Chapter 776

Rick stood in place and carefully sorted out this simple matter this morning, and then sorted out all his calculations in the past period of time.

Eddie Murphy, he didn't stay; Arnold Schwarzenegger, it looks like he can't stay. Looking down at the cards in his hand, the biggest cards are Clint Eastwood and Al Pacino, but now it can be seen that Tom Hanks has finally made it out.

In the past year, the appearance of Marvin Josephson has made the company jump around and confused people. Eighteen senior partners had to be drawn into a new round of power struggles, even the low-level partners. Everyone and ordinary employees have already felt this sense of oppression, and now the company is even more panicked, which made Rick have the idea of ​​​​starting his own business.

For the past three years, Rick has been one of the most powerful partners in the International Innovation Management Company, mainly because the actors under him have sufficient strength, whether it is Arnold Schwarzenegger or Clint. - Eastwood, both of them have been in the limelight in recent years, and Eddie Murphy and Al Pacino are also the top players among the first-line actors.

This enables Rick to let go of his hands and feet to arrange and plan according to the route set by himself. It can be said that Rick's contribution to the brilliant achievements of the International Innovation Management Company in the past three years cannot be ignored. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no internal strife within the company. Everyone is working together to work together. Even if there is competition, it is a healthy competition and will not be ripped off.

But now, as soon as Marvin appeared, everything changed. The idea of ​​starting your own business came naturally.

This is not a spur of the moment, but the result of careful consideration. Although Ma Wen handed over the company to several senior partners, he has always been the company's largest shareholder and the source of the company's funds. His real power cannot be shaken. They can only swallow their voices and reluctantly deal with them.

If you start a company yourself, it will be different. Several of the founders can be firmly united, hold the power in their own hands, and be their own masters.

Of course, Rick also knows that it is not that simple to establish a business on your own. The difference between a medium-sized brokerage company and a large brokerage company lies in the number of brokers, the number of artists in the broker's hands, and the strong network behind the broker. Of course, It also depends on the financial support of the brokerage company.

Therefore, there are two first wave of problems that Rick needs to face. The first investment capital must be at least 10 million US dollars, which is not a small amount; the second is the manpower problem. It’s not enough to look at. Even if you open a small brokerage company with only a dozen brokers, it will be crushed by the International Innovation Management Company in a few days.

So, during this time, Rick has been planning to contact some small brokerage companies and medium-sized brokerage companies, but not to join forces like the joint elite brokerage companies, but to contact these brokerage companies who have sufficient strength and are willing to stand on their own. People, together to create a brand new brokerage company.

This matter can only be done in secret. Once it is discovered, the artists in the hands of the agent will change, and it is very likely that giants such as the Creative Artists Agency and the International Innovation Management Company will take advantage of it. Dee Murphy's departure.

Judging from today's events, Rick's previous plan was completely correct, and Marvin was still out of his control, and now the situation is no longer under Rick's complete control.

Rick has come to this day entirely by relying on his own strength to work hard step by step. Others can't see the hardships he has had to wait on the side of the road like a tramp for the real power figures in the production company. He bowed his head and bowed his head flatteringly. Others couldn't see the grief of his bruising his lips in order to win an excellent script. Rick went from an unknown newcomer's agent to where he is today.

But what about Marvin? In this way, he relied on the funds and real power in his hands, and all Rick's efforts were in vain. Actors such as Eddie Murphy and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who he held in one hand, followed the interests and left himself. . Even though Rick knew very well that this was the kingdom where interests came first, and everything had to be measured by interests, he could still feel the heartache that kept him up at night.

Rick originally thought that his plan to start his own business was just a precaution, after all, leaving a mature agency is a huge risk for all brokers, and no one can guarantee that the new company will thrive. This is not 1975. , Now that the three major brokerage companies are full-fledged, it is definitely not that easy to survive among them.

So, although Rick has been planning secretly, he doesn't want to take this step unless he has to. Rick is more unwilling and sadder than anyone else to leave the International Innovation Brokerage, where he struggled from scratch.

But Rick has never been an indecisive person, just keep his grief to himself. So, Rick decided that he was going to start politics. Change!

In the huge conference room, only Rick and Marvin were sitting quietly, and although the usual orderliness was still maintained outside the conference room, everyone was a little absent-minded, because everyone knew: maybe today the company will really Heaven has changed.

"Okay, I'll make it clear." Marvin said directly, "I miss this place, I miss the exciting moments, and the work here, I want to come back."

Although Rick rolled his eyes, everyone already knew about this during the New Year's Eve in 1992, but he didn't say much, just smiled and joked, "The champion Ali is coming back." But Rick The teasing has always carried a warm and cosy atmosphere, like coaxing a child.

"Don't make trouble." All Marvin's actions today seemed very straightforward, and it could be seen that he was fully prepared. "You don't need to worry about this."

Rick had no intention of commenting on this, he simply said, "Okay, I'm going to renew." Rick's contract with International Innovation Management doesn't end until tomorrow in October, with eighteen months remaining. .

"Your contract has not expired yet, and we have no precedent for this." Marvin said calmly, "When your contract expires, you will be satisfied."

Rick shook his head, "It's not enough, I think I'll be happy now." At this moment, when facing Marvin, Rick, who has always been genial and friendly, showed his strength as an agent. He was able to To become a top broker, to be a senior partner of the company, the strength is absolutely unquestionable.

"You know our rules, the contract cannot be renewed during the validity period." Marvin said slowly, "I want to say that I have always been kind to you."

"That's what you said when you left." Rick said with a smile, when Marvin left the company, he handed over the entire company to him, Ron Mayer, Ali Emmanuel and other five people , and then let them lead the company on the right track. But now Marvin wants to take back his power on a whim. There is no such simple truth in the world. "But it's not fair to me that you're coming back now. Not now! I have to make conditions now."

In fact, Rick knows that Marvin will not compromise, but this is negotiation, asking for prices and paying back.

Marvin picked up the pen, raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, Rick, you know, I've never done that before." Then he started writing on the white paper, Rick wrinkled slightly He frowned, thinking hard about Marvin's current plans. But unfortunately, Rick has too little grasp of the situation, and he has no way to respond to Marvin's plan immediately, which makes him very passive.

He knew about Marvin's conspiracy, but when Rick saw the paper that Marvin handed over that said "nothing", he still felt a little ridiculous. It turned out that their group of senior partners worked hard to bring the company to where it is now. Location, in exchange for such a simple word, is really ridiculous.

Rick looked at the sharp smile on Marvin's face. He was not angry. On the contrary, he looked back calmly with a smile on his face. In the face of Marvin, he will never be afraid. Since he has made plans to establish his own business, he will not sit still. Leaving the International Innovation Management Company is not the end of the world. Gesture to leave.

Rick left the conference room, hurried back to the twenty-third floor, called Jim to his office, and took out an envelope from his radio, "Jim, listen, there are more than eight brokerage companies here. The name of the agent, if anyone contacts you, you must act immediately, understand?"

Jim took a deep breath. The plan for the past period of time was actually going to unfold today. This was really unexpected, but Jim forced himself to calm down, nodded vigorously, and listened to Rick speak. To, "When you contact these people, don't say anything more, just say 'tsetse fly', remember, 'tsetse fly', and don't say anything else."

Jim nodded again, took the envelope and turned away.

Rick stood on the spot and adjusted his breathing. Although he was in a hurry and panicked, he was ready, so he would never back down. He picked up the phone, dialed Joseph's number, and waited for the other party to connect. , he said, "Tsetse fly." Then he hung up the phone quickly, then left the office, and took steps towards Ali-Emanuel's office.

The company is about to change.
