Chapter 660 Anime Copyright
After returning to Los Angeles, Han Xuan led his market to conduct large-scale procurement.??{?[
I visited Maldives once the winter of the previous year and knew how inexpensive the supplies there were.
Like sunscreen and snacks, they are essential for living in the Maldives for a long time. In addition, medicines must be bought. When they are sent to a hospital, they may have been braided long ago.
Prepare any of the hats and summer outfits for Anya, and buy some essential items with Isabelle and Ramirez.
I went to the set of filming "Day and Passion" at night. All the scenes of Pattinson, the son of London's deputy mayor, were over. He still stayed on the set to do odd jobs. I wonder if the car rental agency in London could still drive.
The film will take about a month to finish. The director has strict requirements on the film. Anyway, the budget is sufficient, so he doesn't mind wasting film and wants to make a truly good movie to take this opportunity to become famous.
Rest overnight in Beverly Hills.
The next day was a sunny day, and there was no cloud within sight, and the sky was light blue.
The leaves of palm trees on the roadside flutter in the wind, and the train dragged the carriage full of fresh fruits and drove north.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Grandma Han Xuan had just returned home from the Maldives, but Han Xuan left and did not meet by chance.
On the way, I found an animal clinic and helped Fat Ding buy some airsickness medicines for spare. The doctor originally planned to sell a few tablets to Han Xuan, but when I heard that there was a brown bear in Kodiak Island, I thought about it and changed it to a large bottle.
Arriving at the VIP room at Los Angeles International Airport, the customs officer came to help Anya and Ramirez apply for their passports. The documents were ready, and only a photo was left.
Han Xuan Kexi has shown that customs can use computers to query the identity data of two people, which means that it is not far from the full electronicization of population information, and that electronic trade payment tools can officially take the stage.
After eating some noodles, I received a call from Hasbro CEO, Mr. Allen Hassenfield, and Han Xuan answered and asked: "Good morning, Allen.
I was on my way to vacation. Did the company's performance statement come out last year?"
“Yes, I handed the statement to the head office.
From selling Marvel's hero toys in the second half of the year, plus selling Harry Potter's props on Halloween, performance has continued to grow.
You could get over $79 million in dividends last year, and I would put that money into the company again.
But I don’t want to talk about this. You asked me to collect copyrights for well-known animation characters before. During this period, I found some information, so I want to tell you.
If you disturb you, then wait until you have time, don't worry.
I wish you a happy holiday, Han.”
Since Han Xuan held Hasbro, he has never given up on the acquisition of scattered equity, kicking out most of the small shareholders. Now his shares account for 80.12% of the total shares of Hasbro.
The other shares are scattered in the hands of more than 30 small shareholders, including Hassenfield, who are optimistic about the company's prospects and are unwilling to sell them anyway.
The dividend can be distributed to more than 79 million US dollars, which means that Hasbro's net profit last year had exceeded US$100 million, an increase of about 22% from 1993, and its market value will also increase accordingly.
Han Xuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the two moving Gulfstream planes, and said to Hassenfield: "No, no, no, it doesn't matter.
I haven't gotten on the plane yet, they are being repaired, you tell me."
“Okay, by investigating people’s favorite cartoon characters, I selected three that I would like to sell.
First it was Garfield.
This comic has been published every day since 1978 and has a wide reading group. It was made into an animated film in 1982.
The copyrights of the comics are in the hands of United Comics, and the Pas company established by the founder of Garfield Comics.
The peripheral board rights belong to the Pas Company. The animation and movie copyright was sold at that time, but now it belongs to someone else.
If you want to acquire copyrights other than the copyright exercise of comics, the other party gave me a quote of $16 million."
"You can agree to this. You can talk to Pas Company and buy it a little cheaper. What else?" Han Xuan asked.
"The other is the copyright of "Cat and Mouse" in the hands of MGM Films.
Except for movies and animation exercises, all other things belong to MGM Films, except for Time Warner.
The board of directors of MGM Films has the intention to sell, but the price is relatively high, and it will be sold at least 55 million US dollars.
The copyright of the "Rabbit series cartoon image is authorized by Time Warner to Mattel, which will not expire until 1997. They are willing to sell the full copyright to us for US$110 million.
If the movie "Cat and Mouse" is added, the animation exercise will be exercised in total for $170 million."
Even though Han Xuan was mentally prepared, he felt dizzy when he heard the price.
Garfield is fine, but "Cat and Mouse" plus "Baby Bunny" is just copyright, and it is worth nearly four islands of Seralvo.
Islands are dead and cannot make much money, while these old cartoon stars can make money.
In the 1990s, cats, mice, rabbits, pigs, etc., were a bit out of date compared to Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Winnie the Pooh, who were about the same age as them.
I have not had an outstanding new work for many years. I am all relying on the old capital of that year and will be forgotten by the children of this generation.
This price does not include copyrights for previous works, but is just buying future exercise rights and peripheral copyrights.
After tasting the sweetness of Pokemon such as Pikachu at the end of 1994, Han Xuan ordered Hasenfield to collect information on these cartoon images.
For the playground, there are also grandfather's film companies, Hasbro, Blizzard Games, etc., stockpiling available materials.
It took about 200 million US dollars to buy Garfield, cat, mouse, and Bugs, and Han Xuan was in a state of shortage of money again.
The money he had before was useful, and he bought things everywhere and invested it.
But now I want to buy them.
Hasbro has left enough spare funds and can withdraw about 50 million US dollars.
When searching for places that can squeeze cash in your mind, most of its subsidiaries are in a state of spending money, such as Starbucks, Han's Automobile, and Hope Technology. Don't pay for injecting funds, it's a good thing.
After thinking about it, only Xueshan Printing Factory is the most likely. The money earned by "Pirates" and "Resident Evil" are left in the company without any use.
