Chapter 376: The Fear of Being Dominated by Gacha
Yesterday, the Swiss-based International Children's Book Alliance announced the winners of the 1986 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustrator.
In the biennial competition, the Writer's Award was finally won by 65-year-old Australian writer Patricia Whitson, who represented ......
The Illustrator Award was also won by Robert Impan, a 50-year-old writer from Australia......
And the neon young writer Hideki Hanyu, who has been in the spotlight before and was nominated for the Illustration Award for the third time, was rejected again this time.
However, considering his age, the author believes that ......"
Smack-
Hideki Hanyu flicked off the newspaper.
Believe? Believe in a yarn!
I looked at the name of the newspaper, the Los Angeles Times.
Watching the fun media that he accompanies is not only neon?
Did even Americaka's media start making fun of him?
It seems that as long as you don't win the award, every Hans Christian Andersen Award will be pulled out of the shabu.
Fortunately, it wasn't the first time, and he was more or less used to it.
But that's a coincidence.
He first knew the Australian native girl,
Then Australian media mogul Murdoch set his sights on his cloud-based satellite TV.
Saved another Naomi Watts from Australia.
As a result, the Hans Christian Andersen Award has now lost to Australian writers.
Well......
Recently, I really got in touch with Kangaroo Country.
The highest-selling game in history is the Pokémon series.
After the launch of the third generation of electronic pets, the "explosion rate" of the high-end cards in the Australian card pack should be lowered.
The people of Kangaroo Country must feel the "kindness" from him.
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was unmoved, Eri Kitahara asked curiously, "Why didn't Hanyu-san react." ”
"It's not the first time, how can I react."
As he spoke, he put away the newspaper and stopped thinking about it.
Instead, he asked a few people, "How are the third-generation electronic pets ready?" ”
At the previous Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition, Genie Entertainment's main focus was not actually an upgrade of the Pokeball handheld, but an arcade machine equipped with a second-generation light gun.
It's only because of the surprise attack of Bandai and Nintendo that they have increased the importance of the Pokeball handheld upgrade.
At the upcoming E3 exhibition, the main product of Elf Entertainment is the third generation of electronic pets.
Of course, PS consoles, Pokeball handheld upgrades, new games, and arcade platforms will also be introduced.
It's just that the main promotion is the third generation of electronic pets.
After all, the second generation of electronic pets was successful in America, and Genie Entertainment is ready to continue the tradition.
The most important thing is that the third-generation electronic pet Hanyu Hideki has put forward some "reliable" opinions.
But from the beginning to the end of the research and development, he basically did not pay attention.
The hardware was jointly developed by the headquarters and Americarica, and the software was completed by the team led by Tomoshi Tajiri.
Hideki Hanyu didn't even take part in the test.
It can be said that this is the first hardware product that he has not participated in since the birth of Elf Entertainment.
Anyway, in the field of electronic pets, Elf Entertainment is dominant, and its market share is more exaggerated than that of the handheld market.
Hideki Hanyu just wants to use his advantage to exercise the independence of the team.
He was not afraid of making mistakes, but he was afraid that these people would not even be able to walk without him.
Michael Katz, who was next to him, heard him and replied, "Tajiri is taking someone to try out the model in the background, you can go and see it." ”
"Has the demo been shipped? Then I'm going to check it out. ”
After Hanyu finished speaking, he walked towards the backstage.
Several others followed.
Entering the backstage, Hideki Hanyu saw several staff members who were adjusting the game console, as well as Tajiri Tomo, who was directing next to him.
When everyone found out that Hideki Hanyu had come in, they all hurriedly said hello.
Hideki Hanyu said hello and asked Tajiri straight to the point, "Is the debugging done?" ”
"There are no problems with normal use." Tajiri replied.
Hanyu Hideki commanded, "Then show me first." ”
"Yes."
As he spoke, Tajiri picked up one of his latest electronic pets.
Looking at the appearance, it is still the classic red and white Poké Ball style in the game.
However, in terms of size, it is much larger than the second generation.
The most important thing is that the second-generation electronic Poké Poké Ball is only a hemispherical shape, and the flat side is where the screen and buttons are located.
