.

Xiao Qiang was not arrogant yet, thinking that he could turn around the Western world's impression of the entire China by relying on his own efforts.

It’s not a day when the ice is frozen three feet long.

If he can use this little trick alone to make European and American people disdain China and become fanatical, then he is a god, not a human.

The image of a country ultimately depends on its economic strength, military strength, cultural influence, and scientific and technological level. Only when these things are combined can they become the comprehensive strength of the country.

If a country itself is not strong, the world will only be ridiculed by the West if it blows through the sky.

The reason why he wanted to do thankless things was forced to do. He was forced to be happy that the country was gradually becoming stronger. He wanted to regain national confidence and vigorously promoted the "Chinese standards" and aroused the vigilance of the West: he was a filmmaker who tried to vilify what China did. He forced him to take disinfection measures in order to a certain extent, to eliminate the distorted perspective of Europe and the United States on China.

As for the future, it will become a long-term project for more than ten years, it is beyond Xiao Qiang's expectations.

Xiao Qiang's initial idea was to use culture to culture, to use Chinese cuisine food culture, to fight against the ugly propaganda in movie propaganda, and to carry out reverse propaganda. He did not ask how much good Europe and the United States could have towards China, but only wanted the other party not to continue to deepen this prejudice.

He watched the Universal Company, which he had formed by his hard work, grow step by step. Through changes in the domestic and international situation, he gradually realized that rather than doing a high-tech industry, he was engaged in a far-reaching humanities project.

Originally, in the field of high-tech, the technical standards of whoever has advanced technology will be adopted. This should be said to be the fairest competition.

But in fact, in this field, there has never been such a thing.

All kinds of complex relationships such as politics, nation, country, group, etc. are intertwined. If you think that your skills are good, you should enjoy the treatment of a leader, that would be a big mistake.

Xiao Qiang understood that his CVD was not excellent in optical storage technology. But he did not attempt to use CVD to unify the world CD market. He just wanted to use CVD to replace the role of the original video recorder and find a market position for CVD.

This is just such a simple idea, which has been jointly intercepted by international electrical appliance manufacturers.

Hollywood does not release movies. Other production companies in Europe and the United States will not support them. Without their movie and video library, cvd should not be sold, and it will be thrown on the roadside. No one will pick up a useless garbage to go home.

Xiao Qiang once placed his hopes on Sony and Panasonic. Qiyi relied on his good reputation in Japan to let Sony's Columbia Company, a subsidiary of Sony, privately owned Universal Pictures, authorize the resources in the film library. Panasonic's film library is relatively small and nothing. Sony's Columbia Company is a veteran film company with a history of decades, with copyrights of 5,000 movies and more than 8,000 TV series.

As long as you can authorize the publication of cvd discs.cvd sales, you can open immediately.

However, Sony and Panasonic did not hesitate to refuse without hesitation.

They are also one of the makers of the new generation of DVD standards. How can they provide shells to possible enemies?

It seems that movies, TVs and CD players are not at all involved, but they just jammed the path of CD discs, and CVD lost the most important motivation to explore the European and American markets.

If cvd is compared to a computer and a disc to software, then how can a computer without software support be accepted by the market!

Hollywood used its strong position in the world's film and television field to stage a classic blocking war, attempting to use humanistic influence to kill the fledgling cvd into the cradle.

Not to mention that CVD's technology is not advanced. Even if it is one hundred times more advanced, if it does not break the ban on European and American film and television companies such as Hollywood, it will still return with hatred.

From this, Xiao Qiang deeply realized that the first step for him to participate in the formulation of DVD standards is to break through the humanistic suppression of Europe and the United States.

If this is not achieved, the next generation of optical reading technology in Universal will also suffer the same fate as CVD.

Xiao Qiang doesn’t believe in this evil, he doesn’t believe in this. He can’t break this vicious circle.

He decided to go to the United States to negotiate the supply location of the film library. After all, the United States is still a country that claims to be a free competition, and now it needs China to help it establish a blockade network to curb the Soviet Union. Everyone still needs to maintain superficial cooperation.

Before leaving, he specifically explained to Austin and Lin Yi for a long time.

Regardless of whether the trip to the United States is going well or not, the project they are responsible for will be another way out of the siege.

On August 21, Xiao Qiang came to Hollywood.

The term Hollywood is now a well-known name in the world, and it has almost become synonymous with American movies.

It is located in the northwest of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States. In 1886, it was still a piece of farmland. Later, a real estate businessman bought 0.6 kilometers of land here and built a small land estate.

