Taal's joining reduced me a lot of burden. Although he hadn't been involved for many years, he was still very comfortable in doing all kinds of things. I asked him to help Jack manage Factory 3. After he got familiar with the work, he was responsible for the work of Factory 3, and Jack continued to manage his fast food industry. Factory 3 had already been almost cleaned up by Jack, so Shottal had only taken one or two days to get to Factory 3 and was completely familiar with the situation of the factory.

As for Jack, this kid was not only busy losing weight after cleaning Factory 3 and worrying about his Los Angeles fast food for a while, but also tired of getting injections. This time, with Shawtal's joining, he wanted to jump up and have a very close meal. After Shawtal became familiar with the various businesses of Factory 3, after he handed over all the key departments of Factory 3 to Shawtal, Jack turned around and returned to his fast food headquarters, and continued to sharpen the development of DreamWorks fast food industry. In his words, he was born to be a busy life.

On August 26, the Los Angeles Times reported that Paramount sold its 1,300 cinemas to DreamWorks. This was a malicious joke that the Los Angeles Times wanted to increase its circulation, but after learning the authenticity of this incident, almost everyone was surprised.

They don’t understand why Paramount suddenly sold the 1,300 companies in their hands, and even the auction was not held. Such a move is really incredible for Adolf, who regards the company as more important than his life. This report caused an uproar. Six radio stations in Los Angeles reported continuously, and dozens of hotlines were almost blown up. There are two issues that people are most concerned about, one is how much it cost to buy the 1,300 theaters in DreamWorks, and the other is the 1,300 theaters established by Adolf.

The Hollywood City Government also got involved in this matter and sent an investigation team of more than a dozen people to visit Paramount and DreamWorks respectively. Grant secretly told me that this group was not organized by the Hollywood City Government, but the attention of the Los Angeles City Government. Mayor Pang Mao and Speaker Coward were very surprised by Adolf. They felt that there was something wrong with it. But it was difficult to come forward in person, so they came up with such a trick to kill people by borrowing a knife, allowing Grant to lead a group of people to Adolf and me and Adolf.

Grant was originally standing with me, so although the other dozen people were from the Los Angeles City Government, the investigation did not work at all. I kept trying to get sloppy with these people, and Grant secretly helped me. In addition, the dozen people were young employees, so this investigation turned completely into a form.

However, when such a thing happens, Hollywood is often the busiest and most exhausted. It is the government. It is the newspaper, magazine, radio station reporters. They not only try to collect information from various channels. They also come to the door directly with little information.

The gate of Paramount was filled with reporters, and they asked for a visit to Adolf, but Adolf | Dolph. Why did he suddenly sell his 1,300 cinemas? Some people say that although Paramount is now on the surface, there is actually a great financial crisis inside the company. Some people say that the Sando case has made Paramount miserable and discredited Paramount. Adolf: Atonement is to sell the cinema to DreamWorks in exchange for DreamWorks' understanding. Some people start from the current booming situation of audio films and point out that DreamWorks is now holding the patent of audio films. Audio movies are the development trend of future movies. If Paramount wants to develop, they must reconcile with DreamWorks to get the opportunity to screen audio films, otherwise there is only one result waiting for them, that is, they are abandoned by history.

I felt funny when I saw these high opinions from critics. I don’t know how these guys have their heads, and how they analyze the uprisings and invite them. They are so "informed".

Under my instruction, the Citizens Newspaper summarized these comments and made several large and full-page comments in their newspapers. The newspaper on that day also became a hot commodity in the citizens.

These statements have been believed by a large majority of people that although people are extremely confused about Adolf's actions, they just need to put themselves in Adolf's shoes and quickly agree with this statement.

What makes me happy is that among these statements, no one doubted that Adolf made a deal, because Chuck and I agreed in advance that the acquisition would not be announced, so everyone believed that DreamWorks must have spent a lot of money this time. It was an ordinary business to pay the money and deliver the goods in the other.

Not only was the gate of Paramount company full of reporters, but the gate of DreamWorks was also crowded. These reporters asked me to come out and explain. At first I didn't want to go, but later I was furious by their quarrels, so I had to ask Gans to put them in and hold a small press conference in the company's yard.

