Cameron took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm calm, say?". (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) [This chapter is provided to you]
"What do you want me to say?", Chen Kangjie asked rhetorically.
"Hell, just say anything, I don't have that much time for 'làng' fees", Cameron almost jumped again.
"Look, I just tried to see if you were really calm, but you really weren't calm, Mr. Cameron, I look down on you, you're really a crappy businessman, tsk, it's a pity to ......", Chen Kangjie smiled and stood up to leave.
"'hún' egg, come back, the words haven't been clear, how can you just leave? This is very irresponsible", Cameron drank Chen Kangjie and them, Chen Kangjie despised him again in front of him, it was strange that he could not be angry.
"I'm trying to make it clear, but...... It's almost the same if you really hold the resistance "xìng", Chen Kangjie has always been tepid, which is a typical use of softness to overcome rigidity in Tai Chi.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Long,...... Sit down, shall we talk?", Cameron said softly, his face almost "chōu".
Seeing Cameron being squeezed like this by Jie Shao, Bob almost couldn't help laughing, he was in pain now, and there were "chōu" tendons in his stomach, and Jie Shao was indeed Jie Shao.
Chen Kangjie knows that a person like Cameron has a temper, arrogance, and talent, and if he wants to sit down with him honestly, he must first be "bī" in the corner. From a professional point of view, Chen Kangjie has no way to "bī" him in terms of directorial achievements, one is a Taishan Beidou-type character, and the other is a fledgling little shrimp, so Chen Kangjie can only find another way to belittle him from a business point of view, who called Mr. Cameron a novice in business, and Chen Kangjie turned into a veteran?
This method really worked, and Cameron, the irascible cheetah, was squeezed by Chen Kangjie and put away his claws and hidden his fangs.
"It seems that Mr. Cameron is a little sincere, Bob, if you are not hungry, then let's sit down again!", Chen Kangjie seemed to be reluctant, which also indicates that the initiative in the negotiation has been transferred from the other party to Chen Kangjie's hands.
"I've eaten a lot at noon, I'm full!", Bob said, patting his stomach.
"Mr. Cameron, I didn't mean to offend just now, but it doesn't mean that what I said is not the truth, your identity at the moment is a businessman, not a director, so as long as there is a way to help maximize profits, I don't think you can let it go, I see that you have a small area here, and there are not many staff, I think, you should take Industrial Light & Magic as the target of competition, not other small companies, you can only compete with it if you are strong quickly" , Chen Kangjie returned to his seat and sat down, and began to lecture Cameron.
"It seems that you understand me, even if what you say makes sense, then what can you do?", after listening carefully to Chen Kangjie's words, Cameron wiped his forehead and said in a deep voice.
It seems that Chen Kangjie's words speak to his heart, as an excellent director, Cameron is definitely unwilling, in the field of directing, there is not much gap between him and Lucas, but in terms of running a company, Industrial Light & Magic can now be said to be the overlord in the field of special effects, and it stands out. If you want to say that the proud Cameron is not targeting and competing with Industrial Light and Magic, he doesn't believe it when he kills Chen Kangjie, so he says so.
"We know that it is very 'huā' money to do special effects and develop special effects technology, I don't know if you are short of money now, and all I can provide here is money," Chen Kangjie said with confidence.
"Nonsense, if there is no shortage of money, we will put the company in this hellish place? If there is no shortage of money, we will be so "hún" and "luàn" here now? I was just reading a plan to get a loan from the bank", Cameron's temper was a little uncontrollable, but when he saw Chen Kangjie's always smiling face again, his raised voice lowered again.
"Looking for a bank loan, how much are you going to borrow?", Chen Kangjie heard about Cameron looking for a bank loan for the first time, and he was a little surprised, because Cameron, as a director, should also be considered a wealthy person.
"I have already spent $20 million with Stan to set up this company and buy the equipment downstairs, most of which is my savings, I just bought an $11 million villa in Beverly Hills last year, so I am a little tight on money, in order to grow the company, I discussed with Stan and plans to borrow $50 million from the bank", James Cameron slowly told him why he wanted to take out a loan.
Although James Cameron's partner Stan Winwinston is a special effects genius, he is not as wealthy as Cameron as a director, so in the process of cooperation, Cameron has to make a big head.
"You don't need to borrow money from the bank, I'll provide you with funds, the bank's interest is not easy to repay", Chen Kangjie followed Cameron's line of thought, anyway, he had already said that the last thing he lacked was money.
