Chicago 1990

After Bill McKennick ran away, Murdoch stopped talking, so no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere in the screening room was a bit stiff.

Song Ya was too lazy to break the silence, even though the media tycoon sat next to him, but now you are asking me, shouldn't it be you who took the initiative to talk about business?

In addition, the broken sample of Titanic does not look like it can recover the cost. The large scale ship model that costs a lot of money will be a negative equity that is ridiculed by the media, because the future water world and the cutthroat island are two big ones. The pit movies are all so dry, and the crew of Cutthroat Island is still all wooden antique sailing warships!By the end of the twentieth century, most of the reconstruction of that thing would still be done manually!Labor in Europe...

It’s funny to say that FoxNews still discredited himself from time to time, but he and his big boss watched Fox Pictures film samples in the Fox Television Network’s review room, and outside Brooklyn, New York, there are a bunch of old men. Tirelessly making trouble in the name of supporting oneself is more active than Chicago, because Chicago is too cold now, and few people are willing to go to the streets.

It's messy, magical reality. If you don't talk, I won't say it anyway. It depends on who can survive.

He made up his mind, his eyes staring away.

I remembered that when I was bidding at an auction, I first fancy a piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain, but after raising the placard, a young couple in the front row also raised the plaque. They increased the price and the other party immediately followed. The man suddenly Looking back at himself, he looked familiar, Sloan immediately whispered that the other party was Kennedy, so that he would not fight.

Song Ya remembered that the Donkey Party politician in North Carolina who competed with Jesse Helms for the seat of the U.S. Senate, Gantt, just before and after being endorsed by JFK Kennedy, broke the news that he gave Jesse Helms. Sri Lanka’s campaign was funded.

He seems to be competing for the New York State Senate in two thousand years?Senator David Patterson of the New York State Assembly of the Manhattan Gang is also thinking about that position...

And he can be regarded as David Patterson's gold master, is it because of this?

In any case, Song Ya doesn't want to provoke the Kennedy family prince, the political star and popular lover who is highly anticipated by the Donkey Party, and the most attractive American man.

I heard that this guy is very high-profile, and his personality is relatively unassuming. Song Ya didn't raise the placard any more, but after taking a chance to get Dali's watercolor painting, he and Sloan hurriedly left the auction hall.

Thinking of this, the door of the screening room was pushed open, Bill McKennick returned with another copy, and a female paramedic came in at the same time.

"Sorry, my stomach is not so good..."

"Please."

After the two had a brief conversation, Murdoch got up, stood in front of the filming room window, and took the pills and water from the nursing staff.

It’s very close to Christmas, and the copies of the day’s love have probably been distributed to various theaters. Naturally, it is impossible to be an unfinished product like Titanic. When Murdoch sits back after taking the medicine, the room is dark again and the movie starts immediately. show.

It should be a family love comedy starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney. George Clooney’s mature male charm is perfect. He and Xue Linfen have the traces of old Hollywood movie stars. Xue Linfen is a bit like Elizabeth Taylor, he is generally considered to be comparable to Clark Gable's image and temperament.

Of course, it’s hard to tell about personal circumstances. Xue Linfen is a film-receiving ghost who has lost the most beautiful years. George Clooney has a unique vision and a superb wrist. After the story of the emergency room became famous for one season, he left the crew to break into Hollywood has now received the actor of the Warner blockbuster Batman and Robin, the super comic star in the eyes of Americans, and the icon of the top actor: Lord Wayne.

"Pfeiffer is starting to pick up mom's play now?"

When Michelle Pfeiffer, who played the single mother, appeared on the stage, Murdoch suddenly asked in surprise.

"Yes, she is almost forty years old." Bill McKennick replied.

"Time flies so fast, I remember Pfeiffer is still a young and lovely girl..."

Murdoch sighed that old people often had, and turned to shake his head and smiled bitterly at himself.

"It's just that you don't watch her movies often." Song Ya laughed at the end of her speech.

"Watching movies? Haha, I'm too busy, let alone movies, I don't have time to talk about specific matters in this area." Murdoch said.

Seduce me to talk about Titanic?I won't talk!"I understand." Song Yahan nodded with a smile, and stopped talking.

