"As always, I'll go to Fifth Avenue after I've talked to my dad about it, okay? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After pulling Diana out of the elevator, Li Xu said.

"Got it. Diana nodded obediently.

After arranging her to the lounge, Li Xu said hello to his father's secretary Mary and opened the door directly into the office.

Dad was on the phone, and when he saw Li Xu, he raised a finger: "I know, Narita-san, I will seriously consider your proposal, Neiko has always praised you, I believe that your proposal is valuable." ”

Well, Daddy still speaks Japanese quite neatly.

"Which Narita-kun?" waited for Dad to hang up the phone, Li Xu asked.

"Yutaka Narita. "Daddy said a name.

"The one from Dentsu?" Li Xu raised an eyebrow, "Is there something wrong with him?"

"For the '84 Olympics," Daddy explained briefly, "you know what Dentsu does. ”

Of course, advertising, in that part of Japan, if an artist offends the firm, there may be another way out, even if it's just a little bit, and if he offends Dentsu, he can basically change careers.

The full name of Dentsu is Nippon Dentsu Yanya Co., Ltd., which was formed by the merger of Japanese advertising established in 1901 and Nippon Telegraph News Agency established in 1907, which initially provided news advertising agencies, and changed to franchise advertising agencies in 1936, which once reached a monopoly.

It was dismembered after World War II, but with the accumulated connections, after decades of development, it became a behemoth again, and almost the vast majority of the advertisements of large Japanese companies were entrusted to them. Although there are still opponents in name, the turnover is not even a third of his, and it is hardly worth mentioning.

Yutaka Narita is currently the director of the Dentsu Liaison Bureau 7 and a director of the board of directors, a Japanese born in South Korea in 29 years, who is very intelligent and aggressive, and at the same time ...... is also half a mother.

Although for his mother, he just helped casually at the beginning, but from Narita Yu's point of view, he has the grace of knowing it. Later, when his mother saw his potential, she immediately increased her investment.

In this way, coupled with the deep penetration of American capital into Japan after World War II, my grandfather also relied on the Far East to get up, and my father also retook his path and shared a big cake in Japan's reconstruction.

It can be said that Li Xu can summon Sayuri Yoshinaga and Yamaguchi Baihui to come and go as soon as they are called, and Dentsu plays a great role.

"So, Narita-san wants a piece of the Olympic Committee's advertising list, right?" asked Li Xu at this time.

"You have to admit that Peter Uberroth is really smart, and he can run the Olympics in a commercial way, and I'm very optimistic about the future. Edward Sr. said.

Li Xu pursed his lips disdainfully, but he was forced to a dead end and had to make changes? The Moscow Olympics claimed to have cost $9 billion, and although there are suspicions of exaggeration, the previous editions of the Games could not be faked, and if the IOC did not acquiesce in Ueberroth's behavior, I am afraid that no city would be willing to host the Olympics in the future.

Of course, he also belongs to the downstream of history to look at the problem, and at this time, he can deduce the business prospects from various information and make bold bets, which is the real talent.

"I think that since Narita-san has such a good relationship with us, it would be nice to be the president of Dentsu. He then said.

Historically, Yutaka Narita should have become the president of Dentsu in '93 and worked until 2011, but it seems good if he could be put in the position early.

That guy Li Xu has seen it a few times, and his impression is not bad, since he is a mother, he should be able to trust it, so that he may be able to have a better time, and he doesn't need to think about controlling various offices or something.

"More on that later. Daddy was noncommittal, "Let's talk about you, II." ”

"Ford agreed?" Li Xu suddenly came to his senses.

"Of course, you're giving them money," Daddy smiled, "and even though the terms aren't very reasonable, they can compromise given the unfamiliarity of the market and the fact that you're taking most of the risk." ”

Then he looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

"Well, what are the conditions, let's hear it. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, "I know very well that they will do everything they can to take advantage." ”

"Oh, it's simple, Ford wants Mazda to come in. Daddy shrugged.

Even if he didn't drink water, Li Xu couldn't help but cough dryly twice, and then took a deep breath: "They're too slippery, aren't they?"

"Japanese cars are gaining ground in the United States, and it just so happens that Ford has acquired a total of 27% of Mazda in the past two years, and you emphasize that you can't seek control, of course they have to find someone to find a way. ”

Li Xu smacked his lips: "What did mom say?"

