Chapter 206: Little Mazi and Visit Facebook
San Francisco mocks Bird Games.
Andy sat on the boss chair, playing Nokia N96 with a hint of sarcasm in his mouth, and threw the phone onto the desk with his eyes narrowed. He just wanted to touch his nose, his hands stopped in the air and cursed. With a beep, change to chin. Someone threatened to abandon books because they touched their noses! too terrifying!
This is the second day that he has arrived in San Francisco. Alvitelle's negotiations with Facebook have basically come to an end. However, the market value of Facebook has been deadlocked. Both sides did not choose to concede and left the two. Ren Xiong's sleeves dried up in the conference room, because even Li Xiaoying Barabara stood up to count the many shortcomings of Facebook. After all, her expertise was even better, and she directly gave the Facebook negotiating delegation a crit.
Afterwards, they also asked Alvetelle about Li Xiaoying's situation and seemed to want to invite her to join Facebook.
Andy can only wait patiently at the game company, but received an unexpected call in the afternoon, okay, it is not an accident, it is just that the other person takes himself too seriously, Ceo Rob of Summit Entertainment Freeman called him from New York, a week after the two met.
Before waiting for him to speak, Andy told Rob with a laugh that he has left New York, and is now in San Francisco. He will return to Los Angeles in a few days. If there is anything you can go back to Los Angeles and talk to Carl first. He is very busy now, and hung up the phone after a few words of conversation with Andy, his attitude seemed very indifferent, and it seemed that he had forgotten the last time he met and talked.
In New York, Robert Freeman hung up the phone with a sinking face, and looked at Pierce, the founder and one of the big bosses sitting opposite him. "He is no longer in New York, let us go back Los Angeles talks, it seems his attitude is very cold because of our neglect. "
Pierce's face was a bit ugly, and he coughed a few times, but said helplessly: "Before we came, we seemed to be laughing at the copyright company, which seems to be in contact with the Big Six, and we want to bundle and sell the copyrights of the two series of novels. That's just to put pressure on us ... "
Rob Freman's forehead jumped blue, his heart began to scold his mother, why no one told him this kind of news, it seems that there are too few people in the peak entertainment company, this time you must go back and install more But he couldn't leave the company, he became blind and deaf.
"Andy Smith asked us to contact Carl, the manager of the copyright company ... To be honest, I don't want to talk to that fat man, and I'm worried that I won't be able to control him ..." Robert Freeman's eyes twitched, the dead fat man When he robbed him of the copyright of "Twilight" in person, he wanted to go up and give him a punch, not to mention that now he rushed to find him to be slaughtered. This dead fat man has long been between Hollywood film companies. Famous, villains, bed bugs, vampires, all the bad words can be used on him.
Because he took apart the copyrights of all the stories in this series of "Dark Fairy" by Andy Smith, yes, yes, sell them!
The people who scolded and scolded Disney were originally thinking of making a round, but now they can only go one by one to bid with other movie companies, and Xuele Publishing has started to promote the second book of Dark Fairy Tales. It's on the shelves around Christmas.
Andy called Carl, and after telling him about the matter, he was no longer entangled in this matter. Since he called again after so many days, it means that the people in Peak Entertainment have basically accepted Andy's proposal. Then leave Carl to do the next thing, bite them!
One day later, the two sides of the negotiation still did not reach an agreement on the market value issue, and Andy was a little impatient. In fact, Xiao Mazi was also a bit irritable, because he really had no money to burn. the company.
Andy is glad to go.
Facebook's headquarters, located on the Mid-Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area, was accompanied by five or six black commercial vehicles.
While in the car, Andy and Arvitelli asked how they felt about Mark Zuckerberg. Al shook his head with a constipated expression and grinned, as if he saw something unclean.
Thinking of Xiao Mazi's comments and interpretations in the movie, one wears a casual hoodie, the hair is clean but does not care much, the curls are soft against the scalp, and the big eyes are particularly bright, but the opening can pop out Outdated swear words. Such rare people are rare, especially his unique aesthetics. Well, his Chinese wife, now a girlfriend, even if the Tianchao people look at it themselves, they feel a little LOW, but they can't hold Xiao Mazi to death.
Well, Andy is no longer embarrassed by Al. After all, Al is a small victim, and his boyfriend is also a tall and middle-aged handsome man. It is really terrible to see Xiao Mazi's appearance of being sloppy.
