With only a spoonful of rice and a glass of fresh water for each of the stowaways, the distribution was quickly completed, and Ulrich Sandmann and his two men skillfully cleaned up the empty plastic buckets, while several other members of the smugglers who had gone down to the bottom warehouse together groped their way into the crowd, and there was a tugging and arguing in the darkness, accompanied by begging and sobbing, and soon seven or eight women were driven away from the crowd and towards the hatch not far away.

The other stowaways were silent.

There were very few women involved in smuggling, and Ulrich knew that these were ownerless women.

Without the protection of men, perhaps, after arriving in France, the end will not be too good.

The three of Ulrich followed out of the bottom warehouse with empty barrels, and had just arrived on the deck, which was already lively, and the members of the smugglers on the ship were all involved, wearing masks and naked, like an open-air carnival under the stars.

Rejecting Captain Renault's invitation, the three Ulrich returned the empty barrels to the galley, before returning to their cabins together.

The two subordinates who had been with Ulrich for a long time may have been moved in their hearts, but they did not have the slightest intention of getting involved, and their boss was very gentle when he was gentle, and he was strict enough when he was harsh, and the two subordinates even felt that Ulrich would kill them decisively if necessary.

Can't participate in the carnival on deck, not because of any moral factor. They are already wandering in the dark, not to mention morality, the law does not have much binding force on them.

The main thing is the tasks that can affect them.

That's all.

Back in their cabin, the three of them played poker for a while, then rested and woke up again, still dark outside.

The darkness before dawn.

The freighter has also arrived off the coast of France.

There was no pier, and more than a hundred people arrived on the shore on several speedboats that came to meet them, near the southern French city of Nice.

In the three days after going ashore, it was a quiet but cautious succession, a total of 129 smugglers, except for a few who went to seek refuge with relatives and friends, most of them were divided into three waves, and rushed to Paris, the capital of France, one after another.

Smugglers arriving in France, led by organized gangs of illegal immigrants, are quickly assigned to dark corners of Paris to start their new lives, based on factors such as gender, age and skills.

Dutifully followed up the entire placement process, and this time I think it's finally over.

Ulrich and two of his subordinates rushed to one of their bases in Geneva, Switzerland, on July 3.

This time, all five teams under Ulrich's name were dispatched, and Latin America, Africa, and Asia boarded out to play France's smuggling routes, and all of them went through, except for the Asian smuggling team, which was still on the way, and the other teams all returned.

The next step is to organize the information.

In a lakeside villa in the north of Lake Geneva, already a little remote from the center of Geneva, Ulrich was carefully drawing in front of a large map of the world with a red pen, the door of this large open office room was pushed open, and a subordinate hurried in from outside, holding a document in his hand: "Boss, the results of the election on the Russian side are in, and Yeltsin has won." ”

Ulrich's hand did not stop, clearly uninterested.

Dennis Peck, the leader of Ulrich's second group, who had just completed a smuggling voyage from Libya to France, saw that his boss was not interested, so he put down the printout of the page of Internet news, pulled an office chair and sat down at random, looked at Ulrich's drawing, thought about it, and said, "Boss, I think I may have guessed a little bit what our big boss wants to do?"

Ulrich is still working in silence.

Dennis Peck smiled helplessly again, and turned to another person who was busy in front of the computer on the other side: "Raphael, do you want to know?"

The white man in his early thirties named Raphael Creech smiled and shook his head, also very shameless.

Dennis Peck showed a look of being hurt and crazy, but he couldn't help it, whether his companions wanted to hear it or not, he didn't vomit or be unhappy, and said: "I think our big boss wants to do the exact opposite of Hitler's back then." ”

Ulrich frowned slightly when he heard Dennis say this, and finally opened his mouth to reprimand: "Danny, I don't want to hear your words similar to the above intentions, otherwise I will report that you are not suitable for this job." ”

Denis Peck shrank his neck when he heard this, knowing that Ulrich was not joking at all, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I promise, never again." ”

Moreover, there is no dissatisfaction with his current job anyway, he doesn't want to be kicked out, in fact, Dennis is definitely not a person of many words, he will only be more talkative in front of Ulrich, mainly because Dennis is a subordinate personally brought out by Ulrich when he was in Stasi, not only is he also a teacher and friend, but even a friendship that is close to family affection.

Ulrich was not interested in the results of the Russian elections, which had just come out, however, on this day, the attention of the global media was focused on this matter.

Simon was also the first to receive the news.

After a tough six-month campaign, Yeltsin finally defeated his biggest rival Zyuganov with 53 percent support.

It can be said that this election is also another watershed moment for Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

If Russia's economy has collapsed in the past few years, with the results of this election, the major oligarchs who supported Yeltsin's re-election have further controlled all aspects of the country, and have begun to expand at a faster pace, thus bringing the Russian economy deeper into the abyss.

The next day, July 4th.

American Independence Day.

Simon and the two Jennies were busy all day, mainly attending the wedding of Daenerys Entertainment CEO Amy Pascal, the Hollywood female executive followed Simon all the way, and contributed greatly to the development of Daenerys Entertainment, so Simon also gave twelve points of importance to the wedding of this female executive.

Amy Pascal didn't make a big deal out of it, asking for less than 100 guests, but she was also lively all day, and planned to spend a short solo day vacation with her husband and then return to work after the weekend, and make up for it after the honeymoon.

On the same day, the North American summer season also started a new week.

Although July 4 is a Thursday, the box office week was brought forward by one day due to Solo Day, and a total of three major new films were released on that day: MGM's same-sex comedy "Birdcage", Disney's action blockbuster "Death Island" starring Sean Connery, and Sony's comic book adaptation "Phantom".

