George is a senior executive of the Hollywood movie giant 20th Century Fox. After more than ten hours of journey, he finally arrived in Cannes, France.
He is about 40 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a meticulous suit, and a serious look. He is a typical business elite.
However, now his expression will show a hint of anxiety from time to time
He agreed with the decision of 21st Century Fox to invest in the shooting of the Titanic and promoted it at a high-level meeting, but he did not expect it to fall into Cameron's pit.
The company has invested $1.4 billion, which has made the entire company very tight in cash flow, but the day when the filming was completed is still far away. Now George has the heart to kill Cameron.
So Fox can only find other investors, but the only interested Paramount conditions are very harsh. He is only willing to invest $60 million, but he needs the entire North American box office share of the movie, or 50% of the global box office share of the box office.
This makes Fox really hard to accept
I paid 1.4 billion, and you only paid 0.6 billion, and then the fuck told me that the profit was divided in half!?
Now that he heard Cameron say that a Hong Kong rich man was interested in this cheating video, George flew over to Cannes as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Then, George saw a young man with black hair and blue eyes in a suite in an upscale hotel. He was surprised to see a young man with black hair and blue eyes.
Kong Rik-kwang greets George to sit down on the sofa, Monica Bellucci, wearing a black OL outfit, serves coffee for the two of them at the right time
After being fully irrigated by the man, this sexy woman was even more amazing in appearance. Her curvy and hot body swayed when walking, which made George amazed.
Fortunately, he is an executive of a large company after all. He is used to the storm and quickly controls his emotions.
Kong Riguang looked at the other party's card and smiled: Mr. George, your company is so efficient, and he sent someone so quickly.
George also smiled: Mr. Kong laughed, please forgive me for taking the initiative to disturb him this time.
He is a guy who is good at business negotiations, he is definitely a person who can talk nonsense for a day without repetition. He can unknowingly praise his partner to be comfortable.
But how could Kong Riguang waste so much time on this boring nonsense?
Wouldn't it be better to have more women when you have time?
After a few polite words, he got to the point: My opinion has been put forward to your company through Director Cameron. I wonder what you think?
George took a sip of coffee and said: Maybe Director Cameron gave Mr. Kong some wrong information. In fact, Fox did not have any financial problems. He just had to wait for the capital to turn back and we could continue to invest. Cameron was too impatient and hoped that all the funds would be in place at once. I believe Mr. Kong also knew that we had invested 1.4 billion, and we were determined and able to independently undertake the entire investment in this film.
In terms of business negotiations, we must hope to ask the other party for the price as much as possible. Then, naturally, we cannot get the other party’s trump card at the beginning. It is ideal to be more arrogant and make the other party unable to figure out the routine.
George asked Cameron and knew that the great director had not disclosed that Fox was whispering to invite Paramount to invest together, so Kong Riguang naturally could not understand the financial dilemma of the Titanic.
Although Fox has in principle agreed to Kong Riguang's requirement to share 40% of the global box office profit with an investment of US$80 million, he naturally hopes to gain more benefits and let Fox colleagues see his abilities
He continued: Although Mr. Kong proposed to invest $8,000 as the production cost of the movie, it can indeed solve the problem of funding for continuing filming now, but in fact, after the film is finished, our company must be responsible for the distribution channel, global publicity, and contact theaters and other follow-up work. Such a large production is estimated to have to invest $20 to 30 million in the future as publicity and other expenses. The actual total cost of the movie will reach $24 to 2.5 billion, while Mr. Kong's 80 million investment actually only accounts for about 30% of the total cost, but requires a 40% profit share, which is too high.
Kong Riguang asked without comment: So what is Fox’s opinion?
George lifted his gold-rimmed glasses and said: We recommend that we share the profit according to the actual investment in the cost ratio, which is fair to both parties.
Kong Riguang smiled and looked at George with a fool's eyes. He said nothing, making George feel furious.
After a while, Master Kong stretched and said: So that's it. It seems that it is indeed a bit unfair to you. I have never liked to do things that force others. Forget it. I don't attach much importance to the movie Titanic, but I just want to play with it. You Fox, please find another investor.
George was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would directly lift the table like this, and refused without any room for anything.
Normally speaking, business negotiations should not be bargaining between both parties, and in the end, everyone gives up some interests to compromise with each other?
Then I heard Kong Riguang's voice: Monica, please send Mr. George out and let Fox talk to Paramount slowly
George suddenly had a cold sweat. Why did this guy know about Paramount?
He was also a bachelor and immediately said: Actually, Mr. Kong's conditions are already very sincere. I personally agree with 100% but there are a small group of unknown people in my company who are opposed, so I just tested Mr. Kong's attitude. I am really sorry.
At this time, Monica had already walked over when she heard the greeting. Kong Riguang smiled and patted his thigh to let the charming beauty sit down. He put one hand on the woman's waist and asked harshly: Is that true? Mr. George doesn't think my proposal is unfair?
George looked at the sexy and charming Monica Beluch's bird-like appearance, and was really envious and jealous, but he still had to pretend to be a grandson and said: Fair, Mr. Kong's opinion has taken into account the interests of both parties, and there is no problem at all.
Since Paramount's incident was leaked, it means that his trump card has been known to the other party, and it is meaningless to resist again.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: OK, I have another suggestion
George's face changed, he took a breath and said in a deep voice: Mr. Kong, please say
Kong Riguang thought for a while and said: You mentioned that the post-production of the film will require a large amount of money. Then I will invest another 20 million, which means a total investment of 100 million US dollars. It is expected that it will be almost enough, but I ask for a share of 50% of the global box office profit.
George was stunned for a moment and frowned: Mr. Kong, if this is the case, I need to report to the president and let him make the decision.
Kong Riguang said nothing: It's easy, but my time is precious, you must answer me within today, otherwise my interests may change at any time
George quickly calculated and felt that such conditions were acceptable, at least much better than those on Paramount, so he replied: In principle, Mr. Kong's conditions should be fine. I'll ask for instructions and I will reply to you in a while.
So George walked aside, took out his cell phone and called to report.
Kong Riguang was so happy that he hugged Monica and made out. The slightly extreme action made the Italian sexy goddess coquettishly angry. After all, there was still George, an outsider in the room.
Soon, George finished his phone call, walked over again, and said sincerely: Mr. Kong, our company has agreed to your conditions. Do you think we will sign the specific contract specifications?
Kong Riguang said without surprise: Your company has made a wise choice. Well, my group has a branch in the United States. I asked them to find a lawyer to contact you first to finalize the details. In two days, I will fly to the United States to sign a formal contract with you.
He thought about it and said: By the way, I have a small request
George's face turned a little pale, but he still smiled reluctantly: Mr. Kong, please say
Kong Rik-kwang: I ask the theme song of Titanic to be the person who asks someone to compose and lyrics and sing. I am responsible for the production and promotional costs, but the copyright and global sales revenue of the theme song belong to me personally, and is independent of the movie itself.
George's face showed a strange look. He didn't know when the movie could be finished. He was thinking about the theme song so soon?
In his opinion, this was just a trivial matter. I'm afraid it was the personal interest of the young rich man, so he nodded and agreed
Anyway, it's just a theme song, it's not a big deal
Kong Riguang immediately smiled and patted Monica's plump buttocks, let her stand up, and then he also took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with George, which was considered to have completed the negotiation.
Titanic's theme song "My Heart Eternal" is a super divine song that has become popular all over the world. Its global sales exceeded 10 million, topped the European singles chart for nearly half a year, sweeping the music scenes everywhere. The total revenue of this song alone has reached an incredible amount of nearly 200 million US dollars.
While Titanic swept the world box office, "My Heart Eternal" can also say to all the singles of the same period: I'm not targeting anyone, I mean, everyone here is rubbish
After George left, Kong Riguang hugged Monica again, gently stroked his plump breasts through the clothes, and said softly: Monica, have you considered it clearly? What about my proposal?
Monica squinted her eyes, enjoying the caress of the man, and sighed: You gave me a generous treatment, but I am just an actor, I am afraid that I can't do other things.
Kong Riguang said: Actually, you don’t need to do anything. You just want to supervise the shooting progress on the Titanic set as my investment representative, and report to me regularly. You are temporarily living in the United States and official vehicles. I will let the US branch of Sunshine Group solve it for you. If you want to act in Hollywood, I will not stop you. You just need to know me in advance.
Monica said hesitantly: You will give me an annual salary of $1 million just for this? I am really sorry
As she said that, her face turned a little red and said: BOSS, do you want to support me as a long-term mistress? But you shouldn't stay in the United States... I'm taking your money for nothing, I'm a little...
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: Monica, you are a priceless treasure, but the world has not yet understood your value.
He said this sentence from his heart. If Monica Bellucci had become a recognized sexy goddess in the Western world after 2000, one million dollars would be enough to have a meal with her.
Now Monica, who can only perform in Italy in small productions and has little income, has no reason to refuse. Returning to Hollywood has always been her dream. This man’s suggestion is really a public-private and private slut for her.
