Chapter 1683: The End of the Year (Part 2)

When it comes to the ability to remain anonymous on the Forbes list, Guo Tailai's flattery is no match for the Rockefellers. Now who knows how much money the Rockefeller family has?

Did the Rockefeller family really not have that much money? Standard Oil Company, Chase Bank, Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Center, University of Chicago, Rockefeller University, Museum of Modern Art, World Trade Center that collapsed in 911, and even the United Nations Headquarters are all inextricably linked to the Rockefeller family. Really believe that the Rockefeller family is not as rich as some Internet upstarts?

Of course, this is true in the Forbes rankings. The brothers of the Rockefeller family all rank in the more than one hundred with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars. It's not that rich and invincible, and life is very comfortable.

If Guo Tailai hadn't exchanged the copyright this time, then David would definitely give 500 million U.S. dollars in cash without any discount. This is the bottom line. A person with a net worth of only a billion dollars can easily take out 500 million U.S. dollars in cash at any time? Who believes it? But Lawrence did it last time, and Guo Tailai absolutely believed it.

"Simple." David smiled: "You will be behind us, I promise!"

"Thank you!" Guo Tailai said with a smile.

This time "God's Walk" is a bit big, with a global box office of 1.6 billion. Besides, the reason for making a movie with a loan is unreasonable, not to mention Marvel. The valuation of Artisan and Marvel must exceed 500 million US dollars. But it's okay, isn't it going to invest 500 million U.S. dollars in "Avatar" next? Continue to "loan" to reduce your net worth.

In the days that followed, Guo Tailai lived more and more leisurely. The clients' requirements were not high. At most, Guo Tailai spent half a day on nursing care every day. The rest of the time was almost spent in the studio.

Everyone knows that Guo Tailai is grinding the huge lens of the Large Magellan Telescope, and everyone thinks that Guo Tailai is grinding the lens of the Large Magellan Telescope, but it is not.

Now what Guo Tailai wants to build is a lithography machine, a domestic lithography machine. After such a long period of design and development, the domestic team has come up with a complete lithography machine design, just waiting for the ultra-high precision to be realized.

In addition to the first lithography machine, Guo Tailai also received one-on-one orders from Haige for two sets of ultra-high-precision optical polishing equipment and a higher-precision LODTM equipment.

Optical grinding equipment is a technology developed by Guo Tailai when he was grinding perfect silicon crystal balls, and the technology has also been authorized. However, although the equipment produced by the authorized manufacturers has reached the international advanced level, it cannot reach the level of Guo Tailai's handmade. precision.

These two ultra-high-precision grinding equipment are planned to be used to produce domestic lithography machine lenses in the future. Previously, Guo Tailai only agreed to produce and assemble one lithography machine. The subsequent production and assembly of lithography machines required domestic manufacturers to produce and assemble. It is impossible to rely on Guo Tailai’s hand-made for every machine. This is not Guo Tailai’s original intention. .

Industrial production cannot be achieved by hand alone, so Guo Tailai needs to produce equipment that can mass-produce spare parts for lithography machines. Of course, there is no way to assemble it. Even with the help of precision machinery, manual adjustments are always needed.

Guo Tailai can produce prototypes according to the design, and can give the most suitable assembly specifications, but he cannot let the domestic team learn the ability of high-precision production from him. However, with these sets of equipment, this kind of industrial configuration can be completed to a large extent, so that the domestic lithography machine can form a small but stable production capacity, and can support the design team to carry out follow-up technology research and development and Improve.

In Guo Tailai's peaceful production, everything else is going on in an orderly manner.

November was very calm, everything was safe and there was no fuss. In early December, Artisan Entertainment held an auction of shooting props for "God's Walk". In addition to the Agnelli and Chiron supercars, more than a dozen various luxury cars and off-road vehicles sold for an average high price of 800,000 US dollars. Even the two Warriors sold for 300,000 US dollars each, which is quite astonishing.

In the film, the Chiron driven by Chu Fei and the Agnelli supercar driven by Julie were auctioned for super high prices of 18 million US dollars and 20 million US dollars respectively. The reason why the price of Chiron is slightly lower is that the engine is not a ceramic version, but Agnelli is the latest limited edition ceramic engine. In terms of its technical content, the two-ton Chiron actually surpassed Agnelli's.

The other motorcycle watches and the like don’t have any surprising performances. They are quite satisfactory. They are not versions made by Guo Tailai himself. Basically, they are based on an average of 30% to 30% of the original price. The increase of eighty is no surprise.

Including Guo Tailai, what everyone is looking forward to the most is the M200 sniper rifle. According to James' introduction, except for Mr. T, no one can make ultra-high machining accuracy, ultra-high shooting accuracy, structural color painting, and "God's Walk" props.

Needless to say, the ultra-high processing accuracy, the ultra-high shooting accuracy was tested by the testers of the Cheyenne Tactical Company and the senior snipers of the two special forces of the SEAL and Delta before the auction. All three were full of praise. . Even the average shooting accuracy of the three people at the 2,000-meter target was within 0.5moa. This abnormal result made the designers and engineers of Xia'an Tactical Company shake their heads and smile bitterly. Although the M200 is their company's product, this kind of Even if the quality kills them, they can't do it.

However, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a sniper rifle, and the starting price of 30 million US dollars still discourages many people. Thirty million dollars can equip the troops with at least a thousand sniper rifles, and only buy one gun? Many media are not optimistic about the auction of this gun, thinking that the possibility of passing the auction is extremely high.

Guo Tailai thought that he wanted to collect his own gun, but in the final stage of the auction, hot news broke out. After fierce competition, this M200 was bought by a rich man, the famous madman Larry, at a price of 55 million US dollars, which caused an uproar in the world.

"This is unique in the whole world, isn't that enough?" When the reporter interviewed Madman Larry afterwards, Larry gave a confident reason. Of course, the crazy price is also very worthy of the nickname of the madman.

Basically, it was the last time Mr. T's no-show fame shined in 2004, and the days went quiet again.

"Boss!" At the end of the year, Guo Tailai was entertaining customers flocking for Christmas, and Annie called: "There may be a problem with the settlement of the box office share of "Shen Xing". Twentieth Century Fox has already paid all the share in advance. But Warner is still evading it, and has been evading it in the name of not having accurate financial data, and I am afraid that there will be big problems in the follow-up payment."
