Chapter 442

After talking to Jack Orens, the car has driven into Hasbro's head office.

There is no dog's blood story that makes boss Jia wait for a few hours. Boss Jia only waited for 5 minutes in the conference room, and Hasbro's negotiation team has appeared.

This time, the level was quite high. Led by Hasbro's vice president, he came with more than a dozen negotiators. Boss Jia was alone behind him. There was no one except two bodyguards. It looked a little pathetic.

"Mr. Jia came so quickly. We thought you would wait a few more days before you came. We didn't give a careful reception for a while. Please forgive Mr. Jia!" the vice president of Hasbro apologized without apology.

"It doesn't matter. These are details. Don't worry. Let's start the negotiation directly!" boss Jia said faintly. "The air here smells too salty and wet. I'm uncomfortable. Let's negotiate as quickly as possible!"

"OK!" there was a flash of anger on Hasbro's vice president's face, but he soon covered it up and said, "we have prepared a cooperation agreement. If Mr. Jia has no opinion, let's go according to the cooperation agreement!"

With that, Hasbro's vice president handed the agreement to Jia Yapeng. Boss Jia only looked at the first page of the agreement, and his mouth turned up.

The agreement has more than 20 pages, but it is simple to sum up, that is, Daqian will permanently sell all the global toy copyright of Pokemon to Hasbro, and Hasbro will pay $5 million as the copyright fee of Pokemon at one time.

"A very good agreement!" boss Jia nodded after reading the agreement. "But there are some places in this agreement that need to be changed!"

"Please say!"

"First of all, global lifetime copyright is impossible!" boss Jia shook his head. "I can only sign a 2-year license with you, and only the toy copyright in North America and Europe."

"Mr. Jia, are you kidding?" the vice president of Hasbro stared at Jia Yapeng.

"So buying out copyright is not a good plan. We can have other cooperation schemes!" boss Jia smiled. "Why don't we try to cooperate?"

"What kind of cooperative operation?" asked Hasbro's vice president.

"Simply, my copyright is licensed to Hasbro. 30% of the net profits from Hasbro's toy sales belong to our Daqian group!" said boss Jia.

"This way is impossible. Hasbro has never had such a way of cooperation. We can talk about the buyout fees and conditions of copyright, but the way of cooperation sharing is absolutely impossible!" the vice president of Hasbro did not lie, because Hasbro has never had such a way of operation of copyright cooperation sharing.

Hasbro's famous IP toys are basically sold by buying out the copyright. It has never cooperated with the copyright owner, because this is Hasbro's business philosophy, that is, no matter how much money it costs to buy, the control of all toys must be firmly in hand and no other enterprises are allowed to intervene.

So even for the top IP like star wars, Hasbro never considered the way of cooperation and sharing, but directly spent $1.2 billion to buy the copyright of the whole series.

"Mr. Jia, we can give up the toy copyright in the Asia Pacific region, but the toy copyright in other regions must be in the hands of Hasbro.

In addition, we will never accept the copyright authorization in a short time. It must be the exclusive authorization of lifelong copyright. If you think the price is low, you can open it again, but we will not accept any other way! "Said the vice president of Hasbro.

Hasbro seems to have made a lot of concessions, but Hasbro has never had any sales in the Asia Pacific region. The total revenue in the Asia Pacific region in the past 10 years has not exceeded US $100 million, so Hasbro simply gave up the Asia Pacific region. Anyway, this is not their chassis.

However, Hasbro will never give in to other conditions.

"If you have to buy out exclusively and still have lifelong copyright, that $5 million is too little and impossible!"

"That's a lot of money," laughed Hasbro's vice president. "Five million dollars is equivalent to your 30 million yuan. It's a huge sum of money."

"..." boss Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard the word "big money". He covered his stomach and received "I haven't heard such a funny joke for a long time!"

"Keith, tell the vice president how much it costs me to hire you to protect me for a day!" boss Jia said to the captain of the bodyguard behind him.

