Chapter 778 778 Midnight Mutation

Rick Rosen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at 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, and the sky slowly changed from dark black to The navy blue, the orange morning light on the skyline seems to faint in the night, with an elegant rhyme like an oriental ink painting.

Rick has remained in this position for a whole night and has not changed, only those quiet eyes can see the constantly changing thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, Rick turned around, shook his stiff limbs, and walked to He sat down in front of the sofa in the hall, picked up the landline and dialed a number.

The voice of "du..." continued to echo in the quiet space. After a long time, the other party picked up. Rick twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's do this!"

"Who?" The voice on the other side was dazed, apparently unresponsive. It's only five o'clock in the morning. For Hollywood, whose work and rest schedules are reversed, this is the moment of deep sleep. To have such a reaction is really good. It's normal, "Rick?" The other party also recognized Rick's voice and said in surprise, "Grass, do you know what time it is?"

Rick twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, "Joe, please, you know, this matter can only be resolved as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be."

It was Joseph on the other end of the phone, although Joseph was in deep sleep, but now he has developed the vigilance of an agent, his brain quickly woke up, he sat up directly, "You know I don't have any here. Whatever work, the important things are with you."

"But the importance of Hugo, I don't need to repeat it again." Although there are countless big-name actors in the International Innovation Management Company, Rick is now attaching more importance to Hugo, not only because Hugo's prospects are the most promising Yes, Hugo, who is 27 years old this year, is likely to become the mainstay of the entertainment industry for the next ten years; also because of Hugo's vigilance yesterday afternoon, it has reduced a lot of losses for him. So, Rick will never miss Hugo.

Joseph was not dazzled by Rick's flattery, he just twitched the corner 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 one after another.

Rick was just stunned for a moment, and then he dialed Ali Emmanuel's phone number and got busy. The famous "midnight coup" in the history of the development of Hollywood's brokerage business officially broke out on this day before the sunrise.

After Joseph hung up the phone, he was completely sleepless, and he clearly realized that from today, their group of partners will usher in a new challenge. The phone call just now opened the door to another world.

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

Rick did encounter a traitor. When Rick's assistant Jim Snow contacted other people, he accidentally notified someone who should not have been notified because of too much panic, so Rick's uprising had not yet erupted. intercepted.

At that time, Rick was forcibly dragged out of the office by the security guards. Under the eyes of the entire company, he was surrounded in the center like a lost dog. Marvin scolded Rick for being a traitor, and hoped that the whole company could see Rick's true face clearly. Although everyone in the company knew what was going on, this is a power game. Winners and losers, history is written by the victors , Rick was exposed before it was launched, and Marvin naturally occupied the moral high ground. Others who had secretly agreed with Rick did not dare to stand up openly, which suddenly put Rick in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness.

Under the desperate situation, Rick also showed amazing momentum.

Rick unabashedly accused Marvin of sabotaging the internal unity of the company for his own sake, and even conducted vicious competition with his colleagues in the company. This accusation almost completely tore off Marvin's fig leaf, so that Marvin almost fainted in rage; Then Rick confidently stated that he wanted to establish his own business, and anyone who was interested could join him.

During the confrontation, Rick pointed out an important fact. Marvin didn't understand the brokerage business from the beginning to the end. He was just a simple businessman, and the International Innovation Management Company was able to get to where it is today - from a medium-sized brokerage The company has become a three-legged member of the industry, relying on the mutual help of senior partners. Now, Marvin is going to take over the company again, which is a real disaster.

After he finished speaking, Rick decided to leave the company proudly, with only Jim accompanying him, he looked very lonely.

But how could Marvin let Rick leave safely? He also noticed that Rick had sorted out the agent's information, so he ordered Rick to keep these materials, because these were company property, and Rick had no right to bring them with him. Walk.

Although Rick is valuable, the briefcase in Rick's hand is the real high-value product, so Marvin will definitely spare no effort to keep these materials.

As a result, Rick did a shocking thing. In front of everyone, he opened the briefcase in his hand and sprinkled it out the window. The whole box of documents was scattered in the wind from the height of the twenty-third floor. Walking in blank paper all over the sky, it looked like it was snowing.

Rick's strong move, which would rather be broken than broken, made everyone in the office stunned, and Marvin's face flushed red, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

Joseph and Karl, who arrived at the company, witnessed this scene with their own eyes. The flying paper is enough to cause any paparazzi to go crazy, not to mention all the agents on the scene. Although Rick has come this far, His means, his ability, his qualifications, this is the capital of a comeback, leaving the green hills without worrying about no firewood; but these materials are equivalent to Rick's right and left hands, and anyone who can get them may rise to the top.

As a result, the 23rd floor of International Innovation Management Company was in a strange state of tension at that time. On the one hand, it was frightened by Rick. On the other hand, I was thinking about the spilled information, and it was unbearable.

Under such circumstances, Rick threw the empty briefcase directly on the ground, and then he and Jim left the company calmly, but no one dared to stop him, even Marvin could only stare in anger. Helpless.

Joseph knew that there must be some people in the company who were willing to follow Rick away, but they would not act rashly until they were exposed. Because of Hugo's reminder, Rick canceled the "tsetse fly party", so Marvin sent The people who went to the party site to surround the spies 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 a copy of the information in their hands, or even take away the original directly.

Because Joseph and Karl themselves were like that, quietly taking their materials away.

In fact, in the brokerage industry, seniority represents ability. Take Joseph as an example. When he first took over Hugo, he had no resources at all. With the lengthening of Joseph's time in Hollywood and the rise of Hugo's career, the information book in Joseph's hands has also thickened little by little. The materials that Joseph can take away now cannot be underestimated.

Afterwards, Rick had a phone call with Joseph. Since Rick was seen by Marvin ahead of his plan, he had to change his plan, and it became more difficult to establish his own business, whether it was sponsorship funds or other brokers. Everyone has been hindered - International Innovation Management can be ranked one of the three major brokerage companies.

Under such circumstances, Joseph proposed Hugo's shareholding.

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

It was only then that Rick realized that Hugo was the real Oriole. After hanging up the phone, Rick fell into contemplation instead. He not only needed to sort out the recent events, but also needed to figure out Hugo's position.

In the face of such a proposal, Rick had no reason to refuse, and Hugo's conditions were perfect, and he had no need to refuse. In fact, in the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for top actors to invest in production companies themselves. They would Make your own movies, whether as a director, a screenwriter, or an actor, use your own funds to invest, and then seek profits. Hugo's move is actually just an investment behavior, which is not surprising.

However, Rick must have an accurate positioning for Hugo. On the one hand, Hugo will become a senior partner of the company. Although he is not in power, he still has the right to speak. In order to avoid such things as Marvin , Rick believes that Hugo's investment must be pressed under three million dollars.

On the other hand, Hugo will be his artist again, which means that he will shoulder Hugo's management affairs, which is completely beneficial and harmless to him, and it is also something 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 amazing flashback in this incident, even if it was just two moments, it was enough to make Rick impressed.

Of course, the most important thing is to think clearly about recent events and future arrangements. This thought was an all-nighter. In the end, Rick gave Joseph a call and agreed to the proposal.

Joseph looked at the phone in his hand, but remembered the last conversation. He was very curious about why Rick had the courage to throw away all the information in the briefcase. This is almost a direct proof of Rick's managerial career. Should be reluctant. That's what Krick answered.

"The box is full of unused scripts. I faxed out the real materials, and then destroyed them in the office."
