Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 420: Warner

"The smooth transition of the company is due to all of you present, but there are more severe circumstances waiting for everyone to deal with."

After the greeting, Tang Huan turned serious, "As a free port of Hong Kong, if the global economic situation is good, life will be comfortable, otherwise, it will be sad. According to my inference, the international trade situation in the second half of the year is not optimistic. While we are busy reorganizing the company, we must also prepare for the winter."

Because Tang Huan secretly burst the real estate bubble in Xiangjiang in advance, this negative energy began to continue to be released. It will not be like in the original time and space, waiting until the second half of the year to directly detonate the decline due to political external factors, causing everyone to panic all day long.

This is what Tang Huan is happy to see. After all, he is now on stage. If there is less chaos in Xiangjiang, it is better to have less chaos.

It can be said that this factor was controlled by Tang Huan, but he was beyond the reach of other factors.

For example, whether British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will still fall in front of the Great Hall of the People historically, causing the Hong Kong stock market to fluctuate, Tang Huan cannot be sure, and it can only be decided by God.

However, Tang Huan never expected this accidental factor to become a decisive condition.

There is another more important factor, that is, the signs are becoming more and more obvious that the new round of international economic turmoil marked by the Latin American sovereign debt crisis will still occur in accordance with historical inertia.

Since among the external factors that caused the explosive deterioration of Xiangjiang's economic situation in the second half of the year, the most influential one is inevitable, of course Tang Huan must plan ahead.

"I hope that the loan agreements with major banks should be completely dusted off before mid-August." Tang Huan, who is black-hearted, made no secret of his intention to drag the bank into the water.

In his view, with the advantage of asymmetric information in his possession, the bank's money is neither borrowed nor borrowed, and borrowed after it has finished borrowing. Only in this way can we leverage our strength to leverage greater future benefits and accomplish more achievements.

This is just a briefing, no decision is required, as long as everyone agrees on the idea.

and so. Tang Huan didn't spend much effort, so he came to an end, and then he was about to leave for England.

...

The box office performance of "et aliens" in this year's summer vacation in the United States shattered spectacles.

Since its full release on June 11. "Et Aliens" topped the box office charts on June 13th, June 20th, and June 27th for three consecutive weekends, and the box office revenue was an exaggeration of two US$12 million and one US$13 million. There is no precedent in history.

And looking at the trend, this is just the beginning. According to the media reports, the film copy of "et aliens" specially packed in green bags and being sent to various theaters non-stop and tightly guarded shows how its commercial value is. .

Seeing that Tang Huan made a lot of money in this summer file, but he was somewhat ineffective. Warner boss Steve Ross couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Just as Steve Rose's temper was getting worse and worse, his subordinates finally did a comfortable thing to find Spielberg, who had recently been so busy with the dragon.

To be honest, Steve Ross really did not expect that a children's film with a simple plot like "et aliens" would be so popular.

How could Tang Huan find such a bargain?

Scratching his heart, Steve Ross forcedly resisted this maddening thought and began to talk to Spielberg about the authorization of the video game adaptation of "et aliens", and he was secretly ruthless. No more opportunities can be wasted.

"Stephen, congratulations on the great success of your "et Alien". By the way, I heard that your "Noisy Ghost" performed equally well at the box office. Over 100 million is a certainty."

Steve Ross laughed exaggeratedly, "It seems that this year is Spielberg's miracle year."

While Spielberg was dealing with Steve Rose's compliments, he felt a little uneasy, because he had basically determined that the other party wanted to get the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game.

Now there is a rumor from the outside world. That is the most recent period of time, Spielberg has accounted for half a million dollars a day.

This number may be a bit exaggerated, but Spielberg does earn a lot of money. Therefore, he is very grateful for Tang Huan's selfless support.

However, there is one thing that makes Spielberg more entangled. At the beginning, Tang Huan relied on the convenience of film investors to book the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game. But ea also seems careless and has been busy developing games for personal computer platforms.

Because Tang Huan promised that if a third party is willing to break through the terms and agree to a price of more than 30 million US dollars to compete for the authorization of the "et alien" video game adaptation, then Spielberg can decide on his own, so Spielberg is right That bit of ea's grievance disappeared, and the big bosses respected him so much, what else do they want.

But now that Steve Ross suddenly jumped out, Spielberg can't calm down again. The other party won't really be willing to pay 30 million US dollars, right? If this is the case, how should you decide?

Spielberg was fighting between heaven and man. He heard Steve Ross ask: "I heard that the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game is still in your hands?"

"Not exactly, ea has already ordered the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game." Spielberg groaned and added, "but there are also liquidated damages, as long as someone is willing to pay more than 30 million US dollars. The price, I can decide on my own the ownership of the video game adaptation of "et Alien"."

"Interesting rules." Steve Ross snorted disdainfully, "I have to say that Tang Huanong's article seems to be very appealing on the surface, but in fact it is that he firmly fixed it with a low price. Locked in the authorization to adapt the video game "et Aliens", in the end, it is you who suffer the financial loss."

Spielberg smiled non-committal. He didn't want to comment on the intrigue in the mall. Anyway, Tang Huan was kind and he knew it personally.

"Do you think that I said that Tang Huan was hypocritical?" Steve Ross smiled slightly, "What do you think of this, I paid 30 million US dollars. You authorized the "et Alien" video game adaptation to Atari When the time comes, look again, Tang Huan won't pretend to be so magnanimous?"