"Yes, sir!" the captain of the bodyguard nodded, then raised his head and said to the vice president, "Mr. Jia's security cost in our company is $10000 a day. So far, we have protected Mr. Jia for 23 days, and Mr. Jia has spent a total of $300000!"

"Make sense, if I stay in the United States for a year, this $5 million is not enough to pay me security fees. Mr. vice president, I'm here to negotiate with you and I'm here to play with you. If you have this attitude, we don't need to talk anymore!" boss Jia said faintly.

The vice president did not expect that the Chinese tyrant had reached such a level that he was willing to spend $10000 a day to hire bodyguards, which was the preservation fund that Hasbro's chairman was reluctant to spend.

What's more embarrassing is that the vice president's monthly salary is not $10000. Of course, if all kinds of other additional subsidies are included, his annual salary is still $300000 a year, but his monthly salary is definitely not $10000.

"Well, we can discuss the price again!" the vice president said with an embarrassed expression. He is the vice president who has just taken office. Now the most urgent thing is to make some achievements in his post and win the trust of shareholders.

If we can buy the copyright of Pokemon at a low price, it will be the best performance.

So even if the vice president knew that the price of $5 million was too low, he felt that since the other party was Huaxia company, a company from such a poor country, he probably didn't understand the truth. He didn't know how much money the game copyright could earn. When he heard that the price of $5 million, he fainted and sold the copyright directly.

After all, the copyright of transformers in those years was bought for less than 500000 US dollars, while transformers made a profit of 23 billion US dollars. The vice president felt that such rich Fusang people would make the same mistakes. This Chinese who had never seen the world might also make the same mistakes.

It seems that this Chinese still knows the goods, so the vice president pondered, "let's say $10 million! The price has doubled directly, which is sincere enough!"

"Too few!" boss Jia said simply.

"That's 12 million dollars, Mr. Jia. This is Hasbro's greatest sincerity! No other company in the United States can give you this price!" the vice president was also angry.

"Let's go. If it's all sincerity, I don't even count people in Hasbro's eyes! After all, you don't have to be sincere to people!" boss Jia said with a smile.

"This is really our greatest sincerity!" the vice president said sincerely.

"Then we can compare accounts. Now the sales volume of Pokemon in the United States has exceeded 6 million, which means that 6 million children have bought Pokemon game cards."

"In addition, the number of viewers of Pokemon animation also exceeded the level of 20 million yesterday. I'm afraid this achievement can only be achieved by your company's transformers series animation!"

"I checked your company's annual report. In 1984, transformers brought you a total of $450 million in revenue. According to incomplete statistics, transformers also brought you at least $2.2 billion in revenue in 10 years. I think there should be a net profit of at least $1 billion, and $12 million wants to buy a net profit of $1 billion Talk to me about sincerity, "said boss Jia lightly.

"That's transformers. How can your Pokemon be compared with transformers!" the vice president said with shame. "You have the most Pokemon, but you can make some plush toys and sell them to those children who are a few years old. Older children can't be interested in Pokemon plush toys."

"But transformers can be made into various deformable models. The cheapest one is $20 a set. This is to make a lot of profits. Some plush toys can only be a few dollars at most. They can't make anything at all!"

"Your Pokemon will have a net profit of $50 million in 10 years. The price of $12 million I gave is very reasonable and there is no room for retreat!" said the vice president.

Then, the vice president said a lot about the reasons why Pokemon toys couldn't sell for money.

"It seems that I really came to the wrong place!" boss Jia stood up and sighed. He was too lazy to say another word. He turned and left with his bodyguard of $10000 a day.

"Mr. Jia, I think you need to think clearly!" the vice president did not chase out, but said coldly behind Jia Yapeng. "You can get a copyright buyout fee of 12 million dollars if you sell us Hasbro. If you don't sell it, you can't earn a penny!"

"Fart your mother X!" boss Jia scolded directly in Chinese, and the vice president's face showed a question. What is this guy talking about? It should be regret!
