Chapter 1099: Flattered
In the evening, Capital International Airport.
A large Boeing plane landed steadily on the runway with the roar of its engines, and half an hour later, a group of passengers pushing suitcases appeared in the international passenger lane.
Beijing is a tourist city, receiving up to four to five million foreign tourists every year, making the Capital International Airport one of the busiest airports in the world.
Among the new foreign tourists, a team of more than a dozen people was quite eye-catching, wearing uniform black down jackets and dragging suitcases with the same logo, attracting the attention of the passengers next to them.
Mark Peterson, the leader, did not notice the strange stares from his surroundings, and his mood at the moment was quite complicated, curious, apprehensive, and excited at the same time, which is difficult to put into words.
As the CTO of Rubik's Cube Studio, Mark Peterson has lived in the United States since he was a child, and it is the first time in his life that he has gone abroad, and he has come to China on the other side of the ocean.
In his impression, China has always been a very backward country - at least that's what the media said, but then the media propaganda has changed again, in short, mostly negative.
Therefore, on this trip to China, Mark has a feeling of exploration and wilderness.
Walking in the passenger passage, he thought about what kind of living treatment his team would get, what kind of hotel they could live in, what kind of food they could eat, he didn't like Chinese food very much, and what the sanitary conditions were here, and whether he could get timely treatment if he was sick...
In fact, Mark would rather stay in a Hollywood studio than take a ten-hour plane to the other side of the ocean and work here for two or three months.
But there was no way, for the sake of ten state-of-the-art IBM workstations, he had to lead the team to complete the contract agreement signed with DreamWorks, otherwise the Rubik's Cube Studio would not have enough funds to update the equipment.
"Mark..."
Just as Mark was thinking, he was lightly bumped in the arm by his companion.
Mark raised his head a little dazedly, only to see that he and the others had already walked to the exit of the passage, and among the welcoming crowd in front, there was a welcome sign held high that was very eye-catching.
It has his name and the name of the Rubik's Cube studio written on it!
Mark suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly walked over, and stretched out his hand to the person who greeted him: "Hello, I'm Mark Peterson. ”
"Hello, Mr. Peterson. ”
The other party said enthusiastically: "Welcome to the capital, we have been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Mark grinned, "Thank you." ”
Led by the other party, Mark's team quickly boarded a luxury minibus waiting outside, while Mark himself sat in an S-Class Mercedes-Benz.
"Mark, we meet again. ”
What Mark didn't expect was that there was Luo Kai sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz!
Luo Kai asked with a smile, "How are you doing?"
"Oh!"
Mark exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Luo Kai, why are you here?"
Now Mark already has a considerable understanding of Luo Kai, and he deliberately checked a lot of information about Luo Kai when he was in the United States, and he can be said to be very admirable for this young rich man.
He didn't expect Luo Kai to come to the airport to greet him in person, and he felt a little flattered.
At this time, Mark's mentality is completely different from when he first met Luo Kai.
Mark belongs to the typical kind of high-IQ and low-EQ academic talents, but low EQ does not mean that he does not understand the world at all, and does not understand what it means to be a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Luo Kai smiled: "I'm here to welcome friends." ”
Mark got to know Luo Kai, and in turn, Luo Kai also conducted a detailed investigation on him, and had already obtained a much more detailed information than the one provided by Jin Yuan.
Mark is a true computer genius, as well as a veteran game fan and science fiction fan, and his self-developed MGC software is highly regarded in the industry, and most of the success of the Rubik's Cube studio is built on MGC.
After getting the MGC-related information provided by the Rubik's Cube Studio, Luo Kai roughly calculated that if DreamWorks could get the authorization of this set of software and produce the special effects of "Space Traveler" on this basis, it would save at least half of the money and save a lot of time.
"Space Traveler" chose to set next year's Spring Festival file, which means that it will take less than a year to complete the production of this sci-fi blockbuster, and it is also because of the cooperation with the Rubik's Cube Studio.
Moreover, the team cultivated and trained by the "Space Traveler" project will also be the main force in the production of "The Wandering Earth", laying the foundation for the future of DreamWorks.
As the soul of MGC, it is not too much for Luo Kai to attach more importance to Mark Peterson.
Of course, Luo Kai can't bet all of DreamWorks' future on working with Rubik's Cube Studios, and MGC is not the only option, and this time the production of "Space Traveler" also has digital power involved.
In the future, DreamWorks will continue to improve its technical capabilities and develop its own software, with the aim of becoming the world's first-class special effects team and driving the development of the domestic film industry.
Another point is that Luo Kai admires Mark a lot, because the other party is a relatively pure technical nerd, if the person who comes is replaced by Benjamin, the CEO of Rubik's Cube Studio, he is too lazy to come over to greet him in person!
Hearing Luo Kai address him as a "friend", Mark was a little dizzy: "Thank you." ”
Luo Kai laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to the hotel and settle down first." ”
The Mercedes Benz started and drove the two to the art park where the Dream Building is located.
When the car drove out of the airport expressway, it soon entered the downtown area of the capital.
At this time, it was already thousands of lights, tall buildings and flickering neon, changing light and shadow shone on Mark's face through the car window, he looked at the night scene of the capital outside the window in a daze, a little confused.
Luo Kai noticed his gaffe and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
“OMG!”
Mark lost his voice and said: "It turns out that the capital is so modern, and it is comparable to New York!"
The first time he went abroad, the first time he came to China, the urban cluster composed of modern skyscrapers in the urban area of Beijing, brought him a shock that was not ordinary.
The capital is comparable to New York, and it is completely better than Los Angeles!
This is not to say that Mark is uninformed, but that the cityscape of the capital completely subverts his impression of China, or more accurately, the misleading media.
Luo Kai said with a smile: "In fact, Beijing is not our most modern city, if you have time, you might as well go to Huhai to see, Huhai is more prosperous than Beijing." ”
