The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Both DC and Marvel are headquartered in New York.

But when Chu Huan decided to acquire the two companies, he had already decided to move the two companies to Los Angeles.

After all, in the future, these two companies will use movies for publicity.

This is why Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan are going to Los Angeles, not only to sign acquisition contracts with Warner Brothers and Cadance Industries, but also to find the headquarters of these two companies in Los Angeles.

So at this time, when Terrence Stahan asked him to inspect two comic companies, Chu Huan agreed after a brief thought: "Yes!"

Now that these two companies have been acquired, it is natural to make a public appearance.

Seeing that Chu Huan had agreed, Terence Stahan went to arrange the matter.

Regardless of the real power of DC or Marvel, we still have to wait, so what Chu Huan has to do at this time is actually to take them under his command first, and the latter things need to develop slowly.

Moreover, Chu Huan's current attention is still on the matter of Ford Motor, so he will not make any new development plans for these two companies for the time being.

After Terrence Stahan left, Chu Huan continued to sit at the headquarters of the North American armor library and participated in the acquisition of Ford Motor's shares.

.

However, Chu Huan wanted to concentrate on acquiring Ford Motor shares, but the reality did not make Chu Huan so happy, because the "Wall Street Journal" once again published news about the Fantasy Comic Club.

"Xiangjiang Fantasy Comics Club strikes again, acquiring Marvel Comics, and the North American comics industry has been captured by the East!" ’--The Wall Street Journal

"The Wall Street Journal" has an obviously provocative headline, which instantly caused a sensation in the North American comic circle. Most importantly, as this report was reprinted by other newspapers in North America, it quickly caused a sensation in the hearts of North American comic fans. .

Tangtang North America's two major comic companies were acquired by Xiangjiang's Fantasy Comic Club, which was emotionally unacceptable to them.

In addition, the "Wall Street Journal" also provocatively described how a comic company from the East could understand the cultural attributes of North American comics.

The "Wall Street Journal" claimed in the report that the reason why Fantasy Comics wanted to acquire DC and Marvel was just to make the comics of these two companies disappear slowly, and then make the entire North America completely become the world of "Fantasy Comics".

At the same time, in the report, the "Wall Street Journal" also mentioned the other two comics "Jianghu Comics" and "Kunlun Comics" by Fantasy Comics, implying that this is actually a cultural invasion!

With such a description, it is naturally more unacceptable to North American comic fans.

So this is what happened in New York.

Comic fans from the two comic companies of DC and Marvel began to gather and went to DC and Marvel headquarters to protest!

Headquarters of North America.

Chu Huan once again held a headquarters meeting. David Maxwell, general manager of North America First Library, Jiang Zishan, deputy general manager, Kang Qingyang, general manager of North American Fantasy Comics, Terrence Stahan, deputy general manager, and general manager of Black and White Media North America were present. Ruan Jin, Deputy General Manager Joey Farrell.

"Let's talk about the current situation first!"

Even if Chu Huan wanted to concentrate on buying Ford Motor stock, the current situation had to force Chu Huan to devote part of his mind to solving the DC and Marvel issues first.

Jiang Zishan took the lead in speaking: "Chairman, now many authoritative media newspapers in North America have sent applications to the company, wanting to invite you for an exclusive interview.

This includes newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Business Journal. "

These newspapers sent invitations to Chu Huan for an interview, not only because Fantasy Comics had acquired DC, Marvel, but also because Qingjin Clothing had acquired Nike. The most important reason was that the war between Chu Huan and South Korea’s Hyundai Group had spread to North America. , which appeared first on The Wall Street Journal.

Previously, the "Wall Street Journal" not only reported that Fantasy Comics had acquired Marvel again, but also wrote about the grievances between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group in a more prominent place.

Ordinary North American newspapers focus on the acquisition of DC and Marvel by Fantasy Comics, but in the eyes of most business people, they want to see how the grievance between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group will proceed.

After all, these two companies are the top consortiums in Asia.

Chu Huan waved his hands and said, "Unity refuses, they want to watch the excitement, there is no need for us to take the initiative to join in."

Chu Huan didn't care about such an exclusive interview.

