"Can I ask, what is the current contract price of Starz and Netflix?" Li Rui asked.

This is not a commercial secret, and it is probably reflected in Netflix's financial report, but Li Rui has not paid attention to it before.

Sure enough, Albletcher did not hide anything and said very directly: "30 million magnesium per year."

"Thirty million?" Li Rui opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Albletch quickly explained: "This amount is the authorized price for the copyright package, including Sony and Disney's many movies and TV shows. It has created great economic benefits for Netflix in the past few years, and the price is not

It's high."

Li Rui said: "I don't think it's high, I don't think it's too low... I even suspect you are doing charity for 30 million magnesium."

Albletch obviously agrees with Li Rui's statement and said happily: "Yes, this price is a bit low at the moment. So we are looking for partners who can give reasonable prices for the next round of long-term cooperation.

.”

Li Rui thought to himself, you are a monkey? If I give you a ladder, you will climb it?

In 2008, Netflix's streaming business was not as prosperous as it is now. No one can do anything about Netflix's future, whether it is Tehesting himself, many of Netflix's investors, or even Internet practitioners.

To make accurate judgments, you can only take one step at a time.

At that point when the overall Internet service and concept have not yet fully supported the streaming media, Netflix was willing to buy the authorization in Starz at a price of 30 million magnesium, which is actually a very reasonable transaction, and it can even be

It was said that Netflix gave Starz an extra income for nothing.

As for the increase in value with Netflix's rise, the fundamental reason is that Netflix's business is doing well. It is not that Netflix takes advantage, but that Starz is taking advantage and acts good at taking advantage.

But businessmen are all so shameless. Li Rui has long been used to it because he himself is like this.

"What is the so-called reasonable price?" Li Rui asked.

Albletch said: "Three hundred million magnesium."

"Wow." Even though Li Rui spent money like money, he rarely bargained in any project. He was shocked when he heard this price.

Three hundred million magnesium dollars, is it more?

If we talk about the rich resources contained in this copyright package, there are actually not many. After all, it is Sony and Disney. The two major companies have tens of thousands of movies and nearly 100 million hours of TV programs, which is indeed very valuable.

But if we consider that the previous contract between Starz and Netflix was 30 million yuan per year, the increase of ten times in four years would be a bit scary.

Even if Netflix is ​​already in a state of momentum, it has a strong momentum to subvert the entire industry, but after all, it is losing money every year, and even if you want to be this sucker, you may not have the strength.

Li Rui estimated that Starz must have found herself after the talks with Netflix broke down, perhaps because she heard about her generous spending a lot of money, or perhaps she simply added some pressure to Netflix.

No matter which one it is, since it is here, let’s talk about it carefully.

Li Rui smiled and said, "Netfei doesn't agree with this price?"

Albletch obviously knew that the price was a bit inflated, and said ashamed: "We do have differences in prices... but we are considering protecting our high-quality brand strategy and maintaining the appropriate price for our unique important content.

With more and more programs in copyright packs over the past four years, we think the price of 300 million magnesium is very reasonable.”

Li Rui smiled.

They are all foxes that have been a thousand years old. Isn’t this set a bit too tender when you play with me?

Talking about a thousand words and ten thousand, Starz relies on its unique copyright to ask for a price. Netflix must pay back the money. In fact, both sides need each other very much. It can be said that a relationship has been formed where two benefits are beneficial, and if they divide, they will lose.

, But on the one hand, Starz wants to maximize its profits, but Netflix wants to reduce costs, and it is impossible for both sides to reach a win-win situation, which is embarrassing.

"Can I ask again, when will the authorization contract between your company and Sony Disney be? "Li Rui thought about it and asked again.

"Our contract lasts until 2019," Albletch said.

"Oh..." Li Rui nodded, which was consistent with some of his memories.

In 2019, Disney took back its external authorization and began to make every effort to enter the streaming media market. Through acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions and integration of its resources, it soon became Netflix's biggest competitor.

If you calculate carefully, Starz still has about seven years of authorization, which is 2.1 billion yuan per year based on the annual 300 million magnesium yuan.

Li Rui suddenly asked curiously: "What is the current market value of starz?"

"Ah?" Ovibrec didn't understand why Li Rui asked this, but he answered quickly, "It's about 2.5 billion magnesium."

Buy the copyright for seven years, 2.1 billion.

If you buy the entire starz, it will be only 2.5 billion.

Which one is more cost-effective? Anyone who has been to elementary school can figure it out.

The only problem is that Li Rui has been a little tight recently.

After coming to Magnesium Country, he spent money like flowing water and didn't treat it as money.

Buy the Rockets, 920 million magnesium.

He pulled the Kushner family for 500 million magnesium.

Beverly Hills mansion, $160 million.

Purchase the copyright of 15 Marvel movies in Disney, worth 100 million magnesium.

It cost 260 million to acquire Lions Gate's stock.

The investment and acquisition of the Lionsgate Film Library in the "Hunger Games" series is expected to cost 100 million magnesium.

Invest in Tesla for 500 million magnesium.

In comparison, going to the HW jewelry store to spend 15 million magnesium dollars is simply not a big deal.

As for the three million Huayuans to Huang Zhengtou, the hundreds of thousands of magnesium that "helps" Claire, the millions of magnesium that increase capital for snapchat, the one million magnesium that provides public relations for Harvey... and all kinds of fragmented expenses

Li Rui was too lazy to count.

Just a rough calculation, Li Rui spent as much as 2.5 billion magnesium on this trip, but he only made 800 million magnesium from the stock market at the end of November.

A net loss of 1.7 billion magnesium!

In August, Li Rui made less than 3 billion magnesium from the magnesium stock market.

During the crash of the Swiss franc, Li Rui only made 800 million yuan.

In addition to the 800 million a while ago and all kinds of fragments in the middle, not counting the island country earthquake, Li Rui made more than 5 billion from the magnesium market this year. He vomited half of it, which was really a bit painful.

.

The landlord's family has no surplus food. Look at the balance in the account, and the cash flow has dropped below 5 billion. This day is a bit tight, which makes Li Rui hesitate.

Spend your own money in everything, and this situation cannot continue. You should raise funds and use other people's money to invest and make money.

Li Rui thought about it for a while indignation before saying to Alblet: "Basein is indeed very interested in the copyright packages in your company, but 300 million magnesium is too expensive and we can't afford it.
