Chapter 503: Strengths and Weaknesses
"Mr. Lucas, it's not that our cooperation is not impossible to .........!"
Liu Lang wants to be captured.
"Oh, what do you suggest about little Jimmy?"
Lucas, who was somewhat silent, was in his mood when he heard it.
"To be honest, I'm still very optimistic about your industrial light and magic technology, but I'm skeptical about your financial problems, and our Shengtang company is a company with a very high profit margin, if I show you the financial statements, I'm afraid it will scare you.
Because all of our Transformers comics and model toys are made in China, and the cost is terrible lower than that of you in the United States, for example, the design of this Transformers is all made by me alone, and I don't need to be paid, can you compare?
So we only have five painting workers in the comic production of Shengtang Company, they only need to draw the graphics I designed on paper, the monthly salary of the five workers is about 2,000 yuan, equivalent to 500 US dollars, remember, this is the salary of all workers, not a person's salary, and our comics in the United States can sell more than 12,000 copies every month, the price of a copy is about 15 US dollars, the total sales is 180,000 US dollars, in addition to various expenses, the net profit is 1440,000 US dollars, you calculate what the rate of return is๏ผ
In addition, in the toy model, we have a factory in China, there are about 200 workers, the salary is 100 yuan per month, which is equivalent to 25 US dollars, even if there are 300 workers, the labor cost of a month is 7,500 US dollars, and the cost of materials and other equipment adds up to 20,000 US dollars, so the total cost is about 30,000 US dollars, so what about our income? Now the toy model can sell about 20,000 pieces a month, the price of each piece is 30 US dollars, the total income is 600,000 US dollars, excluding taxes and transportation costs, and then the cost of 30,000 US dollars, basically the net profit is about 400,000 US dollars.
And Mr. Lucas, you know, our Saint Don company is just getting started, and the vast majority of Americans don't even know that Transformers exist, and if you see our design, I believe that all the revenues will multiply several times, and then we will be the next Marvel, the next DC, and even I have the confidence to beat them in comics, have you considered all of this?"
Liu Lang put his company's financial situation clearly, this kind of yield makes Lucas feel "desperate", especially the production cost of the other party's comics, which is simply unreasonable, he hired a total of more than 100 designers when he was filming Star Wars, and the design cost exceeded one million dollars, but the design of Transformers was all done by the chairman himself, and the price was not a penny, how can this be compared?
As for the Transformers model, there are two in Lucas's office, and the price of the two toys is sixty dollars, which is not very expensive in the United States, and he originally felt that the other party suffered a loss, because toys of the same size are generally sold for forty or fifty dollars, but now I heard the other party say that the wages of workers are only twenty-five dollars a month, and they almost lie on the ground, and the minimum wages of industrial workers in the United States are 12,300 US dollars, how many times is the difference between the two sides?
In this way, the profit of a toy model with a price of 30 US dollars is simply higher than that of drugs, if Shengtang Company wants to go public at this time, it will be sought after by investors immediately after taking out these financial statements and announcing them, and there is no problem at all with the listing, and even Liu Lang can become a multimillionaire in an instant after listing.
Shengtang is a high-quality company, but what about Industrial Light & Magic, it can only be regarded as a potential company, but if you take out the financial statements, it is similar to a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, the expenditure is amazingly high, but the income is very little, just looking at the statements, the two sides are fundamentally at different levels, if it is placed in the capital market, Shengtang is a red chip stock sought after by everyone, and Industrial Light & Magic is an out-and-out junk stock.
A series of "blows" made Lucas sullen, but his understanding of Liu Lang in his heart improved again: this kid is not only amazingly imaginative, but also a master of negotiation, seemingly understatement but aggressive everywhere, but the key other party is still reasonable, and he doesn't even have the ability to refute.
That's right, Lucas has put the greatest enthusiasm into the industrial light and magic he founded, and regards it as a lifelong career, but there is always a gap between reality and ideals, no matter how big your ideal is, it is useless to make money, and if you don't have money, you can't afford to support technicians, if you wait until all the technicians leave, then the end of industrial light and magic will come, with the funds in Lucas's hands, it can still last for about a year under the normal cost of industrial light and magic, if industrial light and magic does not improve after a year, then he will be completely out of line.
"Little Jimmy, you still have some truth in what you said, but you also said that special effects are the future of movies, and our Industrial Light & Magic has been ahead of all film companies, which is indisputable, and you also agree with my point of view very much, we have a common understanding on this point, you are extremely smart, and you will not let go of this great opportunity for us to cooperate!"
Lucas is also a "social person", and the interpersonal relationship is also clear, although his industrial light and magic is now in an embarrassing position, but don't you Liu Lang also agree? Then let go of these negative factors, let's talk about ideals.
"Of course we can cooperate! This is my personal lawyer, Jackson, as long as you negotiate everything with him, my idea is very simple, that is, we merge and become one company!"
After a lot of foreshadowing, Liu Lang finally said his purpose.
"Become a company......... It's not impossible, but it's .........!"
There are many ways to cooperate, the simple cooperation is that you pay for it, I pay for it, we shoot a movie together, this is limited to one or a few movies, the cooperation method is not too deep, the deepest way of cooperation is to form a joint company with two or more companies, and distribute equity according to the amount of money they pay, of course, it can also be a technology shareholding, just like Liu Lang's stake in Nike.
There is a big problem with such a company, that is, who counts, of course, generally speaking, who has the money and who says, so who is rich in the two companies of Shengtang and Industrial Light and Magic?
This is complicated and requires a professional accounting firm to evaluate, but it seems that Shengtang still has an advantage.
Because Liu Lang enjoys all the patent rights of Transformers, even now, millions of dollars in profits can be created every year through the image of Transformers, while Lucas only owns ILM, and the Star Wars brand belongs to Fox Corporation, does ILM have profits?
