Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 841 The powerful backstage behind Warner

   Whitehead and Weinberg were surprised by Yang Chen's sudden visit, but they were more than happy.

  After the release of the home phone sales feedback news, after media publicity, the stock price of Orange Technology rose all the way, pushing the market value of Orange Technology to nearly 40 billion US dollars in just two days.

   At this time, all investors believe that it is absolutely appropriate for the market value of Orange Technology to exceed the 40 billion mark, and it is even possible to further reach the market value of 50 billion US dollars.

Although the market value of    is less than half of the peak of Nintendo in later generations, it is definitely a suffocating high market value at the moment.

   In this case, Yang Chen's worth has risen along with the tide, so there is no need to say more about the attitude of the two towards Yang Chen.

   Regarding Whitehead and Weinberg, Yang Chen did not hide his worries at all. He is now the private majority shareholder of Goldman Sachs Group.

   Therefore, when Yang Chen expressed his worries, the joy on the faces of the two disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by a solemn look.

   After a long time, Whitehead said, "Yang, do you have any good attention?"

  Yang Chen: "You said, if I buy Atari in the next step, will Warner Movies be willing?"

   Weinberg and Whitehead looked at each other, and both read a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. They obviously didn't expect Yang Chen to have the idea of ​​acquiring Atari.

However, if you think about it carefully, with the current strength of Orange Technology, it is not impossible to acquire Atari. Now Atari is facing a very serious situation. In the face of the raging anger of players, if it is not handled properly, Atari will go bankrupt. It's just a matter of day and night.

  Winberg: "The opportunity is there, it depends on your willingness."

Hearing Weinberg's words, Yang Chen smiled and said, "This time I plan to sell another 19% of the shares of Orange Technology, leaving 51% of the shares and retain the controlling position of Orange Technology. ."

   "However, the shares sold this time, I do not intend to let them flow into the hands of ordinary investors, I hope Goldman Sachs Group can take this opportunity to help me build a strong umbrella in the United States."

Whitehead couldn't help but said: "Yang, as you are now, if you are willing to become an American citizen, I believe that whether it is the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, they will actively welcome you and support your Orange Technology Company. , providing maximum protection.”

   "Of course I know this, but you should know that my roots are actually in Hong Kong, in Asia, and within the sphere of influence of the British."

   "Although I am very optimistic about the U.S. economy, there is one thing that I believe both of you are clear about. Whether the U.S. is a lower class or an elite class, they are not completely accepting and tolerant of Chinese origin."

"Listen to me, the two of you." Seeing that the two of them heard this and wanted to explain something, Yang Chen raised his hand and smiled and said, "For the American market, no capital will miss it, and the same goes for me. In the future, our cooperation will only increase, not decrease."

   "As a Chinese, my roots can only be in Asia, and where is more suitable for my development..."

   Seeing that Yang Chen's attention has been set, Whitehead and Weinberg looked at each other and nodded helplessly: "Okay, Yang, we respect your decision."

   "For Warner Movies, Young, do you have any thoughts?"

   Yang Chen crossed Erlang's legs and said, "I'm a businessman, all decisions made by businessmen are just for profit, I believe Warner Movies and I have the same idea, I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings with them.

  The reason why Atari has today's results is not caused by me, or the Orange Technology Company. All this is caused by Atari itself, and no one else has anything to do with it.

  I believe that even without Orange Technology and without me, everything that happened at Atari today will happen in a normal and orderly manner, which cannot be changed by anyone. "

"And, I think, more people, as well as the US government, should thank me. If it weren't for me and my orange technology company, the US game market, I am afraid that the influence of Atari will make this emerging industry. devastated."

   "This is not an alarmist. You two might think about it, if there is no Orange Technology, what would they do with the anger of American players against Atari?"

   "Everyone will boycott Atari, those game companies that take them for fools, and maybe even mobilize the whole society to boycott games with the help of the media that fears that the world will not be chaotic."

   "In this way, an emerging industry that can directly bring tens of billions of dollars or even higher economic effects to the United States will be obliterated..."

   Yang Chen wanted to acquire Atari, in addition to thinking about the professional and technical talents within Atari, he also wanted to reconcile with Warner Bros.

   Yes, that is reconciliation.

   As for the reason

   is simple

   The backer behind Warner's movies is too strong.

   How strong is the Warners movie background?

   What do you think of the President of the United States?

   That's right, it's the current president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, who is the biggest backstage at Warner Bros.

   And Warner Films was the early 'boss' of President Reagan.

  Yes, that's right, the boss.

   Born in 1911, the current President Ronald Wilson Reagan served as a sports broadcaster for WOC Radio and WHO Radio in Iowa in the early days.

   In 1937, at the age of twenty-six, Reagan auditioned for the film "Philadelphia Story," and later received a seven-year, one-year probationary contract from Warner Bros.

   It was this contract that kicked off Reagan's early acting career.

  During his cooperation with Warner, Reagan was greatly cultivated by Warner and appeared in nearly fifty films in his lifetime.

   Even after World War II broke out, President Reagan was called into the army and served in the Air Force, but after the war, Reagan, who retired with the rank of lieutenant, returned to Hollywood again and continued to maintain a close cooperative relationship with Warner Films.

   With his influence in the film industry, Reagan left the film industry in the 1960s and began his political career.

   From being re-elected as governor of California twice to becoming the current president, Reagan can vaguely see the shadow of Warner Movies behind him.

   As a media organization, Warner Films has helped Reagan a lot. No matter where it is, even if it is just a simple interest relationship, everyone always pays attention to reciprocation.

Founded in 1918,   Warner Films is the third oldest film company in the United States, and its influence in the United States is very large.

   Especially now that President Reagan is in office, this has given Warner Films a lot of support in the government.
