Chapter 234: Companion
John walked away with a few of Mattel's negotiators. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Xiangzhong whispered: "Boss, they are still a little unwilling. ”
"Soon, they will change their minds. Li Mo said categorically.
The reason for his confidence is that he has the confidence to successfully cultivate the Yili brand, second, his wealth will increase several times soon, and the third is that he has enough confidence in Yile products. As for George W. Bush...... Unless Cisco's stock price rises to its peak, then Bush Jr. will be able to keep his fortune even if he is not president.
As long as it does not have a negative impact on Mattel's products, the huge cost advantage will make Mattel more and more excited.
Li Mo called George W. Bush again, and had to explain that the expansion has increased, the more the loan is owed, and the employees will pay dividends, but the shareholders will temporarily repay the loans.
George W. Bush estimated that on that drilling platform, he could hear the howling sea breeze from Big Brother, and he said loudly: "Lee, you don't need to explain, I understand, let me choose, do I choose Microsoft, which paid dividends 86 years ago, or Microsoft, which did not pay dividends in 86 years?"
"Haha, that's a good analogy," Li Mo laughed.
In fact, it's not an explanation, it's polite respect, after all, people's shares are not small, and the whole ten percent.
When Bush Jr. put down his big brother, he was also full of smiles, thinking, yes, yes, this investment has more than doubled, or even several times, in less than a year.
Don't look at this as a simple algorithm, Liu Xiangzhong has to explain it for a while.
He quickly flew to the magic capital, found Director Qin, and talked about the next Yili subsidiary, as well as the special relationship between the subsidiary and the parent company, and at the same time said one thing, because Mattel occupies 30% of the shares, and it is not injected into Yili through three funds...... Including tax incentives, loan incentives, a fair assessment, this investment funds are relatively large, and the magic capital may not occupy more than 20% of the shares.
The truth is that at the shareholders' meeting, Li Mo used the joint minority shareholders to force the Possack couple, which made him himself a little afraid, what if he was pitted by a certain official in the magic capital and Mattel in the future? Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the controlling stake, that is, the current 56 percent of the shares, so that the subsidiary can be tightly grasped by itself on the basis of benefit sharing and binding of all parties.
Anyway, Director Qin believed it, indeed, Yile Company and the Modu government took a lot of advantage.
Liu Xiangzhong said the second thing.
Li Mo didn't know that Mattel's sales reached $4.8 billion in '97, but he vaguely remembered that Mattel's annual sales later reached more than six billion, and there were billions in the nineties, anyway, not the current billion.
The cost is only a part of the company's cost, as well as R & D costs, tax costs, management costs, loss costs, etc., overseas foundry will generate transportation costs and tariffs, Yile gives a low price, and Mattel cannot let all products OEM, but even if it takes a part of it, the number of Mattel OEM is not 300 million US dollars, it is likely to reach 45000000000000 ...... How much, Li Mo is not easy to estimate.
The contract says that Yile will not announce this OEM, but other companies are not fools, and in the next two years, Yile will not OEM the products of two or three well-known toy companies, as Mattel began to request, and must not conflict with Mattel, but will inevitably OEM some companies' products.
Jurassic Park is the big guy finished, and Pixar will make six animated short films for Li Mo in a row the year after tomorrow, one is for Rong Dirk's publicity, and the other is for the future production of Toy Story to make technical reserves, the launch of eight series of products, and the big guy Jurassic Park, that is, two years later, Yile's annual sales may exceed $400 million.
It takes more workers, more loans......
"So much revenue?"
"Revenues are up, but profits are down. Liu Xiangzhong said honestly.
Director Qin didn't pay attention to the word profit at all, is the magic horse of profit important? The important thing is foreign exchange. Think about the 60th Canton Fair, which ended a few months ago, so many excellent manufacturers participated in the exhibition, including many manufacturers in the magic capital, and the total orders barely reached one billion US dollars!
"Why is Yile so powerful?"
"By chance, our boss took it. Because of the contract, Liu Xiangzhong did not say Mattel.
"Your boss is that Li Mu?"
