Basic skills of business negotiation

Paul Getty's grandson was kidnapped for $17 million ransom

Scrooge's Getty calls in former CIA agent Chase to help save lives, and doesn't want to pay

The grandson's ear was cut off and sent to him. After much negotiation, the remaining 4 million US dollars was cut, but this money was not given in vain. It must be lent to his son by Getty within the tax-free allowance, and his son will pay again. Interest, and then if the mother uses the money, she must return the custody of the grandson to his ex-husband (that is, the heroine has no custody)

But in the end, the tax-free allowance was only 1 million, so I only paid 1 million, but 1 million is not enough, and 4 million can no longer be cut.

The quick-witted mother understands that to negotiate with the rich, you have to be rich, even if it's a fake, bluff worth

Guo Duan released news and paid 4 million in full, which made old Getty panic. Where did this woman get 4 million? Do you have an agreement with anyone? So I don't want my 1 million? If not? Can't get custody back?

Suddenly got 4 million? After that, will my grandson still recognize my grandfather? I didn't use my money after all?

Or maybe my conscience found out, I finally paid 4 million in full, and my grandson came back safely.

So in business, negotiating with others is like Chase negotiating with the oil princes. You have to pretend that you don't care and are confident, or you will be bargained for by others. Even if it's just a bluff.

    Lei Gong's narrative control is extremely stable, and the rhythm is slow but not dull. Kidnapping cases are generally labeled as crime thrillers, but the entry point of the money world is completely different. You will not see extremely hot and exciting rescue scenes. It is a very literary drama. Although it does not lose the sense of tension, it is more to see the value trade-off between family love and money and the disintegration of the family of the richest person in the world. In reality, this incident is far more cruel than in the movie!

    Song as old as rhyme. Scott made a Shakespeare-like film on a whim, with a beautifully crafted layout, and a good story and performance. But there is no depth, the kernel is old and nothing new has been shot. It's like the event itself stuck forty years ago, and the retro is too realistic to have anything today. Wonderful but significantly worse than its peers. Not a masterpiece.

All the Money in the World quotes

  • Fletcher Chace: Gail, I lied. All right?I said I was authorized to pay them $200,000. You know how much I'm really authorized to pay? Nothing. All right, if they accept, I won't be able to deliver, but I had to buy some time. You wanted to know what I used to do. This is what I used to do, what I still do for Getty.

    Gail Harris: Because there's no one in your life but yourself.

    Fletcher Chace: Fair enough. $17 million and zero dollars, that's how far apart we are. Those numbers have got to move.

  • Oswald Hinge: Ms. Getty, we offer you our sincerest condolences.

    Gail Harris: Well, you're very thoughtful.

    Oswald Hinge: Please, sit. Mr. Getty's death has created a bit of a crisis here. You see, the estate was structured as a charitable family trust.

    Gail Harris: Did he ever give any money to charity?

    Oswald Hinge: No. No.

    Gail Harris: The trust enabled Mr. Getty to build his fortune without paying taxes. There was just one catch. Under the rules of the trust, he couldn't actually spend the money.

    Gail Harris: What's the point of making all that money if you can't spend it?

    Oswald Hinge: Well, he couldn't spend it, but he could invest it.So, he invested it in things. Art. Antiques. Soon, he had a... A staggering amount of things.And a staggering amount of money. Now someone has to decide what to do with it all.

    Gail Harris: What do you want with me?

    Oswald Hinge: How do I put this... The king is dead. The throne is vacant. Your children are his heirs. Until they come of age,someone has to make the decisions. Which means, of course, someone has to take his place.
