"Bill~! How could you pay 900 yuan? Do you have so many resources in your European theater chain to bet on? Don't think I don't know, your 12 theaters in Italy are about to go bankrupt~!"

"Gary~ Don't say it, you called out 700 yuan first, otherwise we won't have a premium at all~!" "Don't argue~! Just follow the requirements of each board of directors! I'll pay 900 yuan and share it according to the proportion~!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Vari Sandro was also amused and crying. The directors were full of green eyes. They were really afraid that they would have less benefits in the bet. They were all excited and blushed with their necks. They wanted to step forward and pinch other people's necks, just want to take advantage of them...

"Okay, everyone, we have limited time, and we will reply to Li Xiaole immediately, so I need you to reach an agreement as soon as possible." Vari Sandro looked helplessly at these people who were blinded by interests and advised:

"In this way, why not compress according to the proportion you just now, and the total number of screens should be maintained at 00 yuan..."

"Warry, I refuse. I have discussed with our board of directors. This is our final bid." Gary Lof lowered his voice with a dark face. If anyone is the first to agree, he will lose in this internal negotiation. He may get less share and must not show weakness.

"It's my bid that I insist on investing in!" "I'm the same." The other directors are not fools. When they see Gary Lov's inevitable appearance, they also made a statement without any weakness.

"Okay, you don't want to give in, so give it to Iron Man" 00 screens. I know you don't care about this investment, but it will increase the possibility of our bet failure." Vari Sandro raised his voice and tried to let these guys who were all looking at money to see clearly.

"Vary~ Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Even if you give him 900 yuan more, "Iron Man" is far from the 200 million box office. Do you want to take more of your share?" Gary Lof stared at Vary Sandro coldly, which stunned the gentle old man.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's decide like this." Vary Sandro's wrinkled face finally showed an unhappy look, and said to the secretary next to him: "Catherine, you go and draw a contract, right away~."

In the end, since the representatives of the four companies were unwilling to give up their interests, the meeting finally confirmed the number of screens of 00 yuan. Vari Sandro also negotiated with them whether to reduce the proportion to 00 yuan, but obviously no one is willing to give up their slightest interests.

The problem is now. If it is set to be 00 yuan, the previous 200 million box office betting standard will be slightly lower. The standard should be raised... Although everyone knows that even 00 yuan plus 10 original screen count, the possibility of "Iron Man" reaching 200 million box office is almost zero, but this is the case for businessmen to be 200 million, and they always want to reduce the risks.

Gary Lof suggested to Vary Sandro in a tone of course: "Vary, call Li Xiaole, we have 900 more screens. Should he raise the standard of betting? How much should it be increased in proportion?" He looked back at the female secretary behind him.

"According to the decay of box office and screen number, the betting standard should be increased to 230 million..." replied the beautiful white female secretary.

"Yes~~ Then tell him that we will raise the box office standard for betting to 230 million~~~" Gary Lof shouted.

"This... I'm afraid he won't agree." When Vari Sandro heard this, he felt that their side was a bit too much. It was obvious that only 00 yuan was on the screen. The directors of the theater chain increased by 900 yuan after the internal struggle, and they also had to cooperate with them. This was really ridiculous. It was just absurd that this time it involved the acquisition of equity. The directors had to make the decision. If it were the CEOs of each company... they would definitely not have such a naked and greedy face.

"He didn't agree? He didn't agree to us, even if we didn't give him 00 screens, let him wait until it was released next year." Gary Lof sneered, with a fearless attitude. He didn't care whether Li Xiaole had invested in the company before. Now Black Pearl Lianmei's life is in their hands, and they have the final say at this time.

When Vari Sandro heard this, he looked at the other directors with expressionless face and nodded for granted. He could only sigh in his heart, silently picked up his cell phone, and dialed Li Xiaole's contact number.

"Hello, Li, are you busy now? Well... that's it... We have negotiated here, but a little bit of a problem has occurred. Our companies are very enthusiastic about this cooperation, so after negotiation, they decided to lend more screens than the predetermined number. Well, there are 900 more screens... So the directors mean that you can increase the betting standard to a box office of 230 million in proportion..."

