Chapter 54 Purchase Copyright
Mukenan decided to win the distribution rights, especially when such an excellent anime has not yet made a big splash, and it is the best time to buy it when its value is still at a low point. If others also see this anime, the price will probably rise. He may not be able to afford it at that time, and this opportunity is too rare.
"I am now very sincere in making a request for cooperation. Since your company has made hundreds of episodes, I need a preview of the first 100 episodes of these two works. If the subsequent series still maintain the quality of the first 4 episodes, I am willing to invest 10 million US dollars to purchase the videotape distribution rights of your two works in Asia, the right to broadcast the TV station, the right to distribute comics, and the right to sell the animation around the world." Mukenan offered a very high price.
But Lin Ping couldn't help but sneer at this price.
"You are not buying the distribution right, you are buying all copyrights in the entire Asian region. And there is no specified period of time. The works we have worked hard to create are purchased by you at a fair price. The production cost of each episode of our two works is as high as 10,000 US dollars. If you watch animations all year round, you should understand what the price of making an animation in this industry is.
The production cost of these two works will exceed more than 10 million US dollars. If you sincerely want to cooperate, I will consider this price of US$20 million plus 50% of the shares, but the Asian copyright will only be sold to you for 10 years. I suggest you consider it and give you one night to read the first 20 episodes of these two works carefully. I called today without any reward because Neon Country is already off work time. I guess if anyone will be on the working day tomorrow.
Are you willing to talk to us in detail? Once the partners of Neon Country see these two works, we are willing to try even if the prices they offer are lower than you. After all, as long as there is a TV station that is willing to broadcast them, I believe the value of these two works will be recognized by the whole world. I believe that just selling the works, you can earn 20 million US dollars in two years." Lin Ping spoke very tough and directly asked for a high price of 20 million US dollars. This is almost all the financing that Mukenan can provide.
"..." Muknan didn't expect that the other party's price was several times higher than he expected. Lin Ping not only wanted money but also shares.
As a professional, he knows that the production cost of animation has never been cheap. After all, every frame of the picture is drawn by hand.
"You are right. I should finish watching these two works first! I will arrange a room for you tonight, so you can stay here tonight. I will give you the exact news tomorrow morning." After Muknan said that, he ignored Lin Ping and focused on watching "Naruto". This time his eyes were no longer curiosity, but carefully savoring to see if this "Naruto" and "Dragon Ball" deserve the value of US$20 million.
However, at this moment, the sound of the car engine sounded outside.
Not long after, Muknan's father, stepmother and two sons walked in.
"Xiao Nan, who is this?" Mu Kenan's father Mu Yunfei looked at the handsome young man in the room and asked his son.
"Mr. Lin, our law firm client. Mu Yunfei, my father!" Mu Kenan introduced to the two without raising his head. But Mu Kenan did not introduce others to Lin Ping.
"Ma Zhang, prepare a few more dishes. There are guests at home today. By the way, can Mr. Lin have a drink?Ma Zhang, open another bottle of good wine." This is the first time Mu Yunfei saw his son bringing someone home. Although he is not a girlfriend, it is still worth celebrating.
"Sorry, I'm disturbing everyone." Lin Ping thanked politely.
"Don't bother, don't bother, you are the first friend of our Xiaonan to take home. If you have time in the future, come and sit there." Mu Yunfei seemed to be in a good mood.
The servant quickly arranged the dining table and greeted the master and wife for dinner.
Soon everyone sat down at the dining table, and Lin Ping sat next to Mukennan.
"Xiaonan, how did you do in a law firm? My father's legal agency contract is about to expire. A few days later, my father plans to transfer this contract to the San Musketeer Law Firm where you work. How about you be responsible for the company's legal affairs in the future?" Mu Yunfei asked about his son's work during the meal.
But before Mu Kenan could speak, Mu Yunfei's current wife Bao Fang immediately responded: "Xiao Nan just got a lawyer's license. Now he should have more experience. Taking such a big contract rashly will probably only cause the phenomenon of pulling seedlings to grow." When Bao Fang said this, he secretly looked at Mu Kenan's facial expression with the corners of his eyes.
After Bao Fang said this, his two sons immediately spoke: "I also think that my brother's current ability is not enough to take on the legal affairs of a listed company. If something goes wrong in the future, who will be responsible for the losses? After all, our company is all import trade. Any mistake in any order will be a huge loss of millions of dollars."
"I believe my elder brother will definitely be a good lawyer in the future, but he still needs to grow now." Another son also spoke.
Mukenan couldn't help but snort coldly as he heard the words of the mother and son.
"Don't worry, I won't be a legal officer in the company." Muknan didn't say much, just lowered his head to eat his own meal.
The mother and son smiled satisfied when they heard Mu Kenan's words, and even their stepmother Bao Fang took the initiative to pick up food for him.
But when Mu Yunfei saw this scene, he could only sigh helplessly.
These three sons are all born to him, and for him, they are the palms and backs of his hands. But for the three brothers, they may only be enemies to compete for family property. Thinking of the changes in his son over the years, Mu Yunfei understood that this had a direct relationship with his stepmother. But now he really has no way to solve it.
The meal was polite, but after eating quickly, Muknan took the video back to his room.
While going upstairs, Muknan said to his father: "My friend will live at home tonight." After that, he took Lin Ping upstairs. He didn't care whether his parents agreed or not, there were enough rooms at home.
Muknan did not rest that night, but spent a night watching two works.
When Muknan saw the 19th episode of "Naruto" at night, he was so moved that he almost cried.
"If you don't kill me, Bai..." Muknan remembered these two characters.
However, it was these two roles that made Mukenan decide to invest.
The height of these two characters is completely different from the cartoons that are specially for children in this era. These two characters are more like live-action TV series or movie characters.
But anime like Naruto may not be made into movies or TV series. Just a multi-shadow clone technique is enough to make the investors in the movie numb.
When he woke up the next morning, Lin Ping looked at the bay in the distance and stretched his waist.
"A mansion is comfortable!" Lin Ping has only lived in such a beach villa once, and it was during the company's team-building tour.
"Bump..." A knock on the door came from the door.
