Los Angeles, Xiao Yunhai Manor Villa
Xiao Yunhai held a party and invited Kree and several famous artists from MGM Grand to attend.
Everyone was eating barbecue and drinking beer on the lawn. The atmosphere was very good.
Chris took a big bite of the fresh and tender mutton and said with a smile, "Xiao, your barbecue skills are really not bad. It's almost as good as the old restaurant I ate at in Beijing."
Recently, Chris was flushed with success and his horse galloped. With the 120 billion US dollars borrowed from Hua Xia Commercial Bank, not only had he repaid the loan, but he had also diluted the shares of other shareholders. The father and son's shares had reached 77%, and the market value had risen from 120 billion US dollars to 230 billion US dollars, far more than before.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Chris picked up a bottle of beer and clinked it with Xiao Yunhai's. He said, "Xiao, today you invited us to drink and eat barbecue. Do you have something you need our help with? We are Hollywood's closest partners. Don't be shy. Just say it. "
Action superstar Lauryn nodded and said, "Mr. Smith is right. Mr. Xiao, as long as we can help, we will definitely do it. "
Ever since Xiao Yunhai performed Hua Xia Kung Fu at the Oscar Awards, Lauryn had been full of praise for Xiao Yunhai.
Later, when he saw that Xiao Yunhai did not care about Hanks's threat at the MGM Grand's most critical moment, he admired Xiao Yunhai's character even more.
Now that he saw that Xiao Yunhai seemed to be in trouble and wanted to ask for his help, Lauryn naturally did not want to miss such a good favor.
The other stars also nodded.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This afternoon, Kree asked me about this matter. At that time, I was too embarrassed to say it. Now that we are here, I will shamelessly ask for everyone's help. "
Kree asked, "What is it?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "A few days ago, Marvel Kids Land had a serious security issue. Everyone should know about this. Now that the impact has almost been eliminated, but there are still very few guests going to the amusement park. So I would like to invite everyone to bring their families to Marvel Kids Land for a while. You are all big stars with countless fans. I believe that as long as you go, you will be able to dispel people's concerns. Don't worry, there won't be any problems in terms of safety. Of course, if you don't have the time, then forget it. "
Lauryn laughed heartily and said, "I thought it was something big. No problem. I have nothing to do this week. I can take my wife and two children to New York at any time. Just treat it as a vacation. Also, I can help you invite a few more couples of celebrities to go with you. "
Other than Best Actor Sareth, who had to go to the set to film and had no time, everyone else agreed.
Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed. He picked up the beer bottle and said, "That's great. Thank you for your help."
Kree giggled. "You're welcome. We're all on the same side. It's only right for us to help each other."
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, it doesn't seem like you have any business here. With your fame, it seems useless even if you go. "
When Kree heard this, he shouted unhappily, "Heavens. Xiao, you ungrateful fellow. How dare you treat me like this? I have to beat you up. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Kree, don't blame me for being too frank. Even if there are fifty of you, you won't be able to hurt me at all."
Everyone laughed.
Kree shook his head and sighed. "You've really met the wrong person. Xiao, how are you going to get there? Don't tell me you're taking a plane. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "I can rent a private plane."
Kree said, "Xiao, I think you might as well buy one. You often travel between Los Angeles and Beijing. It's really a waste of time. If you have your own private plane, you won't have to go through so much trouble. Anyway, it's not like you can't afford it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's a good idea."
When Kree saw that Xiao Yunhai was moved, he immediately became energetic and said, "Xiao, if you really want to buy a plane, you can look for me. I'm very good friends with the general manager of The Boeing Company. He can recommend the safest model to you. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Kree, you seem to be a little too excited when it comes to planes."
Lauryn said, "Mr. Xiao, you may not know, but our Mr. Smith has always dreamed of owning a private plane. This is an open secret in the company. Unfortunately, he has never had his wish fulfilled."
Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Why don't you buy one?"
