Chapter 487: The Name of the Flower (Asking for Subscription)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Walking out of the office building, the Mercedes Business Sedan was already waiting on the side of the road, Matthew and Helen Herman got into the car one after another, and the car started to leave, driving forward along Fifth Avenue.
"Helen, how much do you think they can promise?" asked Matthew.
"You're doing a great job. Helen Herman stepped up the baffle and instead of answering his question, she said, "It got a lot of favorable conditions for me to negotiate later." ”
Matthew deliberately joked, "I was going to give you a little more trouble. ”
Of course, this contact was not so smooth, in the face of a series of conditions he proposed, Marvel's senior management had no problem with their heads, so they naturally would not agree, this investment involved tens of millions of dollars, and then he would form a team headed by Helen Herman to start formal negotiations with Marvel.
He has already asked for a sky-high price, and the next step is to negotiate.
"I want to make one point, Helen. Matthew specially advised, "Other parties can make appropriate concessions, you must win the right to investment income for me in Marvel's follow-up superhero movies, the more the better." ”
Although after "The Avengers", especially the appearance of the Awkward Dance Troupe, his favorability of Marvel superhero movies quickly dropped to a negative number, but this series has been filmed so much, it must be able to make money.
Why should you have trouble with money?
Helen Herman was calm and said, "I know what to do. She then asked, "You're going to invest $40 million, can you come up with that much?"
Matthew shrugged his shoulders, "I have a lot of money in my hand, plus the salary I just got for "I Am Legend", it is estimated that there will be 20 million US dollars, which is enough as the first investment." ”
Helen Herman nodded and said, "I'm going to ask for an instalment in the negotiations. ”
"The remaining $20 million ......" Matthew calculated the time for the remaining two payments of "I Am Legend", and said that he might not be able to make it in time, "I will find a way to raise it." ”
The two then discussed a lot of the details of the negotiations, all the way up to the car arriving at the hotel where Matthew was staying.
Since Helen Herman had other work to attend to, after the Mercedes sedan arrived at the door of the hotel, Matthew was ready to get out of the car and let the driver follow Helen Herman for the time being.
Before getting out of the car, he thought of something and reminded, "If this "Iron Man" is a big hit, Marvel's stock is estimated to rise sharply. ”
Helen Herman nodded slightly, "I understand. ”
Matthew didn't say anything more, got out of the car and entered the hotel, and after returning to the room, he first called his stockbroker and told him that he would buy Marvel retail shares on the market in the near future, and collect as much as he could.
Actually, if you buy it now, it's a little late, but he's just an ordinary person, like the Hollywood movie itself, you can still think of it, and the related investments involved are not very sensitive, after all, the level used to be a bit low, and now the neck is also an ordinary person's head, neither has an extraordinary memory, nor does it bring Google or Du Niang, it is impossible to be all-encompassing.
Anyway, he already has a lot of Apple stocks in his hands, if he remembers correctly, it is not a few years before the kidney machine goes public, even if the future investment fails, it is always not a problem to eat and wait for death.
dared to invest so much money in "Iron Man" at one time, on the one hand, he had relevant memories, and on the other hand, he had prepared this retreat for a long time.
However, Apple's bulk shares are now difficult to buy, in the past two years, Apple's performance has been gradually rising, although there is no news about kidney machine circulating in the market, but the stock has also shown a clear upward trend.
Matthew will not sell, intending to hold it for a long time, and the dollar is constantly depreciating anyway.
Hanging up, he thought for a moment and dialed David Ellison's number again, ready to borrow some money from the real rich man.
On the phone, Matthew directly said that he might have to borrow some money, the amount is about 10 million dollars, David Ellison thought for a while, and said in a joking tone that he would pay interest at the bank rate......
Although it was not finalized, the two made an appointment to go back to Los Angeles to meet and talk, if David Ellison is willing to borrow, Matthew will of course pay him interest, and if there are other film investment opportunities in the future, they will also be appropriately introduced to David Ellison.
Maybe it's ten million dollars, which is really not a lot for David Ellison.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, he will go to the bank for a loan, and if he uses Horner Manor as collateral, it will not be a problem to borrow 20 million dollars at all.
As for selling stocks to raise money, he won't do it if he is killed.
Matthew knows very well that things always have to come step by step, and with an investment involving tens of millions of dollars like this, he can't be in a hurry, and if he is in a hurry, he is prone to make mistakes.
Back in the suite, sitting on the sofa, Matthew also hopes that there will be a good result in the future, not to mention getting the next twenty, as long as he can talk about five or six Marvel superhero movies in the future, he can also make a lot of money.