After the day of solitude, the next day, a full box office week also came to an end.

From June 29th to July 4th, Daenerys Entertainment's only independently produced blockbuster movie "Guillotine Valley", which opened last week, successfully defeated "007: Ghost Party", which won the weekly box office champion, and successfully reached the top.

Although it does not have the aura of the "Batman" series, Tim Burton's "Guillotine Valley" still receives a lot of praise, with a comprehensive media score of 8.8 points, which is close to the level of a classic.

Even, Simon feels that maybe it is the lack of the drag of the "Batman" series, which has become worse and worse, that has made Tim Burton's new film more and more concerned. Speaking of which, because there is no former "Batman", the net worth has decreased, and the production cost of this "Guillotine Valley" only cost $70 million in the end, far less than the $100 million in the original time and space.

In the first seven days of the painting, "Guillotine Valley" earned nearly $17,000 per cent, earning $51.39 million in the first week.

In the past, the local box office of "Guillotine Valley" was only about $100 million, but this time, with the support of Daenerys Entertainment's strong distribution offensive, this fantasy film, which was advertised as 'every frame is enough to serve as a beautiful poster', earned $51.39 million in the opening scene, coupled with a near-classic word-of-mouth, a local box office increase of about 50% is not a big problem.

Considering that the total cost of production and publicity of the film is only 100 million US dollars, the local 150 million US dollars is enough to recover most of the cost.

It is obvious that the blockbusters produced by Daenerys Entertainment are often overseas, so the box office alone is enough for Daenerys Entertainment to recover quite a lot of profits.

With the success of "Guillotine Valley", the film's male and female protagonists, Johnny Depp and Mia Koschner, have increased in popularity significantly.

Speaking of which, since "Edward Scissorhands", Depp has been mixed in various low-budget solo film circles over the years, and even has shown signs of slipping from the second to the third tier.

The other Mia Koschna, is more typical.

Westeros Girl.

Although Hollywood does not have such a public title, and because Simon has a lot of popular stars, it is obvious that Mia Koschna's popular route is very classic.

Well-informed insiders also know that Simon Westeros gave Tim Burton a high level of authority, but he did not compromise on the heroine and insisted on using Mia Koschna, the actress with a pure appearance and a particularly cold and depressed atmosphere, and also interpreted the role of the little witch in "Guillotine Valley" wonderfully.

So, after the grinding of the previous few small films, Mia Koschner also became famous in one fell swoop.

This is the real non-existent moisture in one fell swoop.

In the final analysis, if an actor wants to become famous, it is still about popularity, the more people you can let know your name, the higher your coffee position, and participating in blockbuster movies destined to be released on a large scale around the world, even if the film is not successful, it is enough for the actor to gain considerable popularity, and, correspondingly, more opportunities. This kind of popularity gain is completely incomparable to those low-budget films that only grossed a few million dollars, unless you get an Oscar nomination directly.

With the success of "Guillotine Valley", Daenerys Entertainment also took advantage of the situation to officially announce that Mia Koschner will star in James Mangold's new film "Soul Shifting Girl", along with Angelina Jolie, the daughter of Hollywood Oscar winner Joe Walter.

Because of the Solitary Day holiday, and the fact that there is not much conflict between the two films in terms of subject matter, in the third week of the release of "007: The Ghost Party", in the face of the impact of "Guillotine Valley", the box office decline remained strong at 31%, and another $38.6 million was collected, and in three weeks of release, the cumulative box office of this 007 series of super blockbusters reached $183.99 million.

Judging from this box office trend, "007: The Ghost Party" has basically locked in the box office champion position in the summer of 1996.

As for whether it can sit firmly as the box office champion of the year, it depends on the box office performance of films such as "Wonder Woman 2" and "Breaking Bad" at the end of the year.

After the weekend of Independence Day, on July 8, a new week, Westeros officially launched its bond issuance program.

The first to be announced was $3 billion from AOL.

From the first half of the Westeros system's continuous reduction of holdings, the financial market has constantly reminded investors of the risk of the bursting of the new technology bubble.

Even though AOL announced that the $3 billion bond would be mainly for overseas investors, on the day the news was announced, the North American stock market still saw a significant decline, and the soaring Nasdaq market fell by 1.2% in a single day, after all, the market is not stupid.

It's just that the capital market has never been truly rational.

After Monday's 1.2% decline, the Nasdaq market rebounded 0.7% on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, it rebounded by 0.8% again.

By the close of trading on Wednesday afternoon, July 10, the Nasdaq had reached 4,215 points.

At the same time, among the leading technology stocks that have attracted the most attention from the capital market, Igrett has gradually begun to ride the dust, on Wednesday, the market value of the emerging Internet company has reached $387.6 billion, and after the Nasdaq index broke through 4,000 points, it is clear that a $400 billion company will soon appear in the North American stock market.

The industry predicts that the final market value of Igrete may dominate about 10% of the entire NASDAQ market.

Compared to the Yahoo of the past, this seems a little incredible, however, the current Ygrete is far from being comparable to the Yahoo portal of the past.

With the quiet and continuous business upgrading, the proportion of the portal business has become smaller and smaller, and whether it is the Internet basic tool software monopolized by Igret, or the soaring online advertising business, or even the cloud computing business of other peers in the world, it has really provided a large amount of cash for Eaglet, which is also completely incomparable to Yahoo, which has not yet formed a complete business model even if it has reached the peak of 100 billion market value.
