Chapter 2144 Buy a European Cinema?

After the New Year's holiday, the lawsuit between Xiaoniao.com and the German Banijay company about "Star Diving Cube" continued like bullshit.

It is said to be bullshit, but in fact, it has gradually reached the final stage.

In the past few months, it has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe and even the whole world, but now people in Europe and the United States have already suffered from visual fatigue and feel that they are not very interested.

The reason is simple, Xiaoniaowang is too bullying.

Their current team of lawyers has increased a lot compared to when they first started litigation.

Under the organization of the Asian branch of Mario Law Firm, lawyers from several countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and France were added, and the entire team reached the point of more than 60 people, which scared the German courts a little at a loss.

Because the Germans have never seen such a posture of mobilizing troops, nor have they seen such a lawsuit at any cost.

The German Banijay company sued Xiaoniao.com for infringement, but it was just to let them stop the infringement and then compensate 2 million euros. However, the monthly salary and other expenses of the 60-member lawyer team are no less than 3 million. The money that Wang lost on the legal team was almost 12 million euros, which is really a waste of money.

But Xiaoniaowang is still such a waste, and because of this waste, the entire lawsuit has been held for seven debates and trials. The situation has gradually turned to Xiaoniaowang occupying a considerable advantage from the initial one-sided position towards Banijay. .

In fact, Xiaoniao.com still has a lot of confidence, and people with discerning eyes can see that there is still a big gap between Xiaoniao.com's "Star Diving Cube" and Banijay's sports star diving program in Germany.

It’s okay to insist on a little imitation, but whether it’s the mode of operation or the type of stars, etc., most of them are innovated by Xiaoniao.com itself.

Also because of this, public opinion in Europe and the United States is generally not very biased, and now it is exhausted, and everyone does not discuss this matter very much, even Banijay is inclined to reconcile. Let's just leave it at that.

no way.

Banijay Company has been dragged too much energy into it because of this case. The normal operation of the company has been greatly affected, and if the delay continues, the entire company will collapse. Even if the compensation of 2 million euros is obtained, it will definitely not be worth the candle.

When the management was interviewed by the newspaper, they also admitted that they were too naive before, and fighting against a behemoth like Fairy Company is like an ant fighting an elephant. There is no chance of winning at all.

Now what they are thinking about is how to exit decently, and Banijay was the first to ask for an out-of-court settlement.

When this kind of news spread to China, the fans of Xiaoniao.com were extremely excited, feeling that they had won a big victory.

It's no wonder that when they first started their lawsuit with the Germans, they always thought that Huaguo's company would lose, but they didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so powerful. The German couldn't say a word.

European and American journalists with good deeds connected Banijay with GOOGLE and found that Xiao Qi's method is really simple and rude. Anyway, just use money to kill the opponent, without giving any face.

But this kind of behavior of bullying people with more money. Xiao Qi is really handy, because Xiao Qi has too much money, in order to ensure that his own interests are not infringed, he can take out any amount of money.

Taking the two cases together, it also gives a warning to European and American companies, that is, don't mess with Xiao Qi, otherwise this guy will fight you to the end, unless you have a country as a backing to fight against , otherwise it is a big company like BP, Microsoft, and GOOGLE. It is also unable to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of millions, billions or even tens of billions of dollars.

Xiao Qi is actually not spending money randomly.

In addition to increasing deterrence, Xiao Qi also exercised the staff of his Mario (Asia) law firm. At the same time, the shelf of the future Mario (Europe) law firm was also set up.

When this case is over, Xiao Qi will invest 200 million U.S. dollars to bring these more than 20 lawyers from the United Kingdom, Germany and France into Mario (Europe) Law Firm, and give them some shares in the law firm , Let them be responsible for handling the legal affairs of Fairy Fairy Company, as well as the formal listing and external business.

The young man was not very surprised when he received a call from Shen Wuyan and heard that she agreed to reconcile.

Shen Wuyan was born a girl who didn't like to cause trouble. Her childhood experience made her a bit reserved, and she didn't like to be in the limelight.

So after four or five months of litigation, Shen Wuyan also felt a little bored. Since the Germans could no longer hold on, she decided to ask the Germans to issue an apology statement, explaining her "Star Diving Cube" There is no infringement, and no compensation for any money, etc., which spares this group of guys who came to the door.

If this matter were handled by Tang Mingxiang, it would not be so simple. Tang Mingxiang would definitely drag the German Banijay company into bankruptcy.

