The conference room was filled with smoke. List, the project leader, was leaning on his chair in a daze with an expressionless face. To his left and right was the new contact person Rhett, the sensible nephew of a certain Goldman Sachs person. At this moment, Rhett was talking to several other capital managers.
The representative spoke loudly.
"I have read his information and he is a very powerful investor, but so what? This is the United States. We must have control of Summit Pictures in our hands. Wall Street needs the voice of Hollywood. Please pay attention, everyone,
I think the company is overvalued, I think $500 million is a good number, what do you think?"
Layton, the representative of Lehman Brothers, showed a sincere smile and looked encouragingly: "Reed, I'm optimistic about you. It'll be up to you tomorrow." Other representatives followed suit, as if the whole world was waiting for Rhett to save Li Si.
Te's eyes became more and more profound, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to say, look, there is a mentally retarded person there.
When Marilyn woke up in the morning, she carefully prepared her makeup. A bright future was ahead, and she had to appear in her most beautiful image.
Secretary Julia was waiting in the living room. When she saw Marilyn coming out, she immediately stepped forward to take the bag. Marilyn glanced at this secretary who was of Latin descent and imagined a scuffle between the three of them. She wondered if the boss would
Will you be satisfied?
"Julia, do you think Boss likes my makeup today?" Marilyn asked insidiously. Julia hesitated and said, "I don't think the president's attraction to Boss was based on your beauty."
"Oh haha, your point of view is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive. Believe me, as long as you have the opportunity, you must seize it. Boss's generosity is beyond your imagination." Marilyn's hint was very clear, Zhu
Leah showed a knowing smile: "I understand."
"Very good, let's go now. Damn Wu, he took over Boss. It's really unforgivable." Marilyn was furious.
The city of Los Angeles has never been short of handsome men, of any style, but rich and generous handsome men. This is the concept that Marilyn has constantly instilled in Julia. Marilyn really has no confidence at all in how attractive she can be if she works alone.
After all, the aesthetics of Asians are different from those of Americans, so they came up with the idea of a group fight. And Boss seemed to be very interested.
Marilyn, who got in the car, was still teaching Julia: "Every time the company shoots a new film, those bitches are asking for news about the boss, you know? If given a chance, they will loosen their belts faster than you think."
Much faster. White, a tool man, was able to escape from the San Fernando Valley only because of Boss' cultivation. Therefore, he never thought about the heroine."
Fang Zhe didn't know that Marilyn had so many inner dramas. She woke up in the middle of the night and felt sleepy again after eating. However, she woke up very early this time. She got up at six o'clock in the morning and stood in the yard boringly following "
"Chongzhi" looked at each other. He wanted to reach out several times, but when he saw the wary look in this dog's eyes, Fang Zhe gave up and continued to look at each other.
This dog is very interesting. After looking at Fang Zhe for a while, he came over and circled around him, then ignored this weird person. He didn't want to play with himself, so it was boring. Fang Zhe thought about it and went back to find the dog.
When the food came out and I poured a bowl, the insects came flying over me.
Now I can get started. I didn't dare to get started before. After scratching it, the dog didn't resist anymore. It buried its head in eating and ignored Fang Zhe's flattery.
When Wu Mingzhu woke up, she was wearing pajamas. She stood at the door and watched the interaction between humans and dogs. She couldn't help but remind her: "Don't feed him too much. The bug has gained a lot of weight. What it needs is more exercise." She said and brought a dog leash over.
Tie it up and hand it to Fang Zhe, so don't be dumbfounded. Fang Zhe took the dog leash, and the worms that had eaten rushed out. Fang Zhe was taken aback and almost fell down.
The dog stopped moving at the door of the yard and lay there waiting for the door to open. It was so sensible. Fang Zhe opened the door to the yard and the dog ran out again. This time Fang Zhe was prepared and was not led away. Soon Fang Zhe
Zhe realized that this dog was really energetic, and he kept dragging it forward.
Wu Mingzhu shouted from behind: "Don't loosen the dog leash. Dogs here are not allowed to loosen the leash, otherwise they will be fined."
Dog-raising here in the United States is very different from that in China. The management here is very strict. Dogs must be vaccinated and must wear a leash when walking their dogs. The situation in China is just the opposite. Most dogs are left free, and people who are bitten by dogs have to get vaccinated.
This large enterprise that maintains rabies vaccines has created a lot of jobs. To be honest, if you have to imitate the United States, local protectionism may not allow you to do so.
