Auctioning snuff bottles is a move in Roman's plan. Even if it is not a snuff bottle, it may be other items. The main purpose is for the Hamilton brothers. But Roman's cleverness lies in the clever use of snuff bottles to complete the plan with one stone and two birds. , You can kill two birds with one stone without acting up.

But Roman did not expect that the owner of the snuff bottle was Lan Li, which was also an unexpected gain.

If Roman is really interested in collecting information from Sisyphus Pictures, then it’s not a secret that Renly and Andre are close friends and jointly founded Sisyphus Pictures. Later, Roman again instructed his assistant to participate in guitar and music scores. Auction, then a reasonable explanation was obtained.

One can even further guess that, perhaps, Roman hoped to use Andre as a bridge to make Lan Li.

Of course, this is just speculation. What is the specific truth? It is estimated that Roman has no leisure time to explain to Lan Li one by one.

"I now start to wonder whether Sisyphus Pictures is in control of Andre's right to speak, or whether you are the real talker." This sentence seems meaningful: Roman hopes to find the person in charge to talk to, and Lan Li took the initiative to deliver it to the door—he hadn't even had time to find Andre.

Or maybe, Roman deliberately didn't look for Andre, knowing that Renly would inevitably fall into the net.

From this perspective, Lan Li had already lost his first move before the conversation started. After all, Roman came prepared, and Lan Li was passive.

Facing Roman's temptation, Lan Li was a little surprised, but he did not panic. Instead, he asked, "I never knew that you were interested in movies." As for Roman's guess, he also pretended that nothing happened.

Roman didn't worry, and said slowly, "I am interested in all things that make money. Acting is your hobby, and making money is mine."

"Ha." Lan Li chuckled lightly. "The benefits that movies can bring are far inferior to oil; and creating a film company is a far cry from acquiring a football team."

"Don't you know? The annual revenue of Warner Bros.'s film division reached $240 million last year, more than twice that of Chelsea." Roman lightly dropped the bomb.

"But that is Warner Bros. Sisyphus is not Warner Bros." Lan Li said for granted: Not to mention that the investment in the early stage of the film is even more unimaginable. Sisyphus Pictures wants to gradually grow up. The investment is definitely not comparable to a football team.

Roman did not speak immediately, but looked at Lan Li quietly, "I never knew that the famous Lan Li-Hall was so timid?"

This is provocation.

But Lan Li didn't mind, "My boldness has never been shown in business." Acting? Extreme sport? Vanity Fair? He has no problems with these, but it is definitely not a business field. He is a layman who has no knowledge of stocks, and he is not even sure about the calculation of risks.

Roman held the whiskey and shook his head slightly, "The news I have heard is definitely not the case."

Lan Li realized that Roman came prepared, he could not speak easily, otherwise he would fall into passiveness, so he quietly waited for Roman to speak.

Roman also did not continue to sell Guanzi, "I heard that Sisyphus Pictures is preparing to get involved in online video playback platforms? In addition to London, you also went to Berlin and Venice. I was curious, where is your next stop?" , Roman picked up the whiskey and took a sip from his mouth.

Sure enough, he came prepared.

In fact, Lanly’s moves in London in March were very secretive, but after all, he still couldn’t hide it from the caring people. Something about Hall Ventures and Sisyphus Pictures would leak out sooner or later. Roman lives in London now and he can know those Rumors are not an accident.

But the problem is that Roman can actually guess Renly's movements to Berlin and Venice, and there is a deep meaning behind it, which is very rare. Maybe Roman doesn't know the specific truth yet, but he has sniffed out the anomaly, which in itself shows that his business acumen is terrifying.

If it’s for the Don Quixote channel, then things make sense.

Netflix is ​​gradually expanding its footsteps. Although it has not been able to achieve results for the time being, discussions in the industry have begun to emerge one after another.

Just like the rise of Facebook at the beginning, in fact, the industry is generally not optimistic, but Silicon Valley's venture capital institutions can be insightful and open the situation. The same is true of online streaming now. The industry has not paid attention to it at all, but the sights of Silicon Valley have also gathered and discussed.

Who could have imagined that five years later, Netflix’s annual revenue can compete with Disney—the Disney that dominated the North American market by virtue of the two major mountains of Marvel and Star Wars; five years later, Netflix’s market value could already compete Google, Facebook, Apple and other giants are on par-are they truly among the top companies in the world? Even the venture capital funds in Silicon Valley did not expect such a scale. This is also the most wonderful part of the network economy.

