Everything related to "The Last Samurai" has gone beyond the development track that Li Mu expected.

Even Li Mu didn't expect that he just leaked the plot of this movie on the Internet, and then successfully used the history of World War II to incite a wave of angry youth resistance, but he didn't expect it to develop to such a wonderful point today.

Li Mu didn't expect that the film company, the film and the actors would be able to play scheming to such an extent, Warner set aside the director and starring to hold a press conference alone, originally seemed to be because he wanted to take all the responsibility and protect others, but no one expected that it would be a big show carefully planned by them, if it wasn't for Edward Zwick breaking the news, people would not be able to perceive the wolf ambitions of Warner and Sumitomo at all.

Warner immediately became the most despised film and television company, and Meyer was also complained about as the worst person in the whole of Hollywood.

What is certain is that Warner will be difficult to turn over for a long time in the future, and Meyer has been scolded as a dog, and has completely become the most disgusting corporate CEO, not one of them.

Of course, the people not only pointed the finger of anger at Meyer, who lied, but also at Sumitomo, who was extremely large and secretly operating at the same time, and for a time, Sumitomo was almost rejected by the whole world.

And Edward's revelations about Jiro Horita and Sumitomo have also become the object of everyone's spit.

A farce of ups and downs and constant turns is unfolding in the United States, and Jiro Horita, the Sumitomo Foundation, and Warner, replacing Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick, have become the target of public opinion around the world.

Japan has always been known for its strong overseas capital, and before that, the reputation of Japanese overseas capital and chaebol in the world was also quite good, but after the secret shooting of "The Last Samurai" was exposed, the reputation of the entire Japanese capital has been greatly affected.

Sumitomo is naturally the first to bear the brunt, overnight, the people of the world are full of disgust with this consortium, and even some netizens with strong information channels soon counted the details of a Sumitomo consortium and the companies involved, for a while, a large number of well-known companies and brands have been exposed to Sumitomo There is an extraordinary capital relationship.

This was followed by a spontaneous boycott of these companies and brands by netizens, which had a huge negative impact on Sumitomo's reputation and day-to-day operations as a whole.

Sumitomo became the target of public criticism, so that Li Mu discovered a very interesting phenomenon: people all over the world are the same, they have an extraordinary dislike for evil companies, Sumitomo and its subsidiaries may not really deceive consumers at the product level, nor may they really involve falsehood and fraud, but it is because he secretly supports and promotes evil ideology, which makes people all over the world full of disgust with it.

This further strengthened Li Mu's consistent view that it is okay to be a business, but it is not possible to do evil.

Sumitomo suffered heavy losses, and Jiro Horita, who was the culprit, naturally did not have a good time.

The day after Edward Zwick exposed Jiro Horita, Sumitomo urgently recalled Jiro Horita to Japan, and announced internally that Jiro Horita would no longer be responsible for any business related to overseas markets from now on.

Subsequently, Sumitomo, who was in the whirlpool of public opinion, was forced to apologize globally, not only blaming all the blame on Jiro Horita's personal decision, but also solemnly declaring that Sumitomo will absolutely respect history, respect all countries and people who suffered in World War II, and promise that similar behavior will never happen again.

However, Sumitomo's apology has not changed their plight in the slightest, and they still have a long way to go if they want to truly address the negative impact of this incident......

All of Li Mu's goals this time have been achieved beyond expectations, not only hacking "The Last Samurai", but also hacking the spirit of bushido, and even all the responsible persons with him.

Not long after kneeling in "The Last Samurai", Anne Hathaway was finally discharged from the hospital.

So, Li Mu did not delay any longer, immediately arranged a business jet, and set off for Yanjing the day after Anne Hathaway was discharged from the hospital.

When departing from Shenzhen, there were a total of seven people on board the Gulfstream V business jet, namely Li Mu and his personal assistants Li Ziwei and Wang Yuenlong, as well as Spielberg and Anne Hathaway.

According to the previously scheduled route, the plane will fly to Yanjing first, pick up Weilan in Yanjing, and then fly to the United States.

After connecting Weilan, he began to sail more than 10,000 kilometers across the ocean.

Since Wei Lan's father successfully bought the bottom of eBay stock through the news revealed by Li Mu, Wei Lan's parents moved to sunny San Francisco, California, and bought a very good seaside villa in the affluent area of San Francisco.

