"What else are you saying! I know Klaus from Leica in Germany very well, but I heard that the Blackstone Group in the United States has been in contact with him and should be willing to acquire it! I advise you to sign the contract for a long time. A little, otherwise you will be subject to various restrictions in the future!"
Daddy Bumi suddenly revealed this information to Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan was surprised: "Blackstone? That famous private equity fund?"
"Yes, those guys are very ambitious. In recent years, they have been recruiting famous companies and products from all over the world!"
"This information really cannot be ignored. Forget it, please contact me for me. I will handle this matter!"
Just like his last contact with Mercedes-Benz, Liu Qingshan didn't wait long before he received a call from Germany.
But the caller was none other than Klaus himself, the current chairman of the Leica Group and the real owner of the group.
This person is obviously very interested in Liu Qingshan. He sounds like he would be happy to cooperate with him even if he didn't have the relationship with Daddy Bumi.
Of course Liu Qingshan would not be confused by this Western way of talking, but his tone was full of admiration.
Klaus is not a specific manager, so he does not know any information about DJI, this future customer in the East, but his attitude is very clear, that is, he firmly supports it.
After hearing that a long-term purchase contract would be signed, his attitude became more enthusiastic: "Since Mr. Liu is the one who is involved in this matter, just ask your people to come to me and I will handle it personally!"
He is not stupid, since Liu Qingshan mentioned that this company has a relationship with him and will be used in the filming of film and television dramas.
Combined with the fact that this factory produces drones, he immediately understood the importance of the new shooting method.
Liu Qingshan could also tell from the other party's tone that Leica also needed a long-term and large contract to change its current operating situation, otherwise it would not let people finance it.
And while talking, Liu Qingshan had already learned through Xiaoxing that Blackstone would become Leica's largest shareholder in four years, and also knew that they were currently facing some shortage of funds.
So the first time after hanging up the phone, he looked at Mao Shaochong: "You go there with Mr. Wang's people, and don't forget to call Haitang and Tu Mengxi again. The task of the three of you is to find out about the current Leica If possible, we in the snow region can also take part in the difficulties we are facing!"
Then he looked at Wang Tao: "Mr. Wang, just shout this order boldly. I'm talking about the period of time, not the price. We, Xueyu, will be your backing for the insufficient funds. Xueyu's capital investment is not for You DJI, not Leica, if you trust me, just do as I say! Of course, it is also necessary to sign a contract in advance!"
Wang Tao and Li Zexing looked at each other and then said, "No need to sign anything, we believe in Mr. Liu!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Before we invest the funds later, we will make an agreement with you in advance, and we will never take the opportunity to seize more shares!"
It was already midnight when they spoke. Liu Qingshan asked to say goodbye and called Haitang on the way.
Haitang is currently the vice president of Xueyu Entertainment, but in the future Liu Qingshan will promote him to the group management. It would be appropriate to approach her for this matter. After all, to get into the top management of the group, you need to have certain performance.
Moreover, in the early days when Xueyu was interested in investing in Leica, its main purpose was in shooting in the entertainment industry, so it was reasonable to ask her to take charge of this matter.
He intended to let Haitang join the group and open up a new department so that he could cooperate with various manufacturers through Leica cameras when smartphones become popular in the future.
Being woken up from her slumber by her boss in the middle of the night, Haitang was not impatient at all, because she, always shrewd, realized the importance of this matter through Liu Qingshan's few words.
Even if she doesn't know the boss's deeper purpose, she at least understands that Xueyu Group currently has no relevant projects in place. It's not surprising that she thought of the possibility of being reused in such a short period of time.
Liu Qingshan called her to explain the matter and reminded her to bring
Because of the legal team, although he does not know the current real situation of Leica, it is also his usual cautious style to be prepared in advance.
After all these were explained, Jin Xishan had the opportunity to ask about the purpose of such a plan. After understanding the mystery inside, she couldn't help but sigh: "I thought I already knew a lot about you. Through this operation, I have a better understanding of your business acumen." , and gained a new understanding!”
Liu Qingshan is not overly modest: "If we want to create an entertainment dynasty that truly belongs to us, we need strength reserves in all aspects. This is equivalent to DJI's future production line. There is only one rivet and one screw without any need for downstream. Only when the assembly line is outsourced can they truly own their own industrial chain!"
