Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 49 Deadpool and Iron Man, fish and bear’s paws

Of course Jimmy knew about the famous Eton College.

At the same time, he also knew that there is a saying: Eton College Street, ask who is the father!

Those who can go to Eton College have better backgrounds than the others.

Princes from the Middle East and the second generations of wealthy and powerful families in Asia and Europe all tried to get into this school.

There is no other reason than that you can make a wide range of connections in this school.

And this is exactly the bargaining chip that Kendall and the Roman brothers plan to use to negotiate copyrights with Jamie.

-

Lily and Bart's wedding ceremony went off without a hitch.

Finally, under the witness of relatives, friends and guests, the pastor announced that the two were officially married.

At the dinner after the ceremony, Jimmy brought Kendall and Roman's original words to Jamie.

Jamie nodded after listening, picked up a glass of red wine, and went straight to Logan Roy, who was talking to Lily and Bart, and his third wife Marcia.

"Mr. Roy, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Not far away, Kendall, Roman and Sif saw this scene, and their faces all changed color.

Logan didn't expect that he just sent his two sons to test Jamie's attitude.

Unexpectedly, Jamie came directly to the door.

Looks like those two idiots messed up again!
Logan glanced at his two sons who were timid and did not dare to look at him, and then noticed that his daughter Sif also deliberately turned her face to the side.

He obviously looked guilty.

"Mr. Bass, I assume there must be a room in the manor where we can talk conveniently?"

Logan not only agreed to Jamie's request for dialogue, but also asked Marcia to call his three useless children into the room.

Here, Jamie and Logan had just sat down on the armchair next to the fireplace, and before they officially started talking, Roman, who followed them through the door, took the lead in attacking Kendall and Sif.

"Obviously I found Jamie first, and I was absolutely sure that I could convince him, but Kendall thought he was smart and came out to interfere."

"The most disgusting thing is Sif. She directly stated the minimum price of the negotiation in front of everyone. She made it clear that she didn't want to see me or Kendall do this."

Logan's original intention of calling his three children in was to let them participate in the negotiation, and to test who of the three was better.

As a result, the younger son gave him a fight first!
"go out!"

Logan raised his hand and pointed toward the door.

"Dad, I—"

"roll!!"

A violent and thunderous roar sounded.

Roman immediately turned around and left with his head hanging down like a defeated rooster.

Kendall's mouth moved.

"dad--"

"You go too!"

Kendall was frightened and turned around to leave.

The remaining one, Sif, was very conscious and didn't need Logan to "invite" her. She consciously planned to leave with Kendall behind her.

As soon as she reached the door, Logan stopped her.

"Sif, I know it's unfair for you to leave the matter to Kendall and Roman without calling you, but I hope that the way you express your dissatisfaction next time is to stand up and tell me directly that you want to talk to Kendall. Compete with Roman instead of hiding behind and doing some self-righteous little stunt."

If there were only father and daughter in the room, Sif might still be able to hear what Logan said.

But right now, not only is stepmother Marcia present, but also an outsider like Jamie is sitting there.

Logan's disrespectful behavior made Sif feel extremely embarrassed.

Suppressing the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart, Sif left the room without looking back.

Logan rubbed his tense eyebrows and turned to look at Jamie.

"What do you think of my way of handling this?"

"You're a good leader, but you're clearly not a good father."

Marcia on the side was shocked.

She didn't expect Jamie to have the courage to say such things in front of Logan.

Even Logan himself was a little surprised.

On the surface, he just seemed to be scolding his three children, but in fact he was trying to give Jamie a blow and make his tough and unquestionable attitude clear.

Unexpectedly, Jamie is also a tough guy.

"To be honest, I'm starting to appreciate you a little bit, but don't be happy, because it means you won't be able to laugh anymore soon."

Logan's eyes suddenly became sharp, like an angry lion staring at Jamie.

"Five million dollars, I'm sure no company in the entire Hollywood will be willing to offer a higher price than this. At the same time, the promises made to you by Kendall and Roman are still valid."

"Now you just have to answer me, yes or no!"

Yes, this is Logan’s negotiating style.

Make an offer that the other party can't refuse, and then leave no room for bargaining.

Once the other party agrees, he will humiliate them mercilessly.

In fact, Logan didn't particularly care about winning the film and television rights to "Percy Jackson" at first, but Jamie bypassed his two sons and came directly to him for face-to-face negotiations, which angered this overbearing "tyrant".

