When the background music plays, the theater falls silent.

It wasn't until Li Zitao got up to face Hughes that he clapped his hands with a smile that the people who were awakened finally let out thunderous applause.

The moment he heard the applause, Hughes's clenched palm finally let go.

He doesn't care about money, but he cares about success or failure, and he cares if his efforts are recognized.

Tonight, he succeeded.

"An unprecedented blockbuster, Howard Hughes ushered in a new era in Hollywood......" Hollywood headlines.

"Films that must not be missed this year......" Variety magazine.

"It's unique, with an investment of $4 million, allowing people to see what a movie should look like, a magnificent masterpiece ......," Herald Express.

The news of the premiere was transmitted to the world through the radio as soon as possible, and exaggerated adjectives were repeatedly used in this hugely expensive film.

Newspapers containing relevant information are printed at the factory and shipped to various cities in batches.

The protagonist who caused all this is locked up in the viewing room by himself at the moment, ready to edit some subtle flaws in the film again.

"Hughes. The door was pushed open, and the assistant exclaimed.

"Wait...... Volume Fifteen, yes, there was so much noise, I heard a cough, damn it, get it off for me...... Volume XVII, When the Plane Crashed......"

"Sorry, he's always trying to be perfect. The assistant turned back apologetically, and it was Li Zitao and Ava beside him.

"Genius is always different. Li Zitao said with a smile.

"That's right. The assistant nodded approvingly.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Hughes finally had his time to spare.

"Hughes, Mr. Lee wants to talk to you. The assistant stepped out of the way, exposing Li Zitao and Garbo to his sight.

"I'm sorry, Charlie......" Hughes stroked his head and smiled wryly, "It's been a mess today." ”

"It's okay, so can we talk now? It only takes a few minutes. Li Zitao smiled politely.

"Of course. Hughes invited the two to come in, and the assistant closed the door.

"Charlie, what's the matter? Are you interested in this film, but I remember that DreamWorks doesn't seem to have its own theater. Hughes joked as he straddled the back of his chair.

"No, I want to talk to you about airplanes. Li Zitao pointed out.

"Oh, you want to build an airplane?" Hughes's eyes lit up.

"It's not that I'm thinking, it's already doing. After receiving the information handed by Ava, Li Zitao easily stirred Hughes.

"I heard that you want to be the best pilot in the world, are you interested in joining us?"

"You like to fly, too?"

"No, no, I don't like flying, but I love thrills, I love setting records, I love hearing people screaming for me, crazy screams......"

"Skunk Studios, which currently employs 49 designers and experts in the field of aviation, aims to build the fastest flying aircraft and the largest airplane. ”

When he heard 'fastest' and 'biggest', Hughes was clearly interested.

This coincided with the idea in his heart, the fastest, the biggest, it was like moving a cruise ship to the sky...... That's pretty cool.

"How much money are you going to invest?" Hughes asked, leaning over and in a hot tone.

Raising a finger, Li Zitao said softly: "Unlimited." ”

"Cool, Charlie, I love the number, infinite...... Haha......" Hughes's loud laughter echoed through the room.

"Now it's your turn, what do you want?" Li Zitao asked as if he had leaned back and sat down on a Diaoyu Tai.

"30 percent of the shares, I can follow the ......" Hughes flipped through the papers, "Skunk, I like the name, I can buy the corresponding shares at its market price." ”

"10 percent. Li Zitao smiled.

"28 percent. Hughes handed the file back to Ava.

"12 percent. ”

"......" Hughes was a little speechless, he hated this kind of department store-like bargaining, "15 percent, but I want 49 percent of the vote." ”

"No way. Li Zitao sat up straight and said: "I can leave the decision on the direction of project research and development to you, and it is impossible to have 49% of the voting rights." ”

People have feelings, and if Hughes had 49 percent of the voting rights, he would get along with the designers of the Skunks.

If one day the two of them clash over a disagreement, which side will the skunk be on?

Li Zitao didn't want to work hard to raise the 'skunk', and then watch them run away from home one by one.

"I'm up to the R&D decisions, including funding approvals," Hughes said again.

"What do you think?" Li Zitao rolled his eyes up and glanced at him fiercely.

"Okay! 15% of the shares, the right to decide the direction of research and development, no less than 4 million dollars of research and development funds per year. Hughes retreated.

"Deal. Li Zitao doesn't care how much money he invests, he just wants to have his own big plane as soon as possible, comfortable and safe.

The luxurious Airbus, with its suites, entertainment, bar, whirlpool, and 5x5 round bed, is now driven crazy by the sound of the 'buzzing' machine.

