Chapter 1998 Realm

After taking care of Marvel Studios, Feng Yiping's schedule became more relaxed.

To be honest, those interested in acquiring Marvel are naturally motivated by the money-making machine that is Marvel Studios.

The reason why he values ​​Kevin Feige's opinion so much is because he glanced at it in the news later and found out that it was this guy who looked a lot like Woody Harrelson who successfully turned Marvel Studios into a circle. Money machine.

This is why he immediately appointed this middle-aged man, whom he had never met, to be the person in charge of Marvel Studios after reading the relevant personnel's information.

Thanks to the mobile Internet era, thanks to the many news clients on smartphones, and thanks to his complex interests, an article and a name that he only glanced at at the time have now become the biggest basis for his decision-making.

It was also his confidence in acquiring Marvel.

This time, because he has sufficient financial support in advance, Feng Yiping is very much looking forward to bringing himself tens of billions of dollars in revenue from Marvel Studios in the next ten years.

Gaga, to be honest, I have successfully accomplished such a beautiful thing, and I can really wake up laughing once or twice when I dream at night.

But this does not mean that he can take his two children on vacation in Los Angeles leisurely.

After an in-depth understanding of Marvel, he discovered that it was not just the film department that could tap Marvel's potential and bring him more wealth.

If you think about it carefully, the TV drama business actually has great potential.

Among Netflix’s later self-made content, self-made TV series accounted for the largest share, while self-made movies were still a minority.

Just like knowing that Kevin Feige will lead Marvel to make money all over the world in the future, now that he knows that Netflix will make a lot of money from self-made TV series in the future, Feng Yiping feels that he can completely follow this established routine.

So during lunch with Palmater, he discussed this issue.

"Palmater, in addition to taking care of film projects, I hope that you can also take charge of the TV business. I wonder if you can take the existing team or reorganize a team and practice with a TV series first. Let me see the strength of our TV series production,"

For a person with Palmater's personality, he would not think that he was responsible for too many things.

"This is not a problem, the problem is, the sales after production..."

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Palmater, Mr. Fitch," a middle-aged man in a well-groomed suit came over with a smile on his face, "Thank you very much for coming to our restaurant. I am the beverage director of the restaurant. It is an honor to serve all three,"

"Hello," Feng Yiping nodded towards him, but hoped that he would go away soon.

For a person like him, who knows everything about red wine, the last thing he wants to face in such a high-end Western restaurant is the sommelier, because that is a rare time when he is not confident.

Looking at the sommeliers who were very well-groomed and well-mannered, they were very classy and introduced this wine and that wine in detail, but he couldn't understand them at all.

"Mr. Feng, look, combined with today's menu, I recommend this to several people..."

"Please let that gentleman decide," Feng Yiping gestured towards Palmater.

"Let me decide?" Palmater immediately picked up the wine list excitedly.

"I already regret it," Feng Yiping said quickly when he saw this.

You can see how excited Parmat is. It is obvious that he is not paying for the lunch meal.

Stingy people generally have two characteristics. One is that they want to spend less, and the other is that they want others to spend more.

Feng Yiping was very happy to see Feng Yiping drinking champagne at the company in the morning, because Feng Yiping drank a glass of champagne he bought at the company in the morning, so naturally Feng Yiping was the host of the meal at noon.

"You don't need to introduce me," Palmater said to the beverage director who came over specially, "I'll see for myself."

"Oh, it's so rare that we actually have this bottle? Feiqi, what do you think of this?" He asked Feiqi next to him with a smile.

Feng Yiping saw the smile on his face and the strange look on Fei Qi's face, and immediately guessed that this old gentleman must have no good intentions.

As soon as he picked up the drink list, the beverage director came over attentively, "Mr. Feng, this is the bottle that Parmat likes,"

He flipped through the pages and said, "The 47-year-old Pinot Noir from Berio Winery is the first top-quality wine in Napa Valley. Our restaurant just got two bottles of it not long ago. We are honored to serve you..." "

The next second, his eloquent introduction came to an abrupt end because the richest young man currently visiting their restaurant suddenly took a look.

Although that glance was brief, this person clearly saw murderous intent in it?

His feeling was not wrong.

When Feng Yiping looked at the price at the back, he was immediately shocked. It was more than 26,000, and it was still US dollars?

Banana, you guava guy, how much of a scapegoat do you think I am?

To say that in China, a bottle of wine worth more than 20,000 yuan is really nothing, but in the United States, Feng Yiping has come into contact with so many rich people. Not to mention a bottle of wine costing more than 20,000 yuan, just a meal costs more than 6,000 yuan. I’ve never seen anything in U.S. dollars.

Of course, they may have a collection more expensive than this bottle in their wine cabinet, and they may also spend tens of thousands of dollars on extravagant purchases, but at least Feng Yiping has never encountered anyone who spends tens of thousands of dollars in a restaurant.

Mr. Parmat naturally saw this scene and said, "Just this bottle, Yingge Winery's 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon."

He came to this step very timely, and the beverage director had something to say again, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Parmat's choice is very good. In 1994, it was Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which received a high score of 95 points from relevant professional organizations." years,"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping closed the wine list and signaled that he could leave.

He didn't look at the unit price of this bottle, but he believed that Palmater wouldn't go too far after seeing his reaction just now.

