"The battle over the DVD format is no less intense than a financial war!"

"Even to surpass."

"However, they were all losers in the end, because the internet video and streaming websites are on the rise!"

"Sony and Toshiba both suffered losses in the battle between DVD format, but major Hollywood companies made a lot of money and made a fortune."

MGM joined Sony's camp and made a profit of US$470 million;

Warner joined Sony's camp and made a profit of $540 million;

Global joined Toshiba's camp and made a profit of US$610 million;

Disney joins Toshiba's camp and makes a profit of US$760 million;

.........

With a wave of operations, the authorization of the film library alone made a lot of money. In addition, with the sales dividends of DVDs, major film companies made more or less money.

Zhuke was unwilling to miss this extremely easy way to make money.

"Boss, if we intervene now, we will definitely bring extremely generous returns to the company in a few years, while DVD player manufacturing giants such as Sony and Toshiba have not yet begun their copyright acquisition plans."

"Boss, please approve my request!"

After the Japanese Taro Hashimoto finished speaking, he bowed heavily to Zhuke.

What can Zucker do?

Of course I agree with him!

"Taro Hashimoto, I basically agree with your ideas."

Zhuke said in a deep voice: "I will mention this at the recent group meeting, but you must give me a complete plan."

"Yes, boss." Taro Hashimoto was suddenly excited.

Wait until he leaves.

Zhuke couldn't help but sigh.

"Awesome!"

"Everyone in Hollywood is a talented person."

"Taro Hashimoto is not satisfied with the position of the president of SpongeBob SquarePants. He mentioned establishing a family entertainment department and expanding the company's film library, just wanting to go further."

"Hoho, he can't underestimate it!"

Never underestimate a professional manager’s enterprising spirit of climbing upwards!

In fact, the same is true.

The position of the group CEO Victor, who is not staring at the group now?

Donna Langley, Kevin Feige, Alexander and others, who doesn’t want to take over and replace him?!

Even more rampant professional managers want to kick the company boss out of the game, which is not uncommon.

Isn’t that the current internal struggle in Disney?

Disney's Michael Eisner continued to cleanse the Disney family's power and influence in the Disney Group through a series of means. Of course, he failed in the end, but he almost succeeded.

Jobs was once so crazy!

Didn’t you also get kicked out by Apple?

Of course, he has returned to Apple and is in charge of the most important position, but the shares he owns in Apple are pitifully small, only 0.8%.

That's right, less than 1% of the shares!

At this moment, while Zucker appointed Taro Hashimoto, Victor, Donna and others, he would never underestimate their ambitions and should always be wary of them.

"Haha, I'm not helping. As long as Jin Shuguang is not listed at the moment, no one of them will do anything to me." Zhuke's lips raised.

.........

A few days later.

The group's regular meeting in January was held as scheduled.

"My Grand Greek Wedding" is scheduled for February 14, 1999;

"Spartan 300 Warriors" is scheduled for April 7, 1999;

These two projects are the group's key projects recently, and Zhu Ke and others also mentioned them continuously at the regular meeting.

"The last thing, Mr. Taro Hashimoto submitted to me a few days ago the idea of ​​establishing a family entertainment department. You can say anything if you have any opinions." Zhu Ke said with a smile.

The words fell.

The senior executives present whispered to each other.

Walder Pictures President Bill Lao: "I agree. Looking at the major Hollywood companies, which one does not have a strong number of film libraries? Our Walder Pictures now has less than 20 film copyrights, and facing those film companies, we are always inferior."

Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Films: "I also agree that the massive library of movies is not only the company's foundation, but also the guarantee of the company's stable profit."

Domino of Jin Shuguang Music: "I agree too. And not only does the copyright of film and television need to be acquired, but the copyright of our music company must also be expanded."

Donna Lang Lei nodded and said, "I have no reason to object to expanding the film library, which can bring more copyrights for film and television broadcasts to our WB TV and Upn TV networks."

Most of the senior executives of a number of companies agreed with the proposal to set up a family entertainment department.

But!

There is a problem that everyone has to face!

That's money!

Acquisition of a large amount of film and television copyrights requires a considerable amount of money!

"Since that's the case, I decided to raise $100 million from the group account to acquire film and television copyrights and expand the company's film library."

Zhuke looked at Taro Hashimoto again: "I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Hashimoto."

“Yes, boss.”

Taro Hashimoto responded repeatedly.

Although Zhuke doesn't like the Japanese devils, he has to admit that the Japanese devils Taro Hashimoto has a good job, not to mention that this project was the first to propose and made a complete plan.
Chapter completed!