"Mr. Corleon, we want to know that you and Paramount have always been concerned about it, why did they suddenly reach an acquisition agreement and there was no sign of any previous sign?"

"I can't explain this. I was as surprised as you when I received a call from Mr. Chuck at that time, but the current situation is that what DreamWorks needs most is the cinema. Since they want to sell it and their attitude is still so friendly, there is no reason to refuse. In fact, there was only a small misunderstanding between Mr. Adolf Chuck and me before. I am very grateful for his ability to show kindness this time. When he betrayed the company's cinema, we are the first to think of us. I think with Mr. Adolf Chuck's move, DreamWorks and Paramount will definitely get along with each other and promote the prosperity of Hollywood."

"Mr. Corleon, can you tell us how much it cost to buy these 1300 theaters in DreamWorks?"

"Sorry, I can't say this, because it's a trade secret. If I have to tell you, I can only tell you that this is a huge sum of money. There is only some steel left in DreamWorks' account."

"Mr. Corleon, will DreamWorks sell Paramount audio film projection equipment and allow them to make audio films with Vitamin?"

"Your question is well-reported. In fact, it is not just Paramount. We welcome all companies interested in audio films. President Coolidge visited last time, and let us Hollywood film companies help each other and cooperate to promote the development of the American film industry. The more film companies shoot audio films, the sooner Hollywood will embark on the road to prosperity, and we will make some money ourselves. Why don't we do such happy things?"

"Ke

Life, what do you think of Paramount, especially the Adolf case?"

"Although Sister Sando himself has done something that has harmed Hollywood, the United States is a country that rules the rule of law. This practice of killing people in broad daylight is really unacceptable. Through some understanding, I appreciate the Los Angeles Police Department's ability to handle it impartially. It is precisely with these pioneers of justice that we film companies can feel safe. I believe that the murderer will be punished. As for Mr. Adolf, I personally think he is a person who has made great contributions to the development of Hollywood movies. He himself has always been a person of the right time, so I don't really believe that he will do something to kill people."

...

The press conference lasted for two hours, and I replied in detail and patiently about each reporter's questions, which made them very satisfied. When answering, I tried my best to point their eyes to Adolf. With Paramount, with my efforts, these reporters almost believed the commentators' statements: Adolf 00 companies]:: There was a problem with Paramount. In addition, he wanted to obtain the right to shoot and screening of audio films by working with DreamWorks.

DreamWorks suddenly bought Paramount 1300 Cinema, which made many film companies' owners unable to sit still. These 1300 cinemas are about L weights that can not be underestimated. Lemmer called to congratulate them. Marskolov, Fox, Warner Bros. and many others also congratulate. However, when they congratulate, they also had a strange surprise and wariness in their tone.

The Hollywood Times and Pravda, together with two of Los Angeles' most prestigious professional statistics companies, conducted an assessment of DreamWorks' assets. The results of the assessment made many people who like DreamWorks delight, and forced other film companies to begin to look at DreamWorks with a vigilant look.

The result of this assessment is that DreamWorks has five branches, 1,300 cinemas, plus the patent rights for audio film projection systems, audio film patents, and subsidiaries such as Los Angeles Fast Food, and its total assets have reached 300 million. It has jumped directly from the fourth level to the third level. Although it is a gap compared to Global, Columbia, 20th Century Film Company and the third-level film company of Vog, and ranks last, the chief statisticians of the Hollywood Times, Pravda and the two statistics companies are very confident about the future of DreamWorks. They say that it will be no problem to reach the second level in a few years with the development speed of DreamWorks.

This news inspired the people of DreamWorks and made many people depressed. One of them was Chaplin. He used to boast that his United States was the fourth-level boss, but now, in Hedong and thirty years, DreamWorks soared into the sky with audio movies, leaving him far behind. What scared him the most was that Adolf, who had been standing on a boat with his nostrils, had no idea and had directly dealt with DreamWorks and completely abandoned him. In this way, Chaplin could neither get the audio movie screening system that all film companies dream of now, as they used to be, and he was full of joy to watch other companies busy with this emerging and fashionable thing across the ages. His own company's cinema was deserted, and Chaplin, who had a foreshadowing that his acting career was about to end, had completely lost confidence.

