Martin seemed to be saying this casually, but I kept it to my heart. For a person of his status, nothing he says or does will be purposeless.

I nodded calmly: "You're right, I have some conflicts with the Gambino family. ”

Martin whistled, and to be honest, he really didn't look like the kind of Jew I remembered, because he was very easy-going and not serious at all. "Chen, you're amazing. You've only been in Hollywood for a few months, and you've become the No. 1 star in the United States, and then you've messed with the No. 1 family in the underworld in the United States...... I don't know if I should compliment you or say something else. ”

He was teasing me, and his tone was light-hearted, like a conversation between friends. I don't know for what purpose this Rothschild would be so affectionate to me, but at least I know very well: he doesn't have this attitude towards anyone, that is, he has a purpose.

"I've never had a lot of luck." I said it casually.

Martin sat a little closer to me, and I could even smell the cologne on him, and the guy thought for a moment, and then as if sighing, he said, "Actually, I've heard about you." After all, Hollywood is such a big place, and a little bit of news will immediately spread all over the city. And...... Stephen also mentioned you to me, and he thinks you're a nice lad. ”

Look at such a person my age. It may seem strange to call me a "lad" in such an old-fashioned tone, but in his capacity, he is indeed qualified to speak in this tone.

I thought about it for a while and decided to have a showdown with him!

"Martin." I looked at him and tried to say in the most sincere tone: "If you want to say something." Let's just say it. I'm also willing to listen to my friends' opinions. ”

Martin smiled, he laughed, and he raised his hand with a bit of a dashing momentum: "You went to Stephen, it's a very good way." In Hollywood, no one can afford not to give face to director Spielberg. But have you thought about it, Stephen can't protect you all the time, this movie will be filmed for a maximum of half a year, plus hairstyle and release, at most a year. The Gambino family may not be in trouble with you during this time. But what about after this? Stephen is not obligated to help you all the time. Although he admires you and also thinks that Hollywood owes you a favor. But the favor is over, and no one is obligated to offend the Gambino family for your sake. ”

I didn't speak, just watched him quietly and waited for his next step. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

Martin looked at my face, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and whispered, "Or ...... You didn't plan to stay in Hollywood for long? Are you going to leave after this ticket? ”

I was amazed! This guy actually guessed all my previous plans!

Then he stopped looking at my face, and muttered to himself, "But even so, you will not be able to escape the Gambino family." If they really want to get you in trouble...... Hehe, you invested in this film company and spent a lot of money. And if you're gone, the film company can't take it with you. Even if you're going to sell the studio. Gauci, that old man, can give you some problems. It's a place where everyone is realistic, and no one will go out of their way to help you without benefits. My fear is that after this movie is over, without the umbrella of Stephen, you probably won't want to siphon your funds out of here! ”

I was silent.

Indeed, the film should make about $300 million in current calculations, deducting $100 million in benefits for Spielberg's DreamWorks. I did get nearly $200 million. But what about after that? I've invested a lot of money in this film company! And at the moment the film company still owes a loan from the bank! I want to go. Definitely going to sell the film company because I can't carry this baggage all the time...... However, if the Gambino family really wants to mess with me, they can do some small things.

For example, in the film company to make some shady means of attack, such as shooting, or some malicious underworld methods, then make people panic, who else dares to take over this company?

And if this company doesn't take action, I have no umbrella, so I can only put it in Hollywood...... Unless I'm willing to file for bankruptcy myself!

I've invested tens of millions in this company before and after, and I have to repay the bank loan, and in the end, I'm afraid I won't make much money.

If that's the case, all my efforts will be in vain. And a year was wasted. At the same time, he also erected himself a great enemy like the Gambino family.

Pay for one's whistle...... The gains outweigh the losses!

These thoughts swirled around in my head, and then I saw Martin's seemingly smiling face, and my heart moved, and I couldn't help but whisper and probe, "Is it ...... Are the Rothschilds also interested in the business of film companies? I looked at him: "But, as far as I know, the Rothschilds seem to have always only run banks and financial institutions, right?" ”

Martin smiled, mysteriously, and then he pointed to the hall, "Do you think this place is also a financial institution?" ”

I was silent.

