When he got home, Xiao Yunhai told Zhao Wanqing about what had happened.
Zhao Wanqing immediately laughed and said, "Hubby, if I were Franklin, I would never see you again in this lifetime. The first time, you cheated me of tens of billions of USD. This time, you cheated me of two billion USD. I even lost the whole of Asia to you. Steyr Networks really suffered a double loss when they offended you. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Well, they were unlucky. If they had taken control of me, I'm afraid the result would be the same. They might even be more ruthless than me. However, they won't have the chance. Even if all my companies are destroyed, I won't compromise with them. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "That's why I said you're not a qualified businessman. You won't be able to be one in this lifetime."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Personality determines one's fate, it's really not wrong at all. Honey, I'm going to screen 'The Grandmaster' on June 6th. What do you think? "
The World Cup opening ceremony was on June 26th. "The Grandmaster" was 20 days earlier than that, so it wouldn't be delayed.
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "No problem. Hubby, didn't you say you were going to organize a large-scale party? Do you want it to be in America or Hua Xia? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "'The Grandmaster' is a classic Hua Xia kungfu film. Of course, it's going to be in Hua Xia. However, we can't let go of America either. I'm going to invite Hua Xia and Western singers to perform. We'll also mix in some kungfu performances. What do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "That's a good arrangement. However, you'd better invite them quickly. Otherwise, they won't be able to make it. "
Xiao Yunhai calculated the time. Hua Xia was around seven o 'clock. Hence, he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Uncle, 'The Grandmaster' will be screened globally on June 6th. I'm going to organize a large-scale party on June 2nd on Yunqing TV Station …"
"Senior, 'The Grandmaster' is going to be screened soon. I need your team to perform a few shocking Kung Fu performances."
"Teacher Ye, I wonder if you have time on June 2nd? I would like to invite you to our Yunqing TV Station's performance."
"Elliot, don't be busy with your album. Do me a favor. Come to Hua Xia on June 2nd …"
"Brother Deng, on the 2nd of June, show off the Bajiquan that you've been training so hard. We'll organize a large-scale party to promote Hua Xia Kung Fu."
"David …"
That night, Xiao Yunhai made dozens of phone calls and invited many famous stars from home and abroad to participate in the performance. Among them, there was no lack of heavenly singers, best actors and best actresses.
After receiving Xiao Yunhai's invitation, everyone expressed that they would definitely attend.
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai signed a contract with Paramount and released this earth-shattering news to the public, causing an uproar in the industry.
"F * ck, did I hear wrongly? Kungfu Xiao actually cooperated with Paramount? Did the sun rise from the west? "
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This sentence is not wrong at all."
"Good guy. Kungfu Xiao actually used fantasy special effects to force Paramount to make a huge concession without risking anything. He's simply an idol. "
"Kungfu Xiao once again tricked Steyr Networks. Sigh, the difference in IQ. "
David Steyr saw the netizens' comments and was so angry that the root of his teeth hurt.
Originally, he wanted to use the new special effects technology to take revenge on Xiao Yunhai and take revenge on 3D. He didn't expect that before he took revenge, there would be new hatred.
Xiao Yunhai sold the Fantasy special effects patent to David Steyr. This was the worst news for the other entertainment companies in the world.
Previously, it was Xiao Yunhai who covered the sky with one hand, and now it was Steer Internet Company. They were all masters who ate people without spitting out the bones, and the most miserable ones were them. Every year, they had to pay high patent fees to the other party.
Based on Steyr Networks' style, the price was probably much more expensive than Xiao Yunhai's Fantasy special effects.
As expected, Paramount Pictures announced the patent fee for the new special effects technology on their homepage. It was 150 million dollars a year, which was 50 million more than the original price. This caused strong dissatisfaction among many entertainment companies. However, they had no choice. If they wanted to film, they had to use other people's special effects technology. They could only swallow their grievances.
However, in less than a day, the film companies in Europe and America started to fire at Steyr Networks. The reason was that Xiao Yunhai had asked someone to post a message on the Fantasy special effects company's homepage.
The patent fee for an Asian entertainment company was only 80 million dollars a year. When the two were compared, Steyr Networks immediately became the target of public criticism.
They didn't dare to talk to David Steyr, but they all called Franklin.
"Mr. Franklin, don't you think you've gone too far? Mr. Xiao's offer is only 80 million USD, and you've doubled it. Are you bullying us? "
"Mr. Franklin, you're not discriminating against us, are you? If it was a poor place, we wouldn't say anything. However, the economic situation in Asia is almost catching up with Europe and America. Hua Xia is even richer than us. Kungfu Xiao sells the same thing for 80 million, but you sell it for 150 million. This is really regrettable. "
"Mr. Franklin, is Paramount preparing to be alone in Hollywood? We've already discussed it. If you don't lower the price, we'll move all the post-production of the movie to Hua Xia. Paramount will bear all the consequences caused by this. "
In just one night, Franklin received dozens of calls from big shots in the entertainment industry in Europe and America.
Franklin angrily called Xiao Yunhai and asked sternly, "Mr. Xiao, what is the meaning of this?"
Xiao Yunhai had just taken a hot bath when he heard Franklin's ear-piercing voice. He asked neither hurriedly nor slowly: "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this? "
Although Franklin knew that Xiao Yunhai was doing it on purpose, he was still so angry that he almost fainted. He said, "I'm Franklin. Mr. Xiao, why are you … "
Before he finished, Xiao Yunhai interrupted him. "It seems that Mr. Franklin didn't remember what I said yesterday. Please recognize your status. You're just an employee. You'd better be more respectful. Also, our statuses are not equal. If there's anything, ask your boss to talk to me. "
After that, Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone.
Franklin was so angry that his face was extremely ugly, but he had no choice but to call David Steer.
"Boss, Kungfu Xiao set the price of the new special effects patent at 80 million in Asia. It's much lower than ours. I just talked to him and it was very unpleasant. If you want to talk to him, you might have to do it yourself. "
David Steer frowned and said, "Talking to him is just a waste of time. The biggest possibility is that we'll be scolded by him for a while. This guy offered 80 million to find fault with us. It's impossible for him to lower the price. "
Franklin asked, "Then, what should we do, boss?"
David Steer thought for a moment and said, "Lower the price to 100 million. It'll be considered as an explanation to the entertainment companies in Europe and America."
Franklin agreed and got someone to post a new message on the homepage. The patent fee was lowered from 150 million to 100 million. Although it was still 20 million more than Xiao Yunhai, it was still within the acceptable range. After all, the new special effects technology was developed by Paramount. It was normal for it to be more expensive. Xiao Yunhai was purely a troublemaker.
