Chapter 27 This is the hush money
Chapter 27 This is the hush money
As a reborn person, even though he knew the general direction of the future, Wang Hao did not like gambling.
It can also be said that the more independent-minded a person is, the more risk-averse he or she is.
So Wang Hao interrupted Chen Mingyong before he could speak.
"Mr. Chen, do you know why I didn't contact Nokia, Motorola, or even Sony even though I could have used the relationship with the movie channel?
Because they are too big!"
Wang Hao asked and answered himself:
“Both you and I know the importance of this design.
Of course, it is just an idea based on technological fantasy, but it is this kind of creativity that makes it more precious.
For those large companies, this level of precious creativity is enough to make them take risks.
Besides, this is just an idea. Once it is known by others, it will be worthless.
Those big companies could easily look at this idea and go it alone without us.”
"So you chose BBK?"
Chen Mingyong had already guessed what Wang Hao wanted to say.
“Indeed, BBK’s size is not as large as those multinational companies you mentioned.
We don't have the technology to convert your design in a short time.
So what you can judge us by is not the idea, but whether this idea will appear in front of the CEOs of those big companies.
But your movie will be released eventually. By the time your movie is released, won’t this idea be known to everyone?
So why would we spend an extra million on this?"
Facing Chen Mingyong's question, Wang Hao smiled slightly, drank a sip of coffee, and then explained:
“If it was only shown on movie channels, the chances of the mobile phones in this movie being noticed by those big companies would not be as high as imagined.
Even if they have seen the movie on TV, it would be very difficult to establish a project based on the movie images without the design collection in your hand.
What’s more, these are foreign-funded enterprises. The local branches do not have enough authority and need to report to the head office, which creates another layer of separation.
As for domestic mobile phone companies..."
Wang Hao shook his head.
“I don’t think they have the ability to identify talent like Mr. Chen.
So even after the movie is released, you will still have a buffer period.
During this buffer period, you cannot complete the research and development.
But as far as I know, there are some new technologies and patents abroad that are compatible with this new mobile phone.
As long as you can get those important patents in your hands, BBK will have a ticket to enter the smartphone market."
Chen Mingyong nodded subconsciously when he heard this, and at the same time looked at Wang Hao deeply.
“I have to say, at your age, it’s really amazing that you can think of these things.
In this case, I have no choice but to pay the money today.
Otherwise, if I delay, this thing will probably be handed over to other companies in the future."
Wang Hao smiled but did not answer.
Chen Mingyong sighed in his heart, knowing that he was completely at a disadvantage in this negotiation.
"Okay, if that's the case, I won't keep you in suspense."
He looked at Wang Hao with a serious expression.
"Director Wang, I personally value your idea very much, so one million is one million, but I have a small request." "What request?" Wang Hao asked.
"This implanted brand name needs to be changed."
"Mr. Chen is so courageous!"
Wang Hao understood the meaning of the song and, combined with the other party's future development experience, he immediately guessed that after Mr. Chen got the idea of the "future mobile phone", he might have made up his mind to leave BBK.
But what does this have to do with him? From the looks of it, the one million is a sure thing.
As for whether this idea was sold at a loss?
As he had just said to Chen Mingyong, creativity is the least valuable in this country.
Wang Hao is not a practitioner in the mobile phone related industry, nor has he established the entire upstream mobile phone industry chain like a certain richest man in Fangda.
He doesn't have the ability or money to transform this idea into an industry, so he can only maximize the profits within his own capabilities.
What Chen Mingyong paid for was not this idea, but a hush money to buy more time for his future plans.
Both parties were well aware of this point and reached a consensus on the spot.
Next, as to how to draft a film sponsorship contract, Wang Hao, not being a professional lawyer, naturally had no idea.
But just because he doesn't understand it doesn't mean others don't understand either.
At least the advertising department of the movie channel must have a standard template.
Therefore, when everything was settled, Wang Hao did not drag it out. He took Chen Mingyong directly to the office building of the movie channel. With the help of Zhang Weibang's relationship, he called their legal staff and directly drafted and signed an advertising placement contract.
Such behavior also made Zhang Weibang admire Wang Hao greatly.
For the one million advertising placement fee, he could easily sign a contract with Chen Mingyong in private without telling Zhang Weibang.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the general advertising placement fee is only two or three hundred thousand.
It's completely reasonable to give tens of thousands of dollars as a kickback.
Now that the advertising placement fee has become 100 million, the commission will have to rise accordingly.
However, after receiving some training from his uncle, Wang Hao's horizons and mind have broadened a lot.
He understood that there is no end to making money.
Not to mention that they helped you, you were still secretly hiding it from them. This is not fair.
For example, if his uncle gets promoted in the future, won’t he need a group of people to help him?
Zhang Weibang manages the advertising department. He is the God of Wealth in the station and his position is very important.
Now if Wang Hao spends a little more money to build relationships, it will be of great help to his uncle's career in the future.
What's more, the other party has so many advertising resources, which will be very useful for Wang Hao to attract sponsorship and investment for his future movies.
So the contract was successfully signed with the satisfaction of all three parties.
"I didn't expect that you could earn 100 million for a product placement, Xiao Wang. This is almost as much as the cost of making the film."
Seeing Chen Mingyong leaving in a hurry, Zhang Weibang couldn't help but praise Wang Hao who was sitting next to him:
"If I had known this, I should have asked you to take my position as the deputy director of the advertising department."
"Uncle Zhang, you are exaggerating. If it weren't for your face, how could a general manager like him come to see a college student like me so easily?"
Wang Hao praised with a smile, and at the same time asked another question cautiously.
