Chapter 681: Old Fox
Qin Feng's proposal made Kevin very interested.
With a box office of less than $300 million, it does not require dividends at all. That's where it gets interesting. This shows that he is full of confidence in this "Harry Potter".
300 million box office, as far as the current market is concerned, it is very good.
As far as the current global total box office is concerned, hundreds of millions of box office is already very good. The ROI is very high.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so confident!" Kevin looked at Qin Feng.
"How's it going, Kevin, we have faith on our side, what about you?" asked Tebu with a smile.
Kevin groaned, he was also very interested, for this subject, he felt that there was a chance of fire. But movies are sometimes like this, what you think is a hot subject may not be popular.
For example, when it came to "The Shawshank Redemption", many people were very optimistic about it at the time, but the result was not at all.
The box office is rotten to death.
On the contrary, the other one, "Forrest Gump" is completely popular.
The box office word of mouth is a big hit.
So, sometimes investing in making movies is really risky. After all, sometimes you invest tens of millions of dollars into it, and the box office is less than the investment cost, which is the rhythm of loss.
But this "Harry Potter" is indeed not available on the market, and he has this confidence. In particular, the other party only asked to participate in the dividends, and did not ask for direct money. From Time Warner's point of view, this is an investment that can be risk-averse.
"I can sign a contract with you, but in the end, whether this drama will be filmed or not, I have to take it back and discuss it and make a decision. Kevin decided to be conservative.
"No problem!" Qin Feng smiled, "I have confidence in this play." But if you don't shoot and transfer it, then the ownership is in my hands. ”
"Of course!" Kevin nodded.
"Then let's sign a contract!" Kevin pulled out his pen.
Although he believes that "Harry Potter" may not necessarily be popular, it does have the possibility of being popular, so he never wants to leave others behind.
"Well, before signing the contract, there is one more thing, I want to get rid of President Kevin!" Qin Feng took out another contract.
"What is this?" Kevin wondered.
"I want access to your company's cable modem in Huaxia. So, I don't know what kind of price President Kevin can give me?" Qin Feng smiled.
Lisa explained the whole story.
"The price of $100 million is indeed our company's policy. After all, China has a large population. Kevin pondered, "But now that you've found me, how much do you want?"
"A buyout price, $50 million! And this money, if you shoot it, will be deducted from my contract. Qin Feng said.
"50 million!" Kevin thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
In fact, let alone 50 million, even if it is 10 million dollars, he thinks it is a good deal. After all, China is such a poor country, the Internet, can they develop the Internet? In particular, this requires cable television.
He doesn't think Huaxia will be able to lay so many cable TV cables in a short period of time. And this technology also has its shortcomings.
After all, the United States is also developing optical fiber technology, and in a few years, it may be eliminated.
However, you can't sell it so cheaply to the outside world. In particular, with such a large population in China, maybe one day, the market will rise.
So, $50 million, still a good price. In particular, the other party also provided such a script.
"The price is acceptable, but you have to prevent $20 million first! If we don't, you'll have to pay the remaining $30 million!" Kevin said.
It can be said that from this matter, Kevin does not suffer at all. With a technology that is destined to become obsolete, it is not a loss to sell it at a high price to a market that may never develop.
Especially with such a script that seems to be very good.
"Deal!" Qin Feng smiled slightly.
The big stone in my heart finally fell.
Subsequently, the two parties happily signed the contract.
The next day, Qin Feng put the money into Time Warner's kung fu account. After that, Qin Feng returned to China with the complete technology of the cable modem, as well as the related equipment and engineering drawings produced.
"Lei Jun, this is the cable modem I brought back, this is the drawing, and the related technology, they are all stored in this hard drive! You study it and see how long it will take to develop it. Qin Feng handed the hard disk and equipment, as well as the drawings, to Lei Jun.
"How much does it cost?" asked Lei Jun.
"$50 million!" Qin Feng said.
"It's so expensive! The company doesn't have that much money!" Lei Jun was speechless.
"I'll pay this money in advance, and then I'll pay it back when the company develops in the future!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "When the time comes, just pay me according to the bank interest!"
"Thank you!" Lei Jun said after a long time.
In this matter, Qin Feng could take the opportunity to thin out their shares. But Qin Feng didn't, he just treated it as a loan and gave some interest.
It can be said that this time the company owes Qin Feng a favor.
Subsequently, Lei Jun began to gather all the scientific research personnel of the company together, entered the company's graduate students, and began copying.
There are technical drawings, there are equipment, there are all kinds of materials. This kind of copy, in fact, is very simple.
The difficulty is not complicated, for them, the main thing is to integrate it and become their own technique. It's like taking a class, absorbing Time Warner's technology.
When they absorb it, they will use this technology to create production process drawings according to the current domestic manufacturing level.
Then, let's list a set of training courses to train the installers who will install cable modems in the future.
With these two sets of processes, built and then produced, cable modems can be promoted.
Of course, Beijing TV has also begun to promote. This technology, since it is so mature that it can far surpass the speed of Internet access on telephone lines, there is no reason why TV stations should not promote it. In particular, the state is also promoting the development of the Internet.
Soon, in the streets and alleys of Beijing, they all learned of the emergence of a new network service, wired broadband. It will be hundreds of times faster than it is now.
This directly shocked the entire Beijing Internet.
At present, it is still a telephone line to go online, the speed is to death, and opening any web page is a bump.
As a result, ultra-high-speed broadband is directly launched here, and the download speed can reach a speed of more than 3M per second, which is simply stunning.
The gap between the two is like the gap between the Yanggu trail and the expressway.
Therefore, many enterprises with Internet needs have contacted TV stations to inquire about relevant costs and submit installation applications.
From this moment on, China's Internet industry was advanced by ten years.
