The summer of June is like a clown who changes his face, just after the rainstorm is coming, and the sun jumps out in the blink of an eye. The number of pedestrians on the street soon increased, and the owners of the stalls cleaned up the sewage and debris in front of the doors, and all kinds of cries began one after another.
Xu Zhi walked from the winding path to a nearby main road, waited for a few minutes, and hailed a taxi.
"Where is the boss?" The taxi driver didn't care about Xu Zhi's age, and he was the boss when he spoke.
Xu Zhidao: "Central, Standard Chartered Street. ”
The driver said, "Okay, sit tight, the boss seat belt is fastened!"
The rule of Xiangjiang is that the front seat must wear a seat belt, Xu Zhi is sitting in the back seat at the moment, listening to the boss still say that he must wear a seat belt, and asked: "Master, you really have a sense of safety, I was not required to sit in the front seat when I took a taxi before." “
The driver sighed: "I didn't have this idea before, but some time ago a colleague had an accident, although he had insurance, but he also took tens of thousands of yuan, I was afraid." “
Xu Zhidao: "Yes, in fact, no matter which seat you sit, you should be forced to wear a seat belt, if an accident happens, people in the back row may not be injured very often." ”
Later generations of the mainland and the United States have made statistics, and then the same seat belt or the same do not wear, the front row mortality rate is indeed greater than the back row, but most people in the back row, there is no meaning of wearing seat belts at all, some data also show that when an accident occurs, the back row is not fastened is a very dangerous behavior.
It's just that the concept of "not afraid of death" has always existed in the hearts of many people, and if someone wears a seat belt on the bus, I am afraid that they will be laughed at "afraid of death".
After passing through the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel, you soon came to Standard Chartered Street. Xiangjiang is a strange city, with one of the most densely populated cities in the world, but it doesn't get much traffic jams. Thanks to the Hong Kong government, housing prices are expensive, and parking spaces are also expensive, so not many people buy cars.
......
Xu Zhi directly found the property of the building, took out all his lawyer's business cards, and was arranged into the elevator. The elevator in this building is swiped, and without the help of the property, outsiders don't even have a chance to go up.
"Yao Daxiang?" the front desk took Xu Zhi to the door and called softly.
"Oh, please come in. The barrister, who was thinking, saw the two people outside and hurriedly beckoned.
Xu Zhi walked in and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb Yao Sheng." ”
"Our lawyers only survive by bothering, the more you disturb, the better!" Yao Mingcheng said with a smile, he is one of the senior lawyers of Yuecheng Law Firm, Xu Zhi found a lawyer to consult the contract a few days ago, this kind of trivial matter would not have been done by him personally, but when he learned that it was an agreement with Golden Harvest, he immediately drove away the young lawyer who had just graduated and personally participated in it.
Xu Zhi sat opposite and handed the contract given by He Guanchang to Yao Mingcheng, who had already added some of his own revisions when he was in the taxi before.
Yao Mingcheng motioned to Xu Zhi casually, and then turned his hand and looked at the contract.
After a while, Yao Mingcheng said: "There is no big problem with this contract, although many of them are restricting Xu Sheng's behavior, but they are not too excessive, as for restricting financing, there are also a few articles written in it, but there are too many methods in the company's operation, Xu Sheng will have to invite some professional accountants to audit the company's finances in the future, so this article must be added to the contract, you must have the right to audit the company's finances." ”
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "This is something I didn't expect." ”
Yao Mingcheng said: "You must control this part of the novel, and I don't recommend giving half of it, but because Xu Sheng wants to borrow such a large sum of money, I'm afraid it can only be like this." ”
Xu Zhidao: "I understand, I have put the entire novel in the safe deposit box of the bank according to your suggestion, and no one can get it except me." ”
Yao Mingcheng suggested putting the bank safe for safekeeping, and Xu Zhi did the same, but only Xu Zhi knew which bank to put it, and Yao Mingcheng was very professional, so he didn't ask these details.
Yao Mingcheng said: "As long as the content of the novel is in your hands, don't worry about what Jiahe will do, as for the half of the novel requested by the other party, you can't give them casually, my opinion can show them the first some, but that half of the novel must be 500,000 to your account before it can be given to Jiahe." ”
Xu Zhi frowned and said, "I'm afraid Jiahe won't be so easy to speak!"
Yao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Then it depends on how much sincerity of cooperation Golden Harvest has, the future of this business plan is still good, although Golden Harvest pays money, but the core is in our hands, so as long as we negotiate slowly, it should not be a problem." ”
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I don't have much time to negotiate slowly, don't dwell on some unimportant details, as long as you ensure that the equity is not diluted, the funds can be received, and other aspects can also be appropriately retreated." ”
Yao Mingcheng nodded and said: "Okay, you have the final say, but there is one more thing, according to the agreement between you and Zou Wenhuai, Golden Harvest will be responsible for the distribution after the movie is filmed, and it is best to sign another contract for this one, otherwise there may be unnecessary troubles at that time." ”
Xu Zhidao: "Okay, then it's hard Yao Sheng." ”
Yao Mingcheng said: "Yes, this is our duty, the sample contract of Jiahe has come out, then I will personally go to Jiahe to negotiate in a few days, and Xu Shengke will go with him then?"
Xu Zhidao: "Okay, you can contact me in advance when the time comes." ”
.........
In the evening, Xu Zhi slowly took the bus back to his home.
In addition to the problem of spending money lavishly during this time, the biggest consumption is the lawyer's fee, eating people without spitting out bones, and the one-hour consultation fee is 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is still a discounted price.
In the next few days, Xu Zhi and Jiahe and others held two negotiations on the contract, but fortunately, there were basically no problems in the big aspects, and some small details were pulled at each other, and they were settled.
According to the agreement, after Golden Harvest registers the company, it will inject 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Zhi will get 25% of the shares with the novel, but these shares will be locked, and there is only the right to dividends for the time being, and the newspaper must wait until the future newspaper sales stabilize and the newspaper can continue to make profits for 3 consecutive months.
Originally, it was ready to set the sales volume, but the sales volume was a condition but there was no result after a few days of talking, less Jiahe was unwilling, and more Xu Zhi was unwilling. Because there are too many cats in it, if Golden Harvest deliberately does not act, it will be difficult for sales to reach the peak. And the newspaper sales are not good, it is difficult to define whether the news content is not good, or the novel is not attractive, these have no direct data, can only rely on various circumstances to approximate speculation, if this is the case, there will be more nonsense in the future.
The lock-in profit is much simpler, Xu Zhi has the right to check the finances every 3 months, of course, Jiahe can still be fake, but in the big aspects must always pay attention, otherwise once it is found to be fraudulent, this contract or something is a trivial matter, reported to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, suspected of tax evasion can be a big game.
So, on June 15, Golden Harvest and Xu Zhi reached an agreement on a cooperation agreement, and the issue of film distribution in the future is even more Zou Wenhuai's words, in addition to the distribution in the bend area, Hong Kong including Southeast Asia is under the responsibility of Golden Harvest.
On June 16, Xu Zhi added HK$500,000 to his HSBC account.
