Chapter 321: An Unexpected Meeting

……

"Tracy Murray, Somera Samako, when did the managers of the California Pension Fund and the Paul Investment Fund also start to be interested in movies?"

"It's not the movies that people look at, it's the financial genius!" said Howard Stringer.

“… The guy who hadn't moved for more than a year, and now he suddenly came to Los Angeles, and many people speculated that he saw some opportunity to make huge profits! So, except for the top financial institutions that have their own channels. The heads of most small and medium-sized financial institutions in Los Angeles and even California are here today. ”

"No wonder there are so many people here today, it turns out that most of them are not here for you Sony!" William Schiffer laughed.

Howard Stringer didn't care about his friend's ridicule.

"In the two and a half years since its establishment, the Thunder Fund has achieved an average annual revenue of nearly $24 billion, with a return on investment of 179%. If it were me, I wouldn't let go of such an opportunity!"

William Schiffer nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a young man in a black suit hurriedly walked over.

"BOSS, Mr. Guo has arrived!"

Howard Stringer's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "William, I'm going to be out of company first!"

"I understand! Today you are the main character!"

Howard nodded, then quickly turned and left. Looking at his back, he also understood the reason for the matter, and after a little groaning, he raised his heel and went up.

Howard Stringer, who came in a hurry, hurriedly stretched out his right hand after seeing the young man who walked in surrounded by the crowd, wearing a dark blue suit and white shirt, with white sideburns and a steady temperament.

"Mr. Guo, welcome!"

"Hello, Mr. Stringer!"

After briefly looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Guo Shouyun smiled and shook the other party's right hand.

"It is a great honor for Mr. Guo to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the celebration of our Sony Pictures "The Da Vinci Code"!"

"Mr. Stringer is polite. The Da Vinci Code is my work. Now that it's on the screen, it's also my honor to be loved by the majority of fans. And for that, I would also like to thank Mr. Stringer and Sony. ”

""The Da Vinci Code" has such a high box office, and Mr. Guo is very good in his own right. With such a good work, coupled with the cooperation of our excellent writers, directors, producers and distribution departments at Sony Pictures, we are able to deliver a wonderful film to fans all over the world. So, Mr. Guo. We at Sony Pictures are looking forward to working with you again to bring even better movies to fans around the world!" said Howard Stringer.

"Sony Pictures' film production and distribution capabilities are really good, but I think our Time Warner is the best!"

Before Guo Shouyun could speak, a familiar voice next to him interjected.

"Mr. Guo, it's been a long time!"

Ted Turner hurriedly reached out. It's not like more than two years ago, when Matrix Pictures and Time Warner just cooperated. At that time, Time Warner, which had just merged with AOL, had a market capitalization of more than $200 billion and was known as the world's largest media company. Correspondingly, the assets of Matrix Pictures are less than 100 million. Guo Shouyun's personal assets are only a fraction of Time Warner's market value.

But now, the positions of the two sides are completely reversed. Time Warner has been dragged down by AOL, and its market value has fallen to less than $50 billion now. The corresponding matrix company, because of the "Harry Potter", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Fifty Shades of Grey" and other more than a dozen films, the value of assets soared, and now has the level of four or five times that of Time Warner, and has more potential.

As for Guo Shouyun as the boss, let alone that. According to a McKinsey report, the asset value of Guo Shouyun's seven major companies, including Matrix, Apple, Google, Ruby, Phoenix, Guo's and Enron Pacific, is conservatively estimated to be more than $75 billion. Even after deducting the debt, it is close to $40 billion! If you count the stocks of companies such as Amazon, eBay, Merrill Lynch, etc., the figure is even higher.

In just over two years, the positions of the two sides have been completely reversed. Even, in order to stabilize the market value of Time Warner, he has to compromise to win a large vote in Guo Shouyun's hand, and the popular film and television adaptation rights that have proven their value, especially the "Harry Potter" series.

"Long time gone, Mr. Turner!"

Guo Shouyun held the other party's right hand.

Hearing the rebuttal, Howard Stringer wanted to fight back, but the giants of Universal, MGM, Disney, and 20th Century Fox came to say hello, so he had to stop. Because he has so many enemies, he can't target everyone.

As more and more people gathered around him, Guo Shouyun became the focus of the entire banquet.

"I didn't expect him to be so popular, and Hollywood film and television giants have all surrounded him!" said the woman in a red evening dress with a hint of elegance in her temperament.

"Audrey, what, you want to know this tycoon too?"

Diane Kruger teased her female companion.

"Of course. Handsome, dashing, talented and rich, and young. It's the perfect match for a boyfriend and a husband!" Audrey Tatu turned, "Diane, don't you want to know him?"

"Absolutely. But as you can see, we didn't even get a chance to say hello!"

"There will always be an opportunity, the key is how to seize it!"

Kate Winslet apparently also has thoughts about Wealthy Kwok.

However, just as they were teasing each other, they didn't notice that the female companion who was originally sitting next to them had already gotten up and took the initiative to walk towards Guo Shouyun in the crowd.

"Nicole...?"

"Nicole went straight over!"

"Oh my God, she's so bold!"

……

"Hello, Mr. Guo. I'm Tracy Murray, the manager of the California Pension Fund. ”

"Hello!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "I didn't expect Sony Pictures' celebration party to be attended by people from the financial world!"

