I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 160
Li Zhenyu and Martin were on the sidelines, fantasizing about the magical world in fiction.

Claire and Gasko also started their first round confrontation. Li Zhenyu wanted to get all the authorizations for Martin's works, which became excessive greed in Gasko's mouth.

"8000 million US dollars, and there will be surrounding dividends in the future. If this is also called greed, those guys in Hollywood should be hanged on the streetlights."

As for Claire's description, Gasco accepted it all. Of course, he knew that the condition was not harsh.

But striving for better conditions for the employer is the purpose of his coming here and the meaning of his existence.

Why would Martin pay a lot of money to hire himself if he didn't do anything.

Glancing at the two people chatting happily, Gasco pretended to be generous and said, "Well, for the sake of their being friends... let's talk about the dividend ratio."

Claire knew he was tough, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.

As time went on, the argument in the living room grew louder, and the two almost quarreled.

Martin was a little irritable when his thoughts were frequently interrupted.

Li Zhenyu also said helplessly: "It seems that we can only talk about this today, let's talk about the business first and then discuss the follow-up part."

Martin nodded, but it was as if thousands of feathers were gently scratching his heart.

This feeling is too uncomfortable!

"Gasco." Martin stopped Gasco, who was still arguing, and called him aside to discuss in a low voice.

Li Zhenyu also came to Claire's side, smiled firmly and said: "It seems that there will be a result."

"Martin will put pressure on him?" Claire thought.

Li Zhenyu nodded, as an answer to her question.

This made Claire heave a sigh of relief. Gasco was not a small person to deal with, and she hadn't been able to take advantage of it until now.

However, Claire has been clinging to the bottom line, and this is also the key point where the two argued until they quarreled.

Now, with Martin's intervention, I believe the situation will change.

For her, this is good news.

"Boss, how did you convince him?"

In Claire's view, Martin must have been influenced by him to make such a decision.

Li Zhenyu smiled slightly and said, "I think he did this out of our friendship."

Only he understood that this change came from 'Martin's friendship. '

In Martin's heart, he has become the most important friend in his life, bar none.

"Martin, you can't..."

"I have already decided that this condition is not bad. I don't want my friend's interests to be harmed because of me."

"Your kindness will kill you."

The debate between the two gradually came to an end. Li Zhenyu didn't hear everything clearly, but he heard a few words one after another.

Looking at Carlisle's questioning gaze, he nodded firmly again.

Soon, Martin and Gasco came over.

The former has a serious face, while the latter has a somewhat unwilling and helpless expression on his face.

"Li, are you ready for the contract?"

"Of course, it's just that the conditions haven't been negotiated yet."

"No, that's enough."

Martin shook his head and told him to sign the contract according to the plan just discussed.

The copyright fee of 8000 million U.S. dollars, and the 12% revenue share of the follow-up peripherals, he can sign now.

"Wait, I'm going to change the contract now."

Claire's assistant went to revise the sharing ratio in the contract, and the few people who stayed at the scene toasted together to celebrate the upcoming cooperation in advance.

"Li, I hope the project can start as soon as possible. I want everyone to see that wonderful world as soon as possible."

"Yes, Martin..."

Li Zhenyu assured him that the 'Ice Fire' project would be launched within two years.

"Two years?" Martin frowned, obviously not satisfied.

"It's not easy to perfectly present that world. There is a lot of preparatory work that needs to be done in advance. Martin, you don't want to leave regrets in your work!"

This reason satisfies Martin. Since it is for better presentation of the work, it is naturally worth the time to wait.

When the assistant came back with the contract, Claire and Gasko made sure there was no problem.

Li Zhenyu signed the contract first, and then handed the pen to Martin.

After signing the contract, amber Yamazaki single malt whiskey was added to the coffee table glass again.

"Collaborative entertainment~"

After discussing the business, Claire and Gasco's task was completed, and the two left the villa one after another.

Martin stayed and wanted to continue the previous discussion with Li Zhenyu.

The two chatted from day to night, and they continued to talk non-stop during dinner, until it was getting darker, and Martin reluctantly left after his reminder.

