941 Flying Against the Wind (11)
Cheng Xiaoyu said calmly: "Mr. Dilanke, it's really not a matter of price...... I just heard that your company seems to have some financial problems, so I was a little hesitant...... We also approached you because the last Frankenstein company went bankrupt......" He said this just to test Dilanco. Buzz. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dilanco. When Buzz heard Cheng Xiaoyu's words, he felt annoyed that his heart was exposed, and replied with a tough attitude: "If Mr. Cheng thinks it's a price problem, we still have to talk about it, if it is not trusting our company, then I can only send off the guest......"
Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care, Di Lanke. Buzz sneered again and said, "If you are reluctant to pay money, go find a small company in Neon and South Korea!" They can do it for you for 500,000 dollars...... To be honest, I don't think your movie is a top special effects production company like ours..... "It's not that he hasn't dealt with Chinese people, and he knows that Chinese people love face and are the most excited, so he sneered at it to see if he could get unexpected results."
Cheng Xiaoyu from Dilanke. Buzz's performance didn't see much useful things, and he couldn't be 100% sure that the other party was bluffing, so he could only say calmly: "Mr. Dilanco, please believe in my sincerity...... We'll also meet ..... "He doesn't want to make the relationship worse for the time being, and if there is no financial crisis in the 'digital realm', then maybe the only way to do it is to work with them in the end."
But Dilanco. Buzz didn't know that Cheng Xiaoyu's idea had hit his company, just looking at Cheng Xiaoyu's expression, he felt that it must be no fun, so his mood was also at the bottom, if it was two or three million dollars to take over the job, even if he could get a million contract money, it would be meaningless for him, he still had to count on a loan, if there was no loan, and this month's salary would be released, then this month would definitely not be mixed, not to mention that the other party was not necessarily so willing to spend so much money on these non-critical shots.
So he waved his hand disheartenedly and said without looking at Cheng Xiaoyu: "Four million and a half million US dollars, the contract fee is three million, if you think it is suitable, you can come, I won't send it..... Emily... Send these two gentlemen out......"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't because of Di Lanke. Buzz's contemptuous attitude was not upset, and he reached out to deal with Dilanco. Buzz politely shook his hand, but Dilanco. Buzz didn't even look at him, and walked out of the data room, and he could only take his hand back in some embarrassment.
Emily, the beautiful and sexy female secretary, walked out of the data room and hurriedly said sorry: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, our boss ...... That's how temper ......"
Cheng Xiaoyu rarely smiled at the strange woman and said, "Is it a bad temper?" Still in a bad mood? ”
Emily didn't answer Cheng Xiaoyu's question, but said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, please ...... here."
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't ask, and followed the blonde-haired Emily outside.
When he walked out of the reference room, when he was in the corridor where no one was around, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly said to Emily: "Miss Emily, I don't know if I have the honor to meet you?" ”
Emily didn't expect this handsome rich man who looked a little indifferent to take the initiative to talk to her, and showed a flattered smile and said, "Of course you can..... Mr. Cheng ....."
Cheng Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and handed it to Emily and said, "Then please save your phone number, I want to wait for you to have time and ask you to have a meal......"
Emily took the phone, and after depositing the phone, she said with a somewhat ambiguous smile: "Mr. Cheng...... I'm free as long as it's night......"
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the gate, there were other people here, Cheng Xiaoyu whispered: "Then we will contact ..... by phone" and then winked at Emily, and walked out of the gate with David......
Cheng Xiaoyu threw the key to David, motioned for him to drive, and waited for the car, David fastened his seat belt and teased: "I thought you had a prejudice against us Americans?" I've never seen you deal with girls who flatter you........"
Cheng Xiaoyu is still very popular with girls on the set, rich, generous, good-looking and good-looking, who doesn't like it? It's just that Cheng Xiaoyu is extremely serious on the set, and he has always been unpretentious, and he never responds to the girl's overtures.
As soon as David's ridicule fell, Cheng Xiaoyu received a text message from Wilson, Cheng Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone, took a closer look, and found that as he expected, there was a problem with the "digital field", so he turned his head and smiled and said to David: "What did you just say?" Let's go to the post-production room now! Strive to cut out the first film in a few days......"
David started the car, turned his head in some surprise and asked, "Oh! It's nothing! Don't you go to other companies and ask? Didn't do the special effects? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu shook the mobile phone in his hand and said, "Of course the special effects have to be done, but I have other ideas now.......
David shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask Cheng Xiaoyu about his sudden change of mind, he was just a temporary worker, so there was no need to care so much.
On the way, Cheng Xiaoyu sent another text message to Emily, asking her to have dinner together in the evening, and after getting a positive answer.
Cheng Xiaoyu asked David to book an expensive restaurant, bought a bouquet of flowers, and went in to buy a watch when passing by the Cartier store, David was shocked that this young boss was so presumptuous and bold when his girlfriend was around, he originally thought that Cheng Xiaoyu was a decent gentleman who didn't love women, but he didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to be a veteran of flowers.
