"We can make initial contact with two companies at the same time, without going too deep, just as collecting intelligence. Then we will find opportunities to communicate and analyze. As you said, we need time and patience." Adrian An finally said that, although he didn't completely give up the plan of acquisition, he had actually started to favor TBS in his heart.

Claude is right, their foundation is still too shallow, although they are delicious, the risk is not so great, although he believes that if the uncle and godfather can support them 100%, even if it really happens that what Claude said Those problems can also be overcome. But these supports can be repeated but not repeated, especially that old-fashioned uncle...so these supports should be used where they are needed more.

In comparison, TBS is indeed much cheaper, so saving a lot of money can also ensure subsequent development, not to mention having the CNN brand. Moreover, if a broadcasting company like TBS is developed to the level of the four major broadcasting companies, the sense of accomplishment will definitely not be much less than saving.

Of course, there is a more important point that Adrian found some things related to TBS in his memory. According to the original trajectory, Turner Broadcasting Company will be acquired by Warner in 1996, and then merge with a television network under CBS after entering the 21st century to become the fifth largest television network in the United States. Well, this is not the key point. The key point is that it was acquired by Warner after 1995. This year seems to be nothing special to others, but it is quite different in the eyes of Adrian. Claude does not think that they developed The time is too short, so there are not many good results? As long as 95 years pass, this problem will be solved and the acquisition will be relatively smooth.

So Adrian agreed to Claude's suggestion. They really need patience and time. Anyway, as long as they pay attention at any time, even if other situations arise, they will not be too far out of control.

"That's it." Claude said and raised the coffee cup, but he stopped halfway, he looked into the cup and said seriously: "I've drank too much coffee, I think I should Grab some wine and congratulate us on reaching a consensus."

"Forget it, if you drink alcohol, you will be like me when you can't even find the right direction when you swing." Adrian said with a smile, it seems that because he solved some problems, his mood has become better. few.

"It's okay, even so, you don't want to win me," Claude shrugged, "Don't forget, you still have two dinners."

"I know, I won't forget." Adrian shook his head funny, stood up after looking at the sky: "But not today, the time is almost up, what should be talked about has already been talked about, I should also gone back."

"Someone is waiting for you at home, right?" Claude said jokingly, judging from his expression, he seemed to want to say something, but after Adrian snorted, he closed his mouth and shrugged.

"By the way, Crowe, there is one more thing." Adrian thought of something at this moment, "Since the acquisition of the TV network is not urgent, then we can take another small step of expansion."

"A small expansion step?" Claude looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Of course, the media's several subsidiaries, whether it's a brokerage company or a publishing company, are doing well, so there should be no problem with a small expansion, isn't it?" Adrian said with a smile.

Although the agent company failed to recruit Willis' agents in the end, the agents of Samuel Jackson and John Travolta did join in, and they not only serve Jackson and Travolta At the same time, there are also several actors, including two or three people who are not well-known at present. In addition, the agent company already has several actors of the same type. As long as the arrangements are made over time, the agent The company's prospects are definitely promising.

As for the publishing company, "Tomb Raider" released in early April sold better than expected. Readers of popular novels are already tired of male explorers, so the female version of Indiana Jones is very eye-catching . Due to various reasons, the quality of this novel is only between first-rate and second-rate, so after causing a brief upsurge, it soon subsided, but the development of the publishing company became more and more stable because of this.

Of course, there is no need to mention the film company.

"Don't forget, you still owe me a brokerage company, Ed." Claude reminded at this time.

"You are really fussy, Crowe," Adrian rolled his eyes, "Of course I remember, I won't break my promise, but that's not now, I promise, I can give you the answer in two years at most."

"Two years?" Claude muttered thoughtfully, and then brought the topic back: "Okay, let's go back to the topic of expansion. What do you want to do this time?"

"Buy the record company," Adrian said of his thoughts, "put his hand into the record business."

"Record industry? So fast?" Claude also stood up, shrugging his shoulders noncommittally.

"As I told you, since we are going to be a media company, of course these industries should be involved." Adrian spread his hands.

"Well, I will pay attention, but it will take time." Claude did not refuse.

