Chapter 876 976. Max changes owner

"I have packed your socks, underwear and pajamas for you, seven sets in total, remember to change them every day."

"I checked the weather in Los Angeles, and it seems that it will rain in the next few days, so I also brought you two more coats, remember to wear them if it rains."

"By the way, I will find you some cold medicine. I know you are in good health and will not get sick, but what if?"

Looking at Shu Chang who was busy packing his luggage, Nie Wei showed a helpless and happy smile. The happiness was naturally because of his wife's concern. As for the helplessness, after all, Shu Chang's current job has made his life assistant face the problem of unemployment.

"You don't need to bring medicine. The process at customs is more complicated. I have a private doctor in the United States, don't worry." Nie Wei even hugged Shu Chang who was going to find medicine and said with a smile.

"Oh, forget it. I'll find you two pairs of slippers. You won't be used to wearing hotel slippers. Oh, and bring you a pair of sneakers. You have to exercise in the morning..." Shu Chang kissed Nie Wei sweetly on the face, and then turned around to get busy again.

Seeing how busy Shu Chang was, people who didn't know would think that Nie Wei was going to work away from home for a year.

But in fact, Nie Wei only went to the United States to sign the contract this time. After all, the negotiations with the Wayne brothers had reached the final conditions. Nie Wei would buy Max Films, which they had been operating for more than 30 years, for 472.5 million.

All the films being produced by Max Films, as well as the film copyrights they owned, were also sold to Nie Wei along with this deal.

After all, the brothers had been "expelled" by Hollywood, and there was no use for them to keep these copyrights, so at the beginning of the negotiations, these things were used as bargaining chips in the negotiations.

And buying this film company for 470 million was simply a profitable deal in Nie Wei's eyes.

If it weren't for the scandal, the Wayne brothers probably wouldn't sell Max Films even if someone else offered 1 billion.

But the current situation is so helpless for the Wayne brothers. If they don't sell it to Nie Wei, they can only wait for bankruptcy and be swallowed up by those Wall Street tycoons who want to suck even the bone marrow.

So comparing the two, he decided to sell it to Nie Wei. No one will have a problem with the US dollar.

"I'm just going to sign this time. If everything goes well, I may be back in four or five days. By the way, do you have any gifts you want? I can buy them for you after I sign the contract." Nie Wei looked at Shu Chang who was still packing the box and asked.

"Hmm..." Shu Chang pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of what he wanted.

Seeing this, Nie Wei stopped asking Shu Chang and said with a smile: "If you can't think of it, forget it. I'll just pick a gift at random when the time comes. But if you don't like it, don't blame me."

Shu Chang rolled her eyes at Nie Wei. She didn't believe that her good husband would pick a gift for her at random. Anyway, Shu Chang was ready to happily accept the gift.

Nie Wei's news of the successful acquisition of Max was naturally notified to Thomas as soon as possible, which was the main reason why Thomas dared to be tough at the meeting.

After all, Nie Wei had informed him on the phone that the position of acting president of Max Films had been reserved for him. In Thomas's view, although the scale of Max Films is far from comparable to Disney, in terms of status, he is not much worse than Iger, and he has transformed himself into a senior worker.

What makes him more confident is Nie Wei's support. With Nie Wei, a big boss, as a backer, he also has the confidence to compete with Iger.

As for the three people who followed Thomas to change jobs, they were naturally tempted to join the ship by the prospects promised by Thomas.

Nie Wei also tacitly allowed this.

After all, Thomas is about to face a new company. If he wants to control the company, he will inevitably need assistants. If he starts with old employees, the process will become complicated and long, and the effect may not be good.

Anyway, as the Wayne brothers' name is notorious, many executives of Max Films have also resigned, leaving many positions vacant. Nie Wei simply gave Thomas a few places and asked him to bring some trusted friends to help him control the company.

Of course, this number will not be too many. Nie Wei is unlikely to let Thomas control the company alone. Not to mention anything else, Nie Wei will not let him intervene in the company's financial affairs.