However, he did not give up the opportunity to struggle. He was annoyed by Adolf. It was also on August 26 that Chaplin suddenly appeared in the radio room of Los Angeles 4 in the afternoon. He "angrily" used the radio to make Adolf do this, which was a compromise. Although Chaplin did not explicitly say that Adolf was not clean because of the unclear silence of murder and silence, the evidence fell into my hands. Chaplin does not have the courage yet, and he dared not offend Adolf completely... But he hinted to the audience in a very obscure way that Adolf suddenly sold the 1300 cinema that he usually regarded as his treasure, and it was sold to his enemy Dream Factory. There must be something wrong with it.

Chaplin's clamor aroused the disgust of many people. Many people were blocking the gate of Sitai. When he came out, he threw eggs and tomatoes at him. It is said that Chaplin was smashed into the car in a very embarrassing manner, and then fled away hurriedly like a stray dog.

Most people just treat Chaplindi's speech as a farce, and they will not think deeply except Xiaoxiao. Of course, Chaplin's statement also attracted the attention of a few people. They wanted to find out the truth of the matter, but Chaplin's statement had no evidence at all. They couldn't figure it out if they wanted to investigate, so they ended up in the end.

I don't pay attention to these messy things at all. The more they are, the better, especially between Adolf and Chaplin, I am happy to watch them bite their dogs. Now I have only one thing in my mind, that is, how to hold the premiere of "Kill Crocodile Pond".

Of course, I have done a lot of things in the past few days. The first is to go to Disney's factory No. 4 to check their work. Disney's "Lucky Bunny Oswa" is being revised and done quite beautifully. I asked him to cut out a three or four-minute exciting piece to be placed as a promotional video at the beginning of the movie "Kill Crocodile Pond". In this way, it will be of great benefit to the future screening of this cartoon.

The second thing I did had nothing to do with DreamWorks movies. I gave Jack $10 million and asked him to work hard to open branches within one month. ~ Try to open branches as much as possible with the cost of 2 US dollars per store. This money can increase 500 Los Angeles fast food restaurants. In addition, there are more than 20 now, DreamWorks fast food company has 520 branches. Once such a huge team is established, the profits will be absolutely amazing.

Warner Bros.'s 1,500 audio theaters and my office asked me to allow the screening of "Brave Heart" and "Kill Crocodile Pond" in their theaters. I agreed to his request. Of course, I would not let them spend my movies in vain. One-third of the profits they earned would be my. Although the share ratio I proposed was a bit high, Sam knew that audio movies have now made the audience crazy, and the remaining two-thirds of the profits would definitely make Warner a big profit.

The third thing was that I began to take action against my partner, Los Angeles Consortium. I originally owned 20% of the shares in Lockheed's aircraft company and Northrop's arms company. When I signed the agreement, I proposed that I could continue to add capital. When I proposed it, I had planned it. Now that I had money, I would of course take action against them. Eight in 1926

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Los Angeles Consortium took 4,000 yuan from me, and I also divided it up 25 million yuan from them. The consortium made a net profit of $15 million from me, which made the three people very happy. However, I did not lose the 15 million yuan in vain. In the negotiations on August 27, I suddenly took out 80 million to buy the original 20% of the North and owned 60% of the company's equity, and I have become the major shareholder of Northrop's arms.

Lockheed didn't say anything about my actions, and Litton didn't say anything. After all, both parties were clearly written on the contract, and Northrop didn't say anything. First of all, I had the best relationship with him and both admired each other. In addition, he is now my second brother's close friend, so after I became the major shareholder of the company and the injected $80 million in funds, he even happily patted my shoulder and called me the boss.

Money comes and goes quickly. The 160 million that I had held in my hands, and when I finished these things, I could only have a speed of less than 40 million yuan, and everyone was dizzy.

"Boss, how could you spend so much money? You spent more than 100 million in just a few days. God, this is too scary. Do you think it's a movie?!" Gans grinned in fear after listening to my report to the fence committee.

