The strong man like a man and a bear sat down in the leather sand, and immediately fell into the boss. The corners of Li Xuechu's eyes couldn't help jumping slightly, worried about the quality of the sand.

'Man Bear', like other foreigners, goes straight to the topic in less than three sentences.

"Long-term cooperation is also in line with the wishes of both of us, after all, we have had several pleasant cooperation experiences, but I don't know what kind of cooperation your company mainly wants to carry out?" If there is a reliable partner in Europe, Li Xuechu is also happy to see it, but the conditions have to be said first, and if the conditions are not good, the rest of the things have to be discussed.

"The achievements of your company in the past two years are admirable, which is why our company is here. We know that your company's favorite way of cooperation is still to divide the main, and in this regard, the Ukrainian company can make some appropriate concessions, and at the same time, our Ukrainian company is also interested in the production of films. In addition, we have some interest in the equity of your company. I think the areas of cooperation between the two sides could be much broader. ”

The initiative in sharing is a good thing that DreamWorks dreams of. DreamWorks can take a share in Europe and the United States, which is a good thing that is the envy of local peers, but although the profit is high, the risk is not small. Most of the works of Xiangjiang companies cannot be sold at a good price in Europe and the United States, and most companies still prefer to buy out and get money in drought and flood protection.

However, let Wu participate in the system, which can't help but make me think more. Many of his works were copied from later Hollywood, and it is estimated that he will not be copied less in the future. It wouldn't be a good thing if Wu was stolen by them in the process of participating in the system. Although German films in the original history were not very competitive until the new century, Li Xuechu did not dare to guarantee that he would follow this trajectory now. It's even worse to let him take a stake. Unless he is willing to pay much more than the current market price, he loses money.

I thought about it. Li Xuechu didn't directly refuse: "I can't reply to you about these things for the time being." Mr. Schiller, you have come from afar. Why don't you take a break, we'll give you an answer tomorrow. ”

The 'man-bear' expressed his understanding disapprovingly.

"That's why I'm here. The cooperation was agreed upon during the negotiation process, and we had a good time working together before, and our respective areas of expertise were complementary, so I am full of confidence in the cooperation between our two companies. ”

"Me too, hopefully in a few days, we can say goodbye happily."

"Hehe, it will, I'm sure of that."

"I think so."

Wu and Hasbro are not the same. Hasbro is a simple competitor, how much energy can be fished, the Ukrainian company is a partner, and there are still many places where they have to rely on each other.

After sending away the 'man-bear', Li Xuechu simply summoned a group of management to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, in addition to the film industry, the two do have a lot of places where they can cooperate, among which Li Xuechu values the most is the large-scale Zuò movie.

The special effects company has been established, and the cost is also expensive. Although he is not short of those two money, the normal operation of the company mainly depends on its own profitability. However, the demand for special effects in Hong Kong films is very low. Not to mention the present, even in the future. After all, the cost of film production in Xiangjiang Company has always been low, and with the significant increase in the remuneration of directors and artists, the money spent on special effects and other aspects is even more stretched.

Limited by a small local market. The exhibition of the Heung Kong Film Company has been hindered, and even the special effects company has been slow and malnourished for a long time, and it has been in the future generations. The domestic film industry has also developed, but there is also not much to do with special effects. There is Hollywood at the high end. The cost advantage is local, and the Xiangjiang special effects company may not be as good as the film company.

Speaking of domestic special effects. In later generations, most Chinese people had only one scumbag in their impression, and when most domestic film companies approached them to make special effects, the price was pressed again and again. "Anyway, your level is so stinky, I might as well spend more money to find Hollywood to do special effects." There are also many companies that don't think about China at all, and go directly to the special effects Hollywood company.

Ironically, the largest customer of the domestic special effects company is also a Hollywood film company, and people give generous money, the budget is sufficient, and the special effects are not bad. When the audience praised Hollywood special effects, they didn't know that many special effects were made by Chinese people. Both ends are begging for others, but they dislike each other. The scale of the domestic film industry is not small, but the structure is deformed to the point of perversion.