The real estate businessman's wife, on a trip, heard a companion say that she was from Hollywood. In English, Hollywood refers to the Holly Woods.

The real estate developer’s wife liked this name very much as soon as she heard it.

When she returned home, she bought many holly trees from Scotland, planted them here, and asked her husband to name the farmhouse Hollywood. From then on, the name Hollywood was born.

However, because they are not adapted to the climate of California, most of these holly trees have not lived for a long time.

As a result, Hollywood became a "holly forest" without holly trees

In 1907, the crew of "The Earl of Monte Cristo" filmed a movie in Los Angeles. They found that the scenery here is beautiful, with sufficient light and suitable climate, which is a good place to shoot movies. So, after the filming of the movie, they decided to find a place nearby as the base for filming.

In this way, the small town of Hollywood, hospitality, has since come into the sight of American film companies.

As more and more film companies were seeing Hollywood filming, the first film company was established in Hollywood in 19th.

Since then, film companies have been constantly coming to Hollywood to settle down. By 1923, today it has become a symbol of Hollywood. It is a white Hollywood icon, which has become a symbol of Hollywood. It is standing on the hillside behind Hollywood.

Xiao Qiang came to Hollywood and went directly to the headquarters of MiGome Company.

Speaking of MGM, the roaring lion avatar at the beginning of the movie left a deep impression on those who have seen it. When it was first established, it had only one word "mi", which means Mitro Film Production Company. Later, in order to get rid of the crisis, the boss acquired Gordwyn Film Production Company. In order to find an excellent general manager, he found Louis Meyer, the boss of a small film company.

From then on, the merger of Sanhan Film Production Company, Mitro "Godwin" Meyer, established a new mgm film company.

Decades of development. MGM has accumulated a huge number of 5,000 movies and 10,000 TV series.

Moreover, due to its long-standing establishment, its video library can also be said to be the most complete movie library in the world.

Among them, there are a series of commendable masterpieces such as the famous Terminator, the Beautiful Law, the Broken Blue Bridge, and the Gone with the Wind. It also created a series of animated films of cats and mice, and initiated the establishment of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. The Academy Award (Oscar), which is now the world-renowned one. It was the first to propose the launch.

Such an old-fashioned film empire also has a brand series that has stood for less than decades.

The image of Agent Zero 7 has long become another title of modern Agent after decades of interpretation by MGM. Originally, with the ease of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Oct 7 series will also go down from the historical stage.

Who knew that the hatred formed in the Gulf War caused the United States and the Soviet Union to get into evil again. While the United States encircled and blocked the Soviet Union, it also vilified and mocked the Soviet Union in the movie.

Therefore, the old LG7 series has entered the American local movie screen again. MGM also claimed that it is filming a new LG7 movie, which will be launched soon.

Xiao Qiang found MGM not only because he was attracted by its huge movie library, but also because MGM is currently in trouble and has suffered losses.

Since MGM was bought by the American gambling tycoon in 1970, the boss has not been operating a film company. He continues to pay attention to his casino and hotel industries, and is willing to let MGM go.

Since then, MGM has gone further and further from the movie.

The boss also felt heartbroken when he saw the film company losing money. What’s more funny is that he sold MGM twice and bought MGM twice.

Replacing bosses so frequently has caused the company's people to be distracted and its performance has plummeted.

Xiao Qiang thought about it all over the place. Only MGM, who was in trouble, was the best way for him to obtain film sources.

Before he came to the United States, he had already made an appointment in advance. This time, the other party welcomed him in a high-profile manner. The company's senior staff came downstairs to greet him.

Xiao Qiang is also a very famous technology tycoon in the United States. Although everyone knows his purpose and has his own plans, no one will neglect him.

In the conference room, Xiao Qiang unexpectedly met MGM's boss, Las Vegas gambling king, and super billionaire Kelcoris.

Kelcoris is seventy years old this year. Although he is a little old, he still looks red and his eyes are sly.

He saw Xiao Qiang come in, stood up from the leather chair with difficulty, and extended his hand to Xiao Qiang with a smile: "Welcome, a young Chinese rich man."

Xiao Qiang held his hand, and the skin on the other party's hand was not loose, and it was a little wet on his palm. Obviously, his body functions were very healthy, and he could talk for at least ten or twenty years!

So, he made an old look, trying to create an illusion?

Xiao Qiang smiled slightly, held his hand and said, "Compared to your billions of dollars in net worth, my little property is not worth mentioning!"