After all, this guy has a "criminal record". He was able to accept Nie Wei's money at the beginning, and he might also accept other people's money.

This is why Nie Wei promised him only a position as an acting president. If he is honest and obedient and does a good job, the acting position will naturally be removed. If he wants to play tricks in the new company, Nie Wei will not be polite.

Thomas naturally knew that Nie Wei could not completely trust him now, but he really wanted to work hard at Max Films, so he deliberately contradicted Iger at the meeting. This seemingly preparation that left him no way out was actually to express his loyalty to Nie Wei.

After all, after offending Iger, his only place to go was Max Films, and he could only work hard at Max Films, otherwise there would be no place for him in Hollywood.

Thomas had no choice but to be so desperate.

If you want to become an upper-class person in the United States, you naturally have to pay something. This time, the opportunity Nie Wei gave him was too rare, and he must seize it firmly.

After all, according to his original life trajectory, Thomas would probably be a middle-class person until his death, not as good as the upper class but better than the lower class. However, as the president of Max Films, he has obtained a ticket to the upper class.

Controlling a Hollywood company with weight, his power is much greater than that of the head of Disney Films he previously served, which is why it is worth his efforts to cut off his own retreat.

The other three people who resigned with him naturally also received Thomas's guarantee.

The box office statistics of "The Martian" on May, Saturday and Sunday were as high as 96 million. After maintaining the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days, it also topped the weekly box office champion throne. Huayi and Paramount were celebrating, and as the director and starring actor of the film, Nie Wei arrived in Los Angeles with an excellent business team.

"Boss, the signing is scheduled for 2 pm. The whole process is confidential. You only need to bring a pen." Li Jinyu, who has been in charge of negotiations with the Wayne brothers in Los Angeles, reported immediately after receiving Nie Wei.

"Let's go back to the hotel first. The weather in Los Angeles is really bad." Looking at the continuous drizzle outside, Nie Wei stopped Li Jinyu's report and signaled him not to worry.

Li Jinyu felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he was responsible for the negotiation of hundreds of millions of dollars. The key was that he had exceeded the task assigned by Nie Wei, so after seeing the boss, he was inevitably a little excited.

Now thinking about it, I was indeed a little too anxious. Nie Wei just got off the plane and it was time to rest. The contract was just one signature away. Moreover, the company has always had clear rewards and punishments, and his credit will definitely not fly away.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom that Nie Wei was riding drove all the way to the Four Seasons Hotel in the city center.

Until the car stopped, Nie Wei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. The driver got off the car and opened Nie Wei's door as soon as he got off, but Nie Wei did not get off directly, but looked at Li Jinyu sitting next to him.

"Jinyu, you did a good job this time." Nie Wei smiled and praised.

"I just tried my best." Li Jinyu responded excitedly. There are not many people in the company who can be praised by Nie Wei. Those who are praised by Nie Wei all hold important positions.

Just when Li Jinyu thought of this, Nie Wei spoke again.

"After this negotiation, you will have a month's vacation. Relax and go wherever you want. All food and accommodation will be reimbursed by the company. When your vacation is over, the company will arrange more important tasks for you." Nie Wei said this with a smile, and then looked at Li Jinyu who was excited and said earnestly: "Don't let me down."

"Boss, please rest assured that I can complete multiple tasks!" Li Jinyu's eyes lit up when he heard Nie Wei's words. He quickly put away his excited expression and assured Nie Wei very seriously and confidently.

Such a direct hint, how could Li Jinyu, who is so smart, not hear it? Nie Wei is obviously very satisfied with his negotiation work this time. It seems that when this vacation is over, it will be the time for him to be promoted.

"As heavy as Mount Tai?" Hearing Li Jinyu's assurance, Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure!" Li Jinyu nodded very seriously, without any joking intention at all.

The heavier the burden the leader puts on you, the more he values ​​your ability. At this time, of course, you should show your responsibility, rather than false modesty.

Nie Wei, who had already walked out of the car door, couldn't help but look at Li Jinyu carefully again.

