Chapter 1069 Acquisition of "Time Magazine" and CBS Chapter 1070 "Pirates of the Caribbean"!(2/3)
"This is very good, continue to maintain it, but the business in the United States will also develop." I smiled. "Shotal, how is the original production of our oil company?" I turned to ask Shotal.
"Last month we won an oil company in Louisiana. Now our original production and strength rank among the top ten of American oil companies. Especially Alaska's large oil field mining has made one-third of the original supply in the United States ours." Since becoming the boss of the oil company, Shottal has been responsible for the business expansion of the oil company, and under his leadership, Lockettke Oil has also become one of the top oil companies in the United States.
"This year, we plan to drive the oil wells abroad. For example, in the Middle East. According to the detection results sent back by the detection team we photographed from there, the crude oil reserves there are very large and the mining is very convenient." Sautaldi's words made my eyes lit up.
Middle East!? That is the oil depot of the whole world!
"Okay! I think this plan is very good! You can adjust your business and focus your main energy on the Middle East! There is indeed not much room for development in the United States." My words made Shottal laugh.
After giving me a message, my eyes fell on my second brother.
He is now the boss of the Lockettec Transportation Company, and the Lockettec Transportation Company has now developed into the top three major transportation companies in the United States. If the transportation alliance is included, this alliance is undoubtedly the most influential transportation company in the United States. There is basically no trouble with the transportation company. However, I am worried that after Roosevelt, a bitch who came to power, will use policies to suppress us. You all know that the transportation company is not like other companies. Our business is greatly affected by policies. If Roosevelt uses the power in his hands to revenge, it will inevitably greatly affect our profits."
My second brother's words made me frown.
He said it well at all. This is also what I worry about.
Compared with other transportation companies, the biggest feature of Lockett Transportation Company is that its main business is linked to the government, because whether it is Coolidge, Hoover's reign or Rootman's reign, the service targets of Lockett Transportation Company are basically the country, which is one of the reasons why it can grow rapidly. It can be said that our political advantages were the biggest reason for our benefit, but now, with Roosevelt's coming to power, the transportation company is of course in trouble.
"Second brother, I think from this year, the transportation company will have to adjust its development direction. If the original business can be maintained, the main business of odd numbers should be shifted from national business to ordinary people's business. Although this may be a little slow, it is still developing after all." I said this, it is really the only choice.
"I understand." The second brother took a sip of cigarette.
"Bowji, when will your director's inauguration banquet be held?" Coolidge looked at his second brother and asked. His second brother had worked in the police station for several years, and his ability has been recognized by people in the entire Los Angeles. He had heard that he was going to be promoted before. Logically speaking, it is almost the same now, but he has not heard any news.
"It seems that good things are going to be ruined." The second brother smiled bitterly.
"Second brother, what does it mean?" I asked.
My second brother worked very hard on the police, and I can see that he really liked this profession. The position of the Los Angeles Police Chief was basically under his butt before, but it was just a matter of time.
"Didn't you say that Hank Puyol was transferred and I took over? Now something seems to be wrong." The second brother leaned on the sofa and smiled.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?" I asked.
"Hank Puyol doesn't seem to want to be transferred. He has a very tough attitude and is going to stay here. Los Angeles Mayor Albourne Barkley is very supportive of this. So the situation completely changed."
My second brother's words made me sneer.
"The reason for such an accident is probably because Roosevelt came on stage." I stood up and walked to the window and stared at the lights outside.
Before Roosevelt officially became president, the direction of the United States began to change, and it became so fast that it was beyond my expectations.===
But thinking about it is normal. As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers are now called for the wind and rain, and the people below have to reconsider it.
"Andre, this matter is a small matter, so don't consider it. I am very happy to be the deputy director now. Do you still care about the chief and deputy director like me?" The second brother laughed.
"Second brother, things are not as simple as you think." I turned around: "The mayor of Los Angeles is now Albourne Barkley, and as soon as Roosevelt came to power, Los Angeles must be a key area where they retaliate, so, second brother, you have to be careful."
"I understand this. Don't say that I haven't done anything bad when I was in office. Even if I made some mistakes, they won't do anything to me. You know, I am also the boss of the Western Mafia." The second brother smirked wickedly.
That night, we held a meeting very late, and many things were discussed bit by bit. Since DreamWorks was established, there has never been such a meeting to adjust its business as a whole.
On the one hand, this meeting made DreamWorks people feel heavy, but on the other hand, it made them all full of confidence. After all, through this meeting, they saw the strength of DreamWorks and the hopeful prospects we planned.
