In front of half a brick, everyone was stunned. 8 first release

Old DuPont's eyes were open like goose eggs and looked at the half brick, and his eyes were about to fall off. He wouldn't expect that I would reply to these guys in this way.

And the guys behind me, whether it was Griffith or Stiller, whether it was Gans or Coolidge, all had strange smiles on their faces. At this moment, these guys felt unprecedented pleasure!

"Old DuPont, have you ever thought about why I wouldn't answer you before you asked me such a question? Haven't you always used to changing positions and thinking about things? Why, this time I won't change it?" I looked at Old DuPont, sneered a few times, and then said, "For example, what you said is like a robber robbing a family repeatedly. Then one day, I found that his gun was thrown in this family, and then went to find someone to ask for a gun with a smile. Old DuPont, you are not a stupid person. Come on, tell me, what do you do if you are the head of this family? Should you give the gun to the robber and let him continue robbing, or will you raise the gun and blew his head with a shot?"

I stared at Old DuPont and saw cold sweat coming out from his forehead.

"Andre, can you really not think about it anymore? Maybe this matter is an opportunity for both parties to reconcile. Maybe the family returns the gun to the robbers and they will be at peace with each other?" Old DuPont avoided my question and showed a stiff smile on his face. "Old DuPont! Do you think our DreamWorks people are easy to bully! The boss's metaphor is still inappropriate in some places. Our TV distribution network is not that gun. This thing is ours! It's okay!? I believe it! Boss, give me the brick!" Gans stepped forward and picked up the half of the brick and raised it in his hand with great momentum.

Old DuPont was so scared that he quickly retreated to the back, and then looked at me with a begging gaze.

"If nothing else, I'm going to make a movie." I stood up from my seat and yawned.

Seeing my actions, Old DuPont has realized that there is no room for negotiation on the matter of borrowing Lockettke TV's national distribution network on the state television station. This disappoints them.

But it can be seen that these guys came here this time, obviously not just for this matter.

"Andre, don't worry, we have other things to discuss with you." Old DuPont smiled.

"What else?" I sat down again and lit a second cigarette.

"Although we can't borrow the National Issuing Network, we can still discuss other matters." Old DuPont finished speaking and looked at John Rockefeller, a little.

John Rockefeller, little, didn't speak much since he came in. Perhaps he knew that in such a situation, it was the best choice for him to remain silent. Because just by the grudge between him and us, any words of his will inspire our anger.

John Rockefeller, little, nodded in the eyes of Old DuPont.

It seems that when these guys come to the ground, they must have the best plan for related No. 1 and No. 2. One does not work. Then the other one.

"Although Andrei National Television is now in the process of construction, we need to solve some basic facilities in advance. This is the basis for a TV station's survival. You also know. But for us, there is a patent issue in the middle." Old DuPont licked his lips.

"Mr. DuPont, are you discussing with us about the use of our patents by the state TV station to submit patent fees to us?" Coolidge immediately guessed the purpose of old DuPont.

"Yes, yes." Old Dupont nodded, then locked his eyes on me again.

As expected, one plan doesn't work, then another one.

For national TV stations, if we can successfully borrow our national launch network, it is obviously the best thing. If we fall into this matter, then for them, the most important thing is the patent fee.

Unlike movie patents, the number of TV patents is particularly large. The reason for this is that TV and movies have completely different operating methods. The patents of movies are calculated based on specific movies. One movie is sold when you make one movie, but TV is different. You can't pay it once a day. And whether it is in terms of scale or economic profit, movies cannot be compared with TV, so the problem of patent fees in TV is naturally very important.

The most interesting thing is that Lockett TV was the only one in the United States before, and its patents were not ours, so naturally there was no patent issue, so there was no precedent in this regard. But this time it was different. The emergence of state TV stations led to the first case of TV patent rights issues.

Because there is no precedent to follow, there are naturally no conventions in this regard, so how to negotiate patent fees is completely unconceptual.

In this matter, our Lockett TV obviously has the advantage. The patent rights are in our hands, so we can naturally speak out. As for the national TV station, we can only bargain as much as possible.^^Go to read the latest novel^

"Andre, let's calculate that there are about twenty patents in the TV field of Lockettke TV. These patents together basically cover all aspects from TV launch to TV production and broadcasting. Because there were no disputes in this regard before, we want to hear your requirements in this regard. Of course, we know that the patent fee must be paid." Old DuPont put on a generous look, which made me funny.

He was like the stingy Grandet, standing in front of the person who was asking for money with his purse, speaking loudly, but he felt extremely sorry for his money.

"We have indeed encountered such a situation before in this regard." I nodded, pondered for a moment, and then looked at old DuPont and said, "Mr. DuPont, I guess you must have ideas in this regard. Why don't you tell us first?"

