963 Top of the World 113

After staying at the Lin family for one night, Chen Feng left. As for the disguised requests of the relatives and friends of the Lin family, Chen Feng of course did not agree to any of them.

When Lin Meiwei's parents saw Chen Feng's attitude, of course, they did not meet the requirements of these relatives and friends.

Chen Feng’s next stop is the farthest stop, and the last one.

After so many days of New Year's greetings, I have been traveling to several countries. Even though Chen Feng was physically exhausted, he was still very mentally exhausted.

This last stop is of course Jessica's mother's Rothschild's house.

It was just that he wanted to fly to England and China, Chen Feng had to go back home and pick up Jessica and her two children. This time, he couldn't help but spend another day.

After staying at home for one night, Chen Feng and Jessica were tidying up and flew to England with two twin children.

In the old manor of Rothschild's house, Chen Feng and his family met Jessica's grandfather David.

Although Chen Feng has occasional contact with him, he hasn't actually met him for a long time. The same is true for Jessica.

However, Jessica often videos with her grandfather, including her two children.

Therefore, although I haven't seen my great-grandson and great-granddaughter for a long time, I am not very strange to each other when I see you now.

The two children were not unfamiliar with David Rothschild, the great-grandfather. At Jessica's request, the two children were very intimate in English and called David Dad's grandfather in English. They soon got along with David.

David undoubtedly liked these two children very much and was very let go. He had a lot of fun with them.

At the beginning, he only focused on playing with his two children. Chen Feng and Jessica were ignored.

After playing with the two children for more than an hour, the two children were tired of playing. David had time to talk to Chen Feng and Jessica.

"Long, I have watched your new movie this time. It was very artistic and beautiful. Although this kind of movie is not what I like, I really saw your talent from your movie, not just the talent of the actors or the talent of the director. Relying on your current fame and influence, I see that your movie is easy to win awards this year. Not to mention the three major film festivals in Europe, even Hollywood should give you a heavyweight award. Otherwise, your fans will launch an event to boycott their Hollywood Awards."

It is obvious that David is still paying attention to his grandson-in-law. This somewhat shocked Chen Feng. He quickly said, "Thank you for your grandfather's Ji Yan. I also believe that I should be able to win the award this time. So, I will participate in this year's Oscars."

David couldn't help but say with appreciation: "That's right. There is no need to have an unnecessary battle for sentiment. Besides, you should have won the Oscars, which is what everyone hopes. Although you don't need to add the prize to you based on your current fame and influence, after all, your identity is an actor and you have not won the Oscar. You can never be regarded as the highest achievement in this field. So if you want not to leave any regrets in this field, you will win the Oscar Awards for the Best Director."

Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa, you have a lot of confidence in me. I don't have much confidence in myself to win these two most important awards at once. It seems that no one has won the best director and best actor at the same time in history. This is quite difficult."

Jessica nodded and confirmed: "No one in history has won the best director and best actor at the same time. This time, you might be able to really break this record and create history."

David nodded and smiled, "It's really possible. After your first movie failed to win the Oscars last time, Oscars have been criticized by major media and public opinion. All your fans are very dissatisfied with it. Some radicals have organized many people to go to Hollywood to protest. The Oscars are now under huge pressure. As we all know, Hollywood is a place where business and economy are concerned. Because now, many of your fans will start boycotting the Oscars, so Oscars may face an economic crisis. Capitalists are all profit-seeking. The same is true for Oscars. In recent years, every Oscar has generated an average of 500 million US dollars in revenue, especially when you participate.

The Oscars of that year generated more than 700 million US dollars in revenue, mainly advertising revenue. But since you didn’t participate, the Oscar revenue has never exceeded 600 million US dollars in recent years. So, if they want to make more money, they can only ask you to go there. And if you go there, of course you can win the prize. However, what I admire most is that you make so much money with movies. It’s fine if the first one is a magic movie. After all, the picture and plot are very vivid, but your second one is a very pure art film. In my opinion, it’s far less exciting than the first one, but it has become the most popular and profitable second movie in the history of films. I think this return on investment is at least 500 times, right?”

