Roosevelt's campaign was successful, Hollywood was in a panic, only DreamWorks remained as calm as before.8.com

The reason why DreamWorks people are more determined than anyone else is, besides knowing that there is only a deadly fight between us and Roosevelt and there is no other choice, the most important reason is that we have always been very clear-headed: everything must be spoken with strength.

One of the biggest reasons why DreamWorks has grown from scratch is that DreamWorks knows how to work hard. Whether it is movies or branches, there are few people in Hollywood who are our opponents in this regard.

And under such a severe situation at present, we naturally cannot do nothing.

On January 10, a few days after Roosevelt's successful election campaign, DreamWorks held a board meeting. This meeting, logically speaking, was one of the largest regular meetings that DreamWorks held every year. This year, because of Roosevelt, it became increasingly important.

That night, I laughed at the conference hall on the second floor, looking at the room full of people.

At this meeting, all the people from DreamWorks and the major branches of the Lockettke Consortium arrived. Even Coolidge, who was sick and hospitalized, ran out of the hospital when she heard that she was going to hold a board meeting.

"Everyone, this year may be the most severe year for our DreamWorks. Of course, as long as Roosevelt is in power, our lives will not be very easy, so I hope you are mentally prepared." The first thing I said made everyone in the room laugh and made me feel very comfortable.

This at least shows the enthusiasm of the DreamWorks group.

"Boss, don't worry, everyone is full of fighting spirit now and I have long wanted to fight with Roosevelt's bastard!" Shan Lige, the manager of the Third Factory, said a sentence. Everyone immediately applauded.

"Boss, we used to fight Rockefeller, and we fought Old John Rockefeller to death in just a few strokes. It's boring. This time we'll replace the president, which should be much more interesting!" Northrop's words made everyone laugh.

"Okay, okay, I thought you were so sad now. But after seeing this, I was still quite optimistic, and the optimistic point was good. In the next year, we have to arrange our work well." I paused, looked at these guys, and everyone calmed down.

"The work of the General Factory has been progressing very orderly, and I have personally inquired about all activities, so there will be no big trouble. The work of the third, fourth and fifth factories will be taken together. So we will not discuss the matter of Dream Factory Company. This time, we will focus on other branches."

I looked at the leaders of the branches sitting on the right side of the conference room.

"Bala, let me first talk about the situation of your European branch." I nodded to Bala.

Bala, who just flew back from Cannes, smiled and said, "The development of European branches in recent years has not been smooth. Now, we have occupied half of the European discovery system. We own 3,000 independent cinemas alone. In addition, we own 30% of the shares of Gaomeng Company, and are the second largest shareholder of Gaomeng Company. We have also made great achievements in various aspects such as equipment and screening rights. Boss, the capital of our European branches has reached nearly 200 million US dollars. This year, we plan to take action against Gaomeng Company to see if we can become the first shareholder of Gaomeng Company. In this way, Gaomeng Company will become our first subsidiary in Europe, and in this way, we can completely open up the situation in Europe."

Barra's words made me nod, "This must be done. Barra and Roosevelt came to power. The career development in the United States may be a bit setback, but this problem does not exist in Europe at all, so you must not only develop as usual, but also take a bigger step. Do you understand what I mean?"

Barra naturally understood what I meant, and said, "I understand this."

Looking at Bala's firm eyes, I was very satisfied: "To be honest, this is one of the reasons I started to open up the film market in Europe. We have a lot of eggs on hand, but we must not put them in a basket. We develop in multiple aspects. This is the best way. Northrop, how is our arms company developing now?"

Northrop, wearing a black suit, has become richer in recent years. He spread his hands and said, "Our arms company has always developed well. Now it has become the top arms company in the United States. Its business is one of the few major arms companies in the United States all over the world. In addition, we have worked with the Ministry of Defense for so many years and have completely laid the foundation."

"Where is the European branch?" I looked at Carlo and Joseph Barbera.

