Chapter 1128 Satellite launch and red mercury (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
The two people left the recording studio and came to Zhou Zheng's office.
The secretary walked in gracefully and made tea for the two of them.
Xu Chuan didn't tell Zhou Zheng much about the copyright law. He only revealed to Zhou Zheng that China Film Group would join in.
Zou Chaochun? Zhou Zheng was shocked.
Why does this big shot in the Chinese film and television industry want to wade into this muddy water?
Xu Chuan understood the other party's doubts, but did not explain anything. Zhou Zheng's eyes were just like this.
In a few years, it’s not certain whether Dingsheng will still exist.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, did you also vote for this movie?"
Xu Chuan asked knowingly, so of course Dingsheng also invested more than a dozen points.
He also wanted to change the subject.
"I have been spending money recently, if you are interested in taking over our share."
Zhou Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, you can make a price."
"One hundred million.", Xu Chuan replied.
Zhou Zheng almost choked. The total investment was 200 million. Fifteen points was equivalent to 30 million. Even if Xuanfa was included, it would not exceed 45 million.
When he opens his mouth, he gets 100 million. This money is so profitable.
Although Dingsheng's internal evaluation of this movie is very good, it also means that he will not make any money even if he takes over it.
"It's too high, I can't catch it."
Xu Chuan made a regretful expression, "Don't say that. Look at the market situation in the past few years. Costume blockbusters are very popular in the market now, and they are directed by Hollywood directors. The actors are also famous actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Huaying is doing it.”
"Now the audience recognizes this. In addition, the Lunar New Year market is getting bigger and bigger. Our theater chain's forecast this year is to exceed 7.5 billion, and there are not many that can hit it during the same period. I conservatively think that the box office of this movie will exceed 7.5 billion." 2 billion is definitely no problem.”
Xu Chuan's expression was serious, and he almost believed what he said.
"You will definitely not suffer any loss with this 100 million."
Hiss, what the other party said is basically the same as Dingsheng’s prediction, but 2 billion is still a bit too much.
This is understandable. If Xu Chuan wants to sell something, of course he has to overstate the benefits.
Zhou Zheng laughed and waved his hand, "How can there be so many? You are exaggerating."
Having said that, he actually agreed in his heart.
The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth raised slightly, but he said, "Then there is nothing we can do. If you are not interested, I will go back and ask Mr. Zou."
"Since you are so sure, why do you want to sell it? Even if you sell your 15% share for 100 million, the loss is actually not small."
Zhou Zheng asked doubtfully. In their eyes, if they didn't make all the money, it was a loss.
‘Of course it’s because the loss is certain. ’
Xu Chuan complained in his heart, but of course he couldn't say that.
"I recently had an acquisition project with America, which required a large amount of funds. Not only UC Media but also UC Technology had to allocate huge funds."
A real lie is 30% true and 70% false. Every sentence Xu Chuan said is true, but when combined together, it becomes a lie that no one can tell.
If Zhou Zheng really investigates, he will find that the transfer of funds is true.
Such a huge cash flow cannot be hidden from those who are interested.
Zhou Zheng looked at Xu Chuan. He could feel that what the other party said was true, but he still had some doubts about this matter.
If you invest 20 to 30 million, you will lose if you lose. But if you suddenly increase the investment to more than 100 million, unless the movie box office can really sell for 2 billion.
If you lose money, it will be a huge loss.
Of course, Xu Chuan would not let the other party decide immediately. After all, this was really a big investment for Dingsheng.
And Zhou Hao is also contacting other people. Who can enjoy the feast in the end depends on their luck.
Things went smoothly after that, and Xu Chuan successfully recorded two songs.
As for the movie share, just as he thought, after Zhou Hao made the news, at least four or five investors wanted to take over.
In the end, Dingsheng reached an agreement with another company and divided this share.
Xu Chuan also gave them a good discount, and everyone was happy.
As for whether anyone scolded him behind his back for having no vision, that was not something he needed to consider.
In the next two months, he and Gao Wen attended major award ceremonies non-stop, and of course they all gained.
And time slowly came to the end of 2013, and the two most important things this year unfolded one after another.
One is the new product launch conference of UC Technology, and the second is the two commercial communication satellites launched from the Wenchang Launch Center.
Hearing the countdown end and the rocket slowly rising from the launch site, Xu Chuan felt a little excited. This was the first time he saw a rocket launch at such a close distance.
It doesn't matter, wait until he rubs out his own empty forks and explodes one every month.
In any case, Birkhoff’s satellites have finally been completed, and two more will be completed in the second half of next year.
Umbrella's communication and data link problems in Africa and the Middle East have finally been partially solved.
This also means that Umbrella's theater command system can finally play its original role.
