Hello 1983

  Chapter 866 This is the best publicity (ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)

  Heart to Heart Art Troupe finally finished their performance in London.

  Because of the success of the performance, more and more invitations were received, and even the Golden Hall in Vienna sent invitations grandly.

  Liu Qingshan discussed with Gao Lingfeng and others. Of course, the tour will continue. On the one hand, there is a huge income. On the other hand, how can such a good opportunity for publicity be missed?

  However, Liu Qingshan does not need to continue to accompany the team. The United States called and asked him to attend the court hearing.

   In addition, there are many things that need to be dealt with.

  The art troupe has gained fame and everyone has adapted, so even if there is no Liu Qingshan to lead the team, there will be no problem.

   What's more, the fourth and fifth children also have to go back to China, and the two girls have been out for almost a month.

   There is no need for Liu Qingshan to send them off personally. In fact, as long as they are sent to the plane, the two girls can go back to the capital by themselves.

  However, Gao Lingfeng still sent a staff member from the art troupe to **** him. Besides the fourth and fifth children, there was also Xiao Jinzi.

   "Miss, don't forget to go back to Jiapigou during the Chinese New Year!" The little brother kept telling Zheng Xiaoxiao before boarding the plane.

  Zheng Xiaoxiao also agreed with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan sent his sister away, and flew to the United States alone.

  The affairs on the European side have also been properly arranged, and Lu Fang is asked to wait for Uncle Lu here, and then together they will transport the purchased antiques back to China.

  In the future, Lu Fang will lead a few people to stay here in Europe to be responsible for this matter.

  With the help of the broker Boban, and the help of Victor and others, it should be able to gain a foothold.

  Not to mention anything else, just a chicken bowl cup and a large blue and white pot from Guigu Xiashan are enough to make Liu Qingshan laugh out loud in his dreams.

   As for the Notts County club, Liu Qingshan doesn't have to worry about it anymore. With the current lineup, it is definitely no problem to be promoted to the top league.

   Even in the FA Cup, there is a fight.

   Bigger moves, wait until after the upgrade next year.

  In short, Liu Qingshan is very satisfied with this trip to Europa:

  Jade Bird mobile phone took off with the help of the World Cup, and its sales exceeded one million. It is just around the corner. At present, it seems that it is only a matter of time.

  Although I spent some money on buying antiques and football teams, I made up for the losses here, and basically got them back from the spinach companies.

   To him, it is basically tantamount to picking it up for nothing.

  Another major event was to solve Zheng Xiaoxiao's matter, and Liu Qingshan became more calm in his heart.

   After a long sleep on the plane, he arrived at the station. The first stop was not Los Angeles, which he was familiar with, but the Big Apple City.

  Because Wu Tong is here, Liu Qingshan wants to join them first.

   Coming out of the airport, Liu Qingshan saw Wu Tong standing pretty and tall in the crowd. He strode up and gave him a big hug.

   This time, there is no distraction, a couple for life.

  Wu Tong also clearly felt the change in Liu Qingshan, and infinite sweetness surged in his heart.

  Of course she knew that Liu Qingshan would definitely meet Zheng Xiaoxiao during his trip to England.

   Now it seems that the problem has been solved.

   "Hey, boss, let's go to the city first?"

   Lu Liang's voice came from next to him. This big man has no eyesight at all.

  Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder: "Liangzi, you pack up and go back to Europe in two days, and work with Lu Fang there from now on."

  Then Liu Qingshan greeted Qian Yuzhen and Hong Yunsheng who came to meet the plane: "Sister Yuzhen, brother Hong, I wanted to bring the fourth and fifth, but they are about to start school."

  Although Qian Yuzhen was a little disappointed, she said: "When the Chinese New Year comes, I will see you naturally."

   Several people got into a commercial vehicle, Hong Yunsheng drove, and Lu Liang didn't have a driver's license here, so he could only watch.

   Along the way, Qian Yuzhen reported the situation of the investment group to Liu Qingshan.

  As Liu Qingshan withdraws a large amount of working capital, Qian Yuzhen only has more than 100 million US dollars in cash on hand, and the rest are some stocks for long-term investment.

  Qian Yuzhen's investment company has a good income, about 30% of the annual income.

  Among the investment firms on Wall Street, this is already considered the top handful.

  You must know that some financiers, even if it is 10% of the profit, are actually playing a Ponzi scheme.