"The California Pension Fund is also one of the shareholders of Sony, although it has not entered the board of directors, but we have to congratulate us on things like the celebration party!"

"Really, Paul Investment Fund is also a shareholder in Sony?"

Somara Samako, CEO of Paul Investment Fund, who was standing on the side, smiled slightly, "No. This time, I heard that Mr. Guo was coming, so I specially asked Mr. Stringer for two qualifications to participate in this banquet. ”

"Oh, that's my pleasure!"

"Mr. Guo is polite. It's just that I personally have a few questions that I would like to consult Mr. Guo, and I hope that Mr. Guo can give advice!"

"Okay! ”

Guo Shouyun nodded indifferently.

"Mr. Guo, now that gold has been hovering around $270, do you think there will be a big rally before the end of the year?"

"I'll tell you I'm bullish on the future of gold, but I won't tell you when it comes to the exact time. Because, I don't have absolute certainty myself. ”

Somera Sama's light flashed, "Thank you very much for your answer. Is there anything else you can do in Los Angeles other than to attend Sony's celebration? If so, we at Paul Investment Fund are more than willing to help. ”

"We, the California Pension Fund, are willing!"

"And our Sost Fund!" ......

Six or seven Foundation managers spoke one after another, as if they were afraid that they would lose their benefits if they were left behind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have come to Los Angeles for no special purpose other than to participate in Sony's celebrations. So I appreciate your kindness!"

Guo Shouyun knew very well what these people were thinking. However, don't say that he really didn't have any special purpose for coming this time, and even if he did, he wouldn't say it in public here.

"Mr. Guo...!"

"Mr. Guo, can I delay you for a few minutes?"

A seductive voice burst in from the periphery. This is different from the man's hoarse and thick voice, as well as a bit of familiarity, which made Guo Shouyun subconsciously turn his gaze.

"It's her!"

Seeing the other party's familiar delicateness, Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted and nodded at the same time.

"Of course. ”

After noticing the crowd surrounding him, Guo Shouyun smiled.

"Guys, I've been talking to you for so long. Now it's time for me to talk to Miss Nicole. After all, she's one of my favorite actors, and she's very beautiful!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun made a look on his face that all men understand.

"It's okay, then we won't bother Mr. Guo!"

"I wish Mr. Guo and Miss Nicole a nice chat!" ......

These media giants and financial tycoons are accustomed to seeing the romance between Hollywood actresses and the super-rich. So most of them laughed and left.

"Miss Nicole, please!"

Nicole Kidman nodded, followed Guo Shouyun to an empty table next to him and sat down.

Although she could feel the intense envy and jealousy in the eyes around her, Nicole Kidman didn't take it to heart. She came this time with her own special purpose.

After Guo Shouyun sat down, he was just about to say something, when he saw the other party open his kun bag and took out a few pieces of paper and six or seven photos from it. Then I watched as Nicole Kidman unfolded the papers and photographs and placed them in front of her.

"These are...?"

"On paper, these are the drawings of my children, and I took pictures of them!"

As the words fell, looking at the man who was looking at these graffiti and photos, Nicole Kidman's face showed a touch of complexity.

"Congratulations, you have three very lovely children. ”

"Thank you!"

"What's their name!"

Looking at the three children in the photo who were held in Nicole Kidman's arms, Guo Shouyun asked subconsciously.

"This one is Kane, this one is William, and this one is Alice. Two boys, one girl! they're triplets!"

Speaking of this, Nicole Kidman's face showed the tenderness peculiar to motherhood.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you... Can you write some words of encouragement to them on the north side of these paintings and photos? They like you very much!"

"Like me?" Guo Shouyun said in surprise. He is not a movie star, nor is he a political celebrity, and he is not usually in the limelight. How could these three little milk babies who were obviously only three years old like themselves?

However, seeing the request in Nicole Kidman's eyes, and then looking at the three little milk babies in the photo that made him feel inexplicably liked, Guo Shouyun nodded inexplicably.

"What should I write?"

"Just write something like 'I hope they grow up healthy, I hope they study hard in the future and become an excellent person', and something like that!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, took the pen handed over by Nicole, and wrote behind these drawings and photos.

"That's it!"

"Can you write it again in Chinese?"

"Chinese?"

"Yes!"

Nicole Kidman nodded affirmatively.

"Okay!"

This time, Guo Shouyun did not refuse.

After a while, Guo Shouyun buckled the pen, "Is this okay?"

"That's it, thank you!"

Nicole Kidman nodded happily, picked up each painting and photograph and looked at it, then carefully folded it and put it back together.

Soon, Nicole Kidman, who had sorted out Kun's bag, stood up.

"You...!"

"Mr. Guo, thank you very much, I have taken my leave!"

After the words fell, he took a deep look at the handsome and calm man in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint him in his heart.

And her expression made Guo Shouyun even more surprised. But before he could ask, he saw the other party quickly turn around and walk towards the exit of the banquet hall, and his slender and plump back disappeared into the corner of the door.

"Shh

Guo Shouyun let out a sigh and slowly shook his head. This meeting with Nicole Kidman was completely devoid of the tenderness and sweetness he imagined, and he was only confused!
