This time, Jiang Botao came to Germany to discuss the matter of further cooperation between the two countries, and I don't know how the two ministers talked about it, so there should be no problem.

Regardless of success or not, Liu Lang has a sense of urgency, it seems that his North Industries Group is going to speed up, it is best to start the research and development of CNC machine tools within three years, and strive to manufacture them within five years.

The relationship between Liu Lang and Little Andrew is very good, Liu Lang is not polite to the other party, and directly talked to him about cooperation, Liu Lang wants to order a batch of parts, a total of one million US dollars, many of which are digital machine tool parts, these things were not allowed to be exported to China five years ago, but now it is much better, most of them are OK, of course, there are few domestic companies can use these parts.

A million-dollar business is a big deal for little Andrew, of course, he is very happy, so he agreed immediately without hesitation, Liu Lang immediately paid 20% of the other party's deposit, that is, 200,000 US dollars, and will pay the rest of the money after the goods arrive at the Shanghai port a month later.

Little Andrew sighed in his heart, he has cooperated with Chinese companies too many times, and every time he negotiates the price, he has a big headache, and the other party always wants to be cheaper, as if he has taken advantage of the other party.

The Germans never ask for a price to sell equipment, even if there will be a certain price increase, it will not be too outrageous, which is much better than other European countries, and the Germans are serviced to the end of the equipment, you will not use me to teach you by hand, your equipment is broken, I will also send someone to repair, these all need money.

Chinese companies feel that these service fees are unnecessary, and often propose to deduct these expenses, and Andrew Jr. can only compromise in the end, but once there is a small problem with the equipment, the other party immediately asks him to send someone to repair, are these services free?

Therefore, in the eyes of Little Andrew, Chinese companies are a bunch of "wild people", who do not follow the rules at all, and do not understand the true value of a machine tool, and sometimes even regret signing a contract, which really makes him cry and laugh.

But Liu Lang is not like this, when signing the contract, he read every article carefully, all kinds of terms are completely clear, what FOB CIF price is clear, the two parties have no doubts and immediately sign the contract, and then take out the Visa card to pay the deposit directly, without any hesitation, this is business.

Little Andrew has made a lot of money doing business with Chinese over the years, but he has also seen the Chinese's ability to bargain, and that scene has never been seen in his life.

After so many years, he has also begun to get used to it, and even he once encountered the experience of the other party asking to remove a batch of machine tool outer baffles, because each one can save thousands of dollars, and the difficulty is not afraid of death?

A Chinese customer like Liu Lang, who doesn't even consider the price, is the first.

Of course, Little Andrew already knew that Liu Lang was the chairman of Shengtang Company, and he was already a billionaire, so this million dollars was really nothing.

At noon, Liu Lang had a meal at Andrews Company, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, two buses came to the door of Andrews Company, Jiang Botao and German Deputy Minister of Industry Redfen got out of the car, and Andrew and Liu Lang greeted them at the door.

Lei Defen immediately smiled when he saw Liu Lang and "tole" little Andrew aside.

"Jimmy, I received those three tickets you gave me, thank you!"

"Your Excellency the Deputy Minister is too polite, you have made great contributions to the cooperation between China and Germany, and three votes are far from enough to express my respect for you!"

Liu Lang didn't give it to the other party, he just gave Schmidt ten tickets, thinking that Schmidt gave it to him.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I chatted with Minister Jiang yesterday, and when it comes to your genius, I can't imagine that "Transformers" is also the work of your Shengtang, one of my grandsons likes "Transformers" the most, and I have to watch every issue, and I am clamoring for his father to buy all kinds of models every day, but unfortunately how can I buy all of them with so many models?"

Redfen sighed.

"We at Saint Don have seven toy models that are not sold in the European market, and only in the United States......... Your Excellency Deputy Minister, rest assured, I will ask my supplier to prepare a complete set of toy models for you, and I will deliver them to your door when the time comes!"

Of course, Liu Lang understood what the other party meant, of course, this was not a bribe, it was just a bargain, and he would not refuse at that time.

Lei Defen was very happy to hear it, and kept praising Shengtang Company and Liu Lang, who were simply loyal fans of Shengtang Company.

After six years of development, the image of Transformers has achieved success around the world, with hundreds of millions of fans, comics, toy models and peripheral products, with an annual income of more than 50 million US dollars and a profit of more than 20 million US dollars.

The main reason is that the current Shengtang Company has a super ability to absorb money, the annual income of the record company exceeds 100 million yuan, and the film is even more powerful, and four movies have been released within three years: "Vulgar", "Die Hard", "Toy Story" and "Reservoir Dogs".

"Reservoir Dogs" is a film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, with a cost of five million dollars and a box office of 30 million, which is also a very successful movie, but it is much worse than the first three, the average box office of these three films reached 400 million US dollars, of which "Toy Story" set a record of 700 million US dollars, second only to the "Star Wars" directed by Lucas in 87, ranking second in the highest-grossing film in film history.

In addition, "Finding Nemo" is expected to be completed this year, "Forrest Gump" has been filmed, is in post-production, and will be released in March, and "Schindler's List" is already organizing personnel to prepare for filming, which is expected to be completed in the second half of the year, which means that there will likely be three Saint Tang Company movies released this year, according to Liu Lang's estimates, the total box office of these three films exceeds one billion US dollars, and even "Finding Nemo" may break "Star Wars" With a box office of 800 million US dollars, "Forrest Gump" has nothing to say, 400 million US dollars should be easy, and it will also win the first director of Lucas's life.

The most profitable in the entertainment industry is records and movies, of course, there is a traffic star in the Internet era, but the so-called traffic star is "outlier", which does not exist in today's era.

Transformers, the image of Transformers, which started with comics, is a little weak compared to the other two, this is normal, just look at Marvel, they are now not as good as a year, and the annual income is only about 10 million US dollars, if it weren't for the original exchange of 10% of the shares for 3% of the shares of Shengtang Company, now they may be even worse, this transaction Shengtang Many people within Shengtang feel that it is a failure, fortunately, it was Liu Lang who made the decision at the beginning, if it was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that the board of directors would have been dissatisfied.

But only Liu Lang knows how profitable the images of Transformers and Marvel are, the total box office of the Transformers series of movies has reached 2 billion US dollars, and the total box office of the Marvel series of movies has exceeded 10 billion US dollars before Liu Lang's rebirth.

Liu Lang has already begun to plan now, maybe in another four or five years, he will be able to shoot a live-action movie of Transformers, and then it will definitely be a feast of wealth.
