Vol 3 Chapter 64: ready to start

    "How is it? I mean, does it fit?" Galen asked half-yawning, looking at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

      There are many patterns, no matter how they change, as long as you wear them, you can feel them."

    "But this time it was made in Cannes. Although it is said that the French are very fashion-conscious, this is not Paris after all." Galen muttered, and turned around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror .

    "I said before, I can buy you a cabinet of clothes." Sean's half-joking, half-serious voice came over.

    "No need, Sean, no need for that." Galen shook his head, "I don't wear it every day."

    "Okay, guys, don't you understand yet?" Sanders laughed beside him, "Although his girlfriend couldn't follow him, he can watch it on TV or in news pictures. to him."

    "Oh?!" Sean and Neil immediately lengthened their voices, while Galen rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

    Seeing this, Sean also changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what do you think of my ideas, how about buying a plane?"

    "Which one do you want to buy?" Sanders asked, "Airbus 380?"

    I said before that when the cost of leasing and purchasing is similar, the choice of aircraft type must be the main reason. Sanders also knows Sean very well, so he asked directly.

    "Sounds good, but didn't this model complete its maiden flight last year? It's going to be put into use, but it won't work this year?" Sean thought for a while, then shook his head.

    "It's still a Boeing 747," Galen would naturally support the change of topic. "Although it is said that the Airbus 380 will surpass the 747 to become the world's largest passenger plane, but in the official launch The 747 was always the biggest before it was used, wasn't it?"

    "You want Sean to buy a big plane so much?" Neil interjected, "Why don't you just buy the spruce goose and remodel it, anyway, Sean also played Hughes." Don't you really think that the stuff that has been in the museum can fly after the transformation?" The startled Sean asked jokingly, "Or do you have a suggestion, Neil?"

    "Boeing 737 is also good, there are close to 100 seats, and there are more than 100 or even 200 seats," Neil said seriously, "I really don't think you are going to pursue too much. Larger, Gulfstream-type private jets are actually pretty good.”

    Sean blinked, thought for a few seconds, then grinned, "Okay, I'll think about it."

    Neal's overtones He understands that although the momentum in all aspects is good, Google's stock price is soaring, and Sean's exit from the board of directors also put forward conditions, his shares will be diluted slowly.

    The development momentum of the production company is also good. Although the power is further divided by the board of directors, Sean's words still have some weight, and he has participated in many high-profit productions. As long as it continues, he can basically decentralize and maintain his influence after the release of the following "Twilight" by Down's Films and a big harvest.

    Afterwards, both facebook and YouTube are still fermenting. Because of Sean's participation, the active users of the former will soon exceed 10 million, so they have the confidence to reject Yahoo's nearly 1 billion With the investment of US dollars, the social kingdom is about to take shape.

    The latter has now embarked on a completely different development path. With Sean's support, Neil is completely free to do it, and the user is growing at a geometric speed, faster than Facebook, after all It is easier to get started. The videos uploaded by netizens are increasing every day, and a new type of communication method has been officially displayed in front of the traditional media.

    Then, when WB and UPN announced their merger in early May, Neil also began tentative contact with major TV stations. However, he didn't appear too urgent, he just communicated a little and stopped asking.

    "Are you really calm? You must know that there are already countless investors or funds who want to buy shares." Sean had asked him this in a half-joking tone before.

    So far, all the funding for YouTube still comes from Sean, in other words, he is eating alone, and in the United States, where capital operations are already very well-established, this behavior will be strongly resisted.

    So, Neil initially suggested that his funds should be diverted out, and through a series of channels, he would inject capital in the name of various leather bag companies or funds, making YouTube seem to have accepted a lot of investment , until reaching out to the Big Four TV stations—soon to be the Big Five—and the media groups behind them.

    However, this trick can be covered up for a while, and it cannot be covered up forever. If it is discovered before reaching an agreement with several major media groups, it will definitely fall into passive.

    But Neil is very confident in himself, his previous investment company is also very good, and he is very familiar with the various methods of Wall Street.

    "Look, even though reality isn't quite on our blueprint, I'll get it done, I promise." That's what Neil said, looking confident. grasp.