"In fact, most of the cooperation intentions of the Ukrainian company can be considered, and the only possible differences are the price issue, which is mainly resolved through negotiations." Tang Jingnian still broke his expectations for this cooperation, if Ukraine acquired some or even most of the shares of DreamWorks, then there is no doubt that the company will have a long-term meal ticket, and the company's exhibition will be stable in the future.

In the eyes of most Xiangjiang people and even later generations of Chinese people, it is also a happy thing to be acquired, especially small and medium-sized companies. The boss cashed out and lived a chic life, and the employees had a greater backer, so they didn't have to worry too much about business risks, and they could guarantee income during drought and flood. And the Ukrainian company is obviously a good backer.

Li Xuechu also saw the expectations of a cadre and others, which was the problem he was most unwilling to face. With the experience of later generations as confidence, the problem of poor management that others are worried about is not too much pressure on me, not to mention that I am not short of money and have no desire to cash out. I'm not seventy or eighty anymore, so there's no need to think about a happy life all day long.

But it's hard to refuse openly.

"It's not a big deal to let someone else take a stake, but well. Our company's efficiency is so good, it must not be sold cheaply. Li Xuechu pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, the overall price of Oriental DreamWorks Company is 5 billion, but it can only sell 30% of the shares at most, and you will be responsible for this matter, Mr. Tang." ”

"Five billion?" Everyone was shocked, this price is too high, right?

"Of course, that's not that high. Our company has made so much money just selling toys, although now that the peak profit period has passed, there are still hundreds of millions a year, as well as film, animation, special effects, music and other branches, plus this building. It's worth five billion. ”

The more Li Xuechu talked, the more he felt that five billion was still low, so he immediately changed his words: "It's still worth six billion, five billion is a bit cheap." Mr. Tang. If you can convince the Ukrainian company to buy shares for more than six billion, the company will give you a bonus. Remember, this is the bottom line. Don't show your hole cards at the beginning. ”

Tang Jingnian smiled bitterly, he didn't have the ability to take this bonus. If the company has a big factory, there is still hope for five or six billion. But with a few patents and a few property rights, plus a building, it is really not kind to shout out 5 billion, let alone 6 billion, and the reserve price? Toys are selling well, but who knows if they will be able to make this kind of money in a few years?

The company's money-making branches have paid dividends on the peripheral sales and movies driven by animation, and the rest have not made any money. The animation itself doesn't make much money, and the music doesn't either. The investment in special effects is not small, and now the project has not even started, and I am not optimistic about the special effects company.

"Okay, I'll try to talk." Tang Fat Man can only say this.

"However, the matter of film production is easy to discuss, and the special effects company will definitely operate, but the relative cost of the film will definitely increase, and it is estimated that there will be no less films with a budget of 20 million, 30 million or even higher in the future, if no one participates in the shares to share the risk. There's a lot of pressure. ”

Million? Or higher? Tang Fatzi's blood pressure soared in an instant. Now that the highest box office in Xiangjiang is less than 30 million, you plan to get 30 million at a cost, or more?

"I wonder how much it will cost to make zuò in the future?" Asked cautiously.

"Hundreds of millions are also possible, of course. It will definitely not be so high in the past few years, and it may be considered in a few years. ”

Tang Fat Man was dizzy for a while, oh my little heart.

Tang Jingnian is like this. The rest of the people have similar thoughts.

"It's not going to make money." Manager Liu is difficult first. "I don't know how many years will it take for the box office of Xiangjiang to reach 30 million, so let's do it like this. The pressure on the company is too great, and 30 million dollars saved is enough to make ten movies. ”

"The same cannot be said. Special effects companies also want to make money, and part of the cost is actually a matter of turning left hand to right hand. In the future, the ticket price will definitely be increased, and you see that the ticket price has been rising every year in the past few years. "Li Xuechu is already iron-hearted about the special effects of the exhibition.

'Nonsense! Manager Liu swallowed the dirty words that were about to blurt out into his mouth, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the future of the company. I only hope that in the future, the company will not make money and will not be thrown away by him. After all, in addition to this company, there are several other projects that can make money in his hands. Banking, Industrial

It's just that these are none of their business with DreamWorks, and everyone's future is still in this company.

"Boss, don't you think about it carefully." This kind of thing Tang Fat Man can't stay out of the matter, this company is also related to his own future, if the company is not good, he is bound to bear a lot of responsibility.

