When Tang Lin came out of the Union Square department store, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, he waved goodbye to Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er; only after seeing them off, Tang Lin returned to his car but did not leave in a hurry, but watched Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er's car leave one after another, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Ming's number.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I have already told Tang Yi according to your request, he has broken with Tang Yu now, and Tang Wan'er also came with him today. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Lin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I want to ask if you really allow them to invest in the investment and operation of your next few projects? I don't ask this because I am worried about the damage to my own interests, but I just think that they have ulterior motives after all. ”

Then Tang Lin briefly repeated the content of the chat with Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er in the café just now to Zhou Ming: "That's it, they just want to develop their own industry by investing in you, because the laws of the United States and the clan rules of the Tang family will not allow the emergence of the big trust cluster, so even if they inherit the patriarch, at most they can only rely on the appeal of the controlling equity of the Tang Bank that they have in their hands to do things, if they have their own industry, they are not afraid." ”

"Isn't that good? everyone takes what they need together, after all, you are a big chaebol family that has been inherited for a hundred and fifty years, and it is impossible for me to control it, right? Unless I risk breaking up the Tang family, but unfortunately, I don't want to do this. Zhou Ming said.

"Why?" Tang Lin asked.

Zhou Ming smiled at this question: "What else can there be for this? Don't I want to control the Tang family, and I don't want the future surname of the Tang family to be Zhou, and you, the heir of the Tang family, will not be happy?"

Tang Lin felt very embarrassed by Zhou Ming's words: "Of course not, but I think that such an opportunity to have a big family wealth is unreasonable not to cherish in front of me, after all, in the current situation, as long as you can help Tang Ran inherit the family smoothly, and then you marry her, although she only has a controlling stake in Tang Bank, but with your ability, as long as you spend time, you will definitely be able to make the Tang family surnamed Zhou, isn't it?"

"I think other people would think so, and the idea is tempting, but there is one of the most important issues, and that is your attitude. Zhou Ming said, "Now I'm just helping Tang Ran fight for the right to inherit, and you have already targeted us like this, so if we really want the Tang family to change their surname to Zhou, then I don't know how many people will stand up against us." ”

Zhou Ming smiled and then said: "And I'm a lazy person who hates fighting, so instead of me constantly fighting with this and that, fighting for the control of this family, it's better to use cooperation to make money together." ”

"Cooperation, do you mean cooperating with everyone in the entire Tang family?" Tang Lin noticed the point in Zhou Ming's words.

"Of course I don't mind if it's possible, but I think it's very difficult to achieve, after all, the project I'm doing now is just Internet technology, and it's a bit crazy to work with all the people of the Tang family. Zhou Ming said, "Okay, anyway, it's hard for you this time, I'll invite you to dinner when I'm free, goodbye." ”

Zhou Ming hung up the phone after speaking, but Tang Lin stayed there for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and only after a long time did he smile helplessly: "This is the real big man!" It's ridiculous that Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er still wanted to create their own company industry through investment projects, and finally forced Tang Ran step by step to the palace, and gradually grasped the right to speak in the Tang family, but he never thought that Zhou Ming didn't take these things seriously at all. ”

Tang Lin turned his head to look at the commercial building next to him: "I'm afraid Zhou Ming's ambition is far more than a Tang family, otherwise he wouldn't have fought against the Adams family in Brighton, he is like a department store, tall and magnificent for people to look up to, and all-encompassing." ”

......

In the office of Jieke Company in Paro, Zhou Ming looked at Tang Ran in front of her helplessly, she was wearing a pink down jacket with a pair of leggings and snow boots underneath, all of which were releasing her youthful vitality.

This is a very beautiful young girl's dress, it is conceivable that if Zhou Ming leads her out, it will definitely arouse the crazy jealousy of other male compatriots on the street. But now the problem is that they are still in the company, and Tang Ran is the president of this company, just imagine that the president is such a young and fashionable girl, where can she still calm people? But Zhou Ming can understand her, after all, they are going to see a movie today, and she specially prepared it for a date with herself.

Zhou Ming was helpless, but Tang Ran came over and grabbed Zhou Ming's hand unknowingly: "Brother Ming, it's more than four o'clock now, and there is still an hour before the movie starts, let's go to the cinema quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is a traffic jam on the road for a while!"

Since Tang Ran said so, what else could Zhou Ming do, so Zhou Ming had to get off work in advance, and he and Tang Ran left the company after explaining to Cheng Qian.

They got into the car, and Tang Ran danced happily: "Great, I went to the movies with Brother Ming, I heard Xiaoxue say that couples here in the United States like to date and go to the movies, so am ......I also dating Brother Ming now?" Ouch!"

Without waiting for Tang Ran to finish speaking, Zhou Ming knocked on her head, which was really a bit open-mouthed.