The third generation of electronic pets, on the other hand, is a complete spherical shape.
After Tajiri pressed the previous sign in front of Hideki Hanyu in front of him, the upper part of the Poké Ball was bounced off.
Then a monochrome LCD screen was revealed, with the familiar three-button layout below.
Press the power button, as the boot LOGO of Elf Entertainment flashes, a prompt for inserting a card appears on the screen.
At this time, Tajiri picked up a rather small card from the table, with a blue background, printed with the image of a mosquito coil tadpole elf, and pet data information.
Tajiri didn't operate it immediately, but introduced the card to Hideki Hanyu first.
"Chairman Hanyu, the official name of this card is the Genie Card, and it is actually a plastic card with an integrated circuit chip that we purchased and further developed from the Identification Card technology registered by Kunitaka Arimura in 1970 and further developed it with our patented technology......
When introducing Hanyu to Hideki, Tajiri pointed his finger to the underside of the card, and he could see that there were several pieces of exposed metal in that position.
Hanyu thought to himself that this should be based on the development of IC card technology in the future.
Nowadays, this technology is not being taken seriously on a large scale in the world, except for France, which is promoting practical use.
After Tajiri finished speaking, he inserted the card vertically towards the third-generation electronic pet body.
The location is a little higher on the screen.
Although the whole elf card cannot be inserted completely, after the card is inserted, it does not affect the closure and closure of the upper cover.
Tajiri opened and closed the lid and demonstrated it several times.
Then he also grabbed the body and shook it all kinds of times, and after the signal card was inserted, as long as he didn't take the initiative to pull it out, it wouldn't fall off at all.
After the signal ended, Tajiri showed the picture to Hanyu Hideki again, and a string of prompts had already appeared on it at this time.
[Brave Pokémon trainer, congratulations on catching a mosquito coil tadpole, do you want to start raising it?] 】
After Tajiri chooses to confirm the breeding, the screen enters the main interface of the electronic pet.
The main interface looks a little more polished and has more features than the second generation, but the general framework has not changed.
Tajiri introduced it in due course.
"This generation of electronic pets can't play without a fairy card, but the main data is still stored in the body.
This avoids that once the elf card is damaged or lost, the original archive cannot be used, in that case, the consumer only needs to take the body or the bad card to the after-sales office to repair or make a new elf card. ”
Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu asked, "Have you tested the lifespan of the elf card?" ”
Tajiri replied, "I have tested it, and I have used it more than 10,000 times." ”
Then Tajiri introduced the function while demonstrating, "The new electronic pet has increased ......"
Eventually, he summoned a subordinate who was also holding an electronic pet with an elf card in his hand.
"Of course, the main thing about the new generation of electronic pets is the combat system."
As he spoke, he had already used a data cable to connect the electronic pet in his hand with the electronic pet of his subordinates.
The screen immediately prompts, "Warning! There are strange Pokémon trainers to challenge you! 】
The sense of immersion is full.
Once the battle begins, the new generation of electronic pets will be able to choose their own skills.
However, when the screen shows that Tajiri's mosquito coil tadpole is defeated, the battle is not over.
I saw Tajiri pull out the elf card of the mosquito coil tadpole, insert a yellow elf card printed with a small fire dragon again, and the battle continued.
"A duel of this electronic pet, each person can use three elf cards."
Speaking of this, Tajiri did not continue to demonstrate the duel, but sighed and said.
"I've read Hanyu's suggestion, and there are a lot of features that can't be used because of the limitations of hardware technology.
For example, you can switch pets to fight in a team at any time, instead of taking turns one by one.
In addition, because the multi-card slot cannot be realized, many of the envisaged functions cannot be realized, and some special sprite cards cannot be sold.
For example, the Evolution Gem Pokemon Card can be inserted into the Pokemon Card at the same time to perform special evolution.
And ......"
Tajiri said in a regretful tone that there are many functions that cannot be implemented due to the limitations of hardware performance.