"There are quite a few bosses, and he is the boss with the most shares. ”
"Li Mu ......" Director Qin wanted to ask, how much money does your boss Li Mu have, but he didn't ask, there are more and more rich people in China, but the wealth in the hands of that one is calculated in billions of dollars, so he also guessed that the above idea is not to publicize, encourage or oppose, so it goes on in a daze, anyway, it is foreigners' money. Even these two companies still make foreigners' money, and they still make the foreign exchange that the country needs most! At his level, he can come up with all the twists and turns, and he really asks that he is not smart, not curious, but stupid.
This expansion also alarmed all the senior leaders of the Demon City, and after a meeting and discussion, the Demon City issued an order to focus on support!
Asking for money for money, not for money, but for loans, asking people to give people, and asking for materials to give materials.
In this case, not to mention a few children transferring to another school, Li Mo got a strengthened child from Liu Yewei to study in the magic capital, and the leaders at all levels would not think about it, and would immediately agree.
Li Mo ran into some minor troubles.
"The Lost World" has finally been published.
Paramount and Universal got the novel, and after reading it, they immediately called Li Mo to congratulate the new book on a good job. It's not good, but the box office of the second part of the dinosaur is guaranteed. Of course, at this time, they don't have much confidence in their hearts.
The cost of the film was so high that both studios were breathless.
They are even more afraid that Li Mo's second part will be written badly, which will make matters worse.
Li Mo hung up the phone and started a propaganda campaign, but this time many reporters asked about what happened at the end of last year, and some of them asked very difficult questions. Li Mo really wanted to ask rhetorically, you take the bread to the park, which homeless people do you find, and ask them whether it is important for the people to cook or the bread is important.
But such a question exposes his "true colors".
In the face of these difficult questions, Li Mo answered very tactfully, and I asked myself that if I didn't hire a CEO, I wouldn't have the skills to manage a company. A country is a big company, and it is a big country like China and the United States. It is not easy to govern such a country. Politics is a more complicated thing, I don't understand, I don't understand, how do you ask me to answer?
Li Mo ran around and ran to several cities.
At the end of the campaign, Mr. Li asked Mr. Hollick to call Bantam.
There are two options, the first option, this kind of publicity campaign will be delayed until next year, because there is still a Da Vinci code to be released next year, and a good contract will be signed, and Li Mo will also be required to sign the book for promotion, but it will be terminated next year.
Li Mo's reason is simple, because he has invested in many industries, plus studying in college, the time is even tighter, and there is no time to be distracted to sign and sell books. However, after he graduated from college, according to the situation, he cooperated with bantams to make up for their losses.
The second option is to force Luggage Mo to continue to sign and sell books for the rest of the next few years in accordance with the contract, and Li Mo will abide by the contract. However, the rest of the books, Li Mo will not be handed over to Bantam for publication and distribution.
Bantam immediately asked Johnson to come over and negotiate.
In their thoughts, there are two reasons, one is that Li Mo is now rich and famous, and he doesn't care about the profits brought by these novels. Second, in this publicity and distribution activity, some reporters may have made it difficult, and Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Johnson persuaded for a long time, but did not persuade Li Mo.
Bantam Books had no choice but to accommodate Li Mo.
Li Mo still has a lot of books, although the first few books will be overhauled in the future, but there are still them, the third part of the dinosaur, it seems that the Da Vinci Code has a sister chapter, and there are two more multi-part seven novels in the future, a total of nine.
Will Li Mo not write in the future?
In addition, there are comic adaptations of these novels...... The most important thing is which anime comic adaptations Li Mo is holding in his hand, if it weren't for the Hollywood studios pressing, the Minions comics would have been published and distributed, these are all big IPs, whether it is books or comics, the number of distributions is calculated in millions, especially the dinosaur trilogy, in North America alone, the number of copies distributed may reach tens of millions in the future.
Li Moxin's heart has never been dark, didn't that book make bantams make a lot of money?
The God of Wealth was petty, and the bantam had no choice but to back down. After negotiating a new contract, Johnson asked, "Lee, when will your two animations start filming?"
