Reborn American Tycoon
Page 44
The boss behind Atari is Warner. This is not a fake giant like United Artists, but they are really powerful.
Warner Corporation is a giant in the true sense. It not only has its own TV network, but also has the very famous HBO cable station.
Newspapers, magazines, and comics are all available. Before the strong rise of News Corporation, Warner was the leader in the industry.
Atari is just a very inconspicuous part of their business. Regardless of how loud Atari's boss is, he probably doesn't even have the qualifications to participate in the board of directors.
With so many affiliates, it's easy to spot Warner's expansion path.
Yes, takeover.
Although the economy in the past two years has been bad, the media has not had much influence. White Films has already entered their attention. If William White hadn't risen too fast, Warner Corporation would have made a move.
Now the acquisition is a bit difficult. The other party has made it clear that they are not short of money, and they also have ambitions for the entertainment industry. They are definitely not an easy master to deal with.
This old guy, Steve Ross, is not simple. He definitely belongs to the type of domineering CEO, insidious and cunning but also knows how to judge the situation.
This guy's connections are also terrifying, Barbra Streisand and Spielberg are his good friends.
From his choice, you can see that his vision is not ordinary Niu 13. Spielberg will not say more, everyone knows it very well, and Barbra Streisand is not a small person.
When Madonna was still performing on the street, she was already a diva-level singer. The first film she directed and acted in, actually snatched away the crown of best director.
That's the Oscars, people mainly sing, and making movies is just for ticketing.
Speaking of Steve Ross, the old guy is very entangled now. He can't understand the rise of William White. He also participated in the suppression, but then everything was completely out of control, and that damn kid suddenly soared into the sky. up.
For a hero, forbearance is not a problem for the time being. As long as the opportunity is right, he doesn't mind eating the bones. That kid has so many good things that it's hard not to covet them.
He was annoyed about the Christmas schedule, but he didn't expect another moth to appear.
According to the situation reported by his subordinates, their game consoles are also very powerful, and it is simply a matter of time before they can be transformed into video games.
Movies, games, and the mysterious comics, so many projects overlap with Warner, it is difficult not to have friction.
Use some dirty tricks?
That tyrannical Texas cowboy is not easy to deal with. He can dye people's dogs green, and you can't rule out the possibility of direct firefights.
The current Steve Ross is delicate and expensive, so he doesn't want to fight with anyone, which is really unnecessary.
The most important thing is that they may not be able to fight. Their current bodyguards are all special elites, and their own security company. The club figures he met are really not enough for them to play.
The common problem of rich people is to cherish their lives. The old guy obviously hesitated. He was really not sure about the other party's reaction. According to his previous performance, this is a bastard who will get revenge.
About Steve Ross, later generations will have a book introduction, William White certainly knows how powerful he is, and the direct blame for the plagiarism incident is aimed at this old guy.
Relying on his young age, William White beat the master to death with his fists. His unreasonableness really scared many people away.
Everyone is a person of status, and he will not go crazy with him. For these old guys, the guy with deep thoughts is terrible. A guy with a hot temper will play himself to death sooner or later.
People who are going to die sooner or later, why bother to have the same knowledge as him, if you put yourself in it, you will be finished.
I haven't seen the Hunter family being soft-hearted. They made it clear that they were cheating on you, so they did it if they were not convinced.
We all know that Texans are unreliable, but I didn't expect it to be like this. What era is it now, why is there such a ridiculous thing as Rush, do you think it was before World War II?
Before the press conference even started, the outside world was already boiling. William White knew that today's guests definitely had representatives from various forces.
But he doesn't care, buddy, this is a legitimate business, if you come up with a harmful theory of the game, buddy will evacuate from the United States.
Chapter 99 Numbness
As time went by, there were more and more guests in the lobby on the first floor. Affected by the surrounding atmosphere, theater operators who had no interest at first also began to think.
The time finally came for the press conference, and the guests were very curious about what else could be released after this spectacular display.
William White didn't wear a suit, but a tie, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up high, more like an IT guy than a boss.
"Ahem, everyone, the three games you saw downstairs were our products last year, and there will still be plans to approve three games this year." A few simple words quickly silenced the scene.
This stuff is too pretentious, without mentioning the three games downstairs, it seems to be a very simple matter.
