Chapter 315 Family Gathering
Sophia said: "Donald, don't refuse Mark's kindness, you see that Mark, as the number one killer in Hollywood, is such a powerful person, and he is equipped with bodyguards." ”
Mark said: "The main thing is to reassure the people in the family, you must know that you are one of the things that the Foundation does, billionaires, there will be many outlaws who will fight your idea, I can guarantee that they are secretly protecting, you will not find out about their existence at all, I am stupid, why should I tell you? Just do it." He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders in annoyance.
David and Sophia are in opposite directions.
"I don't like the feeling of people staring at me everywhere," Donald said. ”
Mark said: "There are so many Iron Man comics on your bookshelf, you should be a Stark fan, right?"
Donald said: "Yes, I am, if Iron Man is not filmed well, I will not think of brotherhood, and I will spray you to death, oh my God! Heath and David, there are so many stars in Hollywood, you just want to find a problem star, is it because he is also named Donnie?"
Mark said: " You don't have to worry about making a movie, it will definitely succeed, it will definitely sell, Stark will wear Mark armor to go to the sky and the earth, omnipotent, from another point of view, he is equivalent to being trapped in an iron cage, but wearing Mark armor, he will go to the sky and the earth, omnipotent, and you have an extra team around you, he will also make you stronger, this is invisible protective armor, he can make you have the ability to attack and self-preservation, you can advance or retreat, make you more powerful, Donald, personal power is always limited, you have to become stronger, you can only integrate the power of the team, Mark armor is given to you, how to play, what role can it playIt's up to you. ”
Donald said, "I can't refuse your Mark armor. ”
Mark laughed, "Put him on, he can make you stronger." ”
Donald shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't refuse." He coughed dryly and asked, "Giselle, when is the Giselle free?" I want to have a party with my friends. ”
Giselle said: "You put on the Mark armor, and the Giselle is available at any time." ”
Donald said, "OK!"
Mark said: "Isn't this a big joy? You only have four bodyguards, I have eight, as for the cost, you don't have to worry, it is paid by the foundation, it all depends on everyone's unity and efforts, the situation of the foundation is very good, in such a difficult situation this year, it is still far beyond expectations, let us toast to the foundation to get better and better." ”
Everyone toasted happily, and even Kayla raised the orange juice in her hand in a good way.
After everyone finished drinking, David, as the head of the family, said again: "Just now Mark has said the reason why our family is thriving, this is unity, unity makes us stronger, and there is the addition of Giselle, the birth of a new life, all these are the symbols of the family's prosperity, this cup of tribute to Giselle, thank her for our family!
This made Giselle so happy that even the little freckles on her face seemed to glow, and she happily accepted everyone's toast and drank the champagne in her hand.
Sophia proposed: "The third cup of Respect Mark, his ability and mind are admirable, enough to be a role model for his younger brothers and sisters, as the second generation leader of the family, he will lead the family to the ranks of the first-class family sooner or later, Respect Mark!"
Mark was a little apologetic and said: "I just did what I was supposed to do, without the support of the family power, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today, so I don't dare to take Sophia's praise." ”
David patted Mark on the shoulder and said: "Excessive modesty is pride, your leadership will basically achieve achievements that many large companies can't do, your ability and vision are obvious to all, we are proud of you, Mark, lead everyone to move forward, right?"
Seeing Giselle, Donald, and Kayla all raise their glasses, and even David and Sophia raised their glasses, they had to raise their glasses and touch them, and after drinking the red wine in the glass, Giselle kissed him and said, "I'm proud of you!" By the way, he put the sliced steak in the sauce in front of Mark, who often tossed four or five steaks, and ate them quickly, and people close to him would often cut a plate or two for him.
And this year is another important year, in the past, every year Sophia and they went to their mother's house for Christmas, and went to Switzerland to attend the family annual meeting in the New Year, this year, they did not go, they spent in their own home, which was regarded as self-reliance, and the last aid, the old Ronaldson is to make it clear that the ability and opportunity are to make them self-contained, if not, it is the life of an agent.
Now Mark has figured out that the Ronaldson family is not a pure Jewish family, and there are people in their family who believe in Judaism and those who believe in Christianity, and those who believe in Judaism celebrate Hanukkah and those who believe in Christianity celebrate Christmas, and there is no conflict with each other.