Renly is a rebirth, so he knows; but Roman? This is very interesting.

However, looking at it from another angle, Roman did not get involved in the film industry in the previous life:

For one thing, this is not his area of ​​expertise. After all, it is still involved in artistic creation. This is his shortcoming. At Chelsea, he hired the entire professional team to make relevant decisions, and he tried his best to avoid his non-professional influence on the team's decision-making; but football is one of Roman's enthusiasm after all. Even if he does not participate in the decision-making, he knows the team. What happened; but in film and art, he really has no say. Even if a professional team is hired, he can't participate in it.

Roman is a personality who doesn't like things out of his control.

Secondly, he did not encounter the opportunity. The film industry in the 21st century has formed a relatively stable structure. Outside of the six major Hollywood film companies, it is difficult to see rising stars join the battlefield. DreamWorks failed to succeed, and Lionsgate Films did not succeed. No; and Netflix's rise is more like a beautiful accident. When it rises, it will be too late for external intervention, because the whole momentum has been formed, and even a forced acquisition cannot ensure the rate of return.

The acquisition of Chelsea was at the beginning of a financial trough.

However, the situation in this life has undergone subtle changes. The rise of Lan Li has become the biggest accident, and Sisyphus Pictures, which is like a seedling, has shown the potential of towering trees, which made Roman see an opportunity.

I have to say that Roman is very, very smart, and may not know anything about movies, but his business sense is beyond doubt. Even Disney and Warner Bros. have not seen it. Even Sony Pictures and Sisyphus Pictures are close together. He still did not see how much cooperation had taken place, but he did.

Even if it is mixed with gambling, Roman's keenness is still amazing.

Staring at Roman, who is harmless to humans and animals, his shy smile with a trace of restraint seems to be unaware of the weight of his conversation - or to say, for this self-made tycoon among the world's top tycoons. In other words, the topic currently being discussed is indeed "not enough".

But the question is, should Renly cooperate with Roman? Especially with Chelsea as a reference object?

"Cannes." The disturbing thoughts just flashed in his mind, and then Renly showed his own wit, gave an answer along the way, completely avoiding the cues in Roman's words.

This made Roman couldn’t help but chuckled, “You’re a funny guy.” After that, his smile closed a little, and he said with a sincere expression on his face, “I just think this is a very interesting proposal. It’s like when Apple moved computers to mobile phones. Who could have predicted that this would completely change our lifestyle? Now, if we can move TV and movies to mobile phones as well, it must be very interesting to break the constraints of space. One thing."

In one word!

Romain really is a businessman with a keen sense of business and a great vision for the future...maybe the traditional aristocrats still think the world is full of copper, but he can grasp the pulse of the times, and more importantly, grasp the destiny Pulse-otherwise how could he become a billionaire at the age of thirty? And rely entirely on their own business capabilities, not Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and other types that use their minds and technology to stay at the forefront of the times-opportunistic, sometimes more than talent and technology difficult.

Without going around, Roman went straight to Huanglong and stated his true purpose: he hopes to invest in Sisyphus Pictures and the Don Quixote Channel.

And capital, this is precisely what Renly is lacking now-Roman is not a consortium, and his wealth does not need to be approved by the shareholders meeting or the board of directors. This is also the biggest difference between him and Wall Street; at the same time, Chelsea can The reason for the full rise within ten years.

I have to say that this is a very, very attractive proposal.

After finishing talking ~lightnovelpub.net~ Roman did not go any further, but stopped, because they all knew that this kind of cooperation couldn't get a result in one conversation, and Lanly couldn't agree directly, Roman It also needs to be investigated. Things are far from that simple. Today is just the beginning, and then Roman again joked, "It seems that I am more suitable for the civilian style, and the aristocratic sense of ritual is not used."

This is self-deprecating. Lan Li also temporarily gathered up his chaotic thoughts and said with a smile, "The so-called civilians and nobles are after all abiding by a customary rule. I think you should not be bound, but abide by your own rules. ."

"Oh." Roman laughed loudly and waved his hand again and again, "I abide by the rules, I abide by the rules very much, I am a good citizen who abides by the social and legal rules very much, remember? I always think that the lawyer is mine. Friends are also the group that needs respect the most."

With this interpretation, I can only interpret the meaning carefully by myself, which made Lan Li also laughed, "So, do I need to introduce my lawyer friend for you again?" This is equivalent to saying that today’s business conversation That's it, Matthew can come on again.

Roman did not refuse, "Of course, of course! This is my honour."
