Reborn Tycoon Rise

Jiahe Headquarters:

"Xu Sheng, welcome!" Zou Wenhuai walked to the door, shook hands and smiled.

Xu Zhidao: "Zou Sheng is too polite."

Although I have been cooperating with Jiahe for some time, except for the first meeting and the banquet, I have never met at other times. Whether it is newspaper matters or film cooperation, He Guanchang is basically in charge. .

When Zou Wenhuai saw Lin Siqi and Yao Mingcheng coming together, he smiled and said, "Xu Sheng came to Jiahe in such a big way today. Could it be that he is preparing to sign a contract with Jiahe?"

Everyone walked into Zou Wenhuai's office together, and He Guanchang also followed.

Xu Zhi sat down and said with a smile: "Jiahe is the number one company in Xiangjiang Films, so it would be best if we can cooperate. But one thing comes to another. Our company currently has some investments that require a lot of cash. I don't know when Zou Sheng plans to do so." Give us the dividends from Drunken Master.”

Don't be too tactful when asking for money. Be honest when it's time to be honest. People won't withhold what they give you just because you are direct. And if they don't give it to you, don't be tactful. Even if you kneel down and kowtow, it will be useless.

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "What project does Xu Sheng want to invest in? Could it be a new movie? Changxing has already received the dividends from the Xiangjiang box office, and Wanwan over there has also been sold in other places. Why should he have four or five hundred yuan on hand?" Ten thousand, right? What kind of movie requires such a huge investment? Why not let us, Jiahe, participate and invest together."

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Film investment is one thing, but the account between Jiahe and Changxing should be another thing, right?"

Zou Wenhuai said: "Xu Sheng, to be honest, we at Jiahe recently intend to cooperate with a Hollywood company to make a blockbuster. The funds are relatively tight recently. I can't give you the dividends from Drunken Master for the time being. Of course, if Changxing can reach an agreement with us, Cooperation, this money can also be regarded as Changxing's investment. When the movie is produced, everyone will make money together. What does Xu Sheng think? Participating in a Hollywood masterpiece is a very great honor."

"Is it an honor to participate in the production of a blockbuster movie?" Xu Zhi cursed in his heart. After working on it for a long time, Zou Wenhuai actually came up with this idea.

The word "Hollywood" is indeed a symbol of strength in the Hong Kong film industry. Being able to participate in filming or investment is an honor for Hong Kong stars and investors. Although Xu Zhi disdains it, this is the market now.

If you agree, not only will you always be controlled by Golden Harvest, but you will probably never see the box office share of Drunken Master. Not to mention the losses of American movies, even if they make profits, you may not be able to get your money if you use capital.

When these big companies in Hollywood get ruthless, even Wall Street is tricked to death. Even if Zou Wenhuai cooperates with them, he is definitely at a disadvantage. I have to thank God for not being tricked. If Xu Zhi gets in, he will probably lose all his bones. .

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Hollywood movies will not welcome Chinese people. Li Xiaolong's success is an exception. If Zou Sheng really wants to invest heavily, he must be really cautious."

Although he did not refuse directly, Zou Wenhuai also saw that Xu Zhi was unwilling to enter the market, and said: "In this case, this money will be regarded as a loan from Jiahe to Changxing. We will definitely return it after one year with an interest of ten points. Xu Sheng What do you think?"

Xu Sheng smiled and said: "The interest rate is actually not low. With Zou Sheng's interest rate, you can borrow it from a bank. Why should you go to a small company like ours, Changxing?"

Zou Wenhuai said: "Since the interest rate is not low, why doesn't Xu Sheng agree?"

Xu Zhidao: "As an interest, it is not low, but if it is used for investment, it is too little."

Zou Wenhuai thought for a while and said: "Xu Sheng is only 17 years old this year. Even though he has the ability to write books and make movies, this investment is very risky, so you have to think clearly!"

Xu Zhi didn't want to go around any longer and asked directly: "Zou Sheng, please tell us when the money will be given to us. It has already passed the time stipulated in the contract. It will do no good for us to delay it any longer."

