    As Thanksgiving approaches, turkey is usually served on the table, as well as cranberry jam, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, homemade bread, and various vegetables and fruits.  But this Thanksgiving in 2004 is not destined to be easy for some people.  Just when the outside world was commenting on Chen Tiandu's gloating, an unexpected news suddenly shocked the whole world: "The matrix that has been rumored to be a "bite" To be precise, it was just Chen Tiandu who suddenly launched a counterattack  , announced a simultaneous counter-takeover of Paramount and a full acquisition of DreamWorks. "The offer for Viacom Group, the parent company of Paramount, has not yet been announced, but the acquisition of DreamWorks is real.  Real swords and guns.  The offer for DreamWorks is as high as US$3 billion, and they are also willing to assume all the debts of DreamWorks Production Company. They also announced that they have acquired DreamWorks including more than 50% of the shares of DreamWorks Animation on the market. If necessary, they  Acquisitions will continue.  This share already occupies 13% of the total shares of DreamWorks, enough to be a shareholder.  And took this opportunity to formally launch a full acquisition of DreamWorks, including the most profitable DreamWorks Animation Company.  As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Hollywood.  The news also spread to the world at an extremely fast speed.  Not only did they not restrain themselves, but they intensified their efforts, targeting Paramount Pictures, the real giant in Hollywood. At the same time, they also participated in the DreamWorks acquisition case that competed with Universal and Paramount "My  Oh my God!¡± The media suddenly became excited, ¡°It¡¯s really a blockbuster.¡± ¡°Haha, the money-grabbing Chinese are angry!¡± Almost all mainstream media in China rushed to report this.  A message.  Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also paid close attention to the report.  This acquisition is also related to Matrix completely getting rid of its hat as an independent production company and moving towards a giant company; it is also related to a company in China becoming a global giant.  Perhaps more domestic films will enter the North American market through this channel in the future.  Japan¡¯s Sony once acquired a Colombian company. Over the years, it has often used Colombia¡¯s name to invest in China.  At major award ceremonies such as the Hong Kong Film Awards, Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, etc., you will definitely hear this sentence: "Thank you Columbia" In fact, it is thanking the Japanese, but by putting the Colombian brand on it, it immediately transformed into the United States.  Boss.  Make you less resistant.  They came to China with great fanfare to make money, waving banknotes and criticizing Chinese movies, such as "No plots that slander Japan's image should appear", "Peace between China and Japan, it's wrong for you to criticize the Japanese", "Anti-Japanese War movies, sorry, we will not invest", etc.  wait.  But most people are too angry to speak out, and the media rarely reports on it.     Why?  It's because Sony bought Columbia.  It can be imagined that in this era of the rise of domestic films, Matrix suddenly launched an acquisition case against giants, which had a huge impact on domestic media.  Yahoo Entertainment News.  Commenting on this matter, the report said: "When Paramount clamored to acquire Matrix, the whole world almost forgot. The boss of Matrix is ??a rich man. There is a saying in China that a tiger's butt cannot be touched. This move  Undoubtedly, he touched the tiger's butt. This top tycoon is still very young, and his blood has not yet been wiped out. If you go to beat up the drowned dog, he will stab you back in a big way, and this stab will immediately make Paramount unbearable.  Matrix may not be tempted by Paramount's acquisition, but will Paramount be tempted by Matrix's acquisition" Whether Paramount is tempted or not is not yet known, but DreamWorks is already tempted.  They held an emergency board meeting to discuss the acquisition.  A special team was set up to negotiate with the matrix team.  Unknowingly, most of their stocks had been acquired, and they didn't know anything about it. This was really incredible, and it was also a huge blow to DreamWorks. They were sent to the stake.  Fortunately, the three giants are already at odds with each other. DreamWorks will be sold sooner or later, but they just have a different buyer.  Peck is very proud of himself at this moment. During this period, it seems that every wealthy person in Hollywood is clamoring to acquire Matrix, but no one has taken any action.  Now my boss can choke his opponent's throat as soon as he moves. It's so exciting!  He led the team in a relaxed mood to start negotiations with the DreamWorks team.  On Saturday, "The Hollywood Reporter" first gave a comprehensive interpretation of this acquisition: "Are you still discussing when Chen Tiandu can break Spielberg's box office king's throne? You are out, and now Chen Tiandu will soon.  I am going to become the new boss of DreamWorks" The main content of the text states: After acquiring DreamWorks, Matrix Group will obtain the copyright of all DreamWorks content.    The valuation of DreamWorks Production Company is about 1 billion. The valuation of DreamWorks Animation is currently with the sales of the "Shrek" series, and its market value has exceeded 1.5 billion, and is still rising.  ¡°But the acquisition offer of US$3 billion can also be paid in cash, which is enough to make the three major shareholders of DreamWorks excited.  Commenting on the timing of the acquisition, observer Gerhard Fasol, CEO of boutique consulting firm eurotehnology, said: "Now is a good time to acquire because the current valuation of DreamWorks is quite low." Fasol added:  "From the perspective of Matrix, the group hopes to obtain more content, and the acquisition of DreamWorks will bring more content to it. In particular, the joint acquisition of DreamWorks Animation can vigorously promote the lag of Matrix in the animation industry. DreamWorks Production  The integration of the department will also increase the annual film production of Matrix. Tony Wyber, an analyst at the US securities rating agency Janney Montgerysott, also said in the report: "Chen Tiandu's targeting of DreamWorks did not start with this acquisition.  , when we look at the previous news, it is not difficult to find that he has actually started to switch to DreamWorks long ago.  Downey, who was Chen Tiandu's financial manager at the time, explained that it was just a normal business investment, but now it seems that it is obviously more than that.  They had already started preparing for this work years ago, and perhaps had planned it even earlier.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paramount gave up the acquisition of DreamWorks, and The Matrix suddenly came out. It was the best time.  "He has always been sober. Wise people know that any issue of information security leakage can only exist in the questioning stage. If the security of network user registration information is really ensured, then he may be even more untrustworthy than Chen Tiandu himself.  Without any legal basis, it is illegal to force him to reduce his stake in Google. " Steve Spielberg of Northlake Capital Management also publicly responded to the media, saying: "Due to DreamWorks' poor management, growth is weak.  , so it makes sense to sell to Matrix. I think it's interesting that the new owner of DreamWorks is not a giant Hollywood company in the traditional sense. I have thought about DreamWorks and Lionsgate, and even Matrix may be developing into something.  At some point, it was about to be acquired, but Matrix stood out. He successfully withstood the pressure, gained a foothold with enviable performance, and grew bigger step by step. That was also my dream now someone has done it.¡±  Chen Tiandu still didn't show up. He just updated his ae wave and wrote a long professional analysis document analyzing the future informatization.  "The film and television industry in the future will definitely be a world of the Internet." "Video websites, smartphones, mobile Internet, tablet computers will all come out one by one. Just imagine if your mobile phone can surf the Internet like a computer, and it will be easier to make calls and  When making friends, taking photos, shooting videos, and uploading videos, almost everyone will have a camera. What era will that be, and how rich and colorful will the video content be? " "The digital age will come, and the digital sales of music will come.  It will exceed the sales of physical records. Because it is easier to watch and listen to one season of popular dramas every year, people will not be satisfied with all the existing movies and TV series.  , technology companies will be more favored by media studios. It will be a world with fragmented content. Maybe there will be such a website that provides live video shows. You can sit in front of your computer at home and only use the Internet to show.  "How to eat, you can gain a large number of fans and a lot of money." "This is not a distant science fiction movie. Maybe it is happening around you, but you don't know it yet. For example, I know, Andy Rubin.  They have been committed to developing a smart operating system for mobile phones to enable mobile phones to surf the Internet like computers. They have also implemented this operating system, and there will soon be a physical mobile phone that will be a real work of art and will cause a stir.  A sensation all over the world, and all existing non-smart mobile phones will be eliminated. The mobile phone giants will be shuffled, and the laggards will be eliminatedAhem, that's a long way off. " "In short, the acquisition of DreamWorks is not just about expanding production.  Simple, we will move towards more original content" His words caused huge discussion in the industry.  Everyone knows that the mobile operating system introduced by Chen Tiandu in the article has been acquired by him, and he has begun the research and development of smart phones.  He mentioned the concept of a ¡°content fragmented world¡±, which was recognized by his peers.  Just after taking office, Apple¡¯s EO approved it because they also started to study the Apple mobile phone business.  "I very much agree with the concept of a fragmented content world. A more comfortable, convenient, and faster intelligent world will definitely dominate the future. But I strongly condemn what Chen Tiandu himself has done. This is unfair competition.  I want to warn you that it is impossible to dig out the core of Apple through this method.?.  " "?  ?  ?  "Three question marks floated over the heads of netizens. What's wrong with Steve Jobs? When did Chen Tiandu offend this great master again? Isn't he making his own cartoon? "Oh, it turns out that he was talking about 2001 due to the release of  The re-emergence of Apple with the mp3 player iPod (To be continued)
