Chapter 826 Interlaced Lines Are Like Mountains

As time entered December, Li Dong was much more relaxed than before.

On the supermarket side, Sun Tao, Wang Yue, Chen Lang... are not weak, and they just defeated Suguo not long ago, so their morale is good.

At this time, whether it is expansion or stability maintenance, they can do it well without Li Dong intervening.

As for the Internet industry, after Li Dong split the business last time, everyone is still in the integration stage.

Leaving the general direction to them, Li Dong didn't want to care about it anymore.

He is not a professional in this field, he can only do this, give the general direction, how to do it, how to develop, can only rely on themselves.

December 3rd.

As soon as Li Dong returned to the Provincial Party Committee compound from Wanyuan, Bai Feng called, and the agency of DNF was taken down.

35 million a year.

The price may not seem high, but it is actually terribly high.

NEOPLE's original asking price was only 15 million, but game companies such as Shanda and Lianzhong thought it too high.

Later, I met Tencent, who was taken advantage of. Xiao Ma didn't care about money, so he agreed after a few times of hypocrisy.

NEOPLE originally thought that the price was acceptable, but was secretly proud of it. Look at it, let’s just say that Chinese people have a lot of money.

In the end, good guy, I didn't expect to jump out of my stupid money again.

Just when they were about to sign a contract with Tencent, Yuanfang jumped out for the second time.

The Yuanfang Group, which had just defeated Suguo, seemed extraordinarily rich and powerful, with a mouthful of 20 million, and it immediately suppressed Tencent.

The people at NEOPLE are happy, but Brother Xiaoma is not happy anymore. If you don’t come sooner or later, I’m about to sign a contract. You come to make trouble at this time, and you deliberately slap me in the face, right?

You have money from afar, and our Tencent is not bad.

The two people who were regarded as fools with a lot of money finally got into a real fight. It was not until Tencent's bid of 30 million was overshadowed by Yuanfang's 35 million that Xiao Ma decided not to play.

If you like to play, go play yourself!

35 million a year, this is just the agency fee, and the game company also gets a share.

And domestic operations and publicity are all paid for from afar.

All in all, this DNF's annual revenue is less than 100 million, which is a loss-making business.

Even if it exceeds 100 million, it is hard to say whether it can make money.

A small 2D game, although Tencent is more optimistic, but in 2007 and 2008, the revenue was hundreds of millions, and even Tencent was not sure of it.

The profit margin is not big, and those idiots in the distance don't care about money, Brother Xiao Ma gave up completely.

Of course, these psychological activities are all guessed by Li Dong himself.

However, from Bai Feng's complicated tone, Li Dong felt that he should have guessed right.

When Bai Feng asked himself if he could not attend the contract, Li Dong said, "I won't go, you and Mr. Shen can decide. By the way, what is the percentage?"

"40% of the profits go to NEOPLE."

Li Dong frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

I worked desperately to help with publicity and work, but as a result, they just charged 40% of my profits for a copyright, which is really making money.

Many of these game companies in South Korea have grown up domestically.

Hanbok can’t make a lot of money, but the national server is enough to make money. Sometimes even Hanbok loses money, but the national server makes a lot of money.

Li Dong thought for a while and asked, "Can we acquire NEOPLE? Also, the acquisition of the SmileGate company mentioned last time, how is the negotiation going?"

Bai Feng was a little dazed, his boss was really... really fierce!

To act as an agent for a game is to acquire a game company. If you continue to play like this, is there still anyone left to play?

Despite muttering in his heart, Bai Feng said honestly: "It's okay for SmileGate to say, after all, the other party only has one game, so they should be able to complete the acquisition with a small price. We are currently negotiating with SmileGate, and the results should come out soon.

But NEOPLE company..."

Speaking of which, Bai Feng said helplessly: "Mr. Li,

At this time, DNF has already gained popularity abroad, and the value of NEOPLE is constantly rising.

And I heard that the Korean game giant Nexon has also noticed NEOPLE, and the two parties seem to be discussing the issue of acquisition.

