The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

After two hours of arduous negotiations, Dimension Entertainment and Lewen Group still failed to reach an agreement, so they could only rest temporarily.

Although Fan Zhe has already made up his mind, no matter how much the other party proposes, as long as it is not too exaggerated, he will definitely accept it. But after all, negotiating this kind of thing is bound to strive for the maximum benefit for oneself. No matter how stupid he is, he will not leak his cards to the opponent.

During the negotiation meeting, he basically didn't speak, and it was Ye Jiayi who spoke.

At the beginning of the meeting, the two sides talked about money without doing too much ink. Ye Jiayi opened her mouth to ask for a production fee of 3 million yuan per episode, which of course was directly rejected by the other party.

Asking prices all over the sky and bargaining on the ground are normal operations.

But later, Fan Zhe saw the powerful aura of his ex-wife.

Ye Jiayi spoke in a quiet voice, and her posture sitting in front of the conference table was even more elegant. Her words were not sharp, but she was like a queen, leading the negotiation process throughout. The man from the Lewen Group sitting across from him who was in charge of negotiating was suppressed like a small shrimp, and he was totally sorry for his status.

To be honest, the two have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time Fan Zhe has seen Ye Jiayi's appearance at work.

But he was not surprised, it was consistent with Ye Jiayi's impression on him.

Although the negotiation has not yet reached a final result, and even core issues such as production costs have not been resolved, there is still room for discussion later. But this has been talked about for almost a morning, so I have to take a break.

It's around eleven o'clock in the morning, during the intermission period, and we will continue to talk at 2:30 in the afternoon.

People still showed a certain demeanor. At noon, some of them from the business department and the "Full-time" animation project team accompanied Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi to a restaurant next to the company for a meal. Of course, they paid for the meal. During the dinner, they didn't discuss any business matters, they just chatted about works and other things, which can be regarded as closer relationship.

After eating, they took them to a star-rated hotel next door, where they had already opened two hourly rooms for them to rest, and they could take a nap at noon, and then participate in the afternoon negotiations when they were energetic.

The entire reception process was quite reliable, so that after Le Wen's people left, Fan Zhe jokingly said to Ye Jiayi: "I think they are quite sincere, or we can make some concessions."

Ye Jiayi said coldly: "This is their regular reception. You have already surrendered before you have resorted to more powerful measures? Just now, you can sleep with any of the beautiful girls in the business department. You can sleep in exchange for negotiations." A million on the table."

Fan Zhe touched his nose and thought of the key point.

Treating guests to dinner and opening a hotel for people to rest are all small money, even if it is to go to heaven and earth for a comprehensive health care, how much will it cost? If people can get concessions on the negotiating table by investing in such insignificant things, then they will make a lot of money.

As expected, he was still young, without Ye Jiayi's reminder, it was hard to think of the twists and turns inside.

He said: "How do you feel about the negotiations in the morning?"

Ye Jiayi said, "It's kind of strange."

"Ah?" Fan Zhe said, "I don't feel anything strange..."

"It's a feeling of atmosphere." Ye Jiayi said, "I think that when they first talked with us, they seemed to be lacking in sincerity."

"You don't think they're really negotiating with us?"

"No." Ye Jiayi shook his head and said, "Although there was nothing on the surface during the whole negotiation process, I felt a little perfunctory. They couldn't afford our initial quotation, and they didn't want to... So, when I mentioned that the quotation can When making concessions, they were not particularly interested. Because the initial offer price was as high as 3 million, small concessions would not make much sense. They may be using the matter of negotiating with us to achieve other goals.”

Fan Zhe is not stupid, he said: "Are they using us to suppress the quotations from their existing producers?"

"It is very likely that, even, they may be negotiating with the other side during the process of negotiating with us, using us to lower the price."

"Then what should we do?"

"Don't worry, they don't know how big a bargaining chip we hold, and we will win in the end. However, in the afternoon, we should also adjust our negotiation strategy."

"give it to you."

...

Inside the Lewen Group, Kappa felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He was the one who was negotiating with Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi just now.

But it wasn't this that tired him.

In the morning, on the other side, the bosses from the Ministry of Commerce were also negotiating with the current producer, and his side, as Ye Jiayi said, was indeed a cover and used as a bargaining chip to lower the price.

But the results of the negotiations over there were not ideal.

Even though the people in the Ministry of Commerce threw out the trump card of "our project producer is negotiating with Dimension Entertainment", they still did not let the other party let go of the production cost.

And on his own side, when he didn't report any expectations in advance, Dimension Entertainment really threw out an unacceptable price of 3 million single episodes.

Things are at an impasse.

To be honest, he really wants Dimension Entertainment to accept this project, their level is really too enticing.

At the beginning, after seeing the effect of the remake, he went to the boss to try to persuade the above people to increase the offer, but in the end he was rejected.

That day, he even wanted to look up to the sky and sigh a little, and his mood became depressed, just like seeing his favorite goddess, but he couldn't get close, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

The boss refuses to pay, what can he do?

He understands that this matter is not even something to look forward to.

But the play needs to be performed in full, and he will continue to go back and suffer later.

However, when Kappa thinks of the woman he was negotiating with just now, he will even feel a little fear: the aura is too strong, and he is a little bit overwhelmed.

"What if they are willing to accept a one million offer later?" Daydreaming, the Kappa lay on the recliner and rested with his eyes closed.

...

At half past two, Kappa's daydream came true.

It didn't reach the level of one million, but the beautiful negotiator of Dimension Entertainment suddenly lowered the offer significantly, lowering the price to one and a half million episodes.

Such a price reduction caught Kappa by surprise, and at the same time, he was extremely pleasantly surprised, being dazed by the pie falling from the sky.

The pure production cost of 1.5 million for a single episode is still not acceptable to the Lewen Group, but at least it has seen the light of day—especially when the other party shows their willingness to continue negotiating at this price.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask the leader for instructions."

Walking out of the meeting room, Kappa forcibly held back his desire to vent his desire to howl, and called the boss to explain the situation.

If you really want to hire Dimension Entertainment for a similar price, who the hell would pay attention to the group of creators on the other side!
