Chapter 328 Mergers Never Stop
"Some newspapers should transform, and Hollywood's status also needs the help of some public opinion to develop and grow."
Sheffield has always been very concerned about Hollywood, a container that can only be fed by me. Good movies also need excellent public opinion to increase their popularity. He made a detailed comparison of the conflicts between Hearst Media and his media.
The merger of mergers, the transformation of transformation, "I want the citizens of our country to think of images of handsome men and beauties when they think of Hollywood, and let everyone know that this is a place where dreams come true."
"Boss, is the media so important?" David Griffiths was waiting for an answer with questions. He didn't know much about the power of the media, at least not fully.
"You underestimated the power of the media!" Sheffield said softly. He felt that David Griffiths may still have some bad habits in his heart that are not afraid of deep alleys. This is definitely a mistake.
The power of the media is naturally as Sheffield knows. I can only feed shit for shit! But this is only part of the role. For ordinary citizens, the power of the media is also great. And with the advancement of science
, its power will only become more and more powerful for ordinary people, and short videos are also part of the power of media.
Being able to tear a hole in the Internet from the hands of two giants, the viral expansion of short videos caught everyone off guard, and also created a large number of Internet celebrities! One Internet celebrity has little influence, and a large number of Internet celebrities
Red has really changed the living habits of many people.
"You have to let others know about Hollywood's unique status in the United States. This is more useful than me using patent law to chase people's butts and file lawsuits. If I use patent law to do this, it will only weaken Hollywood's status." Sheffield did not panic.
He said hurriedly, "What we need is for citizens to think that when they think of Hollywood, that's where good movies come from."
If you use patent law to chase down filmmakers, it is likely to be the same as Edison did in history. Instead of killing competitors, it will promote the emergence of a resistance alliance. This kind of gain outweighs the loss and must be avoided.
Patent trolls also need to distinguish between fields. In an entertainment industry like this, it is too difficult to be a patent troll and it is not worth it.
If it is in the aircraft field, it will be very worthwhile. Currently, United Aircraft Company is recruiting talents from the entire United States to work for itself. It is natural to negotiate at the beginning. If the negotiations cannot be reached, then United Aircraft Company will have to let this person know what the entire country means.
Everything that can fly is my decision.
However, United Aircraft Company does not interfere with private exploration of aviation, but it cannot use it for profit. This ensures that it does not interfere with private individuals' hobby of flying, and at the same time protects their own interests. As long as some actions that cross the line are not too excessive,
United Aircraft Corporation will tolerate it.
You cannot maintain a high-pressure attitude towards everything, and Sheffield is not that kind of person. Even for most merger and acquisition projects, he will keep the founding team to continue to work.
Sheffield has been fighting against public opinion for a whole year, and looking back now, he can say that he won. From the black issue to the issue of defeating his competitors, he won. This year was definitely not in vain.
Now that he is the owner of the largest media group in the United States, he should make good use of this group and do something. Before leaving California, Sheffield decided to make up for the New Orleans World Expo promised to Anne.
This is an era of rapid change, mainly due to the impact of the second industrial revolution. This impact is far greater than the past several thousand years of human history combined.
The second industrial revolution greatly promoted the development requirements of productivity and had a profound impact on the economy, politics, culture, military, science and technology, and productivity of human society. The core point of the social changes caused by the second industrial revolution
It is "electricity". Practical generators came out. The invention of electric motors realized the interchange of electrical energy and mechanical energy. Subsequently, electrical products such as electric lights, trams, electric drills, and electric welders sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
At present, of course, the main influence is on later generations, countries called imperialist countries. The United States, where Sheffield is located, although not recognized by some old-style imperialists, is also a member of the imperialist family.
However, for some other countries that are one step behind, this era is a very cruel era. In this era, catching up with this word is not as easy as just talking about it.
If Sheffield takes the Ottomans, India and the Qing Dynasty as examples, these big countries that were famous in the agricultural era will not be able to catch up even if they work hard from now on. Even if they are given fifty more years to start reforms fifty years ago, they will not be able to catch up.
How long did it take for the Republic to do literacy work alone, and how long did it take for a country modeled on the ancient empire?
