And Thus, Things Go Well For Lucasfilm
You looked at George and grabbed him off his chair. "We need to talk outside." You said as you pulled him away. "We'll be back in a sec."
George was clearly not happy about that, as he adjusted his glasses and tried his best to keep them on as you dragged him outside and shut the door. "We can't just do that. He's asking for far too much." George stated as you both talked quietly.
"Well that's the problem George, a man of his talents isn't just going to come waltzing in, and I nor you will ever have the time with trying to explain how important that is George, because by the time I do, Mike will have either quit or taken another offer."
"He wants ownership of our company." George pleaded. "We can't just-"
"Geroge, he's not going to own anything more than What Marcia would own. He only will have enough to not get fired by us arbitrarily."
George still didn't get it as his face morphed. "I don't trust him owning a piece of what we have."
"That's the things that should make us different. We give someone who has been good to us what they want and more, so when the times get bad, they may be willing to help."
"You think times are going to get worse?" He asked.
"I'm not going to allow it to get worse by being afraid that we are going get screwed over by someone who has done nothing but trust us and worked with us." You stated. "So have faith that he isn't willing to screw us over, and just accept that we can give up a portion."
"I understand he wants a lot George, but a lot of our success is
because of him; because of that I want to right by him, so
I'll take the brunt of the costs from my personal shares
if need be."
George finally relented. "Okay. But what about everything else?"
You smiled. "Don't worry. I have a good idea."
You both walked back in and you saw Mike was still sitting in his chair, and you knew he was just there. "Alright, what was so-"
You stopped him by raising a hand. "Well first off Mike, we have come to you with a counteroffer, one that you may find satisfactory."
He raised an eyebrow. "Shoot."
"Your salary will be 12 million dollars, Yearly." You started, one look from George knew he was fully supportive of that. "And we will allow two producer credits on any film we produce starting next year. No questions asked."
There was a pause, and you realized that Mike was surprised by such a grand offer on display. "And the ownership?"
"2%. Nothing more, nothing less." You replied. "However, a clause and stipulation that we will put in, is that we get right of first refusal if you ever want to sell it."
Mike nodded. He then looked to George. Then you. "Well, I can't say I'm not surprised. You boys put a lot of thought into this."
"More me than Geroge, but he's always been good at other things."
The Offer:
D100 => 22 vs 20
Mike then laughed. "I should have asked for a cut of the merchendising."
"Don't push your luck, Mike. George is very protective of that." You replied.
"I accept." He replied without hesitation. "We're going to get Legal to work on this, or will this be informal?"
"I think we all know you'll want it in writing." George replied.
"Good man."
