Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Entrustment Has Arrived Again
Electric lights and telephones are the most basic conditions of modern civilization, seeing that his people do not light up at night, Wu Chen feels very uncomfortable, the housing problem cannot be solved for the time being, and the economy has not improved for the time being, but this material condition should be there, right?
Shati said on the side: "Boss, the vast majority of the government of the autonomous region and the government agencies of the towns, from high, middle and low-level leaders to ordinary civil servants, do not have mobile phones, which is very inconvenient for the development of work, and everyone is outside every day, and contact has become a big problem."

Wu Chen also knew the importance of communication, and said: "This requirement can be met, tell Meng Shuang, go to Chiang Mai Province to buy a thousand Samsung SH-100 mobile phones, in addition to the main leaders of each town government, each village head should also be equipped with one, so that there is an emergency will not be blind, but the phone bill must be strictly controlled." ā
Then he said: "In addition, landline telephones should also be popularized, government departments should be available, and people's homes should also be available, because we have just started to build, and our people will not be able to use mobile phones for the time being in a short period of time, but there is also a demand for this, and it is not much money to install a telephone, you can find an operator from Thailand to operate this matter, and the government will pay for it for the time being." ā
Just when Wu Chen was inspecting economic development and people's livelihood work, Hall's call came, and he said with a smile: "Instructor, you are now doing a prosperous business, and your performance in Angola is very good, and now the Sierra Leone government has sent you an invitation, hoping that you can send a mercenary to help the government army defeat the opposition forces, which is also an old customer of our company." ā
Wu Chen, who had always been troubled by money, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and said: "This is absolutely no problem, I can send a battalion of troops to Sierra Leone to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, and at most two months, the fighting can be ended." ā
Hall said: "I know that your strength is developing very quickly, but I want to remind you, be careful, don't be too high-profile in your actions, and beware of causing hostility to you from Southeast Asian countries!" Also, the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank you want is already in place, do you want to test it in real combat? ā
Wu Chen smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Hall for the reminder, I always feel that using the main battle tank against those with rifles is a bit of a fuss, okay, it should be a training technique, even if this thing is attacked by anti-tank missiles, the safety factor is still very high." When I've signed the agreement, you'll ship all the tanks to Freetown's port!" ā
Hall said with some embarrassment: "Instructor, now I hope to change the payment method between us, this is my personal request, and it is also to leave a way back for the future." ā
Wu Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and said: "We are old friends, it's easy to say anything, are you going to want a diamond mine in Sierra Leone or an oil mine in Angola, just say it!" ā
Hall said: "Sierra Leone is very poor right now, and it certainly can't come up with too many dollars, and you will definitely be able to get some diamond mining rights, and I hope to get one of them, and for this, I will waive all the main battle tanks and anti-tank missiles, and I will also provide you with a batch of weapons and equipment." ā
More than 40 million US dollars to buy a diamond mine, the price is really not high, but it is not too outrageous, Wu Chen agreed, there is no arms production system of his own, if you want to keep your guns from lacking ammunition, you still have to have a good relationship with arms dealers.
Wu Chen hurriedly informed Hunter, Thompson and Marcas, asking them to filter all the people who applied to join the mercenary corps in Ukraine, the United States, Russia, Israel, Germany and the United Kingdom during this time.
Although the fighting in Angola did not attract the attention of the world, it did attract the attention of the armies of various countries, so many people signed up through various contact methods to participate in the Golden Triangle International Security Company. The good treatment here is one of the reasons, and the most important thing is that it is backed by the world's first-class weapons and equipment, and the safety factor is relatively high.
Wu Chen's request is that those who are born in special forces and can operate helicopter gunships and main battle tanks will be given priority, and the first batch of foreign expansion will recruit 500 special forces and 200 technical troops, and ask Marcus to secretly recruit KGB agents, and the mission area will be mainly concentrated in the United States and Russia, and those with local resources will be given priority.
He is not afraid that the agents will have multiple identities, and when he is free, he will have to concentrate on starting with a few major intelligence agencies, using special abilities to obtain personnel lists, and now the most convenient thing for him is that all computer management, even if it is written on paper, he has a way to get it, because all the electronic safes and combination locks do not work for him.
"My dear, our company's negotiations with Marvel have progressed, Marvel has agreed to authorize us to use comic book characters and storylines to shoot movies, those series you told me during the New Year, such as X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Thor, Spider-Man and Black Widow are no problem, we will own the film rights to these characters, but the proceeds of each movie, Marvel will get five percent of the box office proportion." Xu Zilin called and said.
"Five percent of the box office revenue, our production and distribution together, that is, about 50 percent, which also includes costs and advertising investment, although not small, but still within my range of bearing, yes, how did you break through?" Wu Chen was puzzled.
Speaking of which, we have to briefly explain the rules of Hollywood in the United States, the exhibitors are also theaters, and most of the division of box office revenue adopts a step-by-step decreasing system, deducting the fixed cost of the theater from the box office revenue, and then returning the box office to the distributor according to the proportion of decreasing week by week.
In the first or second week of a mainstream film's release, after deducting the exhibitor's related expenses, the distributor usually gets 90% of the box office revenue, and the exhibitor gets 10% or less, so that the distributor takes advantage of it, and the theater is not in a hurry, and then the distributor's box office revenue will decrease by 10% every two weeks, while the exhibitor will increase by 10%, and the longer the showtime, the higher the proportion of box office revenue.
In addition, in practice, mainstream distributors usually require a share guarantee, that is, the box office revenue obtained each week cannot be less than a certain percentage of the total box office, usually the requirement is 70% in the first week, and then 10% in every two weeks.
"It was Mike who took the initiative to help us negotiate with Marvel, he is good friends with the chairman of Marvel and the character creator, and finally got such conditions, if you change to another film company, you don't even want to talk about a tenth of the share, and it is impossible to even buy the movie rights of so many characters at once. By the way, Mike also offered to fight for more comic series for us, and asked if you were interested! Xu Zilin said.
This is definitely an accident, Wu Chen didn't expect to help King Mike once, and actually had such a rich return, but he knows that it is still a question whether these movie copyrights can be kept, this is like an inexhaustible treasure, and few people may pay attention to it now, and when they try it in another ten years, some people want to fight their own ideas!
"Let's do it first, I have to leave some soup for someone else, you go to Mike's house on my behalf, thank him for his help, and when I return to the United States, I will visit him at Dreamland in Santa Barbara, California." Wu Chen said.
He has scavenged almost all the big commercial films he saw in his memory, not to mention drinking soup, I'm afraid it will be difficult to smell and smell it, but fortunately, at this time, not many people have realized the potential of these series of comics, otherwise the competition will be unprecedentedly cruel.
"Mike is a very grateful person, if I didn't want to reveal your whereabouts, he would definitely see you, you are really good, you don't even tell me, wait until you go home and see how I clean you up!" Xu Zilin said with a smile.
"I've traveled a lot, aren't you also my defeated? Let's wait and see who cleans up whom! Wu Chencai was not afraid of Xu Zilin's threat, this girl was too smart, and even he felt pressured.