Seeing Monica nodding, Kong Rik-guang said: Two days later, I will go to the United States with you, sign the agreement quickly, and then you will stay there. I have to rush back to Hong Kong.
He called to learn that Zhou Huimin's optic nerve decompression surgery will be 9 days away. It is still time to fly to the United States to sign a contract and then rush back.
At this time, Kong Riguang's phone rang, it turned out to be Cameron
Hello Mr. Kong, I heard from George that the agreement has been completed?
That's right, I will fly to the Fox headquarters in the United States to sign a contract, and then the funds will be available in the short term.
That's great, the movie can continue to start filming. Mr. Kong, thank you haha, then I will return to the United States to prepare immediately tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Kong, why don't we have dinner to celebrate together tonight?
Since it was invited by a great director, I would naturally be disrespectful. Please set the location
After making an appointment, Kong Riguang hung up the phone
At this time, Monica beside her said hesitantly: BOSS, are you optimistic about the Titanic? According to the current investment amount, the box office must reach the level of Jurassic Park to get the money back.
Kong Riguang laughed and hugged the Italian goddess, saying: Monica, I can predict the future, do you believe it?
Monica curled her lips, obviously not believing
Monica, let's do some exercise first, and then go have a meal with the big director.
Oh, won’t you be tired? I think BOSS you shouldn’t invest in shooting Titanic, but film Superman, just be the starring actor.
Fuck? I like it, haha!
At dinner time, Kong Riguang came to the agreed restaurant with Monica, who was emitting a lazy atmosphere.
Cameron had arrived and waited first. The beautiful Sophie Marso was also here.
Kong Riguang was strange in his heart, but immediately showed a surprise smile and said: Sophie, I've seen you again
Sophie Marceau agreed with a smile, then looked at Monica Beluchi with curious eyes
She didn't know Monica, but even as a woman, she felt that the beauty in front of her was so tempting. Every inch of her skin was radiant and stirred up the men's hormones.
Monica knows Sophie Marceau. Sophie Marceau played the heroine in the movie at the age of 14 and became famous quickly. There are not many people in Europe who don’t know her.
Kong Riguang was also secretly comparing the two goddesses. In terms of appearance, Sophie Marceau's oriental appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of Asians, and his temperament is also purer.
Monica is very beautiful and can bring a strong visual impact to men, and her temperament tends to be sexy and charming.
Of course, if we only talk about the attractiveness of men in the peak years, Monica should be better. She is the kind that walks in front of you and can stop breathing for a minute. She is the kind that sits in the lobby of the hotel to make all men look sideways, and all women are full of crisis.
Monica Bellucci's attraction has nothing to do with it, just because of this extremely tempting body, this beautiful face that is incomparable.
Overall, among the actresses who came from Europe in recent decades, they should be in the second place in terms of charm, which is similar to Catherine Zeta Jones
There has always been only one person in the first stage, French actress Isabella Ajani
Even though she is nearly 40 years old now, in the recently staged movie "Queen Margo", this legendary beauty is still so beautiful that it makes people hold their breath
Four people sat down in the private room, and Cameron explained: Mr. Kong, I have already talked to Sophie and are about to invite her to be the heroine of the Titanic
Kong Riguang was stunned. The heroine of the Titanic was obviously Kate Winslet Ah, so why did she become Sophie Marceau?
Has history changed because of my intervention?
Although Fei Wen has always been criticized by many movie fans, because of preconceived ideas, in everyone's memory, the heroine of the Titanic is her. If someone changes, wouldn't it be strange?
In fact, this is really because of Kong Riguang. Cameron has more US$20 million in shooting funds than in the original history, which can be said to be much looser.
Although it is not much to say $20 million, Hollywood's top actresses such as Streisand Barbara, Meg Ryan, etc. are paid more than $10 million. If you find this level of 20 million, you will have to spend all of them all in one go.
However, there are many choices for famous actresses who can get paid for millions of dollars, and Sophie Marceau is one of them.
Sophie Marceau is not a first-tier superstar, but at least his appearance and popularity are stronger than Winslet.
Cameron, who is more affordable, is a little disliked by Winslet, who is now super cheap but not famous.
Moreover, there is an advantage to choosing Sophie Marceau, at least the box office in France is definitely fine. A lot of French people will win the French Rose, which will also help the overall box office in Europe.
After all, it is the largest investment in history of more than 200 million US dollars, and Cameron is also walking on thin ice. If the box office fails, he will be afraid that he will not be ashamed to continue making movies.
Seeing Kong Riguang's puzzled look, Sophie Marceau felt a little nervous. Doesn't he want to be the heroine?
After all, Kong Riguang is now the main investor in the movie, and even Cameron has to consider his attitude.
She looked at Monica Beluch, who was close to Kong Riguang, and said to herself: Does he want to praise this woman as the protagonist, so he spent so much money to invest in movies? As she thought about it, her eyes were filled with a hint of doubt.
In order to make their favorite actress famous, the rich invested in making movies. This is not a unique phenomenon in China, it is the same in the whole world.
For Sophie Marceau, playing the leading actress in Titanic is very good for her to consolidate her position in Hollywood
She just collaborated with Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson as the heroine to shoot the blockbuster "Brave Heart" and is expected to be released at the end of May.
And if she continues to play the leading actress in Hollywood blockbusters, she will have a good chance to join the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier actresses
For this reason, even if her lover Zulasky, who had lived with her for more than ten years, strongly opposed it, she refused.
Anyway, we are all starting to get tired of each other, so we might as well take the opportunity to break up
In fact, Sophie Marceau was also overthinking. Cameron was a famous tyrant on the set. Even if you pointed a gun at his head, it would not necessarily change any decision he made about his movie.
Kong Riguang came back to his senses and said to Sophie Maso: That's great, I look forward to your performance in the movie Sophie
Seeing Kong Riguang agree happily, Sophie Marceau let go of his worries a little and smiled and started talking to Kong Riguang.
The meal was finished quickly, and the guests and guests were having fun
After dinner, Kong Riguang and Monica returned to the hotel together
Entering the room, Monica asked with a smile: BOSS, are you interested in Sophie Marceau?
Kong Riguang was stunned and said strangely: How do you know, Monica?
Monica smiled and said: The eyes you looked at her secretly, as if you wanted to swallow her into your stomach.
Kong Riguang touched his head a little awkwardly. Could it be that his secret sneak glance was so conspicuous?
Monica said a little jealously: Sophie Marcelo is indeed a big beauty, and she will be the heroine in the super big production of Titanic. Even a man likes her
Kong Riguang walked over, hugged the woman gently, and said softly: Let's do this, in one or two years, how about I privately invested in preparing a movie for you?
Unexpectedly, Monica shook her head and said: BOSS, I don’t like this kind of movie. It’s pure. I can’t let the audience recognize that my performance is my own acting problem. Even if you can use money to force me to make me famous, this is not what I want.
Kong Riguang couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he immediately figured it out. If he could put down his figure with Monica Bellucci's condition, he wouldn't have to wait until he was 30 years old to become famous.
She has her own persistence in her film career. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that she was the beauty Malianna, who turned upside down in "The Legend of Sicily" later.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: I understand, but if you have anything you want me to help in the future, just ask.
Monica Zhanyan smiled and said: Thank you, BOSS
The next day, Kong Riguang and Monica took a flight to Los Angeles, USA.
On the one hand, we need to complete the signing of Fox; on the other hand, we need to see the overall situation of Nasdaq Technology stocks that we have been planning since last year.
The trip to France is too tight, so there is no time to deal with the beauty Sophie Marceau, but she will soon be the heroine of the Titanic. As an investor, she is afraid that she will not have a chance?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but remember that in the original history, Sophie Marcelo and Monica Beluci were close friends. Hehe, if they were flying together, it would be really exciting.
Just imagination makes people hard
It's a pity that there are many inconveniences on the plane, so I can't just take off my pants from the seat and mess with women Ah
Arriving at Los Angeles International Airport, the top three in the United States, Fox has sent someone to pick it up.
Regarding this contract, 20th Century Fox is afraid that it will pay more attention to Kong Riguang's
Fox is an industry owned by Australian media king Murdoch. Famous movies such as Star Wars, Alien, Home Alone, Life and Death Speed, etc. are produced by this company.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Fox may not be able to take on all the investment in the Titanic independently, but this is too risky. If you lose money, no incumbent leader can bear such a big responsibility.
In addition, finding investors to share risks is the most ideal way
After a night off, the next morning, under the guidance of George, Fox's senior manager, Kong Riguang and Monica arrived at the headquarters of Fox Company.
As one of the eight major Hollywood giants, Fox has its own cinema
If it were the era of the past life, Kong Riguang would have been browsing everywhere if he had the opportunity to come here.
But now he is a rich man, and he can't just pick up his composure and followers who don't look squinting to the office building area like he does when he leaves the city in the countryside.
As soon as he got off the car, Kong Riguang saw a tall and dressed beauty walking out of the office building, looking very familiar.