Indeed, this place is all run by Martin!

"To be fair, in the last century, our family was indeed in the business of financial institutions. But you see, there are quite a few industries that make money now. And as I said just now, the elders in the family think that I am probably the most unusual Rothschild in the family in the past two hundred years. For me, I'm interested in everything that makes money. ”

He smiled with a cunning touch, the cunning characteristic of a Jewish businessman.

Suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in my heart...... Perhaps, tonight's encounter is also an opportunity for me?

"Martin, let's just say it, what do you want?"

Martin didn't answer my question directly, he just looked around deliberately, George was still twisting his ass with his arms around the two beauties, and he looked like he was enjoying it. I have to say that this playboy is indeed very charming. And he looks a lot like Hollywood superstar Clark Geppen in the fifties and sixties.

"Do you see George? He was my personal friend, and he inspired me to get involved in the film industry. I love trying new things, and this club has made a lot of friends in the film industry for me. When a person stands next to a gold mine all day long, his friends are making money in the gold mine, but he is not tempted...... There are no such people in the world. Martin deliberately whispered slowly: "Chen, your deeds surprise me, you can say that you have created a Hollywood miracle, you have a special experience...... But don't you think that if you just make a fortune here and leave, for such a miracle and such an opportunity that God has given you...... Is it too wasteful? You now have an unrivalled fame, and you have the favor of most of Hollywood's celebrities. Have a big favor. You can summon a group of big-name stars to work for you at any time. I've studied the history of Hollywood, and I've never had a newcomer get your foundation as good - yours is simply enviable! ”

"It's just as eye-catching." I aptly added. deliberately said lightly: "That's why Gao Qi can't wait to kick me out." ”

But at the same time, Martin's words had to move me.

Indeed, as he said, if I have this foundation and can continue to mix in Hollywood, then it will not be difficult for me to become a new movie mogul. But I also have my difficulties...... After all, I am an underworld, and my main jīng power cannot be put on the film career. This is a world of media, once the media no longer owes me favors in the future, and casually exposes my underworld background, then can I still mix?

When the time comes, the FBI will be the first to come to me for trouble - in fact, they also want to trouble me now, the FBI definitely knows what I do, but in this situation, I am too popular, they can only be cautious.

"You have a point, but I have my problems." I replied bluntly: "I can't continue to grow in Hollywood." My Background...... Well, also, the current Gambino family will not sit idly by and watch me become big. ”

Martin took a light puff on his cigar and then let out the smoke of Daisè in his mouth......

"Indeed, the leader of the Great Canadian Circle, the smuggling oligarchy of the West Coast, the partner of Thorin, the friend of the Shamrock family...... I'm afraid none of this can make the Gambino family have any scruples......" Martin smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a flying look: "So, what if you add a new identity?" For example...... Friends of the Rothschilds? With such an identity, can Gao Qi still ignore it? ”

My heart pounded!

"The Rothschilds used to have many friends, and being our friends has made indescribable brilliant achievements in the end...... For example, Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of Germany, for example, Morgan, for example...... Rockefeller! Martin's tone was an understatement, with an indescribable power of temptation: "Although these friends have a record of betraying us in the end, it is undeniable that the identity of a friend of the Rothschild family is enough to help you withstand most troubles." ”

I swallowed hard and frothed...... In fact, my mouth was already dry, my mouth was dry, and there was nothing for me to swallow, so I took the bottle and poured myself some wine, swallowed it in one gulp, and looked at Martin: "What the hell do you want?!" ”

"I want a profitable business." Martin replied with a smile.

