Whether it is now or decades later, LA has always been a drunken place in the United States, it is the entertainment capital of the United States, and it is one of the four most important cities in the United States, along with New York, the economic center of the United States, Washington, D.C., the political center, and Las Vegas, the capital of sin!

Christie's set the auction venue in LA this time, naturally because of the characteristics of spending money here.

At half past six in the evening, at Christie's Auction Center, Rong Le and Deng Lijun arrived in dresses as scheduled, and the two walked into the center with invitations, and an old man wearing a tuxedo and about 60 years old was greeting at the door: "Hello, Mr. Rong, welcome to Christie's Auction Center!"

Rong Le was slightly stunned, this old man didn't even read his invitation, how did he know about himself? Could it be Christie's hidden boss?

In fact, Rong Le was wrong, this old man is a doorman at Christie's, and he has been working for a lifetime, born in a black neighborhood in New York, a proper poor child, no background, no education, applied for the position of a doorman at Christie's, and he has been working for 35 years.

360 lines of the line out of the champion, talking about his kind of person, this old man can remember almost all the political leaders and celebrities in the world who have participated in the Christie's auction, business tycoons, big collectors, and Rong Le, as the richest man in Xiangjiang, naturally participated in several Christie's auctions, Christie's naturally has Rong Le's information, so even if the old man has never seen Rong Le, he still remembers Rong Le's appearance in the photo.

The old man's talent was also valued by Christie's, whenever Christie's had a major auction, he would be called to take charge of the doorman's duties, at the beginning Christie's had an important auction in London, Christie's president personally ordered him to go to London, but at that time the old man had just married, and the child was only two weeks, so he refused the president's order.

As a result, the president of Christie's personally invited the old man to go to London with his wife, and at the London airport, the old man was picked up by the extended Lincoln!

What's even more inspirational is that when this old man retired, Christie's specially held a grand cocktail party for him, and announced that he would retire as the company's vice president and treatment!

It can be said that this old man is the pinnacle of the doorman's career!

After entering the venue, Christie's auction venue was more like a large-scale cocktail party, which was not the same as the traditional auction, Rongle came to his own exclusive location under the guidance of the waiter, and there were a lot of people at the scene, and Rongle also saw a few Asians at the scene, but I didn't know which country it was, looking at the thin and obscene appearance, it was estimated that it was either Dongying's, or a stick.

"Brother Le, do you think I want a child too?" Deng Lijun has stayed in Beverly Hills in addition to rehearsing for the concert in the past few days, and after staying with Rong Jingshi for a while, she found that she liked children more and more, so she also had the idea of wanting to have one herself.

Rong Le glanced at Deng Lijun, he knew Deng Lijun's physical condition, so he smiled: "Okay, but after a while, I'll find a few experts to help you adjust your body first, otherwise your body will be overwhelmed!"

Deng Lijun smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Le, you are so good!"

Queen Sweet Song, she is talking about Deng Lijun, although her appearance is not beautiful, and she does not have the upper hand compared with other women in Rongle, but her sweet smile is always easy to influence everything.

"Are you good!" Rong Le smiled and chatted with Deng Lijun.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the venue, obviously there were big people entering the venue, although Rong Le's net worth was much richer than most of the people present, but his reputation in LA has not been obvious, so there are not many people who know him, even most of the people on the scene, when they see Rong Le's appearance, they will only think that he is from the family from the East, so it did not cause any sensation.

At this time, the person who walked in was different, white, in his sixties, with slightly gray hair, meticulously combed, wearing a coffee-colored suit, next to a beautiful woman who was enough to be his granddaughter to hold his arm, and it seemed that there was still a trace of oriental blood.

After the two walked into the venue, they instantly became the focus of the entire venue, and most of them went over to toast, and the old man was also full of gentlemanly demeanor, greeting everyone warmly, as if they were all friends.

Deng Lijun was slightly stunned and said, "It's him?"