"I hope it can be done quickly," Adrian said urgently, "Of course, I'm not forcing you, I'm just thinking about one thing, maybe we can combine it with the record company."

"One thing? Combine with the record company." Claude showed a curious look, "Can you tell me?"

"Of course, I was just about to tell you," Adrian nodded, "You know, if a record company wants to develop, it needs the support of established singers. But now those slightly famous singers are all replaced by other records. The company is divided up, and if you can’t dig it out, you can only cultivate it yourself. But self-cultivation is not an easy task. Although people can go to the streets or bars to find it, but this alone is not enough, so I think maybe You can use the idea of ​​backup forces from other record companies."

"Well... can you tell me the specifics?" Claude continued to ask.

"Well, for example, because I have a good relationship with Disney now, I know some things. They set up a Mickey Mouse Club a few years ago, and they recruited some 8- and 9-year-old children to train them. Signed to be an actor in the club, and then went to perform, sing and appear on TV. But recently I heard that this show is going downhill now, if it doesn't improve in the next few months, there is a great possibility of being cut , In this case, those young actors will probably be sent back. So, I think maybe I can take this opportunity to dig out a few outstanding little guys, think about it, Crowe, they have received professional training, have experience The experience of being on stage is much better than a complete rookie, maybe we can also cultivate a pop queen comparable to Madonna from it." Adrian's tone was provocative, but there was an imperceptible and weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Sounds pretty good." Claude said after thinking about it, "But you also said, it's not certain, if this... Mickey Mouse Club is popular, then it will continue to exist, won't it?"

"Of course, I just gave an example. There are other companies without Disney. We can pay attention to the information in this area." Adrian waved his hand and said, "The most important thing is to acquire a record company to prepare for the future. "

"Yeah, you told me to do it anyway." Claude sighed teasingly.

"Stop complaining, Crowe, you obviously enjoyed it." Adrian laughed, "Okay, I'm leaving, let's get together when you have time—of course, I remember the dinner I owe you, I don't will forget."

After the sports car came out of the golf club, it drove onto the road quickly. Adrian put down the carport and felt the cool wind blowing in front of him. His mood is generally very happy, and Claude gave him a very big surprise, which made him more convinced that they will succeed. Although the ensuing discussion about the acquisition of the TV network was a bit depressing, he quickly adjusted to it. This kind of thing is normal. Although he was reborn and has a lot of advantages, it doesn't mean that he can get what he wants. Everything has to be fought hard, and keeping calm and rational at all times allows him to obtain the greatest benefit.

Whether it is still TBS, let's wait until we have collected enough information. Adrian, who was driving, thought silently. Although he already favored TBS in his heart. As for the record company, there are still a few months at least, let Claude get everything ready first, hehe, Mickey Mouse Club...

After about 20 minutes, Adrian returned to his villa, and after greeting the busy Mrs. Galen in the front hall, he dropped his coat and went straight to the kitchen.

"It smells good, but it's a pity that the taste is not very good." He leaned against the doorway and looked at the handsome figure who was busy in front of the kitchen counter with a smile.

"You can choose not to drink." Kate turned around and gave him a blank look.

"How can that be? It was specially made for me. I even turned down Crowe's dinner invitation." Adrian came behind Kate with a smile, put his arms around her waist, and put a deep pat on her hair. Take a breath.

"In comparison, your taste is better." He sighed with puns.

Kate originally wanted to give him another roll of the eye, but after curling her lips, she asked another question: "Is the soup I made really bad?"

"It's not good, but it's not bad either." Adrian kissed her earball, "It's pretty good to be able to do this, after all, you are in school every day, you can't be like me, always have Opportunities to practice in the kitchen."

"But it always feels weird..." Kate sighed with her mouth flattened, "And the food you cook is very special."

She suddenly thought of something and turned around: "But Mrs. Galen said that she has never seen you busy in the kitchen before."

"Stupid, do I still need to go into the kitchen when she is at home?" Adrian laughed loudly, without any other emotions in it, "Well, if you feel that this makes you uncomfortable, Then I’ll just praise you from now on.”