"The Swiss branch is now operating in full line. The weapons in our production areas basically supply most of Europe. In addition, the Mediterranean, Africa and other places are also our markets, and the sales are very good." Joseph Barber said.^^^^^

"The same is true for Danze's branch. In addition to Nordic Europe, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union are our sales areas. At the same time, Germany is one of the more important objects of our two branches. The German National Socialist Workers' Party is very friendly to us. They also bought us weapons to look at us. Our cooperation between us is very pleasant." Carlo has become much more steady now, and has become a person who stands alone from the original young boy.

"Not bad. The same thing is true. Local companies are developing steadily, so don't make any mistakes. European branches are sprinting with all their might." I took a sip of water and then looked at Lockheed.

"Boss, our aircraft company is now the largest aircraft company in the United States. In addition to cooperation with the military, civil aviation transportation and other fields have developed very well. I just have a little worry." Lockheed looked at me and said.

"Are you worried that Roosevelt would terminate your cooperation with the military headquarters after he came to power?" I smiled.

"Yes. Although we have developed very well in civil aviation and transportation, the production of military aircraft has occupied a certain amount of our turnover. If this aspect is interrupted, we will still suffer a lot of losses." Lockheed said.

"You can rest assured about this." Coolidge took over the words, his face was very bad. He was a little pale, but his spirit recovered a lot: "Roosevelt could not control the military completely. The military people didn't buy his account, except for MacArthur. I will have a good talk with Pern Xingjingjun, Eisenhower and others. With them here, your orders will not be short. Congress should be very clear about this point. Lockheed Aircraft Company currently has the most advanced aircraft production technology in the world. If they don't cooperate with us, we will sell the aircraft abroad. Anyway, other countries need it, and the US side will definitely not allow such a thing to happen. They must cooperate with us honestly."

Lockheed was relieved when he heard Coolidge say this.

I looked at Coolidge and then looked at Bizzell again.

"For Roosevelt, public opinion is the most important weapon. In this regard, Lockettke TV and Lockettke Publishing Group need to be." My voice became stagnant. "Lockettke TV has become the most influential media in the United States. The publishing group now has newspapers and magazines, which are our mouthpieces. In the past, your work was very good and I was very satisfied. But now the situation is a bit serious, so you are more careful, cautious and hardworking in your work. I feel very relieved that the power of the publishing group is a bit weak. Now you do not have a large newspaper and magazine with national influence. This is not possible."

I looked at Bizer and said, "Bizel, this year, you must take down at least one nationally influential newspaper and magazine to build our base for paper media. Can you do this?"

"Boss, I'm just about to tell you about this." At this point, Bizer was excited: "Our publishing group has this meaning. Although we now have publications such as "Movie Manual", "Playboy", "Citizens" and other publications, we still have no paper media with national influence. So the management of the publishing group began to consider acquiring some such media as early as July last year. We have been doing such a job and are waiting to report to you. There is a media that we think is very suitable."

"Which?" I asked.

"Time Magazine." Bizer's words made me straighten my back.

"Is the Time magazine that made a name for itself in the Georgia incident?" Coolidge still had some impression of this publication, because in the Georgia incident and the entire process of my assassination, Time magazine was the most eye-catching media among all American media.

"Yes. Although the influence of this publication has not yet been truly national, we think it is perfectly possible with its potential. We have started talking about acquisitions since last year because their boss Times company is now operating poorly and has some subsidies in all aspects. All people are willing to transfer this publication." Bizer said.

"Times Company?" My heartstrings shook when I heard this name.

Times Company is not very large now, but in later generations, this company was too famous. In 1990, it even acquired Warner Bros. Film Company and had a name that everyone knows about in later generations - Time Warner.

Why, it is operating poorly now.

My mind suddenly became active.

"Bizel, let's focus on their situation." I smiled.

