Almighty Technology Giant

Chapter 30: : $ 1.52 billion in a single transaction

The signing of this contract can be said to be the official launch of this young sailing ship of the Coastline Company.

Walt Disney this time played a "intermediary", and still does not charge "intermediary fees".

This contract can be said to be the guarantor of Disney's North American theater company. North American-led foreign theater companies don't believe in shoreline technology, but obviously believe in Walt Disney. After all, Dibao is now a multinational with a market value of more than 250 billion US dollars. Giant.

I have to say that Walt Disney has a unique vision. Previously, I bought the Star Wars series from Lucas and then made a lot of money. I also bought a lot of money made again by Marvel. Recently, One big deal was the acquisition of Century Fox, and big IPs such as "X-Men", "Fantastic Four" and "Avatar" were included in Disney's Majesty.

现在 And now dare to guarantor a little-known company, this Mickey Mouse can really do anything.

I can only say that being rich is willful, and you can do whatever you want.

According to the contents of the agreement, Coastline Technology received a large single contract of US $ 1.52 billion and required to complete the shipment of a total of 15,000 sets of holographic host projection equipment products on October 9, 2020, leaving time for the coastline. Less than two years, the average price of a holographic host is about 700,000 yuan.

Definitely a huge profit, because a set of holographic host is based on the cost of hardware, and is delivered to the foundry for production and shipment, there are less than 40,000 soft sister coins, and $ 84 million is exchanged for 1.52 billion dollars in revenue. Is no different from stealing money.

Of course, this is Ye Hua's advantage, because his research and development costs are almost zero, rich people can do whatever they want, and open men can do whatever they want.

But in fact, in terms of the value of the product, holographic technology is more than one grade higher than IMAX, and the cost of a set of IMAX projection system has reached a sky-high cost of 20 million yuan. Because of the huge investment in research and development, the price cannot be lowered. The price of a holographic projection system is simply cabbage.

But then again, price and value are easily confused concepts. The low cost of holographic technology does not mean that it is of low value. Coastline technology can produce such low-value high-value products, which is the technological strength of coastline technology.

And in order to encourage invention and creation, technological monopoly is protected by law, there are such things as intellectual property protection and patent law, this is where high-tech companies make money.

In fact, Ye Hua originally wanted to take the high-end line. In short, it was more frustratingly high pricing. IMAX was 20 million. Then the holographic projection equipment was sold for 10 million, sold for 1,000, and sold for less than 6,500. However, the total profit is almost the same.

商业 From a business point of view and for the purpose of profit, this is obviously more profitable. Apple ’s global market share of mobile phones is less than 20 points, but it has taken more than 80 points of profit. It is sufficient to refer to Apple Inc. for reference.

It ’s just that Ye Hua wants to do this, but objective conditions do not allow it, because the start of coastline technology is too difficult, no money, no market. So far, from beginning to end, Ye Hua has been short in terms of market and capital. It ’s a white wolf, and those who are willing to be trapped by him are not stupid. It requires coastline technology to pay the benefits that match it.

If you want to take the high-end route, Di Baby will not bird you. How many box office can bring with 500 holographic screens and 1,000 holographic screens? Walt Disney is not stupid.

However, Ye Hua is not too entangled, the money can not be earned, the right to pay this is to pay for the difficult start of the coastline technology.

Even so, mastering the advantages of core technology monopoly and taking the mass line is still a big profit. This is a super big fat list of 1.52 billion US dollars.

According to the content of the agreement, this contract is a large order, and the cinema company of the product purchaser pays a deposit of 60 million US dollars in advance. This money is the payment that Coastline Technology uses to outsource foundry products, because Coastline Technology has no money, although Storm Technology Smashed 150 million over, but that money can only be used to provide product supply for the storm private film, it can not be used for other expenditures.

Therefore, we can only use the empty glove white wolf again. One is willing to beat the other. Disney, as the guarantor, is responsible for the theater company and bears the corresponding risks. And this 60 million US dollars is a deposit, not a deposit. In simple terms, the deposit is refundable. If there is a breach of contract, compensation is required according to the liability for breach of contract. However, once the deposit is paid, it is difficult to refund it.

叶 If Ye Hua ran off or something, those overseas cinema companies could only go to Di Bao to calculate the ledger.

We must know that in 2012, Pharaoh acquired 100% equity of AMC Cinemas, the second largest cinema company in the world, for 2.6 billion US dollars, assumed all its debts, and invested 500 million US dollars in operating capital.

This big US $ 1.52 billion order is definitely not risky for theater companies without protection. If there were no giant giants such as Walt Disney as a guarantee, theater companies would not have the courage. It will be bankrupted and liquidated, and you can't afford to sell your underwear.

$ 1.52 billion is indeed an unimaginable price, but judging by the whales of Fox at Walt Disney, it is a piece of cake, and it is also about the sag. It was held at the Hilton Hotel in downtown New York on July 27 last year. At a special meeting, the shareholder vote lasted for ten minutes, and the deal between Disney's M & A and Fox with a total value of US $ 85.1 billion and struggling for eight months was settled.

对比 Compared with US $ 1.52 billion and US $ 85.1 billion, even Mickey Mouse's fractions are not comparable.

Relatively speaking, it is only a direct economic loss of 60 million US dollars and a waste of energy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com this loss and risk compared to its ultra-high return, for Walt Disney, there are sufficient reasons. Carry on.

The large contract of US $ 1.52 billion is not to say that it was thrown over after it was signed. Coastline Technology wants to receive the remaining US $ 1.46 billion of this revenue. It needs to wait until October 2020 and be directly charged by Walt Disney. This is the real giant, with cash flow of about $ 1.5 billion at any time.

After the contract was signed, Ye Hua's first thing was to organize the company to find a mass production of holographic projection equipment in the foundry. Fortunately, the core of the product for computing holographic equipment is not the hardware itself, but the software's curved path algorithm. As a product, if the key core technology is on hardware, you must build your own production line, a complete set of hardware anti-leakage processes, corresponding patent applications, etc. It is absolutely impossible to complete the contract requirements in October 2020 of.

What Ye Hua has to do now is to hand down the list to the foundry, and then wait for the foundry to produce a qualified amount of output, and then all he needs to do is to “install a system” for the host. It is really that simple. This set of procedures The cost is almost negligible, because the technology and work on the software is just a copy.

And the day after the transaction contract was signed, the person in charge of The Walt Disney Group in Greater China held a press conference. Ye Hua represented Coastline Technology, Zhang Zhizhong represented Disney, and several other foreign white faces were North American. Several major cinema companies, along with director James Cameron, attended the event and officially announced the relevant content of the cooperation.

All of a sudden, the whole network was a sensation.
