Chapter 38: Before the Premiere
In Caesar's impression, many promising companies in his previous life were required to go public, otherwise they were forcibly "injected capital" by the second generation of officials.
As for the "capital" of the "note", it is not known how much real money there is, or just a blank check or even just a verbal promise to "protect the company from being harassed by relevant departments".
It seems different in the United States, but in fact, the investor has just changed from the second generation of officials to a capital giant.
Whether it is the second generation of officials or the capital giants, in short, they are all people who can't see others making a lot of money and forcibly want a piece of the pie.
Fortune magazine's appeal to Caesar was not taken to heart, this must have been a temptation by some behind-the-scenes forces, and no matter what the outcome, no one would be exposed.
As long as the other party maintains restraint and always uses decent means, it is easy to say.
The top priority is the premiere of "Angels in the World", and Caesar has been cautious about avoiding the summer file, so the publicity has been very high-profile, including the small advertisement at the VGL concert, and the wording is also unabashedly proud.
As a result, Caesar's die-hard fans began to take action, not to mention the figures everywhere they were asking for tickets to the premiere, and even fans consciously helped Caesar promote the movie.
In order to repay the love of fans, Caesar decided that the game barcodes released by him in the future will have a lottery function, randomly selecting thousands or tens of thousands of barcodes as the winning numbers, and rewarding two movie tickets or a box of game cartridges.
After the news was released to Guò TV and newspapers, fans were jubilant, and the management of IBM, Intel, and Microsoft were gritting their teeth.
In their eyes, FFF is a potential, even imminent, threat.
The fact that the Playbox console has not purchased any hardware from Intel means that FFF can launch its own brand CPU to the market at any time, and Intel cannot be indifferent to this kind of knife holder in the neck general threat.
By the same token, IBM understands that FFF's desire to enter the home PC market is just a matter of mood.
Microsoft is even worse, Gates knows that he doesn't have any hardware advantage at the moment, and the software has just been educated by Caesar's FFF. This is simply a shame and a slap in the face for Gates, who has always had the ambition to dominate the PC rivers and lakes.
These three companies have no reason to sit back and watch Caesar's FFF company grow and develop, but unfortunately, for a while, they can't think of any effective and decent way to suppress each other.
If it was used in a way that went beyond the rules, they might have dared to think about it before, but now the "Blackwater Company" is no longer a secret.
Blackwater employs a group of people, and everyone knows it, to put it bluntly, most of these people are from some technical nerds, and no one has that much power, and no one wants to cause trouble to their own family or family.
This time, they saw that Caesar had just finished opening VGL and used the guò lottery to promote consoles and game cartridges in disguise, and one by one they began to sour.
IBM President John Opel even publicly accused Caesar in the media, saying that Caesar took advantage of human greed for unfair competition.
As a result, before Caesar could react, Caesar's fans were angry and pulled a banner in front of the IBM headquarters and sat down, which roughly means that we love Caesar and we are happy to spend money on games! John Opel and IBM are stupid!
William Byrne even sent Blackwater employees, armed with stun guns and tranquilizer guns, to protect the sit-in fans.
This incident was well received by Caesar and Caesar fans alike.
When Caesar handed over the management of Blackwater to William Byrne, he explained that as long as the company's good image could be maintained, William Byrne could make full decisions about the business.
Caesar knew that, according to the remembered timetable, the U.S. military would enter Grenada in less than two months.
Blackwater had to fight to play its part in the war in order to get orders in the Gulf War and the War on Terror that followed.
Only by showing achievements in the war can Blackwater become a giant in the world of personal bodyguards of the rich.
There is no such thing as an unjust war in Caesar's heart, which is righteous in war?
Some say the Great Patriotic War...... The Nazis also fought the Great Patriotic War at the end of the period, but who dares to say that it is righteous except for the stupid fork Huang Na and Ona?
Caesar's rule is that except for Huaxia, there is no country that Blackwater's mercenaries can't go to.
Including North Korea, you have to beat those who should be beaten, what kind of lips and teeth are cold is nonsense, you are a lip when someone else, and people must be willing to treat you as a tooth! The three fat men owe the goods.