David is a financier, so what he cares about most is the return on investment. Chen Feng is now very profitable for every movie he shoots. The first "Sword and Fairy" has a return rate of at least 100 times. This is a cost that counts the investment in building a synagogue when filming, otherwise the return rate would be even more ridiculously high. But even so, it is a myth.

Chen Feng's second film "Bi Love" has much less capital investment than "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but now judging from the global hot box office revenue, there is no doubt that the return rate is even higher than that of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Judging from what Chen Feng learned a few days ago, the income has exceeded one thousand times the investment. When he first invested in "Bi Love", he only invested 10 million national coins, and according to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 1.5 million US dollars. However, the global box office revenue has exceeded 2 billion US dollars, which is only more than a month's release time. According to the screening plan, Chen Feng's second movie will be screened globally for at least one month. Conservatively, the global box office is expected to exceed 5 billion US dollars. Putting aside the share of theaters, there are other miscellaneous expenses. As the producer Chen Feng's studio and the distributor Huateng Entertainment are undoubtedly the biggest profit.

Therefore, sometimes making movies is much more profitable than stealing banks and selling arms and goods.

Chen Feng did not hide it from David and told the truth. Even David Rothschild was a very senior financier, and when he heard the actual gains Chen Feng said, he was stunned for a while before he realized. He had already watched Chen Feng's return on investment in this movie, but the result was even twice as high as he expected. He couldn't help but be surprised.

Even though Jessica had expected that Chen Feng's second movie would be very profitable, she didn't expect that she would make so much. She was shocked for a moment and opened her mouth slightly widened.

"Long. You can always create miracles. There are probably only two movies in the world that make money in a row. You are not making movies, but you are opening a money printing factory and printing money hard."

David's words made Chen Feng and Jessica laugh a little.

David continued to say with some emotion: "Long. As an investor, I really eagerly hope to invest in your next movie. I don't think that investor can refuse such a big return temptation."

Before Chen Feng could speak, Jessica said unhappily: "Grandpa, you are not trying to make things difficult for Chen Feng on purpose. And you want to take advantage of him? He is not short of money now and does not need anyone's investment. Besides, most of the money he earns from movies must be taken out to do charity. Unless you can also use all the investment and earned money to do charity."

David shrugged helplessly when he heard this, "Okay, I'm just a joke. Even if I'm happy to do charity, it's hard to do it with your man for a long time. His move is hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in charity. If I only have millions of dollars, it would be too shameful. If I have tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, I'm not so generous."

David was very honest. It was obviously impossible for most people to let them have so much money to do charity. Moreover, this is even more so for some Jews who have always been a person who keeps money and makes money.

There are not many Jews who are very willing to be charitable and even completely selflessly take out most of their property to do charity. This is somewhat similar to that of Chinese or the vast majority of people in the world.

If you want to do anything like Bill Gates and Buffett, few people who are truly rich can do it. For example, Chen Feng himself cannot do all of them. Although he is also very keen on charity, he has so many wives and children in his family, and it is impossible for him to donate all his property in vain in the future.

Therefore, Chen Feng can understand David's view of charity very well. Although he also does charity, he will not "indulge" in charity.

Although David was the grandfather of the two, he was very relaxed when talking to them and could communicate with each other equally. Therefore, Chen Feng did not have much pressure to face him, a grandfather-level figure. He also communicated casually.

The three of them naturally talked about the Fantasy Electronics Group, which Jessica is now in charge, and about the Fantasy Smartphones developed by Chen Feng. Although David is old, he is very interested in smartphones. Previously, after Jessica talked to him about this kind of mobile phone, he asked Jessica to mail him one. Of course, this was sent after asking Chen Feng for permission.

In fact, Fantasy phones have begun trial production, and the daily production rate is increasing. Currently, nearly 10,000 units can be produced every day, so this phone cannot be considered strictly confidential to the outside world. As a new product, and Chen Feng and Messer intend to be low-key, the outside world has not paid much attention to this future landform and revolutionary mobile phone.