The car entered the Facebook park and stopped under a five or six-story building. Joseph took the lead and opened the door to Andy. Andy had a slim black suit and a white shirt with a dark blue stripe. Andy's tie, although Andy is tall, but the tailored clothes make him look less stout.
When Andy got out of the car, he saw a group of four or five people embracing a young man on the steps in front of the building. A small brown curly hair was clinging to his scalp. He was wearing a blue-black pullover lapel sweater. Jeans, a pair of blue and black jigsaw white basketball shoes, and the person behind him was a modest suit and tie.
When he saw the young and handsome Andy getting off the car, Xiaomazi knew immediately that this person was Andy Smith. Well, just looking at this pomp, you can see, so he took the person down the stairs, and both of them were young. People took the lead and met soon.
"Hey man, welcome to Facebook, my name is Mark Zuckerberg." Little Asako didn't wait for the smiling Andy Smith to speak before welcoming.
Although Andy is not very familiar with Little Mazi, but after all, he has seen movies, even if there is a part of the romance, but Xiao Mazi likes to take the initiative, he is very clear, Andy does not matter, as long as it can bring benefits to him, He wouldn't mind even if Little Mazi snatched all the limelight.
"Hello, Mr. Zuckerberg. This is Andy Smith." After introducing himself, Andy reached out and shook his hand.
Then, Asahi invited Andy to join the company to visit, and while walking, Andy found that Asako always consciously led him by half a position, and spoke very fast.
When I walked into Facebook, the people in the company already knew that the big boss of the group of people who have been negotiating with them these days is here, but what should they do? Obviously these IT men are not interested in these things.
Xiaomazi and Andy walked side by side, each with a happy smile. Xiaomazi introduced all the office areas passing by along the way, very enthusiastic, Andy asked a few words from time to time, and the conversation was very happy.
The passing staff just saw that their boss and the investor got along well. Of course, this may be the intention of Xiao Mazi. Andy didn't care about the careful action of Xiao Mazi. He knows that since Xiao Mazi took himself After Edward, one of the partners, kicked out of Facebook, his prestige hurts the company a lot. If he could help Xiaomazi to establish some prestige, Andy wouldn't mind helping him. After all, Xiaomazi's Facebook can Bring him huge benefits.
Xiaomazi originally thought that as a young and rich young man, he had no interest in the work and environment of a boring IT company, and would soon be impatient or something, but when he saw Andy Smith, he listened to him very seriously along the way. From time to time, the expression of thinking is not at all pretending to be interested, but really curious about everything about Facebook.
Xiao Mazi's speed of speech and reaction is fast, and her logical thinking is a little jumpy, but every time Andy can keep up with his rhythm, even responding to the point, so Xiao Mazi chats very well, and sometimes even Andy Some of the small suggestions suggested by Xiaomazi were perfunctory at the beginning, but the slightest disdain in the tone could still be heard, nothing more than treating Andy as a layman, even though Andy spoke with a user before speaking. From the perspective, he said his own experience, but Andy intentionally mixed some plausible things that he was ready to use to deal with the creativity and function of Xiao Mazi.
Although in the view of Xiaomazi, some of them can be duplicated with the ideas that the company is preparing and already applying, but there are really a few that he and the people in the company have never thought of in that direction.
"Andy, your ideas are really good. It's no wonder that you can become a billionaire by creativity. It's great!" Mark is no longer named Mr. Smith, and directly named Andy.
Andy has a humble smile on his face, but he can't help but chuckle. As for what he just said, they are all variants of Nima's previous domestic cottage and foreign ideas, but now they are awesome. Okay. , Now it's Andy's original.
"Oh, I have written down the complete ideas for these ideas, and they are all ready. In the hands of my team's lawyers, as long as you are willing to pay a little bit of benefit, I think those documents will not let you down!" Andy With a little joking teasing.
Andy doesn't believe in Xiao Mazi's ethics. A large part of Facebook ’s creative ideas are copied from others, and they were also investors at the time. Xiao Mazi can copy without pressure. If these ideas are not in advance, Tell him that he has protected his creativity for a long time. As soon as Andy leaves, Little Mazi can immediately write the code and apply it to Facebook.
