"If Peter Parker can earn 300 million dollars a year, how do you think you will spend it?" Li Jie asked Peter and Gwen solemnly while drinking the black tea that Lan had just made.
And Peter Parker, who was drinking black tea with milk and sugar, heard Li Jie's question, and spit out a mouthful of milk tea. Pfft~! Milk tea was sprayed everywhere, and Li Jie, who happened to be sitting opposite Peter, might have been tricked if he hadn't reacted quickly.
But the table and tablecloths that had just been cleaned were in vain. The traces of milk tea are still difficult to wash off. Li Jie clicked his tongue and said, "My white oak dining table and the newly bought printed tablecloth."
But Peter recovered from the surprise just now. He glanced at the dining table stained by his own milk tea spray, picked up a tablecloth from the side and wiped it. At the same time, he said while wiping, "If I can earn 300 million dollars a year, don't talk about a table and a tablecloth. I'll just give you a big house instead."
Li Jie clicked his tongue twice: "You are as generous as Tony Stark before you get the money."
Peter laughed twice, he thought Li Jie was joking. Because this is three hundred million dollars, not three hundred thousand, not three million. Any average person with an average monthly allowance of $3,000 wouldn't think this was true.
Peter Parker because of Spiderman’s copyright income and the salary of the Horizon Foundation (this part is not high, because Peter is the leader of the [Parker Particle] experiment, and such leaders generally live on research funds. But Parker does not Do not eat their own research funding.), and now they have entered the high-yielding family. But most of Spider-Man's copyright income was donated by Peter to several non-profit orphanages and mission schools in New York City. Another part was handed over to Frank as the activity fund organized by the Night Watchman. The rest is to pay their own tuition and fees, and to support their own family expenses. After all, Uncle Ben is getting older, and the house loan has not been paid off yet.
So in many cases Peter still maintained a relatively simple life. The copyright of Spider-Man is indeed operating, but it has not been as successful as Iron Man.
Although the best-selling comics are Spider-Man, because Spider-Man's style is very pleasing. But when it comes to peripheral operations and copyright operations, Iron Man is the best and most profitable.
Think about it, a set of action toys for Spider-Man, if you come out with a different proportion, it will be over. Because they all look exactly the same, who would buy a bunch of identical Spider-Man toys at home? Of course, except iron powder.
In addition to toys, Spider-Man has not yet released movies and games. His limelight is very popular in New York City, and it can be regarded as a kind of culture in the United States. But how many people will buy it when it goes abroad? It is estimated that there are not a few. The value of Spider-Man's copyright will not be doubled until Hollywood releases a big Spider-Man movie.
But look at Iron Man! In addition to the real-life statues that can produce Tony Stark, this guy also has a variety of steel armor. From the main model to various military aircraft, mass production aircraft, engineering and so on. There are dozens of models in total. And it seems to be increasing.
Then these mechs come in different ratios, from 1:12 to 1:9 to 1:6 and 1:4. This is a pit for cutting leeks! No amount of money is enough to fill this pit.
Then the material can also be divided into ordinary plastic, alloy die-casting and so on. There are movable toys and assembled models, as well as static hand-made statues and so on.
Iron Man peripherals are simply the king of Marvel peripheral operations! Although the popularity is not the highest, Iron Man's ability to make money is the most powerful.
Whether it's Tony Stark himself or his comic book characters, rich people are rich people! Even the money earned from going out is more than everyone else combined.
This level of insane money making leaves others in awe. It is not an exaggeration to say that the authorization of Iron Man can revive a toy factory, because there are dozens of different types of armor, and some only need to change the color and repaint, even if the new model is sold for money (cheat money) up.
So Peter Parker's copyright can now get several million dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars? He didn't even dare to think about it. He still thought that Li Jie was joking with him. But he heard that marvel is cooperating with Blizzard to make new games. Maybe my copyright can be exchanged for a sum of money? Then Li Jie used this to joke with himself?
Li Jie was joking outside of Peter, but Gwen didn't think much of it. Because she could clearly hear a more solemn tone from Li Jie's tone. And what Li Jie said to Peter afterwards [If I can earn 300 million dollars a year, let alone a table and a tablecloth. I'll directly change you to a bigger house] This sentence is a bit noncommittal.
