Although it is very unpromising...... To be precise, she is particularly optimistic about her boss's judgment of "Bodyguard", Rosemary admits that "Bodyguard" is a good movie, but she still believes that the reason why her boss is so confident in "Bodyguard" is completely out of the psychology of "their own children are good no matter what".

That's it!

Anyway, even if this movie loses, it won't lose much money, so the boss can toss it as much as he likes.

Rosemary, who thought she had figured it out, suddenly calmed down, and had been following the movie "Bodyguard" for a long time, Rosemary had changed from an outsider who didn't understand the film and television industry, especially film distribution, to a rookie in the industry, and now her boss planned to play a bet with Twentieth Century Fox, she thought about it and asked, "If you bet...... How to bet?"

I always have to draw the bar from the boss so that I can talk to Kevin Reynolds.

"You tell Reynolds that if 'The Bodyguard' falls below $40 million at the box office, we'll cover all the publicity and distribution costs!"

Less than $40 million at the box office, and we cover the entire distribution cost?

The first instruction given by Chen Geng frightened Rosemary: "Boss, this is ...... Mr. Reynolds' box office estimate is only $22 million......"

In other words, boss, boss, are you a little too blindly confident in this goal?

Chen Geng smiled slightly, he could understand very well why Rosemary was so worried, and waved his hand and said: "Bet, since it's a bet, you have to have a bet." If the box office is between 40 million and 100 million, their part of the profit as a distributor is reduced by 5%, and from 100 million to 150 million, the share is reduced by 10%...... In short, the total box office is at 50 million US dollars, with a maximum of 30% cap.

Of course, since it's a bet, Twentieth Century Fox can't do nothing, just wait for the pie to fall on his head, and tell Twentieth Century Fox that the number of screens will not be less than 3,000 in the first three days of my release. ”

At $50 million, to reduce the hairstyle profit of Twentieth Century Fox as a publisher to 30% of the normal distribution profit, it would require the total box office of "Bodyguard" to exceed ...... $350 million?!

Rosemary was scared!

But for a moment, she calmed down.

In her opinion, if the box office of "Bodyguard" exceeds 50 million US dollars, there is a little hope, more than 100 million, there is no hope at all, and the reason why the boss proposed such a gambling agreement is actually for the two points of "the box office is between 50 million and 100 million US dollars, and the distributor's profit share will be reduced by 5%" and "the number of screens in the first three days of release is not less than 3,000 pieces...... The boss is hoping to use the number of screens to rush the box office!

Rosemary couldn't find any other explanation for this.

But that's not a bad thing, and while Century Fox's box office share would be reduced by 5% if it exceeds $50 million, it's a reasonable bet compared to Kevin Reynolds' $22 million box office estimate.

As for reducing the distribution profit of Twentieth Century Fox by 10 percent or more, she had not even thought about it.

After thinking clearly, Rosemary finally nodded: "OK, no problem, I'll talk." ”

——————————

Although Alex Goodrich is his own person, the superficial respect still has to be given, for example, Alex Goodrich has already made time for Chen Geng's reception on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but in order to show respect and attention to Mr. Mayor, Chen Geng still needs to go to the city government in person and send an invitation to the mayor.

Seeing Chen Geng, Alex Goodrich was very happy, and just when Chen Geng was curious about why this guy was so happy, Alex Goodrich took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Staff, the chairman of AMC yesterday, came to me and wanted to ask me if you are interested in investing in AMC?"

Hold the grass!

What's going on?

Chen Geng didn't expect that he was just here to send an invitation, so why did he want to take a stake in AMC?

He couldn't help but say, "You mean AMC invited me to take a stake?"

"Yes," Alex Goodrich hurriedly explained, in the face of the stunned gaze of his big financier, "AMC is very difficult right now, cash flow has almost dried up, and terminal sales have almost come to a standstill......"

"Needless to say, I know," Chen Geng waved his hand before Alex Goodrich finished speaking: "It's not better than the Chrysler situation two years ago, and even worse than the Chrysler situation at the beginning...... I'm curious, why did they come up with me for financing?"

As for why AMC would find Alex Goodrich as an intermediary, it is not surprising at all, if AMC intends to cooperate with Fernandez Company, of course, it is impossible to send an official letter directly to Fernandez Company stupidly, asking Chen Geng if he is willing to cooperate with AMC, that is not a normal cooperation process, that is what Silly X will do, such as this kind of large project that costs tens of millions of dollars, you can only know whether the other party is willing to cooperate through the intermediary first.

