As soon as he met Williams, Li Zhenyu knew that this acquisition would be rewarding.

The attitude of "I can't wait to get out of the field, and I don't want to bother to take care of this mess" is too obvious.

Twitter's influence has not yet been recognized, and the team has never been able to find a profitable point.

Free and open rules are destined to grow with all kinds of controversies and troubles.

Williams is fed up with the pressure, he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, goes to the bar for a good drink, and invites like-minded girls to come over by the way.

He wants to live like a human being more than the potential that Twitter has.

Everyone's pursuits are different, and the choices they make are naturally different.

What's more, he really can't find a way out of Twitter.

How to make a profit?!!!

This is difficult for everyone, and if the problem of profitability can be solved, Twitter's valuation will at least several times higher than it is today.

He wouldn't accept the other party's $320 million offer here, and he's really considering whether to say yes.

Williams clenched his fists in humiliation, but had to compromise with reality.

"It's not enough, 400 million is my reserve price...... I am responsible for the other founders and investors."

"$320 million, each of you can become a billionaire, isn't that responsible enough?"

"Twitter deserves more......" Lee tilted his head and leaned back, signaling that it was Claire's up.

He carefully observed Williams's expressions and behaviors, and read and wrote about his true thoughts.

keen insight,

It can make it easy for Li Zhenyu to read and write about the changes in his face, and then infer his true thoughts.

This ability was the first time he had used it with all his attention, and the effect was remarkable.

Through observation, Li Zhenyu judged that the price in his heart was around 350 million, because when Claire proposed this price, his performance was the largest.

The corners of the eyes are constricted, the corners of the mouth are sunken, and the eyes flicker and flutter.

"Found you."

After making sure that his observation was correct, Li Zhenyu stood up suddenly: "350 million, William, this is my last sincerity, if you and your team can't accept it, I can only say it's a pity."

The moment he left with the contract, Li Zhenyu dialed Lu Rong's number: "Dear Lu, I think it's time for you to speed up."

It takes a month for Lu Rong to hand over the business and leave Goldman Sachs, but now Li Zhenyu doesn't have so much time for her.

Carlisle could handle the handover of Twitter, but the business began to require Lu Rong's cooperation.

Li Zhenyu will put his ideas on paper, and Lu Rong's responsibility is to let the company follow the route he designed and go on unswervingly.

"Three weeks, give me three weeks."

"Okay, just three weeks."

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhenyu looked at Claire, who pretended not to care.

The style of covering your ears and stealing the bell is really cute......

"Claire."

"Eh, boss, is there anything I need to do?"

Claire asked knowingly, but her heart was full of anticipation.

"Congratulations, Uveralvee's business is yours."

The annual agency fee is 5 million US dollars, which is only a thin line away from the giants.

Claire won the biggest agency contract in recent years.

"BOSS, is it okay to sign the contract now? I brought it."

Looking at the contract she couldn't wait to take out from her bag, Li Zhenyu really had the urge to poach people for a while.

Such a dedicated employee, even if it is worth the shares!

After finding a random café and signing the contract face-to-face, Claire said she needed to call the law firm and tell her colleagues about it.

Leaving Li Zhenyu alone, bored left and right, he raised his hand and asked for a cup of coffee to pass the time.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw sitting

The bearded man in the corner at the end of the left front.

With sparse white hair, a bushy beard, a thick nose like a flat strawberry, and a bloated body, he had to push the table out a few centimeters.

A man sat there quietly, with a notebook in front of him.

The palm of the pencil is supporting the head, and the eyebrows are slightly sad.

"Martin?" Li Zhenyu was a little unsure.

This man does look a lot like Lord Martin, but how could he be here?

With coffee in hand, Li Zhenyu walked towards the other party, "I'm sorry, are you George Martin?"

Whitebeard looked up at him, looked at him with a sad face, and smiled, "Yes, is there anything wrong, my friend."

"Oh, what an honor." Li Zhenyu pointed to the position next to him: "Can I sit down?"

"Of course."

Martin behaved kindly, pulling the table into his arms to make room for him.

Li Zhenyu sat down sideways and put a pair of long legs in the aisle: "I really didn't expect to meet you here, I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones."

"Game of Thrones, that's the story of the first season, friend, you shouldn't miss the rest of the story."

A Song of Ice and Fire Season 1 series was called Game of Thrones, and at this time it had not yet been changed to a TV series, and Martin thought he only loved the story of the first season.

"No, no, sorry, I like to call it Game of Thrones, it sounds more appealing."

Complimented by the "fans", Martin laughed out loud: "That's right, the power struggle is like a fierce game, what a desirable name."

"Young man, did you bring a book, I can sign it."

Martin offered to sign his book.

Li Zhenyu shook his head helplessly, and said in frustration, "It's a pity that I put it at home."

"Oh, that's terrible." Martin thought for a moment and said, "If it's not far away, I'm willing to wait for you here."

"I hope so, too, but it's on the other side of the ocean."

This time, Martin had no choice but to spread his hands, saying that he couldn't help it.

Li Zhenyu also restrained his expression, and asked the topic he was most concerned about.

"When will it be on the screen?"

"Unfortunately, I can't guarantee this, everything is under negotiation...... But I don't think it will be long before it comes out."

？？？

The rights to Game of Thrones have not been negotiated yet, and HBO has not been able to give a price that satisfies Martin?

Hahaha...... Xiba, that's great.

"Martin, actually, I'm also a filmmaker, and this time I'm bringing my film to talk about collaboration, distribution, and you'll see soon, "Parasite" ......."

Knowing that he was a producer + director, Martin's attitude was a little colder.

Li Zhenyu saw his vigilance and displeasure, and it seemed that he thought that he was deliberately using his identity as a fan to get closer to him, and all his previous performances were fake.

"Martin, I didn't come here to meet you by chance. Believe it or not, I actually just negotiated an acquisition and my lawyer and I have completed the legal representation contract here......

I didn't expect to meet you here. Because you're supposed to be in New Mexico, and if I want to create a chance encounter, where can I look for opportunities."

Martin was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was right.

Because of the bottleneck in his creation, he came out on a whim to relax, and came to San Francisco by chance.

This café was also accidentally seen when I was tired of walking, and I came in temporarily.

If such a casual choice can also "create" chance encounters, then he must be more sincere than everyone he has ever met.

Letting down his guard, Martin became kind and talkative again, talking to him about the difficulties he had encountered during his creative work.

There is no clear story or character, just a general description under the big framework.

But Li Zhenyu still accurately guessed through his description that his creation was stuck in the fifth volume, The Dance of the Demon Dragon.

After the release of Volume 4, "A Feast of Crows", he topped the bestseller list of "***", and Time Magazine even called him "Tolkien of the Moldy Country."

But in reality, the book fans do not rate Volume 4 very highly.

The contents that should have been combined into one volume were split into two volumes, leaving many of the popular characters without making appearances after the gripping ending of Volume 3.

The content of the entire volume of the fourth volume is very hollow, lacking important elements that make people's blood rush.

This made Martin feel stressed, and at the same time, producer offers from all over the world often disrupted his thoughts and creations, making him feel uneasy.

Money is moving, Martin is just an ordinary person, how could he refuse the temptation of money.

But he didn't want the tragedy of "Nightcrawler" to happen again, and insisted on waiting for the most opportune time before handing over the copyright.

And, this time, he had to be personally involved, including the change of the script and the entire shooting plan.

PS: Don't think about the name bold, hahaha!

Thank you for the reward from the book friends, and thank you to the boss~
