"2-2, Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is here." Akina Nakamori compared the address information in her hand, pointed to a building in front of her and informed Ye Jingcheng.

"Then go up." Although Dongbao did not show due hospitality, Ye Jingcheng could not give up this opportunity to negotiate with the other party because of some formal etiquette.

Akina Nakamori led the way into the building, and first negotiated with the guard at the door. The guards first looked at the group, then called the leader for instructions, and finally asked them to take the elevator to the third floor.

Ye Jingcheng and others came to the third floor, and a female receptionist at the front desk took the initiative to greet them. But the other two receptionists except her only briefly swept their eyes over several people the moment the elevator door opened, and then continued their work.

One of them continued to cook porridge on the phone, and the other took a mirror to look around, as if he subconsciously ignored the savings of Ye Jingcheng and others.

If their current behavior is what they are used to doing, it is difficult for Ye Jingcheng to imagine that with such an employee, what advantage does Dongbao have to achieve today's scale, so that he can completely ignore these 'small' details.

But he believes more that these superficial phenomena are just Toho as a means to hang him aside. In order to wear down his patience beforehand, he will become more passive when it comes time to negotiate.

The hostess bowed very politely, and then communicated with Akina Nakamori as a translator, and the meaning conveyed by Akina Nakamori was that the person in charge of Toho had not returned from going out now, and asked Ye Jingcheng and others to wait in the living room for a while. Or maybe they go back to the hotel where they are staying and wait for the person in charge of Toho to come back before making an appointment.

Now call Ye Jingcheng back to the hotel. It's better to tell him to go home. He thought that Toho would be ugly, but he didn't expect Toho to be such a big name. The film industry in an island country is actually no different from Hong Kong Island. If you really want to talk about the difference, it is that the community here has invaded the film industry.

What's the focus now? Toho is not the only film company in the island country. There is not only one cinema chain. The other companies are not as large as Tung Po, but they are still large enough to act as overseas distributors for Yip's films.

What Ye Jingcheng lacks is a contact person, because the Southern Cinema Line has been established for too long, although it is not famous on Hong Kong Island, but in this era when the information is not developed enough, it will take a long time to spread the news overseas, especially under the premise that the Southern Cinema Line has no well-known masterpieces.

If there is really no way to reach a cooperation with Dongbao, the next thing Ye Jingcheng has to do is to go to several other companies, and what he has to do is to take the initiative to find these companies. Convey your purpose and the information of the Southern Cinema Line to each other. So he set a week's itinerary for this trip, otherwise he would just discuss the issue of cooperation with Dongbao, and one day would be enough time to come back.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the time, and an hour and forty-eight minutes had passed since they entered this living room. Toho's so-called person in charge has not yet appeared, and not only that, but the hostess has disappeared except for a few cups of coffee at the beginning.

Ye Jingcheng has this patience, but Zeng Zhiwei on the side has become anxious. It's not a problem if you want him to wait. The problem is that there is no one to talk to him here, he is not as literate and can read English newspapers as Ye Jingcheng, and he is not like the two sisters Nakamori Akina have a common topic, so they have to sit there in a depressed mood and be stupid. Nearly two hours of waiting almost suffocated him from internal injuries.

"They're too unseemly to make us wait here that long. In the end, if someone comes, if you don't come, we will go. Zeng Zhiwei knew that he did not have the right to make decisions. I still couldn't help but complain.

"Wait ten more minutes." Ye Jingcheng took a sip of coffee, whether he had patience or not was one thing. This is not enough to serve as a way for him to let the other party mess around. If Dongbao's leader doesn't show up for half a day, will he have to wait for half a day?

Unless Ye Jingcheng's brain is rusty. Otherwise, with Dongbao's approach, it is not difficult to see that the other party does not want to play Ma Wei at all, but does not take him seriously at all. Even if he waits for someone in the end, the conditions offered by the other party are definitely not acceptable to him.

As soon as the ten minutes came, just as Ye Jingcheng and the others were about to enter the elevator, the person in charge of Dongbao unexpectedly rushed back.

This middle-aged man named Takai Hideyuki was very sorry to explain the reason for being late, so he invited Ye Jingcheng and the others into the living room again.

"Ye Sang, this is some of the terms of our company's cooperation, please take a look." After speaking, Takai Hideyuki handed over a text jiàn clip.

Ye Jingcheng took it and took a few brief glances, and asked Akina Nakamori to translate them for him one by one. He is not afraid that Akina Nakamori will make a mistake in translation, or put his spring on the other side.

Because if he really wants to sign a contract agreement with the other party, this document must be sent back to Hong Kong Island for confirmation first, and then the next signing ceremony will be carried out.

