Super Zoo

Pantra kept chattering, and Su Ming remained expressionless. After he spoke for about thirty seconds, Su Ming picked up the tea cup again.

The beast stood up and said politely: "Mr. Pantera, we understand your company's opinion. Let's discuss it another day."

Pantera was stunned and looked at Su Ming. Su Ming nodded, then stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Pantera, thank you for visiting. Please stay in Yangchuan City for a few days before going back. My assistant will Arrange staff to accompany you, I have too many things to do, so I won’t accompany you.”

No matter how stupid Pantera is, no matter how ignorant he is of Chinese culture, at this point, he also understands.

The young boss rejected him and rejected Disney.

Pantera suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "I promise to God, I never deliberately lowered the price. No company in North America can offer a higher price! There is no other way for you except to cooperate with Disney." You can go! Oh no sir, I don’t understand at all! Can you tell me why?”

After saying that, he put on a posture of "I won't leave until you explain clearly", once again demonstrating the characteristics of an excellent salesperson who will never give up easily.

"Well, I find your persistence quite cute."

Su Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "You Westerners have a Western way of doing business. Maybe you think your method is the best and most scientific, but we Easterners have also developed our own methods over thousands of years. Habit. If you want to measure my friendship in dollars, I can only say that four hundred thousand dollars is far from enough to make friends with me.”

"But……"

Su Ming waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt, and continued: "And when we Orientals make friends, we won't speak in the tone you just said. I think, even in the West, interrupting someone is very disrespectful. Be polite."

"But these are meaningless, the US dollar is the key!" Pantera said.

"For employees at your level, face may be meaningless, but for me, face is sometimes more important than money." Su Ming smiled and said to Pantera, who still looked puzzled, "Cute Mr. Pantera, I understand that you don’t understand Eastern customs, but there is no need to continue our business.”

Su Ming's attitude was resolute. Pantra could only sigh melancholy, shrugged and spread his hands: "Okay sir, maybe I have angered you. Although we can't understand it due to cultural reasons, at least we can stay. My final respect. I respect your choice. Goodbye.

"Goodbye." Su Ming nodded and smiled.

When Pantera walked to the door, he stopped, turned around and handed the barking beast a business card and said, "If your boss changes his mind, you can make this call. Business is business."

"Okay." The beast took the business card and said with a smile, "But I don't think he will change his mind. Please, Mr. Pantera."

After Pantera left, the beast returned to the office and closed the door.

The business was not done, but Weibo was a little excited, "Boss, this kid is too crazy. Teach him a lesson, but he will be relieved. However, he is not talking nonsense. Huaxia's film sold for 400,000 US dollars in North America. It is true." Not low anymore.”

Su Ming nodded: "This little money is meaningless, not to mention that the unconditional priority for the use of animals they proposed is very restrictive. It is impossible for me to give priority to providing animals to Disney in the next year. This means that even if I have to use it myself Animals, too, must give in to Disney’s needs.”

"Then what if I discuss with him and exchange the unconditional priority for priority, or increase the animal's remuneration?" asked the beast.

"It's unlikely. If they are willing, why spend the 400,000 US dollars? When they need it, they can just rent it according to the normal process. Of course, you can contact him again. This guy is right about one thing. If we can maintain a healthy cooperation with Disney, it will indeed be beneficial to publicity.”

Mingshou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Su Ming would still be willing to continue to have contact with the other party, "Huh? How about face..."

Su Ming smiled and said: "Face, face is just skin. As a businessman, how can we not be thick-skinned?"

…

Pantera thought carefully about it all the way back to his residence, but the other party's rejection was not only due to the so-called face, but also probably related to the 'unconditional right of priority'.

As soon as he returned to the hotel room, he immediately went online and contacted the headquarters. The email roughly described the negotiation process and the other party's attitude. Finally, he added his own analysis and asked whether the unconditional right of priority could be relaxed.

Soon, the big boss of the distribution department responded to an email.

The cost of purchasing the issuance rights can be appropriately increased. If US$400,000 is not enough to gain the other party’s ‘friendship’, it can be increased to a maximum of US$600,000.

However, unconditional right of first use is non-negotiable.

Pantera hesitated for a few minutes and then directly made a long-distance call to the BOSS at the headquarters.

During the phone call, BOSS did not relent at all, and revealed a piece of information to Pantera: If the negotiation can be concluded, Disney will immediately start filming a blockbuster starring real animals in the second half of the year. It will require a large number of animals, and this priority is the company's right to use it. real purpose.

"Damn it! These guys sitting in the office are reluctant to spend money and want others to give up their core interests. Do they think the whole world is a fool?" After hanging up the phone, Pantera cursed depressedly. One sentence.

…

Jiaoshou and Pantera met privately twice and finally negotiated the price to 650,000 US dollars, but because they could not reach a consensus on the right of use, the negotiation finally broke down.

Su Ming was not in a hurry.

The domestic box office of Zootopia was more than 300 million, and Disney was willing to discuss distribution. If a movie of 500 million or even 1 billion can be made in the future, it will definitely attract more companies. It's nothing more than waiting patiently.

Moreover, there was news from Long Wu that the box office of Zootopia in several other Asian countries was quite good, causing a strong response.

"It's still a loss. In Japan alone, the box office has been close to 2.1 billion yen, and the box office in South Korea is currently close to 70 million Chinese yuan..." Long Wu's tone was not without regret. He didn't expect that his joke would come true. If the current actual box office is used, the overseas distribution rights may really be able to buy 100 million Chinese yuan.

"I hope that one day, I can make a movie like Hayao Miyazaki's movie with a box office of more than 30 billion yen." Su Ming smiled.

In the following days, Su Ming lived a leisurely life. Every day in the office, he counted the assets of the zoo and thought about how to divest all the assets that could be divested from the zoo as much as possible to prepare for future acquisitions.

In addition, there was good news: the panda Lele's due date had arrived!
