Chapter 11 Net worth soaring

Since the release of Toy Story, the box office has been rising steadily.

In just three days, in just one first weekend, its cumulative box office reached 68.25 million US dollars.

The reputation and influence gradually increased, which made Juke happy. Because the sales of SpongeBob SquarePants House chain in the past three days have exceeded one million US dollars, which is higher than the previous month's turnover.

Zhuke was happy, but the owners of movie chains in four states, including California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, were a little unable to sit still.

That's right.

In fact, as early as one day after "Toy Story", many people found Zhuke and wanted to obtain the perimeter authorization of their state, but they were all scared away by Zhuke's asking price.

"Zhuke, you damn bad guy, you want such a high price, are you slaughtering us as fish? You bastard." The owner of one of the surrounding chain stores cursed.

hehe!

Regarding him, Zhuke cursed in turn: "Get out!"

However.

Just this morning.

The boss who scolded Zhuke in person, along with the owners of chain stores in other states, appeared at Zhuke's doorstep together.

"Good morning, Mr. Wald!"

"I have heard that Mr. Wald is young and promising. When I see you today, it turns out to be so!"

"Little George, aren't you talking nonsense?"

"That's right, Mr. Wald dared to bet that it would be a big hit before the release of Toy Story. With this courage and courage, you little George can't compare."

As expected, they are all businessmen, and their verbal skills are amazing.

Haha, no money anyway, why don’t you say a few nice things?

"Okay, everyone, I know what you are here today. Then I won't go around in circles and try to set the authorized matters today. After all, if you have money, everyone will make money together."

Zhuke didn't have time to go around with them, and he would fight quickly!

If you get the authorized matter one day earlier, you will make money one day earlier.

After all, Pixar Animation will be listed soon. Compared with the profits obtained from peripheral authorization, Zucker obviously values ​​Pixar's listing more, which is ten times more profitable!

Since there was a negotiation, Zucker called Condy immediately.

Kangdi is very capable and has a low charge, so why not?

.........

"Mr. Barnett, congratulations, you have obtained the five-year authorization for the Toy Story movie in Nedahua." Zhuke said with a smile, and pointed to the lawyer beside him.

"Thank you Mr. Wald."

Barnett is the owner of the largest movie-related chain in Nedahua. He owns 19 stores. He used to look down on Zhuke, but now he can only grit his teeth to make money.

"Damn bastard, with just five years of authorization, he actually asked me for $1.3 million and said he would sell it to me at a low price." Barnet cursed in his heart.

After cursing in his heart, Barnett gritted his teeth and looked at Kangdy, who looked "I'm very sincere".

"This guy is also a bastard."

The two bastards joined forces to shock the old foxes present.

.........

"Mr. Wald, we must have a good chat next time we meet and make a fortune together!" said a fat white old man.

His name is Billy Jald, and he is the owner of a movie-related chain in Utah.

Although his chain is not the largest in Utah, and it is not even ranked in the top five, with only 9 stores, Zhu Ke still sold the authorization to him, who made him bid the highest price.

$1.5 million!

"I just like such courageous people who dare to fight Toy Story."

I have to say that Zhuke likes Old Billy's decisiveness a little.

.........

Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are licensed around movies, and Zucker is one state to take one, while in California, where Los Angeles is located, hehe, Zucker is a city to sell.

Especially in downtown Los Angeles, Zucker didn’t want to sell it at all!

"I don't have stores in other areas, but in Los Angeles, what's wrong with exclusive business?" Zhuke is so realistic.

For a whole day, Zucker and Condy were arguing with them.

It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that all the authorizations were sold. Although Zhuke and Condy were almost exhausted, they could not stop their excitement.

$5.65 million!

The results of the battle are remarkable!

"Zhuke, you really made a lot of money. In just two months, the authorization obtained by $800,000 has increased by seven times, not counting the peripheral products you sell these days!"

After everyone left, Condy started chattering.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Zhuke interrupted, "I said, man, I will accept all your praises, but... I want to add money, but I don't even have the door!"

Upon hearing this, Kangdi immediately jumped up and scolded, "You vampire, am I like this? You can doubt my character, but you can't question my professional ethics."

"Well, I'm sorry, I apologize!" Zhuke said with a sincere look.

"Uh..." Kangdi was stunned on the spot and cursed angrily: "You bastard, you really don't add more money!"

After a long dispute, Zhuke finally added $100 to him in a good mood, totaling $2,100 in a service fee.

After Condy got up and left, Zucker couldn't help but jump up.

"yes! This time I'm really making a fortune!"

"The perimeter authorization of Toy Story alone, including local peripheral products sales in Los Angeles in the next month, is expected to bring more than $7 million in revenue."

"Well, Pixar will be available next, so you can't miss it."

That night, Zucker thought a lot.

The most thought is Hollywood.

Yes, Zucker has decided. After Pixar made a big profit, he acquired a small Hollywood film company and then made money by making movies.

"Although I was a logistics student in my previous life, I graduated from the director department. Even if I haven't made a serious movie, it seems that it's not difficult to make some low-cost movies."

It's always Zucker's style.

"Run Lola" is the movie chosen by Zucker.

The movie tells the story of the running Lola getting 100,000 marks in 20 minutes in order to save her boyfriend.

Rolla and Manny are a pair of young lovers in their early 20s. Manny is a gangster who is not doing his job. One day he caused a huge trouble and actually lost the 100,000 mark of smuggled money! Moreover, his boss wants to get the money back in 20 minutes, so the cowardly Manny has to ask Rolla for help.

This film contains elements such as time and space travel, butterfly effect, feminism, etc., and has the potential to sell hot.

Moreover, in 1998, the film was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award and other awards, and also won the 1999 Saint Dennis Award.

"The movie has a good reputation, and the most important thing is that it is cheap!"

That's right, the first thing Zhuke is currently considering is low cost.

"Well, there is also the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants". Since the system has given a complete set of information, it cannot be let go. It must be done as soon as possible."

"I can't say that I will still be awarded the title of "Father of SpongeBob SquarePants" in the future, and I'm so happy."
Chapter completed!
