Open the era of black technology

Chapter 800 Do you want to be the number one from the bottom all the time?

The two sides were chatting and laughing, and Xu Ping'an was wandering around with Isabella's company, and wherever he went, there was constant laughter.

During the period, Xu Pingan announced in front of everyone that he would donate 1000 million US dollars to the charity fund of the New York City Government, which won a lot of applause.

The contract is not something that can be negotiated in a day or two. While attending the reception organized by the local bosses, I don't ask these people for much help, just ask these people not to make trouble.

After working for more than ten days, Xu Pingan took Isabella to inspect the headquarters of Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group, which was the original Blizzard headquarters.

Today's Tianqi Electronic Entertainment Group headquarters is different from before. It has been expanded and doubled in size. Anyway, the land in the United States is cheap, so it is useless.

Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group was not short of money, so it expanded directly, and built several high-tech buildings, including a high-tech indoor studio, which was specially used for special effects capture and shooting.

Both Marvel and DC also went to the headquarters of Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group to shoot some special effects, because now everyone admits that the special effects shots produced by Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group are No. 1.

Mastin, Karlone and others greeted Xu Ping'an in the parking lot. After Xu Ping'an got off the car, he shook hands with them and exchanged a few greetings with a smile.

Isabella also shook hands with everyone generously, and Xu Pingan, who was surrounded by everyone, walked towards the headquarters.

Kashan, the deputy manager of the administration department, took Isabella to look around the company. Xu Pingan followed everyone to the conference room to listen to their reports.

Mastin made a report first, stood up and opened the PPT to start a detailed report, what is the status of the company's current projects, the progress of the new projects currently under development, etc., and made a detailed report.

Immediately afterwards, Callon began to report that Apocalypse Film and Television Company has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the World of Warcraft IP movie has achieved impressive box office for several years in a row.

Among them, in two years, it also achieved the first place in the global box office that year.

Twelve films have been filmed so far, and two more films will be released globally this year.

Last year's total profit reached [-] million U.S. dollars, and it is expected that this year's profit will not be lower than last year. After the business report, he looked at Xu Ping'an with a embarrassed expression.

Xu Ping'an knew something was up when he saw Callon's expression.

Xu Pingan said, "Apocalypse Group's style, if you have something to say directly."

When Callon heard this sentence, he organized his language and only said, "Boss, DC and Marvel have proposed a plan. The three of us will jointly invest in the sequel to the strongest race in the universe."

"To turn this story into a big series, according to the results of the current negotiations, the boss needs to appear in some scenes."

After Callon finished speaking, everyone including Xu Ping'an laughed.

Back then, after the birth of an advertisement film for the strongest race in the universe, it directly detonated the market, especially the final ending, which made movie fans all over the world go crazy.

Almost tens of millions of movie fans left messages to Tianqi Film and Television, asking for a sequel, but they did not accept this tantalizing ending.

As a result, because of Xu Ping'an's sake, there was no filming.

Both Marvel and DC were happy to participate in the filming, and all the expenses were negotiable. Callon only said one sentence, "My boss doesn't like these little money."

Let the bosses of Marvel and DC vomit blood in suspense, but you still have no way to refute, how much Apocalypse Group makes a year is dozens of times the combined profits of the two companies.

The reason why the movie "The Strongest Race in the Universe" was able to be filmed was because Xu Ping'an was bored and played around casually.

This year, the two companies conducted a detailed survey in the top ten ticket districts around the world, and found that people have the highest sense of expectation for the strongest race in the universe, overwhelming all superhero movies.

In this way, the top executives of the two companies came to discuss this matter with Callon again.

"Has the script been written? How was the investment negotiated?" Xu Pingan asked with a smile.

Apocalypse Group has been on the right track in all aspects, Xu Ping'an's life is very relaxed, playing with things that don't matter, it is considered relaxed.

After hearing this sentence, Karlone was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart.

"Boss, everything is easy to talk about. Their original words are, as long as the boss is willing to join in and have fun, everything can be discussed."

"I discussed a general framework with them. In terms of investment, we, Apocalypse Film and Television, occupy four floors, and the two of them each occupy three floors. The script, director and actors are arranged by us."

"The superheroes under the two companies are randomly selected, and the producers are jointly produced by the three companies," Callon said with a happy face.

DC and Marvel had no choice but to give such good conditions. Back then, Tianqi Group made a lot of money instead of losing money when they shot commercials.

It directly attracted many international giants to play together. As a result, they all lost money in the end, making international giants including Marvel and DC vomit blood.

