After hearing what Shottal said, Ritter turned his eyes forward and fell. Fortunately, he was about to hold him back again, otherwise he would definitely knock his mouth full of teeth away.

"Shotal, you guy is really, what's hard to say, you have to say something about monkey!" I looked at Shotal and scolded.

"Yes, don't you obviously want someone's life? Who doesn't know how powerful your stories are. This old man is just cruel and bad." Gans echoed me while rubbing Perrit's chest.

Shottal grinned with teeth and stood beside him with a smirk on his face.

After working hard for a while, Perrit finally recovered. He looked at me and Shottal, his eyes were blurred and obviously he was on the verge of collapse.

"Mr. Shottal, your story is very interesting. I have gained a lot after listening to it." Perrit looked at Shottal and squeezed out a smile. The smile was even worse than crying. This guy has reached this time and he still maintains the elegance and demeanor of a Frenchman.

"Mr. Shottal, if I understand it correctly, does your story tell me that the two proposals I made are essentially the same, so you won't agree." Perrit was not stupid at all, so naturally he could hear the subtext contained in Shottal's story.

After hearing Perrit's words, Shothal grabbed Perrit's hand and shouted, "Mr. Perrit, you are so smart. This is what I meant. I was afraid that you wouldn't understand it. It seems that I don't need to tell the two stories I have prepared below."

"%...&×#%!" Perrit's face turned blue after hearing this. He almost rolled his eyes again.

"Go and go, stop telling your story!" Gans pushed Shothal over.

Poor Perrit. I had to hold on to smile with such a big blow in my intelligence again and again, which made me laugh and cry.

"Mr. Corleon, are my two proposals really not work?" Perrit looked at me, with a look of begging in his eyes, which made me feel very sad.

"Mr. Perrit, neither of your proposals can make us feel safe, because they are essentially the same." I took a sip of tea and stared at Perrit.

Perrit said in embarrassment: "Mr. Corleon, you should suggest it. As long as it is reasonable, our Gaomeng Company will agree."

It seems that at this time, Perrit is already exhausted.

I coughed, cleared my throat, and asked Perrit, "Mr. Perrit, I wonder how many cinemas are there under your Gaomen Company?"

Perrit was stunned by my question, and he obviously didn't expect me to ask this question suddenly.

"There are many cinemas in total. It's about 3,000. Mr. Corleon, you asked this for..." Perrit was a little overwhelmed.

There are not many cinemas under European film companies. With Gaomeng Company's current declining situation, it can still have 3,000 cinemas. It is indeed

I smiled and said, "That's not bad. Mr. Perrit, my suggestion is that our DreamWorks sends personnel to establish the European branch of DreamWorks in France. We are responsible for the production equipment, and Gaomeng Company is responsible for the promotion and sales of raw materials and equipment, as well as other related work. The profits obtained are 37 cents, and we are 7, you three, and the first batch of audio film equipment produced are first equipped to be tested in 300 of your 3,000 movies."

Perrit was stunned: "Mr. Corleone, are you planning to establish a branch in Paris?! The French government is now very strict in the approval of land, and it is even more harsh for foreign companies. It is very difficult for you to establish a branch in Paris."

From the beginning, Perrit's goal was to introduce audio film technology into Europe, put DreamWorks outside Europe, and to be the plenipotent representative of audio films in Europe. In this way, they can make a lot of profits and rise again. So when he heard that I wanted to set up a branch in Europe, he naturally disagreed and must give some reasons to change my mind.

But he didn't know what I was thinking.

"Paris? Hahahaha, Mr. Perrit, you are wrong. I will not set up a branch in Paris." I shrugged.

Joke, how could I set up a branch in Paris? It is the capital of France. The land is very expensive. If you build a branch there, it will cost a lot. In addition, the headquarters of their Gaomeng Company is in Paris. When we are unfamiliar with them, we will inevitably have problems over time. When they steal the technology, wouldn’t I cry without tears? All kinds of forces in Paris are mixed with fish and dragons. On the French one acre of three-point land, we are completely fish, so it’s better to leave that place farther away. More importantly, World War II will break out in more than ten years. In history, Paris was so sad that it was attacked by the Germans by the French capital in history, so I would never set up a branch in that place.

