Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After leaving Seagate, Ofer Lebier personally sent Chen Zhao out of the door.

Although Chen Zhao prefers Seagate Yachting Company, if Seagate Yachting Company fails to come up with a design that satisfies Chen Zhao, then Chen Zhao may change companies.

Therefore, before signing the contract, Ofer Kebil needed to serve Chen Zhao like a grandson.

Chen Zhao left Seagate, picked up the phone again, and dialed another phone number.

"Hey, Mr. Francis, do you have time now?"

"Of course, where should we meet?"

"Let's go to the outdoor cafe on North Street."

"I'll be there in half an hour."

Chen Zhao was sitting in an outdoor cafe.

Not long after, a man with messy hair sat in front of Chen Zhao.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen? I am Francis Pavinco."

"Hello Francis." Chen Zhao shook hands with Francis: "I heard from Rasfa that your business is very extensive, right?"

"I take most of the business." Francis scratched his already messy hair.

Francis's suit still had oil stains on it, and his beard had probably not been shaved for a few days.

Francis seemed to notice Chen Zhao's eyes and grinned: "Do you think I'm slovenly? Are you doubting my ability?"

It seemed that this was not the first time he encountered this situation, and he was not surprised by Chen Zhao's scrutinizing gaze.

Chen Zhao turned his head. He didn't doubt Francis' ability, but he... had bad breath.

"Let's get to the point." Chen Zhao said: "I have a subordinate who may have been deceived. This is his information. Please help me investigate the woman he has been dating recently. The more detailed the identity of this woman, the better. , this is a deposit of US$10,000, and if you can investigate to my satisfaction, I will give you another US$20,000 afterwards.”

"Mr. Chen, you are mistaken. My price is not necessarily US$30,000." Francis reached for the bag of US$10,000.

Chen Zhao suddenly reached out and held the bag: "Okay, tell me how much it will cost."

Francis pulled twice but did not pull the bag: "It depends on the difficulty of the person being investigated. If the person is a Hollywood star, then two to thirty thousand dollars will not be able to solve the problem."

"Since you think it's not enough, our cooperation ends here, and I'll find someone else." Chen Zhao said calmly, and at the same time withdrew the bag containing the banknotes: "This cup of coffee is for me. Goodbye."

"No, no... wait..." Francis obviously needed money. Seeing how readily Chen Zhao gave him money, he thought he might be able to put on airs and get more money.

As a result, Chen Zhao didn't accept his trick at all and walked away directly.

Francis quickly grabbed Chen Zhao: "I was joking just now, I was joking. I am very satisfied with this remuneration, very satisfied. Not to mention Hollywood stars, even if the person you want me to investigate is the person in the White House, I I’ll also investigate him for you.”

"Oh, then help me investigate the guy in the White House."

"Uh... don't be joking, Mr. Chen. Regarding your request, I will investigate and find out the information I believe as soon as possible." Francis looked at Chen Zhao seriously.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"That...deposit..."

Chen Zhao took out the money-making bag again and threw it in front of Francis: "Goodbye."

At this time, Chen Zhao received another call from Rasfa: "Chen, come to my house for a drink... By the way, I don't have any beer at home. You can bring some beer on the way."

"Fake Squid, that beer is a trial product. Only one batch has been produced. It will take some time for official production. Where do you want me to get the beer now? No."

Chen Zhao has so many friends, so he sent two boxes of this one, and two boxes of this one. In addition, the association headquarters also sent dozens of boxes, but they are all gone now.

Unless Chen Zhao asks the brewery to open the production line now, is this possible?

The first batch of trial products is to check whether there are any problems with the production line, as well as the texture, taste, etc. of the product.

"Does your trial product only have three cases of beer?"

"No, there are hundreds of boxes, and most of them are used for promotion."

"Then bring some more of that meat." Rasfa said greedily.

"That kind of meat is gone. I still have some octopus meat. Do you want it?"

"Okay, okay, octopus too."

Rasfa said reluctantly: "Chen, where do you get your supplies from?"

"I can't say, I can't break this rule."

Chen Zhao first went home to change the truck, and then selected some ingredients.

However, the ingredients Chen Zhao chooses are the kind that cannot be seen as a whole.

Take the octopus for example. Chen Zhao would only cut off a part of it, and people who didn't know would just think that the octopus should be very big.

Chen Zhao also has an even more top-notch ingredient, phoenix.

However, Phoenix Chen Zhao did not share it, only people from the association ate it.

The phoenix can improve some magic power and physical fitness, and it has super high magic power itself, so the taste after cooking is better than ordinary magical creatures.

Little Gelin and Fali both liked the soup made from the bones of the phoenix very much.

Chen Zhao arrived at Rasfa's manor, and Steven was also here.

"Steven, you're here again, aren't you staying in the studio?"

Chen Zhaoyou remembers that before Steven's last movie was released, Steven spent half a month editing the film without sleep.

"I have plenty of time now, and I don't have to be so anxious at all." Steven was in a very relaxed mood.

"By the way Steven, the first trailer has been released, and the response is not very high." Rasfa said: "In addition, the theater chain is still negotiating."

"Then I don't care. This is your business. As for theaters, our share cannot be less than 65%."

"I'm afraid this is difficult. The theater chain has always claimed that this is not produced by the Big Six, so they have always insisted on taking 40% of the box office."

"40% of the box office? I will never agree to this group of vampires. This is my work. Isn't my name worth 65%?"

"They feel that the theme of your new movie is similar to "The Wild One", so they feel that you are resting on your laurels and may not be as successful as "The Wild One."

"Then they'll just wait and see!" Steven shouted angrily.

But Steven also knows that theaters are always the terminal of the film industry, and it will not be good for any of them if they fall out.

"Don't worry, the release date hasn't been set yet anyway, and distribution companies in four countries have already contacted PLM and want to introduce your movie," Rasfa said.

"If it still doesn't work, then let's release it overseas first." Steven said.

Rasfa has no good solution. Original themes generally do not do well at the box office in Hollywood and even in the film industry around the world. This is why Hollywood remakes, sequels, or adaptations of famous novels are now popular.
