Chapter 1303: Girlfriend in the Republic of China
"Boss Zhou, everything is ready. We have already conducted three secret rehearsals at the base. We also have twice as many drones as backup."
Facing his company's largest shareholder and mentor, Lu Hua adjusted his thick glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied in confirmation.
Wang Tao on the other side added two sentences at the right time: "In order to ensure that the drone will not fall into the West Lake, we specially applied to the community and rented 50 small boats and 100 people."
In order to meet the requirements of the major shareholder and to verify the stability of their own products, Dajiang Drone's general manager Wang Tao and technical director Lu Hua rushed to Hangzhou to personally supervise this stunning show.
I believe that after tonight, most people in China will know the name of the Dajiang UAV.
After immersing themselves in it for several years, they will appear in the eyes of the world in a dazzling manner.
As for the number of drones that may be lost tonight and the cost of tens of millions, it is not a big deal at all.
Anyway, the major shareholders have money.
"I'm looking forward to your performance."
After listening to the relatively specific process, Zhou Anan smiled and expressed affirmation.
Although he knew that the Dajiang UAV would definitely become the most dazzling new star in China's and even the global UAV field, the time was still short and Zhou Anan could not be sure whether it would meet his expectations.
Just two days ago, Wang Tao reported to him that good progress had been made recently, so Zhou Anan took the opportunity to add it to the plan.
Having invested hundreds of millions of dollars, we had intended to give Miss Wang a romantic surprise, and today was a good opportunity to verify the performance of the Dajiang UAV.
"Make sure the mission is accomplished."
Imitating the plots on TV, Wang Tao and the others made the assurance with full confidence.
After parting with the two giants in the drone field, Zhou Anan first went to Blue Whale Entertainment.
There is nothing going on for other companies today, except for Blue Whale Entertainment, which has received a new payment of more than 600 million yuan.
Just the night before yesterday, three major domestic science fiction films that had been released for nearly 50 days were taken off the shelves at the same time. "The Martian" broke the record for domestic films with a total box office of 1.71 billion, while "The Battle of Shanghai", directed by Huang Brothers Film Group, ranked second with 1.1 billion, and "Protectors of the Earth" barely exceeded 1 billion.
As to why "Battle of the Demon City" achieved such excellent box office results, it is unknown to outsiders.
Of course, the other two science fiction films are inferior to "The Martian", which broke a series of domestic records.
"Huang's Pictures is quite generous."
Sitting in General Manager Feng's office and drinking coffee, Zhou Anan smiled and praised him.
According to the original gambling agreement, Huang's Pictures will pay 600 million yuan to Blue Whale Entertainment. Today, the box office revenue has not been settled yet, but the other party has already transferred the money.
"It's all the company's money, so they won't suffer any loss. They can get it back from the stock market in no time."
Speaking of this, Feng Jiming felt that he had suffered a bit of a loss.
Huang Pictures did not suffer a loss for this money, because "The Martian" only counted the domestic box office.
This summer, "The Martian" has set off a wave of popularity abroad, earning $230 million in North America alone, 180 million euros in Europe, and 6 billion yen in the country of cherry blossoms.
All in all, "The Martian" has grossed over $600 million overseas, and its global total has reached 6 billion yuan, making it the number one domestically produced film in China.
If the box office is calculated based on this, Huang's Film Company will go bankrupt just to fulfill the gambling agreement.
In addition, Huang's Pictures made a bet of paying 600 million as promised, which attracted a lot of attention. It also announced that it would participate in the production of two subsequent science fiction films by Blue Whale Entertainment, with at least a 15% investment share.
For a while, the market was full of expectations for Huang's Pictures, which will be listed on the domestic main board next week.
There is no doubt that after The Martian became a huge hit in the global film market, audiences are full of expectations for the next two major science fiction films from Blue Whale Entertainment.
As long as director Li Donglai maintains his current level, the box office of the two science fiction films will definitely not be bad, and the domestic box office will even increase further as the number of cinemas increases.
In this regard, Feng Jiming felt that giving up 15% of the investment share was a bit of a loss.
According to the specific agreement, Huang's Pictures' return on investment is 15% of the domestic box office and only 5% of the international market share, which have not been announced to the public.
Except for North America, where Blue Whale Entertainment contacted Marvel Studios for distribution, the rest of the overseas markets were distributed through Qingshu Pictures. All in all, the company was able to generate revenue of around 1 billion yuan, not including the one-time buyout costs for surrounding products.