In the end, there is still some wrangling, and it often just gets settled.
After sneaking away for a while, when it was late and he walked back to the door of the yard, Fang Zhe was stopped by a white man.
"Hey, let me meet you. Are you the owner here? By the way, I am Rena Pete. My friends call me Pete."
There was a handsome-looking man in his thirties, dressed like a successful man, and carrying a bag in his hand. Fang Zhe hesitated for a moment: "Hello Peter, what's the matter?"
Peter turned back and pointed to the house across the street: "I live there, we are neighbors. I moved here not long ago, and I heard that you haven't been here for a long time, and all your friends live here. There is a party at my house in the evening, so come with us if you have time.
have a drink."
"Well, that's it. I have to ask my assistant to see if there are any other arrangements for the evening. If I'm free, I'll definitely go." Fang Zhe agreed. Don't say that Americans don't care about human relationships.
It's something imagined by various digests. Americans actually attach great importance to interpersonal relationships, otherwise they would party all day long?
Wu Mingzhu stood on the steps watching this scene, but had no intention of speaking. She waited until Peter left with the bag, then she spoke: "That Peter is in the yacht business, he seems to be the general manager of a leasing company. He asked
I asked him several times whether he needed a second-hand yacht. I was curious as to why he thought of asking me whether to buy one. His wife, Martha, told me that almost every house in this area has a yacht. She knew that I didn’t have one, so I asked.
Are you interested?"
"Madam?" Fang Zhe was confused, and Wu Mingzhu smiled and said: "Yes, his wife, the women in this community like to party when they have nothing to do. I have attended several times and taught them how to play mahjong. Now they have all learned it, and they are more addicted than me.
All big."
"What a sin!" Fang Zhe sighed, walked in and let go of the dog: "I don't eat Western breakfast, what did you do?"
"I cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge. I know you don't like milk and bread." Wu Mingzhu still understood him very well. Fang Zhe responded with a smile: "There is also oatmeal, which I have never been used to. In Western breakfast, it is fried.
Eggs also attract me."
"When Marilyn comes, what are you going to say?" Wu Mingzhu mentioned the business. Fang Zhe lowered his head to drink the porridge, looked up at the fermented bean curd in the plate, took a piece and tasted it, it tasted good: "What else can I say, here is
In Hollywood, we are outsiders and a disadvantaged group. If the price is right, it would be a good idea for me to sell the company and save a lot of trouble. Do you want to sell your shares?"
"At what price do you think it can be sold?" Wu Mingzhu took it very seriously when it came to a huge sum of money. Fang Zhe did not answer and continued to drink porridge slowly. After finishing a bowl, he picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Fifteen
If it’s 100 million, I’ll sell it.”
"It's like you didn't say that." Wu Mingzhu rolled her eyes. The valuation of 1 billion was due to work, and it was still 1.5 billion. Fang Zhe smiled: "By the way, you have to think about immigration.
Is it done?”
"I applied for a green card and have already received it." Wu Mingzhu felt that there must be a follow-up to this issue. She knew some of Fang Zhe's habits very well. Sure enough, Fang Zhe said with a smile: "That's good. I will make some money this time and I plan to do something new."
project. It’s the same as Summit Pictures, start with it, and then raise funds when it’s effective. After about two or three rounds of financing, it should be able to go public.”
"What are your plans?" Wu Mingzhu immediately became energetic. She was still a little tired, but all of it was gone. She looked at the opposite side with bright eyes, waiting for his next words. Fang Zhe lit a cigarette before speaking: "Find someone with that salary for you."
Let a professional manager help you take care of it. This new investment can only be made by you. I can't grow someone who doesn't even have a green card in my hands."
"What investments involve green cards and immigration?" Wu Mingzhu became interested and her curiosity aroused. Fang Zhe did not answer immediately, but casually said: "You will know later, do you have anything to do with Stanford?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Mingzhu became even more curious, but Fang Zhe still didn't explain clearly, and said calmly: "Go and get a master's degree, study as a Stanford student, and then it will be easier to do this in school. Don't ask now,
I won’t say it.”
"Why Stanford?" Wu Mingzhu muttered, but Fang Zhe didn't explain. Wu Mingzhu, who was studying well, sighed: "Do I have to pick up the textbook again? Damn it, you don't care whether others pass the exam or not?"