"This wine is not bad," Palmater said. "I drank it twice and never forget it. This time, Feng, I have to thank you for your generosity."

I never forget it, but I only drank it twice? This, wouldn't it be possible to be tricked by him again?

"Nearly 3,000 US dollars," Fitch saw and quickly added next to him.

He could finally tell that the old and new bosses seemed to be using this method to quickly become familiar with each other.

Otherwise, based on the net worth of these two people, a bottle of wine worth more than 20,000 US dollars is nothing.

$3,000! Okay, just now one bottle cost more than 24,000 US dollars, and this bottle costs 24,000 RMB. It hurts a little, but it is not unacceptable.

"If this wine is just average, then I have to find an explanation from the person in charge of this restaurant today," Feng Yiping said.

"Believe me, you can't be wrong," Palmater said with a smile.

Of course it's not wrong, it's not your money.

"Feng, it seems like you don't know much about wine, so I'm curious, how do you usually order wine when you go to a restaurant?" Palmater asked.

"It's very simple," Feng Yiping said without thinking. "In any case, no matter what the sommelier recommends, my choice is the bottle at the bottom of the wine list."

Fitch suddenly felt that his life in the future seemed to be really difficult. How could this new boss with a net worth of over ten billion US dollars be so frugal, even frugal than himself?

"Where are you, Fitch?" Palmater asked again.

“I usually choose the second-to-last bottle on the drink list,” he said.

"Well, most people would make the second-to-last or third-to-last choice so that the drink they choose doesn't look so cheap," Palmater commented.

"Is this what you chose?" Feng Yiping asked.

"No, my choice is the same as yours," he said. "Now if I have to, I will choose the cheapest bottle. Fitch, your choice, although very common, is not advisable."

"The iron rule of shopping malls is that it is better to sell than to buy. They have naturally grasped this psychology of customers and will be ashamed to choose the last bottle because it will be somewhat embarrassing. Therefore, even if you look up from the last row, click When drinking wine, I usually choose the second to last or third to last wine,”

"Then what will they do? Since the wine in this location will sell faster, they will obviously put the backlog of wine in this location,"

"In such a high-end restaurant, even the cheapest wine will be of good quality, so in the future, the best choice is to follow your original intention and choose the cheapest bottle, which must have the highest value ,"

Feng Yiping really wanted to give Parmat a thumbs up at this moment. This stingy guy is so stingy that he makes great sense. He really wants to obey you without any support!

In other words, the reason why he had the nerve to order the cheapest wine was because he was not afraid of other people's strange eyes at this time.

Even if his behavior spreads, it will probably become a good story.

But ordinary people still need to care about those strange looks.

Of course, he didn't interrupt much at this time.

When Palmater said this specifically to Fitch, it was obviously not just to communicate with him how to order a drink.

"I understand," Feiqi nodded, somewhat solemnly, raised his glass and touched it with Feng Yiping and the others.

"Talking back to the production of the TV series," Feng Yiping straightened the crooked building with great joy as he watched the two of them having a fruitful conversation, "Parmat, you don't have to worry about sales at all."

"What I'm most worried about is sales. I'm worried that TV series that cost huge sums of money to shoot will not have a broadcast platform. You see, thinking about this, I think that if I chose Disney, it might be a good choice. After all, they have their own cable TV television network,” Palmater said.

"As long as you can produce high-quality TV series, I guarantee you that sales will not be a problem. Well, I do not have a cable TV network now, but I can tell you that Netflix is ​​developing a set-top box,"

"Oh, this is good!" Palmater and Fitch said at the same time.

If it can occupy the TV in everyone's living room, it will naturally be good news for both movies and TV.

"As for the cable TV network," Feng Yiping pondered for a moment, "I don't think it's a problem. Can Fox do it? Disney's ABC is not hopeless."

"Really, can you negotiate?" Palmater was a little excited now.

"I think Fox is more confident," Feng Yiping said.

"That's great," Palmater said. "In that case, I'll start working on it right away,"

"Not only that, don't forget, we also have Netflix, which sells DVDs, and YouTube, an online playback platform,"

"Well, it seems that we really have no shortage of broadcast platforms,"

"No, you have forgotten the most important thing," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"What else?" Palmater glanced at Fitch, only to find that he was equally confused.

"Of course, don't forget, I am also backed by a large market of more than one billion people,"

"Oh, by the way, China,"

"Yes, China," Feng Yiping nodded with a bit of pride, "Both national TV stations and local TV stations have plans to introduce overseas dramas. At this stage, our domestic, or Chinese-language film and television The company is weak in the production of hard science fiction,"

"Oh, by the way, I have a special effects company in India, don't forget,"

Palmater and Fitch were overjoyed again, which was naturally good.

But Palmater said, "How come this is not surprising to me?"

Feng Yiping didn't bother to pay attention to his sarcasm, "As I said, as long as our drama series are of high quality, I will definitely be able to introduce them to China,"

"Actually, it would not be bad to give one or two free movies to China's national television stations," Feige suddenly said.

"Not bad," "This is a good suggestion,"

Although Feige's suggestion was suspected of paving the way for his future movies, his words still made Feng Yiping and Palmater's eyes suddenly light up.