He decided to give Jamie some color. "No, the copyright of the "Percy Jackson" novel is not for sale to me, so——"

Before Jamie could finish speaking, Logan had his displeasure written directly on his face.

"So you are deliberately trying to trick me and waste everyone's time?"

Jamie responded unceremoniously:

"Mr. Roy, if you keep interrupting others rudely like this, then you are the one who is really wasting time!"

Logan laughed angrily and held his chin with one hand, indicating that Jamie could just say what he wanted to say and he would never interrupt.

Because this is the last patience and opportunity he has left for Jamie.

"Mr. Roy, if you know me well enough, you should know that I am actually not short of money. This is why I regard "Percy Jackson" as not for sale. I will not sell the film and television rights of this novel. , but I’m willing to exchange it for something I’m interested in.”

Logan had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Like?"

"If I remember correctly, Vestar Films owns the rights to several Marvel Comics superheroes, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four—"

Before he finished speaking, Logan shook his head and refused.

X-Men and Fantastic Four are both projects that Weststar Films is clearly preparing to develop into film and television.

Jamie opened his mouth and wanted to exchange the film and television rights of the "Percy Jackson" novel, but Logan thought there was no need to continue the discussion.

"Marcia, I heard that the steak for this wedding dinner is specially provided by Yellowstone Ranch. Now let's go and taste what's so special about it."

Logan said as he stood up from the sofa and walked straight out the door.

Seeing this, Marcia had no choice but to follow quickly.

As soon as he reached the door, Jamie's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Roy, Deadpool or Iron Man, I can accept any one."

Logan paused slightly as he walked out.

His sophisticated business intuition told him that Jamie's real target should be either Deadpool or Iron Man, and definitely not either of them as he said.

You actually played such a trick with him!

Logan sneered and walked away without looking back.

Back at the banquet, Logan called Kendall, Roman and Sif in front of him again, told Jamie's exchange conditions, and clearly told the three children that this was a new test for them.

Choose between Deadpool and Iron Man, which one Jamie really wants.

Everyone must give their own answer and basis for judgment.

Kendall, the oldest, spoke first.

Kendall hesitated for a long time and finally chose Deadpool.

The reason is that Deadpool is more famous, while Iron Man is just a second-tier superhero under Marvel Comics.

Roman immediately objected and stressed that he wasn't trying to go against Kendall this time.

He feels that Jamie's real goal should be Iron Man.

"Don't forget, Deadpool can be linked with the X-Men. It's no secret that Weststar Pictures plans to develop X-Men movies and TV shows. Jamie Dutton knows very well that there is absolutely no way we can bring Deadpool to life. Trade it with him."

"This is a negotiation technique. If you give an impossible choice, then the remaining option, no matter how difficult it is to accept, will become easier to accept in comparison."

Logan looked at Sif without saying a word, and now she was the only one who had not commented.

"I also think what Jamie Dutton really wants is Deadpool, because Serena told me that his boyfriend is a huge Deadpool fan and not only has a huge Deadpool poster hanging in his house, but he also collects almost all of them. Deadpool model figures available on the market.”

Looking at Logan with a gloomy expression, Sif felt unsafe and added another sentence.

"If Serena hadn't lied to me."

Logan quickly made a decision in his mind.

He then asked the three of them if it would be a good deal to trade Deadpool for the film and television rights to "Percy Jackson."

This time the opinions of the three children were very consistent.

Marvel Comics is now in such decline that it has sold most of its superhero characters to major Hollywood film companies, and Jamie's "Percy Jackson" is a rising new IP with unlimited prospects.

No matter from any perspective, this is a very good deal compared to exchange.

The words of the three finally prompted Logan to make up his mind.

"Okay, since Jamie Dutton wants Deadpool so much, let's trade Iron Man for him!"

Kendall, Sif, and Roman were all stunned.

For a moment they even wondered if their father was old and confused.

But then all three of them came to their senses.

Logan was going to "humiliate" Jamie Dutton in this way.

Wouldn't you be able to accept either of them?

Then I will give you the one you least want.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake in judgment.

Iron Man is just a second-tier superhero owned by Marvel. Vestar Pictures originally bought the film and television rights from Universal because it was cheap.

It's just a hoarding of IP, with no plans to turn it into a film or television project.

Logan didn't believe that he and Universal would make a mistake.
