Chapter 54: Times Building
Back in the hotel room, Emmanuel answered the phone from Lester, who was nestled on the couch, and a report from Dimes and Chris came from the other side.
At the guest table was a copy of Time magazine, with Leicester on the cover.
In the past few days, he has been busy negotiating with the New York City government about the acquisition of the Times Building, Emmanuel has been busy for nine days, Lester has been here for nine days, and the new issue of Time Magazine has been sold a few days ago.
Emmanuel didn't bother Leicester's call, sat next to Lester, picked up the new issue of Time Magazine and flipped through it, listening to Lester's announcements from time to time.
Dimes' report is the simplest, it is related to the finalization of "Wall Street", it has been negotiated with the theater, and it will be set on the weekend of September 29th, for which Dimes has not bothered to talk to the theater chain, and the theater chain that originally refused to let go of the new issue of the newspaper published in "Time Magazine" exposed the relationship between Lester and the owner of Flying Bird Film and Television, it seems that Lester's propaganda made the "Time" reporter write it, and it was seen that his film work "Wall Street" was set for September 29, and finally let the theater line relax and promised to let "Wall Street" Set for the weekend of September 29.
If they can be asked to agree, it is estimated that it is also the relationship between the publicity of "Time Magazine" and the reputation of Leicester's author, which can make people enter the theater to watch it, so that they will agree to the film of a new film and television company.
After Dimes finished reporting on him, Chris took the phone from Dims' hand and reported the sales data of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and toys to Lester.
The new sales data report of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the sales data of comics from North America to various countries, continued to sell 17 million copies, because the sales of comics in North America were hot, and comic dealers in neighboring countries noticed that they began to order with Asuka Comics, which opened sales channels for Asuka Comics in other countries, and only then did Comics sales continue to rise.
In addition to Hasbro, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" toy was also released on RB, and although the sales of both sides were not as high as the sales of the manga, they also sold 8 million copies, bringing a lot of profits to both companies.
After listening to the two men's property income data report, Lester hung up the phone and began to ponder the company's funds, according to the finance department, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga and toys share the company's revenue of 480 million.
Although the 480 million in the 80s is worth more than the money of the 21st century, it is still not enough compared with those large companies.
Just like Sony's attack on Hollywood, it was $3.4 billion as soon as it was shot, and RB Panasonic entered Hollywood, and it has tens of billions of dollars at its disposal.
In order for the company not to be affected by these things in the future, Leicester must find a way to bring profits to the company.
Emmanuel looked through Time magazine for a while, saw all Lester's reports, put down Time magazine in his hand boredly, turned to Leicester, and asked about the movie: "The top file of "Wall Street" is September 29th. ”
Right," Rice nodded, pointed to Time Magazine and said: Talk to them about pushing back and forth, if I hadn't been on Time Magazine, I guess they would have arranged for a working day!
Emmanuel said with some disdain: "They're just a bunch of tsundere sluts. ”
"Don't talk about that, how about the Times Building. Lester digressed and asked about Emmanuel's busy business these days.
Emmanuel remembered the tiredness of dealing with the city government in the past few days, and said depressedly: "They are really difficult to deal with, but it has been negotiated, and we can go to see the Times Building in the afternoon." ”
"That's great," said Lester happily, not afraid that they would not be able to negotiate, but that they would not sell.
At noon, Lester and Emmanuel finished eating, and in the afternoon, led by the city government staff, they went downstairs to the Times Building of the New York Times.
The high floors need to be looked up to see above, and the front and left and right sides of the building are high-inch TV screens, stacked layer by layer, stacked to the top floor, and the new building has no advertising, showing a black screen.
Although the current TV screen is not as good as the HDTV screen that appeared in the 90s, it can be replaced in the future.
Looking at this Times Building, Lester was a little excited, in his eyes, this building was a beautiful knife with white flowers.
Times Tower is located in Times Square, New York, and when you walk in, you can see the 24-story building.
This will be the unique building of the New York Times in the future, and there will be people who will pay for the location for advertising, and now it will be his, which makes Lester's heart flutter and pound.
Walking into the Times Building, the interior is still being renovated, Leicester expects that the decoration will not be completed until at least March 85, after all, the next series of holidays will make the time longer.
The 24-story building, which cost a total of $180 million, was negotiated by Emmanuel, and Lester felt that it was very worthwhile.
From the first floor to the 24th floor, Lester and Emmanuel followed the New York City staff back to the city.
I walked into the city hall and met with the current mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
As Leicester, who was on the cover of Time magazine, Rudy Giuliani has seen the new issue of "Time" and naturally knows it, especially Bird Film and Television also dealt with them some time ago and promoted the movie for Wall Street.
When he met Lester himself, Rudy Giuliani naturally wanted to come forward to say hello and promote the mutual understanding, which could bring him a lot of benefits.
Lester greeted Rudy Giuliani and, under the supervision of the mayor, signed the contract for the purchase of the Times Building.
Lester and Emmanuel were about to go back to the hotel, and Rudy Giuliani enthusiastically wanted to treat them to dinner.
The mayor can't help but save face, especially if it can bring a lot of benefits to himself, and Lester accepted Rudy Giuliani's invitation.
A group of people eat, chat, and exchange business cards in a private room at a nearby restaurant.
After eating, the group chatted for a while, and Lester and Emmanuel returned to their hotel room.
Nestled on the sofa, Lester picked up Motorola's big brother mobile phone and called Dims, and when the opposite side was connected, he told Dims to send someone to follow up on the interior decoration of the Times Building, and inform him that the new Times Building in Times Square was his.
The money for the purchase of the Times Building, Leicester did not use the company's funds.
He bought the Times Building out of his own pocket, signed and paid the money, and Lester became a poor man again.
It was still early to break, and Lester sat in the living room with Emmanuel chatting.
After a while, the sound of the mobile phone rang, Lester picked up the mobile phone of Motorola Big Brother and connected it, and a deep voice came from the opposite side and said: "Little Lester, meet at your film and television company the day after tomorrow." ”
