I am out of control, I don't have a pattern

Chapter 52: Money-making Tool
The ratings of county-level TV stations across Sanjiang Province are now extremely poor, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for a bill promoted by the Sanjiang Provincial Legislature that made local channels the default channels for cable TV, it can be said that basically 90 percent of county-level TV stations would have died.

If you count them one by one, you can count on one hand the number of county-level TV stations in the province whose content has a viewership rate of 1%.

However, this time, at least thirty county-level TV stations are ready to renew their contracts with "Creative Ability" for the second round of broadcasting.

The reason is very simple. The box office of "Masked Gourd Man: Red Power" was 0.9% at 5pm on New Year's Day, and the worst was 0.3%.

You should know that before the Sanjiang Provincial Assembly promoted the "Default Channel Bill", the ratings of most county-level TV stations were zero all day.

Yes, no one watches it, not a single one. If anyone does, they turn on the TV and listen to it while cooking, and then turn it off after the meal.

"Masked Gourd Man: Red Power"...it's really powerful.

There are many relevant institutions and companies that have obtained this data. The provincial TV station directly intends to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights, but the appetite of the provincial TV station is quite general. Many media groups want to buy "Creative Ability Co., Ltd.", which of course includes all the copyrights of "Masked Gourd Man".

The seven major satellite TV stations all have their own parent media groups, and Sanjiang Provincial Satellite TV is no exception. As soon as the New Year’s Day data statistics came out, Sanjiang Provincial Radio and Audio-visual Media Group planned to give Boss Li a friendly price - 200 million.

His father Ai Shoujin knew about this before Li Jie did.

"No, his children's play with leather suits is worth 200 million?"

Ai Shoujin found it unbelievable. After New Year's Day, he felt a little depressed.

He has never made so much money in his life.

I just adopted this great son, and I haven't provided any help to him yet. Can I just wait until I retire to enjoy his high quality old age?

"How can an old man like you know what children like? My brother interacts with children in the welfare home every day. Who can understand better than him?"

Qin Yuandai rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her husband. She scooped a bowl of soup and placed it next to him to cool. Then she said, "You are really useless. Other people's children can do better by themselves than you can in your whole life. Now, outsiders want to steal the children's work, and you still want to help pass on a message. Tsk tsk..."

"Two hundred million is not a small amount. Besides, that's Sanjiang Media Group. If we have a relationship with them, won't Sanjiang TV be able to broadcast any of my works in the future? This is one of the top seven TV stations."

"You didn't even ask the child if he was willing, so how could you just make a decision on your own? Why? Are you, Ai Shoujin, still thinking about... telling this to your eldest brother as a surprise?"

"..."

After his wife exposed his secret thoughts, Ai Shoujin fell silent for a moment, then thought about it carefully, "That's right, it makes sense, this matter should be decided by my brother himself. He is still young and much better than me. Two hundred million is nothing."

As he said this, he took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to calculate how much "Masked Gourd Man" was worth.

It would be fine if he didn’t count it, but once he did, Director Ai became autistic.

"Oh my god... I am so jealous of this little bastard's talent! God is so unfair, why do all the talents belong to others?!"

"You are an old comrade in your sixties. It's useless to be jealous. You're going to be so anxious!"

Qin Yuandai took the draft paper her husband had written and drawn on, and looked at his expected valuation of "The Masked Gourd Man". The first broadcast on Everbright TV would add up to a little over 10 million.

This does not include Internet TV and Internet video online. If we add the current mobile terminals, based on the quality of "Masked Calabash Man", Ai Shoujin estimates using the average of previous mid-to-high-end works that it is entirely possible to sell one million per episode.

But is that the end?
Director Ai is not some small-time jerk. Although he has no talent, his options are quite broad.

If the foreign language copyright of "Masked Gourd Man" is split and sold, the combined population of Japan and Korea is a market of 200 million. Based on the purchase price in the local market, a conservative price of US$300,000 and a radical price of US$3 million could be considered.

The specific price that can be finalized depends on how the negotiation proceeds.

Anyway, Director Ai felt that if he were allowed to negotiate, he could negotiate about two million US dollars from both Korea and Japan.

In addition, "Masked Gourd Man" does not focus on appearance, so there is also room for negotiation in America or Europe, which happens to be his strong point.

Because media groups from Europe and the United States often went to Guanzhong to shoot documentaries in those days, he personally helped his students shoot the humanities documentary "Dialogues with the First Emperor" and negotiated a fantastic price of US$25,000 per episode.

That was 20 years ago. Now he has a good business. Since his director is called "guarding gold", it is impossible to downgrade to "guarding silver", let alone "guarding copper" or "guarding iron".

He has his own copyright management company, but he usually imports more films and then hands them over to the Chang'an Dubbing and Production Company, which then packages them and hands them over to TV stations in the Guanzhong area.

I earn some hard-earned money, not much, but not too little either.

But compared to Li Jie, who started with 200 million...

There's no comparison, there's no comparison at all.

Even if we don't mention the buyout price of Sanjiang TV Station, Li Jie's current operation has made him earn several million.

Before he met his father-in-law, he only earned a hundred yuan a month.

Can you compare?
Not even close.

Taking into account the surrounding development, Ai Shoujin knew that Li Jie also opened two small factories, one of which was called "Yao-A-Yao Crafts". Now the sales of the factory have also increased, and it can earn more than 10,000 yuan a day.

Including the peripheral products that were commissioned before, there are millions of them...

Gan!
Old man Ai feels like he has been reborn as a dog in this life. What do children nowadays eat to grow up?

After the New Year's Day holiday, Li rode an electric scooter and took Su Mengyao to school. They didn't go to school on weekdays. The counselor Guo Rong felt sorry for them. How could an excellent student like Li be so addicted to studying?
Just prepare well for the competition.

At the same time, I helped Li Jie get a meal card for the faculty and staff cafeteria. The food here is richer and better, but of course the price is also more expensive.

Now, every day when it’s time for dinner, Li takes Su Mengyao out to eat and drink.

There was barbecue in the middle of the day. How could I complain?

It was comfortable for him and Su Mengyao to go to the faculty cafeteria, but it was uncomfortable for the three girls from the School of Cultural Industries.

"Why doesn't he go to the student cafeteria but to the staff restaurant on the third floor?"

"Her girlfriend has very fair skin..."

"Don't talk about whether it's free or not. Hurry up and think of a solution. We have received the money from Mr. Li. He urged us to pay this morning."

"How about... going to the elevator?"

"Elevator? But the elevator is crowded."

"It just takes a lot of people, and when we squeeze in, we can find an opportunity..."

"Yes."

"Ok, deal?"

"Ok, deal!"

The three girls then quietly followed them to the restaurant on the third floor to see how long Li Jie would take to eat. When they saw that Li Jie and Su Mengyao had ordered a bunch of barbecue and cold dishes, they were stunned.

This won't take an hour?!

Will there be people in the restaurant besides flies by then?
However, the girls soon breathed a sigh of relief, because Li Jie kept poking the barbecue Ku Ku and putting the meat into his mouth. At that speed, a tray of meat slices was finished in ten minutes at most.

it is good!very good!

In ten minutes, wait for your trial!
What a good-for-nothing named Li!
