Chapter 053: Three Million Recovered
On this day, the money Ye Jingcheng got from the loan was finally not enough to spend, so he had to 'bite the bullet' and come to Fang Yihua to discuss. Seeing Fang Yihua this time, the other party rarely showed a smile, of course, with ridicule.
"Ms. Fang, let's get straight to the point. I sold this play to Shaw Brothers, and in addition to the production cost, I also asked for an honorarium of three million. Ye Jingcheng even changed his name this time, saying that he had come here several times, and it was the first time he drank the coffee handed over by the secretary.
"Impossible, an extra 500,000 at most." Fang Yihua didn't talk nonsense with him, and the two entered a bargaining situation.
Ye Jingcheng put down the coffee in his hand and said: "With an additional honorarium of 2.7 million, I can clearly tell you that Shaw Brothers is not the only one who is interested in this film." ”
"Oh! Is it Golden Harvest? Or the Golden Princess? After the birth of a child, I will give you 800,000 yuan, and you will accept it when you see it. ”
Ye Jingcheng's move, in Fang Yihua's opinion, he was just looking up to others. If Princess Jiahe really gave a high price, then Ye Jingcheng didn't need to sit here and waste his saliva at all.
"Two and a half million."
"One and a half million."
In the end, the price was disputed between 1.8 million and 2.2 million, and neither of them was willing to take this step back.
"Taking a step back and adding an additional two million honorarium, this is already my bottom line. If Ms. Fang can't give this price, I believe Golden Harvest will be interested. Everyone, I don't think there's any need to break up, right? Ye Jingcheng said matter-of-factly.
Fang Yihua pondered the truth of these words, and secretly said that Ye Jingcheng should really be on the line with Jiahe, and only after a moment did he bid slowly: "One million .9 million." ”
If you buy this movie for less than three million, don't expect it to break through the box office of 10 million. As long as the results of the previous film are reached, the local box office is enough to fill in the numbers, and the overseas box office is completely in vain. And it's not just movies that make money in theaters, and the snacks sold around are also a big income.
Oh, this woman really doesn't want to eat at all, and in the end, she still wants others to obey her wishes.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a long sigh of relief and promised: "Okay, I don't need to talk to you about 100,000 yuan, but I want to see the sincerity of the Shaw Family." ”
"What do you mean?" Fang Yihua glanced at him.
"This money has to go to me first."
Fang Yihua snorted with a smile and took out his checkbook from his bag. He wrote down a string of numbers and signed them, handed them to Ye Jingcheng and asked, "Are you satisfied?" ”
Fang Yihua's behavior does not show how bold she is, but she holds the box office of Ye Jingcheng's last movie in her hands, and she doesn't have to worry about Ye Jingcheng going back on her word at all.
After signing a series of documents, Ye Jingcheng said unwillingly: "This time you won, I hope there will be another competition." ”
It's just that his actions only fell into Fang Yihua's eyes, and there were only two ridiculous words left.
Walking out of the wireless gate, Ye Jingcheng first went to the bank to exchange the check, and by the way, he paid off the loan of 20,000 yuan. After that, he asked the bank to write a check for 900,000 yuan, took it with him and came to Huang Jing's house.
"This 900,000 is your share of dividends." Yip handed the cheque to Huang Jing.
Huang Jing looked at the check and asked, "Nine hundred thousand?" Shouldn't it be 600,000? ”
It stands to reason that this money is the income from the sale of the copyright of "Yin and Yang Wrong", so the dividends received by Huang Jing should be the agreed 20%, and now Ye Jingcheng gives him a check of 900,000 yuan, which is converted to more than 30%.
"Just take it for you, ask so much for what." Ye Jingcheng didn't bother to explain.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng's unfathomable face, Huang Jing couldn't help asking, "Why do I think you seem to be very happy?" ”
"Who is not happy when they have money?" Ye Jingcheng changed his face to seriousness and said: "I will tell you so much, if you really treat me as a friend, don't give this money out for the time being." ”
"Oh." Huang Jing vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. In fact, even if he knew Ye Jingcheng's overall plan, there was no reason to stop and expose it.
It wasn't until here that the matter came to an end, Ye Jingcheng nominally sold the copyright of "Yin and Yang Wrong", and now two million has been put into his pocket, but he does not plan to hand over the copyright of this play.
Even if Fang Yihua plays with him, why can't he play tricks?
All the illusions he made before were to make Fang Yihua mistakenly think that he was at the end of his rope, so he could only sell the film copyright to Shaw Brothers according to the conditions she proposed, or let Shaw Brothers forcibly insert a foot in.
It's a pity that Fang Yihua made a mistake in his wishful thinking, Ye Jingcheng just used this so-called sale copyright fee as an overseas dividend from the previous film. As for the film "Yin and Yang Wrong"? He had already discussed the release date with Lei Juekun, and there was something about it and the Shaw Brothers.
In fact, this approach is very immoral, because Ye Jingcheng's behavior is close to fraud. Even as long as Fang Yihua says a word to the outside world, Ye Jingcheng will become notorious in the circle. But then again, how many pounds and taels is such a thing as morality?
