9 am.
Hudamur street.
Zucker drove, guided by James, down the street where the lower income people lived. Well, Zhuke drives a car. Of course, according to his personality, it's definitely not a good car. It's an old-fashioned used Ford car that cost only $3000.
"Damn James, why haven't you arrived yet? Don't you say it's very close? " Zucker complained.
"Hey, man, it's not that you're far away. It's that 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 you have a long way to go." James showed up.
Hearing the speech, Zhuke did not look embarrassed.
Quite calm.
Saving money is right.
This is the style of hard work and plain living!
"Shut up
"If the candy you find for me is unreliable, or if the charge exceeds $2000, I will deduct your future salary, five hundred dollars a month, and, um, the bonus."
Zucker is not generous, so he takes the opportunity to talk about terms.
Yes, at the invitation of Zucker, James immediately agreed to become an employee of the upcoming movie peripheral chain.
"Oh no, man, don't deduct money, promise me. I'll certainly serve you well tonight, my dear James quickly pretended to be coquettish.
dear?
It almost made Zucker sick!
James promised to work for Zhuke. Zhuke was not surprised.
James Sean, 24 years old, is still a black man. He was expelled from high school before he finished high school. Even if he is a little smart, he can never find a good job in America;
What's more, James's father died early, his mother was paralyzed in bed, and his 9-year-old sister had to support him. This is also the reason why he was expelled from school because he often missed school in order to make money and sold marijuana at school.
You said that Zhuke offered him a well paid job, could he refuse?
This is also a good intention of Zhuke!
Not long.
Zhuke and James finally found the residence of former ace negotiator Kangdi.
A 150 square meter two-story building smelling of decay, alcohol, beer bottles and garbage.
Smell this, Rao is a single dog, almost vomit.
This mixed smell is like the feces that have been sealed for three months, reappearing in the world.
It's indescribable!
"Hi, James, my dear friend, I think you must be introducing business to me again, isn't that the handsome gentleman? Don't stand. Please sit down. Please sit down
A middle-aged white man with unkempt face, scratched beard and greasy pajamas quickly swept the beer shop and fruit shell garbage on the sofa to the ground while warmly greeting him.
"NIMA, is it a real person who doesn't show his face?" Zhuke thought.
Zhuke looked at the sofa after the shell had been swept off. He could see the trace of vomit clearly on it. He couldn't do it!
"I don't have to sit. I'm tired of driving. Let's talk about what we're looking for you first." Zhuke is not in a hurry.
One side of James is also in a hurry: "yes, my boss's business is important."
Then, Zucker and James explained the authorization around toy story and the negotiation expert Max Lee, including the difficulties and requirements of negotiation.
"Er... That's it? Don't worry. I can handle a small case in three days. I'll make sure you're satisfied. "
When it comes to professional matters, condi is very confident.
Smell speech, Zhu Ke dubious way: "are you sure three days can be done?"
"Of course, I'm Connie Edward, the ace negotiator. He's max Lee. He didn't deserve to carry my shoes before. Three days, actually I'm too much. " Said condi casually.
Three days?
Too much?
Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know who Zhuke is?!
James also understands the change of Zhuke these days, and he can't help showing a look of "you're lucky for yourself" to Kangdi.
"Well, I'll give you two days. As long as you can handle it, I'll give you 1500 dollars."
He said at once, very generously.
"Poof! Poof! Poof The beer in condi's mouth vomited out immediately. He could not help but be surprised that he had never seen such a shameless person as Zhuke. Man, I said three days, just to show my major, you don't have to climb along. It makes me lose face, you know?
"This, this, these two days are not bad, but... You have to add money!"
Condy was embarrassed first, and then showed a decisive point, which made Zhuke a little surprised.
Smell speech, Zhu Ke magnanimous way: "add money, no problem.". I'll give you five hundred dollars more! "
Poop, poop!
Kangdi looked at a face of "I am very generous" Zhuke, almost did not spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Shameless!
I've never seen such a stingy person!
After half a day's talk, 500 dollars was added.
I must refuse you, but... If I have a job, I will refuse you.
Don't take your order next time!
Don't say it's condi. Even James on one side is scared by the shamelessness of Zhuke. See other people's business is not going well, you are really as low as possible price ah!
.......
Three days later.
Pixar Animation Studio.
Zucker finally met jobs, because today is the day to sign the contract, which needs to be signed by his big boss.
"Mr. Wald, you are so... So surprising to me. Where did you find such a good negotiator?"
Jobs and Zhuke shake hands, originally wanted to say you are too shameless, but the words to the mouth did not say.
What a shame?!
John lassett, Andrew Stanton and other Pixar people nodded.
"These three are too shameless."
"Well, by the way, his name is condi. He has a big voice and looks like a savage."
"More than savages?"
"Didn't you see him at the negotiating table, almost fighting Max Lee?"
"And that James Sean, who is always smiling and doesn't talk nonsense, can always come up with a lot of data. It's not worth killing. He's smiling!"
"The most shameless one is the guy, the guy, who is Jack Wald."
"Yes, he didn't say anything else, just that there was not so much money, not so much money, not so much money."
"After two days, I recited it hundreds of times, and I was almost stunned."
Pixar, bad reaction.
In fact, these are not much. The worst is Max Lee, the negotiator of dabel company. Facing condi, he is almost closed.
"Damn it, damn it. He's a savage. I'll never see him again."
The contract was finally signed.
The general contents are as follows:
Zucker didn't win the "Toy Story" movie peripheral license in six states, but also won California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
2. The authorization fee is $800000, paid in one lump sum, and the authorization period is 12 years.
3. Toy Story follow-up series, including Pixar Animation Studio in the next five years, all animation films created by the peripheral authorization priority.
Yes, including all its 3D animated films in the next five years.
That's what Zucker sees most.
"Toy Story", "bug crisis", "monster power company", "auto story" and other peripheral authorizations are enough to ensure that Zhuke's stores will continue to make money every day in the future.
"Hahaha, 800000 dollars, that's a lot of money. Not to mention after 2000, just a few months later, "Toy Story" will be released. With its hot trend, 800000 dollars is like fart. "
Jack is so happy.
We can expect that Pixar people will regret it in the future.
In a few months' time, it is estimated that the peripheral authorization fee in Los Angeles alone will exceed US $500000, and that in California alone will exceed US $1.2 million.
A few days later.
As he began to recruit, he began to think about writing a few plays.
"The fatal bend", "the chainsaw" and "the witch Blair" are all low-cost and high box office movies. Zhuke has a headache.
On this day, in the recruitment process, Zhuke met an unexpected interviewer, her name is Charlize Theron.
