As the acquisition of Toho Co., Ltd. is of great importance and involves billions of dollars, Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Film Company, personally went to Japan to preside over the acquisition!

Toho Co., Ltd. was formed by the merger of Tokyo Takarazuka Theater Company and Toho Film Company in 1943, and established modern luxury theaters and movie theaters throughout the country. [Full text reading...] The most famous theaters in Tokyo are owned by Toho, such as Japan’s first Western-style theater "Imperial Theater". In addition, Dongbao has 350 theaters!

Toho Co., Ltd. is a company with a complete industrial chain integrating production, distribution and cinema! At this point, Japan is different from the United States, because American film companies cannot own American theaters!

In addition, Toho Co., Ltd. is also the initiator of Japan's Fuji Television Station, which is also one of the shareholders. Relying on its relationship with Fuji TV and its own advantages, Toho, its subsidiary, Toho Arts, has rapidly developed into one of Japan's most influential brokerage companies.

It can be said that Toho Corporation's influence in the Japanese entertainment industry is very important!

When the news that Galaxy Films wanted to buy Toho Co., Ltd. spread to Japan, it immediately caused panic among the entire Japanese film company.

"The Asahi Shimbun" reported: "Hollywood movie giants point to the Japanese market!"

"Yomiuri Shimbun" reported: "Sony's acquisition of Columbia Films in the United States in the past greatly inspired the Japanese people! But now, the Yankees are coming back!!!"

Many Japanese people marched and demonstrated, calling on the Japanese government to intervene and prevent Galaxy Films from acquiring Toho Co., Ltd.!

"Refuse to buy!"

"We ask the government to stop the acquisition of Galaxy Films!"

The Japanese are too naive and too cheap. Can Sony buy the Columbia Film Company of the United States, but not allow the American Film Company to buy your Japanese film company?

There was a lot of movement in this demonstration. Hundreds of people gathered in Tokyo, and even American newspapers carried special reports.

Is there any problem with this? Just a few days after the news that Galaxy Films was preparing to acquire Dongbao, people organized demonstrations. To say that there is no tricky behind this, no one instigates, who believes it? There must be someone who does not want Galaxy Films to acquire Toho Co., Ltd...

Who will these people be?

The acquisition of Toho Co., Ltd. was simply bad luck for other film companies in Japan. Because after the acquisition of Dongbao, they are about to face a more powerful opponent, and they have no confidence to fight against Galaxy Films!

Galaxy Films is gaining momentum. Last year, 4 films accounted for the top four in the global box office, which is unprecedented.

No matter which company it is, it is timid to face such a movie giant!

Therefore, the Japanese film companies united to generate momentum and prevented the Galaxy Film Company from entering Japan, which is justified!

What is the attitude of the Japanese government?

Of course, the Japanese government has to favor Japanese film companies. The government officials of the relevant departments said in front of the media that Toho Co., Ltd. is a film company with a long history in Japan. It has a huge influence and does not allow foreign acquisitions!

This statement immediately brought the negotiations between Galaxy Films and Toho Co., Ltd. to a standstill.

Bobby Robin should even call Henry to report the situation to him.

Henry is now preparing for the listing of the Internet company under his name. After receiving a call from Bobby Robin and listening to him talk about the difficult situation encountered in the negotiation process, Henry suddenly fell silent.

The intervention of the Japanese government is indeed a bit tricky.

He rubbed the sun x, thinking.

The phone still didn't hang up, and Bobby Robin knew that Henry was thinking, so he waited quietly for Henry's order.

"Robin," Henry said, "The acquisition of Toho Co., Ltd. has been delayed, and I will find a solution as soon as possible!"

"Let’s take the next step and buy another company first! After I solve the Japanese government’s problems, we will purchase Toho Co., Ltd.!"

Bobby Robin asked, "Chairman, which company do we buy now?"

"Ghibli Animation Studio," Henry said, "This is a company specializing in the production of animated films. One of the company's founders is the famous Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki!!! Toho is good at making TV cartoons. , Ghibli Animation Studio is good at making animated films, and the two complement each other! Since Toho Co., Ltd. cannot be taken for the time being, then we will take Ghibli Animation Studio first! Remember, you must keep Hayao Miyazaki!! !"

Hayao Miyazaki is a legend in the Japanese animation industry. Without him, the Japanese animation industry would be eclipsed! It can be said that Hayao Miyazaki's name and his Studio Ghibli are synonymous with Japanese animation! The animation he directed is the only important force in Asia that can fight against Disney and DreamWorks!

As a person in the industry, Bobby Robin obviously also knows something about Ghibli Animation Studios and Hayao Miyazaki. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Chairman, Hayao Miyazaki is indeed an individual talent. We will definitely keep him. of!"

After receiving instructions from Henry, Bobby Robin temporarily stopped negotiations with Toho Corporation and turned to the acquisition of Ghibli Animation Studios. Ghibli Animation Studios was established in 1986. Although the company has been established for a short time, since its establishment, excellent works have appeared frequently and it has become the most dazzling star among Japanese animation film companies!

Bobby Robin was resolute and resolute, and the next day he sent someone to Ghibli Animation Studio to formally make a purchase request.

"Mr. Miyazaki, hello, I’m Hank Ali, the representative of Galaxy Films. I now formally represent Galaxy Films to make an acquisition request to Ghibli Animation Studios! Galaxy Films intends to spend 120 million U.S. dollars Acquired 70% of Ghibli Animation Studio’s shares. At the same time, after completing the acquisition, we will launch an equity incentive plan and use 10% of the shares to reward employees like you who have made great contributions to the company. !"

Hank Ally said, “Once Ghibli Animation Studio is incorporated into Galaxy, it will not only receive financial support, but also technical support. For Ghibli Animation Studio, it is beneficial and harmless! Mr. Miyazaki, please think about it!"

Miyazaki nodded and said, "Mr. Hank Ali, we will seriously consider it!"

"Well, then I'll come back in three days, and then we will be talking in detail!" Hank Alli smiled and said goodbye to Hayao Miyazaki.

...

Henry is sending people to lobby the US government to put pressure on Japan.

Henry contacted U.S. President Clinton and dozens of U.S. congressmen to unite their forces to hold a small meeting in the United States. The main content of the meeting was naturally the issue of Japan's intervention in Galaxy Films' acquisition of Toho Corporation. Soon afterwards, the US diplomatic spokesperson said very strongly:

"The acquisition of Toho Corporation by Galaxy Films is a normal commercial merger and acquisition, and the Japanese government cannot interfere!!!"

"If the Japanese government wants to intervene ~lightnovelpub.net~ then we have to ask Sony to spit out Columbia Pictures!!!"

Damn it, it’s something I’m going to do, Sony’s innocent lie down with a gun, it’s like crying.

Soon, Sony issued a statement righteously, clarifying the relationship: "The Japanese government really should not interfere in normal commercial mergers and acquisitions casually!"

This is a good one, the Japanese government was stabbed in the back by Sony!

Besides, even the American "dad" is letting go, what can the Japanese government do? Can it still fly to the sky? In the end, the Japanese government did not dare to say a word, ignored the acquisition of Toho by Galaxy Film Company, and pretended not to know!

As a result, Galaxy Film Company restarted its acquisition of Toho Co., Ltd.!

After Henry got the news, a sneer of disdain appeared on his face: "The Japanese government is very good*, right? You have to pretend to be a grandson in front of the American government!"
