Chapter 393: This "Industrial Light and Magic" should pay attention
This industrial light and magic is too famous after more than 20 years, specializing in making special effects for movies, and has won countless honors, what "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "Ice Age", "Cars", "Toy Story" These cartoons are all the works of Industrial Light and Magic, and these achievements alone are enough to make countless film and television companies look up.
However, in '85, ILM was still a small company, and its business conditions had serious problems, even to the point of bankruptcy, and the founder, the great director Lucas, should also be anxious.
It looks incredible, but that's the case, don't look at Lucas who relied on industrial light and magic to complete the production of an unprecedented Star Wars movie, but his production method has not been recognized by more people, his special effects are still a little too fast for this era, the cost is too great, even Hollywood big productions often feel headaches, and in addition, the current movies are all feature films, and special effects are rarely used, so his industrial light and magic has reached the point of being unable to sustain it five years after its establishment.
Why does Liu Lang know this, it's very simple, because next year, that is, eighty-six years, twenty years later, the well-known Qiao gang leader was kicked out of the Apple company he created, he bought Industrial Light & Magic in a fit of anger and established a company called Pixar, under his leadership, Pixar gradually developed into a top special effects company, and Pixar later cooperated with Disney, and the strong alliance has swept the world since then, and the special effects of the Marvel series of movies are all created by Pixar, which can be called a visual feast.
The current Industrial Light & Magic is just a special effects company on the verge of bankruptcy, if they cooperate with Liu Lang to produce Transformers cartoons, I believe they will also be very happy, of course, this is not Liu Lang's purpose, Liu Lang is ready to buy Industrial Light & Magic to set up his own special effects company, once he masters this resource, then he will be beautiful.
"Mr. Liu, do you even know about this industrial light and magic?"
Lin Guodong was a little surprised, in fact, he has been constantly asking about any company in the United States that can produce cartoons in the past two months, and he has also heard the name of Industrial Light and Magic, and he also knows that the founder is the great director Lucas, but he thinks that the asking price of a company founded by such a big director must be very high, and now the transformation gold has just started, and there is not much money, so he has no in-depth understanding of this company, and now I heard Liu Lang say that Industrial Light and Magic is about to go bankrupt, which is really incredible.
"This boss of mine is really unfathomable, it seems that he still has many friends in the United States, and this network is too light!"
Lin Guodong said secretly in his heart.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I also know a little bit about the companies that produce cartoons before, and I also know a little about this industrial light and magic, and the big director Lucas is also a person I like, I will go back to him and talk to him about cooperation, since they are about to go bankrupt, I believe the asking price will not be too high!"
Lin Guodong replied.
"Well, you talk about it in detail first, if the price is right, you will cooperate with them, and in addition, all the royalties of my book in the United States will be transferred to the account of the branch, and you can use it at your disposal!"
Liu Lang said.
"No, no, Mr. Liu, that's your manuscript fee, I can't use it!"
Lin Guodong waved his hand again and again.
Buying more than 50,000 copies a month is unimaginable for Lin Guodong, and now Transformers are only a few thousand copies a month, and the price of this book "The Wave of the Tertiary Industry" is $15 a copy, and the 10 percent manuscript fee is a piece of 5, and 50,000 copies is more than $70,000! More than $70,000 a month, that's more than $800,000 a year, which is higher than the annual salary of the presidents of many large companies......... Lin Guodong also felt "terrifying" when he thought about it, Liu Lang could make money that he couldn't earn for decades with this book, this is the gap! But no matter how much money there is, it is also Liu Lang's personal manuscript fee, which has little to do with Shengtang culture.
Liu Lang waved his hand.
"What is money? If you don't spend it, it's always paper, only when you spend it is money, some people spend money to buy consumer goods, cars, houses, these have to be bought with money, most people will be like this, but for an entrepreneur, money is not only for them to consume, but also to let the money come back into money.
Those manuscript fees are of no use to me, and I am not short of money in China, but it is a cheap bank to put in the bank......... Brother Guodong, I believe in your ability and your character, don't you even believe in yourself?"
Liu Lang's words were very level, and Lin Guodong could only nod.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will make this money increase in value!"
"That's right, by the way, Brother Zequan, I heard that you are going to set up a law firm in the United States, this idea is very good, I support you!"
Lin Zequan wanted to open a law firm in the United States, and he told Liu Lang about this matter by phone a month ago, and Liu Lang was of course okay and immediately agreed.
It is true that the other party is his own private lawyer, but this private lawyer is mainly to help Liu Lang deal with those foreign companies, as for the domestic market, it is enough to have Mu Xiaohu and Yongli Group.
Lin Zequan's father is also a well-known lawyer on Hong Kong Island, and he runs a law firm with others, which is one of the partners, which is also the only industry of the Lin family, unlike Sun Mingren, his father is not only a justice, but also has his own media industry, although he is not as strong as the Huo family in terms of wealth, but in terms of social status, it may not be much lower than Huo Yingnan.
Lin Zequan's grandfather was a lawyer, no, he should be called a lawyer in that era, his father was also a lawyer, and he himself graduated from the law department of a well-known university, not only him, but even one of his younger brothers and sisters also studied law and were standard legal families, so it was very normal to set up a law firm in the United States.
"Mr. Liu, this law firm was invested by my father, and I also have some shares, so I have to come forward to help, but I am your personal lawyer This matter cannot be changed, of course my father also knows about it, so in the end, our Lin family decided, I hope you can also become a shareholder of this company, this is an agreement, you see!"
Lin Zequan suddenly took out a contract and handed it to Liu Lang.
"Agreements?"
Liu Lang was also slightly surprised, the other party didn't tell him about this matter! Why did he suddenly have an agreement?
took the contract handed over by Lin Zequan, and Liu Lang saw that it was indeed a contract, a contract for share distribution.
The Lin family set up a law firm in Los Angeles, USA, with Lin Zequan's father Lin Zhixiang as a partner, with 40 percent of the shares, Lin Zequan 20 percent of the shares, and Lin Zequan's younger brother and sister each holding 10 percent of the shares, and the remaining 20 percent of the shares, all of which belonged to Liu Lang.
In other words, the property rights of this law firm belong to both the Lin family and Liu Lang, and the contract also points out that Liu Lang's 20 percent of the shares are completely free of charge and are provided by the Lin family free of charge.
"It's not going to work!"
Liu Lang shook his head and said.
