Li Qing replied: "I don't know much about this situation at the moment. There are many things in the company that don't necessarily require my personal intervention."
Although it was the opening ceremony of Boyu's class, given Li Qing's special status, the instructors did not interfere too much with several personal questions raised by reporters, but they also limited the question to the third one.
Therefore, the quota for this last question was extremely precious and was finally given to the Hong Kong Oriental Daily.
"When will the fourth part of "Harry Potter" be released? Have the film rights for the first, second and third parts of "Harry Potter" been sold? As far as I know, many Hollywood film groups are now interested in
They are particularly interested in the movie rights of "Harry Potter" and they are willing to buy it at a high price. Note that the high price even exceeds 30 million US dollars!"
Thirty million US dollars...
The whole audience was suffocated.
Thirty million US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is more than 200 million...
How much is a movie copyright worth?
The students at the scene were all shocked. It was the first time they knew that Hollywood was so crazy, and it was also the first time they knew that "Harry Potter" was so popular in Europe and the United States!
"The fourth part of "Harry Potter" is almost finished, and the release date is to be determined."
Li Qing said: "As for the movie rights you mentioned that are worth 30 million US dollars, I have not received this quotation yet. The quotation you mentioned is for the three movies added together!"
"It's all three together." The reporter nodded.
Li Qing smiled: "I know, the price is pretty good. I've noticed it before. What I want to say is that I will not waver in my expectations for this novel after it is made into a movie because of the price. I
The film production company you choose must have strong production capabilities. If it’s just special effects for 50 cents, then I can do it myself.”
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Everyone could tell that this film company that quoted 30 million US dollars was obviously just interested in the fame of "Harry Potter", and its own film production capabilities were simply not good enough to attract the attention of the vast sea.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that a good movie adaptation can bring huge fame and fortune to the original novel. If the movie is only supported by the popularity of the novel, then such a movie will never go far.
If you make 30 million now, what will happen in the future? People can't just look at the present.
When the opening ceremony of Boyu's class was coming to an end, the lecturers in the class appeared one by one.
There are four permanent lecturers in total, two are retired tutors from Harvard and Cambridge Business Schools, and are American and British nationals. One was once a front-line investment analyst at SoftBank Group in Japan, and the other is an economics and econometrics professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
current professor.
In addition to these four fixed lecturers, Boyu Class also has many honorary lecturers, most of whom are from the Association of Southeast Asian Universities and the World University Alliance. The most famous among them is the richest man in Hong Kong, Zhuang Juxian, but the richest man is only in name.
However, it is still unknown whether Boyu will have time to give lectures before graduation.
After the opening ceremony, the students present were assigned to dormitories one by one, namely United College, one of the nine colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. However, none of the students present had a net worth of tens of millions and had high-end properties outside, so they were arranged to stay in dormitories.
It is only in symbolic form.
But the end does not mean leaving. The students communicated with each other in various languages such as Chinese, English, French, and Japanese in the auditorium, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Li Qing was thinking about finding an opportunity to visit his eldest cousin Tang Tang, a middle-aged man with a slicked back hair, a mustache, and a British suit approached him. He handed the business card to Li Qing with both hands.
: "Hello, Director Li."
Li Qing took the business card, looked down and saw that it said Lang Runzhu, Vice President of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region, so he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Lang, nice to meet you."
"What the hell." Lang Runzhu chuckled: "Does Mr. Li have time in the evening? Let's have a meal together?"
"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight." Li Qing said helplessly.
Lang Runzhu smiled broadly: "That will work some other time. We are all classmates in the same class now. You can contact me anytime you have time. Our president Michelle has some ideas about investing in the mainland. We can try to cooperate."
Watching Lang Runzhu go away, Li Qing put the business card in his pocket with a look of emotion on his face.
No matter what stage you reach, what kind of people you will meet.
The Goldman Sachs investment bank, which ranks among the top 500 companies in the world, took the initiative to talk to him. It was obvious that they also took a fancy to the value attached to Li Qing. If Li Qing was just the CEO of a media company, it would naturally not be the turn of the Fortune 500 companies to talk to him.
He contacted him, but now that Li Qing has "Legend of Blood" with a monthly revenue of tens of millions, he has obviously been regarded as a lamb to be slaughtered by the capital circle, but how can Li Qing have no one behind him? Not to mention the mainland, just with the
The Korean consortium with which Li Qing is closely connected cannot be underestimated by those in the Hong Kong capital circle.
Although everyone is eyeing "Legend of Blood", Li Qing is thinking of another plan at this time, building an online shopping platform.
This concept has become popular in Europe and the United States, as evidenced by the growing popularity of Amazon's online bookstore.
But in China, because it takes time, effort and money, no one cares about it.
Li Qing once passed this concept to Ye Zhun, but Ye Zhun, the person behind him, seemed to only focus on instant messaging software and the future mobile phone open source operating system, and the construction of an online shopping retail platform has not yet started. It seems that
It doesn't look good, and he is not very willing to take on this project, which Li Qing thinks is a pity.
Of course, he also has selfish motives, and has not warned about the future value of the online shopping retail platform, so he has already started to collect relevant resources not long ago.
From the current point of view, the biggest problem in online shopping is not safe payment, but the logistics aspect of safe trade.
Without a good logistics company, it is really difficult to support commercial transportation spanning thousands of kilometers.
Relying on the National Postal Service alone, not to mention the slow time, cannot guarantee safety...
As for the online payment platform, after mentioning this to Zhou Shu not long ago, the latter started relevant consultations and contacts with the central bank. Unsurprisingly, the central bank slowed down and held an extremely opposed attitude towards private private banks.
, there is no room for discussion. Even if a state-owned group establishes a joint-stock bank, it must go through strict review at all levels, but the central bank does not have relevant jurisdictional regulations on third-party payment platforms.
This is an emerging field, the relevant laws are not perfect, and the departments involved are very narrow.
This surprised Zhou Shu, and she even asked someone to contact the relevant department that day. When the other party heard that he was the general manager of Hanhai Group, he happily agreed to give her a payment license.
With the payment license, the online payment platform created by Hanhai can be connected to the electronic banking access points of major banks. It is equivalent to an online ATM machine and can be deposited and withdrawn at any time. Moreover, because there are no relevant regulations, there are no fees for transfers and remittances.
Therefore, after Zhou Shu obtained Li Qing's written signature, Hanhai immediately invested in establishing a network information technology company and immediately occupied the Alipay domain name in accordance with Li Qing's instructions.
What surprised Li Qing was that the Taobao domain name was already occupied by someone, and it was Zhou Shu who later spent several thousand yuan to take over the domain name.
Now that we have a shopping platform and a payment platform, how to attract merchants to settle in and attract buyers to shop online has become a more urgent issue. Of course, there is also the most troublesome express logistics.
Of course, these are not things that Li Qing needs to consider. All details and worries are arranged and considered by the people below.
The reason why he thought of this matter was entirely because of these four words: Goldman Sachs Group.
Because in a previous life, Taobao's first batch of five million US dollars in venture capital came from this famous investment bank.
