Chapter 158: Late at Night
Lee Jin-woo and Martin are imaginative, fantasizing about the fictional magical world.
Claire and Gasko also started the first round of confrontation, and Lee Jin-woo wanted to get all the authorizations for Martin's work, which became excessive greed in Gasko's mouth.
"$80 million, and the follow-up dividends around it, if this is also called greed, those guys in Hollywood should be hanged on the street lamp."
For Claire's description, Gasko took it all, and of course he knew that this condition was not too harsh.
But striving for better conditions for his employer is the purpose of his coming here, and it is also the meaning of his existence.
If he didn't do anything, why would Martin spend a fortune to hire himself.
Glancing at the two of them who were chatting happily, Gasko pretended to be generous and said, "Okay, for the sake of their friends...... Let's talk about the dividend ratio. ”
Claire knew he was difficult, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.
As time went on, the arguments in the living room grew louder and louder, and the two almost quarreled.
His thoughts were frequently interrupted, and Martin was a little irritable.
Li Zhenyu also said helplessly: "It seems that we can only talk about it here today, so let's finish the business first and then discuss the follow-up part." ”
Martin nodded, but it felt like a thousand feathers were scratching his heart.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
"Gasco." Martin stopped Gasko, who was still arguing, and called him aside to discuss it quietly.
Li Zhenyu also came to Claire's side, chuckled and said firmly: "It seems that there will be a result." ”
"Martin will put pressure on him?" Claire was thoughtful.
Li Zhenyu nodded, which was an answer to her question.
This relieved Claire that Gasco was not a small person to deal with, and she had not been able to take advantage of anything so far.
However, Claire has also been biting the bottom line, which is also the key point for the two to argue until they quarrel.
Now, with Martin's involvement, I believe that the situation will change.
For her, this is good news.
"Boss, how did you convince him?"
In Claire's opinion, Martin must have been influenced by him to make such a decision.
Li Zhenyu smiled slightly and said, "I think he did this out of our friendship." ”
Only he understands that this change comes from 'Martin's friendship. ’
In Martin's heart, he has become the most important friend in his life, and there is no one.
"Martin, you can't ......"
"I've decided, this condition is not bad, and I don't want my friend's interests to be harmed because of me."
"Your kindness will hurt you."
The argument between the two gradually came to an end, and Li Zhenyu didn't hear all of it clearly, but he also heard a few words one after another.
Looking at Carlisle's questioning gaze, he nodded firmly.
Soon, Martin and Gasco walked over.
The former had a serious face, and the latter had a bit of helplessness on his face.
"Li, are you prepared for the contract?"
"Of course, it's just that the conditions haven't been negotiated yet."
"No, that's enough."
Martin shook his head and told him to sign according to the plan he had just agreed.
The $80 million royalty and the subsequent 12 percent revenue share of the surrounding area can be signed now.
"Wait, I'm going to change the contract now."
Claire's assistant went to revise the percentage of the contract, and the few people who remained on the scene toasted together to celebrate the upcoming collaboration.
"Lee, I hope the project can be launched as soon as possible, I want everyone to see that wonderful world as soon as possible."
"Yes, Martin......"
Li Zhenyu promised him that the 'Ice and Fire' project would be launched within two years.
"Two years?" Martin frowned, clearly not satisfied.
"It's not easy to present that world perfectly, and there's a lot of preparation that needs to be done in advance. Martin, you don't want to leave your work with regrets, right? ”
This reason satisfies Martin, and since it is to better present the work perfectly, it is naturally worth the time to wait.
When the assistant returns with the contract, Claire and Gasco are sure that there is no problem.
Lee Jin-woo was the first to sign his name on the contract, and then handed the pen to Martin.
Hmmm~
The signing was completed, and the amber Yamazaki single malt whisky was added to the coffee table glass.
"Cooperative Entertainment~"
After talking about business, Claire and Gasco's mission is completed, and the two leave the villa on their front and back feet.
Martin stayed, wanting to continue the previous discussion with Li Zhenyu.
The two talked from day to night, and continued to talk during dinner, until it was getting dark, and Martin was reluctant to leave under his reminder.