It was agreed that the contract would be signed at the Rofus Hotel at noon tomorrow, and Li Zitao said goodbye and left.

"Boss, why did you agree to his conditions?" On the street, Ava followed Li Zitao's side, and the car slowly followed behind.

There were cheers all around, and people rushed to tell each other about the grandeur of "Hell's Angels" and the persistence and greatness of Howard Hughes.

It's as if there is a share of credit for success.

"Think the conditions I gave him are too good?" Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Yes. Ava admits that she not only thinks Li Zitao's conditions are too good, but also thinks that she is too polite to him.

It's a pity that Ava doesn't know Chinese, otherwise she would have understood what Corporal Lixian is.

She admits that "Hell's Angels" is on the verge of unprecedented success, and it may even change the scale of investment and filming structure in Hollywood.

But so what?

Compared with Li Zitao, a person who is worth only tens of millions, even if he adds the industry left to him by his parents, he is worth only tens of millions, and he is really no different from ordinary people.

With Ava's understanding of Li Zitao, it is unique for him to be able to rush to the factory in person, just to meet the chief designer.

In other words, this company called 'aerospace' has an important position in Li Zitao's heart, at least it is different for him.

If this is the case, then why let outsiders intervene, they have enough designers, mechanical engineers, have huge financial reserves, have all-round support.

Besides, does a boy who makes movies really know how to build airplanes?

If he takes the investment and directs it randomly, the money will be wasted.

"Ava, what do you think of the think tank?" Li Zitao asked suddenly.

"The perfect management structure can effectively integrate resources and provide efficient solutions. Ava said with admiration.

"When I first met Ben, he was a stock manager. Thinking of the first time he met Ben, Li Zitao didn't expect him to become the chief thinker under him.

"You're saying Hughes has the potential to be Ben. Ava clearly didn't believe it.

"No, he can't be like this, but no one else can be him, trust my eyes, and he will bring me cheers and praise...... And miracles. ”

Li Zitao said with a mysterious smile, and his steps forward were a little brisker.

If you want to harvest, you have to pay, and in this half a year, the most important thing Li Zitao has learned is to know how to share, as well as humility and respect for his subordinates.

Genius? Pride?

It doesn't matter, as long as it can create benefits for me, these can be tolerated.

Li Zitao maintains the salty taste that salted fish should have, and he doesn't feel at all that with his current success, he has to put up a shelf and put together a pomp.

To remain successful, he needs to attract more talented people to his team.

It was his good fortune, Disney was his prophet, and now Hughes is the same.

Successful people will eventually succeed, and they have qualities that ordinary people don't have, and maybe no one, not even themselves, doesn't understand what it is.

The finishing touch, these people themselves are the souls in it.

What would it be like to have an apple without Jobs, and what would it be like to have an apple with him?

Without Lee Kun-hee, there would be no Samsung, and some people will say that he is catching up with the good times, he is supported by the government, and he is kidnapping the state-run people's livelihood.

Then why is he the only one of his contemporaries who has achieved Samsung, why can he get government support, and why can he kidnap the state-run people's livelihood?

See, you can tell a lot of truths, but you can't find the thread.

It's like people in my previous life always said that if I could catch up with the 80s, I would be the one who got rich first.

And then what?

The age of the Internet is coming, have they succeeded?

And then millennials will say, if I can catch up with the early days of the Internet, I can be a galloping horse.

And then what!

The era of intelligence is coming, how many Zach are there?

Without foresight, even in the turbulent times, they can only be themselves.

If you insist on attributing all this to the times, then they are the darlings of the times, the illegitimate children of the goddess of fate.

Now that Li Zitao has the opportunity to turn these bigwigs into his own wage earners and embezzle the achievements and banknotes that should belong to the bigwigs, isn't it beautiful? What else is there to complain about?

"I can't believe you'd encourage him to build a plane, oh my God!" Garbo thought it was ridiculous when she knew what he had just done.

Howard Hughes, go build airplanes?

Wait, let me see if it's April Fool's Day?

"Three dreams, don't you know?" Li Zitao lay on the sofa.

"Yes, be a baseball player, make movies, be the best pilot, but what does that have to do with building airplanes?"

Doesn't it necessary to be able to cook, drive, and build a ship?

So here's the problem.

Why do men sow the seeds of life and not nourish them?

"Others may not, but Hughes, yes. Li Zitao said with great certainty: "He knows more about aircraft than most designers." ”

Because that's his dream, what he loves, what he pursues from the heart. ”

Seeing Li Zitao's serious expression, Garbo admitted defeat: "It's good if you're happy." ”
