Chapter 116: Comprehensive Cooperation (Part II)

The negotiations with the Ukrainian company are carried out in an orderly manner, and both sides have the intention of cooperation, so it is not easy to negotiate and collapse, but the unhurried attitude of the Ukrainian company surprised Li Xuechu. *,,

Negotiating on their own land, DreamWorks won't delay anything else anyway, and it's okay to slow down, but the Ukrainian company is so empty? At this pace, let's talk about the last month.

Whatever, I'm really not in a hurry anyway. Although DreamWorks really needs a European partner, as the company gradually expands in Europe, even if it doesn't come, sooner or later other European companies will come to seek cooperation, and there are so many European companies.

"Boss, Mr. Schiller will meet with you tomorrow."

That's normal, supposedly they should have been in a hurry.

"Okay, did Mr. Schiller say when he's coming?"

"At nine o'clock in the morning, if you still have something to do, boss, you can also make an appointment in advance."

"No, nine o'clock is nine o'clock."

After all, it is a good partner, and the relationship must be maintained without saying whether the negotiation is successful.

The Germans are notoriously punctual, and when they arrived at Li Xuechu's office, they were about two minutes ahead of the agreed time, which was quite accurate.

"Lee!" The fragrant 'man-bear' enthusiastically stepped forward and stretched out his fan-like palm.

Resisting the urge to sneeze, Li Xuechu smiled and reached out to shake him.

"Mr. Schiller, have you had any fun in the past few days in Xiangjiang?"

"Of course, Xiangjiang is a charming city, and the prosperity here is much more than I imagined." Xiangjiang is indeed more prosperous than the people and bears expected. In the eyes of Europeans in the 80s, Asia was basically equated with poverty and backwardness. Not only Xiangjiang, but also Japan is not to be seen by Gao.

"Our host is a little incompetent, I'll take you around in two days, there are still a lot of interesting places here."

"It's a good building, I'm very interested in this place, but let's wait until it's done."

"Mr. Schiller's attitude is truly admirable." Li Xuechuyan couldn't help but praise it. This thing didn't get involved in the negotiation much, and if it wasn't for sitting in the hotel, it would have been almost the place to play.

"Thank you." Foreigners have never been modest.

"Let's sit down and talk." Li Xuechu was a little uncomfortable. Many foreigners have a strong body odor, and perfume is a daily necessity for them, but for Orientals, this smell is not very pleasant.

"Of course." With a crunch, the sand was subjected to another extreme load. The 'man-bear' writhed on the sand and adjusted his sitting position.

"This sand is good." Man Bear complimented.

"If you like it." Li Xuechu glanced at the sand that was sitting under him, and was quite worried that the praised sand would suddenly disconnect. If this thing had a life, it would probably think it was being abused.

After adjusting his sitting posture, Renxiong began to get down to business: "Mr. Li, your company's quotation is a bit high, which is not in line with the laws of business, after all, your company's assets are not very large."

"Mr. Schiller, I suggest that you take a hard look at our company's profitability in the past two years. In terms of earnings, I don't think our company's offer is very high. ”

"Your company's achievements are admirable, but this may not be the case every year, after all, there are many film companies that make money in the early stage and then do not make money or even go out of business every year. Without assets as collateral, the risk is still very high. ”

"Mr. Schiller, there is no such thing as an industry without risk." If it's a profitable company, do I want you to do it?

"You have a point. It's better to be like this, we are just a film company, and we are not familiar with other industries involved in your company, so why don't we only position the field of cooperation in film, what do you think?"

Li Xuechu shrugged: "I think it's good."

He didn't believe that Wu was only interested in movies, otherwise why didn't he say it before? It's just that I can't see what is cheap, so I retreat to the next best thing and only focus on movies. After all, this is indeed their main business.

"If Ukraine only invests in the film branch, what will your offer be?" The bear leaned forward, as if trying to get closer so he could hear the other's reply. The two-meter-tall man leaned forward, and there was really some pressure invisibly.

However, Li Xuechu has also been accustomed to all kinds of shopping mall tricks in the past two years, which really has little impact on him.

"We need to recalculate it, and we can get back to you in two days."

"Mr. Li, your film company doesn't have any assets, I don't think it's anything difficult." The bear still tried to force the opponent to show his hole cards directly.