I have to say that Steve Ross, a mall mansion, is extremely deep. He did not directly say that he wanted to buy the authorization of "et Alien" to adapt the video game. After all, "et Alien" is so popular. The relationship between Spielberg and Tang Huan may be in the honeymoon period. It is not easy to lobby, so The current method of wooing by provoking discord was adopted.

Seeing Spielberg's face turned different. Steve Ross was smug in his heart, and 30 million dollars was enough to make a person's heart susceptible.

In fact, if Steve Ross knew how to read minds and knew what Spielberg was thinking, he would surely spit out blood and faint.

Steve Ross wants to buy a license for the video game adaptation of "et aliens" for US$30 million. To test whether Tang Huan pretended to be generous, Spielberg remembered another promise of Tang Huan that if ea had not started the "et alien" video game project by the end of the year, he would be willing to pay Amperin. The company is 30 million US dollars.

Isn't this called tolerance? Tang Huan only tried to admonish ea's arrogant subordinates and didn't directly interfere. Otherwise, "et aliens" must have begun to adapt to video games.

In such a comparison, Steve Ross is really a villain and weary.

However, some people are willing to bid 30 million US dollars to compete for the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game, which also surprised Spielberg.

Seeing Spielberg's silence, Steve Ross raised the price boldly, "How about $32 million? You know, this is a windfall for you. Can ea pay this price?"

"Okay. I agree to this deal in principle." Spielberg nodded.

On the surface, Spielberg seemed to be overwhelmed by Steve Rose's grandeur, but in fact, he had other plans.

Judging from the current reaction of ea. The executives really seem to have no time to take care of the video game project of "et aliens".

As a result, Tang Huan might really have to pay Abelin US$30 million at the end of the year.

Instead of this, it might as well sell the license of "et aliens" adapted video game to Steve Ross. Anyway, this income also falls on the name of Amperin, and Tang Huan, who is a shareholder, not only Don't lose the bet awkwardly. You can also share this income together.

So why not do it, Spielberg feels that he has a clear conscience.

"Agree in principle?" Steve Ross asked with blinking eyes, "Could it be that you have other requirements?"

"Yes." Spielberg nodded heavily. "I want to reserve the right to direct the video game adaptation of "et Aliens"."

Speaking of this, Spielberg sighed, "Although I am not familiar with the video game industry, I have also heard that the quality of video games now varies from good to bad, and there are even games such as pornographic slaughter of Indians. Of course, I believe that Atari will definitely not do this, but I have other artistic requirements."

Steve Ross nodded slightly with a look of understanding, and said, "There is no problem, then it is according to you."

I have to say that for useful people, Steve Ross has always been generous.

In the original time and space, celebrities like Barbra Streisand Spielberg and so on were all caught by Steve Ross at a big price.

But after Tang Huan was born, Steve Ross used these tricks on Spielberg, and the effect was obviously greatly compromised.

When Spielberg left, Steve Ross smiled smugly, although he didn't expect to get the license to adapt the video game "et Aliens" to defeat Atari's number one enemy ea in one fell swoop. , But it can defeat the opponent, and at the same time strengthen Atari's strength. This is already the best of both worlds.

In addition, his large sums of money were not spent in vain, and Spielberg wanted to use his favor.

Steve Ross started from inheriting the funeral home business run by his father-in-law, stepped into the parking lot industry, and finally extended his career to Warner.

This foundation is established step by step by Steve Ross with his flexible wrist and extraordinary wit, galloping between Wall Street and the Mafia, completing various intricate negotiations.

During this period, Steve Ross has encountered countless opponents, but no matter how difficult the opponent is, he can think of ways to deal with it.

But Tang Huan, the lucky Hollywood upstart in Silicon Valley, made Steve Ross extremely big.

Born in a top-notch school, Tang Huan is engaged in the glamorous high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. His down-to-earth successful entrepreneurial journey has attracted countless young people to worship, and his outstanding eloquence has won the favor of Wall Street.

This kind of success like a divine help makes Steve Ross and his like, who have climbed to the status of a master through various intrigues, inevitably become sour in their hearts.

What is even more exaggerated is that the ea stomping on Atari's head, and the constant friction with Warner United United States, strictly speaking, are Tang Huan's sideline business.

Whenever I think of this, Steve Ross, who increasingly feels that he is at a disadvantage, can only be described in terms of how emotional it is.

Now by grabbing the authorization of "et aliens" to adapt the video game and attacking ea, Steve Ross is naturally overjoyed and a little gaffe.

"Don't think I only have this trick." Steve Ross, who slowly closed his smile, muttered to himself, picked up the phone and asked the assistant, "Is Irwinkshner here?"

"Sir~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He called just now and said that he is still on the road and needs to wait another half an hour." The crisp female voice replied.

Steve Ross put down the phone, a cruel look flashed across his face, "It's not only United States that can release "007," Warner can also."

It turns out that Warner recently invested in an unofficial "007" movie, which is the original "neversaynever" and "cruise missile" in the original time and space.

Because of copyright reasons, "Cruise Missile" can be said to be troublesome. It was not until this year that the lawsuit was completely settled. The dust settled and the project can be formally established.

Warner, who has always been eager for the exclusive use of the fat of "007" by the United States, did not hesitate to invest and chose the director of "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"; Kershner Irwinkshner will direct it, and please Here comes Seanery Sean Connery, the first actor of James Bond, to play the leading role.

Obviously, Warner, who is attacking in two lines, intends to give Tang Huan a look. To be continued.
