"As for the money issue, Brother Sun, just follow the bottom line I gave you. As long as it is no more than 10 million, it will be fine. But the funds will have to wait. There are probably more than 1 million in Shengtang's account.
, it’s still far short of that, so we have to wait until June. After June, it will be fine. By then, not to mention 10 million, even 20 million can be used!”
In his previous life, Jobs paid 10 million US dollars to buy Industrial Light and Magic. However, Jobs himself knew nothing about movie special effects. Perhaps he valued Industrial Light and Magic because he noticed the potential of combining movies and computers.
Jobs had a strategic vision, but he himself did not have as good conditions as Liu Lang, nor did he have Liu Lang's rich imagination, which was more important to Lucas than money.
Therefore, Liu Lang is confident that even if Jobs comes out with another 10 million, Lucas will not have an advantage over him with 8 million.
Of course, 10 million is not impossible. After all, Industrial Light and Magic will become a company worth billions of dollars in ten years. A mere 10 million is just a bargain, but it can be saved. Liu Lang spent a lot of effort and
Lucas's "nonsense" is just to bargain, and it's worth it if he can save a million.
Liu Lang set up "rules" for Sun Mingren and Lin Guodong, and of course they understood it immediately, especially Sun Mingren. What he has to do now is to negotiate with the other party, and the price is also very clear, which is less than 10 million yuan.
.
This price can be described as a "conscientious price". Of course, it is for Industrial Light and Magic. In Sun Mingren's view, the value of a company lies in its potential, that is, whether it has good products.
There are many investment companies on Wall Street in the United States. Behind them are bank tycoons. They have a lot of funds and are looking for business opportunities everywhere. They will invest in companies with potential. For example, two companies approached them a few months ago.
Shengtang wanted to join them, but the price they offered was too little and they wanted a lot. Not to mention Liu Lang, even Lin Guodong declined on the spot, but this also shows the potential of Shengtang.
What does Industrial Light & Magic have? As a famous director in the United States, the boss has such a wide network of contacts that no venture capital firm pays attention to it. This shows that they are extremely bad. It is a blessing to have someone invest in such a company.
Okay, ten million back? Got kicked in the head by a donkey?
Of course, Sun Mingren is not questioning Liu Lang. Liu Lang's thinking is unconventional and unseen. He can always see things that others can't think of, and he can see further than others. Maybe this company will really succeed in the future.
It can be developed, but you can’t spend 10 million! Moreover, Shengtang Company currently only has 1.3 million US dollars on its books. This is the money Liu Lang got from comics and models in more than a year.
Another part is the royalties from the sales of his book "The Third Industry Wave" in the United States.
With more than 1.3 million US dollars, he is also a millionaire in the United States, but he is not even close to 10 million. Liu Lang said that he would postpone the cooperation with Industrial Light and Magic until June. It is now early March.
A powerful investor would not increase his assets from more than one million to ten million in three months! Unless he sells drugs or engages in arms.
Therefore, Liu Lang's decision made the two of them very puzzled.
Liu Lang noticed their doubts and smiled.
"Two big brothers, we are all a family. I can tell you the truth. I predict that there will be a stock market crash in the United States in May or June this year, and the Dow Jones Index will plummet. For Americans, this is a big disaster.
It's a disaster, but for me, it's a good opportunity to make a fortune!
I have more than one million in my hand now, and if I prepare properly, this amount of money will have to be doubled at least ten times!"
The two of them were not outsiders. Liu Lang told them about the stock market crash. If they had the courage, they would all make a fortune together.
"Stock market crash?"
This time, the two of them were even more "confused". Is it true or not? I feel like this is a bit unreliable.
Stock market crashes in Western countries are not unheard of. For example, the economic crisis in the 1930s directly led to the global stock market crash. Without Roosevelt's efforts to turn the tide, the United States would have been severely damaged. It took the United States several years to gradually recover.
After experiencing this crisis, the U.S. economy has gradually returned to normal. Therefore, things like stock market crashes are all linked to the economy. If the economy is not good, the stock market will naturally slump. If the economy develops, the stock market will inevitably do well.
How is the U.S. economy now? It can be said to be very good. No, it should be said that the world economy is very good, especially Asia, island countries, South Korea, the Gulf and Hong Kong Island are known as the Four Asian Tigers. Their economic development is rapid. What do you think?
There won’t be any stock market crash!
Liu Lang is an expert in economics. Even Professor Wilson praised his book. After its publication, it sold 200,000 copies last year and became the best-selling book on economics in the United States that year. However, even Professor Wilson could not predict that there would be a stock market crash in the United States.
Well, unless you have Zhuge Liang's ability to make calculations in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. In short, Brother Sun, just do it according to my method. Industrial Light and Magic must acquire it, but the price and time must be negotiated. Don't be afraid that Lucas will go back on his word, because now we have
It has become his first choice. Unless we bully him too much, he will never be able to escape from my grasp!"
"That's right, Mr. Liu, you made him look at you today. You didn't see the way he looked at you. You just saw God!"
Lin Guodong smiled.
"For Lucas, Mr. Liu is God, and only we, Shengtang, can save his company!"
Sun Mingren echoed.
"This is our advantage. Without Industrial Light and Magic, we will still develop rapidly, but without us, the other party will go bankrupt soon. Lucas and the others should also know this very well. We have the advantage and are not afraid that they will not give in.
!”
This kind of negotiation is really not difficult for Sun Mingren. It is much easier than the original negotiation with Nike. Nike can at least survive without Liu Lang's design, while Industrial Light and Magic has no funds and new equipment.
The product is a dead end. With this advantage, Sun Mingren is confident that he can get it with three to four million US dollars. Unfortunately, Liu Lang set a lower limit of five million US dollars when he opened his mouth. It is obviously to let the other party take advantage. What a pity.
.
In fact, Liu Langding's price is not a consideration of money, but an attitude of respect. Even if they are acquired, they will be grateful. Otherwise, it will give him a sense of taking advantage of the situation, and then it will not be easy to be together in the future.
Worked.
Now that the matter has been settled, Sun Mingren will go find the other party the day after tomorrow, and Liu Lang will not care about the final price.
