After explaining the development task of the new product, the four international students of the R&D team were sent to Hawaii by Gu Biao for their honeymoon and hard work in oral English.

Gu Biao's request is that even if they are in bed on the honeymoon night and speak those private words between the curtains, they must also speak English roots such as FACK and SEX, so as to ensure that they can integrate into American speaking and thinking habits as soon as possible.

Of course, it's hard to say whether this group of animals will strictly enforce their love, and Gu Biao can't monitor it, so he can only count on them to consciously remind each other.

Gu Biao himself originally took leave to go back to Qiantang on the weekend to do business, so on the evening of the business talk, he took a plane back to the capital.

In the two months since joining the company, Gu Biao has already taken two personal leave, which is a bit inauthentic.

It's just that this time it's summer vacation, so Xiao Sui can follow her husband and wife to the capital.

In addition, Ma Feng, who is a horse boy, also flew to the capital with his girlfriend Wen Ying, so that he could spare time to help Gu Biao take care of some business and reduce Gu Biao's burden.

Since Wen Ying is Ma Feng's classmate and a normal student, the unit assigned now is to teach English in a junior college, which is lower than Ma Feng's undergraduate teaching English, but it is also relaxed, and there is no pressure to improve his academic qualifications while teaching.

This group of people are all people who can be wasted during the summer vacation and will not be bound by work.

Gu Biao rested on the plane for a while, and Xiao Sui leaned on him quietly, very tacitly not to disturb him. It wasn't until Gu Biao woke up from the bump that he found that he was about to land.

Because he didn't have enough time to squint for a while, he simply chatted with Ma Feng on the other side of the aisle.

As soon as he remembered that Yang was proud of their marriage yesterday, Gu Biao teased: "Fengzi, when will you and Xiaoying do something, you two are serious about graduating and working, and the law allows you to get married." It's not like me, I have to wait for Suizi to graduate in two years. ”

Ma Feng scratched his head: "Brother Gu, you are sleepy, it is not a problem for me and Ying'er to study, it is because the legal age of marriage has not yet arrived, I am only 18 years old, how to get married." ”

Gu Biao came back to his senses and found that he was indeed asleep.

The marriage law, which was just amended last year, reaffirms that a man can only be 22 years old before he can be proven.

blamed himself for opening up with Ma Feng, and used his identity as an educated youth to take the college entrance examination a few years in advance.

If you graduate from work at a normal study speed, you will definitely be able to get married when you step into the job.

Xiao Sui, who was sitting next to Gu Biao, also smiled when he heard this, and whispered in Gu Ao's ear: "Do you want to be responsible for others so much? It's you, 22 years old, you have to wait three and a half years, in the final analysis, it's you who delayed. ”

Gu Biao wanted to say something, but in the end he wanted to say something.

was noticed by the sensitive Xiao Sui.

Xiao Sui whispered softly: "Are you afraid that I will be too careful, and want to give me reassurance? Could it be that you have met some woman in the United States, and you yourself have no confidence in your original intention?"

Gu Biao hesitated again and again, and confessed: "No, I do want to reassure you, but I am not the kind of person who changes his mind casually." Even if the situation in the United States is compelled, at most it is a play on the spot, not sincerely. ”

This is the first time he has had the opportunity to say these things face-to-face with Xiao Sui after returning to China. The other night, at best, there was only an opportunity to communicate physically, but there was no time to talk.

"It's good that you have a clear conscience, you don't need to prove anything in form, what I care about is your heart. Xiao Sui said, and couldn't help but gently kiss Gu Fu's earlobe from the side.

Gu Biao instinctively tightened Xiao Sui's waist.

Fortunately, they were very soft, and they sat in first class, so they didn't have to worry about spilling dog food to others.

"Good, love you. I've calculated the schedule, and when I graduate from my Ph.D., it should be January '84. I was 22 years old at the time. When I come back from the United States next time, I will marry you. ”

Chatting about private love, the plane has landed.

Gu Biao took a taxi, and the group of four went straight to the city.

Gu Biao went directly to the dormitory assigned to him by the Foreign Investment Commission, and instructed Ma Feng to find a guest house to live in, and did not go to the high-end Friendship Hotel again.

After all, this time I didn't come to travel, but to live in the office and take care of business during the summer vacation. Convenience is the most important, not so much exquisite.

Ma Feng is also sensible, as soon as he stayed, he first helped Gu Biao collect a bunch of transoceanic mail, all of which were sent from the United States, as well as faxes, and then sorted and read them one by one to understand what new progress there was, and then report and discuss with Gu Biao after sorting it out.

Since Gu Biao devoted himself to the work of the Foreign Investment Commission, he has less and less leisure time to deal with business, and difficulties are inevitable.

……

It was the first time for Xiao Sui to go to Gu Biao's dormitory in the capital, although it had been eight months since Gu Biao was assigned to this dormitory for the first time.

Who let Gu Biao study abroad for a semester in the middle?

Because it is a house divided by the foreign investment commission, the conditions are definitely far worse than the villas and mansions in Qiantang today.

But Xiao Sui felt very warm, such a one-bedroom living room with kitchen and bathroom, with nearly 40 square meters, is very good.

"Well, it's not girly, but it's quite elegant. Xiao Sui spread it on the sofa and admired it with a literary eye.

Only then did Gu Biao remember that there were some things that he had been diluting and blurring.

But it's better to admit it.

