94. Selection of Investors
Liu Xiaofei stood up and greeted Zhao Ruozhi and Ah Piao warmly.
Zhao Ruozhi also responded enthusiastically, as if the two had never met before. It seems that Liu Xiaofei is Zhao Ruozhi's respected investor, and Zhao Ruozhi is the cash cow that IR Film and Television Group will use to make money in the future.
Zhao Ruozhi sneered in his heart.
Without the support of Liu Xiaofei's company, Zhao Ruozhi will always be an unknown actress. With strong economic strength and strong film and television companies behind it, entering Hollywood is just a matter of adding a few zeros to a number.
Without Zhao Ruozhi, Liu Xiaofei would not have a good card to play in Hollywood, let alone lay a world in Hollywood.
Both sides are well aware of this fact.
In this cruel world, in addition to looking at each other unpleasantly, you have to take advantage of each other.
Zhao Ruozhi looked at Liu Xiaofei's flying eyeliner and exquisite makeup, objectively speaking, she had to admire that as a woman, she could achieve the position of CEO in a company with an output value of tens of billions, and her strength and means should not be underestimated.
"Don't stand, sit down." Liu Xiaofei motioned for them to sit down.
Ms. Liu's office is very simple, with only a desk full of papers and a few chairs. On the other side of the office, a meeting room is separated by frosted glass. There is only a low coffee table and two sofas in the reception room.
Zhao Ruozhi and Ah Piao sat down on the sofa, and Liu Xiao personally made tea for them.
Liu Xiaofei was not interested in tea, only glanced at the teacup in front of him lightly, and did not drink it.
However, Ah Piao was full of praise for Liu Xiaofei's good tea: "This kind of color tea is very expensive in the United States, right?" ”
Liu Xiaofei smiled: "If Boss Fu likes it, can I give you a box?" ”
"Thank you so much." Although Ah Piao doesn't have much affection for Liu Xiaofei, since he wants to give him such good tea, there is no reason to refuse.
"Katy doesn't like my tea here?" Liu Xiaofei smiled extremely gently, but somehow it made people feel a chill rise behind them.
Zhao Ruozhi glanced at the teacup on the table and said coldly, "I'm not interested in tea." ”
It means that Liu Xiaofei is simply hypocritical.
"How about I make you a cup of coffee?" As he spoke, he was about to get up and make coffee for Zhao Ruozhi.
"No, I don't have time to have a coffee with you here."
"As far as I know, Katy doesn't have a film appointment yet, right?" Liu Xiaofei slowly sipped the tea, but her eyes were staring at Zhao Ruozhi, and her every movement and subtle expression could not escape Liu Xiaoshuang's eyes.
The corners of Zhao Ruozhi's mouth rose slightly, but his eyes remained cold: "It's not as easy as you think, you have a lot of time to sit here and drink tea and chat with those of you who only have money in your eyes." ”
"yes, we only have money in our eyes, life is very boring, I wonder if Katy has anything to teach?"
"I advise you to voluntarily abandon this cooperation." Zhao Ruozhi said lightly, as if he was persuading others not to buy a carton of milk that was about to expire.
Liu Xiaofei chuckled and put down the teacup: "Oh? Why give up? ”
"Because I don't want to work with you."
"Shouldn't you give up on your own initiative?"
Zhao Ruozhi smiled: "You won't want to cooperate with me." ”
"As long as you are willing to make an offer, I dare to give it." Liu Xiaofei is still full of confidence.
"Ten percent of the IR's shares."
Liu Xiaoshuang's face changed slightly. She is the CEO, just a CEO, and she has no right to make decisions about shares.
"Don't you dare to call the shots? Then go and ask your superiors. Zhao Ruozhi stood up and prepared to leave.
Liu Xiaofei also stood up and said, "Ten percent of the shares? Do you know how much a 10% IR stake is worth? ”
"If I didn't know, would I still ask you for the 10 percent of the shares?"
"What if I say I won't give it?" Liu Xiaofei felt that Zhao Ruozhi's proposal was too greedy, an actor could easily take 10% of the IR shares just by relying on this sentence, she Liu Xiaofei worked hard for several years, and only got 1 percent, she was unwilling.
"If you don't give it, then don't talk about it." Zhao Ruozhi deliberately paused and said, "If you can't make up your mind yourself, then call someone who can make up your mind to talk to me." ”
Liu Xiaofei was anxious, if she was allowed to meet with the boss of IR, it was estimated that this cooperation would be even more unnegotiable.
"Wait a minute." Liu Xiaofei stopped Zhao Ruozhi, "Ten percent, no problem." ”
Zhao Ruozhi was surprised: "It's so refreshing, you don't need to ask for instructions from above?" ”
"The conditions have been promised to you, can you sign a contract now?"
Zhao Ruozhi didn't understand why Liu Xiaofei was in such a hurry to sign the contract, but he didn't know that Liu Xiaofei was worried about the long nights and dreams.
"I suddenly remembered something. I promised to accept Su Xiaoyu's investment before, and I can't sign a contract with you. ”
Zhao Ruozhi motioned for Ah Piao to leave.
