Chapter 21 The Establishment of a Film Company
On July 7st, the entire NBA league seemed to be the end of the world. This date of "Great Shutdown" that will be recorded in history is regarded by many celebrities and media as the worst event in the NBA for decades.
Bruce strolled boredly on the streets of San Jose, looked at the crowd of all kinds around him, and inevitably felt a little unreal in his heart. Once upon a time, in his previous life, he was still fighting for the position of manager of that small team. But now he is enjoying his life leisurely.
And the place he is going now is the most famous place in the San Francisco Bay Area, "Silicon Valley"!
Silicon Valley is composed of many cities, and several of them want to "connect with relatives" with the headquarters of the world's most powerful technology companies. Even if it is a little bit, the whole city's tourism And the economy will be a prosperous scene, and San Jose is called the "capital" of the Silicon Valley area because of its largest area, and this gimmick has indeed attracted tourists!
Bruce skillfully called a taxi, told the driver his destination, and then enjoyed the unique technology stores around him, as well as the local culture!
It didn't take long, Bruce's eyes shone with a strong light, and he looked at the buildings with huge signs with some excitement. Intel, Apple, HP and IBM were all located in this famous "town" famous for its technology.
After a short journey, Bruce has seen no less than thousands of large or small technology companies named after various technology companies, especially pedestrians, which gave him a sense of seeing the usual behavior of those rushing white-collar workers in his previous life. group!
With extremely fast strides, carrying their own document bags in their hands or on their shoulders, and fast food casually carried by a celebrity, the entire Silicon Valley is rumbling like a huge company!
In the afternoon, Bruce returned to Oakland with some unfinished business, pushed open the office door, and Cole was sitting in his chair with a beaming face.
"Dude, are you finished with your work?" Bruce had a little guess in his mind, and then sat down on the sofa near the desk with a smile.
"Dude, why didn't you go to Santa Monica with me? There are so many handsome men and beautiful women there!" Cole looked with bright eyes, recalling the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica. The beauties in sexy bikinis were his main focus, and he said excitedly, "Dude, now you have a new job!"
"Wow! Why do you look like you are too weak?" Bruce had a joyful expression on his face, and he joked in his mouth, and then said, "How is the company's affairs going?"
"Don't you still trust me?" Cole handed him a piece of information proudly, pointed to himself, and said, "This is the person who paid a small $50 for an idler. The folks got an independent film company with good financials!"
"Really?" Bruce looked at him with some surprise. In his opinion, a small film company with good finances is extremely unlikely to be sold, even if a large company swallows it like a big fish eats a small fish, and wants to It is absolutely impossible to buy for 50 US dollars!
"Dear Mr. Idle, don't you know how much your questioning has insulted me?" Cole looked at him with a pitiful look, and he was the first one who couldn't hold on to this nasty resentment , then smiled and said: "I really have to thank Uncle Muller!"
It turned out that when Cole was running around for the company's affairs, Muller Chris, who got the news, paid close attention to those bosses who were interested in selling the company for him. It was also Cole's luck. A company with good finances intends to sell, and what's more coincidentally, the relationship between the boss of this company and Mueller is not bad, because he was locked up after following Soros in blocking Hong Kong this year, and he still uses the company in his hand as a friendship. The price deal was given to Muller!
In this way, a company with a fairly good financial situation and operation has become Bruce and Cole's!
"Cole, you must thank Uncle Muller!" Bruce looked at Cole seriously. For this kind of friendship and sponsorship, he, who has experienced the "fighting father" era in his previous life, is still very grateful for Muller's help!
"Of course!" Cole nodded vigorously, and he was very approving of his uncle's approach. Although this approach of relying on relatives is a bit awkward, it is often difficult for people who are embarrassed to sell even the first step. This kind of handy carrying thing is something that can be met but not sought after!
Bruce nodded in satisfaction, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said with some hope: "We will give 10% of the shares in the company to Uncle Muller. What do you think of this idea?"
After hearing this, Cole began to think seriously, his eyes lighted up suddenly, he gave a thumbs up in admiration, and said: "You guys are doing really well, as long as you tie Uncle Muller to our chariot, then he There are nearly 150 theaters in hand." After a pause, he said excitedly: "No, the resources of the 350 theater chains will be more or less biased towards us, buddy, I really admire your business model!"