So Gwen asked Li Jie with some uncertainty: "Wait, Jason. What you said is true? 300 million dollars? The big Spider-Man movie is about to start shooting? And you are going to give Peter all the proceeds of the copyright ? Will Marvel’s doing so not affect normal operations?”
This was the most reasonable possibility Gwen could think of. As for the others? Gwen couldn't think of it yet. She couldn't figure out why Peter made three hundred million dollars a year.
If Hollywood's super-big movies operate well, it is normal to earn hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide. It is normal for MARVEL to earn over 100 million as a major shareholder.
But handing all the proceeds to Peter? Isn't that a white job for him?
So Peter immediately realized that this couldn't be done when he heard Gwen say: "Listen Jason. You can't do this. Marvel is a company, and a serious company needs to be profitable. You just pay me what's mine." Part is fine. I won’t accept more.”
Peter acted very sincere and very friendly. But Li Jie couldn't help laughing. There is a slight deviation between what the couple thinks and the real event.
Li Jie didn't immediately mention that Peter's [Parker Particle] could make a lot of money. Peter didn't realize it either. Because [Parker Particles] is still in the stage of crazy money burning. Nearly 100 million dollars of Tony's investment has been burned.
Li Jie continued to ask: "Let's just treat it as a small talk. We haven't discussed some nonsensical and irrelevant topics for a long time. I just want to ask, how do you spend 300 million US dollars? Gwen, you might as well join in this idea Come and discuss it together."
When Peter heard Li Jie say this, he laughed: "300 million dollars a year? Well, if there are 300 million dollars a year, I will definitely buy a super big and super luxurious house. There will be 30 rooms, one One room is used to store my experimental equipment. One room is used to store my spider suit, and then there is another room dedicated to collecting Captain Rogers’ figurines. There is also a room dedicated to playing games!”
Peter Parker said these far-fetched and childish things. Gwen couldn't help but hold his forehead and didn't want to look at him. At this time, Lan also walked into the restaurant, and she put her hand gently on Li Jie's shoulder.
"Well, normal needs." Li Jie felt normal for Peter's actions and behaviors: "But unless you go to Los Angeles to buy a house in Beverly Hills, or get a manor in Long Island. Otherwise, there are very few houses that can You spend 300 million U.S. dollars. A house with your requirements can usually be settled for 10 to 20 million U.S. dollars. You still have more than 200 million U.S. dollars, remember this is the annual income.”
Peter thought for a while: "My God, do you have to spend such a large amount of money? It's terrible, how can I spend it all? Even if I buy all the games on STEAM, there are still a lot. And those games can make I've played till the end of time!"
Gwen couldn't help but patted Peter on the shoulder: "You can only think about playing? Can't you think about other things?"
Peter thought for a moment. "So how about buying you all the bags and shoes that are in fashion this season? I think it can cost tens of millions of dollars."
Lan couldn't help laughing when he heard Peter say that, "That way you'll find that your big thirty-room house will soon fill up, and you'll need to buy a bigger house."
Peter responded: "The money will be spent faster that way. Is this a stimulus to the US economy?"
Gwen patted Peter helplessly: "Why do I need so many bags and shoes? I'm not a girl who pursues material things too much. And I don't think I need to use your money to buy me clothes. Seriously, I would be very happy if you gave me one or two clothes or bags as a gift. But if you send me dozens or hundreds of pieces, I just want to stay away from you."
Gwen looked at Peter and said, "Why don't you want something meaningful? With so much money, only a small part needs to be used in your personal life. Even if you only have 10 million dollars a year, your life is enough to be rich It makes most people feel envious or even jealous."
Peter thought for a while and then nodded: "It does make sense. If I keep a part, say 10 million or 30 million dollars as my personal expenses, I think that much part can be donated , do something meaningful. Do something for charity! I think it’s pretty good.”
Li Jie tilted his head and looked at Peter and asked, "Are you sure?"
Peter smiled brightly: "I'm sure!"