"Hahahaha, young man, you are too modest to speak." Kelcorion looked at Xiao Qiang with a smile, as if he was looking at a sweet cake. "We have estimated your net assets in the company for a long time. It is at least 2 billion US dollars. If you count your status in the LCD industry and the added value of the operating software, it is not an exaggeration to calculate it in four billion US dollars. Compared to you, I am a beggar!"

Xiao Qiang's heart twitched slightly, and his face remained unchanged.

It’s not been a day or two for the welcome company to be exposed. It’s easy for those who are interested to calculate the welcome net assets.

However, they didn't know that Bai Ji had an arms business in secret and cheated a lot of money through Saddam. So even if he counted his net assets, Xiao Qiang had 50 or 60 billion US dollars.

However, since Kerkorith has pointed out that his wealth seems to be a bad person.

The two sat side by side, and the translator sat behind them. The translator could be translated at the same time.

The language is not clear, and the two of them are joking around. From the situation in the Gulf to the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, they talked a little about the current economic trend. No one has reached the point.

After talking for about half an hour, Kelcoris smiled and said, "It's a pleasant time to chat with you, and some of your insights are very innovative. But I'm old and the doctor asked me to rest more, so I can't stay with you."

He stood up with the help of others and was about to leave.

Xiao Qiang smiled secretly. The old guy was energetic, looking at his eyes full of energy. He was saying that he was sleepy. He wanted to force him to express his intentions. Being able to chat with him for so long means that the other party also had thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know what the abacus was like in his heart.

He stood up with a smile and said, "Originally, I heard that there was something wrong with your company's business and wanted to do a writing business with Mr. Kerkorien. Since you are tired, we can talk about it another day."

"Do you do business? Do you want to buy MGM?" Kelcorion left without saying a word, standing tremblingly, and said with a smile on his eyes.

Xiao Qiang said, "Haha. I can't afford MGM. Even if you want to sell it, the offer will probably be as high as 3 billion US dollars, right? I can't get such a large amount of money."

Kelcorion also laughed: "How can three billion dollars be enough! Panasonic spent 6.1 billion dollars for a small company like Global. I just want to buy MGM, and no matter what, I have to sell 5 billion dollars to make up for it."

Xiao Qiang sneered in his heart, 5 billion US dollars!

Except for Japanese nouveau riche who pays money randomly, who is willing to spend $5 billion to buy your broken company? I don’t know how to operate movies, so I will lose a lot of money when I buy it. Will you buy it at a low price when the company’s stocks fall?

Kelcorion looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you think my offer is high? Yes. If someone else comes to buy it, the company will definitely not be worth so much. But you are different. You need our company's movie library to promote your Chinese video player. In the future, you will also need to rely on our company's position in Hollywood to squeeze into the ranks of the ranks of the maker of DVD video standards. So, this offer is the price you have to enter! And, if I didn't really want to run a film company, you wouldn't be able to get through this threshold even if you spend billions of dollars."

He probably wasn't interested in Xiao Qiangdou anymore. He said this nakedly and pointed directly at the original point.

In the current international electrical appliance market, the industrialization standards for each project have almost been formulated, and they are controlled by old-fashioned electrical appliance groups, and there is no room for welcome to intervene.

In terms of software, welcome emerged and caught Microsoft off guard.

However, the upgrade of operating software is very fast. As long as other software companies develop and design a model that is now viewwww.piaotian.com.com    If he wants to truly establish a long-term position in a certain field, he must start from the initial low-end technology and monopolize all technical standards of the industry. Just like he once did in the LCD industry, he defeated Japanese electrical appliance companies at the beginning of commercialization. After transferring and receiving their technology, he integrated it and took every low-end LCD patent in his hands to form a situation where he had to bow to him.

Now, the reading technology is undergoing a new era. It is the best time to welcome you to catch up later.

If you miss this step, you can only swallow your anger and accept the standards set by the other party. If you want to do something, you can also be called emperor if you don’t say it. If you want to say it, hehe, then someone can support your technical standards!

Kelcorion also saw this and dared to speak loudly. He expected Xiao Qiang to agree. Because this is the path the Japanese have taken, Sony and Panasonic have paid the price for it one after another. Now the company is welcome to leave the role of ordinary manufacturing companies and move upward, so they also need to buy expensive tickets.

Otherwise, we welcome any cvd and dvd that are being launched, and it is better to give up as soon as possible.

He didn't know that Xiao Qiang had no intention of participating in the formulation of DVD technical standards in this way from the beginning. He had other plans for this.

Xiao Qiang shrugged: "Mr. Kelcorion. I think you may have misunderstood my purpose in this place. I have no intention of buying MGM. This time I come, I just want to obtain the permission to issue laser discs in your company's video database."

