Chapter 117: Suffering Is A Blessing
Xiang Huajia, a film tycoon on Hong Kong Island, is not unenthusiastic.
That usually unsmiling face also became kind and amiable in Li Bai's eyes.
60 million can buy the permanent online broadcast rights of all movies in the Longguo Star library. Is this price expensive?
Definitely the price of cabbage!
At that time, LeTV began to secretly acquire the film and television copyrights of major film companies since 2005.
At that time, a total of almost 400 million Long Guoyuan was spent, all of which were exclusive broadcasting rights on the Internet for 20 years.
But at that time, copyright was already taken seriously.
And at that time there were rumors that the government would vigorously crack down on online piracy.
So the major film companies are not stupid, they sell film copyrights according to the number of years, but in the long run, these savvy film companies still lose money.
Take the Dragon Kingdom movie "Let the Bullets Fly" in 2006 as an example. At that time, the online broadcast rights were 5 million Dragon Kingdom coins.
But after 2008, the online broadcast rights of movies of the same level have already been fired to 30 million.
And the online copyrights of those old movies are no longer available for 17,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the value has been directly increased by more than 10 times.
Therefore, 60 million is a huge profit for Li Bai.
Even 14 years later, Li Bai shared the copyright with other video sites.
These film copyrights of Long Guoxing alone can bring Li Bai hundreds of millions of income every year.
"Since Mr. Xiang is so forthright, then I won't counter-offer, and I also know that Mr. Xiang will not deceive me, a young man. Wish us a happy cooperation.
Li Bai extended his right hand heartily.
Xiang Huayu was a little dazed, but he still reached out to hold Li Bai together.
Do young people today do business like this?
Although 60 million is not much, but in this era of rampant piracy, I am afraid that only fools will pay, right?
Besides, Long Guoxing's background is not enough after all, and Curry doesn't have many movies.
Xiang Huawan even felt a little guilty at the moment.
"I don't know if Mr. Li has other things to do in Hong Kong this time besides making movies and buying movie copyrights? If so, I will definitely help."
Xiang Huayu's expression was serious, as if to say: We will be brothers from now on, and your business is mine.
This caught Li Bai a little off guard.
What else can you do on Hong Kong Island now?
Li Bai pursed his lips, yes, he can still buy a house!
In memory, from 1997 to 2003, housing prices on Hong Kong Island began to fall rapidly during this period.
And it's kind of a rip-off.
A hilltop villa originally worth 500 million can now be won for only 150 million.
After 14 years, the price will be 1.5 billion.
Li Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter: "I want to buy a batch of luxury houses. I wonder if Mr. Xiang would like to help?"
Buy a mansion?
Sure enough, a rich man!
The mansion that can be said from the mouth of Li Bai, who is worth 5 billion dragon national currency, must be the kind of expensive one.
Recently, housing prices on Hong Kong Island have fallen again and again, and many wealthy people have the idea of selling their properties.
Judging from the fact that no one cares about real estate on Hong Kong Island, even if the government no longer grants land to real estate companies, the real estate built now can still be sold until 2004.
In other words, the housing prices on Hong Kong Island will continue to fall in the past two years.
Although these rich people are not short of money, they still have the instinct to buy high and sell low.
Sell it now, wait for the price to drop a little next year, and then buy it again, and you can make a lot of money even if you come and go.
Especially those who are not top-notch rich people on Hong Kong Island basically have this idea.
Xiang Huayu thought for a while: "I don't know where the mansion Mr. Li wants to buy?"
"Deep Water Bay, Mid-Levels, and Peak, just these three places. The area is not less than 1,500 square meters. I plan to buy one for each place."
Li Bai's tone was a little excited.
This feeling of buying, buying, and buying is the most pleasant feeling.
Xiang Huayu felt his mouth was dry.
Even if the holidays plummet now, in these three places, luxury houses of no less than 1,500 square meters cost at least hundreds of millions.
As soon as he opened his mouth, there were three top mansions, and he felt more grandiose than the veteran tycoon who had struggled for decades.
Don't look at the valuation of Long Guoxing Company, which is only a few hundred million.
But Xiang Huajun is really not short of money.
"No problem, I will help Mr. Li to find out [I will give you an answer within two days."
"Then thank you, Mr. Xiang."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they were very satisfied with this cooperation.
In the end, Xiang Huaqiang also invited Li Bai to have a meal, and the two separated.
In the car, Qi Yongsheng still couldn't hold it back: "Boss, you are a little impulsive today. 60 million yuan is too expensive to buy Long Guoxing's film library, and now the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island is plummeting. Not a wise choice."
"Hahaha, no, no, no, you are wrong." Li Bai was in a good mood: "I will work to make the government strictly crack down on piracy, so these copyrights will naturally increase in price; as for luxury houses, I admit that Hong Kong Island real estate The lowest point should be next year, but selling now is considered a bargain, and in the long run, I will definitely make money."
Li Bai paused and asked, "Have you been on Hong Kong Island for many years?"
Qi Yongsheng has been in Hong Kong Island for 90 years. Li Bai hired a headhunting company to get into the company. He used to work as a middle-level manager in Golden Harvest.
"Well, 20 years."
Qi Yongsheng was a little puzzled, why did Li Bai carry such an important thing.
I just heard Li Bai say: "Wait until next year, when the house price drops again, if you have money, you can buy some houses and stock them up. Don't dare to say anything else. By 2005, the house price will at least triple."
"Ah?" 000, is your boss teaching you to speculate in real estate?
Qi Yongsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still remembered Li Bai's words.
Who made himself this boss a legendary genius?
The news that Li Bai bought out the online broadcasting rights of Long Guoxing film library for 60 million yuan spread throughout the Hong Kong Island film circle that afternoon.
In addition, when Li Bai's house prices plummeted, he planned to buy several luxury houses.
What's more, Li Bai's name was stamped with the remark that people are stupid and have a lot of money.
Li Bai's name has been remembered by film companies large and small on Hong Kong Island.
They like this kind of heroic mainlanders the most!
Of course, this is also the illusion that Li Bai deliberately created for Hong Kong Island Film Company.
Among other things, on the second day, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers came to the door on their own initiative.
For a total of 200 million Dragon National Dollars, Li Bai sold out the exclusive online broadcasting rights of all the films of the two major companies.
On the third day, the former New Art City, Debao, and Baohe
Hong Kong island film companies, large and small, almost broke through the threshold of Li Bai's hotel room.
Another 140 million Hong Kong dollars was thrown out. Basically, in the history of Hong Kong Island movies, all the movies that can be named have been bought out by Li Bai.
A total of 400 million Dragon National Coins was spent, but this is an exclusive and permanent network broadcasting right.
After more than ten years, it can be worth at least 10 billion!
So, suffering is a blessing! .