George, who was ahead, took the initiative to say hello: Miss Taylor, how are your new drama?
Taylor?
Kong Riguang immediately remembered that this was the elf princess in "The Lord of the Rings" later?
Remember, Liv Taylor!
But now Liv Taylor looks just seventeen or eighteen years old, full of youthful charm, far less mature and beautiful than Kong Riguang's impression
She should be a little taller than Monica Bellucci, her height is estimated to be close to 1.8 meters. Even if she is not wearing high heels, she looks about the same height as Kong Riguang.
In addition, she is wearing narrow jeans, and her two slender legs have excellent lines, which is very attractive.
But Liv Taylor answered in a crisp voice: It hasn't been agreed yet, director O'Connor is just preparing for the preliminary work, and it's not decided when the filming will start.
At this moment, Liv Taylor saw Kong Riguang behind George, and was stunned for a moment, his pretty face slightly flushed.
She was born in 1977 and is only eighteen years old now. It was the time when a girl Huaichun liked to see young handsome guys the most. This instinct is not immune to even female celebrities.
Kong Riguang immediately took a step forward, made an invitation to shake hands, and introduced himself: Hello Miss Taylor, my name is Kong Riguang, I am a businessman from Hong Kong
Liv Taylor quickly politely stretched out his fair jade hand to hold the man, and then said as if he had remembered something: Ah! Are you the rich Asian businessman who invested in the Titanic?
This news has spread?
Kong Riguang frowned slightly, but it didn't matter much, so he smiled and said: That's right, Miss Taylor's information is so well-informed.
Liv Taylor said in a panic: I...I didn't mean it, but I happened to hear this just now and looked at George, whose face turned a little darker.
Kong Riguang hurriedly said: It's okay, anyway, it will be announced after signing the contract today, so there is no need to hide it from others.
Liv Taylor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then realized that his jade hand had been held by this handsome man for a long time. Then he pulled out his face with a blush and said goodbye and left quickly.
George came over and said: Mr. Kong knows Taylor? She is a newcomer who has just made a movie, but the company is optimistic about her potential and is preparing to open a new movie called "The Secret of Love" for her.
Of course, Kong Riguang had no impression of this drama, so he nodded and said: Your company has always had a good vision, otherwise he wouldn't bet on Cameron.
George really couldn't figure out whether Kong Rik-guang's words were praised or derogatory, and he was so weird that he couldn't make any comments.
Walking into the office, the staff of Sunshine Group's US branch and the lawyers invited were already waiting.
Kong Riguang carefully looked at the contract and felt that there was no problem, so he waved his pen to sign and seal it and confirmed the investment of 100 million US dollars.
After the work was done, Kong Riguang refused the Fox banquet on the grounds of being in a hurry, but instead took the business car from the American branch of Sunshine Group and rushed to Silicon Valley.
The itinerary from Los Angeles to San Francisco Silicon Valley is roughly 600 kilometers. Normally, it can be reached in about 7 hours.
Several senior executives from the US branch were also in the car at this time
Sunshine Group's US branch is located in Manhattan, New York. It would take five or six hours to fly from Los Angeles. Kong Riguang naturally didn't want to bump into this way, so he summoned several executives to bring the company's relevant reports and took them to Los Angeles to review them.
Now on the trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, he is taking a car while carefully reading the company's information, asking his subordinates from time to time, but he really has the style of a boss.
Monica, sitting in the back row, said intimately: This is his real side? It sounds like the entire company's investment layout is executed according to his instructions, which is amazing!
At this time, a senior official flattered: BOSS is really unique in vision. The Netscape Company you are optimistic about is now in a very good situation. It is already the boss of the browser market. Last year, the funds invested in them in venture capital increased by at least several times.
Another executive also said: Other technology stocks like Cisco and Apple are in good shape, and the company's investment performance is ideal. The boss, should we go to Netscape first when we go to Silicon Valley?
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: No, let’s go to Yahu first
The executive said unexpectedly: Yahoo? That small company that has just been established? What kind of classification search business do they do?
Kong Riguang met with Yahoo founder Jerry Yang at Stanford University in the United States half a year ago, and provided $4 million in starting funds in private name, occupying 40% of Yahoo's equity.
Since this private investment has not been passed through the company, the subordinates of Sunshine Group are not aware of it.
Yahoo is not very satisfied now. Although it already has a certain business volume, its development growth rate does not fully meet Yang Zhiyuan's ideals
Because competitors emerge, Lycs and Excite are also doing search engine services, and their development speed is not slower than Yahoo at all
The biggest problem is that although Yahoo already has a certain user base, it cannot solve the problem of profit model
It is now 1995, in the early stages of the development of the Internet, and no one could have thought of how rich profits a monopoly search engine could make through the bidding rankings of searches in various fields (such as Google and Baidu in later generations)
At the same time, a website that mainly retrieves the entire page cannot be filled with advertisements. Kong Riguang's early investment of $4 million has already spent most of it, but Yahoo is still in a state of not being able to make ends meet.
Anyway, according to the current rate of burning money, Yahoo probably has to find a way to raise funds in the second half of the year, which simply gave Zhiyuan Yang a headache and couldn't sleep well.
Kong Riguang continued to read the information. When he arrived at the last folder, he was stunned and said: What is this?
The subordinates around me answered: BOSS Didn’t you ask us to find information about a Chinese student studying at the University of Toronto some time ago? I invited a private detective to investigate. The recent investigation results have come out.
Kong Riguang patted his head. He had too many things recently and really forgot that there was still something else.
Yuan Li told him that after Yu Feihong left Beijing Film Academy, he might have gone to the University of Toronto to study. He called the American branch to verify the authenticity, but he never cared about it since then.
At this moment, I saw the secretly taken photos in the folder. A beautiful and intellectual oriental beauty appeared on the paper. The beautiful memories of the beautiful girl's jade body that night suddenly surged into her heart.
Book a flight from San Francisco to Toronto for me, well, the time is set tomorrow afternoon
From Silicon Valley in San Francisco to Toronto, Canada, it takes about 5 and a half hours to fly. Since you are all here in the United States, then take a walk to Canada.
Yu Feihong doesn’t know what’s going on now?
Yu Feihong, who was muttered by Kong Riguang, was staying in the rented apartment and reading quietly. Now she has gradually adapted to living alone in a foreign country.
She was still confused when she was alone, but fortunately she met a good Chinese sister
Although he is an international student from Taiwan, he has the same voice and voice as his mother tongue, and has given Yu Feihong a lot of help
It is the apartment she rents now, and she also rents it with that Taiwanese girl.
But recently, her newly recognized girl has caused her a lot of trouble
At this time, the sound of opening the door came, and a tall and beautiful girl with black hair shawls walked in.
Sister Hong, you are reading again
Zhiling, are you back so soon?
This beauty from Taiwan is named Lin Chi-ling. She is 21 years old and studies in the Department of Western Art History at the University of Toronto.
Yu Feihong is now 24 years old, a graduate student
Lin Chiling smiled like a flower, shook the CD box in her hand, and said excitedly: Finally I bought it, the latest MV of Kong Riguang Mandarin songs
Yu Feihong's expression froze. Her sister is actually a fan of Kong Riguang. She has a few Mandarin songs such as "Dongfeng Break" and "Chrysanthemum Platform" every day, which makes her have to hear that person's voice every day.
The sky shows that the poor Yu Feihong went away from Canada just to avoid that man, drive him out of his mind, and restore his pure and ordinary life
Now because of Lin Chiling, I always come into contact with information related to Kong Riguang.
Lin Chiling didn't pay attention to Yu Feihong so much. She quickly unpacked the packaging and then put the CD into the playback machine. Soon, the handsome young master Kong appeared on the TV.
Yu Feihong saw Kong Riguang appear and his whole body trembled. The crazy and erotic memories immediately emerged in her mind.
The man was pressed under him and took away his innocence, but the first time he was fascinated by the climax, and the embarrassment was repeated. The shameful scene really made this elegant beauty difficult to face
Moreover, even if you deliberately forget it, it cannot wash away the mark of that man on her
Occasionally, I dream of lying on the bad guy's arms, feeling sweet, and then kissing and doing something shameful.
When I woke up, even my underwear was soaked
Yu Feihong didn't know that Kong Riguang had plug-in skills and fell in love over time, but he just thought that it was because he was his first man, so he was deeply impressed.
I even wondered whether I was a lewd woman thinking about that all day long?
She looked at the TV screen again. This man was really handsome and elegant. Besides, he was a talented man who composed music, lyrics and sang. He really had the conditions to make any woman fall in love with him.
Yu Feihong sighed lightly and turned to look at her junior sister Lin Chiling was holding her cheeks, her face was like peach blossoms, and her face was staring at the TV with a silly expression. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
You should know that this schoolgirl has a model-like figure and outstanding appearance. Even the entire University of Toronto can be called a school beauty. Not only Chinese people, but many whites or blacks want to pursue it, they can be said to be the most popular among all stars.