********************

"Everybody knows that the film industry is very profitable, even more so than drugs." Martin spoke at this time, already with a bit of awe-inspiring momentum: "And I'm interested in all profitable businesses...... You see, now the financial markets are very stable, there is no place for the world's large sums of money, and in our banks owned by the Rothschilds, there are large amounts of idle money...... Oh my God, it's a waste and a crime to let this money lie down and sleep in the bank! He smiled exaggeratedly: "And I, on the other hand, am very interested in you." As I said, you have an innate miracle and advantage that I am afraid no one will get in another three hundred years! No newcomer to Hollywood has ever had such a foundation as yours! It would be a shame if such a foundation was used only once and then thrown away! So, I hope to get you this opportunity to make money! ”

I looked at him, "I still don't understand...... If the Rothschilds want to invest in films, you can buy a film company. Or...... Look for Spielberg, who is also Jewish. ”

"It's different." Martin shook his head, then he looked at me and smiled sincerely, "You don't seem to know much about a family like ours...... You see. Although I have the surname Rothschild, I am not the only Rothschild in the family! The family is traditional, low-key, and has always preferred to focus only on finance. Doesn't pay much attention to other industries...... I, on the other hand, am an alternative. But I couldn't convince my family to go into the film industry in a big way...... As for what you said about buying a film company...... Which one do you think I can acquire? Warner? Paramount? Fox? That would require tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars at every turn! I'll be honest with you: I don't have that much influence over my family yet. But except for those giant companies, I don't look down on other companies. I don't want to buy a new film company and start from scratch in the industry. That's a waste of time! What I need is efficiency! To put it simply, it is to spend the least amount of money in the shortest possible time. At the same time, it can also make achievements in the film industry...... And make money! ”

I laughed.

This Martin is very frank, what a wonderful person.

Well...... Spend the least amount of money in the most time. Make the most money......

Nonsense! What businessman in the world wouldn't want that?!

But think about it...... I have to admit that it seems that my current film company really meets this condition!!

"Dear Chen, I know that your jīng power will not be put into the film industry. But you can't waste this gift that God has given you. So, we might as well cooperate. Martin stated his conditions: "I am willing to pay for a part of your film company." Then this company will belong to you and me! What I got was a lucrative business, and according to my estimates, the studio could continue to grow. In less than five years, it can be at least no less than Stephen's DreamWorks. Of course, we're focused on filmmaking. And you, you don't need to spend too much jīng effort to run this company, let's find experts to do the work...... Well, find a few managers, a few experts to be the CEO and management of the company, and we can use this company to make us a lot of money. ”

What else do I want to say. Martin had stopped me: "I know what you're trying to say...... Are you worried about your underworld background? Or are you worried that the FBI or the media will get you in trouble? Dig your bottom? Hindering the company's growth? Believe me. Perhaps for you, these are difficulties, but for Rothschild, these are not problems. He even laughed at me jokingly: "If you still have concerns, I can even call the FBI director right now and ask him to promise that he won't trouble you again." ”

Although he was joking in tone...... But I believe it's not a joke! For the Rothschilds...... It's something you can do so easily!!

If I don't like it now, then I'm a fool!!

What do I have to worry about? At most, the worst outcome: I work with him, but he grows big in the company, and finally embezzles my shares and takes the company for himself...... It doesn't matter to me. I didn't plan to continue this company, I planned to make a profit and leave. The company gave it to him. I don't care!

And, looking at Martin's appearance, he doesn't seem to be planning to do that...... After all, this company was built on me. At least for the short term, he can't live without me. The company needs my fame, my popularity, my charisma to attract Hollywood talent! That's what Martin values most!

Even if he abandons me and excludes me in the future...... I'm not thinking about it anyway, as long as I make enough money, the company will give it to him.

Bottom line: We take what we need for this deal!

Martin looked at me and said slowly, "I am willing to contribute to the purchase of fifty percent of the shares of your company, so that the company will belong to us jointly...... And at the same time, I can give you a small gift...... That is: this company will enjoy the treatment of a peripheral business of the Rothschild family. You will win the friendship of all the banks and financial institutions owned by the Rothschild family, and your name will be marked with an "R" on our client list! When you need a loan...... You will find that such treatment will bring you countless conveniences! ”

"Deal!" I didn't hesitate to speak.

