As we all know, the advertising fees broadcast by TV stations are based on seconds, and the prices of advertising broadcasts in different periods are also obviously different.

Of course, judging from Augustus's network at this time, Zheng Jianguo had no intention of fooling him: "Do you mean the film and television base project, or the project I am going to invest in?"

"Fine, as long as you agree, I feel that your way of looking at things is fundamentally different from mine-"

took out a cigar scissor from his pocket to repair the cigar in his hand, Augustus tilted his head and said that it didn't matter, he always said to you, Zheng Jianguo nodded and said: "That's definitely no problem, there is still a lot of money in the film and television base, because the next project I plan to build is Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, at least Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace will be built."

If calculated in this way, it will take about 300 million US dollars, and when this investment is implemented, I will start the investment in the construction of a highway connecting the capital and the magic capital, so that you can pass through this film and television base, of course, it will take about 3 billion to 5 billion US dollars. ”

As far as I know, the capital is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the magic capital, so this money should not be enough, right?"

When Augustus was about to trim his cigar, a tall woman in a tight skirt appeared out of nowhere, holding a silver plate in her hand and picking up the cigar crumbs he had cut, and then turned away without looking at the two of them, leaving Augustus, who was roasting the cigar with a lighter, and continued to ask: "Or do we both contribute $3 billion to $5 billion each?"

"No, you and I will jointly contribute 3 billion to 5 billion US dollars, and the rest will be paid by the republic, because the joint venture law there does not allow foreign capital to monopolize shares, of course, provided that if the republic stops the progress of opening the country, the money will be wasted-"

Zheng Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said the possibility of failure, but when he saw the inexplicable look cast by Augustus after finishing speaking, he also continued: "Even if it is successful, its recovery period is calculated in ten years, and this is not an oil contract." ”

"But if you make friends with the republic, the business that makes money in the future is not just blocking the road and charging fees, right?"

Although Augustus didn't know who Lü Buwei was, he could understand how Lü Buwei's business was done just by virtue of the businessman's sense of smell, which was nothing more than befriending the powerful and then using his own financial resources to support the other party to return to a high position.

Even after a higher position, it is the time to get returns and gains, Augustus said: "Oil contracts are gambling, and it is okay to occasionally go in and make money under the trend, but if you take this as a career, I don't know if you have heard of losing nine out of ten bets?"

"Have you heard of this? After all, I've been in America for a while—"

Resisting the unique aroma of a cigar heated by a lighter? Zheng Jianguo just thought about the old cigarette gun lung picture he had seen and stopped the temptation of addiction, he came to talk to Augustus about this? But he had his own thoughts: "So now we're making money on oil contracts?" Then it is time to adjust the direction of investment and transform the money into industry, so build a highway, a one-time investment to collect money? I feel very operational—"

"No matter how much, leave 30% of the shares for me? In addition, I need to ask someone if I want to get involved~"

Smelling the fragrance of the tip of your nose and feeling almost? Augustus said as he put away the lighter, put the cigar in his mouth and took a puff, then swept Zheng Jianguo's cheek and smiled: "You don't plan to enjoy it?"

"Planning, considering that I already have a white swan on the plane, I plan to order a luxury cruise? And it's about being different—"

Tell me what you think? Zheng Jianguo just smiled like a flower, but as his thoughts came out, Augustus blinked with a smile and said, "Are you talking about yachts?"

"Cruise ship, I plan to copy a Titanic 1:1, the name is Titanic 2? Give yourself a gift and treat yourself. ”

Zheng Jianguo smiled and shook his head? I saw Augustus show a sudden expression: "Copy a copy of last year's ".", ?——okay, young man's thoughts?" I'm afraid I can't keep up with the times. ”

"Yes, it's last year's ".". What if I make a copy of one? Someone is going to make this movie in the future? You don't have to think about props, and you can build the popularity of the ship. ”

For spending money, Zheng Jianguo also found several directions, the satellite of the TV station he was going to contact the British aerospace company, and the plane had already had a white swan, so the rest could only run on the ground in the middle of the sea.

