After a few hours of communication with Lucas, he fell into a useless state. Although Lucas wanted to make a movie, he didn't watch him alone if he could.

He depends on the wishes of investors. If the investor thinks that this film can be filmed, he can only shoot it if he is willing to invest money. Even if he has a lot of fixed assets now, he can still have money to shoot movies if he borrows a mortgage from the bank. But he will not do this. The success or failure of a commercial movie is often difficult to say, just like a game launched by Wanhu. Although each one is made with great effort, sales are also divided, and players' evaluations are also different.

Movies and electronic games are both industrial works of art, commercial movies and commercial electronic games, and they cannot be created by a person who works behind closed doors for decades.

After decades, movies can change from black and white silent films to color movies, and video games can also change from 2D to 3D.

The so-called craftsman spirit is useless in the face of industrialized works of art.

Takahashi also gained a lot during the conversation with Lucas. Takahashi's understanding of movies is just an outsider's understanding. Ladies tend to understand some things in general, but they often don't understand the details.

Sometimes, although industry insiders only go around in their own circles and cannot see the complete industry situation, they are well aware of the details.

There are many masters from all walks of life in China, and their amateurs like to do things that seem to be less relevant to their jobs.

And if they are willing to say it, they will know that they generally believe that these amateur hobbies are of great help to their careers.

This is what is called analogy.

The correlation between electronic games and movies is actually quite high, both of which are industrial works of art. The history of movies has been longer than that of electronic games.

The experience accumulated over such a long period of time, even if it is just some details, is of great help to Takahashi.

Takahashi knows several must-see paths for future electronic games, one of which is cinematic. Compared with movies, electronic games have an advantage, that is, players can take the initiative to do various things in the game, rather than sitting there and passively receiving information.

However, this overly subjective operation often makes the game seem a bit weak in building a worldview.

Wouldn't it be better if a game can have the advantages of a movie and the advantages of a game through means such as broadcasting.

Regarding the issue of capital, Takahashi did not take the initiative to invest in Lucas because he had no money, but because he did not think that it is the right thing for Wanhu to intervene in the film industry now.

Nowadays, Wanhu is still a company that handles electronic game-related businesses. If it is much larger, Wanhu is a large-scale group that spans a group, covering electronic hardware manufacturing, electronic game production, distribution, and media publicity.

Since the establishment of Wanhu, Wanhu has been expanding, and has almost stopped for a second.

But Takahashi didn't think there was something wrong with this, because these were all his ideas. Although he had similar plans in his mind, now is not the best time to enter.

Because, it has not yet entered the era of 3D, many of them need to be completed in actual operations, such as miniature models and hand-drawn.

These behaviors are much different from Wanhu's bank. Although Wanhu also has hand-painted, even Wanhu's fighting game "Blood" is hand-painted by computers and revised.

Takahashi is a person who likes to be lazy, and he believes that the best laziness is to have better skills.

Although the outside world knows not much now, Wanhu already has a lot of its own exclusive "black technology".

The effect of these black technologies does not mean that they can turn the meter upside down, but only makes the tools more convenient and can increase the productivity of each employee to a higher level.

After seeing off Lucas, Takahashi listened to Nick's report.

Nick spent about an hour explaining all the situations in North America. The data and situations of several key nodes were also specifically explained.

"You did a good job. If the sales data this quarter meet expectations, all employees in North America will be directly rewarded with one year's salary." Takahashi said.

Nick was a little happy when he heard the salary increase, but he still said restraintly, "We actually didn't do much, most of them happened naturally."

Takahashi said seriously, "If you didn't come to the United States to establish a North American branch, there would be nothing natural. If you should pay, you should increase your salary, but... don't evade taxes."

When Nick heard the last few words from Takahashi, the expression on his face changed somewhat subtlely.

The tax burden in the United States is not too high. Even if you are sick, disabled, or even die, you cannot not pay taxes.

And taxation is even more powerful for these relatively large incomes.

Take Nick himself as an example. His annual salary is about 100,000 US dollars. If paid monthly, he will have to pay about 30% of the tax, and his actual income is about 70,000 US dollars a year.

And if the boss is happy and pays a bonus of one year's salary like now, then he will even have to pay more than 50% of the tax.

For the tax department in the United States, people really sit at home and money comes from heaven.

Logically speaking, tax evasion in the United States, just like China's corruption, is a crime that can be committed to almost anyone.

For example, the tax rate that Nick needs to pay is so high. Although the tax rate of 10,000 households in North America is slightly lower than that, it is also considered high.

If a tax burden of tens of percent is paid in actual terms, unless it is an industry like tens of thousands of households with high profits, it is almost impossible for traditional industries to die.

Takahashi asked, "Did you evade taxes?"

"No...no escape...just avoid taxes! Do this with law...just do it..." Nick's words were a little nervous without continuing the previous sentence, and he seemed worried.

Takahashi frowned and said in a calm voice, "I took the initiative to pay all this tax, and tens of thousands of households are not short of that little money."

For multinational companies, different policies and risks are different in different countries. Just like the United States, although it is nominally the most open market, it is often because you do not touch its core interests.
