Chapter 881: Goodbye (2/3)
After Yang Ming talked to Old Man Hong Su, just when he was thinking about how to deal with this matter and maximize the interests of Oriental DreamWorks, he received a call from Lieutenant Colonel Liang Tianxiao.
The Ministry of Defense finally has an official response, but Yang Ming needs to go over to negotiate in person.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liang, can you reveal whether the result is bad or good?" Yang Ming asked curiously.
"I'll talk about it when you come over!" Liang Tianxiao said slightly stiffly.
Hearing the other party's meticulous and mechanical answer, Yang Ming's heart was tickled like a cat, but he knew that if he wanted to get something useful from Liang Tianxiao's mouth, it would definitely be impossible.
So he asked, "Okay, what time is it, what do I need to prepare?"
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, you can come alone, and you don't need to prepare anything. At this time, Liang Tianxiao's tone became relaxed, but he still spoke word by word.
The two parties made an appointment, and after hanging up the phone, Yang Ming waved his mobile phone excitedly and walked around the office excitedly.
Although Liang Tianxiao did not reveal anything useful, he believed that if the military was not interested, he would definitely not let him come over to negotiate again, and would definitely reject his request for cooperation in an official tone.
Obviously, the materials he carefully prepared last time, as well as the cooperation materials between the Pentagon and Hollywood, which were obtained by Babertong Guò, deeply shocked the group of military bigwigs.
In particular, at present, the military's own art troupe is simply unable to undertake the heavy task of publicizing our army.
The most important thing is that this kind of cooperation between the military and entertainment film companies is aimed at the global film market, rather than making a film with a clear political theme and showing it in other countries.
If it is really that simple, the military's first choice will definitely not be Oriental DreamWorks, a nascent film company, nor will it be Yang Ming, a hairy boy.
But Yang Mingtong's achievements in his previous films, suing the military, at least the current global box office record of Chinese local films, is Oriental DreamWorks, it is him Yang Ming.
In addition, he has countless die-hard fans in countries around the world, even the British royal prince and princess are no exception, they are one of his supporters, and his solo concert in New York has pushed himself to the status of the king of pop music newcomers in one fell swoop.
A phenomenal idol star!
If nothing else, according to Yang Ming's momentum, he will definitely become the most influential superstar in the world.
Not one of them.
Yang Ming analyzed in the office for a long time, and he guessed that after the last time he made a work report, General Cao would definitely arrange for someone to investigate and verify the numbers and information he said, and at the same time, his personal information would also be placed on General Cao's desk.
Apparently, now the military recognizes his qualifications to work with the military.
To be honest, if it was put in his previous life, Yang Ming wouldn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.
However, he is extremely fortunate that the political system and the military system in this world are completely upside down compared to each other, and there is no trace of similarity.
Therefore, Yang Ming's plan will be recognized by the military, or General Cao, and open a gap in the door of cooperation.
For the whole morning, he sat in the office to sort out his thoughts, thinking about various possibilities encountered in the afternoon, and even at noon, he just hastily ordered a fast food to solve it, and did not go to eat with Liu Xinsheng and them.
Before two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ming tidied up his clothes a little, and then drove to the Ministry of National Defense.
When he arrived at the Ministry of National Defense, it was only half past two o'clock, and he stayed in the car for about 15 minutes before calling Lieutenant Colonel Liang Tianxiao.
In this regard, he had already had an experience, and after the inspection, he was led by the soldiers, and as soon as he entered the building, he saw Liang Tianxiao waiting for him.
Liang Tianxiao saluted the soldiers, and then said to Yang Ming: "You came early, right?"
"Who's to say no? What you said this morning made me nervous, and I don't know whether it was good or bad. Yang Ming pretended to have a headache and said.
"Hehe!" Liang Tianxiao heard Yang Ming's words, rarely squeezed out a few smiles from his face, and said after a moment of silence: "Wait a minute, you will know, General Cao attaches great importance to this cooperation with your movie." ”
Yang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he finally got a little useful information from the mouth of this iron-faced selfless lieutenant colonel.
It seems that this cooperation will be completed nine times out of ten.
Subsequently, Liang Tianxiao took him directly to General Cao's office and did not wait for him.
"Haha, lad, we're meeting again. When General Cao saw that it was Yang Ming, he immediately laughed heartily.
Yang Ming saw General Cao get up from his seat and walk over to him, and hurriedly said respectfully: "This is my honor, but I believe that if the military didn't pay attention to this part, I wouldn't be standing here." ”
When General Cao heard Yang Ming's words, he walked up to him, patted Yang Ming's arm hard, and said with a smile: "The young man is good, he is still a little bold, at least he doesn't have weak legs, haha!"
Liang Tianxiao also nodded secretly on the side, no one knew General Cao better than him, General Cao was very disgusted with the kind of businessman who smelled of copper all over his body, if it was possible, he believed that General Cao would definitely not deal with this kind of person for the rest of his life.
Talking nonsense, talking about people, flattering, calculating, and cunning like a fox.
As a matter of fact, most of the military's upright leaders are reluctant to have too close contacts with business people.
It's so brain-wracking!
Although this business cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks is somewhat similar, compared to the importance of the army's soft culture propaganda, General Cao still personally participated in this negotiation, after all, he is the leader in charge of this work.
Now seeing that Yang Ming did not become weak in his knees because of cooperation, General Cao was naturally very happy.
In fact, whether it is General Cao or Liang Tianxiao, Yang Ming is not soft, but cannot be soft, because this involves long-term cooperation in the future, if Oriental DreamWorks habitually makes concessions to the Ministry of Defense, then when encountering some controversial plots, the military will let it be cut, then Oriental DreamWorks will have no room for maneuver at all.
Therefore, Yang Ming should leave an image of being reasonable, saying things and never backing down for the sake of the bottom line of principle to the Ministry of Defense from the very beginning.
This is also the general strategy he thought about in this negotiation for a morning.
"Xiao Yang, the number and information you gave in your work report last time, we found someone to investigate it, alas, I won't tell you, it's just shocking, or some of the practices of the Mi Army, it makes many of us feel incredible, but it really taught us a good lesson, it turns out that sometimes competition can be like this!"
General Cao sat on the sofa and said with infinite emotion.
