In 1977, the Gippson Ship Brokerage Company ranked out of the world's top ten ship kings, and the charter ship king and Dong ship king ranked first and seventh respectively!

As a veteran ship king, Dong Chuanwang is naturally unwilling to live behind the rising star charter king, so he began his long road of chasing the charter king, Dong Chuanwang wants to be not only an independent ship king, but also the world's largest shipowner!

Today, Dong Chuanwang's long-cherished wish is finally coming true, and the Charter is about to hold a launching ceremony, and Dong Chuanwang will be the world's largest shipowner at that time!

Inside the Dong family's villa!

Dong Gongzi accompanied Dong Chuanwang's side, looking at his father's excited expression, although he was a little worried about the company's current debts, but out of his admiration for his father and optimism about the future of the shipping industry, Dong Gongzi thought that these debts could be handled!

However, Dong Chuanwang's age is old after all, Dong Gongzi remembered Rong Le's instructions, and persuaded on the side: "Father, now the matter of the 'Charter' launching ceremony is almost ready, you should rest early!"

"Haha, Ah Hua, don't worry, Prince Rainier of Monaco will be in Xiangjiang tomorrow, how are we doing to greet him?" Dong Chuanwang's mental state seems to be very good, he doesn't think he is old, he feels that his spirit is like when he was in his fifties, and he is very energetic!

Dong Gongzi didn't say anything anymore when he saw this, his father has been pursuing his own road to the world ship king, and now that it is about to be completed, it is better to make his father happy first!

"The work has been arranged, father, you can rest assured, I have already arranged tomorrow's welcome dinner, Mr. Huo, Rong Le, Li Chaoren, etc., have all agreed to attend tomorrow night's dinner. "For this welcome dinner, the Dong family almost invited all the celebrities in Xiangjiang!

Dong Chuanwang smiled happily: "Yes, by the way, don't forget to invite Xiaobao!"

Dong Gongzi smiled bitterly, the small bag in his father's mouth, is naturally the king of charter ships, since 1977 Gypson ship brokerage company ranked the king of the world's ships, his father has been obsessed with this ranking, want to surpass the king of charter ships, and now the king of charter boats abandoned the boat landing, and his father is increasing the number of ships, between the advantages of the other, his father finally surpassed the king of charter ships, in this case, Dong boat king naturally wants to invite the king of charter ships.

"I've been invited, and Mr. Bao has promised to attend tomorrow night!" Dong Gongzi said.

"Haha, good!" Dong Chuanwang was overjoyed, if this kind of scene was without the participation of the charter king, it would be a lot less fun.

The father and son talked for a long time, and by the time the two fell asleep separately, it was already early in the morning, if it weren't for Dong Gongzi's repeated persuasion, it was estimated that Dong Chuanwang would have stayed up all night.

Following!

Dong Chuanwang was in good spirits and could not see the slightest tiredness, sitting at the long dining table at home, even the second son Dong Jiancheng, who was in charge of OOCL listed companies in the United States, had returned to Xiangjiang for this grand event.

"Father, now that the global shipping industry has begun to enter a period of depression, is the next step for us to consider the group's next policy!" Dong Jiancheng has been overseas for many years, and he has also been keenly aware of the current situation of the world's shipping industry.

"You don't have to worry about this, this is just a period of adjustment for the shipping industry, didn't the shipping industry also have a crisis back then, and two or three years have passed, you don't have to worry about this!" Dong Chuanwang waved his hand, looking full of confidence.

When the oil crisis caused the crisis in the shipping industry, wasn't it also a bunch of people talking about the crisis in the shipping industry? But in the end, the shipping industry survived, and as long as there was transportation, the shipping industry could not collapse!

Dong Jiancheng still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dong Gongzi with his eyes, it was obviously not suitable to talk about these things at this time, Dong Jiancheng nodded and said no more.

Prince Rainier's flight arrived at 5 p.m., and after breakfast, King Dong Chuanwang took his two sons to the company to discuss the reception.

Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Dong Gongzi saw that his father was so energetic, he forgot all about Rongle's previous instructions.

At this time, the phone in Dong Chuanwang's office suddenly rang!

Dong Chuanwang picked up the phone, thinking that it was the person who congratulated him, and asked, "That one?"

But then Dong Gongzi saw that his father's face changed greatly, and he covered his chest with his left hand, looking wrong!