"Okay! This is good!" Old DuPont nodded quickly. It seemed that my thoughts had reached his heart.

"Andre, we know that your Lockettke TV station has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in researching these patents. It also took a lot of time and it was very hard. We know this very well." Old DuPont patted his chest.

I laughed and signaled him to continue talking, saying the key points.

"It's like this. After discussion and decision, our board of directors has decided that in terms of patent fees, we must consider the results of your labor. Do you think this is OK? We pay you $200 million in patent fees every year. How about it?" Old Dubon solemnly stretched out his two fingers and shook them in front of us.

Ha ha ha ha.

His words made Griffith, Coolidge and others laugh again.

I was so laughing that tears almost came out.

"Andre, why are you laughing at? I'm talking about 200 million! 200 million!" Old Dupont shook his two fingers and opened his eyes wide. He thought we had heard it wrong.

"Yes, 200 million, Mr. DuPont, you are so generous!" Coolidge said sarcastically.

Old DuPont was unhappy and stared at Coolidge and said, "Mr. Coolidge. Is it less than 200 million!? Two hundred million US dollars, you can build a big company! And it's 200 million a year!"

"Also, you have to settle the accounts for us. Our national TV station has just been established and has to establish a launch network. Basically, they invest money in it, and the profits are very small. Let's put it this way, let's calculate it. Our annual profit has not given you much patent fees!" Old DuPont shouted loudly, as if they were at a loss.

"Mr. DuPont, don't play tricks on us in this regard. I want to remind you that we have more experience in running a TV station. At the beginning, the TV station may not make much money. But once the business grows, the money will be made more! For you, I'm afraid that in the second and third year, you will be able to recover funds like a snowball. At that time, the $200 million is not worth mentioning at all for the huge profits you make. Mr. DuPont, you are very unkind at this point. If you follow your proposal, it means that the patent we have worked hard to study will become your money tree in the end."

As the operator of Lockettke TV, Coolidge is very clear about this aspect, so DuPont and others' wishful thinking can naturally be hidden from Coolidge.

The wishful thinking was revealed, and a silly smile appeared on the old DuPont's face. The old man was so thick-skinned. The bastards from the state TV station sent him to negotiate. It was so cunning. If someone else had talked to me about this, I would have asked someone to throw it out. How could I say, he is Natalia's father and my son Waboli's grandfather, what else could I say!

"Andre, then we will add some more for you, add more..." Old DuPont frowned, first stretched out two fingers, thought for a while, and then took back one: "I'm adding 100 million to you, 300 million! 300 million a year!"

He is even better than Grandet than Grandet!

"Natalia said you love money all your life. If anyone wants to make money from you, it is equivalent to plucking hair from an iron rooster. This time, I have seen it." Looking at the old DuPont's appearance, I couldn't help laughing.

"That's right, without this ability, how could DuPont Belmondo have such a big family business?" Old DuPont raised his chin and came over and said to me very flatteringly: "Andre, how about it? For the sake of Natalia and Vapori, just promise me."

"No, no, this is a business, we should not involve private matters. You said that the consortium and the family should be separated. When you said that in the consortium, you would not take care of me just because I am your son-in-law. The same goes for me. In this regard, I would not let you get the price just because you are Natalia's father and Wapoly's grandfather, and I will make it all the same! "I shook my head like a rattle.

Old DuPont looked at me, dumbfounded.

He might not have imagined that there are people in this world who don’t recognize each other in this regard like him.

Coolidge and others saw the two of us looking like this, and they all burst into laughter.

"Andre, then what do you want to do?" Old DuPont used all kinds of tricks, and he still couldn't get any advantage here, so he could only expect my subordinates to show mercy.

"Well, we are not embarrassed by you. We will do this." I crossed my legs: "The first year was $1 billion, and from the second year, fifty percent of the profit you earned from the patent fee was 50% plus one billion until our patent rights became public property in 1938."

"What!?" After hearing what I said, Old DuPont bounced off the chair and screamed, if the people outside heard it, they would definitely think that someone had died in the tavern.

Not only him, but Chaplin, Sisidimille and John Rockefeller Jr. all stood up.

"What's wrong? I think it's less? Why don't I add more?" Looking at these guys, I finally felt a sense of terror! It's so fucking fun!

"One billion in the first year! Starting from the second year, the patent fee is 50% of the profit margin plus one billion in US dollars! Andre, you are just a lion's mouth!" Old DuPont's lips trembled!

The state TV station has just been established, and now it has only a base. Everything has to be newly established from scratch. Although it has the support of five consortiums and the backdoor of the federal government, it is already very good to be able to cover the TV station's programs in the first year. The profits made by the land will not exceed 100 million US dollars. Paying a billion-dollar patent fee in the first year is definitely a loss-making deal for them.