After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled and comforted, "Tajiri-san don't have to regret it, I'm very satisfied that this electronic pet can do so much, these functions you said, let the new generation of products realize." ”
Speaking of which, he explained one more thing to Tajiri Tomo, "Cloud animation has already started preparations for the first theatrical version of Pokémon, and I hope that you will serve as the production consultant for the theatrical version after you finish your work at America." ”
"Yes." Tajiri agreed.
Hideki Hanyu did not forget to emphasize, "Whether it is a manga, a game, a TV anime, or a theatrical version of the anime, the story can be read according to the development, but it must cooperate with each other, and it must not be in the opposite direction, and it must be maintained under a complete world view." ”
"I see." Tajiri replied again.
Speaking of which, Hideki Hanyu picked up an unused electronic pet body on the table and asked, "What is the official name of this product?" ”
"Pokémon Fight." This time, it was Michael Katz who answered Hideki Hanyu.
"Is it really a straightforward name?" Hanyu Hideki sighed with emotion, and then asked, "What about the price?" ”
"First of all, let's talk about the elf cards, according to Mr. Hanyu's suggestion, in addition to holding events, the elf cards are sold in the form of card packs, one card pack has seven cards inside, and the price is twenty dollars."
Michael Katz's answer fell.
Hanyu asked, "Isn't it a little expensive?" ”
The unit price is almost three dollars, which is definitely not cheap in today's era.
"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, because of the production process of the elf card, the production cost of each pack of cards alone is close to ten dollars.
However, consumers who purchase Pokémon Fight will receive a random three-card pack, which will allow them to use it even if they don't buy it again. ”
Hanyu Hideki looked at the different colors of elf cards on the table, and continued to ask, "Do the colors of these elf cards represent rarity?" ”
Michael Katz nodded, "That's right, there are six colors of elf cards, which are the most numerous gray cards, the rare red, yellow, and blue cards, as well as the black special cards with similar odds, and the golden legendary cards. ”
Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu felt a profiteer's breath rushing towards him.
Inexplicably, there is a kind of fear of playing gacha games in the past life and being dominated by the operator.
Ordinary gray elf cards are facing upwards, which are directly rare, special and legendary, and there is really no chance for consumers to take advantage of them.
He doesn't have to guess to know that the random three-card packs that are given away will basically be in the gray card pool.
Of course, the promo packs will definitely make you get premium cards, but red, yellow, and smurf cards may be more probable.
But the black and gold elf cards, if they can be drawn with promo card packs, they are definitely super European emperors.
In this case.
Friends have an online battle, and everyone is using Pokemon cards of various colors to summon powerful Pokemon.
And the player with the attached basic card, in the way of being beaten by his friends, and the envy and jealousy in his heart, it is strange that he can hold back not krypton
And this kind of "gameplay" of krypton gold card drawing was once invented by Elf Entertainment.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of "evil deeds" will be caused.
In the future, players will discuss the evil kryptonite elf card mechanism, and he, as the boss of elf entertainment, will gain all kinds of malicious nicknames if he doesn't do well.
And those envelope metaphysics guys, when they draw cards, are likely to put his photo out and worship it.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
Fortunately, he was not involved in the work of the third generation of electronic pets from beginning to end.
He must be taken out of this matter.
Well......
Let's go back and let the propagandists print Tajiri's name a little bigger, plus the photo, who made this guy the design director of the third generation of electronic pets.
This black cauldron is none other than Tajiri Tomo.
There was also the press conference of this E3 exhibition, and he originally wanted to be in the limelight.
But now, Hanyu Hideki's eyes looked at Tajiri Tomo, and then at Satoshi Iwata, who looked "ignorant" next to him.
Since Michael Katz didn't like to be on the stand.
Then it's up to the two of you.
Thinking about how to arrange the backstabber, Hideki Hanyu remembered that there was one more thing he didn't ask.
"Have you decided on the retail price of your e-pet?"
Michael Katz went on to reply, "Without participating in the promotion, the bare metal plus a three-card pack for $39. ”
Compared with the second generation of electronic pets, this is not only not cheaper, but also increased by ten dollars.
Michael Katz explains in due course.