Immediately afterwards, I heard Dong Chuanwang shouting loudly: "This is impossible, you are deceiving people too much!" and then he fell on the table with a hard talking phone.

Dong Gongzi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my father?"

"The Hong Kong government called, and asked me not to attend the dinner to welcome Prince Rainier of Monaco?" Dong Chuanwang's face flushed at this time, and he looked very unhealthy.

Dong Jiancheng was also furious, and said: "Why are they, father, you are the honorary consul in Hong Kong appointed by the Monaco royal family!"

At this time, Dong Gongzi finally remembered Rong Le's entrustment, and hurriedly asked, "Father, how is your health?"

King Dong Chuanwang waved his hand and said, "I don't need to go to the hospital, I have to go to the Hong Kong government to ask why they stopped me from meeting Prince Rainier of Monaco!"

After finishing speaking, Dong Chuanwang staggered to his feet, and before he could take a step, his whole body suddenly fell on the chair.

"Call an ambulance immediately!" Seeing this, Dong Gongzi hurriedly shouted.

................

The welcome dinner at the Peninsula Hotel was supposed to be held, but everyone who attended the dinner heard the news that the host of the dinner, Dong Chuanwang, had a heart attack and had been sent to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, and is now being rescued!

Rong Le let out a long sigh, he didn't expect the inertia of history to be so strong, Dong Chuanwang still didn't escape this catastrophe in the end, he just hoped that he could be rescued this time!

However, it was reasonable that Rong Le was going to visit the hospital at this time, and when Rong Le arrived at the hospital, he found that Mr. Huo had arrived, and some members of the Han and Tang Societies had already come to the hospital, but in order to avoid distraction from Dong Gongzi, everyone just expressed their condolences and left.

When Rong Le arrived, he found that Dong Gongzi was chatting with Mr. Huo.

"Ah Le, you're here!" Mr. Huo's expression was a little tired, he and Dong Chuanwang had been friends for many years, and now Dong Chuanwang was like this, which Mr. Huo didn't want to see.

"Dong Gongzi, you don't have to worry, Dong Chuan Wang Ji is a natural appearance, and he will definitely be able to get through!" Rong Le wanted Dong Gongzi to express comfort.

Dong Gongzi regretted that he didn't listen to Rong Le at the beginning, otherwise things would not have come to this point.

Dong Gongzi naturally couldn't accompany Tsar Huo and Rongle all the time, and there were other guests who needed him to receive them. When only Mr. Huo and Rong Le were left, Mr. Huo let out a long sigh and said, "If Lao Dong really has an accident, it will be difficult for the Dong family to do it!"

Although Mr. Huo has rarely been involved in the business world, he is also aware of Dong Chuanwang's business behavior, and he inevitably has to worry about his old friend.

Rong Le nodded, and didn't say anything, if Dong Chuanwang is really like in history, then he will leave a debt of nearly 7 billion Hong Kong dollars for Dong Gongzi, at that time, everyone thought that Dong Chuanwang's line was about to end, but Dong Gongzi relied on amazing perseverance, as well as the help of Mr. Huo and others, to wipe out the debts of Dongfang Shipping......

Looking at the time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Rong Le persuaded: "Huo Bo, it's not early, you go back first, if there is anything, I will inform you as soon as possible!"

Mr. Huo nodded, it would be useless for him to stay here at this time.

In the end, Dong Chuanwang did not bear the inertia of history, and died in the early morning of the 15th!

The newspapers released in the morning reported the news of the death of Dong Chuanwang with the big black headline of 'Launching Ceremony Becomes Funeral'.

A generation of ship kings passed away with their own regrets, leaving a huge debt for their descendants!

Later, on the 17th, the funeral of King Dong Chuan, the outgoing Governor MacLehose, the Prince of Monaco and his wife, more than 3,000 people attended the funeral of King Dong Chuan!

The news of the death of Dong Chuanwang became the most important news in Xiangjiang in April, for a while, the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, teahouses and restaurants were discussing Dong Chuanwang's life and death, people seemed to see the sunset, sighing that Dong Chuanwang was so happy in his later years, and the disaster was delayed for future generations!

............

When Rong Le was dealing with company affairs, he suddenly received a call from Sand Sea Entertainment Company in Hollywood, USA.

At the beginning, Rong Le bought Hollywood's Shahai Entertainment Company for the sake of the Chen family, and later merged his investment company in Hollywood with Shahai Entertainment to establish a new Shahai Entertainment Company!

