Chapter 92: Negotiation

A meeting is being held in the NBC conference room, which is attended by more than 10 people from NBC's top management, the president, the senior vice president, and some department directors.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss how much the idea for Got Talent is worth? Moore, the president of NBC, said to those who attended the meeting.

Yesterday Jefferson gave him a document saying that Xu Qing wanted to sell the idea of a variety show to NBC.

He took a serious look at the idea of "Got Talent", and also felt that this was a popular variety show idea.

Jefferson then told him that Mr. Xu had rejected the $1 million purchase price and said that "Got Talent" was worth at least $20 million.

Moore wanted to slap the table and scold Xu Qing for being whimsical, and the idea of a variety show also wanted to sell for more than $20 million, did he think $20 million was $200.

However, Moore held back, as Xu Qing, he was not so bored as to entertain NBC, and Moore once again looked seriously at the creativity of "Got Talent".

The more I look at it, the more I feel that the creativity of "Got Talent" can become a big hit, and it is a big hit in the United States and the world.

But he didn't have the courage to spend $20 million to buy the idea for a variety show, so he held a meeting to discuss whether the idea for "Got Talent" was worth $20 million.

"I think the idea for 'Got Talent' is worth $1 million. A senior vice president said.

"I think it's worth $2 million, 'Got Talent' is a good idea, and it should be a hit. Another senior vice president said.

"$500,000, there is a lot of uncertainty about the idea of "Got Talent", it is quite possible to be popular or not, and $500,000 is more secure. A director said.

……

Moore listened to the speeches of the participants and felt a headache, no one said that the price was more than $3 million, the highest was $2 million, and the price of $500,000 was said by several people.

Once he says that Xu Qing's request is more than $20 million, everyone will definitely oppose it.

"The idea for "Got Talent" was provided by Xu Qing, and he wanted to sell the idea to NBC, and you know that Xu Qing is a billionaire and not bad for money.

So the price he's asking for is more than $20 million, that is, not just $20 million, maybe higher, do you think the idea of "Got Talent" is worth more than $20 million?" Moore said in a deep voice.

Moore's words immediately caused the conference room to explode, and the discussion rang out one after another, causing Moore a headache, but Moore did not stop their discussion and let them discuss to their heart's content.

Half a minute later, Moore pressed his hand and said, "Jefferson, you say first, you are the first person to contact Xu Qing. ”

"President, I insist that the creative value of "Got Talent" is $1 million, and more than $20 million is too much, absolutely impossible! Many variety shows are creative for thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars. ”

Jefferson gave reasons for his opposition.

Moore didn't comment and let another senior vice president speak.

"President, $20 million can already make a beautifully made movie, and the idea of buying a variety show is crazy!"

This was followed by a speech by the Director.

"President, I think the idea of "Got Talent" is only worth $500,000, and the reason is that there is a lot of uncertainty about the idea of "Got Talent" that I just said, and it is quite possible that it will be popular or not.

And the price of $20 million is too great, in case you buy back this show is not popular, you need to bear a lot of responsibility, and the shareholders will be held accountable. ”

The director, who was Moore's confidant, spoke up another reason for Moore's careful decision.

Moore Moran, if he really buys the idea of "Got Talent" for $20 million, if it is not popular, he will have to bear a lot of pressure.

The possibility of being fired is slim, but the shareholders' perception of him will deteriorate, the year-end dividend will be less, and his career as a professional manager will be stained.

Moore continued to listen to the attendees, and everyone was opposed to the idea of buying "Got Talent" for more than $20 million.

The discussion was inconclusive, and Moore simply called the meeting up and returned to the president's office.

Moore stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, looking out at the traffic-filled streets below the building, his thoughts racing.

After standing for more than half an hour, Moore gasped, his leg was numb, and after a while, Moore's leg returned to normal.

Moore called Jefferson and asked him to ask Xu Qing to come to NBC's president's office at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

……

At 10 a.m., Xu Qing came to Rockefeller Center again, and Jefferson was already waiting for him at the front desk of NBC.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to visit NBC again. Jefferson's smile still looked hearty.

"Mr. Jefferson, you're laughing again. Xu Qing also smiled and asked again, "Why did your president meet me today?"

"Mr. Xu is so good and so handsome, who doesn't want to meet you, and our president wants to do it too." Jefferson laughed.

"Mr. Jefferson, you are very eloquent! Xu Qing gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the compliment. ”

Jefferson chatted with Xu Qing for a while, and then led Xu Qing to the president's office.

Jefferson sent Xu Qing to the door of the president's office, did not go in, and waved goodbye to Xu Qing.

The door to the president's office has been opened, and inside is the secretary's room, and a male secretary leads the way, turning left and right, to the real office of the president of NBC.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Moore, the president of NBC, and it's a pleasure to meet you. When Moore saw Xu Qing, he immediately walked to Xu Qing's side, smiled heartily and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Moore, I'm glad to meet you too, to be honest, I thought the president of NBC should be an old man with gray hair, but I didn't expect it to be a handsome middle-aged man. ”

Xu Qing stretched out his hand to hold it, and also complained in his heart, are the smiles of NBC people so hearty.

"It's the first time I've heard someone compliment me on being handsome, I'm very happy, thank you for the compliment. "Moore is in a good mood.

"People who think you're not handsome should have something wrong with your aesthetics. Moore looked a little narcissistic, Xu Qing quickly jumped away from the handsome topic and said:

"Mr. Moore, your time is precious, so I'll just say it, how much is NBC going to spend on the idea of 'Got Talent'?"

Xu Qing didn't want to go around in circles with these old foxes in the workplace, and at the same time deliberately asked in a tone that was in line with that of an 18-year-old young man, so that Xu Qing seemed to be an impatient and immature young man.

Moore didn't answer, first asked Xu Qing to sit on the sofa, asked the secretary to bring two cups of coffee, and then said:

"Mr. Xu, we at NBC met yesterday to discuss the creative value of 'Got Talent' and came to the conclusion that the idea of 'Got Talent' is worth up to $2 million. ”

"So NBC is going to buy the idea of 'Got Talent' for $2 million?"
