Chapter 681 Old Fox

Qin Feng's proposal made Kevin very interested.

With a box office of less than 300 million US dollars, it did not ask for any dividends at all. This is very interesting. This shows that it is full of confidence in this "Harry Potter".

300 million box office, considering the current market situation, is considered very good.

As far as the current total global box office is concerned, a few hundred million is already very good. The return on investment is very high.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so confident!" Kevin looked at Qin Feng.

"How's it going, Kevin, we're confident here, how about you?" Tumbo asked with a smile.

Kevin pondered, he was also very interested, and he felt that this subject matter had a chance of becoming popular. But movies are sometimes like this, and a subject matter that you think is very popular may not necessarily become popular.

For example, many people were very optimistic about the original "Shawshank Redemption", but the result? Not good at all.

The box office was terrible.

On the contrary, another film, "Forrest Gump" was completely popular.

The box office reputation is a hit.

Therefore, sometimes it is really risky to invest in making a movie. After all, sometimes you invest tens of millions and the box office is less than the investment cost, which means you will lose money.

But this "Harry Potter" is indeed not available on the market, and he has this confidence. Especially, the other party only asked to participate in dividends, and did not ask to take money directly. From the perspective of Time Warner, this is something that can be circumvented

Risky investment.

"I can sign a contract with you, but in the end whether the film will be filmed or not, I have to take it back and discuss it before making a decision." Kevin decided to be more conservative.

"No problem!" Qin Feng smiled, "I have confidence in this drama. But if you don't film it and transfer it, then the ownership will be in my hands."

"Of course!" Kevin nodded.

"Then let's sign the contract!" Kevin took out his pen.

Although he believes that "Harry Potter" may not necessarily be a hit, it has the potential to become popular, so he never wants to leave others behind.

"Well, before signing the contract, there is one more thing. I want to get rid of President Kevin!" Qin Feng took out another contract.

"What is this?" Kevin was curious.

"I want the right to use your company's cable modem in China. So, I wonder what kind of price President Kevin can give me?" Qin Feng smiled.

Lisa told the story from the side.

"The price of US$100 million is indeed our company's policy. After all, China has a large population." Kevin considered, "But, now that you have found me, how much do you want to pay?"

"The buyout price is US$50 million! And if you bid, the money will be deducted from my contract," Qin Feng said.

"50 million!" Kevin thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

In fact, not to mention 50 million, even 10 million US dollars, he thinks it is a good deal. After all, China is such a poor country, the Internet? Is it possible for them to develop the Internet? Especially, this requires cable TV.

He doesn't think China can lay so many cable TV cables in a short period of time. Moreover, this technology also has its shortcomings.

After all, the United States is currently also developing optical fiber technology, which may become obsolete in a few years.

However, you can't sell it so cheaply to the outside world. Especially with such a large population in China, maybe one day the market will pick up.

Therefore, US$50 million is still a good price. Especially since the other party also provided such a script.

"The price is acceptable, but you have to pay $20 million first! The post-production expenses will be deducted from the income of the script. If we don't film, then you have to pay the remaining $30 million!" Kevin said.

It can be said that Kevin has not suffered any losses from this matter. Using a technology that is destined to be outdated and selling it at a high price to a market that may never develop will not be a loss at all.

Especially with such a good-looking script.

"Deal!" Qin Feng smiled slightly.

The big stone in my heart finally fell away.

Subsequently, both parties happily signed the contract.

The next day, Qin Feng transferred the money to Time Warner Kung Fu's account. After that, Qin Feng returned to China with the complete technology of the cable modem, as well as the related equipment and engineering drawings produced.

"Lei Jun, this is the cable modem I brought back. Here are the drawings and related technologies. They are all stored in this hard drive! You can study it and see how long it will take to develop it." Qin Feng put the hard drive and equipment and

The drawings were handed to Lei Jun.

"Did you get them all? How much did it cost?" Lei Jun asked.

"50 million US dollars!" Qin Feng said.

"So expensive! The company doesn't have that much money!" Lei Jun was stunned.

"I have advanced this money first, and will pay it back to me when the company develops later!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "When the time comes, just pay me the bank interest!"

"Thank you very much!" Lei Jun thanked him after a long time.

Qin Feng could take this matter as an opportunity to reduce their shares. But Qin Feng didn't, he just used it as a loan and paid some interest.

It can be said that this time the company owes Qin Feng a favor.

Subsequently, Lei Jun began to gather together all the company's scientific researchers and graduate students who entered the company, and started copying.

There are technical drawings, equipment, and various materials. This kind of copy is actually very simple.

It's not complicated in terms of difficulty. For them, the main thing is to integrate it and make it their own technology. It's like taking a class to absorb Time Warner's technology.

After they absorb it, they will use this technology to create production flow drawings based on the current domestic manufacturing level.

Then, a set of training courses are listed to train those installers who will come to install cable modems in the future.

After these two sets of processes are completed and production begins, cable modems can be promoted.

Of course, Beijing TV stations have also begun to promote it. Since this technology is so mature and can far exceed the Internet speed of telephone lines, there is no reason why TV stations should not promote it. In particular, the country is also promoting the development of the Internet.

Soon, everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital learned about the emergence of a brand new network service, wired broadband. Its speed will be hundreds of times higher than the current one.

This directly shocked the entire Beijing Internet.

Currently, we still use telephone lines to access the Internet, and the speed is extremely slow. Opening any web page is a hit or miss.

As a result, ultra-high-speed broadband has been launched directly here, and the download speed can reach more than 3m per second, which is simply jaw-dropping.

The gap between the two is like the gap between the Yanggu Trail and the expressway.

Therefore, many companies with Internet needs have contacted TV stations to inquire about related costs and submit installation applications.
