2196 Smart businessman
The call to Roman Abramovich was the result of Renly's careful consideration..
In fact, Renly really doesn't have many chips, because he is not sure how strong Roman's intention to cooperate is, and he is not sure how much weight Sisyphus Pictures and the film industry have in Roman's mind; at the same time, he has no way of knowing. How much will this cooperation cost, how deep is Roman's appetite, and how much impact will this request for help have on the future... everything is uncertain..
In the past, Renly was the one who took the initiative. Whether he was facing the Weinstein brothers, Bob Iger, Thomas Tull, etc., Renly's greatest confidence was not his talent and talent. Ability, but his "no desires and no demands" - he doesn't care about what they care about, but what he cares about is more than what they have. In other words, the relationship between supply and demand is unequal..
It is precisely because of this that Renly was able to take the initiative unmoved when "Crazy Love" first faced off with Harvey Weinstein at Sundance. In business partnerships, the essence of interest is the initiative. , does not specifically refer to money or power, but refers to the real needs of the parties’ hearts..
But now the situation has reversed, Renly desperately needs help, and Roman's cooperation with Sisyphus Films is not necessary - leaving aside the film industry, Roman can make money in countless fields, and may be far more profitable than the entertainment industry , he really does not need to spend such energy; what's more, Roman invested in Chelsea because he loves football, but he is not that enthusiastic about movies, maybe he is just curious..
This also means that Renly's invitation is likely to be a very, very risky choice; but Renly does not have much hesitation or hesitation.
Some things, no matter how dangerous or absurd, must be completed; and some things, no matter how simple or how beautiful, just can’t be done. Some things need to be decided rationally; and some don’t. Deep in everyone’s heart, there is A bottom line set by yourself, how to deal with others, and behave in a way that is worthy of yourself..
As for those special cases with no bottom line, that's another matter..
No matter what, Renly needs to try it on Roman.
Of course, Renly is not a fool. He refuses to put all his hopes on Roman, the "businessman", because businessmen pursue profits, and it is even more so when they reach Roman's level and height; not to mention, let Lan Even if Li puts all his eggs in one basket, he can't do it.
Later, Renly dialed Alexander Hamilton's phone number.
Compared to Renly, Alexander has been operating in London's upper class for many years, and his connections and power are even better than Arthur's. This can be seen from the last charity auction, which also means that he Can get more inside information, the location and situation are unusual.
What was unexpected but reasonable was that Alexander did not take it all on his own, just as if the Hall family's affairs were also the Hamilton family's affairs - Alexander was not Andre after all, and Alexander could not be like him. Like Andre, he needs to consider more issues. Alexander should have heard the news before, but there was no movement, which is enough to explain some problems. But Renly has no way to blame Alexander..
What's more, now that Renly had spoken, Alexander did not refuse, but simply said that he would immediately inquire about the news and inform Renly of the follow-up situation at any time. Such a stance was actually enough for Renly, and he also No intention of asking for more.
That's not all.
Immediately afterwards, Renly called Andy Rogers again. He did not mention Edith's matter, but only mentioned charity activities, cooperation with the United Nations and cooperation with the Red Cross. He hoped that he could cooperate with Andy Rogers as soon as possible. Link these activities to express willingness to participate.
Of course, Renly knew that participating in these activities often required previous planning and arrangements. It was impossible to call today and attend tomorrow. This was not a community event; but Renly's purpose was not to participate in the activities immediately, but to establish contact with the activities and then connect with the United Nations. , contact the Red Cross.
Just like Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson, the official charity activities of the United Nations also need public figures in the entertainment industry to speak for themselves to expand the influence of the event and at the same time build the image of the public figure. This is a win-win situation. However, the United Nations also needs to determine the image of these "spokesmen" to ensure that they are consistent with their own activities. Otherwise, they would rather miss it than settle for it. Therefore, they tend to be more cautious when selecting partners for cooperation. After all, this is also The face of the entire organization.
But, "Renly Hall", they probably couldn't resist the name.
Then, as long as they have the intention to cooperate, a bridge of communication can be established. As for how to obtain information in the future, we can only take one step at a time..