At this time we intervene..."

Li Dong interrupted: "Don't talk about this, according to your estimate, how much is NEOPLE worth?"

"About RMB 1.5 billion, just a lot more."

"so much?"

Li Dong was surprised and said, "Isn't this game popular in their company? Why is the value so high?"

Bai Feng smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Li, this is actually not the main problem. What is more important is that NEOPLE is different from SmileGate. SmileGate is not well-known now, so we bought it when we bought it.

And NEOPLE is already well-known, and the acquisition of them may attract the attention of the South Korean government.

The South Korean government still attaches great importance to the game industry, even if it is a small studio, it is very difficult to acquire such a well-known company. "

"Is that so?"

Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Give it a try, if you can buy it, buy it, if you can't buy it, see if you can buy the copyright of DNF..."

Bai Feng is about to vomit blood, does it make a difference?

NEOPLE is such a popular game, what is the difference between selling the copyright and selling the company?

Fortunately, Li Dong then added: "Just try to buy domestic copyrights, I don't want foreign ones."

Although DNF is currently considered popular abroad, Li Dong knows that the national server will be the biggest revenue maker in the future.

As for foreign copyrights, let's talk about whether the other party will sell them or not. Even if they sell them, Li Dong may not be willing to buy them.

Hearing that Li Dong said to only buy domestic copyrights, Bai Feng was relieved. In fact, the difficulty is not low, but people are like this. After making more difficult requirements, she relaxes some requirements, but she feels very satisfied.

But Bai Feng still reminded: "Mr. Li, because of our previous competition with Tencent, even if we buy it, the price may not be low."

At this time, Bai Feng was a little bit complaining about Li Dong, you said you would buy it, so just talk about the copyright and forget it.

Now that the agency fee alone has reached 35 million, how can we continue to negotiate.

Even if the original 100-200 million can be bought, the price has at least doubled now, or even higher.

Once out and in, the company has spent hundreds of millions more, and it doesn't feel like money is money.

But Li Dong is the boss, even if Bai Feng is dissatisfied, he can't say anything.

Li Dong didn't think too much about it, sometimes he couldn't remember so many things.

Li Dong could only remember what he thought of.

Before, he was only thinking about the agency rights, and he forgot about it for a while. If Bai Feng hadn't said about the share ratio, Li Dong would have even forgotten about it.

40% of the net profit goes to the developer, even if it is an ordinary game.

Li Dong is reluctant to take advantage of others in such a hot game.

A DNF has probably earned tens of billions of dollars in a few years in China, and NEOPLE’s share alone has exceeded 10 billion yuan, which is close to two trillion won when converted into Korean won. It’s scary to think about it.

Moreover, DNF is actually just a microcosm. In the next few years, Korean game companies should not make too much money in China.

But Li Dong can't help it, who makes domestic game development not as good as foreign countries.

He is not in the mood to develop more in this area. If he can merge and acquire, he will acquire a few companies and develop it himself, which consumes too much energy and too much capital.

It is enough to hold a few popular games in your hands. As for the others, let the domestic game companies figure out a solution.

These gaps cannot be solved by him merging a few companies. Fundamentally, the country is weaker, and if it lags behind, it will be beaten. It is an eternal truth.

After talking with Bai Feng on the phone, Li Dong received a call from Hu Xiaorui after a while.

The girl quickly said "Hurry up to Dongxing Entertainment" on the phone and hung up the phone, Li Dong was confused.

Although he didn't know what happened, but he felt that Hu Xiaorui was in a hurry, and he happened to be idle, so Li Dong went out to Dongxing Entertainment.

...

Universal Building.

Li Dong wandered upstairs, unlike the last time he came here, when Li Dong came today, the company was full of people.

Li Dong even saw a lot of familiar faces, who should be the newly signed artists of the company.

As soon as Li Dong arrived, the office that had been bustling just now fell silent.

Then there was a continuous sound of greetings in the office.

The actors, whether they are big-name stars or young artists, are a little excited at this time.