"Well, only when the initiative in every aspect is in your own hands, can you get rid of the dependence and constraints of others to the greatest extent!"
"Apple will build a factory in the mainland sooner or later. We don't ask for participation in other aspects. At least we can have a role in the configuration of the camera. And with DJI drones, once our next variety show recording is successfully completed, The drone shooting method will catch up from behind. We are not involved in DJI’s production business, but we can seize the drone sales network in the entertainment industry!”
"I just wanted to ask, where did you get these technologies? Why have I never seen you find anyone to develop them?"
"Didn't I tell you before, I know a group of hackers who are active on the Internet. They have various abilities, including cracking foreign high-tech libraries!"
"How is this behavior different from stealing?"
"It depends on who is targeted. These technologies all come from Europe and the United States. You also know that Western technology has always been very tight against our country, China, as if guarding against thieves, and even has a deep contempt and hostility. In front of me, Do you still feel guilty towards such a person or force?"
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I still have a bottom line. At least I won't pay attention to mature technologies, and the other party's protection methods are also stricter. So most of the technical data I get are semi-finished products! Take DJI as an example, or maybe I understand it as another test for me. If I don’t have the ability to perfect my technology, for them, this kind of good thing will never happen again in the future.”
"I can accept this explanation, as a human being must have a bottom line!"
"Let's talk about something else. In addition to the three of us, that variety show also has Grace to join us. Isn't this a little too small?"
"Didn't you say that every time you visit, you invite local guests?"
"Since it is a variety show, it is indispensable to be interesting. Otherwise, the audience's expectations are only focused on the new song display at the end of each episode, and our program will not be considered a success!"
"It's really haha. Why, find some more comedians who know how to liven up the atmosphere?"
"We don't have comedians in the Mainland, but we can consider this aspect. And don't you think our team is missing someone who can help us with our external contacts?"
"That's why we need a butler-like figure! I'm quite optimistic about Liu Hua. He's smooth but not cunning, and he's very capable in dealing with people!"
"For him, we need to find someone younger. After all, Brother Hua is already in his forties!"
"This show has a lot to do with music. Are you looking for someone from our band?"
"They have to bring them, but there are quite a lot of foreigners among the permanent guests. If you are included, I am still Chinese."
"Hahaha, that's indeed what happened! Let's take the security guard with you. This guy is very hard-working and very discerning!"
"That's it, just two more of them will be enough!"
"Brother Nan, don't think about it. He has mentioned it to me several times. Don't forget to bring him with you if there are any shows."
"Let him be a special guest. Our last stop is back to Kyoto. His hometown is Dalian. Let's ask him, or we may include Dalian as a stop in our program!"
Jin Xishan thought for a moment and shook his head, "You said that in the first season, you would only select cities or regions with more national characteristics. Dalian obviously does not
Suitable! "
Liu Qingshan suddenly realized: "I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. There are too many things going on, and sometimes I even forget what I said!"
"Actually, there is no need to just focus on that city. The entire Northeast can consider Brother Nan's joining!"
"Yes, yes, this is a good idea! There's no rush anyway, let's wait until we come back from a trip to the south!"
"So, our first stop is the south?"
"The South is for us northerners. To be precise, our first stop is to go to Chengdu, because our original intention of hosting this show is to satisfy Taylor's gluttony. It is a famous food paradise, and it is also close to another food paradise. Yucheng is also the closest!"
"Well, we can shoot at least three episodes in these two cities. I applaud your decision with all my hands!"
Jin Xishan can't help but be a foodie, but she is more concerned that she has been in the mainland for almost three years and has never had any real travel experience.
Liu Qingshan understood her psychology very well: "There is also the Leshan Giant Buddha there. Haven't you always wanted to see it? It's only a two-hour drive from Chengdu."
"It's rare that you haven't forgotten what I said. I was still on the Shinhwa crew when I told you, right?"
"Yes, you were still my sister at that time, but now you have become my wife!"
"Who is your wife? I hate it! Besides, don't you still call me sister now?"
"Sister and sister are different, their nature has changed..."
While the two were muttering, the car had already returned to the villa.
Even though it was late at night, not only Taylor and Grace were waiting for the two to go home, but everyone else was also gathering in the hall to laugh.