Only directors and actors make a lot of money.

There are only two actors with both fame and fortune, Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise, neither of whom participated in other giants' commercial films.

On the contrary, fans praised the two for their acting ethics and not shooting bad movies. This is something no one thought of, and it makes a superhero actor very tasty.

The two of them are also playing games, but the filming of the strongest race in the universe brought them great benefits. As long as the two of them appeared in farm cowboy outfits, it would be a sensation.

"Well, I have plenty of time this year, so let's have fun"

"Old rules, get in touch with people from other companies in the Tianqi Group and add those sci-fi products into it. We still have to shoot commercials."

"This point must be explained in key points, don't play tricks," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"President, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy the president." Carlone couldn't be more satisfied today.

"Don't be too happy, I have a few conditions"

"First, I don't need many scenes, and second, I have to be a boss"

"Third, it must be a big scene, and the special effects shots must be cool enough"

"Fourth, we must focus on the products of Tianqi Group"

"Fifth, the copyright must belong to us, and the proportion of the share can be given away. I don't care about this small amount of money."

"If these conditions are not met, don't blame me for not giving face, understand?" Xu Pingan stared at Karl Long and said directly.

After listening to what Xu Pingan said, the others looked at Karlone with pitiful eyes. These conditions of Xu Pingan's didn't sound very important, but if you analyze it carefully, it's not easy.

Apart from other things, the copyright belongs to Tianqi Group, so this is not easy to solve.

Also, it has to be a big scene. How big a scene is considered a big scene is not easy to determine. It depends on Karlone's ability.

"I will definitely satisfy the president." Callon's back was sweating when he said this, and he also analyzed the difficulty in Xu Ping'an's words.

"Carlon, don't worry about gains and losses"

"What is the biggest strength of our Tianqi Group, it is money, and the world's leading black technology products"

"When necessary, tell them that we have invested, and they can enjoy the share of the film, and the other copyrights must belong to us," Xu Pingan said directly.

"Understood, I understand" Carron said dumbfounded.

You can still use benefits to lure the presidents of other companies, but you can't use benefits to lure Xu Pingan, the president of Tianqi Group.

Because the profits of each branch of the Apocalypse Group are too terrifying, the profitability of the entire Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group is the bottom of the Apocalypse Group.

In the vernacular, if the profit is not high, your right to speak is not high.

Carlone and Mastin both attended the annual meeting of Tianqi Group, and they have been attacked since the first time they attended the annual meeting. So many company presidents with terrible profits were trained by Xu Pingan to remain silent.

The two of them behaved with their tails between their legs, and the seeds of reverence for Xu Ping'an had already been planted in their hearts.

Xu Pingan gave the two of them fear, and the two of them passed on this fear to every executive in the company.

Mastin yells at every meeting that our Electronic Entertainment Group is at the bottom of the Apocalypse Group in terms of profitability. We must work harder if we want to wash away this shame.

The fragmentation of the pride and complacency generated within Blizzard gave everyone a sense of urgency.

According to the perception of Westerners, if a certain branch of a group company has the lowest profit, it is not far from layoffs. If your work does not satisfy the boss, you will be laid off.

Xu Pingan waved his hand and told Karl Long to continue. Managers of other departments began to stand up and report, and each of them truthfully reported the situation of their own departments.

After listening to all the reports, Xu Pingan thought for a while, stared at Mastin calmly and said "Mastin".

"In" Mastin immediately stood up.

"What I learned today is a bit different from what you reported to me"

"I understand your thoughts, you need to give them a relaxed environment, and you don't want to put so much pressure on them"

"But now I want to put more pressure on you again. For many years, Apocalypse Electronic Entertainment Group has been at the bottom of Apocalypse Group's internal profit ranking."

"Do you want to be the number one from the bottom all the time?"

"You have been telling me that we need a relaxed creative environment, a relaxed thinking environment, and humanized management"

"I promise you, they don't give you face"

"Looking at your changes in the future, in order to make you feel better, I will fine you 20 US dollars. If you haven't changed, write your own resignation letter." Xu Ping'an stared at Mastin meaningfully after speaking.

Mastin was very shrewd and immediately understood what Xu Ping'an meant.

"President, I accept the punishment, they have tried their best"

"I will lead them to a breakthrough. If this goal cannot be achieved, I will submit my resignation," Mastin said seriously.

Everyone else felt the pressure in their hearts. The president is the president. If there is a disagreement, they will be fined 20 yuan. The next step is to dismiss them. They must improve their work efficiency again.