"APLUS, do you know how Madoff evaluates you?" Murdoch asked again.

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} "How?"

"He said you have the temperament of an old-school Chicago businessman." Murdoch said.

"Wow, that was his ridiculous praise, I am flattered, unworthy, unworthy..." Song Ya grinned, straightforward and humble.

Murdoch felt that he really thought it was a good thing, smiled, and then turned back to watch the movie intently.

The area where Chicago is located is the largest grain planting and livestock breeding area in the United States. The Great Lakes area next to it is rich in iron ore, coal and non-ferrous metals. Later, the Michigan Canal and railroad were built in Illinois, and the logistics became convenient for industrial and agricultural products. Shipped to all parts of the world.

Therefore, if the first batch of businessmen who started from that were not agriculture and animal husbandry tycoons, or coal-steel complex mining, steel, and railway tycoons, the commonality of these people was to base themselves on traditional industries. They were rude in the two brutal industrial revolutions. , Cruel, cruel, and ruthless, each has its own sphere of influence. Various shops, hotels, taverns, etc. are opened in farming and pastoral areas, mining areas, and railway platforms. While the landlords are cold-blooded against workers and competitors, they like to Every steel pin under your eyes earns your pocket.

Since the Civil War, the First World War, the Prohibition Era, and the surrounding areas of Chicago during World War II were not affected, Chicago businessmen all made their fortunes in the peaceful environment. This kind of cross-industry management and tentacle concept has been passed down until It has only begun to hit a wall in recent decades.

Now is the era of specialization and informatization, where you are not expensive, but the old Barn, Sears Group and other old-school Chicago businessmen and consortiums who like to play like this have gradually become lonely, and Chicago suddenly rose to get involved in clothing. Young black people in the wine industry, records, movies, paper media, television stations, publishing, IT, venture capital and even heavy chemical industry!Exactly the same outdated gameplay, exactly the same boldly, but just...

Murdoch rubbed his stomach, which had just started to react after taking the medicine, and recalled yesterday.

I was taking a photo with Mrs. Astor and the others, and when I saw Bill McKennick opening the door cautiously, he took a probe.

"Don't be sneaky, Bill, just talk about it!" He scolded when he was upset that he was going to wipe the ass for the Titanic project himself.

"It's okay, Ovitz took APLUS away just now..."

Bill McKennick walked in and whispered, "I thought he was brought here to see Mr. Buffett, and Ovitz said he wanted to introduce him."

He frowned and glanced at Warren Buffett who was sitting in front of him. He didn't expect Buffett to be very keen, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, did you ask Ovitz to bring APLUS here?" He asked to confirm, but knew that it should be impossible.

"No, Ovitz and I just made an appointment to have lunch together tomorrow, and said they would bring someone."

Buffett answered casually.

Murdoch knew that this second-richest man was the easiest to see among everyone in the room. He liked to deal with young upstarts, imparting experience and absorbing fresh ideas from each other, constantly adapting to the times, and following the trend of the capital market.

"Oh, then you go out."

Sure enough, he understood Ovitz’s half-truth and annoying gameplay. Just about to send Bill McKennick away, Dr. Kissin suddenly turned around and asked, “Is APLUS the singer of Chinese descent?”

"Correct."

"David, he seems to have graduated from the University of Chicago." With interest, Dr. Kissing pushed David Rockefeller, who was napping next to him.

"I know that when chatting with the president of the University of Chicago not long ago, the principal also mentioned this boy, praising him for being smart, energetic, and not lagging behind while running for his career. The principal was very sorry, saying that he had promised to continue. I went to law school, but then I forgot about further studies." David Rockefeller replied.

"I remember, it was the Netscape who scolded your son and Ballmer on the Internet... a minority shareholder?"

This group of people even started talking about APLUS, and Warren Buffett asked old Gates with a smile.

"Don't look at me, I haven't asked the juniors for a long time." Old Gates raised his hands.

"The boy does have the temperament of an old-school Chicago businessman." Madoff inserted this sentence at that time.

"Don't be distracted men, we are taking pictures."

