Rick and Lawson stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his home, quietly looking at the sky outside the window, with the passage of time, the bright lights under the sky began to disappear little by little, the sky slowly changed from dark black to navy blue, and the orange morning light of the skyline seemed to fade in the night, with a kind of elegance like an oriental ink painting.

Rick had been in this position for a night, only those calm eyes could tell the changing thoughts in his mind, and suddenly, Rick turned around, shook his stiff limbs, and then walked to the couch in the hall and sat down, picked up the landline and dialed a number.

The sound of "......" continued to echo in the quiet space, and after a long time, the other party picked up, and Rick pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's do this!"

"Who?" The voice on the other side was confused, obviously not reacting, it was only five o'clock in the morning, for Hollywood, whose schedule was reversed, this was the time of deep sleep, and it was normal to have such a reaction, "Rick?" The other party also recognized Rick's voice and said in surprise, "Grass, do you know what time it is?"

Rick tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, "Joe, come on, you know, this matter can only be solved as much as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it becomes." ”

On the other end of the phone, it was Joseph, although Joseph was in a deep sleep, but now he had also developed the alertness of the agent, his brain quickly woke up, and he sat up directly, "You know I don't have any work here, and important things are all in your place." ”

"But Hugo's importance doesn't need me to repeat it again." Although there are countless big-name actors within the International Sword New Management Company, Rick's attention to Hugo is increasing day by day, not only because Hugo's prospects are the most optimistic, but the twenty-seven-year-old Hugo is likely to become the pillar of the entertainment industry in the next ten years; And because of Hugo's vigilance yesterday afternoon, he lost a lot of money. So, Rick definitely won't miss Hugo.

Joseph was not carried away by Rick's flattery, but only tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, "Rick, as long as you accept our proposal." ”

"No problem, then do it!" Rick said firmly, and the two of them hung up the phone one after the other.

Rick was only slightly stunned, and then dialed Ali Emmanuel's phone number again and got busy. The famous "Midnight Politics" in the history of Hollywood brokerage business development. change", on this day before the rising sun, officially broke out.

When Joseph hung up the phone, he was completely sleepy, and he clearly realized that from today onwards, their group of friends was about to face a new challenge. That phone call just now was to open the door to another world.

Thinking back to what happened yesterday afternoon, Joseph still felt incredible, and felt more and more that Hugo might be more suitable to be an agent, and Hugo's keen intuition was too terrible.

Rick did encounter a mole, Rick's assistant Jim Snow was in contact with others, but because he was too flustered, he accidentally notified someone who should not be notified, so Rick's uprising was intercepted by Marven before it broke out.

At that time, Rick was dragged out of the office by the security guards, and was surrounded in the center like a lost dog in full view of the entire company. Marven scolded Rick for being a traitor, hoping that the whole company would see Rick's true face, although everyone in the company knew what was going on, but this is a power game, success and defeat, history is written by the winner, Rick was exposed before it was launched, Marven naturally occupied the moral high ground, and the other people who had secretly agreed with Rick did not dare to stand up blatantly, which suddenly made Rick fall into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness.

In a desperate situation, Rick also showed amazing momentum.

Rick unequivocally accused Marven of destroying the company's internal unity for his own selfishness, and even viciously competing with his colleagues in the company, this accusation almost completely ripped off Marven's fig leaf, so that Marven almost didn't faint directly in anger; Later, Rick also confidently stated that he wanted to set up his own door, and anyone who was interested could go to him.

In the midst of the confrontation, Rick pointed out an important fact, Marven did not know anything about the brokerage business from beginning to end, he was just a simple businessman, and International Jianxin Management Company was able to get to where it is today - from a medium-sized brokerage company to a three-legged member of the industry, relying on the mutual help of senior partners, and now, Marven wants to take over the company again, which is a real disaster.

After saying that, Rick was about to leave the company, and Jim was alone in his company, looking lonely.

But Marven would not let Rick leave safely, he also realized that Rick had sorted out the agent's information, so he ordered Rick to leave these materials, because these are all company property, and Rick has no right to take them away.

Rick is certainly valuable, but the briefcase in Rick's hand is the real high-value product, so Marven will definitely leave these materials behind at all costs.