"For the films produced by your company, Toho Co., Ltd. will be bought out as a transaction for 1 million per film approved by the company." Reading this, Akina Nakamori's small mouth opened slightly. That's a shocking number for her.

For her, not to mention 1 million, even 100,000 is a large number, and it is in yen. The currency of this contract is denominated in Hong Kong dollars, which is worth more than 5 million yen if converted into yen.

Although in the previous conversation between the two, she knew that Ye Jingcheng's net worth was not low. But he has always questioned whether he has a cinema chain, and she is a native of the island country, and she doesn't know much about the environment of Hong Kong Island, so she doesn't realize Ye Jingcheng's status at all.

Now it seems that Yip Jingcheng is definitely a pivotal figure on Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, how could the amount of his business reach a height that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime. Should I reconsider the other person's problem? And not perfunctory for the sake of perfunctory like before.

But when Ye Jingcheng heard this clause, he frowned unhappily. And Zeng Zhiwei on the side burst out with a sullen breath, pointed at Takai Yingyuki and scolded loudly: "Dead fat boy, are you mistaken!?" One million is less than a fraction of our local box office, and you want to cooperate with our company at such a price? ”

"Looks like you're coming to us to talk about cooperation?" Takai Yingyuki said a word and directly choked Zeng Zhiwei back.

"And investing in this kind of thing is risky, can your company guarantee that every drama will exceed 10 million?" After speaking, Hideyuki Takai drank coffee slowly.

Ye Jingcheng's eyes narrowed and said, "What if I can guarantee it?" ”

Takai Yingxing didn't expect Ye Jingcheng to ride the wind, and he was really hard to answer this question. In the end, he could only say: "This question needs to be discussed, and I hope that I can answer you when I inform a few directors of the company." ”

"I don't think we need to talk about it." Saying this, Ye Jingcheng had already gotten up to leave.

"Ye San, our Dongbao is the No.1 in the island country, I don't know how many companies want to cooperate with us, but they can't do it. And the difference between you and them is that the opportunity is already in front of your eyes. ”

Takai Hideyuki did not stop him, but said this with a deep meaning. seems to have settled on Ye Jingcheng, or out of the sense of glory of the island people, he thinks that Ye Jingcheng has a request for others now, so he naturally has to do it according to their methods.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at him sideways, showed a sneer and left directly.

After everyone left, Hideyuki Takai's fist fell vertically on the table and scolded: "What a pig who doesn't know what to do." ”

He once thought that he was not even as good as a pig in Ye Jingcheng's eyes, at best he was just a **** polluting the environment.

"Ye Sheng, what should I do next?" Leaving Toei's company, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but ask.

Ye Jingcheng didn't even have a chance to talk nonsense with the other party, did it prove that their trip was in vain? So do you fly back now, or do you have other plans?

"Akina, are you familiar with the film companies of the island country? I mean that it has an independent theater chain like Toho. Ye Jingcheng asked Akina Nakamori, instead of looking for someone to investigate time-consumingly, it is better to ask the local next to him.

Nakamori Akina originally thought that Ye Jingcheng would happily accept the conditions offered by Dongbao, but he didn't expect that it would end happily in the end. So she didn't take the initiative to speak all the way, so as not to anger this employer with a deep background.

"I know, I know." Akiho Nakamori grabbed the topic of his sister and said, "My favorite Sayuri Yoshinaga is Sayuri in Nikko. ”

"What about this one?" For this club, Ye Jingcheng didn't even have the slightest impression.

Akiho Nakamori stuck out his tongue and replied, "I don't know." ”

Akina Nakamori answered: "It seems that in addition to Toho and Nikhuo, there are also Toei, Kadokawa, and Shochiku. Toei's office is located on the Ginza side, not very far from here. As for the other studios, I can help you ask a friend. ”

"Then you can help me ask." After looking at the time, it was close to twelve o'clock at noon, Ye Jingcheng said: "Now find a place to eat first, you can go back to rest after eating, and wait until the afternoon to come to the hotel to find me." ”

The place to dine is at the Nikko City Hotel, in addition to the fact that Ye Jingcheng stayed in this hotel, and it is also relatively close to the home of the two sisters.

Ye Jingcheng simply ordered a steak and borscht, and handed the menu in his hand back to Adaptation. Then Zeng Zhiwei also ordered spaghetti and orange juice with meat sauce, and only the two sisters of Akina Nakamori looked at the menu and exchanged ears.

After a long time, they put back the menu in a daze. Akina Nakamori held out a finger to the waiter and said a word in Japanese, and then Nakamori Akiho did the same, and the waiter nodded in understanding and left.