"She lets you decide for yourself. Daddy continued to shrug his shoulders, "You are paying for it, and you are the chairman of the company." ”

"Hell. Li Xu rubbed his head, "Okay, I don't agree, tell Ford, either agree or refuse as soon as possible, I'll go to Chrysler or even GM." Of course, I don't mind working with Volkswagen if the Germans are willing to accept my terms. ”

"I'll relay it for you. Daddy laughed.

"Also, dear Dad, you're going to have to find me the right guy to be the CEO. ”

"You want me to help you with this kind of thing?" said Daddy, with a look of disbelief that seemed fake.

"Of course. Li Xu said and stood up, "I hope Ford and they can make a decision sooner, and when Christmas is over and the winter vacation comes, I will go to Huaxia again." ”

Of course, Li Xu is inclined to say that they just want more benefits, after all, the conditions he gave are too lucrative, and they seem to be too wronged.

Anyway, the ultimatum has been given, they will come if they want, and if they don't want to, they will get out, just like I just said, if you can't cut off the public, then join the public, and he is not to make money.

After dealing with this matter, Li Xu left his father's office and took Diana out of Wall Street to go to Fifth Avenue, but Diana grabbed him.

"Let's just hang out. She said this, with a weak look on her brow.

"As long as you're happy. Li Xu said immediately.

Then they walked slowly on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and he was always the first to meet such innocuous requests. Even, as long as it doesn't involve core interests, he won't care, which can be described as very spoiled.

First, this is the future wife, and it is also appropriate to coax more, and secondly, although Diana looks no different from before, and she is also very dedicated to her work in the Royal Ballet, Li Xu knows very well that she has not completely stepped out of the shadow that her mother has put on her.

After all, Diana also knew that it was very likely that she would be called Michiko's mother in the future, and it was not a good thing for her husband to have such a strong mother.

What's more, the reality is really terrible, she is just a little white rabbit, yearning for freedom, but afraid of the storm, so Li Xu will give her time to adjust herself.

For now, at least, Diana was firmly in his hands, and as for the reason, she had always maintained the habit of coming once a week whenever he was on the East Coast, calling before she came, not when she arrived, and at least twice a week if she wasn't in the United States.

Cute silly Bai Tian, she listened to all his words, and did it meticulously.

The two of them went shopping for almost an afternoon, and then watched another movie, well, the latest military training romance film "The Officer and the Gentleman" produced and released by Paramount, with British actor Pierce Brosnan as the leading actor. It's not bad, although the movie theater is not full, but there are two-thirds of the attendance, that is, there are very few theaters that are released.

Well, Paramount arranged 350 theaters.

Don't think that this number is very small, it is already good in this era, even the second part of "Star Wars", in the case of the success of the first part, in the case of the premiere of the first film, only more than 100 theaters were arranged in the first week, and then slowly increased.

In the first week, 1,000 theaters will be released at the same time, and there are only a few directors such as Coppola and Spielberg, such as the first part of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" released in June, and the results are worthy of this treatment.

As for the higher, 2,000 theaters will be released at the same time or something, now it's not even a thought, the current cinema is not the multi-hall type that will be in 30 years, it is still the kind of seven or eight hundred or even thousands of people.

In fact, the treatment of 1,000 theaters in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" lasted for two weeks, then fell to more than 600, and remained until the end.

After all, the space is large enough to make the sound and sound effects good enough, and Dolby Labs' better surround sound will not be launched until next year, and then pushed to the theater owner for transformation due to a series of reasons such as attendance, so arranging 350 theaters to release is already considered Paramount to be very face-saving

"In fact, I invested in this film. During dinner at a French restaurant, after Diana chatted for a while about the plot of the movie, Li Xu said.

"Really?" said Diana, surprised.

"Of course, you know, I have a film company in Los Angeles where I get a lot of scripts every day, and I look at them once in a while, and I pick this one out of a bunch of scripts at a glance. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "My vision is as good as ever, isn't it?"

"I'm starting to want to say bad things about this movie now. Diana couldn't help but pout.

"That's your freedom, my dear, but before that I warn you, it's unjust. Li Xu coughed lightly, then grabbed her hand and said, "If you like this kind of movie, I will make more in the future, how about it?"

"This ...... Whatever you want. "It's really funny to have a happy look, but to pretend to be indifferent.

"I happen to have a novel in my hand that is about to be adapted into a movie, maybe you can help me read it," Li Xu continued, "Also, will you come with me to San Francisco for Thanksgiving?"

His tone was very casual, as if he was saying something very ordinary, Diana paused, and then lowered her head a little shyly: "Okay." ”
