American Fortune Life

Chapter 129: Los Angeles

Andy smiled and watched Carl hang up, picking up the coffee sent in by Secretary Carl for a sip.

“I don't understand. Why did you ask me to buy the editing rights to Twilight City? We can't go to the movies... Wait, Andy, you're not really starting a movie company, are you? ”

Carl kept complaining and was a little stunned when he said it. He asked incredibly.

“Oh, why not? Movies are very profitable, and I do have this plan, but I don't run my own company, I see the peak of entertainment.” Andy smiled in his spare time.

Carl's eyes lit up, but when he thought of the person he'd just been talking to, he had a bitter smile on his face.

“Andy, your thoughts are a little off the hook. Though the peak entertainment starts with the release of films directly into the DVD market and some UMD films from Worldwide, since the three partners in the company were preparing to make the transition films, they've hired Robert Freman, the former executive chairman of Paramount, as CEO. Robert is not an easy person, and if you want to take over the peak, the price won't be too small. ”

Andy shrugged his shoulders, laughing: “I'm not going to pay for the peak, I just want to hold it, who cares before its CEO is strong enough to be a shareholder in peak entertainment. However, it depends on whether you successfully take the copyright of Twilight City. The more insiders you are, the more important it is to understand how important a good IP series is. ”

Carl looked at Andy painfully and said a little bitterly: “But spending 67 million to buy a film and television copyright for a novel is too exaggerated, so that the money on our company's books is almost empty, which is just to maintain normal day-to-day expenses. ”

Andy's pissed off. Carl glanced, "Don't bullshit. This has to be done as soon as possible. Didn't you tell me you had contacted Stephanie Meyer this morning? How's it going? Is she willing to talk to us? ”

“Well, what can I do? This woman is now open for sale, which is naturally welcome for us to join the auction, but she also understands that the current 5 million is already very high, and after I quoted 6 million, she said she would think carefully, it's not possible, so I went to Arizona to meet her.” Carl laughed, knowing that Andy's decision couldn't be changed, and he had to do everything he could to get things done.

“Well, let's go, so that after you sign the contract with Warner, you leave. This can't be delayed. I'm afraid the summit will be a lonely one, they're a bunch of gamblers.” Andy is still a little uncomfortable, avoiding a lot of nightmares, but it's best to get it in his hands as soon as possible.

“I... Well, you're the boss, you're in charge. By the way, have you seen the bulletin board? You're 10 years ahead. Last week, 360,000 copies were sold. The Director of Global Music just called. Congratulations. He said to call you. Your phone has been busy.” Carl put away his tangled emotions and talked about happiness.

“Oh, look, it's quite surprising, I didn't expect a piece of country music to be so popular, I've been calling Ivana all morning, and I'll call him back later, always to thank him.” When it comes to single-CD sales, Andy is still very happy. Especially as a cross-border singer, being in the top ten of billboards is already a remarkable thing.

Andy and Carl chatted and Warner movie people arrived. After meeting in the conference room, they introduced each other, chilled out and sat down and started signing.

The terms of both parties had long been negotiated, so there had been no fluctuations, and Andy and Richard had signed the contracts on behalf of their respective companies after their lawyers had examined them.

In exchange for the contract, signed it, Andy and Richard shake hands to celebrate the success of the cooperation. As for the copyright fee for the 100,000 dollar knife, Andy dumped it on Carl. After all, he did take blood from the copyright company a little harsh.

Sending Warner away, Andy watched as he packed his things in the office, ready to leave for Carl in Arizona, and again ordered: "This time, you have to buy the copyright of the novel, which is really important... ”

“Geez, God, you've said it a dozen times, I know, I must bring it back, negotiating this kind of thing is too urgent, for everyone loves the knife, Stephanie is not a fool, she wants to see the three families raise each other's prices now, I know what to do, don't worry. By the way, are you going back to New York next?” Carl was completely speechless, a little bit unacceptable to Andy's nagging, turning the subject around.

“Well, no rush, I'm going to San Francisco first, the new game of the gaming company is going on the market, I'm going to sit in town myself, after all, that's my ambition. As soon as I'm done with the gaming company, I'm flying straight to New York, and I won't be back until after the November elections.” Andy said something about his itinerary.

“Well, good luck with the big sale of your game, 3: 30 plane, I won't talk to you anymore, or it won't be too late. Let's call, don't worry, I'll definitely buy Twilight City. After all, it's hard for Stephanie to refuse the price we offered. The point now is that we're just a copyright company, not a movie company. She's still a little hesitant about this, and I'll convince her.” Carl packed his things, lifted his briefcase, and said to Andy.

“Well, thank you. Have a safe trip, I'll wait for your call.” Andy took Carl out of the company building and quickly drove out of Andy's sight with Carl's four-man car.

Andy looked at the time and said to Joseph, "Let's go too. Go back and pack up. We're going to San Francisco. ”

Joseph nodded and took out his phone and called Kenny in the villa to get him ready.

Because this time it's flying directly from San Francisco, Andy needs to pack a lot of things, of course, because this time it takes two months to live in New York, and Little Laura the Cat and both Dubins will be brought on. This is the time to cultivate feelings. If we split up for two months, it will inevitably create a little sense of alienation. It would be wise to take it back to New York, and it won't cost much, just three little things to turbulence.

Back home, Andy just picked up a few clothes, checked the study for any omissions, took out a couple of documents from the safe recording things as they just passed by, found the lighter lit up, threw them into a stainless steel basin, watched as those documents that shouldn't have existed quickly turned to ash, and walked into the bathroom and flushed them with water.

The last point of concern also disappeared with the flow of water, everything he had written into his head, and those big incident sheets were worthless to continue, especially as he needed to leave for two months to prevent all accidents, even though his home security standards were already high and the alarm device was directly connected to the LAPD, but the threat to Andy was so great that destruction was the best way.

With an LV travel bag, I said goodbye to Liu Yan in the living room, "Aunt Liu, you can stay here if you want to go back to your daughter's house, I won't be back until November. ”

“I'll stay here, my daughter. I can come back anytime to see them. No one is always wrong at home, don't worry.” Liu Yanxiang smiled mercifully and said, Andy hugging goodbye.

Andy picked up his travel bag, took a little confused Laura into his arms, blew a whistle, quicksilver and a witch roared twice. He jumped out of that corner, ran to Andy, sat down, and looked up at Andy.

“Go, take you to San Francisco.” When you're done, go outside, and the two Dubins follow Andy.

Andy watched the fast silver and the witch jump into the car, squatting honestly in the trunk, and had to smile twice. The two little things happened to sit in the car and put their travel bags aside and said to Kenny, "Let's go. ”

Coming to the airport, Andy put the three little guys in the already bought pet suitcase. Little Laura was a little nervous, and she kept meowing, and Andy had to pacify it again and again. There was no way, it took six hours to drive to San Francisco, and it was already midnight.

Pet consignments are not very troublesome because Andy's pets are fully documented, the only thing is that the three little things are a little uneasy and irritable, the fast silver and the witch arrive better, after all, after a period of training, Little Laura gives Andy a headache because Little Laura is a non-injectable sedative little animal, so she can only be calmed as much as possible.

Because all three of Andy's pets are growing up, they can be considered small animals in size and can be shipped as luggage, so that Andy doesn't have to go to the airport two to three hours in advance to check them out, get on the plane directly with Andy, and pick them up as soon as they get to San Francisco.