But such a girl is also attracted by that fickle man, completely addicted to becoming a brainless fan
At this time, Lin Chiling only heard: Sister Hong, Brother A Guang and Zhou Huimin looked so close in the MV. Will they be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Yu Feihong couldn't help but laugh and said: It's just acting, what's wrong, are you jealous?
Lin Chiling pouted and said: That's not, Zhou Huimin is also a female star I like very much. Even if she is with Brother A Guang, I will only bless and envy.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Yu Feihong went to open the door
It turned out to be their landlord, Mrs. Lavigne. She is an old lady in her 60s with a kind expression. She is very friendly to two Asian girls who rent houses, Yu Feihong and Lin Chiling.
A girl about 11 years old was next to Mrs. Lavini.
Yu Feihong clearly knew this girl and smiled and said hello: Hello, Avril, welcome
The girl's name is Avril Lavini. She grew up in Napany, a small town in Ontario, Canada. She is not too far from the provincial capital Toronto
When it comes to holidays, she often goes to her grandmother’s house in Toronto to play. Recently, she happened to meet two tenants, Yu Feihong and Lin Chiling.
Mrs. Lavini laughed and said: This little girl always wants to find two sisters to play together, so I'm disturbing her.
Avril jumped and ran to Lin Chiling, stared at the TV and asked: Sister Ling, what are you watching?
Lin Chi-ling explained: This is the MV of a star in Hong Kong, Asia, and the singer is called Kong Rik-kwang
After listening to the song, Avril suddenly clapped his hands and said: What a great tune, is this traditional Chinese music?
Although she is very young, she has amazing musical talent. She has played guitar well at a young age. She has started to try to write songs by herself and perform in public on campus.
Lin Chiling saw that Avril identified with her idol and couldn't help feeling a close friend. She handed over a CD and said: Since you like it, I'll lend it to you. All the songs were written and sung by Brother A Guang himself. Hehe
Avril watched TV, then looked at the CD cover, and exclaimed: This Asian male singer is so talented, and she is so handsome!
Lin Chi-ling shaves the girl's nose and teases her: She's a little guy, she knows how to look at a handsome guy at such a young age.
Avril is not convinced, two beauties, one big and one small, start to fight
When Yu Feihong saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, then looked at the unforgettable handsome man on the TV and whispered: He harms others!
Kong Riguang sneezes, and he rubbed his nose, wondering: Damn my body is full, will I still catch a cold?
He was sitting in a somewhat simple office at this time, and opposite him was Yahoo founder Jerry Yang,
At this time, Yang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: The place is simple, Mr. Kong, you are laughing.
At this time, he just rented an office of about 200 square meters and didn't renovate it much. He casually arranged some desks, chairs and computers. The entire company only had ten or twenty people.
After taking the other person's $4 million, he brought it like this, and Zhiyuan Yang was a little embarrassed to face the funder.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: This is nothing. It’s good to have such an Internet company at the beginning. Like Bill Gates, the office was worse than this at the beginning.
Jerry Yang said embarrassedly: Where can I compare to Gates
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: In my eyes, Yahoo has the potential to grow to the level of Microsoft.
Jerry Yang sighed and said: To be honest, I think the prospects of the online search market are really vast, and it will not even be much worse than the operating system market. But so far, I have never thought of turning a huge user base into a profitable model. Like Microsoft can sell operating systems, but I can't sell search engine Ah Now Yahoo has nearly 2 million active users, but its advertising revenue is still very small and it cannot make up for the expenditure at all.
The core of online promotion is to store the market for free in the early stage, expand the user base, and then monetize it later. Tencent and 360 in later generations have done excellent work.
But this road is still in the exploration stage. Yang Zhiyuan looked at the speed of burning money and felt shocking. He really didn't know how to make the money he spent back
Kong Riguang said: But I believe Mr. Yang will have an idea and a way to deal with these things
Jerry Yang nodded and said: I now have an idea. Yahoo cannot just do a classification search business with the nature of online yellow pages, but it needs to be an entrance. Perhaps it can also be called an Internet portal. I hope that the first thing that all people who are online can do when they connect to the Internet is to log in to Yahoo and then connect to other websites through Yahoo.
This is the concept of a portal website. If you think of these things in the mid-1990s, Jerry Yang is worthy of being a generation of IT genius.
Yahoo may not be the first company to try to build a portal, but it is definitely the first one to succeed.
Kong Riguang suggested: This idea is very good. Yahoo already has a page basis for classified search, so it is very convenient to expand on this basis. Perhaps you can consider adding the email business to the website to increase user stickiness.
Zhiyuan Yang's eyes lit up immediately, but he immediately frowned: This is a good idea, but if we want to increase our email business, our server probably won't be able to support it.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: Then adding servers is the funds needed for the company's business expansion, I can provide them.
Jerry Yang said hesitantly: Mr. Kong, if you invest money again, I can't guarantee how long it will take to get the money back.
Kong Riguang said lightly: You should spend almost all the money I invested in in the early stage. Even if I don’t invest anymore, you will definitely have to find a way to raise funds in the second half of the year. If that’s the case, it’s better for me to invest again.
Zhiyuan Yang looked hesitant and did not answer
Kong Riguang said again: I know what Mr. Yang, you are worried about, fearing that your equity will be diluted and the company will be controlled by me? Then we can sign a detailed agreement. No matter how much my equity accounts for, we will never interfere with Yahoo's daily operations and Yahoo's affairs. I only have the right to suggest but no decision-making power. Then Mr. Yang should be relieved, right?
He paused and said: Also, I can also promise that if I need to sell Yahoo shares to cash out, then under the same conditions, you must give priority to selling the shares to you. In this way, outsiders cannot bypass you and control Yahoo
Such conditions are very generous. After all, Yahoo is still a small company now. Zhiyuan Yang nodded and said sincerely: Thank you very much for your support. I didn’t expect you would be so confident in Yahoo.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: I just have confidence in my own vision. Since I have made such a promise, I also hope that Mr. Yang will promise that when Yahoo needs financing, I have priority under the same conditions.
Jerry Yang nodded naturally to agree
Kong Riguang was in the financial circle in his previous life. He clearly remembered that just one year later, in 1996, Masayoshi Son of Japan's Bank of China Soft Group strongly entered Nasdaq, of which 60 million US dollars hit Yahoo, which needed financing, becoming one of Yahoo's major shareholders.
This investment, after Yahoo went public, has increased its value several times, becoming a successful example of venture capital investment.
Masayoshi Son also climbed to the top ten of Forbes' world rich list with the bubble of the Nasdaq
He has spent so much effort on Yahoo, how can he allow Japanese Binsula to pick peaches?
At this time, Kong Riguang said again: By the way, I have another thing to help me, one of the major shareholders of Netscape Company. I would suggest that Netscape browser's homepage add a search function and directly link it to Yahoo's website
Microsoft's IE has not yet been released, Netscape Browser is the absolute overlord in the market, monopolizing the personal computers of most users
If Netscape browser can add such a link, it means that all users who use the graphics operating system to access the Internet will regard Yahoo as the first choice for search engines, and the potential users contained in it will be simply explosive
Yang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but hold Kong Riguang's hand and said repeatedly: Thank you very much, Mr. Kong, thank you! Thank you!
Kong Riguang smiled but said nothing
In fact, this was the solution that Yang Zhiyuan thought of in the near future in the original history. Master Kong was just a pick-up.
After leaving Yahoo, Kong Riguang had dinner with several subordinates and had a brief meeting.
An executive: BOSS, there is a reply to the news you asked to check. Microsoft officially obtained the Msaic authorization from Telescope Entertainment not long ago, but it cannot check how much it cost.
Kong Riguang sighed and said: You don’t need to check how much you spend. Microsoft has started to do it, so Netscape will not have a good life in the future.
Msaic is one of the earliest web browsers in history, and Netscape's browsers are also derived from Msaic.
Since Microsoft has obtained the authorization of Msaic browser, it means that Microsoft, a behemoth, has begun to develop its own web browser. There is probably not much time before Internet Explrer enters the market.
The executive said in confusion: Now Netscape has such a high market share, even if Microsoft develops its own browser, it will not be easy to compete, right?
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: Within ten years, Microsoft has no rivals in the personal computer software market. It either surrenders or dies unless it waits for the future monopoly cases and smartphones...uh... nothing...
Young Master Kong, who almost said something missed, quickly turned around and said: Pay close attention to the release time of Microsoft browser. Starting from 1996, we will gradually reduce our holdings of Netjing Company’s stocks at hand. My requirement is to cash out all Netjing’s stocks before 1997. Is it clear?
Currently, the market value of Netscape stocks held by Sunshine Group has reached hundreds of millions of US dollars, and is growing rapidly. Such a large size must take a relatively long time to sell it quietly.
Kong Riguang said intimately: While selling Netscape's stocks, buying Yahoo's equity. By 1996, Yahoo was officially listed, and she would definitely make a big profit. Now she still holds Apple, Cisco and other stocks. I hope that Nasdaq can gather more funds. Then, in the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and 1998, I have more capital and fun with those financial giants.
