Huadu Super God
Chapter 31 That day, I became a blockbuster
I don't know who took action, and all the temporary viewing studios of Wang Junmo Yandu and Haidu were banned, which made Wang Junmo's team very angry.Especially Bai Zao, who even wanted to contact his father and ask him to tell the palace to lift the restriction.
However, as soon as she had this idea, she was stopped by Bai Yexing in time.
Just kidding, the few of them can make small noises, but if the elders are involved, there will be a major economic earthquake that will shake the country of Xia!This is no joke.This old girl is too careless about the consequences.
The title of the fourth young master of Yandu should be given to her.Compared with her, he is a good citizen.
However, it is also strange.Who on earth made the move and used such a big hand!It doesn't even care about the raging public opinion on the Internet.
"What can we do!" Cheng Jiahao was most anxious.
He is the person with the weakest family background in the team, and he has always been at the bottom of society. He has never seen such a battle.
I thought that if my team wanted to win the final victory, I would finally be able to stand out.Unexpectedly, if he was cut off halfway, he would soon fall short!This makes him who puts all his heart and soul into it will not be able to bear it for a while!
"Hey, I didn't expect Zhao Suyu and the others to be so despicable! They can't compete with a direct business war, and they use such despicable methods!"
Li Yue was also very angry. She also felt that the victory was within her grasp, and that she might be able to return home happily.But the sudden situation now caught her by surprise.
"Play tricks? It's driving me into a hurry. Be careful to hack into the sports betting system and change their bets. When the time comes, let them get away with nothing!"
Lightning's ideas have always been very direct and consistent.He belongs to the kind of person who can do it and don't compare.
"Don't... If you do this, it's equivalent to breaking the law..."
Although Chen Luoyi is young, he is very sensitive to the law.After all, her father was shot because he violated the laws of the country.
For a while, the backbone of Wang Junmo's team was in trouble.
……
Li's house, Li Mingxing's room.
"Oh, I was scared to death! I thought Zhao Suyu and the others were going to lose this time!"
Li Mingxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
"Dad, you are really making a fuss. Mr. Zhao and his backstage are so strong, how could they lose! He invited me to dinner two days ago!" Li Mingxing's daughter Li Xin was playing the Nuannuan game on the Pad, feeling Full of confidence in Zhao Suyu.
Obviously, Zhao Suyu's rhetoric fascinated her deeply.
"Haha, Dad is getting old. This time it's a heavy bet! If you win, maybe Dad can take over the Li family, and by the way, let the Li family's career go to a higher level! If you lose, Dad will be completely unable to hold his head up in the Li family." Here we come! When you reach fifty, you have a lot of scruples! Unlike you, you are young and vigorous, and you don’t think much about it."
Li Mingxing patiently taught his daughter.After all, he has worked hard, and his ultimate goal is to hope that the children of the next generation can have a good environment to develop better.
"Cut!" Li Xin couldn't listen, feeling nagging.
……
Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on Wang Junmo's door.
"Who?"
At this time, Lightning and the others were sitting in the living room chatting and discussing, while Wang Junmo was reading a book in the study.
So it was the fiery Lightning who ran to open the door.
"Hi, I'm Zhang Yun, the person in charge of Wanda Cinemas. I'm here to discuss business with Mr. Wang Junmo."
Zhang Yun spoke very politely, after all, this is a big list.As long as Wang Junmo has the technology, if Wanda Cinema can win the exclusive agency right of VR film shooting and broadcasting technology, then the future income will be unimaginable!
"Nani? Wanda Cinema? What the hell!"
Hearing Lightning yelling about the Wanda Cinema in the living room, Wang Junmo knew that the fish had finally taken the bait!
From the very beginning, I never planned to make money by showing VR movies. The broadcasting of VR movies is just a gimmick, allowing many investors to see the prospect of VR movies, so that they will come up to cooperate with themselves, exclusive or non-exclusive representation of this technology.
Technology is the real productivity!And that's where the real money is!
"Let them in!"
Wang Junmo's voice came from the study.After Lightning heard it, he quickly opened the door and welcomed Zhang Yun in.
At this time, Wang Junmo also came out of the study.
Be calm and calm, not surprised!
"Hi Mr. Wang, I'm Zhang Yun from Wanda."
"Hello, Manager Zhang, please come to the study to talk."
