Chapter 64 Genting Group
In October, the first part of XCOM was finally launched.
This is the second holographic film in the world.
The speed of the launch and the speed of the launch surprised everyone - Queen Fengya got the key extension and is not offline yet.
If there is no competition of the same kind, even if it is put on for a year, it can be taken offline without it. Wasn't Avatar back then?
In this case, the first part of XCOM Ghost Jar was launched, and it was still a blockbuster Xianxia blockbuster, which instantly caused a boom.
Fortunately, Xingsheng Cinema has been expanded in advance at this time, and a large number of holographic devices have entered - although overseas is the first batch, China directly crushed overseas in the follow-up wave, and 4,000 sets were launched at one time.
There are only 2,500 sets abroad.
The main reason for this is the Xingsheng Cinema Line - Li Xianyun agreed not to charge money for the first time, requiring each theater to have two holographic theaters.
So Xingsheng alone provided nearly 3,000 sets of additions, and as for Xingsheng, I'm sorry, Lao Tzu doesn't pay on credit.
But even so, there are still many theaters that grit their teeth and add them. Everyone knows that there is no hope for holographic theaters to reduce prices, in this case, it is very important to grab a start.
Cinema halls generally have a 30% attendance rate to make a proper profit, and an 80% attendance rate is definitely easy to manage.
The existence of a total of 8,000 holographic theaters at home and abroad made the box office of UFO Ghost Jar directly explode on the first day, reaching an astonishing 400 million meters of gold!
The 8,000 cinemas are simply full of rhythm.
That's it, Queen Fengya, who has just become the world's top box office with a box office of 3.1 billion, is about to be ousted from the throne of the world's top box office.
Jointly produced by Shengyun Pictures and Yisheng Studios, UFO Ghost Jar produces two films at a time, with a total investment of 680 million including publicity, but in fact, 550 million is Yisheng Studios, Yisheng post-production, Yisheng special effects, Yisheng rehearsal, Yisheng brokerage and Yisheng publicity and distribution are undertaken in the form of resources, and at the same time obtain eighty percent of the box office revenue.
This is where the problem lies.
When Shengyun Pictures was still Yisheng Pictures, Yisheng Pictures got nearly half of the profits, and the two sides were separated, sorry, everything was scored clearly.
The global box office of the first part of the UFO Ghost Jar is expected to exceed 4 billion meters, creating a new box office ceiling, and the revenue from account sharing is not less than 9 billion Chinese dollars, but I'm sorry, Shengyun Pictures takes 20%, only 1.8 billion in revenue.
This is how the capitalists draw blood.
In order to inflate when it was listed, all kinds of concessions had to be calculated clearly after the separation, and the income plummeted.
However, in order to avoid the decline being too severe, the bosses of all parties have been prepared for this.
The best way to solve this problem is to go fast!
Take advantage of the two-year production monopoly period of holographic films, and quickly launch a batch of movies - you don't need to do it too well, what you sell is holographic! As long as the holographic characteristics can be brought into play, the film will not be sold.
So before Shengyun went public, Zheng Honghui and they prepared a batch of books, and after Shengyun went public, they directly started continuous shooting, and they used Yisheng Studios to the rhythm of death - they are also smart, add cash and subtract shares, so as to maximize their own interests.
It is impossible not to give a share at all.
This kind of batch practice will lead to a decline in the essence of the film, but it doesn't matter, after all, holographic movies are destined to belong to everyone, so how to develop in the future is none of our business?
Therefore, Shengyun Pictures has been listed for half a year, and there are as many as four films that have been made alone, with an investment of no less than 200 million yuan in a single film, and there are five more that are being filmed, in addition to a large number of films co-produced with foreign film and television companies.
Zheng Honghui They know very well that it is not easy for film and television to go to sea, but they hold the trump card of holographic film exclusivity, and they can co-produce with foreign film and television companies, in the past six months, there have been more than 20 holographic films that have been prepared and will be filmed, each accounting for more than 50% of the share.
In this case, although XCOM could not bring a lot of profit to Shengyun Pictures, the mass production was enough to meet the profit demand - and this also brought a large number of orders to Yisheng Studios.
Shengyun waved the money of shareholders and charged ahead, making every effort to develop overseas markets, while Yisheng Studios took over the business steadily, grabbed profits, and ate with a mouth full of oil.
And the popularity of the launch and holographic of XCOM also made Creed and others confused - this development speed is too fast, and the development judgment based on 3D is like using the traditional industry to measure the Internet, which is a huge empirical error.
Now the situation is obvious, holographic equipment to fully replace 3D is just around the corner, in the next five years, the world to reach 70,000 sets of theater equipment is not a dream.
Even if it is based on 50,000 sets, the local market of the United States may reach 20,000 sets.
The subsidiary purchased 2 million meters, and the gross profit in five years was 3 million, which is 60 billion meters of gold, that is, the gross profit of 12 billion meters of gold in a single year, and the net income was not less than 10 billion meters of gold, which is only the rice market.
The annual revenue of the entire Genting Group will not be less than 30 billion meters.
In other words, as long as it reaches 50,000 sets, Genting Group will have a goose factory.
It's still unlisted.
Normal.
After all, hologram devices should be aimed at apples, not goose factories.
The biggest difference between the latter two is that the ceiling of the goose factory is Huaguo, and the ceiling of apples is the world!
