"Forty million!" Ye Qing said a price that shocked Kimbass.
"Why? The alloy tree at the science and technology exhibition is only two million." Kimbass felt that he had been cheated.
"Because it's a batch product. It's a real object. We can use special technology to scan the tree and get the initial blueprint."
"Also, there's a small amount of titanium in the alloy, so it's naturally more expensive. But at the same time, it has better anti-rust properties than stainless steel." Ye Qing raised the wine in the cup and slowly shook it a few times: "If I say this, you should understand."
"I'll charge you forty million for the first dragon. If there's a second dragon, I'll only charge you ten million."
Ten million for the second dragon?
The representative of Kimbass thought that ten million was not expensive. The weight of the dragon and the base of the cliff would definitely be more than five times the weight of the alloy tree.
"Also, we can sign a formal contract. We'll deliver the dragon within five days. For every day that we break the contract, we'll deduct 20% of the total price."
The representative of Kimbass said that he needed to ask for instructions. He was very tempted by the offer of a quarter of the price for the second dragon. Also, beyond his expectations, the dragon could be shipped back to China in five days.
The representative excused himself and ran to the bar counter at the side to order a fruit-flavored margarita. He sipped the wine while making an overseas call.
After a glass of wine, the representative of Kimbass ran back. He offered fifty million, but he had to get the three dragons.
There was nothing to argue about. Ye Qing was only willing to offer fifty-five million, but the three dragons would only take seven days to complete.
The first contract was happily finalized. Of course, the currency of the contract was RMB. It did not matter if the other party offered USD or Euro, as long as they could pay the same price according to the exchange rate.
The flowers custom-made by Bansai Company were much cheaper. They were 1.5 meters in size. The ones in the hall were only 500,000. The mini ones that were used to decorate hotel rooms and were given to high-end members were only 20,000.
The price was so low because Bansai Company had a large number of custom-made flowers. Just the ones in the hall were 50, and there were even more mini ones.
As the price and delivery time were finalized, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more and more lively. Perhaps it was because they felt that it would be a waste not to have a good meal, so these guys drove the Remy Martin with all their might. Anyway, they were going to stay for the night. Even the driver got into his stance and drank one cup after another.
At eight o 'clock, Ye Qing, along with Kong Tao and several representatives of the Disney Company, sat in front of the bar counter and ordered a glass of juice.
"Mr. Ye, have you been to Disneyland before?" The executive vice president of Asia, Nivitt, clinked glasses with Ye Qing with juice.
"No, don't adults bring children to Disneyland?" Ye Qing smiled and said, "I've seen all the Disney cartoons and hairstyles."
"Then Mr. Ye must have seen the Castle of Dreams at the beginning of the Disney cartoon, Alice in Wonderland, the ancient tree that connected the magical world, and the Dawn Breaker in the Legend of Venia."
"And the famous Snow White and Cinderella."
Ye Qing was familiar with everything that the vice president of Asia, Nivitt, said. The Legend of Venia was even more familiar.
"Mr. Ye, since dragons can be made. Then the Dawn Breaker's dragon boat, the ancient tree, the Castle of Dreams, Alice, Cinderella, and Snow White, are there any problems? "
"Of course!" Ye Qing took a deep breath. Disney was a giant in the entertainment industry. If he could work with them, just producing Disney princesses would be more profitable than robbing a bank.
But Ye Qing knew himself well. This industry was eaten by countless people all over the world, and it was made of metal. It was only suitable for viewing, not playing with.
Imagine if a little girl got angry and used this doll as a weapon. It was guaranteed to be stronger than a hammer.
As expected, the vice president of Asia, Nivitt, confirmed Ye Qing's thoughts.
He told Ye Qing that Disney had six theme parks in the world, as well as an ocean park and an animal kingdom. They prepared a batch of Disney themed props that were as exquisite as the alloy tree.
Although there were many types of props, everyone only knew one type, including Disney princesses.
To be clear, the Barbie Princess was the most famous princess. It had been popular for decades and had become the image of America. There were even black versions and adult toys. Unfortunately, the Barbie Princess did not belong to Disney, but to Mattel.
Disney was facing a similar situation as Princess Barbie. They had produced too many related toys and tried all kinds of materials.
Now that they saw a magical alloy tree at a technology exhibition, of course they wanted to try it.
