Chapter 1413 Spending Money Is Also Technical Work (Part 2)
I discussed buying Marvel with MJ before, but because of the 911 and NASDAQ crashes, MJ lost a lot of money. It happened that Spider-Man was a big success at the box office, although Marvel itself only got a fixed percentage. Not too much, but it also gave Marvel's executives a false sense of prosperity, thinking that their comic characters and images can make a lot of money and will not be sold easily.
At that time, MJ and Mr. Li didn't have enough funds, but now Guo Tailai has a large amount of funds in his hands, so it's no problem to buy directly. But if he comes forward, he will definitely be opened up by the lion, so if he pulls MJ and Mr. Li, with Mr. Li, the father of Marvel, as a traitor, those guys can't fool him.
Guo Tailai holds grudges very much. The last time I designed my own hotel, I wanted to use the image of the Stark Industries Building, but when Lin Jiayi went to Marvel to inquire about the authorization, those guys actually offered a licensing fee of 25 million U.S. dollars. Take advantage of. The copyrights of a lot of anime characters they sold have never been so expensive, which is clearly discrimination.
This time, Guo Tailai intends to buy the entire Marvel. At that time, it depends on whether Guo Tailai is willing to use their image for free, so you will be embarrassed back then!
"Ha, G, after you said it last time, we discussed this matter seriously." MJ couldn't help being happy when he heard Guo Tailai talking about Marvel again. It happened to be daytime on his side: " We are me and Mr. Li."
"Hmm!" Guo Tailai responded, "What's your opinion?"
"Now is not the best time to acquire Marvel." MJ quickly replied: "They are still looking forward to the box office of "Hulk" released this year, and the expectations are very high. Although their operating conditions are not good, but They are still gnashing their teeth. Didn’t you tell Artisan Entertainment to cancel the preparation of "The Punisher"? Let’s wait for a while and wait until they can’t hold on. You know, they have tens of millions The loan has to be repaid.”
If MJ gave up the acquisition of Marvel due to financial problems before, then with Guo Tailai joining, he has never worried about this problem again. The current MJ and the MJ situation in the future dream are completely different, full of confidence, and once again determined to acquire Marvel. However, he and Mr. Li have also analyzed it for a long time, waiting for the best opportunity. Although Guo Tailai has money in his hands, he will not be taken advantage of again.
"Okay!" Guo Tailai knew that MJ had been planning for a long time, so he didn't say anything more: "When you think it's the right time, no matter how much money you are short of, I will make up for the rest."
"Ha, G, just wait and enjoy the process of the fish entering the net bit by bit!" MJ smiled happily and hung up Guo Tailai's call.
The reason why Artisan Entertainment is not allowed to acquire is that Guo Tailai also considers not eating alone, and not putting all eggs in one basket. After all, if you want to buy, if you add more funds yourself, I am afraid that it will dilute the shares of Annie and James, which may make them feel bad, and the loan will also make them feel a sense of crisis. Let's keep the status quo first!
MJ and Mr. Li obviously have a plan, so Guo Tailai just waits slowly. However, Guo Tailai later discovered that he might still have a large amount of money on his books. Even if the newly established investment company and the cost of launching satellites were excluded, there would probably be a lot left over. Could he buy some Microsoft shares this year? Or invest in Buffett's stock?
Suddenly, Guo Tailai realized that he had a headache on how to spend the money. buy a house? There are enough houses of one's own, and there are all over the world. buy a car? The most expensive and best-performing cars in the world are now made by ourselves. Buy clothes to wear? The various brands carefully selected by Lafayette Anna Versace and Chu Fei’s design don’t need to worry about Guo Tailai at all. The most suitable and comfortable clothes will be the same every day, and you don’t even have to think about underwear, panties and socks. buy food? All kinds of top ingredients and top chefs can talk about what they want to eat. Buy luxury goods? It seems that the covers of the TV remote control on my coffee table are all from LV. Famous watch? Can it be more expensive than a watch made by yourself?
Forget it, let's leave the investment to Lin Jiayi. After all, I'm not a professional. However, there is an industry that can really be considered, and I am playing the idea of Marvel, so the country can't favor one another, or find a suitable time to invest in a film and television company!
After sleeping all night, Guo Tailai got up in the morning and had breakfast prepared by his mother in the room. At about ten o'clock, Guo Tailai called Mr. Li of Precision Machinery.
"Uncle Li, Happy Chinese New Year!" Guo Tailai once again paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Li. Guo Tailai had already paid his respects on New Year's Eve, and he came again today. No wonder there are so many people!
"Fatty, it's New Year's Eve, you have something to do with me?" Mr. Li, whoever is calling at this time, Guo Tailai, must have something to do.
"Uncle, I would like to ask, how much will it cost to launch three to four synchronous communication satellites for me in China?" Guo Tailai didn't hold back, and directly stated his needs.
Plop, jingle, Guo Tailai heard a messy sound coming from the phone, as if the phone dropped to the ground and was picked up again. It seems that the quality of the call is good, but it hasn't been hung up until now. Mr. Li can still hear clearly the coughing sound of choking on something.
"What did you just say?" Mr. Li finally picked up the phone and asked Guo Tailai.
"I just want to launch a few synchronous communication satellites." Mr. Li's reaction just now was so great that Guo Tailai also asked cautiously: "Uncle, is it not allowed by private companies or individuals? If not, I will find a foreign launch site. "
"Who said it's not allowed? Who said it's not allowed?" Mr. Li's voice became louder, and he roared at Guo Tailai: "Others can't do it, but you can't do it? How many do you want to launch and what are they used for?"
"It's communication satellites, with high bandwidth, Internet access, encrypted communication, and the kind that can cover the whole world." Guo Tailai quickly stated his request: "Theoretically, three satellites are enough, but if you are afraid that it will not be safe, you can add one more." also."
"Did you design the satellite yourself, or do satellites also need to be designed and manufactured?" Mr. Li asked again.
"I don't have the ability to design satellites now. It would be best if you can take care of the design and manufacture here." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Isn't there a word called procurement on-orbit delivery? I will pay for it and hand it over to The kind I can do. Most of the time, I can help with the handle and ensure higher precision.”
"You wait, I'll help you with specific inquiries." Without further ado, Mr. Li told Guo Tailai: "Wait! Don't think about finding any foreign launch sites, the country will definitely handle it properly for you. .Wait!"
Three to four geosynchronous communication satellites, including design, manufacture and launch, is definitely a big order!
