Chapter 55 Forging the Myth of the Box Office
(PS: Please note that the two chapters updated on the 19th have been revised.)
Obtaining the approval document means that the preliminary civil work can be confirmed to start.

As the chief engineer of the military materials project, Wu Tao took out the contract and formalities documents he had prepared, and got up to go to the general manager's office.

Not long after, Wu Tao came to the general manager's office. Ju Yan was getting some documents and waiting for Su Tong to review and sign. Seeing him, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Mr. Wu, would you like tea or coffee?"

"A glass of water, thank you."

Ju Yan took the opportunity to go out, Su Tong quickly reviewed the documents in hand, closed the folder, raised his head, and said with a smile on his pretty face: "You have so many documents in your hand, could it be that there is news about the project approval document?" ?”

"That's right, the approval document has been issued. It's up to you to review and sign these contract documents. After signing, I can go through the process and start some civil work." Wu Tao reported truthfully: "By the way, Commissioner Hao also said that the superior may send The expert team came over and reminded us that we must do a good job in reception.”

Su Tong took the document and put it in front of him, with a thoughtful expression on his pretty face, he said: "Are you busy now? After all, your film project has been a great success, and with the capital, the intelligent robot project can start. If you Too busy, I can share some of the military materials project here with you, so as not to delay your entrepreneurship."

Sensing Su Tong's empathy, Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "I don't need it for the time being, the pre-work is not heavy. Besides, the income from this movie will be Christmas at the earliest. When the time comes to start the intelligent robot project, the pre-stage work will also be done." I won't be too busy, and I can take care of it. Besides, it's me who hurts you. "

Su Tong's beautiful eyes gave him a blank look and said: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth! People are worried that you are not willing to deal with the expert group above."

Wu Tao shook his head and said: "It's different this time. I will meet the expert group sent by the higher authorities no matter what. Through the dialogue between them and the upper management, we must strive for what should be fought for, and insist on what should be insisted on. Just treat it as For the smooth development of the intelligent robot project later, we must first accumulate some experience."

Su Tong showed a worried look and said, "But your temper must not be too rigid..."

"Don't worry, I'm still counting on this project to build a ladder with the upper echelon and establish a communication channel. So I will never screw up this project. Besides, the military materials we launched this time fill the gap between the military and national defense. The upper echelon will definitely not be able to reject the gaps that have been introduced secretly for a long time in the middle of construction.”

Su Tong walked around the desk, straightened Wu Tao's neckline and said, "I'm relieved if you think so."

In mid-December, Commissioner Hao in the capital sent news.An expert group jointly composed of the National Defense Science and Technology Bureau, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Aerospace ×× Institute and the Shipbuilding Heavy Industry ×× Institute will conduct a week-long investigation and investigation of Ning'an Iron and Steel in the last week of this month.

The arrival of the expert group has a clear timetable.Wu Tao immediately assigned the preparation of relevant documents and materials. Now that the project plan has been finalized, the investment determination shown by Ning'an Iron and Steel executives is unprecedentedly bold.These action plans involving real money are the most direct information to win the trust of the expert group.

Of course, in addition to this, how to demonstrate to the expert group that the final product of this project can indeed meet various stringent indicators and high-performance requirements for military use is a crucial issue.

For this reason, Wu Tao specially packaged the technologies involved in the military materials project perfectly.The details that cannot be concealed, such as various information on the construction of the production line, he showed people openly; as for the control details and technical parameters in the smelting production process, sorry, this part only has theory, no details.

After distributing all the preparations for the materials, Wu Tao felt relaxed.Picking up the phone and watching the latest box office briefing sent by An Qi, his mood suddenly blossomed.

The release of Ghost Messenger has gone through the second and third weeks, and the attendance rate of theaters around the world has not decreased at all.The global box office has easily broken through the $20 billion mark, and it is gaining momentum to hit the new target of $30 billion.

Next week is Christmas, and it will be the last week that Ghostbusters will be in public release.When the time comes, he, the boss of the media company, will naturally come to the company in person to celebrate this great success together.

Discussions about the ghost messenger on the Internet have become increasingly heated, and many netizens flaunt themselves as Star Wars fans.

The posters of the interstellar mothership and various warships shown in the film have also become the targets of frantic collection by the majority of movie fans. Everyone said that they have never seen such realistic and explosive shapes.

Some people even fantasize that if they can have an omnipotent intelligent robot like in the movie, their life will be perfect.Once such a post was posted, countless people echoed it within a few minutes. It seems that there are not a few movie fans who yearn for intelligent robots.

Someone replied soon, analyzing from a professional point of view how powerful the intelligent robot is, how many years the key components involved and artificial intelligence are ahead of humans today.

As a result, many people made calculations and found out that they would never see each other in their lifetime, and felt saddened.

Seeing this, Wu Tao smiled.If he broke the news at this time, intelligent robots will be available in the near future, will these people blow up their nests immediately?
Think about it, I really look forward to it!

On Christmas Eve, Ning'an had the first snow in winter.A convoy mainly consisting of BMW and Cayenne set off from Ning'an to Yannan.

In the back seat, Su Tong took off his usual business attire and put on a casual sweater and jeans, snuggling up to Wu Tao like a gentle wife.

"Unexpectedly, the global box office of Ghost Messenger has exceeded the 30 billion US dollar mark. This is a new box office record! After all, Angel Media, as the producer and distributor, should be able to share half of the income ?”

Wu Tao nodded and said: "Almost. Of the 30 billion US dollars, the domestic part contributed 24 million. According to the domestic box office revenue distribution rules, we can get 15 million; the overseas part contributed nearly [-] billion. According to the North American and We can get slightly more than half of the allocation ratio in Europe, which is about [-] billion. Together, we barely reach the threshold of [-] billion U.S. dollars."

Su Tong said enviously: "My God, 15 billion US dollars, more than 90 billion yuan, is equivalent to the net profit of Ning'an Special Steel for two years! This is simply too profitable. But fortunately you had the foresight to establish North America and Europe Issuing branches has avoided a lot of unnecessary losses.”

Wu Tao said with emotion: "I have to have foresight, otherwise, it is not bad to get a quarter of the overseas box office. After all, if I earn more, I will have more say in the layout of the follow-up robot industry." !"
