Chapter 356: The Eve of Departure

"Today is a day worth celebrating~"

In the back garden of Sissi's extraordinarily large mansion, Alice held a bottle of orange Fanta soda and trotted out of the house: "Let's replace wine with soda and celebrate the great reunion of the SOS group!"

"Oh~ Celebrate, celebrate, I want to die of our family Maiya!" This is Ashley pandering, but unfortunately she is the only one who responds, and the other two ignore Alice at all and are helping their parents prepare the ingredients. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for Ashley, the tall blonde girl stood firmly on the threshold of sixteen years old, and was taller than the average girl of the same age, with a pair of long legs that were more slender, and her blonde hair and lovely melon seed face were even more amazingly attractive. How could the beauty not make Alice smile, when even in the paper cup full of Fanta, handed it to her.

"Ah~ Come on, comrades-in-arms, let's toast to a better tomorrow!"

Ashley raised the paper cup in the air: "Oh~ for the Messiah, for Troy, for the gods in the sky, cheers!"

Two girls who had regular convulsions were making a fuss in the garden, and Sissi and Maiya listened to their voices and smiled at each other.

Today, the middle of January has just arrived, and Eton College in the United Kingdom and West Point Military Academy in the United States have finally ushered in the winter vacation. The military academy has a clear portrayal of people, but it has only been a semester, but when everyone sees Maiya again, no one is not surprised by the obvious changes in her.

"My skin is really darkening," Sissi said as she carefully placed the charcoal cubes into the charcoal stove, "I can't imagine standing in a military posture under the sun......

"You've lost a lot of weight, it's impossible for you not to lose weight," Maiya picked up another charcoal stove from her father and put it on the shelf: "Sissi, I see that you seem to have accumulated a lot ......of subcutaneous fat, why don't you go to West Pastry as a guest?"

"When did you learn to make jokes like that......" Sissi first felt embarrassed, thinking that Ashley's influence was really not simple, but immediately felt that something was wrong: "Wait, am I fat? Maiya, am I really fat!?"

"It's a little bit, the girl is too thin and doesn't look good. A kind and beautiful woman, with a typical and delicate Japanese face, Maiya's mother, Kaori, just walked up to them: "Come, Maiya, put this plate of meat on meat skewers, and the job will be left to you." ”

Maiya immediately took it: "Okay mother." ”

Sissi looked at the pieces of meat cut by Maiya's mother, the thickness of which was uniformly hexagonal, and the area was almost the same, and she exclaimed, "It's amazing, I can't do it like this." ”

Kaori rarely appears in front of the girls, after all, Maiya's house is a little far from Vinton Street, and she is mainly homely like a traditional Japanese woman, so every appearance will make everyone feel fresh.

"It's very simple, as long as you practice diligently. At this time, she smiled and said, "By the way, Sissi-chan, you are also a big girl who is going to high school now, do you have any favorite people? Cooking is very important for girls." ”

Sissi's expression immediately became strange, naturally, there was a slight flush on her fair face, but not to the point of shyness. She hurriedly sped up the speed of adding charcoal, and at the same time vaguely changed the topic: "Ahem, this kind of thing about the person you like, it's better to think about it early." That one...... Alice, hey, Alice, where did the girl die!?"

"Oh, call me me?" Alice was still "fighting" Fanta with Ashley, and when she ran over, Sissi noticed that the large bottle of drink was actually halfway over.

"You, in charge of adding the charcoal stove, I'll go help my dad, Satonara!"

With a fork of the coal shoved out, Sissi walked away lightly, leaving someone standing quietly in place, still a little uncomposed.

Today's sunshine is fine, today's clouds are light and the wind is light, today is sunny and cloudy, today is cloudy with light rain, anyway, no matter what the day looks like, it is already the middle of the night, and the BBQ where four families gather together is very lively, as long as the weather is beautiful at this time.

"When you get to Hong Kong, don't ......" The crackling charcoal fire sounded on the side, and Alice took a big bite on the beef cube, gobbling it up, and said to Maimi, "We can find a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui." It is the commercial center of Hong Kong, yes, yes, Central is the business CBD, let's go to play first, of course, we have to run to the commercial center to stay. Well, it's delicious......"

"I don't know much about Hong Kong. Wuya was not in a hurry to eat meat, but picked a skewer of vegetables and chewed a piece of potato: "But compared to Chinese mainland, it at least has a stock exchange, wait for 'Oscar & amp; Hannah's development to a certain scale, can directly choose to list on the Hong Kong stock market, what is your plan?"