He is about 40 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a meticulous suit, and a serious look. He is a typical business elite.
However, now his expression will show a hint of anxiety from time to time
He agreed with the decision of 21st Century Fox to invest in the shooting of the Titanic and promoted it at a high-level meeting, but he did not expect it to fall into Cameron's pit.
The company has invested $1.4 billion, which has made the entire company very tight in cash flow, but the day when the filming was completed is still far away. Now George has the heart to kill Cameron.
So Fox can only find other investors, but the only interested Paramount conditions are very harsh. He is only willing to invest $60 million, but he needs the entire North American box office share of the movie, or 50% of the global box office share of the box office.
This makes Fox really hard to accept
I paid 1.4 billion, and you only paid 0.6 billion, and then the fuck told me that the profit was divided in half!?
Now that he heard Cameron say that a Hong Kong rich man was interested in this cheating video, George flew over to Cannes as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Then, George saw a young man with black hair and blue eyes in a suite in an upscale hotel. He was surprised to see a young man with black hair and blue eyes.
Kong Rik-kwang greets George to sit down on the sofa, Monica Bellucci, wearing a black OL outfit, serves coffee for the two of them at the right time
After being fully irrigated by the man, this sexy woman was even more amazing in appearance. Her curvy and hot body swayed when walking, which made George amazed.
Fortunately, he is an executive of a large company after all. He is used to the storm and quickly controls his emotions.
Kong Riguang looked at the other party's card and smiled: Mr. George, your company is so efficient, and he sent someone so quickly.
George also smiled: Mr. Kong laughed, please forgive me for taking the initiative to disturb him this time.
He is a guy who is good at business negotiations, he is definitely a person who can talk nonsense for a day without repetition. He can unknowingly praise his partner to be comfortable.
But how could Kong Riguang waste so much time on this boring nonsense?
Wouldn't it be better to have more women when you have time?
After a few polite words, he got to the point: My opinion has been put forward to your company through Director Cameron. I wonder what you think?
George took a sip of coffee and said: Maybe Director Cameron gave Mr. Kong some wrong information. In fact, Fox did not have any financial problems. He just had to wait for the capital to turn back and we could continue to invest. Cameron was too impatient and hoped that all the funds would be in place at once. I believe Mr. Kong also knew that we had invested 1.4 billion, and we were determined and able to independently undertake the entire investment in this film.
In terms of business negotiations, we must hope to ask the other party for the price as much as possible. Then, naturally, we cannot get the other party’s trump card at the beginning. It is ideal to be more arrogant and make the other party unable to figure out the routine.
George asked Cameron and knew that the great director had not disclosed that Fox was whispering to invite Paramount to invest together, so Kong Riguang naturally could not understand the financial dilemma of the Titanic.
Although Fox has in principle agreed to Kong Riguang's requirement to share 40% of the global box office profit with an investment of US$80 million, he naturally hopes to gain more benefits and let Fox colleagues see his abilities
He continued: Although Mr. Kong proposed to invest $8,000 as the production cost of the movie, it can indeed solve the problem of funding for continuing filming now, but in fact, after the film is finished, our company must be responsible for the distribution channel, global publicity, and contact theaters and other follow-up work. Such a large production is estimated to have to invest $20 to 30 million in the future as publicity and other expenses. The actual total cost of the movie will reach $24 to 2.5 billion, while Mr. Kong's 80 million investment actually only accounts for about 30% of the total cost, but requires a 40% profit share, which is too high.
Kong Riguang asked without comment: So what is Fox’s opinion?
George lifted his gold-rimmed glasses and said: We recommend that we share the profit according to the actual investment in the cost ratio, which is fair to both parties.
Kong Riguang smiled and looked at George with a fool's eyes. He said nothing, making George feel furious.
After a while, Master Kong stretched and said: So that's it. It seems that it is indeed a bit unfair to you. I have never liked to do things that force others. Forget it. I don't attach much importance to the movie Titanic, but I just want to play with it. You Fox, please find another investor.
George was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would directly lift the table like this, and refused without any room for anything.
Normally speaking, business negotiations should not be bargaining between both parties, and in the end, everyone gives up some interests to compromise with each other?
Then I heard Kong Riguang's voice: Monica, please send Mr. George out and let Fox talk to Paramount slowly
George suddenly had a cold sweat. Why did this guy know about Paramount?
He was also a bachelor and immediately said: Actually, Mr. Kong's conditions are already very sincere. I personally agree with 100% but there are a small group of unknown people in my company who are opposed, so I just tested Mr. Kong's attitude. I am really sorry.
At this time, Monica had already walked over when she heard the greeting. Kong Riguang smiled and patted his thigh to let the charming beauty sit down. He put one hand on the woman's waist and asked harshly: Is that true? Mr. George doesn't think my proposal is unfair?
George looked at the sexy and charming Monica Beluch's bird-like appearance, and was really envious and jealous, but he still had to pretend to be a grandson and said: Fair, Mr. Kong's opinion has taken into account the interests of both parties, and there is no problem at all.
Since Paramount's incident was leaked, it means that his trump card has been known to the other party, and it is meaningless to resist again.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: OK, I have another suggestion
George's face changed, he took a breath and said in a deep voice: Mr. Kong, please say
Kong Riguang thought for a while and said: You mentioned that the post-production of the film will require a large amount of money. Then I will invest another 20 million, which means a total investment of 100 million US dollars. It is expected that it will be almost enough, but I ask for a share of 50% of the global box office profit.
George was stunned for a moment and frowned: Mr. Kong, if this is the case, I need to report to the president and let him make the decision.
Kong Riguang said nothing: It's easy, but my time is precious, you must answer me within today, otherwise my interests may change at any time
George quickly calculated and felt that such conditions were acceptable, at least much better than those on Paramount, so he replied: In principle, Mr. Kong's conditions should be fine. I'll ask for instructions and I will reply to you in a while.
So George walked aside, took out his cell phone and called to report.
Kong Riguang was so happy that he hugged Monica and made out. The slightly extreme action made the Italian sexy goddess coquettishly angry. After all, there was still George, an outsider in the room.
Soon, George finished his phone call, walked over again, and said sincerely: Mr. Kong, our company has agreed to your conditions. Do you think we will sign the specific contract specifications?
Kong Riguang said without surprise: Your company has made a wise choice. Well, my group has a branch in the United States. I asked them to find a lawyer to contact you first to finalize the details. In two days, I will fly to the United States to sign a formal contract with you.
He thought about it and said: By the way, I have a small request
George's face turned a little pale, but he still smiled reluctantly: Mr. Kong, please say
Kong Rik-kwang: I ask the theme song of Titanic to be the person who asks someone to compose and lyrics and sing. I am responsible for the production and promotional costs, but the copyright and global sales revenue of the theme song belong to me personally, and is independent of the movie itself.
George's face showed a strange look. He didn't know when the movie could be finished. He was thinking about the theme song so soon?
In his opinion, this was just a trivial matter. I'm afraid it was the personal interest of the young rich man, so he nodded and agreed
Anyway, it's just a theme song, it's not a big deal
Kong Riguang immediately smiled and patted Monica's plump buttocks, let her stand up, and then he also took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with George, which was considered to have completed the negotiation.
Titanic's theme song "My Heart Eternal" is a super divine song that has become popular all over the world. Its global sales exceeded 10 million, topped the European singles chart for nearly half a year, sweeping the music scenes everywhere. The total revenue of this song alone has reached an incredible amount of nearly 200 million US dollars.
While Titanic swept the world box office, "My Heart Eternal" can also say to all the singles of the same period: I'm not targeting anyone, I mean, everyone here is rubbish
After George left, Kong Riguang hugged Monica again, gently stroked his plump breasts through the clothes, and said softly: Monica, have you considered it clearly? What about my proposal?
Monica squinted her eyes, enjoying the caress of the man, and sighed: You gave me a generous treatment, but I am just an actor, I am afraid that I can't do other things.
Kong Riguang said: Actually, you don’t need to do anything. You just want to supervise the shooting progress on the Titanic set as my investment representative, and report to me regularly. You are temporarily living in the United States and official vehicles. I will let the US branch of Sunshine Group solve it for you. If you want to act in Hollywood, I will not stop you. You just need to know me in advance.
Monica said hesitantly: You will give me an annual salary of $1 million just for this? I am really sorry
As she said that, her face turned a little red and said: BOSS, do you want to support me as a long-term mistress? But you shouldn't stay in the United States... I'm taking your money for nothing, I'm a little...
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: Monica, you are a priceless treasure, but the world has not yet understood your value.
He said this sentence from his heart. If Monica Bellucci had become a recognized sexy goddess in the Western world after 2000, one million dollars would be enough to have a meal with her.
Now Monica, who can only perform in Italy in small productions and has little income, has no reason to refuse. Returning to Hollywood has always been her dream. This man’s suggestion is really a public-private and private slut for her.