In fact, since he saw a report on "." in the media last year, Zheng Jianguo has taken the reconstruction of the Titanic as his willful goal after he has money, otherwise the money will not be earned and will not be used to enjoy it, which is also a suspicion that he will not be able to run away from Pryuskin.

Of course, when "." was released at this time last year, Zheng Jianguo didn't have much money in his hands, after all, he didn't think that he would toss out so much cash in less than a year, so to rebuild the Titanic at this time can be regarded as a suspicion of giving himself exposure and popularity.

Just spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a big toy, Zheng Jianguo didn't really want to make this ship an ornament, especially in his memory that sometime in ten years, the Titanic would be known to the world because of a certain love.

So at this time, if you build it in advance, and when the time comes, you will travel around the world regularly, and Zheng Jianguo believes that you can earn it back: "Even if I fail to invest and lack money, I can still let it go on the unfinished journey of the Titanic, which must attract a lot of rich people——"

"Well, I've heard of your White Swan, it's fast enough to catch up with the Earth's rotation, but it's a bit too expensive-"

Augustus rarely expressed his disapproval of Zheng Jianguo's purchase of such a thing, but he didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to dispel his evaluation in one sentence: "The reason why the white swan is called the white swan is because it is given the weight of life by me, and it can transport patients to the best hospital in the shortest possible time——"

"Then money is nothing in the face of life—"

Hearing Zheng Jianguo's explanation, Augustus instantly thought of his parents who were far away at home, and said with a smile: "Zheng, you didn't let your family stay here for a longer period of time?"

"I lived, but I was homesick, my parents' education level was not high, and they had their own understanding and cognition of that land, which I couldn't force - "

remembered that the last time Du Xiaomei lived for a few days, she couldn't stand it, Zheng Jianguo also knew that people like his parents couldn't be idle, and once they were idle, they would be easy to think crankily, so all kinds of problems would pop up.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo also knows that the main reason for being here is the language barrier, usually his father and mother don't even have a visit after work, and in terms of his memories in his previous life, he knows that some people's functions have deteriorated seriously after retirement, and most of them are caused by this idle mentality.

Once a person's spirit and spirit are gone, then the decay of the physical body will reach a speed that is visible to the naked eye, Zheng Jianguo immediately spoke: "Older people are easily stubborn, and young people can't be said to be old and stubborn——"

"Ha, Zheng, you're not talking about me, are you?"

Augustus spat out his cigarette and said with a smile on his face, but he was joking, and then pointed to the door in front of him and continued: "Since you said that you want to build a ship, there happens to be a shipyard owner over there, who is also our family, let's go-"

"Hah, then I'd love to find out. ”

Finding that he had ignored Augustus's age, Zheng Jianguo also laughed, and followed him to the door with double doors, only to see Augustus push it open, only to find that the layout he imagined was here.

The space was two hundred square meters, with soft lighting in light tones, carpets that seemed to sink in, and men in suits and leather shoes and ladies in small dresses sat at square tables of the same size, whispering or raising glasses, and occasionally the sound of knives slashing on the plates.

"Come with me—"

Looking around the room, Augustus tilted his head and said hello to Zheng Jianguo, and then led him towards the small table leaning against the windowsill, the other men and women sitting at the table raised their eyes from time to time, Zheng Jianguo looked at Shi Shiran with a smile on his nose and nose, and soon followed Augustus to the square table and stopped, and then heard him speak: "Hey, Delia, how about letting Anthony me for a while, I have a business to introduce to him-"

"Hey, Augustus, you're teasing me again—"

At the square table, although Anthony was wearing the same suit as Zheng Jianguo, his shirt buttons and tie were open, and he was obviously in a state of drinking a lot at this time, and he looked at Augustus with a slightly drunken face, and then tilted his head to look at Zheng Jianguo beside him, and when he raised his hand and wanted to say something, his face suddenly appeared: "Oh, you are the Zheng Jianguo, right?"