Kree spread his hands and said, "The reason is very simple. I don't have the money. My father said that I can buy a plane, but I have to get married first. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You should hurry up and find a girl. Okay, tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to The Boeing Company together and buy the most luxurious and safest plane. Three days later, we'll take it to New York. What do you think? "
"Good, that's great."
Everyone cheered in unison.
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai drove to the Marvel Comics headquarters. After chatting with the employees for a while, he went to the office with Raúl.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Raúl, let me tell you a piece of good news. Three days later, at least six big stars of the MGM Grand will bring their families to Marvel Kids Land in New York to play. You must do a good job of promoting it. "
Raúl said happily, "That's great. Boss, who are they? "
Xiao Yunhai said the names of Lauryn and the others and said, "It may be more than these people. Lauryn and the others promised to help us invite other stars. I think we'll have the exact news tomorrow. "
Raúl said, "That's great. Boss, I received a call from Randi this morning. He said that the number of people who came to play in our children's park yesterday reached 300. Although it's far from the previous number, it's a very good start. At least, it's many times better than Disney's. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What's the situation with Disneyland?"
Raúl said with some schadenfreude, "Due to their improper actions during the safety incident, it caused strong disgust among the people. I heard that in these two days, more than 40 Disneyland parks in the United States have welcomed the lowest number of visitors in 20 years. If they don't think of a solution, they will really be in big trouble. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we should thank Kestel. If it weren't for his stupid decision, Marvel wouldn't have recovered so quickly. "
Raúl said, "That's right. By the way, Boss, let me tell you a piece of bad news. The first Steyr Amusement Park opened in Washington yesterday and welcomed 20,000 people on the same day. I heard that at least five Steyr Amusement Parks will open one after another this month. This is very bad for us. "
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "Steyr Networks is expanding too fast. Sure enough, it's good to have sufficient funds. "
Since Steyr Networks took over Paramount, not only did they swallow up countless small and medium-sized film companies, forming a super giant that covered the entire entertainment industry, they also built cinemas and amusement parks all over the country, and invested in more than 20 movies and TV series in one go.
In addition to their acquisition of MGM Grand, a rough estimate was that they used at least 60 million US dollars, which was about the same as Xiao Yunhai's total assets.
If the other seven major companies in Hollywood were large warships, then Paramount was simply a giant aircraft carrier. The difference in power between the two sides was too great.
Raúl said, "Boss, shouldn't Marvel also sign some artists?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and asked, "Why do you have this idea?"
Raúl said, "Our Marvel Comics has a large number of superheroes. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, we can raise a large number of stars. Rather than letting others take advantage of us, why not let ourselves take advantage of them? "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and felt that Raúl was right, so he nodded and said, "That's fine too. However, in this way, we will need to set up a specialized agency. "
Raúl said, "This is simple. With your status and Marvel's brand, who knows how many people in Hollywood will fight to come in. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "However, we can't just accept everyone. Those who take drugs or have debauched private lives, no matter how outstanding they are, will all be excluded. Raúl, you will handle this matter personally. "
Raúl said, "Don't worry, I will do it beautifully. Boss, actually, we have a few very good targets now. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Raúl said, "Your good friend is Director Bikven, who is working on the special effects for 'The Lord of the Rings' in Magic City. His contract with Fox Studios has expired and hasn't been renewed yet. The second one is Director Planck, who is filming 'Spider-Man' for us. He has always been a free man. The other one is Spiderman, Lance. His contract seems to have expired. "
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Raúl and scolded with a smile, "You old man, have you been eyeing them for a long time?"
Raúl's old-fashioned face also showed a smile and said, "It's a waste if we don't use such good talents."
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, "Okay. I'll invite Director Bikven to dinner tonight. First, I'll settle this Magic City's number one director. As for Planck and Lance, they seem to be filming in New York. Two days later, I'll bring the big stars of MGM Grand to our amusement park. At that time, I'll look for them. Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go and do your work. At 10 o 'clock, my economic advisor, Ms. Isabelle Christy, will come over. You can ask the front desk to let her in directly. "
Raúl agreed and left the office.
