On this night, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel was brightly lit, media reporters gathered, and countless big-name stars walked into the main entrance of the hotel from the camera.

But more people have already entered the interior of the hotel.

Ronan, Mary, Robert Iger, George Clint, Robert Lee, García Rodriguez, and Mark Randolph, among others, stood at the door of the ballroom to greet the guests.

Regardless of the past, at least tonight is full of guests.

Among the four major investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley all sent representatives, and more people from small and medium-sized companies arrived early.

Among the mobile phone manufacturers, the prince of Samsung Group, the CEO of Sony Ericsson, the president of operations of Motorola, and the CEO of Nokia's US branch also came one after another.

Apple, which is preparing to enter the mobile phone industry, Steve Jobs did not come, but sent his right-hand man Tim Cook as a representative.

The mobile phone giants are here, and Qualcomm will naturally not be absent.

On the Hollywood side, the CEOs of the big six companies all accepted the invitation, and companies such as DreamWorks and Lionsgate also came over.

The number of companies in more related industries is innumerable.

Compared to these business giants, Hollywood stars are just a small group of inconspicuous people.

The reception started on time, and immediately after Ronan's speech, it became the focus of the banquet hall.

Since I am in the business district, this kind of business communication and entertainment cannot be avoided, even if there is no desperate persuasion here, the kind of vulgarity such as not drinking is looking down on me, but from time to time I raise a glass with others to take a sip, but for more than half an hour, Ronan also drank a lot.

Jessica Felton saw Ronan raise a glass with someone again, beckoned to the waiter, and whispered a few words.

The waiter left, and a few minutes later came with a glass of water.

Mark Randolph approached Ronan with several major mobile phone manufacturers, as well as representatives from Qualcomm.

"I just heard from Mark that the business of the Netflix network is all from Mr. Anderson's design. Lee Jae-yong said with a smile: "Very good idea, we can expect the future of Netflix." ”

Ronan talks about professionalism, far less than these professionals in front of him, but there are some things, he knows more: "Everyone, I always believe that the future of mobile phones lies in intelligence, in the combination with the Internet, as long as we join forces to promote, the future of the Internet's largest terminal, must be mobile phones." ”

A representative from Qualcomm responded: "I believe that. ”

Mark Randolph said: "After Netflix started rolling out on mobile, the number of users worldwide skyrocketed by nearly three million in just three weeks. ”

Everyone present has a certain vision, and it is not difficult to analyze that Netflix's model and the alliance promoted are very likely to represent the future.

Only Nokia's representatives, who are equally bullish on Netflix but have reservations about the alliance it has formed, have been silent.

However, other companies are very positive because they see great prospects for growth.

For such a business alliance to be formed, it must be possible for the participants to see a profitable future.

After a glass of wine together, Mark Randolph and these people went somewhere else, and they got together rarely, and there were many more topics to discuss.

After more than half a year of hard work, several parties also have the most basic intention of cooperation.

But they won't come to an agreement easily, because Netflix has unlimited prospects and only prospects.

It will be a long marathon negotiation.

No one can guarantee whether anyone will be left behind during this period.

Tim Cook came over at this time, looked at the mobile phone manufacturers who were walking away, and said, "Ronan, don't forget that you are the majority shareholder of Apple." ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "Tim, can I be considered a major shareholder?"

In the past few years, most of his personal income and company dividends have been invested in Apple, and some of them have been invested in Amazon.

After Google went public in August this year, Ronan also invested a small amount of money in Google's stock.

But the investment amount is not large.

Android has been taken by Netflix, and Ronan has kept an eye on the Internet video business, as long as YouTube appears, Netflix will have countermeasures.

All of this will have an impact on Google's future in some way.

Of course, Google will still be an Internet giant, after all, Google's operating income reached nearly $300 million last year.

Tim Cook laughed at this time and said, "With a total of 2.75 percent of the shares, Ronan, you are already one of the largest groups of all individual shareholders of Apple." ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "If someone wants to sell their shares to cash out, or Apple wants to raise funds to expand their shares, Tim, you must inform me." ”

"It was a wise decision. Tim Cook said: "Apple's future is limitless. ”

Ronan added: "Is Apple's first-generation smartphone ready to go to market?"

On the other side is Apple's shareholders, and Apple's management has already announced the relevant news at the shareholders' meeting, and Tim Cook said directly: "It will take another two years." ”

Ronan nodded lightly: "In two years, with the development speed of Netflix, it may become the next Google, and Apple will not consider fully cooperating with Netflix?"