"The main reason is that the cost of hardware has risen due to the increase in features, which is already the lowest price we have suppressed, and considering that there will be various activities at the time of sale, the retail price will actually be a little lower."
Michael Katz naturally understands that with the elf card, the main profit of the third generation of electronic pets has changed from an electronic pet machine to an elf card.
To some extent, it can be regarded as a mini console platform.
Naturally, the higher the sales of the body, the better the sales of the final elf card.
But the problem is that the new generation of electronic pets has added too many features, causing the cost of hardware to skyrocket.
Thirty-nine dollars is already the limit of what Genie Entertainment can do.
Of course, at this price, Genie Entertainment is actually profitable.
The main reason is that in the electronic pet market, although Elf Entertainment does not have a complete monopoly, it can also be said to be a dominant company.
Without competitors, there is no need to deliberately pursue low price advantages.
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki almost finished asking what he wanted to ask.
He picked up a sprite card.
The design of the card is very exquisite, the feel is very good, and the production is very textured.
The exposed metal chips are even more technological in this era.
No guesswork is required to know that once the third generation of electronic pets succeeds.
The world will form an unprecedented secondary market for elf cards.
If you don't do it, there will be a variety of professional inverters and card issuers.
All kinds of metaphysical cards will be prevalent like never before.
Thinking of this, he felt that he could completely link it with the elf amusement park that did not have a single stroke.
For example, concocting a few rumors that it is easier to get rare cards in the elf amusement park can attract many non-chiefs to buy tickets to try their luck in the park.
It's a pity that he hasn't thought about the cooperation plan with the Seibu Group yet.
For the time being, this idea can only stay in the mind.
However, after the emergence of the secondary market, there will also be a problem, that is, pirated cards.
This kind of elf card developed based on IC card technology is not difficult to crack in the case of network authentication.
So he immediately asked, "What are you going to do to prevent pirated cards?" ”
As a result, Michael Katz's answer surprised Hideki Hanyu.
"We fully allow pirated cards to run on third-generation electronic pets."
But Michael Katz didn't wait for Hanyu Hideki to ask, and immediately explained.
"After consulting with the people in the Elf R&D Center, I realized that it was impossible to stop piracy with only electronic pet bodies, so we changed our thinking to prevent piracy?"
"What's the idea?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"That is, in the state of being connected, an authentication chip will be jointly activated......"
Michael Katzbala explains.
Hideki Hanyu suddenly realized, "In other words, pirated elf cards can be played on their own, but they can't be played online." ”
"That's right, and we're adding at least three dollars in hardware costs per unit just to make this happen." Michael Katz emphasized.
"Three dollars, that's a good deal."
Hanyu looked at the cards in his hand and felt that the person who came up with this idea was really a talent.
Those consumers who are not wealthy can buy pirated cards, any rare elf cards can be owned, and there is no problem with playing as traditional electronic pets.
But that's all.
You must know that starting from the second generation of electronic pets, the biggest selling point is the social attributes.
You worked hard to cultivate a pirated card, and then you can only watch it yourself, and you can't communicate and fight with your friends.
What's the point of working hard to keep a pet.
If you don't do it, you will be ridiculed by your friends.
Abandoning the prevention of pirated cards on the machine altogether and focusing only on disabling online connections will also make it easier to detect genuine and fake sprite cards, and the secondary market will benefit from this.
In this case, it seems that the use of pirated sprite cards is allowed, but in fact, from another perspective, the pirated cards are limited to an affordable range.
Achieving all of this at a cost of three dollars is a great deal.
"Very well, don't forget to reward this R&D team." Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry, I won't ignore this kind of thing." Michael Katz said.
After learning about the situation of Pokémon Fight.
Hideki Hanyu continued to communicate with several people, mainly about the things that Elf Entertainment should pay attention to at the E3 exhibition two days later.
Letting Tajiri and Iwata carry the black pot is just a trivial matter.
The main thing is to pay attention to the situation of competitors.
Bandai and Nintendo's WS handheld, although in Neon was held down temporarily.
But in America, it is still necessary to be careful.
