Chapter 242: Expanding the Film Library

author:

Wonderful Novel Network, the latest chapters are updated the fastest! “Dear gentlemen and ladies, I announce that the advertisement for the Super Bowl of the 32nd NFL (Professional Rugby League) annual championship game officially begins!”

As the host finished speaking, hundreds of people all over the scene answered the applause.

The Super Bowl that hundreds of millions of people watch is such an attractiveness!

The extremely huge exposure is the dream of all companies.

"The midfield advertising time for this Super Bowl will reach three minutes, that is, 180 seconds. 6 30-second main advertising spaces and 12 live venue advertisements will be opened this time."

"First, the first 30-second advertisement will be launched, with a base price of US$200,000, and the price increase will not be less than US$10,000 each time."

The auction host shouted passionately, his hands constantly waving in the air.

Starting price of 200,000?

To be honest, this price is really expensive, after all, the advertising time is only 30 seconds.

"Hiss~~!"

"The bottom price this year is $50,000 higher than last year's $150,000."

"NFL Major League is going to slaughter us like fat sheep!"

Suddenly, a large number of corporate representatives quietly retreated.

The starting price this year is as high as 200,000 US dollars, so the final price of the hammer will not exceed one million US dollars!

Not everyone has the financial resources that Zhuke has.

"Sher~~!"

"Don't come if you don't have money, a bunch of stingy people who are reluctant to spend money."

At this moment, a burst of sneer suddenly came from the crowd sitting upright around him.

Suddenly, the man who said this attracted the attention of many people present, and Zucker and Bezos also looked in the voice.

"Who is he?"

Zhuke frowned and looked at the young brown-haired man who was doing it in the back row, under 30 years old.

Upon hearing this, Zhuke's chief assistant Alexander shook his head.

"I know."

Bezos smiled and said, "He is the owner of Mitchell. He is a portal website similar to Yahoo. Two years ago, he was an auto mechanic and worried about three meals a day. However, he was lucky enough to catch up with this Internet era. His portal planning has been favored by an investment bank on Wall Street. Now it is developing well, with the market value of Mitchell's portal as high as $300 million."

"Oh, you actually know?"

Zhu Ke became a little confused, but also a little sad.

Portal!

In the late 1990s, there was definitely a big deal to build a portal website!

In just a few years since Yahoo was founded, it has a market value of nearly US$40 billion, which has already said everything.

Zhuke had planned to do it before, but it caught up with the Asian financial crisis, so Zhuke gave up.

"Zuke, don't underestimate me. I have a lot of knowledge about the recent new Internet companies in the United States."

"Oh, by the way, I know even if you invest in 30% of Google's shares."

Bezos's face was filled with pride.

Zhu Ke's expression froze, and he raised his thumbs up and said, "No wonder you can succeed. You are awesome in this!"

"Of course." Bezos shook.

Lucky?

Zhuke doesn't like this title.

Because in the eyes of many people outside, Zhu Ke, like the boss of the Mitchell portal, is also the lucky one of the era.

In America, a person who has never been to college or has not been through higher education, even if you have a net worth of billions, in the eyes of many people in the upper class, you are a lucky person after all.

"snort!"

Zhu Ke said secretly: "When one day I will become the world's richest man, I will see who dares to look down on me."

Why did Weisger of icq turn against Zhuke?

The main reason is that he looked down on Zhuke without receiving higher education. He scoffed at several development suggestions that Zhuke once mentioned.

In his words, huh... how much can you understand if you are a poor student?

.........

"300,000!"

"That's a big deal, I'll pay 500,000!"

"600,000!"

In a blink of an eye, the auction price of the first 30-second advertisement continued to rise.

Many companies feel powerless and announce that they will give up. However, more people join the competition, and most of them are Internet companies.

Before the Internet bubble, Internet companies were indeed rich and powerful.

“$1.3 million!”

The first 30-second advertisement of Super Bowl 32 was sold for $1.3 million. The person who paid this price was the owner of the Mitchell Portal.

"Look, I've said a long time ago, don't you fight with me. Now, I won after arguing, right?" The owner of the Mitch website made a fuss.

This sentence aroused the glaring of many people around.

"This damn guy is really arrogant." A middle-aged man couldn't help but whisper.

Zhuke shook his head.

Mickey website?

Haha, just a garbage portal.

Anyway, Zhuke had never heard of it in his previous life.

"I guess after the outbreak of the Internet bubble, it will either go bankrupt or be acquired by other companies." Zhu Ke thought to himself.

Under the Internet bubble, let alone a small shrimp like Mitchell, even giants like Yahoo have suffered heavy losses.

The Nasdaq's Dow Jones Index fell nearly 3,000 points, you're kidding.

.........

In the following time, Zucker and Bezos were no longer watching the wall and joined the auction ranks.

Zhuke won the third 30-second ad in one fell swoop, with a transaction price of US$1.19 million;

Bezos won the fifth 30-second ad, with a transaction price of US$1.26 million;

In the end, in less than an hour, all the Super Bowl 32 advertisements were sold, with a total price of up to $11 million.

It doesn't sound like it's too much.

In 2020, the 30-second Super Bowl advertisements cost as much as US$5.6 million in a single advertisement; the auction has reached 77 advertising spaces, and the advertising part is directly profitable of US$120 million.

But don't forget, it's 1999 now!

The US dollar has not depreciated to that level of extreme low price.

The advertising fee of US$11 million in 1999 was directly higher than that in 1998. And a total of 18 advertisements, 13 of which were income from Internet companies.

Internet companies are rich and powerful, and they are enough to see them before the crisis breaks out.

"These damn Internet companies~"

"These damn rich people!"

"Arrogant, keep being arrogant~"

"I'll have to see it next year, how many Internet companies can I come to?"

Zhuke couldn't help but curl his lips.

Zhuke really felt a little sad about buying a 30-second ad for $1.19 million, even if it was a Super Bowl ad.

You should know that in the original time and space, a 30-second advertisement for the Super Bowl in 2000 can be handled with $500,000 to $850,000.

.........

Swiveling Los Angeles.

"Boss, Mr. Taro Hashimoto wants to see you." Alexander said.

"Oh? Let him come in."

Zhuke frowned and immediately put down the report in his hand about the upcoming release of "My Grand Greek Wedding" on Valentine's Day.

Soon, Taro Hashimoto came in.

"Boss, I'm looking for you this time because I hope the group can set up a new department - the family entertainment department." Taro Hashimoto went straight to the point.

Zhuke pondered for a few seconds, "Family Entertainment Department? What do you mean is that the group wants to acquire the relevant film rights of other film companies and expand the company's film library?"
