Chapter 67 Broker Talks

When Carl stood in front of the restaurant, he felt a little apprehensive.

He wore a gray suit and black tie, and carried a briefcase that had been with him since he joined the company, nervously loosening his cuffs.

"I don't know if Jimmy is ready to pave the way......" When he called this morning, Jimmy said that he was going to eat in the restaurant with Donde, and he hurriedly asked Jimmy to tell him the name of the restaurant, and planned to pretend to meet by chance.

Because after investigating in the past few days, he did find that Tang De had not taken a job for a while, and heard that Mike had complained about Tang De's temper to others.

It seems that the two of them have indeed been at odds with each other.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity, although it is the CAA's practice that brokers must be replaced after the contracted period of service, but not in the case of intra-company transfers.

As long as he understands Donde, he can use this to go to his immediate boss, Vice President Edinson, who will then report to the president and ask for Donde's contract to be transferred to his name.

At that time, Mike's most outstanding MV director will be cut off by himself.

This made Carl excited for a long time at night, and he couldn't sleep well for the past few days, turning back and forth until he was kicked out of bed by his wife.

He had to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity, and although he was a rather lazy guy, laziness also required money and status, didn't it?

And there is nothing to lose if it fails.

Carl thought everything about it and stepped into the restaurant, an ordinary steakhouse with no extravagant decorations or bells and whistles, just a taste that had been around for more than a decade.

Tang De likes this shop very much, those lavishly decorated shops often lose the most essential things of food, and blindly pursue form. On the contrary, this kind of small shop has a better taste because it does not have much money to promote and market.

He picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, when he suddenly heard a surprised greeting from the side, "Hey, Jimmy, why are you here?" ”

Jimmy looked up in understanding and pretended to be surprised: "Carl, why are you?" ”

"Oh, I was attracted by the smell coming from the door, it happened to be noon, and it was time to fill my stomach." After Carl finished speaking, he pulled out a chair and sat down, turned his head to look at Tang De, first stunned, and then said in a shocked tone: "Oh! Oh my God, Donde! ”

"Hello." Don De held out his hand.

Carl hurriedly shook hands: "I really didn't expect you to be here, I was listening to Avril Avril a few days ago, and that MV was awesome!" ”

Jimmy pursed his lips when he saw this, and secretly explained the truth of Carl's performance.

But whether it's true or not, the play will continue to be staged, because it is not only Carl's will, but also Donde's.

"Thank you for the like." After Tang De finished speaking, he continued to eat, Carl glanced at Jimmy, and Jimmy continued to speak: "By the way, Tang De, why haven't you been taking jobs recently?" Are you planning to retire? ”

Don shrugged: "I'd like to, but Mike has been taking care of his new director lately, and those singers for me are all terrible, and I mean their songs, so I don't want to waste time and energy on them." ”

"That's right, I think it's right, the MV shot by Tang De has topped the Billboard twice in a row, and this kind of title must match those big-name singers." Carl nodded: "To be honest, I have several big-name singers in my hands who want to release songs this year, but the director of the MV has not been found, if you are my client, I will definitely give it to you." ”

Seeing Tang De frowning, Carl gritted his teeth and added, "Although I know that I am a little ugly when I say this, but Tang De, Mike may not attach much importance to you. I heard that those directors under his command recently signed a supplementary agreement, and it is said that the salary is very generous, but you didn't receive it, which shouldn't be. ”

Didn't receive it? Tang De smiled in his heart, but he didn't want to sign.

"So, even if I make you my agent, what will I get?" Tang De asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Karl immediately came to his senses, took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and said: "It's very simple, if you are willing to come over, I can apply for an absolutely superior agreement." ”

"Whether it's resources, expenses, salary, or the right to choose the lead, I can give it all to you and let you call the shots!" Carl knew that he had nothing left as a marginal agent, so he simply took out all his chips and pressed them on the table.

"You can make your own decisions?" Don De pouted in disbelief.

"Of course! You can choose all the singers yourself, shoot them if you want them, and throw them to others if you don't want to shoot them. Salary according to the top ...... in the industry I can decide the maximum percentage of the share, and I won't interfere with everything on the set, even if you increase the budget, but I will review it. I can guarantee that you will be able to mobilize more resources here than Mike will give you! ”

Carl finished speaking in one breath, staring into Donde's eyes, trying to see his emotions.

But no matter how he looked at it, he could only perceive calmness, even with such good conditions, Tang De did not recklessly determine it.

He just nodded slightly: "It's not bad, but to be honest, it's not much different from me on Mike's side." ”

Carl couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

However, then Donde suddenly said: "But I think at least your attitude is more sincere than Mike, I believe that if I were under your banner, you would do everything to help me, right?" ”

"Of course!" Karl replied decisively.

Tang De smiled and frowned suddenly: "But it should be very troublesome to change agents, and you must wait until the contract expires." ”

"Nope! Tang De, as long as you nod your head, I'll do this! Seeing that there was hope for things, Carl naturally would not give up easily, and directly took the big package.

"Hmm...... Well, Carl, you convinced me. Tang De thought for a moment and stretched out his hand.

Karl instantly smiled and clasped Donde's hand.

When he came out of the restaurant, his steps were still a little fluttering, he didn't expect that the things he had in mind could be done so quickly!

Although it is still far from the final agreement, because Donder requires him to release himself from Mike first, it doesn't matter, as long as there is hope, Carl can fight it.

He thought about it, looked at his watch, and it was time for his favorite tea. But instead of going home, he drove in the direction of the CAA building.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Donder are chatting about Carl.

"Why don't you just go to Vice President Edinson and talk to him faster?" Jimmy was puzzled.

Tang De shook his head: "No, Jimmy, in fact, it is very simple to change agents, as long as I am willing to tear my face with Mike, I can change at any time." But why should I be a bird? And I want to take the initiative, especially the choice, so I have to make Carl and Edinson think that they are asking for me, that they are ...... Hopefully I'll change agents, not me and beg them to sign me away.

"Only then will they give me the best treatment. Just like falling in love, the one who pays more will always tolerate more, and retreating is always invincible. ”

"It's hard to understand." Jimmy still didn't get too much of it.

Tang De smiled and gave him an example: "Just like why I didn't say that Carl's conditions are better than Mike's just now, it's because I want to belittle him first, make him disappointed, and then affirm him from his attitude, so that he will think that he has done a good job, so that he has changed my attitude, and he will work harder." ”

Jimmy was stunned for a few seconds: "Damn, you know so much!" ”

As soon as he said this, Jimmy's mobile phone suddenly rang, and after answering the phone, he said to Don De with an excited expression: "Don De, our tobacco idea has passed!" ”