"How much can you give?", since someone is willing to offer, of course it is better than taking a loan from a bank, Cameron immediately asked.
"50 million or 100 million US dollars, you choose", Chen Kangjie stretched out two fingers.
"What about the conditions, you won't provide such a large amount of money for no reason, right?"
"Of course, we are not doing charity, if we provide 50 million US dollars, then we hope to be able to obtain 49% of the equity in the digital field, if we provide 100 million US dollars, then we hope to be able to obtain 51% of the equity, the choice is in your hands", Chen Kangjie prescribed a seemingly unreasonable condition.
It stands to reason that the investment in the digital field is only 20 million US dollars, and Chen Kangjie can come up with 50 million US dollars, which is enough to obtain all the equity, and Chen Kangjie only needs 49% of the equity, and what is even more strange is that Chen Kangjie only asked for an increase of two points of equity when he increased his equity by 50 million US dollars, which is only a weak holding, which is a bit unbelievable.
Listening to Chen Kangjie's conditions, Cameron didn't say anything for a long time, not only Cameron was strange, but even Bob was strange, this was completely a loss-making business.
"Did I hear me right?", Cameron asked after a moment.
"You heard it right, that's it", Chen Kangjie nodded firmly.
"Why?", Cameron asked, frowning.
"Because you're worth that much, frankly, it's worth at least $200 million just for you and Stan Winwinston," Mr. Chan said.
"Your terms are very good, but I'm not going to accept it," Cameron replied in surprise.
With such generous conditions, Cameron actually gave up, Bob next to him couldn't figure it out, and Chen Kangjie couldn't figure it out either, this guy was completely a person who didn't play cards according to common sense.
"Can you tell me a reason? You won't accept it?", Chen Kangjie asked with the greatest patience.
"Because I have a third way to cooperate, hehe", Cameron finally didn't see the smile on Chen Kangjie's face, and said with a little sense of superiority to achieve a small victory.
"What is the third form of cooperation? Let's hear it," as long as the negotiations do not break down, Chen Kangjie is willing to continue.
"You gave $50 million in cash and transferred the film rights to K.J.'s novel Harry 'bō' and got a 51 percent stake in the digital space," Cameron said in a rustling tone.
"Hehe, now I'm starting to think that you are a 'jīng' businessman", Chen Kangjie said the complete opposite of before, "The film copyright of Harry 'bō' is not only worth 50 million US dollars, but it is seven movies, and the copyright of each one is worth at least 25 million US dollars, and you want to get it for only 50 million US dollars, which is really greedy! Besides, I am not qualified to transfer the film and television rights of this novel, so I ...... Your conditions are even more ridiculous."
"I know that the rights to Harry's 'bō' will be expensive, or I wouldn't want it, and if you know K, I'll believe you can transfer it," Cameron is getting more and more into the businessman's corner.
"Putting aside the question of whether it can be transferred, but it is simply impossible, this is an unequal condition, Mr. Cameron, do you understand? It is not equal at all, you use less than a third of the price, but you want to get more than three times the benefit, where is such a good thing?".
"Long, if that's the case, then there's no way", Cameron also learned from Chen Kangjie, with his feet cocked up, with an attitude of loving to do nothing.
"You'd love to make that novel into a movie?"
"Of course," Cameron replied, turning his head.
"If that's the case, then I have a fourth plan, depending on whether you're interested."
"The fourth plan, let's talk about it, let's talk about it", Cameron's monkey eagerness showed that he was just bluffing just now, and Chen Kangjie, who noticed it, only smiled at it, he felt that this little old man was quite cute.
"The copyright can be owned by the two companies in the digital field and Feiyang Entertainment, and when the time comes, the film will be co-produced by the two companies, and you have to do one more thing for me," Chen Kangjie said in a compromise plan.
This plan, on the surface, it seems that Chen Kangjie has suffered a loss, but in fact he has not suffered at all, and the old "jiān" cunning Chen Kangjie will not do a loss-making business. In this way, he only transferred half of the copyright of "Harry's 'bō'" to the digital realm for $75 million, but he himself holds 51% of the shares in the digital realm, which is equivalent to only $37 million, which is a bargain.
"Yes, as long as the director is me, what else do I want to do for you?", when he heard that he could get the rights to "Harry's 'bō'" special, Cameron agreed without thinking so much.
"Be a photographer for a few days," Chan added.
"I'll be your photographer?".
"Oh, we're all colleagues, and I'm the boss again, can't you let you be a photographer for a few days to help?", Chen Kangjie didn't come up with real money, and began to call himself the boss.