"We're making money for free anyway."
Seeing General Manager Feng taking advantage of the situation and acting like a good kid, Zhou Anan did not expose him.
Blue Whale Entertainment made money, so he was naturally happy.
Blue Whale Entertainment did not suffer any loss by letting Huang's Pictures invest in the next two science fiction films. At least the next two blockbusters directed by Li Donglai were a big hit from the start.
"Yes, Director Yang's "The Whole World" is released tonight. How much do you think it will earn on the first day?"
After the simple Versailles, Feng Jiming, who felt he couldn't show off in front of the major shareholder, talked about another movie.
In order to avoid scheduling conflicts with its own films, the release of "Passing By Your World" directed by Yang Wenjing was delayed to today, the Chinese Valentine's Day. The previous series of publicity has created enough momentum, and the pre-sale box office on Meimei.com has reached more than 20 million.
If you do the math, the investment budget for this movie is only 30 million, plus publicity, the total is more than 40 million. It is sure to be another dark horse that makes a big profit with a small investment.
"12 million."
In response to General Manager Feng's question about the nutritional value, Zhou Anan casually gave a number.
"Can you not be so perfunctory?"
After hearing the answer from the major shareholder, Feng Jiming couldn't help but complain.
The pre-sale box office of "Passing by Your World" was 20 million, of which 10 million was the pre-sale box office for today's premiere. The major shareholder estimated that 2 million was added on this basis. Is this questioning the publicity and promotion capabilities and production quality of Blue Whale Entertainment?
There have been no strong rivals in the domestic film market in recent days, so getting a first-day box office of 20 million is not very normal.
"25 million."
"Are you serious?"
"Not seriously."
“.”
After chatting for a while, Zhou Anan left the general manager's office and returned to his chairman's office.
The revenue from Blue Whale Entertainment will not be distributed as dividends immediately, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
What's more, it's just a few hundred million. The four projects he is currently investing in will total more than 70 billion.
Tesla China, Tiantian Technology's new factory, new energy vehicle project, and new energy battery project, the first three require investments of tens of billions of yuan over several years, and the last one requires an initial investment of 5 billion yuan, which is not a small amount.
Because there were suddenly four more major projects under his control, Zhou Anan needed to deal with a series of affairs, as well as loans from the bank.
Although the total investment is 70 billion, it is not a one-time investment, nor is it invested by Zhou Anan alone.
In addition, billions were defrauded from the two top young masters of Hong Kong, and enthusiastic friends from Hong Kong also gave 2 billion some time ago. The amount of money actually needed to be loaned is not much.
"Follow up the progress of the negotiations between Haizhou and Wuzhou."
Leaning back in the boss chair and enjoying the massage from two beautiful secretaries, Zhou Anan closed his eyes and gave a casual instruction after finishing some documents.
The secretary has the job to do, and the president's office is there to help him do his work.
"OK."
Huang Ying, who was giving the big boss a head massage with her fingertips, answered softly.
When Zhou Anan went to the clothing store to pick up his girlfriend in the afternoon, she suddenly changed into a modified cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China. The whole dress was white, with transparent lace on the arms, and occasional floral embroidery on it, as if she was a lady from the Republic of China era.
White has always been the softest color for Miss Wang's outfit. She is a perfect clothes hanger in herself, but suddenly adding the pure Republic of China style makes it a little hard to hold back.
With this appearance, you will definitely get a lot of attention when you go out.
Having an urge to transform into a warlord of the Republic of China, Zhou Anan took a deep breath and resisted the evil idea of robbing the female students.
Sorry, gentlemen who are out shopping tonight, please pay attention to the finger-snapping skills of your female companions.
"How about it?"
Feeling her boyfriend's stagnant gaze, Wang Xiaoxiao asked with a satisfied smile.
"Very beautiful, why did you want to change to this style today?"
Holding Miss Wang's slender waist, Zhou Anan smelled the faint fragrance on his girlfriend's body and asked with a smile why she changed clothes.
"Today is a holiday, and a friend in Suzhou asked me to help sell her embroidered clothing, so I tried it on first."
Speaking of this reason, Wang Xiaoxiao downplayed it and tried her best not to let her boyfriend think about it in certain ways.
"tonight."
He leaned over to his girlfriend's ear and said something. Seeing Miss Wang's face suddenly turn red, Zhou Anan felt very proud.