Continue to implement the price war strategy, and always ensure that the Pokeball handheld is cheaper than the WS handheld, and maintain the market share to the greatest extent.
After nearly three years of market cultivation, Genie Entertainment has successfully activated the American video game market.
Started at the beginning of this year.
Whether it is a PS console or a Pokeball handheld console, or a game cartridge on both platforms, America's sales have ushered in explosive growth compared with last year.
The harvest season has arrived.
They didn't bother to create all this for the sake of making wedding garments for others.
And it's no secret that Sega and Nintendo developed sixteen-bit consoles.
No one would believe that those two spent money on developing new consoles just to make a name for themselves in the market.
Besides, the WS handheld that Nintendo and Bandai collaborated on was held down.
But Nintendo's disk drive still relied on a series of gimmicks to successfully cause a lot of repercussions in the market.
In this case, Genie Entertainment must not be taken lightly.
In this way, Hideki Hanyu and the others chatted for a long time in the background.
Even lunch is solved by eating fast food.
By the time they had finished their day's deliberations and Hanyu had left the Moscone Exhibition Center in San Francisco, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
By the time he returned to the hibiscus garden by helicopter, the sun was already setting in the west, ready to set beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
"I'm back."
Hanyu Hideki handed over the clothes in his hand to the Filipino maid Deng Na and greeted Liu Xiaoli.
"Next time, if it's too late, just rest over there."
Liu Xiaoli said as she pulled Hideki Hanyu to sit at the table, "Let's eat, a few dishes are your favorites." ”
"That's not good, I promised to stay with you all the time, how can I lose my word."
Hanyu Hideki sat down as he spoke, and looked at the dinner on the table, which was indeed his favorite dish.
Liu Xiaoli said softly, "The main thing is that you are flying around by plane, and I will be worried." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Hanyu Hideki was relieved and asked, "How was your chat with the real estate agent today?" ”
Liu Xiaoli replied, "It's very smooth, but if you want to sign the contract, you still have to meet the original owner." ”
"Harrison Ford?" Hanyu remembered who the owner of the house was.
"Yes." Liu Xiaoli said.
"When will we meet?"
"The real estate agent said that the other party was filming elsewhere and that it would take at least a week to come back."
"Then wait until he comes back."
It just so happened that Hideki Hanyu also wanted to invite the other party to appear in the movie.
When the time comes, you can test your tone.
An actor of Harrison Ford's level is already qualified to choose scripts and collaborators.
Whether the new movie will be able to invite each other is still unknown.
However, in order to make his first steps in Hollywood go smoothly, he doesn't mind using "money ability".
After all, as the old saying goes, going from 0 to 1 is often more difficult than going from 1 to 10.
If you can't take the first step, what about the next step?
After dinner, Hanyu Hideki accompanied Tianxian Mother to walk in the yard and chat for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.
After Liu Xiaoli fell asleep.
Hideki Hanyu went to the study alone.
Taking advantage of the quiet of night and the clarity of his thinking, he began to create new picture book works.
With the passage of time, his original idea of publishing more than a dozen picture books a year has become a lie.
It's not that he doesn't have works available in his memory.
As he continues to work in depth, he is also inadvertently forming his own style of work.
Nowadays, many times, those works in memory can no longer be used directly.
It's not just picture books, it's also the magic snack shop.
In many cases, he is simply borrowing from it.
Most of the content needs to be original by himself.
In this case, it is understandable that production has plummeted.
Well......
That's it.
It definitely has nothing to do with the fact that he has money and his mentality is getting more and more pigeon.
As for why he suddenly became interested in creating again today.
It also has nothing to do with the Hans Christian Andersen Award accompaniment.
Illustration awards or something, he doesn't care......
All right...... He still cares a little.
The judges of the International Children's Book Alliance are not yet young and hope that he will let the old man go.
The more this is the case, the more he has to run with him.
Two or three times can be pressed down, he doesn't believe that the other party can still hold it down if he runs five or six or seven or eight times.
Hey?
In other words, will Xiao Lizi also have this mentality in the future......
That's when it happened.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door.
In the quiet of the night, the sound was very clear.
