Chapter 389 Shocked! One by one
Mergers and acquisitions are always the fastest way for enterprises to grow and grow.
Looking at Internet technology companies such as Microsoft and Cisco, they have all grown rapidly through a series of means such as mergers and acquisitions.
The same goes for Hollywood film companies!
Universal, Disney, Paramount, Columbus, Warner, and 20th Century Fox are called the six major Hollywood companies, none of which are purely production companies. They are under their jurisdiction to produce, publish, music, books, television, radio, peripherals, cinemas, games, publishing and other comprehensive industries.
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group currently has multiple subsidiaries such as Jinshuguang Music, TV Group, Jinshuguang Publishing, Game Company, etc.
However, in terms of the number of subsidiaries and the comprehensive size, Zhu Ke is still far behind compared to the six major Hollywood companies!
But now it's different!
In today's economic downturn, whoever holds enough cash will be the master!
Zhu Ke had a lot of cash, so he naturally had to take advantage of the opportunity to start the road of mergers and acquisitions. In just one month, he acquired several film and television companies, which shocked other Hollywood companies.
Miramax.
It is a film and television production company under the Disney Group, and Disney holds an absolute controlling stake in Miramax Pictures, which makes Harvey Weinstein, the founder and chairman of Miramax, quite dissatisfied.
"Why is Disney?"
"If I hadn't been the Oscar champion, I was a frequent winner in Oscars, and made movies with little fame become popular movies that were once famous, how could I make so much money every year?"
"But, look, what did Disney treat me now?"
"A bunch of bastards actually want to weaken my power!"
"Not only that, we will also hold a board meeting and remove my position as chairman. Bastard, have they forgotten that I am the founder of Miramax!"
Harvey Weinstein was indignant and repeatedly cursed Disney in the office for more than ten minutes.
a long time.
Bob Weinstein, as Harvey's brother, said quietly: "Have you seen the news these days?"
"You mean Juke Wald?" Harvey was shocked immediately.
"That's right!"
Bob said in a deep voice: "In addition to the six majors, the only existence that can be located in the next level of theirs is the old and immortal MGM Pictures, hoping to break the six monopoly DreamWorks, but now? As Juke Wald began to acquire major film and television companies on a large scale, it is obvious that it will take no long before Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group will become an existence in this level, even surpassing MGM and DreamWorks."
Harvey nodded heavily, his heart full of envy.
Why doesn’t he want to start the acquisition path?
However, his lead was the Disney Group, which ruled Hollywood, which made him constrained and hindered everywhere and could not make a decision.
"Oh~"
After a long time, Harvey Weinstein sighed and said, "It's also a big blame for not being able to withstand the temptation of Disney at the beginning, otherwise we wouldn't be so depressed now, with constraints and constraints everywhere."
Today's Wald Pictures is like a wild horse running freely.
The factor limiting the rapid development of Wald Pictures is not money, but the lack of manpower and talent. But... Now Zhu Ke has acquired several film and television companies!
Once the integration is completed, the production capabilities of Wald Pictures [Liangcheng www.lcds.info] will be qualitatively improved.

Hollywood was shocked again after Zucker acquired several film and television companies.

Completely sensational in the entire television field!
"In other words, the number of affiliated TV stations under Zhuke has reached 20 in one fell swoop?" A senior TV man exclaimed.
"That's right!"
A TV executive said in a deep voice: "Originally, Zuckerwald's TV Group had 11 affiliated TV stations, second only to the four major public TV networks of nbc, abc, cbs, and fox. Although it is not as good as these four major public TV networks, the gap is narrowing."
nbc TV network has 251 affiliated TV stations across the United States;
Disney's ABC TV network has 210 affiliated TV stations;
CBS has 209 affiliated TV stations;
Well, even fox TV Network, one of the four major public TV networks that was established at the latest, has 29 large affiliated TV stations.
The TV group under Jinshuguang Entertainment Group is second only to them!
“Four major public television networks?”
"No!"
"It should be called the five major public television networks now!"
"Juke Wald's TV Group now has 20 affiliated TV stations, only 9 fewer than fox TV network. How can it not be called the fifth largest public TV network?!"
The entire TV industry was almost in full swing.
People in the TV field are all talking about it today.
Shocked, shocked, amazement, envy...
All kinds of emotions are different.
The four major public TV networks of nbc, abc, cbs, and fox are feeling the pressure and are overwhelmed!
Since this day, WB TV network, among the TV groups under Zucker, has been called the fifth largest public TV network.
However...this is just the beginning!!!
The TV field across the United States has not been shocked for a few days, and another big news comes one after another!
[Zuke spent $1.2 billion to buy the Comcast shares held by Microsoft.]

"Really fake?"
"Man, that's Comcast!"
"Damn it!"
"Zhuke's WB TV network, as a public television network, has just merged with 9 local TV stations and became the fifth largest public TV network in the United States. But now? It has invested in Caconst. Doesn't it mean that Zuke's Upn TV network has also made comprehensive progress in the field of cable TV?!"
The whole of the United States was shocked!
wb TV network has become the fifth largest public TV network;
Upn TV Network, after Zucker acquires stake in Comcast, will inevitably become stronger in the field of cable TV.
The name of "Little Television Emperor" has been mentioned by countless media again.