"Minions are probably still early...... However, when the technology such as The Lion King Disney is a little mature, it plans to start filming, and Pixar is also preparing for the start of Toy Story filming. ”
"Li ......"
"Johnson, you and I have been dealing with each other for a long time, and it can even be said that you have watched me grow from a yellow-haired boy to a young man, you know my temperament, clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, I am a person who misses the old and attaches great importance to feelings, as long as you don't overpress, I won't choose a second publishing house. ”
"Thank you," Johnson said happily shaking hands with Lee.
Li Mo went around several companies again and explained that "Snowpiercer" was released.
It's August 21st.
The main reason is that the old card has been re-modified, and once it is modified, some shots need to be re-done.
Several senior executives of Warner Bros. gritted their teeth and said that Cameron would never be invited to make films again. Jurassic Park exceeded the budgets of Paramount and Universal, but the excess budget was less than $20 million, less than 30 percent. Cameron is more than 100 percent!
Li Mo hehe...... Exceeding the budget, when the big ship in the future finally comes out at the box office, you want Lao Ka to make a film for you beyond the budget, and people may not agree! But Li Mo has a good relationship with Lao Ka and Schwarzenegger, and they also took out some money to let the two funds manage it for them.
The premiere was at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, which has nothing to do with Li Mo being Chinese, and many Hollywood movie premieres have chosen to play here.
In 87, it was also a quasi-blockbuster, and many stars walked the red carpet with many stars, and Li Mo also found an actress who was pleasing to the eye, an actress who was temporarily unknown and no one paid attention to it at all...... and then regarded her as a partner on the red carpet.
The little Georgian girl was overjoyed and kept saying, "Lee, you are my idol." ”
"Li, can you sign me later?"
"Li, why did you pick me?"
"Roberts, because you have a big mouth, you talk a lot ......"
Julia Roberts wilted all of a sudden...... It's not that she talks a lot, it's that Li defaults to not many actresses, and she is the most famous of them. However, Li Mo's next sentence made her happy again, and said, "Just sit next to me tonight, remember, make use of this opportunity." ”
Mixed noble circles, they all understand.
Along the way, Roberts held Li Mo's hand, like a bird, and attracted the attention of countless people at once, especially which reporters, frantically taking pictures, talented and beautiful, whether it is a real partner or a fake partner, this is the first time Li Mo is looking for a "partner" in the United States, and there will be a report tomorrow.
There were also some girls shouting loudly on the side: Little, let go of Lee's hand.
Did their shouting work? Roberts instead pulled Li Mo tighter, and almost shrank into Li Mo's arms.
Entering the movie theater, Steve Ross asked, "Lee, do you know her?"
What is the story behind Li Mo and Roberts, Ross will not ask, as long as they know each other, it will be easy to do, and Ross can be a favor.
"I don't know, but I think she has a good temperament and will definitely become a famous star in the future, so I asked her to be a companion on the catwalk. ”
Roberts was even more excited, so to speak, half of Hollywood's big studios had a good relationship with Limer, which is a well-known secret in the circle. As for the old man with a big cigar in his mouth, she knew better.
As soon as she was "excited", she almost shrank in Li Mo's arms, and Li Mo gestured her head helplessly...... Li Mo has also grown up at this time, and he will be a little longer, but he will not grow too much in the future, and his height is okay, about 1.75 meters, Li Mo estimates that his height in the future will not be less than 1.77 meters, no matter how tall he is, it will only be 1.78 meters, maybe he will keep up with his nutrition in this life, and his height will be slightly higher than in his previous life. But now he's just as tall as Roberts...... However, Roberts is wearing high heels again, how to shrink?
"Miss Roberts, I just see that you have eyes and don't have any other ideas...... And I've always liked to help others," Li Mo whispered in her ear.
Don't use your circle against me, and you're really not my thing.
But others don't think so, Lao Ka and Schwarzenegger, as well as Lao Si, who came over to the catwalk in friendship, frequently looked at Li Mo and Roberts.
