Chapter 201: The next step is to swallow the elephant(1/3)
What Abel did to Sony was very effective for Sony.
But what if he uses the same trick against another company that has taken away the Marvel copyright, that is, against Fox?
There is a high probability that the effect will not be so good.
Although at this time, News Corporation had not yet fully integrated into the United States.
But Murdoch and News Corp. have always been trying to integrate into American society.
In addition, Australia is also one of the Five Eyes, and is also of the Angsa race.
The U.S. upper class is not very wary of and concerned about them.
Even to a certain extent, they are the back garden in the eyes of Americans, little brother.
Sony suffers because it is a truly foreign company or a Neon company.
These methods were used against Abel.
Sony simply cannot face it as calmly as Fox.
What's more, at this time, Parker has not fully demonstrated its huge ability to attract money.
The results of previously released superhero comic-book movies have been relatively mediocre.
Sony's emphasis on Spider-Man is actually just that.
Even though I may be injured and may continue to be deceived by the Americans.
Although Sony is very reluctant to part with it, in the end it is estimated that it will have no choice but to give up.
Fox is different.
All other comic book movies have been released, although the box office is mediocre.
But Fox has already incurred sunk costs, and Murdoch will not give up so easily.
The key is that News Corporation has been in the United States for more than 20 years and has become more or less integrated.
Americans have begun to regard them as one of their own.
Sony can't compare to this.
In other words, the same tactics Abel did to Sony.
If used on Fox, it would be greatly reduced.
There is another, more important factor.
Sony Columbia in the United States does not have the support of a media giant's voice channel.
And behind Fox is News Corporation, which can resist the voice initiated by Abel.
And Abel also has a determined mentality towards Spider-Man.
But he was not that interested in the Fantastic Four and X-Men that Fox had taken away.
Abel remembers that the box office of Fantastic Four was all mediocre, and the sound disappeared with every shot.
X-Men can make a little money, but only a little.
Spider-Man is different.
Its own sales and reputation are the boss among Marvel superheroes.
He is the only one on Marvel's side who can compete with Batman on DC's side.
Even in terms of symbolizing American spiritual culture, Spider-Man surpasses Batman.
Mainly because of Parker's diaosi character, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of Americans.
Fits the self-definition image of most ordinary Americans.
Everyone in America wants to be like Spider-Man, who is just an ordinary person, maybe even a little weak.
But at a critical moment, you can transform into Spider-Man
Batman is different.
Although the characters of the super rich are also very attractive, there are only a few super rich people in the United States.
The so-called poor people rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology come from these two "heroes".
In the next few days, Charlize Theron already wanted to leave Hawaii.
But Abel wouldn't let her go. If she left, Abel would have to face two Hesters who were a bit troublesome and not easy to deal with.
In the end, Charlize Theron was kept by Abel until the 25th.
Abel also left Hawaii on January 26, the day after Charlize left.
He went to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles in late January, the average daily maximum temperature is 19℃ and the average daily minimum temperature is 10℃.
This is already the coldest time of the year in Los Angeles.
Looking at another data from Los Angeles, it is the temperature of Los Angeles in August, the hottest month of the year:
The average daily maximum is 25℃ and the average daily minimum is 18℃.
This can be seen from these two data.
It can be said that the weather in Los Angeles is very comfortable all year round.
Perhaps because of his less body hair, Abel is very sensitive to ambient temperature.
This makes him dislike the winter in New York, and he likes to run to Los Angeles when winter comes.
But this is actually the choice of more and more wealthy Americans.
This is one of the reasons why more and more newly wealthy Americans are gathering here in Los Angeles.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Abel didn't stay for two days and went to the Bay Area again.
The weather in the Bay Area is actually more comfortable than in Los Angeles.
Abel went to the Bay Area, and his destination was the ideo company in Palo Alto.
This time he came to Ideo Company and was quite satisfied with the appearance design drawings of future new energy electric vehicles he saw for the second time.
Bill Morgridge, Mike Nutto, Bill Morgridge.
The founders of three ideo companies provided the design drawings this time.
It has allowed Abel to see the prototypes of new energy vehicles in the future.
To today's people, it looks even more technological.
The key is according to the Big Three of IDE.
The shape of this car can be produced with current industrial design and technology.
Just in the beginning, the cost of producing it may be a little more expensive.
But if the output can be expanded and the output can reach a certain level.
The more expensive production costs can also be reduced.
Simply put.
The appearance and shell of the new energy electric vehicle that Abel wanted can already be created.
This made Abel decide that day.
It is going to establish a new energy vehicle company in Palo Alto right away.
The company's name has long been registered throughout the United States.
The name is Tesla, and its full name is Tesla New Energy.
In memory of the famous American physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla.
The company's management personnel and R&D personnel were also quickly put in place.
Because before this, Abel had been expanding his think tank team.
They have already laid all this out for Tesla.
The president of the new company is Jaxter Cage, 40 years old. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1985 and received a doctorate in computer science.
Before becoming CEO of Tesla Inc.
Jaxter Cage works for a startup in Silicon Valley.
That startup company developed a product that puts computers into cars.
The company's slogan is "Bringing intelligence to the tools Americans use the most."
In fact, it is a company that developed early vehicle-machine intelligent systems.
It was last year that the Internet bubble burst.
The startup company collapsed, and the CEO, Jackster Cage, also lost his job.