Seeing that I was interested, Bizer immediately became excited.8.com^^^^

"Times Company was founded in 1923 and was founded by Henry Luce and Britton Haydn. At that time, the two guys were college students. It can be said that the basis of this company is Times. After so many years of development, the two people have gone from scratch, and the company's scale is getting bigger and bigger. Now their assets are about 50 million US dollars. In addition to Times, the media it owns also has a Fortune magazine founded last year. The former is a news weekly and is also a Times Public. The former is a news weekly and is also a Times Public.

The most famous one is an economic weekly magazine. Although it has just started, it has a very good effect. In addition, they have some small publishing companies and audio-visual companies, but they are not big in scale. Henry Luce and Britton Haydn are very smart. The reason they have a financial crisis is because of a mistake in this investment, so they want to sell Times at a high price and use this money to save Times. After they get through the crisis, they can naturally start Xindi News Magazine." Bizerdow.

"These two people are talents!" I sighed.

Bizer said it well. Henry Luce and Britton Haydn are definitely genius media people. They founded Times, sold this, and then turned around and started another weekly magazine. I believe that they can make a name for themselves, so this also changed my previous opposite.

After all, magazines are run by people. Without talent, even the most famous magazines will go bankrupt. With talent, even inconspicuous magazines can soar into the sky.

"Bizell, can you find a way to acquire the entire Times Company and tell Henry Luce and Britton Hatton that if they join the Lockettke Consortium, Times Company will definitely soar." My words immediately made Biizell stunned. He might not have thought that I had such an appetite.

"Boss, the most important thing about Times is Times. I really don't like other things. Is there any need for a whole acquisition?" Bizer asked.

"You are wrong. The most important thing about Times is not Time magazine but talents like Henry Luce and Britton Haydn." I laughed.

"Then I'll give it a try." Bizer nodded.

"It's not a try, it's a must. When negotiating with them, you can tell those two guys that if Times join the Lockettke consortium, we will not only pay off all their debts, but also allocate a billion dollars for their development, and the two of them can own one-tenth of Times' original shares." My words immediately stunned Bizer.

From my dialect, he could see that I was determined to take over the Times Company.

A company that was originally only $50 million and insolvent, now not only pays off all their debts, but also invests billions of dollars in development. What’s more, the two leaders of Times Company, Henry Luce and Britton Hatton, own one-tenth of Times Company’s original shares. What’s the concept? This means that the two people now have doubled their assets, and they understand the meaning of the original shares. This means that the better the Times Company develops, the higher their income!

With the big tree Lockettke, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Times Company!

They can't refuse to agree unless they are funny.

"Boss, he will definitely agree to such a condition." Bizer smiled.

"This is the effect I want. By the way, after the acquisition, change the name of Times Company to Times Group and unified the management of your Lockettec Publishing Group under the Lockettec Media Group. Don't slack off, just let it go." My words made Bizer excited and danced.

"By the way, there is also the Rolling Stone of Laclau. You also join the Media Group. In this way, the media group under the Lockettke Consortium will be enriched." I pointed to Laclau Mulvey.

This plan made everyone in the conference room excited.

If this plan is implemented smoothly, Lockett Media Group will be a super group integrating publishing, printing, media, entertainment, etc. Such a group is the first media group with such a large scale even in the United States!

"Gans, Bizer, Laclaw, I will hand it over to you such a large group." I turned to look at the three of them and smiled.

As one of the three giants of the Lockettke Consortium, Gans has always been responsible for public opinion propaganda, so he is naturally managed by this consortium. "Boss, when did I disappoint you?" Gans squeezed his eyes.

"Calvin, you have a task here, too." I looked at Coolidge.

Coolidge smiled and said, "Just tell me, I had expected you to have a task, otherwise I wouldn't have run out of the hospital." ^^^^^"

Hahahaha. Everyone burst into laughter.