Ye Jingcheng was a businessman, not a martyr. Something as vague and nihilistic as fame is not needed at least he doesn't need it at the moment, or it's not as real as two million.
And another result of this approach was that Fang Yihua took the signed contract to court against him, which Ye Jingcheng was not worried about at all.
Hong Kong Island is a free city that stresses the law, and the premise of the law is only one word - money. As long as you have money, you can continue to appeal any case, and before the day the trial result came out, Ye Jingcheng still lived his usual life.
The big deal is to spend more than 100,000 yuan a year to hire a lawyer, Fang Yihua wants to sue him for not abiding by the contract... The results are worrying. As long as the lawsuit drags on casually for three or five years, it will have to be closed in the end.
……
Kai Tak Airport.
A Rolls-Royce with no number 6 license plate stopped on the side of the road, and a woman dressed as a successful person stepped out of it. The license plate number is 6 because the owner of the car is the sixth in the family, and he is particularly fond of the number 6.
The older generation on Hong Kong Island all have more children, and most of them are the sixth largest in the family. But the one who can afford to drive a Rolls-Royce and has the highest achievement is probably only Shao Yifu, who has the title of a famous film tycoon.
And the middle-aged woman who got out of the car was Fang Yihua who came to pick him up from the plane. Speaking of which, this license plate was obtained by Fang Yihua last year, which cost her 330,000 yuan, and she also posted a few favors.
Someone else's car is equivalent to driving a story out on the street, and this metaphor is exaggerated enough. Shao Yifu has just one license plate number, which can already catch up with the price of a floor, plus the value of the car itself, which is completely equivalent to driving an entire villa on the street.
However, it is difficult to buy a favorite, not to mention that it can please Shao Yifu.
"Sixth brother, it's windy. Hurry up and get in the car. As soon as he saw Shao Yifu get off the plane, Fang Yihua hurriedly walked up to help.
Shao Yifu's trip to Singapore was unsatisfactory from his depressed expression. The fourth brother Shao Renmei finally passed the dangerous period after a few days and nights of rescue, but the sequelae of the operation was that he even had difficulty moving in the future.
When Shao Yifu reached this age, he was lying to children when he said that he was not afraid of death.
In Singapore, he saw the children and grandchildren of the same clan fighting for the family property, causing the brothers to turn against each other and do everything they could. Now that Shao Renmei is still alive and his descendants are still alive, he will do this kind of thing, if Shao Renmei really loosens his feet, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm between his descendants.
Shao Yifu followed his brother out in his early years, and he also had no time to take care of his family. So from Shao Renmei's body, he seemed to see his future fate. So much so that he sighed along the way, and the other party's concern for Yihua was rarely heard.
Back in the office, Shao Yifu regained his mood and began to listen to his work report in the past few days. In the end, attention fell on Ye Jingcheng's sale of film copyrights. So he asked: "Have you handed over the negatives of "Yin and Yang Wrong"? ”
"Not yet, there should be a hand tail that hasn't been solved." Fang Yihua said.
It has been three days since she and Ye Jingcheng reached an agreement last time. During this period, Fang Yihua did not urge, but the other party kept shirking on the grounds that he had not completed the later stage.
"I've always been suspicious of this matter, Ye Jingcheng, a person who is not so easy to compromise in his later life, has done such a compromise for others."
Shao Yifu is confident that he will not look at the wrong person, although he can't see through some of Ye Jingcheng's methods, but this future life is not as simple as it seems. This matter was handled by Fang Yihua throughout the process, but Shao Yifu's every move could not be clearer.
He was troubled by troubles in Singapore before, so he didn't delve into this problem, but now that Fang Yihua mentioned this matter, he found that there were many suspicious places in it.
"Sixth brother, what do you mean?" Fang Yihua thought about it carefully, and really found some of them. She and Ye Jingcheng have handed over several times, and the other party is not like a person who will discuss calmly with her opponent.
Shao Yifu carefully considered it, and finally came to a conclusion, I am afraid that they have fallen into the trap of the other party.
When Ye Jingcheng decided to sell the film copyright, the reason why he asked Huang Tianlin to call him first. In fact, I didn't want to ask him for an explanation, or to negotiate better.
Ye Jingcheng did this completely to confuse their eyes and make them fall into the misunderstanding of thinking that it was true. In order to be sure of his thoughts, Shao Yifu asked: "Who has he been in contact with a lot during this time?" ”
"He has contact with Jiahe and Princess Jin, originally I thought that he would have such confidence when he fell in love with Jiahe, and he would have such confidence when bargaining. And I found a private detective beforehand, and he had a big financial problem. ”
Before Fang Yihua took care of Shao Yifu's affairs, he had no business experience at all.
The reason why she is handy at work is that in addition to her more management talent than ordinary people, she relies on nothing more than the three most unpalatable bowls of noodles in life: human noodles, feelings and scenes.
And all this was given to her by Shao Yifu, so it is easy to go into misunderstandings when dealing with things, and feel that everything is taken for granted. Because of the aura brought to her by Shao Yifu, it covered up a certain degree of lack of her ability.