In his thirties, he graduated from the Finance Department of Yale University, an Ivy League school, and minored in psychology. He is completely the most standard elite template of the contemporary era.

After entering Nie Wei's investment company, he also showed the ability to match his dazzling resume. In just three years, he has completed nearly twenty investments of tens of millions, and the return rate of each investment is also very good.

This is also the reason why Nie Wei agreed to assign him to be responsible for this negotiation.

However, today is indeed the first time Nie Wei and Li Jinyu have met, and in the short conversation, Nie Wei also discovered many highlights in Li Jinyu.

For example, his confidence and the youthful drive.

"Great attitude, keep it up." Nie Wei smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the hotel. He had less than four hours of rest time, so he had to get enough sleep as soon as possible to welcome his first Hollywood film company in a good mental state.

Nie Wei slept until noon, then got up and had lunch, then washed up. During this process, an assistant had already delivered the suit, shirt and tie that Nie Wei was going to wear in the afternoon to the room.

After finishing his preparations, Nie Wei set off from the hotel on time at 1 p.m. and was expected to arrive at Max Films in 45 minutes.

As the car drove on the road, Nie Wei lowered half of the window.

It was still drizzling outside, accompanied by a cool breeze. The moment Nie Wei opened the window, the fragrance of soil and leaves mixed with leaves was transmitted to Nie Wei's nose.

At that moment, the whole person felt as if his body and mind were purified, without the stench of car exhaust. This smell from nature is rare in the city.

"A-choo." A light sneeze suddenly sounded in the car, interrupting Nie Wei's thoughts. Turning around, he saw that it was the assistant who came out with him who sneezed. It seemed that he had opened the car window and it was caused by him.

"Mr. Nie, I'm sorry." The assistant apologized to Nie Wei embarrassedly. Nie Wei smiled at her and then closed the car window directly.

Seeing this scene, the assistant immediately showed a grateful look.

At 1:55 pm, the car that Nie Wei was riding in arrived at Max Films. The moment the Wayne brothers saw Nie Wei, their eyes widened.

Although they roughly guessed from Li Jinyu that the boss who wanted to acquire their company this time was an Asian, they did not expect that this person would be Nie Wei.

At this moment, the two brothers' hearts were quite complicated.

You know, the first newspaper to break out about their scandal was the Los Angeles Times, and this newspaper happened to have just been acquired by Nie Wei, which made the two brothers immediately think whether Nie Wei deliberately messed with them.

The Wayne brothers, who originally had a forced smile, could not even smile at this moment.

On the contrary, Nie Wei did not look like the initiator of this scandal at all. When he saw the Wayne brothers, he showed a bright smile, walked forward very enthusiastically, and took the initiative to say hello: "Harvey, Bob, hello, I am Nie Wei."

"Hello, Mr. Nie Wei." Harvey responded to Nie Wei's greeting as soon as possible, and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Nie Wei.

With Harvey's proof, Bob next to him also reached out and shook hands with Nie Wei.

"Max Films and Huaxia Film have a deep connection. I am very happy to take over such a culturally rich film company. If possible, I will sign the contract now, how about it?" Nie Wei asked the Wayne brothers with a smile, waiting for their answer.

The expressions of the Wayne brothers changed again and again. The Nie Wei in front of them with a "fake smile" was very likely the initiator of their scandal this time, and the great enemy who caused them to lose the company.

If they knew that Nie Wei was going to acquire the company, they would definitely not sell Max Films to Nie Wei.

But now is definitely not the beginning. The two sides have been negotiating continuously during this period and have achieved their desired goals. Coupled with the greedy faces of other acquirers during this period, the Wayne brothers looked at each other and found that they no longer had the courage to overturn the table.

"Okay, please come, I have prepared a place for you to sign the contract." After a short silence, Harvey finally spoke.

Hearing this, Nie Wei showed a winner's smile. The Wayne brothers really have the blood of businessmen. In the face of interests, personal feelings are not important to them.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
