Coquettish Rebirth

"Hehe, let's not talk about this matter first, by the way, do you know that road construction in China often adopts corporatization. It is no longer invested by local governments in China, but a public road operation company and a bank. Loan and then build the road. After the construction is completed, the road operation company will obtain the right to operate, for example, 20 years. The toll is released through the right to operate, and then the loan is exchanged for the toll. After making a profit, the road will be returned after 20 years To the government, the government is equivalent to owning a road for free, and then it can be opened to the public for free..." Jia Hongjian gave a completely irrelevant example.His example is actually hinting at Robinski, saying that if they helped Warner film "Batman", it would be Warner's benefit!Anyway, now Warner has frozen such a series.And after Jia Hongjian and the others finished filming the reboot of the series, Warner could get Batman again, the old hen that lays golden eggs...or the old mother bat, anyway, it will be beneficial for a lifetime!Isn't this the same as building a road?Finally left a way for others?So why should it be divided from the operating company?This is so unreasonable!

"Nonono! Mr. Jia, you are joking! Haha..." Who knew that Robinski said this, "On our side of the United States, for example, use the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. This Golden Gate Bridge already exists and has been collected Bridge tolls are used to operate the bridge. Now if a company comes out and says that it wants to contract the Golden Gate Bridge to ensure that the passenger flow will be higher, then should the relevant departments charge the contractor a certain fee every year? You see. The contracting company wants to Leasing such a Golden Gate Bridge to make a profit, so that more people can pass through the Golden Gate Bridge... If it is assumed that such a Golden Gate Bridge does not need maintenance fees and labor costs, then why does the government have to lease the Golden Gate Bridge to that company? If not If there are enough benefits, you won’t lose anything if you don’t rent it out, right?”

Now obviously this is a bargain!But the content of this bargaining is not how to divide the various types of investment into various types, but the bargaining in the big aspects!Maybe the two people are discussing so hotly now, but in the eyes of others, they may be two lunatics-actually discussing the contracting of the Golden Gate Bridge in a nervous manner?

"But now this hypothetical Golden Gate Bridge has not been used by many people. There are already many bridges beside it. This bridge is too old and the lanes are too narrow. The common people are not willing to use this bridge. What if this company is going to contract it?" They promised to invest in the renovation of the bridge and widen the road, and they even promised that there will be strong promotion activities to allow more people to walk on the bridge. So for the official. Is it better to let the company try it for free? What? After all, you can’t make money if you keep it now. Can it be worse than it is now? If it’s better, it will bring a lot of profit!”

"Haha, Mr. Jia's assumption is very good and reasonable. But I think a small detail may be overlooked. That is, there may be more than one company that wants to contract the bridge? For the official, since every company is like this Guaranteed, so why not choose a company that is willing to pay rent, even the highest rent?" Robinski said with a smile.With his big bald head, this smile looks so hateful, it looks like a fox!A bald fox!

To be honest, at this time Jia Hongjian really wanted to say, "Who said this company must contract the Golden Gate Bridge? Contracting other bridges is not the same as contracting?" But suddenly he really thought of something, that is Really, he can only contract the "Golden Gate Bridge"!That's right! DC's rival, Marvel, is still an independent company and has not yet belonged to other film companies! In 08, Disney bought Marvel for US$50 billion, so why can’t Jia Hongjian cooperate with Marvel now?It's not even impossible that he bought Marvel!

Even if they didn't buy Marvel, because Marvel doesn't have an owner like Warner, so the film and television adaptation rights are sold randomly - for example, the "X-Men" series seems to be sold to Fox!Then the Spider-Man series was sold to another family, which is why there has been no X-Men and Spider-Man in "Avengers"!In Jia Hongjian's impression, the typical dark hero in Marvel and the famous anti-hero "The Punisher" is the guy who kills criminals regardless of whether they are black or white.Such a guy seems like the first live-action film in history was released in 2004?At that time, it seemed that John Travolta also played a supporting role?Later, the box office was not good and the copyright was withdrawn. In 08, it was filmed again?Anyway, it's not like Jia Hongjian can't contract the Punisher's film and television copyright!Who said he had to find Batman?