Ruan Jin said: "Chairman, our company has found a record company suitable for acquisition, but the other party is not in North America, but a European record company, but the other party also has a subsidiary company Mercury Records in North America. Not only that, they are in other There are also branches in the region, and it is a very strong record company!"

Chu Huan asked, "Which company is it?"

Ruan Jin said: "Polygram Records is headquartered in London!"

Polygram?

Chu Huan did not expect that Ruan Jin and the others fell in love with this Polygram Records, which has a very high status in the hearts of many music fans in later generations.

If there is no Chu Huan, no one can ignore the brilliance of PolyGram, let alone Europe and the United States, and no one can ignore the brilliance of PolyGram. Tan Yonglin, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, Chen Huixian, Tang Baoru, Zhou Huimin, etc. were all signed singers of PolyGram.

By the way, Xu Guanjie was also a signed singer of Polygram.

The purpose of acquiring a record company is to improve the media group in his hands, and it is also to make it easier for these singers to speak for other brands in the future.

So although Polygram Records was very good and powerful, Chu Huan didn't care too much about it.

"Okay, let the two of you handle this matter. Remember, I only want the result, not the process!"

Appropriate decentralization is absolutely necessary. Although he has been in North America for a while, Chu Huan will not really put his focus on North America as reported by the "Wall Street Journal".

Chu Huan's current base is in Xiangjiang, and the future base will be his hometown. North America will always be a branch, so Ruan Jin and Joey Farrell are going to do this.

"clear."

"How is the acquisition of theaters going?" Chu Huan was more concerned about Black \u0026 White Media's layout in North American theaters than the record company.

Ruan Jin said confidently: "The talk is almost over, I believe there will be results in a few days."

This is the advantage of being rich. With sufficient financial support and the cooperation of a professional negotiation team, in the end, these industries that Chu Huan is interested in now are not considered core industries in North America, so I want to acquire them. It's not difficult.

David Maxwell said to Chu Huan: "Chairman, there has been a major breakthrough in the acquisition of HBO agreed with Charles Duran. I believe that the acquisition with the other party will be completed in the near future!"

David Maxwell's first job as the general manager of North America was to be responsible for the acquisition of HBO. For this, Chu Huan also delegated power to him and let him be in charge of the whole thing.

"However, there are too many things about the company in North America right now. I wonder if this news should be delayed?"

David Maxwell suggested to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan didn't want to stimulate the sensitive nerves of North Americans too much, so he just thought about it briefly and said, "Yes!"

After briefly going through these routine things, David Maxwell began to talk to Chu Huan about the temporary incidents that are happening now.

North American comic fans protest against the acquisition of DC by Fantasy Comics, Marvel!

"Chairman, this matter must not be underestimated. In addition to the protests of these comic fans, I also noticed that some media are fueling the flames. It is obvious that they want to make this matter bigger. If this matter cannot be obtained Stop it in time, I am worried that as the influence grows, it will cause the official end, then it will be troublesome at that time!"

Although Chu Huan looked down on these behaviors of protesting at every turn, he also understood that what David Maxwell said was reasonable. After thinking about it for a while, Teren Stahan said to Kang Qingyang: "The two companies will also issue a statement first. , indicating that the company has full respect for the history of these two companies.

At the same time, it will not change the development plans of these two companies at will. "

Kang Qingyang, Teren Stahan nodded and said: "Yes."

However, Chu Huan also knew that such a statement was only the most basic operation, so after explaining his suggestion, Chu Huan asked the two of them.

"Besides this, do you have any other ideas?"

Kang Qingyang and Teren Stahan exchanged glances, and Teren Stahan spoke.

"Chairman, we think that in the name of Fantasy Comic Club, we should hold a joint comic exhibition for the comic fans of these two comic companies, call all the comic fans of the two companies in North America to participate, and arrange a lottery at the same time. Some award-winning comic fans design fan characters in comics, etc., thereby increasing our company's status in the minds of these comic fans."

Kang Qingyang also said: "At the same time at the comic exhibition, we can also hold a voting event, let the comic fans of the two companies vote for their favorite comic characters, and then release these two characters into animation!"

