinking so.

A young man, who would kill you?

Or are you afraid of being robbed?

Then there’s no need for five bodyguards, right?

The two of them had enough sex.

All I can say is that if you have money, you can be willful.

The two parties just nodded and then left.

Zhang Yang also had no intention of asking Scarlett for her autograph. If it had been in the previous life, he probably would have been unable to bear it any longer.

After walking around Hollywood for a long time, a few people went to the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The Beverly Hills Hotel covers an area of ​​12 acres and was built in 1912 at a cost of US$500,000. It was closed for renovation in the 1990s, which lasted two years and cost US$140 million, and reopened in 1995.

Even in Beverly Hills, this is an extremely expensive plastic surgery. Entering the hotel from the bustling street is like entering a sanctuary, and its quiet elegance seems to have remained unchanged over the past century.

Marilyn Monroe once sipped a milkshake here, and Marina Dietrich was once banned from the luxurious lounge because she was wearing a pantsuit.

The price of eating here is not low, but when they are as rich as Zhang Yang and Li Zhenxin, do they care?

The only thing that makes Zhang Yang feel regretful is that there is no Chinese food here!

Since arriving in the beautiful country, he hasn't had Chinese food for a long time.

Silicon Valley doesn't have it, and neither does Hollywood.

Los Angeles does.

It seems that when the tour is over, I will go to Chinatown in Los Angeles for a big meal.

Since there is no Chinese food, we can only eat Western food!

What Zhang Yang didn't expect was that he met Scarlett again.

This is the second time I've encountered it.

Hollywood is not a big city, but it happens too frequently, right?

Scarlett naturally saw Zhang Yang.

He is so conspicuous that it is difficult not to see him first.

She also didn't expect that the two sides would meet again.

Scarlett is quite impressed with this Asian.

With two beauties and five bodyguards beside him, it's strange that he didn't have an impression.

Very few people come to Hollywood with bodyguards, and even if they do, they don’t bring so many.

Now that they met, Scarlett nodded towards Zhang Yang again.

It seems that this fan has a lot of background.

The key is that Zhang Yang looks at her again.

She was not sure before, but now she is sure that this must be her fan, there is no doubt about it.

Zhang Yang also didn't expect to meet Scarlett again.

He is thinking about one thing, whether to enter Hollywood?

If you want to enter Hollywood, there is no chance.

In 2005, Sony spent US$4.8 billion to acquire the MGM film company through leverage. If it cuts off the company in the middle, it will definitely succeed.

This is his chance.

If I don't make a move this time, I will have no chance to acquire MGM in the future.

Should we take action or not?

In fact, he was still very tempted, this was MGM.

MGM was founded in 1924 and is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies. It is also a symbol of American film and Hollywood. The films produced by MGM have won a total of 170 Oscars so far, ranking among the major Hollywood film companies.

It is the leader. It has many superstars and once created the myth of launching a movie every week.

Not to mention anything else, the copyright alone is worth US$4.8 billion.

The copyright of the very classic Tom and Jerry is also owned by MGM.

It's tempting, but it will cost 4.8 billion U.S. dollars!

No money.

That's right, there is just no money.

Maybe by 2005, he can accumulate 4.8 billion, but he will have great use for these funds.

It is not cost-effective to acquire a film company.

Confused, very confused.

Still have no money to make trouble.

Damn, he is the most miserable reborn person.

Look at the other reborns, they can buy whatever they want, but when it comes to him, they are so weak and embarrassing to their peers.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore.

It is impossible for him to spend 4.8 billion to acquire a film company because he is eyeing the semiconductor industry.

If you want to acquire the semiconductor industry, tens of billions of dollars will not be enough.

It’s tens of billions of dollars, and the RMB is almost 10 million!

Ten million, it makes me feel sad just thinking about it.

But there is nothing he can do. If the other party sells him, he will burn a lot of money.

I'm afraid that no matter how much money he offers, the other party won't give in to him.

Zhang Yang remembered that in his last life, Toshiba sold its chip business for US$18 billion.

Although it is 2005 now, the price will not be much lower than in 2018, or even higher.

Because Toshiba has not yet suffered a loss.

The real losses began in 2008. At that time, Toshiba's strategy was wrong, and Toshiba lied about its financial statements in order to conceal it.

Now that Zhang Yang is reborn, if he wants to acquire Toshiba's semiconductors, he must expose their behavior. Only in this way will Toshiba undergo great changes and even sell the chip industry at a low price.

Toshiba has many industries, but they ended up selling chips and keeping other industries.

It’s not that the chip business is unimportant, it’s that they think other industries are more important than chips. You know, when they sold the chip business, it was 2018, when smartphones were at their peak.

Choosing to sell the chip business to pay off debt is also a major decision.

In this life, Zhang Yang plans to let Toshiba sell its chip business in advance, so he wants to expose Toshiba's financial statements.

But this needs to be planned carefully and Toshiba cannot know about it, otherwise it will not be sold to them at all.

08 years.

That's right, it was 2008.

During the 2008 financial crisis, once Toshiba's scandal was exposed, they would not be able to hold on. The stock market was booming, and he would be able to get a lot of bargains by then.

Toshiba is not just in the chip business.

He coveted that technology.

It was directly through the financial crisis of 2008 that he had the opportunity to acquire these technologies.

Otherwise they wouldn't sell it to him.

Many companies in the beautiful country are also coveting Toshiba's technology. Once Toshiba announces the sale of its chip business, these guys will definitely take over.

Once the beautiful country intervenes, there will be no publicity.

Even if he offers more money than Meiliguo, the other party will not sell its chip business to him.

Technology monopoly.

That's right, it's a technological monopoly.

The West will not agree.

If the West disagrees, will Toshiba dare to resist?

Don't dare.

But it was different in 2008.

Even if Western companies are providing Toshiba with technology, they don't have the funds or dare not acquire it.

In the financial crisis, cash is king. Who would be stupid enough to spend tens of billions of dollars to acquire Toshiba's chip business?

No matter how cheap it is, it probably still costs 15 billion US dollars. Unless those companies are crazy, they would spend so much cash to acquire a company during the financial crisis.

At that time, it is really possible to help others and deceive yourself.

They wouldn't do such stupid things.

This is why Zhang Yang insisted on taking action in 2008. This was a good opportunity, an opportunity to break the Western monopoly.

Once you miss it, you won't get a second chance.

This is why Zhang Yang suppressed the throbbing in his heart even though he knew he would make a lot of money by acquiring MGM.

The funds cannot be moved.

Because he didn’t have the confidence to accumulate US$15 billion in 2008.

Moreover, he is not only targeting the chip business, but also other businesses and industries. If he doesn’t have 20 billion US dollars, I’m afraid it won’t be enough...