This also makes the family have two ideas, conservative and reformist, and their support for Sophia is the result of the hard work of old Ronaldson, and it has also exhausted the family's favor, so to speak, they will never help them again.
David Sophie's villa is relatively small, so he decided to hold a Christmas Eve party at the palace on Mark Marbury Beach, which is also a recognition of Mark as the leader of the family, both David and Sophia, both of whom think they are not doing as well as Mark, so they decide that he will be the leader.
In fact, David and Sophia felt that such a large loan was too risky, but Mark and Donald insisted on it, and they had to choose to support it, this opportunity is indeed very rare, and their family fund, as the largest controlling party of MM, is also burdened with huge debts.
Debts are nothing, seventy-year-old Lei Shidong dared to raise nearly 40 billion, acquired CBS, raised 40 billion, Viacom is about this market value, but Viacom is huge, strong profitability, Lei Shidong's leadership ability is widely recognized, but it cannot be ignored that they owe 40 billion in debt, and the Wang brothers and sisters family fund owes more than 6 billion in debt, the difference is that Viacom is 100%, and the Wang brothers and sisters family fund is 600%, which sounds scary to death.
To the relief of David and Sophia, Mark did not do this like Lei Shidong, who also controlled the company with a family fund, Lei Shidong continued to dilute the equity of his wife, son, daughter, younger brother, and sister, but his own was more and more, which caused great dissatisfaction within the family and could only be suppressed by force.
And Mark is cautious on this issue, every time he dilutes the equity, it is diluted proportionally, and it will never only dilute his younger brothers and sisters, Mark will be blessed and shared to the end, it is this kind of style that convinces David and Sophia, his eldest brother's personality charm, convincing, Sophia was born in a wealthy family, and is used to seeing brothers and sisters fighting for money to the death, which is bound to become fire and water, Mark's quality makes her feel extremely valuable, so she is relieved to give him more power.
And she is a mother, not only to help him to the throne, but also to push him, so that his road is smoother and go further, the sons are ambitious, and the parents cannot be ambiguous, they are ready to tighten their belts and live a life.
But at the end of the year, Mark fought two more beautiful battles, a cost of more than 10 million "Youth Musical" swept the Christmas schedule, and within fifteen days, North exceeded 150 million US dollars, and it was hard to compete with super blockbusters such as "Harry Potter 4" and "King Kong".
An even bigger record came, with YouTube selling for a whopping $1.5 billion, which made all Hollywood studios look at it and made the Lonaldson family's investors no longer worry about returns.
Such a dazzling report card, even the presidents of the other five giants can't take it out, let Mark go further, as the leader of the new rising Wang family, he is very important, so the party held in Mark's palace is not a simple party, it involves a lot of things, this is the family's foreign affairs will be centered on them.
Tomorrow's Christmas Eve party, Mr. and Mrs. David will attend, and by the way, some friends of the couple, as well as important people and friends from the company, will be invited to spend Christmas Eve together.
This is the change of status and changes life, last year Mark was almost alone for Christmas, and before the holiday, he made a joke about Marvel's "salary", rushed to New York to deal with it, and met Giselle outdoor shooting, they were almost dry firewood, one point, and David They went to their parents' house for the holiday, and then went to Switzerland for a holiday to attend the family annual meeting.
And this year, the family finally stayed together and celebrated the holiday together, so Mark can imagine how much effort and courage Sophia and Donald spent to win the support of their mother's family in the first place.
Early the next morning, they drove to the Mark Palace to prepare, the party was commanded by a housekeeper, there was a professional team to operate, and the party was not held until the evening, but many things they had to see with their own eyes to rest assured, in the Mark Palace, David and Sophia, Donald, and Kayla all had their own rooms and a full set of daily necessities, Mark was not the kind of person who lived with his parents and regarded him as a freak, but he felt that it was so lively and warm.
Mark is not a Christian, and he has no thanksgiving expectations for Christmas Eve, and his greatest expectation for the holiday season is for family and friends to gather together, sing and dance, and share a happy life with plenty of food and clothing.
Especially after experiencing the kidnapping of Donald, Mark felt that it was rare for the family to be together, and he regretted the indifference and alienation of his uncle during the wedding.
I wish you book friends a happy new year and all the best.