Rong Le glanced at Deng Lijun curiously, and said, "Do you know him?" Rong Le didn't know this old man!

Deng Lijun said: "This person is Kirk Corian, the boss behind MGM!" Deng Lijun often holds concerts in the United States, and for Hollywood bigwigs, she knows more people than Rongle!

"It's him!" Rong Le said with a noncommittal smile.

Kirk Corian is not only the behind-the-scenes boss of MGM, but also has another more prominent identity, the Las Vegas casino tycoon, who has been called the 'designer' of Las Vegas by the media!

A world-renowned investment expert, in the sixties, had a net worth of more than 100 million dollars, and can be said to be one of the top richest people in the United States!

Sure enough, it's a big guy!

But all this has nothing to do with Rongle, and the two still have some grievances, Rongle's Shahai Entertainment was boycotted by the seven major Hollywood companies, in fact, MGM operated in the latter song.

Last year, MGM acquired Lianyi, and Lianyi put forward the idea that Rongle wanted to buy itself in order to increase its own price, so that MGM acquired Lianyi at a higher price, which made MGM very unhappy.

So when they found out that Rong Le was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of Shahai Entertainment, they launched the Hollywood Seven Boycotts of Shahai Entertainment.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, although Rong Le did not think about any communication with Kirk Corian, but Kirk Corian saw Rong Le in the crowd, and then took his female companion, and suddenly walked to Rong Le's side, those who surrounded Kirk Corian, seeing the big man in their eyes, actually took the initiative to walk to the side of an oriental young man, they were curious, and inquired about the origin of this young man.

"Rong, welcome to Hollywood!" Kirk Corian didn't feel the slightest strangeness from the first meeting with Rongle, with a smile in his eyes, and no guilt from their MGM for Shahai Entertainment.

Rong Le smiled and said, "Mr. Kirk, let me see Hollywood hospitality!" The two exchanged words, but they smiled and shook each other warmly.

"I hope Mr. Rong will like Hollywood hospitality!" Kirk Corian laughed.

At this time, the people around also knew that the young man turned out to be the boss of Shahai Entertainment, and most of the people who came to the venue today were Hollywood people, including stars and practitioners in the film industry, and they naturally knew about the contradictions between Shahai Entertainment and the Seventh Congress.

"It turns out that he is the Rongle of Shahai Entertainment!"

"You look so young!"

"Hmph, what about being young, offended MGM, and still has two popular movies in his hands, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "ET", the Seven Big League will not make him so happy!"

"I heard he recently invested in a small-budget film?"

"I've also heard that the director is a rookie director who has only directed one movie, and the actor is a person who almost makes an adult movie without acting skills, and even if such a film is made, no one will watch it. ”

"Haha, do you think he wants to? Now the Seven Da Congress will not give him the opportunity to invest at all, if he doesn't invest in some small-budget movies, when the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series ends, Shahai Entertainment will exist in name only!"

"Mr. Kirk is really condescending, he actually took the initiative to talk to this defeated general, he really thinks highly of him, a Xiangjiang man who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he doesn't know what Mr. Kirk values him!"

There was such a whispered discussion all around, but it was not suppressed, obviously not afraid of Rong Le hearing it, but Rong Le was always smiling, and he didn't put the surrounding discussion in his ears at all.

Kirk Corian naturally couldn't come to Rong Le's side for no reason, and after a few rounds of exchanging words between the two, Kirk Corian took the initiative to say: "Rong, this kind of thing was originally discussed by the general manager of MGM, but it's better for us to meet by chance today, how about we talk about it?" I didn't expect Kirk Corian to say a few idioms.

Rong Le said: "Mr. Kirk, please speak!"

"We at MGM are very interested in Shahai Entertainment's share of the investment in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I wonder if Rong has any ideas about cutting love?" Kirk Corian said.

The filming of &" has begun, Rongle's funds have been in place, and the investment share naturally cannot be replaced, but "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" has not yet been established, Kirk Corian naturally saw this gold mine, and through the box office sales of the first two parts, no one doubts that "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" is a big hit!

