Chapter 176: Since it is gambling, there is a time to lose
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three of them changed slightly, and there was a slight chill in their hearts. Then a look of solemnity appeared on their faces. At this time, Hill gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Mr. Ye, I don't think it is necessary to cause a life-and-death situation.
Even if our behavior towards you is indeed a bit unsavory, we have never wanted to kick you out, we just hope that you can transfer some profits, this is our fundamental motive."
"Of course you won't kick me out. How can you continue to play without me?" Ye Hua said calmly.
Hill was speechless when he said these words. Bix then continued: "I believe there is no conflict in the world that both parties cannot agree on, as long as the price is right, so Mr. Ye, please speak out."
Ye Hua stretched out three fingers and said concisely: "Thirty percent."
"What?"
The three old men exclaimed in unison. Even though they are veterans of shopping malls, it is difficult to remain calm at this moment. They all changed their expressions. Old man Iger couldn't help but said angrily: "30% of the share, this will increase the global movie box office."
Almost all profits have been given away, Mr. Ye, if it were you, what would you do?"
Hearing this, Ye Hua looked into his eyes and said calmly: "You still need to ask? If it were me, of course I would agree without hesitation."
Three people: "..."
Hilton suddenly said: "Why?"
Ye Hua smiled silently and said immediately: "It's that simple to survive. Well, you three old guys really don't understand, so I'll tell you, do you think my bargaining chip is flix? No, it
The biggest role is just a promoter. Behind flix is Wall Street, and behind you is Wall Street. Do you think I will be stupid enough to bet my chips on Wall Street? As for my chips, my chips are... the future."
As he spoke, Ye Hua suddenly looked at the bosses of Universal and Time Warner and said, "You should call your bosses, Brian Roberts and Randall L. Stephenson, maybe they can have a pleasant negotiation with me.
process."
Suddenly, Hill and Bix's expressions changed unexpectedly, and they even became a little unable to resist.
These words touched them too much. It was equivalent to the other party having seen through all their own motives and deeper motives. It felt like there were no little secrets left in front of him.
Is this Chinese a monster?
Randall L. Stephenson is the head of AT&T, and Brian Roberts is the son of Ralph Roberts, the founder of the Comcast consortium, and is now the head of the American telecommunications giant Comcast.
AT&T and Comcast are the first and second largest telecommunications giants in the United States, as well as the top two Internet service providers in the United States.
On the surface, it is a ploy by Hollywood to strive for profits, which is correct to say, but in fact the biggest purpose is hidden in it. Behind this game is to attack the PHC ecosystem of Coastline Company.
Because AT&T behind Time Warner and Comcast behind Universal are both Internet service providers, once the "story" of the PHC ecosystem is successfully told by Ye Hua, it will have a huge impact on them.
It is inevitable that interests will be damaged. The interests of multiple positions have been damaged, and the total is terrifying.
The $100 million bounty on Ye Hua's head on the dark web is not guaranteed. It is still hanging on it and has not been removed. This shows that there are a group of people who hate him and want to kill him as soon as possible.
"If you want 30%, you can survive, if you want 40%, it will cost you your life. I even think that I have been extremely kind. Maybe 37% is the limit." Ye Hua said lightly: "If you are all old fools, If you can’t settle this account, I’ll settle it for you.”
Faced with Ye Hua's rude remarks, the three film industry giants present dared not speak out in anger. By now, they had vaguely felt that they could no longer talk to him on an equal footing, and they were no longer able to resist. I'm afraid the only ones who can deal with him are Brian or Randall.
Ye Hua said again: "The data does not lie. It will only take three years for the total size of the global movie box office market to increase by 100% due to consumption upgrades, and it is not a problem to have a box office size of over 100 billion US dollars in the future. Regarding the public opinion position The importance of the United States is something you Americans are potentially eager to demand. The United States spends money on the Hollywood window every year and obviously does not want to lose this position, so you can also get indirect subsidies, right?"
"And I just want a share of the box office, and you tell me that you can't survive? No, you want to get more nourishment."
Speaking of this, Ye Hua continued with a rather regretful tone: "Originally, Hollywood helped a lot in starting Shoreline Company. Although everyone takes what they need, I still feel grateful. It's a pity that you overestimated your own carrying capacity and underestimated me while being greedy. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. It is only natural. If it were me, I would be willing to pay the price and No regrets!!!”
Faced with the outspoken mockery and decisiveness of Ye Hua's gang, the three film industry bigwigs present also cried and lamented in their hearts, which was considered to be the consequences.
To be honest, Ye Hua wanted a 12% ratio because he really wanted to be a part of the company. He is a person who repays kindness. Hollywood stood up at the critical moment, even though it was driven by their own interests. , but it really helped Ye Hua open up a favorable situation.
But what is left now is Chi Guoguo's bargaining chip exchange on the table. On this table where absolute interests are paramount, there is no longer any affection at all. What is left is Chi Guoguo's interests.
At this point, it is impossible not to regret it, but time will not turn back.
Originally, if the trouble had not come to this point, there would still be a lot of profit. After all, holographic technology has brought about a revolution in the film industry and an upgrade in consumption. The ticket price for watching holographic movies has increased by almost 70%, but the ticket price The rise in prices has not only not hindered audiences from entering cinemas, but has stimulated more people to enter holographic cinemas.
This means that even if the number of movie viewings remains unchanged in the future, the entire movie box office market will still surge by 60 to 70 percent. Last year, the global movie box office market was more than 56 billion US dollars, and this year it will exceed 70 billion in 2021. The probability of the total global box office reaching US$100 million is extremely high, and it is also expected that the global movie box office market will exceed US$100 billion before 2025.
Although Coastline Company took 12%, there is no doubt that since the market is so big, everyone's actual profits are greater than before.
However, people’s hearts are like that. When the major Hollywood giants saw that Coastline Company was not doing anything, they took away a large wave of profits. They felt really unbalanced. In addition, the parent company and consortium behind it also wanted to kill the PHC ecosystem. , even though he knew that this move was a strategic move, he was still driven by the big enough profit temptation to move on, because he would make a lot of money if he won, so he took the risk and took this risky move.
But since it is gambling, there will be times when you lose.