Just like the delegation of authority to Ruan Jin and Joey Farrell before, Chu Huan also directly delegated this matter to the two of them after listening to the advice of Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan.

Then everyone started to discuss the details.

After discussing all the matters, this meeting is considered to be over.

.

Harold Cooper is a senior DC fan, and his favorite is Batman.

At this time, Harold Cooper, wearing Batman's suit and many DC fans, gathered at the DC headquarters, holding up a flag in protest.

"DC belongs to North America, not Xiangjiang!"

"Give us back the DC!"

"Don't tarnish our beloved DC!"

Different people held different slogans and shouted in disorder.

There are North American policemen around to maintain order, but they are only ensuring that there will be no riots. Of course, if there is a riot, whether these North American policemen will really take action, only their God knows.

At the same time, there are still a lot of media following up and reporting.

Just when the order at the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Teren Stahan walked out with some high-level executives from the DC company.

At the same time, there are quite a few bodyguards. In fact, Talen Stahan and the others don't trust North American scouts either.

People protesting at the scene, people who saw DC came out, and the situation on the scene became even more commotion.

But fortunately, there wasn't really much confusion. This is actually due to the fact that information transmission in this era is not as exaggerated as in later generations.

In this era, there are no computers or smart phones, and naturally there are no various social software, so there is no way to gather more people with ulterior motives here.

Under the guard of bodyguards and company executives, Terrence Stahan stood at the gate of the company with a smile on his face and a loudspeaker in his hand, ensuring that everyone at the scene could hear his voice.

"First of all, the company is very grateful to everyone for your love for our company. In order to better give back to readers, the company has specially decided to hold a grand DC comics exhibition in Los Angeles. At that time, the company will invite Hollywood stars to cosplay all the characters in the comics with you. .”

Terrence Stahan did not explain too much about the acquisition of DC by Fantasy Comics, but instead put the main content of this conversation on the upcoming comic exhibition.

In their discussion with Chu Huan yesterday, the initial discussion was to let DC and Marvel jointly hold a comic exhibition, but they thought that the fans of the two companies might have some unfriendly behaviors, so after a long After deliberation, it was decided to separate two different places and hold comic exhibitions separately.

At the same time, during the detailed discussion, we also talked about how to increase the influence of this comic exhibition, and finally decided to invite Hollywood movie stars to cosplay the characters in the comics.

Although this will greatly increase the cost of the comic exhibition, it can also better promote the comics.

"In addition, at this comic convention, our company will also announce investment in the shooting of a feature-length animation featuring superheroes from DC comics. As for which superhero to choose, the company will set up a voting session at the comic convention. , the superheroes with the most votes will launch their own cartoons."

When Harold Cooper heard that DC was going to launch a fan animation, he subconsciously shouted: "I want Batman animation!"

After yelling, Harold Cooper realized that he had come to protest. How could he be so fallen now?

Terrence Stahan obviously heard what Harold Cooper said, and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you can mobilize more friends to vote for Batman, as long as he can get the highest number of votes, he will naturally Become the first cartoon released by DC!

Not only that, in the future, our DC will also launch other superhero cartoons one after another.”

Under the introduction of Teren Stahan, the voice of the protest on the scene was obviously much quieter.

Then Harold Cooper released another blockbuster.

"In addition, in order to thank you for your support to DC for so many years, our company will also launch a lottery at this comic exhibition. Create a superhero based on one lucky guy, male or female, young or old.”

Wow! ! ! ! !

This announcement can be said to directly ignite the atmosphere at the scene.

Who doesn't want to be the protagonist in the comics they often read. I like to read these superhero comics, don't I just hope that I can have the super powers of those superheroes?

Now there is such an opportunity?

It was also because of this announcement that there were no more voices of protest at the scene, and only cheers remained.

These protesters are still pure.

With these things as a foreshadowing, the rest of Teren Stahan's announcement seems much more natural.

For example, it is very simple to participate in the comics exhibition. You only need to go to the Toys R Us Youth City in your local city to get the registration form. At the same time, you must wear a superhero uniform when participating in the comics exhibition.

It seems that this is just a simple registration condition.

But in fact, this has brought huge profits to youth toys as well as DC.