"We're thinking about it. Tim Cook said seriously: "The board of directors formally discussed whether Apple needs to invest in Netflix if Netflix goes public." ”

Ronan smiled: "Apple investment is welcome." ”

In fact, Apple is also short of money now, and even if it can invest, if Netflix goes public next year, Apple will not be able to buy too many shares.

Tim Cook asked for a glass of wine and toasted with Ronan: "I wish us a happy future cooperation." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Ronan raised his glass as well.

After Tim Cook left, Ronan's side was quiet for a while, but the smell of alcohol was a little upwell, and his stomach was not very comfortable.

Jessica Felton walked over quietly.

"Drink a glass of water. Jessica Felton handed over the glass of water: "Light salt water, it can cure hangover." ”

Ronan took it, and he was not polite, and took a sip slowly, and the warm water fell into the solitary, bringing a wave of warmth, and suppressing the wine.

Jessica Filton glanced at him, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you. Ronan took another sip and said, "Much better." ”

Jessica Felton casually said, "My mother used to use it for my father, and it was said to work well. ”

Ronan laughed, "It works really well. He drank the water from the cup: "Jesse, you still care about me." ”

Jessica Felton said indifferently: "The main thing is that I have nothing to do, I basically don't know your business partners, those actors are like peacocks, and I'm not interested, I just happened to see you." ”

Ronan asked, "Didn't Lindsay come?"

He knew that Jessica Felton was relatively close to Lindsay Beale at Relativity Entertainment.

"David Fincher is going crazy for that film project. Jessica Filton said simply: "I pulled Lindsay and New York to meet her classmate, and I guess I won't be able to come back for Christmas." ”

Ronan nodded: "These big directors have a crazy side. ”

Jessica Felton reminded: "Someone is coming. ”

Ronan also saw that Gisele Bonson walked over with another model, it was a very familiar face, and she was also a super celebrity in the fashion circle today, Angela Lindwo, who was nicknamed the old fox by many media.

At the same time, this is also his old lover.

"Good evening, Giselle. Ronan certainly wasn't embarrassed, first greeting Giselle Bonson and then shaking hands with Angela Lindwer: "Long time no see, Angie." ”

Looking at Ronan and the beautiful woman with a hot figure next to him, Angela Lindwo was in a somewhat complicated mood, but quickly adjusted, after all, the past has long passed.

"Good evening, Ronan. Angela Lindward's eyes turned to Jessica Felton.

Gisele Bonson was the first to say hello: "Good evening, Jesse. Introducing, this is Angela Lindwo, my friend. Angie, this is Jessica Felton, the producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. ”

Angela Lindwo greeted Jessica Felton and chatted a few words each.

"When did you come to Los Angeles?" Ronan asked Angela Lindwo.

"It's been a while. Angela Lindwo's fox eyes turned back to Ronan: "I don't have your contact details anymore. ”

This was a pun, Ronan of course understood it, and did not dwell on it, and said: "If you have something, you can come to the Relativity Building to find me." ”

"I will. Angela Lindwo saw that Ronan didn't say anything and no longer had any illusions.

The model has come to her point, and the range of options is actually very wide, and there is no need to hang on someone.

There is a lot of intersection between the entertainment industry and the fashion industry, and all the practitioners here are veterans, even Jessica Felton is used to seeing all kinds of ups and downs in the circle.

Ronan didn't dwell on Angela Lindwo and instead asked, "Giselle, why did the dollar see Leo?"

Giselle Bonson said with a smile: "Leo met Mr. Clint, he was talking to Mr. Clint about the movie, so he didn't come over to disturb you. ”

Ronan asked, "I heard that you and Leo will have a wedding next year?" The news has long spread in the circle: "It's time to decide......"

He didn't finish his sentence because Jessica Filton, who was next to him, quietly pulled down his sleeve.

Giselle Bonchen said vaguely: "There is no time to determine for the time being, if it is confirmed, we will notify you." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, although Jessica Filton next to him didn't say it, he could also guess, and it was estimated that there were new rumors between the two.

Mark Randolph came over with a few more people, and Ronan saw the faces from Wall Street and said, "Sorry, Angie, Giselle, a few friends are here." ”

"We won't bother. Angela Lindwow took her own initiative to leave the place with Gisele Bonchen.
