Chapter 61: Negotiation

On top of the delicate white clay plate, a silver dinner knife is unhurriedly cutting a piece of beef full of sauce on the plate, and slowly sending it into the owner's mouth.

Wu Xiejian wiped his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly and glanced at the young man sitting opposite him, this little guy is really calm, as if he really just came to eat.

"Hey, Wu Sheng didn't eat it?" Ye Jianren asked in surprise.

"I'm full. Wu Xiejian replied.

"Then wait for me later, I'll have to eat some more, a little less at noon. Ye Jianren replied without raising his head.

Wu Xiejian's expression froze slightly, from the meeting to the present half an hour, he has unconsciously fallen to the upper hand, this feeling is very bad. Seeing that Ye Jianren was not in a hurry, he took a deep breath, calmed down the restless mood in his heart, and quietly waited for Ye Jianren to finish his meal.

After another while, Ye Jianren finally swallowed the last piece of beef on the plate. Li Ruolan, who was accompanying her, immediately handed over a napkin obediently, and Ye Jianren took the napkin and glanced at her approvingly.

The reason why he took Li Ruolan with him during the negotiation was for this, to gain the upper hand in momentum and occupy the initiative in the negotiation. In addition, if the negotiation reaches an impasse, you can also come out to play a round and liven up the atmosphere, because a young and beautiful young woman always has some privileges.

"The beef tasted good. Ye Jianren wiped his mouth and put down the napkin and said.

"Yes, their Western food is really good. Wu Xiejian said with emotion, "When I was still doing drama work on the Great Wall, every time I received a salary after the play, I would come here to order a steak." Over the years, my company has grown into one of Hong Kong's leading independent production companies, but the taste of the steaks here remains the same. ”

Although the tone of his words was emotional, it made Ye Jianren, who was sitting opposite him, frown. He understood the hidden meaning of Wu Xiejian's words, which was nothing more than relying on the old and selling the old, condescending to look down on himself as an elder.

"Wu Shengnian has already begun to feel nostalgic for life when he is fifty years old, could it be that he is really old?" Ye Jianren said mercilessly.

This tit-for-tat remark made Wu Xiejian's brows furrow, and unlike his words just now, this sentence was already naked irony.

"After giving birth to a child, the fire is prosperous. Wu Xiejian said with a smile, "This is not a good thing." ”

"I don't think so. Ye Jianren took a sip of coffee and said, "Youth is capital, if you don't be impulsive, when you are old, you will shrink back from your sister, and you won't dare to do anything, you can only follow others to pick up food and eat." ”

"Being able to pick up food and eat is also a skill. When my sixth brother first picked up the guide tube to shoot in Indonesia, he chose a very novel human-animal movie, but the box office was not satisfactory. And I am in Xiangjiang, and I have always pursued the strategy of shooting whatever subject matter is popular. Over the years, the total box office of Xieli's films has ranked among the top three in Hong Kong. It can be said that we are just a cinema line with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. ”

Ye Jianren almost squirted out the coffee in his mouth when he heard the last sentence, I thought I was already shameless, you are really a little bit compared to you, how can you say this.

"Wu Sheng, if Xieli Company is really like you said, then we don't need to sit here today. Ye Jianren said, "Let's not talk darkly, you sincerely want to sell Xieli Company, and I also want to buy it, so you can always make a price." ”

Wu Xiejian pondered for a moment and slowly raised three fingers.

"Three million? impossible, you might as well grab it. Ye Jianren shouted, "Xieli Company is only more than other leather bag companies through multiple distribution channels, at most one million." ”

Wu Xiejian frowned and said: "It seems that Ye Sheng has not done an investigation before, in addition to the distribution channels, my Xieli Company also has two sets of shooting equipment, sixty film copyrights, nearly ten contracted directors and artists, and more than forty behind-the-scenes personnel......"

"Shooting equipment is a chicken rib for a company like ours that has just been established, so why buy it if I can rent a better one for less money. And the copyright of those 60 films, the highest box office is only one million, and in my opinion, it is worthless. As for film practitioners, our company has been recruiting, and we have already recruited dozens of them, as long as I am given time, I can always recruit them. Ye Jianren said.

"Time is money, and if money can buy something, why waste that time. Wu Xiejian said.

"That's right, time is money, and even more so for Wu Sheng. Ye Jianren nodded and continued, "Now the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is the hottest time, property prices and housing prices change three times a day, and entering the market for one day every night means that a lot of money flows in front of you." Wu Sheng intends to quit, so why not make a decision early?"

"Two million and seven million!" Wu Xiejian said, "Even if I want to get rid of it as soon as possible, I can't do a loss-making deal." ”

"It's too expensive. Ye Jianren shook his head, "It seems that it is difficult for me to reach an agreement with Wu Sheng on the value of Xieli Company for the time being, and what is like chicken ribs in my eyes is so valuable in Wu Sheng's eyes." It's better to dismantle the company and negotiate. I paid 500,000 yuan to buy the distribution channel of Xieli Company, and I didn't want anything about production. In this way, Wu Sheng can also reorganize the remaining assets of the company into a complete production company, and maybe he can sell it at a price that meets your psychological expectations. ”

"Ye Sheng, I think you're here to entertain me, right?" Wu Xiejian said with a cold face.

"I came according to Wu Sheng's wishes. Ye Jianren shrugged his shoulders, "Although the two of us have huge differences in other assets of the company, there is not much difference in the distribution channels. In this case, taking it apart and selling it is not a loss for Wu Sheng, and I can accept it. ”

"I will never open and sell Xieli Company. Wu Xiejian said in a firm tone, he understands very well that the most valuable thing about Xieli Company is the relatively perfect distribution channel, if the distribution channel is removed, the remaining things are not much worse than the leather bag company.

"Well, I'll take a step back, two and a half million. ”

"One and a half million, Xieli Company is only worth so much at most. Ye Jianren said.

"Ye Sheng, is this your sincerity?" Wu Xiejian said angrily.

"Now, you lowered 500,000, and I raised 500,000, which is very fair. Otherwise, I'll suffer a loss, let's neutralize it again, and I'll buy two million. Ye Jianren said with a smile.

"Ye Sheng, we're talking about business, not playing house!" Wu Xiejian's face flushed, and he was on the verge of breaking out at any time.

Ye Jianren hurriedly kicked Li Ruolan under the table, Li Ruolan suddenly came to her senses, and said coquettishly: "Don't be angry, Mr. Wu, we have only been in the industry for a short time, and we are not very familiar with the market, so we may have deviations in the asset valuation of Xieli Company." We'll study and study it when we go back, and we'll get back to you after a while, and you'll take advantage of this time to think about it. After all, more than two million is not a small amount, so you can't just make a decision so easily. ”

Wu Xiejian took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's get here first today, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, Ye Sheng doesn't need to send it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Jianren to speak, he picked up his clothes and left directly.

"I think he's really angry. Li Ruolan looked at his back and said worriedly.

"Angry? How can such a refined old guy get angry so easily, just to show me, hoping to put some pressure on me. Ye Jianren put his arm around Li Ruolan's waist and said, "You did well just now, I'll treat you at night." ”

"I'm going home in the evening. Li Ruolan hesitated.

"Didn't you say you were going to take revenge on your husband? Ye Jianren pressed her ear and said, "Don't go back, I want to try your back tonight!"