In Stenborough's words, it means: "Bitches are all raised, and they carry their heads on their shoulders. Who is afraid of whom?"
This meeting, unusually important to DreamWorks, has almost become a sign, a sign that began with Roosevelt, the Democratic Party’s formal fight against the land.
After this meeting, the United States was still very lively. On the one hand, the people and the media were still talking about the result of Roosevelt's election as president, and the cause of Rutman's death became a subject that all media talked about.
As for the Democratic Party and Roosevelt themselves, they obviously did not miss this great opportunity to expand their reputation. After the successful presidential election, the Democratic Party began a huge publicity campaign nationwide, celebrating their historic success, and on the other hand, it began to strive to expand their influence.
Under Roosevelt's leadership, they did achieve this goal. Many Americans' attitudes towards the president have changed, but this change is obviously very difficult, but after all, it is a change.
Later, two news that appeared in the media also attracted the attention of Americans.
The first news was that Lockett Publishing Group and Times had negotiated and negotiated. The two bosses of the Last Times Company, Henry Luce and Britton Haydn, agreed to merge Times Company into Lockett Publishing Group, and Lockett Publishing Group immediately held a press conference and decided to join forces with the original Rolling Stone Records to establish Lockett Media Entertainment Group.
Logically speaking, Times Company's total assets did not exceed 100 million yuan, and for the large American companies, it was completely an inconspicuous medium-sized company. However, once this news was released, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Because this is related to DreamWorks and Lockettke Consortium.
The acquisition of Times was also the first thing the Lockettke Consortium did since Roosevelt won the presidential election. At the press conference, Bizer also announced a news that the Lockettke Consortium will invest billion US dollars to develop Times and fully develop Times magazines. Anyone who is familiar with Times knows that Times' most famous magazine is Times.
"The United States is about to produce a nationally influential news and current affairs magazine! This will not only become a strong mark in the history of the US newspaper industry, but also mark the beginning of the Rockettke consortium's full march towards paper media! This is a signal, an exciting signal!"
Regarding this matter, the Washington Post made a series of comments.
The actions of the Lockettec Consortium were far more than that. Four days after the acquisition of Times, senior executives of Columbia Records also held a press conference, saying that they had sold Columbia Records' shares in CBS to the Lockettec Consortium.
In this way, Americans soon knew that CBS, the second largest broadcaster in the country, will be under the name of Lockettke from now on!
In less than a week, Lockettke's two big moves shocked the top American officials, both the government, the economic and media circles, and were stunned by the two actions of the Lockettke Consortium.
"The Birth of an Unprecedented Media Empire!" The Wall Street Journal simply used such an incitemental title.
"As we all know, the most deadly weapon of the Lockettec consortium is their influence on public opinion and media. DreamWorks movies. To a certain extent, they can influence the direction of the entire country. In this regard, we can see from Andre Corleon that his movies are simply devastating weapons!"
"In addition, movie fans around the world will choose "Movie Manual" if they want to learn about movies. From the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast, I don't know how many men are waiting for "Playboy" every week, and I don't know how many women are looking forward to "Fashion"!"
"Lockettke TV, the only national TV station in the United States and even the world, is the most influential media in the United States!"
"Now, the Lockettke Consortium takes action again and takes Time magazine. We have reason to believe that this magazine will soon become the largest and most authoritative news and current affairs magazine in the United States! Not only that, CBS, the second largest broadcaster in the country, is now in their hands. In this way, an unprecedented media empire has been born under the Lockettke Consortium! This empire covers almost all media categories from paper media to radio and television, and then to movies. Not only that, they are also representatives of the top American media!"
"The influence of this media empire cannot be imagined! We can only say that the thoughts of the American people are now in the hands of Andre Corleon!"
Although this report by the Wall Street Journal has been said a little over the past in some places, I think everyone who has read their reports can understand the meaning of this article.
The actions of the Lockettke Consortium shocked the United States. In the eyes of many people, this is a statement made by the Lockettke Consortium since Roosevelt won the presidential election. That is: We are not afraid of anyone, as long as we have a genitals, just let the horse come over!
"I don't think anyone is too stupid to provoke the Lockettec consortium to provoke Andre Corleon. If there is really someone like that, I think he chose to commit suicide." Roosevelt's vice president, John Garner, said to the media, soon appeared in the American media.
But Roosevelt never commented on this.
Time flies quickly, and January is about to pass soon.
On January 29th, Franklin Roosevelt held a grand presidential inauguration ceremony in Washington, the capital of the United States. On this day, the attention of the people of the United States was focused on this place.