Putting down the phone, the queen sister in her arms moved a little closer.

Qiao Guo'er doesn't like to wear thick clothes to sleep, so the heating in the room is very good, the delicate and smooth skin touches Xiao Qi, it feels like gelatin, which is very comfortable.

Qiao Guoer, who has been pregnant for six months, has already shown her stomach, waist and breasts. Xiao Qi has to be more careful, so that she can enjoy the novelty with the queen sister again, without hurting her stomach. baby.

The smell of clouds and rain permeated the room, Qiao Guo'er's delicate dimple was a little red, and sweat appeared between her temples, which showed that she had exerted a lot of force just now.

Now she is just quietly enjoying the warmth, and she is lazy and doesn't want to say anything more.

"Wife, have you ever thought about going to Europe to buy another theater?" Xiao Qi asked suddenly, patting Qiao Guo'er's fat buttocks lightly.

"Ah?" Qiao Guoer showed a surprised expression on her delicate and beautiful face, "Why do you still need to buy theaters? Do you think our theaters are not losing much money? If it weren't for the existence of Christmas, New Year and Spring Festival schedules, look at me. I will show you how to cry~~"

Qiao Guoer's life has not been very smooth recently.

The reason lies in the pile of losses of the Kiwi Cinema Line.

Now in 2008 and 2009, the film market in Huaguo has not yet fully boomed, so even if there is a small profit during the National Day schedule, after the opening of the 160-seat Xiaoyao Building IMAX and the 3D Kiwi Cinema, the losses will increase immediately. Increased.

Basically, the IMAX screen is better, and the huge screen feels good. Some blockbuster movies with good special effects, as well as action movies, are shocking and comfortable to watch, and the attendance rate can barely reach 30%.

But 3D and 3D plus IMAX screens are not enough. The most annoying thing is that you have to wear glasses, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable. The average attendance rate does not exceed 18%, and the highest attendance rate is only 25%. Play one game and lose one game.

Of course Qiao Guoer is rich.

Xiao Qi gave her 5 billion loss funds back and forth, and if it was not enough, he would continue to pay her, so there was no pressure at all to deal with this loss.

But everything is afraid of comparison.

The films and TV produced by Kiwi Film and Television Company have brought Qiao Guoer a huge income of no less than 3 billion in the past two years, becoming a giant company in the film and television production industry in the past two years.

Kiwi’s ordinary theaters are also pretty good, because the equipment is very new, and the service attitude and style are similar to those in Europe and the United States, so the average attendance rate has reached 43% in a year, and they can stop losses and make money immediately.

However, these 160 theaters with special effects cost a lot of money not only to buy equipment and patent licenses, but also to spend money on decoration and labor. My son felt unbalanced and uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, Qiao Guoer had to buy European movie theaters. She felt that unless she ate too much, she would not buy it.

"Honey, don't take your eyes so close." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Europe is in a financial crisis now, which happens to be a good time to buy the bottom. If you pass this year, I'm afraid you won't be able to get such a good position again." , Such a good price movie theater.”

"Cut, I don't want it, it's enough for me to guard the Huaguo market." Qiao Guoer remained unmoved.

"You've heard of Cameron, right? It's the director of "Titanic." Xiao Qi continued.

"I've heard of it, but he hasn't appeared in front of the audience for many years." Qiao Guoer tapped Fen Zhen, "But I saw him some time ago. When I was configuring 3D and IMAX screens, he came On a trip to Huaguo, he specifically talked to me about the benefits of 3D... Anyway, he said a lot, as if if I didn't install a 3D screen, it would be an absolute mistake. Hehe, isn't it because of the 3D movie technology? Is he also one of the major shareholders?"

"Hehe, don't really think he's talking nonsense." Xiao Qi said, "By next year's New Year and Spring Festival, you just wait to see how 3D plus IMAX screens make money! I'm sure you can't even count the money Come."

"Oh?" Qiao Guoer rolled her eyes at Xiao Qi, but made up her mind not to be fooled.

Otherwise, if I take on the losses of the European cinema chain, I don't know how bad I will feel.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qi stopped talking.

However, European movie theaters can inquire in advance, as long as they buy it before the release of "Avatar", otherwise it will not be so easy to buy a bunch of good movie theaters when people see the huge profit potential of 3D and IMAX too! (to be continued ~^~)

PS:   According to recent research, the European film market has almost been captured by Hollywood, which is amazing!
