Rebirth of Hong Kong: Rising Era

Chapter 155 Cooperation
"Jack King, welcome to your arrival. We finally meet again." When the head of Fox saw Wang Yaodong, he immediately stood up and greeted him in a friendly manner.

He also walked towards Wang Yaodong and extended his right hand to him.

Wang Yaodong was stunned when he saw how enthusiastic he was, but he recovered and smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"Thank you. This is the second time we have met. I don't know your name yet. I'm very sorry."

"Little Alan Reid, you can just call me Reid. Let's sit down over there and talk."

Upon seeing this, Wang Yaodong followed him to the sofa and sat down.

"Red wine or coffee?" Little Alan Reid asked Wang Yaodong.

"Coffee, thank you!" Wang Yaodong replied politely.

After hearing this, little Ellen Reid raised his head and signaled the secretary with his eyes, and she immediately understood and went to make coffee.

As for Han Feng and the three of them, they did not come in. When they were at the door, they were stopped by the secretary, claiming that they were coming in.

Wang Yaodong didn't care either. Fox couldn't do anything to him in public, right?

So Wang Yaodong asked the three of them to wait at the door.

"Mr. Reid, do you want to call me for something?" Wang Yaodong asked after closing the office door.

Little Alan Reid didn't understand the Chinese people's twists and turns, so he went straight to the point: "Sheng Wang should know that our life at Fox has not been easy recently. We think your ability to write scripts is very good, and we are willing to use 50 Ten thousand dollars, please write a script for us."

Wang Yaodong understood it as soon as he heard what he said.

It seems like Fox has been having a tough time lately.

As far as he knew, they had always been supported by a Star Wars movie.

Such a large film company cannot sustain itself for long if it only relies on one movie.

But Wang Yaodong didn't expect that he would offer himself such a high price of US$50.

You know, at this price you can shoot a big-budget movie in Hong Kong.

Wang Yaodong thought it was okay to write one, but then he thought, maybe he could also seek Fox Company.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After thinking about it clearly, Wang Yaodong said apologetically to little Alan Reid: "Mr. Reid, I'm sorry, I don't have much inspiration right now."

Little Alan Reid looked disappointed when he heard what he said. He did not expect this result.

He originally thought that there would be several movie scripts written by Wang Yaodong at once, and he should be able to handle them, but he did not expect that it would be such a result.

Among the several films that were brought over, the best ones were "The Love Between Ghosts" and "A Better Tomorrow."

Both of these films are also scripts written by Wang Yaodong.

After thinking about it, little Alan Reid still felt a little unwilling, so he spoke again: "Jack Wang, our company is very sincere. If there is a price issue, you can tell us and we can discuss it."

Wang Yaodong was about to refuse again, but thought of something and fell silent again, thinking in his heart.

Seeing him lost in thought, little Alan Reid sat quietly and waited for his answer.

Wang Yaodong didn't think for long and changed his mind: "I can write this script for Fox."

As soon as Wang Yaodong said these words, little Alan Reid immediately showed a smile on his face.

However, Wang Yaodong did not finish his words, and then said: "I will invest the money from this script into the movie, and I will take half of the share. If it is not enough, I can make up for it in cash, and I must be paid within two months after the movie is released. Earned gains.”

Little Alan Reid's face changed when he heard what he said, and he immediately said, "No, no, no, your request is a bit too much."

The reason why Wang Yaodong suddenly changed his tune was actually because he was afraid that he would not have enough funds and wanted to give Fox some time to survive.

Moreover, Xiangjiang is now his base camp. He intends to compete with Li Chaoren for Hong Kong Electric, and the fight will not be easy.

After all, this is a multi-billion acquisition project, and it can't be done without sufficient cash on hand.

With this aspect in mind, I thought of cooperating with Fox on a few movies to earn some money first, while extending its life for a while and leaving time for acquisitions.

Wang Yaodong also knew that Alan Reid Jr. could not agree to his request. Looking at his distraught expression, he smiled and said, "Red, there is a saying in our place that you can pay back the money on the spot if you ask for the price, and you don't You don't need to answer me now, since we are going to talk about cooperation, I will at least stay for a few more days."

Little Alan Reid breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Marvin and we'll talk about it later. As for this script, can you write it first?"