"Not in Paris?! Mr. Corleon, where do you want to build the branch?!" Perrit asked me with his head raised.

"Canad." I smiled proudly.

"Ga...Kana?! Mr. Corleon, I heard it right?! Although the scenery is good, there is nothing except the seaside! At best, it is a small town. Do you really have to build a branch there?!" Perrit no longer has the idea of ​​me.

Although Cannes was famous in later generations because of the Cannes Film Festival, in 1926, it was just a big city with a nice scenery. Every year, some people travel here for vacation. There is not even a cinema in the whole city, and the population is not as large as Hollywood. In Perrit's opinion, I set up the branch there, which is simply a joke.

"Mr. Perrit, it is my business to build the branch. I want to know if you accept my proposal?" I sneered and stared at Perrit's face, making him feel distressed.

"Mr. Corleon, the cooperation between Gormont and DreamWorks. In my opinion, it is a mutually beneficial thing. Gormont can obtain a certain profit through DreamWorks. DreamWorks can not only get rich rewards through this cooperation, but also increase its influence and reputation. So I think the cooperation between us should be fairer." Perrit said in a trembling voice.

The most artistic director of Gaomeng Company, Perrit is very experienced in negotiations. He knows that when the negotiations are

Let the other party see the weakness, so he has to tell me. This time, both the company and DreamWorks will benefit, which is a win-win situation. Since that is the case, it must be fair.

Although his statement makes sense on the surface, it does not apply to me at all.

Seeing that he had a glimmer of luck, I felt that he had to completely let all his fantasies be abandoned.

"Mr. Perrit, you are right. The cooperation between DreamWorks and Gaomeng Company is a win-win situation. DreamWorks will definitely make unexpected huge profits, and so is Gaomeng Company. But tell me, why do I cooperate with you Gaomeng Company? Europe is not just one company, but not to mention anything else. Your old rival, Baidai Company, is much stronger than you in business. If DreamWorks and Baidai cooperate and join forces, do you think we have gained more benefits from cooperation with you, or do we get more benefits from cooperation with them?" I have long seen Perrit's weaknesses, so this move made Perrit completely speechless.

For Gaomeng Company, the most feared thing at present is that Baidai Company is strong. They are no longer the opponent of Baidai Company. If DreamWorks chose Baidai Company instead of them, then Baidai Company will inevitably become the overlord of European film companies again. At that time, the strong Baidai will be the first target to attack. Naturally, it is Gaomeng Company in its own territory. At that time, people want money, equipment and equipment, but they are vulnerable. You don’t have to think about what kind of fate will be in Gaomeng Company.

It can be said that cooperating with DreamWorks to redevelop relies on audio films is the only way for Gao Meng Company to rise. If they lose this opportunity, what awaits them is death and bankruptcy.

My words tell Perrit that there is no fairness in this cooperation from the beginning. DreamWorks has a patent for audio films and can cooperate with any company, but for Gaomeng, they only have one partner, and it is a matter of life and death.

"Mr. Perrit, for me, it doesn't matter which company we cooperate with. Whether it is Eddie or You Gaomeng Company, it's the same in our DreamWorks' eyes. As long as we can satisfy us, there is no difference. Mr. Perrit, the big reason why I am willing to cooperate with you is because Gaomeng Company introduced DreamWorks' films to the first European film company in Europe. Our cooperative relationship has been laid a year ago. I cherish this cooperative relationship with you very much, and we have always cooperated happily." I looked like giving charity and pity, and Perrit just nodded.

"Mr. Corleon is right. In our hearts, we all think that DreamWorks is our friendly partner and we are extremely looking forward to this cooperation." Perrit's eyes were red. I don't know if it was thankful or because we were forced to be forced by the current desperate situation without any choice.

This time, the bargaining look on his face had almost dissipated.

"But Mr. Corleon, you just said that your DreamWorks branch is responsible for production, we are responsible for raw material supply and other related work, but we can only get three points for the branch. Isn't this a bit too little? Can it be four or six points?" Seeing that we were going to establish a branch in Europe, he could not organize it, just turn his attention to the profit division ratio.

"Mr. Perrit, it's a bit inappropriate for you to say this." Before I could speak, Shottal took over: "Mr. Perrit, do you know how much manpower and financial resources DreamWorks has put into obtaining the patent for audio movies?! This technology embodies our countless efforts, and Gaomeng Company just did some basic work to enjoy the huge cakes in the entire European market with us. In the end, it would be reasonable to think that it would be less shared by itself?"

