King of Hollywood

Chapter 114: A Little Expansion

“We can have initial contact with both companies at the same time, without going too far, just to gather information. Then we look for opportunities for communication and analysis, and as you said, we need time and patience.” Adrian concluded by saying that although he had not completely given up his intention to acquire ABC, he had actually begun to favour BS.

Claude was right, their roots were too shallow, and although ABC was delicious, the risks were not ordinary, although he believed that if uncle and godfather could support them 100 per cent, even those problems in Claude's mouth would be resolved. But this support can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and off and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and off and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and off and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Indeed, BS is much cheaper than ABC, so saving a lot of money can also guarantee subsequent development, not to mention the brand CNN. Moreover, if a broadcaster like BS were to grow to the point of four major broadcasters, the sense of accomplishment would never be much less than saving ABC.

And more importantly, of course, Adrian found some of the BS stuff in his memory. On its original trajectory, Turner Broadcasting will be acquired by Warner in 96 and merged with a CBS-affiliated television network into the fifth largest television network in the United States after entering the twenty-first century. Well, that's not the point, the point is that Warner bought it 95 years later, and the year doesn't seem special to anyone, but Adrian sees it quite differently, and Claude thinks it's too short a time for them to grow, and they don't have much to do with it. In 95 years, the problem will be solved and the acquisition will be relatively smooth.

So Adrian agreed with Claude's suggestion, and they really needed patience and time, so long as they kept an eye on it, even in other situations, it wouldn't be too far off hand.

“So that's it.” Claude lifted the coffee cup, but halfway through it, he looked inside and said seriously: "I think we should get some wine and celebrate our consensus. ”

“Forget it, if you drink, you won't even look in the right direction when you're swinging like me.” Adrian laughed and said that he seemed to be in a good mood because he had solved a number of problems.

“It's okay, even so, you're not going to beat me,” Claude shrugged, "don't forget, you have two more dinners. ”

“I know, I won't forget.” Adrian shook his head funny and stood up after looking at the sky: "But not today, time is almost up, we've talked about it, and I should go back. ”

“Someone's waiting for you at home, right?” Claudese whispered that there seemed to be something else to say from his expression, but Adrian whispered and then shut his mouth and shrugged.

“By the way, Claude, one more thing.” What does Adrian have in mind at this point, "since the acquisition of the television network is not urgent, we can then take a small step forward. ”

“Little expansion step?” Claude frowned and looked at him.

“Of course, a few subsidiaries of AC Media, both brokers and publishers, are doing well, so there shouldn't be a problem with a smaller expansion, should there?” Adrian smiled.

The broker company didn't get Willis' agent, but Samuel? Jackson and John? Travolta brokers have joined, and they serve not only Jackson and Travolta, but also a few actors, two or three of whom are currently unremarkable, and the broker company already has several of the same types of actors, and the prospects of the broker company will definitely be favoured as long as arrangements are made over time.

As for the publishing company, The Tomb of Beauty, released in early April, sells better than I thought, and the readers of popular novels are tired of the male explorer's bridge segment, so the female version of Indiana? Jones is very eye-catching. For various reasons, the quality of the novel was only between first-class and second-class, so it quickly subsided after a brief boom, but the publishing company grew more stable as a result.

Of course, the movie company doesn't have to.

“Don't forget, you still owe me a broker's CEO, Ed.” Claude cautioned now.

“You're a tough guy, Claude," Adrian rolled his eyes, "I remember, of course, I don't know what to say, but that's not right now, I promise, I'll give you an answer in two years. ”

“Two years?” Claude whispered, then pulled back: "Okay, back to expansion. What do you want to do this time? ”

“Acquire a record company,” Adrian said of his own mind, "and put his hand in the record industry. ”

“The record industry? So soon?” Claude stood up, shrugging his shoulders.

“I told you, if you're going to do the media, of course all these industries should be involved.” Adrian, open your hands.

“Well, I'll keep an eye on it, but it'll take time.” Claude didn't refuse.

