Chapter 194: Universal Entertainment
"Xu, wait!"
After breakfast, the group had just walked out of the villa gate not far from the door, and a panting voice sounded behind them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone looked behind them and found that it was Terry, who was in charge of receiving them and others yesterday.
"Terry?"
Looking at the people who caught up, Xu Jiliang shouted suspiciously.
The two are already old acquaintances, and the first two trips to England were the old men such as Qi Bai received by Terry, and Terry spoke fluent Chinese, so they were born twice and became familiar twice.
"I have just been to your place, and the servant said that you had just left the house, so I hurriedly chased after you."
Terry calmed down as he took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, explaining.
"Is there anything urgent? Is there any new notice from the organizing committee of the competition? ”
Xu Jiliang thought that it was probably a new notice from the competition, otherwise Terry would not be in such a hurry to find himself and others.
"No, no, no, this time it's not the organizing committee of the competition, it's a big man who asked me to bring you an invitation."
As he spoke, he pulled out an invitation from his pocket.
"Mr. Allen Lawrence invites you and Mr. Zhang Yang to have lunch at the Sequoia Tree Restaurant at noon."
Although the invitation letter was all stated, Terry mentioned the origin of the matter again.
"Contemptible Allen and Lawrence, I sincerely invite Mr. Xu Jiliang, Mr. Zhang Yang, two ......!"
At the bottom is the signature: Allen Lawrence!
This is what I saw on the invitation letter of Zhang Yang Station, but I don't know this Allen Lawrence at all, what did the other party do when he invited him so for no reason.
Is it because of his status as the deputy head of the cheap Chinese delegation?
Zhang Yang was puzzled by Baidu for a while.
However, after reading the invitation, Xu Jiliang next to him was surprised, and his thoughts were almost the same as those of Zhang Yang.
"Excuse me, Terry, please tell Mr. Lawrence, we will be there on time at noon."
Although I don't know why Lawrence asked for himself and Zhang Yang, Xu Jiliang still agreed, and it was difficult to excuse himself where the identity of the other party was.
"That's great, then I'll go back and tell Mr. Lawrence first."
Terry hurried away after saying that.
When Terry left, everyone at the scene was naturally curious, although Terry was not a big man, but he could be regarded as a government official, what kind of person was worth Terry's personal trip?
And Xu Jiliang's surprise just now was in everyone's eyes.
"Let's move freely first, Xiao Yang and I won't go."
Xu Jiliang didn't explain much, but he wasn't preparing to participate in activities with the group.
"Brother Xu, who is this Lawrence?"
When the two returned to their residence, Zhang Yang did not suppress the curiosity in his heart any longer, and asked Xu Jiliang.
"Allen Lawrence, Vice President of Universal Entertainment!"
Xu Jiliang heard Zhang Yang's question and answered casually.
"It turned out to be the vice president of Universal Entertainment."
Universal Entertainment Zhang Yang naturally knows that since it is taking the road of the entertainment industry, it is natural for large foreign entertainment companies to have a general understanding.
Universal Entertainment, one of Europe's leading film companies, is indeed inferior to a company like Longteng, but the other party is also one of the largest companies in Europe.
"What's the origin of this person?"
I don't know if I want to ask, since the other party invited me, I don't know how I can.
"I met a few times when I went to Europe with a few old men before, and this Lawrence is the son of Alan Fox, the Minister of Culture of the Kingdom of England."
As soon as Zhang Yang heard Xu Jiliang say this, three words came to his mind: the second generation of officials!
"But Lawrence is also a very powerful person, in his thirties, he controlled the power of the entire Universal Entertainment, although he is still nominally the vice president, but he exercises the same rights as the president, by the way, the president of Universal Entertainment is Lawrence's father, Alan Fox!"
Xu Jiliang didn't care much about Lawrence in his words, but when he mentioned Fox, he was full of admiration.
"Fox is the president of Universal Entertainment?"
Zhang Yang was taken aback, he was a high-ranking official and an executive, how could it be?
But Zhang Yang figured it out at once.
A person who is an official in China can only be an official, and no matter what happens in private, officials are absolutely not allowed to do business, but in foreign countries, such things are normal.
Foreigners who run for office require political donations, funded by others or supported by their families, and it is normal for them to sponsor themselves.
This is also the biggest difference between Chinese officials and foreign officials.
When Huaxia became an official, it all relied on high-level promotion, and the so-called election was only a superficial process.
"Xiao Yang, eighty percent of Lawrence's invitation this time is for you!"
Xu Jiliang is not stupid, but after thinking for a while, he understood that Lawrence invited the two, and Zhang Yang was the real protagonist of the two.
"Looking for me?"
Zhang Yang was also stunned, he had never met this Lawrence, how could he come at him.
"I don't know about this, maybe it has something to do with this mystery novel."
Xu Jiliang is not sure, it can only be this reason, no matter how much Xu Jiliang can't think of.
"Hey, whatever, I'll know when the time comes."
Even if Zhang Yang's head wants to break his head, he can't figure out the curves inside.
Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, it's just asking for trouble for a long time, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, you will know when the time comes.
"Not bad."
Xu Jiliang agrees with Zhang Yang's attitude of 'he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills'.
In the following time, the two talked about a lot of things, and Zhang Yang also got to know Lawrence and Fox thoroughly.
Lawrence himself did not have anything to be praised, and the son inherited his father's business.
On the contrary, Alan Fox is very powerful in Zhang Yang's opinion, and he can be described as a legend.
Fox was born into a poor family, and the whole society was in chaos because of the world war at the time.
However, Fox, a poor boy, bribed a battalion commander in the army at the time, successfully became the manager of a factory, and then slowly turned the factory into his own private company.
After the end of the world war, Fox did not stick to the factory, because Fox also knew that after the end of the war, the country would definitely start to check the property, and sooner or later the factory he had embezzled would be discovered, and even he himself would go to prison for embezzling national property.
So Fox decisively sold the factory to a powerful man at a very low price, and then used the money to establish Universal Gaming, the predecessor of Universal Pictures.
Subsequently, Global Gaming also grew bigger and bigger under Fox's wrist, and even attracted many predators, and Fox naturally couldn't resist it, and finally had to give up most of its equity.
After losing the right to be the master of Universal Gaming, Fox simply gave up all power, and finally got the protection of the powerful, and then founded a new company, Universal Pictures.
With the protection of the powerful, coupled with Fox's own skills and interpersonal relationships, Universal Pictures has become one of the top entertainment companies in Europe and the United States in just over 30 years, and then slowly expanded, so that there is now Universal Entertainment!
After listening to Xu Jiliang's words, Zhang Yang was also impressed by his legendary experience!
