"Isn't two hundred million US dollars too little?"
"Based on the performance of 'The Night Is Coming' in Europe, they made $200 million in just a few days. I think we should ask for even more, $300 million!!!"
One of the partners was even bolder.
Since it's a one-off deal anyway, why not want more?!
Few can resist the lure of enormous profits.
The other people's eyes lit up when this partner said that.
The boss in Streich thought about it and decided it was feasible.
Just as he was about to speak, the phone next to him suddenly rang.
The boss of Streich answered the phone casually and asked with a calm expression:
Who is it?
"I?"
"I am the head of legal affairs at The Walt Disney Company."
A faint voice came from the opposite side.
Rumble!!!
This calm voice exploded like a thunderclap in a clear sky in the ears of the Streich boss.
He suddenly stood up, his face filled with astonishment.
He's heard a lot about Disney's legal department.
Because of their frequent litigation, their firm, Streich, knows many lawyers.
Moreover, their company, Strachey, also has several very capable lawyers, and he knows how formidable Disney's legal department is.
The head of Disney's legal department was an even more unapproachable figure to him.
Why would such an important person suddenly contact me?
The boss of Streich was quite puzzled.
"Excuse me... what can I do for you?"
"The boss of Streich asked, trembling."
"You have one minute to drop the charges against the film 'The Night Is Coming,' or you will face an attack from our entire Disney legal department!!!"
The head of Disney's legal department spoke coldly.
Um? !
The owner of Strachey was immediately stunned, taken aback by the words of the head of Disney's legal department.
Facing an attack from the entire Disney legal department?!
This... this is not just scary...
While their legal team is formidable compared to other companies, they are nothing more than ants in the face of Disney's legal department.
They only need a few lawyers to bring them down.
The attack from the entire Disney legal department was terrifying.
"60..............59..............58................"
While the boss of Strachey was still in a daze, the head of Disney's legal department across the street had already started counting down.
"Okay, okay..............."
The boss of Streich readily agreed.
As he spoke, he immediately picked up the landline phone on the desk next to him and dialed the court's number.
After the call connected, he demanded that the charges against "The Night Is Coming" be dropped immediately.
Boss Streich's words left the other partners in the office completely bewildered.
The partners looked at each other, bewildered.
What's going on?
They were just discussing how many hundred million US dollars they were trying to extort from the owner of "The Night Is Coming".
Why is the boss now willing to give up on the accusation against "The Night Is Coming" after only answering one phone call?
Now that the charges have been dropped, it will be too late for them to file charges again.
"Boss, what are you doing? Hang up the phone!"
"Exactly, we cannot withdraw our charges against 'The Night Is Coming'..."
"Hang up the phone right now!!!"
Several partners spoke up eagerly.
Although they didn't know what was wrong with the boss, they didn't want to give up these huge profits of hundreds of millions.
After someone finished speaking, they even stood up, wanting to take it.
Just then, the boss of Streich made a surprising statement:
"Do you want to spend your whole life in prison?!"
In an instant, everyone stopped.
They certainly don't want to spend their whole lives in prison.
After saying that, the boss ignored his partners and focused on talking to the court officials.
A few dozen seconds later, Strachey Entertainment successfully withdrew its lawsuit against the film "The Night Is Coming".
"Boss, it's been withdrawn, we've withdrawn..."
After things were settled here, the owner of Strachey quickly explained the situation to the head of Disney's legal department.
"Um............"
After a response came from the other end of the phone, the call ended.
"Huff...huff..."
The boss of Streich breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's alright, it's alright.
Fortunately, they had enough time; otherwise, they would have had to go inside.
Knowing that some of the partners were curious, before they could even ask, the boss of Streich took the initiative to tell them the whole story.
"What?!"
"It was a call from the head of Disney's legal department."
"My God, the person behind 'The Night Is Coming' has connections with Disney, and can even get the head of their legal department to come forward."
Everyone felt a wave of fear.
Now they no longer object to what the boss did; they wholeheartedly support it.
Fortunately, the other party only asked me to withdraw the charges and nothing else; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Everyone sighed with relief, feeling extremely fortunate to have escaped unscathed.
Bang!
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from outside!
