Chapter 7: Finally reached a contract
9 o'clock in the morning.
Hedham Street (the downtown area of Los Angeles).
Zhuke drove the car and, under the guidance of James, drove on the street where the low-income residents lived. Well, Zhuke drives a car. Of course, according to his personality, it is definitely not a good car, but an old-fashioned Ford used car for only $3,000.
"Damn James, why haven't you been there yet? Didn't you say that the distance is very close?" Zhuke complained.
"Hey, hey, I said, buddy, it's not the distance, but your car is too broken, you don't even have air conditioning, and the weather is sultry, which makes you feel irritable, which makes you feel that the distance is very long." James spread his hands.
Hearing the words, Zhu Ke didn't look embarrassed.
Quite calmly.
It’s right to save money.
This is a hard and simple life style!
"shut up!"
"If the Condy you found for me is unreliable, or charges more than two thousand dollars, I will definitely deduct your future salary, 500 dollars a month, um, also deduct bonus."
Zuke is not generous, so I can negotiate terms when I take the opportunity.
Yes, at the invitation of Zhu Ke, James agreed to become an employee of the new movie peripheral chain store soon.
"Oh no, man, don't deduct money, promise me. I will take care of you tonight, dear." James quickly pretended to be obsequious.
Dear?
almost didn't disgust Zhuke!
James agreed to work for Zhuke, and Zhuke was not surprised at all.
James Sean, 24 years old this year, is still a black man. He was expelled from school before he finished high school. Even though he was a little clever, he didn’t want to find a good job in the United States.
What's more, James' father died early, and there is a paralyzed mother and a 9-year-old sister to raise. This is why he was expelled from school because of frequent absenteeism in order to make money. He also sold marijuana at school.
You said that Zhu Ke offered him a job with a good salary. Can he refuse?
This is also Zhu Ke's kindness!
Not long.
Zhuke and James finally found the residence of the former ace negotiator Condy.
A two-story building of 150 square meters that exudes the smell of rotten, alcohol, beer bottles and garbage on the floor.
Smell this, it's a single dog, almost vomiting.
This mixed smell is like a big dung sealed for 3 months, reappearing in the world.
is simply indescribable!
"Hi, James, my dear friend, I think you must have introduced me the business again, right? This handsome gentleman is not? Don't stand, please sit down, please sit down."
A middle-aged white man with a shaggy face, a wiping beard, and a greasy pajamas. While greeting him warmly, he quickly swept the beer hall and nutshell garbage on the sofa to the ground.
"Nima, is it true that a real person does not show his face?" Zhu Ke thought.
Zhuke looked at the sofa after the husk was swept away, and the traces of vomit were clearly seen on it. He really couldn't do it anymore!
"You don't have to sit down. If you are tired from driving, let's talk about what we are looking for you first." Zhu Ke said in a hurry.
James also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my boss matters."
Then, Zhuke and James explained the surrounding authorization of "Toy Story" and the negotiation expert Max Lee, including the difficulties and requirements of the negotiation.
"Uh..., that's it? Don't worry, I can handle a very small case in three days and satisfy you."
When it comes to professional matters, Kandy appears very confident.
Hearing the words, Zhu Ke said dubiously: "Are you sure you can do it in three days?"
"Of course, I, Condy Edward, is an expert in trump card negotiation. He is not worthy of Max Lee. He didn't deserve to carry me shoes before. For three days, I actually don't think too much." Condy said casually.
Three days?
is too much?
Ha ha, are you afraid that you don’t know who Zhu Ke is? !
James has also learned about Zucker’s changes in the past few days, and he could not help but show Condy a look of ‘you ask for more blessings’.
"Well, I will give you two days. As long as you can handle it, I will give you 1,500 dollars."
Zhuke said immediately, behaving very generously.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Condy's beer was spit out immediately. He couldn't help being surprised. It was really that he had never seen someone as shameless as Zhuke. Man, I said three days, just to show my professionalism, you don’t have to go along the way. This makes me very shameless, you know?
"This, this, two days is not bad, but... you have to add money!"
Kandy was embarrassed at first, and then he showed some decisiveness, which made Zhuke a little surprised.
Hearing this, Zhu Ke said broadly: "Add money, yes, no problem. I'll add five hundred dollars to you!"
Puff puff!
Kandy looked at Zhu Ke with a "I am generous" face, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Shameless!
I have never seen such a stingy person!
After talking for a long time, I added five hundred dollars.
I must reject you, but... if I have a job, I must reject you.
I will not pick up your order next time!
Don't say it's Condy, even James on the side was also frightened by Zhuke's shamelessness. Seeing other people's business is not going well, you really want to keep the price down as much as possible!
...
Three days later.
Pixar Animation Studios.
Zhuke finally met Jobs, because today is the day to sign the contract and he needs to be signed by the big boss.
"Mr. Wald, you are too...too surprising to me, where did you find such a master negotiator?"
Steve Jobs shook hands with Zhuke. He wanted to say that you were too shameless, but he didn't say what he said.
too shameless? !
John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and other Pixar people nodded quickly.
"These three people are too shameless."
"Well, by the way, his name is Condy, his voice is so loud, like a savage."
"More than a savage?"
"Did you not see him at the negotiating table and almost made hands with Max Lee?"
"And that James Sean, who always smiles and doesn't talk nonsense, but can always come up with a lot of data, it's almost murderous, smiley!"
"Zuke is the shameless one, Zhuke Wald."
"Yes, he didn't say anything else, just said that there is not so much money, not so much money, not so much money."
"After two days, I have chanted hundreds of times, and I am going to be stunned by chanting."
Pixar animation people, the reaction is bad.
Actually, these are nothing. The worst thing is Max Lee, the negotiator of Dabel Company. He faced Condy and he was about to shut himself down.
"Damn, damn, he is a wild man, and I will never see him again."
The contract is finally signed.
The general content of is as follows:
Zuke did not win the license for the "Toy Story" movie in six states, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also won four states in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.
2. The authorization fee is 800,000 US dollars, which is paid in one lump sum, and the authorization time is up to 12 years.
3. The follow-up series of "Toy Story", including Pixar Animation Studios in the next five years, will authorize the priority cooperation rights of all animation films created by the surrounding area.
That's right, including all its 3D animation films in the next five years.
This is Zhu Ke's favorite.
"Toy Story", "Insect Crisis", "Monster Electric Company", "Cars" and other peripheral authorizations are enough to ensure that Zhu Ke's store will make money in the future.
"Hahaha, US$800,000 is really a profit. Don't say that after 2000, "Toy Story" was released a few months later. With its hot trend, US$800,000 is just like a fart."
Zuke is so happy.
It can be expected that everyone at Pixar will regret in the future.
In a few months, it is estimated that the peripheral authorization fee in Los Angeles alone can exceed half a million US dollars, and the entire California, properly more than 1.2 million US dollars.
a few days later.
Zuke started hiring while thinking about writing a few scripts.
"Fatal Turn", "Saw Cry", and "Blair the Witch" are all low-cost and high box office, Zhuke chose to have a headache.
On this day, during the recruitment process, Zhu Ke met an unexpected interviewer, her name is Charlize Theron.
"" Remarks: Actually, the peripheral copyright of "Toy Story" belongs to Disney. When the author started to check the information, he didn't pay too much attention to it. In the end, he didn't have time to modify it. Please forgive me.
