When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

It was already the third day since the group set out from Xiangjiang that the group of people appeared at the Edifier Publishing House again. Li Bu could not have wronged himself. After arriving in San Francisco, he rested for a day before setting off to Los Angeles. It was also the afternoon when he arrived in Los Angeles, and he rested for another day. , before going to Edifier Press.

Before coming, the two parties had already negotiated the contract. This time it was just a matter of signing the contract. The two parties were very friendly and successfully completed the signing. The first volume sold 30 copies at a cost of US$10 each, and his royalties were 40 %, this time he took out [-] US dollars and still had to pay taxes, but it would only be in April next year. The other party suggested that he could find a financial consultant.

In America, both birth and death are inseparable from paying taxes. This is an immigrant country that started by resisting taxes. Naturally, it hates not paying taxes. Foreigners who have transactions in this country also have to pay taxes. The personal tax is 24%, so you can A painful figure; of course Li Bu knew this and expressed his gratitude.

After leaving the publishing house, the outposts were already waiting for them at the hotel. After arranging their accommodation, Li Bu, Zhang Shan, and Hu Zhi'an, who was preparing in Los Angeles at this time, was the accountant recruited by Bald Liang and was proficient in English and Finance, Li Bu sent him to lead a team to acquire the company. When Li Bu came over, he handed the documents to him.

"Li Sheng, this is what we obtained through a consulting company. The information on some funds on Wall Street is only met by these three fund companies." Hu Zhi'an put another file bag on the table.

"Hu Sheng, how is the situation of that foreign trade company?" Li Bu continued to ask: "Is the operation okay?"

"Li Sheng, according to your request, the original boss left after selling the company, and his deputy also resigned. We promoted several deputy directors to management positions. The Canadian professional manager we sent was still Very obedient."

"That's good. I hope it doesn't get too complicated. Thank you for your hard work, Hu Sheng."

"Thank you Li Sheng for giving me this opportunity. We will continue to work hard."

Li Bu nodded, feeling that Hu Zhi'an had a very high emotional intelligence. Hu Zhi'an brought five people to Los Angeles, including him, a total of six people, two of whom were British, one was Canadian, and two were from Xiangjiang. One of them from Xiangjiang was Li Bu. Those who plug in will re-report some progress from time to time.

"How's the offshore company going?"

"These are the materials of the offshore company, and we opened the account in Switzerland."

Li Bu handed these documents to Zhang Shan and asked him to take a look. He is now working hard to learn the language.I still can’t understand it, it’s too difficult.

After these people left, Li Bu lay on the bed alone. This was different from his original intention. He wanted to lie down and not be so tired, but there were some things that he didn't want to give up, so he could only recruit a large number of people, and he didn't want to give up. Don't worry about these people. For example, this time Hu Zhi'an led a team to explore the road in North America and made preliminary preparations. He inserted one person to monitor the team. Later, he recruited several foreigners, and one of them conducted secondary surveillance. Sometimes he He also felt that he was a little nervous. He lay on the bed and sighed. It was all about money. It was still easy to collect rent. He was really envious of some big guys in Xiangjiang. They could earn tens of billions a year just by collecting rent. This was It's the representative of lying flat, not to mention that they are still working so hard.

A gc (goodcommodity good quality goods) advertising company controlled by an overseas offshore company was quietly established with a registered capital of US$500 million. It is recruiting hosts and external liaisons. Its business scope is film and television direct sales services, and there are two patents for television sales. Just a few months later, Li Bu directly signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the newly established company. If both parties had objections, they should raise them one month before the expiration of the contract, and the two parties would resolve the matter through negotiation.The contract stipulates that Li Bu charges an annual licensing fee of US$100 million, and the company will receive a six-point sales share of sales every year. The licensing fee increases with the rate of inflation or currency depreciation.

A lot of small companies like gc come and go here every year. Basically, most of them don't survive more than three years, and no one pays attention to it. No one can imagine that this company will be the future, with advertising revenue reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, and Gross profit from merchandise sales is also nearly US$80 billion, with annual sales exceeding US$[-] billion.

Tomorrow, negotiation teams from several TV stations will come over to bid for the North American license of "Millionaire" in America, which is signed once a year. For this negotiation, Hu Zhi'an's team has prepared a contract with dozens of pages. Tomorrow In the morning, the negotiation teams of several major TV networks will reconfirm the contract content. They have received the draft contract before, and after [-] p.m., secret bids will be made.

Li Bu wanted to make the money he deserved from this most mature media market, at least 2000 million U.S. dollars and 5% of the overall revenue share. Hu Zhi'an and his team raised the minimum price with major TV networks through some channels. If If you can't accept it, then don't come. If you can come, it means they have accepted it.

Don't think this is high. The ratings of "Millionaire" are the highest in the first year and will drop in the future. Therefore, Li Bu wants to make money in the first year. In America, a good program will directly generate profits. It will be in the hundreds of millions, and a million dollars will be a huge sum of money in future generations.

Next year there will be an evolved version of Millionaire, an extreme challenge. In short, he will be on all the variety shows in the future. He will rely on copyright and become a billionaire, all for the sake of winning.

Li Bu will not participate in this negotiation with the American TV network. He only needs to wait to receive the money. After the results are obtained, he will go to New York, the city of crime, to implement the next step of the plan.

……

On August 1977, 3, the weather was cloudy

Li Bu is writing a planning book. He is not worried that "Millionaire" will fail. This morning, Zhang Shantuo helped contact George Lucas, hoping to invest in his Star Wars. He had seen some behind-the-scenes footage of Star Wars before. , was originally scheduled to be released on Christmas Day 1976 last year, but there was still a shortage of US$300 million in post-production, so it was postponed to May 1977. Now, Li Bu wanted to cut off his beard. He knew there was little hope. What if it happened?

At six o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door, and a bodyguard led Zhang Shan in. Li Bu saw Zhang Shan's smile and knew that there should be good news this time, and the same was true.

"Boss, congratulations! This time CBS won the bid with US$600 million and an income of 6.5%, which is [-]% higher than our expectation."

"Congratulations to everyone! Let's open a bottle of champagne tonight to celebrate. When we get back, everyone's bonuses will be doubled." Li Bu was also very happy to see Zhang Shan who was beaming with joy. Li Bu decided to go back and give them bonuses.
