Chapter 877 977. Small Gift
Max Films has been suspended for more than a month due to the scandal involving the Wayne brothers.
In some old six-story buildings, except for an old doorman at the door, there are only five or six employees in the company, and they were all brought in by the Wayne brothers to help with the signing of the contract today.
"The conference room where we are going to sign the contract is on the third floor. Please follow me." Harvey took Nie Weiyi and others in the elevator and quickly arrived at the conference room on the third floor.
The overall decoration of this conference room is very consistent with the company building. They are all in traditional American style. The conference room is very large and the chairs are all leather seats. They feel very comfortable when sitting on them. There are also several paintings hanging on the wall. Paintings by unknown artists.
Entering the conference room, the Wayne brothers and Nie Wei had no intention of chatting anymore. They took out the contracts and exchanged them for the other party's legal team to check.
For a while, the only sound in the conference room was the sound of lawyers turning over contract papers.
Half an hour later, Nie Wei's legal team took the lead in completing the inspection. After all, Nie Wei's legal team had six people, while the Wayne brothers only had two lawyers, so the efficiency was naturally not as good as Nie Wei's.
After about another twenty minutes, the lawyer on the Wayne brothers' side finally turned over the last page of the contract, and then nodded to the Wayne brothers for confirmation.
"Please sign." At the instruction of the staff, both parties actually signed their names on their own contracts, then exchanged the contracts and signed their names again.
On the other hand, Nie Wei's acquisition funds arrived as soon as the contract was signed. Seeing the US$470 million in the account, the two brothers finally looked better.
Excluding the nearly an hour spent checking the contract, it only took a few minutes to sign the contract and transfer the money. With the completion of the procedures, the owner of Max Films has also become Nie Wei, including the small building where he is currently located. They all belong to Nie Wei.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Nie Wei stood up and said with a smile.
"Happy cooperation." Harvey shook hands with Nie Wei, then hesitated, and finally asked reluctantly: "Mr. Nie, now that the deal has been completed, I want to know whether our news was actually written by you? "
As soon as these words were spoken, the staff on both sides who had already started to clean up all paused as if the pause button had been pressed. Everyone unconsciously focused their attention on the two bosses.
"That reporter started tracking you a year ago." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
"Thank you." Harvey smiled helplessly and said thank you. After all, Nie Wei's original intention to explain to him was not bad, at least it gave him a little comfort.
Bob was silent on the sidelines. He was not satisfied with Nie Wei's answer, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, they have no friendship with Nie Wei, and the other party naturally has no need to help him suppress the scandal. Of course, he understands, and his attitude of being unhappy with Nie Wei will not change.
Nie Wei didn't care about Bob's indifferent attitude. Max Films now belonged to her, and the Wayne brothers were about to quit Hollywood completely. So what if they decided that they did this?
Now that they are gone, how much influence will they have left in Hollywood? And aren't they afraid of Nie Wei's revenge?
You must know that Nie Wei's worth is dozens of times higher than theirs. The key is that their brothers now have huge sums of money but they are like duckweeds. At this time, let alone trouble Nie Wei, the first thing they probably have to consider is how to keep their hands. of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Nie Wei did not stay longer at Max Films and gave the Wayne brothers an afternoon of viewing time. He planned to wait until the Wayne brothers completely left tomorrow before inspecting this company of his own.
"Bob, I think there must be Nie Wei's influence behind our matter." Harvey said to Bob beside him while waiting for his assistant to clean up his office.
"I think so too." Bob frowned and replied: "I even suspect that he was behind it. Damn bastard, this cunning Chinese, he defrauded our Max Films."
Bob punched the corridor wall hard with his fist, and the huge echo startled Harvey.
"Hey, brother, calm down!" Harvey grabbed Bob, who was about to hit him again, and advised: "This is already our best result, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with the Chinese or not, That’s it for now, okay?”
"But I'm not willing to do it."
"So what if we don't give in? Let's imagine what we are going to do next. I don't want to go home and retire so soon."
The lonely conversation of the two brothers echoed in the empty corridor, which was particularly lonely and desolate.
On the other hand, after Nie Wei left Max Films, he did not go back to the hotel directly. Instead, he took the team to a restaurant that had been booked long ago to hold a celebration banquet.
When the group arrived at the restaurant, everyone had already arranged everything. Nie Wei went directly to the stage to speak. In addition to encouraging the employees who participated in the negotiation, he also announced the rewards that had been prepared on the spot.
This not only provided spiritual encouragement, but also provided practical rewards. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic.
However, Nie Wei did not stay here for long. After clinking glasses and drinking some wine with several major negotiators headed by Li Jinyu, Nie Wei excused himself because of fatigue.
The main reason is that Nie Wei knows that these people will definitely not have fun while he is around.
After leaving the restaurant, Nie Wei did not return to the hotel, but asked the driver to take him to Irvine, where he wanted to buy an independent villa for Shu Chang as a gift.
Knowing that Nie Wei, a wealthy man, was going to buy a house, the manager of the real estate company that built this villa area was waiting here early. Not only that, he also received an order from the superior head office, asking him to persuade Nie Wei to buy a house in their villa area, and allowing the manager to give the maximum discount the company could afford.
Of course, they also knew that the discount was a lot of money for ordinary people, but it was nothing for Nie Wei, but the sincerity that should be expressed must be expressed.
After all, as long as Nie Wei stayed in his villa area, he could use Nie Wei to do a promotion, so that his community could be upgraded by several levels in an instant.
It took a full hour for the car to drive to Irvine.
The scenery by the sea was very attractive to Nie Wei. In his impression, Shu Chang liked the house by the sea very much. She felt that facing the sea would make her heart broad.