"Yes, Anthony, I'm Zheng Jianguo. ”

His eyes swept over the corners of the other party's stubble mouth, Zheng Jianguo looked at Delia with misty eyes across from him, only to see a messy silk scarf tied around the other party's neck, and obvious pleats on the low evening dress, so he found that this Delia's lipstick was the same color as the corner of Anthony's mouth, so he turned his head and looked at him and said, "It's nice to meet you, Anthony." ”

"Ha, it's a little grumpy, it's the first time I've seen a Chinese person express their dissatisfaction with me. ”

After Anthony looked at Zheng Jianguo with a fluttering look in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Augustus next to him and said, and finally looked at Zheng Jianguo and said, "Zheng, what kind of ship do you want to build?"

"Anthony, you're drinking too much now, and I don't talk to drunk people. ”

Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and said, then turned his head to look at Augustus and said, "Because people who can get drunk are overwhelmed." ”

"Zheng, Anthony is like this, either half-drunk or sleeping after being fully drunk, Anthony, Zheng wants to rebuild a Titanic, what is the offer on your side?"

Augustus took a puff of his cigar and didn't care, Zheng Jianguo looked at him silently again, and then said: "1:1 replication and construction, in addition to power, we must try to restore it-"

"For the sake of your attitude of not brushing your sleeves away, I can tell you that according to your requirements, I am afraid that this kind of ship will not even be able to pass the safety audit after it is built-"

Waving his hand, Anthony leaned back on the chair and looked at Zheng Jianguo obliquely, and continued without waiting for him to ask: "First of all, the original number of lifeboats is insufficient, and if an accident occurs, it will be like the Titanic, and people can't escape if they want to, and then there is satellite communication equipment and radar, which can be installed in the chimney, anyway, the diesel engine can't be used, it can only be used as decoration."

As for the cost, it depends on the steel plate material and process you use, of course, considering that you are going to rebuild a Titanic, then it will cost a lot of money to search for information, but maybe those who study the ship know that someone has rebuilt it, and it may be provided for free. ”

"By reconstruction, I mean to do our best to restore what is required today, after all, there are no ships that can carry thousands of tons of coal at sea. ”

Unexpectedly, the other party was drunk and still had a clear mind, Zheng Jianguo nodded and confirmed the other party's statement, of course, he also knew that even if the ship was paid in full now, it would not be able to be rectified in a year or two: "Under the condition of maintaining the same appearance, using the best steel plate and the most advanced technology, I think you have to go back and calculate, right?"

"Rebuilding the Titanic is not 10 million, 20 million dollars, it will take hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

Anthony seemed to be a lot more sober, at this time Augustus had already dragged two chairs from the table next to him, gave Zheng Jianguo a hand, and then sat down by himself, then looked up at Anthony and interjected: "Money is not a problem, you will make a budget after you go back, and then the two of you will discuss it to see if you can reach an agreement, Zheng is a strong man who is strong and strong in everything, Anthony, you have to remember to owe me a personal favor." ”

"Oh, really?"

Blurry eyes looked at Zheng Jianguo's cheeks again, Anthony subconsciously glanced at the female companion Delia next to him, and found that she was also with her eyes full of question marks, so she nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to sign a letter of intent with me, otherwise my father will ask after I go back, and I won't be able to pay the difference-"

"Is this a ship 2 or a ship 3?"

A sudden look flashed on his face, Zheng Jianguo guessed the identity of this person, he should belong to the bottom quarter of the college, but when he graduated, he reached the top few grades and became a top student, so he had a little understanding of what he looked like.

The family is not short of money, and he is a super scholar, if he is an authority in the field like himself, then Zheng Jianguo really has only envy, if his son can graduate from Harvard University as a scholar in the future, it should be almost this kind of unruly character: "You scumbags, it's just that you don't have more money than me, that's because your father hasn't struggled, but it's not as good as mine in professional learning, isn't that scum?"

Finding that Zheng Jianguo was in a hesitation, Anthony glanced at Augustus next to him with confused eyes, and then said: "If you don't bid, then let's sign an intention now?"