Because in the future, Toys R Us for youth in North America will launch large-scale DC and Marvel-themed activities, mainly promoting the peripheral toys of these two major comic companies. Of course, these toys also include various superhero uniforms.

How could a veteran DC comics fan resist buying his hands after seeing such a situation!

It is obviously too late to let the youth toy factory produce it now, so it can only be produced from the former partners of the two major comic companies.

But after this incident is over, Youth Toy Factory will gradually take back the production rights around the two major comic companies.

Continue to maintain the closed-loop operation of the comic company under Chu Huan's name.

Protests naturally ceased to exist.

Not only DC, but also Marvel.

But this also indirectly caused another heated discussion, that is, the fans of the two comic companies began to argue about what kind of movie star should be invited to play their superhero.

From the discussion at the beginning, at the end, someone suddenly discovered that someone actually chose the same movie star to cosplay two superheroes from different companies.

So the discussion turned into an argument, even a quarrel.

All of a sudden, this incident appeared in some gossip magazines and newspapers in North America, becoming an entertainment phenomenon in North America.

Naturally, the popularity of this comic exhibition has been raised several levels.

After discovering such a problem, Kang Qingyang and Terrence Stahan immediately decided to add fuel to the controversy after discussing it.

As a result, the activities of the two major comic exhibitions have successfully gone out of the circle.

It was no longer just spread in the comic circle, but also many passers-by participated, such as fans of various movie stars, and some simple people who eat melons.

Immediately afterwards, the two comic companies immediately contacted some Hollywood stars and asked them to express their love for certain superheroes in public.

Hollywood golden boy Robert Rayford declared himself a big fan of Captain North America in an interview.

Al Pacino, who starred in the "Godfather" series, declared himself a fan of Batman.

Alan Arkin, who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, said he likes Superman very much.

Every Hollywood star who gets paid by a fantasy comic book club is starting to claim to be a fan of one of the DC or Marvel superheroes.

This event, under such a publicity operation, has become more and more influential, and finally became a hot topic in the United States.

In such an environment, the most intuitive performance is that the sales of comics and peripherals of DC and Marvel have repeatedly hit new highs.

Chu Huan made a lot of money here, sold DC, Marvel's Warner Bros., and Cadence Industries, but passed out crying in the toilet.

.

The Wall Street Journal!

Warren Philip listened with a gloomy expression to Jack O'Brien talking about how the protests at the gates of the two comic companies were resolved.

In the beginning, Warren Phillips never paid attention to Chu Huan, even though Chu Huan was the richest man in Xiangjiang and the richest Chinese.

But Chu Huan's influence is in Xiangjiang and in Asia. Although his business is quite big in Europe and America, his influence in Europe and America is not that great.

It's just that as my side was crushed by Chu Huan one after another, the disgust and importance in my heart finally came up.

People who thought they could handle it easily, now it is not like this at all, how could it make Warren Phillips happy!

"Is there no way to make this Chu Huan feel ugly?"

Jack O'Brien said: "Boss, the main reason is that we know too little about Chu Huan now. I think we should wait and see what happens now, and wait for our people to investigate clearly before targeting him!"

In fact, the fundamental reason is that Warren Phillips and Jack O'Brien both understand that their "Wall Street Journal" does have the ability to guide public opinion.

But this is more about financial or listed companies based in North America, or even New York, and what is Chu Huan's business in North America?

Clothing, movies, animation, games, any one of them is different from the direction they are good at. The audience of these industries is not the same group as the readership of "Wall Street Journal".

In other words, their influence on Chu Huan's business can be said to be very weak.

Hearing what Jack O'Brien said, Warren Phillips understood that it could only be like this.

However, Warren Phillips definitely wouldn't just admit defeat so easily, so after agreeing with Jack O'Brien's suggestion, he still urged.

"Don't forget to pay attention to Chu Huan's business in North America. As long as we think about it, we will definitely find a way!"

Jack O'Brien nodded.

After solving the troubles of DC and Marvel, Chu Huan refocused on the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.

For this reason, Chu Huan specially met with the presidents of North American Chase Bank and First Boston Bank.