At the inauguration ceremony, Roosevelt delivered his inauguration speech, and when he delivered his inauguration speech, the senior executives of DreamWorks were sitting in my office watching TV.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the United States is entering an unprecedented glorious era! An era of true democracy and freedom! The Democrats will use practical actions to let you understand what the real United States is like! We have suffered too long in the economic crisis, and we need to break free from the haze and pounce on the sun! I, Franklin Roosevelt, will fulfill my promise after becoming president, and my government will implement reforms! I believe that with our efforts, the United States will flourish again and the United States will become a paradise that the whole world envys!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remember this moment and remember every word I have said! At the same time, you must remember that the most precious thing about the United States is its democracy and freedom. Perhaps many of you have realized that there are too many monopolies, dictatorial figures and organizations in this country. To put it in a smaller way, we read books, newspapers and movies. To accept a choice that does not belong to us, because those movies are there, and you have no choice. To put it in a big way, our thoughts do not have freedom, and Americans seem to be experiencing a collective brainwashing process. Economically, the monopoly of certain large consortiums is almost making the country breathless. In fact, who can say that the worst economic crisis in history is not caused by these consortiums!"
"So, I will do a deal with these things during my tenure! Although I know it may be dangerous, for the freedom and power of the people of the United States, for the glory and democracy of this country, I, Franklin Roosevelt, are willing to be a martyr!"
"Let's build a brand new America! A truly bright, prosperous America! This is my lifelong dream!"
Roosevelt's speech was full of incitement. Although there were many key points, such as his reform plan and his policy plan, the most eye-catching thing in this speech was Roosevelt's words.
In this passage, Roosevelt pointed out the "monopoly" phenomenon in the United States with a stern word. What he said about is very obvious subtext.
Many people can read it from it. His words were specifically told to me by the Lockettke Consortium, and his statement that "will deal with these things during his tenure" is obviously a very firm attitude.
"Boss, it seems that this bitch must have a chance to meet us." Yassel looked at me and said.
"I can't wait!" Gans rubbed his hands.
Roosevelt's inauguration ceremony was very serious and the scene was very big, but there were a lot of chaos in the middle. When he was speaking on stage, many protesters rushed in and smashed the rotten eggs and tomatoes in his hands at him.
Roosevelt, who was still energetic just now, was smashed to pieces and was helped by the police halfway through his speech.
"Murderer!"
"Murderer!"
"hypocrite!"
The numerous opponents made the scene in chaos. They even rushed to the podium of the inauguration ceremony with Rutman holding his portrait, smashing the Democratic Party’s emblem to pieces.
In the end, the police had to go out. MacArthur even ordered some special forces personnel to enter the venue and expel those protesters, causing chaos in the scene.
The inauguration of President Roosevelt became the focus of people's discussion for a long time. Many people paid attention to the words he said against me against the Lockettrek consortium, and more people talked about the inauguration ceremony as a farce.
After the inauguration ceremony, Roosevelt moved into the White House and officially became the 33rd president in American history.
Everyone opened their eyes wide open to his office, wanting to see what the president would do, especially against DreamWorks.
But unexpectedly, after Roosevelt took office, he seemed to be very low-key. Not only did he not introduce measures against DreamWorks, but he did not even promulgate some basic measures.
This makes people a little strange.
I was also very puzzled. According to Roosevelt's vindictive character, he should have revenge on us as soon as he came to power.
"I guess I'm doing some conspiracy." Coolidge said in response.
I deeply agree with Coolidge's words. People like Roosevelt are often the most silent and the most dangerous.
But Roosevelt didn't make any noise, so we didn't wait with him. As early as January, a group of people in DreamWorks began to tinker with the movie scripts. By February, several of the group had emerged.
"Boss, how about my script?" Stenborough, who was sitting in front of me, smiled wickedly.
A script he gave me, named "Robbers on the Sea". The content is about a group of young people cruising on the sea and stealing and hijacking ships. The reason for such a script is that my second brother told Stenborough about something happening inside the transportation company.
Almost every ship in the transport company has had some legendary things happening on the sea, and these things have obviously aroused this interest in Stenberg.
Stenberg's script is very well written. In fact, he is one of the few people who wrote the script beautifully in DreamWorks.
"It's okay." I nodded.
"Boss, that's all for comment!" Stenberg was very disappointed with my response.
"Bitch. Look at my script?" I opened the drawer and threw a script inside to Stenborough.
"Pirates of the Caribbean!" Stenberg looked at the title on the script and opened his eyes wide.
To be continued...