Martin was stunned for a moment. He looked at me: "You don't have to think about it? Or, do the math of a specific number? ”

This time it was my turn to laugh, and I looked at him and squinted: "Martin...... I'm clear about it, and so are you. If it weren't for your help, I'd be leaving Hollywood after finishing this movie in my hand. This company will be a garbage to me, garbage that can be thrown away at any time! But now, your joining has turned this company into a treasure again...... It's like pie falling from the sky. I'm not a greedy person - it's all accidental pies anyway, and I don't want pies to be big or small. ”

Martin stared at me for a few moments before he sighed, "I really don't know, you have the courage...... Or reckless. I like your honesty, though. I like to make friends with honest people. ”

********************

When coming out of this club. I still feel like I'm in a dream.

Overnight, I just went out and walked around at random, and all my troubles were solved at once!?

I actually have a relationship with the legendary family of Rothschild!

Some may say that I was too reckless. Agreed to someone else's request so easily. But only I understand: I have no choice!

Or, I'm ready to get out of here. Or, I can make a bet, and even if I make a mistake, I have nothing to lose.

Sometimes, it's as simple as that.

I drove all the way back to my accommodation, and when I entered the door, I realized that the lights in the living room were on. Yang Wei sat there, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I coughed. Closing the door and coming in, Yang Wei also looked at me. We were both a little speechless.

Finally, after nearly a minute, Yang Wei spoke: "Just now...... Li Wenjing called me. He told me......"

"Yes, that's right." I said to Yang Wei calmly: "I have already told Li Wenjing, no matter what you asked him to help before, it has been canceled now." Because I don't want to get help from him in this way. ”

Yang Wei was silent, but she didn't have any unexpected reactions, and she seemed very calm.

"I understand." Yang lowered his head slightly and thought about it. He looked up and said, "This matter, maybe I owe it to me." Maybe I don't really know you men. ”

"You really don't understand." I said it directly, but then I looked her in the eye and said slowly, "By the way, I'm going to tell you too...... Even though you slapped me in the face today, I want to thank you for preventing me from doing something stupid. At least, that's what I admit I was wrong. ”

"Then it's not stupid to refuse Li Wenjing's help?" Yang Wei still couldn't help but ask.

I walked over and stood in front of her, and I looked down at her. It seems that since I have known Yang Wei, I have never spoken to her in such a serious and unceremonious tone......

I told her, "You have to remember something...... Men are sometimes simple, but sometimes they are also complicated! In our world, there are some things where right is right and wrong is wrong...... But there are times when there is no right or wrong in things, and the most important thing is the principle! Then I added, "I really want to make money, I want to grow myself." But, the premise is, I'm not going to do something I don't want to do for this! Otherwise, I'd rather do nothing. ”

Yang Wei's face was a little complicated, she thought about it, sighed, lowered her head, and then when she raised her head again, she looked at me: "So...... Now, are we reconciled? ”

I thought for a moment: "Not yet." ”

Yang Wei's face was a little ugly.

I was a little soft-hearted, but I continued: "I never hit a woman, no matter what woman I am around, I respect it. However, I also don't have the habit of being beaten by women. Maybe you could say I did something stupid. But I just want to tell you: no man likes the feeling of being controlled by his own woman. Yang Wei, maybe you didn't understand these truths before, but I hope you can understand these things from now on. ”

I leaned closer, reached out and gently lifted her chin, Yang Wei was a little surprised by the toughness I showed, as if I wanted to dodge, but I gently pinched her chin, then lowered my body and kissed her on the lips, then I stood up, looked at her, and whispered, "I love you very much, and I am the same now...... But just because I love you doesn't mean I like to listen to you for everything. ”

I pointed to my temple: "I have my own way of thinking and doing things. ”

I let go of Yang Wei, then turned around and went upstairs to sleep.

"Rest well, tomorrow is another day."
