With a team of more than a dozen people, Donn went on a trip to Silicon Valley.

Specifically ask Apple for the true scriptures of Apple's retail store business model.

Truth be told, the New Globe Group, including Barry Diller, Andrew Mooney, Brandi Norris, Fernando Bardem and many other executives, did not believe that building a directly operated chain was the right development strategy.

Disney stores are tightening the market.

Is it necessary for New Globe Group to develop a chain store business?

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, why bother to go to the tiger mountains?

Donn's attitude is very resolute, he said that the model of the Disney store is too backward, and the model of the Apple retail store is the development direction of the direct store in the future!

Even if there was a lot of opposition, Tang En also tried his best to make a decision.

Today, I took the team to Apple's headquarters for inspection.

"You're going to Pixar in a minute?"

Jasmine Bloom became Donn's new son-in-law, accompanying Tosca Musk as an assistant while he remained at headquarters.

To be honest, this feeling, it was good and pleasantly surprised.

She knew that with her current ability, she would not be able to bring any help to New Universal in terms of work, that is, to help Don collect all kinds of beautiful women. However, she can learn, and accompanying Don to various activities is a process of seeing the scene, accumulating contacts and learning.

Don nodded and said, "Well, Pixar's cartoon "The Incredibles" has completed the post-production, and it will be tested internally, so I'll go and see it." In addition, "Kung Fu Panda" is also halfway through, I'll go and see the progress. ”

Pixar has such a huge background resource as New Universal, and the output can be increased, and an animated film will be released every year. This year, it's "The Incredibles", and next year it's "Kung Fu Panda".

"What about at night?"

There were a lot of people on the plane, and Jasmine Bloom lowered her voice, looking sneaky.

"Huh?" Don raised his eyebrows and looked at her with some surprise, "Do you have an arrangement?"

Jasmine Bloom showed a little smugness on her face, and her chin raised slightly, "I'm all connected!"

Don En smiled and said, "Isn't it like last time?"

Three days ago, Jasmine Bloom made a big joke about Donn's first arrangement of a woman.

She arranged it to be Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway now lives in Villa 3, and Donn spends the night in Villa 2, 3, 4, and 5 every night in Los Angeles.

Does this kind of relationship still need Jasmine Bloom to make painstaking arrangements? If Don wants to, just go to Villa 3 to find her.

Jasmine Bloom said with a little embarrassment: "I didn't know the situation before, who knew that you were out there and raised so many women? ”

"Really?

"You know, she's also acted in a movie you directed. ”

Tang En was a little interested, shook his head and said, "How is it possible? I have made movies, beautiful actresses...... I've basically been in a relationship, so you're not going to find me an ugly bastard, are you?"

Jasmine Bloom snorted, "No way! She was only 13 years old when she made your movie, and you dare to touch her?"

"Huh?" Donn blinked, pondering for a moment, "British actor?"

"You guessed it?"

"Keira Knightley?"

Jasmine Bloom was surprised, "You know that?"

Don smiled slightly.

Back then, he filmed "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace", and Keira Knightley played Queen Amidala's stand-in.

She looks a lot like Natalie.

Such a famous actress has also made his movies, of course he will pay special attention.

Don smiled: "This is a surprise. ”

"You agree?"

"She agreed?"

Jasmine Bloom smiled, "Of course, she said that she hasn't had much contact with you since she worked with you once, and she wants to reminisce about the good times of her childhood with you." ”

"Why does this sound so awkward?" Tang En grabbed his hair and waved his hand, "Forget it, since you're all connected, let's arrange for her to come." In the evening, I'm going to have dinner with Steve Jobs and take her with me. ”

……

Because there were no flights, Keira Knightley would drive four hours from Los Angeles to San Francisco, not making it to Donn's dinner. Arranged by Jasmine Bloom directly to go to the hotel.

In this way, Don can talk to Jobs about some confidential things.

"How's your illness?"

Donn's face was naturally worried.

In October last year, Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

With the advent of music phones, Apple's iPod sales plummeted, causing Apple's stock price to shrink again. Apple's current market value is just over $5 billion.

For this reason, Jobs did not dare to let Apple mess up again, he avoided surgery, conservative treatment, and did not disclose the illness to shareholders, so as not to cause a shock in the stock price.

"Very well, do you think I'm different from before?" Jobs looked relaxed.

