America is in control

Chapter 255 Negotiations are in progress and Pier comes to visit.
After listening to General Liu's words, Xie Yi frowned. He thought to himself that this kid's appetite is really big!
Before he came, he had negotiated with Williams from Warner Bros. Entertainment, and the two companies had cooperated to obtain the overseas distribution rights and sequel production rights of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss."

According to the evaluation of professionals within the two companies, the overseas revenue of this film is extremely considerable and very imaginative.

Coupled with the fact that there is also the sequel production rights to The Hen that Lays Golden Eggs, this offer seems
But who doesn’t want to earn more!
"John, how about $2200 million? This is already the highest price our two companies can offer!"

"You can't be too greedy as a human being."

Shay pretended to be hesitant and raised the price a little higher.

"Yes, John, this price is not low! You have to leave us some room for profit."

Williams also helped.

Liu Jiang was not moved at all, he just watched the performance of the two people in front of him calmly, sneering in his heart.

These Hollywood bastards are all as smart as ghosts!

Also tell yourself not to be too greedy. I think the greediest people are you guys!
I'd better save this kind of nonsense to fool other idiots! Want to fool yourself? no way!

"Mr. Williams, we are talking about a movie that may eventually gross more than $6000 million at the North American box office."

"As far as I know, as long as the movies have performed well at the North American box office in recent years, most of the overseas box office has exceeded the North American box office!"

"There are also offline income and various overseas licensing. These incomes will not be much less than the overseas box office!"

"Not to mention the sequel production rights, which are purely money-making deals. US$5000 million is definitely not that much!"

Liu Jiang waited for the two people in front of him to calm down for a while, and then chatted a lot to provide a theoretical basis for his quotation.

Shay and Williams looked at each other quietly, and both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that the boxing star in front of them had a clear background, which made the two of them unable to accept it for a while.

"Twenty-five million US dollars! John, this is the limit of our two companies!"

Williams looked serious and thought for a long time before making a new offer.

"For US$4500 million, Warner Bros. Entertainment can actually just ask for the overseas distribution rights of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss."

"I don't really want to sell the sequel production rights of the movie. Whether it is an independent production or a joint production, the possibility of losing money is very small!"

"If my boxing career hadn't distracted me too much."

General Liu knew that this price was far from the other party's limit, but in business negotiations, there had to be back and forth.

In order to force the other party to make greater concessions, he tentatively made a suggestion.

"John, the overseas distribution rights alone are not worth so much money. If we want to buy it, we must buy it in one piece!"

Xie Yi frowned and said hurriedly.

"Then show your sincerity! Mr. Shay!"

"I must remind you two that there are several companies from the top seven Hollywood companies that are interested in this movie!"

"The price they gave is much more sincere than you guys!"

Liu Jiang sat up straight, stared at the two of them with piercing eyes, and began to become more intense.

"John, Shay is right about what he said, we only consider buying in packages!"

"But as for the price, we can definitely discuss it!"

Williams suppressed his discomfort and relaxed the atmosphere at the scene. Next, the three of them began to argue one round after another. The quotations from both sides slowly and difficultly approached each other, like two hedgehogs hugging each other for warmth.

The negotiations between the two parties ultimately failed to reach an agreement, but New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Entertainment did not give up.

Shea and Williams remain in communication with Liu.

Of course there was no way Liu would hang himself from a tree. Over the next few days, he made contact with representatives from Sony, Columbia and Universal Pictures.

The rules are still the same, the one with the highest price gets it!

During this period, AuctionWeb's Pier and Jeff Skoll finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to call Liu Jiang to seek financial support.

Due to the popularity of "Looking for a Midnight Kiss", the number of users visiting the AuctionWeb website began to surge, which also caused the company's servers and network to be overwhelmed.

Pier and Jeff Skoll spent heavily on servers and network upgrades, causing the funds in the company's accounts to fall below warning levels.

Seeing that the company was about to fall into an unsustainable situation, the two had no choice but to approach the major shareholder Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he immediately commissioned a professional valuation agency to value AuctionWeb.

At the same time, he also asked Chris about the current real situation of AuctionWeb and how much funding it would need to continue its healthy and rapid development.

After finding out the details of the company, General Liu ordered Chris and Pier to start negotiations to find the best solution.

He is not prepared to let Jeff Skoll continue to sit down as CEO of AuctionWeb.

This position is too critical and has seriously affected Liu's control of the entire company.

He asked Harvey to help him contact several headhunting companies to find a suitable CEO candidate.

Bob, who has been paying attention to General Liu's movements, couldn't sit still after learning that several companies from the Seven Big Hollywood companies were offering sky-high prices to compete for the overseas distribution rights and sequel production rights of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss."

If the other party can make a lot of money in Hollywood, gain both fame and fortune!
So how much energy will this shining cash cow allocate to the boxing career?
Bob didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he immediately accelerated negotiations with the boxing promoter of IBF middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins.

After making certain concessions, the two sides quickly reached a consensus.

While Bob asked Brandon to speed up the progress, he called General Liu.

"Hello, Boss, what do you want from me?"

Liu Jiang was processing documents in the office of New Caesars Entertainment when he suddenly received a call from Bob.

Did this old fox suddenly call me to cause trouble?
He cursed secretly, pressed the answer button, and said calmly.

"John, congratulations! The movie is a box office hit!"

"I also have good news. I'm almost in talks with Bernard Hopkins' boxing promoter."

"The boxing championship unification fight is about to be finalized. Do you have any requirements?"

Bob's gentle voice came out from the phone receiver, and there was even a little bit of flattery in his words.

"Uh! Boss, I've been very busy recently! "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" hasn't been released yet, and a company I invested in is not doing well lately!"

General Liu showed his posture and deliberately picked on the opponent.

This old fox has been causing trouble for himself during this period. It is impossible to say that he is not angry!
　That’s all for today! Looking up boxer information makes me dizzy.