   That's right, ten percent profit.

   This has also led to the fact that many customers hope to hand over their spare money to this magical oriental hand, so as to achieve the goal of making money with money.

  However, Qian Yuzhen has always adhered to the principles set by Liu Qingshan, and will never do business like an investment manager.

   It is better to just invest in one or two stocks with potential for receiving that pitiful commission.

   "Sanfeng, when will more funds flow back?"

  Qian Yuzhen used to manipulate billions of dollars, but now there is only 100 million in liquidity, which is not fun.

  Liu Qingshan also smiled apologetically: "Sister Yuzhen, it should be soon, the matter of getting the Jade Bird mobile phone is settled, and the invested funds can be slowly returned."

  Last year, Liu Qingshan mobilized a large amount of funds, mainly for the acquisition of physical factories and enterprises, and nearly half of them were for the services of Jade Bird Mobile.

  Now the sales of Jade Bird mobile phones are very optimistic, and the return of funds is still very fast.

  Qian Yuzhen's investment company is very important to Liu Qingshan, and it's not just about profitability.

   More importantly, Liu Qingshan must have a large amount of liquidity in order to deal with some emergencies, or make some angel investments in China.

   Just like the later major domestic Internet companies, the capital behind them is all foreign investors. The fundamental reason is that no one in China was willing to invest at that time?

  Of course, if the investment comes from Wall Street, it is also more convenient to go public on NASDAQ for financing.

  Qian Yuzhen smiled and nodded after hearing this, and then stopped talking.

  She is someone who has experienced it, so of course she can see that the young couple Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong must have endless things to say.

  After not seeing the car, they just kept holding hands.

   "Tongtong, how is your contact going?" Sure enough, Liu Qingshan turned to Wu Tong.

  Wu Tong was held by his sweetheart, a little shy, but also full of anticipation, and his heart was filled with deep happiness.

  Hearing Liu Qingshan's question, she immediately entered the working state, and said excitedly:

   "Sanfeng, we have reached a preliminary agreement with Disney. Guess how much the Lion King animation sold for?"

  Looking at Wu Tong's face, which flushed slightly because of excitement, it looked so cute, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to tease her: "One hundred thousand dollars?"

   "That's too little!" Wu Tong gave Liu Qingshan a coquettish look, "Let me tell you, a total of 50 episodes of cartoons sold for 2 million dollars!"

  Two million is quite a lot at the moment, and it is definitely the highest price for domestic animation.

  Liu Qingshan remembers that the later cartoon Journey to the West sold for one hundred thousand US dollars per episode, which was many years later, and the US dollar also depreciated sharply.

  Of course, if you want to say the highest achievement of domestic animation, it must be "Havoc in Heaven" in the 1960s.

  Even if you watch it decades later, it’s still a classic, and even foreigners are shocked and exclaimed, “It’s a cake”.

   It is a pity that this kind of inheritance has not been continued.

   Fortunately, Liu Qingshan took over the baton in the hands of his predecessors in due course, and finally pushed Huaxia animation to the world again.

  As a creator, Wu Tong's excitement can be imagined: "Sanfeng, it could have been sold for five million dollars, but Disney wanted to buy out the copyright, and I didn't agree."

  Liu Qingshan caressed Wu Tong's beautiful hair, very pleased: "It's fine if you don't agree, the foreigner wants to take advantage of it."

  Wu Tong has also conducted similar business negotiations in the island country. Of course, he knows the importance of copyright, so he will not be foolishly greedy for small things and lose big things.

   You know, it is common for a popular cartoon to shoot hundreds of episodes or thousands of episodes.

  If you really sell the copyright to Disney for five million dollars, they can create at least a few hundred million profits, and you will regret it by then.

   "Sanfeng, Tongtong was very good at negotiating." Qian Yuzhen only interjected at this time.

  Of course she was worried about Wu Tong, so she participated in the whole process of the negotiation, and saw that Wu Tong, a usually quiet girl, seemed to be a different person at the negotiation table, making those foreigners lose their temper.

  Wu Tong was a little embarrassed by sister Yuzhen's praise, and quickly continued:

   "Sanfeng, Disney wants to buy the movie copyright of The Lion King alone, and the bid is one million dollars. Can this be sold?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head. In his memory, in 1994, the global box office of the animated film The Lion King was nearly one billion US dollars.