Seeing Monica nodding, Kong Rik-guang said: Two days later, I will go to the United States with you, sign the agreement quickly, and then you will stay there. I have to rush back to Hong Kong.
He called to learn that Zhou Huimin's optic nerve decompression surgery will be 9 days away. It is still time to fly to the United States to sign a contract and then rush back.
At this time, Kong Riguang's phone rang, it turned out to be Cameron
Hello Mr. Kong, I heard from George that the agreement has been completed?
That's right, I will fly to the Fox headquarters in the United States to sign a contract, and then the funds will be available in the short term.
That's great, the movie can continue to start filming. Mr. Kong, thank you haha, then I will return to the United States to prepare immediately tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Kong, why don't we have dinner to celebrate together tonight?
Since it was invited by a great director, I would naturally be disrespectful. Please set the location
After making an appointment, Kong Riguang hung up the phone
At this time, Monica beside her said hesitantly: BOSS, are you optimistic about the Titanic? According to the current investment amount, the box office must reach the level of Jurassic Park to get the money back.
Kong Riguang laughed and hugged the Italian goddess, saying: Monica, I can predict the future, do you believe it?
Monica curled her lips, obviously not believing
Monica, let's do some exercise first, and then go have a meal with the big director.
Oh, won’t you be tired? I think BOSS you shouldn’t invest in shooting Titanic, but film Superman, just be the starring actor.
Fuck? I like it, haha!
At dinner time, Kong Riguang came to the agreed restaurant with Monica, who was emitting a lazy atmosphere.
Cameron had arrived and waited first. The beautiful Sophie Marso was also here.
Kong Riguang was strange in his heart, but immediately showed a surprise smile and said: Sophie, I've seen you again
Sophie Marceau agreed with a smile, then looked at Monica Beluchi with curious eyes
She didn't know Monica, but even as a woman, she felt that the beauty in front of her was so tempting. Every inch of her skin was radiant and stirred up the men's hormones.
Monica knows Sophie Marceau. Sophie Marceau played the heroine in the movie at the age of 14 and became famous quickly. There are not many people in Europe who don’t know her.
Kong Riguang was also secretly comparing the two goddesses. In terms of appearance, Sophie Marceau's oriental appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of Asians, and his temperament is also purer.
Monica is very beautiful and can bring a strong visual impact to men, and her temperament tends to be sexy and charming.
Of course, if we only talk about the attractiveness of men in the peak years, Monica should be better. She is the kind that walks in front of you and can stop breathing for a minute. She is the kind that sits in the lobby of the hotel to make all men look sideways, and all women are full of crisis.
Monica Bellucci's attraction has nothing to do with it, just because of this extremely tempting body, this beautiful face that is incomparable.
Overall, among the actresses who came from Europe in recent decades, they should be in the second place in terms of charm, which is similar to Catherine Zeta Jones
There has always been only one person in the first stage, French actress Isabella Ajani
Even though she is nearly 40 years old now, in the recently staged movie "Queen Margo", this legendary beauty is still so beautiful that it makes people hold their breath
Four people sat down in the private room, and Cameron explained: Mr. Kong, I have already talked to Sophie and are about to invite her to be the heroine of the Titanic
Kong Riguang was stunned. The heroine of the Titanic was obviously Kate Winslet Ah, so why did she become Sophie Marceau?
Has history changed because of my intervention?
Although Fei Wen has always been criticized by many movie fans, because of preconceived ideas, in everyone's memory, the heroine of the Titanic is her. If someone changes, wouldn't it be strange?
In fact, this is really because of Kong Riguang. Cameron has more US$20 million in shooting funds than in the original history, which can be said to be much looser.
Although it is not much to say $20 million, Hollywood's top actresses such as Streisand Barbara, Meg Ryan, etc. are paid more than $10 million. If you find this level of 20 million, you will have to spend all of them all in one go.
However, there are many choices for famous actresses who can get paid for millions of dollars, and Sophie Marceau is one of them.
Sophie Marceau is not a first-tier superstar, but at least his appearance and popularity are stronger than Winslet.
Cameron, who is more affordable, is a little disliked by Winslet, who is now super cheap but not famous.
Moreover, there is an advantage to choosing Sophie Marceau, at least the box office in France is definitely fine. A lot of French people will win the French Rose, which will also help the overall box office in Europe.
After all, it is the largest investment in history of more than 200 million US dollars, and Cameron is also walking on thin ice. If the box office fails, he will be afraid that he will not be ashamed to continue making movies.
Seeing Kong Riguang's puzzled look, Sophie Marceau felt a little nervous. Doesn't he want to be the heroine?
After all, Kong Riguang is now the main investor in the movie, and even Cameron has to consider his attitude.
She looked at Monica Beluch, who was close to Kong Riguang, and said to herself: Does he want to praise this woman as the protagonist, so he spent so much money to invest in movies? As she thought about it, her eyes were filled with a hint of doubt.
In order to make their favorite actress famous, the rich invested in making movies. This is not a unique phenomenon in China, it is the same in the whole world.
For Sophie Marceau, playing the leading actress in Titanic is very good for her to consolidate her position in Hollywood
She just collaborated with Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson as the heroine to shoot the blockbuster "Brave Heart" and is expected to be released at the end of May.
And if she continues to play the leading actress in Hollywood blockbusters, she will have a good chance to join the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier actresses
For this reason, even if her lover Zulasky, who had lived with her for more than ten years, strongly opposed it, she refused.
Anyway, we are all starting to get tired of each other, so we might as well take the opportunity to break up
In fact, Sophie Marceau was also overthinking. Cameron was a famous tyrant on the set. Even if you pointed a gun at his head, it would not necessarily change any decision he made about his movie.
Kong Riguang came back to his senses and said to Sophie Maso: That's great, I look forward to your performance in the movie Sophie
Seeing Kong Riguang agree happily, Sophie Marceau let go of his worries a little and smiled and started talking to Kong Riguang.
The meal was finished quickly, and the guests and guests were having fun
After dinner, Kong Riguang and Monica returned to the hotel together
Entering the room, Monica asked with a smile: BOSS, are you interested in Sophie Marceau?
Kong Riguang was stunned and said strangely: How do you know, Monica?
Monica smiled and said: The eyes you looked at her secretly, as if you wanted to swallow her into your stomach.
Kong Riguang touched his head a little awkwardly. Could it be that his secret sneak glance was so conspicuous?
Monica said a little jealously: Sophie Marcelo is indeed a big beauty, and she will be the heroine in the super big production of Titanic. Even a man likes her
Kong Riguang walked over, hugged the woman gently, and said softly: Let's do this, in one or two years, how about I privately invested in preparing a movie for you?
Unexpectedly, Monica shook her head and said: BOSS, I don’t like this kind of movie. It’s pure. I can’t let the audience recognize that my performance is my own acting problem. Even if you can use money to force me to make me famous, this is not what I want.
Kong Riguang couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he immediately figured it out. If he could put down his figure with Monica Bellucci's condition, he wouldn't have to wait until he was 30 years old to become famous.
She has her own persistence in her film career. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that she was the beauty Malianna, who turned upside down in "The Legend of Sicily" later.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: I understand, but if you have anything you want me to help in the future, just ask.
Monica Zhanyan smiled and said: Thank you, BOSS
The next day, Kong Riguang and Monica took a flight to Los Angeles, USA.
On the one hand, we need to complete the signing of Fox; on the other hand, we need to see the overall situation of Nasdaq Technology stocks that we have been planning since last year.
The trip to France is too tight, so there is no time to deal with the beauty Sophie Marceau, but she will soon be the heroine of the Titanic. As an investor, she is afraid that she will not have a chance?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but remember that in the original history, Sophie Marcelo and Monica Beluci were close friends. Hehe, if they were flying together, it would be really exciting.
Just imagination makes people hard
It's a pity that there are many inconveniences on the plane, so I can't just take off my pants from the seat and mess with women Ah
Arriving at Los Angeles International Airport, the top three in the United States, Fox has sent someone to pick it up.
Regarding this contract, 20th Century Fox is afraid that it will pay more attention to Kong Riguang's
Fox is an industry owned by Australian media king Murdoch. Famous movies such as Star Wars, Alien, Home Alone, Life and Death Speed, etc. are produced by this company.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Fox may not be able to take on all the investment in the Titanic independently, but this is too risky. If you lose money, no incumbent leader can bear such a big responsibility.
In addition, finding investors to share risks is the most ideal way
After a night off, the next morning, under the guidance of George, Fox's senior manager, Kong Riguang and Monica arrived at the headquarters of Fox Company.
As one of the eight major Hollywood giants, Fox has its own cinema
If it were the era of the past life, Kong Riguang would have been browsing everywhere if he had the opportunity to come here.
But now he is a rich man, and he can't just pick up his composure and followers who don't look squinting to the office building area like he does when he leaves the city in the countryside.
As soon as he got off the car, Kong Riguang saw a tall and dressed beauty walking out of the office building, looking very familiar.
George, who was ahead, took the initiative to say hello: Miss Taylor, how are your new drama?
Taylor?