Don shook his head and sighed, "Steve, you should understand that career is important, ideals are important, but life is more important. You shouldn't joke about it. ”

Jobs smiled: "I know. ”

Don frowned and said, "No, you don't know! Steve, I'm leading a team here today to learn the business philosophy of Apple retail stores, but secondly." In my opinion, your body is more important than that!"

Jobs waved his hand, "You're too worried, I'm actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment." ”

"You should have surgery!" said Donn, in a deep voice.

Jobs paused for a moment and said slowly, "Now is not the time. ”

"And when are you going to wait?"

Don was a little angry.

Jobs said: "iPod sales are declining, which has had a big impact on Apple's stock price, and you are Apple's largest shareholder, you should understand." However, the turnaround was not long in coming. The music phone we have collaborated with Motorola is about to hit the market. As long as this phone is launched, it can pull up Apple's stock price, and when the time comes, I will have another month or two to rest and operate, and it will be appropriate. ”

Don laughed angrily, "Motorola?

Jobs was stunned, "What's the matter? Motorola's mobile phone is more beautiful than Nokia, isn't it? Isn't the mobile phone you use Motorola?"

Don was a little speechless, speechless, and let out a long sigh.

Instead, Jobs, a cancer patient, comforted Donne, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will be able to get a customized mobile phone in about June, and there will definitely be surprises when the time comes." A music phone equipped with an iPod is definitely a hundred times stronger than other music phones! The market will be a sensation. ”

"Surprise, sensation?" Don curled the corners of his mouth, a little mocking, "yes, I hope so." ”

For the stubborn Jobs, there really can't be helped.

If it was Hollywood, Donn would have done it anyway.

In Hollywood, there are not many celebrities who have changed their fate and had a better life because of him.

But this is Silicon Valley, not his territory.

Don wants to help, but sometimes, it's not just about helping that you can change.

Like Steve Jobs.

Creation makes people.

……

When I got back to the hotel, I saw Jasmine Bloom and Keira Knightley, smiling and talking.

Seeing Donn return, Jasmine Bloom cleverly found a reason and got up to leave.

Gave up the whole suite to them.

"Long time no see!"

Keira Knightley pursed her lips and sat on the couch, glancing at Don as she entered the door with big eyes that seemed to be smiling, meaningful.

Tang En smiled, "I really didn't expect you to grow into a big girl!"

As he spoke, he spread his arms.

Keira Knightley didn't take a damn either, and got up and hugged him gently.

"Is Jasmine your secretary?"

"Huh? ”

"Oh. Keira Knightley nodded, tilting her head to look at him strangely, "You should be able to find my contact information, right? When she first contacted me, I was shocked and thought she was a liar. ”

Don En laughed a few times.

How to explain it?

You can't say that Jasmine Bloom is a living assistant who specializes in helping him arrange women's lives, right?

"I'm mainly afraid that you will refuse, it's embarrassing. ”

"Poof!"

Keira Knightley smiled and bent over, her delicate face was mixed with a bit of youthful breath and a little charming, and she smiled and said, "How could I refuse you?" Uncle Walker?"

"Haha!"

Donn laughed again.

Back then, when filming "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace", Keira Knightley was only 13 years old, a rookie little girl, and she admired and respected the famous director Done Walker very much.

Often follows Donn's ass and calls "Uncle Walker".

I didn't expect to hear such a title again after five or six years, which is really interesting.

Keira Knightley's face was slightly red by Donn's smile, pursed her lips, and reflexively sat back on the couch, her arms folded over her chest, and her watery eyes looking at him. Plenty of fun.

She really looks like Natalie Portman.

Don coughed lightly, he didn't want to use Keira Knightley as a replacement for Natalie, it would be a lot less fun.

"I really didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you will grow into a big girl. ”

"Yes, it's also the age of dating, going to bed, and X love. ”

"Ahem......"

Don was startled by her violence.

She looks quite similar to Natalie, and her style is really different.

"Uncle Walker?"

"Huh?"

Keira Knightley pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you really say yes? Or I'll keep calling you Uncle Walker from now on?"

Don En hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't don't, let's call me Don En instead." Woody Allen's matter is so big, we have to take it easy, the relationship is simple, don't be too messy. ”

Keira Knightley blinked and playfully asked, "A simple relationship?"

"Huh, you little girl, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you sharp?" Tang En glared at her with wide eyes, of course he wouldn't be pinched by a 19-year-old girl, and snorted, "What kind of relationship do you say?

"Huh?"

This time, it was Keira Knightley's turn to sit on wax.

"Come here!"

"What for?"

"Take a bath with me!" (https:)