"Today is not so much a new product launch event as it is an investment promotion conference. For friends who are interested in moving game consoles into movie theaters, we can provide a complete financial solution. We can formulate different distribution plans according to the profitability of a single console."
Of course, the theater operators are very happy to say these words, and there is no risk by visual inspection.
"Of course, it's OK if you are willing to buy it out, but I don't produce it here. Regarding production issues, we can order OEM or adopt a licensing model. We can exchange opinions in private on the specific content."
The manufacturers of game consoles understand that they have made it clear that they will give up production and will not compete with them for profits in the production process.
In the following time, William White introduced three games of the 80s, roughly depicting the blueprint for the legendary world.
William White's eloquence is excellent, not only makes people feel friendly, but also has a strong appeal, which also makes many people eager to try.
What William White said is very reasonable. The time waiting for the movie to start is fragmented time. They can play game consoles for a while. This is much more profitable than those jukeboxes, and there is no need to pay any copyright fees.
With the expansion of the types of games, special game halls will also appear, but this will not affect the guests who entertain in the cinema. This is a good income, which can make up for the loss of insufficient box office.
All in all, the blueprint drawn by William White is very good, and theater operators will obviously take advantage of it.
William White was fooling around on the stage, and the guys below were obviously a little bit excited. The threshold was obviously very low, but they didn't know if the production capacity could keep up.
Looking back at the group of well-dressed footbath people, these bigwigs from the theater seemed to understand something. They were obviously prepared, and the production capacity of those guys was still very reliable.
Several foot basin companies know very well that the number of these orders will be so terrifying that any of them will not be able to keep up.
Scanning around, there is no one from the United States, that is to say, William White is not going to produce in the United States.
Today's press conference contained a lot of information. After William White finished his speech, these guys woke up like a dream.
There was thunderous applause for a while, Lao Mei's frivolity was fully displayed at this moment, the people in the foot basin were just applauding, and Lao Mei even whistled.
William White signaled with a smile, then turned and left. It was lunch time, and he needed to change a piece of clothing.
How to wear a speech on stage is a matter of personal style. You can’t say anything about jeans and a shirt. It’s different for a buffet party. Such a dress will be very rude.
Although it is a buffet, it is also very rich. William White is a guy who likes to scratch his mouth, so he will not wrong his belly.
The guests at the meeting were also very emotional. They had been to many cold dinner parties, but they had never seen such a reception by a local tyrant. After all, the son of a rich family is still different.
Robert Galvin is in a good mood. Today he is right. The following game consoles all use 68000 series CPUs. According to today's situation, they will make a good profit.
For Motorola, William White was very speechless. Such a great company was eventually scrapped by the capital market.
In the field of communication, they have created many firsts. The first call between humans and the moon also used their equipment.
Not to mention the communication field, even this 68000 series CPU is also cross-generational. This chip is still widely used after 2000, so it goes without saying how powerful it is.
This is a product from the 70s.
Go find it, there is no such longevity chip on the market.
The most speechless thing is that this is just someone else's sideline, just for fun, not too serious.
Maybe the communication industry is highly profitable, and they really look down on the IT industry. This department was later sold as a whole, but it was cheap for the foot basin.
There are a lot of people at the luncheon, and there is really no result. At most, there is a preliminary intention, and the specific cooperation content will have to be discussed again.
The capital market responded quickly. Motorola's stock first stopped falling and rebounded. Although theater stocks did not rise, they did not continue to fall endlessly.
For William White's game console, Wall Street is optimistic, but at the same time, it is this lucky bastard again.
William White was a little tired. He simply rinsed off and went to sleep in the office. Naturally, he was not needed for the negotiation. If he had to find the boss for this kind of thing, he probably wouldn't have time to have fun.
He slept here, and the outside world became lively, and Atari was quickly dragged out to parade the streets.
In the eyes of most people, Legendary World is more like a big company, and Atari is really weak. The most hateful thing is that it is still stubborn after being slapped in the face.
Since it was acquired by Warner, Atari has been fighting internally, and there is a Warner who always wants to point fingers. It is really hell to have any good products.
A group of guild organizations are also very upset. They have received news that no American manufacturer has participated.