Just like the dawn of the morning, it is now the night before dawn. They need to be patient and patient, but Renly is not ready to feel sorry for himself and wait for death. Although the situation he can open is really limited, but everyone adds firewood and the flames are high, after all If you can find a breakthrough, you will never know the result if you don't give it a try. This is Renly's code of conduct..
What's more, Edith has been cooperating with the United Nations for so many years, and she also has her own foundation and connections. As long as Renly spreads the news in a big way, he can always "snatch the snake" and alert those secret connections. Maybe, someone will take the initiative to come to her, Providing information to Renly?？
Edith is working her way, and so is Renly.
Roman Abramovich called at the end of the day that evening.
Renly said goodbye to Rachel in a hurry, walked quickly to Nathan, took the phone, and then walked towards the front of the crew, remaining polite, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long..”
“No, no, no, I must be rude and only reply to your call now." Roman's mellow and steady voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sorry for the long meeting, I obviously missed your call, I hope I didn't It's delayed the business. Is there anything I can do to help?？”
Roman is a smart man, an extremely smart businessman.
There was no politeness, no small talk, and no delay. He seemed to have given up on the idea of selling for a price. He also had no arrogance and went directly to the topic. Instead, he showed his proactive sincerity. Regardless of whether it was a calculation or not, he succeeded. Impressed Renly.
Obviously, Roman understands that Renly is not a person who shows weakness easily. Similarly, Renly is not a person who is easy to manipulate..
“I'm not sure either." Renly told the truth, and then he briefly told the whole story of Edith's situation, giving as much key information as possible and omitting the details - because he couldn't be sure about those details either. How much is true? After all, the news will inevitably lose its original appearance after being transmitted and retold several times. The most important thing is that the core backbone can be determined..
He originally thought that the matter was very complicated and heavy, but it only took five or six sentences to explain it all..
“I'm not sure whether turning to you for help is the right choice, but I really don't have many choices now. You are the one with the most extensive connections among all my friends. At least... at least you can give me some advice." Renly was conscious. He lowered his posture, showing his panic and helplessness.——
Roman is not Alexander. If Renly always took the initiative and remained on an equal footing with Roman, then things might be different. In fact, this is one of the reasons why Renly chose to speak out in his phone messages. Sometimes , conspiracy and conspiracy are not opposites.
Renly is a very good top actor, and Roman didn't notice anything strange at all - what's more, Renly had already sold the flaw when he left a message on the phone; to take a step back, even if Roman noticed something strange, he didn't care. Because he knows what this opportunity means.
The only question is, is Roman interested? Are you willing to lend a helping hand?？
“I'm not sure I can help, but there's no problem. I'll make a few calls now to ask and see what's going on." In fact, when Roman chose to call back, he already knew the bargaining chip he had, and he didn't need to bargain now. , focusing on Renly's request, the rest will be easy to say in the future; but Roman did not boast with certainty, but retained some possibilities in his words.
But this kind of reservation is different from Alexander's. Alexander does his best, while Roman increases his chip weight by increasing the difficulty of the task..
Roman lowered his voice slightly, showing a trace of empathy and sorrow, "Renly, I know how terrible it is to encounter such a thing. I have personally experienced a similar chaotic situation. I know how difficult and hard it is." , but we have to believe that things will get better.”
“Thank you. I still maintain my faith." Renly's brief words revealed his firm belief. After the initial confusion and escape, he finally calmed down again - although the wounds in his heart were still tearing, Renly understands one thing: this is Edith's battle, and the most important thing now should be on Edith. As for himself, those regrets and pain can wait..
After a brief exchange of words, Roman hung up the phone..
Back and forth, this phone call only lasted less than sixty seconds. Roman's thinking was very clear: the situation is critical, and now we need to help Renly solve the problem. As for chips and transactions, those things can be temporarily put aside; as long as Renly If you owe this favor, everything will be easy to talk about..
This is a truly smart businessman. At least, from the time they met until now, Renly has not been able to gain the upper hand in several confrontations with Roman..
Now I hope Roman can be the key to solving the problem.