Mrs. Astor complained back, "Rupert, if you are all interested in that kid, let him come over and let everyone see him. Jacob hasn't arrived yet anyway," she said.

"May I?"

try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} Murdoch was very surprised. What was even more surprising was that no one in the room refused to speak out. He looked at David Rockefeller and the old man didn't say anything. Is that acquiescence?"Bill, go and bring APLUS here." So Bill McKennick ordered...

"I'll go, Ovitz... you all know." Madoff walked out himself.

Really calm down!

He returned to the screening room in his thoughts, silently glanced at the young mixed-race boy beside him, and made up his mind not to open the Titanic, at best using other means.

"Let's stop here." For him, there is nothing to see in romantic comedies. After more than forty minutes, he made a sound to stop the screening, "I have something else, APLUS?"

"Oh, yes, yes."

Song Ya also stood up, "I will give it to you."

"No, I'm not that old."

Flatly refusing to support him, he walked out of the filming room and whispered to Bill McKennick, who was following him, "Where is the negotiation progress?"

"Yelemov, who represents him, insists on dividing the revenue according to the box office amount, but also divides the entire chain income of TV broadcast authorization, video tape, and weekly..."

Bill McKennick replied, "The ratio between the two parties is disputed."

"Where is Paramount? Still reluctant to let go?" he asked again.

"Shirley Lansing insists on taking the North Rice box office alone..." Bill McKennick is obviously inclined, "The conditions are too harsh, or you and Mr. Redstone will..."

"NO!"

Indeed, the division means that everyone earns together and loses together, but what can be left after Beimi box office is taken away?The legend of the Titanic has not spread to regions outside the United Kingdom and the United States for so many years...

"He didn't ask to take the soundtrack of the movie or something? He didn't ask to intervene in editing?" Murdoch asked.

"No, Yeremov said that APLUS didn't have the energy to score another film, and we had already signed the soundtrack to Sony Columbia Records..." Bill McKennick replied.

"Ok."

Murdoch touched his chin and thought about it, "Just do it, no matter which side of the money you take, you can get it as soon as possible..."

"Ok."

"Also, I am very dissatisfied with today's sample, and even embarrassed me!"

He left a word and strode away.

"Worn out!"

Song Ya, who left the screening room on his hind legs and hurried back to Chicago, fell on the sofa as soon as he arrived home, "I will continue to rehearse tomorrow morning..." He hugged Shakira and complained.

"What about that picture?" Sloan took off his coat and flipped through his bag.

"inside."

"found it!"

Sloan got the photo, "Are there any photo frames available?"

"Ask Xuelin, just a group photo."

"A group photo worth 60 million yuan!"

"Not so exaggerated Sloan..."

Song Ya didn't care about it anymore, and went back to the room to sleep after a short rest.

In the middle of the night, he woke up and walked into the study. The photos Sloan mentioned before had been stuffed into the exquisite frame and stayed quietly on the table.

Mrs. Astor and Dr. Kissing are sitting in the center of the picture, Warren Buffett is sitting on the other side of Mrs. Astor, and David Rockefeller is sitting on a separate sofa next to him. Old Gates is with Madoff and Murdo. Ke stood behind the four, while he was at the very corner, talking to Murdoch.

It's really a bit cautious, why didn't I feel at all at the time, and because Murdoch was shorter than himself, he couldn't look straight into the mirror when he lowered his head and spoke...

Very good. Although there are various conspiracy theories surrounding these top bosses, what is not enough to have the opportunity to take photos with them?

Song Ya proudly put the photo frame on the small table in front of the honor corner of the study, but the space is not enough. In addition to taking photos of herself with Aunt Susie and other family members, she also has Xue Linfen and two children, ex-wife and Xiao Lei. Plus, when I had a dinner with his ex-wife, Walter, David Cole, and Roberto Klevell in New York...

Then there are some politicians, and his ex-wife and the current president and his wife, himself and Gore, Underwood, the governor and his wife, Dingkins, etc...

Of course, that'grand-grandchild relationship' with Mandela could not be conspicuous.

Re-arranged the frame, "Forget it." Under consideration, he chose to move the photo with the Michele couple to the back.

"perfect!"

He looked left and right, slowly tasting alone.