Hideki Hanyu followed the footsteps and saw his sister-in-law in a white gauze skirt.
"Why hasn't Joan slept yet?"
"Brother-in-law, didn't you sleep too?"
"Your sister is resting, and I just happen to have some inspiration."
While speaking, Zhou Wenqiong had already come to Hanyu Hideki's side, leaned in front of the easel and looked at the works she had just created, and asked curiously, "What is my brother-in-law creating?" ”
"The story of a new picture book about a little girl and a colorful skirt ......"
Hideki Hanyu briefly talks about the outline of his new picture book.
It is still a warm and childlike story, revolving around family affection.
However, this story is obviously very unsuitable for Zhou Wenqiong's appetite.
"I still like your previous love letter, don't you think I'm superficial?"
Zhou Wenqiong asked tentatively, looking at Hanyu Hideki cautiously.
Hideki Hanyu smiled gently, "It's normal for adults to like it, after all, the audience of picture books is still more inclined to children. ”
In the room at night, the soft light overhead shines on Hideki Hanyu's handsome face.
With the smile like a spring breeze, the sister-in-law's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She hurriedly stepped aside, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, "Brother-in-law, continue to be busy, I won't bother you." ”
"If it's okay, you can go to bed early." Hanyu Hideki casually persuaded.
"I don't want to sleep yet, let's read a book first."
After Zhou Wenqiong finished speaking, she took out a book from the bookshelf next to her and sat not far away and pretended to read it.
But as Hideki Hanyu continued to concentrate on creation, he no longer spoke.
Zhou Wenqiong unconsciously began to secretly look at her brother-in-law.
At first, I just poked my head out from behind the book from time to time and looked at it secretly.
But when she found out that Hideki Hanyu was concentrating on creation and didn't care about her at all, she gradually became bold and stared at Hideki Hanyu non-stop.
The eyes are gradually obsessed.
I don't know how long it took.
Hideki Hanyu, who was a little tired, stood up and stretched.
When he turned his head, he found that his sister-in-law was staring at him in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the other party, "Xiao Qiong, what do you want?" ”
"Ahh
Zhou Wenqiong was taken aback, and her panicked little hand swayed again and again, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
"I'm going to sleep, so hurry up and rest." Hideki Hanyu said as he sorted out the drawings.
But then he heard his sister-in-law say, "Brother-in-law can talk to me?" ”
Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu put the sketch away and replied, "Of course." ”
Then he sat down again and looked at his sister-in-law, "Say, is there anything I need to explain?" ”
"My cousin's due date is only twenty days away, and after I am here with her, I will definitely go back to China, I just ...... Just ......"
Zhou Wenqiong said in the end, but she didn't know what to say.
Hanyu Hideki thought that the other party wanted to remind him not to forget what he had promised, so he replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, my subordinates are still cooperating with the main station, and it will be no problem to help you arrange a job when the time comes."
But when Zhou Wenqiong heard this, she denied it, "I didn't mean that, that...... Didn't you promise me a role in a new movie? ”
"That's just a small supporting role, in today's Hollywood, Asian faces are rarely able to have opportunities, you might as well go back to China to develop."
"But...... Okay......" Zhou Wenqiong's head drooped, and she really didn't know what to say.
When Hanyu Hideki saw this, he also estimated some of the other party's thoughts.
If I remember correctly, in another time and space, the other party claimed to be the twelve golden hairpins of a certain film studio.
The development at the end of the eighties was not bad.
However, in just a few years, after the other party's career was just on the right track, he faded out of the showbiz around 90 and immigrated to America.
In this day and age, this is not unusual at all.
People in the domestic entertainment industry, with the convenience of the industry, are the first batch of people to see the outside world.
The bustle of the outside world.
Compare the situation of hard struggle in the country.
Coupled with the fact that they are in a flashy industry, most people are unable to resist the attraction of the "better world" and try their best to "devote themselves" to it.
During this period, there were too many performance teams that went abroad to perform and then disappeared en masse.
It is normal for the other party to choose to immigrate.
Now in this time and space, Hanyu Hideki brought the other party out in advance.