The most suitable intermediary is the gentleman in front of him, Mr. Alex Goodrich, the mayor of Detroit, whose identity and status, the identity and status of the mayor of Detroit are enough, not to mention that the relationship between Alex Goodrich and Chen Geng is almost well-known.

"What else could it be? Of course it's because you're rich," Alex Goodrich said, "Who doesn't know that your computer hypermarket is a hen that lays golden eggs?"

Chen Geng pursed his lips: "Is there a more suitable wronged boss than me?"

Alex Goodrich didn't speak, just laughed.

Indeed, AMC is taking Chen Geng and his Fernandez company as the big culprits.

Why?

Think about the current situation of AMC, even the banks refuse to lend them money, the wages of workers have been stopped for two or three months, plus the Soviets who made trouble before have been mixed into the trade unions and workers' troubles, and the current AMC is simply a super big dung pit, and everyone avoids it, not to mention those banks, those vampires, and now they will not mix AMC with completely negative equity.

For the current AMC, Chen Geng is rich and very young, and at first glance he is the kind of lucky person who is lucky but actually has little experience, usually speaking, the lucky person can be equated with the three words "good fool", so in the eyes of the current AMC senior management and even AMC's creditors, Chen Geng's head is simply on the top of the huge "wronged head" three words- As for whether Chen Geng is a qualified wrongdoer, for AMC, which is now about to go bankrupt at any time, he is no longer qualified to distinguish carefully, so let's try it first.

Going back to the beginning, does Fernandez want to take a stake in AMC?

"No!"

Chen Geng's head shook like a rattle: "You don't know what the current situation of AMC is? It's basically a broken ship that leaks everywhere and may sink at any time, or the kind that hits an iceberg, and I don't have a lot of money and no place to spend it, so why invest money in AMC? With that group of workers like uncles, it's a bottomless pit that can't be filled with any amount of money." ”

As long as the group of workers in AMC are still there, Chen Geng will never touch AMC...... At most, when AMC has to go bankrupt and reorganize, acquire a certain brand of AMC, such as JEEP?

"What if you could tweak the AMC to your liking?" asked Alex Goodrich.

"Huh...... Adjust it according to what I mean?" Chen Geng smiled, a mocking smile: "Alex, I still say the same thing, as long as there is a group of workers in AMC who regard themselves as uncles and think that the whole world should support them, Silly X will invest in AMC." ”

What is the situation of AMC in the future, Chen Geng knows too well, after Renault Group injected 9000 Perfect Cloud to obtain more than half of AMC's shares, this pit even affected Renault Group for many years to recover, with Renault's example in front, stupid X will touch AMC.

Alex Goodrich nodded, and suddenly said, "What if you could adjust the treatment of workers according to your own wishes?"

"Adjust the workers according to my meaning?" Stunned for a moment, Chen Geng looked at Alex Goodrich in disbelief: "What do you mean......"

"That's right, that's what you think," says Alex Goodrich, "and you can make any adjustments you want to make to your workers, including layoffs, re-vocational training, and then coming back to work...... Or even the abolition of unions, as long as it is agreed by a vote of the workers, well, that's what it means from Washington. ”

"How is this possible?!" Chen Geng's eyes glared at the boss: Can the damn union be canceled?!Is it really fake?

Yes, in the United States, the formation of trade unions is voluntary, at least in the law of the United States, but in reality, hehe...... Anyway, it is a large-scale enterprise, Chen Geng has never seen a company without a damn trade union, under Chen Geng's suppression, the trade union of Fernandez Company is the weakest existence, but Fernandez Company still has a trade union?

But now, Washington has gone so far as to say that if you can do it legally, you can cancel the union...... Then cancel the damn unions!

"There's a Soviets in there," Alex Goodrich said with some fear in his eyes: "Who knows how deep the damn Soviets have infiltrated the AMC......"

I see!

Alex Goodrich said this, Chen Geng completely understood that after finding out that there were Soviets behind the disturbance between the workers and the trade unions in the AMC, the Americans were already in the rumors, and the slogans, manifestos, and election platforms that they usually talked about were ...... It's all a fart!
