Chapter 408: Running Man

Scott Swift's communication with Apple's board of directors went very well.

The board of directors has approved the possibility for Down Capital to increase its holdings of Apple shares from the secondary market by up to 30 million shares over the next six months.

This is normal.

Generally speaking, major shareholders will encounter persuasion and obstruction from the board of directors when they reduce their holdings. This kind of thing is to increase the holdings, as long as it does not become a holding company by more than 50% and does not shake the power structure of the board of directors.

Increasing holdings means an increase in the share price, which is certainly in the interest of shareholders and the board of directors.

What's more, Tang En has never asked for the addition of independent directors and the placement of Tang people, which is such a good thing that cannot be sought.

If Don Capital completes its 30 million shares, its stake in Apple will exceed 16.5%. There is no doubt that this will be an unrivaled wealth in the future.

But Donn wasn't overjoyed by the good news.

Because, today is September 11th!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Don came to the office on time, a little silent.

If nothing else, the shocking news will come soon.

The plane to Los Angeles, which took off from Boston at 8 a.m., was hijacked 15 minutes later, another 15 minutes later, the plane completely lost control, and another 15 minutes later, the plane appeared over Manhattan and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Tragedy is about to strike, and Don is in the office, a little restless.

Little secretary Ella Fisher thought he was worried about the movie "Chicago", and said with a smile: "It's useless for Kirk Douglas to obstruct it, Ms. Zeta Jones has signed a contract, and the movie will start next week." ”

Don smiled, "By the way, Gone Girl...... How much does it cost?"

"Half of one person, all transferred to your account. Ella Fisher blinked.

Tang En said: "I never touch my personal account, and all expenses go to Tang Capital, which is a trust fund. ”

Ella Fisher pursed her lips and said, "You know, you rich people all have trust funds. The manuscript fee has exceeded 21 million US dollars, half of each of us!"

"So much?"

Done's eyes widened.

Ella Fisher said proudly: "Yes, this one has sold 2.8 million copies in North America, which is on the same level as the "Harry Potter" series. In addition, it is being published overseas one after another, and sales in the UK are also good!"

Tang En looked at her with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a little rich woman, you won't be like Reese, quit your job, right?"

"Reese has a position at Rose Pictures, what do I have? It's up to you to write this book, I'm quitting, what can I do?" said Ella Fisher with a playful smile.

Don nodded, "This kind of bestseller is very time-sensitive. In that case, you should contact Rose Pictures now, and get Katherine Kennedy, and Reese, ready to prepare for this project. ”

"Gone Girl?"

"Of course. ”

"Wow!" Ella Fisher jumped excitedly, "my book is going to be made into a movie!"

Donn shook his head and smiled.

"Gone Girl" is of course a bestseller, but the biggest reason the book has sold nearly 3 million copies in North America is because it has the name "Donn Walker" in the byline column.

This kind of crime and suspense book usually has a small audience, and it is not on the same level as "Harry Potter".

Or take advantage of this momentum to make a movie.

Let the film and each other touch, and have fun.

Ella Fisher happily went to work, and Donn looked at the time — 8:23.

Even if he was far away in Los Angeles, Don was a little flustered.

In his previous life, he lived on the mainland, and his impression of "911" was ...... Rather offbeat, understated, even cynical, unaware of the horror of this affair and the tension it has brought to the world.

It wasn't until I lived in the U.S. for a few years that I had a deep understanding.

Compare Pearl Harbor to Pearl Harbor, and everything is clear.

The death toll of the "911 incident" is more than that of the "Pearl Harbor" incident!

The economic loss is even more, Manhattan is an international financial center, and all major countries in the world have been seriously injured by this incident, with economic losses of more than 1 trillion US dollars!

Don has mixed feelings about this matter, he wants to die less and make more money......

At this time, Ella Fisher came back, blinked her big eyes, and said with a smile: "Boss, there is a guest!"

If you don't make an appointment, you can come directly and explain that you must be a good friend or an important person.

Sure enough, the next thing I saw was a face that was underbeaten - Leonardo Ricaprio.

"Done in the late stages of the movie?"

Knowing what was going on with him, Donn went on vacation to New Zealand and returned to Los Angeles for the post-dubbing of "New York Vice".

"Isn't that easy?"

Leonardo rolled his eyes and snorted, to put it mildly. He is too familiar with Don En, he is a standard sworn friend, sitting or not sitting, crossing Erlang's legs, swaying like a street gangster.

Don didn't care, and personally poured him a cup of coffee, "Come to me, what's the matter?"

Leonardo smiled, "Yesterday, I went to Steven's crew and saw Natalie, she was cleaned up badly, like a monster ......"

"Leonardo!"

Don gritted his teeth and glared at him.

"Well, don't talk about her. Steven was going to have a new project, and I went over and talked to him for a while......"

"Wait!" Donn interrupted him again, frowning, "Spielberg's new project?

"Of course not. Leonardo shrugged, "Maybe DreamWorks is doing too poorly and is in a hurry to make money from his films." ”

Don then remembered that in the two years from 2000 to 2002, Steven Spielberg was called "Running Man" by Hollywood, because he took less than 18 months to shoot three movies!

"Artificial Intelligence", "Minority Report" and "Impunity"!

This also explains why he would rather risk offending Don and increase the price of the North American rights to "Band of Brothers".

If you don't make money, DreamWorks won't be able to survive!

"New Project...... It's not going to be with Tom Hanks, is it?"

"Hey, he told you, yes, it's already said, let's go back and prepare, I'm number one, and Hanks is the number two, hehe!" Leonardo looked proud, and Erlang's legs kept shaking.

"You're here just to show me this? Also, Daniel Lewis just played with you, and Tom Hanks is going to be a green leaf for you again, you're very proud!"

Leonardo looked happy, "So, in order to encourage myself to continue to work hard, I decided to have a big party at home, invite more girls, and you will come too? ”

"Colin Farrell?"

"Yes!"

Don pouted.

Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, one cynical, the other prodigal, really smells the same.

Tang En just had a big party at home two days ago, and he was in the stage of recuperating his energy, so he refused without thinking about it, and said: "Don't mess around! Farrell is still filming, his career has just started, don't take people into the ditch!"

"It's okay, he agreed. ”

"Nonsense, he's a famous bad boy!" Don waved his hand and said categorically: "Don't do this thing, don't delay his career! Also, since you are in love with Giselle, you have to concentrate!"

Leonardo looked at Don in shock, "You're qualified to speak of me?"

Tang En couldn't help but blush, "Why ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Ella Fisher hurriedly ran in and said quickly, "Donn, something happened, the World Trade Center was hit!"

Don was stunned and shouted, "Let's go, go watch TV!"

Leonardo said for a long time: "It's lively now, the airline makes this kind of mistake, and the insurance company can't afford to pay for it!"

Don pouted.

Does this guy think it's an airline error?

There was no television in Donn's office, and the trio went to Bill McNick's office, only to find him staring at a CNN news report.

This is the first scene of the scene, in the middle of the north tower in the twin towers of the World Trade Center, it was smashed into a sea of fire, and black smoke billowed out.

It was a chaotic scene, and the sound was noisy.

"It's so serious, how could such a big accident happen? The mayor of New York is going to take the blame and resign!" said Bill McNick, whose face was annoyed, apparently believing that it was an accidental mistake.

Seeing this cruel picture, Leonardo put away his cynical appearance and gasped, "This...... How so?"

Tang En stood quietly in front of the TV, staring at the TV screen, almost forgetting to breathe.

911, here! ()