"Trouble," but Alice gave her a blank look: "I am a company registered in the United States, and I want to be listed in Hong Kong?"

Maiya's follow-up question was also simple: "Then what is your plan?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not listed," Alice snapped and took another bite of a good piece of meat: "It's about designing clothes, producing clothes, and then selling clothes." Why did you and I set up such a company, just for its surging cash flow like the Yellow River, the last Mao market. ”

That's what I said, and that's how the original plan started, but Maiya bit down a piece of green pepper noncommittally, and said lightly: "Then why didn't you get much money from there during this stock market crash arbitrage? amp; Hannah's cash reserves must be in the tens of millions, right?"

"A hundred million is more than enough...... Alice grunted as she swallowed a mouthful of meat, "but the point is...... Mamma Mia, I didn't expect the Chinese market to be so big that chain stores can be opened everywhere......"

"Okay......"

A "okay", with the famous "hehe", Maiya is about to stop the topic, so Alice instantly shut up, just ah h For a moment, there was almost silence in this corner of the garden, and only the sound of two young girls chewing could be faintly heard.

Maiya does have limited knowledge of the specifics of the company, as her focus is mainly on Blackwater International. When she went to North Carolina with Alice, she really trained with those soldiers for a week, and this is this girl's world. As for the clothing company Shenma, that's what Ashley likes.

Speaking of Ashley, it's a pity that this girl is not yet old enough to drink, so she can only use Fanta as a beer. At this moment, it is pestering the parents who rarely gather in Los Angeles, sitting with Sophie and pouring it all the time.

"In fact, it is really difficult for a layman to understand such a thing as brand grade. Elena gracefully held a glass of genuine champagne that tempted her daughter for a while: "I can only say that after two years of hard work in our institute, it can barely achieve a third-rate position in the European market." ”

The topic of clothing was not of James' interest, he was far away chatting with Roger Lawrence about making Hollywood blockbusters, and only Sophie could sit there with great interest, listening to the costume designer's unique business: "Oh...... It's only third-rate, but we've only been around for a short time, which is pretty good. ”

"Yes. Elena is very satisfied with finding a soulmate in her family of four, and she will not stop talking: "It takes time to establish a brand image, unless it is created by a master who has already become famous, otherwise it will definitely take a long time to develop." Three years is really too short, and even Giorgio Armani has worked hard for 14 years to get his brand to this point......"

Even listening to the words wafting from afar in the clothing field was enough to make the two men feel uncomfortable, so James and Roger Lawrence held their own dark beer ties and walked to a long distance before continuing the conversation.

"Lately, the number of great movies out there isn't been much out there. Lawrence said: "The third part of "First Blood" looks exciting, but it only proves that the filmmakers are starting to fry cold rice again. Even Ghost Street is constantly following the sequel, can you imagine? Although the income is guaranteed, the high degree of similarity of the film is not a good phenomenon. ”

"Action movies, thrillers, this is the easiest sequel. James agreed: "So it's really the easiest to homogenize, you have a point." So, if DreamWorks wants to break this industry deadlock, it must stand out with new genres of film...... Hey, Alice!"

When the father's daughter called over, the latter had a skewer of meat in his left hand and a glass of Fanta in his right hand, but he didn't let the soda spill when he ran, but he also had the ability: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

This is a little genius, Lawrence is paying her shareholders a share of the script, and as soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately said, "Alice, is there any movie that can sell well, recommend one to my uncle?"

When he said this, someone couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Big hit? It's very simple, didn't we buy the copyright of "Alien", wouldn't it be nice to make a sequel of seven or eight parts?"

James immediately laughed: "That's a great answer! I heard that there is no Roger, the sequel to Alien, find someone to shoot him seven or eight times, hahaha~"

What can Lawrence say? He can only smile wryly, "Alice, I'm serious. ”

Alice took a bite of meat in her left hand and a glass of Fanta in her right hand, and said, "No problem, but we are going to Hong Kong tomorrow, if you really want to wait for my new script, either wait for us to come back, or follow me to Hong Kong, choose one of the two." Well...... Ahh......h

Three times five divided by two to get another piece of meat, she finally threw down a sentence: "It's not bad to meet your peers over there, it's time to make a decision, and you may not be able to buy a ticket." ”

After saying that, how did she run over, and how did she run back to the place where the girls gathered.

The two adults stayed where they were, and James looked at Lawrence: "My daughter's suggestion is here, what do you see?"

Lawrence held his glass and frowned, as if it was a difficult question to decide: "yes, tomorrow morning's flight, do you still have tickets?" )
