Chapter 561: Turning Passive Into Active
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Tony's pupils shrank slightly and said, "Mr. Xiao, I think it is very irrational for you to do this."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "This is my worst plan. In fact, I have a better way to deal with this crisis. As long as I move the whole magic to Huaxia, all the problems will be solved. The development of Huaxia's film and television industry will be solved. The speed is amazing. Thousands of movies and TV series are enough for us to make magic money every year. What do you think?"
Tony took a sip of coffee, eased his emotions, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if I want to buy Magic, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Magic is my foundation, and I have no plans to sell it at all. Actually, there is one thing I still don't understand, why did you buy MGM's magic shares? "
Tony was startled and said, "Of course it's for the magic technicians."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Tony, there is an old saying in China that people who are wise don't speak secretly. If you need special effects technicians, you don't need to spend such a big price. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally feel that you can make such a big deal. I'm afraid it's my special effect patent. It's fake that you buy Magic, and the idea of hitting my special effect patent is true. Mr. Tony, Magic has not done it for ten years to develop new special effects technology. Your so-called new The technology is not based on magical special effects. If so, then we should have a good discussion."
Tony was shocked when he heard it.
Columbia's new special effect technology just changed one direction of magic special effects, making it more realistic and faster to work. To be precise, it should be an improved or enhanced version of magic special effects.
This matter is a top secret of Columbia Pictures, I didn't expect Xiao Yunhai to know it.
Could it be that there are traitors in your company?
Although Tony had already realized that things were out of his control, his expression remained unchanged, and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are really joking."
What kind of eyes does Xiao Yunhai have?
After he finished speaking, he kept staring at Tony's face. Even though the other party was covering it up well, Xiao Yunhai noticed the sudden shock.
"Not the best. Mr. Tony, since things can't come together, that's fine. Thank you very much for your coffee, and farewell."
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai really got up to leave, Tony quickly said, "Slow. Mr. Xiao, how did you know?"
At this time, if he can't see Xiao Yunhai's fearlessness, then Tony is not qualified to be the executive president of Columbia Pictures.
Xiao Yunhai smiled, his analysis was indeed correct.
Although the expression on Daniel's face did not change, he had already laughed in his heart, and the magical crisis was lifted.
They are still number one in the world.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Tony, if I said I guessed it, would you believe it?"
Tony sighed and said, "I have to say, you are the most difficult opponent I have ever met. Mr. Xiao, make a condition."
Xiao Yunhai said unceremoniously: "One, your new special effect technology must be provided to us for free for magical use, and half of the patent fee we have obtained. After all, the foundation of your special effect technology is our magic."
Tony's face changed wildly, and said, "No. We have to account for at least 80% of the patent fee."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Tony, you have to understand that you have already lost."
Tony said: "The reason why I bought the shares of MGM is for today. Don't forget, there is one that is..."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Mr. Tony, you miscalculated one thing. That is, the magic technology patent belongs to me, not the magic special effects company. Unfortunately, with MGM's I didn't sign the signature. You should understand what that means?"
Tony's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, and he shouted, "Is MGM's legal department a group of people? Such a big loophole was not seen."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "They are about to change the legal department. I have a fantasy film and television special effects company in Huaxia. If it doesn't work, I will let Magic file for bankruptcy and set up a new fantasy special effect company. I think, by then, you will not have any. Billions of dollars, you can't get a patent license from me personally."
People are swordsmen, I am fish, this is how Tony feels at the moment.
Although this young man was only in his twenties and younger than his own son, he was too cunning, and he was completely defeated in the confrontation with him.
Tony said helplessly: "Mr. Xiao, you won, and you won beautifully. I spent a billion dollars to buy 21% of the magic shares of MGM. I thought it was a big advantage, but I didn't expect that It's a big hole. Hehe, well, I agree."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Second, I want you to give me all the shares in the Magic Special Effects Company that you acquired for free."
Tony hurriedly shook his head and said, "Impossible. You asked me to give you a billion dollars worth of shares for nothing. This is absolutely impossible."
Xiao Yunhai said: "As long as I file for bankruptcy, it is worthless. Mr. Tony, you can also get a promise from me. That is, I am willing to share all the technical patents of Magic with you, and you can have no restrictions. use my patent. In this way, I can't give you any restrictions. Of course, you can rest assured that if I want to sell the patent in the future, I will definitely sell it to you first. Oh, Mr. Tony, a billion dollars to buy this A promise, I think it should be a very cost-effective business."
Tony's face turned blue and then white, looked at Xiao Yunhai, and said, "You are too scary. Unfortunately, I have no choice, otherwise, no matter what, I will not cooperate with you. Well, I promise you. "
Xiao Yunhai stretched out his third finger and said, "The third..."
"What, and a third?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "The third is very simple for you. I know that you are the major shareholder of Columbia Cinema. If I invest in or shoot a good film in the future, I need to show it in your theater. You have to help me unconditionally. Of course. , the amount of film does not need to be too large, but it cannot be lower than 5%. Others can be implemented according to the market standards you stipulate. "
Tony said: "No. If you bring dozens of movies a month, can't we all show them? Well, at most three a year, and you are responsible for the publicity expenses."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said: "Three is too few, I want five. Huaxia films have always been unaccustomed to the conditions in the United States, and the profits from three films may not be enough for my promotion expenses. Five is my bottom line. You promise. Now, we can sign the contract."
Tony thought about it and sighed: "Okay. Today is the worst loss since I negotiated. It can be said that I have no power to fight back. Lorraine, according to what we have negotiated, find a lawyer to make a plan. a contract.”
The young man beside him nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Tony."
Xiao Yunhai looked at Daniel and said, "You also call the lawyers and ask them to come over. After all, this is a big contract."
Daniel suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "I'll let them come here."
Although Tony failed miserably in the negotiation, he was a person who could afford it and let it go.
When talking to Xiao Yunhai next, there was no hostility, as if what just happened did not happen.
Xiao Yunhai admired his open-mindedness in his heart, this guy is definitely a hero.
However, he knew that although Tony didn't have anything on the surface, in fact, he was afraid that his lungs would explode, but he was so deep that he didn't show it on his face. Such people are the most terrifying.
Of course, Xiao Yunhai was not a vegetarian either, so Xu and Weishe chatted with him.
The two talked for a full hour, laughing constantly during the period, and the atmosphere was very good.
As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.
