Chapter 110 (Overhauled, please collect it first, and read it later)
In the evening, through the short airport near Disney, everyone flew directly back to San Francisco, and there was no need to travel again.
As for the van, it can be returned in Los Angeles. There are many outlets of car rental companies, and the service is convenient!
On the way to the airport, a message came from the car radio that attracted everyone's attention:
"To report an unfortunate news, just a few hours ago, near the 38th parallel of North Korea, two American soldiers were brutally shot and killed by the North Korean side while cutting down trees!"
Xiang Sunhua looked worriedly: "You said China ......"
Lin Yi understood and knew what his girlfriend was worried about - the war broke out again, involving the sick and weak China.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Lin Yi took the other party's hand and patted it comfortingly.
The warmth from the palm of his hand, as well as the firm eyes of his boyfriend, made Sunflower relax. But soon, she pointed to the radio again: "Just now, it seems that the novel "Wasteland" was mentioned?"
Lin Yi nodded, he also heard it - the announcer on the radio, after three minutes of silence, recommended Lin Yi's novel "Wasteland" to the audience in a slightly mocking tone, and wished everyone to survive the nuclear war!
Lin Yi's mood was a little complicated. It is not a pleasant thing to use the misfortune of others to bring happiness to yourself.
Sometimes, though, that's how capital works. Not only him, but the famous 'military-industrial complex' will definitely benefit more from the crisis.
On the plane back to Los Angeles, Lin Yi discussed with Xiang Yanghua: "Our relationship must be reported to Hong Kong." So that my father-in-law can be prepared first. ”
Xiang Yanghua's face flushed, and she sent a disgusted look: "It's so thick-skinned! What father-in-law? My dad hasn't agreed yet!"
Lin Yi picked up the girl's hand and kissed it lightly: "When I set off in February, my father-in-law told me that after this trip, I must give him an explanation!
However, it happened that although on the plane, the two had already discussed the itinerary, but the sudden accident made their plans have to change.
The next morning, Lin Yi was about to book a plane ticket, but there was important news from the toy company: the matter of Transformers had the latest development.
Lin Yi wanted to know which bastard interrupted the sweet journey of the two!
Sunflower covered her mouth and chuckled, "It doesn't seem to be one, it's two bastards! ”
In the matter of Transformers, Lin Zhilan is also a partner, so it is natural to interject: "Ah, I know, they are all toy companies." My family's factory has done OEM for them. ”
"Our original plan seems to be a bit crooked - Ford, GM, these car companies, were our fishing targets, but they ended up catching their peers!" Speaking of this, the beautiful girl also smiled and squinted.
To Lin Yi, both companies are unfamiliar. If you want to talk about this American toy, apart from Disney, he only knows Lego and Marvel.
But then, Lin Zhilan's introduction made him suddenly realize that this Mattel company turned out to be the manufacturer of 'Barbie dolls'!
After Lin Zhilan came to the United States, in addition to paying attention to makeup and beauty, she did not throw away the family's skills, she found a magazine, turned to the color page of the Barbie doll, and showed it to the other two.
After Lin Yi saw the photos, he deeply felt that the Barbie dolls of this era are really different from the Barbie princesses of later generations!
A broad forehead, sunken eye sockets, and excessively high cheekbones are all too Westernized. The loss of the soft beauty of women makes the Oriental people a little unloved!
Pretty Girl continued to talk eloquently: "As for Hasbro, it has a table game called Real Estate Tycoon. And in Hong Kong, this game is called "Monopoly". ”
"Monopoly" - Lin Yi suddenly realized, as a game expert, how could he not have played this game?
Lin Zhilan continued: "Hasbro also makes dolls. However, in order to distinguish the dolls that girls play with, they invented the word 'doll', which means that it is a boy's toy!"
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi was of course relieved: "You are more professional than me, let go and do it boldly! If you encounter difficulties, Miss Julie, the chief negotiator of Heaven Games, can lend it to you temporarily." ”
Putting down the Transformers matter, Lin Yi began to book air tickets and arranged for Xiaoxin and them to return to Hong Kong. But Zhen Yingjun, he has no choice. The boy left his face behind and said that he would dedicate the whole summer vacation to his beloved girl!
After dinner, when he called the Hong Kong side, Lin Yi turned into a chicken pecking rice: "Well! Uncle, don't worry! As soon as the matter here is settled, we will go back immediately!"
After Lin Yi put down the microphone, he wiped the sweat on his head, and secretly sighed: It's not easy to be honest! This Uncle Xiang, after becoming an uncle, how did he suddenly become a chatterbox?
Here, the girls' decision is to choose win-win cooperation. However, the negotiations did not go smoothly at first. The two American toy companies, both of which have deep pockets, have no intention of cooperating at all, and they want to buy out the patents when they open their mouths.
Think about it, to create a toy star, from marketing to shooting animated movies, it costs a lot of money! People have invested a lot of money, will outsiders sit back and enjoy the success?
Therefore, Lin Yi must provide financial support, so that the girls have a bottom in their hearts! The minimum conditions, to keep the interests of Asia, and the right to invest in films.
The potential value of Transformers has been elaborated by Lin Yi. And Sunflower and Lin Zhilan are both very strong personalities, of course, they will not give in easily.
After the negotiator Julie appeared, the three girls, under pressure from the other party, continued to collect information and explore the opponent's weaknesses.
At the negotiating table, this kind of all-female lineup is absolutely very rare in the American workplace. Therefore, the difficulties they need to overcome are many times higher than in normal times!
At halftime, there was a major positive news - the review process of Transformers was finally completed. The market in the United States is completely open!
With this divine assist, negotiations are much easier. The final partner was Hasbro.
Lin Yi couldn't help asking: "Why don't you want to be a beauty pageant? Doesn't it mean that every girl dreams of owning Barbie?
Xiang Yanghua pouted and said, "You are wrong! That blonde girl, I don't care about her." Wearing gold and silver, luxury and profligacy, girls shouldn't learn from her!"
Lin Zhilan frowned and said, "Hmm...... If you give birth to a girl, you really need to pay attention. ”
Sunflower's counterattack came immediately. She looked at Zhen Yingjun and pouted: "Aren't you the same?"
Hearing this, the second middle school boy next to him was about to laugh crookedly!
The beautiful girl 'cut' and turned to Lin Yi and said, "The girl who doesn't care about the blonde girl is not the only one in your family." That negotiator, Julie, is a staunch feminist!"
Following Julie's appearance, Lin Zhilan relayed: "Big breasts, water snake waist, high heels - this Barbie, who is bent on defining us women like this, is simply a representative of intolerance!"