Shottal looked straight at Perrit, then touched his mouth: "Or why I'll tell you another little story, Mr. Perrit."

Hearing that he was going to tell a story, Perrit's face turned blue at that time, and he pulled Shottal's arm and shouted, "Mr. Shottal. Stop talking, I understand, I understand!"

Seeing Perrit's pissing, I couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Corleon, this proposal is of great importance. Can I discuss it with Mr. Gao Meng? You know, I am just an artistic director, not a director of the company. Although Mr. Gao Meng granted me the power of plenipotentiary representatives when I came, I cannot make a decision on such a big thing." Perrit has now completely given up the idea of ​​bargaining.

"It should be. Bala, you take Mr. Perrit to the communication room to call." I waved at Bala, and Bala smiled and took Perrit downstairs.

Although there is a phone call in the office, people report such a big thing to do with their boss, so there are naturally many private words to say, so many people in the office. Perrit is naturally hard to speak.

As soon as Perrit left, Shottal and Gans rushed up.

"Boss, I really can't figure out why you want to build a branch in Cannes?! I've been to that place, not half as big as our Hollywood, and the population is not as much as our Hollywood. The scenery is good, the water is clear and the sand is white. But no one has been there except for the tourism season. We built the branch there, but it's a bad thing. I don't understand!" Shottal pulled my clothes and said anxiously.

"Boss, I'm worried about the same as Shottal. I haven't even heard of the Cannes place. Such a big city, there is no lively Paris! In my opinion, if you want to build it, you can build it in Paris, which is lively and prosperous. Whatever you want, it's so cool!" Gans smacked his lips as he said.

"Get out! Do you think building a branch is to play! Paris. Paris is lively, prosperous, and there are many beauties! But that place is not suitable for building a branch!" I glared at Gans fiercely.

"Why?!" Gans and Shottal shouted at the same time.

Why? I can't tell them that there will be a world war in more than ten years, and that Paris will have a lot of bombing everywhere. Even if I tell them, they will never believe it.

"Think about it, Paris is a place, a glass of water is several times more expensive than other places, and that place is just to burn money. Our branch is mainly engaged in making movies but production equipment. Why do you go to such a prosperous place? Moreover, the headquarters of Gaomeng Company is in that ghost place, which is someone else's territory, and it has been a long time.

Can you guarantee that they will not attack us?! Can you guarantee that we can be bad?! Although Cannes is small, it is surrounded by countries and regions with rich resources. Facing the sea, with flowers blooming in spring, we can advance and attack and defend. The railway is developed here, and the raw materials we need can be transported in from all directions, which is very convenient than Paris and the freight rate is also lower. Also, Cannes and Paris are far apart, and even if they have colorful intestines, our safety is not a problem. In addition, Cannes is a small town, and the land price is definitely cheap. When recruiting workers here, the salary is much lower than that of Paris. After a while, we have saved a lot of money. Have you considered these?" I analyzed bit by bit.

Gans and Shottal nodded this time to express their understanding.

"Boss, our plan is good, but what should we do if Gao Meng Company doesn't agree?" Gans asked silly at me.

Shottal and I looked at each other, and then I patted Gans and said with a smile, "I'll tell you a little story. If you fall into the water and are about to drown, someone throws you a rope from the shore, and then he tells you that if you want to survive, you must promise him to give him your house, do you say you agree?"

Gans rolled his eyes and bitched: "I'm not stupid, I just want to tell you this story! Think I'm Perrit."

Shottal also smiled: "Gans, don't worry, we are eating Dinggaomon Company this time."

The three of them chatted in the office for a while and heard the stairs ringing.

"Mr. Corleon, Mr. Gao Meng just agreed to your proposal. It seems that our two companies can cooperate again this time!" Perrit was very happy. He stepped into the door with one foot, and before he could catch my hand.

"That's great. Mr. Perrit, then I wish us a happy cooperation." I held his hand and shook it politely.

"Mr. Corleon, then we'll sign the contract later." It's not clear that Perrit was still anxious.

It was finally concluded that he was afraid that there would be more dreams in the night.

