Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Not Understanding Means Not Understanding

But since Brother Lin has already seen through my little trick, Lao Wang didn’t continue digging holes.

After all, if you really make Brother Lin upset, he could easily throw the technology to another cinema chain, and then instantly there’d be a second Baida rising up.

“Isn’t five years a bit too short… After all, relying only on cinema chains, the annual profit is really limited.

And the total renovation of equipment is no small sum too…”

Hearing this, Brother Lin lightly spun the teacup in his hand and then said with a relaxed expression:

“Hey, since you’re worried about the equipment, let’s do it this way, for domestic and overseas cinema chains we can provide the equipment for free for five years, and as long as you pay the salaries, I’ll send you two maintenance teams.”

Saying this, Brother Lin deliberately acted very generous. It’s just like how initially Lao Wang said he’d pay eight billion for the authorization.

And the reason for saying that is actually another pit Brother Lin dug for Lao Wang.

The equipment is all his own. In simple terms, it’s just renting it to you for five years for eight billion and one or two thousand units.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not at a loss.

Brother Lin couldn’t help but notice Lao Wang’s eyelids twitching:

“Haha, that’s no problem, but one more thing, there’s no need to promote in the Nuclear Creation Community, just promise me not to provide the virtual reality technology to any other cinema chains within five years.”

They’re both sly like old foxes; after a round of back-and-forth bargaining, Brother Lin finally offered exclusive authorization of virtual reality equipment and technology to Baida Cinema for five years for a price of eight billion.

And five years later, Baida Film and Television has the priority to apply for authorization.

Lao Wang was straightforward, and perhaps it was pre-arranged, but he had a legal team at his home.

After the negotiation, he directly asked the lawyers to draft the contract.

“Haha, Brother Lin, have a look and if everything’s good, I’ll arrange the payment right away.”

Looking at the more than 30 pages of the contract Lao Wang handed over, Brother Lin couldn’t help but shake his head in wonder.

There are over seven hundred clauses, no idea how these lawyers wrote them.

Just flipping through a few pages, Brother Lin started to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Even though he could remember these clauses clearly, he didn’t understand the content at all.

Shaking his head helplessly, Brother Lin thought it better to let a professional take a look.

Only he didn’t know anyone with a legal background.

Thinking of this, Brother Lin deeply realized that it’s time for Nuclear Creation Group to set up a legal department.

Previously, he was focused on R&D and sales, and apart from Lao Lei, he hadn’t really collaborated much with outsiders.

Hence, he hadn’t considered this aspect before.

But now it’s different, he knew contracts would definitely be overflowing in the future.

Seeing Brother Lin’s thoughts, Lao Wang laughed and said:

“Haha, don’t worry Brother Lin, our legal department is one of the best in the industry, the contract wouldn’t have any issues.

But if you aren’t reassured, you can also have the Nuclear Creation Group’s legal department take a look.”

Although Nuclear Creation Group doesn’t open to the public, Lao Wang, being a seasoned businessman, knew they didn’t have a legal department.

His Baida’s legal team, however, is quite adept, crafting contracts with nuances so subtle that not even industry veterans can easily detect the tricks.

That’s why, despite knowing the conditions were somewhat harsh, Lao Wang agreed.

Faced with Lao Wang’s smile, Brother Lin felt no embarrassment in admitting his lack of understanding.

Smiling, he nodded and acknowledged:

“Haha, no shame in it, I really don’t understand this stuff, let me make a call, it’s better to leave it to the professionals.”

After speaking, Brother Lin gestured and without hesitation took out his phone and dialed a number.

Watching Brother Lin’s straightforwardness and lack of concealment of his shortcomings, Lao Wang couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up in his heart.

Beep, beep, beep, after a few rings, the call finally connected.

Then came a deliberately lowered voice over the phone:

“I’m in the middle of a principal’s meeting, make it quick if it’s urgent.”

That’s right, Brother Lin was calling Lao Cheng.

There was no way he could just randomly find a law firm.

That would be less reliable than checking himself.

Lao Cheng is different after all, his connections should be vast, who knows, maybe one of his students is a top lawyer or something.

At that moment, Lao Cheng was in a meeting at the school.

Sitting at the head of the table was the principal who had just returned from abroad.

Due to the many ensuing matters and fear of sudden incidents, the principal only required attendees to set their phones to vibrate instead of turning them off during the meeting.