Although the others didn't say it, they were surprised to hear that more than one billion was gone.

"If you can't bear to spend money, you won't get money. I don't need to teach you this principle!" I glared at Gans fiercely and began to explain to everyone what benefits can be achieved by spending this money.

The ten million spent on Jack can make Los Angeles fast food accelerating leaps and bounds. If more than 52 fast food restaurants develop well, they can earn at least more than 10 million a month, which is a huge profit. The 80 million invested in Northrop suddenly makes Northrop a subsidiary of DreamWorks in a sense. After a while, I am tying the second brother-in-law transportation company and Northrop, and the arms business can be carried forward. Although it will take several years to break out in World War II. However, the world is not peaceful now, and wars are everywhere. With these 800

With the injection of 00,000 yuan, Northrop's arms can reach places that have never been reached before. The profit is also amazing. Another point is that Northrop can own 10% of the shares of DreamWorks. While our 80 million yuan makes DreamWorks a major shareholder, Northrop's own 10% of the shares of DreamWorks has become completely a flow between internal assets. In other words, in fact, the Los Angeles consortium only owns 20% of the shares of DreamWorks, and DreamWorks not only becomes the major shareholder of Northrop, but also continues to own Lockheed.

The profit deficit between DreamWorks and the Los Angeles Consortium has disappeared. In other words, although DreamWorks originally owned 40% of the shares of the Los Angeles Consortium, the Los Angeles Consortium also owned 30% of the shares of DreamWorks. The last profit is equivalent to that. DreamWorks always gave the Los Angeles Consortium a lot of money because of its huge profits. Now it's different. We have become the major shareholders of Northrop and hold 20% of the shares of Lockheed. Overall, the profit has been basically achieved between DreamWorks and the Los Angeles Consortium.

Run is flat, which means that every time the dividend is distributed, the consortium and DreamWorks can basically make money from each other, but neither of them will get money from each other. Individually, Lockheed and Leighton can obtain share from DreamWorks as before because they each hold 10% of DreamWorks shares, while DreamWorks does not hold any shares of Leighton and only own 20% of Lockheed shares, but the money spent by DreamWorks can be made up from Northrop. Simply put, everyone makes money, and DreamWorks benefits the most.

As for the money spent on internal development of DreamWorks, it was not wasted at all. It cost 26 million to buy Paramount’s local cinema. This is because the C Cinema has been renovated, but every family is a money tree. The spending money on the expansion of Factory 3 and Factory 5 has completely changed the two branches. It can be said that in Hollywood, it can have technical development and equipment production companies of the scale of Factory 3 and Factory 5, except for a few movie giants such as MGM and Paramount.

Therefore, the money spent is not unfair at all.

After I explained the money one by one, everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, we trust you. Besides, you have brought us all to make a lot of money every time." Stenberg sat next to Gans with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, DreamWorks is different now than before. You have seen the most direct manifestation. They have ranked us in the third place. Although they are the last place, this is also our glory, because this position is not something that anyone can come up as soon as they want." I laughed.

"What the last one, boss, I think that's because there's something wrong with their statistics. If you don't say anything else, like the 20th Century Film Company and Bivograf Company, these two companies are on hand]: There are not more than 1,000 companies today, but there are only more than us. Even if they have more capital than us, you can look at the statistics in the newspaper and it's only 10 or 20 million more than us. For this amount of money, we might get together one or two movies. I'll watch it, in less than half a year, we will catch up with them." What Stiller said made everyone in the room think it was right.

Although I didn't say anything, I was also happy in my heart. Stiller was right at all. It was now sunset and there was not much room for development than Vograf, and its assets were shrinking. As for the 20th Century Film Company, although their love Graf was much better, the company had many problems in its internal operations and developed slowly. Historically, it was later merged with Fox Company to become 20th Century Fox Company because of its business problems. Although 20th Century Fox Film Company became one of the Hollywood companies, that was later. At least now, it is a matter of time that the 20th Century Film Company moved its snail, and DreamWorks caught up with him.

Damn, the bigger the stall is, and the development speed is like a great leap forward.

But why do I always feel a little weak?