Vari Sandro's face turned red after saying this. It didn't look like a business negotiation, it was completely blackmailed... But when Vari Sandro was in a complicated mood, he suddenly became stunned when he heard Li Xiaole's answer, and then he responded with a "um..." and "um..." and "um..." and he stood on the phone but was stunned for a long time.

"Wari, what's wrong? Tell me if that Li Xiaole agreed?" Gary Lof urged anxiously.

"Well..." After Vary Sandro reacted, he looked at others with a strange expression and said in a daze: "He said he accepted this new condition and hoped that there would be more screens, and Black Pearl United States could raise the standard of betting in proportion..."

"He still wants..." Gary Lof's expectant expression instantly frozen. He held his chin and thought for a while. He turned his head nervously and looked at a director and asked hurriedly:

"Jackson, aren't you some economic advisers in China? Check the situation of Black Pearl China Company immediately to see if this company has any illegal behavior, and then ask if the China Film Bureau will introduce any new policies to restrict private film companies?"

The directors are not idiots, and it is too easy to make everyone more vigilant.

Two hours later, the Chinese call finally came, but the conclusion was: "Black Pearl China operates well and has no underground illegal behavior. Black Pearl Company has just been rated as "Best Enterprise of the Year" by the China Film Bureau, and manager Ha Ji-won was even selected as "Outstanding Filmmaker" by the leaders of the Film Bureau. If the Film Bureau wants to introduce any new policies, it will definitely not give Black Pearl China Company so many honors."

"This matter is too unreasonable? Does Li Xiaole fantasize that "Iron Man" can win more than 200 million box office?" Gary Lof looked at the directors in confusion... wondering if there are any other possibilities.

"Will this be the case..." The white director with Chinese economic adviser said cautiously:

"I heard from my consultant that although Black Pearl Company has the right to produce, its film distribution rights are still under the control of China Film Group. China Film Group has been increasing its cooperation with Hollywood to shoot Sino-US co-production films, but there is a lot of public opposition. Do they want to take this opportunity to throw Black Pearl China to us so that both of us can cooperate in depth?"

This inference is quite absurd, but everyone seems to be unable to find any more reasonable explanation. Gary Lof finally smiled excitedly and laughed: "So, we really got a big advantage for nothing~~" No matter what the reason is, at least Li Xiaole's bet is irresistible.

"That's the decision. Let's not add the screen to the Chinese boy. Follow the previous agreement." Gary Lof looked at everyone and asked, "Do you still have any opinions?"

Everyone nodded excitedly to agree, all of them fell into a ecstasy of winning the lottery.

Only Arthur of the Hoyt Cinema has been watching the farce coldly... These fools are now thinking that when the Black Pearl United States collapses, they will also take the opportunity to gain some benefits. Can such idiotic directors not see it? If "Iron Man" wins this time, perhaps the development of the five companies will be better. Arthur cursed softly and said, "A bunch of idiots..." and stood up and left the noisy scene.

That night, when Li Xiaole was hugging and falling asleep in China and hugging Ha Ji-won, the director representatives of the Century Cinema Alliance were all excited after the morning meeting. Everyone was starting to post new good news on financing in the company management group emails. Black Pearl China Company, the second-ranked film company in East Asia, is about to enter their pockets~~

A few days later, the two sides officially signed the contract, and the members of the board of directors of these four companies were even more ecstatic. They only paid tens of millions of dollars to win a film company with a market value of more than 200 million US dollars. This made them feel that they had found a big advantage. They never thought that if the bet failed, they would pay... Nietzsche's famous saying describes their status very well - "When you look at the abyss, the abyss is also watching you."

After the contract came into effect, Century Theater Lianmei immediately adjusted its screening plan and sent other film companies a statement to adjust its screening. As soon as the news that "Iron Man" is about to have 4,100 yuan in the first round of screenings was released, it immediately shocked the producers of major film companies...
