American Fortune Life

Andy watched Carl hang up the phone with a smile on his face, and took a sip of the coffee that Carl's secretary brought in.

"I really don't understand. Why did you ask me to buy the film adaptation rights of Twilight? We can't make movies... Wait, Andy, you really want to start a film company, right?"

Carl kept complaining, and he was a little stunned as he spoke, and asked with an expression of disbelief.

"Hehe, why not? Making movies is very profitable. I do have this plan, but it's not about starting my own company, but because I'm interested in Summit Entertainment." Andy said with a calm smile.

Carl's eyes lit up, but when he thought of the person he had just talked to on the phone, a wry smile appeared on his face again.

"Andy, your idea is a bit whimsical. Although Summit Entertainment started out by distributing direct-to-market films and some films produced by Universal Corporation, since the three partners of the company were about to switch to making films, they changed the original style. Ramon’s executive chairman, Rob Freeman, was appointed, and Rob is not a simple person, if you want to acquire Summit, the price will not be too small.”

Andy shrugged indifferently, and said with a smile: "I don't intend to spend money to acquire Summit, I just want to control it. As for whether it is powerful or not, who cares before becoming a shareholder of Summit Entertainment. However, whether I can succeed It depends on whether you can successfully win the copyright of Twilight, the more expert you are, the more you should understand how important a good series is."

Carl looked at Andy bitterly, and said with a bit of heartache: "But isn't it too exaggerated to spend 67 million to buy a film and television copyright, so that the money in our company's account will almost be emptied?" , It’s just to maintain normal daily expenses.”

Andy gave Carl an angry look, "Don't talk nonsense, this matter must be done as soon as possible. Didn't you tell me that you have contacted Stephanie Meyer this morning? How about it, is she willing to talk to us?"

"Hehe, what can I do, this woman is up for grabs now, and she welcomes us to join the bidding process, but she also understands that the current price of 5 million is already very high. After I offer 6 million, she said that she will consider it carefully. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go to Arizona to meet and talk with her.” Carl smiled wryly, knowing that he couldn’t change Andy’s decision, so he could only do his best to complete the matter.

"Well, let's go there. In this way, after signing the contract with Warner, you will leave. This matter cannot be delayed. I am afraid that the summit will be desperate. They are a group of gamblers." Andy is still a little worried, avoiding long nights and dreams. , It is safest to get it as soon as possible.

"I... well, you are the boss, you have the final say. By the way, have you checked the bulletin board? You made it into the top ten. You sold 360,000 copies last week. The director of Universal Music just called to congratulate you. He said to call you, but your phone has been busy." Carl put away his entangled emotions and talked about happy things.

"Hehe, I saw it. It's quite unexpected. I didn't expect a country music song to be so popular. I've been on the phone with Ivana this morning. I'll call him back later. I always want to thank him." Speaking of the single Andy is still very happy with the sales. Especially as a cross-border singer, it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to rank in the top ten of the billboard.

While Andy and Carl were chatting, people from Warner Films also arrived. After they met in the conference room, they introduced each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then took their seats to complete the signing.

The conditions of the two parties had been negotiated long ago, so there were no twists and turns. After the lawyers of both parties checked the contract, Andy and Richard signed the contract on behalf of their respective companies.

After the contract was exchanged and signed, Andy and Richard shook hands to celebrate the success of the cooperation between the two parties. As for the copyright fee of $100,000, Andy gave it to Carl. After all, his behavior towards the copyright company was indeed a bit cruel. .

Sending Warner and his party away, Andy looked at Carl who was packing up his things in the office and was about to leave for Arizona immediately.

He asked again: "This time you go, you must buy the copyright of the book, this is really important..."

"Oh, my God, you have said it a dozen times, I know, I will definitely bring it back, negotiating things like this can't be too urgent, everyone likes beautiful knives, and Stephanie is not an idiot, She just wants to see the three companies raise their prices, I know how to do it, so don't worry. By the way, are you going back to New York next?" Carl was speechless, and couldn't stand Andy's nagging, so he changed the subject Said.