Rongle is not surprised at all Kirk Corian's request, the so-called Hollywood's seven boycotts of Shahai Entertainment, Hollywood's xenophobia is an important point, and another important point is naturally interests, Hollywood produces so many movies every year, and the status of the Seven in Hollywood is also deep-rooted.

Now there's suddenly one more to share the food, if they're just insignificant small characters, then forget it, but there's still a big-selling series in their hands, which makes it possible for them to sit idly by, so in the end, it's still the interests that are at work!

Rong Le said: "Haha, this may disappoint Mr. Kirk, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a project that we Shahai Entertainment is very optimistic about, and we don't plan to give him an investment quota!"

Kirk Corian showed a hint of disappointment, but he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, and smiled: "It's our MGM that is abrupt!"

Rong Le raised some vigilance in his heart, such a conversation is too inconsistent with Kirk Corian's identity, the investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" means nearly 100 million US dollars in benefits, no matter which Hollywood company, it should be rushed, but Kirk Corian is so understated to expose the past, which is not at all in line with common sense!

Sure enough, Kirk Corian's words made Rong Le understand that his purpose was not the investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at all.

"Rong, I also have some friends in Haojiang, I heard that you are the third largest shareholder of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company, and our MGM casino also has some reputation in Las Vegas, I am very interested in the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company in your hands, if you are willing to sell, I believe you will be able to get our friendship with MGM!"

How can the income of a movie be more than the benefits brought by the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company, although Rongle got 13% of the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company in Ye Han's hands, and only spent 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but that is only a friendship price.

And with the development of the economy, Haojiang will become the largest gambling city in Southeast Asia, and as the only Haojiang tourism and entertainment company with a gambling license, his value will definitely be higher and higher, and the investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Rongle's hands is not worth mentioning compared with the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company!

Kirk Corian himself is a Las Vegas gambling tycoon, and if he can use this to get his hands on the gambling industry in the East, then Kirk Corian will become a veritable global gambling king!

At this time, Rong Le really understood Kirk Corian's purpose, it turned out that everything before was a disguise, and the real purpose was the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company.

But how could Rong Le agree, these shares were left to his children in the future!

"Mr. Kirk said with a smile, it is impossible for us to sell the shares of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company!" Rong Le did not deal with Kirk Corian at all, and directly refused his request.

Kirk Corian raised his eyebrows slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes, "Are you repeatedly rejecting our friendship with MGM?"

Rong Le said-for-tat: "If MGM's friendship is to win love, then I really don't care!"

Kirk Corian's eyes changed completely, and he said: "Rong, I know that you have a media group in Xiangjiang, and you are also working to make this media group global, but if there is no Hollywood market, I don't think your media group can complete your globalization, right?"

Rong Le naturally heard the threat in Kirk Corian's words, but Rong Le had already had his own plan for the entire Hollywood strategy, so he naturally would not take Kirk Corian's threat to heart.

"Mr. Kirk, we Chinese people have a saying that what is mine will be mine in the end, and I don't think MGM represents the whole of Hollywood!"

Kirk Corian glanced at Rong Le, suddenly put away his essence, and said with a smile: "Okay then, I hope Rong can be responsible for today's words!"

Rong Le smiled: "Don't worry, the most important thing for us Chinese people is integrity, if you say you don't regret it, you won't regret it!"

The two exchanged words, but they were all smiling, and there was no so-called sabre-rattling in the atmosphere, just like the conversation between the two was very smooth, but Rong Le knew that when it ended today, Hollywood's boycott of Shahai Entertainment would be even stronger.

However, as Rong Le said, Hollywood has never been monolithic, and when the two series "Terminator" and "Home Alone" come out, the so-called boycott will be self-defeating!

Just as Rongle was talking to Kirk Corian, not far from Rongle, a young Asian looked at them with interest.
