Chapter 101 The only way to cope

After chatting with old Morgan and Mrs. Morgan for a while, and having dinner together, John returned to his room.

Standing in front of the window, John looked silently at Swan Lake in the moonlight in the distance. He was deep in thought, thinking about his opponent hiding in the shadows.

"Knock knock knock ......!"

"Come in....... ”

Dani walked into the room, looked at John by the window and said, "Boss, are you still thinking about that incident?"

"Hmm!"

John nodded. "Now there is an opponent who hides in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to give me a blow, can I not want to? And this person has to face up to his father, so it can be seen that he is not a good man and a woman. ”

Dani took John's words and said, "The most important thing is that we are in the light, this person is in the dark, and the situation is not in our favor. If you want to reverse the weakness, you must let the other party come out of the shadows. ”

Dani said this, looking at John and asking, "Boss, do you know Rocca's Law?"

John smiled helplessly. "You've got it with me, but it's too passive for us. ”

"But that's the only way. Dani was also a little helpless. "All we can do now is minimize the losses. ”

"Whew!" John exhaled. "This passive situation is really humiliating. ”

The solution he and Dani thought of was to wait, wait for the other party to make a move.

Rocca's Law says: Whoever walks must leave a trace.

As long as the other party makes a move, it will inevitably leave traces, and then there will be no way to hide, and you can only fight face to face with John. But in this way, John will have to bear the loss caused by the other party's shot. And this loss cannot be avoided, only minimized.

"Dani, take back the money from Jinx David, leave $200 million for him to continue the arms business, and return the remaining $200 million to the bank for the time being. "John can't put all his money in Jinx David or put it in the stock market, otherwise if the other party makes a move, all that awaits him is bankruptcy.

And now return the $200 million to the bank, even if the money in Jinx David and the stock market is gone, he still has $200 million in capital, and he will not have no way out by then.

"Okay, boss!" said Dani, who had no objection to John's approach. Until the opponent does not show up, it is best to save some of the strength and wait for the comeback.

After arranging the response, John's hanging heart slowly relaxed. "Dani, make arrangements, we'll be back in Los Angeles tomorrow. ”

"Back to Los Angeles?" Dani asked, looking at John in confusion. "Boss, we've just returned to New York, and isn't the movie over? What are we going to do back to Los Angeles now?"

John replied: "The matter of "Stealing Love" is over, but the matter of "Forrest Gump" is here. ”

"Isn't Forrest Gump going to start next year, and the pre-production of the movie, prop production, and scene construction are all done by professionals, what are we going to do?" asked Dani again.

"Although we don't need to do the props and scenes, the actors and actresses of the movie need to be determined now. You must know that the schedules of big-name actors are very intensive, and even some super A-level actors are scheduled for three years later. So at this time, we don't confirm that the actors sign the contract in advance, and then at that time, we may not be able to cooperate with some actors. ”

This is John's reason for going back to Los Angeles on the surface, but the reason he actually went back to Los Angeles is for a song. More precisely, for a public welfare song.

John has positioned "Forrest Gump" as a charity movie, so he needs a charity song to make the theme song of the movie. After recalling most of the charity songs from his previous life, he felt that Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" was a perfect fit.

The song was released by Michael Jackson just before Christmas 1991. So John had to convince Michael Jackson to give the song to John before Michael Jackson made the album and play it at the end of the credits as the theme song of Forrest Gump, in order to echo the theme of John's charity movie.

In fact, Michael Jackson's charity song "Heal the World" is far less appropriate than his other charity song "We Are The World".

Heal the World is all about caring for children, protecting the planet, and fighting war. And "We Are The World" is for charity fundraising, so "We Are The World" is more suitable. But the song was released in 1984. John didn't want to use a song that had already been released, so he had to settle for the song "Heal the World".

Although the theme of "Heal the World" is a charity song about caring for children, protecting the planet, and opposing war, there are some inconsistencies with John's fundraising to create a foundation, but John has figured out a way to turn this mismatch into a perfect combination.

That is, when the time comes, NBC reporters will go to Africa, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and other places to collect materials from children who have been displaced by war, famine and poverty. In this way, it reinforces the harm caused by war to children, calls on everyone to love peace and care for children, and weakens the concept of protecting the planet.

It's not that John doesn't care about environmental issues, but that the foundation he created only does charity for people, and the foundation will not get involved in environmental public welfare.

“boss!”

Just as John was thinking about something, he suddenly heard Dani's shout. "What's the matter?" asked John.

"Boss! I'm not going back to Los Angeles with you. Dani replied.

"Why? is there something wrong with you?" asked John, looking at Dani suspiciously.

Dani shook her head helplessly: "Boss, have you forgotten that I was pulled out of the university classroom by you, and now that Huaxia's affairs are over, I have to rush back to school." ”

"That's right!" John realized. "But when you go back to school, then I don't have an assistant to help me in Los Angeles. ”

Hearing John's words, Dani gave John a blank look. "Boss, I have to warn you, you're the one with the broker. ”

"Yes!" John suddenly realized. He suddenly realized that he had been using Dani as half of his agent before, and he had forgotten that Dani was his butler. John was a little embarrassed when he thought of this.

"Boss! When I go to school, you'd better find an assistant to help you, you can leave some unimportant trivial matters to him, so that you will be more relaxed, as for especially important or confidential matters, you can call me. "Although Dani has to go to class, John can leave at any time if something happens.

When John heard Dani's suggestion, he said, "Okay, I'll find an assistant, so you can go to school with peace of mind!"