These bastards are there to show their presence. If you pay attention to them, they will immediately push their noses in the face.
Legend World’s reply is very simple. For some cheap basic products, the United States does not have a cost advantage. If there are relatively high-end equipment in the future, local companies will definitely be considered.
Mr. William White was a patriot, there can be no doubt about it.But business is business, and you can't make a profit at a loss.
The example of the White software adapter card is there. We want to involve local companies. What is the result?
There are also those people with ulterior motives who always instigate workers to rest. For this reason, we have compensated many times, so go and see if there is such a situation in the foot basin.
Not once, all delivered on time.
The guild is also considered unlucky, and it has ulterior motives. It's useless if you want to deny it, because people know the time and place very well.
Laomei's guild has always been domineering, but they didn't expect that there was a stunned young man here who chose to directly antagonize him.
People with ulterior motives, this word is absolutely useless.
I just want to ask if you dare to take your seat?
The economy has already become like this, and William White really doesn't understand.
Is this a means of self-destruction?
Chapter 100Fierce competition
The super order of more than [-] million US dollars once again caused an uproar in the United States.
Now that even fools know it's a good business, what do you let those politicians do?
This is just the first order, and there will be continuous demand in the future. If the market responds well, there may be explosive growth.
Just a game console?
Is there such an exaggerated demand?
This is a question for Wall Street and a question for American society.
Their questions were quickly answered. Both European and footbath customers have needs, and the quantity they need to buy will definitely not be lower than that of the Americans.
Regarding the price and payment method of the order, the foot basin staff had no extra thoughts, and signed the contract very readily.
It is not easy to obtain a production authorization. Although 10% of the sales share is high, it is not too much, but the additional conditions are rather fucked up.
William White's request is that during the cooperation period, the production of the same type of machine is not allowed, and after the cooperation ends, it can only be developed after [-] months.
The foot basin people will start their own stoves sooner or later. William White has already judged this. He just wants to slow down their pace and prevent the fierce competition from coming too fast.
The three companies are indeed a bit of a pain in the ass.
give up?
What are you kidding?Now these orders are nothing at all. This is a business worth more than one billion dollars a year. If they lose this time, the gap between them will further widen.
Develop it yourself?
In less than two years, you don't even have to think about it. When your game is released, it may have been upgraded.
The final agreed result was [-] months, because both parties did not want to procrastinate. There are a lot of dollars on the street, and it is so stupid not to rush to grab them!
Someone said, why do you engage in three companies?This is not going to drive the price down.
This is really not the case. Everyone, including William White, has a tacit agreement on the final retail price, and the fluctuation range will not exceed 5%.
You say this is a monopoly, this is price gouging.
Well, this is true, but do you have proof?
Toyota and Honda are so fierce, is there a big difference in price?
Foot basin people are cunning and cunning. This is the tacit understanding between their industry associations. No company will try to destroy it. Everyone's purpose is to make money, not to fight any price war.
Industry associations in other countries don't care about this, their main job is to organize tourism.The price wars in all countries are outrageous except for the foot basins. The profit of a TV may only be 30 yuan, which will never happen in the foot basins, and they will not destroy the market if they choose to go bankrupt.
The people with painful feet are gone. They need to get the product out as soon as possible and build their own sales channels.
The legendary world began to expand rapidly, and several headhunting companies began to cast their nets everywhere, directly killing Atari with anger.
Good benefits, high remuneration, and option rewards, you can't find such a company in the United States.
Other politicians are babbling. The California government said it doesn’t matter. William White’s business recruits a lot of people. This is of great help to the local economy. You must not offend this young man. A bad man has returned to Texas. Do you think he is here? Houston can't start a company?
A set of dizzying operations directly confused Wall Street. They wanted to ask one thing very much, brother, where did you get the money?
Yeah, where does the money come from?
They soon knew the answer. William White used three games as collateral, and Sumitomo Bank directly gave a credit line of 6000 million dollars.
And there are sources claiming that they planned to give [-] million from the beginning, but William White didn't want it.
According to their calculations, [-] million US dollars is not enough. You have so many orders now, many of which are leased. How do you solve these funding problems?
They quickly had an answer.
Damn, it's production authorization again, this is the behavior of a prodigal son!What is this guy thinking?