Zou Wenhuai glanced at Xu Zhi and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, there is no need to be so anxious. We in Jiahe have indeed had some financial difficulties recently. It is better to wait for a while!"

Xu Zhi sighed and glanced at Yao Mingcheng.

Yao Mingcheng took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Zou Wenhuai.

"What is this?" Zou Wenhuai didn't know why, but he still took it and looked at it for a while, his expression immediately changed drastically.

Xu Zhidao: "Zou Sheng should understand the meaning of this contract."

Zou Wenhuai's face was ashen, and He Guanchang on the side asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't answer and handed him the contract. He Guanchang glanced at it a few times and immediately became gloomy and said: "How could Aaron have signed such a contract? Why didn't you tell us?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Aaron and I signed this contract when we were filming Drunken Master. I was very optimistic about Aaron at that time, so I spent a lot of money to sign him for 5 film contracts."

Zou Wenhuai quickly returned to normal and said, "Is Xu Sheng trying to threaten us with this?"

"I don't dare take it seriously. It's just that according to this agreement, we have Aaron's priority. Until our movie is finished, he can't take on other movies." Xu Zhi sighed again: "I think it's better to shoot the movie slower. The Drunken Master this time was just too impatient, otherwise it might not have exceeded 10 million box office!"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Is Xu Sheng trying to delay time? This is not good for everyone. No matter how good your movie is, it will be useless if it is not released in theaters!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I can sell it to other places myself. Maybe the income will be lower, but it won't be a loss! It's a good deal to spend five years on five movies."

Zou Wenhuai said: "Xu Sheng may believe in the contract too much. Sometimes signing a contract is not foolproof."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, especially when an ordinary person targets a big company, the contract may not be valid. After all, Xiangjiang is a society of rich people!"

Zou Wenhuai said: "It seems that Xu Sheng also knows very well."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "But everything has loopholes, Zou Sheng, what do you think will happen if Shao Yifu gets this contract?"

Zou Wenhuai suddenly stopped as he was about to drink tea and gave Xu Zhi a hard look. This was indeed a loophole. If Xu Zhi went to court with him, he was fully confident that he could drag the other party to death. Even if he lost in the end, he could still solve it. The dead end of this binding contract can only result in a small loss of money at most.

But if the contract is in the hands of Shao Yifu, the situation will completely change. Originally, the relationship between the two of them was incompatible, and the other party's power is stronger than him. If he gets this reasonable contract again, I'm afraid it won't be the same by then. To pay a large sum of money is to lend Chen Long to the other party in accordance with the requirements in the contract.

He Guanchang, who was slowly reading the contract, suddenly said: "Aaron signed a contract with you Changxing. This contract doesn't say it can be transferred!"

The contract does not stipulate whether it can be transferred or not. Is this actually a problem? It can be said that it can be transferred or it can be said that it cannot be transferred. Which one is specific depends on which lawyer is good.

Zou Wenhuai's face lit up, if it couldn't be transferred, it would be much easier to solve.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, but even if it can't be transferred, it should be legal if I sell the company, right? Isn't it, Yao Dazhuang?"

Yao Mingcheng nodded and smiled: "Of course the company's sales are legal, and all cooperative relationships can naturally be continued."

Zou Wenhuai took the contract from He Guanchang, read it carefully, and said, "What does Xu Sheng want?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Get back my share of the dividends. As for these five contracts, the compensation should be 7.1 million each. I will transfer them to Zou Sheng at a discount of 3.5 million each. I wonder what Zou Sheng thinks?"

Wanting to negotiate according to the original contract is courting death. Even though Xu Zhi knows Chen Long's value, Zou Wenhuai doesn't. Although he is optimistic about Chen Long's future value, it is definitely impossible for Xu Zhi to ask him to pay tens of millions. After all, he doesn't Know the future.

