America’s Big Hero

Chapter 331 No Money Again?

It was as if the phrase "you were beaten by a monkey" kept lingering in Sean's ears, making Sean so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Of course, that's talking.

For a serious business negotiation, Sean will not really start, he is not the kind of person with a small belly.

"Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean!" Bill Sarnoff suddenly jumped up from the chair, panicked on his face, sweating, and the chair was brought upside down with a bang.

"You, you, put the plate down!!"

"Ah!?" Sean looked down at the plate in his hand, and then at the panicked Bill Sarnoff, "Hey, why did this thing get into my hand!"

Bill Sarnoff laughed dryly, are you asking me that?

"I said that the plate ran into my hand by itself, do you believe it?" Sean took a look at the tray under the coffee cup, and then asked with a serious face.

"I believe, I believe, let's put it down first." Bill Sarnoff nodded quickly, now what are you talking about.

"Then sell me the DC, don't mess with me!"

"This won't work!" Bill Sarnoff shook his head like a rattle, "Mr. Sean, listen to me, under normal circumstances, in the entire Hollywood, the big productions are really multi-collaborative."

"No one is 100% sure about making money, right? It is very important to share risks. This is necessary to ensure the smooth development of the company. This time, a failed investment will not cause the company to go bankrupt directly."

"It's like Once Upon a Time in America!"

"But my movie has never lost money!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"That's the problem!" Bill Sarnoff spread his hands helplessly, "Warner also believes that your vision is unparalleled. You have produced the most successful films in Hollywood in recent years. Therefore, the board of directors believes that DC Once your IP is in your hands, it will definitely be carried forward, and you will be able to shoot a big production that shocks the world."

"Success is in sight, and everyone on the board of directors thinks this is a great opportunity!"

"A gold mine is right in front of you, and you can get a lot of gold when you walk in. Who wouldn't be tempted?"

Sean: "..."

Is this flattery or flattery or flattery?

Co-authoring Lao Tzu is too successful has become the problem!

Seeing that Sean was a little moved, Bill Sarnoff immediately raised his stake again, "If it were you, Mr. Sean, would you give up such a cooperation opportunity?"

Sean almost blurted out on the spot, "No"!

"I don't like working with people!"

"We have IP, and Mr. Xiao En has an idea. It's a matter of mutual benefit, isn't it?"

"It's like I'm cutting flesh!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"Our two sides co-produced, almost no need for publicity, this matter can be popular in the United States!" Bill Sarnoff eloquently said, "This is a treasure house, if it is in the hands of Warner, you can't let us just throw away the key, right? !"

"I don't really care if it's money or not." Sean put down the coffee tray in his hand.

Bill Sarnoff glanced at it, finally relaxed his body, bent over to lift up the stool and sat back.

When the plate was put down, it was like the valve in Xiao En's heart was opened. He knew that the matter was basically done, and his whole face was full of smiles!

"For a movie or something, it takes a year and a half, sometimes more, from filming to release to getting paid back, and it still doesn't make much money!" Sean said hesitantly and depressed.

Bill Sarnoff suddenly raised his head and stared at Sean, his smile froze on his face, and the flesh on his face trembled, how the hell did you say that.

You earned at least 400 million yuan from a few movies, and that’s not counting the follow-up copyright development, TV operation, video tape income, and IP value.

Sean could tell what Bill Sarnoff was thinking at a glance, the corners of his mouth were curled up, his head was raised, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked at Bill through his nostrils, "Why, isn't it?"

"I have earned billions of dollars over the past three years. Is this a lot of income from movies?"

Bill Sarnoff: "…"

Shocked, depressed, envious, jealous, angry... all kinds of expressions kept changing, and he was completely stunned.

With trembling hands, he moved towards his coffee cup a little bit.

If it weren't for fear of death, I'd splash a cup of coffee on your face!

After a while, Bill Sarnoff finally recovered, smiled again and said, "Since Mr. Sean doesn't care about earning more or less, wouldn't it be a good idea for everyone to hold shares together?"

"Don't even think about it!" Sean snorted, "It's not a matter of money or not, I just hate people pointing fingers at me and pushing me."

"Of course, I'm also thinking about your safety!" Sean glanced coldly at the past, "Flying dogs, fighting for power, I messed up things, I sent them to the Antarctic to feed penguins!!"

"At that time, I will say that Sean is evil, and the hat will be put on my head, as if I, Sean, are some kind of bad guy."

The corners of Bill Sarnoff's mouth kept twitching. Let's talk about cooperation. Can we not talk about such a scary thing?