If possible, should you change it to a Marvel children's film?
For example, Captain America and Black Widow had no shame in their lives during World War II, the story of five superheroes and a Black Widow, the happy life of Iron Man and Pepper, etc......
These are still secondary, the main thing is to kill people!
The Avengers are at war with aliens, at war with God, at war with the villains of NB+1, and internal wars, can a few die?
Thinking of the end, Matthew suddenly had an epiphany, with the intelligence level of the villains in Marvel movies, it is normal not to kill people, after all, it is a villain who can be killed by awkward dances.
He complained 10,000 times in his heart, is there a movie that insults the audience's IQ more than the embarrassing dance troupe? Michael Bay made a group of oil workers go to outer space to drill holes, and the IQ of the embarrassing dance troupe is online, even if Optimus Prime is a machine rape, it is more reasonable than it.
Spit is complaining, investment is investment, Matthew is very clear about this.
In the future, if you make enough money, and you can really affect Marvel, you can try to change the style and route of Marvel superhero movies.
What kind of civil war is a civil war if you don't die a few, Ragnarok should at least be serious, the big collection of jokes should be moderate, is it a movie to make up a joke?
"Forget it. He shook his head, "Don't think about it, if you think about it any more, the embarrassing dance troupe will make people vomit again." ”
Meanwhile, in a hotel near Flushing Park, Sharapova sat in front of her computer and connected her phone to her laptop via a data cable.
She moved the mouse, clicked on the memory space of the phone, found a few pictures of Matthew's signature photos taken on her lap, copied them to the computer desktop, and then opened the browser to log in to her personal blog, found the clearest one from those pictures, and uploaded it to the blog.
After thinking about it, she found a photo of the US Open women's singles championship trophy from her mobile phone and uploaded it to this blog column.
"On September 9, 2006, the two most important gains in my life, the US Open championship and love. ”
Sharapova grew up in the United States most of her life and, like many American girls, does not hide her romance secretly.
After typing this paragraph, she clicked send, and this blog column was immediately sent.
"What is Ma Correction doing?" Sharapova stared at the picture on the computer screen, "are you thinking about me?"
She unplugged her phone from the data cable, flipped out Matthew's number in the phone book, hesitated, and didn't call, it's only half of the afternoon, Matthew may be talking to someone about work.
I'll call him later and invite him to tomorrow night's US Open winners' dinner.
Sharapova came back to her senses and found that in just a few moments, there had already been a large number of replies under the blog posted.
"What's going on, is Maria in love?"
"The man in the photo is so familiar, he seems to be a star, right?"
"That's Matthew Horner, the biggest Hollywood star. ”
"No, Mary and Matthew are in a relationship, I'm going to go and be quiet. ”
"How did Maria fall in love with Matthew Horner?
"Don't talk nonsense, Matthew is handsome and famous, and Maria is just the right match with him. ”
However, more replies were from her fans.
"Is Maria there? Can you make it clear that you're in a relationship with Matthew Horner?"
"Come out and tell us, give us the exact news. ”
Seeing this, Sharapova suddenly remembered how good it would be if there was an intimate photo with Matthew at this time, and everything would be clear when it was posted.
She ignored the questions of the fans on the blog, turned off the computer and stood up, ready to go to the men's singles final to have a look, originally not going to go, but the organizing committee had just called and sincerely invited her to appear at Arthur Ashe Stadium again.
It was there that she met Matthew for the first time.
In the morning, Matthew was photographed by the paparazzi when he sent Sharapova out of the hotel, and there was such a big movement last night, it was impossible for no news to leak out, and some gossip websites that reacted quickly have already appeared in the gossip scandal between him and Sharapova.
Many people are lamenting that the new US Open women's singles champion and Russian beautiful girl have fallen into the clutches of the devil......
Who knows, before it was night, someone broke the news that Sharapova updated her blog, and countless entertainment reporters poured in instantly, not only reprinting photos, but also issuing all kinds of fancy conjectures.
Of course, the most of them are like Matthew Horner and Maria Sharapova fell in love at first sight and have been officially dating.
When the US Open men's singles final started in the evening, Matthew's fans, who got the news, frantically squeezed into Sally Potter's blog, which not only made her blog swipe, but also temporarily paralyzed.
Matthew didn't know this, he had been hiding in his room to watch the Swiss Cows vs. Rocket Kids, and then received a call from Yelena Boyar, who learned about the scandal between him and Sharapova.
He really didn't expect Sharapova to take it seriously, didn't she know that he was famous?