From the second year onwards, national television stations will definitely enter a stage of rapid development. After that, their profits will expand at a geometric level. We obviously cannot summarize this in a fixed number, so 50% of the profit plus one billion US dollars is what satisfy us.

But our satisfaction does not mean that the guys on the other side are satisfied. In fact, even when I mentioned this condition, I felt a little cruel. This is either a quarrel, or a robbery.

Coolidge, Griffith, Gans and others looked at me, their eyes straightened. They knew I would be ruthless against these guys, but they would never have thought I would be such ruthless!

I have always been a person who can give people convenience and can leave a way out for everything. But now, I will never do this because I know. My style of conduct also depends on the people and places. I cannot be lenient at all for these people. I want to be a robber!

"Andre Corleon! You are simply a robber! You might as well go and grab our bank! It would be more convenient to get money!" The little John Rockefeller, who had not spoken, finally broke out.

"Andre, you are really too cruel! You are too cruel! Such conditions are simply robbery!" Old DuPont shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll change it." I laughed.

"Yes, everyone is kinder, be kinder." Hearing what I said, Old DuPont immediately became energetic.

I rubbed the sun and said, "Then it, the first year is one billion, and from the second year, you will have another billion in profits every year."

"What!?" The smile on Old DuPont's face suddenly stiffened and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Andre Corleon! You are cruel enough! You are cruel enough!" The blue veins on the neck of little John Rockefeller burst out, his face extremely ferocious.

I sneered twice and said, "If you talk to me again, I'll add it."

"Mr. DuPont, add it further, it will be 70%." Gans reminded old DuPont with a wicked smile.

While looking at these two people, I set off the lighter inside and waited for their reply.

I know that the conditions I mentioned are not ordinary ruthless, but I know even more that TV patent rights are not like vegetables in the vegetable market, and they are sold everywhere. In the United States, there are only ones in the world. If you don’t want them, just go out and play with mud! If you don’t obtain a TV patent rights, you will be a bad TV station! I don’t believe that national TV stations will be deflated for patent fees. If this is the case, it will be better.

But I am full of confidence. Even if I offer such harsh conditions, they will agree. The reason is very simple. Although it is possible that whether they can make money on national TV stations is a question, the reason why national TV stations can be established is not just to make money, but the most critical role. It is public opinion and political propaganda. So don’t say that I make them hurt, they just scrape their bones. They probably have to agree in the end, because they have no choice other than that!

It feels so good to watch the enemy being forced toward the cliff!

Cool!

"Andre Corleon, I want to file a lawsuit with the Patent Office! I want to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court! There is no such thing as you who charge patent fees! There is no such thing as this!" Little John Rockefeller roared loudly, and Old DuPont quickly dissuaded.

"Mr. Rockefeller, as a president, is the most lawyer, I want to remind you that even if you file a lawsuit with the Patent Office, even if you file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court, in the end, your lawsuit will be beaten back because we have the final say in this matter!" Coolidge's words made John Rockefeller's head droop.

Coolidge is right. The Patent Office and Parliament announced that we had the right to own TV patents until 1938. In other words, during this period, we had the power granted by law on the issue of patent fees. How much is required is our business. Others only have the right to choose, not how much to pay, but choose to use or not. If not, please give us so much patent fees. There is nothing to say about this matter.

"Mr. Rockefeller, don't you have five major consortiums? Each consortium stomps its feet and the United States will shake three times. You still care about such a little money. If it is expensive, I don't think it's used. This will save a lot of trouble." Looking at Little John Rockefeller, I took a puff of cigarette.

"Bandit! Bandit!" Little John Rockefeller looked at me. He was so angry that he couldn't speak at all, and he was just talking in his mouth.

"That's right! I'm just a robber! Have you been a robber few times this year? As long as you are, we can't take a turn!" I was furious!

"I'm a bitch. If you don't agree, get out! Darren! Bring a few people in and let them go out!" Gans had a hot temper and couldn't stand others squirting in front of me. He immediately stood up and raised the brick in his hand.

Outside, Darren Oliver had been guarding there with more than a dozen factory guards. Those guys had been anxious to wait, one by one, and they were eager to come in. When they heard that Gans was taking care of them, they all broke in like a wolf and headed straight for John Rockefeller and the others.

When dealing with these people, they will never be vague and will definitely let them "get out" out.

Looking at a group of factory guards who were like wolves and tigers, Old DuPont and others all turned pale!

Such a scene made Griffith and others standing behind me so happy that they almost fainted.

Since Roosevelt came to power and became president, our Rockettec consortium has been stabbed in the past six months. After repeated efforts, they have been forced into the corner. Everyone has been full of anger. Today, they finally made a move and become a robber!

If others don’t say it, the old man Griffith is the softest in his heart, and he can’t stand anything unfair and even more violent. But this time, the old man stood beside him with a smirk on his face, and he was very fond of his eyes.