   Not counting other income, spending a million dollars just to get a bargain, how about your American dream?

  Wu Tong heard this, and felt a little regretful in his heart: If he could sign a contract with a total value of three million US dollars, then the animation department of Dashuxia Company would definitely be a hit.

   But, the current two million seems to be pretty good.

   Then she heard Liu Qingshan's voice coming again: "After we take over Columbia Pictures, we will jointly make this cartoon into an animated movie. Of course, we can't make it for others."

   Wu Tong was excited again, full of confidence in the future.

  The car drove into the urban area, arrived at the hotel where I lived, got out of the car, and was about to enter the hotel when someone greeted me head-on, and greeted me very politely:

   "Miss Wu, sorry to bother you, we are from Nickelodeon AnimationStudio, I'm Nero, the business director of the company, and I want to talk to you about purchasing The Lion King."

   Nickelodeon Animation Studios?

  Wu Tong blinked her eyes. The name sounded a little strange. In her memory, there didn't seem to be this animation studio.

   But Liu Qingshan knows that this is also a famous animation company that can be ranked in the top ten later. The name sounds a bit unfamiliar, but it should be more familiar with the works it represents:

   "Wow, I'm Cube, I'm Cube, I'm SpongeBob SquarePants."

   That’s right, the later SpongeBob SquarePants was produced by this company.

   "Miss Wu, our company is a new company just established this year." This Mr. Nero obviously saw Wu Tong's doubts, so he explained again.

  Although Wu Tong has never heard of this company, it is of course a good thing to start to have business, so he nodded: "Mr. Nero, nice to meet you, shall we go in and talk?"

   After speaking, he pulled Liu Qingshan's hand again: "Let me introduce, this is the president of our company, Mr. Liu Qingshan."

  Nile's eyes lit up immediately: "Mr. Mountain, I have known you for a long time."

  Liu Qingshan's popularity here is much higher than in Europe. Even if you don't know him, you must have heard of this name.

  Liu Qingshan also shook hands with the other party, and then entered the hotel together. He gave the salute to the members of Wu Tong's team, and then entered a small reception room together.

  After being seated, he served coffee, and Nero exchanged a few words before entering the topic:

   "Mr. Mountain, Ms. Wu, our company has heard that Disney is planning to purchase the cartoon The Lion King for two million dollars. Is this true?"

  Wu Tong nodded lightly. In fact, she was the one who released the news. At the screening, many animation companies were invited.

  The purpose is simple: to introduce competitors so as to increase the price.

  In the end, Disney had the highest price, so Wu Tong was more inclined to cooperate with them.

  Nile shook his head: "Disney is a big bully. Such a high-quality copyright is only willing to take two million. It's too petty!"

  The peers are enemies, and it is only natural for him to belittle Disney, so Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong just watched each other's performance with a smile.

  Finally, Wu Tong couldn't help but interjected: "Then Mr. Nero, what price can your company offer?"

   "Oh, of course our company won't be as stingy as Disney. I think that for such an excellent cartoon, the best choice is to share." Nero said boldly.

  Wu Tong glanced at Liu Qingshan, and the two of them nodded slightly together: This one came from a white wolf with empty gloves.

   To put it bluntly, they are responsible for promotion and then share the money.

  But with the reputation of The Lion King, do you still need help to promote it?

  Obviously not needed. The musical "The Lion King" on Broadway is now hard to find a ticket, and it has become a more popular work than Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.

   This is publicity at its best.

  That's why Disney spent two million dollars to buy this cartoon. Do you really think that two million dollars is very little nowadays?

   Presumably this company was newly established and wanted to use the Lion King to make a name for itself, so I came to see if I could get a bargain.

   Wu Tong, of course, politely declined this approach.

  Mr. Nero couldn't help being a little embarrassed. In fact, when he heard that Mountain was here, he guessed that there must be no play.

  Maybe he can fool people who have just arrived here and are not familiar with the situation, but he certainly cannot hide it from Liu Qingshan.

  Since he failed, he didn't want to continue to stay so shamelessly, so he got up and left.

  But at this time, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Mr. Nero, although we can't cooperate on the cartoon of The Lion King, we can still cooperate in other aspects."

  Since this company came to him, of course Liu Qingshan wanted to sell SpongeBob SquarePants to the other party in advance.

   In the end, who is fooling whom?
