Chapter Twenty-Five: At a New York Bank
Arriving at Wells Fargo by car, a banner was planted on the bank, and a group of people got out of the car and walked towards the inside of Wells Fargo.
Is there anything you need?
Leicester's group of ten people walked into the bank very conspicuously, which immediately attracted the attention of some people, and the manager stepped forward to interrogate;
My name is Emmanuel, and we've made an appointment with your president.
Emmanuel stepped forward and said;
Before they arrived, they had already called the governor of the bank, Gervin, to inform him to discuss business around Leicester services.
After thinking about it for a while, the manager remembered that the president told him that someone would come to negotiate with them, and the ten people in front of him should be the customers that the president said, and raised his hand to the front and said, "The president told me, please follow me to the reception room." ”
The group followed the manager and walked into the reception room under the gaze of some people.
Ladies and gentlemen, the president will be here soon, please take care of yourself!
The manager completed his task and walked outside, as a bank manager, he had to solve related matters outside every day, and he couldn't be with them.
After a few moments, Governor Govin walked in with his team.
After 10 days of negotiations with Bertram Fields, Wells Fargo evaluated Leicester and concluded that it was a developing customer who was shown to be an A-rated customer.
Hello!
The two teams greeted each other and sat down in their chairs and started talking.
As soon as he sat down, Bertram Fields took ten contract plans out of his bag and placed them in front of Gervin. "This is the plan we have drawn up, which has questions about the companies that need you and my team to help Mr. Lester acquire and the funds to apply, you can take a look." ”
Gervin and his team picked up the contract plan and read it, carefully reading the acquisition plan that Lester had asked Bertram Fields to draw up, and the acquisition plan in it was very important that they signed a contract with the team brought by Lester and started to lay it out together.
All you need to buy are distribution companies and production companies, which are the two most important things to do in Hollywood, and Lester's plan is to learn from Lionsgate, which is to build a company, acquire equipment and small production companies and distribution companies, and integrate them to form a complete film company.
In this way, production and distribution are grasped, and there is no need to go to the door to beg people.
Leicester didn't want to be like DreamWorks when it was first founded, lacking distribution, being restricted everywhere in Hollywood, and being traded in front of the Big Eight.
Gervin and his team watched and talked to the team next to them, sometimes asking Emmanuel and Bertram Fields what they were talking about, gradually revising what wasn't working in the contract plan.
From the moment he entered, Lester became a spectator, watching Emmanuel and Bertram Fields talk to Gwen, and sometimes Lester would interject a few words to talk to Gwen about his opinion.
In such a professional negotiation, a team is much better than a single person, and a lot of trouble is omitted!
Mr. Lester, let me ask, do you have any plans for the future of opening a film and television company?
Gervin and the Chief Risk Officer exchanged their opinions, and turned to Leicester asked solemnly;
Gervin had to ask clearly, he didn't want their team to invest in the wrong people, which would cost them money.
Yes!
Hearing Gwen's words, Lester naturally understood their concerns, and said with confidence;
"Then let's sign the contract!
Getting Lester's words, Gervin took the contract from his lawyer and put it in front of Lester.
Picking up the contract, Lester didn't open it to look at it, but handed it to Bertram Fields to see if there was anything wrong with the contract!
"No problem, this contract can be signed. ”
Bertram Fields looked through the contract, and when he didn't find any loopholes, he put it in front of Lester and said;
"Thank you for believing in me. ”
Lester signed his name, put away his contract, pushed Gwen's over it, and said with a smile on his face;
Happy working together!
The two parties agreed, and Lester saw that he had nothing to do with him, so he walked out of Wells Fargo.
The rest was represented by Wells Fargo: Corbien... Working with the team at Bertram Fields LLP to begin the process of laying out what Lester calls the acquisition plan, a risk assessment of the small film studios and distributors that need to be acquired.
…
After exiting Wells Fargo, Lester separated from Emmanuel and drove to New York City's downtown at the southern end of Manhattan.
This Chinatown compared to San Francisco, when you walk in, you will hear Cantonese and Mandarin as if it were yesterday, most of them are Chinese, and a small number of people of different colors are all kinds of people.
The red style around makes Lester think that he has entered China.
When you come to New York, Leicester has to take a trip to Chinatown to see the style of other cities.
Walking into a Sichuan restaurant, Lester spoke to the boss in fluent Chinese, in a stunned manner... Give me a copy of Kung Pao Chicken, spicy shrimp, thank you!
Okay, wait a minute.
The boss came back to his senses, hurriedly wrote down the name of Rice's characteristic dish, and said in a hurry;
While waiting for the food, Lester took out an A4 paper and began to write the script again, the last time he wrote "Stuttering" in the Starbucks café, this time because he came to New York, Lester remembered Wall Street with financial services.
There was a script about the movie, which reminded Lester of a financial crime film he saw in later generations: the movie "Wall Street".
The film tells the story of the greedy stock market: the tycoon Gordon, who unscrupulously manipulates the stock market behind the scenes and is finally brought to justice.
According to the plot of the movie he saw, Lester wrote it little by little, and when he got to one place, the writing hand paused, suddenly thought of something, and continued to write.
Lester decided to keep the company's initial film script IP, even if he didn't shoot it, he could shoot it for the directors who cooperated with the company, bringing income to the company.
After a while, Rice's characteristic Sichuan cuisine was served, and he put down the script that had not yet been written, and ate it.
As soon as the dish was eaten, the familiar taste that had not been seen for a long time echoed in the taste buds, and Leicester devoured it a little.
After eating the food he ordered, finishing the script of "Wall Street" and putting it in his bag, Lester paid the money for the meal to the boss and drove back to the hotel.
Lester walked into the presidential suite and shouted to Emmanuel, who was sitting in the living room, "Book me two tickets back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and you and I will go to the copyright union tomorrow."
What are you doing there!
Emmanuel was slightly stunned and asked inexplicably;
Damn, I now remember that I haven't registered the copyright yet.
Lester said with a smile and tears for his own forgetfulness;
Okay, I'll go right away.
Emmanuel came to his senses, got up and walked out of the hotel, heading towards the airport.
When writing the script of "Wall Street", Lester thought about the issue of royalties, and in order to avoid encountering similarities and unauthorized use of the copyrights of the characters in his novels, Lester decided to protect his copyright issues and register with the union!