The villa area that Nie Wei looked at this time did not have any big villas, but only small villas of about 2,000 to 3,000 square feet.
At present, the real estate market in the United States is still very depressed, which is why the real estate company attaches so much importance to Nie Wei. After all, high-quality customers like Nie Wei are too rare, and his appearance may even save the housing prices in their villa area.
"Mr. Nie Wei, the villa in front is the most advantageous location in our villa area. All these houses face the sea. Less than 500 meters away from the villa is the ecological park developed by our company. In addition, do you see the open space above the villa? We are also planning to build a multi-functional sports field there."
"In addition, the community hospital in our community has been established, and in the near future, there will be a large supermarket nearby."
"This is also a school district house. There are many high-quality schools nearby. If your children want to study abroad in the future, this is a very suitable choice."
"And you should have seen when you came that the security force invested by our company is very strong. There will be a patrol car passing by almost every ten minutes, which can fully guarantee the safety of users here."
...
The gold medal sales manager arranged by the company kept introducing to Nie Wei how good his house is and how complete the supporting facilities are.
Nie Wei listened very seriously. Since it was a gift for Shu Chang, Nie Wei naturally hoped to pick the best house.
Under the leadership of the sales manager, Nie Wei visited three villas in succession and finally decided on a three-story villa of about 3,500 square feet.
After selecting the target, the rest was much simpler. The sales manager directly quoted the lowest price on his side, which was half-sale and half-giveaway. Nie Wei would not buy at the original price like a nouveau riche to show that he was rich. Since the other party gave a discount, Nie Wei naturally accepted it with pleasure.
In less than half an hour, the house sale contract was signed. Of course, there are still a lot of procedures to go through, but these can be handed over to his own lawyer team in the United States.
All Nie Wei had to do was take out the SLR camera and take a lot of photos of this villa that already belonged to Shu Chang.
When Nie Wei bought the villa, Thomas had been waiting for so long that the flowers had withered. He knew that Nie Wei was going to sign a contract with the Wayne brothers today. Although he thought that there was no problem with this matter 99%, he could not stand up to the possibility of one.
What he was most worried about was Nie Wei's identity as the owner of the Los Angeles Times. He was afraid that the Wayne brothers would not be able to suppress their anger and overturn the table after seeing that it was Nie Wei.
"No, no, since Nie Wei is here, he must be sure. I have to trust the boss."
"The Wayne brothers are known for their hot tempers in the circle. They won't really tear up the contract on the spot, right?"
"No, they won't be so irrational."
"But what if... Ah ah ah ah, why hasn't Nie Wei called yet?"
Thomas' wife looked at her husband's restless look, and couldn't help shaking her head helplessly, and advised: "Thomas, you should calm down. You are not the way you are about to become the president of Max. I don't think Mr. Nie will like you now."
"Sorry, I understand what you said, but I can't calm down." Thomas replied a little irritably.
"Thomas, you don't need to think too much. Mr. Nie is responsible for the current affairs. What you should consider is what you should do if you become the president of Max Films. Don't let these things that don't belong to you disturb your heart. Do you understand?" Thomas' wife half-squatted beside Thomas and comforted him earnestly.
In her opinion, her husband was obviously mentally unbalanced at this moment. He cared too much about the position of president, so he was so worried.
So the wife tried to stop him from thinking about the bad side, but occupied his mind with work plans, so that he would not have room to worry about gains and losses.
"Dear, can you talk to me about how you want to develop this company if you become the president?" After thinking about it, the wife took the initiative to open a topic.
Sure enough, Thomas was immediately interested in hearing this topic. After all, this is what he has been thinking about the most recently, but he has not become the president, and he cannot tell others for confidentiality, so he has been holding it in his heart.
What he didn't expect was that his wife, who was usually not interested in these things, actually took the initiative to ask about this matter today. Facing his wife, he naturally had nothing to hide, and immediately wanted to tell her all his thoughts.
At this time, his wife tried her best to play the role of a very attentive listener. Although she didn't understand many of the professional terms her husband said, it didn't prevent her from showing her admiration for her husband.
Moreover, after 20 years of married life, she knew how to pick up her husband's words. There was no need to discuss professional knowledge with him. Knowledge gave him a reason to continue talking and let him talk to his heart's content. Isn't that good?
More than an hour passed unknowingly. When the phone rang and interrupted Thomas's words, he actually felt that he hadn't finished.
Of course, it was only a moment, and soon his attention was all on the phone.
"BOSS, this is Thomas." After answering the phone, Thomas sat up unconsciously, as if a soldier who had just entered the new barracks was reporting to the general.
"Come to Max Films on time at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will officially announce your appointment as president in front of all the employees." Nie Wei simply explained and hung up the phone.
But for Thomas, this sentence was enough.
"Dear, tomorrow at 10 o'clock, I will be the president of Max Films!!!" Thomas hugged his wife tightly, and then used all his strength to pick her up, causing his wife to exclaim.
Let's not talk about the things that cannot be described in words.
Max Films still has nearly 600 employees. Nie Wei is not clear about their abilities and character, but in order for the company to resume operations as soon as possible, Nie Wei is not going to move any of them for the time being.
As for the future identification of those who are loyal to the company and those who are eating for free, this task naturally falls on Thomas.
At 10 o'clock the next morning, more than 95% of the employees of Max Films came to the company, and the remaining 5% basically all asked for leave in advance because of things. There were also two staff members who did not respond after receiving the notice. Nie Wei naturally added these two people to the blacklist.
Of course, this will also be handed over to Thomas to deal with. After all, a new official has three fires when he takes office, and these two guys are very suitable for Thomas to use.
"Thomas, are you ready?" Nie Wei looked at his watch. There was less than a minute left before ten o'clock, so he asked Thomas beside him.
