Chapter 200: Blue River

This is the first time Li Xuan has had a face-to-face conversation with Xu Xiwen, as the king of comedy before the Zhou Xingchi era, the style of "black humor" has influenced a generation very much, and even people can find a trace of Xu Xiwen from Zhou Xingchi's "nonsensical" movie style.

In short, this is a filmmaker that Li Xuan likes very much.

"Mr. Xu, are you going to the United States to make a film?" Li Xuan asked Xu Xiwen casually, and as he spoke, he also looked at Chenglong and Chen Xikang who were standing on the side.

Chen Xikang is also one of the top executives of Golden Harvest, and he is He Yichang's right-hand man, and sometimes does some work as a film producer. However, because his English is very good, he is also responsible for the cooperation between Golden Harvest and some film companies in Europe and the United States. For example, Chenglong went to the United States for the first time to participate in "Killer Trench", and he was solely responsible.

"yes." Xu Xiwen nodded with little interest, looked at the suitcase in Li Xuan's hand and said, "It seems that Mr. Li is also going out." ”

"Haha, I'm on the same page as your big goal." Li Xuan smiled and continued: "But you're going to Los Angeles, I'm going to Seattle. ”

"Seattle?"

Li Xuan nodded and replied, "Well, I invested in a small company over there, and now I have something to deal with." ”

"Mr. Li still has a company in the United States?" Xu Yiwen let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Sure enough, he is young and promising, this Spring Festival stall Xu Mou lost convincingly." ”

"Uh."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Xu's movie box office is so good, how can he lose again......"

This time, before Li Xuan could finish speaking, Xu Xiwen waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "I don't like to watch box office results, but I like to watch movies sell or not." This point of "Modern Bodyguard" is a step worse than "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”

"Then I'm just the opposite of Mr. Xu, I like to watch the box office the most." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and laughed softly: "After all, only when the box office is high, can we, the owners of film companies, get more money." ”

"Haha, Mr. Li is really a lover." Xu Yiwen patted Li Xuan's shoulder with a smile and continued: "But ......"

"But?"

"But Mr. Li guessed a little wrong." Xu Xiwen looked at the boarding prompt screen and chuckled: "We're not going to Los Angeles, we're going to Atlanta." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xu Xiwen's answer made Li Xuan stunned for a moment, Atlanta is the capital of Georgia in the United States, located on the east coast of the United States, but it is 108,000 miles away from Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States.

"Cannonball Racing was filmed in Georgia?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.

"Well, let's shoot a few shots in Georgia first, so I'll have to rush to the show as soon as possible with Aaron." Xu Yiwen smiled bitterly and continued: "However, this is probably the most depressing trick for me and Ah Long. ”

"What's wrong?"

Xu Yiwen pointed to Chenglong, who was not very interested on the side, and replied without caring about Chen Xikang's face next to him: "These two tricks not only have few scenes, but the roles arranged are still themselves, do you think we can not be depressed?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a short exchange, Li Xuan and Xu Xiwen boarded the plane to Seattle in the United States alone.

In fact, when he was at the airport, Li Xuan wanted to ask Xu Xiwen how the relationship between Xu Xiwen and his younger brother Xu Xijie was, but in the end he held back, the relationship between the two brothers should not be bad enough to part ways.

In later generations, the two brothers turned against each other, but it was Xu Yijie who not only helped Xinyicheng make a "Best Partner", but was poached by Xinyicheng even together, which led to the collapse of the Xu brothers company that Xu Yiwen worked so hard to work for, which led to a series of grievances and grievances later.

And now, Li Xuan only asked Xu Yijie to make a film, and it has not reached the point of poaching people at all.

This time, Li Xuan went to Seattle for nothing else, but Microsoft was finally going to change from a partnership company to a registered company, and he, the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, had to rush over to deal with some things.

And just at the end of last year, Bill? Gates' strong social connections have finally helped Microsoft take a key step in its history. In November 1980, Microsoft, a small company, was awarded a contract by computer giant IBM to provide the CP/M operating system (86-DOS) for use in the IBM personal computers that were about to be sold.

Once this contract is signed, it marks a big step towards the supremacy of the system at Microsoft!

