Chapter 373 Game
"You are a little impulsive."
After Notting left, Lu Pingan shook his head at Wattsberg.
Watzberg waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's just a game, I won't take it seriously."
Watzberg then explained the actual meaning of the bet.
In fact, it is a kind of gambling game in their family.
On the premise that the basic cooperation is not a big problem and the goals of both parties are the same, in financial activities, some initiative is transferred through games.
Although this looks like a small game, it is actually a display of ability.
To put it simply, it is like guessing the box office this time.
Who guesses correctly, luck is part of it, and more is the embodiment of the control of related businesses.
If you know more about the business and the market, you will naturally guess more accurately, and you will naturally have more say in the future.
Of course, this form cannot really be used as a way to decide on the alternation of power.
The specifics will depend on the actual business development in the future, and specific adjustments will be made according to the specific situation.
But as a small game, it is indeed quite interesting.
"The chaebol family is different."
Lu Pingan couldn't help but sigh.
This is indeed the first time he has seen this kind of gameplay with his own eyes.
Then he asked: "So you have been getting along with me in this way for all these years?"
"That's not true. I really didn't care about you before. Who would have thought you could be so powerful."
"So you are the biggest loser in your family."
"You can't say that."
Watz adjusted the collar of his suit and looked proud. "Now, I am also the top person."
"That means you have made achievements and have been truly recognized by the family from now on?"
"Of course."
"How much money do you have to make to be considered an achievement?"
"About 1 billion US dollars."
"You have 1 billion?"
"Isn't our peak now at least 1 billion?"
"Okay, so now it is just passing?"
"Passing is very good. If you can keep the momentum in the future, your wealth will increase very quickly."
Watz then talked about some future prospects.
In fact, it is some resources that new shareholders can bring after financing.
The other party's advantages are quite good. In the film and television drama or media industry, it has distribution, TV network and other channels and shares, as well as newspapers, fashion magazines and other shares, and even some luxury brands in Europe.
With this advantage, investing in any film production company or agency can actually bring great help to the other party.
Of course, film production is not another industry, it still depends on content.
And Summit is currently ranked the highest among all American independent film companies in terms of content and profit margin.
In actual calculation, Summit's performance in recent years is simply terrifying.
Such a company seems to have not encountered any external pressure in the past few years. In fact, it is the family behind Watts.
It can be said that this time is also a "net-closing operation".
After the financing is completed, Summit will have hundreds of millions of funds, including the existing cash, and the total amount of money is not a small amount.
This money can be used to produce new film and television dramas, or acquire some other industries, and then if the momentum is maintained, there can be one or two more rounds of financing in the future.
If it can be successfully listed, combined with Nottingham's advantages, it can be considered to be among the "Big Six".
From a common perspective, in a free and fair market, this is the most common way for all companies to grow from small to large.
As long as you do your job well, you can become a big boss in the industry.
But you have to know that this is an ideal state after all.
There are classes in every region of the world.
For example, in China, no matter how awesome you are, can you become the fourth communications company besides China Mobile, China Unicom and China Mobile?
It's the same in the United States. No matter how rich you are, your background determines many things that you can't squeeze into in your life.
Why can't other independent production companies replace the Big Six?
The Big Six, or the previous Big Eight, can only merge with each other, and can never be replaced by lower-level ones.
There is a reason.
So at the moment, the consortium represented by Nottingham came in, which actually opened a door to the top.
Whether you can completely open this door depends on your ability next.
If he does well, he may even be able to become one of the top six in the future.
If it were someone else, this "door" might not be found.
It sounds very tempting.
But Lu Ping'an is relatively calm.
Although Lu Ping'an can theoretically eat this cake with his own advantages.
But theory is theory.
He himself is not white, which actually determines his upper limit in the United States.
So it is almost certain that in the future, as Dingfeng becomes bigger and bigger, as a Chinese, he will definitely encounter some unfair treatment both inside and outside.
Even if not, this plan should be made.
After all, it is a squid, so you still have to keep a hand for such people.
Of course, this will be at least a few years later, and it is not a big problem for this financing.
After this financing, he can get about 100 million or 200 million yuan.
This money can be used to build a business in the mainland.
In the future, he will have roots in the country again.
Also, he did keep a hand.
At present, Dingfeng's financing does not include the IP that Lu Ping'an fully owns.
Among them, the biggest ones are "Iron Man" and "Batman".
There is also "Inception" which was bought from Nolan before.
With these alone, a lot of money can be made in the future.
Although the rest of the horror film series and other projects shared by Summit seem to be numerous and highly profitable, in general, the actual future income is not much more than those two superhero IPs.
Let's talk about the future later. The most important thing next is to play this game well and strive to make sure that Lu Ping'an can still have the final say in Summit in the next few years.
. . . . . . . .
Time enters March.
The heat of the Oscars in North America is gradually fading.
It is replaced by "Horror Month".
There are many horror movies in March this year.
Movies from various small production companies are emerging in an endless stream.
There are also movies from famous directors and stars joining the battlefield.
The most popular one is the horror movie "Grindhouse" co-directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, starring Kurt Russell, Rose McGowan and others.
Jim Carrey's "The Number 23".
Nicolas Cage's "Ghost Rider".
And "1408" adapted from Stephen King's novel, etc.
In addition to these, there are other themes of movies that are also squeezing the box office.
For example, Disney's "Red Dead Redemption" and Eddie Murphy's "My Wife is a Big Mac".
Of course, since March has been defined as the horror month by the majority of American movie fans and the media, the most popular ones are naturally the series from the horror king Lu Ping An.
