After signing a contract with Guo Sida in front of the reporter, Xia Tian then signed a contract with Morita Shaofu secretly and transferred half of Columbia Pictures' shares to him.

This is mainly because the image of Fusang people in the United States is really bad now. Because of the Plaza Agreement, the yen appreciates and the US dollar depreciates, because many Fusang merchants have started a global acquisition with banknotes.

In Hawaii, a mysterious Fuso businessman bought 178 high-end homes in one year, which raised the local housing prices by nearly half; in Los Angeles, the rush of Fuso people bought nearly half of the real estate in the downtown area, making the local people have no house to buy; in Hawaii, during the peak tourist season, guests from Fuso occupy hotels and beaches, and snatched away the resort that originally belonged to Americans...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries also acquired the Rockefeller Center, a landmark building in the United States. This building is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York. It was once a symbol of the American people. Its status is approximately equivalent to the pyramids of Egypt, the Colosseum of Rome, and the Stonehenge of Britain. Now this American symbol has been implicated by Fuso merchants, which makes Americans unacceptable and feels it is a great shame.

In addition, Fuso Automobile exports to the United States have squeezed out the American automobile market; Fuso's electronic products exported to the United States have also caused heavy losses to American companies...

Because of these reasons for hatred, the Fusan people today have a very poor image in the eyes of Americans and are almost regarded as invaders. The well-known American media, Newsweek, even claimed that "(Fusan) is a more terrifying threat than the Soviet military force."

Therefore, if Xia Tian dares to blatantly acquire Columbia Pictures with Morita Shaofu, the public opinion pressure will increase several times. Even if Guo Sida is willing to throw Columbia Pictures to him, he will probably have to think twice.

So his agreement with Shaofu Morita was that he would be responsible for the acquisition and then split the shares with Shaofu Morita. At that time, Xia Tian would support Shaofu Morita to serve as chairman, and Shaofu Morita would support Xia Tian as general manager, which is commonly known as CEO (CEO).

...

"Xia Sang, I hope to hold a board meeting as soon as possible and complete the reorganization of the company's senior management as soon as possible." After Morita Shaofu got his own shares, he said to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded, "I agree. Columbia Pictures now lacks a capable head member. Millhouse Mason has limited talents and cannot take on this important task. I also hope to replace someone else."

"Xia Sang, you are the head of the company. Isn't it just right?" Morita Shaofu said with a smile.

"But I still have a lot of business to do in Hong Kong, so I can't stay in the United States for a long time, so I still need someone who can take over my position," Xia Tian explained.

When Shaofu Morita heard this, he nodded in understanding. Although his Sony has a lot of investments in the United States, he will not stay here for a long time. Because Fusang is Sony's focus and the foundation for its fortune, and must not be lost.

"Then have you found a suitable candidate?" Shaofu Morita asked curiously again.

"I'm looking for it. I already have a candidate, but I haven't talked about it yet." Xia Tian smiled.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Shaofu Morita smiled and nodded.

...

Xia Tian then met Lang Meyer.

Long Mayer has long been well accustomed to the new Hollywood giant of Xia Tian. He knows that he is the youngest film giant in history, and that he has only been rising for only three years, which is really amazing.

Therefore, after receiving his invitation, Long Mayer immediately agreed. As the manager of the agency, he is of course extremely eager for big customers like Xia Tian.

"Mr. Xia, this is Mr. Lang Meyer." Michelle introduced with a smile, "Mr. Lang Meyer, this is Mr. Xia."

"Mr. Xia, it's a great honor to see you." Long Mayer said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Mayer, I'm honored to see you, too." Xia Tian also smiled and shook his hands, "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Long Mayer sat down, "Mr. Xia, do you want to cooperate with our CAA this time?"

"No, it's not with CAA, it's working with you." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

Long Mayer was stunned and looked at Xia Tian with some confusion, "I don't understand very much."

"That's right, I want to ask you to be the assistant general manager of our Columbia Pictures." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"…" Long Mayer blinked his eyes and then smiled in surprise, "I heard it right, do you want me to work at Columbia Pictures?"

"Yes, you heard it right, I didn't say it wrong. I really want to invite you to be my assistant." Xia Tian said with a smile, "I just came to Hollywood. I urgently need talents to help me, and I think you are the most suitable candidate."

"Mr. Xia, I am a manager in CAA. There is no reason to give up this position and go to be your little assistant." Long Mayer felt like he was offended.

He is a co-founder or manager at CAA, and is a senior executive. However, when he goes to Columbia Pictures, he can only be an assistant in summer. The so-called "pretending to be a chicken head than a queen" is also very popular in the United States.

"No, you misunderstood." Xia Tian waved his hand, "You should know that I still have business in Hong Kong, so I won't stay in the United States for a long time. In a year, at most half a year is here. When I was here, you were my assistant. When I was away, you were the acting CEO. And the salary and benefits I gave you are all subject to the CEO's standards."

"That's it." Long Mayer's mood suddenly improved a lot when he heard Xia Tian say this. "However, I'm staying well in CAA now and I don't have the idea of ​​changing jobs yet." He declined again.

"To be honest, it's so aggrieved to be a manager at CAA with your talent." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "You should come to Columbia Pictures, this is your stage, and you can maximize your talent."

Although CAA agency is known as the monster of Hollywood, and CAA's head Michael Ovez has been elected as the "most influential person in Hollywood" for three consecutive years, to put it bluntly, CAA is still worse than Hollywood movie giants.

CAA is just an agency after all, while Columbia Pictures is one of the world's largest entertainment companies, with film production companies, drama production companies, theaters, etc.

In other words, CAA is like a farmer of fruits, while Columbia Pictures is like a juice factory. Even if CAA can package and sell all kinds of good and bad fruits to Columbia Pictures to make juice, it just makes money from raw materials. Columbia Pictures can squeeze fruits into juice and sell them all over the world. Whoever makes more money can naturally know at a glance.

In his previous life, CAA once earned 300 million US dollars a year, but a giant like Columbia Pictures earned more than 300 million US dollars in a blockbuster movie.

Long Mayer couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Xia Tian say this.

To be honest, although CAA is now one of the largest agency companies in Hollywood, it is indeed a small one compared to a giant like Columbia Pictures.

If you can join Columbia Pictures and become CEO, it will be much better than being a manager at CAA.

Furthermore, in recent years, Michael Ovez, one of the founders of CAA and the largest shareholder of the company, has also become more and more domineering, which has made Long Mayer have some opinions about him.