“I wish I could hurry,” Adrian ordered, "Of course, I'm not forcing you, I'm just thinking about one thing, maybe combining it with a record company. ”

“One thing?” Claude shows his curiosity, "could you tell me? ”

“Of course, I was going to tell you," Adrian nodded, "you know, if a record company wants to grow, it needs the support of a sleeve singer. But now the slightly more famous singers are divided up by other record companies, and if they can't dig it up, they can only cultivate it themselves. But it wasn't easy to cultivate myself, and although people could go to the streets or bars to find it, it wasn't enough, so I thought maybe I could come up with a reserve for another record company. ”

“Well... can you be specific?” Claude continued.

“Well, for example, I know something because my relationship with Dinis is good now. They set up a Mickey Mouse Club a few years ago to recruit and train some 8-9 year-olds, sign up to be the club's actors when appropriate, and then go everywhere to perform, sing, and be on TV. Recently, however, it has been heard that the show is now going downhill, and if it doesn't get better in the next few months, there is a good chance that it will be cut off, so the little actors will probably be demobilized. So, I thought maybe we could use this opportunity to dig up a couple of great little guys, and think about it, Claude, they're professionally trained, they've got stage experience, and it's much better than a complete new recruit, and maybe we can build a pop day out of it than Madonna did.” The Adrian tone was stirred up, except for a slightly less perceptible strange smile in the corner of his mouth.

“Sounds good.” Claude thought about it and said, "But as you said, it's not certain that if this Mickey Mouse Club were to be popular, it would continue, would it? ”

“Of course, I'm just giving you an example. Without Disney and other companies, we can focus on this information. Adrian waved,“ The most important thing is to acquire a record company to prepare for the future. ”

“Yeah, you said I did anyway.” Claude sighed.

“Stop complaining, Claude, you're having fun.” Adrian Haha smiled, "Okay, I'm leaving, I'll see you sometime - of course, I remember I owe you dinner, I won't forget. ”

Shortly after coming out of the golf club, the sports car drove onto the highway, and Adrian dropped the shed and felt the cool breeze blowing across the street. His mood was generally pleasant, and Claude gave him a very big surprise, which made him more confident that they would succeed. Although the ensuing discussion of the acquisition of the television network had been somewhat depressing, it had quickly been adjusted. It was normal that, although he had been reborn and had considerable advantages, it did not mean that what he wanted would be gained, but that everything would have to be fought for in order to keep him calm and rational at all times in order to maximize his benefits.

Whether it's ABC or BS, let's wait until we get enough information. Adrian in the car thought silently. Though he has a heart preference for bs. As for the record company, there's at least a few months left before Claude gets everything ready, huh, Mickey Mouse Club...

About 20 minutes later, Adrian returned to his villa and, after greeting Mrs. Galen, who was busy in the front room, left her coat and headed straight for the kitchen.

“Smells good, but it doesn't taste good.” He leaned on the doorstep and smiled and looked at his busy figure in front of the kitchen table.

“You can choose not to drink.” Kate turned around and took a whiff of him.

“How can that be, it was specially cooked for me, and I even pushed out the invitation to dinner for Crowe.” Adrian smiled behind Kate and took a deep breath in her hair behind her waist and limbs.

“You still taste better than that.” His tongue was doubly emotional.

Kate was going to give him another white-eyed one, and when she left her mouth open, she asked another question: “Is my soup really bad? ”

“Not so good, but not so bad,” Adrian kissed her ear beads, "it's already good to be able to do this, after all, you can't be in school every day, like me, always have the opportunity to practice in the kitchen. ”

“But it's always weird...” Kate flattens her mouth and sighs, "and the food you make is special. ”

She suddenly came up with something to look back at: "But Mrs. Galen said she had never seen you busy in the kitchen before. ”

“Idiot, do I need to go into the kitchen while she's home?” Adrian Haha laughed and didn't see any other emotions in it, "Well, if that makes you uncomfortable, I'll just compliment you in the future. ”