"Distribution licensing rights?" Kelcorion wondered that she looked at him and sighed very regretfully, "So, are you going to give up on DVD? Mr. Xiao, you will find that you are greedy for small gains. What you pay will be much more than you think! Taylor, come and talk to Mr. Xiao about the issue of video authorization. I'm going to rest."

He stood up, shook hands with Xiao Qiang coldly, and left straight away.

The one who stayed to talk to Xiao Qiang was MGM's executive president Taylor. He sat opposite Xiao Qiang and kept a cold and polite manner: "Mr. Xiao. If you just plan to obtain a license to release our video discs, you can do it. However, this price is probably not cost-effective."

Taylor sat far away and the voice was not loud. The translator had to turn over and hear it clearly. He turned around and repeated his words to Xiao Qiang in Chinese.

Xiao Qiang was not surprised at all to this answer. Before he came, he was mentally prepared. He just had a chance with Kelcorion and returned to his original place.

“Can you say something?”

"Yes, the licensing fee for each movie is different. The highest fee is two million US dollars, and the lowest is sixty-five million US dollars. The licensing fee for each TV series is between two hundred thousand US dollars. to one million US dollars!" Executive President Taylor touched the corner of his mouth and made a smile without a smile.

"What?" Before Xiao Qiang finished listening, he stood up with his hands on the table and glared.

What is the authorization fee?

It is to buy the movie distribution rights, which is the price.

To calculate at this price, he will buy all the distribution rights of MGM's film library CDs, and the total value will be as high as tens of billions of dollars!

This is deliberately making things difficult for others. Maybe their major film companies have reached an internal agreement. I am just waiting for me to take the initiative to surrender and let them be fools!

Taylor, who was opposite, smiled at this moment, as if he was very satisfied with his performance.

Xiao Qiang looked at him for a long time. He sat down slowly, holding the table with his hand, trembling slightly: "I heard that the distribution rights can be charged according to the number of discs issued. I don't know how you charge the license fee?"

He didn't plan to be polite with the other party, and just called him "you".

"Each movie, suppressing a set of discs costs twenty to thirty dollars!" Taylor also said in an official manner.

Hiss, Xiao Qiang gasped.

Each disc is twenty to thirty dollars, even if it only suppresses ten thousand sets, it will cost twenty or thirty dollars! This is completely different from the first method. The only difference is that the first one is wholesale and the latter is retail. To be honest, the issuance fee is drawn based on each disc, which is even more expensive!

Qin Le couldn't help laughing when he looked at his expression.

They have the final say in this market. Xiao Qiang either doesn’t do it, and he has to pay a high price to do it. There is no such thing as a clever example!

Besides, the Japanese have already paid, and you Chinese are the same.

Do you really think the US market is so easy to occupy?

"Okay! I will pay the authorization fee according to the amount of suppression!" Xiao Qiang's words squeezed out from the depths of his chest, making it very difficult to say. He raised his hand and asked someone to take a list of videos that had been drawn up long ago, and repeatedly looked at them on it. He pursed his lips tightly, and slashed over one by one, marking most of the videos with a red cross.

Every time a video name is crossed out, his face twitches, making Taylor the opposite feel very comfortable, just like watching a wonderful movie.

After leaving MGM Film Company, Xiao Qiang had a slight face and said nothing.

They only purchased the disc distribution rights for more than a dozen movies, and this quantity is not enough for the minimum requirements for CVD promotion. Moreover, each movie is not dared to print in large quantities. The more you get, the more you lose.

Xiao Qiang looked back at the MGM Land company logo. His pupils shrank.

This is true for MGM, so other companies must be the same. They are all blocking the living space of CVD, otherwise they will buy expensive tickets to be eligible to play with them.

Universal Company does not only have the disc distribution rights for these dozen movies, but also the copyrights for hundreds of cartoons they purchased when promoting the view operating system in the early days. But this is far from enough. If users purchase cvd, they will definitely not be satisfied with only more than one hundred discs to watch, and there will inevitably be more requirements.

Then, I can only hope that Austin and the others will make progress smoothly. If they can produce results as soon as possible, CVD will still be able to make a breakthrough.

Before entering the car, Xiao Qiang felt a gaze projecting from a high place.

He looked up and saw Kelcorion, surrounded by people, walking out of the headquarters of MGM. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds on the steps and the other under the steps.

OK. If you want to play, I will play with you. I have already learned the rules of yours, but the following rules will be set by me! The price you will pay will exceed your imagination!
Chapter completed!