"This." Bruce looked at the excited Cole in astonishment, and said to himself that this kind of practice is already a trick played by those predators in the business circle. Just agree, and now it's not difficult to see from Cole's expression that this seemingly inferior binding model, since he agrees with it, this alone makes him a little hard to understand!
"Dude, I know what you're thinking!" Cole looked at Bruce with a dull expression with a smile on his face, returned to his seat, picked up some cold coffee on the table, and said, "If you use this model on other people , will definitely be ridiculed to death, but it is an amazing thing to use it on Uncle Muller and my dad!"
"What can you say?" Bruce looked at him suspiciously. Although he had long wanted to tie Kent to his chariot, he still had some scruples after all. OK, so why is Cole saying that now?
It has to be said that Bruce is still doing things in the same way in his previous life. In the United States, especially the close godfather and godson, from the perspective of China, this is like the act of recognizing a godfather, but in China it is that This kind of "recognition" with a little skill is extremely sacred in the United States.
Especially to the godfather and mother who have a very close relationship with Bruce and Chris, as they said in the previous life, "carrying guns together".
Even if Bruce's father and Kent hadn't fought with guns, the well-organized fraternity in college still surpassed the perception of outsiders.
"Come on! Don't my old man and Uncle Muller always like you very much?" Cole deliberately showed a sad look. He used to be very jealous of Bruce's treatment in front of his relatives, but now after more than ten years of getting along , has long regarded him as a part of his family.
A clear memory plunged Bruce into the memory. In the memory, Kent and a burly white man were holding up "myself" and teasing happily, and the Christmas gifts that made "him" screamed made him even more so. Brought into inexplicable happiness.
Bruce sat on the sofa with an extremely happy smile, a trace of gratitude flashed across his face, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your understanding and generosity!"
"Okay! I admit that I was very jealous before! But... aren't we best brothers now?" Cole looked at the grateful Bruce with a little excitement.
For a moment, the whole office seemed to be immersed in the beautiful brotherhood, until a car horn sounded, which awakened the two guys who had fallen into good memories!
The two looked at each other, and both burst out laughing!
"Dude! Do you want to have a wedding of the century with me?" Cole exaggeratedly raised his head back, and then said with a look of horror: "You know how much I like those sexy babes!"
"God!" Bruce patted his forehead weakly. Although the memory in his mind had clearly told him what a funny guy Cole was, he now had a better understanding of what "" Funny"!
"Okay! Mr. Cole!" Bruce looked at him seriously, and said with a displeased face: "Do you still remember the charming and sexy third-rate star Miss Ivanka with a hot figure that night?"
"Damn it! That night was originally mine!!" Cole stood up exaggeratedly, flew onto the sofa, and then started to play around!
Southern California, Santa Monica!
Bruce stood in front of the company called "Warhammer Films" in a well-dressed suit, followed by his lawyer, personal property manager, and Cole with a serious expression, and the others walked in slowly. With a happy smile on his face, one can guess how happy he is now!
"Misters and ladies, hello everyone!" Bruce greeted the few people seated with his trademark bright smile. With his friendly tone, the company's uniform team, who were still worried about their future, suddenly relaxed. One breath!
"Hello! Mr. Bruce, we welcome you very much!" A middle-aged white man in a white-collar suit was the first to say hello. He was very curious about his future boss!
"Hello! Mr. Silva Trum!" Bruce still remembered this guy who is the acting president of Warhammer by virtue of the company personnel list sorted out from the previous information!
"Uh..." Silva was suddenly stunned. Although it was only the first time we met, this somewhat young and over-the-top boss remembered his name. The old man who had been beating for many years was a little surprised!
"You don't have to worry so much!" Bruce didn't pay attention to Silva's expression, and continued gently: "No employee in this company will lose his job, and I want to further expand this thriving company. .So, you really don't need to worry about this!"
"Phew..." A faint sound of exhalation came from below, and the old man, who was only three supervisors and a few employee representatives, breathed a sigh of relief!
"As for the future plan, I think Mr. Cole Chris is very happy to explain it to everyone!" Bruce still looked at the crowd with a smile, then pointed to Cole sitting on his right, and finally said: "From now on, we The company will show its charm with a brand new name, and Mr. Cole will serve as the company's president!" After speaking, under the surprised expressions of everyone, he glanced at Cole, who was obviously bored, and smiled. walked out!