Especially for China, the definition of smartphones is still in a very vague stage of exploration. Many mobile phone manufacturers are copying Nokia and other well-known brands of mobile phones. It can be said that there is no clear concept of smartphones produced by Fantasy Electronics.

Moreover, David of course also knows the importance of keeping this mobile phone confidentiality, especially after he fully understood the various functions of this fantasy mobile phone, he paid more attention to this mobile phone and also did a better job of keeping it confidentiality.

"Your smartphone is really good. I'm in love with it now. After figuring out its various functions, it's really difficult for me to use a Nokia phone now. If it weren't for the hard time taking it out now, I would like to replace the Nokia phone now." David said, and then skillfully operated the fantasy phone in his hand, and then asked Chen Feng thoughtfully, "Do you have your own patent for this phone now? The unique patent that makes people difficult to imitate."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Some. As early as the year before yesterday, I specially commissioned Google to apply for almost 200 unique patents for our mobile phone in countries around the world. And we have also obtained patent licenses from the patent owners for the rest of the patents that cannot be avoided."

"So what are the unique patents?" David continued to ask curiously.

This is not a secret. Chen Feng explained: "I will talk about a few major unique patents, first of all, the appearance design. Now the rectangular shape of our dream mobile phone is unique, and there are also a series of future appearance design patents that we plan to do. In the future, if later mobile phone manufacturers want to follow the trend to produce smartphones, they must pay us the patent licensing fee for the appearance. In addition, some unique patents in the system are some unique patents, such as screen sliding unlocking, home button unique patents, multi-touch, finger enlargement and reduction of documents, rounded corner icons, etc. These are our unique patents. In the future, we can expect to make a lot of money on the patent licensing fee. "

David nodded and said, "As far as I know, if you want to produce such a mobile phone, there are many patents to use. Take Ericsson as an example. As a veteran in the communications industry, they have made very early patent layouts. They have applied for and obtained more than 35,000 patents in countries around the world. The patent portfolio covers many technologies. If you want to produce mobile phones, you can't avoid their patents. Have you paid a lot of money to Ericsson?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes. We can't spare many Ericsson technologies, such as 2g technology. If you want to use the Internet on your mobile phone, you must have this patent license. However, we now have our own patents and can also be made up for it in the future. We can avoid other patents."

David obviously learned a lot about mobile phones and said with a smile: "It's true. First of all, for example, wifi, and secondly, Qualcomm. I see that a mobile phone has two patents, which is very high."

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "It is true that the licenses of these two patents account for the majority of all patent licenses for mobile phones. In addition, Microsoft, Ericsson, and Nokia must also pay them patent license fees. However, this is quite normal. The smartphone market in the future will be very prosperous. As the first Android smartphone manufacturer, we will definitely be the first to make a fortune. Compared with the huge profits we have obtained from mobile phones in the future, these patent license fees are nothing."

David Rothschild smiled and nodded, "It's true. I'm very optimistic about the market prospects of your phone. Unfortunately, if I had known it, I would have invested in the mobile phone production field as soon as possible."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Grandpa, it's not too late for you to invest again. If you don't want to say anything else, like Qualcomm, I think you can buy some of their stocks now. In addition, I can recommend Apple to you. As far as I know, Apple is also developing a brand new operating system smartphone. I am still very optimistic about Jobs. He can create miracles."

Although Chen Feng is not kind enough to plagiarize many of the original patents of Apple phones in advance, he also plans to launch Android smartphones in advance before the launch of Apple phones, and intercept the real first-generation smartphones in advance. However, there is no doubt that Apple phones will still be great phones, and will definitely still sell well. First of all, Apple's foundation lies here. A large number of Apple fans around the world can support the entire Apple phone market. In addition, of course, there are excellent factors of Apple phones themselves. In a sense, the iOS system used by Apple phones is indeed better than Android.

This is also the reason why Chen Feng planned to write a new mobile operating system in the X language in the morning. The new operating system that Chen Feng expected was to surpass iOS.

