Xu Qing looked at Keita Ando's kind smile and warm eyes, and his attitude was much better than talking to him about electronic pets just now.

Keita Ando's words confirmed the third possibility that Eben said, that the AEON Group wanted the film rights to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Xu Qing didn't expect Eben's analytical skills to be so strong, since Eben came to him as a secretary.

Xu Qing handed over to Aben to deal with the basic piecemeal work, Xu Qing did not feel Aben's true ability, only felt that he was a lot easier.

It's a bit condescending, and Eben's ability is enough to be a secretary to a Fortune 500 senior leader.

Keita Ando saw Xu Qing in a daze, thinking that Xu Qing was thinking about what he just said, and didn't bother Xu Qing.

Xu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Mr. Ando, does the Aeon Group really want the movie rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?"

Keita Ando said, "Mr. Xu, AEON Group has invested in a number of successful films and has rich experience in the field of film investment.

The film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were handed over to the AEON Group, and it will definitely give full play to the value. ”

"Then Mr. Ando knows how many companies I have rejected that want the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?" Xu Qing looked at Keita Ando.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is so popular, there must be many companies that want the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Keita Ando said.

Xu Qing took a few sips of tea and talked to Keita Ando for so long, he hadn't drunk tea yet, and he was a little thirsty.

"Mr. Ando is right, there are many companies that want the rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so many that I can't remember how many, but I remember a few very well.

Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount, Columbia, all these Hollywood giants wanted the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but I turned them all down, do you know why?"

"Mr. Xu, please say, I would also like to know why you would turn down these Hollywood giants, they are the most professional and powerful film companies in the world.

The vast majority of the world's classic films are made by them, and it is almost impossible for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to become a classic without these Hollywood giants. ”

"It seems that Mr. Ando still knows a lot about the film and television industry, and the reason why I rejected them is very simple, there is no film company in the world that can make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a classic film. ”

"Mr. Xu is worried that the current film technology will not be able to shoot the magical scenes of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?" asked Keita Ando.

"Mr. Ando, I am more and more surprised by your knowledge of the film and television industry, and you are quite right, the current film technology does not meet my requirements. ”

Xu Qing was really a little surprised, many film companies that were rejected by him didn't see the reason for his refusal, and they all thought that the purchase price did not meet Xu Qing.

As for why he didn't tell those studios the reason for his refusal, why did he tell them.

"I think Mr. Xu's worries are a bit unnecessary, many studios can shoot good magic scenes, Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" is very good, and Pixar's special effects technology can also meet Mr. Xu's requirements. ”

"All I can say is that Pixar's special effects technology doesn't meet my requirements, and I'm sorry, I can't agree to sell the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to AEON. ”

Xu Qing simply refused, not wanting to talk to Keita Ando about "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" anymore, and his attitude was very resolute in this regard.

"It's a pity, AEON Group really wants the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and I hope Mr. Xu can consider it carefully. Keita Ando stood up and bowed to Xu Qing.

After finishing today's negotiations, Xu Qing returned to the hotel, his head aching.

If the AEON Group does not agree to the request, the AEON Group is likely to cancel the cooperation with the e-pet.

But it is impossible to agree, Xu Qing will not agree to sell the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to any company.

Aeon Group is the most suitable partner in Japan, the sales network covers the entire country, and electronic pets can be sold in Japan at the fastest speed.

And Japan is the most important market for electronic pets, and it is impossible to give up.

Christmas is also coming, and the sale of electronic pets is imminent, so it is too late to find a new channel provider.

Aeon Group saw Xu Qing's predicament, so it dared to let Xu Qing consider it again when Xu Qing refused to sell the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Xu Qing's brain continued to spin, thinking of a solution, and an idea suddenly flashed through Xu Qing's mind.

No, even if the AEON Group does want the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it can't be so adamant.

After all, the AEON Group is a supermarket company, not a film company, and they also know that the price of the film rights to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will not be cheap.

The probability of loss in the film and television industry is very high, and with the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", there is no complete guarantee that the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will make money.

If you lose money, you will lose a lot of money, at least tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

There is no need for AEON Group to take such a big risk.

Could it be that the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that really want it are not the Aeon Group, but other companies?

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, and immediately called the old man and asked him to investigate whether the Aeon Group had ties with other film companies, especially Columbia Pictures.

Colombia was acquired by Sony in 19**, and Sony is a Japanese company, and the Aeon Group is also a Japanese company, and the two may be connected.

Xu Qing had rejected Colombia before, and if Colombia bought it through Aeon Group, it was quite likely.

The old man's network is much stronger than Xu Qing's, and the next morning, the old man told Xu Qing that the Aeon Group has recently invested in several Colombian films, and the relationship is very close.

Although it is not entirely certain whether it is Columbia or the Aeon Group, it wants the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

But Xu Qing has already identified it as Colombia, because Colombia has been too unlucky in recent years, and all the movies made have lost money, and they have lost more than $1 billion, and they urgently need a movie that can sell well to reverse the loss.

And "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was favored by them and considered it a blockbuster movie.

Thinking of the previous purchase price in Colombia, this possibility is becoming more and more likely.

Xu Qing had already thought of a solution.