But think about Sean's style, those faraway Malays, not to mention Asan and his like, are in Hollywood, just in Los Angeles, because there are hundreds of people who died at the order of Sean.

Can't help Bill Sarnoff not paying attention.

Others may be intimidating when they say this, but the person in front of him is stating the facts.

"Then tell me, how can you be satisfied with a cooperation method." Bill Sanov's tone was subconsciously respectful again.

It's not fear, it's the simplest way to follow from the heart.

"When did I say I agreed to cooperate!" Sean expressed contempt for the other party's behavior of climbing along the slope.

Bill Sarnoff smiled and said nothing.

"I film, well, I just like art and communication, and I also want to satisfy the vanity of those women." Sean coughed dryly.

"I understand, I understand, we Warner, whether in music or film, there are many, many little girls who adore Mr. Sean." Bill Sarnoff specially emphasized the little girl, Sean likes Hollywood people Everyone knows.

Sean didn't seem to hear it, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, man, who hasn't got any hobbies, you love me.

After pondering for a while, Sean made a condition, "Well, you are just trying to make money, so you can add an investment priority for DC-related IP works in the contract. After all, it is impossible for you to be optimistic about all works, so as not to conflict with your views at that time. , everyone is unhappy, so it is better to be more flexible in the way of cooperation."

"However, the investment can't exceed 30%, and you can't interfere with the shooting." Sean looked at Bill Sarnoff, "It's okay to give opinions, I will choose to accept it or not, but, I hate other people's chattering, I understand. "

"Understood, understood." Bill Sarnoff nodded, he was satisfied with the 30% investment, too high and too risky.

What Warner took a fancy to here was Sean's vision and production ability, and it was because of this that they tried their best to get involved.

For the rights in the crew, Warner is not fancy, they just want to make money!

Of course, this is what the board of directors think, and what the people below think is another matter.

Within a framework, Bill Sarnoff has the right to negotiate. Of course, this is also due to Sean's behavior style. The board of directors had to delegate power to Bill Sarnoff to speed up the progress of the negotiations.

Sean only gave it three days.

The price was finally set at 2.2, and Sean didn't want to be called a fool.

As for the details of the contract, that is a matter for the legal teams of both parties. If Sean agrees, everything will be OK.

The acquisition proceeded extremely quickly, and three days later, the two parties collectively announced the transfer of DC Comics from Warner to Sean Pictures.

I didn't get any news from the outside world beforehand, including the inside of DC comics...

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately shocked the entire United States!

Although DC, or the comic circle is in decline, it is not as good as before, but how many people in the United States have not read Marvel or DC comics?

Superman, Batman, Catwoman, these characters are familiar to everyone.

The sudden transfer of the company caused a sensation all over the United States.

Bill Sarnoff is right, the cooperation between the two parties does not require any external publicity to become popular.

"There are some difficulties in the operation of DC." Bill Sarnoff said at the press conference, "but this is not the fundamental reason for this transaction."

"Mr. Sean said that he is a fan of DC comics, in order to fulfill a childhood dream."

"Is there anything greater than a dream?"

"No!"

"Many people know that Mr. Xiao En is a super rich man, famous and owns the world's largest private military company, but more people don't know that Mr. Xiao En is also an artist!"

"Yes, everyone, you heard me right. Mr. Sean is an artist, a great artist. He has an extraordinary understanding and appreciation of movies."

""The Great Heist", "Die Hard", "Instinct", "Three Dads and a Baby" and so on, in just a few years, Mr. Xiao En wrote the script and acted as the producer of several films that caused a sensation in Hollywood. , the whole of North America, the whole world."

"His vision is unparalleled, his sense of smell is extremely keen, and we all believe that DC Comics will be reborn under Mr. Sean's gaze."

"Mr. Sean will definitely bring the most perfect hero to comic fans all over the world!"

"Leading the entire DC, all the superheroes shine in the world again!"

Watching Bill Sarnoff dancing and talking on TV, Sean pointed to the TV with satisfaction and said, "This guy is good in everything, in business, at the negotiating table, and in character, he is very good." , the only shortcoming is that she loves to tell the truth, too sincere, too real, this, is not good!"

Shen Bi squinted at Xiao En, "Oh, bah!"

"Why are you so disgusting, stinky, don't you want to see others being praised?" Sean glared at old man Shen Bi.

"Art, put it on you, ha, the art of killing people? God laughs at it!" Shen Bi looked contemptuous.

"Explosion is the most splendid and colorful artistic moment!"

Shen Bi: "..."

Don't say it, these words really sound so flavorful.

