Chapter 222 Movie Premiere
After the enthusiasm, the four of them sat down.[][]..[]
Sayat looked at Su Wen and said lightly: "Troll Stone is a treasure in the West. Our Christie Auction House intends to buy Troll Stone. I wonder what you are thinking about?"
Sauron and Baker looked at each other and wanted to speak.
Su Wen hurriedly stopped the two of them: "I have decided that the troll stone can be auctioned for you, not for sale."
"auction?"
The three of them frowned, and they still wanted to acquire it.
The last time the Eye of the Dragon made a big profit from the Luxembourg auction house where Baker was located, and this time the Troll Stone was obviously a lot of profit.
But if it is auctioned, the profit will be greatly reduced.
"Three, why don't you talk?" Su Wen smiled. He looked at the three of them and showed a bitter face, and wanted to laugh inexplicably.
"Su Wen, if you want to auction, our three auction houses will be almost the same." Sauron sighed, "We are all old friends, and we get a commission of 5%. What do you think?"
"Are you sure you want a commission of 5%?" Su Wen looked at Soren with a smile, "As far as I know, you three auction houses seem to be a little unsuccessful in the West recently. The newly-rise St. Peter's auction house is in full swing, and you have been hit to varying degrees."
Soren and the other two were shocked. They didn't expect Su Wen to know this.
"You three auction houses urgently need treasures to turn the situation around. Let alone commissions, you are willing to lose some good treasures even if you lose money. I'm right."
Sauron smiled bitterly: "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. We do need treasures to fill the auction house."
Su Wen nodded: "If you tell me the truth, we will discuss more. In Jubaozhai, there are not only troll stones, but also many good things. You can choose whatever you want. However, I need you to agree to a condition."
“What conditions?”
"The things from Jubaozhai can be auctioned in your three auction houses in the future, but the commission can only be one percent and cannot be changed."
"How can this be done with one percent commission?" Sayat said in a lost voice. "Every time we auction things, we spend a lot of publicity, security, transportation, labor costs, etc. There is basically no profit for one percent commission."
Su Wen gave Sayat a blank look: "You still want to make money now. Let's deal with St. Peter's Auction first!"
"You are taking advantage of the situation," Baker yelled.
"How can I say that I am taking advantage of the situation? I made such a request for the long-term cooperation in the future." Su Wen said lightly, "To be honest, before I went downstairs, I was thinking about whether to blackmail you. I can say it without hesitation. As long as I have good treasures, even if I ask you to pay for money, you will agree now. Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can call and ask your own managers in the auction house. I have time to wait for you."
Sauron looked at Su Wen, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
Before coming to Jubaozhai, Sauron also asked the people in the family and the answers he received were similar to what Su Wen said.
As long as there are treasures, it is not impossible to pay money.
But what Su Wen said should I extort them? Is this already extortion good?
One percent commission is basically unprecedented.
But now Su Wen is tough and they can do nothing about it.
"You think carefully. If anyone gives me a satisfactory result at the beginning, I will give the troll stone to whom." Su Wen stood up after saying that, "Our relationship is relationship, but after all, this involves many years of cooperation in the future, and may even be a business deal worth trillions, so I have to be cautious and have to be in a position to forgive others. If there is really something to offend, please forgive me."
Sayat smiled bitterly: "What you said is reasonable, we can understand. However, we have to sign a long-term contract and the commission is only one percent. This is no longer what the three of us can decide. All we can do is to feedback the situation as soon as possible. At that time, no matter whether the above agrees or not, we will give you an answer."
"This is the best." Su Wen smiled.
Let’s talk about other situations below, which will be much more pleasant.
"By the way, who did you auction the last time that body-tempering pill?" Su Wen asked for thought for a moment.
At the last auction of Jiangning Shengshi Auction House, he went to Kyoto, and finally it seemed that the Body Tempering Pill was auctioned at an incredible high price, and I don’t know who bought it.
However, Su Wen guessed that one of Sauron and the other three must have been wrong.
"I took the photo and it cost 600 million." Sauron felt a little painful.
"You want to use that body-tempering pill to study new medicine, right?" Su Wen had to ask carefully. Who asked him to take out a poison pill that failed to refine. If someone took it, he might die miserably.
"Well, this is true. I hope I can find a good drug, otherwise I will lose a lot." Sauron sighed.