"Oh, Apple is actually developing smartphones too?" David asked somewhat surprised. After seeing Chen Feng nodding, he said again, "Jobs is indeed a very outstanding and enterprising business manager. Under his leadership, Apple is indeed on the right path. Speaking of which, I actually already have some Apple stocks on hand, but not a lot. As for Qualcomm's stocks? Haha, after I fell in love with your smartphone, I have already purchased a lot."

Chen Feng couldn't help but think that it was indeed an old fox. In fact, he instructed Messel and Karina to buy a lot of Qualcomm and Apple stocks one after another as early as the previous year. Not to mention that Qualcomm's stock will definitely rise sharply in the future. Even if Apple, which was intercepted by him, will definitely continue to rise in the future. If you buy it now, you will definitely not suffer any loss, but you will definitely make a big profit.

Jessica suddenly said with great interest: "Qualcomm's mobile phone chip business will indeed get better and better in the future. Do you think we will acquire it now?"

David Rothschild shrugged and said, "My baby granddaughter, I don't have that much money? If you really want to acquire it, you should ask your husband."

Of course, it is hard to say that the stocks controlled by Fengsai and Huateng are now Qualcomm's largest shareholders. They just said: "In the long run, Qualcomm's stock price and market value will continue to rise. But in the same way, it will also face antitrust investigations from various countries. In the short term, Qualcomm's stock price will still fluctuate. So, if you really want to acquire it, I don't think it's necessary. Besides, those shareholders may not agree to the acquisition. In addition, I have also asked Karina to buy a lot of Qualcomm's stocks. I am already a major shareholder of Qualcomm."

Jessica couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you and grandpa thought of going together."

David Rothschild said with a smile: "This is what the Chinese saying says, 'Heroes' similar views'."

The three of them had a very casual and harmonious chat. Soon after, the three of them talked about Karina and Huateng International Holdings Investment Group. Both of them are now financial investors, and they actually have the possibility of cooperation in many aspects. The boss of Huateng Consortium is Chen Feng, and this matter has been made public long ago. David is thinking about strengthening cooperation between the two parties in the future.

Of course, Chen Feng would not reject this. Although the wealth of the Rothschild family has shrunk significantly compared to their ancestors at that time, their background is still there and their connections are still there. What is more important is that their Jewish bloodline is still there. This is the most critical. The Jews are undoubtedly the most united nation in the world.

As the most prominent family in Jewish history, the Rothschild family naturally has a special status in the minds of the Jews. David Rothschild is now the helmsman of the family. The huge network of contacts and relationships he holds in his hands is the most enviable and fearful.

Huateng Consortium chose to cooperate with the Rothschild family. First of all, it can be more solid in the world financial circle and enhance its influence; secondly, it is to make money. With the huge connections of the Rothschild family, Huateng Consortium is not short of money, so the cooperation between the two can naturally make a lot of money.

Therefore, after David Rothschild expressed his intention to cooperate, Chen Feng nodded without much hesitation and agreed.

Then, the two of them naturally talked about the energy field. Because Huateng Consortium had previously invested heavily in the energy field and invested in the construction and exploited two large oil fields around the world. Although this is not as good as Fengsai Group, it has attracted the attention of many international financial investors.

David Rothschild himself is also very optimistic about the future energy field, but he is suffering from not having much financial support. However, Huateng Group is suffering from not having too many networks of contacts, unable to successfully acquire oil fields around the world, and able to firmly gain a foothold in the local area.

So, the two of them had a little pair of heads, which was natural. Chen Feng immediately said that David could talk to Karina at any time.

Because of this natural cooperation, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious and warm, which made Jessica who was watching from the side very satisfied.

At lunch, Chen Feng also cooked several dishes that combine Chinese and Western dishes for David Rothschild, which made the old man praise him.

After lunch, David Rothschild got together with the two children, and then took them out to ride horses in the manor. Of course, Chen Feng and Jessica went with them.

I thought it would be a big horse, but in the end, David Rothschild, the great-grandfather, was obviously prepared. The two Argentine pony prepared for the two children, namely the pony named Farabella. They were only about 40 cm tall and weighed only about 20 kilograms, which was the size of a small and medium-sized dog. It would be best for the child to be a mount.