"it is good!"
After the introduction in a few words, Zhang Yun was invited by Wang Junmo to have a secret talk in the study.
Lightning and the others looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Mr. Wang should be able to guess why I came this time, right?"
Zhang Yun sat on the chair and asked sincerely.
"I know a little."
Wang Junmo's answer was very concise.
"Mr. Wang is really a young talent with outstanding temperament!" Zhang Yun suddenly began to praise Wang Junmo.
Half of this sentence is a compliment, and the other half is indeed a real appreciation.
Because Wang Junmo is only 19 years old this year, but at this time he behaves like a calm middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s who has experienced countless major events, with a calm expression and serene movements.It doesn't look like the big dude in the outside legend.
"Hehe, congratulations. Tell me about your price?"
Wang Junmo didn't care whether he was sincere or not. In the business world, no matter how much the two parties hit it off, it still depends on the interests to decide whether to continue to cooperate.
"Mr. Wang, after discussions with our company's senior management, we have decided to offer [-] million in cash to exclusively represent your VR film technology. In addition, the agency's share will be shared [-]-[-] with both beneficiaries. What do you think?"
To be honest, such a price is indeed very sincere for Wanda Cinemas.
However, Wang Junmo is not the kind of young man who is excited when he hears [-] million.In his previous life, he started from scratch and made hundreds of billions.[-] million, not even a fraction of his.He would not agree to such a price.
"This price is low."
Wang Junmo didn't explain much, but simply replied that the price was not enough.
"Mr. Wang, the prospect of this technology is not very obvious. It is a gamble for the company to pay such a price. I hope you can seriously consider it! Moreover, as far as we know, you seem to be in short supply right now. Big money..."
After mentioning Wang Junmo's lack of money, Zhang Yun stopped and looked into Wang Junmo's eyes.He wanted to discover Wang Junmo's panic and desire from it.
Unfortunately, the result backfired.
Wang Junmo's eyes were extremely deep, and when he looked over, it was like being swallowed by a black hole, and he couldn't escape.
After seeing Wang Junmo's gaze, Zhang Yun knew that his threat this time had failed.
"I'm very short of money, very short of money. You're right. However, I don't accept threats of any kind. So, see off."
This technology is 30 years ahead of the current era, and it can almost affect the film industry of an entire era.It is obviously not enough for Wanda to offer such a price, and it dares to threaten itself with the current bet.Hehe, do you really think of me as a kid?
"Mr. Wang, don't get me wrong! It was really unintentional just now!"
"see a visitor out!"
Wang Junmo shouted, and Lightning quickly walked in, asking Zhang Yun to leave.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
After Li Yue opened the door, she found that it was Huang Xi, the CEO of Ahri Films.
Li Yue herself is a person in the film and television industry, no matter her major or her family.So she immediately recognized Ahri's great god, and quickly invited him into the study.
In this way, the two heads of Wanda Films and Ahri Films met.
The moment the eyes of the two intersected, countless sparks seemed to be sparked.
"Mr. Wang, hello. I'm Huang Xi, the CEO of Ahri Films."
Huang Xi lowered his body slightly, and introduced himself in a slow voice.
"Hello, please take a seat."
Seeing the visitors from Ahri Films, Wang Junmo temporarily stopped to let the person in charge of Wanda Films go.It just so happened that the two bid for each other, and neither of them could easily eat themselves.
"Mr. Wang, let's stop talking nonsense. We are willing to be the sole agent of your VR film technology, and the exclusive agency fee is [-] million. In addition, the sales share of the VR film technology will be [-]% with you. You Six, four of us! What do you think!"
After Huang Xi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yun contemptuously.It was as if he had understood him thoroughly.
This made Zhang Yun very angry.So he bid again.
"Wanda is willing to pay an exclusive agency fee of [-] million yuan, and it will also be divided into six or four. Please believe in the strength of our company, Mr. Wang!"
"Hehe, Wanda is amazing? Your company's strategy has shrunk a lot this year, right?"
"Ari's chief boss seems to be involved with a certain actor."
The two began to fight with each other, fighting openly and secretly.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
The two became quiet for an instant. They had a premonition that the visitor might be a domestic movie giant.
Sure enough, after the person came in, Li Yue recognized him again. This is Song Jiaheng, the person in charge of Tencent Pictures.