    Since this is the case, Sean will not say more, this kind of thing naturally has to be handed over to professionals, and since it is handed over to professionals, it must be trusted.

    Okay, back to the original topic, although these investments are all very good, but the funds that can be used are not much - this is not much for the purchase of aircraft.

    If you just buy a regular Gulfstream aircraft, it is not much different from the cost of leasing an aircraft. It is nothing more than turning the rent into purchase costs and maintenance costs. But if you want to buy other models as aircraft, such as the Airbus 380 that has not been officially put into operation, or the new model of the Boeing 747, it will cost a lot more, and the purchase cost alone will cost 100 to 200 million.

    For such a price, even if it is paid in installments, Sean still has to weigh it. If it were a few years from now, this would be nothing at all, but now it is somewhat of a burden.

    Although the income of the production company and the filmmaking is quite large, the various expenses after paying the tax are also quite large, not to mention that there are women and children to support. Although the development momentum of Facebook and YouTube is good, they are still burning money in essence, and Google does not pay dividends. Although it is not that he cannot afford the money, it is not necessary.

    This is what Neil wanted to say, but he didn't say it. Sean felt that his opinion was reasonable, so he accepted it. However, in this way, the yacht may be replaced by a luxurious point.

    Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Frederick walked into the room: "Are you ready, guys, there's a lot of media coming to the premiere tonight, ours The big stars are about to shine again."

    He laughed and hugged Sean, then winked at him: "Especially standing with Cate Blanchett."

    "It seems that you have prepared a topic for me, don't you?" Although Sean asked calmly, his eyes were stern.

    "Of course not," Frederick laughed immediately, "I'm just giving an example, that's all."

     Galen's voice came in at this moment: "Speaking of which, did you thank Ms. Blanchett in person, Sean?"

    "This... I already said it in private on the crew of "Babel Tower"," Sean was stunned for a few seconds, glanced at the manager who was secretly relieved, and immediately spread his hands, "As for the presence of many people, but not yet, you know, my reputation is not very good."

    "That's right, you have to bring that little assistant wherever you go now, and even come to Cannes. To be honest, have you already taken a fancy to her?" Neil joked. One sentence, and then several people pricked up their ears, especially Frederick.

    "How come," Sean sighed, "I won't have anything to do with my assistant, it's easy to confuse feelings and work, and then affect each other, and finally lead to many problems. "

    "Really?" Several people immediately asked in a long voice, including the agent.

    Sean rolled his eyes immediately and came again, obviously they were telling the truth, but they didn't believe it, which was really annoying.

    The knock on the door rang again, this time it was Emma who came in, wearing a black thin-shouldered dress and a narrow tube skirt, but she was still pretty.

    "Hey guys, are you ready, it's time to go," she said, nodding to Frederick as a greeting.

    But she was quickly startled, because Galen and the others looked at her with meaningful eyes, as if they wanted to watch a good show, which made her a little nervous and inexplicable.

    "Okay, we got it," Sean had to answer, then waved at them, "Why don't you go down first and go to the hall to see if the car is coming."

    "I've been waiting outside, I just confirmed it again." Emma answered subconsciously.

    Suddenly, the expressions of Galen and the others became even more bizarre, looking at her with half a smile, only Frederick, a serious look, as if none of these existed in front of him.

    "Very well, let's go down together." After a few seconds, Sean said after a dry cough.

    "That's right, let's go down together, I'll go ahead." Neil shouted first, then picked up his jacket with a smile, and walked to put it on.

    "Let's go." Galen shrugged and followed behind him.

    Saunders did not speak, patted Sean on the shoulder and became the third, Frederick had something to say, but looked at Sean and Emma, ​​with his hands spread, Also followed.

    "What's wrong with them?" Emma couldn't help asking.

    "It's nothing, I've become accustomed to malicious guessing." Sean scratched his head, then waved his hand, "Let's follow along, you said just now, it's almost time, right?"

    Pause, he looked at her, raised his hand to do something, but finally put it down: "Frankly, you are beautiful tonight, Emma. "

    "Thank you." Emma rolled her eyes, obviously not appreciative.

    Sean had no choice but to call haha ​​and ask, "You really don't plan to go in through the front door with us?"