Unlike the "Wall Street Journal", the presidents of these two banks would never underestimate Chu Huan. Both sides happily agreed to Chu Huan's invitation and met with Chu Huan respectively.

After learning about Chu Huan's request for a loan, he naturally had no opinion.

They even hoped that Chu Huan could borrow more.

They didn't have the slightest doubt about Chu Huan's repayment ability.

Even when they met for the first time, they expressed that they could prepare all the loan matters for Chu Huan immediately, but Chu Huan refused. Chu Huan just needed to let their funds be used as a backup. Say it.

For such a result, both of them expressed some regrets, but there was nothing they could do.

In the face of big customers, they need to show their respect.

After the interview with the presidents of the two major banks, Chu Huan came to KKR again. In the past few days, Chu Huan was distracted by the comic company. KKR has been responsible for the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.

"Now that we have negotiated with them, all that remains is to sign the stock sale contract!"

Jerry Kohlberg preached to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan nodded and said, "One billion dollars has been credited to the company's account, so we can proceed!"

Jerry Kohlberg reminded Chu Huan: "If this acquisition is completed, then we will be exposed, and then there will be no way to continue such secret operations!"

Chu Huan nodded, and said, "I never thought of doing it secretly. I want the whole of North America to know about it."

Jerry Kohlberg said: "If that's the case, we don't have any problems on our side!"

.

South Korea, Seoul, Gangnam District, inside Zheng Zhouyong's manor!

"Is there any action from Chu Huan?"

In Jung Joo-young's study, Jung Joo-young asked his younger brother Jeong Se-young.

"No, there is no movement at all!" Zheng Shiyong shook his head, and then smiled: "I think it is what you guessed, brother. Chu Huan's so-called declaration of war is just a joke. He has no ability to report to our company. Declare war."

Zheng Zhouyong showed a satisfied smile, and said: "It seems that he wants to deal with this matter coldly!"

"It should be like this!" Zheng Shiyong also said with a smile.

This incident, until now, has no influence on Hyundai Group except that Zheng Mengzhun was beaten twice.

But Chu Huan's Jiaku series has lost the South Korean market.

The two brothers Zheng Zhouyong and Zheng Shiyong naturally had reason to be happy.

"Now this matter is not something that he can handle coldly if he wants to!" After being happy, Zheng Zhouyong said coldly: "Immediately arrange for our people in Xiangjiang to notify Xiangjiang's "Oriental Daily" and "South China Morning Post" I want to see how Chu Huan can restore his reputation by announcing Chu Huan's inaction."

Zheng Shiyong reminded: "It's just that the two newspapers in Xiangjiang are now seeking Chu Huan's forgiveness for the previous report. Now let them publish such content, will they do it?"

Zheng Zhouyong said with a smile: "Didn't you say before that Chu Huan did not forgive those two newspapers, since he did not forgive, the two newspapers should not be afraid of anything anymore."

Zheng Shiyong nodded and said, "Understood!"

Zheng Zhouyong continued: "You have to remember that our purpose is to let Chu Huan take the initiative to beg us, so at this stage, we must not let Chu Huan let this matter go!"

Zheng Shiyong said: "I will let our people in Xiangjiang donate part of the funds to those two newspapers!"

"good!"

After talking about Chu Huan, Zheng Shiyong, who is in charge of Hyundai Motor, said to Zheng Zhouyong: "Brother, the news just came from Ford Motor that they are not willing to accept our technicians to study with them, and at the same time they are against us. Learn from Japan's Mitsubishi!"

At the beginning of the establishment of Hyundai Motor, in order to obtain North American automobile technology, it chose a joint venture with Ford Motor, but as Japanese automobiles began to capture the North American market, Zheng Zhouyong and Zheng Shiyong also began to set their sights on Japanese automobile companies. Want to learn from them.

And their goal is Japan's Mitsubishi!

When Zheng Zhouyong heard Ford's request, the pride on his face disappeared, and he said helplessly: "You fly to North America yourself, go to meet with Ford II, and try to get their consent. Now the global oil price is getting higher and higher. Unstable, Japan's low fuel consumption cars are our main direction of attack in the future!"

"clear!"