San Francisco happens to be on the edge of Silicon Valley, so Weilan can just be on the same line with Li Mufei.

Li Mu's plan is to send Spielberg and Anne Hathaway to Los Angeles first, and then fly to San Francisco, when the time comes, Weilan can go directly to see her parents, and he will go to Silicon Valley to meet with Elon Musk to learn about the current epidemic prevention-related materials, and then under his arrangement, meet with the heads of 3M and Honeywell.

After a whole night of flying, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport in the early morning of Los Angeles local time, and the plane was still taxiing, Spielberg said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, remember to come to Los Angeles when you are busy, and the official launch of "Flying Tigers" is waiting for you to announce together." ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Before returning to Huaxia, I will definitely come to Los Angeles." ”

The project of "Flying Tigers" has not yet been officially announced, and Li Mu feels that since it is produced by a Hollywood team led by Spielberg, and Leonardo, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway are the first to finalize the Hollywood actors, then the official launch of this film is more suitable in Hollywood.

The most important thing is that moviegoers from all over the world are staring at Hollywood, which is the world center of the film and television industry, and "Flying Tigers" is officially launched here, and its influence can be maximized.

After bidding farewell to Spielberg and Anne Hathaway, Li Mu flew to San Francisco non-stop.

By the time the plane finally landed in San Francisco, Li Mu had been flying in the sky for more than 20 hours.

Wei Lan originally wanted to invite Li Mu to his home first, after all, his parents regarded Li Mu as a benefactor and noble person of the family, and they hoped to treat him well and do his best to be a landlord.

But Li Mu politely declined Wei Lan's invitation, because on the one hand, he didn't want to disturb Wei Lan's family reunion as soon as he came up, and on the other hand, he and Elon Musk had made an appointment that it would be more important to meet in Silicon Valley first.

So, Li Mu said to Wei Lan: "I won't disturb your family reunion this time, you talk to your uncle and aunt, and say that when I finish my business, I will definitely come to visit." ”

Saying that, Li Mu said again: "If there are no special circumstances, you should go back with me, right?"

Wei Lan nodded: "Your matter this time, can it be over in a week?"

Li Mu thought about it and said, "If you can't do it in a week, ten days is enough." ”

Wei Lan smiled: "That's okay, with you as a shield, then I'll calm down and wait for you to go back together." ”

Li Mu said: "That's the best, I'll go back to San Francisco before I finish it, go to your house to visit my uncle and aunt, and then let's go to Hollywood together, and we can return to China after finishing Hollywood." ”

“OK。 ”

……

Elon Musk, who has always been very enthusiastic about Li Mu, took the convoy to the airport to pick up the airport, and after Li Mu said goodbye to Weilan, he took Li Ziwei and three bodyguards and got into Elon Musk's car.

Li Mu and Elon Musk sat in an extended Lincoln, Elon Musk said to Li Mu as soon as he came up: "Mr. Li, what you told me, I have been advancing, I have had face-to-face communication with the heads of 3M and Honeywell, they are more interested in your model of replacing products with promotion resources, and are waiting to talk to you in detail, in addition, I have also communicated with them about the product, they have already given a statement, as long as they reach cooperation with you, they will definitely make every effort to meet your needs." ”

Li Mu nodded, hearing him say this, his heart became more steady, 3M and Honeywell are both world-class companies in this field, especially 3M, which can be said to be the world's top, as long as they can fully satisfy themselves, whether it is the quantity, quality or price of the goods, there should be a certain guarantee.

So, Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "When do they have time, and where can they meet them?"

Elon Musk said: "3M is in Minnesota, Honeywell is in New Jersey, one is in the far north, the other is in the easternmost, the distance is a little far, so I said when I helped you communicate with them before, you came to the United States in a very hasty time, let them come and talk to you as much as possible, they don't have any opinions, the person in charge of Honeywell heard that you are coming, and has flown to Silicon Valley in advance, if you have time, we can always make an appointment to meet him." ”

Saying that, Elon Musk said: "The person in charge of 3M can also come over at any time, if you want to meet him tomorrow, I can say hello to him now." ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said: "That's it, let's go today, I'll go to Makino Technology later, meet with the senior management of Makino Technology in North America, learn about our current internal operations, you help me make an appointment with the heads of the two companies, one will be tomorrow morning, and the other will be tomorrow afternoon, since Honeywell's people have come, then let's meet them tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