And the ceiling of Genting Technology is the world!
Enterprises that develop on a global basis are high-end industries, and it is normal for the volume of enterprises to exceed one trillion and profits to exceed 100 billion - Apple's market value is two trillion, which is still Mijin!
It is basically impossible for Genting Technology to reach two trillion meters of gold, after all, it is not a home device, and the market is not so big, but if you are willing to go public, the volume of two trillion Chinese coins can still be rushed.
In this case, the once limited clause has become the biggest constraint, like a noose around the neck of a fierce horse, so the shareholders of all parties have proposed to lift the restriction clause.
For this reason, Yisheng Media, Genting Head Office, and the shareholders of various subsidiaries also launched a fierce debate.
Yisheng Media naturally hopes that the higher the price of lifting the terms and conditions, the better, but Universal, Disney, Baike, Oren and other companies also have their own reasons.
The simplest reason, everything that is now envisaged is based on a premise - there are no competitors.
But will Genting really always have no competitors?
Impossible.
In fact, they didn't wait for the queen of elegance to go online, but when the first batch of holographic theater equipment appeared in the United States, overseas technology companies have begun to increase their investment in holographic image technology.
Waiting for the upper limit of the XCOM ghost will only allow the major groups to invest in holographic film technology to a new level.
Holographic film technology is not an exclusive technology, Genting Technology is just doing better than others and at a lower cost, and this advantage is not impossible to break through. And modern scientific research, sometimes it is a burning of money - we don't have Professor Zhao in our family, but we have money!
Enough money!
According to Universal Disney, it won't be long before technologies that bypass Genting Technology's patent restrictions will emerge.
Even if the core optical parts of Chaoshen Technology are not patented, and the materials and technical processes are not leaked, it is useless - I can't make your kind of optical parts, but I can make something else.
That's right, just like Apple and copycats.
If you can buy technology, you can buy it, if you can't buy technology, you can go around it, and if you can't get around, you will be replaced by inferior quality.
Mobile phones can have high, medium and low-end, holographic devices can also have - million-dollar rents are windfall profits, which means huge room for price reduction.
As long as I research it, I don't want a million rent, I just want a million selling price - the production line is there, the quality is reduced, and the cost is naturally low.
Then there was the market dumping, and profits and sales fell sharply.
Therefore, the holographic film market may be more than 70,000 sets in the future, but Genting Technology may not be able to ensure a market of 50,000 sets.
In particular, the sequelae of the lease also appeared at this moment - the lease can be refunded.
With other alternatives, the theater can choose to quit the lease.
There is no such thing as a one-and-done one-and-done.
To this end, Disney Worldwide and other companies have come up with the information they have gathered, including some of the patents they have applied for.
After studying the information, Professor Zhao confirmed that although Disney Worldwide and other companies have exaggerated, it is also true - according to the current situation, it is very likely that the first batch of low-end holographic devices will appear on the market in two years at most.
In this case, Li Xianyun believes that instead of wasting too much time and competing for interests with shareholders, it is better to seize time to compete for the market, and besides, there will be so many holographic movies on the line, so he also made concessions.
This was also the fastest negotiation, and in just half a month, the parties basically reached an agreement. On the basis of the original agreement, the overseas companies will pay a total of 38 billion meters of gold and lift all restrictions on sales in the market.
As for the head office, Miao Hui and other shareholders only need to make up another 60 billion Chinese dollars, considering that the head office itself owns 33 percent of the shares of all subsidiaries, plus the profits from the local market and equipment sales in Huaguo, this is already a price to take care of friends.
Hua Fengbin and Li Cheng They don't have so much cash in their hands, it's simple, Miao Hui and they can borrow money.
Of course, the side requirement is that each overseas sales subsidiary must seize the market as much as possible within two years, occupy the market before other companies develop it, and then adjust it according to the situation - if necessary, it can also change to lease to sales.
At the same time, after the head office completes the construction of the supply chain and develops the local market in China, it must also focus on their real responsibility - product development and upgrading.
Chaoshen Technology is doing scientific research, not products, and there is a difference between the two.
Holographic movies can't just eat the old book, so Genting Technology Headquarters will have to make more efforts in research and development in the future. After similar products come out to form competition, Genting equipment is likely to follow Apple's path and focus on seizing the mid-to-high-end market.
Then he called Jiang Zheng and asked Jiang Zheng to come over with 10 billion yuan and take the equity of eight points on the side of Genting.
In this way, the Genting Group, which has lifted the cap restrictions, can really let go of its hands and feet, and at the same time, the equity of Genting Group has also changed as follows:
Yisheng Media owns 60 shares of Genting Group Headquarters and 18% of all overseas subsidiaries.
Jiang Zheng owns an eight-point stake in Genting Group Headquarters.
Miao Hui, Tang Xia, Li Cheng and others own a total of 32 shares of Genting Group Corporation.
Then there is a group of foreign film and television companies, with corresponding subsidiary shares, with a total of 49%.
Genting Group owns 33% of the equity of all subsidiaries.
At the same time, Wu Ling and others have some options, which will be issued by the head office at that time.
And Yisheng Media also harvested 300 billion Chinese dollars in one go.
Looking at the money on the books, Li Xianyun finally called Li Cheng after thinking about it: "Increase industrial acquisitions." ”