Zou Wenhuai snorted and sneered directly: "Xu Sheng has a really big appetite. Even if you really sell this contract to Shao Yifu, he won't be able to give you this price."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that Shao Daheng has this character, but this is also my business. For Zou Sheng, if this contract is in the hands of Shao Yifu, I'm afraid your losses will be greater, right? This contract The lowest price is not how much Shao Yifu will pay, but how much Zou Sheng will lose?"

"Hahahaha..." Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xu Sheng is indeed good at scheming, but you should give this contract to Shao Yifu! I would rather have a good fight with him in the shopping mall and the court. It’s impossible to suffer such a hidden loss.”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Zou Sheng is really courageous. One thing was actually my mistake at the beginning. When we signed this agreement with Aaron, our liquidated damages were the highest box office record in Aaron's previous history. But maybe I forgot about it at the beginning. Sorry, I didn’t clearly state that it refers to the box office in Hong Kong. If I understood it as the global box office, it would be too funny. I guess there is no star in the whole of Hong Kong worth this price!"

Zou Wenhuai was stunned and immediately read the contract in his hand.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The box office of Drunken Master has exceeded 10 million US dollars. This compensation amount seems a bit exaggerated!"

Zou Wenhuai clenched his fists. He could see the value of Chen Long. Even in 5 years, it would definitely be more than 35 million Hong Kong dollars. But if it were a global box office, it would be more than 50 million US dollars in liquidated damages.

It's nonsense. If the opponent is the unknown Xu Zhi, he won't be afraid at all, but if it is Shao Yifu, he will probably make a big fuss.

You know, when Jiahe was founded, they made a movie that imitated Shaw Brothers' One-Armed Sword. In those days, the plot of the movie could not be called plagiarism! That’s learning from each other!

But even so, many lawsuits were filed in the end. Not only did he spend 800,000 yuan, but he also involved several distribution companies that Jiahe finally found. As a result, the whole Jiahe almost died completely.

He is not afraid of a compensation of 35 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, if it goes to court, this figure will be discounted. But if the other party insists on global box office, even if it is a few more discounts, Golden Harvest cannot afford it.

He Guanchang said: "Chen Long did not have a contract with the company before he signed with us. We at Jiahe have no such obligation."

Yao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Contracts are subject to the first signature. You can cancel the contract between you and Chen Long, and you can even pursue liability, but our contract is permanently valid. And now it is a negotiation, we only ask for the Hong Kong Box Office It’s only half, this is already very sincere.”

Zou Wenhuai sneered: "What a very sincere person."

Xu Zhidao: "Zou Sheng should understand the value of Aaron and this contract is real. We are now discussing the transfer of this contract. If Zou Sheng is not willing, then I can only go to Sir Shao Yifu. "

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "Wait, can you let me think about it for a few days?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, Zou Sheng will think about it slowly, but we will still go to Shaw Brothers, maybe Shaw Brothers will buy it directly."

Zou Wenhuai stared at Xu Zhidao coldly: "3 million, a contract, deal."

He Guanchang said hurriedly: "Old Zou..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zou Wenhuai with a wave of his hand.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, the deal will be done immediately, but the dividends from Drunken Master must be given to me immediately."

Zou Wenhuai's face turned livid and he nodded: "Okay."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, as long as the money is in place, I will send the original copy of this contract to Jiahe immediately."

He Guanchang suddenly said: "Now that this is the case, can Xu Sheng also transfer the shares of Jiahe Daily!"

Xu Zhi was stunned. He almost forgot about this. Now that the relationship with Jiahe is like this, there is no point in keeping those shares that have no power, so he nodded and said: "Okay, just 300,000, I don't want more, the rest is I will take out the next novel at once."

The reason why Jiahe cooperated with him in the first place was because he valued the newspaper company. In fact, after carefully calculating the price, it wasn't much, and Xu Zhi didn't like it either.

This is just like the contract price. Although the real breach of contract amount is very large, if you are too hesitant, you will only lose everything. Just find a number that the other party can accept. After all, if you really force the other party to go to court with Shao Yifu, Xu Zhi probably won’t even get back the box office share.
