"Little guy, you just discuss business in front of me and then borrow money from me. Is it okay to do this?"
Xiao Qian is shameless and not ashamed.
"I can calculate the interest for you."
Zhang Sujiu was so amused that she pointed at him.
"Although this is the first time I've met you, I've always heard them say that you little monkey is cunning and slippery. When I saw you today, it was true. Just bring me this gift and you'll take away seven hundred dollars from me.
Ten thousand dollars?”
What can Xiao Qian do?
I had to use one color.
Li Qingjue immediately went up and hugged Zhang Sujiu's arm.
"Grandma Zhang, please help Xiao Qian. This special effects studio is very important and can help the domestic film industry."
Xiao Qian then added.
"Grandma Zhang, this time in response to the return of Xiangjiang, our Starlight Culture and Jiahe Company are jointly preparing to film "The Opium War". In order to allow the general public to feel that tragic history, realistic special effects will play a great role
It's a pity that we don't have such technology in China, which is the tragedy of us filmmakers. Investing in Weta Digital this time will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I plan to use Weta Digital's technology to improve the level of domestic films.
, to shoot our own blockbuster movies of China’s own.”
It is useless to talk about money with Zhang Sujiu. But as soon as she talks about national affairs, the old lady's attitude immediately changes.
"Is this kind of technology needed in China?"
Xiao Qian's expression became serious and she nodded very solemnly.
What he said was originally true and can withstand inspection.
Zhang Sujiu looked at him seriously for a long time.
She didn't believe that Xiao Qian dared to lie to her, otherwise, Li Zhen could beat him to death.
In this case...
"Okay, I'll lend you this money. You don't need to pay interest, but you must make our Chinese movies a good one. Do you understand?"
As she spoke, the old lady's tone suddenly became harsh.
"Don't let grandma be angry with you."
Xiao Qian was shocked and suddenly realized that an unprecedented opportunity had been presented to him.
This trip to the United States was much more fruitful than expected.
He originally just wanted to find a powerful special effects studio to help complete the special effects production of "The Opium War". But he did not expect that he would soon own a top-notch special effects company.
Having been reborn, he knows very well what owning a top special effects company means to Starlight Film and Television and even the entire Chinese film industry.
"Grandma Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely let you see the day when Chinese movies take off."
Xiao Qian rarely gives any guarantees. This is the first time and the most solemn one.
After getting the money, Xiao Qian's state immediately changed.
He looked at Jackson and the two who were almost getting mad from waiting, and showed a victorious smile.
"Mr. Jackson, Mr. Taylor, I can provide you with the investment you need."
After saying this short sentence, both Jackson and Taylor showed ecstatic smiles.
Xiao Qian didn't know that during this period, they had searched almost all the investment companies they could find in order to find investment.
It's a pity that the two of them are not famous enough, and those investment companies are full of doubts about them and do not want to invest in them.
Both of them were almost desperate. Otherwise, they would not have come to Zhang Sujiu through their acquaintances.
Zhang Sujiu is not an investor and has no choice. This is definitely not their goal.
Fortunately, on the edge of despair, they met Xiao Qian and finally got investment.
Little do they know, as long as they survive this period, their future will be bright.
Now, this light belongs to Xiao Qian and Chinese movies.
"You two, do you accept my investment?"
Jackson and Taylor nodded.
They have been looking for investment all over the world, and now they are finally willing to invest. Wouldn't they be stupid if they don't agree again?
After the wish was fulfilled, Xiao Qian continued to ask: "What are your ideas and conditions regarding investment?"
It can be seen that Richard Taylor is really shy, so Jackson is basically responsible for this kind of thing.
He looked at the young over-the-top investor carefully and spoke softly.
"We hope to continue to retain the operating rights and decision-making rights of Weta Digital, and investors cannot interfere with our management."
"I can promise you this."
Xiao Qian didn't have any objections.
In the field of film special effects, others are the experts, he is not.
If he interferes too much, it will only cause trouble without any benefit.
Smart people should know to leave professional matters to professionals.
Seeing him agree to this condition, Jackson and Taylor were surprised.
"Then we have no other conditions."
This time it was Xiao Qian's turn.
"As for me, there is a condition, and it is a necessary condition."
Xiao Qian looked at the two of them with burning eyes.
"Although I will invest seven million US dollars in you, I can use equity as a condition in exchange for an opportunity."
When the two of them looked over uneasily, he said seriously: "Even though I am the largest investor in Weta Digital, I don't have to be the largest shareholder. My equity can be maintained at an appropriate ratio, so that you can better
But I will send some special effects staff from China to Weta Digital to work with you and learn at the same time. This condition is necessary. If you do not agree, I will withdraw this investment."
What is the fundamental reason why Xiao Qian attacked Weta Digital?
Of course, I covet other people’s technology.
For Chinese films to develop, top-notch special effects technology is indispensable. However, China's strength in this area is too weak, and there will be no hope for a long time in the future.
Even though in the second decade of the 21st century, domestic blockbusters were rampant in the previous life, in fact, upon closer inspection, many of the special effects technologies used in them were still responsible for foreign productions.
For example, the sound effects editing and mixing production in "Wolf Warrior 2" were handled by Park Road Post-Production Company, a subsidiary of Weta Digital Group.
Xiao Qian certainly hopes that the special effects technology of Chinese films can develop in an all-round way, so he must have his own team of special effects talents.
Invest in Weta Digital and use this platform to train your own talents. This is Xiao Qian's idea.
If we do not make up for our shortcomings in this aspect, then Chinese films will not fully stand up.
After stating his conditions, Xiao Qian sat down solemnly, waiting for Jackson and Taylor to respond.
The two fat white guys looked at each other, looking at each other.
Of course they knew Xiao Qian's purpose for doing this, and they also knew that once the special effects personnel from China learned their skills, Hollywood would have a strong opponent.
In that case...
None of their business.
They are New Zealanders, not Americans, so why should they worry about the American film industry?
China is now reforming and opening up, and its economy is booming. Who knows how far it will develop in the future?
If China's economy becomes stronger in the future, with such a large population, it will definitely become another more important film market in the world.
At that time, even if there is no Hollywood, maybe with today's good fortune, they can go to the Chinese film market to make money.
The two fat men with bad intentions just looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
"Okay, Xiao, although your conditions are very tough, the U.S. dollar is so cute. God told us that we will be punished if we refuse the U.S. dollar. So... we agreed to this condition."
Xiao smiled slightly, and Jackson and Taylor also laughed.
Everyone was happy because no one suffered a loss in this transaction.
If everyone makes money, then it is a perfect transaction.
Looking at Xiao Qian, who was not losing in battles with foreigners, Zhang Sujiu could only shake her head and lamented that China's new generation has really grown up.
At the very least, this high-spirited and confident mental state is really beyond the reach of people who have come out of these difficult times.
With young people like this, how could China’s future be bad?
Zhang Sujiu mobilized funds very quickly. In just three days, seven million US dollars was in Xiao Qian's hands.
Afraid of having long nights and long dreams, Xiao Qian signed the investment agreement with Jackson and Taylor as quickly as possible.
At this point, Starlight Culture has become one of the major shareholders of Weta Digital, the future leader in the industry, and has a most advanced special effects talent training base.
