War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 273 Auntie's Half-vote Veto

At noon on the second day after the agreement was negotiated, Wei Ran, who was in a hangover, was picked up by his aunt Zhou Shujin, and rushed to the studio in a daze, where he signed three thick agreements one after another in a daze. One name after another was pressed and handprints were thrown into the bedroom on the second floor of the studio by Professor Alexei and Jima.

By the time he fully woke up from his drunkenness, the setting sun outside the window had already been trampled by the statue of Mother Motherland on Mamayev Gang.

"You're finally awake, and I'm going to ask your uncle to take you to the hospital to sober up." Aunt Zhou Shujin poured Wei Ran a glass of gin while speaking, "Drink it, sober up, I have something to tell you .”

Wei Ran yawned, picked up the wine glass, drank the cold liquid in one gulp, then rubbed his face vigorously, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

"This is the agreement you signed at noon today, I hope you still have an impression."

Zhou Shujin handed one of the agreements to Wei Ran with a smile, then sat on the edge of the long table, and said with a smile, "After yesterday's negotiation, this agreement has been modified, you just need to remember the most important few points. Just click."

"What time?" Wei Ran glanced at the "20%" circled in pencil on the agreement and asked.

"First of all, you still hold 20% of the original equity of this company, and it will not be diluted due to later operating adjustments or capital injections. There is no change in this point.

Correspondingly, every year you need to provide a good story with a real historical background. At this point, there is no fixed standard of measurement. Ms. Dalia said that she believes in your ability. "

Seeing Wei Ran nodded, Zhou Shujin continued, "Secondly, if you don't participate in the daily operation and management of this company, you don't have to worry about the debts caused by the company's poor management, but you must attend necessary business activities as the operator of this company .”

"What else?" Wei Ran simply put aside the agreement in his hand, and sat back and waited for his aunt to explain to him. What he just said was originally placed on the table by Teacher Dalia.

"Here are the changes"

There was a hint of hidden pride on Zhou Shujin's face, "First, in this company from now on, I will be your legal adviser with an annual salary of 100 rubles."

"I have caused you trouble." Wei Ran hurriedly thanked him, this is a good thing he could not have wished for.

Zhou Shujin shook her head and continued, "Second, you have half the veto power over the company's operations."

"Half-vote veto?" Wei Ran looked at Zhou Shujin suspiciously, "What is half-vote veto?"

"Simply put, this company, which doesn't even have a name for the time being, will notify you of any decision in the future. At the same time, you also have the right to stop any decision and ask for rectification until you are satisfied, or you can change it. until both parties are satisfied.

But like I just said, it's just a half-veto, so you only have the right to ask for an adjustment, not a permanent stop. "

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, but Wei Ran was once clever about doing business, "So you can ask for rectification indefinitely?"

"Theoretically yes"

Zhou Shujin affirmed Wei Ran's thoughts with a puzzled expression, "I don't know whether that Ms. Dalia was negligent or whether she had enough self-confidence, or I was negligent in other aspects, in short, the other party did not make up for this. loophole."

What kind of loophole is this.
Wei Ran clenched his back molars secretly, Auntie didn't know what was going on, didn't he know it himself?This is obviously because Teacher Dalia is absolutely sure that she can use other physical means to prevent herself from exploiting this loophole!

"Take it as the other party's negligence. Are there any other adjustments?" Wei Ran recovered and continued to ask.

Zhou Shujin smiled, "The third point, in the future, for any film and television works produced by this company, you have the right to appoint any actor who meets the requirements to play any role except the protagonist, but there is only one role. And it must be on the premise of not affecting the final effect."

"What's the use of this?" Wei Ran looked at his aunt puzzled, what is this?Bring money into the group?Or have you given yourself the right to take the opportunity to unspoken rules for actors?

"It's just the most cost-effective one among the benefit exchange options offered by the other party."

Zhou Shujin said indifferently, "There is also the last item. You have the right to check the company's accounts at any time and invite professionals to audit them. Of course, this is the right you have as a shareholder, but it is clearly written in on the agreement."

Speaking of which, Zhou Shujin clicked on the agreement on the table, "You find a place to keep this agreement, it might be worth a lot of money in the future."

"I hope so"

Wei Ran picked up the agreement and replied, a group of KGBs had a brainstorm and wanted to get a movie company, this job is so unreliable, as for whether it will make money, he actually doesn't have much hope.