It's not just about seeing the "good world".
Instead, let the other party be directly in the most prosperous Beverly Hills in America.
Enjoy the ultimate luxury life of capitalist society.
In this case, let the other party return to their home country.
Imagine the feeling of disparity in life.
Hanyu Hideki himself couldn't stand it, let alone Zhou Wenqiong, who would have chosen to "escape".
But even if he guessed it, Hideki Hanyu didn't say much.
After all, he can't make decisions for the other party in this kind of life decision.
What's more, the other party still has parents and relatives, and it is not his turn to interfere.
Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Zhou Wenqiong, "Don't think about it, go to bed early, I'll go to rest too." ”
After saying goodbye to his sister-in-law, Hideki Hanyu returned to the bedroom.
Who wants to just lie down, and the voice of Tianxian Ma came from beside him, "Why are you sleeping now, it's not good to stay up late." ”
"I had some inspiration in my head, so I went and drew it."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he asked with concern, "Why did you wake up, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"It's not like you're being messed around with your little princess."
"I'll listen." Hideki Hanyu stretched out his head and gestured to listen.
Who wanted to be blocked by Tianxian Mother, "It's just over the fuss, don't wake her up again." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that Tianxian Mother couldn't sleep, Hanyu Hideki simply said what happened just now.
"Xiao Qiong went to talk to me just now."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Xiaoli's tone suddenly became concerned.
Hanyu Hideki was a little strange, but still replied, "It's a lot of nonsense, but I can see that she probably doesn't want to go back to China." ”
"So that's it."
Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, as if she already knew something.
"Looks like you know her mind."
Hanyu Hideki thought that Liu Xiaoli had known Zhou Wenqiong's thoughts for a long time
"She's six years younger than me, and I've watched her grow up since she was a child, and I can't see what she's thinking......"
Liu Xiaoli said this, her eyes looked at the outline of Hanyu Hideki in the dark, which meant inexplicable.
The black light was blind, and Hideki Hanyu didn't notice anything, just answered on his own.
"It's easy for me to help her stay......"
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiaoli, "You'd better not interfere in this matter, let her and her family decide." ”
"Okay."
——
Following.
Before Tensen's mother got up, Hanyu Hideki left again.
However, I didn't go to San Francisco, but went to find "Ball Flower" to learn about the progress of Hollywood.
On the screenwriter Kevin Wade's side, Fred talked about the script of "Working Girl" very well.
According to the standard contract of the screenwriters' union, a preliminary agreement was signed first.
The first instalment, $50,000, has already been paid.
However, this is just the beginning, according to the regulations of the screenwriters' union, the screenwriter's fee will fluctuate according to the cost of film production.
For films with a production cost of more than $5 million, the minimum cost for an original script is more than $100,000.
Of course, this is the total cost.
No matter how many people collaborate on the script, it's so much money.
But then, as long as the producer needs the screenwriter to make changes to the script, he must pay an additional fee.
However, some producers will buy out the script outright.
Other screenwriters will also be responsible for the revision.
Therefore, this part of the clause is a condition that the screenwriter's agent will try to fight for the employer.
This time, Kevin Wade sold the script on the condition that subsequent script revisions could only be done by him.
Of course, it is up to the producer to decide how and to what extent it will be modified.
However, after the script was completed, the next thing about the acquisition of Hillman Pictures was still in the deadlock stage.
It's not that the owner of Hillman Pictures doesn't sell.
But the price can't be negotiated, and the second ancestor who brought the company down, the lion opened his mouth to ask for three million dollars.
But according to Fred's estimate, this company is not worth so much.
After all, through understanding, the second ancestor of Hillman Pictures wanted to mortgage the company's poor film library and a bunch of shooting equipment to the bank.
As a result, the bank only offered a measly $200,000 loan.
Of course, mortgage banks are sure to undercut prices.
However, it is enough to judge from this that the real price of this company is not to mention three million dollars.
Half a million dollars is enough.
Although Hanyu Hideki was rich, it was impossible for him to pay such a premium to be wronged, so he continued to let Fred talk.
