Chapter 296: Life is like a play

"Oh."

As soon as the green light turned on, Lo Huiguang turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car drove in the direction of the Central Plaza construction site, and stopped in front of the 'Armani Store' a few minutes later.

Liu Jialing carried her briefcase, got out of the car behind Sun Ziming, and knocked on the cab window, "Huiguang, give the car to the little brother who parked the car, you go in with us." ”

"Oh" Lu Huiguang got out of the car, threw the key to the doorman who parked the car, and followed Sun Lei into the store. What Lu Huiguang didn't expect was that Liu Jialing came to help him buy clothes, which scared him so much that he hurriedly excused himself.

"You are Brother Ming's driver and security guard, and according to the company's regulations, your attire is issued by the company. Normally, you can dress casually, but if there is an event such as a celebration or premiere, you must dress formally. ”

Liu Jialing explained while asking the clerk to remove the messy metal jewelry on him. Half an hour later, when Lu Huiguang came out of the locker room, everyone's eyes lit up. The black fitting 'Armani' suit, shiny leather shoes, coupled with a sturdy physique, are lively fashion models, handsome and reveal the strength of men.

"Wow! Ming, my dear friend, you are finally back. Well, it doesn't seem to have changed much, why has your temper gone bad? ”

Sun Ziming turned his face to look, Da Lu smiled and hugged a gentle middle-aged white man, "John, long time no see, how are you lately?" How can I have a bad temper, yesterday those were not reporters, they were paparazzi, paparazzi, understand? ”

John also hugged Sun Ziming warmly and joked: "Forget it, I think you don't want to be a god, so you pour poop on yourself." Do you know the way? Most of today's newspaper front-page headlines are yours, saying that you are self-aggrandizing and have no one in mind! ”

Sun Tzu Mingha laughs, and it is easy to talk to smart people. John laughed a few times, and when he saw Lu Huiguang who was trying on clothes, his eyes lit up, and he walked over and motioned him to turn around twice, and said to Sun Ziming: "Ming, your subordinate is very handsome!" If you are interested in coming to us as a model for a day and helping us take some promotional photos of new products, we can provide him with a free outfit. ”

Sun Zi Mingle was happy, and he helped his subordinates pull a single business, "Of course there is no problem, who made us friends." However, I would like to remind you that he is a future international action star, can you afford him? ”

John looked at it more closely, shook his head and said, "No, his temperament is too strong, and it only fits one of our new products, which is the one on him." If he wishes, we can provide him with a year's worth of clothing free of charge, as we do with your nephew. ”

This is a shrewd businessman, and he knows that Lu Huiguang, this kid, will definitely follow him every day in the future, and this is to advertise for himself. However, Sun Ziming doesn't care, business activities are all about taking what they need, "Deal, who makes us friends." ”

John didn't like him, shook his head and said, "Ming, you are a person who preaches righteousness (anger), but the price of being your friend is too great." Let's talk about ChowYunfat's endorsement agreement, shall we? Your eyebrows are too high, and we can't afford that high amount. ”

When it comes to business, Sun Ziming also shook his head and said: "John, I don't care about the endorsement agreement of the company's artists, let's talk about the sponsorship agreement of "God of Gamblers 2". You can see the results of the first part, and I can't just ask you to sponsor the costumes like the first part. ”

"No, we have a verbal agreement!" John shouted excitedly and danced angrily.

Sun Ziming shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to see John's performance, "Then I can only arrange for ChowYunfat to wear Armani's formal clothes during the decisive battle, and Versace or Burberry casual clothes for the rest of the occasions." John, be fair in business, you can't just offer a few outfits and ask me to give up a few millions. ”

“NO! ……”

Liu Jialing motioned to the waiter to choose another costume for Lu Huiguang, while covering her mouth and smiling, "Ah Lei, what they are talking about ......"

Sun Lei watched in astonishment as Sun Ziming and John were comparing in shoes and hats, and asked worriedly: "Sister Ling, isn't Uncle Seventh afraid that people will say that his words don't count?" ”

"No, at that time they only agreed that when it was appropriate to wear Armani, they had to wear Armani. Your seventh uncle is the director, when is it appropriate, it's not him who has the final say? ”

Seeing that Sun Lei was still a little puzzled, Liu Jialing explained: "Business behavior is meant to be a fair deal, John is bargaining, not wanting to refuse to provide cash sponsorship, understand?" ”

Sun Lei asked hesitantly, "You mean, they are all acting?" ”

Liu Jialing smiled and said in a low voice: "In fact, life is acting, and sometimes it depends on whose acting skills are higher in order to get greater benefits." You see, John is acting his anger, and your seventh uncle is acting on the unfairness of the transaction, whoever has the upper hand will take the initiative and will be able to achieve greater benefits within a reasonable range. ”

Sun Lei kind of understood, if it wasn't within a reasonable range, the two would not have performed at all, and they would just break up. Only when everyone has the sincerity to reach a cooperation, will they bargain.

"Then why didn't Uncle Gao let Assistant Gao come to talk? Isn't she better at negotiating than Uncle Seven? ”

Li Jiaming was happy, "Are you stupid? This is the principle of reciprocity in business activities, and only when the two of them reach a preliminary agreement can they go to the specific talks. ”

After Lu Huiguang picked out the costume, Sun Ziming also reached a preliminary agreement to continue the sponsorship, and the two sat in the rest area chatting and drinking coffee with no troublemaker, "John, don't say I didn't remind you, I will go to the United States to make an experimental film for ChowYunfat before the end of the year, and it may have a certain impact on the professional scope." Don't lose a brand spokesperson with a lot of market appeal because you're too stingy. ”

John's eyes lit up, as Armani's market share in Asia increased by nearly five percentage points because of the success of God of Gamblers. If Zhou Yunfa can become an international star, he will definitely be able to increase by a few percentage points.

