Chapter 160(1/2)
Going to an appointment late at night
Li Zhenyu and Martin were wildly imagining the fictional magical world.
Claire and Gasco also began their first-round confrontation. Li Zhenyu wanted to obtain all the authorizations for Martin's works, which Gasco said was excessive greed.
"$80 million, and there will be subsequent dividend income. If this is called greed, those guys in Hollywood should be hanged from the street lights."
As for Claire's description, Gasco accepted it all. Of course he knew that this condition was not too harsh.
But striving for better conditions for his employer is the purpose of his coming here and the meaning of his existence.
If he didn't do anything, why would Martin spend a lot of money to hire himself?
Glancing at the two people chatting happily, Gasco pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, since they are friends... let's talk about the dividend ratio."
Claire knew he was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.
As time went by, the argument in the living room became louder and louder, and the two almost started to quarrel.
His thoughts were frequently interrupted, making Martin a little irritable.
"It is not an easy task to perfectly present that world. There is a lot of preparation work that needs to be completed in advance. Martin, you don't want to have any regrets in your work!"
"Li, are you prepared for the contract?"
Li Zhenyu said helplessly: "It seems that we can only talk about this today. Let's finish the business first and then discuss the follow-up parts."
When Li Zhenyu arrived, there were already two empty glasses in front of Alice Li.
Now, with Martin's intervention, I believe the situation will change.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to change the contract now."
Only he understood that this change came from 'Martin's friendship.'
Just let them resolve the minor conflicts between mother and daughter.
Li Zhenyu originally wanted to schedule it for tomorrow, but the other party would fly to Georgia early tomorrow morning to attend the second half of the year business meeting held by fabric manufacturers.
Reaching out and pinching her plump and moist face, Li Zhenyu pointed to the room and said silently: "I want to go out, wait for me at home."
"Mojito."
Turning to the side with a guilty conscience, Li Zhenyu also walked quickly towards the room.
"Li, I hope the project can start as soon as possible. I want everyone to see that wonderful world as soon as possible."
Claire's assistant went to revise the share ratio in the contract, and the few people who stayed at the scene toasted together to celebrate the upcoming cooperation in advance.
Li Zhenyu smiled slightly and said, "I think he did this out of our friendship."
This sentence is not intended to flatter him, Alice Li is just stating a fact.
"I have decided that this condition is not bad. I don't want my friends' interests to be harmed because of me."
With a copyright fee of US$80 million and a 12% profit share from subsequent peripheral products, he can sign it now.
Martin shook his head and told him to sign the contract according to the plan just discussed.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
The two chatted from day to night, and continued talking during dinner. It was not until it got dark that Martin reluctantly left after his reminder.
Seeing the caller ID, Liu Meina curled her lips and hung up.
In Martin's heart, he has become the most important friend in his life.
“The scenery here is really nice.”
Li Zhenyu joked: "You dare to hand over 200 million US dollars to me without asking anything. It seems that you already know enough details."
Angrily, he put it to his ear again, "You said you don't need to threaten me with this."
The two of them were located close to the fence, and they could overlook most of Hollywood with just a slight peek of their heads.
He also wanted to meet someone, who sent a letter to him in the afternoon asking him to meet.
"No, that's enough."
Soon, Martin and Gasco came over.
This made Claire feel relieved. Gasco was not an easy person to deal with, and she had not been able to take advantage of him so far.
For her, this is good news.
Li Zhenyu was the first to sign the contract and then handed the pen to Martin.
Liu Mina wanted to ask, 'What are you doing,' but she still had to deal with her mother on the phone, so she could only reluctantly nodded, stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the face.
Li Zhenyu raised his hand to say hello and sat opposite her with a smile.
"Your kindness will harm you."
"Alice."
"Don't think about it again?" Li Zhenyu wanted to know how much she had heard and how determined she was.
A medium-strength cocktail based on rum and considered more masculine in taste.
Li Zhenyu nodded, answering her question.
Alice Li had already drank two glasses, and she wanted to change the taste of the third glass.
In Claire's opinion, Martin must have been influenced by him to make such a decision.
However, Claire also insisted on sticking to the bottom line, which was also the key point where the two argued and quarreled.
Alice Li put down her wine glass, lightly brushed her short hair that fell in front of her eyes with her fingers, and said with a smile: "If it was Korean won, how could I have the nerve to come to you?"
After discussing the business, Claire and Gasco's mission was completed, and they left the villa.
"Cooperative entertainment~"
The former had a serious look on his face, while the latter had a somewhat unwilling and helpless look on his face.
"Boss, how did you convince him?"
"Liu Meina, do you have to ask me to freeze all your cards before you obey?" The threat in her ears made Liu Meina put down her phone and press her thumb on the hang-up button to stop.
Therefore, the meeting time can only be arranged in the evening.
She was too embarrassed to show her hand, let alone find the time to invite him to meet here.
"You also said that you would listen to me and do what I say."
The argument between the two gradually came to an end. Li Zhenyu didn't hear everything clearly, but he heard a few words one after another.
With no one in the way, Liu Mina finally had time to pester him.
"No need to think about it, I will stay in the country for 2 days, let people prepare the procedures, and I can sign the contract when I return."
"Of course, it's just that the conditions haven't been negotiated yet."
"Martin, you can't..."
Recently, she wanted to change a company to manage her money. The financial crisis had greatly reduced the profits of the previous institution, and the profits were no longer enough to satisfy her.
"Didn't I tell you..."
Martin stayed and wanted to continue the previous discussion with Li Zhenyu.
The address is the open-air bar on the 12th floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Li Zhenyu also came to Claire's side, chuckled and said confidently: "It seems that there will be a result."
"Gasco." Martin stopped Gasco, who was still arguing, and called him aside to discuss in a low voice.
200 million won...
"Dollar?"
"I'll have a drink too."
Seeing her angry expression, although Li Zhenyu didn't know the inside story, he roughly guessed what was going on.
"Two years?" Martin frowned, obviously not satisfied.
This reason makes Martin satisfied. Since it is to better present the work perfectly, it is naturally worth the time to wait.
But the next second, the other party called again: "Anihasay, your lovely and well-behaved daughter is not here. Now she is a vicious and rebellious pregnant daughter. Please don't call me again. That's it, I'm going to hang up."
"Martin will put pressure on him?" Claire mused.
Swish~
After completing the signing, the amber Yamazaki single malt whiskey was added to the coffee table glass again.
Martin hugged him warmly, waved and got into the car parked on the roadside and drove towards the city center.
Alice Li has a sum of money that has been handed over to an investment company for management.
I ran forward and hugged his arm. Just as I was about to say something, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
Hollywood at night is a paradise for revelers.
