Hollywood starts with animation

In the past few days, Zhu Ke, who has been busy expanding the company's territory for the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, has been rejected by the old guy, but it is not without the slightest gain.

White Castle Press;

smile press

These two publishing houses were under the command of Zhu Ke Nang.

The White Castle Publishing House is a newly established publishing house with only a mere 6 years, but the founder of the publishing house, Mr. Jin Cordos, has worked at Random House for more than 20 years and has an extremely broad network of contacts.

In just 6 years, it has grown from scratch and developed White Castle Press into a comprehensive book publishing house engaged in economics, novels, and celebrity biographies.

It is one of the best small publishers!

In California, Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and other West Coast areas of the United States, there are complete distribution channels, and many well-known bookstores and convenience retail stores have good cooperative relations;

however......

There are unpredictable weather, and people have misfortunes.

Mr. Jin Cordos, the founder of the White Castle Press, died at work early last month due to myocardial infarction.

As a result, Mrs. Kim Cordos, who was not good at business, had to reluctantly sell her husband's publishing house.

$7.8 million!

That's right, Zhuke used $9 million far below the market price to win the White Castle Press, which is the best of the small publishing houses.

Don't say that Zhu Ke has a dark heart and bullies orphans and widows.

In fact, shortly after Jin Cordos died, several authors who had a long-term cooperative relationship with White Castle were poached by other publishing houses. As a result, the price would naturally drop a lot.

Smile Press, it's different.

Smile Publishing, located in New York, is the seventh-ranked publishing house in New York State, and it is also the top 30 large and medium-sized publishing houses in the publishing industry of the United States.

Especially in terms of recreational books and children's books, it can be said to be the top three existence!

"This is great. For my "Harry Potter" series of books, I need this type of publishing house the most." Zhu Ke smiled.

63 million!

Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group paid $ 63 million in three installments and won the well-known smile publishing house in one fell swoop.

Well, the payment accounts of the two publishing houses are all accounts of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.

In the past year, the revenue of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group was not cheap!

"America's Got Talent" launched by subsidiary UPN Television Network, but brought nearly 200 million US dollars in profit;

Subsidiary Wald Pictures, which produced "Fatal Turn 1", "Human Removal Project", and "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", has created a profit of more than 250 million US dollars, and there are many balances that have not been settled. clear;

What's more, there is also the "Titanic" that is now sweeping the world. Wald Pictures also accounts for 25% of the global box office share, including some peripheral profits.

It is no exaggeration to say that now Jin Shuguang Group is really rich!

......

Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group.

CEO Victor solemnly said: "Boss, Smile Publishing is a comprehensive publishing group, especially for children's books and recreational books. It does have a lot of advantages, and it has comprehensive book distribution channels covering North America."

"White Castle Publishing House, although its strength is a little weaker, is a relatively good reinforcement for our publishing house's strategic layout."

"So now, we still lack professional publishing houses for disciplines."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke frowned immediately.

The publishing subsidiary of the Entertainment Group also needs professional publishing houses for academic subjects. Zhu Ke does not understand this.

This has nothing to do with the entertainment industry!

"Boss, your thinking is largely limited by the Eastern way of thinking." Victor said solemnly.

Zhuke nodded.

Zhu Ke was a member of the Great Celestial Empire in his previous life. Even after more than two years, he will be more or less affected by his inherent thinking in terms of thinking. This is something from his bones and cannot be changed easily.

In addition, Zhu Ke likes Eastern philosophy and thinking, which is something that all executives of the company know.

"Ha ha!"

Victor smiled and said: "Boss, in the United States, in North America, in Western countries, if a publishing house does not have professional books on subjects, it will always be a second-rate company. This is why Smile Publishing is clearly not weak, but its market value is The reason why it has not been high."

"It is not high enough!"

No matter what type of publishing house it is, it is ultimately an education type!

Even those publishing houses of entertainment and comics.

Education is a topic that citizens of all countries in the world attach great importance to. This extends to publishing houses in Western countries, and there will be a status quo.

——You do not have a professional subject publishing house, you will never be considered top-notch!

.......

Just do it!

This is Zhu Ke's consistent code of conduct.

For the first time, Zhu Ke commissioned professionals to collect publishing houses with professional books on subjects.

The most preferred target is, of course, the publishing houses of major universities in the United States. Looking at the world, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and other university presses are all well-known.

However, Zhuke knows a fact!

That is you can't buy them at all!

Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and other universities, which one is short of money?

Everybody has big money!

Every year, only the money donated by major outstanding graduates and alumni, the money donated by major companies, and the money donated by various foundations are a very large number.

"I remember that Pan Shiyi donated 100 million U.S. dollars to Harvard, but for domestic colleges and universities, he didn't get a dime. Many netizens made complaints about this matter on the Internet."

Zhu Ke couldn't help but think of this.

Therefore, Zhu Ke focused on publishing houses that were not the university's own publishing houses but had good relations with major universities.

Three days later...

Target locked!

"Boss, Duke Brown Bear Press is a publishing house with a long history. It was founded in 1928 by the famous psychology professor Troy Bislet of Columbia University."

"The scope of its publications involves professional publishing houses in medicine, biology, computer, economics, law, physics, mathematics, psychology, chemistry, history, sociology, environmental science, philosophy, linguistics, geography and other disciplines."

"The URBT magazine published by him was a journal of very high academic quality in the United States in the 1980s."

"At its peak, it had 1,850 employees and a market value of 700 million US dollars!"

Although Alexander is a second-generation immigrant of Russian descent, you can't deny his professionalism. In a short period of time, he has been introduced to Zhu Ke as a treasurer.

"what about now?"

Zhuke smiled.

Hearing this, Alexander shook his head and said: "The heir of the Bislett family is a complete prodigal. Gambling and drug use are simply standard. When he was in college, because of participating in fights, many people were injured and admitted to the hospital, and one died. , And was expelled from school and served three years in prison."

"His dad, Buckinfield Bislet, a famous real estate tycoon in San Francisco, has a heart attack himself, and because of this, he was maddened to death."

"In less than ten years, Bislett, the prodigal son, lost nearly $1 billion in net worth, and is now even more in debt. As a last resort, he can only choose to sell the Duke of Brown Bear Press."

The voice fell.

Zhu Ke also personally looked through the materials of the Duke of Brown Bear Press and found that it has a good cooperative relationship with major universities in the United States, as well as many well-known universities in Europe and Asia.

Well, it fully meets Zucker's requirements.

"In a word, I want it!"

70 million dollars!

Yes, its scale and annual profit are far lower than Smile Publishing House, less than one-tenth, but its market value is much higher than Smile Publishing House.

This is the advantage of forced high!