Ah Piao had to put down his favorite tea and leave with Zhao Ruozhi.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Ah Piao asked Zhao Ruozhi: "What's the matter with you today?" Such a good opportunity, 100% of the shares, you don't want it? ”
"Are you thinking about Liu Xiaofei's tea?" Zhao Ruo saw Ah Piao's thoughts at a glance.
"It's not me talking about you, you never cared about who invested in you before, and you never picked on the script, you took whatever you were given. What's going on today? Don't let me speak, do you have to make Liu Xiaofei so embarrassed? ”
"Liu Xiaofei should send you tea, and I will still send it. In the past, I didn't ask anything because I believed that you wouldn't find me some bad movies to pick up, even if you found me bad movies and found difficult artists to work with me, I wouldn't say anything, after all, the opportunities I could have were all given by the company, and I would absolutely obey the arrangement.
"It's just that the person I want to cooperate with today is Liu Xiaofei, and I can't be angry. But you, how can you be bought by her with a box of tea? You are my boss, how did you get to the United States and start working as my agent? ”
Ah Piao didn't believe it: "You are so kind to Liu Xiaofei, can she still come to you to cooperate again?" ”
"I suspect that Liu Xiaofei has drugged the tea, how can I help Liu Xiaofei speak everywhere?" Zhao Ruozhi was angry with Ah Piao's current state.
"Why am I just talking for her? I'm your boss, do you say that about your boss? ”
"She'll definitely come back to me."
"So what are you going to do? Liu Xiaofei's conditions are not something that everyone can give, and you can't give up such a good opportunity because of personal feelings. ”
Zhao Ruozhi sighed heavily, lowered his head, and said, "The conditions that Su Xiaoyu gave me are better. Whether I cooperate with Su Xiaoyu or gamble with Liu Xiaofei, it is a big trouble. ”
"Are you interested in Su Xiaoyu?"
"What's with what? We are completely at work, and it is another thing for him to chase me. ”
"What conditions did he give you?" Ah Piao said curiously.
"He's in charge of paying for a company in my name."
Ah Piao was so angry that he stomped his feet: "He even dares to dig into my corner." ”
"What would he not dare? Someone who can even come and go at will in and out of the White House will not dare to dig into your corner? How old are you? ”
"Hey! I'm still your boss, is there an employee who talks to your boss like that? Ah Piao suddenly realized a message point: "You said he can come and go in and out of the White House at will?" What is the origin of this man? ”
"Google it yourself, you don't need a VPN here." Zhao Ruozhi was also bored, and she suddenly wanted to search for Su Xiaoyu's name in the search engine, but the information she found was so scared that she almost didn't throw away her phone.
Su Xiaoyu is just the Chinese name he gave himself, his real name is Michael Medici (Michael Medici), a descendant of the ancient Italian Medici family.
Although the world believes that the Medici family has no descendants, it is only due to the turmoil of history that the Medici family can only live incognito.
Su Xiaoyu's grandfather seized the opportunity of World War II and later a series of wars such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Panamanian War, the Somalia War, the Kosovo War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War, and became the largest arms dealer in the United States. As the only son of the Medici family, Su Xiaoyu naturally wants something.
Not to mention investing in a movie or investing in a company for Zhao Ruozhi, even if it is for Zhao Ruozhi, it is not a problem to let the old Michael buy half of the United States.
Zhao Ruozhi had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky, and the reason why she didn't immediately agree to Su Xiaoyu's investment was because she didn't want to be too involved with such a person.
His background is too complicated for her to afford to mess with.
There was another reason why she was reluctant to approach Su Xiaoyu, because she still had that person in her heart.
Ah Piao put down his mobile phone with a complicated expression on his face: "Did you agree to his cooperation?" ”
"Not yet."
"I'm really not in a hurry to agree." Ah Piao breathed a sigh of relief, and still hung with half a breath: "You didn't promise Liu Xiaofei now, and you didn't promise Su Xiaoyu." What if they don't work with you at the end of the day? ”
"You are my boss, and I will have to rely on you when I am desperate." Zhao Ruozhi stuck out his tongue at Ah Piao.
"You, you, why do you always make me so uneasy?" Ah Piao shook his head helplessly, "I can understand if you want to get along with Liu Xiaofei, Su Xiaoyu's background is too exaggerated, we should wait and see for a while before making a decision." ”
"Don't wait and see." Zhao Ruozhi said firmly: "Tomorrow, Liu Xiaofei will come to me with ten percent of her shares and a box of tea from you, and then she won't dare to ask me again." ”
"She doesn't ask you anything now, does she?"
"On the surface, there are no requirements, but there is a good saying, 'Don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath'. If she came to beg me to sign a contract, she would be a little shorter than me. It seems that it is also a contract, and it is still her Party A, but I, Party B, don't need to look at her face anymore. ”
"I don't see you're going to do that." Ah Piao had to admire the struggle between women that he would never understand.
"Maybe it's an instinct that is stimulated when you meet an opponent......"
Zhao Ruozhi smiled helplessly, but the corners of his mouth were bitter that could not be erased.
