"This is really a great movie. Even if it doesn't need any publicity, it's still qualified to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!" After watching the movie, Harvey Vance took the initiative to find Jia Yapeng and expressed his thoughts.
"Then can I not ask Mr. Vance to help me with the publicity?" Jia Yapeng couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, of course not!" Harvey Vance smiled awkwardly. "It still needs some necessary publicity. Otherwise, if other people publicize more, it will still have an impact."
"Then please name a price. How much is the publicity fee?" Jia Yapeng laughed.
"About three hundred thousand dollars!" Harvey Wynes said.
"No problem!" Boss Jia nodded. He had prepared one million US dollars, but now he only asked for 300,000 US dollars. He felt that he had made a lot of money.
"Actually, it didn't need so much, but I heard that 'The Four Thousand Dollar Lover' also seems to be hiring people to promote it. This is a bit troublesome!" Harvey Vance said to Jia Yapeng, and then added, "Mr. Jia, if there is an accident, this publicity fee has already been spent and can't be returned."
"Of course!" Jia Yapeng nodded. Harvey Vance was relieved this time. He happily took the 300,000 US dollars check from Jia Yapeng and left.
"Is this the darkness of Hollywood?" Ivanka Ivana, who had witnessed all of this, said somewhat indifferently.
"How can this be considered darkness?" Boss Jia smiled slightly. "If it was like 'Farewell, My Concubine', such an excellent film couldn't win an award, then it would be a real pity and darkness."
"But the award should be won with one's own ability, not with money!" It was hard to see that Ivanka Ivana still had a little bit of social morality in her heart, so she insisted.
"If this is an absolutely fair evaluation, then we naturally shouldn't use these tricks!" Jia Yapeng nodded and said, "But the evaluation itself is already unfair, so we have to use some tricks. Otherwise, in a duel where the opponent has a gun and we only have a sword, we will lose without even fighting! "
"Believe it or not, if I hadn't forked out the money this time, the Best Foreign Film Award would have been won by 'The Four Thousand Dollar Lover' instead of 'Farewell My Concubine,'" Jia Yapeng said.
"Why are you so sure?" Ivanka Ivana asked curiously.
"Because my main job in Hua Xia is as a fortune-teller!" Boss Jia said with a smile, while Ivanka Ivana nodded blankly. Because there was no such word in English, Boss Jia translated it as a prophet. This made Ivanka Ivana very puzzled. Could it be that this Boss Jia was a loyal follower?
"Miss Ivanka, would you like to have a seat in my room?" Boss Jia gave a very obvious hint, but unfortunately, Ivanka Ivana was not interested at all. She waved goodbye to Boss Jia, which made Boss Jia shake his head and sleep alone for the night.
Boss Jia did not know that at this time, the board of directors of Qualcomm was having a heated discussion about the acquisition order issued by Boss Jia.
When Qualcomm was first established, it was composed of seven scientists in the field of communications. They believed that in the future, the communications industry would blossom with unprecedented brilliance, and whoever could master the communications technology would control the future.
So these seven scientists gathered together and founded Qualcomm in 1986. Later, Qualcomm went public in 1991. Now, the shares were no longer in the hands of six scientists, but in the hands of many institutions and shareholders.
However, the main shares were still concentrated in the hands of a few forces.
Among them, four of the seven scientists who founded the company still retained a large number of initial shares of Qualcomm Group. They were the current chairman of the high school group, Owen Jacobs, Franklin Antonio, Andrew Cohen, and Harvey White.
The other three scientists either withdrew or sold a large number of shares in their hands, so there were only four scientists who still owned a large number of shares of Qualcomm.
In addition, there were three forces, two of which were large investment funds. In the angel round investment and series A investment, they had invested millions of dollars in Qualcomm, so they also owned a large number of shares.
The remaining one was actually an investment company, but all Hua Xia people were very familiar with this investment company because this company was called SoftBank Group, and its chairman was Sun Zhengyi.
Yes, it was the businessman who had invested in Tencent and Alibaba at the same time. Now, he was also a major shareholder of Qualcomm Group.
The reason why Qualcomm Group immediately held a board meeting to discuss this investor when it received this acquisition order was that Qualcomm's capital chain was about to collapse.
At this time, it was an important period for Qualcomm's destiny. Because Qualcomm's CDMA technology was now facing a situation of hitting walls everywhere.
CDMA technology was called Code Multiple Address Technology in Chinese. As for the specific explanation, it was very long. I believe everyone would not be interested in it.
Simply put, CDMA technology was a kind of 2G technology, which was the standard of the second-generation mobile phone communication technology.
The first generation of mobile phone communication technology, which was the technology used by mobile phones, was actually all the same, and that was the analog communication technology. All mobile phone manufacturers used the same communication technology. There was nothing much to say about this.
But now many communication manufacturers had noticed that the first-generation mobile phone communication technology was about to be outdated, and the world was about to usher in the second-generation mobile phone communication technology with more powerful communication capabilities.
However, unlike the first-generation communication technology that dominated the world, many manufacturers developed different standards and technologies for the second-generation communication technology. At present, the main technologies were divided into five types, namely, GSM, IDEN, IS-136, CDMA, and PDC.
In short, these five technologies were in the hands of different manufacturers, and each manufacturer wanted to promote this technology to become the standard technology used by all mobile phone manufacturers in the world. This was because the R&D company didn't have to do anything. They could just lie down and eat the patents, and they could eat until they were fat.
Among them, CDMA technology belonged to Qualcomm.
However, compared to the other five manufacturers, Qualcomm was the weakest. Therefore, even though their CDMA technology was the first to be proposed and developed as early as 1986, it was not until February this year that it was recognized by the Telecommunications Industry Association of the United States as one of the five major standards. However, it was the last standard to be approved among the five standards.
While other companies had taken their technology to the actual scene for experiments, Qualcomm's technology only existed in the laboratory.
This brought great risk and instability to Qualcomm's investors.
If the development of CDMA technology failed and could not occupy the market, then investors would suffer huge losses of hundreds of millions of dollars. What was worse was that Qualcomm had spent a lot of money because of a lot of research and development and trying to build the first CDMA network experimental area in Hong Kong. The balance on the books was less than 5 million dollars, which was not even enough to pay the company three months' salary.
At this time, the board of directors of Qualcomm was meeting every day, hoping that the major directors could increase investment, but all the directors were very hesitant.
It was not that they did not have money, but if the technology experiment failed or was not recognized by the market, they would have to put out a fire.
Therefore, when these directors saw that someone was willing to invest in Qualcomm and buy Qualcomm's shares, these directors were instantly relieved. They held a meeting on the spot to discuss whether to sell shares and how much to sell.