Unlike before, although Li Dong was rich before, no one knew exactly how much money he had. We only know that Li Dong's net worth was about 3 billion in the 2007 Hurun list.

However, as soon as the Hurun List came out this year, Li Dong ranked among the top ten in China with a wealth of 36 billion. These are two completely different concepts.

One of the ten richest people, this is completely incomparable with 2006.

Seeing Li Dong again at this time, and the other party is also a shareholder of Dongxing Entertainment, everyone is naturally enthusiastic.

If Li Dong takes a fancy to him, he has a lot of money, and he will spend hundreds of millions to praise you, it's not easy to get popular.

After the other people greeted him, they were a little afraid to go forward to talk. When Li Dong came last time, Yang Xin, who received him, stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you can count yourself here. Mr. Hu is waiting for you in the office. Let me lead you there."

Li Dong nodded and didn't say much.

As for the woman's eyes of protesting at other people, Li Dongquan pretended not to see it.

Although they are all artists from the same company, everyone is not friendly in secret. The company has only so many resources, and it is almost just a word from the boss.

Although Li Dongren is not in Dongxing Entertainment, many people know that Mr. Hu is very obedient to Li Dong's words.

If Li Dong said something for them, needless to say, there must be too many resources to use up.

Yang Xin stood up and led Li Dong to Hu Xiaorui's office at this time, and she looked familiar, so everyone would definitely give her a high look.

It's not even necessary to guess whether she has any special relationship with Li Dong, but Li Dong doesn't care too much about these things.

Opportunities are all grasped by oneself. Just now a random person stood up and asked him to go to Hu Xiaorui's office, and Li Dong would agree.

But these people dare not come forward, so Li Dong can't be blamed for not giving them a chance.

Walking towards Hu Xiaorui's office with Yang Xin, Li Dong said as he walked, "Is there anything good going on today? There are quite a few people in the company, and you all seem to be in a good mood."

Yang Xin hurriedly said: "Scary Step By Step has finished, and now it has entered the late stage of the system. Mr. Hu seems to be talking with the TV station about broadcasting. It may be the first round of stardom early next year, so everyone is more happy. "

"Finished? So fast?"

Yang Xin was a little nervous and said: "The preparations have been going on since June, and it has been almost half a year, and Mr. Hu has invested regardless of the cost. The speed is not bad."

Li Dong didn't say anything more, but asked curiously, "What does it mean to be a star in the first round?"

Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and explained with a smile on his face: "Shangxing basically means broadcasting on various David TVs, which is the kind that can be seen all over the country.

Sometimes it is very difficult to get a star in a TV series. If some film and television companies are not strong, they may broadcast it on local channels in the first round.

In that way, we can only see it locally, so the influence is weak, and the price is not high. "

Li Dong nodded, and generally understood what Shangxing meant.

But he was not surprised, with his and Hu Ming's status, being a star was nothing.

On Jiangbei Satellite TV, if Li Dong wants to say hello, as long as he can pass the radio and television barrier, even if it is broadcast, it is guaranteed to be in prime time.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the door of the office.

Li Dong didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open and entered.

In the office, Hu Xiaorui was talking to someone, when he saw someone came in without knocking on the door, he just wanted to get angry, when he saw that it was Li Dong, Hu Xiaorui's anger dissipated immediately, and he said with a smile: "Li Dong, you are here."

Li Dong said helplessly: "What you said on the phone seemed to catch fire, can it be okay if I don't come?"

"Hee hee, am I not happy?"

Hu Xiaorui said excitedly: ""Scary Step by Step" is finished, and the post-production is almost finished. When the radio and television company passes the review, we will be able to broadcast on the stars, and we can finally make money!"

"congratulations."

Li Dong laughed and sat down opposite Hu Xiaorui. The employee who had reported to Hu Xiaorui hurriedly stood aside and said respectfully, "Mr. Li."

Li Dong responded, and then asked Hu Xiaorui: "The action is very fast, how much did it cost?"

"About 120 million..."

"Ahem..."

Li Dong almost choked to death, and after a while he was surprised: "A TV series cost so much money?"