Su Wen didn't say anything, but he could only feel sorry for Sauron.
Unless you have luck, the drugs developed by the poison pill can only be poison.
...
In the afternoon, Su Wen got news from Kyoto.
Shentu planned to come to Jiangning the day after tomorrow, and there were also a person from the Long family and several elders of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
Su Wen murmured silently, and a strange flower appeared in his hand. This was the konjac flower he had recycled in the world of cultivation.
According to Xiaotian, konjac flower is a poisonous flower. Its juice is colorless and tasteless. After taking it, it will cause people to lose their minds.
If you want to poison Shentu, konjac flower is definitely the best choice, which is more suitable than the body-tempering pill that failed to refine.
However, when poisoning, you must also pay attention to timing and plan.
Su Wen already had several plans in his mind. How to implement them depends on the specific situation after Shentu arrived.
"Is Su Wen here?" A familiar voice sounded. This was a carefree fat man.
"Fatty, long time no see. I feel like you have lost a lot of weight and handsome recently." Su Wen couldn't help but say.
Pan Yu was a little proud when he heard this: "You also discovered that since I had my own career, I was fully committed to it, and I forgot to eat and sleep, so I naturally lost weight. My father didn't expect that I could lose weight like this, so I was happy and invested in a movie for me."
"It's really...alternative to lose weight like this." Su Wen could think of these two words.
"My personal nutritionist said that if I keep doing this afternoon, I will lose my standard weight in another half a year." Pan Yu smiled, "At that time you will know how handsome I am, I hope you don't be jealous."
"Will I be jealous of you?" Su Wen laughed, "You have lost weight, and in my eyes, you are still fat."
Pan Yu was speechless. He was a fat man nickname.
But it doesn't matter. Only Su Wen calls him fat in Jiangning, so it makes the two look closer.
"Tell me, what are you doing at this time? Do you want money again?" Su Wen simply asked directly. He is very confident in the fat man now. If the fat man wants to invest in any movie, he doesn't mind investing in some money for the fat man.
"I'm not short of money yet. I'm inviting you to the premiere of "My Senior Sister Can't Be So Cute". "The Fat Man explained his purpose, "Why are you a big boss? This is our first movie. As the saying goes, a good start, you can't do without you!"
"When will it be the premiere?" Su Wen remembered that it should have been these few days.
"The official release is tomorrow, and the premiere is eight o'clock tonight." said the fat man.
"Okay, where is it? I will go then." Su Wen responded directly.
"Dawn Cinema." The fat man smiled, "There will be a movie called "Hot Blooded Jianghu" premiered at the same time, and he is also our biggest competitor."
""Hot Blooded Jianghu"?" Su Wen was stunned. "It seems that the hype was very hot. Someone predicted that the box office of this movie would exceed 200 million. Are you confident that you can beat them?"
"I really didn't have confidence before, but now..." The fat man smiled silly, "The boss's wife gave me an idea called the online VIP movie sales model. I tried to implement it, and the response was very good."
"Online VIP movies?" Su Wen didn't understand.
"This involves IP value. The reason why I bought the copyright of the novel is actually the IP value. The online VIP movie sales model is actually a means of kidnapping sales. Readers who like this book, as long as they broadcast the movie on-demand on the site, only 60% of the price of the cinema can watch the movie simultaneously. Starting three days ago, 800,000 copies have been pre-sold on the website, which is almost 20 million." The fat man's face was full of smiles.
"This is OK, but the station will become a video website in the future?" Su Wen was surprised.
"Actually, what's wrong with combining websites and film and television? Good novels are made into movies and TV series. At that time, not only can they sell content, but also box offices and advertisements... The old lady also said that if I can perfectly combine novels and film and television, half of the entertainment industry will be mine in the future. I think what the boss lady said makes sense, so it is already being implemented. In order to operate better, I also try to acquire the largest stations in China, but the cost together may be close to 10 billion."
"One hundred billion?"
"It's only more or less, but if the plan is successful in the future, we will earn back 100 billion, or even 1 trillion!"
"Since Yi Xue doesn't object and you are so confident, then don't worry! I support it whether it succeeds or not."
"I knew you would say that. Then I will talk to those stations first. Once the negotiation is reached, you just need to pay the money."
Su Wen nodded and said nothing.
