Chapter 456: Go to Monterey Bay Again

You can't step into the same river twice, and that's true every morning.

In a luxurious villa on the Beverly Hillside, Mr. Han wore gloves and carefully looked at David's sample sculpture.

Guo Muzhou saw that ten minutes had passed for him, and he didn't mean to let go, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot......

What Han Xuan expected didn't happen, and his family seemed to have forgotten about his mess yesterday, packed up his little luggage and carried it on his back, and looked out the window, the helicopter was landing.

When I went downstairs to get the breakfast that Adolf's butler helped pack, and ate it on the way, my grandfather saw him and hurriedly asked, "Who are you going to give this sculpture to?"

The old man squinted his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just looking, I won't rob you, aren't there two of these things?"

"Well, I bought two, but one of them was stolen by thieves, along with Van Gogh's "Starry Night" and "Blooming Apricot Blossoms". ”

Han Xuan didn't tell them that the thing was in his own hands, and it was now deposited in the custody room of East West Bank, along with another statue of David.

Some time ago, the American media went crazy about this, and "Starry Night" needless to say, it was originally one of the best famous paintings in the world.

"Blooming Apricot Blossoms" also made a big splash for this, and it was not famous in the museum for decades, and it became popular after only half a month, and the experts were heartbroken, so people always don't cherish the present.

Insurance companies in the United States and the United Kingdom, citing insufficient security at the museum, have refused to pay the full amount, and are willing to pay only 20 percent, and recently seem intent on going to court.

Speaking of which, the U.S. government has lost a lot, but Han Xuan knows that most of these paintings were looted from Europe during the war, and to be honest, he doesn't have much resistance in his heart.

As for the two insurance companies that suffered losses, Han Xuan plans to give them a little business to make up for them in the future, but now looking at the tempers of these two insurance companies, it seems that they are not good people......

Guo Muzhou's mind suddenly became active, the United States has always been the world's largest art sales market, maybe these two things will flow into the American black market, as if nothing happened, he walked to the window and made a phone call, and soon came back and said to his in-laws: "No." ”

"Be careful, that thing is in trouble, and if you buy it from the black market, you can only look at it secretly, and you can only take it out openly after the decades of prosecution period has passed. ”

Han Xuan's expression was serious, he nodded in agreement, he was going to do this, and said, "I'm going to Ganbao Ocean Ranch, there are four days left to be Thanksgiving, come to me then." ”

"Okay. His grandfather took out a document from his bag and handed it to Han Xuan, "The sales of Anya comics for a week on the market don't make her money, she can get about 22% of each copy, and the copyright is also Anya's." ”

"Well, let's go, bye-bye. ”

……

Fly north over Highway 1.

Han Xuan opened the folder, and it was written that thousands of comic stores connected to Marvel had ordered more than 60,000 copies in total, and the average data of the sample survey showed that each sold almost five copies.

This is to be expected, and without promotion, it is already quite good to be able to sell like this.

I called one of the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle and booked a book introduction for tomorrow's newspaper, telling him that the name of the book was "Fat Cat" and that the sample was going to be found in a comic shop.

Then he called the manager of East West Bank and transferred $30,000 to the San Francisco Chronicle.

After processing it, I will look at the documents sent by Snow Mountain Investment Company in the morning, which are about HOPE Technology Company.

The Destiny search engine is confirmed to launch on Thanksgiving four days later, along with the launch of a beta version of the AOA chat software.

When I went to the trademark and patent office to register, I found that the name AOA was occupied by a baby products company, so it was changed to wow, and the name was also occupied.

After checking again, I found that it was "World of Warcraft" produced by my own Blizzard game, the abbreviation of World-of-Warcraft, and this is no problem.

The chat software is officially named WOW chat software, and the spoken language is pronounced "wow", which is easy to understand and easy to remember.

It is worth mentioning that Nvidia waferless IC Semiconductor, an old neighbor of Hope Technology, encountered financial problems in development and turned to Christopher for help, hoping to get angel investment from Han Xuan.

A few months ago, Anthony asked the company's partners, but they were young and energetic and did not agree, and now they have finally lost on a huge amount of development funds, hoping to get $2 million at the cost of 40% of Nvidia's shares.

In their previous lives, they were able to develop high-performance graphics technology and digital media processors, and there was no reason for them to fail suddenly in this life.

After thinking about it briefly, Han Xuan picked up his mobile phone again, called Christopher, and asked: "Nvidia is going to invest?" Tell them, 5 million 60%, 7 million 70%, 10 million 90%, what is the problem for them to come to Monterey Bay Gamble Marine Ranch to talk to me." ”

"I see, boss.

The search engine and chat software have been done, and there are still some flaws that have not been found, and they will be improved when they are officially launched, do you want to take a look?"

Christopher said.

Han Xuan has been out for too long recently, and he is a little tired, so he refused: "Send a computer to me, I'll try it at home."

What happened to the www websites of Yang Zhiyuan and David, who contacted him some time ago? Does the other party have any plans to accept capital injection?"

"Yes, $2 million, 15% of the shares, they sold so much at most. ”

Han Xuan was immediately happy when he heard this, the database assembled from scrapped computer hard disks, the use of tens of thousands of people, was estimated to be worth 13 million US dollars, I really don't know whether I have confidence, or I think I am wronged, and said: "2 million US dollars, 70% of the shares, I can not interfere in their management, and upgrade the database for them." ”

"Han, to be honest I don't think this website has much effect, our search engine technology is much more advanced than that company, and it's not worth it to spend $2 million on 70%. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Christopher, I'm pretty bullish on this company, so let's do it. ”

"Okay then, I'll have the computer sent to you, and you install the network cables. ”

"Row"

Looking out the window, you can see the Pebble Beach Golf Course that hosts the auto show.

A few dozen kilometers ahead, a simple wooden house sits in the middle of a tall giant sequoia forest.

Construction is under way near the sea, and the prototype of the villa, which covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, has been formed.

Not far from it, the pier is also under construction, but the final renovation is not completed.

On the Big Penguin, the sailors were very busy, and began to collect the shrimp pots, and Captain Robinson's face was happy to see a huge broken ditch lobster.

Not far from the Big Penguin, Han's father wore sunglasses, lying on the deck of the Snow Mountain yacht basking in the sun, picking up the red wine at hand from time to time, taking a sip and sighing comfortably.

Fat Ding is teasing Totoro, while Pooh is lying on the railing, staring at the little white whale in the sea, wondering if this thing is good or not.

Suddenly, they looked neatly to the south.

A small black dot looms (to be continued.) )
