Chapter 1087: A Trip to the United States (Continued 8)
100 million dollars, One hundred million dollars!
How much exactly?
A brand new 100 dollar bill weighs 1.05 grams, and 100 million US dollars is 1050 kilograms, which is more than 1 ton, and it is stacked on the ground with 1.5 cubic meters.
In fact, in the lives of the vast majority of Americans, the 100-dollar bill is used very little, and everyone is used to using 20 denominations, and the amount of 20 dollars is even more amazing.
And just a few minutes ago, Benjamin Keane watched the "$100 million" fly away from the BIU in front of his eyes, waving his sleeves without taking a trace of the cloud with him.
This made Benjamin stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Standing at the door of the Rubik's Cube studio, looking at the elevator door that had long been closed, he turned his head and said to his good friend who was with him, "Mark, did I do something stupid?"
The eyes of the CEO of the Rubik's Cube studio were full of chagrin.
Mark nodded.
Benjamin laughed angrily: "Can you not be so honest?"
"And what do you want me to say?"
Mark shrugged and said, "I think you're right. ”
Benjamin almost vomited blood: "Then tell me, where am I stupid?"
Mark looked at each other with a surprised gaze, as if to say: You can ask such a stupid question?
But his personality has always been upright, although he is usually silent, but it does not mean that he will not express his thoughts, but he has something to say: "I think your biggest mistake is to underestimate this Mr. Luo Kai." ”
Benjamin fell silent suddenly.
Ignoring his face, Mark continued: "You thought of the young billionaire too simply, so your strategy was wrong from the start, and you were too anxious and greedy just now, which made him very unhappy. ”
"I think he should have seen through your plan, your plan has no effect on him, and he can't fall into the trap you have set, and the end result is that we have lost this opportunity. ”
"Of course..."
Mark shrugged: "We have nothing to lose. ”
Benjamin's face turned from red to black, and then from black to red, and after a moment he said dejectedly: "You are right, I made a big mistake, and I should not underestimate a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions." ”
In fact, Mark saved his face and did not expose the discrimination behind his contempt.
That's right, it's discrimination.
If Rokai were a white American tycoon, Benjamin would not have any idea of the trick, but would have licked it wholeheartedly.
And Luo Kai is a Chinese, he has a sense of superiority in his mentality, so although he is very polite on the surface and respectful and polite on his mouth, he wants to dig a pit to pit people fiercely.
The result is that his acting skills are a little poor, and Luo Kai has a shrewd and wise personality that is in line with his identity, Benjamin himself is an afterthought, and Mark can see clearly next to him!
While embarrassed, Benjamin also regretted it very much.
In recent years, the competition in Hollywood's special effects production industry has become increasingly fierce, and as the audience's requirements for film special effects continue to increase, large special effects production companies have shown more and more advantages, making life more and more difficult for many small and medium-sized companies and studios.
After several years of development, the Rubik's Cube Studio is now at a critical juncture, and if it goes further, it is likely that it will be impossible to recover from taking a step back, and Benjamin has always wanted to expand the scale of the company to cope with the fierce competition.
However, due to the increase in operating costs in the past two years, although the business volume of the Rubik's Cube Studio is good, and it also won the project of Fox Film last year, it has not made much profit at all.
And Fox Films, one of the shareholders, lost money last year, and the latest "Starry Night" was lackluster at the box office, and it is impossible to give additional support to the Rubik's Cube studio.
That's why Benjamin hit the idea on Luo Kai's head.
In fact, if Benjamin hadn't been so anxious and greedy, it would have been possible for the two sides to achieve win-win cooperation, but now Luo Kai clearly expressed his disgust with him, and the conversation collapsed and walked away, which blocked such a possibility.
Reaching out and patting Mark on the shoulder, Benjamin felt frustrated without the resentment of his friend's outspokenness, "Forget it." ”
Mark suddenly said, "Ben, in fact, we still have a way to make his money. ”
Benjamin was stunned: "What way?"
"Quite simply, we licensed MGC to his studio," Mark said. ”
"Are you crazy?"
Benjamin was dumbfounded: "How can we sell MGC!"
MGC is a professional special effects production software developed by Mark, which was originally born in his college days, and then refined by the technical team, and now has become the core technology of Rubik's Cube Studio.
Selling MGC is equivalent to selling the foundation of the Rubik's Cube, which is not the same as selling a small part of the shares!
"You need money..."
Mark shrugged: "Our most valuable thing is MGC, we can license version 3.75 to him, I think it's more than enough to complete his movie special effects." ”
"And we can also charge another training fee, which doesn't affect us much. ”
Benjamin was stunned.
His mind was spinning fast, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mark had a point!
MGC has been continuously developed by Mark's team, and the latest version is 4.01, and the version 3.75 that Mark proposed to authorize is still the version in the middle of last year, which has a lot of missing features.
But as far as the script of "Space Traveler" that he had seen earlier was concerned, using MGC3.75 to make the space immigration spaceship in the film and the special effects of the scenes in it were definitely enough.
In addition to the software itself, the supporting material library can also be sold for money, plus the cost of software training, it is really a good deal!
In addition, the MGC version is constantly upgraded, and the old version can be licensed again and again to earn more profits, and the other party is also used to MGC when they use MGC, which is a long-term business.
"Mark, you're such a genius!"
Benjamin said from the bottom of his heart: "My CEO should let you be the one!"
"I can't!"
Mark immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I am used to sitting in front of the computer, your role is irreplaceable, and the Rubik's Cube Studio cannot live without you." ”
Benjamin couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then let's talk to that rich man in China again? I'm afraid you will have to come forward this time, and I am no longer suitable to negotiate with him." ”
"I'd better leave this matter to Harvey..."
Mark said, "I'm just going to make things worse, right..."
He said earnestly to his good friend: "After selling the license, don't forget my ten IBM workstations!"
Benjamin was speechless - he suddenly understood why Mark was suddenly so positive!