"Martin, we can use emails to communicate in the future. If you have any ideas, I will let you know as soon as possible."

"Lee, I knew you were a reliable and respectable friend."

Martin hugged him warmly, waved his hands, got into the car parked on the side of the road and drove towards the city center.

With no one in the way, Liu Meina finally had time to pester him.

She ran forward and hugged his arm, and was about to say something when the phone in her pocket rang suddenly.

Seeing the caller ID, Liu Meina pouted and hung up.

But in the next second, the other party called again: "Anihasai, your cute and well-behaved daughter is not here. Now it is a vicious and rebellious pregnant daughter. Please don't call again. That's it, I'm going to die."

"Liu Meina, do you have to let me freeze all your cards to be obedient?" The threat came from the ear, causing Liu Meina, who put down the phone and pressed her thumb on the hang up button, to stop.

Annoyed, she stuck it to her ear again, "You said, don't threaten me with this."

"You also said that you will listen to me and do what I say."

Seeing her angry expression, although Li Zhenyu didn't know the inside story, he probably guessed what was going on.

Small conflicts between mother and daughter should be resolved by themselves.

Stretching out his hand to pinch her plump and moist face, Li Zhenyu pointed to the room and said silently: "I'm going out for a while, wait for me at home."

Liu Meina wanted to ask 'what are you going to do,' but she still had to deal with her mother on the phone, so she nodded reluctantly, tiptoed and kissed him on the face.

"What's that voice, Liu Meina, where are you?"

"I didn't tell you..."

Guilty turned around and walked aside, Li Zhenyu also walked quickly towards the room.

He still wants to meet someone, and the other party wrote to him in the afternoon asking him to meet.

Li Zhenyu originally wanted to set it up tomorrow, but the other party will fly to Georgia early tomorrow morning to attend the second half of the annual business meeting held by the fabric merchant.

Therefore, the meeting time can only be arranged in the evening.

The address is the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the open-air bar on the 12th floor on the top floor.

When Li Zhenyu arrived, there were already two empty cups in front of Alice Li.

"Alice."

Li Zhenyu raised his hand to say hello, and sat across from her with a smile on his face.

Alice Lee glanced at the slender watch on her wrist, "You're late, but it's okay, what do you want to drink?"

"Mojito."

A rum-based medium-strength cocktail that is considered to be more masculine.

"I'll have a drink too."

Alice Lee had already drank two cups, and she wanted to change the third cup.

"The scenery here is really nice."

The two are located close to the fence, and they can overlook half of Hollywood with just a little probe.

The lights at the foot of the mountain are brilliant, the voices of people are buzzing, and fireworks explode at high altitude from time to time, illuminating most of the sky.

Hollywood at night is a paradise for revelers.

"Yes!" Alice Lee echoed with emotion.

Afterwards, she withdrew her distracted gaze and talked about the reason for inviting him this time.

Alice Lee has a sum of money, which has been handed over to investment companies.

Recently, she wants to change to another company to manage her money. The financial crisis has greatly reduced the income of the previous institution, and the profit is no longer enough to satisfy her.

"How much is this money?"

"2 billion."

"Dollar?"

Alice Lee put down her wine glass, lightly brushed the short hair that fell to her eyes with her fingers, and said with a smile, "If it's Korean won, how dare I come to you."

This sentence is not deliberately flattering him, Alice Lee is just stating a fact.

2 million won...

She was too embarrassed to show her hand, let alone find time to invite him to meet here.

"Don't think about it again?" Li Zhenyu wanted to know how much she had heard and how much determination she had.

"Don't think about it, I will stay in the country for 2 days, let people prepare the procedures, and sign the contract after returning."

Li Zhenyu joked: "Don't ask anything, dare to hand over 2 million US dollars to me, it seems that you have already understood enough details."

"I just heard that you never let your friends down."

"are we friends?"

Li Zhenyu stretched out his hand and pointed between the two, when did this friendship begin.

Alice Li picked up the wine glass, put down her crossed legs, and sat beside him around the coffee table: "Now, it's all right."