"Martin, we can communicate by email in the future, and I will let you know as soon as I have any ideas."
"Lee, I knew you were a reliable and respectable friend."
Martin hugged him warmly and waved his hand to the car parked on the side of the road and drove towards the city center.
With no one in the way, Liu Meina finally had time to pester him.
Ran up and grabbed his arm, and was about to say something, when the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.
Seeing the caller ID, Liu Meina pouted and hung it up.
But in the next second, the other party called again: "Anihasse, your lovely and well-behaved daughter is not here, and now she is a vicious and rebellious pregnant daughter, please don't call again, that's it, I'm going to hang up." ”
"Liu Meina, do you have to let me freeze all your cards to be obedient?" The threat in his ears made Liu Meina, who put down the phone and pressed her thumb on the hang up button, to stop moving.
Annoyed, he put it to his ear again, "You said, don't threaten me with this." ”
"You also said that you will listen to me and do what I say."
Seeing her angry expression, although Li Zhenyu didn't know the inside story, he probably guessed what the situation was.
Small conflicts between mother and daughter, just let them solve it themselves.
Reaching out and pinching her plump and moist face, Li Zhenyu pointed to the room and said silently: "I'm going out for a trip, wait for me at home." ”
Liu Meina wanted to ask, 'What are you going to do,' but she still had to deal with her mother on the phone, so she could only reluctantly nod her head and tiptoe to kiss him on the face.
"What's the voice, Liu Meina, where are you?"
"I didn't tell you ......"
Turning around and walking to the side with a weak heart, Li Zhenyu also walked quickly towards the room.
He also had to go to meet someone, and the other party wrote to him in the afternoon to ask him to meet.
Li Zhenyu originally wanted to set it for tomorrow, but the other party was going to fly to Georgia early tomorrow morning to attend the second half of the business meeting held by the fabric manufacturer.
Therefore, the meeting can only be scheduled in the evening.
The address is the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, an open-air bar on the top 12th floor.
When Li Zhenyu arrived, Alice Lee already had two empty cups in front of her.
"Alice."
Li Zhenyu raised his hand to say hello and sat opposite her with a smile on his face.
Alice Lee glanced at the slender watch on her wrist, "You're late, but it's okay, what do you want to drink?" ”
"Mojito."
A rum-based mid-strength cocktail that is considered to have a more masculine taste.
"I'll have a drink too."
Alice Lee had already drunk two glasses, and the third she wanted to change her taste.
"It's a nice view."
The two of them are located close to the fence, and they only need to look down on most of Hollywood with a slight probe.
The mountain is brightly lit and full of people, and from time to time fireworks explode in the sky, lighting up most of the sky.
Hollywood at night is a haven for revelers.
"yes!" Alice Lee echoed with emotion.
Then, she withdrew her sloppy reminiscence gaze and talked about the reason why she invited him this time.
Alice Lee has a sum of money that has been handed over to the investment company.
Recently, she wanted to change companies to take care of her money, but the financial crisis had reduced the profits of her previous institution, and the profits were no longer enough to satisfy her.
"How much is this money?"
"200 million."
"Dollars?"
Alice Lee put down the wine glass, stroked the short hair that fell to her eyes with her fingers, and said with a smile: "If it's Korean won, how embarrassed am I to come to you." ”
This sentence is not deliberately praising him, Alice Lee is just stating a fact.
KRW 200 million......
She herself was embarrassed to show her hand, let alone deliberately squeeze out time to invite him to meet here.
"Don't think about it again?" Li Zhenyu wanted to know how much she had heard and how determined she was.
"Don't think about it, I will stay in the mold country for 2 days, let people prepare the formalities, and you can sign the contract after you go back."
Li Zhenyu playfully quipped: "If you don't ask anything, you dare to hand over $200 million to me, it seems that you already know enough details." ”
"I've just heard that you never let a friend down."
"Are we friends?"
Li Zhenyu stretched out his hand and pointed between the two, when did this friendship begin.
Alice Lee picked up her wine glass, lowered her crossed legs, and sat beside him around the coffee table: "Now, isn't it." ”
