Chapter 1744: Black Hole Records
Speaking of Stan Lee, this guy is a well-deserved hegemon in the American comics industry.
The well-known characters such as "Spider-Man", "Iron Man", "X-Men", and "The Avengers" are all from him, and recently with Marvel Comics, a large number of film and television adaptations of comics were sold to the newly established Marvel Studios.
However, the share is not much, only about 10% of the total cost, after all, they are all old comics, and most of the superhero movies that were filmed in the past, except for Superman and Batman, ended up hitting the streets, and the creators at that time didn't care about film and television copyrights.
After Han Xuan greeted him, he was received by a group of Marvel executives who arrived quickly after receiving the news, visited their company headquarters, and also saw the new script of the "Spider-Man" movie and the script of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" movie.
For the appearance of Joseph Levitt, the actor who starred in the "Spider-Man" movie, he is generally quite satisfied, and he recognized him when he saw the photo, in his previous life "500 Days with Shamo" and "Inception" movies, Levitt appeared, and he can be regarded as a powerful American actor who can barely squeeze into the first-line star, which is enough to see from the good reputation of these two movies.
Ramirez hadn't come yet, he called Han Xuan and said that his driver had hit and injured a dog crossing the road with his car, and he wanted to send the poor little guy with a broken leg to the pet hospital first.
There I met Mr. Ortega, the founder of ZARA, who has recently become famous in the fashion circle, but the shopping mall is thriving, thanks to the large amount of capital injection of the hoops group a few years ago, the company managed by him has opened a large number of new direct stores, which have covered more than 40 countries around the world, and the sales of products have increased year by year, further driving the value of Han Xuan's grandmother.
At present, there is no plan to list it, because ZARA's cash flow is not a problem, so there is no need to rush to go public, in the eyes of other companies in the same industry, ZARA is like a rat poop that has stained the entire fashion circle, originally they thought that with the expansion of the company's scale, ZARA will change the plagiarism style and start to design products independently.
However, it turns out that they think too much, what was like before, what is still what ZARA is now, as long as which trendy clothes sell well, it will not be long before similar low-priced products will appear in the wardrobes of ZARA retail stores in about two weeks.
If you lose a lawsuit, you are willing to pay a sum of money, but then you will continue to plagiarize, often a lawsuit is not over, and a new lawsuit has begun, which is like a dog skin plaster, which makes them annoyed.
It's not that no one found Han Xuan's grandmother and reported this problem to her, but Ms. Tang Wan is not a fool, she won't do the stupid thing of giving up high profits for the sake of fame, anyway, ZARA is just a subsidiary of the hoops group, even if its reputation is stinky, it can't involve the parent company, everyone knows that ZARA is a subsidiary of the hoops group, and each company is an independent individual.
Excuse herself and say that the affairs of the ZARA company are handled by Ortega, and she never interferes in the specific management of ZARA, so she said that others will not be able to continue to talk about it, and Grandma Han Xuan made it clear that she didn't want to take care of this matter, otherwise with the absolute controlling position of the hoops group in ZARA, she could easily change the practice of ZARA plagiarism.
ZARA brand has changed the traditional practice of the clothing industry, is committed to allowing consumers to wear the latest fashionable low-cost clothing, with the development of SOS transportation company, the global flow of goods is more rapid, there are production plants on each continent, Asia in China, North America in Mexico, are located in countries with lower human resource costs, and then quickly shipped out, always in the forefront of keeping up with the trend, winning in the clothing sales industry with small profits and quick turnover.
Han Xuan chatted with Ortega for a long time, and had to admire this self-made elderly Spaniard, who has a very good set of business skills, and his ideas about the future development of ZARA are very perfect, neither radically trying to expand rapidly, nor getting involved in other industries because of ZARA's expansion, and only planning to run ZARA well......
At this moment, Mr. Ortega saw a bearded middle-aged man in a yellow robe, stood up and said with a smile: "Han, let me introduce you to Mr. Al Thani, the younger brother of King Hamad of Qatar, who is my friend. ”
Qatar is a small country in the Middle East, not far from the Emirate of Dubai, and it is also a country rich in oil resources, and the royal family members are all rich, Han Xuan's mind quickly appeared in the country's information, and he also remembered the turmoil that occurred in Qatar in 1995, and King Hamad successfully ascended the throne after that incident.
When he became king, he carried out drastic reforms in Qatar, employing a large number of young people, improving the status of women, and making Qatar a relatively enlightened country in the Middle East.
He also learned from the Emirate of Dubai and understood that oil could only be used as a pillar industry for a certain period of time, so he tried to find other ways to make money, such as vigorously developing high-end service industries in China and making large foreign investments.
All this has made Qatar the world's highest GDP per capita in just a few years, and the locals are very wealthy, and Hamad has created wealth for Qatar while also working to increase its international influence, often spending huge sums of money on sports events, and creating world-class media.
Recently, oil resources have not been sold, and these local tyrants from the Middle East have money in their hands, so they have been active in the world business circle for a long time, looking for people to help make suggestions, and then investing heavily in various industries.
Standing up and shaking hands with the other party, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Welcome to the United States, Mr. Al Thani." ”
"Hello, Han, on behalf of the members of the Qatari royal family, I extend my sincerest greetings to you.
Your big investment has made the economy of the Emirate of Dubai continue to grow, and my brother King Hamad has mentioned you many times and I hope you can visit us in Qatar, which is no worse than Dubai. ”
The smile on Mr. Al-Thani's face is harmless, showing the friendliest side in front of him, for today's Middle Eastern countries, Han Xuan is simply a savior-like existence, no matter which country's top level, I hope that he can help the development of his own country as much as he helped the development of the Emirate of Dubai......