Well, this will be mine from now on!

Xiao En squinted at Shen Bi, and the old man rarely refuted, but in this state, why did he seem to have no ill intentions?

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Shen Bi changed the subject, stared into Xiao En's eyes and said, "You, you're out of money!"

Sean was confused for a while, as if he didn't hear clearly, he blinked his confused eyes, and said word by word: "You, say, what?!"

"You, no, money!" Shen Bi said loudly, word by word, watching Xiao En's expression change from bewildered to angry, and then from unbelievable to hysterical, it was very fun.

"That's impossible!" Sean jumped up from the sofa, stared at Shen Bi, waved his arms and said loudly, "I, Sean, have no money?"

"I just fucking made 3.1 billion!"

"That's dollars!"

"Even if it burns, it can't burn so fast!"

Shen Bi tilted his head and looked at Xiao En obliquely, with a playful expression on his face, "And then?"

"No..." Sean's face collapsed, "I, am I really out of money?"

Shen Bi's face was full of smiles, and he nodded heavily.

"Fuck, this doesn't make sense!" Sean held his head and rubbed his hair frantically.

"All the stocks of your punishment company are mortgaged to the bank, and the fitness group is also mortgaged. Oh, yes, there is also part of the equity of New Century. Originally, I wanted to mortgage the garbage disposal company, but the bank doesn't want garbage." Shen Bi said with a face. I can't suppress the smile on my face, the summary is, gloat!

"Congratulations, your debt ratio is now as high as 100% again!"

"I, fuck!" Sean gritted his teeth, "How could that be?!"

"Why not!" Shen Bi sneered, "You got back a total of 1 billion, buddy, and before that, you gave 1.5 billion to the military. Not only did you fail to improve the company's environment, you also owed 500 million !"

"After that, when you go to Canada, you get a big hand and throw out 570 million."

"Back in Los Angeles, skyscrapers and stadiums are throwing another $700 million."

"Now another 220 million is thrown out!"

"Good guy, I spent 1.99 billion in just two months." As he spoke, Shen Bi clapped his hands, "Young man, admire, admire!"

"If the news spreads now, the stock market will inevitably change, and the stock price will plummet in response. Then, your disciplinary company will become someone else's."

"No, the 700 million yuan for building the building hasn't been spent yet!" Sean asked quickly.

"That's right, it's because the bidding is still going on and it's not yet time to pay for the project, so you haven't been exposed!" Shen Bi said it as a matter of course, "You don't think that you can borrow as much as the stock is worth, do you? "

"You don't think that a fitness group with a value of 1 billion can get a loan of 1 billion, do you?"

"Is it so naive?"

"Oh, by the way, the political situation in Guajira has gradually stabilized, and the construction is about to start. It's all money."

"You only have 2 months, remember, within 2 months, let the rest of the money arrive in the account, otherwise, boy, you will be miserable." Shen Bi stood up, reached out and patted Sean on the shoulder and strode away out.

Xiao En stood there in a daze, holding back two words for a long time, "Your mother!"

The glorious days of spending money freely were just yesterday, but today, everything has changed, and Sean can't accept it.

The mood was so bad that even Halle Berry's hot body couldn't get Sean excited.

Shen Bi was in a good mood, very good, very good!

It's been a long time since Xiao En was poor and unhappy, and he has been holding back. Watching you rise from a tall building, watching you entertain guests, and then suddenly withdrawing the ladder, watching you suddenly fall from a height, what a cool word!

In the past, old man Shen Bi really didn't have such bad tastes.

I don't know I learned it from that bastard!

Walking out of the gate of Xiao En's villa, Shen Bi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, ha! ha! ha!

...

It dragged on until 7:00 p.m. in Los Angeles, and after 9:00 a.m. in Yanjing. Sean immediately called, "Mr. Li."

After chatting for a few words, Sean got to the point, "How is the batch of Sand T?"

"It will take a while, isn't it too early for the agreed delivery date?"

"Ah, it's still early, but I don't think it's necessary to produce new ones," Sean said.

"How can it be!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, it's actually very good that it has already been deployed in the army. After a period of running-in tests, it has been proved that it is safe and stable." Sean started talking nonsense, he just wanted to finish it quickly Orders take money.

Mr. Li didn't believe these nonsense, he just laughed.

"Look, to put it bluntly, Sand T took this batch of DDs to scare people, and it's impossible to ejaculate unless it's absolutely necessary."