That's right, it's true that the idea of ​​the script is designed according to Batman, but it's not impossible to change it if you really want to.Let's even keep the script, and wait until three or five years from now when Warner gets jealous at Marvel and takes the initiative to shoot it, let's talk about it again!In the absence of Nolan, Jia Hongjian felt that he could bet that Warner Bros.'s own "Batman" would not be too good-looking!It's not impossible to go back and make "Batman" like this, right?Maybe the asking price can be even higher!

So at this time, Jia Hongjian really has the confidence!I saw him smile slightly, and said word by word with a particularly pretentious expression: "Who said that the Golden Gate Bridge must be contracted? Who said that San Francisco must be found? Don't forget, New York on the east coast also has The bridge, and there is less money there, and it is easier to contract. Although the Golden Gate Bridge is good, although it is the first choice, it is not the only choice...you know, Mr. Robinov..."

Jia Hongjian paused here, and smiled evilly, "In such a hypothetical company that is very similar to our DreamWorks, there is also an executive director who hates Disney very much. He could have gotten the position of Disney's CEO. , but was kicked out in the end. He regarded this as the greatest shame he had ever suffered in his life, so he came out and established such a company with two good friends, just to make the company bigger and become a competitor of Disney , to prove to the people at Disney that they picked the wrong guy! So I figured it wouldn't be a wild dream for a company like this to buy the NYC Department of Bridges and Roads that owns the Brooklyn Bridge. There was a guy with a lot of money who liked the idea of ​​making the company bigger.

If a company comparable to Disney can be established, I believe this rich man will be happy to invest, even if it is 50 billion U.S. dollars... After the acquisition of the department in New York, I believe that even a few bridges in New York have been closed. The contract has been contracted out, but the rich man will also be willing to pay to tear up the contract and take back the power... Then maybe, this company will be a strong competitor of the San Francisco department in the future, especially the parent company in San Francisco before the stock market crash Acquired a money-losing product, watched the subsidiary clearly have a chance to make money, but created a competitor because of greed..."

That's right!Jia Hongjian, this is a threat!If you don't give us preferential terms, we will spend money and become your competitors in the future!If you want to ask for more money from us, there is no way. If the price is raised, Jia Hongjian will directly spend more money to become a competitor!What is he afraid of?Warner owns DC?Sherlock Holmes & Co. could own Marvel!Warner owns Warner Bros. Pictures?Sherlock Holmes can have a DreamWorks too!What are you afraid of?The products that everyone will launch at that time will compete for a market, let's see who can grab who!Who is afraid of this thing?

When Robinov heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his face changed a little—the relaxed and pretentious expression before disappeared without a trace!That's right, he never thought that Jia Hongjian would have such a way!He originally thought that since Jia Hongjian and the others wanted to make Batman, then he, Robinov, was the master. Anyway, if he wanted to buy the copyright of Batman, he could only talk to Warner, and it was useless to talk to anyone else!Isn't he the uncle?Anyway, they don't lose money if they don't sell the copyright, so what are they afraid of?

Seeing that Jia Hongjian wasn't afraid at all, and didn't even have the idea of ​​wanting Batman at all, although Robinov didn't panic, he didn't dare to be tough, but he didn't agree right away, but He stood there in a daze, thinking about something to judge.Seeing him like this, Jia Hongjian smiled, took out a business card holder, put a business card of his own in front of Robinov, took out a few dollar bills, and pressed them on the table with black tea. Below the tea cup and saucer, here is the meal money and tip money. "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Mr. Robinov, if you have any decision, you might as well call, 24 hours is fine."

After all, he smiled and turned around. He was very gentlemanly, and he turned around slowly like a polite upper-class figure, and walked away gracefully.He didn't drive here, it's not far from his and Ye Jing's new home, it's only 15 minutes' walk.When he returned home, Ye Jing greeted him and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has the deal been concluded?" , I really thought I was an uncle. I told them that I had to cut the price myself, or I would buy Marvel. Anyway, they are not the only ones who make comics in the United States. It’s amazing that I don’t want to be Batman, what are you afraid of! I’m in a hurry I went back and bought Marvel, and then asked Marvel to draw something similar to Batman, and then we will deliberately fight against them!" At this time, Jia Hongjian no longer had the gentlemanly demeanor before, but a look of Look like a bachelor!Anyway, we are not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, what are we afraid of?