"Lockett TV is developing very well now. If Lockettt Media Group operates locally, our paper media is pretty good. In this way, the only thing we have flaws is the broadcaster, a national influence broadcaster, do you understand?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Andre, have you gotten into CBS?" Coolidge and I have been with me for so long, and they are simply the worm in my stomach. He understands my mind very well.

I smirked twice. Although I didn't answer, I basically assumed it was a default.

CBS is now the second largest broadcaster in the country, founded in 1927. It was a company jointly established by 16 radio stations. Its current owner is Columbia Records and Columbia Film Company. As early as last year, we purchased a large number of their shares. After some additional shares, we now control 35% of their shares. If we can add it, it is not impossible to become the largest shareholder. "This is not as easy as acquiring Times Company." Coolidge frowned: "Although Columbia Records has developed very badly in the past two years, it is very important to CBS. They are unlikely to transfer CBS."

"Calvin, can we use our brains on Columbia Records," I mentioned.

Coolidge still doesn't understand.

"The Mr. Edison, who has a great relationship with us, owns 20% of the shares of Columbia Records, don't forget this." I smiled.

Coolidge suddenly realized and patted his head hard.

As we all know, Edison was the inventor of phonographs. In the record industry, other companies have monopolized for a long time due to the advantages of patent rights. Columbia Records was established in 1890. At that time, Edison dominated the world with the National Phoenix Company, so Edison also owned shares in Columbia Records. Although the National Phoenix Company has become yesterday's yellow flower, Edison has 20% of the shares in Columbia Records.

Edison and I have a great relationship. I don’t have any problem with paying for Edison’s 20% equity in Columbia Records. Then I asked Columbia to convert this 20% equity into CBS shares. Columbia Records will definitely agree and calculate it. At that time, we can have almost 70% equity in CBS. In that case, this broadcaster will naturally be under the name of the Lockettke Consortium.

"Andre, in this way, you can't get 200 million without it." Coolidge looked at me and said.

"200 million is about 200 million. Public opinion is really important to us!" I leaned on the chair and took a breath of smoke: "After CBS was taken down, we will establish Lockettec Radio and Television with Lockettec TV, and you and Baird are still responsible for it."

Coolidge showed a hint of excitement and excitement on his face. The establishment of this Lockettec Radio and Television Company will undoubtedly become one of the most influential media companies in the United States.

In the Rockettec consortium, the reason why I did not classify Rockettec TV under the Rockettec Media Group is because in my eyes, this TV station is really important, and because of this reason, it was taken out alone.

Everyone in DreamWorks knows that although the Rockettec consortium has a large family business and many branches, in my mind, there are only two most important companies, one is DreamWorks Film Company, which is our foundation, and the other is Rockettec TV.

"If these two plans are realized, then the Rock Consortium has a group of paper media led by Time magazine in terms of paper media, CBS, the second largest broadcaster in the United States, and the Rockettke TV station, the only one in the United States. Humph, Franklin Roosevelt, I want to see what you have to withstand the attacks on public opinion in my area!" I squinted my eyes and laughed.

What DreamWorks is best at is public opinion attacks. When I was able to use "The Passion of Jesus" to collapse the Vatican Church in the United States, and with the help of "Dancing with the Wolves", Roosevelt's former Democratic leader Alfred Smith, the powerful power of DreamWorks movies has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone, including Roosevelt.

The appeal and influence of Lockettke TV is now at the peak of all American media. If the plan to acquire Time and CBS this time is successful, then the public opinion power of DreamWorks will be greatly strengthened. ***** With this weapon, Roosevelt will definitely be like a thorn in his throat!

We also have to make a lot of plans in other aspects.

"Gullit, how is the pharmaceutical group developing now?" I asked.

As general manager of Lockettke Pharmaceutical Group, Gulit Bella said confidently: "Although our pharmaceutical group cannot be said to be one of the top groups in the United States, it has become the number one in the West. The market we are developing overseas is much larger than many large pharmaceutical companies in the United States. Overseas markets have always been our main goal."