"The surrounding area of ​​Sha Ting is just some small countries and clowns, and because of this batch of DDs, those guys don't dare to attack Sha Ting's idea, so the important thing is not whether DDs are new or old." Xiao The more En said, the smoother he became, he believed it himself, "The most important thing is an attitude!"

"I, Sha T, the artifact of the country, you have not bowed your head!"

"What Sand T cares about is that these DDs appeared in that desert majesticly, which represents the support of the United States and the East, and this is what they care most about."

"Attitude, attitude!"

Mr. Li just smiled and said nothing, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "If the buyer doesn't mind, we don't care."

"With your words, I feel relieved!" Sean laughed loudly.

On Sha T's side, Sean is sure to convince them, the reason is not random!

...

Early the next morning, Sean ate breakfast listlessly, read the newspaper, and suddenly had a hand.

Putting down the crystal shrimp dumpling he just picked up, he solemnly picked up the newspaper, a line of words on it firmly attracted his attention.

Mr. Shen Bi said in an interview: "Art is an explosion, and an explosion is art. The splendor and splendor of that moment is the best interpretation of art!"

Sean's face changed, his eyes opened angrily, and he slammed the newspaper on the table, "Despicable, shameless, shameless, you pirate dog!"

Everyone in the room looked at the suddenly furious Xiao En inexplicably. It was very strange, what could make their boss so angry?

Last year, the female prime minister criticized publicly and never saw the boss so angry!

"Damn it, when Shen Bi's pirated dog comes next time, you must put something in his cup!" Xiao En scolded through gritted teeth.

Angry is angry, but I didn't delay my meal, and I ate an extra bowl.

When the time was almost up, Sean made a phone call to King Fahd.

"The US midterm elections are about to start, you know that."

"Although I have managed the president, the military, and the IRS here, the domestic side is still a bit troublesome. The Donkey Party can do anything for the midterm elections."

"The YL gate has been exposed by them. Now I'm afraid that they will start to obstruct it after they know about it, or make a fuss about it."

"You ask me what I mean. What I mean is to get things done before the mid-term elections. Whatever they do, it's a trouble for the party and the president. It has nothing to do with us!"

"Of course, you must agree to this matter. I contacted the east side before. There are only 13 newly built ones. The construction speed must not keep up. But, what I mean is to use the DDs they have already installed to make up for it."

"Quality problem? Ha, I actually think that the quality of our own products is better. After all, Dongfang is used to carry dirty warheads, so don't be careless."

"Yes, yes, there is no way to compare military products with civilian products. It is common for things that are more than ten years old to be taken out and still look like new ones. To put it bluntly, it is not a thing at all."

"It needs to be repaired and maintained many times every year. If there is a problem, just replace it with a new one. In this case, it is not the DD itself that is expensive, it is only tens of millions. You earned it!"

"A wise choice, I will communicate with the other side, and I will be responsible for the escort during delivery, don't worry!"

After a flick, King Fahd finally agreed to use the products listed in the east.

But Xiao En didn't fool anyone with his words, the quality of these military products is indeed good.

For example, on many circuit boards of military products, the connecting wires are made of gold, and some printed circuits are made of pure gold. The purpose is to resist corrosion, heat dissipation well, and consume less power.

It is really taken out decades later and still used.

(PS: Popular science, the row of yellow gold fingers on the memory stick are real gold fingers, gold, plated.)

Sean communicated with Dong Bian again, and Dong Bian agreed.

Theoretically, they were sold to Sean, not Sha T. The two sides have not established diplomatic relations, and they are not responsible. Now the East is only focused on making money.

After getting this done, Sean felt a little more at ease.

That old guy Shen Bi really scared him before, and he has become a villain again...

...

After changing the owner again, DC was very turbulent, and many people lost their spirits.

Everyone knows that the future of comics is sluggish.

As for what Bill Sarnoff said in the interview, they don't believe a word, it's a dream come true.

Really come true, that Mr. Sean didn't show his face after buying DC!

Of course, it's not that Sean doesn't care about DC, it's just that he has no time for being made a fuss by Shen Bi.

This is a toy!

In the hearts of everyone in DC, they finally waited for the call of the big boss Sean after a few days.

"Nice to meet you, Bunian Rupert." Sean greeted a man in his fifties with a smile.

After shaking hands, Bunian Rupert quickly looked at this legendary man who had only seen it on TV, tall, handsome, and sunny.

I secretly sighed in my heart, who would have thought that there was a devil hidden under this gentle face.

That is to say, Xiao En doesn't know what he thinks, he is alive...

After exchanging a few unnutritious words, Sean cut straight to the point, "I've never read DC's comics, and of course, I haven't read Marvel's either!"