During the past two years, Shahai Entertainment has participated in the investment of the first or two series of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and also got the investment share of Spielberg's latest movie "ET", although it is not much, but it is better than nothing, and it has also invested in several low-cost movies!

It can be said that Shahai Entertainment has some fame in Hollywood, and the development of things has been going on in an orderly manner, but I don't know who revealed that the big boss behind Shahai Entertainment is a Xiangjiang boss.

As soon as the news came out, at this time, the seven major Hollywood studios began to boycott the investment of Shahai Entertainment, and Shahai Entertainment was struggling in Hollywood for a while!

This also made Rong Le feel the xenophobia of Hollywood again, Rong Le remembered that he had read a book "Best Movie Star" in another time and space about Hollywood, when David Ellison, the son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, waved a check and entered Hollywood, he was also excluded from Hollywood and paid countless tuition fees before entering Hollywood.

Nowadays, Hollywood's soft ban on Shahai Entertainment is also reasonable.

When Rong Le came to Hollywood, he was followed by Paul Brown from the strategic planning office, Paul Brown was the manager of the production department of Fox Film Company, one of the seven major Hollywood companies, but when Rong Le was invited to the company, he had already retired at Fox, otherwise it would not be easy for Rong Le to poach him.

And Rong Le brought him this time, it is precisely because of his connections in Hollywood that Rong Le hopes to borrow Paul Brown's connections to open the Hollywood market for him.

Although Rongle gave up the acquisition of Lianyi at the beginning, it does not mean that Rongle will give up the Hollywood market, Lianyi Film Company itself is too full of holes, coupled with the xenophobia of Hollywood that Rongle considers. That's why Rong Le gave up on acquiring Lianyi Film Company.

Changed to Shahai Entertainment, an inconspicuous Hollywood film company, to develop obscenely, in order to avoid Hollywood's xenophobia.

But he didn't expect that Shahai Entertainment had just gained some fame, and he was exposed to his backstage, which led to the boycott of Shahai Entertainment by major Hollywood film companies.

After coming to Hollywood, Rongle took the lead in inviting George Lucas and Spielberg to dinner, both of whom are the backbone of Jewish forces in Hollywood, and if Rongle can make sense of them, then Rongle's ice-breaking journey in Hollywood will be much easier.

George Lucas and Spielberg happily went to the appointment.

"George, we have been working together very happily, but for the behavior of the seven Hollywood congresses for Shahai Entertainment, I still hope that George and Steven can do a thing or two for Shahai Entertainment in Hollywood!" Rong Le took the initiative to speak during the banquet.

George Lucas and Spielberg glanced at each other, and George Lucas said embarrassedly: "Rong, you also know that Hollywood has its particularity, although we and Steven have some say in Hollywood, but in front of the Seventh Congress, we are still powerless!"

Spielberg nodded in agreement, and when the two were together, it was often George Lucas who took the idea, and Spielberg agreed.

It's just, who believes it!

As long as there is Lucasfilm under George Lucas, then for the sake of the "Star Wars" series, any of the seven companies will have to give him face, especially as the distribution company of "Star Wars", 20th Century Fox will definitely sell George Lucas's face.

And Spielberg, as one of Hollywood's top directors, has even more say in front of the Big Seven than George Lucas, because George Lucas is only working with 20th Century Fox now, and Spielberg can shoot movies for any film company!

Rong Le knew that whether it was George Lucas or Spielberg, they were waiting for Rong Le to come out with their chips, and they didn't pay any benefits, so they wanted them to run for Rong Le, and they wouldn't do it.

"George, I naturally know the particularity of Hollywood, but I believe more in the status of the two in Hollywood, if the two can open up the channel to Hollywood for me, then I am willing to give up part of the investment share of the series after "Raiders of the Lost Ark". ”

Rongle made his own concessions, which is also no way, if you want to break the ban of Hollywood, Rongle must get the help of George Lucas and Spielberg.

At the beginning, Golden Harvest came to Hollywood from Xiangjiang, and its ambitions were not only to invest in some films of little-known independent production companies, if Rongle was really boycotted by Hollywood, then Rongle could only follow the old path of Golden Harvest, which is not what Rongle wanted to see.

However, Rong Le obviously underestimated the greed of George Lucas and Spielberg, and they were not just staring at the investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"!

"Rong, if your Shahai Entertainment has the addition of Hollywood capital, then this boycott will be self-defeating!" George Lucas laughed.
