Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

With the addition of 30% of the shares of Marina Restaurant, Chen Zhao finally agreed to the deal worth US$700 million.

Of course, the money is not paid in full immediately.

After signing the contract, Chen Zhao immediately transferred the first US$150 million to Nafa Twain, and then transferred the remaining US$550 million to Nafa within three months. .Dunn.

This money can help Nafa Tang En solve his urgent needs first, so that he will not be hacked to death while walking on the road.

But in the next three months, Chen Zhao needs to raise US$550 million.

…

As soon as Chen Zhao returned home, he received a strange phone call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhao Chen?"

"I am, who are you?"

"I am the executive director of DSN Films, and my name is Mark Bonin."

"Hello, Mr. Mark, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you made a deal with Nafa Tang En today and bought all the copyrights from him."

"Mr. Mark, you are really well-informed." Chen Zhao had long expected that the other party would take the initiative to find him.

But Chen Zhao didn't expect that the other party would be so fast.

Less than two hours after he signed the contract with Nafa Tang En, DSN Film Company already knew the news.

Mark Bonin tried to use a calm tone and said: "Mr. Chen, do you know that what you are doing is very unethical?"

DSN company has been preparing for the rights to those few movies for half a year.

Even in Nafa Twain's debt crisis, DSN Company was involved.

Now it was time to harvest, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, I would be intercepted.

Anyone else would not feel happy.

"Uh... morals? Mr. Mark, did I break any laws?" Chen Zhao sneered.

"Mr. Chen, I hope you understand what kind of opponent you are facing." Mark Bonin threatened.

laugh--

Chen Zhao laughed with a bit of sarcasm.

It is true that he and DSN Company are not on the same level, but DSN Film Company and DSN Media Company are not in the same system, and Chen Zhao, DSN Film Company and DSN Media Company are not in the same industry, so Chen Zhao is not afraid of them at all.

Just like Hollywood is not afraid of the financial giants on Wall Street.

Even if the two parties are not on the same level, they have their own rules in different industries.

Chen Zhao is currently in the beer industry. He dare not say that he is invincible, but at least he is among the top.

What can DSN Films do to hold him back?

Even if the DSN media company behind him takes action, it still can't do anything to him.

"Mr. Mark, if you are here to question us, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue talking." Chen Zhao said calmly.

Mark Bonin also used his connections to check Chen Zhao’s background, but he didn’t know the details.

I only know that Chen Zhao is very rich, and the bank's credit rating is the highest, even higher than him.

Mark Bonin is just a senior professional manager, but Chen Zhao is not comparable to him in terms of personal wealth.

This puts Mark Bonin in a very difficult position.

DSN Film Company is able to run rampant in Hollywood, even acting in a domineering manner with other collaborators.

But once he left Hollywood, he was at his wits' end.

After all, DSN Film Company is just a film company, not an evil force.

But now the copyrights of two very promising movie series are in the hands of Chen Zhao.

This makes DSN Film Company even more helpless.

Especially for "Thief", DSN Film Company is now preparing the seventh part, with an initial investment of more than 30 million US dollars.

Originally, Mark Bonin wanted to wait until he got the rights to "Thief" and then start filming immediately.

But now, Nafa Twain has sold the copyright to others.

In other words, Chen Zhao's say in this series is the same as that of DSN Film Company.

As long as Chen Zhao does not agree to the filming, this series of movies cannot be filmed.

Not only was the initial investment of 30 million US dollars wasted, but also 50% of the copyright in their hands was lost.

The loss was too great, and even he, the executive director, could not bear the consequences.

The domineering words and deeds just now were actually Mark Bonin's exploratory tactics.

"Mr. Chen, tell me, what do you want?"

"I am a businessman, and the first thing I have to ensure is that my interests are not infringed." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to invest in our movie? I can use my power to give you the qualification to enter the movie."

"Haha..." Chen Zhao laughed.

Hollywood is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Even if an outsider like Chen Zhao enters the scene, he will still have no bones left to eat.

Hollywood has Hollywood rules. Even if it is a profitable movie, the movie company can still make a loss in the accounts.

Chen Zhao's desire to get money from Hollywood is simply a fantasy.

Chen Zhao has never thought of making money from this.

Chen Zhao's intention in buying the copyright was to become a second-rate dealer and make quick money.

Mark Bonin cursed secretly, as expected, rich people are hard to fool.

"Mr. Chen, please sell the copyright in your hands to our company, as if our company owes you a favor."

Qnm's favors, words coming out of the mouth of a senior executive of such a large company, are almost like farts.

Chen Zhao only accepted this favor because he was confused.

"Mr. Mark, let's talk about something practical. You set a price. If the price is right, then the copyright will be yours."

"For US$400 million, I only want 50% of the copyright of the "Thief" series."

"Goodbye." Chen Zhao hung up the phone directly.

Does this guy think he is being taken advantage of?

Even if the copyright is ruined in his own hands, Chen Zhao will not sell the copyright at a loss.

Mark Bonin's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the phone with blind tone.

The price just now was originally a tentative bid.

In fact, he knew the specific price at which Chen Zhao bought those copyrights, because Nafa Tang En had no intention of hiding it.

But he didn't expect Chen Zhao to hang up the phone so decisively.

Mark Bonin called Chen Zhao again.

"Mr. Chen, we can talk again."

"The copyright for "The Thief" is US$600 million, even if it's a penny less, if you don't accept it, then I'd rather let the copyright rot in my hands."

"Mr. Chen, US$600 million is simply too high. We can jointly invest and produce..."

"I'm sorry, I don't have any confidence in your credit. Maybe the money I invested in the movie can be wasted if you change your ways. Why should I trust you?"

For example, DSN Film Company only needs to get a bill. The original production cost is US$100 million, but it directly quotes a production cost of US$300 million. There is nothing he can do.
