Start with hooves

Chapter 55
Lying by the infinity pool, you can have a panoramic view of the Los Angeles cityscape.

Unlike the Manhattan island of New York, which is full of tall buildings, this city only has some high-rise buildings in the city center, and other places are like community towns, which makes it difficult for people to feel how prosperous it is.

Growing up in Los Angeles in this life, Su Rui left for less than a month, and came back here today, of course he didn't feel any discomfort.

The Internet speed in Beverly Hills is much faster than that in Lanai.

Dozing off and swiping the phone for a while.

Probably because of being scolded miserably by netizens, that Marshall Branham finally stopped talking trash.

Only Yingzhan gave a reply, saying that next month they will compete on the Billboard Hot [-], whoever loses will take off his clothes and run a lap on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, attracting many passers-by.

Su Rui has never been short of money in her life, and has no other pressures. She hardly feels anxious, and rarely loses her temper over trivial matters.

Over time, I have developed a Buddhist temperament for more than 20 years, and now I just smile after watching it.

Not to mention that he can definitely win, at least he is sure to win.

He had already obtained the attention he wanted, and in just two days his Facebook followers had skyrocketed to more than 80, so he didn't bother to get involved with a mad dog like Branham.

After all, if the other party ran around with his back naked, he might become famous.

As a super rich man, Su Rui only took singing as his personal interest, so there was no need to put the influence accumulated over the years to bet against a bachelor.

Winning is no good, only Branham is concerned, but losing may become a joke, so he is underestimated and ridiculed by some top circles, which affects other huge interests.

So Su Rui didn't bother to talk to the other party and continued to browse the posts.

The people near him who recommended it to him are finally no longer the aunts and uncles on Lanai Island.

There are small internet celebrities taking selfies with their mouths pouting, and actresses showing S-shaped curves. The posts are finally much more normal.

Last time on Lanai, he saw a picture of a 60-year-old Caucasian tourist showing off her fat in a bikini, which scared him so much that he almost smashed his phone.

There is an algorithm when pushing, and the posts posted by celebrities are more likely to be followed.

For example, Jessica Alba, who showed her baby after giving birth, Suri knew about her marriage for a long time. However, after seeing the photo of Gal Gadot and her husband showing affection, Suri discovered that this Wonder Woman was also married.

Seeing Secretary Amanda approaching, he put down his phone and said with emotion:

"In a blink of an eye, many beautiful girls, those who gave birth to children, those who got married, felt that they missed a lot."

"Ha, I'm just saying there's nothing unprepared, it's just an excuse for not wanting to settle down and take a relationship seriously, right?"

After Su Rui heard this sentence, he didn't give any rebuttal, and said, "Probably, you go to contact Netflix, what do they say?"

Secretary Amanda told:

"The meeting time has been arranged. Mr. Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix, will take time to have dinner with you this Saturday. It is best to leave early, and you can also meet with Youtube's management. Put all the chips on Netflix."

"Okay, make an appointment for me. It's better to let others know that I have met with both of them, and I have more than [-] million US dollars in funds. This will help to lower the price."

Su Rui nodded, this was planned before.

It can be expected that once the network TV project starts to invest, it will inevitably cause resistance from traditional TV stations and Hollywood film and television companies. These people have monopolized the market for many years and divided up the profits.

In the early years, due to insufficient technological level and limited network transmission speed, they were not very impacted by the Internet industry.

When Su Rui enters the field as a new player and tries to divide the cake again, these companies will certainly not sit idly by, and the contradictions will be difficult to reconcile.

In the past, if people wanted to make a name for themselves in Hollywood, they had to work hard to gain the support of Hollywood benefactors. When Internet TV began to seize the market, it was not so much a battle between art and commerce as it was a battle between content and channels, involving thousands of people. The benefits at the billion-dollar level cannot be underestimated.

Su Rui could already predict that the situation would probably be troublesome.

He can't guarantee that the project will be able to develop, but many of them have been influenced by him in this life, and there are no good dramas made again, which is enough for Su Rui to seize the opportunity.

Investing in Facebook in the past was just providing funds, and there was no sense of participation.

Now that he is starting his second business, he wants to firmly hold the content production department in his hands. As for the specific management, he will make a decision based on the situation at that time. If he can find a suitable professional manager, he can leave it to others for help.

Check out the Netflix and Youtube profiles, and look for other potential acquisitions along the way.

Inattentive.

It was five forty in the evening on the west coast.

Su Rui hurried upstairs to change clothes, a striped shirt with a pair of slacks, and then drove the Ferrari Enzo, which had been idle for a long time and was regarded as a collection display, and went to Miss Lily Collins' house.

The Ferrari Enzo, released in 2002, cost about $60.

When he got his driver's license in 2003 and paid attention to this car, Enzo had already been sold out, so he chose to buy it from a resale car dealer, which cost more than 70 US dollars.

In his hands, the car has driven more than 3000 miles in total, and it is even more valuable now. As Ferrari's top supercar, it can easily sell for more than one million dollars. It is regarded as a collectible by many wealthy car enthusiasts. Hard to find a car.

The secret of the rich getting richer probably lies here.

They have the strength to occupy scarce resources, including real estate, artwork, securities, etc. As time goes by, they are often easier to increase in value, and practicality is something that ordinary people like to consider.

The bodyguards followed Suri, and he still remembered where Miss Lily's house was.

Parking the car at the garage door and taking a bottle of red wine from the passenger seat is one of the most common door-to-door gifts in the United States.

Suri considered wearing a bouquet of flowers, but that was too formal and likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Probably just like what Secretary Amanda said, it is true that I haven't settled down yet, and I don't know what I want. Compared with living a stable life, enjoying ambiguity is undoubtedly more attractive.

Passing through the iron gate and the garden, you can see two large tortoises in the yard, crawling on the grass.

After Miss Lily went out, with a bright smile on her face, she introduced:
"This is George and Bella, the birthday present I received when I was three years old, Sulcata tortoise. If you like it, I can give you a few eggs next time. I didn't expect them to grow so big. .”

The sulcata tortoise belongs to the third largest land tortoise in the world. It can grow to a weight of [-] to [-] centimeters and weigh [-] to [-] kilograms.

Suri laughed and said:

"That's for sure, they're interesting, but don't know if they'll work in Hawaii. I got a 1992 Screaming Eagle from the wine cabinet, don't know if you like it, I know the owner, go to the winery visited."

Screaming Eagle Winery is located in the Napa Valley of California. It is considered an ambitious American red wine estate, and has always wanted to hit the high end.

The quality of the wine is not bad, the price is not cheaper than the eight major wineries in France, but the reputation is not as good as Mouton, Lafite, Romanee-Conti and the like.

Miss Lily took the wine bottle and said enthusiastically:
"Thank you, I like it very much, but the red wine has been opened and is being sobered up, you go in and wait a while, dinner will be ready soon"
