Chapter Ninety-Two: The Cow Card Project

"Don't go. "Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Although hype scandals have a strong auxiliary role in the promotion of film and television dramas, Liang Baoguang disdains to use such means to attract the public's attention. Compared with those utilitarians who do everything to sell more movie tickets, and even do not hesitate to publicize their family ugliness, he doesn't care about the box office at all, "Even if the box office increases a little, the movie is still the same movie." ”

"You can say things like that, and that's because you haven't tasted defeat yet. Although Scarlett Johansson is the dream lover of thousands of young men, her star career and life can be called rugged and bumpy, often because of her overly mature and beautiful appearance and the script she likes, and she has met several scumbags, "Can you imagine what it is like to lose to a kleptocratic addict?"

"You mean Lindsay Lohan?" is also a relationship between staying in a hotel and talking about life, Liang Baoguang knows Scarlett Johansson quite well, and the only actress in the entire Hollywood who is regarded as her lifelong enemy is probably Lindsay Lohan, who stole her opportunity to star in "Natural Pair". In May and July 2007, Lindsay Lohan was exposed to negative news about drug driving and drunk driving, respectively, and the name of addict must be true, but this is the first time he has heard about kleptomania, "The amount of information in your sentence is really large." ”

Scarlett Johansson shrugged, Liang Baoguang is already a person in the entertainment industry, and he will know about the chicken and dog bits and pieces in the dark corners of Hollywood sooner or later, so she did not deny that the "kleptomantic addict" she just said is Lindsay Lohan, "Sooner or later you will know, and now it is nothing to understand." ”

"The news was exposed, and I don't know how many young people with a glass of heart are about to cry and break their bowels. "Liang Baoguang's heart is like glass, not that their hearts are clear, but delicate and fragile, and a little bump is a piece of land. Seeing the goddess who has been in love for many years throwing herself into her arms and hugging others, and involuntarily hooking a leg back when she is being held, this is probably the recent mood of Lindsay Lohan's teenage fans.

"So if you want to succeed in this circle, you have to do whatever it takes, and if she looks like that, someone is still willing to invest in her to make a movie, isn't it because of the high attention?" Scarlett Johansson made her debut in TV series when she was eight years old, and has been in Vanity Fair for nearly 20 years.

"It's okay to use a little bit of flexibility, but it's too much to be unscrupulous. Anyone with a little insight knows that the art of war pays attention to "winning with the right and winning with the odd", but the man's self-esteem always hopes to win the dignified and upright, and if he is said to be opportunistic, he will be unhappy even if he wins. Liang Baoguang is the same, in his opinion, using hype scandals and other sideways to add help to the film's results is a manifestation of unconfidence in the movie itself, since he knows that the movie is not good enough, why can't he use more dim sum when shooting?

Although there are huge differences in the way things are done, Scarlett Johansson doesn't want to quarrel with Liang Baoguang on this issue, and after putting away the cigarette case, she got out of bed to brush her teeth, "It's too late today, I'm going to brush my teeth and go to bed later, do you want to brush your teeth together?"

"Walking. Hearing that he could finally sleep, Liang Baoguang was very happy.

Coming to New York means that all of Liang Baoguang's work will enter a normal state, especially the "Burst Drummer", which he has high hopes for, is about to change from a script to a real movie, but his first stop is not the film studio that Yun Jingyi registered for him, but the New York headquarters of Twitter.

Since SXSW, Liang has mobilized all his friends to open accounts, especially on the campus of Harvard University, where he would be treated as an alien if he didn't use Twitter. Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson have also helped a lot, they have a lot of friends in the entertainment industry, and they have attracted many well-known artists to help him promote, so Twitter has been gaining momentum in the past few months.

"Paul, I have to say that I'm far worse than you in marketing. Evan Williams was very convinced of Liang Baoguang, his original positioning of Twitter was "just do it", after all, this was just a game after he gambled with his former partner, but Liang Baoguang spent half a year to show him the majesty of Harvard Business School, "Without you, I would probably still be played around by those SBs." ”

SB also means swear in English, it is the abbreviation of SonofABeach, the son of the beach, Evan Williams was deceived many times when he partnered with a friend in the previous company, and even did not negotiate with him when he finally sold the company, and now he is quite unhappy in retrospect. Fortunately, under the partnership investment model of Liang Baoguang, an angel investor, Twitter became popular, and in six months, it went from a small company of one million to tens of millions, and showed great potential, allowing him to regain his original enthusiasm.