"Well, there's no rush. I'm going to San Francisco first. The game company's new game is about to be launched. I have to go to the town in person. After all, it's my ambition. After finishing the game company's affairs, I will fly directly to San Francisco New York, I won’t be back until after the election in November.” Andy talked about his itinerary.

"Okay, then I wish your game a big hit. I won't chat with you until the plane arrives at 3:30. If you don't leave, it will be too late. Let's call. Don't worry, I will definitely buy Twilight Come on, after all, it is very difficult for Stephanie to refuse the price we offer, the key now is that we are just a copyright company, not a film company, she is still a little hesitant about this matter, I will convince her." Carl packed his things and mentioned Briefcase, said to Andy.

"Well, thank you. Have a good trip. I'll wait for your call." Andy sent Carl out of the company building, and the car carrying Carl and his party of four quickly drove out of Andy's sight.

Andy looked at the time and said to Joseph: "Let's go too, go back and pack up, we are leaving for San Francisco."

Joseph nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Kenny who was in the villa, asking him to prepare in advance.

Since this time he is flying directly from San Francisco to New York, Andy needs to pack a lot of things. Of course, because he needs to live in New York for two months this time, the cat Laura and two Dobermans will be brought with him. When cultivating a relationship, if you are separated for two months, you will inevitably feel a little alienated. It is wise to take it back to New York, and it will not cost a lot of money, just need three small things for bumping.

Back home, Andy just packed a few clothes casually, checked in the study to see if there was anything missing, took out a few documents from the safe that recorded some things when he just crossed over, found a lighter, lit it, and threw it away. Into a stainless steel basin, watching those files that shouldn't exist quickly turn to ashes, go to the bathroom and wash them away with water.

The last bit of worry disappeared with the flow of water, and he had already recorded all the things in his mind, and the records of major events had no further value, especially when he needed to leave for two months, so as to prevent any accidents from happening , Even though the security level of his current home is already very high, and the alarm device is directly connected to the Los Angeles Police Department, this matter poses too much threat to Andy, and destruction is the best way.

Carrying a type of travel bag, he bid farewell to Liu Yan in the living room, "Aunt Liu, you can live here if you want to. If you want to go back to your daughter's house, you can. I won't be back until November."

"I'll live here. I can go back to see them at my daughter's place at any time. It's always wrong that there is no one at home. Don't worry." Liu Yan said with a kind smile, and hugged Andy goodbye.

Andy picked up the travel bag, hugged the little ignorant Laura into his arms, and whistled. Quicksilver and the witch barked twice, then ran out of the corner and ran to Andy's side , Squat down and look up at Andy.

"Let's go, I'll take you to San Francisco." After speaking, he walked outside, and the two Dobermans followed Andy at the same pace.

Andy watched Kuaiyin and the witch jump into the car, squatting honestly in the trunk, and couldn't help chuckling a few times. These two little things are cute. They got into the car, put the travel bag aside, and spoke to Ken. Ni said, "Let's go."

When he arrived at the airport, Andy put the three little ones into the pet air box he had bought earlier. Little Laura was a little nervous and kept meowing. Andy had to comfort her again and again. San Francisco takes 6 hours, and it is already midnight by the time we arrive.

Checking pets is not very troublesome, because Andy's pets have all the documents. The only thing is that the three little things are a little restless and irritable. Quicksilver and the witch are better. After all, after a period of training, little Laura is a little It gave Andy a headache, because Little Laura is a small animal that cannot be injected with sedatives, so he can only be appeased as much as possible.

Because Andy's three pets are all in the growth stage, they can be regarded as small animals in terms of size and can be checked as luggage. In this way, Andy does not need to go to the airport two to three hours in advance to go through the check-in procedures, and they can directly go to the airport with them. Andy got on the plane together, and he could take them out as soon as he arrived in San Francisco.