Cheng Xiaoyu and David were in the rented post-studio in the afternoon, and they were busy until the afternoon, "Xichu" had not yet done their own post-studio, so they could only be rented, and when it was time to have dinner, Cheng Xiaoyu asked David to go back first, and he drove to the "Melisse" restaurant that he had made an appointment with Emily.
This is the best French restaurant in Los Angeles, with two Michelin stars, and the consumption of two people is generally about 10,000 Chinese dollars, and if you order a good bottle of red wine, you can casually get 20,000 yuan, which is also very expensive in the United States......
It stands to reason that foreigners eat this kind of high-end French food, and generally dress a little more formally, but in the United States it is not so particular, Cheng Xiaoyu stood at the door of the restaurant with flowers and waited for Emily in professional clothes to arrive, and immediately greeted him, handed the flowers up, and said gently: "Miss Emily, thank you for your willingness to appreciate the light, this bouquet of fragrant caryophyllus is given to you as beautiful as a flower." "There are more than 30 festivals in the United States every year, and the vast majority of relatives and friends give flowers between relatives and friends in major festivals, among which caryophyllus is an important cut flower, which is especially favored by people, and it is not appropriate to send roses, so Cheng Xiaoyu chose to send caryophyllus.
Emily didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to stand at the door and wait for her, and bought flowers, which was quite surprising, and hurriedly thanked her after taking the flowers.
Cheng Xiaoyu called the waiter to take a seat, ordered the most expensive package and Lafite, and saw that Emily was a little restrained, so he casually found a topic and began to chat with her, he didn't know any Hollywood stars, so he could only start chatting with Catherine......
Women are born to gossip, after chatting for a few words, the two became acquainted, and when the wine was on the table, Cheng Xiaoyu poured wine desperately, and took the opportunity to send a watch to Emily, Emily refused at first, but Cheng Xiaoyu was really sincere, she only thought that Cheng Xiaoyu was interesting to her, so she accepted it.
The attitude towards Cheng Xiaoyu was also more intimate, and when the drink was a little high, Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Emily.... How long have you been working in the 'digital realm'? ”
Emily was defenseless against Cheng Xiaoyu at this time, and she did drink a lot of uprightness, and said, "It's been more than six years......"
"As one of the four major special effects companies in Hollywood, your income should be good, right?"
"The ones who earn the most are special effects masters..... Clerks like ours earn a very average income...... And last month, half of my salary was deducted and I didn't pay it......"
"Oh? Why? Is there really some financial problem in your company......"
A top special effects company like ours has maintained a good profitability in the past few years, because it is not modest to focus enough on special effects production and make special effects industry-leading, our company and 'Industrial Light & Magic' should be the founder and leader of this industry, although the company has changed hands several times in the past few decades, but the overall strength has been maintained at the top level in Hollywood.
It's just that in 07 years, the company's management changed blood once, the company began to diversify, and opened a branch of Florita, animation and education and other aspects want to dabble, so the front is too long, and the profit is not as fast as imagined, as a result, it didn't take long for the company's overall operation to begin to deteriorate, especially after the listing, the stock price has been low, and now there are some problems in the capital chain...... If you don't raise money by the end of the month, you're in danger of going bankrupt......"
Cheng Xiaoyu said with some surprise: "The situation is so serious? ”
"Mr. Cheng, although there is a problem with the funds, but the strength of our company really does not say, the asset situation is not bad, but this tone has not been eased, and it is normal for American companies to go bankrupt, if you really want to find our company to do special effects, as long as you bid three million US dollars, and are willing to pay a lump sum, I think the boss will agree........ In this way, our company can also get through a difficult time..... For you, too, get the friendship of our company....... It's the best of both worlds......"
Cheng Xiaoyu temporarily toasted Emily with another glass of wine, and then said lightly: "Is only three million enough?" ”
Emily thought that Cheng Xiaoyu just wanted to get the production contract at a low price, so she said without hesitation: "To solve the problem completely, three million is definitely not enough, but if it can survive this month, the loan will come down next month...... Wells Fargo's revolving credit facility expired just last month, and it will take some time for the materials to be approved..... As long as you can survive this time..... The company will get better....."
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, feeling that the matter was half successful, and asked disapprerovitously: "Your company's situation is so bad, will the bank still lend money?" ”
Emily felt that Cheng Xiaoyu had already moved, so she patiently and explained in detail: "It doesn't matter if the bank doesn't lend, it won't affect your shot production, the bankruptcy protection of our American company is completely different from insolvency, if the bankrupt party asks for the restructuring of the company, then they will have a 120-day protection period, they can continue to do business without being collected, and at this time, as long as the company auctions off some business, it can continue to survive. It's just that our boss is a little reluctant to develop the business that has worked so hard to develop, so he has never wanted to go to the last step of bankruptcy protection. ”
Hearing Emily say it so clearly, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "That's great......."