Sun Ziming turned his head to see that Li Jiaming and the others were already well, and said in a low voice: "John, I still have to go to David's, go first." ”

After Sun Ziming and they said goodbye to John, they came to the Jardine Building, and as soon as they entered David's company, they heard applause, and David opened his arms and laughed loudly: "Oh, let's see who is coming, our world-class director!" Ming, I am so proud to have a friend like you, so I decided to let you invite us all to dinner to show our admiration for you. ”

Sun Ziming also opened his arms far away and hugged his partner tightly, "David, you are wrong, you should say that you invited all of us to dinner, this is called picking up the wind and washing the dust, celebrating my victorious return." ”

"No, No, I know the rules of you Chinese, you have earned more than 100 million US dollars, you should invite us to dinner."

The two argued for a while, and Sun Ziming had no choice but to say loudly: "When the "God of Gamblers" celebration banquet comes, everyone will come with David. However, it is true that David should have invited me to dinner first and washed the dust for me, right? ”

A group of employees laughed and said that their boss was right, and David said triumphantly: "See, this is my company, who are they not helping me?" ”

Sun Ziming looked at David in surprise, this guy doesn't want his aristocratic demeanor anymore? David Ha Lu Ha Da smiled and pulled Sun Zi Ming into his office, and saw that in the photo frame on his desk, it was the photo of this guy receiving the queen's knighthood, and Sun Zi Ming suddenly realized. This guy has become a nobleman, and the obsession in his heart is gone, so naturally he doesn't care about his aristocratic demeanor.

David triumphantly pulled his grandson Ming to sit on the sofa and pointed to the newspaper he had specially collected, "Ming, you are worthy of being my friend, you are very clear-headed, a bit like when I was young." ”

Sun Ziming casually pulled down the newspaper, one of which was to praise himself to the sky, calling himself the 'light of the Chinese' and 'the pride of the Chinese', and the other was scolding himself for being 'arrogant' and 'narcissist'.

Liu Jialing explained David's meaning on the side, and the ghost guy gave a thumbs up after listening to it: "Ming, your new secretary is very wise, much smarter than your wife." ”

Sun Zi Ming Da smiled and said: "David, she is only for Ying for two days, and when Ying's father's illness improves, she will come back!" ”

"God, I hate your assistant, she's so smart!"

Sun Ziming and David laughed for a while, and Sha Li had already completed the transfer procedures and came in, "Sir, our 1 million pound sponsorship has been transferred." ”

"Oh, Sally, go get the papers in my drawer."

After a while, David took the document handed over by Sha Li and handed it to Sun Ziming with a smile on his face, "Ming, I know that you like to make movies, and you also like to shoot big scenes." I have a business relationship with General Motors, and they want to sponsor your God of Gamblers 2. ”

Sun Ziming took the document and looked at it suspiciously, "God of Gamblers 1" uses a lot of Mercedes-Benz cars and Toyota cars, although Cadillac cars are very high-end but also very low-key, and the brand identity among Asian civilians is not strong. Make your own movies, mainly for ordinary people, not for the rich, this is a hair?

David saw Sun Ziming's puzzled look, Da Yan laughed, although his friend is forward-looking to the economy, but his sensitivity to business is still not good, "Don't understand? Think again. ”

"Wait," Sun Ziming seemed to grasp something, "You mean, I can use this agreement to induce Japanese car dealers to sponsor me?" ”

David laughed again, pointed at Sun Ziming's nose, and scolded very rudely, "You're a business idiot!" You only have Pepsi in the movie, and you don't have Coca-Cola, are they going to pay you? You're now the best director in Asia, your films are more effective than TV commercials, why are you still focusing on the box office? To make rich people's money, that's really big money! ”

Sun Ziming also pointed at David's nose, "Profiteer! You are the most treacherous black-hearted businessman! ”

David laughed for a while, "Ming, seriously, your current company is too single, and you need to find a few business talents to help you take care of these things." ”

Sun Ziming's eyes flashed to the youthful girl on the streets of New York, who had a keen business eye, but unfortunately did not ask for a phone number at that time.

There are not many opportunities to get the guidance of geniuses, David was happy for a while, remembered a proposal made by a friend last time, and took it over to test it, "Ming, have you thought about expanding your talent as a director and screenwriter to the TV industry?" I've seen your Oprah talk show, it's wonderful. But do you know that Oprah himself has no business talent, and it's all Jeff? Jack Boss is behind her back, and it's a bit like you and Xiang working together. In fact, you are better than Olap in that you are more able to get help from your friends than her. ”

Sun Ziming's eyebrows jumped, this guy is a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, he must have heard something, "David, let's talk about the point." ”

David, who was talking happily, interrupted Sun Ziming, and snorted twice unhappily, and then slightly signaled to Liu Jialing and the two, and Liu Jialing took Sun Lei out of the gang with interest when she saw this.

"ATV, (De)Liqiu is ready to sell his 51% stake, and the Hin Pak Lam (Lim Pak Shin) family is negotiating with him."