Tang Ran also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he was honest when he was knocked by Zhou Ming, but his small mouth was still there, looking very unhappy.

But it didn't take long for Tang Ran to forget what he had just done, and took the initiative to find Zhou Ming and said: "Brother Ming, I really didn't expect that Jobs and Disney to move so fast, now we can go to see Toy Story, I remember that you said that it would take at least a month." ”

"Actually, it's still going to be a month, but today is a special screening event. Zhou Ming explained.

Tang Ran winked at Zhou Ming with a pair of big watery eyes, obviously not knowing what the hell the screening event was.

Zhou Ming explained to her: "You know that the public screening means that a movie is placed in all cinemas for scheduled play, and the screening is a special broadcast activity for individual theaters in individual cities before the release. ”

"For Toy Story, this screening is very necessary, although the release is determined to be five days later, but now the discussion of the soul of toys on the Internet has made everyone's enthusiasm reach the peak, and it will only go downhill if it goes down, plus some people are maliciously targeting rumors, if you don't let Toy Story come out in time, the result will only be counterproductive. ”

Zhou Ming continued: "Because of this, let's do a screening to warm up now, so as to continue to maintain people's enthusiasm. ”

Tang Ran nodded silently and remembered Zhou Ming's words, although she was still a little ignorant, she would definitely have to remember it herself, and then slowly understand it later.

After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the cinema where the screening was held, Tang Ran excitedly pulled Zhou Ming in, and then found the poster of Toy Story in a corner of the theater hall, she beckoned to Zhou Ming: "Brother Ming, come and see, the poster of Toy Story is so cool!"

Zhou Ming hurriedly followed, and sure enough, he saw a propaganda poster, on which was a picture of a space policeman pulling Sheriff Woody into space, with the title of Toy Story written in eye-catching large letters, as well as a very provocative sentence: Do you want to know what your toys are doing when you are not at home, when you are asleep?

Finally, in the lower right corner of the poster, the Pixar Animation Studio and Disney logos are typed.

"This movie theater is really unbelievable! Why is there only one poster on display for such a good-looking movie?" Tang Ran complained sullenly.

Zhou Ming rubbed his little head affectionately and said: "It's okay, after all, it's just a screening, simply put, it's to take it out first to try the effect, if the response is strong, are we still afraid that the theater owner won't add a promotional poster to us?"

"That's right, as long as we are good enough, we won't be afraid of anything!" Tang Ran straightened his small chest and said proudly.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran then went to buy tickets, the conductor was a black lady in her thirties, she was very surprised when she heard that Zhou Ming was going to buy tickets for Toy Story: "Did you know about this movie from God? Why don't I know it as a conductor? If it weren't for my conviction that today is not April Fool's Day, I would definitely think that you were joking with me." ”

Regarding the conductor's ridicule, Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, but Tang Ran pointed to the poster next to him and said, "But there are obviously posters there, why do you say you don't know?"

The conductor spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I can only say that you are very good at treasure hunting." ”

This era is not like later generations, where all kinds of instant computer tickets are issued, all of which are pre-printed, and when the conductor lowered his head and began to look for tickets, Zhou Ming asked her: "I think no one must have watched this movie, right?"

"Well, if it weren't for someone who just asked about this movie five minutes ago, I think I wouldn't have known. The eldest sister of the conductor said to Zhou Ming.

"Brother Ming, it doesn't matter, this is only the first day of screening, and now there is still half an hour before the movie is played, it is normal that fans have not come yet, Brother Ming, your movie will definitely get a good box office!" Tang Ran encouraged Zhou Ming.

"Would you like to get you two back seats?"

The sudden question of the conductor's eldest sister made Zhou Ming and Tang Ran stunned for a moment, and then they realized that this was specially for couples to do that thing.

So Zhou Ming blushed and said no, then gave the money and left with the ticket.

"Who are these people, why are their thoughts so dirty, they really hate it!" Tang Ran muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Ming can understand this, after all, in a dark place like a movie theater, and a boring thing like a cartoon movie, she saw that Tang Ran was so young and beautiful, and naturally thought that they were coming to the movie theater to 'do business'.

Then Zhou Ming and Tang Ran waited here for half an hour, and finally it was time to play, Zhou Ming pulled Tang Ran to the entrance to check the ticket, there were still only a few people here, plus Zhou Ming, they were afraid that there were just over ten.

"Why are there so few people? Is it because the propaganda is not good?" Tang Ran asked with some concern.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Ming's heart is also a little bottomless, although in the impression that the final box office of Toy Story is very gratifying, but that was four years later, and now a lot of things have changed due to his appearance, especially the movie is still in a hurry, God knows what the effect is. Screening warm-up, that's when someone watches it, it's called warm-up, if no one watches it, it's still a fart!

With such thoughts, Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's go and see it first." ”