"Okay, if you have any doubts in the future, you can ask me. Now you are the owner of a film company. When you make money in the future, remember to raise my salary."

Zhou Shujin teased Wei Ran, changed the subject and asked, "Dalia said that she gave you the right to name this company, do you have any ideas?"

Wei Ran pointed to the roof and said casually, "Just use the name of this studio, Time, Time Films, Time Studio, or Time Film Studio, whatever they want to add the suffix."

"I hope to see a movie with this name on TV in the future"

Zhou Shujin continued to make a joke, then got up and said, "Okay, I'm going to work at a travel agency, so I'll drink less in the future."

Sending off the aunt with gratitude, Wei Ran picked up the agreement on the table and looked through it again, then locked it in the safe.Although this company has been established, what to do next has nothing to do with me.

After taking a cold shower to wake himself up, Wei Ran locked the shutter door of the studio, took a small bag full of cash, and strolled towards Nicholas' home.

When Dima, who was wearing an apron, opened the door, Daria, who was playing chess with Nicholas, immediately waved to him with a smile, "Our partner is here."

"Teacher Dalia, please stop teasing me." Wei Ran helplessly handed the small bag in his hand to the other party, "This is the tuition fee for the next year."

Daria took the bag, opened it, looked at it, handed it to Nicholas across the table, and asked with a smile, "Have you decided on the name of the company?"

"Time" Wei Ran replied bluntly, "I don't care about the suffix after Time."

"The name is barely okay, what about the logo?" Dalia asked, seeming to attach great importance to this matter.

Wei Ran spread his hands, "It's only been a day, I can think of the name, it's not bad."

"It's true." Dalia nodded solemnly, "Get the logo out as soon as possible, and leave the rest to us. Remember to provide a good story before the end of the year."

"The story is there now, but someone might need to talk it out."

Wei Ran pulled a chair over and sat down, roughly told the story of the desert in North Africa, and then briefly introduced the descendants of the survivors after the war, and finally said, "But how to make these people Later generations have agreed to our use of this story, and someone may need to talk to them about it."

"Let Gorman go," said Nicholas, who had been sitting by the side watching the excitement, "No one is more suitable than him."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Nicholas." Wei Ran had no choice but to remind, "We just need someone to negotiate, not to torture those people."

"Extorting a confession by torture?"

Nicholas laughed dumbly, "Gorman has a doctorate in psychology. He is not only a psychiatrist, but also an expert negotiator. There is no need for him to use torture for such a small matter."

"Uh..." Wei Ran grinned, and had to admit that he still underestimated the old guy who brought him all kinds of horrible memories after all.

After confirming the candidate for the negotiation in a few words, Dalia continued the topic just now and said, "This story is good, the scene required is simple, the props and actors are not too many, and we don't need to go to North Africa at all, we can just find a desert to complete the filming. Jima, would you be interested in coming to play a cameo role after finishing the filming in Finland?"

"Of course I'm interested!" Jima, who was busy preparing dinner, replied without thinking. "I told Victor before that I think I can play that German reporter Per."

"Since you are interested, I will add an acting class to you when you return to Hongqi Forest Farm."

Dalia made the decision to add classes with a smile, but Jima subconsciously felt a chill on the back of her neck, and couldn't help wondering whether her decision was too hasty.

"Leave the filmmaking thing aside"

Dalia changed the topic in a timely manner, turned her head and pointed the finger at Wei Ran again, "It's been a week, I asked you to learn English by yourself before, how is the progress now?"

"Uh..." Wei Ran grinned, "I haven't started yet, English is too difficult for me."

"On Labor Day next year, you will be required to recite Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream" in English with a British accent and English with an American accent at Hongqi Forest Farm, and answer questions about various arguments in the speech in English. "

Mr. Nicholas said again without warning, "If I am still alive, I will go to the scene to listen to it. For every wrong word or intonation, you need to pay a thousand dollars to buy holiday gifts for everyone."

"It's only been less than a year." Wei Ran said in embarrassment, he had already begun to ponder in his heart, whether to find a way to get the equipment of the US military in World War II and try to see if there is a language task.

"I'm 90 years old"

Nicholas said with a smile, "I have the confidence to live until Labor Day next year, why don't you have the confidence to learn English in these few months?"

"I will try my best"

Wei Ran said in embarrassment that this matter is not difficult for him, but it is not easy. As for whether he can learn English, it all depends on God's will.