"This is not urgent. Mr. Perritt, the cooperation between DreamWorks and Gaomeng Company is of great significance, so you cannot sign a contract in a hasty way. Let's sign a contract tomorrow morning. Then I will invite some relevant personnel from Hollywood to come over, on the one hand to celebrate and on the other hand to testify." I spread my hands and said.

Perrit asked for it: "Okay, okay, there should be a testimony for such a thing."

After the cooperation was confirmed, Perrit became much more relaxed. I sat in the office and chatted for a long time. Not only did I make the various situations of Gaomeng Company clear, but I could even understand the situations of other companies such as Baida, Wufa and other movie tycoons, as well as the entire European film industry.

Although European films are still in the silent film era, they have changed a lot. After decades of exploration, they have made the various basic art forms and means of films fully and perfectly used. In other words, some rules of film have basically been discussed in the last few years of the 1920s. In European film companies, although there are differences between large and large companies, they are not as uniform as Hollywood film companies in scale. The major Hollywood film companies have differentiated into four levels, and the distribution of power is a pyramid. They are rising layer by layer, but in Europe, there are two extremes, that is, the market is basically occupied by a very small number of large companies, with few medium companies, and the remaining many of the companies are small companies.

Therefore, if DreamWorks wants to establish a branch in Europe and grow and grow, it must seize the big companies, and pay special attention to those numerous small companies, which is different from Hollywood.

During the conversation, Perrit also revealed that Gaomeng Company is now determined to cheer up. In fact, I chose Gaomeng instead of Baidai. One of the big reasons is that the corporate spirit of these two companies is different. Although Gaomeng Company is not as strong as Baidai, the people of Gaomeng Company are indomitable people. This spirit was trained by Louis Feiyad, so although they have low points, they never give up hope. Baidai Company is a typical nouveau riche with ambition, but once they suffer from some major setbacks, it is difficult to get up again.

In addition, the main business of Gaomeng Company is all concentrated in Europe, especially France, which is their foundation, while Baidai Company is different. Half of their business is in the United States, and the United States is the focus of their development. Since it is establishing a branch in Europe, I naturally need my partners to focus all their energy on Europe. Companies like Baidai are obviously not what I want. As for the largest film company in Germany, Ufa Company, now it is firmly controlled by the state. Although they have to obtain various preferential policies in terms of policies and actual operations, Germany is now an era when the cute mustache is about to rise. Although he likes movies, I think it is better to keep a distance from him.

After Perrit and I finished chatting, he went to the hotel to rest with Barra, and I took Stenborough and others to continue filming.

After a busy afternoon, I came back from work and had dinner. I recruited almost all the leadership of DreamWorks to the office.

Gans, Fatty, Barra, Disney, Shanlige, Shothal, Jassel, Griffith, Dunar, Stendburg, Stiller, Flahadi, Munau, Jack, Bizer, etc., and a group of people squeezed the already narrow office full of them.

"Everyone, at noon, I had reached an agreement with Lyons Perrit, the artistic director of Gaomeng Company, on the cooperation between DreamWorks and Gaomeng Company." I glanced at these guys and smiled and told them all about the negotiations at noon.

Among these people, except for Shottal, Gans and others present at noon, most of them were not very clear about it, so when they heard such news, they immediately talked and were extremely excited.

"Boss, it's great! Europe is still a vacuum area for audio movies, which is a huge cake. If we build the branch there, we can definitely win both fame and fortune! This cooperation is good!" Dunar waved his arm with a smile.

"Boss, is Gaomeng's company reliable?" Griffith glanced at Dunar, frowned, and stared at me with a little worried.

He is planning to film "Caesar" now, and he is busy all day long and loses a few times, so he seems extremely cold to say this.

"What does it mean?" I leaned against the chair and lit a cigarette.

Si Weng said in a low voice: "I heard that Gao Meng's company is in a downturn now. After the mission took over, it made the company mess. Can we cooperate with them? "

"You mean we may be dragged down by them?" I smiled.

Griffith nodded.

"David. Why are you afraid of trouble when you are old? I think it's better to be a mess in Gaomeng Company than it is as strong as a lion. Why? Think about it, do we hope that it's better to sleep beside us with a fat cow with unclear minds or to stand a lion?!" Bizer was full of confidence.
To be continued...