Zhang Guofang, the head of the special effects company, may be the only executive who is happy to see it happen. "That's right, the equipment and staff of the special effects company can consume a lot, if you don't run it to make a profit, every day of your leisure is at a loss, I'm in favor of large-scale production, future movies are destined to rely more and more on special effects, or why should we pull the audience from the TV to the cinema?"

"The advantage of the movie is the novelty of the subject matter and the story, as well as the quality of the director and actors, who said that it must rely on special effects?" Manager Liu immediately retorted.

Everyone quarreled, and Zhang Guofang, who was alone, immediately became the target of everyone. Everyone didn't dare to scold the boss, and they wouldn't be polite to him. The boss treats the newcomer special effects company too favorably, especially the person in charge of the film company, and the artist directors under the film company are only three or two kittens now, why is it so good to the special effects company?

"Okay, okay, one less word." Tang Fatzi couldn't look at it.

Everyone also felt that it was inappropriate, and slowly quieted down.

"Anyway, it won't work without special effects." Zhang Guofang muttered, was glared at by Tang Fatzi, and shut up stupidly.

Li Xuechu looked around, obviously most of them did not agree with his approach. In fact, no one in Xiangjiang has ever done this now, Shao Tycoon and Boss Zou have made a fortune in Hollywood, and when they return to Xiangjiang, they will make careful calculations, not because they worship foreign countries, but because the Xiangjiang market is too small. Shao Yifu's practice last year was obvious, Blade Runner invested 150 million, enough for Shaw Brothers to make dozens or hundreds of movies. The budget of Shaw Brothers movies is only a few dozen to a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, which is a rarity of five million.

"I'll deal with this matter step by step, after all, it's my own money, how could I not cherish it?" Although I don't think so, the reassurance work on the face must be done well. "What's more, there are others who share the risk with us, not to mention the rest, the money for special effects really falls into our pockets, do it beautifully, you know that you can't make money if you make a big production?"

When you think about it, it makes sense. No matter what, after all, the special effects company has invested so much money, and there must be something to do.

Tang Jingnian saw that this matter was almost discussed, and then said: "Then the cooperation with Wu's film production is mainly set on more than 10 million movies, which is good for everyone." ”

"That's what I thought too." Li Xuechu nodded.

Everyone has no opinion, of course, it is risky to pull investment, and there is no need to share money with people for small-budget movies.

In this way, it seems that the negotiations with Ukraine will be carried out easily, and everyone is not interested in sharing money with Ukraine for low-cost comedies or horror films, so it is appropriate to use blockbusters to attract investment and share market risks. The movies of later generations may not necessarily be able to make money if they are taken out in advance, not to mention that the big production zuò mainly wants to return to the capital or make money, and it can only rely on other cities, which is not a small risk.

"And the sharing thing, that's the most important thing, according to the European market, an extra percentage point is a lot of money."

"Yes, according to Wu's intentions, there must be some concessions in this matter, and I don't know how much I will concede."

"Just look at the conditions he opens tomorrow, I don't think I will let too much, especially when the acquisition is basically no play." Most people already think that acquisitions are not to be discussed.

"It's hard to say, I won't know until we talk about it."

In fact, in addition to the issue of acquiring equity, Li Xuechu and everyone wished that someone would come to the door to cooperate. It's no wonder that Xiangjiang has never had any big productions, this limitation is too great. If you want to engage in a large-scale system, it is best to have a partner, especially foreign businessmen, and in this regard, the Ukrainian company is undoubtedly the best candidate. The line of strength is weak, but you have to be careful not to make people look strong, and when the time comes, you will kick yourself out, and it will be a big loss.

Why can't movies in some countries be exhibited, Li Xuechu is not a professional, so he doesn't understand. The domestic self knows something, but West Germany is logically not as bad as the domestic restrictions, and people are not short of money, so what is it for?

Forget it, it's a good thing for me anyway, but I'm going to save a snack for myself. Between companies, cooperation is for profit, and betrayal is also for profit. (To be continued......)

ps: I have something to do tomorrow and ask for a day off, so let's talk about it first. The update during this period of time is unstable, and the content doesn't seem to be very satisfying, there are really too many miscellaneous things, and it's better after a while