They can sit in the command center in Morocco and direct Libiya's drones to patrol, or they can let Nansudan's drones drop bombs on anyone's head.
It can also be networked with other rented satellites to extend the command link to other areas.
But after all, it is not your own equipment, so the risk of doing so is relatively high.
Umbrella's technical staff were jubilant, finally freeing themselves from a stretched data pipeline.
Then came the new product launch, when Xu Chuan took out the ultra-thin notebook from a brown paper bag. (A tribute to Steve Jobs)
This design with no optical drive and a thickness of less than 20mm instantly attracted everyone's attention. It includes an all-aluminum integrated body, a 13.3-inch display, a multi-touch trackpad, a keyboard with built-in backlight, and the most important solid-state drive.
It's almost a game-changer and makes this device look so **** cool.
Many traditional machine manufacturers have begun to cry wolf.
Of course, there is another detail that no one pays much attention to, which is that UC Technology has obtained its own mobile payment license.
They will be able to launch their own mobile payment function by the second half of next year at the latest.
After the press conference, Xu Chuan had a meeting with Xue Zhili.
The main topic is to separate the action camera business from UC Technology and then raise funds to list on Nasdaq.
This time it is not just to tease the investment banks, but to actually conduct an IPO.
"This market is too small. In a few years, there will be more and more devices of the same type, and they can still be sold at a good price."
He told Xue Zhili so, and the other party did not object.
Because judging from the development in the past two years, the shipment volume of action cameras has reached its peak. Xue Zhili's judgment is that the market is not that big at present, and the market will be weak sooner or later.
"We cannot give others such judgment. We must continue to brag and give those investment banks confidence."
This was what the two of them said behind closed doors, and no one else knew.
So when UC Technology got wind of the news, all the major investment banks and financing institutions on Wall Street began to swarm in.
Although they complained about UC Technology slipping away from them before, seeing the action camera business really start to divest this time, all institutions have given up their doubts.
In order to prevent something like the UC Technology financing from happening again, the valuations given by these institutions did not lower the price very much.
"My bottom line is $12.5 billion."
Xu Chuan wanted to take action as soon as possible, so he didn't bite off the amount too much.
After that, there will be a long negotiation process. Even if it is anxious, it cannot be seen by the other party, and UC Technology will also make its performance better during this period.
…
At the end of December, before Christmas, Xu Chuan went to New York.
The Buccaneers' record during this period is actually good, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.
This makes New York fans who have not tasted the playoffs for a long time very satisfied. Some people are already shouting for the Eastern Conference championship.
Xu Chuan could only think of ways to cool down these little black players. These people would no longer know who they were when their minds got hot.
Hey, I really want to drag this group of people to Lipia to visit the mummies standing in the cement piles on the roadside.
However, as a club, it cannot reach this point yet.
After that, Xu Chuan ran to Baltimore and met Nikita who was staying in the safe house here.
She did gain something from the oblique teaching she was looking for.
But that's not the focus now.
"That Frank Moses companion, Marvin Boggs, is dead."
Umbrella has been keeping an eye on Frank Moses and his companions.
After the incident with the Vice President, this old guy seemed to have lived a reclusive life with his little girlfriend.
But recently, his companion named Marvin was killed by a car bomb immediately after meeting him.
"I checked the latest intelligence, and a piece of news about red mercury bombs suddenly appeared on the Internet, but it was blocked not long after."
Nikita stood by the kitchen counter and made a cup of coffee for Xu Chuan.
This matter has turned the world upside down.
The red mercury bomb is simply a miniaturized nuclear weapon. This thing has always been just a legend.
But since the Sunset Red Agent Team already exists, it makes sense for such a thing to appear... right?
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes. He felt that this thing was a scam just like the DC8 at Equator.
"I checked the organization's information, and there is no record of this weapon."
Nikita handed the cup to Xu Chuan.
"By the way, no matter where you put this thing, it hasn't failed after decades?"
Xu Chuan took a sip of coffee and wanted to tell the other party that she should buy a coffee machine. Manual brewing was not suitable for her.
But thinking of the safe house that the three of them had smashed together, Xu Chuan still swallowed these words.
Nikita didn't seem to feel anything, but she felt that her craft was pretty good.
"Who knows?"
Nikita shrugged. She had no idea about this thing.
"But you'd better go to Moscow. Previous intelligence showed that the little thing is there."
Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows. This woman still cared about Xiao Ai.
But Maozi's capital is like a garbage dump, and everything can appear there.
I wonder if anyone went there to steal a nuclear suitcase and blow up the Kremlin at the same time.
Although Xu Chuan thinks that the so-called red mercury is a nonsense.
But now that the plot has emerged, he has to go to Moscow just in case.
Xu Chuan didn't want anything to happen to his little pet.
As for Frank Moses and his gang, they were much tougher than he thought.