As long as William Byrne remembers that Blackwater is a company that does the dirty work for the Pentagon, it is a decent, decent company that does not disturb the people, does not abuse prisoners.
Caesar doesn't want to be like the Blackwater Company in his previous life, becoming a company that had to change its name because of its unscrupulous guidance, and even if it changed its name, it would be scolded by tens of thousands of people with a stain on its back.
On September 10, at half past two in the afternoon, the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood spread the red carpet in front of the door and opened its doors to welcome guests.
Blackwater's security guards pulled a cordon, three layers of defense circles, and three layers of outer layers, blocking the reporters in the inner circle and the surrounding fan base.
Interestingly, the reporters paid a lot of attention to the Blackwater security personnel. Because this is the first time Blackwater has been unveiled in public since its establishment.
The previous VGL didn't want to upset the fans, and the Blackwaters just mixed in the crowd in plain clothes just in case.
This time, the Blackwater guards are dressed in a unified manner, and the Blackwater security guards who are close to celebrities in the inner circle wear body armor, black suits, black sunglasses, black headsets, anesthetic guns, and stun guns.
The Blackwater Security attire on the outer ring is identical, except that the stun gun has been eliminated and a custom automatic pistol has been added.
There are also faceless snipers on the outermost periphery, wearing black combat suits and bulletproof tactical vests.
The unified logo is the Blackwater logo on the chest, a cute black, white and yellow bear paw print logo.
When the reporters were still filming the black water, all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods in the entertainment industry arrived one after another.
The first wave was sensible rock stars, they were invited by Caesar to attend, and besides, this was also the premiere of the movie, not a matter of the music industry, and they didn't have to and shouldn't play big names, so they all arrived early.
First up were the four rock bands that VGL was out of, as well as Rolling Stone, Michael Jackson, R.E.M., Eagles, The Gate, Sting, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Queen, U2, and the uninvited Paul McCartney......
The presence of Paul McCartney, one of the Beatles' giants, was something that Caesar never expected.
The reason why the previous bands and individuals were invited was either because of the MV and the unplugged concert, and the two sides had contact.
The so-called once raw and twice ripe, Caesar simply shamed once and handed over the invitation early.
As for not inviting Paul McCartney...... It was because Lennon had just died, and Caesar was not sure if the other party was in this mood, so in line with the principle of trying not to be annoying, Caesar simply ignored this person and the entire Beatles.
Paul McCartney called the FFF front desk a day in advance to inform Caesar that he was going to attend the premiere.
Caesar was pleasantly surprised to arrange the reception in person.
It is said that with Caesar's influence in the music industry today, he should not be as hands-on as a little fan, but ...... That's Paul McCartney!
Rockers may be alternative, they may be rebellious, they may be individuality and freedom, but that doesn't mean that rockers are all shameless bastards.
Who is Paul McCartney, one of the Beatles' duo.
What is the Beatles' place in the modern music scene?
There are only two giants in the Chinese Peking Opera industry, Zhou Xinfang and Mei Lanfang. No matter how awesome a young actor is, he will be in awe when he hears these two names, this is the status of the founder of an art category.
Cross talk actors also have this attitude when they hear "not afraid of being poor". It was he who sued the world, what should cross talk say.
Elvis Presley and The Beatles were the ones who told the world what rock 'n' roll should be.
The new-age layman can spit on most of Elvis' songs as hard to listen to, or they can say that the Beatles' music is too light and corny.
But industry insiders must be in awe of these names, and without Elvis Presley, Lennon, and Paul McCartney, the form of rock 'n' roll would have been explored by another wave of people for some time.
So Caesar happily arranged a car and hotel for Paul McCartney, who flew in from England, even though Paul had at least two properties in the United States.
But because of Paul's personality of what to say, the meeting became very interesting.
[Recently, the state is very poor, every time I get home very late, and then I am in a hurry to code words.] I must be dissatisfied, but I don't want to stop. 】
[Again, people are inert, and there are two such things as breaking off...... How many tj www.biquge.info are broken and changed into habits, and habits become natural. 】
[Finally, cheekily begging for tickets and collection~]
