Start with hooves

After returning to Beverly Hills.

Su Rui felt a little uncomfortable for a while when he suddenly became free after being busy for a long time.

I watch dramas and read books every day, attend parties every now and then in the evening, and sort out the work that has been delayed recently. I also took the time to accept an exclusive interview with Chinese media. The time soon came to the end of February.

Suri has been busy filming movies since the beginning of the year, including dramas such as "The Pink Club" and "Into the Wild", but Suri has never had time to watch them.

I saved a lot of episodes and watched them all at once, which felt very satisfying.

For example, in "The Pink Club", the little goblin played by Megan Fox competes with Amber Heard to win big clients. Occasionally, there are some scenes that men like to watch. Even Suri watches it. Can't take my eyes off it.

Not only is the plot brilliant, but the casting of the entire show is beyond praise.

Because of her wonderful performance in this drama, she completely exuded the sultry temperament of the "sexy little wild cat", and even "Hollywood's number one vase" and "box office poison" like Megan Fox were revitalized by Suri , word-of-mouth reversed instantly.

According to entertainment news, the popularity of several heroines in this drama has skyrocketed. The most intuitive evidence is that the number of Facebook fans of "Queen of the Sea" Amber Heard has increased from 10 to 10 last year. tens of thousands, increased to more than three million today.

Thinking that this woman had flirted with her on the set of "Pink Club", Suri felt a little distracted. Fortunately, the negative impression of her was deeply rooted, which to some extent reduced the charm of Amber Heard, otherwise it would be said Maybe after a few more contacts, Su Ruizhen will go with the flow and add some new interest to life.

Like the hit "Holy Grail", the concept of "Pink Club" also came from Suri's hand, and it was not a complete copy of the ideas in his mind.

According to statistics from Netflix Entertainment, "Pink Club", with a total investment of about US$4000 million, helped the company bring in revenue of US$3 million during the broadcast period, and added seven to eight million paying users, more than 2000% All are male.

This can be seen.

This type of drama, which is slightly larger in scale and often touches the audience's nerves, is indeed deeply loved by men and attracts audiences to come here.

After reading the data, Suri was inspired and began to consider planning one or two new dramas with a slightly larger scale to fill the gap left by the first season of "Pink Club".

On the other hand, dramas such as "Gossip Girl", "Desperate Housewives" and "The Vampire Diaries" are more popular among female audiences.

In particular, "Desperate Housewives" has helped Suri bring a group of middle-aged and elderly female viewers, which has also indirectly boosted the sales of Netflix Entertainment's customized smart TVs and DVD rentals from Netflix's parent company, making this group reluctant to accept new movies. People who like things began to pay attention to online dramas.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to customized smart LCD TVs, Netflix Entertainment TV boxes have also begun to be sold and can be purchased on Amazon Mall and some physical stores.

Apple's Steve Jobs was probably impressed by the charm of Netflix Entertainment's self-produced dramas. At the beginning of the month, he sent someone to contact CEO Terenz, hoping to cooperate with Netflix Entertainment in the "Apple TV" business.

Given the current situation, if it can cooperate with Apple, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to Suri and help promote the stock price to continue to rise.

of course.

This is on the premise that Netflix Entertainment does not launch smartphones.

The Netflix Entertainment board of directors, under Suri's proposal, has discussed plans to get involved in the field of mobile smart terminals as soon as possible.

And other board members, just like Microsoft, which is wary of controlling a huge user base, are worried that Apple will kick itself out of the game once the Apple TV business develops and users develop habits.

Therefore, the negotiation process for cooperation was not smooth.

Anyway, Apple does not dare to rely on its market monopoly position and risk facing antitrust lawsuits to completely block the Netflix Entertainment App. If the talks collapse, it will be a collapse. It is no big deal.

Suri didn't take this matter to heart.

The current market value of Apple is about US$2000 billion, and the latest market value of Netflix Entertainment is about US$380 billion. With so many eye-catching dramas, it is so big that there is no need to care about these small contradictions.

It is precisely because of the skyrocketing stock price of Netflix Entertainment that Suri's net worth has risen again and again. He has been busy reallocating assets recently, going to Dubai to take over unfinished projects, acquiring Dongjing Mall, increasing his holdings in Penguin Group, providing huge funds for S Electric Vehicles and Tweet, etc.

The growth rate of net worth is too fast, and the previous asset layout is no longer suitable, and a new round of optimized allocation is needed.

July 2nd.

David Levin, a senior partner of Goldman Sachs Group, came to visit Suri with a limited-edition Hublot watch, plus cigars and liquor as gifts.

Seeing the words "Wuniangye" written on the carton of wine, Su Rui felt a little weird. When he realized what he was doing, he almost burst into laughter and asked, "Is this box of liquor?"

"I specially asked my assistant to buy it in Chinatown. It has been stored for 50 years. I see that you and your father have invested in many liquor-producing companies in China. I think you will like this kind of liquor very much. I heard that it tastes the same as vodka. Intense.”

David Levine, who didn't know what the problem was, saw Suri smiling so happily, and even felt a little smug after speaking, applauding his wit.

I feel like this flattery was done right.

The wine boxes are all written in Chinese, which means that people who don’t understand foreign languages ​​mistakenly buy “dashabi” sneakers or French “Lafeel” red wine.

Out of concern for the face of this "old friend", he did not make it clear on the spot. There was a high probability that he was tricked by the vendors in Chinatown.

David Levin pointed to Hublot’s watch and said with a smile:

"I recently took over the business of this company, and the LVMH group tried to acquire it as a whole. I accidentally drank too much at the party, and I asked you to help promote it. The people from the LVMH group gave it to me and asked me to I’m giving it to you as a favor to me?”

"It's just a small problem. The brand is relatively new and the products are quite expensive. I have no reason not to accept it."

Suri opened the watch box and took a look. She saw that the dial and strap were both milky white, and the bezel was studded with diamonds. The style looked quite young and casual.

David Levine continued:

"The main reason I came here this time is to tell you that the Dongjing Mall that you acquired in China has basically been negotiated. All you have to do is sign a formal contract with them."

"Many original investors have expressed dissatisfaction with the company being sold, but the actual controlling shareholder Mr. Liu is on your side and the bid is higher than the market valuation. Many investors who participated in the angel round and A round of financing made profits of less than 3 to about 5 times, so they didn’t make any other moves.”

"But is this really necessary? According to the model of the Internet industry, China's online shopping market has been occupied by Alibaba for about 63% of the market share, and the rest has been divided up by many companies. The average price of products in this Dongjing mall is relatively high. It has been difficult to capture enough market share, and Amazon’s approach will not work in China.”

Suri didn't reveal much about his thoughts. He just shook his head and said, "I have other plans."

The words are not finished yet.

At this time, Jiang Jiaya came over with two cups of coffee.

When she saw the big words "Wu Niang Ye" written on the carton, she was stunned for a long time, then she burst into laughter and squatted on the ground, which completely made her laugh.

She is said to be a life assistant, but in fact she is Suri's childhood sweetheart. The two grew up together since childhood.

What could Su Rui say about her gaffe, but she reminded her helplessly:

"Don't spill the coffee. Lanai only produces a few and a half pounds of wild coffee beans. I haven't tasted them yet."

"But it's Wuniangye! I really can't help it."