Kong Riguang immediately remembered that this was the elf princess in "The Lord of the Rings" later?
Remember, Liv Taylor!
But now Liv Taylor looks just seventeen or eighteen years old, full of youthful charm, far less mature and beautiful than Kong Riguang's impression
She should be a little taller than Monica Bellucci, her height is estimated to be close to 1.8 meters. Even if she is not wearing high heels, she looks about the same height as Kong Riguang.
In addition, she is wearing narrow jeans, and her two slender legs have excellent lines, which is very attractive.
But Liv Taylor answered in a crisp voice: It hasn't been agreed yet, director O'Connor is just preparing for the preliminary work, and it's not decided when the filming will start.
At this moment, Liv Taylor saw Kong Riguang behind George, and was stunned for a moment, his pretty face slightly flushed.
She was born in 1977 and is only eighteen years old now. It was the time when a girl Huaichun liked to see young handsome guys the most. This instinct is not immune to even female celebrities.
Kong Riguang immediately took a step forward, made an invitation to shake hands, and introduced himself: Hello Miss Taylor, my name is Kong Riguang, I am a businessman from Hong Kong
Liv Taylor quickly politely stretched out his fair jade hand to hold the man, and then said as if he had remembered something: Ah! Are you the rich Asian businessman who invested in the Titanic?
This news has spread?
Kong Riguang frowned slightly, but it didn't matter much, so he smiled and said: That's right, Miss Taylor's information is so well-informed.
Liv Taylor said in a panic: I...I didn't mean it, but I happened to hear this just now and looked at George, whose face turned a little darker.
Kong Riguang hurriedly said: It's okay, anyway, it will be announced after signing the contract today, so there is no need to hide it from others.
Liv Taylor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then realized that his jade hand had been held by this handsome man for a long time. Then he pulled out his face with a blush and said goodbye and left quickly.
George came over and said: Mr. Kong knows Taylor? She is a newcomer who has just made a movie, but the company is optimistic about her potential and is preparing to open a new movie called "The Secret of Love" for her.
Of course, Kong Riguang had no impression of this drama, so he nodded and said: Your company has always had a good vision, otherwise he wouldn't bet on Cameron.
George really couldn't figure out whether Kong Rik-guang's words were praised or derogatory, and he was so weird that he couldn't make any comments.
Walking into the office, the staff of Sunshine Group's US branch and the lawyers invited were already waiting.
Kong Riguang carefully looked at the contract and felt that there was no problem, so he waved his pen to sign and seal it and confirmed the investment of 100 million US dollars.
After the work was done, Kong Riguang refused the Fox banquet on the grounds of being in a hurry, but instead took the business car from the American branch of Sunshine Group and rushed to Silicon Valley.
The itinerary from Los Angeles to San Francisco Silicon Valley is roughly 600 kilometers. Normally, it can be reached in about 7 hours.
Several senior executives from the US branch were also in the car at this time
Sunshine Group's US branch is located in Manhattan, New York. It would take five or six hours to fly from Los Angeles. Kong Riguang naturally didn't want to bump into this way, so he summoned several executives to bring the company's relevant reports and took them to Los Angeles to review them.
Now on the trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, he is taking a car while carefully reading the company's information, asking his subordinates from time to time, but he really has the style of a boss.
Monica, sitting in the back row, said intimately: This is his real side? It sounds like the entire company's investment layout is executed according to his instructions, which is amazing!
At this time, a senior official flattered: BOSS is really unique in vision. The Netscape Company you are optimistic about is now in a very good situation. It is already the boss of the browser market. Last year, the funds invested in them in venture capital increased by at least several times.
Another executive also said: Other technology stocks like Cisco and Apple are in good shape, and the company's investment performance is ideal. The boss, should we go to Netscape first when we go to Silicon Valley?
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: No, let’s go to Yahu first
The executive said unexpectedly: Yahoo? That small company that has just been established? What kind of classification search business do they do?
Kong Riguang met with Yahoo founder Jerry Yang at Stanford University in the United States half a year ago, and provided $4 million in starting funds in private name, occupying 40% of Yahoo's equity.
Since this private investment has not been passed through the company, the subordinates of Sunshine Group are not aware of it.
Yahoo is not very satisfied now. Although it already has a certain business volume, its development growth rate does not fully meet Yang Zhiyuan's ideals
Because competitors emerge, Lycs and Excite are also doing search engine services, and their development speed is not slower than Yahoo at all
The biggest problem is that although Yahoo already has a certain user base, it cannot solve the problem of profit model
It is now 1995, in the early stages of the development of the Internet, and no one could have thought of how rich profits a monopoly search engine could make through the bidding rankings of searches in various fields (such as Google and Baidu in later generations)
At the same time, a website that mainly retrieves the entire page cannot be filled with advertisements. Kong Riguang's early investment of $4 million has already spent most of it, but Yahoo is still in a state of not being able to make ends meet.
Anyway, according to the current rate of burning money, Yahoo probably has to find a way to raise funds in the second half of the year, which simply gave Zhiyuan Yang a headache and couldn't sleep well.
Kong Riguang continued to read the information. When he arrived at the last folder, he was stunned and said: What is this?
The subordinates around me answered: BOSS Didn’t you ask us to find information about a Chinese student studying at the University of Toronto some time ago? I invited a private detective to investigate. The recent investigation results have come out.
Kong Riguang patted his head. He had too many things recently and really forgot that there was still something else.
Yuan Li told him that after Yu Feihong left Beijing Film Academy, he might have gone to the University of Toronto to study. He called the American branch to verify the authenticity, but he never cared about it since then.
At this moment, I saw the secretly taken photos in the folder. A beautiful and intellectual oriental beauty appeared on the paper. The beautiful memories of the beautiful girl's jade body that night suddenly surged into her heart.
Book a flight from San Francisco to Toronto for me, well, the time is set tomorrow afternoon
From Silicon Valley in San Francisco to Toronto, Canada, it takes about 5 and a half hours to fly. Since you are all here in the United States, then take a walk to Canada.
Yu Feihong doesn’t know what’s going on now?
Yu Feihong, who was muttered by Kong Riguang, was staying in the rented apartment and reading quietly. Now she has gradually adapted to living alone in a foreign country.
She was still confused when she was alone, but fortunately she met a good Chinese sister
Although he is an international student from Taiwan, he has the same voice and voice as his mother tongue, and has given Yu Feihong a lot of help
It is the apartment she rents now, and she also rents it with that Taiwanese girl.
But recently, her newly recognized girl has caused her a lot of trouble
At this time, the sound of opening the door came, and a tall and beautiful girl with black hair shawls walked in.
Sister Hong, you are reading again
Zhiling, are you back so soon?
This beauty from Taiwan is named Lin Chi-ling. She is 21 years old and studies in the Department of Western Art History at the University of Toronto.
Yu Feihong is now 24 years old, a graduate student
Lin Chiling smiled like a flower, shook the CD box in her hand, and said excitedly: Finally I bought it, the latest MV of Kong Riguang Mandarin songs
Yu Feihong's expression froze. Her sister is actually a fan of Kong Riguang. She has a few Mandarin songs such as "Dongfeng Break" and "Chrysanthemum Platform" every day, which makes her have to hear that person's voice every day.
The sky shows that the poor Yu Feihong went away from Canada just to avoid that man, drive him out of his mind, and restore his pure and ordinary life
Now because of Lin Chiling, I always come into contact with information related to Kong Riguang.
Lin Chiling didn't pay attention to Yu Feihong so much. She quickly unpacked the packaging and then put the CD into the playback machine. Soon, the handsome young master Kong appeared on the TV.
Yu Feihong saw Kong Riguang appear and his whole body trembled. The crazy and erotic memories immediately emerged in her mind.
The man was pressed under him and took away his innocence, but the first time he was fascinated by the climax, and the embarrassment was repeated. The shameful scene really made this elegant beauty difficult to face
Moreover, even if you deliberately forget it, it cannot wash away the mark of that man on her
Occasionally, I dream of lying on the bad guy's arms, feeling sweet, and then kissing and doing something shameful.
When I woke up, even my underwear was soaked
Yu Feihong didn't know that Kong Riguang had plug-in skills and fell in love over time, but he just thought that it was because he was his first man, so he was deeply impressed.
I even wondered whether I was a lewd woman thinking about that all day long?
She looked at the TV screen again. This man was really handsome and elegant. Besides, he was a talented man who composed music, lyrics and sang. He really had the conditions to make any woman fall in love with him.
Yu Feihong sighed lightly and turned to look at her junior sister Lin Chiling was holding her cheeks, her face was like peach blossoms, and her face was staring at the TV with a silly expression. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
You should know that this schoolgirl has a model-like figure and outstanding appearance. Even the entire University of Toronto can be called a school beauty. Not only Chinese people, but many whites or blacks want to pursue it, they can be said to be the most popular among all stars.
