Chapter 927: Five hundred million dollars
Chen Fangbing said that Zhao Dong is the founder of Feixun, Zhao Quan, the current chairman of the board of directors of Feixun Group.
Although he is no longer responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of Feixun, Zhao Quan's prestige in the group is unparalleled, and his net worth has never fallen in the top three positions on the rich list.
In the Internet world, he is also a real bigwig.
If Luo Kai can reach an agreement with Zhao Quan, then the trouble faced by Kuaiyin Technology is not worth mentioning, and the grievances between the two sides will pass with a smile, and the rivers and lakes will be calm from then on.
Chen Fangbing's ability to match Luo Kai with Zhao Quan also showed her strong connections and abilities.
Of course, Chen Fangbing also took a trick here, because with Luo Kai's current fame and net worth, although he has not reached the point of being completely equal to Zhao Quan, the qualifications for dialogue are sufficient.
Luo Kai's heart moved.
But the idea of agreeing only flashed in his mind, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, but you don't need it for the time being, if you need it, I'll ask Manager Chen for help." ”
In fact, if Luo Kai came to visit Zhao Quan himself, it would be basically impossible for the latter to turn him away, but in the current situation, doing so would undoubtedly be inferior, and it would make people think that he bowed his head to Feixun and admitted defeat.
It's slightly better to make an appointment through a third party, at least to save face, but it's not what Luo Kai wants.
Because Luo Kai knows very well that a character like Zhao Quan is extremely resolute, he will not easily interfere with Feixun if he hands it over to others to manage, let alone affect the group's decision-making because Luo Kai said a few good words.
Especially when it comes to a huge conflict of interests.
Therefore, the result of his meeting with Zhao Quan, unless he made enough concessions, would not be satisfactory.
In that case, why send your face to the door?
In the future, maybe one day Luo Kai will visit Zhao Quan, but it will only be the juniors who will visit the seniors.
"Ahh
Chen Fangbing was obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Then Luo Dong, you asked me out today?"
Luo Kai smiled and said, "I want to expand the scope of cooperation with digital power, who else can I find if I don't look for you?"
Digital Power is a well-known special effects production company in Hollywood, which has participated in the special effects production of many Hollywood blockbusters, won more than one Academy Award in the technical category, and is well-known in the industry.
Jinyuan Capital holds a stake in Digital Power 275, and the last time Chen Fangbing's representative Jinyuan Capital approached Luo Kai and wanted to lead the B round of Kuaiyin, she said that she could promote the cooperation between Oriental Star and Digital Power.
Although Jinyuan Capital was not able to participate in the B round of financing of Kuaiyin, with the support of Jinyuan Capital, the Oriental Star Special Effects Studio, which belongs to DreamWorks Pictures, still reached some cooperation intentions with Digital Power.
At that time, a group of employees of Oriental Star will go to Digital Power to learn, understand and familiarize themselves with the top special effects production technology in Hollywood, and will carry out in-depth cooperation on the film project "Thunder Action".
Jin Yuan Capital did not help in vain, Luo Kai promised Chen Fangbing that once DreamWorks Pictures opens a round of financing in the future, it will be led by Jin Yuan Capital, and even in the future, DreamWorks Pictures will be listed independently, and it can also cooperate with Jin Yuan Capital.
There is no way to do this, if DreamWorks Pictures wants to catch up with Hollywood in terms of special effects, it is not possible to rely on domestic industry companies, so it can only use this method of overtaking in corners.
And now Luo Kai is ready to take a bigger step!
"A larger scope of cooperation?"
Chen Fangbing was very calm: "Can you be specific?"
"Of course..."
Luo Kai said: "I hope to order a batch of professional equipment and professional software through digital power, and the expatriates of Oriental Star will be trained by digital power. ”
"Professional equipment and software for special effects production are easy to buy..."
Chen Fangbing's gaze became sharp: "I'm afraid your requirements are higher, right?"
"That's right. ”
Luo Kai nodded and said: "I know that Hollywood has always blocked the output of the industry's top equipment and software, and what it is willing to sell is often obsolete products, or outsourcing some low-end work projects to companies in China, Japan, South Korea, India and so on. ”
"I don't have much interest in these obsolete products, and I don't feel like I'm going to be an outsourcing company, and of course I'm not looking for the best equipment and technology, but at least not too far behind. ”
"Manager Chen, I understand your concerns, or more accurately Jinyuan Capital, although you are the major shareholder of Digital Power, it is impossible for Digital Power to do things that go against its own interests, but..."
Luo Kai said in a deep voice: "I am willing to pay a high price." ”
The reason why Hollywood can dominate the world movies is inseparable from their century-long accumulation, which has laid a very terrifying advantage, including special effects technology.
Although domestic filmmakers have been catching up in recent years, there is still a lot of room to go if they want to catch up with Hollywood's technology, and Hollywood's blockade of top technology is also very powerful.
But Luo Kai believes that this blockade is not impossible to break, it is nothing more than the level of the price.
Chen Fangbing really became interested: "How high is the price?"
Luo Kai stretched out a hand, and shook his five fingers openly.
Chen Fangbing's pupils shrank: "Five hundred million?"
Such a price code is very high, at least there are few film companies in China that are willing or able to pay so much money to introduce and purchase special effects production equipment and technology.
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Dollars." ”
500 million US dollars!
When the word "US dollar" came out of Luo Kai's mouth, Chen Fangbing doubted his ears.
500 million RMB and 500 million US dollars are not the same concept at all!
She blurted out, "No kidding, right?"
$500 million to buy digital power is far from enough, but it is enough to buy companies in the same industry with less strength and reputation, and Luo Kai's approach really can't believe it.
"Of course not. ”
Luo Kai said: "I am very serious, of course, this 500 million US dollars will not be a one-time investment, but in phases, and it will take a year, two years or several years to complete. ”
That's terrifying, too!
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as there are enough interests, real capitalists are willing to sell the ropes that hang themselves, Luo Kai smashed hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is really not a big problem to build a top special effects production team in China.
Of course, it is impossible to get the top technology in Hollywood, let alone 500 million, 5 billion is not enough, so Luo Kai's positioning is very clear.
It's also very operational.
Chen Fangbing's mind raced, and he said, "Then we can talk about it." ”
