"Bill~! How can you come up with 900 yuan, do you have so many resources in your European cinema chain to bet on? Don't think I don't know, your 12 theaters in Italy are about to go out of business~! ”

"Gary~ Don't tell me, you shouted out 700 yuan first, otherwise we won't pay a premium at all~!" "Don't make any noise~! Just follow the requirements of the respective boards! I'll give 900 yuan and divide it proportionally~! ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wari Sandro was also crying and laughing, these directors were full of green light, they were really afraid that they would have less benefits in the betting, and they were all blushing with excitement and thick necks, and they couldn't wait to step forward and pinch other people's necks, just to take advantage of more......

"Okay, everyone, we have limited time, and we have to reply to Li Xiaole's side immediately, so I need you to reach an agreement as soon as possible." Wari Sandro looked helplessly at the group of people who were carried away by interests, and persuaded:

"In this way, let's compress it according to the proportion you just had, and the total number of screens will remain at 2,000......

"Wari, I refuse, I've already discussed it with our board of directors, and this is our Zuihou bid." Gary Loew lowered his voice with a blushing face, if anyone is the first to agree, then he will lose the momentum in this internal negotiation, and if he doesn't get a share, he will definitely not show weakness.

"It's the bid that I also insist on~!" "Me too." The other directors are not stupid, and Gary Loew's inevitable appearance is also unflinching.

"Okay, you're not willing to back down, so let's give Iron Man 2,900 screens, I know you all don't care about that investment, but it increases the likelihood that our bet will fail." Wari Sandro raised his voice to try to make the situation clear to the guys who were all eyes on money.

"Wari~ Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, even if you give him an extra 900 yuan, "Iron Man" is far from the box office of 200 million, do you want to take more share of yourself?" Gary Loew glared coldly at Wari Sandro, leaving the gentle old man stunned.

"Well, in that case, let's decide." Wari Sandro's wrinkled face finally showed a look of displeasure, and he said to the secretary next to him: "Catherine, you go and draw up a contract, right away~." ”

Since the representatives of the four companies were unwilling to give up their interests, the meeting finally decided on the number of 2,900 screens, and Wari Sandro also negotiated with them whether to reduce it to 2,000 in proportion, but it was obvious that no one was willing to give up their interests at all.

Now the problem is, if it is set at 2,900 yuan, the previous 200 million box office betting standard is slightly lower, and the standard should be raised a little higher...... Although everyone knows that even if it is 2900 yuan plus 1200 original screens, the possibility of "Iron Man" reaching 200 million box office is almost zero, but the businessman gene is like this, and he always wants to reduce the risk.

Gary Loew proposed to Warry Sandro in a natural tone: "Wari, you call and ask Li Xiaole, we have an extra 900 screens, does he want to raise the standard of betting?" What should be a proportional increase? He looked back at the female secretary behind him.

"According to the decline in the box office and the number of screens, the gambling standard should be raised to 230 million ......," replied the beautiful white female secretary.

"Yes~~ then tell him that we are going to raise the box office standard to 230 million~~" Gary Loew shouted with his mouth wide open.

"This ...... I'm afraid he won't say yes. Wari Sandro felt that their side was a little too much when he heard this, people clearly only need 2,000 screens, and the directors of these theaters have increased by 900 yuan after their own internal struggles, and they have to cooperate with them, which is really ridiculous, it is strange that this time it involves the acquisition of equity, and the directors must come up with ideas, if it is the CEO of each company...... It certainly won't be such a naked greedy face.

"He won't agree? He didn't promise us not to give him even 2,000 screens, so he honestly waited until next year's release. Gary Loew sneered, with a fearless attitude, he didn't care whether Li Xiaole had invested in how much advertising the company had invested in before, and now Black Pearl Lianmei's life was in their hands, and they had the final say at this time.

Hearing this, Wari Sandro looked at the other directors with a blank face and nodded as a matter of course, and could only sigh in his heart, silently picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Li Xiaole's contact number.

"Hello, Lee, are you busy right now? Well...... That is true...... We've negotiated it on our side, but there was a little bit of a problem, and we were all very enthusiastic about this cooperation, so after the negotiation, we decided to lend more screens than the scheduled number, well, 900 more screens...... So what the directors mean is to see if you can raise the standard of the bet to a box office of 230 million proportionally......"