He originally thought that a TV series with tens of millions would be enough, but who knew it would cost so much.

With so much money, is there still money to be made?

Hu Xiaorui said disapprovingly: "If you want to make a good-quality TV series, you will naturally have to spend more money. And this is the result of my saving and saving, or I will have to pay more."

"You...you are really willing to part with it. By the way, you spent so much money, but you didn't seem to ask me for it. Where did you get the money? Your own?"

Hu Xiaorui said indifferently: "Last time, I asked my dad for 100 million yuan, and my mother asked for 100 million yuan. In addition to the usual profit, it is almost enough. I will come to you when the money is not enough."

"The shares..."

"Li Dong, don't you bother me? I was just talking about happy things. I said I'll find you when I don't have any money."

Hu Xiaorui puffed up his mouth and said something, but Li Dong stopped talking about it immediately.

The two of them didn't take it seriously, but Yang Xin and the other employee next to them were speechless.

These two really don't treat money as money. Hundreds of millions of dollars are just for fun, and they haven't even re-divided the shares. Is it true that local tyrants do business like this?

At this time, Hu Xiaorui also thought that there were outsiders in the office, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first, and we'll talk about it later."

Yang Xin and the two hurried out of the office, and when they left, Hu Xiaorui walked up to Li Dong with a happy face and said, "Although it cost more than 100 million yuan, we can earn it back soon.

Do you know why I called you just now? "

Li Dong smiled and said: "Didn't you say that you are about to become a star, and a TV station has contacted you?"

Hu Xiaorui was a little annoyed when she heard it: "It seems to be oh, I just said it, really, I want to give you a surprise."

Li Dong started laughing, Hu Xiaorui puffed her mouth, and hummed, "But there's one thing you don't know. Guess how much the TV station will charge us?"

Li Dong shook his head and said: "I don't quite understand this, does the TV station pay for our TV series as a whole, or for one episode?

Also, is this an exclusive broadcasting right, or can it be sold to many companies together?

If you don't make it clear, how can I guess. "

Hu Xiaorui looked at Li Dong as if looking at the New World and said with a smile: "So there are things you don't know, I thought you knew everything!"

Li Dong was speechless, I am not a god, how can I know everything.

After making fun of Li Dong for a while, Hu Xiaorui finally explained: "If the first round of stars is on the show, it can be broadcast exclusively or broadcast together with several satellite TVs.

However, the cost of exclusive broadcasting is much higher, while the cost of several companies is relatively lower.

Moreover, satellite TV generally likes to broadcast it exclusively. Of course, this is because the TV station is optimistic about that TV series, otherwise the cost is too high, and they are not willing. "

Li Dong said clearly: "Then we are broadcasting exclusively?"

"Yeah." Hu Xiaorui said with a smile: "I asked the company to cut the master plate a little bit, and sent a sample to several TV stations, and they all liked it."

"Also, our "Scary Step by Step" can cut about 35 episodes in total, TV stations usually pay by the number of episodes, of course, sometimes there are TV stations that pay by one episode."

Seeing her smiling happily, Li Dong also laughed and said, "Then it looks like our income should be good this time, 5 million per episode?"

Hu Xiaorui's smiling face suddenly collapsed, and she puffed up and said, "How is it possible, how can it be so tall."

"The 4 million?"

"No."

Li Dong frowned and said, "3 million?"

"No."

Li Dong was completely speechless, he couldn't laugh or cry: "There is no episode of 3 million, so it's not a loss."

"Hee hee, I know you don't understand. This is only the first round of exclusive rights, and there will be two, three, and even more rounds, all of which will cost money. As long as the TV series becomes popular, all TV stations are willing to Buy our TV series.

Although the copyright fee for the first round is the highest, if it becomes popular later, it sometimes even exceeds the broadcast fee for the first round.

All in all, if you can get half of the production cost in the first round, it means you have earned it. "

"oh."

Li Dong nodded hastily, and the lines are like a mountain. It seems that the next time you don't understand something, it's better not to express your opinion randomly.
