Chapter 21: Call from uk
The voice of the discussion just now came from Charlize Theron. She was talking to a girl named Jenny in the store just now.
"Jenny, Charlize, what did you say about Yahoo? What about Yahoo?"
Zhuke asked immediately, the whole person still looking a little anxious.
"Boss, tap it, you hurt me."
Sai Huang was upset, because Zhu Ke, who was excited, accidentally scratched her arm just now.
"Sorry, sorry, please tell me more specifically." Zhu Ke apologized.
Soon, Zhu Ke got the general situation of Yahoo.
Yahoo will be listed on April 12th.
Fuck!
That's Yahoo!
Although Yahoo has been in a recession after 2005, it can be said that Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as one year. But before that, it was the world's largest Internet portal. In January 2000, its share price per share reached a maximum of $475, with a market value of over 100 billion.
However, what is its opening price?
Zhuke didn't know much about it before crossing, but vaguely remembered that it was more than twenty dollars. As long as you buy Yahoo's stock when it goes public, and then sell it in January 2000, you can get a profit of more than 20 times!
"Ding Ding Ding~~!"
At this moment, the store phone rang, and it was Zhuke.
"Boss, this is Victor, thank God I finally found you."
There was a voice on the phone.
"What's the matter? Is the release date of "Lola Run" set?"
Zuke wondered if Victor would call SpongeBob SquarePants House, but he still asked curiously.
As for why the call is made to the fixed phone in the store instead of the mobile phone? That's because Zhu Ke didn't buy a mobile phone. Today's mobile phones are "brick phones" instead of phones that can later be stuffed into his pockets.
"Boss, the release date has been fixed, but it is not the main reason."
"Oh? You keep talking."
"Boss, just now, I received a call from the UK. The other party is the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation. I intend to cooperate in the production and development of your "Teletubbies" global copyright."
Teletubbies?
"Fuck, what's the lack, the British guy is going to give me money!" Zhu Ke was very excited.
Although the content of "Teletubbies" is very young, and there is no "Peppy Pig" in the surroundings, it is a British national treasure series, which has profoundly affected a generation. Even in the hinterland of China at that time, Zhuke also watched it. Have been there more than once. Well, even if many people don't like Teletubbies, they cannot deny its existence and influence.
"Victor, so I will go to the company later and we will talk face to face."
Then Zhu Ke said a few more words and hung up the phone.
"Zuke, are you leaving?"
At this time, James leaned forward. He had watched Zhu Ke slouch before, but after a phone call, the whole person became excited, and he couldn't help being curious.
"Yes it is."
Zhuke responded and was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and turned around and said: "James, this morning is not busy, it is not a weekend, you go to the film company with me, I have something to discuss with you in detail."
"Okay, I will arrange it." James nodded.
Don't think that James is a **** pit. He has pitted Zhuke many times before, but he has also helped Zhuke many times. But since joining SpongeBob House, his work can be described as conscientious, and his whole person has changed a lot.
He needs this stable job.
After all, the mother and young sister who are paralyzed in bed at home need him to support them.
Family makes a man grow up!
"Oh, by the way, James, you took Charlize with me, and I have something to look for with her. Hey, I said, buddy, what do you look like? I don't have much interest in her, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago, you I know, she lacks paternal love and hopes to find an older boyfriend. I have a business to look for her." Zhu Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes.
...
soon.
Zhuke, James, and Charlize Theron drove to Wald Pictures.
After entering the office of CEO Victor, he simply greeted Victor first, and then talked to the Emperor.
"Charlize, are you planning to leave in a week? Are you sure?" Zhuke asked.
Sai Huang nodded: "Yes boss, you know, I am an actor after all. Working for you before was just a stopgap measure. Now my acting courses have all ended, and I have to sprint for my dream. Of course, I am also very grateful to the boss and everyone for their care during this time."
After hearing this, what can Zhu Ke say?
Could you persuade her to give up her Hollywood dream?
wake up, buddy, she is the emperor!
How many of the actresses who will be able to make a world of Hollywood in the future are fuel-efficient lamps? She has a clear goal for herself, it is not that Zhuke will make her give up by saying a few words, besides, Zhuke does not intend to force her to stay.
"Well, then I wish you a bright future in Hollywood."
"Thank you boss."
"Stop calling me boss, we are friends, we will call me Zhuke from now on."
"Zuke..."
"Yes, this is a friend."
In the next few minutes, Zhuke kept chatting with Charlize again, from home to work, including future plans, etc., and the atmosphere was very good.
But.
Talking and talking, I talked about endorsements!
"Charlize, I think your image is very suitable for SpongeBob SquarePants House. You can be our image spokesperson, right?"
That's right, this is Zhu Ke's purpose for looking for her. Talking and caring are all nonsense.
There is no advantage, it is a bastard.
Taking advantage of Charlize Theron is not yet popular, Zhuke plans to sign a long-term endorsement agreement, preferably the kind of lifelong. Of course, it's not just Charlize Theron. After waiting for a while, Zhuke plans to sign Xiao Li after he has the money. After all, when "Titanic" is released next year, he will become a global hit!
"Boss, you are really.... Are you sure I can be popular?"
Sai Huang was speechless at first, and then he was happy again. After all, she knew Zhu Ke's stingy attributes too much, and being able to let him spend money to sign the endorsement contract was also an affirmation of her.
"Of course, you are so beautiful, you will definitely be red!"
Then, Zhu Ke said a lot of good things without money, so the emperor Hu Sai confusedly signed an endorsement.
and also the endorsement of lifelong system.
Zhuke paid $100,000 for this in a lump sum. I have to say that this operation was extremely stunning, and it later brought Zhu Ke a rich return. Of course, liquidated damages are necessary, which is a full 20 million.
20 million in liquidated damages, almost didn't scare the emperor into a faint.
(Some people may say that this kind of contract is suspected of being illegal, but does Zhuke care? Isn't it just a lawsuit, just drag it for a few years.)
......
The second person to enter the office is Zucker’s old residence, James Sean.
"James, I have here a list of movies to be released in the near future~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You find lawyer Zhang Wei, go to various film companies, and be sure to sign a peripheral license contract within a certain period of time." Zhu Ke put a few A4 papers Pass it to James.
The voice fell, and James couldn't help being excited.
Why?
Zhuke asked him to deal with these things, obviously it is important to his plan!
"Zuke...Uh no, don't worry, boss, I will definitely get the peripheral license of the movie at the cheapest price in the shortest time." James solemnly said.
This list of movies looks like an ordinary list of movies.
1. Independence Day.
2. Tornado storm.
3. Professional spy team.
4. Bravely break into the island of death.
...
But.
If you look at this movie list again next year, you will find that the movies on this list are all the top 30 movies on the North American box office chart in 1996.
"Independence Day" was directed by Roland Emmerich and starred by Will Smith. It was released on July 3 and was produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It received US$50.22 million on the day of its premiere, breaking the first day box office in North America. On record, the total box office in North America reached 306 million U.S. dollars, which was the North American box office champion in 1996, and the global box office exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars;
"Tornado Storm" North American gross box office totaled 241 million US dollars;
"Professional Secret Service" has a total box office of 180 million US dollars in North America;
"Break into Death Island" has a total North American box office of 134 million U.S. dollars, and so on, Zhu Ke listed fifteen films in one fell swoop. Although Zhu Keji is not very clear about the specific box office rankings in 1996, he clearly knows that if he wins the peripheral licenses of these films now, he will definitely not lose money.