Not to mention that when these countries were reforming, Europe and the United States were still experiencing a technological explosion, and new theories were constantly emerging. Even if these countries sent overseas students to study, they would return home after completing their studies, and they would not have handed them over to other nationals.
At that time, we are faced with the embarrassment of falling behind in the knowledge we have learned.
The Republic has been making rapid progress and the reason why the United States is at a loss is also because more than a hundred years later, the technological explosion has ended, and the United States cannot find a field that can suddenly leave all competitors behind.
"Time is tight this year, and I was chased and bitten by some manure diggers. I didn't do what I promised you, but I will not forget my promise. I will definitely host the World Expo in New Orleans this year!" Returning to Arlington Manor,
Sheffield found some free time and began to get tired of Annie again.
"My dear, you are really thoughtful!" Anne said with a dignified look on her face, and spoke in a ladylike manner, "I'm actually more interested in the question of how many women you have outside."
"I'm a man outside, so I need it for my health!" Old Sheffield blushed. He knew that his explanation was completely morally untenable, so he changed the subject and said, "Aren't we talking about the World Expo?"
"Oh, yes! Talk about the World Expo!" Anne did not continue to pester. As the daughter of a nobleman, she understood that this matter was actually very difficult to handle. In her growth experience, she had already heard about the mistress culture of the French aristocracy.
Ran, knowing that men are absolutely incorrigible on this point, said that it was okay to say that he knew.
Moreover, for the sake of his own happiness, Sheffield actually planned to build an World Expo. The efforts he made were enough to impress people. Naturally, it was hard for Anne to say anything on this issue.
Regarding the theme of the World Expo, Sheffield wanted to name it after the American Century, but Anne felt that this theme was too hateful, so she objected, "If you just want to attract some alliance companies and entertain yourself in the country, use
There is nothing wrong with the theme of the American Century. If you want to be more influential, it is better not to use this theme. In the eyes of some European citizens, the United States is a challenger, while in the eyes of some Latin American countries, the United States is a bully.
.”
"Huh?" Sheffield nodded to show that he understood. This situation of neither up nor down seemed familiar to him. Isn't this the Republic in the eyes of the Five Eyes Alliance and the Republic in the eyes of neighboring countries?
Anne still hoped that the Expo would be more lively and not become a stage for self-entertainment, and the theme could not be made objectionable. In fact, this was an annoying political correctness in Sheffield's eyes, but in this era, external performance
It should be softer. Even African warlords know about democratic republics, so it makes sense to pay attention to it.
"The core application of this World Expo is electricity! At that time, the World Expo will focus on the convenience of electricity in society. I will talk about this with Mr. Tesla and use a vivid example to prove this point." Sheffield already has
I have a general idea. Tesla is undoubtedly a leader in the field of electric power. Even if the time is extended for a hundred years, his achievements in the field of electric power can only be compared with that of King Thunder and Lightning.
Tesla just understood that electricity can bring convenience to people, while the King of Thunder and Lightning told people that they are both leaders in their respective fields.
"Take the opportunity to launch the household appliances you plan? You enter new areas every year. You have to be careful. Isn't it a bit too much?" Anne knew that her slave owner was a very greedy person, otherwise it would not be possible.
We will abandon the trust model that emerged in the United States and choose Concern, which originated in Germany, to continue to expand in all walks of life.
Sheffield has been thinking about household appliances for more than a day or two. Anne has been in Arlington since graduation and has begun to help Mrs. Anna deal with some things. Naturally, she is well aware of this.
Just in the past few years, the number of industries that have been continuously involved in has reached a worrying level. Anne doesn't know how long this expansion can last, but she always feels that the risks are relatively high.
"The last one, don't worry! I will plan carefully this time and won't rush across banks again." Sheffield made a surrender gesture. He did not know how many times he had vowed to make it clear that he would seek stability in the future.
"Okay, you just need to know!" Annie sighed leisurely. She was sure that this man should be the one who hadn't listened yet.
Since it is to report on the World Expo, Sheffield will naturally use all the strength of the United Company. What a good advertising opportunity this is, and the life that should be in the new century should be condensed into the World Expo.
Sheffield, who was formulating the plan, suddenly raised his head and threw away Anne's advice half an hour ago, "It would be great if I could acquire a shipyard that manufactures warships!"