He wiped his hands, sat down beside Xiao Sui, and took her into his arms: "Suizi, there are some things I may not have told you...... This wallpaper was actually made by Mina. She also helped me decorate my dormitory. ”

Xiao Sui's heart twitched slightly, but as if he had expected it, he poured his head weakly into Gu Fu's arms: "I know, but I don't know yet, when did you start." ”

"On the eve of my departure, Mina said that she didn't want anything, and she would be dead set on me in this life. I don't want to lie to you, I'm sincere with you...... But I'm also sincere with her. I don't ask you to understand this harsh reality. ”

Gu Biao was very domineering.

"You and she both have something that I want to protect with my life, and we both have a kind of beauty to linger. She saved me, she was willing to do anything for me, and I wanted to take care of her from the bottom of my heart. I am not in a position to ask for more, I just hope that none of you will leave me. ”

Xiao Sui stroked his sideburns and declared: "I'm not so fragile, I said that I would be with you for the rest of my life, record your life, and sing the praise." You can't kick me away. ”

"Don't say that, it's like I like the new and hate the old. Gu Biao was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Sui said magnificently: "When things come, we have to face them, in fact, she also called me a while ago to take care of me, and I said it vaguely, I can guess - it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, call her over for dinner, so it can be regarded as a talk." In the future, as long as you don't deliberately create embarrassment and humiliate the two of us, I'll let you see what it means to ......"

Gu Biao thought about it and obediently dialed the phone number in Mina's dormitory.

"Brother?" Mina picked up the microphone and listened to the other side for two or three seconds without sound, and took the initiative to ask rhetorically.

Nowadays, there is no caller ID.

Mina's initiative alleviated Gu Ao's embarrassment of not knowing how to speak: "It's me, I'm back to the capital after running errands with Suizi, and she's also on summer vacation, so come over and have a meal together tonight." ”

"Good duck, come right away. Mina hung up the phone without any fuss.

"I went grocery shopping and made a few stir-fries myself. It's hot and I want two beers. Xiao Sui didn't want to lose momentum, took the basket, money, and tickets, and pedaled downstairs.

"There was ice in the fridge. When Gu Biao reacted, Xiao Sui had already arrived downstairs.

"It's okay, then drink it from the refrigerator and re-ice the one you bought. Xiao Sui shouted without looking back.

Gu Biao felt empty in his heart, so he went back to the house and sat on the chair by himself, looking at the mail and reports sent by the United States.

When he was in a nervous mood, it was suitable to watch things that didn't cost much brain, so he rummaged through them and picked out a box office account for "The Terminator".

At the snap of a finger, it has been seven weeks since the release of "The Terminator" in the United States.

Primary and secondary schools in the United States began their summer vacation in June, and this kind of hot theme just caused a family-wide movie-watching boom, so the third and fourth weeks after the release maintained a rapid momentum in the second week, with a weekly box office of nearly 10 million US dollars. It was not until the fifth week that there was a noticeable decline.

So far, the North American box office has reported $35 million in the first month and a total of $54 million in seven weeks. The follow-up boom is estimated to last until the beginning of the school season in September, but it should not exceed 3 million per week, and it will become less and less, and eventually the North American market will rush to more than 60 million, and it should not reach the 70 million mark.

Harvey Weinstein also reported the overseas distribution in the email, saying that only three weeks after the release in North America, he had negotiated the distribution of the five countries of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. However, because it is necessary to leave profit margins for foreign secondary distributors, it is impossible for Gu Biao to get the money as quickly as the 50% producers who negotiated in the United States, and can only get 30%.

For the rest of the markets of small European countries, as well as Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, Latin America, and Oceania in Asia, Harvey asked the distributor to sell out at one time according to the results of the first month in North America. According to the contract, Harvey can get 25% of the money from the sale, and the remaining 75% will go to Gu Wei, so Harvey is still very motivated to sell it for a high price.

"The box office of the producers in North America is 27 million US dollars, the box office of the first month in five European countries is 21 million US dollars, the producers are 6.3 million US dollars, and the other regions have sold 25 countries and three Latin American packages so far...... The direct copyright sales are 25 million, and the producer shares 19 million ......"

It is unlikely that the income from the sale will increase, and the North American share will increase by 20% in the future, and Europe will probably double it.

Gu Biao did the math and assessed that "Terminator" could eventually bring him a net income of $65 million.

Of course, if Gu Biao doesn't hurry up this year to find some other entertainment and cultural industry projects in the United States, he will face high profits and taxes. This is really not a good thing for people who made a lot of money in the first film.

(Related industries in the United States are allowed to deduct losses, because there are profits and losses in making movies, and the money lost when losing can be deducted from the tax payable when making profits.) But for those who made money in the first part and haven't lost money, it's more difficult to avoid taxes, and you have to pretend that the money you earn is invested in new projects. I won't go into details)

Gu Biao watched very attentively, and he didn't notice that Xiao Sui came back from buying vegetables and began to work in the kitchen.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mina came.

"Brother, Sister Sui......" Because it was the summer vacation in July, Mina was dressed very coolly, wearing a short skirt, in order to divert the embarrassment, she hurriedly took the initiative to care, "Brother, what are you looking at? Don't help Sister Suizi cook, wait for me to wash my hands, I'll help." ”

Gu Biao didn't come back to his state at all, rubbed his head and said officially: "It's hard work, I look at the bill given to me by the publisher." I accidentally invested in a project of 8 million yuan, and came back with 60 million, thinking about what kind of moth project to disguise and avoid taxes. ”