He also knew that although Wang Yaodong said that he would "ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot".

But he knew that this was to be discussed on the basis of his words, and this was not easy.

When Wang Yaodong saw that the cooperation with him had not been settled yet, he hoped that he would write the script first. He couldn't help but think: Fox has really reached this point and is so impatient. In this way, he will have much greater negotiating power.

After discussing this matter next time, Wang Yaodong talked to little Alan Reid about the previous issue of dividends.

"Mr. Reid, my film company in Xiangjiang also needs money recently. I wonder if you can ask the person who settled here to help me with the payment first." Wang Yaodong said in a more tactful tone.

This was to save him face, and he didn't say that he wanted to use the dividends to blackmail him into meeting him.

He didn't have to be like this at that time. He just hoped that I could write a script for them. It was enough to just say this directly. There was no need to do this.

Wang Yaodong also didn't understand why little Alan Reid had such a brain circuit.

At this time, the secretary brought in two cups of coffee and put them down before leaving the office again.

Little Alan Reid first made a gesture of invitation, then took a sip of coffee and said, "Tomorrow I will arrange for finance to transfer the money to your studio."

Wang Yaodong nodded when he heard what he said. Just give him the money.

There are actually no people in his studio, there are only two people in total, one is the financial officer, and the other is responsible for the release of the film with Fox.

Seeing that all the business matters had been discussed, little Alan Reid turned to Wang Yaodong to talk about things in the film industry.

What he didn't expect was that Wang Yaodong could actually have a back-and-forth conversation with him on this matter.

Moreover, Wang Yaodong knew more than himself about some things.

This still made him wonder, how could Wang Yaodong be so aware of these things when he seemed to be in the United States for the second time.

Wang Yaodong also saw his doubts but did not explain anything to him.

Did you tell him that you were reborn decades later?
If you say that, even if you don't think you are a fool, you will be dragged into slices!
After the two talked for half an hour, Wang Yaodong stood up and said, "I'll be here today. We'll discuss the cooperation tomorrow afternoon."

Little Allen Reid didn't say much. He still had things to do. He stood up and said to Wang Yaodong: "I'll wait for you here tomorrow."

Wang Yaodong said nothing more and turned around and left the office.

When Han Feng saw that he was leaving, he followed the other two people out of Fox Company.

……

"Wang Sheng, where are we going?" Han Feng asked Wang Yaodong after getting into the car.

Wang Yaodong thought that there would be nothing wrong if he returned to the hotel now, so he said, "Come to our studio and wait for it!"

Han Feng nodded when he heard this, picked up the phone and dialed the person who came to pick him up before, and after explaining the matter, the person immediately reported his location.

When the person in charge of the studio heard that the boss was coming over, he immediately swept the floor and wiped the tables.

In fact, there is nothing to tidy up the area of ​​just over 30 square meters.

After a while, Han Feng brought Wang Yaodong to the studio.

As soon as we arrived at the door, the two employees were facing each other.

A person in charge was sent from Xiangjiang, and as for the finance, an American was hired from the United States.In the United States, where discrimination is serious now, things will be much easier to develop if there is an American here.

In fact, the finance department is a bit boring now that I have come here. I just wait to get off work every day, and there is basically nothing to do.

She was just about to leave after get off work, but when she heard that her boss was coming, she didn't leave first.

Although this job is boring, the salary is real. How could she be willing to give up such an easy job!

"Wang Sheng!"

"Wang Sheng!"

The two immediately greeted Wang Yaodong when they saw him.

Wang Yaodong nodded, and said to the two of them, "Chu Muxing, why don't you introduce me to the person next to you?"

When Chu Muxing heard about it, he immediately introduced him: "Sheng Wang, this is Lingna, the accountant of the studio."

"Let's go in and talk!" Wang Yaodong said after hearing the words.

"Wang Sheng, please!" Chu Muxing stretched out his hand to signal.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yaodong led Han Feng and others in.

……

"Everyone drinks water." Chu Muxing took a few glasses of water and put them in front of everyone.

"Thank you!" Han Feng and others quickly thanked them.

Only Wang Yaodong didn't say anything, just picked it up and took a sip.

