I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 148

As soon as he met Williams, Li Zhenyu knew that this acquisition would pay off.

The opponent's attitude of 'I can't wait to leave the field and I don't want to bother to take care of this mess' is too obvious.

The influence of Twitter has not yet been demonstrated, and the team has never been able to find a profit point.

Free and open rules are destined to lead to various disputes and troubles in its growth.

Williams had had enough of these pressures. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. He went to the bar to have a good drink and invite like-minded girls to have a haircut.

Compared with the potential of Twitter, he hopes to live like a human being.

Everyone's pursuit is different, and the choices they make are naturally different.

Besides, he couldn't find a way out of Twitter.

How to make a profit? ! ! !
This stumps everyone. If the problem of profitability can be solved, Twitter’s valuation will at least double its current value.

He's also not going to accept the other party's $3.2 million offer here, and is really considering whether to agree.

Williams clenched his fists in humiliation, but had to compromise with reality.

"Not enough, 4 million is my reserve price...I need to be responsible for other founders and investors."

"$3.2 million, each of you can be a billionaire, isn't that responsible enough?"

"Twitter deserves more..." Li Zhenyu tilted his head and leaned back, signaling that it was time for Claire.

On the other hand, I carefully observed Williams' expressions and behaviors, reading and writing his true inner thoughts.

keen insight,

It can make Li Zhenyu easily read and write out his facial changes, and then infer his true inner thoughts.

This was the first time he used this ability with full concentration, and the effect was extremely remarkable.

Through observation, Li Zhenyu judged that the price in his heart was around 3.5 million, because when Claire proposed this price, his performance was the largest.

The corners of the eyes tightened, the corners of the mouth sank, and the eyes flickered erratically.

'Got you. '

Confirming that his observation was correct, Li Zhenyu stood up suddenly: "3.5 million, William, this is my last sincerity. If you and your team can't accept it, I can only say it's a pity."

……

The moment he left with the contract, Li Zhenyu dialed Lu Rong's number: "Dear Lu, I think you should hurry up."

Lu Rong needs a month to hand over the business and resign from Goldman Sachs, but now Li Zhenyu doesn't have so much time for her.

The handover of Twitter can be handled by Carlisle, but the subsequent business needs the cooperation of Lu Rong.

Li Zhenyu will put his own ideas on paper, and Lu Rong's duty is to let the company follow the route he designed and unswervingly follow.

"Three weeks, give me three weeks."

"Okay, just three weeks."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhenyu looked at Claire who pretended not to care.

That deceitful demeanor is really cute...

"Claire."

"Hey boss, is there anything I can do?"

Claire asked the question knowingly, but her heart was full of expectations.

"Congratulations, the business of Universal Investment is now yours."

The annual agency fee is 500 million US dollars, which is only a small difference from the giants.

Claire won the largest agency contract in recent years.

"Boss, can I sign the contract now? I brought it."

Seeing the contract she eagerly took out from her bag, Li Zhenyu really had the urge to poach someone for a while.

Such a dedicated employee is worth it even if they are given shares!

They found a random coffee shop, and the two signed the contract face to face. Then Claire said that she needed to call the law firm and tell her colleagues about it.

Leaving Li Zhenyu alone, bored left and right, he raised his hand and asked for a cup of coffee to pass the time.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the bearded man sitting in the corner at the front left.

Sparse white hair, a bushy beard, a thick nose like a flat strawberry, and a bloated figure forced him to push the table a few centimeters out.

A person sat there quietly with a notebook in front of him.

He rested his head on the palm holding the pencil, with a slightly sad look on his brows.

"Martin?" Li Zhenyu was a little uncertain.

This man certainly looked like Master Martin, but why was he here?

Holding the coffee, Li Zhenyu walked towards the other party, "Excuse me, are you George Martin?"

White Beard raised his head and glanced at him, his sad face disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter, my friend."

"Oh, it's really an honor." Li Zhenyu pointed to the place beside him: "Can I sit down?"

"of course."

Martin was very kind and pulled the table towards his arms to make room for him.

Li Zhenyu sat down sideways, and put a pair of long legs in the aisle: "I really didn't expect to meet you here, I am a loyal fan of Quan You."

"Quan You, that's the story of the first season, my friend, you shouldn't miss the story behind."

The first season of A Song of Ice and Fire series was called "Game of Thrones". At this time, it had not yet been transformed into a TV series, and Martin thought he only loved the stories of the first season.

"No no, sorry, I like calling it Game of Thrones, it sounds more appealing."

Martin laughed loudly after being praised by fans: "That's right, the power struggle is like a fierce game, what a desirable name."

"Boy, did you bring the book, I can sign it."

Martin offered to sign his book.

Li Zhenyu shook his head helplessly, and said in frustration, "Unfortunately, I left it at home."

"Oh, that's really bad." Martin thought for a while, and said, "If it's not far away, I'd like to wait for you here."

"I hope so too, but it's on the other side of the ocean."

This time, Martin could only helplessly spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

Li Zhenyu also restrained his expression, and asked about the topic he was most concerned about.

"When will it be put on the screen."

"Unfortunately, I can't guarantee this. Everything is under negotiation...but I don't think it will be too long before it comes out."

???

The copyright of Quanyou has not been negotiated yet, and HBO failed to give Martin a satisfactory price?

Hahaha... Xiba, this is great.

"Martin, in fact, I am also a filmmaker. This time I brought my film to talk about cooperation. It will be released, and you will see it soon, "Parasite"..."

Knowing that he is a producer + director, Martin's attitude was a little colder.

Li Zhenyu could see his vigilance and displeasure. It seemed that he thought that he was deliberately using his status as a fan to get closer to him, and all his previous performances were fake.

"Martin, I didn't come here just to meet you. Believe it or not, I've actually just negotiated an acquisition and signed a legal representation contract with my lawyer here...

I also didn't expect to meet you here.Because you're supposed to be in New Mexico, and if I want to make a chance encounter, where's the right place to look for it. "

Martin froze for a moment, realizing that he was right.

I was stuck in a bottleneck because of my creation, so I came out to relax on a whim, and came to San Francisco by chance.

This cafe was also accidentally seen when I was tired from walking, and I came in on a whim.

If such random choices can also 'create' encounters, then he must be more sincere than everyone he has ever met.

Letting go of his guard, Martin became kind and talkative again, talking to him about the difficulties he encountered during his creation.

There is no clear story or character, just a general description under the big framework.

But Li Zhenyu still accurately guessed through his description that his creation was stuck in the fifth volume, The Dance of the Demon Dragon.

After the release of the fourth volume of "A Feast for Crows", it went straight to the top of the "New York Times" bestseller list, and "Time Magazine" even called him "the Tolkien of the bad country."

But in fact, fans of the book did not rate Volume [-] very highly.

What should have been one volume was split into two volumes, leaving many of the most popular characters behind after the gripping finale of volume three.

The content of the entire fourth volume is very empty, lacking important elements that make the blood spurt.

This makes Martin feel very stressed. At the same time, the invitations of producers from all over the world often disrupt his thinking and creation, making him uneasy.

Money touches people's hearts, and Martin is just an ordinary person, how could he refuse the temptation of money.

But he did not want the tragedy of "Nightcrawler" to be staged again, and insisted on waiting for the most appropriate time before handing over the copyright.

Moreover, this time he will personally participate in it, including the change of the script and the entire shooting plan.

……

PS: Don't think about the bold name, hahaha!