But what made Li Xuan smack was that when he signed this contract, Microsoft's dozens of programmers did not have such a system in their hands at all. But it turned out to be Bill? Gates stood out from hundreds of small software companies in Seattle and got this significant order. In the end, Microsoft's solution was to buy the rights to use a system from a programmer in Seattle for $50,000 and rewrite it as the disk system software that IBM needed.

This trick is completely an empty glove white wolf!

Li Xuan is sure that Bill behind this? The social relations behind Gates have made great efforts, you must know that American companies, especially large companies, are very fond of looking for bank loans for financing. And the bank that IBM often lends to is Bill? Grandpa Gates served as vice president of First Intercontinental Bank.

The exchange of interests between money and money has been carried out covertly in the deep waters of the large capital market of the United States.

……”

Under the dark starry sky, by the quiet river, a roaring bonfire pierced the silence of the night, bringing a trace of warmth to those who were lonely. More than a dozen lying or sitting people were gathered around the campfire, listening quietly to the Asian man sitting due north playing his guitar and humming a song they had never heard before.

This is a love song with a quiet and affectionate tune, which makes the listener seem to see a gentle and beautiful girl on the other side of life, quietly waiting for her arrival.

That girl, warm and beautiful......

"Bang Bang Bang-"

The song gradually came to an end, and the dozen or so people sitting around the bonfire seemed to be unable to disturb the quiet atmosphere, and even the applause was much lighter.

"Hey, Xuan, you're singing this awesome!" Paul? Alan took a twig and flicked the fire, and continued to compliment, "I hear that I want to get married." ”

"Oh! Alan, I believe anyone who says this, forget what you say. "Steve? Balmer raised his head and said with an exaggerated expression: "You're a playboy, which time didn't you invite those strippers to the Gates bachelors' party?" ”

"Wow-"

Li Xuan pretended to exclaim, put down the guitar in his hand and looked at Steve? Balmer laughed, "Looks like you must have had a great time in your free time. ”

Steve? Is Balmer Bill? Gates's classmates, since the last time Li Xuan said that Microsoft was loosely managed, Mr. Bill Sr. personally stepped out to take care of Steve, who was already working at Procter & Gamble? Balmer persuaded his son's company, and he is now a commercial manager at Microsoft. Maybe it's because of Li Xuan's half of the "introduction", Steve? Balmer now has a good relationship with Li Xuan.

"Of course, how can you have a party without drinking and beautiful women." Bill? As he spoke, Gates picked up a bottle of beer, raised it and shouted, "But now that Microsoft has registered, then we all wish Microsoft better and better, let's have a toast together!" ”

"Cheers!"

"Oh yes, cheers."

"The more you do it, the better!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a burst of coaxing, everyone also raised their own wine bottles, and after a burst of ping-pong bang, they raised their wine glasses and drank them.

"Ahemβ€”"

Suddenly a sharp cough interrupted the quiet atmosphere, and the crowd fled to see Paul? Alan was coughing with a flushed face, perhaps because he was coughing quickly and uncomfortably, and kept rubbing his neck with his hands.

"Oh, Alan, don't you drink now?" Steve? Balmer teased as he held up his bottle.

Paul? Alan waved his hand and said with an unhappy face: "I don't know what's going on, my neck hurts when I drink today." ”

"Aha, that's when you watched the striptease last night and shouted so loudly that you broke your throat!" Steve? Balmer mercilessly exposed Paul? Allen's true face.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Paul's this time? Alan didn't answer, and just threw out a middle finger.

Looking at the group of people who were making trouble, Li Xuan looked at Bill? Gates said, "Terry, I didn't expect Chirio to be so beautiful, it's such a great place to have a bonfire!" ”

"Pretty now? no! no! no! "Bill? Gates smiled mysteriously, pointed to the quiet Hood Canal not far away, and smiled: "Wait, it will be more beautiful." ”

"Wait?"

"Oh! No, don't wait, now you can see the real miracle! "Bill? Gates suddenly looked at the river and shouted.

Li Xuan turned his head in confusion and looked at the Hood Canal, and in just a moment, everything in front of him made Li Xuan open his mouth slightly in surprise.

In the dark and quiet river, a faint blue light suddenly lit up. Gradually, there were more and more points of light, and in a moment, the entire river became a sea of blue.

How can a river that glows blue not be a miracle!