He put down the water glass and said to the two of them: "The dividends that Fox owes us will arrive tomorrow at the latest. Lingna, please check it then. Then keep 300 million US dollars and transfer the rest to the head office in Xiangjiang."

"Sheng Wang, are you willing to pay the dividends?" Chu Muxing said with a smile.

For now, he insists on following Lingna to their place to ask for the account, or else he won't come back.

Now it's finally okay and I finally get my money back.

Although this money is not what they want.

Wang Yaodong saw that he was so happy after hearing this, and he also understood his mood of constantly collecting debts here.

"Well, he promised me that the money will arrive tomorrow." After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Let's turn this studio directly into a company. We are going to invest in movies here in the United States and hire more professionals. "

"Okay, we'll do it tomorrow."

When Chu Muxing heard what he said, he immediately agreed and said, "Then do we want to change our names?"

"Let's call it Huameng Media Company!" Wang Yaodong replied.

"Understood!" Chu Muxing replied after writing it down.

Wang Yaodong didn't stay here for long, and left after sitting for about half an hour.

But when leaving, Wang Yaodong said to the two of them: "The Li Tiejun next to me will stay here for a day tomorrow."

Chu Muxing understood what he meant as soon as he heard this. This was to keep an eye on the money coming tomorrow!
Although they knew it was Wang Yaodong's distrust of the two of them, they still smiled and replied: "That's just right. Otherwise, it's just the two of us here, and it will be more lively with one more person."

Seeing that he was so sensible, Wang Yaodong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, I will not treat my own people badly."

After that, he took a few people back to the car.

Lingna didn't have much thought and had no idea what it meant to arrange for someone to come over for a day.

After seeing the boss leaving, he went back to pick up his bag and left the studio.

……

"Wang Sheng, why do you want me to come here for a day tomorrow?" Li Tiejun asked in confusion when he got back in the car.

He broke his head and didn't understand what Wang Yaodong's intention was.

Besides, he doesn’t understand movies!

What's the use of him coming here to stay for a day?
When Wang Yaodong heard his question, he smiled slightly and said, "Come over here tomorrow and don't let them leave. As for when to leave, wait for my call."

"Won't you let them leave?"

Li Tiejun was even more confused when he heard this and had no idea what it meant.

At this time, Han Feng understood what was going on, so he asked Li Tiejun: "Tiejun, didn't you just hear Wang Sheng say that a large sum of money will enter the studio tomorrow?"

After being reminded like this, Li Tiejun finally turned around and understood Wang Yaodong's intention.

"Wang Sheng, are you afraid that the two of them will work together and abscond with the money?" Li Tiejun asked in impossibility.

He had just met those two people and felt that they did not look like this kind of people!
"I don't think they'll do that."

"Then why do you want me to watch?"

Wang Yaodong turned his head and looked directly at Li Tiejun.

When Han Feng saw Wang Yaodong's expression, he immediately said: "Tie Jun, just do whatever Wang Sheng tells you to do, don't ask too many questions."

Li Tiejun was taken aback when he heard Han Feng, and when he saw Wang Yaodong's expression again, he knew that he had asked too many questions.

"I'm sorry, Wang Sheng."

"It's okay!" Wang Yaodong shook his head.

Then, the car fell into a quiet atmosphere.

……

"It's late, let's have a meal first."

The car arrived at the hotel and Wang Yaodong said after getting off.

After saying that, he walked directly towards the restaurant, and Han Feng and others behind him also followed his pace.

"In the future, you will do whatever Wang Sheng tells you. Don't worry about too much, okay?" Han Feng pulled Li Tiejun and walked two steps slowly and whispered.

Li Tiejun also knew that he had just asked too many questions in the car, so he nodded and said: "Squad leader, I understand."

After hearing this, Han Feng walked a few steps faster to keep up with them.

Entering the restaurant, Han Feng and others habitually wanted to sit separately from Wang Yaodong.

When Wang Yaodong saw it, he immediately stopped him: "There's no need to separate when I'm alone. Come sit down and eat with me!"

Han Feng and the others stopped when they heard it, and retreated back to sit at the same dining table with Wang Yaodong.

Wang Yaodong gave them the menu and said, "You order what you want to eat first!"

Han Feng took it and looked at it, then handed it to Wang Yaodong and said, "Wang Sheng, you better order it."