"It's gold that always shines, and if the concept of Twitter is not good, I can't invest in partnering with you. "At that time, it may have been really hot-headed, but after achieving success, Liang Baoguang could pat his chest and say that he is a man with a unique vision, and it is human nature to judge heroes by success or failure," By the way, our company has just started on the road, and the current scale and market share are far from meeting my expectations. ”

"We've been optimizing the program, and I've also hired experts to help adjust the user experience at your suggestion, so I'm not worried about the product, it's our competitors who are really worried. "Evan Williams has taken too many detours, so he has become extra cautious this time," said your college classmate Zuckerberg, who seems to be interested in our blue bird, and has been talking about buying us, and is poaching our engineers. ”

"How many people do you need to keep Twitter going? I think three or four are enough. In terms of IT, Liang Baoguang is indeed a layman, but Evan Williams made Twitter alone, and it is not much more difficult to maintain it than adding a server, so he said something like this, "If he likes to poach people, let him poach them." ”

"What about the acquisition, I heard that they are willing to bid $200 million. For Evan Williams, who was still on the grass stage at the South by Southwest conference half a year ago to recruit users, 200 million US dollars is absolutely astronomical, and if the current company share is calculated, he can get about 40 million, "Although I know that you are not too bad for money, but it is unknown whether Twitter can continue to develop in the face of the inevitable suppression." ”

"Evan, how much money do you think I have?" Liang Baoguang suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Probably...... One or two hundred million?" Evan Williams really doesn't have much concept of this problem, half a year ago he thought that Liang Baoguang probably had a family property of tens of millions of dollars, and it was already AllIn to invest eight million, but during this time, Liang Baoguang successively invested another 25 million dollars, and he also played movies in Hollywood, so he was a little uncertain all of a sudden.

"That's it, Evan, if you feel that the future is really uncertain, I can give you a new option: how about buying your twenty percent stake for $100 million?" Although his face tried his best to remain calm, Liang Baoguang gave himself two thumbs up in his heart, he had never pretended to beep so happily since he was born.

Liang Baoguang didn't have the confidence to say this kind of thing some time ago, but the abnormal shocks in the international financial market in the past few days have caused a major earthquake on Wall Street, even if he desperately retracts his hand, the 1.5 billion US dollars will inevitably become 1.8 billion, and the stimulation of high leverage lies in this.

The whole of North America dares to firmly short the billion-level capital of CDS at a rate of more than five times, only this one has no semicolon, Liang Baoguang once calculated an account, if he let go of his hands and feet to continue to short and the panic in the financial market continued to the same month in 2008, then his harvest will exceed 300 billion US dollars, and the four Bill Gates are not as rich as him. Of course, if Liang Baoguang really dared to take away so much money from Wall Street and major banks, the US government would definitely kill him even if he chased him to Mars, and he himself knew this very well, so one of the main purposes of coming to New York this time was to stop it quickly.

"Anyway, it was born in my hands, and as long as you don't plan to sell the company, I won't quit. Liang Baoguang's words are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Evan Williams, everyone is buying up and not buying down, and he will not think about selling shares if Twitter's development momentum does not stagnate, "But you have to be careful of Zuckerberg, many companies in the industry have gone bankrupt under his run, and we will go public one day in the future......"

"Don't worry, I'm from Harvard Business School, and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology, and he wants to calculate that I owe me a hundred years in the market. "Don't panic when you have money in your hand, even if Zuckerberg is rich, Liang Baoguang doesn't care, when the time comes, whether you use a cow card or a poison pill, you can make the other party's bamboo basket empty, "Today is to see everyone's work status, and I have to go to the film company to see the actors, break it." ”

"Well, if we can move our headquarters to California, it's always weird that a social networking site has its headquarters in Manhattan, New York. Surrounded by companies related to the financial industry, this makes Evan Williams particularly awkward, now that Twitter is so popular, he can't go back to Silicon Valley to show off in front of those who have betrayed him, there is always a feeling of "rich and not returning home, like brocade clothes at night".

"You'll get used to it, I even have a film company in New York. When it comes to film companies, the first thing that comes to mind must be Los Angeles and Hollywood, but Liang Baoguang's film studio is in New York, not because he wants to be a maverick, but because Yun Jingyi hopes that his son can be as close to him as possible.
