Chapter 429: Constant Visitors
Although Zheng Yan said that he had prepared the script for the cooperation between the two parties, Ichiro Morita thought it was just rhetoric, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yan would really take out the script. Although Ichiro Morita didn't have any research on the script, he couldn't help but open it and take a few looks.
"Mr. Zheng, now that I am basically ready, I will arrange the filming of the film as soon as I return to California. "Iichiro Morita is not worried about the quality of the script at all, because Zheng Yan really has no reason to cheat him on such a trivial matter.
"Mr. Morita, I will not interfere with the specific filming of the film, and naturally the staff of Longteng will contact you at that time. However, there is one thing I want to say in advance, I am ready to shoot sequels for these films, and the scripts are ready, and we are just cooperating in filming, but the copyright belongs to Longteng. ”
Zheng Yan prepared several scripts for "The Matrix", "Fast and Furious", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Men in Black", several films with sequels. The reason for this choice is that, on the one hand, the box office performance of several films is good, and on the other hand, it is Zheng Yan who is lazy.
For Ichiro Morita, his purpose is only to make Columbia Pictures profitable, and as for the film rights, they are not in his consideration at all, at least not at this stage. After the initial intention was reached, Eiichiro Morita left with Yamamoto Masa.
I don't know if it's an appointment, but after Ichiro Morita left, another guest was welcomed in the manor, William from the Rockefeller family.
"William, don't tell me, you also saw the time and made a special trip to pay me New Year's greetings?" Compared with Eiichiro Morita, Zheng Yan and William's relationship is undoubtedly much closer, and his speech is more casual.
"Why, did someone come before me? I thought I would be the first. ”
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, just before you come in..."
Zheng Yan knew very well that the New Year's greeting in William's mouth was just a joke, and he also came with a purpose. So Zheng Yan told Morita about Ichiro Morita again, and then looked at William with a narrow face.
"Well, I'll admit, I have something to discuss with you as well. ”
The same method is applied to the same person, the first user is ingenious, and the second one, whether he knows it or not, is a bit of an imitation. William is also a single, and directly admitted that he had ulterior motives.
"In two months, the two oil fields in Iraq and Kuwait will be re-established, I wonder what you think about it?
In fact, there is no need for William to open his mouth, Zheng Yan also knows that he is for the oil field.
"William, I already said last time that I don't have much interest in the oil fields of Iraq. However, if it is only the Great Burgan oil field in Kuwait, we can cooperate. ”
Knowing that there is a great risk in investing in Iraq, Zheng Yan will certainly not step into it, no matter how big the profit margin is, Zheng Yan does not want to make trouble for himself.
"Well, I don't understand your thoughts, but I respect your decision. However, the reason why I came to you this time is not only for those two oil fields, not long ago, things changed a little. As Iraq's domestic economic and health conditions deteriorated further, the number of oil field concessions opened in Iraq has increased to three. ”
"As a result, the preparation I did in the early stage was a little insufficient. Although the oil company controlled by our family is worth a lot of money, the funds for the event are limited, which is why I came to you. ”
For the Rockefeller family, the more oil fields the better, especially those with rich reserves, so the moment the news was announced, William set his sights on the other two oil fields. It's just that the news was so sudden that William was a little caught off guard.
If he had time, William could have figured out a way to raise money, but now there were only two months left, and even he couldn't do anything about it.
"William, are you looking for the wrong person? As I have already said, I have no interest in the oil fields in Iraq, and if the oil fields in Iraq belong to Kuwait this time, I would not mind eating them with you. Of course, if you still have a stake in a company like Microsoft, I don't mind taking the oil field and swapping it with you. ”
Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, William could only
A wry smile in return. Mo said that he did not have such a stake in his hands, and even if he did, it would not be comparable to the value of a large oil field.
"Well, we're friends after all, and since you've found me, I can't leave it untouched. We can work together to win these oil fields, including the three oil fields in Iraq, and if you are short of funds on your side, I can also pay in advance. ”
"In addition, you can rest assured that in addition to the Dabulgan oil field, I can keep the shares of the other three oil fields for you for three years. Within three years, as long as you can come up with something that interests me, I can sell it to you. ”
"What's this?" asked William, surprised.
Regarding Zheng Yan's conditions, even if William was sure that he had heard correctly, he was still a little incredulous. He really couldn't understand why Zheng Yan would abandon the oil exploitation rights that many people wanted to get with their heads.
"Of course it's true, how could I joke about such a thing. Besides, it's not like you don't know, I don't have much interest in the oil industry, even if it's Occidental Petroleum, I don't care about the company's situation at all, except for taking dividends. ”
"But I'm not without conditions, I just said, you have to come up with something that interests me. If you want to wait until you have enough money to buy those shares directly from me, you're wrong. ”
I have to say that Zheng Yan guessed very accurately, William really thought so in his heart, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yan would cut off his back road in advance.
"Okay, I agreed. ”
Although Zheng Yan's conditions were a bit broad, he had no better choice than that, so he had to agree.
"In that case, you should inform me in advance when the time comes. In the last few months, I have happened to have something to attend to, so I won't go with you, I will arrange for someone else to go. ”
In the next few months, it happened to be a time when Microsoft, Netscape, Oracle and Sun were fiercely competitive, and Zheng Yan had to take the opportunity to achieve his goal, so naturally he would not go to the Middle East to bask in the sun.
After William left, no one came to disturb him anymore, and Zheng Yan slept again, which recuperated his spirits.