Wari Sandro was a little red when he said this, this is like a business negotiation, it is completely blackmail...... But when Wari Sandro was in a complicated mood, after hearing Li Xiaole's answer, he was suddenly stunned, and then responded with "um......" and "um......" in his mouth, but he was in a daze on the phone and didn't speak for a long time.

"Wari, what's wrong? Tell me if Li Xiaole agreed? Gary Loew urged.

"Hmm......" Wari Sandro reacted before he looked at the others with a strange expression and said stupidly: "He said that he accepted this new condition, hoping that there will be more screens, and Black Pearl United States can raise the standard of gambling proportionally......"

"He still wants to ......?" Gary Love's expectant expression froze instantly, he held his chin and thought for a moment, turned his head to look at a director with a nervous expression, and hurriedly asked:

"Jackson, don't you have some economic advisers in China, immediately check the status of Black Pearl China, see if this company has any illegal behavior, and then ask the China Film Bureau whether it will introduce any new policies to restrict private film companies?"

The directors are not idiots, and this kind of pie in the world is too easy, which makes everyone more vigilant.

After 2 hours, the call from the Chinese side finally came, and the conclusion was: "Black Pearl China is operating well, there is no underground illegal behavior, and Black Pearl Company has just been named "Best Enterprise of the Year" by the China Film Bureau, and the manager Ha Ji Won was selected as "Outstanding Filmmaker" by the leaders of the Film Bureau. ”

"Is this unreasonable? Could it be that Li Xiaole fantasizes that "Iron Man" can get more than 200 million box office? Gary Loew looked at the directors quizzically...... Wondering if there are any other possibilities.

"Could it be like this...... said the white director, who has an adviser to China's economy, cautiously.

"I heard from my consultant that although Black Pearl Company has the right to produce films, its film distribution rights are still in the hands of China Film Group, and China Film Group has been increasing its cooperation with Hollywood to shoot Sino-US co-productions, but there is a lot of opposition from public opinion, do they want to take this opportunity to throw Black Pearl China to us, so that we can carry out in-depth cooperation?"

This inference is quite absurd, but everyone can't seem to find a more reasonable explanation, Gary Loew finally smiled excitedly, hahadaxiao said: "So, we really picked up a big bargain for nothing~~" No matter what the reason, at least Li Xiaole's bet is irresistible.

"That's it, let's not add the screen to cheapen this Chinese kid, according to the previous agreement." Gary Loew looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Everyone nodded excitedly in agreement, and all fell into a kind of lottery winning ecstasy.

Only Arthur of the Hoyt-era theater has been watching the farce with a cold eye...... These stupid people, they are all thinking now, when Black Pearl United States falls, they will also take the opportunity to make some benefits, can't such idiot directors see that if "Iron Man" wins this time, maybe the development of the five will be better. Arthur scolded softly, "A bunch of idiots ......" got up and left the scene of the commotion.

That night, when Li Xiaole was falling asleep with Ha Ji Won in China, the directors of the Century Cinema Alliance were all in a state of excitement after the morning meeting, and everyone was starting to release new financing news in the company's management group email, Black Pearl China, the second largest film company in East Asia, was about to enter their pockets~~

A few days later, the two sides officially signed the contract, and the members of the board of directors of these four companies were even more ecstatic, they only paid tens of millions of dollars to win a film company with a market value of more than 200 million US dollars, which made them all feel that they had picked up a big bargain, and they did not think about the price they would pay if the bet failed...... Nietzsche's famous quote describes their state - "When you look at the abyss, the abyss is watching you"

After this contract came into effect, Century Cinema Lianmei immediately adjusted the film schedule, and sent a statement to other film companies to adjust the film schedule, "Iron Man" is about to have 4100 screens in the first round As soon as the news came out, the producers of major film companies were immediately stunned......

On the forum of professional filmmakers "Los Angeles Movie House", this boiling news immediately sparked a huge discussion, and each producer was amazed by Li Xiaole's distribution ability, and did not understand how he could get nearly half of the number of screens from the Century Cinema Alliance, which only has 10,000 screens......
