Reborn IT Giant

With this prerequisite, this matter will not be too difficult to operate. In addition, Zheng Yan feels that this is a profitable thing, so there is no harm in giving it a try.

"Mr. Morita, I understand what you mean. I can pretend that what happened a few days ago never happened. But you have to understand that there seems to be no area of ​​cooperation between us. This is an unchangeable fact."

Speaking of records, Zheng Yan can help, but Zheng Yan understands better that no matter how far Morita Ichiro develops Sony Music Entertainment, it will not have much impact on Sony, nor can he change his status in Sony.

"I know there are none now, but as long as Mr. Zheng is willing, I believe we will find areas where we can cooperate."

Seeing Zheng Yan relent, Morita Ichiro became more confident and continued: "As far as I know, Mr. Zheng is the founder of Longteng Entertainment, and the reason why Longteng Entertainment can develop to the scale it is today is because of the scripts written by Mr. Zheng

That’s the key.”

"Mr. Zheng also knows that Sony acquired Columbia Pictures a few years ago. Although I don't want to admit it, let alone judge my father, at present, that acquisition plan was a great failure."

"Even now, Columbia Pictures is still losing money. At Sony, Columbia Pictures is a quagmire that no one wants to touch. If Mr. Zheng is willing to cooperate with me, I can find a way to take over Columbia Pictures.

"

"In addition, Mr. Zheng's ability in the field of game development is also amazing. As long as I bring Columbia Pictures back to life, I can get more power at Sony, and we can have more cooperation in the game field.

"

Before Long Teng entered the United States, Ichiro Morita would certainly not have made such a decision. No matter how successful Hong Kong's movies were, they were never recognized by the Western world, which was inconsistent with Columbia Pictures' development plan.

But things are different now. Starting from "Schindler's List", to later "The Truman Show", and even "Jurassic Park", everyone has gained both fame and fortune. The whole of Hollywood has to admit that Zheng Yan is good at writing scripts.

capabilities.

If it is just a cooperation with a film company, Zheng Yan is not interested, because Zheng Yan knows that as long as he prepares a script, there is basically no possibility of losing money. In addition, he already has Spielberg as a partner.

Columbia Pictures is, at best, the icing on the cake.

However, Zheng Yan is a little tempted by the cooperation of game companies. Now Blizzard has been acquired by Zheng Yan, and Sony Game Company is one of the three largest game companies in the world. With Sony's help, Blizzard will undoubtedly be less likely to leave.

Many detours.

"Mr. Morita, with all due respect, this cooperation may allow Columbia Pictures to turn a profit and get you the status you want, but what can I get?"

"To be arrogant, I can guarantee that as long as the scripts I provide or the games I develop are guaranteed to be profitable. And I have sufficient funds to operate, so why should I cooperate with you?"

The problem Zheng Yan mentioned is what Iichiro Morita is most worried about. Although Zheng Yan's words are very arrogant, we have to admit that so far, Zheng Yan has never failed, whether it is games, movies, or other aspects.

invest.

"Mr. Zheng, my power is limited now, so I can't come up with anything that interests you, but I can guarantee that as long as I gain enough power at Sony, I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Zheng in all aspects, and even

Find a way for you to become one of Sony's shareholders."

Ichiro Morita has regarded Zheng Yan as his last chance, so he is a little desperate.

When he heard the conditions, Zheng Yan was indeed tempted for a moment. Bill Gates once said that any company may go bankrupt tomorrow, including their Microsoft. But Japanese companies such as Sony, Mitsubishi, and Mitsui are a special group of companies.

Yes, it is basically impossible for the Japanese government to let them go bankrupt.

However, Zheng Yan quickly gave up this idea. Even if he invested in Sony, he would only buy it at a par price or even at a premium. This is inconsistent with Zheng Yan's usual style. Compared with investing in Sony, it is better to invest in some Internet companies.

"Mr. Morita, we will talk about the future matters later. You can first find a way to do it."

As the president of Columbia Pictures, as long as this is achieved, I will make arrangements for cooperation."

Ever since he entered the room, Ichiro Morita had been very calm. When he heard Zheng Yan agreed, Iichiro Morita's mood finally showed some fluctuations.

"Really? I hope we can have a happy cooperation. In addition, I know that Mr. Zheng has always been keen on investing in the Internet industry. I have 5% of Apple's shares here, which I can give to Mr. Zheng to express my gratitude for what happened before.

apology."

The shares of Apple that Iichiro Morita took out did not belong to the Sony Group, but were investments made by the Morita family themselves when the Japanese purchased large quantities of American companies.

In fact, since Steve Jobs left Apple, Apple has been losing money most of the time, and its market share has shrunk, from 20% to about 5%.

In addition, in the past few years, Apple's products have failed again and again, and Apple has frequently changed its "commanders". The value of these shares is no longer high, and it is just a favor.

Zheng Yan, on the other hand, had already made preparations and no longer dwelled on the immediate gains and losses. Unexpectedly, he immediately saw the money back, and it was a large amount of money back.

"Mr. Morita, it seems that you have done a lot of work for this meeting. However, there is no need to give it to me. If you really want to express your apology, you can sell it to me."

At the moment, Apple's shares are not valuable, but Zheng Yan is aware of his potential and does not want to owe Morita Iichiro a favor. Morita's goal has been achieved, and the purpose of giving out the shares is just to consolidate the relationship, so he does not insist on it.

After leaving the banquet venue, Zheng Yan began to make plans again. Including the shares he had won from Buddy Morris, Zheng Yan now controls nearly 10% of Apple's shares. Zheng Yan is even considering whether to think about it.

The way is to bring Steve Jobs back in advance.

However, Zheng Yan also understands that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Apple's success is largely due to the software developed by computer companies. Now Zheng Yan still doesn't know to what extent that software has reached.