As a result, Rick did something shocking, he opened the briefcase in front of everyone, and sprinkled it out of the window, and the whole box of materials was scattered in the wind from the height of the twenty-third floor, and in an instant, the whole sky was blank and the paper walked, and it looked as if it was snowing.

Rick's strong move of preferring jade to pieces rather than pieces made everyone in the office stunned, and Marven's face turned red, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

Joseph and Carl, who rushed to the company, witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and the flying paper was enough to cause any paparazzi to go crazy, not to mention all the agents on the scene, although Rick came to this point, his means, his ability, his qualifications, this is the capital of the comeback, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood; But this information is equivalent to Rick's right and left hand, and anyone who can get it can make it possible.

As a result, the twenty-third floor of the International Sword New Management Company was in a strange tense state at that time, on the one hand, he was frightened by Rick, on the other hand, he was afraid of Marven's strength and his ubiquitous eyeliner in the company, but on the other hand, he was thinking about the information that had been spilled out, and his heart was itching.

In such a situation, Rick threw the empty briefcase directly on the ground, and then left the company calmly with Jim, no one dared to stop him, even Marven could only stare angrily and helplessly.

Joseph knew that there must be someone in the company who was willing to follow Rick away, but they would not act rashly until they were exposed, and because they were reminded by Hugo, Rick canceled the "Tsetse Fly Party", so Marvin sent to the party site to surround the spies and returned empty-handed, and no one saw it, so it is still a mystery who will leave with Rick.

Those who stay in the company can calmly leave copies of the information in their hands, or even take the original ones away directly.

Because Joseph and Karl themselves were like this, quietly taking their materials with them.

In fact, in the broker industry, seniority represents ability, taking Joseph as an example, when he first took over Hugo, he did not have any resources in his hands, and he relied on the company's name to carry out work, so his ability was limited; But with the extension of Joseph's time in Hollywood and the rise of Hugo's career, the data book in Joseph's hand has also thickened little by little. Now the information that Joseph can take away is not to be underestimated.

Subsequently, Rick had a phone call with Joseph, because Rick was seen through his plan by Marven in advance, which made him have to change his plan, and it became more difficult to set up his own business, whether it was sponsorship funds or other agents, they were hindered - International Sword New Management Company can be one of the three major brokerage companies, but it is not in vain, and Marven's assets and connections are even more fearful.

In such a situation, Joseph proposed Hugo's stake.

When Rick learned of Hugo's plan, he was indeed shocked, Hugo actually turned Joseph into a manager, and then signed the brokerage contract to himself, and was willing to invest five million dollars to become one of the partners of the new company, but Joseph also said that Hugo had no interest in managing the company, Hugo would not meddle in the company's affairs, but Hugo must ensure Hugo's independence and autonomy.

It was only then that Rick realized that Hugo was the real Yellow Sparrow. After hanging up the phone, Rick fell into deep thought, he not only needed to sort out the recent events, but also needed to think clearly about Hugo's position.

In the face of such a proposal, Rick has no reason to refuse, and Hugo's conditions are perfect, and he has no need to refuse, in fact, in the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for top actors to invest in production companies by themselves, they will prepare and make movies by themselves, whether they are directors or screenwriters, or actors, with their own funds to invest, and then seek profits. Hugo's move, in fact, is just an investment behavior, which is not surprising.

However, Rick must have an accurate positioning of Hugo, on the one hand, Hugo will become a senior partner of the company, although he is not in power and does not do anything, but he still has the right to speak, in order to avoid such a thing as Marvin, Rick believes that Hugo's investment must be pressed below three million dollars.

On the other hand, Hugo will be his artist, which means that he will shoulder Hugo's brokerage affairs, which is completely beneficial to him and what he has always dreamed of. But the point is, how should he grasp the size of the two people getting along? Not only because of Hugo's investment, but also because of Hugo's stunning dodge in this incident, even if it was only two moments, it was enough to make Rick look at each other.

Of course, the most important thing is to think about the recent events and future arrangements, and this thought is an all-nighter, and in the end, Rick gives Joseph a phone call and agrees to the proposal.

Joseph looked at the phone in his hand, but remembered the last conversation, he was very curious why Rick had the courage to throw away all the materials in the briefcase, which was almost a direct proof of Rick's agent career, and anyone should be reluctant. But that's how Rick replied.

"The box was full of unused scrap scripts, and I faxed out all the real materials and destroyed them in the office." (To be continued [Provided].)