After Song Jiaheng came in, he was taken aback when he saw that all his colleagues were there.Then he smiled and nodded to Wang Junmo.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Song Jiaheng, the person in charge of Tencent Pictures, and I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of Tencent Group. I believe you understand that we are all here to discuss business with you. We are not monks anymore. In short, on the basis of his two monks, we are willing to add another [-] million to show our sincerity."
As soon as he said this, his domineering side leaked.As soon as Zhang Yun and Huang Xi met their eyes, they turned enemies into friends, and the two planned to unite temporarily to fight against Song Jiaheng.
"Hehe, you don't need to argue for now. How about this, let me talk about my conditions. If you agree, you can continue. Otherwise, please leave."
As soon as Wang Junmo opened his mouth, the three of them fell silent instantly, listening to Wang Junmo's own bid.
"One-buy price, [-] million, and it's only a domestic agent! Besides, the sales profit is [-]-[-]%. Seven for me, three for you."
After saying this, the three people in charge felt incredible.
The price is too high!
They still don't know whether this VR technology is mature and reliable, and it is a risky investment now.Unexpectedly, Wang Junmo dared to ask such a high price!
"Mr. Wang, the price is a bit high! [-] million agency rights."
"That's right, Mr. Wang, [-] million can only get domestic agency rights!"
"That's right, Mr. Wang, and the ratio of [-] to [-] is too disparate."
The three of them were fighting openly and secretly just now, but now they were extremely united, and their guns were all aimed at Wang Junmo.
"That's the price. It may be higher, but it won't be lower. I'll give you 5 minutes to think about it. After 5 minutes, if you don't agree, VR movie technology will reject you three forever."
Wang Junmo's face was very calm at this time, but what he said was arrogant.
With such a big price increase, only 5 minutes of consideration time are given!
If it were normal, these three managers would have turned around and left long ago!They have never seen such a business negotiation without face!
However, only Wang Junmo has VR movie technology in the world!If he just gave up, wouldn't his film industry fall behind in an all-round way if he developed later?
"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment. I need to ask the chairman of our board of directors."
Huang Xi spoke first, asking Wang Junmo to wait.
The other two couldn't decide such a major event by themselves, so they decided to ask higher leaders for instructions.
"Okay. Remember, it's only five minutes."
Wang Junmo nodded and asked them to discuss for 5 minutes.
And the few people at the door of the study were lying on the door of the study, wanting to hear how the negotiations inside were going!
5 minutes passed quickly.
The faces of the three were very solemn.
"Mr. Wang, are you sure you can't change the bid?" Zhang Yun made a final attempt with a sullen face.
"No."
Wang Junmo's answer was simple and straightforward.
"Very good!" Huang Xi, the person in charge of Ahri Films, applauded unexpectedly.
"As expected of a young talent! Our boss is very willing to cooperate with people like you. We agreed to the conditions you asked!"
As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Yun and Song Jiaheng were shocked.
Ali is really a big deal!Can accept such a price!
They themselves are not very optimistic that this price can recover enough profits.
After all, this is just a technique!Normally, this money can buy an ordinary company!
But in any case, the two of them lost the bid.Had to leave dejectedly.
On the seventh day of October, the last day of the bet, when everyone in the world was not optimistic about Wang Junmo.
Wang Junmo earned [-] million in one day!Plus a high share of [-] points!
After the news was spread by Zhang Yun and Song Jiaheng, Yan Du was shocked!Xia Guo was shocked!
Wang Junmo let go of the heavy burden that had been hanging in his heart.
On this day, the wind and cold hit the capital, and I became a blockbuster.
However, as soon as she had this idea, she was stopped by Bai Yexing in time.
Just kidding, the few of them can make small noises, but if the elders are involved, there will be a major economic earthquake that will shake the country of Xia!This is no joke.This old girl is too careless about the consequences.

……
Li's house, Li Mingxing's room.
"Oh, I was scared to death! I thought Zhao Suyu and the others were going to lose this time!"
Li Mingxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
"Dad, you are really making a fuss. Mr. Zhao and his backstage are so strong, how could they lose! He invited me to dinner two days ago!" Li Mingxing's daughter Li Xin was playing the Nuannuan game on the Pad, feeling Full of confidence in Zhao Suyu.

"Cut!" Li Xin couldn't listen, feeling nagging.