The kind of company on the other side, no one in Hollywood will buy.
And only people like him who came from overseas are interested.
Besides, there are many goals, if the other party does not let go after the E3 exhibition, it is a big deal to change the company to acquire.
After asking about Fred's progress, Hideki Hanyu assigned a new assignment to Monica Bellucci, and then prepared to leave.
As a result, in the hotel room, "Ball Flower" dragged him and didn't let go.
"BOSS, what are you doing in such a hurry, I want to play a game."
Hanyu Hideki wanted to ask, do you want to play a serious game?
In the end, though, he didn't ask.
Rather, the answer is shown in action.
Played with Monica Bellucci until noon.
Hideki Hanyu, who was very satisfied with the performance of "Ball Flower", asked the other party directly, "Is there anything you want lately?" ”
"I don't have anything I want, but I have something I want to ask the boss for help, and the boss promises me to be okay."
The "ball flower" wrapped in only a bath towel pounced on Hideki Hanyu, unfolding a glamorous and seductive flirtatious method.
Hanyu Hideki shouted foul in his heart, and while enjoying his body and mind, he still didn't let go.
"First of all, what are you looking for me to help you with?"
He's not the kind of person who is teased by a beautiful woman and will agree to anything with a hot brain.
"My father's transport fleet was very good in Umbria last year thanks to orders from BOSS, and he wants to ...... this year"
Hideki Hanyu listened to Monica Bellucci talk a lot, and he didn't get down to business for a long time.
Interrupted with some impatience, "Just say what you want to do?" ”
"There is a freight company in Lazio that is being sold due to poor management, the headquarters of the company is in Rome, the capital, and part of the operation of the port of Civitavecchia, with a network that covers the central and northwestern regions of Italy......"
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he tasted it.
He bowed his head and asked Ball Flower, who was talking and trying to foul him.
"So, you want to use my power to help your father buy this freight company?"
"Yes...... Be...... Target. Ball Flower replied vaguely.
Hideki Hanyu didn't immediately say anything.
Instead, he thought about it secretly.
I just explained to Eiri Kitahara before, and asked the other party to try to develop the business of Oki Logistics.
As a result, it didn't take long for the opportunity to come to the door.
As long as the price is right, operate it, and let Damu Logistics take a loan to acquire, it is not impossible to do it.
Thinking of this, he asked Monica Bellucci.
"How much does it cost?"
Thinking that the euro has not yet been born, and the currency used in Italy is still the lira, he did not forget to say, "Tell me the dollar directly." ”
Monica Bellucci paused, pondered for a moment, and then replied.
"My father said that about five million to six million dollars would be enough."
Hideki Hanyu pouted, "It's really not cheap." ”
Although taking out this money, it is nothing to him.
But it doesn't mean that in this era, this money is not a huge amount of money.
Seeing Hideki Hanyu's reaction, Monica Bellucci was a little nervous, for fear that Hideki Hanyu would refuse.
After all, when she went back to Italy before, she said a lot in front of her father and family because of this incident.
If Hanyu Hideki doesn't agree, then she's a big loser.
Even the father will be disgraced in the family.
But soon, Hideki Hanyu responded.
"I can promise this matter, I will immediately arrange for people to go to Italy to connect with your father, confirm the information, negotiate the acquisition, and set up a new logistics company, but ......"
Hearing Hideki Hanyu agree, Monica Bellucci's face was already showing joy.
But one but, it made her nervous again.
Hideki Hanyu reached out and picked it on the chin of the ball flower, picking up that beautiful face.
"I can hand over the newly established logistics company to your family, but your family's shares in the new company must nominally belong to you, except for you, I don't trust anyone else in your family."
When Monica Bellucci heard this, she was still nervous, and suddenly turned into a different kind of emotion.
Then the Italian players fouled harder.
Today, there are more than 10,000 changes, but I can't add more.
The Hans Christian Andersen Award is held every two years, and the writing is stubble, and the time has been changed in front of it, which does not affect the reading.
The anti-piracy function of electronic pets is purely fictional, if there are similarities, don't blame the big guy who knows it.