"Do you still need to take the exam now? Go to your aunt and tell her your idea. She should have a way for you to donate a sum of money and then go to Stanford to study for a master's degree in any major. Whether you can graduate is not the point.
The focus is on the student’s identity.”
In Fang Zhe's memory, he started from Stanford, so he deliberately arranged it like this. He was just afraid that he would mess it up, and then he couldn't get it started, which would be a huge loss.
I can’t remember what the future market value of this company will be, but I’m sure that when the value of having to die is realized, it’s just ridiculous for a foreigner to want to hold a controlling stake. So, the idea of cutting leeks and getting one vote and leaving is
It’s very clear. As a country like the United States, it’s completely normal for it to act like a hooligan. If it doesn’t act like a hooligan, would it still be the United States?
Marilyn finally arrived, smiling from a distance, a real smile. She held her head high and highlighted key points. Fang Zhe could see it, and Wu Mingzhu could naturally see it too. Then she heard Wu Mingzhu's voice, which was so low that it was almost inaudible:
"Female cousin."
Marilyn stood far away, so naturally she didn't hear it. Even if she heard it, she didn't care. She came here today to express her attitude to Wu Mingzhu. Boss belongs to everyone, not just you.
Fang Zhe smiled, went back to the living room and sat down. Marilyn came in with Julia and sat across from her. Wu Mingzhu had to make tea, and the tea cup almost hit Marilyn in the face when she was so angry. In the end, Julia came to help.
, made two cups of coffee, and relied on myself.
Julia was really worried that Wu Mingzhu put something else in the coffee, so it was better to do it herself to avoid being harmed. At least now, Julia is innocent. She is now very grateful that she entered the studio.
Along with Duan Mei, I can get Marilyn's appreciation, the salary is pretty good, and the work is not too hard. The important thing is that I don't have to spend money to live.
Julia hasn't decided yet whether she needs to cooperate with Marilyn. She thinks she needs to test Duan Mei's tone before deciding. Now, no matter what Marilyn says, Julia just keeps it in mind and doesn't dare to risk talking to Duan Mei.
Do it at the risk of relationship breakdown.
"Boss, there is a new situation. I didn't have time to talk about it yesterday." Marilyn was very direct. She knew that work was work. After taking off her windbreaker, Marilyn immediately got into work mode. The advantage of having a heater is to cool down before entering.
Fang Zhe raised his hand to indicate that she was not in a hurry and pointed to the tissue on the table. Marilyn sniffed and felt that she had done the right thing today.
After wiping her nose, Marilyn concentrated: "Goldman Sachs parachuted an assistant, and now Lister is very embarrassed. He is the person in charge of this project, and he has a good relationship with you. The so-called assistant's name is Rhett.
He's here to share the credit. If nothing else, he will cause some trouble."
Fang Zhe looked at Marilyn calmly and said, "How do you think I should deal with it?"
Marilyn fell into deep thought. If she said the wrong thing at this time, all her previous efforts might be wasted.
"I'm from Boss!" Marilyn replied firmly, thinking this was the best answer.
Fang Zhe showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, just wait and see a good show."
Marilyn immediately burst into laughter, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice to show affection: "Can you give me some spoilers?"
At this time, Wu Mingzhu came, put down the tea cup, coughed heavily, and was shocked back from Marilyn who almost pressed her body against Fang Zhe. After all, she was on someone else's territory, so Marilyn would not go too far, so it didn't matter if she offended Wu Mingzhu.
It would be bad if Fang Zhe felt that she didn't know how to advance or retreat. Isn't that the feeling of being sneaky that Boss likes?
As long as you feel it, the rest will come later.
"This is the company's financial report. Each year's summary is sent to Boss by email. This is a summary of all the financial reports of the company since its establishment." Marilyn entered work and became another person. She could always be charming and charming.
She skillfully switches between being shrewd and capable, advancing and retreating freely. Fang Zhe feels that the face-changing in Sichuan Opera is at this level.
Fang Zhe did not ignore Wu Mingzhu and handed her the financial report: "Take a look at it. If you have no problem, talk to Goldman Sachs based on this."
"The key now is not Goldman Sachs, but the addition of several other investors." Wu Mingzhu had already seen it and pretended not to care. Fang Zhe smiled after hearing this: "If I'm not anxious, they are the ones who are anxious.
.”
Julia silently observed from the sidelines, analyzing every detail of Fang Zhe's movements in her mind. When he said this, Fang Zhe really seemed very calm, and he really didn't look anxious at all.
