Chapter 787
Murdoch really couldn't understand what Chen Jie asked this time and agreed to his invitation, but this did not prevent Murdoch from meeting Chen Jie, after all, in Murdoch's plan, after he acquired 20th Century Fox, he would also strengthen cooperation with Longteng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info movie, he obviously doesn't have Chen Jie in the field. His main intention in acquiring 20th Century Fox is still what Chen Jie thinks, using 20th Century Fox as a springboard to build his own media empire. If Murdoch can get Chen Jie's support, then the movie doesn't have to be laissez-faire at all. On the contrary, it can become a profitable project. This is one of the reasons why Murdoch came into contact with Macridge earlier than Chen Jie remembers.
In fact, Murdoch also wanted to meet Chen Jie, but Murdoch originally planned to have a good chat with Chen Jie after the successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox. It's a pity that Long Teng was later involved in the battle for 20th Century Fox, which made Murdoch really want to meet Chen Jie as soon as possible, but it's a pity that Chen Jie rejected Murdoch under the pretext of making a movie. When Murdoch extended an invitation to Chen Jie for the second time, Murdoch felt that things seemed to be complicated for him. He sees Mr. Chen as just an excuse for the shareholders of 20th Century Fox. So he really didn't take Chen Jie very seriously, he had already arranged the meeting with Chen Jie again after his successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox, but what Murdoch didn't expect was. His third invitation, Chen Jie, actually agreed. But it's okay to meet Chen Jie in advance, if you can reach a good consensus with Chen Jie. That didn't just help me a lot when I bought 20th Century Fox on my own. It may even be possible to reduce a lot of trouble in this acquisition plan.
At noon the next day, Chen Jie came to the place he had made an appointment with Murdoch, a Cantonese-style teahouse in Los Angeles' Chinatown. This teahouse is one of the industries of Hongmen, otherwise Chen Jie would really be a little afraid to come! There are really not many people in the United States who don't know Chen Jie now, especially in Chinatown. So it's better to find a place with better confidentiality! And at the same time, Situ Haojie finally made an appointment with Marvin Davis for lunch this day。 He wanted to inadvertently tell Marvin Davis about Chen Jie's loan. Although this is not the best time to put the news out. But it was an opportunity to get the word out. Otherwise, I don't know when I will wait for such an opportunity next time. The most important thing is that Chen Jie's time in the United States is really running out.
After ordering some refreshments in the teahouse, Chen Jie sat there quietly waiting for Murdoch's arrival. After a while, the waiter in the teahouse opened the door of the private room where Chen Jie was, and a man in his fifties with glasses walked in. It was Rupert Murdoch, the protagonist of Chen Jie's meeting this time.
"Hello Jerry, I'm Rupert Murdoch. I've been friends with you for a long time, and I'm finally going to see you on my phone today! Murdoch stretched out his hand and said with a smile after seeing Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also held Murdoch's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Murdoch is too polite, it should be me to apologize to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Murdoch has sent me two invitations before, but unfortunately I was entangled in things at the time, and I really didn't have the time or energy to meet Mr. Murdoch, so I decided to refuse Mr. Murdoch's invitation, and please Mr. Murdoch Don't be surprised!" ”
"Call me Murdoch, that sounds kind. Speaking of which, I can't blame you entirely, but I also blame me for ignoring Jerry's love for movies! Murdoch said with a smile.
"There's a saying in my hometown that says it's no more than three. So when I received your invitation this time, I really couldn't refuse. To make up for my first two faux pas. Today I chose this teahouse in Chinatown. I don't think Murdoch has tried our special Chinese refreshments. I'd love to give it a try! I'm sure they won't let you down! Chen Jie looked at Murdoch with a smile and said.
"Yes! Then I'm going to have a good taste! Murdoch said with a smile.
After the two sat down, they just chatted, and of course they ate a lot of refreshments. After eating a shrimp dumpling, Murdoch was completely conquered by the Chinese food culture. It is not surprising that in terms of food culture alone, the Chinese food culture is indeed much stronger than the European and American food culture. This made people like Murdoch, who have eaten bread steak fried chicken salad for half his life, suddenly taste the Chinese diet, which is the most delicious delicacy, and of course felt surprised.
"The food in China is so amazing, I have never eaten anything so delicious. It's been a long time since I've eaten so much, and it's really a test for my stomach! Murdoch said, leaning back in his chair.
Chen Jie smiled after listening to Murdoch's words, picked up the teapot on the side, brought Murdoch a cup of tea, and said, "Let's try our Huaxia Tieguanyin tea again." It is not as strong as coffee, but it has a unique flavor, and the faint aroma of tea lingers in the mouth for a long time. ”
Murdoch was not polite after listening to Chen Jie's words, picked up the teacup and smelled it, it was indeed fragrant tea. It makes people feel very comfortable. After taking a sip, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and the feeling and smell were really far from good. It is no different from drinking ordinary water, and I was about to ask Chen Jie what is special about this tea, but after opening my mouth, I found that my taste buds were stimulated again. I felt that I was gasping for breath with the smell of tea. So Murdoch's words changed.
"It's amazing, like Jerry said, this tea doesn't have the richness of coffee, but it has a unique flavor." Murdoch looked at Chen Jie and said, "If I have the chance, I should really go to China to have a good look, their food alone has convinced me!" ”
"Hehe, that will take a lot of Murdoch's time, you must know that Chinese food culture is very broad and profound. The main cuisines are divided into eight. Each cuisine has its own characteristics, and the refreshments we ate today are biased towards Cantonese cuisine. It is a major feature of Cantonese cuisine, but it does not fully represent Cantonese cuisine. Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Amazing Chinese culture, amazing food. I was really surprised! Murdoch said.
After chatting with Murdoch for a while, Chen Jie finally entered today's topic.
"Let's get down to business, I'm sure Murdoch didn't just want to have tea with me and chat with me when you invited me three times. Of course, if that's the case, I'd feel very honored! Chen Jie looked at Murdoch and said.