But such a girl is also attracted by that fickle man, completely addicted to becoming a brainless fan
At this time, Lin Chiling only heard: Sister Hong, Brother A Guang and Zhou Huimin looked so close in the MV. Will they be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Yu Feihong couldn't help but laugh and said: It's just acting, what's wrong, are you jealous?
Lin Chiling pouted and said: That's not, Zhou Huimin is also a female star I like very much. Even if she is with Brother A Guang, I will only bless and envy.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Yu Feihong went to open the door
It turned out to be their landlord, Mrs. Lavigne. She is an old lady in her 60s with a kind expression. She is very friendly to two Asian girls who rent houses, Yu Feihong and Lin Chiling.
A girl about 11 years old was next to Mrs. Lavini.
Yu Feihong clearly knew this girl and smiled and said hello: Hello, Avril, welcome
The girl's name is Avril Lavini. She grew up in Napany, a small town in Ontario, Canada. She is not too far from the provincial capital Toronto
When it comes to holidays, she often goes to her grandmother’s house in Toronto to play. Recently, she happened to meet two tenants, Yu Feihong and Lin Chiling.
Mrs. Lavini laughed and said: This little girl always wants to find two sisters to play together, so I'm disturbing her.
Avril jumped and ran to Lin Chiling, stared at the TV and asked: Sister Ling, what are you watching?
Lin Chi-ling explained: This is the MV of a star in Hong Kong, Asia, and the singer is called Kong Rik-kwang
After listening to the song, Avril suddenly clapped his hands and said: What a great tune, is this traditional Chinese music?
Although she is very young, she has amazing musical talent. She has played guitar well at a young age. She has started to try to write songs by herself and perform in public on campus.
Lin Chiling saw that Avril identified with her idol and couldn't help feeling a close friend. She handed over a CD and said: Since you like it, I'll lend it to you. All the songs were written and sung by Brother A Guang himself. Hehe
Avril watched TV, then looked at the CD cover, and exclaimed: This Asian male singer is so talented, and she is so handsome!
Lin Chi-ling shaves the girl's nose and teases her: She's a little guy, she knows how to look at a handsome guy at such a young age.
Avril is not convinced, two beauties, one big and one small, start to fight
When Yu Feihong saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, then looked at the unforgettable handsome man on the TV and whispered: He harms others!
Kong Riguang sneezes, and he rubbed his nose, wondering: Damn my body is full, will I still catch a cold?
He was sitting in a somewhat simple office at this time, and opposite him was Yahoo founder Jerry Yang,
At this time, Yang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: The place is simple, Mr. Kong, you are laughing.
At this time, he just rented an office of about 200 square meters and didn't renovate it much. He casually arranged some desks, chairs and computers. The entire company only had ten or twenty people.
After taking the other person's $4 million, he brought it like this, and Zhiyuan Yang was a little embarrassed to face the funder.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: This is nothing. It’s good to have such an Internet company at the beginning. Like Bill Gates, the office was worse than this at the beginning.
Jerry Yang said embarrassedly: Where can I compare to Gates
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: In my eyes, Yahoo has the potential to grow to the level of Microsoft.
Jerry Yang sighed and said: To be honest, I think the prospects of the online search market are really vast, and it will not even be much worse than the operating system market. But so far, I have never thought of turning a huge user base into a profitable model. Like Microsoft can sell operating systems, but I can't sell search engine Ah Now Yahoo has nearly 2 million active users, but its advertising revenue is still very small and it cannot make up for the expenditure at all.
The core of online promotion is to store the market for free in the early stage, expand the user base, and then monetize it later. Tencent and 360 in later generations have done excellent work.
But this road is still in the exploration stage. Yang Zhiyuan looked at the speed of burning money and felt shocking. He really didn't know how to make the money he spent back
Kong Riguang said: But I believe Mr. Yang will have an idea and a way to deal with these things
Jerry Yang nodded and said: I now have an idea. Yahoo cannot just do a classification search business with the nature of online yellow pages, but it needs to be an entrance. Perhaps it can also be called an Internet portal. I hope that the first thing that all people who are online can do when they connect to the Internet is to log in to Yahoo and then connect to other websites through Yahoo.
This is the concept of a portal website. If you think of these things in the mid-1990s, Jerry Yang is worthy of being a generation of IT genius.
Yahoo may not be the first company to try to build a portal, but it is definitely the first one to succeed.
Kong Riguang suggested: This idea is very good. Yahoo already has a page basis for classified search, so it is very convenient to expand on this basis. Perhaps you can consider adding the email business to the website to increase user stickiness.
Zhiyuan Yang's eyes lit up immediately, but he immediately frowned: This is a good idea, but if we want to increase our email business, our server probably won't be able to support it.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: Then adding servers is the funds needed for the company's business expansion, I can provide them.
Jerry Yang said hesitantly: Mr. Kong, if you invest money again, I can't guarantee how long it will take to get the money back.
Kong Riguang said lightly: You should spend almost all the money I invested in in the early stage. Even if I don’t invest anymore, you will definitely have to find a way to raise funds in the second half of the year. If that’s the case, it’s better for me to invest again.
Zhiyuan Yang looked hesitant and did not answer
Kong Riguang said again: I know what Mr. Yang, you are worried about, fearing that your equity will be diluted and the company will be controlled by me? Then we can sign a detailed agreement. No matter how much my equity accounts for, we will never interfere with Yahoo's daily operations and Yahoo's affairs. I only have the right to suggest but no decision-making power. Then Mr. Yang should be relieved, right?
He paused and said: Also, I can also promise that if I need to sell Yahoo shares to cash out, then under the same conditions, you must give priority to selling the shares to you. In this way, outsiders cannot bypass you and control Yahoo
Such conditions are very generous. After all, Yahoo is still a small company now. Zhiyuan Yang nodded and said sincerely: Thank you very much for your support. I didn’t expect you would be so confident in Yahoo.
Kong Riguang smiled and said: I just have confidence in my own vision. Since I have made such a promise, I also hope that Mr. Yang will promise that when Yahoo needs financing, I have priority under the same conditions.
Jerry Yang nodded naturally to agree
Kong Riguang was in the financial circle in his previous life. He clearly remembered that just one year later, in 1996, Masayoshi Son of Japan's Bank of China Soft Group strongly entered Nasdaq, of which 60 million US dollars hit Yahoo, which needed financing, becoming one of Yahoo's major shareholders.
This investment, after Yahoo went public, has increased its value several times, becoming a successful example of venture capital investment.
Masayoshi Son also climbed to the top ten of Forbes' world rich list with the bubble of the Nasdaq
He has spent so much effort on Yahoo, how can he allow Japanese Binsula to pick peaches?
At this time, Kong Riguang said again: By the way, I have another thing to help me, one of the major shareholders of Netscape Company. I would suggest that Netscape browser's homepage add a search function and directly link it to Yahoo's website
Microsoft's IE has not yet been released, Netscape Browser is the absolute overlord in the market, monopolizing the personal computers of most users
If Netscape browser can add such a link, it means that all users who use the graphics operating system to access the Internet will regard Yahoo as the first choice for search engines, and the potential users contained in it will be simply explosive
Yang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but hold Kong Riguang's hand and said repeatedly: Thank you very much, Mr. Kong, thank you! Thank you!
Kong Riguang smiled but said nothing
In fact, this was the solution that Yang Zhiyuan thought of in the near future in the original history. Master Kong was just a pick-up.
After leaving Yahoo, Kong Riguang had dinner with several subordinates and had a brief meeting.
An executive: BOSS, there is a reply to the news you asked to check. Microsoft officially obtained the Msaic authorization from Telescope Entertainment not long ago, but it cannot check how much it cost.
Kong Riguang sighed and said: You don’t need to check how much you spend. Microsoft has started to do it, so Netscape will not have a good life in the future.
Msaic is one of the earliest web browsers in history, and Netscape's browsers are also derived from Msaic.
Since Microsoft has obtained the authorization of Msaic browser, it means that Microsoft, a behemoth, has begun to develop its own web browser. There is probably not much time before Internet Explrer enters the market.
The executive said in confusion: Now Netscape has such a high market share, even if Microsoft develops its own browser, it will not be easy to compete, right?
Kong Riguang shook his head and said: Within ten years, Microsoft has no rivals in the personal computer software market. It either surrenders or dies unless it waits for the future monopoly cases and smartphones...uh... nothing...
Young Master Kong, who almost said something missed, quickly turned around and said: Pay close attention to the release time of Microsoft browser. Starting from 1996, we will gradually reduce our holdings of Netjing Company’s stocks at hand. My requirement is to cash out all Netjing’s stocks before 1997. Is it clear?
Currently, the market value of Netscape stocks held by Sunshine Group has reached hundreds of millions of US dollars, and is growing rapidly. Such a large size must take a relatively long time to sell it quietly.
Kong Riguang said intimately: While selling Netscape's stocks, buying Yahoo's equity. By 1996, Yahoo was officially listed, and she would definitely make a big profit. Now she still holds Apple, Cisco and other stocks. I hope that Nasdaq can gather more funds. Then, in the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and 1998, I have more capital and fun with those financial giants.