"I don't agree with that, all films are just a piece of film, just like an oil painting is really just paper and paint. What is inside determines his value. Our company has always done a good job, and I think that's why you're willing to work with us. ”

If the film branch doesn't include the special effects company, to put it bluntly, it is still a semi-leather bag company until now. Write a script or buy a script, set a schedule, allocate funds, form a crew, find a director and find actors, and live together. The venue is affiliated with the head office, and there are not many artists and directors under it, the biggest star is only one brother, and several other people like Liang Jiahui and Ren Dahua have not yet broken into the big name, and the salary is not high.

However, Li Xuechu, who has so many film and television resources in hand in later generations, doesn't want to be cheap in vain. Do you want to divide the fruit? Then spit something out first, otherwise how can there be so many good things waiting for you?

This cannot be wrong. So how much do you think is reasonable for a film company?"

"The package doesn't include a special effects company? This is also part of the film production zuò. ”

"We don't plan to touch on special effects for the time being." West Germany has a very good electronic foundation and a lot of hardware and software talents, but there are still not many people interested in special effects, and of course they are not interested in investing in foreign special effects, unless it is Hollywood.

"That's a shame." The special effects company is the branch company with the most pressure, and I am not sure whether it can make a profit.

"If you only count the film branch, the assets will not be very high"

The 'man-bear' seemed to be very interested and leaned forward again, supporting his knees with his hands, and staring at Li Xuechu with straight eyes, the angle between his body and the ground was almost thirty degrees.

"I think a billion is a very reasonable price, of course, we can negotiate the specific price slowly."

'Man-Bear' straightened up in disappointment. Leather bag company sells for a billion? Do you really think we picked up our money?

"It's not a normal price, I don't think anyone will accept it, are you sure?"

If there is no experience in later generations, Li Xuechu also knows that this price is ridiculous. But I can't use this reason to convince others, so I can only love to buy it.

"Mr. Schiller, you should look at our company's earnings statement."

"I've learned that if it's a sales company, the price can be considered, even if you don't have too many fixed assets. But for studios, the price is great. Before the results come out, no one knows whether the next movie will make money or lose money. To put it bluntly, we are not much different from gamblers. ”

Unless there are special circumstances, all movies are basically made for profit, but after the production of zuò comes out, more than half of the movies are loss-making, even when the industry is booming.

"Even if I'm a gambler, I'm a qualified gambler, am I? Our company's films are almost non-profit. Li Xuechu said with a smile.

"This aspect of your company is really enviable." This person bears are not easy to refute. Whatever the reason, this cannot be denied after all. If another company dares to ask for such a price, he will already shoot the case and leave, and he will not be patient to continue to chirp with him.

"But this is obviously out of my authority, I need to get authorization from headquarters, otherwise I can only terminate the negotiations." The 'human bear' secretly looked forward to changing his mind, after all, he could see that the other party also had the intention of cooperating.

"That's a pity, but even if the negotiation doesn't work out, I don't think it will affect our original relationship, right?"

"Maybe." The man-bear was doomed to disappointment. However, he can't talk to death, after all, the interests of both sides are still relatively consistent.

"I think let's talk about this first, I need to report to the head office as much as possible, and you might as well think about it more."

"We will, Mr. Schiller, you might as well relax in Xiangjiang in the afternoon, there are many good places here, if you need a guide, you may wish to contact us."

"Thanks, but let's work first, I'm already very impressed here."

Sending away the 'human bear', Li Xuechu actually had some difficulties. If you want to make a big business, it is obviously not possible to rely on the Xiangjiang market alone, even if it is counted as a whole of Asia. To put it bluntly, all markets in Asia are xenophobic, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, all markets are getting narrower and narrower, and many companies are feeling the pressure.

At this time, it is undoubtedly a good way out to tie foreign companies, especially European and American companies, to their own interest chains. But the two ships are tied together, and others are no smaller than themselves, so it is really a question of who will follow whom when the time comes. In the final analysis, my achievements have not yet reached the point where others look at me differently, and there is still a way to go.

This condition, not to mention others, the personnel within their own company feel that it is too high, but if they really lower the conditions, they are not reconciled. There's no way, I have to make some more achievements, and then people will think that the price is reasonable, but I'm afraid that my conditions will go up again, hehe.

The greatest happiness of a traverser is the huge resources accumulated in the mind, and the longer the span, the more advantages there are. Of course, it is not absolute, and many things will be scrapped a few decades earlier, but it is just right for now. There are still more than ten years to go until the new millennium, and there is nothing wrong with eating alone for a few more years, and it is not yet time to be in a hurry. (To be continued.)