Using this kind of alloy to produce exquisite Disney-themed props would definitely attract more friends. It would also let the friends who were tired of looking at them find something new.
Disney theme parks all over the world had different themes. Making a batch of unique alloy themed props was naturally better than making a bunch of them. Also, making a bunch of them was not economical.
There were more than 70 types of alloy props. Other than the Magic Tree, Castle of Dreams, and Dragon Boat, which were larger in size, the rest were smaller than two meters.
Ye Qing said it was simple. But the more exquisite the props, the more details they had to pay attention to. The price of the models would be much higher.
"We have the models and blueprints. They are all 3D blueprints. There is no problem with the accuracy. I believe we don't have to make too many changes." Nivitt, the vice president of Asia, smiled proudly like a queen who saw Snow White eat a poisoned apple.
Ye Qing finished a glass of juice and said casually, "Then we'll pay according to the size. I promise the details will be exactly the same as on your blueprints. But if you want to make it as realistic as the alloy tree, it won't be enough. The faces don't matter. Children will recognize cartoon faces."
"But … if you use blueprints, won't the hair and clothing of the characters be gone?"
"Details, details!" Nivitt's smile froze. That's right. Cartoon faces were fine. Children would definitely not recognize a complicated face. So, wasn't it all about hair and clothing to show the details?
Disney princesses had been around for decades. With the improvement of film technology, Disney had remade many classic cartoons. The princesses in the cartoons were getting more and more beautiful.
Think about the dresses worn by the Disney princesses. They were not dresses. They were wedding dresses.
Think about the hair of the princesses. They were not hair. They were classic hairstyles from international fashion magazines. Without this detail, what was the difference between them and normal metal products?
The face of the main character in Barbie was just so-so. Who would look at her face? The children were doing dress shows and combing their hair.
"Then … can you add these details?" Nivitt did not give up. "For example, Cinderella's evening dress …"
"Of course. Whether it is Rapunzel's long hair or Cinderella's evening dress and crystal shoes." Ye Qing snapped his fingers. "Of course, the more details there are, the more expensive it will be."
Nivitt swapped the fruit juice for wine and drank it with a conflicted expression.
It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could not avoid being ripped off in the modeling.
Luckily, clothing and hairstyles were very common in daily life. Modeling did not require imagination like a dragon. It could be scanned with high-tech equipment and then modified.
Ye Qing gave a fixed price of five million for each of the seventy or so alloy props.
The total was 375 million. This was the first time in Ye Qing's life that he had spent more than a hundred million on a purchase. Ye Qing even took the initiative to round it off and gave him 350 million.
"I have two requirements for the contract. First, confidentiality. Second, without our authorization, no second product that uses Disney's image is allowed. "
Ye Qing clinked glasses with him to show that there was no problem.
…
At half past seven, in a banquet hall not far away, a beautiful girl with skin as white as jade, wearing a broken diamond accessory, was whispering to the publicity director, Huang Ranxia, beside her. She wore a crystal wine glass, and her jade-like fingers were tapping on it.
Director Huang Ranxia said that before the banquet started, she seemed to have bumped into Disney's Asia Executive Vice President, Mr. Nivitt.
Mr. Nivitt and a bunch of foreigners who looked like multinational executives were all following behind a young man. That young man even knew Li Huaxing's secretary, Zhang Mei. She heard that the young man was very impressive.
Director Huang Ranxia could not describe exactly how impressive he was. She said that Chairman Li Huaxing treated him as a VIP. For example, Li Huaxing was also invited to this banquet, but Li Huaxing sent a secretary to attend.
If that young man invited Li Huaxing, Li Huaxing would definitely come faster than the secretary.
"Li Huaxing's secretary is going to toast later. We'll go with her and ask her to introduce us," Director Huang Ranxia whispered.
"What? Is it as exaggerated as you say?" Xue Ninggong was wearing a beige evening gown with a pink belt. She was as beautiful as Princess Ariel in White Disney. "I happen to know Mr. Nivitt. Since he's in the same hotel as me, I naturally have to go and greet him."
"That young man, I want to meet him."
"What's his name?"
"Mr. Ye. That's what Zhang Mei calls him."
At this moment, Secretary Zhang Mei stood up and winked at Director Huang Ranxia, indicating that she was going to toast in the banquet hall next door.
